After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

One is Prince Ren and the other is his colleague, how could he not recognize them.

But... he couldn't figure out why he saw Qin Zehai in the dungeon, and this position seemed to be him from Qin Zehai Customs.

Xiao Jianting was completely stunned.

"Prince Ren, you..." He hesitated to speak.

Qin Zehai gave a smug smile, revealing his sinister and cunning appearance.

Xiao Jianting felt something was wrong.

Qin Zehai ordered Liu Luyan to guard the door.

Xiao Jianting turned around to face the door, and Qin Zehai walked into the cell while fanning his nose.

"General of the Cavalry, you are nothing special. You still fell into my hands. Hahahaha... Immortal God of War, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Prince Ren, what do you mean?" Xiao Jianting couldn't bear it anymore when he saw Qin Zehai's despicable face. "Why are you locking me up here? Where is this? Shengjing? Where is the Northern Wei army? Did we win?" He was a little impatient, and uneasy emotions surged in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"You can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking about what's happening outside." Qin Zehai squatted down, his eyes level with his own, unable to hide his sarcasm, "Xiao Jianting, I'll be frank with you, the situation outside is going to change soon!"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Jianting asked again. He clenched his fists and resisted the urge to hit someone.

Qin Zehai: "What it means is that the throne will soon be mine, hahahaha... You have fought for most of your life, and the country you have protected will soon be mine!"

He was very proud and eager to show off his "achievements". Humiliating and suppressing Xiao Jianting made him feel superior.

Qin Zehai has been inferior to his brothers in every way since he was a child. He is not as good as the elders and not as good as the younger ones, so he was always ignored by the previous emperor. Even his name was mentioned just to serve as a negative example.

Qin Zehai grew up in such an environment, and his psychology was twisted. A young and promising young man like Xiao Jianting, a young general with the title of "Immortal God of War", now had his life and death controlled by him. This feeling was wonderful.

He even felt a little reluctant to kill Xiao Jianting. He wanted to keep him around to humiliate and suppress him every day, to wear down his prestige and make him become like a rat in a dungeon. Just thinking about it made him feel happy.

Xiao Jianting's eyes gradually became sharp. No matter how confused he was, he now understood. Qin Zehai had already started to plot a rebellion. It was not clear whether he was going to lead an army to attack the palace or collude with the Northern Wei people.

Xiao Jianting suppressed his anger and prepared to ask some questions.

"Ha..." He sneered, not taking it seriously, "You're just dreaming!"

"The Emperor has not sent troops to support Yanmen Pass, but there are still 50,000 troops. If you rebel, you will not be able to get out of Xizhimen!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xiao Jianting was so excited that the breath got stuck in his throat and choked himself, and he coughed until his face turned red.

Qin Zehai stood up and looked down at him. "Fifty thousand troops?" He seemed to have heard a huge joke. "Do you know where this is?"

"Liangcheng! The 50,000 elite soldiers he mentioned are now in my hands! Wait for the Northern Wei people to attack Shengjing and kill the emperor and Qin Junyu! Then I will lead my men to surround Shengjing and kill all the Northern Wei people!"

"When the time comes, I will be the hero of Liuli! I will be the emperor of Liuli!" Qin Zehai opened his arms and shouted at the thick stone wall above. His voice echoed in the almost completely enclosed dungeon.

The goal was achieved, but Xiao Jianting's head was buzzing from the shock.

He picked his ears, and in order not to arouse Qin Zehai's suspicion, he pretended to be very angry and stood up to hit him.

Due to a serious leg injury and multiple injuries on his body, his punching speed became much slower and his body became heavy. Even Qin Zehai, who didn't know martial arts, could dodge them easily.

The punch missed, and inertia carried Xiao Jianting forward, where he landed face first and ate a mouthful of hay.

Qin Zehai laughed loudly.

Xiao Jianting thought that he had found out about Qin Zehai's plan. The only way he could do was to pass the news on so that the emperor and Qin Junyu could take precautions early and Qin Zehai's efforts would be in vain.

But he never expected that Qin Zehai had already wanted to kill him and wanted to take his life on the spot.

Qin Zehai smiled sinisterly, took out a dagger from his boots, and pressed forward step by step. Xiao Jianting retreated until his back touched the cold stone wall, with nowhere to retreat.

He stared at the sharp dagger as it slowly approached him.

He was not afraid of facing death, but he was unwilling to die at the hands of Qin Zehai in such a miserable way.

In his current state, he could only fight with Qin Zehai for a dozen rounds at most. Once Qin Zehai called for help, he would still die. It would be better for him to die with dignity.

Xiao Jianting closed his eyes resignedly, waiting for death to come.

Qin Zehai's ferocious face disappeared, and what he saw was his entire life flashing quickly before his eyes. If you ask him if he has any regrets, the answer is yes.

First, they failed to defend Yanmen Pass, allowing the Northern Wei Dynasty to open the door to occupy Liuli.

Secondly, once he fell into Qin Zehai's hands, even though they knew that he was collaborating with the enemy and rebelling, they could not spread the news.

Third, it is about Li Yaoyuan. After all, he spent his whole life in the military, and he felt that he was worthy of his monarch and the people. The only person he felt sorry for was Li Yaoyuan, who "died" because of him.

A tear rolled down Xiao Jianting's eye.

"Wait!" A startled shout pierced the darkness.

Xiao Jianting suddenly opened his eyes and saw the tip of the knife right in front of him.

Qin Zehai turned his head and looked at the door of the cell.

Liu Luyan was staring at the two of them in astonishment, feeling horrified and even more confused.

"What's the matter?" Qin Zehai put away the dagger as if nothing had happened, as if he was not the one who wanted to kill someone just now.

Liu Luyan didn't know Qin Junyu's plan. In Liu Luyan's eyes, Xiao Jianting was a great hero who had made great contributions to protecting the country. In front of him, Qin Zehai would be more restrained.

It would be bad if he became suspicious and started fanning the flames to disrupt the morale of the army. After all, he had no talent for leading a military force, and there was only one deputy general, Liu Luyan. If a real war broke out, it was hard to tell whose orders the soldiers would obey.

Liu Luyan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the spies have brought us new information."

Qin Zehai responded and hid the dagger back into his sleeve. He couldn't kill Xiao Jianting today, so he could only look for another opportunity another day.

He walked out of the cell, and when he passed by Liu Luyan, Liu Luyan suddenly called him, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zehai asked.

I thought he would ask me why I swung my knife at Xiao Jianting, but what he asked was: "My Lord, Master Xiao cannot be killed."

Qin Junyu said "Oh?" and asked, "What do you mean?"

He was curious about what Liu Luyan could say about this matter since he didn't know that Liu Luyan was going to rebel, nor did he know that he had joined forces with the Northern Wei people.

Liu Luyan made a very clear analysis: "Your Majesty, Master Xiao failed to defend Yanmen Pass, which was indeed a dereliction of duty, but it does not deserve death!"
