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

General Xiao's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Liangcheng was attacked at night, and the Northern Wei Dynasty, which had been silent all the time, suddenly launched an attack. Is there any connection between the two?

Nian Susu's eyes suddenly widened and became sparkling. "It was His Highness!" She said in surprise, "It was His Highness who attacked Liangcheng at night!"

General Xiao's tense expression gradually relaxed, and he soon revealed a relaxed smile. If it weren't for Nian Susu's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that there were 10,000 elite soldiers of Liang Wu lying in ambush outside Liangcheng, and he would have thought it was another trick of the Northern Wei.

"It must be A Yu!" General Xiao's eyes were firm and proud, "I didn't expect that Qin Zehai would lose 4,000 men with just one move. This is a good sign!"

Nian Susu didn't know what she was thinking about. Her eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. She sighed, "We are all from the same country, but because of different positions, we kill each other. It's so sad."

"Not necessarily." General Xiao thought.

What does the “not necessarily” mean when the Nian Su Su is unknown?

General Xiao explained: "They don't necessarily know that they are working for the rebels."

Nian Susu suddenly realized that she had preconceived ideas and always thought that the bad guys were in the same camp, but she forgot that when Liuli's 50,000 soldiers followed Qin Zehai, they were flying the flag of supporting Xiao Jianting, and now they are still trapped in Liangcheng.

If Xiao Jianting knew about this, he would definitely feel very guilty.

In this case, as long as the soldiers are told about Qin Zehai's plan, they will definitely not defend the city for him anymore.

General Xiao left in a hurry, and Nian Susu returned to Jixin Hall thoughtfully.

-

Qin Zehai took off his outer robe and blew out the brightest lamp in the room, leaving only a dim yellow candle on the bedside.

He had nightmares every day these days, and waking up in darkness would make him even more panicked, so he was used to leaving a light on.

Qin Zehai sat on the bed, pressed his temples, and reached behind him to lift the quilt and lie down. However, what he grabbed was not a soft quilt, but a cold touch like holding a jade, but he could feel that it was warm, just like... a human wrist...

The moment this thought popped into his mind, Qin Zehai was so frightened that his soul left his body and his legs went weak.

In Yuhang Town, Luo Yuanxiang's bloody body lay on the bed in his bedroom. This scene is still fresh in his memory.

Qin Zehai was afraid that he might touch someone else's corpse.

"what--"

Following a scream, Qin Zehai rolled and crawled, and jumped three meters away to the door. He leaned against the door and stared at the direction of the bed in panic.

The raised shape of the quilt vaguely reveals the shape of a person.

Under his frightened eyes, the person under the quilt sat up.

The man had a sinister smile on his face. The dim yellow candlelight reflected on his pale face, giving it a strange color.

"Prince Ren, long time no see." Dongfang Xuying half leaned on the bed, with one knee bent, looking at Qin Zehai as if he was looking at a prey.

Qin Zehai breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried.

How could Dongfang Xuying be in Liangcheng? And sneaked into his bedroom without anyone noticing?

"Major...Major General, why are you here?" Qin Zehai wiped the sweat from his face and stood up awkwardly, leaning against the door.

Dongfang Xuying stood up and slowly approached Qin Zehai.

Qin Zehai hadn't recovered yet, and he backed away while swallowing his saliva, "Major General..."

He had a bad feeling.

Dongfang Xuying pushed him back to the stool, and he bent his legs and sat down.

"Prince Ren, are you scared when you see me?"

"Haha...if you're not guilty of something, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Zehai knew very well that the Northern Wei had been ambushed in Qingshan City, and they would definitely suspect him.

Originally he was worried about how to explain to Dongfang Xuying, but Qin Junyu led his men to besiege Liangcheng, which just solved his urgent problem.

"Major General, please listen to my explanation!" Qin Zehai said sincerely.

Dongfang Xuying dragged a stool and sat in front of him, crossing his legs like an interrogator, "Come, I want to hear your explanation!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you say that the remaining 50,000 soldiers of Liuli are all in your hands? Didn't you say that if you break through Yanmen Pass, you can go straight to Shengjing!"

Dongfang Xuying became more and more angry as she spoke. She grabbed the teapot beside her and smashed it against the door, which fell to the ground. "My people have been blocked outside Qingshan City for seven or eight days!"

Qin Zehai trembled with fear. If he didn't want to use them for his own benefit, he would have ordered people to arrest this ignorant major general and put him in the dungeon.

Thinking of his unfinished plan, he forced himself not to lose his temper.

Qin Zehai raised a flattering smile: "Major General, calm down. It's not just you. I was also shocked when I heard that there were ambushes in Qingshan City! I almost sent troops to support you!"

Dongfang Xuying laughed sarcastically. He didn't believe a word of what he said.

Qin Zehai felt guilty, so he continued, "Just when I counted the number of people and was about to leave the city, I heard a spy report that there were unusual movements outside Liangcheng. I was afraid that there were ambushes like in Qingshan City, so I could only wait and see."

Dongfang Xuying's face gradually became gloomy. The current situation was just as Qin Zehai had guessed. There were indeed ambushes outside Liangcheng, and Liangcheng had now been surrounded.

He sneaked in and wanted to question Qin Zehai about Qingshan City, but he didn't expect that he couldn't go back now. This made him even more angry. He simply sneaked into Qin Zehai's residence and gave him a "surprise".

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Qin Zehai knew that there was no need to say more, so he led the topic directly to the key point: "Major General, it's not that I deceived you, but that dog emperor fooled all of us!"

He now sees the situation very clearly.

"The emperor probably knew about our plan a long time ago and deliberately asked me to lead the troops to support us. He then turned around and borrowed troops from neighboring countries. One wave intercepted the Northern Wei in Qingshan City, and the other wave came to attack Liangcheng. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone!" Qin Zehai said in a loud voice.

Dongfang Xuying touched his chin and suddenly realized: "No wonder their fighting style is completely different from the people from Yanmen Pass. It turns out that they are foreign aids."

The soldiers of Liuli are accustomed to using swords, while most of the soldiers in other places use knives or guns. There are also great differences in the habits of using weapons, which can be clearly felt when they are in a head-on confrontation with Qingshan City.

Dongfang Xuying's resentful gaze fell back on Qin Zehai, and she asked a question that made Qin Zehai's hair stand on end: "How did our plan get leaked?"

Qin Zehai panted heavily, his mind was turning over and over, and he still couldn't figure out how the emperor found out about his cooperation with the Northern Wei Dynasty? And when did he find out?

Suddenly, he thought of a person——Nian Qiaoyue.

In the deployment of this plan, only Nian Qiaoyue was an accident, and she had contact with Nian Susu before, so maybe the two of them had already reached some kind of cooperation.
