Chapter 408 Suspect Zhao Jin

The child in his arms didn't sleep well, and he moaned and called his concubine mother.Rong Zhao walked around the house with Xiao Rongnian in his arms, humming a little song, it took a long time before he fell asleep.

"Are you asleep?" Xiao Junjue looked at her daughter and whispered, "Put her down, she's so heavy and tired."

"It's all right, I'm not tired. I'll hang around for a while, and then I'll put it down when she falls asleep." Rong Zhao carefully put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and sat beside her for a while until the sound of her smile grew stronger. Fang hangs down the bed curtain.

Both children were frightened today, so they must stay with them.

Afraid of waking up the children, Rong Zhao walked up to Xiao Junjue in a low voice, and put a hand on his shoulder, "I'll just say it casually, it may not be him who did it, so don't worry too much. .”

Xiao Junjue pressed her hand, turned his face sideways, "I have asked Ye Ying and Ye Xiao to investigate, maybe tomorrow will have the answer."

Rong Zhao sighed, resting his chin on his shoulder, the orange light shrouded her face, adding a bit of tenderness to her beautiful face, "Life is really impermanent, a good person, you still say in the morning Talking, it will turn into a cold corpse at night. If I had known, I would not be so angry with her, and she would not sulk and run to the grove to be killed."

Rong Zhao blamed herself a little, although Xinyue's various behaviors towards Xiao Junjue made her feel uncomfortable, but after all, it was a human life, and it was the way of death.

"What does this have to do with you?" Xiao Junjue turned around, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her on the forehead. He was full of apology, "If you blame me, you shouldn't keep her. In fact, Nuyue Kingdom I was not afraid of joining the war. I just thought at the time that one less is one. And the alliance withdrawing one is also a psychological tactic for them. If I don’t need to break them one by one, they will be like loose sand, and the war can end as soon as possible. .”

Xiao Junjue felt it was a pity, as Xinyue was a very good general.But such a soldier should die well if he died on the battlefield, but now...

The two depended on each other, and they were silent for a long time. Rong Zhao suddenly asked, "How do you explain the side of Nuyue Kingdom?"

Xiao Junjue held her arm and said, "I was a prisoner in the first place, so what is there to explain." He didn't care about that.

Rong Zhao stared at him in surprise, but was speechless.

"Okay, don't worry about it." Xiao Junjue caressed her cheek, "I'm here for everything."

Rong Zhao nodded and leaned against his chest.

I have never encountered such a thing before, let alone a child, even Rong Zhao would be terrified when encountering such a thing.

Waking up the next morning, Xiao Rongnian has been entangled with Rong Zhao, listless, not talking, or crying.

Rong Zhao had no choice but to hug her, which made her arms sore, even if she wanted to take a break with someone else.

"Is it okay for the father to hug me for a while and let the mother and concubine rest for a while?" Xiao Junjue was afraid that Rong Zhao would be tired, and wanted to change, so he opened his arms towards Xiao Rongnian.

Xiao Rongnian glanced at him, then lay on Rong Zhao's shoulder again, moaning and crying again.

"Hey, mother concubine hugs, mother concubine hugs." Rong Zhao shook his head at Xiao Junjue.

"Mother and concubine are afraid." Xiao Rongnian's voice was low and cat-like.

Rong Zhao stroked her head, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what are you afraid of when Concubine Mu is here? Concubine Mu will accompany you and guard you."

Xiao Junjue looked at her daughter's frightened appearance, like a frightened bird, and felt uncomfortable.

"Did you drink the soothing soup?" Xiao Junjue asked.

Rong Zhao changed his hand to hold it, "I just drank it."

Xiao Junjue dragged Rong Zhao's arm underneath to relieve the soreness in her arm.

"If it doesn't work, go to the nearby county to see a doctor."

Rong Zhao was also helpless, and said softly, "It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just that she was overly frightened. Let's see again. If it's still like this in a few days, I'll take her there again."

"I'm afraid of your hard work."

"My children, what's the hard work?"

He hugged him sideways for a while, watched Xiao Rongnian's eyelids slowly droop, closed his eyes for a while, grinned again, and then closed his eyes again, doing this several times, and slowly fell asleep.

Rong Zhao put her on the bed and was finally able to rest for a while. His arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them up. Xiao Junjue rubbed her shoulders and squeezed her arms. If you are frightened, you are still troubled. Otherwise, you should go back to Yizhou first, and don't stay here with me."

"No, we agreed that we will never be separated again. Besides, I am worried that you are fighting here."

Rong Zhao grabbed Xiao Junjue's hand and leaned on him, "No matter what happens, our family will never be separated again. I believe that Rong Nian is a strong child, and she will be fine soon."

Xiao Junjue touched Rong Zhao's cheek with his lips, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

"My lord." The voice of Nighthawk came from outside.

Rong Zhao straightened up, Xiao Junjue raised his voice, "Come in." After Yeying walked in, he asked again, "What's the result of the investigation?"

Nighthawk clasped his fists and found that Xiaoshizi and the little princess were sleeping. He deliberately lowered his voice, but his face looked distressed, and he hesitated, "Someone saw...Zhao Jin...going to the direction of the small forest in the afternoon, or Yes..." Nighthawk hesitated to speak.

Xiao Junjue frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What else?"

Rong Zhao rolled his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed.

Nighthawk didn't dare to dawdle, and said: "When the military doctor was examining Xinyue's body, he found a red gemstone scratched on her clothes." He glanced at Xiao Junjue again, "And that gemstone is exactly the one on Zhao Jin's sword. Inlaid."

Xiao Junjue stood up abruptly, a burst of anger was on the verge of erupting, and he didn't let it out because he cared about the children, he only gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Good Zhao Jin, his courage is really getting bigger and bigger!"

With a flick of the robe, he left the account angrily.

Rong Zhao felt uneasy, thought for a moment, and called Qiu Shui, "Take care of the prince and princess, I'll go out and have a look."

When Rong Zhao followed, he saw Zhao Jin kneeling in the center, with his face turned and dissatisfied.

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, but you still don't admit it. Did you really recruit me because you want the king to serve you?" Xiao Jun sat on the top seat with a big sword and a golden horse, her face was not angry and pretentious.

Zhao Jin bit his cheek and denied it desperately, "This subordinate has never done it, even if the prince kills this subordinate, this subordinate will not admit it."

Xiao Junjue slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily, "Zhao Jin!"

There were only Murong Lan and Yeying Yexiao in the room, and they were all from their own family.Rong Zhao hurried in and held Xiao Jun's hand, "Say what you have to say, don't get angry."

Xiao Jun calmed down his anger, sat down, squinted at Zhao Jin, and said, "Look at what you look like now! If it weren't for the fact that you have followed this king for many years, through life and death, this king would not ask anything now, and would directly kill you." Push it out and chop it!"

Zhao Jin has been with him since he went to the battlefield at the age of 13. Zhao Jin was a few years older than him, and his martial arts were also higher than him at that time. When he went to battle, it was Zhao Jin who protected him.The two fought out of the siege together, and they were life and death partners who rushed into the enemy camp together. Zhao Jin blocked him several times, and even wandered on the line of life and death many times, almost dying.

Although he later returned to the court and left the Northwest Army, unlike Ye Ying Ye Xiao who was always by his side, he was a little further away, but this life-and-death friendship has not faded.

But this time when he came to the army again, he found that the Northwest Army was no longer the disciplined Northwest Army he led back then. It was much more disorganized than before, even Murong Lan and Zhao Jin were the same.

He knew very well that his deterrence in the Northwest Army was not as good as before, and those previous orders gradually lost their effectiveness.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Jin had gone so far as to rape and kill women. What's the difference between this and Sunrise's invasion of Beiyuan to bully women and children?
Rong Zhao is the one who does not allow men to bully women the most. He glared at Zhao Jin and said sharply, "Zhao Jin, did you do it?"

She was even more distressed by Xiao Junjue, knowing that he is a man of talent, Zhao Jin has the ability to lead the army, he is a talent, it would be a pity if he were to be executed, let alone his man.

Zhao Jin pursed his lips, looked at Xiao Junjue, then looked at Rong Zhao, and said earnestly: "Princess, it really wasn't done by my subordinates. The subordinates admitted that they did get along with Xinyue and Xiaoshuli for a while." , However, we just talked for a while, and it was only time for a cup of tea, and then I left, her death really has nothing to do with me."

"Then how do you explain the jewel on your saber? Why is it on Xinyue?" Rong Zhao asked.

Zhao Jin hesitated, pondered for a moment, then shook his head weakly, "I really don't know, not even the subordinate who lost this gem."

That ruby ​​was given to him by the prince for his first contribution during the Vietnam War.He deliberately took it to the blacksmith's shop, and had it inlaid on the sword.

He suddenly raised his head, looked at Rong Zhao with lightning-like eyes, and said, "But my concubine, my subordinates really never did anything to kill Xinyue. Although there were indeed some misdeeds before. But since..."

Glancing at Xiao Junjue, he continued: "After the prince punishes, the subordinates will no longer have any unreasonable thoughts."

Xiao Jun said sullenly: "Then what did you do this afternoon! Where were you when Xinyue died! Someone can prove it!"

His tone was heavy, and Zhao Jin's ears felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had already confirmed his crime.

Zhao Jin was very angry, and his tone of voice was not very good, "I didn't do anything, and no one proved it. If the prince doesn't trust his subordinates, then he will cut off his subordinates' heads."

Murong Lan wanted to jump in a hurry, this Zhao Jin, why is he playing with his temper at this juncture!
He cupped his hands towards Xiao Junjue and said, "My lord-"

Just as he asked Qing to speak for Zhao Jin, Xiao Junjue shouted at him, "Shut up, I didn't ask you!"

Murong Lan was sleepy, she lowered her head and stepped aside, then she winked at Zhao Jin, telling him not to talk back to the prince again.

Zhao Jin had a stubborn temper, and said: "Murong Lan, you don't need to plead with the lord for me. Anyway, in the eyes of the lord, I have already been identified as the murderer. I will let the lord do whatever he wants, without any complaints."
