"Your Majesty, we have found them all."

Xie Sui's guards came up with several large boxes, and then opened them in front of everyone. "Your Highness, these were dug up under an ancient tree ten miles outside the border."

When the box was opened, it was full of gold, silver, jewelry, and a letter.

"We also caught a few people, but they all committed suicide."

As he spoke, several corpses were brought up.

Xie Sui signaled with his eyes, and the guards immediately stepped forward and peeled off the arms of several corpses, all of which were covered with tattoos that only Liang people had.

Xie Sui read the contents of the letter and asked, "Chen Qin, do you have anything else to say?" A letter was thrown in front of Chen Yan. Zhou Yanzheng took a few steps forward, picked it up, and read the contents of the letter.

"I don't know these things. Why does Your Majesty use them to test me?"

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to quibble!" Zhou Yanzheng read the contents of the letter and spoke angrily.

The soldiers in the army who had originally spoken for Chen Qin now looked hesitant and did not dare to say anything more.

"Keep bringing it up." Xie Sui said.

Immediately afterwards, several people around Chen Qin were tied up, their faces full of fear. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Sui, "Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

When the soldiers in the army saw them, their faces were filled with horror.

"Didn't they die in battle?"

"That's right! All the lieutenants who followed the general at that time died in battle. How come they appear here now?!"

……

Chen Qin's face was filled with embarrassment and fear. Shouldn't he have eliminated them all? Why were they all here again?!

"You, you guys..."

"Your Highness, one of the reasons for this border defeat is that Chen Qin secretly communicated with the enemy country and did it on purpose!" The man kneeling on the ground confessed everything in every word.

They had been with Chen Qin for many years, but they didn't expect this to be the outcome.

In a word, Chen Qin's guilt was completely confirmed.

"Drag him away." Xie Sui waved his hand.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment! Please spare my life, Your Highness!" He kept shouting as he was dragged away.

As Chen Qin was dragged away, a dead silence fell over the army. No one had expected General Chen to do such a thing, and they all hated traitors to the enemy.

"When will General Xiao leave for Yuanzhou?" Xie Sui raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yan paused, "There's no commander in the army right now. I don't know what to do about this."

"General Xiao won't be needed for the next matter. It's better to return to Yuanzhou as soon as possible to meet the newly appointed prefect." Xie Sui reminded him, but his implication was to drive him away.

Xiao Yan didn't expect Xie Sui to be so disrespectful to him in front of everyone.

"Yes, I will set off tomorrow."

……

"Father, let's set off back to the capital tomorrow. There is no news about Master yet, but we should go back to the capital and wait for him." Yu Guiwan knew that his Master's whereabouts were always elusive, and going to look for him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"What about the military affairs?" Yu Wang frowned. Now that the army has lost its commander, how can he leave?

Yu Guiwan laughed twice, "Dad, His Majesty must have made arrangements long ago. Let's go back first. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet, and Mom is still waiting for us at home."

Yu Wang laughed heartily twice. Now that A Wan had grown up, he had his own ideas. "Okay, then let's go home." He also understood that the emperor must have sent a message asking him to return to the capital, otherwise A Wan would never dare to say such a thing.

You should know that leaving the military camp without permission is a serious crime.

"Why don't you resign from your official position after we get back?" Yu Guiwan held his hand and looked at him.

When Yu Wang heard this, he paused and showed hesitation. He understood what Ah Wan meant, but he had spent his whole life protecting his country and his family. Only with a country can there be a family. He should continue to fight on the battlefield while he still had the strength.

"Let me think about it."

Yu Wang still couldn't make up his mind.

"Okay, then I'll wait for father." Yu Guiwan did not mention that Yang Nian fell seriously ill when he learned the bad news, so as not to add pressure to his father.

Yu Guiwan really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the capital anymore. She just wanted to take her family away from the troubles. She lowered her eyes. Ask yourself, now that she is the Princess of Chen, can she really stay out of trouble?

*

The next day.

"Your Highness, I will not be traveling with you. I must return to the capital to see His Majesty first." Pei Jin bowed, then mounted his horse and rode away. So much had happened at the border this time, and he had to report immediately without wasting time.

Xie Sui and others were going to take a carriage back to the capital. After all, they had to consider Yu Yanlin's health, and they had to wait for news from Chu Yue while going back.

Xie Sui said, "Let's go too. I think the new commander will arrive at the border soon."

"it is good."

Yu Guiwan didn't ask any more questions. Although her relationship with Xie Sui was different from that of ordinary people, she didn't want to know Xie Sui's plan. Xie Sui also understood Yu Guiwan's concerns, so he didn't take the initiative to tell her.

There were two carriages. Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui got on one, and Yu Wang and Yu Yanlin got on the other.

After getting on the carriage, my tense heart for these days finally relaxed. Now I don’t know how my mother is doing in the capital.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law is safe in Prince Chen's Mansion, and no one will disturb her." Xie Sui looked at Yu Guiwan and understood what she was thinking, and comforted her.

Yu Guiwan nodded, but her eyes soon dimmed again.

She was worried that her mother might not be able to bear seeing her brother's current condition.

"Awan, once things are settled, let's leave the capital. What do you think?" Xie Sui looked at Yu Guiwan and said what he had always wanted to say, but he couldn't leave the capital now.

Yu Guiwan looked a little surprised, "Xie Sui, you..."

"But now, I can't leave the capital." Xie Sui lowered his eyes. He understood what A Wan wanted most.

Yu Guiwan actually didn't think about asking Xie Sui to make her a promise, nor did she think Xie Sui would make her such a promise.

She was stunned for a long while before she spoke: "Okay, I believe you." Yu Guiwan held Xie Sui's hand and spoke firmly.

Their carriage slowly drove out of the border and entered the official road.

……

The woman stood at the highest point, looking down. Suddenly, a woman in black appeared and knelt before her. "Master, His Royal Highness Prince Chen and his men have already left the border. What should we do next?"

"Ah."

She responded softly.

"In that case, we should set off."

"Tell Xiao Yan not to act rashly for the time being." The woman ordered. The more it was at this time, the less anxious they should be.

Xie Sui, this game of chess is not over yet.

The outcome is still undecided, and there is still time to turn everything around.

She raised her eyebrows and gave a determined smile.
