The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Wu Di completed everything very quickly.

He first wrote a letter to Chu Xiuyao to persuade him to surrender, but Chu Xiuyao wrote back a scolding letter. Wu Di just laughed it off. His original purpose was to get this reply letter.

Lin Haifu, the deputy general of the Langya Army, whose father, Lin Xiuxian, is a close friend of Li Yian, the Marquis of Guoan, and Li Yian's legitimate daughter is the Princess of Jingyuan. Therefore, Lin Haifu is the secret line planted by King Jingyuan in the Langya Army, and is also the most important part of Wu Di's plan this time.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Xiuyao were not on guard against their own people at all, so Lin Haifu easily poisoned them both. However, they did not poison them at the same time. Xiao Mubei was poisoned first, and the poison was very strong. Although it would not be directly fatal, it caused him to lose sensation in his legs, and he had to return to Beijing for treatment immediately.

The day before returning, Wu Di made an appointment with Chu Xiuyao to meet at the entrance of a valley outside the city, saying that he had an important matter to discuss, which concerned the life of King Dingbei, and asked him to come alone.

Chu Xiuyao went to the appointment alone. Wu Di claimed that if Chu Xiuyao surrendered, he would give him the antidote and save King Dingbei. Otherwise, he would use all means to kill Xiao Mubei.

Chu Xiuyao rejected Wu Di again. He said, "If the antidote was obtained in exchange for his betrayal, King Dingbei would definitely not take it, because this antidote is more poisonous than poison. He knows which is more important, the life of one person or the lives of the people of a country."

Wu Di chuckled at the time and said, "You have guts, but I don't know if you will still be alive to regret your choice today when my Nan Di cavalry crushes Dasui."

There was no point in talking to each other, so Chu Xiu Yao ignored Wu Di and turned to leave. Wu Di did not try to keep him, but just looked at Chu Xiu Yao's back with a sneer.

Not far away, after Chu Xiuyao walked away, several soldiers from the Langya Army walked out of the woods, led by Lin Haifu.

Several people came out to bathe. There was a mountain spring nearby. Lin Haifu looked at the direction where Chu Xiuyao left and said in surprise: "Am I seeing right? Isn't the person who just met the general the regent of Nandi?"

Someone immediately agreed, "Yes, it's the regent of Nandi. I saw him in the war before."

"Why would the general meet privately with the enemy leader?"

"I don't know, but the general is an upright person, so he should be negotiating with the other party, right?"

"It's hard to say. I heard that Nandi sent a letter a few days ago, urging the general to surrender."

"The general is not betraying his country, is he?"

Lin Haifu pretended to reprimand him, "Don't talk nonsense, the general is not that kind of person."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance, so be careful recently and don't stand out and become cannon fodder."

Several people left after talking, and Lin Haifu was the last one to come. He slowly nodded towards the dark woods behind.

On the second day, Chu Xiuyao arranged for his two sons to lead the team to escort Xiao Mubei back to the capital. Wu Di spread the rumor that he wanted to kill King Dingbei to show his power to Dasui, forcing Chu Xiuyao to send out his most elite team to protect Xiao Mubei. At the same time, Lin Haifu gave Chu Xiuyao a muscle softening powder.

The drug Softening Muscle Powder actually has no other effects except making people feel weak all over. But at this moment, the Emperor Wu Zixu of Nan Di led the Nan Di army of 200,000 to launch a massive attack.

Chu Xiuyao had to go into battle despite being ill. At first, his hands were too weak to lift his spear, so he could only command from the city wall. Because of this, some soldiers later said that he was letting the enemy off during the battle. In fact, the Loyal and Brave Marquis relied on his own experience and used formations to contain the enemy, while sending people to nearby states and counties for help.

What Chu Xiuyao didn't know was that Lin Haifu had passed all his arrangements to Wu Di, and all the people sent out for help were intercepted and killed. Chu Xiuyao only had 50,000 troops at the time, and he had to fight against an army of 200,000. He fought hard for three days and vowed to never retreat until the last man was left!

Although the emperor personally led the army of Nandi, it still suffered heavy losses. Only 80,000 of the 200,000 soldiers were left. Wu Zixu lost his temper. Although he killed Chu Xiuyao as he wished, he also sincerely admired him and secretly lamented why there was no such person in Nandi?

Although the city was destroyed, the soul is still there. The Nan Di army suffered heavy losses after conquering the city, so Wu Zixu had to order the army to recuperate. After that battle, Nan Di has not yet recovered.

Xiao Mubei, Chu Yuanxi, Chu Zhongxi and their group met the internal martial arts masters of Nankun Martial Arts School led by Yue Qingyun.

Xiao Mubei experienced this personally. Listening to Yue Qingyun at this moment, he seemed to have returned to that day again, to that night when blood flowed like a river, and Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi had always been by his side to protect him.

But they were not martial arts masters after all, they were generals on the battlefield. It was already difficult for them to fight against these internal martial arts masters, and they had to protect him, so they naturally could not take care of themselves. Everyone was seriously injured.

Baiyu Heimu was entangled by several people at the time and couldn't get away. The other soldiers were no match for these people. In the end, the Purple Guards arrived and rescued Xiao Mubei and Baiyu Heimu.

Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi asked the Purple Guards to take Xiao Mubei and the others away first, and the two of them stayed behind to cover their retreat. Xiao Mubei was already seriously injured at the time, and no one cared about the two brothers. Later they heard that he died of exhaustion in battle, but Xiao Mubei didn't see it with his own eyes, so he never told Chu Yunxi about it.

Yue Qingyun also admired the two brothers. "At that time, I led the team to deal with them. Although they were good at martial arts, their internal strength was not strong. After I found out, I found two people with the strongest internal strength to deal with them. They still persisted for a long time, until they finally fell to the ground because their internal strength was exhausted."

Chu Yunxi clenched her fists, her eyes turned red, and her body was shaking slightly. Although she had never lived with Chu Xiuyao, Chu Yuanxi, and Chu Zhongxi, she had the memories of the original owner, Chu Yunxi. Those fragments of father and daughter getting along, and scenes of brothers and sisters playing around, kept flooding into her mind at this moment, making it impossible for her to listen to these things calmly.

But she could only try her best to suppress her excitement and clenched her teeth so tightly that her whole body could not help but tremble. Suddenly, she felt warmth on her shoulder. She looked up with red eyes and looked into Xiao Mubei's deep eyes.

"It's all over." Xiao Mubei said softly, "We can definitely redress their grievances and let them rest in peace in their graves. Believe in yourself and believe in me."

"Okay, I just... need to relax for a moment." Chu Yunxi took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed herself down, and finally stopped shaking.

"Where are their bodies?" Chu Yunxi asked Yue Qingyun, because Xiao Mubei was seriously injured before, and after he woke up, the case had been made in the Mansion of Loyalty and Bravery, and the city had been lost. When the people of Dasui went to the battlefield at that time, the battlefield had already been cleared by the Nandi army, so they didn't know where the bodies of the three Chu family members were buried.
