Chapter 162 Female General (18)
Chapter 162 Female General (18)
Shi Yue saw through their plan, and with the support of Gao Ting on both sides, he fought his way out of the main gate.
"Princess!"
When she opened the door, she saw Yinghua huddled inside, surrounded by maids.
"Come with me quickly."
Without giving her time to explain, he immediately pulled her up and protected her behind him.
At this time, Gao Ting and his men were also fighting with the people who climbed to the window.
After looking at the main entrance, Lao Chang led his men to deal with the scattered assassins.
You have to exit through the main gate.
Outside the main gate were their carriages and horses, and they could go out and ride quickly.
Much safer than riding with the princess.
However, what was originally an absolutely overwhelming crushing victory was reversed after they came out.
For some reason, all of their people looked painful, as if they were poisoned!
"General, our brothers have been drugged."
Old Chang waved the sword in his hand and spoke loudly to her.
And moved quickly towards her.
"General, I have tied up my carriage at the door. Please take the princess over quickly..."
Before the words were finished, the person arrived.
After hearing his words, Shi Yue was about to pull the princess out, but his body was weakened by the white smoke he raised.
"Lao, Lao Chang?!"
She was puzzled.
The person who attacked her turned out to be Lao Chang, with whom she had shared life and death several times!
This was her last moment of consciousness before she fell into a coma.
Before she fell, she was still holding the princess's hand without letting go.
Gao Ting was sitting by the window in the inner room. If he missed her for a moment, the princess would have a knife in her heart.
Obviously, there is no way to save the situation.
Shi Yue was also lying nearby, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
"Shiyue!"
Shi Yue woke up in a simple room.
The head doesn’t hurt, but it feels swollen, dizzy and stuffy.
The air around her didn't smell smooth, which made her already uncomfortable brain even worse.
"Where is this?"
She rubbed her eyes and looked at her environment again.
I realized that this was more like a slightly cleaner cell than a simple house.
After taking a break and feeling that he had regained his strength, he tried to stand up and walked towards the cell door that was obviously locked.
"Shiyue?"
A voice from next door interrupted her actions.
"Gauthin?"
It was his voice, for sure.
"You finally woke up!"
There was a sense of relief in his voice.
Although someone was called to check on her and found that she was fine, there was no one to take care of her personally, so no one knew what her condition was.
"How is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Shi Yue shook his head, then realized that he couldn't see, and said softly, "I'm fine. I was a little dizzy when I first woke up, but I'm almost fine now."
This is not the question she cares about most now. "I am more curious, how did we end up in this place?"
Following the sound, she judged that he should be on the right side separated from her by a wall.
Gao Ting used the simplest words to explain to her everything that had happened after she fell into a coma.
"When I arrived, the princess was already dead with a knife stuck in her chest."
"Then you lay next to her, unconscious."
"The princess who was married to the emperor died, but she still had to be brought back to the capital to wait for the emperor's decision."
"But unexpectedly, the news leaked out. When we returned to the capital, Dongyuan declared war on us on the grounds that the princess was assassinated in Dashang."
"In order to quell the doubts of the government and the people, you and I, the people involved, have been thrown into the dungeon."
When Shi Yue woke up and saw everything around him, he could probably guess about 70% of what was going on.
only……
"Do you know that it was Lao Chang who did it?"
Gao Ting's voice came, and it was a little strange.
"It's him?"
She heard something wrong, "Don't you know? He was the one who knocked me out. The princess's death should also be caused by him."
"It turned out to be him!"
Gao Ting was shocked. Things seemed to be going off the right track at this point.
"No wonder……"
"No wonder?" She didn't know when Gao Ting became so slow. Ever since she woke up, he had been speaking in such a halting manner.
"No wonder those men in black looked so shocked. It turns out they really weren't the ones to do it."
"The man in black is not in the same group as Lao Chang."
Gao Ting listened for a long time and finally grasped the key.
"At first, we didn't know that Lao Chang was involved, but now it's clear."
"That night, there was another force operating in the dark, the people behind Lao Chang."
He didn't understand who was behind him for the time being.
"Wait," Shi Yue called out.
"If you don't know Lao Chang's role in this, then who do you think killed the princess?"
She finally realized that something was wrong. No wonder she was locked up here and even Gao Ting was not spared.
"Is it me?"
They thought she had killed the princess, and that the brothers present were all responsible.
"But that doesn't make sense. I was unconscious too."
She felt that, just as Gao Ting thought, they should suspect the group of people in black. Why would they think of her? Was everyone's brain confused?
"The princess died from a single stab to the heart."
He quietly told the other end what he had seen that day.
After hearing this, Shi Yue belatedly realized that he had lost a friend.
She was a little dazed. Before she opened her eyes, she was still being protected by herself. How come when she woke up again, she was gone?
She had just left her hometown, so how could she never go back?
"But the knife that stabbed her was not ordinary."
Shi Yue had a bad suspicion, "How about that knife?"
"is yours."
That's why they were convicted.
"It's the knife you always carry with you but haven't seen in the past year."
"Then, that knife..."
All the blood in her body seemed to freeze into ice at this moment, making her lips and teeth feel cold.
"I gave that knife to Yuansheng."
"what!"
Gao Ting originally thought that her knife was accidentally lost by her or stolen by the person behind the scenes.
But I didn’t expect that it was given to Yuansheng.
"But he is not..."
Isn't he dead?
Shi Yue knew in his heart that this did not mean that he was still alive or not.
What is certain is that Yuansheng died at the hands of Wuqi, so this knife is inseparable from Wuqi.
Assassinate Princess Dongyuan in order to disrupt the marriage between the two countries.
This is consistent with Wuqi's style.
"Wuqi should be the power behind Lao Chang."
"But, why would he betray Da Shang and cooperate with Wu Qi?"
Lao Chang had killed countless Wuqi people on the battlefield, so this couldn't be fake. He was definitely not an undercover sent by Wuqi.
But when exactly did he change sides?
"In the past year, we haven't had any direct contact with Wuqi."
Gao Ting didn't know why, but he was trying hard to recall what was wrong in the past year.
"Perhaps it was during this period that he was bribed, threatened, and brainwashed..."
It was hard for them to say such things.
It is hard for anyone to accept being betrayed by a brother who went to the battlefield with him.
"Squeak-"
While they were talking, there was a sound of a door being pushed open outside.
somebody is coming.
