(half a month later)

"...The attack was the second prince's crazy move. He was not actually targeting Daxia, but just to fight with the third prince."

"The third prince won the appreciation of the king because of the capture of Shipo City. The king is no longer there. This time the king lost his physical and mental health and decided to pass the throne to the third prince."

"The second prince is unwilling to give up, and he also needs to do something big to win the king's favor."

"The king has beheaded the second prince to General Zhong for apologizing, and is willing to add a thousand horses to the contract..."

When Zhu Yongnian got here, he put together the booklet in his hand and looked at Zhong Changrong lying on the bed.

"The censors have accepted the apology from King Xiliang, so they will not launch a confrontation again. General Zhong, can you accept it?"

Before Zhong Changrong could speak, he would first express his point of view.

"If General Zhong, you don't agree, I will convince them."

He aggravated his tone in persuasion.

Zhong Changrong, who was lying on the bed, showed a smile. He knew what Zhu Yong meant and had to fight with Xiliang. Although there were court officials responsible, Zhong Changrong was the final decision.

This is the queen's will.

"Thank you, Lord Zhu." Zhong Changrong said, looking at a head on the table next to him. This was the head of the Second Prince of Xiliang. "This matter will be enough."

Zhu Yong asked again: "General Zhong, don't have any scruples."

Zhong Changrong shook his head: "No, it is correct to stop the war here. We have already got what we want. If we continue to fight, it will be revenge on Xiliang and disaster on Daxia."

Zhu Yong confirmed his intentions and nodded: "I understand, I will go and settle this matter with the adults."

Zhong Changrong said, "Please wait." After that, he shouted to Xiaoshan.

Someone kicked and beaten outside the door.

"Xiaoshan, give Yu Shang's investigation to Lord Zhu."

Upon hearing the order, Xiaoshan hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms.

Zhu Yong took it.

"We met a businessman who claimed to be a Daxia in Xiliang. When he wanted to catch him, he suddenly committed suicide." Zhong Changrong said, "After investigation, the merchant's surname is Yu, born in Yunzhong County, and his family is in Beijing. For more than ten years, he has been in Beijing and doing business with Yunzhong County."

Zhu Yong looked at the records and portraits in the booklet and outlined a very common and ordinary little businessman. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhong Changrong and waited for him to continue talking.

Zhong Changrong was silent, paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't know what to say. I'm just a guess. Daxia merchants do do business with Xiliang people, and some merchants sneak into Xiliang territory, but that was when there was no war. Now, a Daxia merchant appeared in Xiliang territory, and committed suicide when he was about to be arrested by Daxia people. I think he has a problem, and I'm worried-"

He looked at Zhu Yong.

"This problem is in the capital."

Zhu Yong felt something and looked at Yu Shang's portrait again.

"And," Zhong Changrong said again, "Although the King of Xiliang said that the Second Prince attacked me was an accident, and the Second Prince didn't know it was me, but I just bumped into it, but I always feel that there is still something wrong with this attack."

Zhu Yong looked up at him: "General Zhong thinks this is actually a conspiracy against you?"

Zhong Changrong smiled: "I've been sleeping in the past half month and I'm thinking a little too much. I also thought of Shipo City."

Zhu Yong frowned and said, "The general means that there is a problem with the capture of Shipo City?"

Zhong Changrong shook his head and nodded: "I know that no matter how tight the defense is, there will be loopholes. I have checked that Shipo City was raided and captured, but there may be problems, but there may be problems."

He smiled bitterly when he said this.

"But all I can say is that I think there is no evidence or anything."

Zhu Yong smiled, put away the booklet, and said, "The general does not need to provide it. The responsibility of our guard department is to ask questions from the Queen. We will do everything else. General, don't worry, I will pass it to the guard department in the capital immediately and let them investigate it secretly."

Zhong Changrong sighed with gratitude: "I was always worried about the queen, the general was gone, and she did not have a solid family. Now I feel relieved that she is not only one."

Zhu Yong smiled and said, "The general is too worried. After the queen is a country, she will never be alone." Looking at Zhong Changrong's weak face, she no longer said anything, bowed and said, "General, have a good rest."

Zhong Changrong nodded and watched Zhu Yong walk out.

"General, do you want to drink water?" Xiaoshan asked.

Zhong Changrong snorted: "It's rare that I can enjoy the service of Captain Xiaoshan."

Xiaoshan picked up the teapot beside him and poured water, saying, "It's not considered serving, a bowl of water."

He walked over with water, sat by the bed, helped Zhong Changrong up and fed him, looked at Zhong Changrong's pale face and sighed.

This kid also knew that he felt sorry for him, and Zhong Changrong sighed.

"I don't know how my master is now. When he left, his face turned paler than yours." Xiaoshan said sadly. Gu Yan.

Zhong Changrong endured that he did not spray the water on Xiaoshan's face, swallowed it, and said, "Don't worry, someone can take care of him better than you."

When Zhong Changrong said this, he did not feel happy, but was stunned and even more angry.

That brat won’t really let A Zhao take care of him!

The two of them were distracted, and the window slammed, and someone flipped in—

Xiaoshan stood up, and the water in his hand splashed Zhong Changrong with a look of "Who!"

Then I saw the person by the window, which was a woman.

As Zhong Changrong's confidant, Xiaoshan naturally knew Kapok Hong's identity. He put away the attack, but was still on guard.

Zhong Changrong closed his eyes: "Get out."

Xiaoshan also shouted, "Did you hear that? General asked me to go out, yes, go out."

Although she knew that Zhong Changrong had a bad attitude towards this woman, she thought that she attacked the Xiliang royal court and solved the crisis of Xie Yanlai. She was Xiaoye's savior, and Xiaoshan did not want to speak ill of her.

Zhong Changrong opened his eyes and looked at Xiaoshan: "I'll let you get out."

Xiaoshan shook his sleeves: "General, you are really not as caring as Xiao Master at all. Don't let me serve you next time." After that, he went out.

Zhong Changrong exhaled: "I can't stand your service either."

Kapok Hong walked over with a smile, looked at Zhong Changrong with tea left on his face, and asked with concern: "Do you need me to wipe your face?"

Zhong Changrong said coldly: "No need."

But he didn't wipe it himself. His left arm was tied with a wound cloth, and it was stiff and unable to move. His right arm was empty.

At the last moment of the ambush, reinforcements came to defeat the Xiliang soldiers. Zhong Changrong survived but lost his right arm.

Kapok Hong looked at his right arm and said, "I'm here to remind you to tell Ah Zhao about this."

Zhong Changrong’s first thought was to refuse, and he could not let A Zhao feel sad for him or worry—

"So that she knows your situation." Kapok Hong continued, "decide whether to change the candidates to avoid a crisis in the border army."

Zhong Changrong stiffened and took a deep breath. Yes, this is the most important thing. He is already disabled, and there may be problems with the border army, and this problem also involves the capital.

"Okay." He said, "tell her immediately, including the attacks, and tell her in detail."

After saying that, he glanced at Kapokhong.

"You didn't tell her in advance? I thought you told her the moment I had an accident."

Kapok Hong smiled and said, "I don't want to worry about her. Besides, there is nothing to worry about in this matter. Even if you die, I will still be here."

Zhong Changrong swallowed what he wanted to say.

Kapok Hong reminded him, turned around and left the window, and the indoor quiet returned to tranquility, but Zhong Changrong still couldn't fall asleep because there were noisy sounds outside, and many people were walking around, mixed with shouts.

"Prince Liang——"

"Person Liang, you are back--"

One after another, it seemed that many people were calling this name.

Nowadays, Xie Yanlai of the border army is a legend, and Liang Qiang can be called the second one. Although he did not have such a terrifying achievement as capturing the King of Xiliang alive, he was awarded the title of guerrilla general after only two years of hard work. During this period, he made mistakes and was punished and demoted, but this added to the legendary nature.

This time, Zhong Changrong was saved, and Liang Qiang became more famous among the border troops.

Liang Qiang walked into the room and bowed to Zhong Changrong on the bed: "General, General, the general has already visited him in person, and the Xiliang royal court has been moved away."

He was wearing a military robe and wrapped in a cloak, which looked normal, but Zhong Changrong knew that the young general rushed into the killing field alone. After a fight, he was scarred and was also carried back.

Zhong Changrong said: "I haven't thanked Captain Liang for helping him."

Liang Qiang bowed again: "The last general dare not take it as the last general, killing the enemy is the last general's duty."

The room was quiet again, and Liang Qiang could feel the general lying on the bed lingering on him. The gaze was not a little grateful, but instead looked coldly.

"What a coincidence." Zhong Changrong's voice sounded again, "Why was Captain Liang saving me?"

Someone actually asked about this matter, but it was answered immediately, because Liang Qiang kept begging Zhong Changrong to ask for a crime and make meritorious service, but Zhong Changrong refused. Liang Qiang was persistent in chasing Zhong Changrong all the time, so he discovered that Zhong Changrong was attacked and promptly warned to attract reinforcements.

Liang Qiang doesn't need to say this, everyone knows it.

Liang Qiang raised his head, looked at Zhong Changrong with a calm expression, and said something that everyone knows.

"Because someone lets you die," he said, "but I didn't agree."
