131 Confession(1/2)
Qin Xuan, who had just entered the camp, couldn't help but stop and could hardly look directly into the other party's eyes.
Who is this person?!
Qin Xuan immediately felt something was wrong. This was the tent of the King of Nanyang. Why should this stranger sit in the upper head?!
Qin Xuan glanced into the camp for a half circle, his eyes fell on the young man in purple in the wheelchair next to him, his pupils shrank, and he blurted out: "Brother, why are you here?!"
While speaking, Qin Xuan recalled that when he entered the military camp just now, the atmosphere in the camp was a bit strange, and there were many soldiers with faces around him, and his heart sank. The ominous premonition became even stronger, and the alarm bell was made.
Qin Yao in the wheelchair looked at Qin Xuan, two or three meters away, with his younger brother who was only three years apart and his younger brother who was the same as his father and mother.
His eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger.
They are indeed strangers.
When he was eleven years old, his father asked him to be the crown prince. For this reason, he went to the capital. After that, he stayed in the capital for a full seven years. Therefore, although he was the crown prince of Nanyang, he had neither the army nor the people in Nanyang.
He is also drifting away from his relatives.
In these seven years, he had never seen this younger brother. He only returned to Nanyang for the first time after hearing the news that his father was seriously ill in April... At that time, he was just worried about his father's illness, but he never thought that there would be these things that would come later!
Qin Yao's eyes flashed, his heart surging, but his face was very calm, and there was a little smile between his eyebrows.
"I, why shouldn't I be here?" Qin Yao asked back.
He said it calmly, and only he and Gu Jue knew the hardships over the past few months.
From Gu Jue rescued him back to the capital, until they secretly left the capital with the emperor on their backs.
Gu Jue took him to the north first, and transferred an elite marches from the north army, and then rushed to Nanyang again and launched a raid on the Nanyang military camp.
Gu Jue has always been thunderous in his military service. In just half a day, he took down the barracks with thunder and controlled Mu Lin, the veteran general in charge of military affairs in the Nanyang Army.
Mu Lin is a confidant of the King of Nanyang and the second-in-commander of the Nanyang Army.
The King of Nanyang was dead. Although the Princess of Nanyang was the second son Qin Xuan and asked for a title, the new King of Nanyang had not yet been established due to Gu Jue's interference, so the military affairs in the army were temporarily presided over by Mu Lin.
Mu Lin was sitting on the lower head on the left at this moment, looking back and forth at Gu Jue, Qin Yao and Qin Xuan with a complicated expression.
An hour ago, the camp was surrounded by a cavalry, and countless crossbows pointed at the soldiers in the camp.
Mu Lin originally wanted to fight to the death with the other party, but found that there was a familiar figure in the enemy-
Qin Yao, the prince of the Nanyang king who killed his father and fled.
Mu Lin was surprised and angrily accused Qin Yao of being unhuman and killing his father without filial piety. However, King Chen Gu Jue appeared with Qin Yao. He personally guaranteed Qin Yao, saying that he believed he did not kill his father, and even asked to call the second son Qin Xuan to ask.
Mu Lin thought about it over and over again and had no choice but to agree.
First of all, the situation is better than that of others.
King Chen should be in the capital, but he unconsciously sent troops to raid the Nanyang military camp. Now the Nanyang King is dead, which is the time of the turmoil of the army. The current Nanyang army is like a sick tiger, vulnerable.
King Chen's knife was already on their necks. If he didn't respond, it would be like he sweeping King Chen's face, which would probably cause a bloody storm, and the Nanyang Army would be killed and injured countless times.
Secondly, Gu Jue asked him to summon the second son Qin Xuan, but in fact he was just polite. He didn't respond. Qin Yao could also go to Qin Xuan. By then, Qin Xuan's life would probably not be saved.
Third, it is also the most important point.
The reputation of King Chen Gu Jue is of great importance in the army. King Chen has always been rigorous in governing the army, with clear rewards and punishments, and sets an example. Everyone praises it in the Great Qi army or among the people.
In the history of Daqi, there was only one Gu Jue.
Gu Jue was able to be famous all over the world and intimidate Nan Hao, of course, not only his surname and the love of the late emperor for him, but also his person.
He said nothing, and he said the same thing.
This matter is of great importance, so Mu Lin also called three other veterans as witnesses.
The deceased King of Nanyang was as kind as a mountain to him. He also did not want the prince to die inexplicably, and wanted to see if the prince's death was really as King Chen said.
"Second Young Master," Mu Lin bowed to Qin Xuan, and said politely and respectfully, "The prince said he wanted to see you, so the last general specially invited the second young master to come over and talk."
"..." Qin Xuan was a little panicked when he saw Qin Yao. Now he saw that several veterans in the army, including Mu Lin, were there, and his eyes settled down.
He raised his hand and pointed at Qin Yao in the wheelchair, raised his voice angrily, and asked, "Brother, you have the face to come back after killing your father?"
His thoughts flew around, thinking that since the stranger sitting behind the general's case could sit for granted, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
He looked indignant, "Now the father's body is not cold, you don't repent, and you are still struggling with the intention of outsiders to rebel, and ignore the lives and deaths of the soldiers and civilians in Nanyang."
"Brother, you really disappointed me!"
His meaning was that if Qin Yao colluded with outsiders to rebel, and once the emperor believed that the Nanyang Palace and the Nanyang army would rebel, then the soldiers, officials and soldiers in Nanyang would be implicated, which would be a death penalty. At the least, the house would be confiscated, and at the worst, the nine tribes would be implicated.
After Qin Xuan said this, all the generals nodded thoughtfully, with a serious expression.
In addition to Mu Lin, there is also a veteran with Triangle Eye who also knows Gu Jue's identity. He thinks that Qin Yao is not only unfilial to kill his father, but also ambitious and acts too ungrateful.
Even if Qin Yao said he had an injustice, shouldn’t he stand up and let the emperor ask Dali Temple to try the case?!
Now he directly uses King Chen and the Northern Army to suppress them, and he is following a wrong way!
Qin Yao stroked his sleeves and curled his lips. Instead of being angry, he showed a cynical smile and asked Qin Xuan meaningfully: "I thought Nanyang was already 'rebellious'?"
"..." Qin Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and his face turned pale.
He didn't expect Qin Yao to say this at all, and he couldn't help but wonder if he knew something. There was a moment of panic in his expression, but he soon calmed down again.
"Brother, I don't know what you are talking about." Qin Xuan raised his chin and said sternly, "Are you going to turn the tables?"
The veterans such as Mu Lin were confused and looked back and forth at the brothers.
Gu Jue and Qin Yao both saw Qin Xuan's subtle face change and looked at each other tacitly.
Anyone who hears some personal news will inevitably have some reactions. This reaction can be reflected in the face, such as frowning, sneering, curling lips, pouting, etc., or in their physical movements, trembling, clenching fists, weak feet, sweating, etc.
Even if these changes are extremely subtle, even if they just flash by, there are traces to follow.
Although Qin Xuan did not admit it personally, his uncontrollable shock and panic had already explained everything.
Qin Xuan is indeed intending to collude with the enemy!
Gu Jue's eyes flashed, thinking about some of the details that Qin Yao told him, the knuckles of his left hand gently knocked on the general's desk twice.
It seems that everything is almost as he expected.
Gu Jue's lips curled slightly and suggested, "There is another hidden secret in the death of the King of Nanyang. It's better to open a coffin and examine the autopsy and find out the truth!"
What?! Qin Xuan was stunned again and blurted out excitedly: "No! The father died unjustly and died with his eyes open. Now that the man has been buried, he is buried in peace. He will dig out his father's body and not even keep the whole body for him. It is really ridiculous!"
The veterans such as Mu Lin also looked at each other and felt that it was inappropriate.
Since ancient times, the Han people have been concerned about being buried in the soil and leaving all the corpses dead.
The prince worked hard for the country and the people all his life, and he would be in peace after his death, which also made them, the old people who had followed him for many years, feel unbearable.
He said in a faint tone: "Young Master Qin is such a bad word. I said I wanted to open a coffin and examine the body, but I didn't say that I would let Ling Zun die without a complete body. Could it be that the second master has a ghost in his heart?"
Qin Xuan: "..."
Qin Xuan clenched his fists and his face became stiff again. As the other party said, opening a coffin can only examine the surface of the body, and it may not necessarily damage the body.
He wanted to explain that what he said was just human nature. However, Gu Jue, who had achieved his goal, did not want to listen to his clever words and quibble, and then threw out the next sentence: "The reason why you disagree with opening the coffin and examining the autopsy is because you don't want others to discover the real cause of Ling Zun's death..."
Mu Lin and others' expressions changed slightly again.
They were not present on the day when the King of Nanyang died.
But there were several female relatives from the general's mansion that day. When they heard the sound with the princess, they saw a dagger lying on the ground in the chest of the King of Nanyang, and the prince Qin Yao stood next to the body. The second prince was only one step ahead of the princess and the others, and was the first to criticize the prince for being cruel and ruthless, unfilial, and murdered his father, and asked him to take the prince down.
At that time, so many people witnessed it with their own eyes, and Qin Yao "fled for fear of crime", no one suspected that there was something strange about it.
Afterwards, Mu Lin and others also checked the body of the King of Nanyang. The dagger was killed with one knife, and there is no doubt.
But now Gu Jue said that the cause of Nanyang King's death was not because of this, which made Mu Lin feel unbelievable.
A fine bead of sweat oozed from Qin Xuan's forehead and took a step forward angrily, but at the same time avoided Gu Jue's gaze, which seemed to be able to see through everything.
He turned to look at Mu Lin and others, and said angrily: "General Mu, are you just letting him talk nonsense here?"
"The cause of the father's death is undoubtedly the death of a dagger inserted into his chest!"
"Did I let you talk?" Gu Jue picked up his eyes slightly.
The narrow eyes tilted slightly upward, and the pupils were cold and wise, just like the bright moonlight falling on the water, emitting a slight silver light.
"Bang!"
The next moment, a clear slap sounded through the camp, so loud and so crisp.
A gray shadow appeared in front of Qin Xuan. His face was beaten to the side and a clear five-finger mark appeared on his left cheek.
His cheeks became swollen visible to the naked eye, and he was in a mess.
Mo Chen slanted Qin Xuan coldly, and his eyes shot like a knife.
When the prince spoke, there was no room for him to interrupt!
"You dare to hit me!" Qin Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief, his handsome facial features were embarrassed and ferocious, and his voice slightly broke.
He actually dared to hit him. He grew up so old that no one had ever slapped himself in the face except his father!
Mu Lin and others frowned slightly, all in silence.
Qin Xuan has not inherited the title of King of Nanyang and is not the prince. He is just the second prince of the royal family. With the identity of King Chen, it is natural to teach a rude junior.
Seeing that Mu Lin and others turned a blind eye, Qin Xuan seemed to be spewing out of fire, and a hint of anger and resentment flashed.
Gu Jue naturally saw that, and pulled the corner of his mouth indifferently.
He turned his right hand, and there was a dagger between his fingers as if he was a magic trick. Then he slowly pulled the dagger out of the sheath, and the silver blade shone with a cold light.
He played with the dagger casually.
To be continued...
