Although Tao Xiu had been here for several months, he had never asked to read a letter. How could the contents of a letter be so calm and unflustered?

He thought he was a tough guy, but he wasn't a brainless one. Naturally, he could tell that the Emperor and Lord Tao had realized something, but why couldn't he tell?

Tawau interrupted General Ying's thoughts. "General Ying, please take us to see the person in charge of the letters."

"Your Highness, Lord Tao, please follow me."

As they walked, they continued to talk, "The person in charge of the letters was a general who had done a great service in the past, because after spending a leg in a war, he could no longer go to the battlefield. His Majesty originally wanted him to return home to be conferred a title, so he has always been respected by the soldiers. However, he insisted on staying at the border to report to the imperial government, making it easier for him to become the recipient of letters ten years ago. "

Following General Ying's lead, the two of them arrived at the backyard of a general's mansion. They could hear the pigeons' cooing from afar. When they entered, they saw an old man sitting on a wooden chair. The old man's face was in disarray, and when he saw their expressions, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly turned to the two and said, "This old man greets Your Highness. Please forgive this old man for not kneeling before you, General Tao."

Jun Xiaotian glanced at Tao Xiu, and then walked over to the old man, "There's no need to be so distant. You are a meritorious general of my Yao Chi Country. I should be the one paying my respects to you."

At this time, Tao Xiu smiled as he walked over, deliberately moving closer to the old man. "You really deserve to die!"

The lackey moved faster than Tao Xiu had said. His hand formed a claw and wrapped around the old man's neck. Jun Xiaotian also took action, sealing several large arteries in the old man's body.

"Your Highness, Lord Tao, this is …"

Jun Xiaotian sneered, "General Ying, go kill him!"

"What?" Your Highness, he is a meritorious official, how can he be like this? How can we kill the loyal? "

He was so scared that his face turned pale, and at the same time, he took a few steps back. He looked at Jun Xiaotian in bewilderment and bewilderment, and although he had killed countless people, he had never killed a loyal official, let alone an old general whom he respected so much.

"Your Majesty, General Ying is still General Ying."

The reason why he said that was to test if this General Ying was up to no good. Now, it seemed that he had thought too much into it. His expression softened as he said, "General Ying, you don't have to feel disheartened so quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He then lifted his hand to feel the old man's face, and indeed, he felt the slight protrusion, and with a wave of his hand, a human skin mask appeared in his hand. And this time, his subordinate was an old man in his sixties, a man who was clearly twenty years old. His eyes were glaring at Tao Xiu, and from the shape of his mouth, it could be seen that he was saying, "My disguise was flawless, how did you discover it?"

Tao Xiu loosened his grip and the human skin mask fell to the ground. He didn't even look at the mask as he walked towards the shocked General Ying. "So, should we kill him?"

He then looked Jun Xiaotian in the eye, "Your act is not bad, but it's a pity that you forgot that the old general crippled his own leg ten years ago. The old general had never even seen His Majesty or me, and even if you knew that we were here, you wouldn't be so sure of our identities."

"I will kill you! How dare you pretend to be the old general!"

General Ying drew his sword and rushed towards Jun Xiao Tian, shouting and shouting. He was about to swing his blade down when he realized something, and looked back at Jun Xiao Tian: "Does His Majesty wish him to question him?"

Jun Xiaotian replied coldly, "No need!"

When he was stopped, he used his mouth to shout, "You can't kill me! I am!"

"Ka Cha!"

General Ying had already cut down the gap between the lines and only then did he vent his hatred. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, "General, I was unable to investigate this clearly. I plead for Your Highness to punish me."

"Get up!"

"Please punish me!"

Tao Xiu smiled and walked over to support General Ying. He held his head in his hands as he smiled and said, "General Ying, don't blame yourself. Such a person is cunning, just watch out in the future.

General Ying shivered as he did not expect that Tao Xiu would be so vicious. However, this was indeed a wise choice for Little Rascal, so he nodded immediately.

Jun Xiao Tian and Tao Xiu sat at the same table. Tao Xiu asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why didn't you leave that person to interrogate him about the matter?"

"Hehe, the always smart Tao Xiu can't understand why. As a gap between the two of them, how can one just ask about something after torture? Staying for a moment longer is another risk. Furthermore, I always feel like that person is not an ordinary character, so no matter what his true identity is, we cannot let him go. "

The smile was warm and had a hint of helplessness.

Tao Xiu poured a glass of water for Jun Xiaotian and smiled gently, "Your Majesty is becoming more and more like a king, more and more knowing how to scheme. It is indeed the fortune of Yaochi Nation. "

"Actually, both you and I know that the most suitable person to be the emperor is the second disciple, Yuan Yuan. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the title of emperor, and if it were me, I wouldn't have come here to train for the sake of carrying the burden on my shoulders."

Jun Xiao Tian spoke with a touch of sadness. He didn't like being in a high position, but he was his big brother. How could he refuse?

"Haha." For His Majesty to have such a dejected expression is truly strange. I wonder if the Second Prince is happy to be a bandit today? "

Yes, it's been a long time since there's news of Second Brother, I wonder if he's done playing yet. Now that we brothers are not by Imperial Father's side, I'm afraid Imperial Father is very busy, right? Fortunately, Third Sister and Fourth Sister are still young, so I can accompany them more. "

Although Jun Xiaotian's father had many concubines, only his mother was allowed to give birth to an imperial heir. The Imperial Palace had been peaceful for many years, but for some reason, Jun Xiaotian still felt a sense of unease, as if something was about to happen. He couldn't help but sigh at the memory of his loved ones.

"The day after tomorrow. Go back!"

How could Tao Xiu not see the longing in Jun Xiaotian's heart? As long as it was his wish, he would do it for him without any hesitation. Moreover, Qi Tian was in danger, so it was better for him to return as soon as possible.

But how could he leave the tense situation to General Ying alone? He could not leave, and he knew about Tao Xiu's concern for him, but if the monarch of the imperial court could not protect his homeland, then how could he benefit the people of Dawn. Looking at Tao Xiu, who could not refuse, he turned his face away and said, "We'll talk about it in a month!"

Ten days later at night. Tawau was uncharacteristically unable to sleep. It's anxiety. It's not right. He stood up and walked to the door of Jun Xiaotian's room. The hall was pitch black, and not a single lantern was left behind. Even the guards were nowhere to be seen. With a start, he rushed out the door. There were no traces of a fight in the room. Jun Xiaotian was lying beside the table with a stack of documents. It seemed like he had fallen asleep.
