As soon as the two arrived at the military camp, the Minister of War called several generals for questioning, and his threats were clearly stated.

The soldiers are full of pride, but what about their families who are powerless?

Household registration is at the Ministry of Household Registration, so it’s easy to check and the information is accurate!

The generals were all infuriated by the Minister of War's shamelessness and shouted, "The Emperor is seriously ill now. It is definitely not His Majesty's will to use the military token. We have the right to refuse to obey your orders!"

"presumptuous!"

The Minister of War was extremely angry and looked at the iron-willed generals in front of him, wishing he could chop off their heads.

He gritted his teeth and demanded, "The palace is controlled by treacherous officials, and the emperor and his concubines are under house arrest. As imperial guards, why are you not protecting him? What is your intention?"

If the number of people was not small and the reinforcements dispatched to other cities had not yet arrived, the Minister of War really did not want to argue with this group of uneducated and reckless men.

Their mouths are extremely irritating.

"You said the prince is a traitor? I think you are more of a traitor. You are fanning the flames here and abusing your power. You are the one who should be punished!"

"That's right. A mere Minister of War who can't lead troops in battle, yet he gets fooled around by others and still comes here to show off. What's wrong with that?"

"Go back as soon as possible. You're still threatening us with the extermination of our entire clan. Do you really want to presumptuously write an imperial edict on behalf of the Emperor?"

"..."

Su Xunyao was also very angry.

These warriors are really crazy. Why are they so protective of King Xuan?

She stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "You don't believe what the Minister says, but what about my grandfather? He was the Prime Minister of two dynasties and was dedicated to defending the country. Now he's so angry that he's bedridden and he's still thinking about the situation in the court every day. Doesn't this make you trust him at all?"

The soldiers looked hesitant.

It's not hard for others to say anything, as Prime Minister Su's loyalty and courage are evident to everyone, otherwise the Great Xia Kingdom wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today.

Of course, there were also those who objected, "If I remember correctly, Miss Su was engaged to the Second Prince a few days ago, and they're getting married soon. Was this Prime Minister Su's idea or the Second Prince's?"

Everyone looked at each other and calmed down again.

Some generals with extremely bad tempers directly ordered, "Sir, the Minister and Miss Su are falsely conveying the emperor's will and disrupting the army. They are truly despicable. Capture them immediately!"

"you dare!"

The Minister of War was so angry that he was fuming. He had not expected these ruffians to be so rampant.

They really dare!

A group of soldiers surrounded them, and their numbers completely overwhelmed the people they brought with them.

Su Xunyao's pupils shrank, and she angrily asked, "Is this also what the prince meant?"

No one answered, so I took action.

The scene was in complete chaos.

On the other side of the military camp, Xie Chengqian sat in his tent, oblivious to the noise outside.

He asked coldly, "Has Qi Wei's whereabouts not been found yet?"

Mu Yun looked troubled. "We searched the surrounding cities, but found no trace. They must have been hidden long ago."

"In Daxia, the Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom is like an uninhabited place. It seems that Concubine Shen has paved a lot of roads behind the scenes."

Xie Chengqian's voice was very faint.

Anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood.

At this time, someone outside the tent reported, "Your Highness, the Minister of War has been apprehended, but Su Xunyao took the opportunity to escape, and we are pursuing him."

A cold look flashed in Xie Chengqian's eyes. Su Xunyao actually escaped?

The Royal Guards' tents were heavily guarded, so she must have been prepared.

Xie Chengqian gave the order in a deep voice, "A dignified minister doesn't know how to conduct military operations. Let him learn the ropes in the barracks for a few days. As for Su Xunyao, we only need to track his whereabouts and don't need to capture him."

"Yes."

The general outside the tent responded and left.

Mu Yun looked at the prince with a somewhat inquiring gaze, without saying a word.

Xie Chengqian raised his cold eyes and said, "Speak."

Mu Yun hesitated and said, "Does the prince still have feelings for Miss Su? If Miss Song knew about this, the prince would not be simply driven away."

Miss Song's temper is not comparable to that of an ordinary woman, and the prince has been indulging her again and again. If this continues, the prince can only please Miss Song by being more self-disciplined.

Xie Chengqian looked at Mu Yun with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "If your eyesight doesn't work well, go practice."

He just wanted to see what Su Xunyao was up to, from obtaining the military token to escaping easily. He heard that she had often entered the palace to meet with Concubine Shen before.

How much does Su Xunyao know?

Mu Yun shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

At this time, another person came outside the military tent, it was Yan Wushuang.

A strange look flashed across Xie Chengqian's eyes. He ordered someone to come in and then sent Mu Yun out.

There were only two of them left in the account.

Xie Chengqian looked at the thin man in front of him and asked calmly, "Why are you coming to the military camp instead of staying at home to recuperate?"

"I want to lend a hand to the prince."

Yan Wushuang stood tall and straight with a determined look in his eyes.

Xie Chengqian did not respond, but just stared at him with his dark eyes, trying to read something from his face.

After a moment, he said, "Have you thought it through?"

"I have waited a long time for this opportunity to avenge my great vengeance, and I will never regret it."

Yan Wushuang's hoarse voice was full of hatred. The massacre of the entire Yan family was a nightmare that he dreamed of every night.

He risked his life and traveled to Cang State just to kill Qi Wei, but failed.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came to me again.

Xie Chengqian's eyes were deep, and he curled his lips and said, "You are well-informed. I have your spies under me."

"Your Highness is worrying too much. You and I are from the same sect and have had frequent interactions with the palace. I only received this news unexpectedly."

Yan Wushuang lowered his head and was humble.

There seemed to be more distance between the two than before.

Xie Chengqian knew very well that Yan Wushuang inherited the integrity of the Yan family. It was because of this that he was quite wary of her in both lives, fearing that Xi Wan would fall in love with Yan Wushuang.

"How are you injured?"

Yan Wushuang responded in a deep voice, "I'm fine now. I won't be a burden to His Majesty on the battlefield."

Xie Chengqian didn't refuse again.

He thought for a moment and added, "We still don't know Qi Wei's whereabouts. If you are really needed to go to war, you must prioritize saving your life, otherwise I will not use you."

There was a barely perceptible concern in the cold words, which startled Yan Wushuang.

"Yes."

Xie Chengqian called Mu Yun in and asked him to take care of Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang hesitated for a moment, then asked urgently, "By the way, how is Miss Song these days?"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly turned cold.

Xie Chengqian's tone was also chilling. "She has her own concerns. As a man from outside, it's not appropriate for you to mention her so frequently."

Yan Wushuang looked confused.

When did he mention it so frequently? Didn’t he just ask one question?

Xie Chengqian had a stern expression on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't want to help him solve his doubts. There was a cold warning in his eyes.

Yan Wushuang had no choice but to swallow his curiosity and turned around to leave.

But after taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Do you have to be so wary of me? Miss Song is such a good person, there are so many people who are attracted to her, why are you still so wary of me?"

Xie Chengqian's face was gloomy.

of course not!
