Except for Shangguan Mo and Su Qian, everyone was shocked. Chu Zixuan frowned and said angrily, “Where are people? Have you caught them?”

The messenger was so scared that he shivered, but he still raised his spirits and replied, “All of them are dead. They were originally arrested by a few living people, but they all committed suicide by taking poison.”

Chu Zixuan shook and suddenly looked at Cen Lu. Bai Meng was also looking at Cen Lu. For a moment, all eyes were focused on Cen Lu. Cen Lu sneered, not afraid of these tens of thousands of gazes at all.

“You did it?” Bai Meng asked sternly.

A man with a brain would also think that Cen Lu gathered 50,000 people to hit the stone with eggs and call the battle under the city, in order to lure the tiger away from the mountain to attack the city!

Cen Lu looked up and said, “Your Highness, Crown Prince, you should kill me. I am also loyal to you.”

Bai Meng’s blood surged, and there was a smell of fishy sweetness in his throat. He forced himself to endure it and swallowed it back. “Come here, behead him in this palace!” He held back his heartache and shouted angrily.

Cen Lu served him since childhood, and his master and servant have a deep friendship. Bai Meng’s heart was so painful that he dripped blood.

Cen Lu knocked on the ground with one head, looking excited and proud to die, “Your Highness, the prince, I can no longer serve you, take care of you.”

Bai Meng waved his hand with his eyes closed, and a soldier raised his sword and slashed at Cen Lu’s head. With a dull sound, Cen Lu’s body and head were different, and his blood was sacrificed in front of Qianzhou Pass.

All this happened in a moment, which made everyone present stunned.

Even if you are determined to die, this is too neat!

Su Qian’s heart tightened. Although she only met this person a few times, she admired the courage and loyalty of this person. She glanced at Bai Meng, whose eyes were bloodless and closed, sighed silently, and turned to Chu Zixuan and said, “Third uncle, it is not appropriate to have a dispute at the moment. Let Prince Meng make a conclusion after finding the prince’s cousin.”

Although Chu Zixuan understood that she was willing to protect Bai Meng, what she said was indeed the truth, so she could only nod and said to Bai Meng: “Crown Prince Meng, since the culprit has been imposed, I will not investigate it further. I hope Prince Meng will ignore his past grudges and help us find the prince of our country.”

Bai Meng nodded, “Meng will naturally help.” He coughed, “Meng has not yet healed and cannot bear the fatigue, so I will leave first.” He waved his hand and dropped the curtain of the sedan chair. The four sedan chairmen lifted the sedan chair and walked back without stopping. The sedan chair entered the ghost forest, and the 50,000 soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground all stood up, turned over and followed. In just a moment, he disappeared into the ghost forest.

Someone cleaned up Cen Lu’s body and took it back to Bailing City.

Su Qian looked at the 50,000 cavalry who suddenly came and sighed. “Uncle San, we are going to find you if we have something to do. Let’s go back to the government office first.”

She said, holdingShangguan Mo’s arm and toe a little, without waiting for Chu Zixuan to say anything, he floated down the city tower and landed on the horse’s back. She patted the beauty’s head and said, “Go back to the government office.” The beauty raised her hooves and ran wildly.

The soldiers on the city looked at the suddenly empty ghost forest, and were a little uncomfortable with the sudden ending of the battle. Even Su Qian and Shangguan Mo had left without knowing that.

“It will be a few days.” Su Qian looked at the street that seemed to be a little messier than usual and suddenly asked, “How many days will the army still arrive?”

Shangguan Mo sat behind her with his hands in front of her as usual, and said carelessly, “It will be there in two days.”

“Cen Lu is your person, right?” Su Qian seemed to sigh lightly, and seemed to be sympathetic. His eyes fell on his slender and jade-like hands, and even his joints were so beautiful that he was like a natural beauty.

Shangguan Mo said “um”, his voice floating and lazy.

Su Qian suddenly stopped talking. Although she hadn’t seen Cen Lu a few times, she also knew that he was definitely not a reckless person.

If there were no special reasons for today’s incident, a fool would not have brought 50,000 troops to conquer Qianzhou Pass, which had 500,000 troops guarded. With Bai Meng’s current situation, even if there is a huge reason, he would not do such a thing. Then, the only explanation is that someone else instructed Cen Lu. And the only people who have a reason to do so are she and Shangguan Mo.

The two of them needed to make Qianzhou chaotic so that Chu Zixuan had no time to take care of the 100,000 Shangguan Mo’s men who were about to enter the city. She didn’t do it, so only Shangguan Mo did it.

At this moment, I’m afraid that it was not only her who guessed it, but also Bai Meng and Chu Zixuan. Bai Meng lost a not-so-concerned personal bodyguard, which was naturally harmless to him, so he didn’t care.

Even though Chu Zixuan knew that it was Shangguan Mo’s behind him, he had no evidence, and he was helpless. Next, he had to calm the morale of the turbulent army and guard against the continued harassment that Shangguan Mo might bring. He also sent people to the ghost forest to find Chu Yuan, who has been missing so far. Then, after 100,000 people entered the city, he would have a chance to breathe and rest.

After a long time, Shangguan Mo suddenly said quietly: “For his life alone, he can be considered a death to the point of death.” His voice was dim, obviously very sad and helpless.

“Has he been buried with a grand funeral?” Su Qian asked in a low voice.
