How can a man look so good when he laughs!

This was the living embodiment of disaster.

"Yuwen He, you'd better not laugh in the future." Xiao Ruyue said cautiously, while clutching her chest.

"Hmm?"

He saw a hint of amusement in her eyes.

The empress stared at him and said solemnly, "That's because beauties bring disaster to us."

The description didn't seem accurate. She corrected him, "No. Blue Face is the bane of disasters."

"Why didn't you say it was bewitching?"

The empress tilted her head and thought it over. "That makes sense. It's to bewitch people's hearts."

For a moment, Ye Xiao was speechless.

However, he found it extremely funny.

"Whatever Elder Sister Xiao says is what it is."

The empress shook her head unhappily.

Just as they were talking, someone hurried in from outside, holding a piece of paper with many folds on it. "Your Majesty, the Yanzhou City's Great General has sent a message, something has happened!"

Yuwen He's face slightly darkened as he took the message from the man.

He skimmed through the letter and quickly folded the paper. He didn't seem to read it seriously, but a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

"What happened?" Xiao Ruyue could not help but ask.

She was the closest to Yuwen He, and it could be said that she was the person who understood him the most.

Yuwen He's expression told her that the Gu worm's disaster could indeed be considered a disaster, but the matter was probably not as simple as the Gu worm's problem.

Yuwen He did not speak, and handed the creed over to her.

Xiao Ruyue took the letter and looked at it, her face turning serious.

The person who sent the letter in said, "The Gu worms outside the Yanzhou City are causing a ruckus again. The general has already ordered everyone to retreat into the city and has also given the military order that no one is allowed to cross the city. Otherwise, they will be dealt with according to military law."

Although the letter was short on words, it depicted Yanzhou's situation in great detail, causing people to be extremely worried.

When Tang Jingzhi, Chong Yang and the others finished packing up their things, what they saw was a scene like this: The Emperor and Empress were both solemn and did not say a word, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Knowing that the situation wasn't going well, they all looked towards the person who delivered the letter.

The messenger was most likely in charge of watching over the pigeons, so he lowered his head immediately when he was stared at by so many people.

But after a while, he still raised his head a little and observed Yuwen He's expression, before saying, "Your Majesty, right now, the morale of the troops is shaken, is that right?"

"Is it what?" Without waiting for the messenger to finish speaking, Yuwen He cut him off: "Do you want to say that we will switch generals before the battle or do you want us to go back to take charge of the situation?"

That person did not seem to expect that a single word from him would anger Long Yan so much that he knelt down in front of Yuwen He in fright. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger! This little one has misspoken, this little one deserves to die! "

"Since you know you deserve to die, why don't you make a move!" Yuwen He's expression became even colder.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Xiao Ruyue was startled, and the hand she was using to hold the letter couldn't help but tighten. However, because of this small action, she seemed to have discovered something. A flash of astonishment appeared in her eyes, and she folded the letter.

This letter was fake.

Because this letter was not Yuwen He's special Plum Blossom Paper.

Before leaving the Yanzhou, Yuwen He had specially left a special Plum Blossom Note for the Great General. When necessary, the special Plum Blossom Paper was the best evidence.

Yuwen He was extremely sharp, he could immediately tell whether this letter was something that he had personally given to his brother or not with a single glance.

From the looks of it, this letter did not come from the great general at all, nor did it come from the Yanzhou.

This letter must have been forged by someone who wanted to imitate the general's handwriting, and then bought the messenger responsible for taking care of the pigeons, hoping to be delivered by hand.

Being betrayed by someone he trusted by his side, no wonder Yuwen He was so angry.

Yuwen He turned his body, the corner of his eyes falling on the messenger, "Did you not hear what we just said?"

The messenger was scared witless by Yuwen He's gaze. He turned his face away uneasily and retreated unconsciously.

Chong Yang seemed to have understood something, and blocked off his left side in one go. The messenger turned around and tried to move to his right, but Chong Yue appeared without a sound on his right.

Just as he was about to retreat, he felt something hit his back. He turned around to see Tang Divine Doctor, whose face was as white as jade, standing behind him with his arms crossed against his chest.

Tang Jingzhi looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, as if saying: "You can try and see if you can escape from me."

The thing that was hitting the messenger's back was not some object, it was Tang Jingzhi's dagger that was still in his hand.

If Tang Jingzhi had taken out his dagger, he would have died.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate is just a errand boy to deliver letters!"

"You said yourself that you deserved death. Then do it. If you let my men do it, it would be very difficult for you to leave an intact corpse."

Yuwen He interrupted him, her tone remained indifferent, but it was filled with a rare killing intent.

The messenger's legs gave way and he fell to his knees. "Your Majesty, your subordinate was lost in a trance for a while. Your subordinate understands her wrongs!"

"I don't need a person who is undecided on both sides."

Yuwen He interrupted him at a leisurely pace, "Chong Yue, bring him to a place where he should go, don't let him dirty our place."

"Yes sir!" Chong Yang replied loudly, each pulling up the messenger at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I was just momentarily unable to resist the temptation. I was muddle-headed for a moment. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"I know my wrongs! Your Majesty, I know my wrongs! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The person who delivered the letter shouted at the top of his lungs. Yuwen He was expressionless, and the look in his eyes were even colder than frost.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

A pin drop could be heard.

Even Tang Jingzhi did not say anything.

Yuwen He was just angry, that's why he went to find trouble.

For a moment no one spoke.

Xiao Ruyue tugged on Yuwen He's sleeve, "I know you're angry, but it's not your fault for Thirteen. Don't tell me you're still going to blame yourself for your charm and bewitchment? A person who cannot keep his bottom line is not worth getting angry at. "

This person most likely saw that Thirteen didn't get killed after betraying him, so he was lucky.

However, where did all this luck come from, and where did all this benefit come from for nothing?

This person was just making excuses for himself due to his greed.

If he could send a fake letter just because he was distracted for a moment, and give him more money to poison the water next time, wouldn't he be lost for a while as well?

Seeing that the situation was bad, Tang Jingzhi retreated to the door, prepared to go out and hide, but in the end he heard Xiao Ruyue bragging, and almost fell down.

Esteemed empress, isn't it inappropriate for you to praise your husband so highly?

But then he thought, other than her, who else in the world would dare to talk to Yuwen He like that when he was angry?

The answer is: no.

The coldness on Yuwen He's face lessened a little, as if he was amused by his family's bold empress.

Tang Jingzhi then boldly went out to seek shelter.

The others left as well, leaving Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue behind.

Yuwen He suddenly said: "That letter was prepared by me, and was secretly found by me to contact him."

Xiao Ruyue swallowed back the words that were about to leave her mouth.

Was it a letter he had prepared?

In other words, he already knew that this person was indecisive and could be bribed by someone with ulterior motives at any time, that's why he made his move in advance?!

Indeed, it was in accordance with the old saying that pie would not fall from the sky.

If one day a plain white meat pie fell down, then it would likely be a trap.

poisonous.

"What are Elder Sister Xiao's plans?" Yuwen He acted as if nothing had happened and continued to change the topic, the corner of her mouth had a faint smile, as though the person who was going to freeze to death was not him.

This person changed his expression faster than one would flip a book, Xiao Ruyue slowly got used to it.

"I think, since Thirteen was able to connect with Feng Yuting, it means that the interactions between them are not just once or twice. Our journey to the King's Court in Tatar is fraught with difficulties. Wouldn't it be better to have someone familiar with the road leading the way? "

When Yuwen He heard this, his brows slightly raised, and Xiao Ruyue continued, "Your Majesty did not grant thirteen deaths, but temporarily imprisoned him, wasn't it also because of this idea?"

Yuwen He agreed as he nodded his head and smiled.

He turned around and instructed the person at the door, "Go and invite Young Master Wang over."

"Yes."

This day was destined to never be peaceful.

However, Yuwen He still brought Xiao Ruyue to eat a hearty meal in Taibai Lou.

The empress's appetite was impressive as usual.

After the afternoon of the second day, everyone departed in separate directions. Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue had also changed into different clothes to disguise themselves.

The city gate looked exactly the same as before, but everyone who passed by felt that something was different. This feeling was like — someone was staring at you, but you couldn't find where the person who was staring at you was.

It was like a thorn in his back.

An old couple wearing shabby clothing passed through the city gate with crutches. The city guards seemed to have received some kind of hint as they went forward to stop them. The old couple was "invited" to the side of the shed.

In the shed, the soldiers searched the old couple, but they couldn't find what they were looking for, so they let them go.

The old couple sighed as they walked. "The world is turning cold with each passing day. Unfilial sons and grandchildren are unfortunate for their families."

The faces of the soldiers guarding the city gate were also ugly.

There was no trace of the person they were looking for. If the higher-ups were to blame, they could not afford to offend them.

However, there were also some smart ones who looked towards the hidden corner of the city gate, thinking: Those people are also guarding here. If they can't find them, then it would be hard to say whose responsibility they will be.

Not long after, a carriage arrived from outside the city. It was a carriage with two carriages on top of it, and the people sitting in the carriage seemed to be either rich or noble.

However, the city guards looked at each other and stopped the carriage. "Who are you?"

The coachman stopped the carriage. Without even looking at them, he turned his head towards the car and respectfully said, "Madam, there are people blocking our way. They won't let us enter the city."

"No worries, just show them the token." The soft voice of a woman came from the city, soft and seductive.

The bones of the soldiers guarding the city were about to break.

Unconsciously swallowing their saliva, the carriage driver took out a command medallion. With just a glance, they were all frightened to the point of kneeling down, "This lowly one doesn't know that a noble has arrived. Damn it!"

"Then can we still enter the city?"

"Yes, yes!" "Of course!"

With a loud guarantee, the carriage entered the city. The man in the shadows turned into a shadow and disappeared in a flash. After a while, the carriage appeared again. It was leaving the city, but suddenly there were a few more officer army dressed people blocking the carriage, asking to check on the carriage.

The coachman clashed with them again.

However, the female voice in the car rang out once again. It even opened the curtain in a generous manner, "If you all suspect that there's someone suspicious in my car, you can get on the car and search for them."

As he spoke, he instructed the coachman not to obstruct him.

In the middle, there was a woman who wore silk and silk clothing and her hair was tied up into a bun. She should be the leader, while there was also a lady on her left and right who was dressed as a maid. They did not look old, but their beauty could not be measured, so no matter how one looked at them, they could not get tired of it …

"What's the matter with you? "If you keep staring at that girl, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" The girl on the left with big eyes glared at him and angrily put down the curtain.
