In the bleak autumn wind, two figures, a man and a woman, stood facing each other in the Ten Mile Pavilion outside Chang'an City.

"Thank you General Cheng."

Princess of Wa, no, she should be called Matsumoto Lily now.

Matsumoto Baihe bowed to Cheng Yiyingying, stood up and looked gratefully at the man standing in front of her.

"If General Cheng hadn't rescued her, I'm afraid the little girl would be trapped in a cage for the rest of her life."

Matsumoto Yuri said to Cheng Yi sincerely.

Cheng Yi waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Not to mention the effort of lifting a finger, you don't have to take it to heart."

Yuri Matsumoto nodded with tears in her eyes.

"In the future, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide. I hope His Highness will cherish it."

Cheng Yi said goodbye to Matsumoto Yuri.

"The future that General Cheng earned for the little girl, the little girl naturally dare not treat herself harshly."

After saying that, Matsumoto Yuri pulled up the hood and put it on her head, then turned and walked towards a carriage not far from the hall.

Halfway through the walk, Matsumoto Baihe suddenly turned her head again. She first took a deep look at Cheng Yi, and then gave Cheng Yi a bow.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi smiled and waved at her: "Let's go!"

Matsumoto Yuri nodded heavily, and then never looked back.

In the carriage, Matsumoto Lily pursed her lips tightly, and tears rolled down her eyes again.

Such a rare man in the world can't help but move her heart, but she has already become filthy, how can she tarnish such a Huaijin holding Yu?

……

After watching the carriage disappear on the horizon, Cheng Yi lazily returned to the General's Mansion.

"Husband, why are you so depressed?"

In the side room of the main courtyard, Li Lizhi was sitting on a low couch with her elbows propped on the low table, her palms dragging her chin, and she looked at Cheng Yi intently.

Cheng Yi, who was leaning on the other side, turned to look at Li Lizhi when he heard the words, and said, "How did Madam find out that her husband is not energetic?"

Li Lizhi frowned, she tilted her head and looked at Cheng Yi for a while.

"Is my husband thinking about the princess of the Japanese country?"

Li Lizhi asked suddenly.

This was Cheng Yi's third day back from Wa Kingdom. For the past three days, he had been busy with Matsumoto Lily's affairs. This realization made Li Lizhi feel a little sour.

She had met Matsumoto Yuhe, and although she didn't want to admit it, she knew in her heart that Matsumoto Yuhe's appearance was indeed better than her own.

She didn't know from the beginning to the end what Matsumoto Lily had experienced before.

Hearing Li Lizhi's question, Cheng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and later realized that something was wrong with Li Lizhi.

He let out a laugh from the bottom of his heart, and with a wave of his long arm, he dragged Li Lizhi into his arms.

With Wenxiang and nephrite in his arms, Cheng Yi told Li Lizhi the story of Matsumoto Lily in a calm tone.

"I'm really thinking about her, but not about her."

Cheng Yi said to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi sniffed, and after hearing what happened to Matsumoto Baihe, she sympathized with that woman, while secretly blaming herself for being unreasonable.

Hearing Cheng Yi's voice, Li Lizhi raised her head and looked at her husband with reddish eyes.

"It's obviously my own flesh and blood, but it's so cruel, it's really disgusting."

Cheng Yi said coldly.

Li Lizhi was filled with righteous indignation: "Yes, such a person is really not worthy of being a father!"

Seeing Li Lizhi's angry look, Cheng Yi couldn't help but tap the tip of her small nose, and jokingly said, "Does the lady still eat it now?"

Li Lizhi's stunning face turned red, and she plunged her head into Cheng Yi's arms, making her feel shy.

"Husband, I know I was wrong!"

Cheng Yi hugged the fragrant lady and laughed heartily.

That night, he had lived in the General's Mansion for a long time, but after Cheng Yi returned to Chang'an City, Chai Shao, who hadn't seen Cheng Yi for the first time, finally couldn't help but came to the door on his own initiative.

Looking at Duke Qiao who looked very haggard in front of him, Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

"We haven't seen each other for more than two months, why did Qiao Guogong look like this?"

Cheng Yi pretended to be surprised.

Chai Shao lamented again and again, and said bitterly: "General Cheng, although the old man is protected by the general, but the old man's useless son is still in the hands of those thieves!"

The implication is that as long as Chai Zhewei is not rescued, he will not feel at ease.

Cheng Yi nodded clearly, but did not speak.

In the spacious study room, there was a moment of silence.

"I beg General Cheng to save the old man's unworthy son!"

Chai Shao's eyes were red.

Cheng Yi stared at Chai Shao for a while, and finally nodded under the other's gaze: "Yes."

Hearing this, Chai Shao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

But before he could say anything else, he heard Cheng Yi say again: "But you have to tell me who Liu gave the imperial decree to, and where did that jade seal come from."

That jade seal couldn't possibly belong to the Great Tang Dynasty, after all, the jade seal that belonged to the Great Tang Empire, as far as he knew, was still well placed in Li Shimin's imperial study.

Chai Shao took a deep look at Cheng Yi, he never thought that the other party had already thought of this.

"How? Use these two secrets to exchange your son's life, isn't it a loss?"

Cheng Yi looked at Chai Shao with a smile.

After staring at each other for a long time, Chai Shao exhaled, and his whole body became sluggish in an instant.

"It is written in the imperial decree that His Majesty passed on Li Chengdao, the son of Crown Prince Yin, Prince of Anlu County."

Chai Shao's voice was as heavy as an evening drum.

"As for the one that was attacked, the old man is not very clear, but I heard the first emperor mentioned it once, and it seems to be the 'Tianzi Seal' made by craftsmen when the first emperor was alive."

Emperor Qin Shihuang?Emperor Xi?

Cheng Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.

Li Yuan, who conquered the country from scratch, wouldn't he think that with these two things, he can drive away his son and keep his grandson in the top position?

"However, the little emperors and grandsons under Prince Yin's knees have already been put to death. Didn't the late emperor know?"

Cheng Yi asked with a frown.

Chai Shao sighed deeply, and said: "The imperial decree was drawn up while the late emperor was still in power. After the Xuanwumen incident, the late emperor was placed under house arrest in Da'an Palace. His majesty can decide what the late emperor can know or not."

Understood!

Cheng Yi thought, Li Shimin deserves to be a wolf. Not only did he kill all his brothers, nephews, and imprison his father, he even played tricks on his old father who had completely lost power.

However, Li Yuan is not an ordinary person. He actually made such a plan before his son objected.

It's a pity, if Li Yuan knew early on that none of Li Jiancheng's sons were left behind, he might be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin?

"but……"

Chai Shao suddenly said again.

"The old man also heard a rumor before that the Anlu County King was not actually killed, and the one who died at the Xuanwu Gate was actually just a substitute."

substitute?

Cheng Yi rubbed his hands, these royal secrets are really interesting.

"Unfortunately, this statement has never been proven." Chai Shao shook his head and sighed.

Cheng Yi touched his bare chin, wondering if he should start growing a beard.

"Where there is no wind, there is no wave. Since there are such rumors, there should be other people who know about the imperial decree left by the late emperor."

As for the identity of that person, it is most likely that he is the black hand behind the kidnapping of Chai Shao and his son who hold the imperial decree and jade seal.

"General Cheng, the old man has already told you everything, I don't know why you can ask the dog?"

Chai Shao asked eagerly.

Nearly three months had passed since he escaped from that village. He had seen the cruelty of those people, so he was naturally very worried about his son's safety.

"Duke Qiao, don't be in a hurry." Cheng Yi smiled slightly, and asked again: "The general has something else I want to ask."

Chai Shao took two deep breaths, and raised his hand in a vain manner: "The general just asks, and the old man will know everything without saying anything."

Chapter 92 Take people down!

"In the beginning, who did the late emperor give these things to?"

Cheng Yi looked directly into Chai Shao's eyes and asked straight to the point.

Hearing Cheng Yi's question, Chai Shao's pupils twitched, and then quickly lowered his head.

Seeing Chai Shao's appearance, Cheng Yi already understood a lot.

As Li Shimin's vassal minister, Chai Shao even made a lot of contributions when the Xuanwumen changed.

As long as Li Yuan's brain is not trapped by the door, he will definitely not choose to hand over such an important thing to Chai Shao.

Therefore, these two things must have been received by Chai Shao from others.

As for who that person is, it is actually not difficult to guess.

As a woman, she does not give way to a man. Not only can she conquer the world and kill all directions, but she can also guard a pass. If he had such a daughter, he would definitely entrust the most important things to her.

But who would have thought that Princess Pingyang would die before Li Yuan!

However, when Princess Pingyang passed away, the battle between the Prince and the King of Qin had intensified, and Li Yuan had no chance to get his belongings back from the Chai Mansion.
