Chapter 114 Caught
"Someone, take it!"
At General Zhao's command, a group of people rushed in and surrounded Qin Xuanyu and his companions.
"General Zhao!" General Zuo tried to stop him. The surrounding soldiers looked at General Zuo and then at General Zhao, unsure of what to do.
Although General Zuo's rank was one level lower than General Zhao's, he was still very prestigious in the army. The two sides had always kept to themselves and consulted with each other, and had never clashed with each other.
"General Zhao, is what he said true? If not, why are you in such a hurry to deal with them?"
When General Zuo saw that General Zhao's expression had suddenly changed and he was no longer as easy to talk to as usual, he couldn't help but lean more towards Qin Xuanyu.
"It seems these two spies are quite capable, managing to turn even a dignified Left General and a Lieutenant General against you. Let's take them down together!"
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, hesitant to move forward.
"What's wrong? Does my word no longer carry weight? I'll take responsibility. When the Grand General returns, I'll hand it over to him to deal with."
General Zhao knew the prestige of General Zuo and Jiang Luofeng in the army, which is why he said that.
"I'll see who dares!" Qin Xuanyu stepped forward and removed the human skin mask from his face.
When a familiar face came into view, General Zhao's expression changed drastically.
General Zuo and Jiang Luofeng stared at Qin Xuanyu in disbelief, clearly not expecting that the person in front of them would be the dignified Prince Qin.
Jiang Luofeng's expression became even more interesting.
So, just now, was he fearless in provoking the King of Qin?
"Nonsense! You dare to impersonate His Highness the King of Qin! You deserve to die! Guards, seize him!" General Zhao quickly realized that if he didn't take this person down, everything he had would be for naught.
Therefore, he could only insist, "Your Highness, I've seen many people like you before!"
General Zuo never expected General Zhao to twist the truth like this, "You..."
For a moment, the surrounding soldiers didn't know who to believe.
However, one of the soldiers was fortunate enough to see Qin Xuanyu, exclaiming, "It really is the King of Qin!"
He was so shocked that he immediately put down his weapon and saluted.
Upon seeing this, everyone around them knelt down in unison.
Jiang Qingyue knew that Qin Xuanyu had already revealed his identity, that he was one of the emperor's and crown prince's men, and that all the people who needed to be arrested had been arrested.
So Jiang Qingyue revealed her identity, "My name is Jiang Qingyue, and my mother is Gu Yuan, who is also General Gu's granddaughter."
Now, everyone turned to look.
They had long heard that General Gu's triumphant return to the capital was for the sake of his granddaughter, Jiang Qingyue.
Therefore, they no longer had any doubts, but they did not expect that General Gu's granddaughter would come looking for him before he returned.
General Zhao tried to struggle, but Qin Xuanyu instead gave the order, "Men, seize General Zhao and await his fate!"
"Yes!"
With General Zhao's arrest, all those on the list were also apprehended.
Inside the main tent, Qin Xuanyu sat upright in the center, looking at the people kneeling below, his eyes narrowing with a smile.
There were also several people in his army who were loyal to the emperor and the crown prince, but he did not want to break off relations, so he pretended not to know and just kept a little more on guard.
But now, the emperor's influence has extended into the Gu family army.
This would normally be a perfectly normal thing, with everything done to serve the emperor, but the Gu family army is different.
They have been stationed on the frontier for a long time, guarding this land. General Gu has made outstanding military achievements. However, the emperor and the crown prince, for their own power, have turned against the meritorious officials and tried to turn the Gu family army into their private army. This is truly disheartening.
Did they ever consider whether they could still hold onto their positions if General Gu were gone?
"Speak, where is General Gu? You know." Qin Xuanyu went straight to the point.
Several generals and officers who were listening in and were unaware of the situation stared wide-eyed at General Zhao in shock.
"Hmph, I don't understand what Your Highness is talking about." General Zhao stubbornly denied it. "Your Highness not only doesn't manage your own army, but also interferes in the affairs of the Gu family army, and even kidnapped this humble general without distinguishing right from wrong. You really have quite the airs!"
General Zhao spoke with a sarcastic tone, showing little respect for Qin Xuanyu.
Qin Xuanyu merely sneered, "Do you know why I knew you were His Majesty's man so quickly? Because I personally witnessed you meeting with His Majesty in private."
Whether you were His Majesty's man or not was none of my business, but your biggest mistake was colluding with the heretical sect!
Once martial arts forces infiltrate the imperial court, things will become even worse.
He built this empire step by step, and he absolutely will not allow it to remain so!
"Do you know about the Ghost Sect?" Qin Xuanyu asked without waiting for his answer.
Sure enough, General Zhao's bewildered look gave him away.
So Jiang Qingyue gave General Zhao a proper introduction to the Ghost Sect on behalf of Qin Xuanyu.
When Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, General Zhao became even more agitated, "This is impossible!"
Only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had been exposed.
“Nothing is impossible. The mark on my grandfather that we just found is enough to prove that the Ghost Sect has intervened in this matter.” Jiang Qingyue stated this fact to General Zhao ruthlessly.
"No, that's clearly the Medical Sect. They also told me that it's a reclusive sect in the martial arts world. They're temporarily detaining the General for a while, and once His Majesty completes his plan, the General will be released safely!"
General Zhao found it hard to believe.
Back then, the emperor's men approached him, told him to handle this matter, and assured him that General Gu was a meritorious official and His Majesty would rely on him to continue guarding the frontier, and that they would absolutely not harm him.
However, the Gu family army is too unruly and only listens to General Gu. His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to consolidate some of the Gu family army's power. It is difficult to operate with the General Gu, so this is the reason.
But now that he's being told that's not the case at all, how can General Zhao accept that?
Although he claimed to be His Majesty's man, his admiration and respect for the Grand General were genuine, which is why no one discovered he was the Emperor's man.
Therefore, the general being in trouble was the last thing he wanted to see.
Faced with the Emperor's orders on one side and the General's safety on the other, General Zhao found it difficult to choose. Only after their repeated assurances did he agree to cooperate.
"The Medical Sect is a branch of the Ghost Sect. However, the Medical Sect has long since disintegrated, leaving only the Poison Sect. This kind of poison can only be found in the Poison Sect."
Therefore, after Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue analyzed it all night, they determined that the medical records in General Gu's book were actually from the Ghost Sect!
"No, this must be fake, it must be..." General Zhao muttered to himself, finding it hard to accept.
"Do you think it makes sense for us to lie to you with this?" Jiang Qingyue retorted.
"So, it was me who harmed the General, it was me..." General Zhao seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he collapsed to the ground in a daze...
