Mingde Hall.

Ji Yanchen walked in hurriedly, his tone very cheerful. The smile on his handsome face added a bit of color to the cold Mingde Hall.

"Your Majesty, there is news about Bian Wunian and Bian Jingyan."

Gu Qingluo, who was dozing off, was fishing with his head moving intermittently. He was suddenly awakened by the voice of Ji Yue Yanchen.

He wiped the corner of his mouth out of habit.

When I lowered my eyes, I saw a puddle of water on my hand.

Gu Qingluo took out a handkerchief and wiped it as if nothing had happened.

Then he looked at Ji Yanchen awkwardly and said, "You didn't see anything, do you know that?"

Ji Yanchen tilted his head and asked knowingly, "Your Majesty, what shouldn't you see?"

"I can see clearly with my own eyes."

Gu Qingluo choked, glanced at him and said unhappily: "Even if you saw it, just pretend you didn't see it."

"You woke me up, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"Fortunately, my Lord is magnanimous and will not bother with you."

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Just now I heard you say something about Bian Wunian and Bian Jingyan. What happened?"

Ji Yanchen smiled slightly, took a few steps forward and said, "They were rescued."

"At this time, they have already met in an inn."

Gu Qingluo was very happy when she heard that Bian Wunian and Bian Jingyan were rescued in the desert.

She leaned forward slightly, stared at Ji Yanchen with her big round eyes and asked, "Are they injured?"

"No, Bian Jingyan is fine except for being a little dehydrated."

Gu Qingluo felt relieved, leaned back in his chair, and murmured, "They must have been betrayed, otherwise how could they be ambushed with their foolproof plan?"

There must be a traitor among the people they brought with them."

Ji Yanchen did not refute Gu Qingluo's words but said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has thought of what I have also thought of."

"I have already sent Mo Yu Mo Yun to investigate."

Gu Qingluo frowned slightly, tapping the armrest with his fingers. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We must get to the bottom of this matter. We must not let such a treacherous person go unpunished."

Ji Yanchen cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Mo Yu and Mo Yun are both capable people. I believe there will be results soon."

Gu Qingluo sighed softly: "Bian Wunian and Bian Jingyan fought for our dynasty and risked their lives. They were in danger this time. I must give them an explanation."

Ji Yanchen said: "Your Majesty is wise. If we can find out the traitor, we can not only give justice to General Bian and his men, but also boost the morale of our army."

At this time, Eunuch Su walked into the hall with tea and snacks and said softly, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Gu Qingluo waved his hand, signaling Eunuch Su to put it down: "I don't feel like eating at the moment, Ji Yanchen, who do you think this traitor could be?"

Ji Yanchen pondered and said, "All the people who went on this expedition are trusted members. It is not easy to find the traitor, but I guess that maybe someone was bribed by the enemy, or maybe someone who has a grudge against General Bian took the opportunity to take revenge."

Gu Qingluo's eyes were sharp: "No matter what the reason is, once it is verified, severe punishment will be imposed."

Ji Yanchen said solemnly: "I understand, and I will not let your majesty down."

Gu Qingluo stood up, stretched, yawned, and said, "If you can't find the murderer, I have a way to find the murderer."

"But the method is a bit risky."

"Let's look at your side first."

"I'm going to sleep for a while."

After saying that, without waiting for Ji Yanchen to speak, he ran away in a hurry.

[Run, run, this bastard man must have bad intentions. ]

[If he torments me every day, I might really have a baby in my belly! ]

When Ji Yanchen heard this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Your Majesty thinks too highly of him. Every day when he is making love with her, he always takes precautions and it is impossible for him to get a baby in her belly.

Even if he wanted to, she wouldn't let him.

……

After a few days, Mo Yu Mo Yun hurried back to Mingde Hall.

Mo Yu knelt down and reported: "Sir, after some investigation, we have found some clues."

Ji Yanchen said: "Speak!"

Mo Yu said: "During this operation, the whereabouts of a soldier were quite suspicious. A few days before the incident, he had a secret conversation with a strange man outside the tent."

"The day before departure, he did not follow General Bian to the State of Chu."

Ji Yanchen's eyes darkened and he said, "Bring this man here for questioning!"

"I will interrogate it myself!"

Mo Yun said: "I will do it right away."

Not long after, the soldier was taken to the Taifu Mansion.

"Why did you betray General Bian and the others?" Ji Yanchen asked gloomily while sitting on the armchair.

"I... I don't know what you are talking about." The soldier lowered his head, not daring to look into Ji Yanchen's eyes.

"Hmph! You don't know? Then why did you tip off the enemy, causing General Bian and the young master to be in danger?" Ji Yanchen asked coldly.

"I...I didn't!" the soldier shouted in panic.

"You dare to deny it! Mo Yu pointed at the soldier and cursed: "Do you think I don't know what you did? You traitor! How can you live up to General Bian's trust in you?"

"I...I..." The soldier finally had nothing to say and lowered his head.

"Tell me the truth, who instructed you to do this?" Mo Yun asked.

"Yes... they are from the State of Chu. They gave me a lot of money and asked me to tell them the action plan of General Bian and the young master." The soldier said in a trembling voice.

"Damn it! You traitor!" Mo Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"Go down and let me interrogate him." Ji Yanchen looked at him and said.

"Yes."

"What's your name?" Ji Yanchen asked.

"Zhang Yu." The soldier answered with his head down.

"Zhang Yu, do you know what the crime of treason is?" Ji Yanchen continued to ask.

"I know..." Zhang Yu's voice trembled.

"Then why do you still do this?" Ji Yanchen stood up and walked to Zhang Yu with a sharp gaze.

"No... I was forced into this!"

Zhang Yu cried, "My family is in the hands of the enemy. If I don't do what they ask, they will kill my family!"

"So you chose to betray your country?"

Ji Yanchen sneered, "You are such a selfish guy!"

"I...I know I was wrong, please spare my life!" Zhang Yu knelt down and begged for mercy.

"It's too late to realize your mistakes now." Ji Yanchen said coldly, "However, if you can atone for your sins, there may be a glimmer of hope."

"Really? Please tell me clearly, sir!" Zhang Yu raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Tell me, what other plans does the Chu State have? Do they have other spies lurking in our country?" he asked.

"I... I don't know!" Zhang Yu shook his head in panic, "I just passed on General Bian and the young master's action plan according to their requirements. I don't know anything else!"

"You are lying!" Ji Yanchen snorted coldly.

"Since you can collude with people from the enemy country, it is impossible that you know nothing about them! If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for not being kind to you!"

Ji Yanchen gestured to Mo Yun.

As he spoke, Mo Yun pulled out a dagger from his arms and put it against Zhang Yu's throat.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Zhang Yu turned pale with fright and begged for mercy quickly.

"I only know that their target this time is not only General Bian and the young master, but also our army. They want to take advantage of the civil strife caused by the disappearance of General Bian and his men to attack and occupy our city in one fell swoop!"

"What else? Did they reveal any more details?"

"Yes... They also said that as long as we surrender, they can guarantee our safety and give us generous treatment." Zhang Yu said tremblingly.

Ji Yanchen asked disdainfully: "What else are you hiding from me?"

"No...no more! I've told you everything I know!" Zhang Yu shook his head repeatedly.
