Ye San had a dark face and couldn't find any words to refute.

Shangguan Ce was unreasonable and continued to emphasize and said, "You said just now that Xiao Hong did not agree to the general's proposal. This may be the reason why the general took the most wrong step. He privately agreed to a competition with He Hongwei! Although it was private, it was not as secret as when he met Xiao Hong before. It looked like a fair competition based on martial arts rules. The general wanted to give a powerful blow to the rebellion of the previous dynasty, but in fact, the general who is familiar with political affairs could not be unclear. As the royal family of the previous dynasty, He Hongwei was also the core figure of the rebellion of the previous dynasty. How much impact would the general meet with him at a special moment of turbulence in the dynasty!

What's more, it was rumored that he tied with He Hongwei, and the two were chatting and laughing... This news came to Chen Xuting's ears. If he had just been a little confused about the general he had always trusted, now I'm afraid that only anger will be left!—"

"The master just... just wanted--" Ye San couldn't help but refute, but his words were a little stuttering.

"I just want to use this to threaten Chen Xuting, and want to tell him that if you don't agree to my Northern Expedition request, I can still find someone else to cooperate, right?" Shangguan Ce took Ye San's head, and the more he spoke, the more angry he looked on his face. He put the water cup on the wooden table that was cut into half: "If the general was just obsessed with the Northern Expedition before, then he would have gone crazy if he dared to do this! As a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should have been loyal to the court and the emperor, how could he be surrendered and threatened the emperor! The general was so domineering and looked down on the emperor, which was completely a powerful minister. How could Chen Xuting not suspect that the general had the intention of rebellion! Fan Yanghou, you are also a well-educated person. You should know how ridiculous the general was doing this, and at that time, you were the only one who could persuade him to stop him. Why didn't you stop him!"

Ye San did not respond. He raised his head and looked at the beams of the pavilion. After a while, he said quietly: "It's because of this that Chen Xuting and you have conspired to harm the master?"

"You must be very surprised. Why was the court very calm after this incident? It seemed that nothing happened? It was because Chen Xuting kept all the memorials of impeachment of the general and did not issue them. However, since then, the general could no longer enter the palace. With the general's intelligence, he would not be unable to detect the dangers in it. However, he did not make any move to improve his relationship with Chen Xuting, but instead went to Shandong to recruit soldiers. In the eyes of those who are interested, isn't this evidence of the general's desire to continue to confront the court?"

Shangguan Ce tapped the wooden table with his hand and said in a deep voice: "So after you left Kyoto and went to Kunlun, Chen Xuting disguised himself and saw me in my mansion. The first sentence he said, "Is Fuchang Bo still my minister of the Great Zhou?" This sentence is heart-wrenching. This shows that the general's actions made Chen Xuting doubt the people of the Iron Blood Changhemen!

I also came from a family of officials. Since I was a child, I knew the king and the king were his relatives and teachers. Although I was under the command of the general, as a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, I was naturally loyal to Chen Xuting. What's more, Chen Xuting was not at fault in the Northern Expedition. Instead, the general forced each other step by step.

Ye San said angrily: "What a good man is not wrong! Chen Xuting personally took the hand of his master, made an appointment with his brother in public, and promised to hand over all the attack on the Northern Barbarians to his master, and he would do his best to ensure his guarantee... These words turned out to be fucking farts!"

"Times change, national affairs are difficult, and there are many things, and it is far from what people like you and I only focus on military affairs can understand." Shangguan Ce just made a simple defense and continued: "Chen Xuting first talked to me about General Ye and his concerns about the Iron Blood Changhemen. I repeatedly assured him that the General and Iron Blood Changhemen would never have the intention to rebel against the imperial court-"

Ye San snorted a few coldly.

"Then Chen Xuting said that all the officials in the court were excited and strongly requested to remove Ye Wenbo from his position as General of Peking. He could no longer suppress him and had to approve him. However, he was worried that this move would arouse the general's strong resistance and even cause civil strife, which would destroy the great situation created by more than ten years of hard work... As far as I know the state of the general at that time, this matter could really happen-"

"Shangguan Ce, how much do you know about your master? Just make a statement based on this!" Ye San's eyes were like a knife, stabbing Shangguan Ce's eyes, and a low growl came out from his throat: "For this, you will conspire with Chen Xuting. Use a trick to assassinate the master when he visits the grave again!"

Ye San's eyes were filled with brilliance. How could Shangguan Ce, an ordinary person, resist? But he did not hide, but closed his eyes and said, "At that time, I thought about the general's visit to the grave. With his current anxiety, he might sneak into the enemy's territory to visit the grave again, so it was me... who made suggestions to Chen Xuting, and secretly revealed this news to the Northern Barbarians while the general was visiting the grave, causing him to send troops to ambush the general.

In my opinion, the general's martial arts are unparalleled, and Ye Zhengbei's martial arts are also very strong. Although the Northern Barbarians also recruited some martial arts people, there were no other famous sects besides the Penglai Sect at that time, and there were no good players with very strong martial arts skills. No matter how many soldiers there were, it would be difficult to keep the two people who had returned with all their strength.

However, with the careful preparation of the Northern Barbarians, it may be difficult for the general to escape... At that time, Chen Xuting could force the general to return to the court to recuperate on the grounds that he was injured, so as to successfully get back the military power. The general could also calm himself down during the healing period and restore his previous wisdom... I made this suggestion at that time, and Chen Xuting happily agreed... But I never expected that what I waited for in the end was-"

Shangguan Ce paused intentionally, but Ye San did not respond. Shangguan Ce hesitated for a moment, did not open his eyes rashly, and had to continue saying: "The news of the murder of the general's father and son was shocked by the iron-blooded Changhemen. The Northern Barbarians even hung their heads on the city of Daming Mansion, which even angered the soldiers under the general. The generals led by Luo Dahui shouted that they would avenge the general and regain their heads burial...

You should have heard of the situation at that time. Most generals were clamoring to avenge the general, especially Li Mingzhe, who was the number one general under the general, and had a high prestige among the soldiers. Under his leadership, the morale of the army was intensified. I used all my skills to suppress it for two days and was exhausted. At this time, Chen Xuting sent someone to give me this handwriting-"

Shangguan Ce said, taking out a piece of yellowed old paper that was folded well but covered with moldy spots from his arms, and reached out to hand it over.

Ye San took it and opened it and saw that there were only four words written on the huge piece of paper: Go with the flow.

Ye San looked carefully and then, and said coldly: "This is not Chen Xuting's handwriting, and there is no seal on it."

"Chen Xuting is cautious in doing things, how could he give someone a handle?" Shangguan Ce smiled bitterly and said, "It was Cao Zhong who gave me this handwriting at that time. This must be the intention of the late emperor, and it must be true. What's more, I later checked the handwriting. It should be the hands of the imperial concubine at that time, and the current imperial concubine Liu Lingying...

Seeing this hand-in-hand, I realized that Chen Xuting's previous worries and restraint were all disguised. He played a good game, but at that time I was already in a difficult position, so I could only allow Li Mingzhe and others to summon troops to cross the Yellow River and attack Daming Mansion. At that time, I knew that this battle would be defeated, and I could not clear the blame for the death of the general and the defeat of the army, so I decided to pretend to die and live, but I did not expect-"

"I didn't expect I would come back early?" Ye San's tone was cold, like cold frost: "As you said, if you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, Xiao Zhou had long seen the private meeting between you and Chen Xuting. She told the master about this. Do you know what the master said? - He said, 'It's all his own brothers, don't worry.' He trusts you and has not taken any measures against you since then. You should be very clear about this."

Shangguan Ce was a little surprised, and he lowered his head and picked up the water cup.

"But Xiao Zhou was a little uneasy after all. Apart from his master, I was the one she trusted the most, so she left the barracks under the name of vacation, used her light skills to travel westward, and found me at Kunlun Sect... Unfortunately... when I rushed back to Luoyang, the master was already dead, and the news of the army's defeat at Daming Mansion City had also come..."

Ye San sighed with his legs, and his face showed deep regret. Then his tone suddenly turned cold: "Xiao Zhou reminded me in advance, and the master died when he was visiting the grave. This must be unrelated to you! Although everyone said that you died in a chaotic army, how could I believe that a person who was as cunning as a fox, who did such evil things in advance would die so easily, let alone that he would not see anyone in his life or a corpse. However, when the iron-blooded Changhemen was already in a critical situation at that time, I didn't have time to search for you, so I asked Xiao Zhou to sneak into your mansion, took Yi'er away, and sent him to a farmer's house near Chang'an Mansion for temporary feeding. It was not until we left Luoyang and went to Qingluo that we quietly picked him up...

At that time, I thought, if you really die in battle, we will raise this child well, and if you pretend to die and live, although I cannot avenge my master for the time being, I can also suffer from the separation of my flesh and blood!"

"A moment of thought, I regret it!... Over the years, I have lived a life where people are not like humans and ghosts are not like ghosts. I have been suffering every day, and life is worse than death!..." Shangguan Ce's thin fingers tightly grabbed his pale hair, his expression was distorted in pain, and gradually became a little hideous: "All this is all the blame for the general. If he hadn't been on his own, things would have been far from being like this! Everything should be perfect and perfect!"
