I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Chang Baicao hesitated for a moment and said, "All the poison in my body combined can only kill a hundred people."

"That's not enough."

It's really not enough.

Since Nanliang dared to attack, it means they have a certain degree of confidence in winning.

Given the current situation, they would definitely mobilize half of the country's military forces, capture Jiangcheng, and then march northward to attack the capital.

If there is really someone colluding with them, then the journey will be very smooth.

By then, Beijing will have realized what is happening and will be able to deal with it without any haste.

In addition, if Feng Junxiao died in this battle, they might be able to fight their way into the capital, cooperate with the people behind the scenes, and have no obstacles along the way.

Even if someone is lucky enough to survive and wants to transmit this news to Beijing, they will be intercepted halfway.

So, she suddenly understood why her journey had been smooth sailing, with only a few spies appearing...

Perhaps, this is also a game they are playing.

Does Feng Junxiao know?

Wen Qingzhi looked at Feng Yunxiao again, and then urged Zhang Ye to take Chunyu and the others back to Beijing by a detour.

If all this was really planned, then there must be an ambush on the way back to Beijing.

"But……"

Zhang Ye also looked at Feng Junxiao, but the other party didn't say anything.

Chunyu was anxious, "Miss, I won't leave. Wherever you are, I will be there!"

She was anxious and grabbed Wen Qingzhi's hand.

"You have to go back and tell the people in the mansion about the news here. Chunyu, I believe you."

Wen Qingzhi raised her hand and stroked her tender cheek, saying, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

"You have a heavy burden on your shoulders when you return this time. You must take good care of my sister-in-law and Xiao Shitou, and don't let them suffer any injustice."

Wen Qingzhi said seriously, "If I'm trapped here, I'm afraid someone in the capital will attack the Wen family. If you return safely, it will prove that I'm fine."

"As long as they don't have evidence that anything happened to me, they won't dare to act rashly."

"Also, Zhang Ye..."

She glanced at Feng Yunxiao, and seeing that he didn't make any move, she said to Zhang Ye, "Go back and find reinforcements. If Nanliang is determined to attack, the people we have, plus the food we brought this time, will only last for more than a month."

In fact, half a month should be the limit.

The reason she said this was to give Zhang Ye hope.

How could Zhang Ye not understand?

They had already sent a letter back by carrier pigeon last night, but they didn't know whether their people were able to receive it.

"Yes."

Zhang Ye responded and prepared to take Chunyu away.

"Zhaodi and Pandi should go back together."

Wen Qingzhi said: "If I can go back, I will give you a new name."

Zhaodi and Pandi understood what she meant and burst into tears.

That night, under the cover of darkness, Zhang Ye drove a carriage and took the three people away, with Han Yan also accompanying him.

He also needs to tell Xiao Yi about some things here.

Before they left, Wen Qingzhi went into [Peony Evil] and took out something for Chunyu, telling her how to use it in case of emergency.

That night, Feng Yunxiao called Jiang Yufei to meet Wen Qingzhi.

Jiang Yufei followed Feng Yunxiao into Wen Qingzhi's tent. He stared at Wen Qingzhi for a moment, then knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Miss Wen."

Jiang Yufei is already the lord of a city, so logically he doesn't need to pay homage to Wen Qingzhi.

"you……"

"Back then, I served under Marquis Wen as the left vanguard. Although I didn't participate in that battle, I heard about the Marquis's plans and some of the events that took place."

It was just a few ordinary words, but they made Jiang Yufei's eyes fill with tears.

He had known that Marquis Wen still had a daughter alive, and had always wanted to visit her when he had the chance, but since he came to Jiangcheng, he had been trapped here and had never left.

"What happened then? My father had countless elite soldiers and generals under his command, so why did he suddenly suffer a defeat? Even if he was defeated, why were they killed without a complete body?"

When Jiang Yufei heard this, he actually knelt on the ground. He choked up and said, "The Marquis has been plotted against!"

"We were sure to win that battle! We had already figured out their strength after the two previous encounters."

"But for some reason, the Marquis suddenly called me into his tent that night and told me to leave the camp."

He looked excited. "I refused at that time, but the Marquis told me that if I didn't agree, he would expel me from the army..."

"Why did my father let you leave?"

Jiang Yufei's eyes dimmed and he said, "The Marquis only said that they would not live long, and he asked me to withdraw in order to protect the remaining brothers! But, but I feel ashamed of the Marquis's trust, I failed to protect them..."

Jiang Yufei's words were so confusing that Wen Qingzhi couldn't understand what he meant for a moment. She then asked, "Just tell me the point. What exactly happened at that time?"

"At that time, the Marquis discovered the spy, and with the war imminent, he originally planned to deal with it quietly, but he discovered that there were many people involved."

"At the time, the war was imminent, and there was no time to investigate the specific masterminds. The general said he had a premonition that those people would attack from behind, so he handed me some letters, and the next day he found a pretext to expel me from the barracks..."

"You are the left vanguard. It is not easy to drive the left vanguard out of the camp. If it is as simple as you say, how could you still be alive?"

After she finished speaking, Feng Junxiao laughed out loud, "I told you, she is not one of those delicate women in the capital. She is extremely suspicious."

Feng Junxiao had a relaxed smile on his face, which made Wen Qingzhi feel a little uncomfortable.

"Normally, no reason is sufficient to drive me away... Therefore, the reason I left the barracks is—"

He looked at Wen Qingzhi awkwardly, with a guilty look in his eyes, and said with his head down: "Yes, I bullied your mother..."

"What!?"

Wen Qingzhi thought this reason was a bit ridiculous.

She had thought of many hypotheses, but this was the only one she hadn't thought of.

She looked at Jiang Yufei in confusion, "Who came up with this idea?"

"…lady."

"..."

Her mother... is really special.

Yes.

In this case, not killing him is already a mercy.

"What is the content of the letter?"

She asked.

Jiang Yufei, "It's evidence of someone collaborating with the enemy, but in the end, the Marquis didn't tell me who it was, so I have no way to investigate."

"The Marquis only told me to keep these letters safe, as they might be useful someday."

"I thought the Marquis was worried that someone would erase the evidence during the chaos of war. I didn't expect... that the Marquis had a bad premonition and entrusted the item to me."

When he said this, he, a seven-foot-tall man, burst into tears.

He wiped his tears and said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would never have left... Even if the Marquis wanted my life, I would not leave!"

"You're on the right track."

Wen Qingzhi asked, "Do you still have those letters?"

Jiang Yufei looked up in surprise, "They're all kept."

"Leave it to me, and you can pretend you don't know about it."

When my father asked Jiang Yufei to leave with the letter, he must have known that they would never come back.

Jiang Yufei looked bewildered until Feng Yunxiao reminded him, then he took the letter and handed it to Wen Qingzhi.

Wen Qingzhi did not check it at that time, but put it away and prepared to send it into [Peony Evil] for safekeeping.

"That is to say, you don't know what happened back then, right?"

Wen Qingzhi asked.

"Yes... I only know that there's an internal thief, and the Marquis can't solve it for the time being."

"I've read those letters. They're unsigned, and there are no special markings. At first, I thought the Marquis was making a big deal out of nothing. It wasn't until shortly after I returned that I heard the news of his defeat and... the near annihilation of his entire army."

"I do not believe."

Jiang Yufei said: "The Marquis is brave and good at fighting. Under the circumstances at that time, we could not lose. We-"

"But they lost this battle, which was impossible to lose."

Wen Qingzhi interrupted him and said, "Not only did we lose in vain, but we also lost our lives. Not only did we lose our lives, but we also killed tens of thousands of our own soldiers, who were buried with us on the frontier."

Wen Qingzhi's cold expression made Jiang Yufei dissatisfied.

"My Lord, you are innocent! Someone is framing you, and that's why it happened!"

"so what?"

Wen Qingzhi didn't care. "People only care about the results. As for whether my parents were framed and killed, does it matter?"
