The secret guard replied: "Zhongshu Ling concluded that Mr. Gu is probably controlled by someone."

Liu Xiaojie frowned: "Being controlled by someone?"

The secret guard nodded: "Well, because Mr. Gu at this time is completely different from the past, he must be under control, so Zhongshu Ling has been lurking next to him, trying to find out his details."

"Perhaps he discovered it, so he took the opportunity to hurt Zhongshu Ling. Moreover, his skills and techniques are somewhat different. Even I couldn't stop him in the first place and let him hurt Zhongshu Ling."

"Zhongshu Ling guessed that if Mr. Gu takes action against the general, his next move is likely to be his goal."

"Zhongshu ordered me to tell the general that if he makes this matter a big deal, he can kill the rabbit in the grass house. Whoever is surprised will be the real owner."

Liu Xiaojie quickly understood what the secret guard said. In fact, Gu Huaijun's behavior was not difficult to guess. He first hurt Shen Jingyan in the name of being unable to bear Shen Jingyan's entanglement.

Then he approached Liu Xiaojie on the pretext of surrendering, and then deliberately angered Liu Xiaojie and took the opportunity to attack Liu Xiaojie.

If he succeeds in killing Liu Xiaojie, the matter will evolve into Shen Jingyan pestering him and asking the general for help.

However, the general was afraid of the power of the eldest princess's palace, so not only did he not make the decision for him, he also put all the blame on him.

So he had no way to complain, and in a mixture of grief and anger, he took action against Liu Xiaojie.

This would not only cover up the traces of the group behind him, but also allow them to attack Guiyan City when the imperial court dispatched a new General Fuyuan to take office.

This is probably what happened, and it's easy to tell.

But the difficult thing is how to judge what they want to do in Guiyan City.

After Liu Xiaojie figured out the key, he first called the deputy general, and while his subordinates went to ask for the doctor, he immediately issued the order.

"There are spies in our army. Someone pretended to be Gu Qianhu and assassinated my general. The real Gu Qianhu may have been poisoned."

"Now, the entire city is under martial law, and all efforts are being made to arrest the man pretending to be Gu Qianhu. All relevant personnel who went on the mission with Gu Qianhu are under control and are to be dealt with quickly!"

Liu Xiaojie gave such an order, which ultimately left a way out for Gu Huaijun. He admired this young Qianhu very much, so he couldn't bear the death of Gu Huaijun because of this.

Military orders were issued, and soon after returning to Yancheng, martial law was implemented throughout the city.

Soldiers were patrolling the streets, and the city guards were in full formation. The elite soldiers who followed Gu Huaijun to pursue Tu Su were also imprisoned.

Although the searchers were as dense as a spider web, Gu Huaijun was nowhere to be seen, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

The soldiers searched like this for three days, but still found nothing.

Gradually, a terrible rumor spread all over the sky.

Privately, more and more people are speculating that Gu Huaijun was actually killed by Liu Xiaojie in order to more easily resolve the matter of Gu Huaijun stabbing Shen Jingyan.

Liu Xiaojie's injuries were caused by Gu Huaijun who resisted when he killed Gu Huaijun.

Many people believed this rumor, believing that Liu Xiaojie attacked Gu Huaijun, who was helpless and had no family power, in order to please the eldest princess.

So the rumors, accompanied by doubts, gradually caused turmoil in Guiyan City.

Low morale is the most taboo thing in the army, but the huge power of rumors still makes Liu Xiaojie, who was once just a minor deputy general and did not contribute much to Guiyan City, questioned.

Shen Jingyan was seriously injured and unable to move, and he could not easily contact Liu Xiaojie, so his movement was restricted.

A rumor restricted the two most powerful people in Guiyan City.

Their behavior was also closely monitored by some lieutenants who believed the rumors. The two injured patients were not even allowed to have any interactions with each other, lest the rumors become "true" and cause bigger problems.

Liu Xiaojie's shortcomings were undoubtedly revealed at this time - he did not have enough prestige in the army and could not control the overall situation. Except for his close generals, many soldiers were not under his control.

Seeing that the situation in Guiyan City was not good enough, but there was no reply to the letter sent to the capital, Liu Xiaojie was extremely worried.

But if Gu Huaijun could not be found, the rumor could not be dispelled.

As long as rumors persist, he will be trapped in a quagmire.

On this day, Shen Jingyan, who had been silent for a long time, ordered the secret guard to give something to Liu Xiaojie. The secret guard went through a lot of hard work to avoid the eyes of the lieutenants and handed a gecko with a broken tail into Liu Xiaojie's hands. .

Liu Xiaojie covered the newly scabbed wound and murmured to himself: "You are asking me to cut off my tail to save myself? So what is a tail? How to save myself?"

But the secret guard had disappeared and no more information could be left behind.

Liu Xiaojie shut himself up in the room and thought for a long time, and finally understood the key.

As a result, the news that Liu Xiaojie was seriously injured and in critical condition spread like wildfire, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

And this chaos also surprised some people.

Then, Shen Jingyan handed Liu Xiaojie a token and a list. The list was the manpower deployed by Chang Sun Tao in Guiyan City, and the token could be used to dispatch them.

With these two magic weapons, some people can be quietly controlled before a bigger crisis comes.

The entire situation in Guiyan City could be stabilized.

But if there is no support from the capital, collapse will only happen sooner or later.

Lu Mingyu and his party finally arrived in the capital after drifting on the sea for more than half a month.

When Mr. Feng received the news, he immediately ran out of the political hall, even his shoes ran away, without stopping.

I even forgot to take the sedan chair and ran all the way to the pier.

The ship sailed directly into the moat and stopped at the royal pier.

The group of people got off the boat one after another, but Mr. Feng still saw the little wife he missed so much at a glance. Without taking a rest, he put his hands to his mouth and shouted breathlessly: "Madam!"

Xiaoqian also saw him, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she picked up her skirt and ran towards him.

Everyone just stood on the shore, looking at the two people flying towards each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Madam!" Mr. Feng's excitement was palpable. He was like a big boy, without caring about his status and dignity. He wore an official uniform and hugged his little lady.

The joy of reunion quietly spread between the two.

Countless thoughts that I have been suppressing day and night also found sustenance at this time.

Mr. Feng hugged Xiao Qian and spun around for a few times before putting him down. He put his arm around her waist and held her face with the other, choking with sobs and saying, "Let me, husband, take a good look at you."

After a while, he said with red eyes: "I have lost a lot of weight."

Xiaoqian held his hand, put her cheek on his palm, and showed a reassuring smile.

Mr. Feng asked her: "Why don't you speak? Have you forgotten your husband?"

Xiao Qian shook her head, but hugged his waist, greedily inhaling his unique smell.

Countless people looked here, but Mr. Feng seemed unaware, hugging his little lady tightly, raising the corners of his lips, curling his eyes, and smiled.

It seems that the child who has been waiting for a long time has finally returned home.
