Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

Chapter 354 Estrangement

Lingchi, just these two words are enough to make people's hair stand on end.

Jiang Yue thought to herself, she knew that the Emperor would not let them die so easily.

"Zhao Chongxiu, if you kill us, forget about the other rebels!" The two Beiyan men still wanted to fight for themselves.

"If you kill us, you won't know anything!"

At the same time, Wen Liang immediately ordered the jailer beside him to drag the two men from Beiyan out of the prison.

He then ordered other jailers to prepare the rack.

Regardless of whether Zhao Chongxiu believed or not the two Beiyan people's shouting words at this moment, he still said:

"Other rebels? Who are they? I'll tell you so you can die more comfortably!"

The two Beiyan people now truly felt afraid.

One of them struggled to free himself from his fat body.

"Let us go and we'll tell!"

Jiang Yue watched quietly. The two of them were still having wild thoughts until now.

Seeing His Majesty's expression change, Wen Liang looked at the two jailers anxiously.

"Hurry up and drag him away, don't pollute His Majesty's eyes anymore."

"Speak, let's all speak!" another Beiyan man said urgently.

His attitude was no longer as domineering as before. He looked at Jiang Yue and pointed his finger at her.

"It's her, it's her!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yue unconsciously clenched her hands into fists.

Another person echoed and pointed at Jiang Yue:

"Yes, it's her!"

After saying this, he sneered a few times.

"Now that we, Beiyan, have been badly defeated, we have no choice but to be controlled by Ling Yunxiao and be controlled by him!"

"Otherwise, why do you think we were able to easily enter Donglin despite the numerous checkpoints?"

"There are no eternal enemies on the battlefield."

"Ling Yunxiao allied with our Beiyan and secretly communicated with Xining. His goal was to raise an army and establish his own regime!"

"And she!" The Beiyan man pointed at Jiang Yue again.

"She is Ling Yunxiao's most loyal subordinate. She came to your Lindu Imperial City with the purpose of causing chaos in the court!"

"Ling Yunxiao is very ambitious. He wants to be the master of the world!"

With every word the Northern Yan man spoke, the air around him grew colder.

Hearing this, Wen Liang's heart beat faster.

Ling Yunxiao has made great military achievements abroad, and hundreds of thousands of troops at the border are under his command.

If he really sends troops to rebel, then... the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhao Chongzheng had already been half-sitting on the ground, thinking blankly about what the man from Northern Yan had said.

Then, he shook his head suddenly.

"No, the young general obviously knew nothing yesterday."

Moreover, if it weren’t for her, the two Beiyan men would probably not have been caught.

As for Jiang Yue, the expression on her face could hardly be maintained, and she could not control the dagger on her body.

She had never seen these two people before, nor had she ever had any contact with them, and it was impossible for them to know her. It was obvious that they were trying to frame her because she had just returned from the border.

As the people of Northern Yan said, the result is obvious.

It was a perfect combination. At least to her, she felt like she was really sent by the general to disrupt the court.

Her sharp eyes swept over the man from Northern Yan, and what she saw was a vicious and cruel face.

"General Ling is a loyal and courageous man. You cannot slander him!"

The Northern Yan man laughed sinisterly and said, "Young General, you may not admit it in front of your Majesty, but the facts are the facts, and everything can be verified!"

Zhao Chongxiu listened to the whole conversation. He was the only one present who did not show any change in his body. He just looked at the Beiyan man quietly and asked in a calm voice:

"According to what you said, General Ling sent you here?"

"That's true!" replied the man from Northern Yan.

Zhao Chongxiu asked again: "General Ling and my fourth brother have already colluded with each other?"

"Your Majesty Donglin is wise."

Zhao Chongzheng had not doubted Ling Yunxiao's intention at first, but after hearing this, he no longer had any doubts.

"Brother, everything this person said is false and cannot be trusted!"

He wanted to say more but was interrupted by Zhao Chongxiu's wave of his hand.

Then he asked the Northern Yan man,

"Oh? Tell me, how did General Ling cooperate with you?"

Zhao Chongxiu pursed his lips slightly, and the look in his eyes was calm without any ripples, but it made Jiang Yue tense all over.

No matter how calm she usually was, she couldn't remain calm at all at this moment.

She was about to speak again to excuse Ling Yunxiao, just like Zhao Chongzheng had just done, but Zhao Chongxiu waved his hand to stop her. She continued to listen to the Northern Yan man say:

"Northern Yan was badly defeated and had no choice but to surrender."

Zhao Chongxiu: "As far as I know, you had already arrived at our capital Donglin before the fierce battle in Liangzhou. Could it be that Ling Yunxiao had already harbored the intention of rebellion before the decisive battle in Liangzhou?"

After saying this, the man from Beiyan turned his eyes slightly and thought about what to say.

Zhao Chongzheng: "Go on."

"... Ling Yunxiao did not report the truth. Liangzhou City was conquered by him as early as the beginning of this year. At that time, he had already thought of rebellion. After the beginning of the year, he has been trying to win over our Beiyan and Xining. Now, Xining is completely devoted to Ling Yunxiao!"

"Great, that's a good idea." Zhao Chongxiu laughed out loud.

His smile made the two men feel relieved.

If they could take down one, it would be a win. They in Beiyan hated Ling Yunxiao to the core and had long wanted to get rid of him.

Jiang Yue tried her best to calm herself down, "Your Majesty..."

"Shut up." Zhao Chongxiu smiled, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

"Ling Yunxiao colluded with Beiyan and Xining, and collaborated with the enemy and committed treason?"

"That's true." The man from Northern Yan affirmed.

"Your Majesty, that is absolutely not the case!" Jiang Yue's heart was pounding so hard that she almost couldn't keep her balance.

However, he was stopped by Zhao Chongxiu again.

"shut up."

Then, Zhao Chongxiu continued with a smile: "Ling Yunxiao's achievements are greater than his master's, and he has established his own army?"

"Yes."

"But who do you think you are!" Zhao Chongxiu's expression did not change, but his tone did.

Doesn’t he know whether Ling Yunxiao has reported the military intelligence?

At the beginning, Li Zhao explained the matter very clearly.

What do you mean Ling Yunxiao is colluding with Beiyan and Xining? Is he that capable?

Not to mention that, he is not a three-year-old child, how could he not know that cooperating with Beiyan would be humiliating himself?

Moreover, these two people from Northern Yan probably don’t know that the princess of Xining is already halfway to Donglin.

Since Xining is cooperating with Ling Yunxiao, why send hostages?

Do you really think that he, the king of a country, is also a three-year-old child?

Zhao Chongxiu laughed in anger.

"Ling Yunxiao has been loyal since the war and rescued Donglin from danger!"
