Chapter 698 Don't Lie
After Chen Ang finished speaking, Li Longji's face became even more angry.

"Li Canghai, what else do you have to say?" Li Longji snapped.

Li Canghai frowned, and said in a deep voice: "According to Master Chen, the informer is a humble minister. However, I have a few questions that I would like to ask Master Chen."

"The evidence is convincing, what else do you have to ask? Li Canghai, thanks to my trust in you, I didn't expect you to collude with rebels. This really chills me!" Li Longji said angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Lord Li is loyal to His Majesty and will never do such a rebellious thing. Your Majesty still listen to him. If what he says is unreasonable, it will not be too late to convict him!" Gao Lishi hurriedly said.

Li Longji's chest rose and fell, as if he was very angry. Hearing Gao Lishi's words, he stared at Li Canghai and said, "Okay, then I'll just listen. What can you ask?"

Li Canghai bowed his hands gratefully to Gao Lishi, but he didn't expect that it was him who helped Li Canghai at the critical moment.

Gao Lishi nodded slightly to him, and then gently patted Li Longji's back.

Li Canghai looked at Chen Ang, but Chen Ang didn't dare to look directly at him. Whenever the two of them made eye contact, Chen Ang's eyes would involuntarily move away. This is a typical appearance of lying.

"Master Chen, let me ask you, how is your so-called plan arranged?" Li Canghai stared at him and asked.

Chen Ang lowered his head and said: "The Dongzheng military camp is located twenty miles south of Chang'an, and the most convenient way to enter the city is through the Anhua Gate. But this route is very obvious, and Yi Zhong lays an ambush, so the subordinate officer led Long Wuwei to enter the city from the military camp. Go east for ten miles, then go north for ten miles, pass through Lubenyuan, Drunken Butterfly Forest, and then go west for ten miles, you can return to Anhuamen. Although the journey is a bit long, it is relatively safe and good Avoid people's eyes and ears."

Li Canghai nodded, and continued, "Who made this plan?"

"This plan was decided by Yushitai and the military officials." Chen Ang replied.

"Second question, when you were attacked, did you see how many people were on the other side?" Li Canghai asked.

"We were suddenly attacked, and there was chaos. I didn't know the number of people on the other side, but at least there should be nearly a hundred people." Chen Ang recalled.

"The third question, how did you escape?" Li Canghai asked with narrowed eyes.

"When we met the thieves, we tried our best to kill the thieves, but there were so many rebels, we were outnumbered and scattered in all directions. The officials tried their best to kill a few thieves and seized their horses. It was a fluke Escape." Chen Ang said.

After Li Canghai listened, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he sneered suddenly.

This sneer came to Chen Ang's ears, and it was like a ghost's voice, which made his body tremble involuntarily.

"My lord... why are you sneering?" Chen Ang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and asked.

"Master Chen must have never lied, right?" Li Canghai said calmly.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Chen Ang asked cautiously.

"Because Mr. Chen is not good at lying! What you said is full of loopholes!" Li Canghai gave him a sympathetic look and said.

Chen Ang hurriedly raised his head, and shouted: "Everything that the officer said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

"Oh? Is everything true? Then let me teach Mr. Chen how to lie." Li Canghai smiled, and said in a flat tone: "I'll ask you, do you know martial arts?"

Chen Ang rolled his eyeballs, nodded and said, "Your official really knows how to work like a three-legged cat."

"How does your martial arts compare with Long Wuwei?" Li Canghai asked.

"It's not as good as it is." Chen Ang frowned.

Li Canghai smiled: "But as far as I know, Mr. Chen is just a frail scholar and doesn't know martial arts?"

"Master Li, what do you ask have anything to do with your collusion with the rebels? Could it be that you are talking about him and want to take the opportunity to get rid of the crime?" Song Kun said deliberately and hummed loudly.

Li Canghai glanced at Song Kun, and said disapprovingly, "How does Mr. Song know that these things have nothing to do with this case?"

"Although Mr. Chen is a civil servant, he works in the Ministry of War after all. It's not uncommon for him to be able to practice martial arts. Does anyone in this world have to tell if he has practiced martial arts?" Song Kun said loudly.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said: "Master Song is right, maybe Master Chen is a peerless master who hides his secrets, then there is one thing involved here, since Master Chen is a master, why didn't he protect the prison car? Instead, watch the rebels take the prison van?"

"My lord, what I know is just some three-legged cat's kung fu, not a martial arts master at all!" Chen Ang shouted hurriedly.

Although Song Kun was speaking for him, he almost pushed him into the pit.

As a master, not only failed to protect the prison car, but was killed, he threw away his helmet and armor, how could the emperor spare him lightly?

"Okay, since you're not an expert, how could you escape from the opponent's ambush? What's more, the opponent has more than twice as many people as you?" Li Canghai's tone suddenly changed, and he asked sharply.

"When... there was chaos at the time, the officials managed to kill a few rebels before they escaped!" Chen Ang said anxiously.

"Oh? That's strange. None of the more than fifty Long Wuwei with high martial arts skills survived, but Mr. Chen, who only knows some three-legged cat kung fu, escaped from the sky? Could it be that the Long Wuwei around the Holy One is not as good as a single one?" A subject who knows three-legged cat kung fu?" Li Canghai said coldly.

Cold sweat suddenly flowed from Chen Ang's forehead.

"Master Li, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Long Wuwei is a waste?" Song Kun deliberately shouted.

As soon as this remark came out, General Long Wuwei, who was in charge of guarding the safety of the emperor, stepped out.

He stared at Li Canghai, and said in a low voice, "Master Li, do you mean that you look down on our Long Wuwei?"

Li Canghai saluted General Longwuwei, and said seriously: "Longwuwei is the royal guard, and everyone is a hero. When we were investigating in the drunken butterfly forest, the corpses of Longwuwei's brothers were scattered all over the field, and no one survived. But Their blades were also stained with the blood of rebels. I believe that when they encountered a strong enemy, they did not back down. They used their lives to defend the prestige of Longwuwei! Li Canghai only admired Longwuwei, Never underestimate!"

What Li Canghai said was sincere.After General Long Wuwei heard this, his eyes turned red and he almost cried.

As a general, he eats and sleeps with ordinary soldiers, lives and dies together, and can be said to be as close as brothers.

Only those who have experienced the bloody storm will cherish the people around them more.

The general clasped his fists at Li Canghai, saluted deeply, and retreated to the court.

Li Canghai glanced at Song Kun, who was deliberately provoking, snorted coldly, and then continued: "Dozens of people in Longwuwei all died at the hands of rebels, but Mr. Chen said that he killed several rebels. , and escaped. I really want to know, how Master Chen escaped from nearly a hundred people?"
