"General Chi, I know you feel uncomfortable and know your nature, but I still want to advise you not to do this. Just wait and see what happens and see how the emperor handles it." Zuo Zhe said.

, I actually felt a trace of regret in my heart, regretting that I shouldn't have said so much to Chi Zhongtian.

"General Zuo, as I said before, relax your mind. You must relax. There are some things that you have to shrink from not because of fear. Sometimes, fear is actually just something in your heart. If you ignore fear, fear will naturally not exist."

After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he asked Zuo Zhe to continue drinking.

Zuo Zhe heard what Chi Zhongtian said and knew that Chi Zhongtian had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

That night, the two of them drank very late, and it wasn't until halfway through that the two of them finished drinking.

"General Zuo, let me send someone to take you back." Chi Zhongtian said.

"No need, I can just go back by myself." Zuo Zhe stood up unsteadily and started to walk out.

It's not a shortcut back to Yuquan Valley from here. How can Chi Zhongtian trust him to go back by himself?

"Come here, prepare a carriage to take General Zuo back." Chi Zhongtian opened the door and ordered to the servant.

"Yes, General."

There is a carriage in Chi Zhongtian's general's mansion that has never been used, but it came in handy today.

Zuo Zhe did not insist, nodded and followed the servant out.

After sending Zuo Zhe away, Chi Zhongtian went back to his room to sleep. He was really tired after working for so long.

...

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter must not be made public, otherwise it will definitely damage the reputation of His Highness King Huan!"

At this hour, generally speaking, the palace would have been quiet, but today, it was not like that.

The lights in the imperial study were always bright, and more than a dozen eunuchs and maids were waiting outside. In the imperial study, three people were talking about something.

Sitting on the dragon chair in the center is naturally the emperor, and sitting below him on the left is Xu Zhenjiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and on the right is Yongmen Zidi, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The person who just spoke was none other than the Minister of War, Xu Zhenjiang.

He and Yongmen Zidi were summoned urgently by the emperor, and the purpose was to discuss the memorial presented by Chi Zhongtian, which was not considered a memorial.

"What does Xu Aiqing mean by this?" the emperor asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, let alone whether what Chi Zhongtian said is true, even if it is true, I think His Highness Prince Huan is right," Xu Zhenjiang said.

"Well, this kid is a little impatient. Maybe he has been under too much pressure due to consecutive defeats, so he is eager for success, which leads to tragedy. But fortunately, the main force is still alive. This is a blessing among misfortunes.

." The emperor said leisurely.

"What the emperor said is absolutely true. However, Your Majesty, Shenwu Long Yangwei suffered a big loss this time. I boldly suggest that we should not punish them?" Xu Zhenjiang said while quietly observing the emperor's face.

"This... Oh, by the way, Yongmen Aiqing, please tell me." The emperor suddenly said to Yongmen Zidi.

Yongmenzi Di quickly said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be investigated clearly, and there should be a public opinion on who is right and who is wrong."

"Ahem!" As soon as Yongmenzi Di finished speaking, Xu Zhenjiang suddenly started coughing.

"Check it out? How to find out it?" the emperor then asked.

"Your Majesty, what did General Chi and Shenwu Longyangwei's men do in Xiping City? What did His Highness King Huan do? In the battle of Liangzhou City, did General Huang Wu'an receive the military order from His Highness King Huan and pursue it?

Any unauthorized pursuit will be thoroughly investigated." Yongmenzi Di said loudly.

"Zidi, what you said is wrong, isn't it? How can His Highness lie?" Xu Zhenjiang said while winking at Yongmen Zidi.

But Yongmenzi Di seemed not to notice, and still said: "Your Majesty, we cannot let our soldiers suffer injustice."

"Ai Qing Yongmen, listening to the meaning of your words, you seem to have confirmed that what Chi Zhongtian said is true and what King Huan said is false?" the emperor asked, stroking his beard.

"This..." Yongmenzi Di was stunned for a moment before he realized that his words seemed a little too hasty.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Yongmen didn't mean that, right?" Xu Zhenjiang quickly defended Yongmen Zi Di.

In fact, Xu Zhenjiang did not want Yongmen Zhen to say such things. The reason for this was not only that Xu Zhenjiang was afraid that Yongmen Zidi would be angered by the emperor, but also because Xu Zhenjiang was Yongmen Zhen's early disciple, and naturally he was also

He was an important figure in the faction that supported King Huan, and what Chi Zhongtian had written was very detrimental to King Huan, so he suggested that the emperor keep quiet.

However, Yongmenzi Di only paused for a moment, and then immediately continued: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Xu said is not entirely true. I don't know the ins and outs of the matter now, so naturally I can't draw a conclusion. I just suggest that we investigate the matter clearly.

.”

"I understand what Yongmen Ai Qing means. It's a bit difficult to investigate this matter now. King Huan has not returned from the expedition. I'm afraid it's hard to believe it based on Chi Zhongtian's words alone." The emperor said.

"People from Shenwu Longyangwei can also testify." Yongmenzi Di quickly followed.

"No, they are Chi Zhongtian's subordinates. According to the laws of the day, their testimony is not that effective." The emperor said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Just listen to me. Let this matter end here. Just tell Chi Zhongtian and let him go back first. Isn't he very busy? Let him go and do it.

It's all about the world." Xu Zhenjiang quickly suggested.

"Well, what you're saying is that we can't find out clearly now. It's better to let Chi Zhongtian go about his own business first, and then ask again when King Huan comes back in the future." The emperor said this, obviously acquiescing to Xu.

Zhenjiang’s suggestion.

"emperor."

"My dear Yongmen, the war is going on in Xiping City, and Liangzhou City has not been recaptured yet. Let's do this. Tomorrow I will issue an order to have Zuo Zhe, the deputy general of Shenwu Longyangwei, take all the remaining Shenwu Longyangwei.

People, go to Xiping City." The emperor knew what Yongmenzi Di was going to say, so he quickly interrupted him.

"Ah? Are you going to let Shenwulong Yangwei's people go?" Yongmenzi Di asked in shock.

"Of course, the fighting power of Shenwu Longyangwei's people should not be underestimated. Previously, King Huan drove the people of Daxia back to Liangzhou City. Although he didn't say it, I guess that there must be a lot of people from Shenwu Longyangwei among them.

Great strength," the emperor said.
