Bai Jiyue was also very moved when he heard this. Bai Shousheng was a low-key person and seldom told his children about his past achievements. In Bai Jiyue's memory, the original owner only knew that her father was a great general and fought in wars, but she didn't know the specific details.

"General Bai is not only a martial arts expert, but also a great master in the art of war. In his subsequent duels with Prince Yun, he won by using his military tactics with a smaller force!" Prince Qing continued.

Bai Jiyue was just about to say something polite, saying that he was flattering his father, but he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Back then, my brother and General Bai had such a good relationship that they could sleep on the same bed. As his younger brother, I was extremely envious. It's a pity that things are unpredictable in this world. Who could have known what would happen later..."

Bai Yiri clenched his fists.

Prince Qing then said with a regretful tone: "If you want me to believe that General Bai embezzled, I absolutely don't believe it. My brother has such a good relationship with General Bai, but he actually believed it! This is really beyond everyone's expectations!"

Bai Jiyue looked at him quietly. Here it came, his main point. She just listened quietly to what he had to say!

"Don't you two have any doubts about this matter at all?" After he said that, he looked at Bai Jiyue and then at Bai Jiri.

Bai Jiri moved his lips but said nothing and looked at Bai Jiyue.

He knew that his elder sister was both intelligent and brave, so he didn't dare to speak casually and just waited for Bai Jiyue to make the decision.

Bai Jiyue clasped his hands in the direction of the capital and said, "I have no right to comment on the crime that the emperor has convicted."

She knew that what Prince Qing said made sense, but she also knew that he was trying to sow discord, so she didn't reveal her attitude easily because she didn't know what Prince Qing wanted.

Prince Qing pursed his lips and suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

Bai Jiyue is very smart. She doesn't give in at all, and her attitude is hard to figure out.

After thinking for a while, he said directly: "I can help you two investigate the case of General Bai's embezzlement two years ago!"

Bai Jiyue asked: "How can Your Highness help us?"

"It's very likely that military commanders are comrades in arms. Coincidentally, I have a deputy general under my command who was previously a comrade of General Wang who was on duty at the Imperial Mausoleum, and they had a pretty good relationship.

“General Wang, as you all know, was originally General Bai’s deputy general, guarding the imperial mausoleum with General Bai. It was only after General Bai got into trouble that General Wang was promoted to the rank of general.

"With General Wang's help, even if General Bai's case won't be solved, at least there will be some clues. If it doesn't work, I can help one of you sneak in for a few days and investigate thoroughly."

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri looked at each other. They were worried that they couldn’t find an opportunity, and then the opportunity came!

Even if I can't clear my father's name all at once, I can at least find some clues!

She looked at Prince Qing and said, "Your Highness, I am a stupid person. I hope Your Highness can tell me what we can do for you."

King Qing smiled and said, "We are all smart people, so let's not beat around the bush. I need your help to transport the dark stones to me."

Dark stone!

I have to say that Prince Qing is smart and he really chose the right person in finding Bai Jiyue.

If we were to say who in the human race has the easiest time getting dark stones, it would be her, the dark stone historian.

Although the quantity of dark stones is registered, if Bai Jiyue wants to do something tricky, there are plenty of ways to do it.

But what does King Qing want the dark stone for? The dark stone is useless except that it can be used by the craftsmen to make weapons and various things.

But the fact that it is used only as weapons by the craftsmen makes it extremely useful!

Could it be that Prince Qing is...

Bai Jiyue looked at Prince Qing in shock, but did not express his guess.

How can you say such a guess? If you say it, it will be fatal!

Thinking about it, she asked Prince Qing: "Your Highness, our Dark Stone convoy was attacked by a large number of spirit beasts last night. May I ask Your Highness, how come there are so many spirit beasts in Jiayuan County? What happened?"

Prince Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know what's going on either."

Bai Jiyue stood up and said, "Your Highness Prince Qing's kindness, I am very grateful and will always remember it in my heart! As for my father's matter, we have already accepted our fate. For now, my eldest brother and I just want to do our job well and live with our mother and sister."

After she finished speaking, she clasped her fists towards Prince Qing and said, "I still have to escort the dark stone to the Ministry of Works to report, so I'll take my leave now."

Bai Jiri stood up and clasped his fists to Prince Qing, and the two of them walked out.

Her change was so sudden that Prince Qing was caught off guard. He waited until Bai Jiyue and his sister were about to walk out the door before he realized what was going on.

This woman is much smarter than he thought, she has seen through everything!

It seems that it will take some effort to conquer her. But he likes to do challenging things!

Thinking of this, he shouted to Bai Jiyue's back: "Stop!"

Bai Jiyue stopped and looked back, seeing that King Qing had thrown something to her. She subconsciously reached out to catch it and found that it was a black piece of iron that looked like it had been peeled off from armor.

"Take this to General Wang, and he will do his best to help you."

Bai Jiyue looked at him, and he curled his lips slightly: "It's my compensation on the spot. You can decide whether to use it or not."

Bai Jiyue squeezed the nail piece in his hand hard, thanked him in a deep voice, and strode away.

After leaving the palace, Bai Jiri couldn't help asking, "Big sister, what's going on? We've already said we won't help Prince Qing, so why did he give you that thing? And what about compensation?"

He also thought that the reason why Prince Qing wanted the dark stone might be to make weapons. What does it mean for a prince to make weapons in his own fiefdom? That means he is going to rebel!

When it comes to rebellion, the winner becomes the king, while the loser's entire family suffers. Unless they are extremely sure, it is better for them to stay away from it as much as possible.

So, when Bai Jiyue rejected Prince Qing, he followed his sister's decision without thinking.

But the last few words spoken by his elder sister and Prince Qing really puzzled him.

Bai Jiyue said coldly: "He should compensate us, because he was the one who planned the attack of the spirit beast on us last night!"

Bai Yiri was shocked: "Really? How did you know that?"

"I suddenly figured it out when he asked me to help him transport the dark stones. Brother, think about it, the people under King Qing's rule live and work in peace and contentment, how could such a large number of spirit beasts appear in the wild not far from the county town to attack our convoy?"

Bai Yiri nodded: "You said so, it's true! I didn't expect it!"

"Not only that, Liang Bing arrived just in time and the weapons he brought were specifically designed to deal with those cows!"

"It is possible that the Liang soldiers arrived in time. After all, the place where we fought last night is not far from the county town." Bai Jiri said.

"But what about the weapons?" Bai Jiyue asked immediately.
