In the study of the general's mansion, old general Su Xiong sat on a chair with a frown on his face.

He has always been worried about Su Chengyi's safety, because there is another city lord in Ning'an City, Zhao Shijie, who is the brother-in-law of Prime Minister Wu Yihong.

Su Heng rushed into the general's mansion and went straight to the study.

He pushed open the door of the study room and said, "General, this is bad. The young general has been taken to the city lord's mansion."

As soon as Su Heng entered, he knelt in front of Su Xiong and said anxiously.

Su Xiong immediately stood up from his chair and asked in shock: "What? What did you say?"

"Reporting to the general, the young master has been taken to the city lord's mansion."

Su Heng said it again. They protected the young master all the way into the city, but as soon as he entered the city, he was captured by the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion.

Su Xiong staggered two steps and fell back into his chair with an angry look on his face.

"What does Zhao Shijie want to do?"

Su Heng replied with sweat on his forehead: "This may be related to Prime Minister Wu."

Su Xiong stood up again and walked a few steps in the room, "Has the princess entered the city?"

"Reporting to the general, the princess and the third prince entered the city before you, and stayed in the city lord's mansion."

Su Xiong pursed his lips and said to Su Heng;

"Find a way to let the princess know that Yi'er is imprisoned in the City Lord's Mansion, so that Yi'er can save his life first."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

Su Heng also felt that this method was feasible. After all, the princess was engaged to his son, and she had admired him since childhood. At this time, she would not watch him die.

Su Heng turned and walked out of the study, thinking about how he could let the princess know about the young master.

Su Xiong was sitting in the study with a worried look on his face. He didn't expect Zhao Shijie to interfere.

If he dared to kill his Yi'er, he would definitely destroy his City Lord's Mansion.

However, he would not do such a drastic thing unless it was absolutely necessary. War would only bring suffering to innocent people. He hoped that day would never come.

Su Heng quickly arrived near the City Lord's Mansion, hid in the dark, and checked the situation in the City Lord's Mansion.

In the past, there were no soldiers guarding the walls of the City Lord's Mansion, but now there is a sentry post every five steps, and there are also teams patrolling at irregular intervals.

How can I tell the princess? What should I do? If I delay any longer, the young master will be in greater danger.

At this time, the princess was attending a welcoming banquet hosted by the city lord with her brother.

The third prince sat at the top, with the city lord Zhao Shijie and the princess sitting on both sides.

The city lord's wife Wu Baili and her son Zhao Fangye sat at the bottom.

Zhao Shijie picked up his glass and stood up to toast Fu Yicheng:

"I offer a toast to the Third Prince and congratulate the Third Prince and the Princess for visiting my humble home. I apologize for my inadequate care. Please forgive me! I will drink first as a token of my respect."

After Zhao Shijie finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

Fu Yicheng smiled and said to Zhao Shijie:

"You are too polite, Lord Zhao. My brother and I were ordered by our father to go to the Northern Frontier to understand the people's sentiments. Please forgive us for disturbing you!"

Zhao Shijie said quickly: "Third Prince is too polite. If you need anything, the old city will definitely cooperate with you."

Then Zhao Shijie pointed at Zhao Fangye and said:

"This is my son. If you have any instructions, you can let him do it."

Zhao Fangye quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Fu Yicheng.

"I will obey the orders of the Third Prince."

Fu Yicheng said with a smile:

"City Lord Zhao and Young Master Zhao are so enthusiastic. How can this prince refuse their kindness? If I have anything to ask of you, I will definitely trouble you and Young Master Zhao."

"Okay, okay," Zhao Shijie responded repeatedly.

In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, there was constant laughter, clinking of glasses, singing and dancing.

In a basement of the City Lord's Mansion, He Lei, the leader of the palace guards, sat on a chair, staring at Su Chengyi and others with sharp eyes.

The guards brought Gu Changsheng out and stood him in front of He Lei.

"Name, where are you from? What is your intention in coming to Ning'an City?"

A guard asked, while an old man picked up a pen to write.

After all the experiences along the way, Gu Changsheng became calm and spoke slowly.

"I am from Gujia Village in Lincheng. I am Gu Changsheng. Due to the severe drought in Lincheng, I have come to Ning'an City for refuge."

There was no trace of fear in Gu Changsheng's tone and his back was straight.

After the guard asked, he threw Gu Changsheng back into the cell and called Qin Haoyuan out.

Qin Haoyuan walked out of the cell door, stood in front of He Lei, and looked into He Lei's eyes.

The guard also asked: "Name, where are you from?"

"Qin Haoyuan, from the imperial city of the country, grandfather, Qin Ge, father, Qin Zhihua."

As soon as Qin Haoyuan finished speaking, He Lei stood up and looked Qin Haoyuan up and down.

"Are you a little miracle doctor?"

He Lei asked in disbelief how he had captured the little miracle doctor.

Moreover, the Qin family in the capital is a medical family, and even the king has to give them some face.

Qin Haoyuan answered firmly, "That's right."

He Lei then asked: "Do you have any evidence?"

Qin Haoyuan rolled his eyes at He Lei, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to He Lei.

As soon as He Lei saw the words on the jade pendant, he immediately confirmed that the person in front of him was the little miracle doctor.

Then he bowed to Qin Haoyuan and said:

"Please forgive me, little doctor. This is my duty. I have no intention of making things difficult for you. I will give you a reply after I report to the city lord."

Qin Haoyuan was then locked up in a cell.

Then it was the turn of the old monk Bikong, and the guards had the same problem.

Biqi's beard was curled up on both sides, and he stared at He Lei and said word by word:

"Lao Na, the Buddhist name is Bikong, the lay name is Fu Minghui, the younger brother of the late king, the second uncle of Fu Yaotian, and the second grandfather of Fu Yicheng,"

As soon as Bikong finished speaking, everyone looked at him blankly. They had never imagined that the old monk in front of them was actually a member of the royal family and had a high status.

He Lei pounced, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said, "I pay my respects to Uncle Wang."

Bikong glanced at He Lei and said, "Well, now that you know I'm Uncle Wang, why don't you let me and my friends go?"

He Lei stood up and said with an embarrassed look: "Uncle Wang, I am just following orders and cannot make decisions. Please be patient for a while and wait for me to report to the city lord before making a decision."

Helplessly, Bikong was sent back to the cell like Qin Haoyuan.

Then came Song Yanfeng and his subordinates, as well as Jing Mei's siblings, Qu Xiang and others. They all revealed their identities.

Then he called Qu Qiuning and Su Chengyi out.

He Lei looked at Su Chengyi with a hint of contempt in his eyes. His previous glorious military exploits, great reputation, and title of unrivaled hero were probably all fake!

Otherwise, how could he have done such a thing as treason and still have the nerve to live on the land of Daqing?

"Su Chengyi, when you were collaborating with the enemy and selling out your country, have you ever thought about the consequences today? As a general of Daqing, how could you do this? It really chills the hearts of the people of Daqing."

As He Lei spoke, he looked at Su Chengyi with an expression of hatred and pity in his eyes.

Su Chengyi sneered: "Humph, treacherous officials are in power, and they can easily find excuses to accuse someone of a crime."
