Dressed as the regent's palm

Chapter 58 Meng Baili Was Captured

The next day.

Qingyange was rolling on the bed, she dreamed that she and Jiuque were falling apart, and couldn't help laughing and trembling.

"Princess, wake up."

"Princess, princess, wake up, something really happened this time."

"Princess!"

Qing Yange frowned, and when she heard the noisy calls, she waved her hands in displeasure, "Stop making trouble, I'm just playing with the beautiful iceberg mandarin duck~"

"Princess!! Something big happened!" Qing Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, and reached out her hand to shake Qing Yange's body.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Qing Yange opened her eyes in a flash, looking blankly at the anxious Qingyuan in front of her eyes.

"Princess, something really big happened this time!" Qing Yuan said with an eager tone.

"Are you talking about what happened?" Qing Yange asked with her eyebrows frowned.

"General Meng has been captured!" Qing Yuan replied seriously.

Qing Yange raised an eyebrow.

The name seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

But where is it?

"Princess, why didn't you respond?! General Meng is your son-in-law. Now that he is captured by the Huns, shouldn't he slap you in the face properly?" Seeing Qing Yange's calm face, Qing Yuan's expression Not much has changed, she quickly reminded.

"You mean that General Meng is Meng Baili?" Qing Yange flipped over from the bed and sat up.

Qing Yuan nodded, and asked in disbelief: "Yes, princess, you don't think you will forget about General Meng because there are too many concubines, and General Meng has been stationed in the frontier all year round!"

Qing Yange's eyes slightly raised.

Meng Baili is one of the fierce generals left behind by the princess. He has made great achievements on the battlefield and has a bright future. He is also the backbone for the princess to hold the military power.

How could she forget such an important person?
Thinking of this, Qing Yange immediately got off the bed, "Tell me carefully what's going on."

……

"Meng Baili was captured?" Jiu Que's hand holding the brush paused slightly, and a cold light flashed in his dark eyes.

Cen Bin wiped the sweat off his forehead anxiously, and replied with a guilty conscience, "Yes..."

"Didn't we send 30 troops to support?" Jiu Que raised his eyebrows and looked at Cen Bin.

Cen Bin paled in shock, and quickly knelt on the ground, "The march was delayed for some time."

"How long was the delay?" Jiu Que's thin cold lips parted slightly.

"Estimated to be six days." Cen Bin replied in panic.

With a "snap", Jiu Que's writing brush was directly placed on the table, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost.

"I just let the marching road go slowly, and it is estimated that it will be delayed for about three days. Why is it delayed for six days now?"

"It's because the general who led the army knew that you and the princess had just got married, so they guessed your intentions without authorization, so they delayed this trip again and again, and finally let the Xiongnu break Xiliang City, and killed General Meng Baili." Cen Bin His face was pale with fright, but he still said bravely.

"Okay, what a guess!" Jiu Que hooked his mouth, with a cold breath all over his body, and he asked: "Who is the general who leads the 30 army?"

"Yes...it's General Meng Tian..." Cen Bin stammered out a name.

"Remove his general position and let the deputy general take over temporarily." Jiu Que's eyes glowed with a serious light.

"But...General Meng Tian is currently the most powerful general under our banner, and he is the only one who can compete with Meng Baili. If he is cut off as a general this time, I'm afraid his reputation in the army will plummet. It won't be good for us then!" Cen Bin comforted him earnestly.

The corners of Jiu Que's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, and he slowly lowered his eyes, staring at Cen Bin for a moment, "You also said that Meng Tian and Meng Baili were competing in the army, what do you think he will do this time?" Is it to guess what I mean, or is it deliberately delaying Meng Baili's capture?"

"This..." Cen Bin's pupils shrank slightly, he didn't expect this level.

"It's a big taboo in the army to frame a colleague. Meng Tian is jealous, so he can't sit in this position for the time being." Jiu Que said coldly.

"Master, what should Meng Baili do?" Cen Bin asked.

"Naturally to rescue." Jiu Que replied without thinking.

"But Meng Baili belongs to the princess after all!" Cen Bin said eagerly.

Master, you must not ignore the ambition of that woman Qingyange right now!
"Even so, he is still a brave general in my Tiancang. Abandoning him would be a great loss for my Tiancang." Jiu Que didn't know Cen Bin's worries, but he cherished talents even more.

"But the condition proposed by the Huns is that they will exchange Dugu Ziqiu, the deputy commander of the Huns who was imprisoned in Beijing!" Cen Bin sighed.

Jiu Que narrowed his eyes slightly, and his brows were furrowed, thinking about this condition.

"Master, Dugu Ziqiu was captured by us after a lot of trouble, and even lost his life. If we let go for a young general who has just made some achievements, I'm afraid there will be no complaints from the common people!" Cen Bin analyzed for Jiu Que. The pros and cons of it.

There was a trace of determination in Jiu Que's eyes, and his cool thin lips parted slightly, "Change."

"But master, this Duguziqiu is a trump card in our hands, how can we—"

"I said to exchange him, don't you understand?" Jiu Que asked in a cold voice.

"...Yes." Cen Bin replied reluctantly.

dungeon.

"Get out of the way, do you hear me?" Qing Yange looked at the two officers and soldiers holding spears coldly, she said.

"Princess, don't embarrass the little ones. All the criminals are imprisoned here. If it is not for the emperor's will, we will not let you go even if you are a princess!" The two officers and soldiers said with a bitter face.

"The royal bloodline now only leaves me and the emperor. The emperor is young, and I will temporarily take over many affairs in the court. Why, you don't listen to me, do you listen to the regent?" Qing Yange's eyes flickered. In the cold light, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The two officers and soldiers looked at each other, and they exchanged the look in each other's eyes.

After several struggles, the two of them knelt down together, "Princess, please."

Qingyange smiled in satisfaction, and led Qingyuan into the dungeon together.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, the smell of blood and rust mixed together, and there was even a smell of burnt meat, which made people sick.

As soon as Qing Yuan stepped into the dungeon, she couldn't help retching, and the closer she got to the inside, the more difficult it was for her to breathe.

Qing Yange glanced at Qing Yuan from the corner of her eye, and said worriedly: "Qing Yuan, you go out and wait for me."

Qing Yuan suppressed the discomfort in her body, she shook her head, "No, it's not safe for you to be here alone, princess."

Knowing Qing Yuan's stubborn temper, Qing Yange let her go with a sigh, "Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief."

"Yes." Qing Yuan replied obediently.
