As for whether Li Haoyuan was wronged or whether he had an inside story, it is not his business. He does not seek political advice if he is not in his position.

The imperial court and the Supervision Department investigate, and various ministries and yamen handle it. I am just a minister of etiquette. All I can do is do what I have to do, and there is no need to do too much.

I don’t even want to create extraneous problems.

Watching Li Haoyuan explain everything to Chu Mingrui, one could feel his complicated mood, his deep feelings for the soldiers in the north, and his hatred and annoyance for the defeat. The faces of the twenty-three men became more and more complex. I became increasingly sad and angry, as if I had been wronged greatly.

He pretended not to see it, and Chu Mingrui also pretended not to see it. The two eunuchs in red also pretended not to see it.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

As expected, they are indeed Huang Cheng's disciples and disciples. Although they behave arrogantly, they seem not to pay attention to anyone. But they are so young, but their minds are extremely calm.

They were able to restrain their arrogance and show off, and did not rashly provoke these twenty-three men.

Although they all pretended not to know and couldn't see it, these people couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is something inside on this matter!" "Shut up!" Li Haoyuan suddenly stopped shouting.

His expression, which had always been as calm as water, suddenly changed, his eyes widened with anger, and his aura was as fierce as a tiger. The men suddenly fell silent.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at him and didn't care.

Regardless of whether there is an inside story or not, it is useless to tell the Ministry of War, the emperor, and others. These people should know, so why do they have to reveal the inside story?

Is it a matter of vindication, ulterior motives, or deep feelings for Li Haoyuan? People's hearts are complex and unpredictable.

Especially at this time, when Li Haoyuan hits the bottom, various changes will occur in people's hearts, and all kinds of complicated thoughts will emerge. Chu Zhiyuan doesn't want to pay attention to these, and just wants to take Li Haoyuan back to Beijing as soon as possible.

Li Haoyuan continued to hand over to Chu Mingrui.

After a while, someone spoke again and said in a deep voice: "General, if I don't say it, I won't be able to sleep at night. I have to say it!" "Li Huchen, shut up!" Li Haoyuan shouted and pointed outside: "Get out. , don’t talk nonsense here!”

The middle-aged tiger-headed man had a stubborn look in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "General, I have to say it!" "If you think I die too slowly, just say it!" Li Haoyuan gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Yes. Don’t you have to kill me?” “General——!”

"Shut up, shut up if you don't want me to die!"

Chu Zhiyuan was aroused and looked at Chu Mingrui out of curiosity.

But Chu Mingrui stared at the roster in his hand indifferently, with a solemn expression, turning a deaf ear to the outside world. This roster contained the lists of soldiers from Fuyuan Town and Gaoling Town.

Name, camp, position, age, place of origin.

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes flashed, he lowered his eyelids and said nothing, like a statue. The hall became quiet, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Time passes very slowly.

Chu Mingrui finally finished flipping through the list, looked up at Li Haoyuan, and sighed: "General Li, I admire you... I will report the facts truthfully." After he saw these lists, he was sure that Li Haoyuan did not take advantage of his salary.

This is indeed an anomaly for the frontier army.

After working in the border area for thirty years, Li Haoyuan actually refused to pay his salary, which was an example for his ministers. Unfortunately, this time his mistake was too big.

For the general soldiers on the border, being paid on an empty basis is a stain, but it is not a big fault. Everyone is like this, let alone anyone. The key lies in the ability and means of using soldiers.

If you are good at using soldiers and can win battles, even if you are paid empty wages, the court will turn a blind eye. If you are not good at using soldiers and your men are too damaged, even if you are not paid empty wages, it is still a sin.

But being an honest official can save his life. There may not be a chance of recovery in the future, it depends on his luck. Li Haoyuan said solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will resign... I will leave everything here to Your Majesty!"

Chu Mingrui said: "Don't worry, in the future, we will first take back Fuyuan Town, then rebuild Fuyuan Town and clean up the inside." When Li Haoyuan heard his last words, he immediately understood that Chu Mingrui was a sensible person and there was no need to say more.

.

Thinking about it, as the military god of Da Jing, how could he be an ordinary person? How could Prince Ying not think of what he thought of? When he thought of this, he showed a bitter look on his face, hugged his fist, turned around and left.

"General!"

The men stepped forward to block his way.

Li Haoyuan stared at them coldly: "If you want to survive, just shut up. I will finish my words here, so you can all know for yourself. See you in the world!" After saying that, he pushed aside the people blocking the way and strode out of the Yamen.

.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at these men to see if they would tell the inside story.

But I saw them looking at each other for a few times, and after hesitating for a while, they finally said nothing and left one after another.

After they left, Chu Zhiyuan looked away.

Chu Mingrui looked at him with a smile: "Fourth, aren't you curious?"

"You should not be curious, it's best not to inquire blindly." Chu Zhiyuan said: "You have to hold it back."

Chu Mingrui laughed, thinking what he said was interesting, and said with a smile: "Then how do you know when to endure it and when not to endure it?" "Then it's up to your own judgment." Chu Zhiyuan said: "By the way,

It’s intuitive.”

Chu Mingrui laughed: "You are so old-fashioned, you are not like a young man!...They are talking about the inside story of the fall of Fuyuan Town." "Uncle Ten is curious, isn't he?"

"There must be internal and external collusion, but internal and external collusion is internal and external collusion. There must be secret agents infiltrating, and the secret agents must be eliminated." "...Uncle Ten, you have to be careful around you."

"Of course I will be careful." Chu Mingrui sneered: "Such an insidious method, you can tell at a glance that some sects are involved." Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword eyebrows.

Chu Mingrui said: "There are not many sects that Li Haoyuan can worry about." Chu Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully.

As the commander-in-chief of Zhenyuan, Li Haoyuan is not an ordinary general. He has many guards around him, including many masters. He still has concerns, and it should involve the grand master.

There are not many sects with great masters.

You can count them by just twirling your fingers, but there are probably even fewer people who act so boldly and sneakily. "Uncle Ten, isn't he from the four great demon sects?"

"They shouldn't be..." "What about the four major sects?" "Probably not."

"That's the evil sect?...If you don't be afraid to speak out about the evil sect, I'm afraid it's still the four major sects or the four major demon sects." Chu Zhiyuan pondered, twirling his fingers: "Invite...Wu...Jiu Li Divine Sect.

..Eternal Spirit God..." Will these four demon sects collude with Dameng?

He shook his head, thinking no. Four major sects?

"Baiyun Sword Palace. Qinglu Cliff. Dalingyan Peak... Feitian Sect..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

It was difficult for him to determine whether it was one of the four major sects, and it was even harder to determine which sect it was.

"Okay, the truth will eventually come to light." Chu Mingrui said, "Go back to Yujing and inquire about it, and let me know when you get the results."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Ten, it would be faster for you to communicate with Yu Jing, but it would be much slower for us to communicate with each other." It's different.

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan agreed.
