Bai Mingwei listened to the guard's report and walked into the courtyard quickly.

Cui Zhihui's body was lying in the hall. Bai Mingwei ignored it and stepped straight into Bai Jing's room.

What came into view were the family members guarding the bed, but her eyes fell on the bed.

But I saw the fifth sister-in-law lying quietly with gauze wrapped around her forehead.

The fifth sister-in-law's complexion was very pale, tinged with a hint of gray, and there was a layer of white foam on her lips, like dead skin that had long since dried up.

"What's going on?"

This was the first thing she asked. Although she was filled with emotions inside, her voice was so calm.

With a force that stabilizes people's hearts.

Her safe return failed to make everyone happy, which shows the seriousness of the matter.

Little Chuanyi gently held her hand, put his cool face against it, and then let her go, as if he was welcoming her return in this way.

Yu Jiao pulled her aside: "Mingwei, come here."

Bai Mingwei and Yu Jiao walked outside, but saw that Yu Jiao's eyes were red. After closing the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said: "I have sent more troops now. After you leave, the second brother of the fifth sister-in-law will take the fifth sister-in-law with her."

Thousands of elite soldiers are here."

"However, things did not go so smoothly. General Cui is an extreme person. He looks down on women in this world. Naturally, he is also dissatisfied with you holding the tiger talisman. He also publicly threatened that unless Fifth Brother orders him with the tiger talisman, he will never obey you."

"He also came up with many little tricks, and even caused a debate over whether you should hold the tiger talisman or the fifth brother, which made people panic, but we stopped them all."

"For some reason today, Fifth Brother suddenly ordered twenty guards and led Fifth Sister-in-law and General Cui out of the city."

"Fortunately, Miss Six noticed something was wrong and told Chuanyi about it. Chuanyi immediately notified us to enter a state of combat readiness and asked Vice General Wei to send a team of troops to chase Fifth Brother and the others."

"In the end, they brought back the seriously injured fifth sister-in-law, the fifth brother who was covered in bruises, and the body of General Cui."

Bai Mingwei frowned: "That corpse outside belongs to General Cui?"

Yu Jiao nodded: "Fifth brother has been staying with fifth sister-in-law since he came back without saying anything. I learned about the situation from the guards."

"It seems that General Cui took Ayu's dagger and told Fifth Brother that on the way to Yaocheng, he met a cripple who claimed to be Ayu."

"He didn't believe it, so he beat the man up. He took the dagger he took from the man and went to the Bai family to verify it, but he just said it today."

"When the fifth brother heard the news, he immediately ordered people to go out to search, and General Cui also took the initiative to lead the way. Unexpectedly, General Cui attacked the fifth brother secretly and wanted to push the fifth brother off the cliff, but the fifth sister-in-law blocked the fifth brother."

"The fifth brother killed General Cui in a fit of rage. Before he died, General Cui confided that Qin Fengye used his wife and children as threats to kill the fifth brother."

Bai Mingwei listened quietly, then slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Many emotions were mixed in his eyes, including anger and worry, but they soon became calm.

She asked: "Has the news spread that General Cui is dead?"

Yu Jiao shook his head: "The people sent by Vice General Wei are all close associates. They know the importance. The news has not been spread yet. I'm afraid it won't be hidden for long."

Bai Mingwei held the sword at his waist tightly, and connected the whole thing together in his heart.

Cui Zhihui showed his annoying personality from the beginning, and also used the Tiger Talisman to disturb the morale of the army. These were not deceptions, but a series of premeditated plans against the Bai family, or the entire Bai family army.

The purpose of using the seventh brother's information to trick the fifth brother into the wilderness was to create the illusion that the fifth brother had died unexpectedly.

Once his goal succeeds and the fifth brother dies accidentally, he will not only not be responsible for the murder, but he can also blame the fifth brother's accident on himself who is not in the military.

Because he had already shown his malicious intentions so clearly in advance, it was difficult for people to suspect that he was harboring evil intentions. And with the Tiger Talisman seizing power that was foreshadowed, all the fingers would be pointed at her.

If she was accused of killing her brother for the Tiger Talisman, how could these soldiers believe her? How could she lead the soldiers to kill the enemy?

If the city cannot be recaptured, the military order issued in front of Zhengyang Gate cannot be fulfilled.

The Bai family will be destroyed, and the Bai family army that was finally established will cease to exist.

A trick to take the heat out of the cauldron.

Now that Cui Zhihui is dead, the problem does not end.

Cui Zhihui was a fifth-grade general sent by the emperor to support him. He died like this, which gave the superiors an excuse to hold him accountable.

And the five thousand elite soldiers under him will also hold a grudge because of Shangfeng's death. If they don't listen to the call, the consequences of an outbreak of riots will be disastrous.

So what if it was Cui Zhihui's fault? Those present were all the Bai family's own guards. Who would believe their description.

These despicable and shameless people!

He actually made fun of national affairs just to satisfy his own selfish desires.

In such a court, where traitors are rampant, is it necessary to save it?

Bai Mingwei's face was calm but gloomy, and her eyes flashed brightly, as if there were some intense emotions burning in her eyes at this moment.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Yu Jiao with red eyes, and she quickly calmed down: "How is the fifth sister-in-law doing?"

Yu Jiao wiped the corners of his eyes: "His head hit a rock and he was seriously injured. The doctor said the situation is very critical."

As he spoke, Yu Jiao held Bai Mingwei's hand: "Mingwei, you can't blame Fifth Brother for this. Even I can tell that it's not Ayu. It's impossible for Fifth Brother not to notice something strange."

Bai Ming nodded slightly, she knew what Sister-in-law Qi meant.

She can completely understand that Fifth Brother will join the game.

She knew from the beginning that the fifth brother had inner demons, and that inner demon was guilt over the death of his eldest brother in battle.

Without personal experience, it is difficult to imagine how deep this guilt is.

The news that the seventh brother survived became the last straw that the fifth brother grasped. It was the fifth brother's salvation.

She knew that Fifth Brother had worked very hard to become stronger, but that didn't mean that the guilt and self-blame in his heart had disappeared. It was just that Fifth Brother had hidden it well.

At this time, someone told Fifth Brother that someone who might be Seventh Brother was in danger. How could Fifth Brother not verify it?

Even if I knew that the person's words were unreliable, I didn't dare to let go of the possibility.

She could understand that the fifth sister-in-law followed the fifth brother, because the fifth sister-in-law would never let the fifth brother go alone.

The only thing they didn't handle properly was not taking adequate precautions against Cui Zhihui.

Not because of the number of guards, but because of the fact that the seventh brother is alive, so as not to leak the news, which means that this matter must not be made public.

However, it was a major oversight that Cui Zhihui was not properly guarded against and allowed him to take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Bai Ming opened his mouth slightly: "None of them are right, but the sinister and vicious executioner is wrong. I will not use the viciousness of my enemies to punish the few closest relatives."

Yu Jiao said: "Mingwei, I believe you don't think so. I wanted to say how could Cui Zhihui use Ayu's incident to make a fuss. Has the matter been leaked?"

Bai Mingwei pondered for a moment: "They may not know it, but there was no body of Brother Seven when we were buried. It is normal for them to take advantage of this matter."

Yu Jiao squeezed his sleeves: "Actually, these issues are not the most important. Cui Zhihui's death, how to solve it is the top priority at the moment."

Bai Mingwei's eyes were bright and covered with frost, and her heart was throbbing with hatred and anger, but the words she spat out were so calm.
