Chapter 1147: Two Peaches Kill Three

Bi Linglong refused directly: “Now the soldiers are fighting, how can I leave, not to mention that Lord Situ is here, why should I worry about my safety. On the contrary, if the war situation here collapses, I will not be safe even if I return to the capital.”

Du Jian heard this and advised: “Your Majesty’s words are indeed reasonable, but you have not considered the problem of traitors. Why was the Fenglao Pass, which was originally as solid as a rock, suddenly breached at night? Obviously, there are traitors in the pass, and their status is not low. If they come, I may not be able to protect Your Majesty.”

“Do you mean that there are problems with the other eight dukes?” Bi Linglong frowned. This time she led the army in person. Because the status and prestige of the eight dukes were too high, she was afraid of problems if they stayed in the capital, so she took them all with her and could use their cultivation to participate in the battle. Of course,

she has always been wary of the eight dukes of the old era in her heart, except that Du Jian’s son used to be the middle son of the prince’s Eastern Palace, and she was in charge of various government affairs in the Eastern Palace, so the two sides have some friendship.

In addition, the Grand Protector Yu Rui is from the Yu family, and Zu An and Yu Yanluo have a relationship, so she also trusts Yu Rui.

So she asked Du Jian and Yu Rui to secretly monitor the general Cheng Yuan and the Grand Tutor Zhuang He. As for why there are only four of the eight gentlemen left, it is because the other four have been dealt with by A Zu.

Could it be that Cheng Yuan and Zhuang He really became traitors today?

“Those people are indeed suspicious. Now that such a big thing has happened in Guanzhong, they have not come out to take charge of the situation. There must be a problem.” Du Jian replied.

“Old Du, it is not a good habit to say bad things about people behind their backs.” A cold snort sounded, and then a figure fell from the sky, and it was the Grand Tutor Zhuang He.

“Yes, I was just organizing resistance in the army. When they are on the right track, I will rush over immediately. I am not like Lord Du who does nothing and runs over so quickly.” An old man came from another direction, the general Cheng Yuan.

Du Jian’s face remained calm: “I’m just telling the truth. Now that Fenglao Pass has suddenly fallen, all the formations in the city have become ineffective. Obviously there is a traitor. Moreover, he can quietly open the city gate and destroy those formations. Obviously, he is a person with very high cultivation and status.”

Zhuang He’s face turned cold: “Are you trying to say that we are the traitor?”

Cheng Yuan also narrowed his eyes and stared at Du Jian coldly.

“I’m just stating the most reasonable speculation,” Du Jian protected Bi Linglong, “As far as I know, Brother Zhuang had a conflict with the Regent in the street. He has always been dissatisfied with the Regent, so naturally he will not obey His Majesty.”

Bi Linglong remembered this. Zhuang He openly stood on the opposite side of A Zu, but A Zu used thunderous means to kill the eight princes of the royal family, so he had to succumb to reality.

Zhuang He’s old face instantly turned as pale as liver: “Everything I did at that time was just for state affairs. I have no personal grudge with the Regent. Don’t spread rumors to confuse the public.”

“I am only targeting the matter, not the person, and making a reasonable guess about what happened today.” Du Jian replied.

General Cheng Yuan also spoke: “Brother Du, you have mentioned Brother Zhuang by name, how can you still target the matter, not the person? In my opinion, you are not without suspicion. You are responsible for guarding the formation in the city. You are the most suspicious if something goes wrong.”

“The traitor is deliberate and scheming, so I can’t guard against it,” Du Jian retorted, “Besides, you are obviously responsible for the safety of the city gate. Now that the army has entered the city, who knows if you let it in.”

“Enough!” Bi Linglong’s face was cold. Of course, she didn’t completely trust these eight gentlemen, but it was indeed a time to use people before. The cultivation of the eight gentlemen was outstanding in the court, and they needed strong men to take charge.

Of course, whether it is the formation or the city gate, they are not the ones responsible for it. It’s just that each place needs to be equipped with corresponding strong men for support at any time. They are the kind of people who are ready to provide support at any time.

“Now when life and death are at stake, it’s ridiculous to still be fighting here!”

Du Jian couldn’t help but said, “Your Majesty, if you don’t find the traitor, who knows if he will turn against us at the critical moment and make us fail.”

Zhuang He scolded, “Du, you keep calling me a traitor. I think you are the most like a traitor!”

“Old man, what did you say!” Du Jian was also furious. The two of them instantly became more aggressive, as if they were ready to duel at any time.

“That’s enough!” Bi Linglong was overwhelmed by the verbal battle between the two. Everyone made sense and everyone was suspicious, but she was smart after all, and she quickly came up with a plan. “It’s easy to tell who is the traitor. Now you all go down together to help our soldiers. Whoever kills more rebel masters is the least likely to be a traitor.”

The three old men fell silent. They also admired Bi Linglong’s scheming. Now the rebels have already won. If they go down to fight at this time, they will definitely be hated by the 18-way anti-king army. How could a real traitor do such a thing when victory is in sight? General

Cheng Yuan said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, this plan is very good, but I am worried that after I leave, the real traitor will take the opportunity to hold Your Majesty hostage, which will be troublesome.”

Du Jian said unhappily: “Mr. Cheng, you can talk if you want to. Why are you looking at me?”

Zhuang He sneered: “Why, you know best.”

“Old man, you are looking for training!” Du Jian was furious, and the two of them quickly started to curse.

Seeing the three white-haired old men quarreling, Bi Linglong felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Her method of distinguishing was very simple. She thought that one of the three was a traitor, so he would definitely be exposed.

If he was not exposed, it would be a good thing to really follow the order and rush to the front line, so that a traitor could be temporarily used for her own benefit.

But now the three people are quarreling fiercely here. Although they all speak righteously, they all avoid executing her orders.

There is only one possibility, that all three are traitors!

She couldn’t help but feel a little desperate. Originally, she trusted Du Jian the most among the three. After all, he had a deep connection with the East Palace. She didn’t expect that even he would betray her now.

But she knew that now was not the time to think about these things. Now the only thing she could use was that the three people seemed to not know each other’s identities.

Maybe they were relying on different vassal kings, or maybe their status was too high. For safety reasons, the rebels did not reveal the identities of other traitors to them…

So she had to find a way to provoke the three people to kill each other before she had a chance.

So she said loudly: “Du Situ, General Cheng, you take down Master Zhuang first!”

Zhuang He was shocked and angry: “Your Majesty, you doubt me?”

“What Du Situ said does make sense. You have always been dissatisfied with the Regent and me. It is indeed the most likely possibility, but you don’t have to worry. If it is found out later that you are wronged, I will personally apologize to you!” Bi Linglong swept her phoenix eyes over Du and Cheng, “Why don’t you do it?”

Du Jian and Cheng Yuan were both happy. What they were most worried about before was that they would be furious because of their identities and end up fighting one against two. Now they took the opportunity to get rid of Zhuang He first, and they would not be afraid of the remaining one-on-one.

So they attacked Zhuang He from the left and

the right with a tacit understanding. Zhuang He blocked left and right while shouting: “Your Majesty, you don’t know loyalty and you are destroying the Great Wall!”

But he soon couldn’t shout anymore, because the two attacked too quickly, and he was in danger and might die at any time.

Seeing that the two people’s moves were all killing moves, Bi Linglong looked calm, just as expected.

At this time, a long sigh sounded: “You three idiots, you are already old, but you were fooled by a little girl.”
