It is possible that someone set the yellow robe randomly, or even set the fire deliberately, just to set the yellow robe free.
It was obviously aimed at the Ling family and Lingzhou.
At this critical moment, the timing is very delicate.
Chu Xingchen made some arrangements to investigate and find out the culprit behind the scenes, so as to avoid the Ling family and Lingzhou being criticized.
This investigation lasted two days. Miraculously, evidence of the Ling family's innocence was found, but a lot of evidence proving their double-mindedness was also presented to the door.
Chu Xingchen looked at the compiled evidence with an expressionless face, unable to see anything.
At the same time, Ling Zhou and Lieutenant General Guan and other soldiers discussed the strategic layout. After they left, he closed his eyes and reviewed the situation and found that there was no problem, so he relaxed.
Bao Jian said the bath water was boiled.
Lingzhou hadn't washed himself for several days, so he went to wash it immediately after hearing about it.
"You go on your own and don't worry about me."
The golden gun and sword were not polite either. They bowed and went away to collect them.
Lingzhou leaned against the tub, taking a rare break. While he was taking a nap, after the patrol passed by, a soldier suddenly entered the main tent silently and suddenly spoke from behind the screen.
"General Ling, your Ling family is going to be doomed."
Lingzhou pressed the dart in his hand and looked at the figure behind the screen with a half-smile.
"Don't you know that the previous waves of people who came to Wu Guo's lobbyist have all died?"
The Empress of Wu State saw that something was not right, so she came to Lingzhou less often in the past two days. She did a lot of estrangement and even used a beauty trap.
It's a pity that Lingzhou was indifferent, and at this moment he just felt speechless.
The soldier's voice was spooky, "I'm here to send you news this time. The evidence of your collusion with Qi has been presented to the Empress of Dachu."
"Even the yellow robe hidden in the Ling family has been discovered. The Ling family's disobedience has been made public. Do you think your Ling family still has a future?"
"Everyone now knows that you have no intention of winning when you attack the Kingdom of Wu. The situation on this battlefield is complicated. If you fail to meet their expectations as quickly as possible, your Ling family will become more and more at the forefront of the storm."
Ling Zhou's face darkened, "This is just a trick of yours. The Ling family will encounter similar things every time there is a war. Do you think I will be afraid?"
"It has been said for a long time that the Ling family's great achievements will shock the Lord." Xiao Bing retorted, "Just because you are not afraid, does not mean that the Queen of Da Chu is not afraid."
"Of course she won't be afraid. You want to sow discord with just a few words. It's too simple to think. Our Queen will never let you succeed. You can wait and see. It's a pity that you can't wait for that day."
Xiao Bing was silent for a moment, "Yes, the Queen of Chu may trust you this time and not deal with it, but what happens next?"
"She will trust you this time. After all, Dachu needs your Ling family now. The Queen cannot touch you, but the thorn has been laid. When Dachu no longer needs you, you will die!"
Xiao Bing sneered, "Isn't it rare that the royal family kills donkeys to get rid of their troubles? The Yan family of the recent Qi State is a replica of your Ling family."
Lingzhou suddenly heard about the Yan family and couldn't help being stunned.
He couldn't help but think of Yan Jin, and he didn't know whether the soldier knew something or just mentioned it casually.
He was silent, and the soldiers kept fighting, "Look at their fate. It's better for the Ling family to make plans early. With your Ling family's prestige and status, plus the soldiers in your hands, why do you have to rely on others?"
Lingzhou snorted, "You said it nicely."
Xiao Bing was moved by Ling Zhou, and became more and more excited the more he talked about it.
"I'm telling the truth, and I'm also thinking about you. Instead of being framed, frightened, fighting to the death and watching the queen eat, the Ling family might as well unite with the Wu State, rebel against Chu, and become the emperor themselves...well...
.”
When it comes to being an emperor, his eyes are astonishingly bright.
But the next second, he groaned.
He looked down at his chest blankly and saw a sword passing through it.
He looked up in disbelief, "You..."
Lingzhou withdrew the long sword, and the soldier suddenly fell down. In the last second of his life, he only saw Lingzhou walking out from behind the screen with his clothes on and an expressionless face.
Ling Zhou killed the soldier who was causing dissension with one blow of his sword.
After confirming that he is dead, let someone come in and clean up.
The soldiers below lowered their heads to clean up. Although they were a little curious, they didn't ask anything.
Ling Zhou was usually very carefree, but he was very strict in running the army, and no one in the army dared to act arrogantly.
The tent quickly returned to its original state, but Lingzhou's mood was still affected.
The King of Zhenbei holds military power and has indeed gone through a lot of ups and downs. He has experienced many impeachments and slanders, but there are not many like this.
Before the news came to Da Chu, Xiao Bing couldn't wait to tell him the news.
What he wants is his confusion.
His heart was indeed confused.
He was silent for a moment and then wrote a military report to Chu Xingchen.
In addition to telling the latest situation and his plans, he also wrote a separate letter to Chu Xingchen.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Ling Zhou showed up on time the next day and continued to attack according to the plan.
Why did he attack Wu State with no intention of winning, but he just wanted to win for everyone to see!
Feng'an City.
Everyone has concerns about this matter.
Chu Xingchen knew clearly that there would be no benefit in prolonging the matter. On the fourth day, he made the final decision as quickly as possible on the Ling family's so-called collusion with Qi State to rebel.
"The so-called evidence is nothing but nonsense. It was all calculated and delivered to me. All you want is for me to be suspicious and recall King Zhenbei and General Ling."
"Based on the clues, this incident is most likely a conspiracy of the Queen of Wu and a drama of Wu's self-rescue."
As soon as Chu Xingchen finished speaking, some ministers immediately objected, saying that he should not be careless because if it was true, it would endanger the court.
Chu Xingchen said forcefully, "No need to say more, no matter how much evidence the people behind it throw out, I will not believe it or be fooled."
Chu Xingchen's sharp gaze swept over the ministers, "Even if there is someone in the court who colludes with Wu Guo or someone else, it is definitely not Lingzhou."
"I believe in General Ling and the Ling family."
"General Ling is the one I trust and value most. He will inevitably be slandered and framed by others."
"Not to mention a few forged letters of collusion, Huang Pao has been framed. No matter how much evidence is forged, it will not shake my trust."
"No need to say anything else."
Lingzhou, who was far away in the Kingdom of Wu, first received the news from the Ling family, which was exactly the same as what the soldier said.
Lingzhou, who had just returned from the battle, felt his blood run cold after reading the letter.
Although I thought that His Majesty would definitely believe him and the Ling family, anxiety was unavoidable.
At one moment I thought that His Majesty would definitely trust him, at the other moment I was worried, and even couldn't help but think of the female bandit.
Will he also end up like that and become a bandit?
Or maybe he is not even qualified to be a bandit, and can only be snatched away to become the husband of the village and never see the light of day again?
"No, it won't. If that's the case, even if I risk my life, I will ask questions and find out everything. Even if I risk my life, I will prove my innocence to Your Majesty."
Ling Zhou was anxious for three days, and finally received flying pigeon messages from the Ling family and Chu Xingchen.
