Shen Yuexi took advantage of the time when Xiao Zhuo was surrounded by all the generals and went down from the tower, passed through the flow of people carrying stones and bows and arrows, and returned to the mansion.

Although King Qi's army attacked fiercely, as long as Xiao Zhuo was around, she was not worried that the enemy would be able to break through the city.

The real problem is that the food and grass in the city cannot last long.Xiao Zhuo couldn't bear to deal with Xiao Beiheng, and Xiao Beiheng took Xiao Zhuo's words as a lie.If this continues, what will happen if the city runs out of food and grass?
Returning to the mansion worriedly, I ran into Shen Lan watching in the courtyard. Seeing Shen Yuexi's sad face, she asked, "What's wrong with my sister, are you worried that the city will not be able to defend?"

"Not worried about that," Shen Yuexi shook her head, "It's something else."

Shen Lan reached out to hold her hand, walked into the hall, and said, "If there is anything bothering you, can you tell my sister and see if she can help you."

The two came to the hall and sat down next to each other. Shen Yuexi looked at Shen Lan's sincere eyes and hesitated.

When Bai Ling's secret was revealed, only she and Xiao Zhuo were present.After returning from Xia Yuangu, she continued to hide it from others, mainly because she was afraid that there would be trouble after everyone knew the truth.

Shen Lan said: "Apart from your brother-in-law, your sister is your only family member. Is there anything you can't say?"

Shen Yuexi was right after thinking about it, so she briefly told Shen Lan the secret that Xiao Zhuo's biological father was Xiao Ming.

Shen Lan was quite surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Then Xiao Beiheng, who is attacking the city now, is Xiao Zhuo's younger brother?"

"This footprint is neither the master's nor King Zhao's. It is a woman. Her skills can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the hidden guards at the door. She is definitely not an ordinary woman."

She bid farewell to Shen Lan and returned to the door of the bedroom.There were two hidden guards standing outside the door, and they both bowed and saluted when they saw her come back.Shen Yuexi opened the bedroom door and entered the house, first closed the half-closed windows, and then lit the candles.

Among these women, only Mei Dai is the one she admires the most.Mei Dai is beautiful but strong, shouldering the important task of revitalizing the Mei family on the shoulders of a woman, and is resisting the attack of the Xirong people alone in Xiliang.

In the very beginning, she was also a weak chicken hugging Xiao Zhuo's thigh tightly.Even when she was using the ice city to resist the Xirong people's attack, she was always looking forward to Xiao Zhuo's rescue.

Shen Yuexi frowned, and shouted: "Where is Qiang Lin, come quickly."

A piece of letter paper, a little white silk.

Xiao Zhuo was directing the defense from the top of the city, unable to leave.It seemed she had to do it herself.

When Shen Lan learned that she was going to see King Qi, she was startled, and said nervously: "Now the two armies are at war, my sister is going to see King Qi, what if he is caught and killed on the spot?"

It wasn't until Shen Lan turned her head to call her that Xia Lan came back to her senses, took two steps quickly, put the tray on the table, and said to Shen Yuexi: "Mistress, I have a few words, I wonder if I can say them."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the candles in front of him danced loudly.When the candlelight settled down, there was already a woman in a black dress in front of the table.

The masked woman said: "I will kill him tonight. Then, like he did to Grandpa, I will stab him with more than a dozen swords in the chest."

"What are your orders, master?" Qiang Lin jumped down from the eaves, half kneeling on the ground with the handle of the knife in his hand.

Xiao Beiheng sat alone in the handsome tent, with his hands crossed to support his chin, his elbows resting on the table, staring at the candlelight in front of him.

Shen Yuexi was dumbfounded.

Shen Lan said: "Xia Lan is right, what token does my brother-in-law have?"

"My husband wrote a letter to him and the king of Qi. Not only did they not reply, but they began to attack the city violently..."

The two hidden guards didn't understand why she asked, and one of them nodded and said, "Master told me to watch carefully. We have six guards in three shifts and never left."

The woman in black didn't respond, she just raised her hand and threw out the two objects.

She is going to find Qi Wang Xiao Ming.

Qiang Lin entered the house, looked around, then knelt on the floor and looked carefully for a while, then turned to look at Shen Yuexi's feet.

"Hehe, Miss Ji is really skillful." Xiao Beiheng raised his eyes, "From entering the camp to commanding the camp, none of the soldiers could notice it. If you come to assassinate this prince, this prince will have nothing but to wait for death."

Both Shen Yuexi and Shen Lan looked at Xia Lan, Shen Yuexi nodded and said, "Don't be restrained."

"Concubine Xian's letter is clearly written." The masked woman's eyes fell on the letter paper in Xiao Beiheng's hand, "It was born out of wedlock by your father and queen Pei Jingyun."

Inside the camp of King Qi's army besieging the city.

After Xia Lan's reminder, she already knew what to do next.

"Bai Ling." Shen Yuexi stood up.

It's so abominable, what's wrong with this thief stealing, not only did he steal Bai Ling, but he even stole Mei Dai's letter.

"It must be Mei Dai who spread the rumors," Xiao Beiheng put his hands on his forehead, tears welled up in his eyes, "I... how could I have such a cruel elder brother."

Xiao Beiheng showed a shocked expression, shook his head again and again, and said, "The news is indeed true...it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible..."

"Master," Qiang Lin got up, took a candle from the table, and lit it on the ground, "here is the footprint of a stranger."

Candles illuminate the tidy room.In the middle of the desk was a small bag containing the fragments of the Dragon Huan jade pendant, but Bai Ling was nowhere to be seen.

There is a faint footprint on the ground, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it clearly at all.

Shen Yuexi asked in surprise: "Then why did the things I put on the table disappear?"

Shen Yuexi smiled and shook Shen Lan's hand: "Don't worry, sister, I will adapt to the situation."

Shen Lan was still worried, but Shen Yuexi didn't know how to be a mother-in-law.She has already understood a truth: when difficulties are in front of them, those who wait for others to save themselves are weak.

Qiang Lin shook his head and said: "Master, this subordinate has been following you on the tower. Since the dark guard said no, then there shouldn't be any. Besides, this room is the bedroom of you and King Zhao. Unless you and King Zhao allow it, others can't do whatever they want. entered."

"Disappeared?" Qiang Lin raised his head, surprised, "Can I let my subordinates enter the house to check?"

Xia Lan said: "I served Xiao Beiheng before, so I know a thing or two about him. My lord just wrote to him, so I'm afraid I can't convince him. I still need a token."

Shen Yuexi hurriedly came to Qiang Lin and squatted down, looking at the place he pointed.

Concubine Mei Dai once thought that she was just a woman who used her body to please men. After the death of her father and brother, she was once decadent.

Since the white silk was written by Empress Pei herself, Xiao Zhuo knew it was Empress Pei's handwriting at a glance.King Qi, who has a close relationship with Queen Pei, should also be able to recognize it.

Xiao Zhuo was indeed negligent.The two armies are at war, and it is possible for the other side to regard the letter here as a trick.If you want the other party to understand that these are true, then show the token to the other party.

He has strictly ordered the generals not to come to see him until the city is captured.But more importantly, he was waiting for someone.

People underestimate themselves, just because they never dare to step out of the circle that confines them.Whether it's Mei Dai, Shen Lan, or Su Mo.

The two were talking, and the maid Xia Lan happened to bring them tea from the side door. Hearing the conversation between the two, he froze on the spot.

The loyal Qiang Lin has been secretly protecting her.As long as she calls, it will immediately appear in front of her.

Shen Yuexi asked, "Has anyone come in this room?"

Shen Yuexi was taken aback.What Xia Lan said seemed to make sense.

Shen Yuexi stepped aside and said, "Come in and have a look."

She originally planned to take Bai Ling to find King Qi.Well now, Bai Ling is gone.

She wore a black veil on her face, her eyes were as cold as ice water, her figure was slender, and her lightness contained strength, which reminded Xiao Beiheng of a hunting female leopard.

Su Mo shares the same interests as her, but they also believe that if you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, you will follow the dog. Women can only live by men.After Xia Lan told her the true face of Xiao Beiheng who was cruel and easy to kill and deceived her relatives, she still chose to forgive Xiao Beiheng.

……

No wonder the window was half-closed when I first entered the house.She thought she had forgotten to turn it off carelessly.Now that I think about it carefully, with such an important thing as Bai Ling in the room, how could I not close the window.

She really grew up when she discovered that she could actually catch pheasants.

Fortunately, Xiao Beiheng killed Xiao Kai, otherwise Shen Lan would not be able to survive.

Now she wants to do the same thing as Mei Dai: to stop this brotherly war.

She clearly remembered that Bai Ling was placed on the table, as well as the letter Mei Dai wrote to her.Why is there only a small bag containing the fragments of the Longhuan Jade Pendant left now?
She looked around, walked out of the bedroom quickly, and said to the two hidden guards, "You two have been guarding the door?"

"This son will do what he says," Xiao Beiheng choked up, "I hope Miss Ji will forgive me, this son is really shocked. I never thought that such a villain would be...my brother."

The elder sister Shen Lan thinks that she is just a man's vassal, no matter how much Xiao Kai beats, scolds and abuses her, she never dares to leave Xiao Kai.Even if she rescued Shen Lan by putting herself in danger, Shen Lan actually went back to find Xiao Kai later.

"He is indeed His Royal Highness's elder brother," the masked woman stared at him.

Weak people will only wait for the charity and salvation of others, never have the courage to change their destiny, and think that they are weak and justified.

"Ah, could it be a female thief?" Shen Yuexi looked up at the window, "I see, she came in through the window!"

Qiang Lin stood up and came to the window, touched the window frame with his hand, and stopped at the bolt: "Master, there are traces of provocation on the bolt."

"I don't care whether the letter is true or not, I just want to avenge my grandfather," the masked woman ignored his crying, "Your Highness, I have done as you asked. Now fulfill your promise and let the soldiers stop the siege .You promised me to take his life with my own hands."

Xiao Beiheng raised his hand to catch it, and immediately unfolded it to watch by candlelight.

When she said this, her originally calm tone finally became angry.

Xiao Beiheng covered his face with his hands and said:

"Miss Ji wants to kill the villain who killed the master. Even if he is the elder brother, this son can only kill the relatives righteously... The father is wounded in bed, if he knows the news..."

Just as he was speaking, he saw between his fingers that the masked woman had disappeared.

Xiao Beiheng cried for a while, then put the letter paper in his hand on the fire and burned it to ashes, and then put the white silk on the fire and lit it.His face flickered on and off in the flickering light of the candle.

When both the letter paper and the white silk were reduced to ashes, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and called the sergeant, "Send an order to stop the siege."
