"Do you think I would believe such a lie?"

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. Many people in the rebel army know about this matter. In addition, what you said just now is wrong. It is true that our General Li has a high regard for the Lin family and his son, but they do not care about Li Da.

The general is quite wary, and he does not trust us brothers and sisters. With the combination of old and new grudges, we brothers and sisters have taken the risk to come to seek refuge with you, envoy. It is not a big deal for you to misunderstand us. If you miss the opportunity to fight,

, I’m afraid I’ll regret it too late.”

Yu Zhenwen listened to the calm expression on his face, but he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. Liu Qian's words were reasonable and seemed acceptable. However, Yu Zhenwen had been in the officialdom for a long time and knew that people's hearts were sinister. Finally, he said: "I will verify these things myself, but

Now I'm afraid I have no choice but to wrong you, come here."

Following Yu Zhen's call, several soldiers walked in: "Your Majesty."

"Take them both under guard and keep them under strict supervision. If anything goes wrong, report them to us!"

"Yes." Several soldiers took the order and immediately escorted Liu and Wang down. At this time, Yu Zhen stopped one of the leaders and whispered.

"This matter will be kept secret for the time being. Don't let Marshal Cui know about it."

These soldiers were all Yu Zhen's confidants. After hearing this, they immediately accepted the order. In this way, Liu and Wang were taken to a small tent and imprisoned. No one was allowed to contact them without Yu Zhen's order.

Although he didn't suffer any torture, he still felt a little uneasy, and he didn't know if Yu Zhen would be fooled.

At dusk, a short fat man suddenly came in, holding a gourd in one hand and a tray with a few sesame seed cakes on the other. It seemed that he was delivering food.

"Here, it's time to eat." The other party said and sat cross-legged in front of Liu and Wang. He broke up the sesame cakes and fed them to them. The gourd was filled with water. Liu and Wang were a little wary at first.

After a few mouthfuls and seeing nothing unusual, I gradually relaxed.

"I heard that you two are from the capital?" The short fat man suddenly asked after feeding for a while.

Liu Qian was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't understand why he asked this, but she still nodded.

"That's such a coincidence. In fact, I used to live in the capital, and I learned my cooking skills at Cuiweifang. Is that place still there today?"

Cuiweifang is a famous restaurant in the capital. It specializes in southern cuisine and is famous for its exquisite dishes. Many dignitaries and celebrities like to patronize there. Liu and Wang really knew about this. Wang Xiong immediately said: "The house is still there, but

Everyone has left, and now the place is closed."

The short fat man couldn't help but look sad after hearing this: "Oh, life has been difficult for everyone in the past few years. To be honest, I also left the capital to avoid the war. I originally wanted to flee to the south, but the people of the Great You Army were killed halfway.

I was caught. They knew I could cook, so they arranged for me to be a cook. In fact, I really didn’t want to work with them, but what can we ordinary people do these days? I heard that you two this time

I came from the capital, and I remembered what happened in the past. Life was so peaceful back then. By the way, how is the capital now? Can you two tell me?"

Liu and Wang thought at first that the fat man seemed familiar to him, but later they gradually understood that he wanted to inquire about the situation in the capital, which was human nature. Liu and Wang thought that he would be locked up anyway.

With nothing to do, when I introduced the current situation in the capital to him, the latter was sometimes happy and sometimes regretful, and it was obvious that he was quite touched.

"What's going on? It took you so long to have a meal?" The three of them were chatting enthusiastically when suddenly the door curtain opened and two soldiers came in. The short fat man was shocked when he saw this.

"Don't worry, brothers. It's inconvenient for them to eat with their hands and feet tied up."

"Come on, Fatty Chen, don't think we don't know. We heard the three of you muttering inside just now. You don't want to save these two spies, do you?"

Fatty Chen waved his hands after hearing this: "I don't dare, I don't dare, brothers, don't be joking. How can I be so courageous as a cook? I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

Fatty Chen said as he picked up the gourd and tray and hurriedly left the tent. The two soldiers slapped him on the back of the head before leaving, which seemed extremely contemptuous. Wang and Liu were also quite moved when they saw this scene.

It is not easy for most people to survive in this world today.

They spent the night like this, and the next morning Fatty Chen came to bring them food again. This time they drank vegetable porridge. It was inconvenient for Wang and Liu to have their hands and feet tied up, so Fatty Chen fed them two bowls again.

Despite his rough appearance, this man was quite patient in his work. This time, the two parties became somewhat familiar with each other, and the chat further deepened.

Fatty Chen looked at the guarding soldiers but didn't pay much attention to them, and then asked in a low voice: "You two, I heard someone said that you two were spies sent by the rebel army. Is this true or false?"

Wang and Liu looked at each other after hearing this: "Why are you guys asking about this?"

"I'm just a person who wants to inquire about other things. Besides, if this is true, I feel very sorry for you two."

"How to say?"

"There are no outsiders here. Let's say privately that the Great You Army is now in decline. Everyone can see that they will not last long. Even many people in the army are already thinking of finding another way out. If you two are caught at this time, if there is someone in the end.

At any rate, isn’t it true that you are unjust?”

Hearing this, Liu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Actually, you are wrong. We are not spies. Instead, we are here to surrender. But the military commander doesn't believe us."

"Surrender? Stop making trouble. The Great You Army is like this now. If you come to surrender, aren't you asking for your own death?"

"You don't know what's going on here. We have some grievances with the people from the rebel army. To put it bluntly, we can't stay there any longer. Besides, although the situation in the Great You Army is tight now, it's not so precarious. It's a pity to watch.

The military commander is unwilling to listen to us, otherwise there will be room for maneuver if things go wrong."

Fatty Chen nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then did not continue the conversation. Seeing that the two of them had almost finished their porridge, he packed up and left. Not long after, Yu Zhen interrogated them for the second time. This time

As soon as he came up, Yu Zhen shouted sharply: "What do you two spies have to say now?"

Liu and Wang were stunned again when they heard this. They wondered why Yu Zhen mentioned this matter again. At that time, they had to kowtow: "Your Majesty, we are really not spies. How can you believe us?"

"Hmph, you still have to be tough now. Bring me the witnesses!"

Liu and Wang were shocked when they heard this. They wondered where the witness was. Not long after, a person was picked out from behind the curtain. When they saw it, it turned out to be Fatty Chen, who was delivering food.

"See the envoy."

"Fat Chen, what they both said to you before, please repeat it roughly."

"As ordered." Fatty Chen immediately repeated the content of the two conversations between the three of them. There was really not much difference in the content. Only then did Wang and Liu realize that he was sent by Yu Zhen to test them intentionally.

After Fatty Chen finished speaking, Yu Zhen asked: "How about it, what he said is the truth?"

As soon as Liu Qian thought that there was nothing wrong with this conversation, she immediately said: "It is indeed the truth."
