Qian Liu sobbed, "Although my father is not very good to me, he is still my family after all. And my mother has always loved me..."
Garrison commandant of Cangnan City? Yun Shang's hand trembled. When she first arrived at Cangnan City, she found that Luo Qingyan lived in Chengshou Mansion and there was no one else in the mansion. She was curious, wondering why the garrison commandant of Cangnan City didn't live in Chengshou Mansion.
Later, a servant told her that the garrison commandant of Cangnan City had been cut down from his horse by Luo Qingyan.
At that time, she felt that Luo Qingyan had never indiscriminately killed innocent people. Since he had killed that person, it must be that person's fault. Maybe Luo Qingyan killed him as warning to others. Therefore, she didn't ask any more.
However, she didn't expect that Qian Liu had anything to do with the garrison commandant of Cangnan city and that she was the daughter of his. In this case, a lot of things could be explained.
Yun Shang frowned and looked at Qian Liu.
Yun Shang always felt that Qian Liu didn't betray her at the very beginning. When Qian Liu first came to her, she was also very loyal to her. She even didn't complain about being hurt so badly for Yun Shang.
And just as Yun Shang had said, if Qian Liu had worked for Su Qi from the beginning, she could've killed her directly after gaining her trust. Qian Liu had been with her for a long time, and Yun Shang was not wary of her at all. It was not difficult for Qian Liu to kill her.
But Qian Liu didn't do that. Moreover, the way she exposed herself in front of Su Qi was very easy to arouse suspicion. If she had had a secret connection with Su Qi, she could've spread the news in many ways that would not make herself suspicious. This meant that Qian Liu and Su Qi were not familiar with each other before.
Why did Qian Liu suddenly unite with Su Qi?
This question had been troubling Yun Shang for a long time, and she finally had an explanation.
"Qian Liu, do you know what I hate the most after being with me for so long?" Yun Shang looked up at Qian Liu and said in a calm voice.
Qian Liu didn't respond. Yun Shang didn't expect her to answer, so she continued indifferently, "Betrayal. What I hate most is being betrayed. You have been in Prince Rui's mansion for so long. How could you not know what kind of person His Highness is? If your father hadn't done anything wrong, His Highness wouldn't have killed innocent people. Besides, your other families have just been exiled or enslaved. If you had told me the truth, I might've come up with some idea. But you've blocked the way yourself."
Qian Liu's face turned paler. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I'm willing to be punished. But please beg His Highness for mercy and let go of my other families..."
Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and said, "I have my own plan. Don't worry. I won't kill you for the time being. When His Highness comes back, I will ask him clearly and give you an explanation."
Qian Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed
elatives. If they die in the battlefield, someone will be sad for them."
Blue veins stood out on Luo Qingyan's forehead. He sneered and said, "The army of the State of Yelang had been outside the city when I entered Cangnan City. But the performance Zhou Jingzhong arranged at the reception banquet shocked me. He locked dozens of soldiers in a cage with a wild lion, letting them fight with the lion. When I was patrolling the military camp, I saw him take the lead to drink and gamble. And he even brought a group of prostitutes into the military camp for him and some other generals to play with and none of those prostitutes survived. I asked him what he would do if the State of Yelang attacked at this time? Zhou Jingzhong said that there were so many low-ranked soldiers who were still alive and they could fight the enemy on the front line. And he even asked me to play with him..."
Yun Shang was in a daze. She only knew that Luo Qingyan killed him because he killed innocent people. She didn't expect that Zhou Jingzhou would be such an evil... Not to mention Luo Qingyan, who had been struggling in the military camp and had a good relationship with the soldiers. Even if she saw it, she would be furious.
Yun Shang thought for a long time and turned to Qian Zhuo, "Tell Qian Liu everything His Highness said just now."
Qian Zhuo answered in a low voice.
Yun Shang then turned around and said, "But his families shouldn't been involved. Although he has committed a heinous crime, his families are innocent. His Highness, please let them go."
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Luo Qingyan nodded gently. "It's up to you."
Yun Shang looked up and winked at Qian Shang. Qian Shang left in a hurry.
Yun Shang smiled and told Qin Yi to prepare lunch.
Before lunch was ready, Yun Shang saw a soldier coming in a hurry. He knelt down in front of Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Highness, the soldiers in Lingxi City rioted and they have arrested the seventh prince. Now General Su Ruhai has led the soldiers to attack the State of Yelang."
