The queen is too black

Chapter 165

"Yeah!" She nodded.

Xiao Ce supported her body, and with Xiao Ce's strength, she raised her foot and stepped on the stirrup, turned on the horse, and then tightly grasped the saddle with an uneasy look.

She looked at Xiao Ce, and cautiously reminded: "Brother Ce, slow down, I'm afraid."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Ce's eyes, and he joked, "Ning'er, how worried you are about me."

"Ning'er fell off a horse before." Tang Ning defended her timidity in a low voice.

When Xiao Ce saw her frightened face, most of his doubts disappeared.

He waved his hands away from the crowd, took the rein and led her around the racecourse twice.

She had never ridden such a slow horse, not to mention she was riding a thousand-mile horse that many good generals in the world could only dream of.

She felt that brother Ce had insulted her by sitting down on the Zhaoyuye lion.

The breeze was warm and the sun was shining, and the time was quiet. Tang Ning bowed her head, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Brother Ce, I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you, but you can't know the truth!

Lost in her own thoughts, Tang Ning suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes not far away. She swallowed her tears and looked up, only to see General Xuanwei Cheng Rui leading a group of troops towards them.

She subconsciously grabbed the saddle in her hand, but what came to mind was the scene of watching the horse gallop towards her in her previous life...

When Xiao Ce saw someone coming, he immediately retreated to Tang Ning's side, and held her hand: "Don't be afraid."

She let go of the saddle and held Xiao Ce's hand instead, her restless heart sank slowly.

She comforted herself: It's okay, it's okay, it's all over!
Cheng Rui got off his horse and came to Xiao Ce at a brisk pace, cupping his fists and saluting: "The last general will see His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince's concubine."

Xiao Ce's face was displeased, and he waved his hand to signal him not to be too polite.

Seeing that the prince was unhappy, Cheng Rui knew that he led troops rashly to scare the princess, and immediately saluted Tang Ning to express his apology: "The last general is guilty of disturbing the princess."

"No problem!" Tang Ning returned, and realized that Xiao Ce was holding her hand, and felt that it was impolite, so she wanted to secretly withdraw her hand.

Xiao Ce sensed her small movements, and he couldn't help tightening the strength of his hands a little, not letting her retreat in the slightest.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Tang Ning's eyes, and she sighed in her heart: Why are you so overbearing!

"What happened?" Xiao Ce asked, his voice was as cold as ice, like the cold wind of three or nine days.

Tang Ning couldn't help sighing, why can't her brother Ce have two faces, so can't he treat other people better?
"Reporting to Your Highness, the last general just went to the patrol battalion to look for His Highness, and accidentally found a sneaky soldier hovering around the granary camp, and the last general arrested him immediately, and then found the Ruanjin powder with full medicinal properties from the soldier. Immediately lead the troops to report to His Highness." Cheng Ruiyi briefly described the cause and effect of the incident.

"Your Highness, the food and grass of the three armies is the most important thing. It is related to the life and death of many soldiers. Now there are treacherous people who have the idea of ​​food and grass. Please, Your Highness, investigate to the end no matter what, and seek justice for the last general." Cheng Rui kowtowed heavily at Xiao Ce.

If such food and grass are transported to the battlefield, then those soldiers who eat the food and grass will lose their lives, and they may even lose the city. If the city is lost, the common people will still be alive!
This mere pack of medicine is a reminder for thousands of border guards and countless ordinary people!

Not to mention Cheng Rui, even an ordinary soldier couldn't tolerate it.

They were born to guard the border defense, and someone actually attacked them?

His Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of military affairs. If he wants to make a mess, he must inform His Highness in a big way, and His Highness will come forward and wipe out all the people behind the scenes.

Cheng Rui's eyes were burning, he looked at Xiao Ce expectantly, and repeated: "Your Highness, please seek justice for the last general."

"The general is now going back to the patrol camp with me to interrogate the soldier, and I will definitely give an explanation to the soldiers." Xiao Ce replied.

"Then I'll wait for you back home." Tang Ning suggested.

She might see blood when interrogating the prisoner, so it's better for her to hide.

"It's okay, come with me." After saying that, Xiao Ce got on the horse and held Tang Ning in his arms, and then ordered to Cheng Rui and others: "Get on the horse and follow me."

Without Cheng Rui, how could he let her go home alone.

The adult Zhaoyuye lion runs like a wild lion in the dark night, with the sound of horseshoes and gallops like lightning, even with two people on his back, he can still throw Cheng Rui and others far away.

Xiao Ce was riding the horse, but with the other hand he tightened his cloak to hide her under his own cloak, shielding her from the cold wind.

As soon as Xiao Ce arrived at the patrol camp, Lei Ming followed immediately, offered a stove, saluted and said: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."

Xiao Ce cast a cold look at Lei Ming, and cursed angrily: "Trash."

Tang Ning took the stove and held it in her hand, glanced at Lei Ming slightly, shook her head, her eyes were full of disappointment: since Feng Lei defected, these guards are not as good as one.

"Where is he?" Xiao Ce asked Yuan Xiu who was standing by.

"General Cheng detained him on the spot, and the man is in the warehouse where he wanted to prescribe the medicine." Yuan Xiu immediately replied.

After getting the answer, Xiao Ce took Tang Ning to the warehouse. Xiao Ce deliberately slowed down his pace so that she could keep up...

"Can you find out the identity of that person?" Xiao Ce asked while walking.

"Returning to Your Highness, he is from the guard camp, named Zhou Guang." Yuan Xiu replied.

Xiao Ce immediately ordered: "Leave someone here to wait, General Cheng will bring him to see this king when he arrives."

"No." Yuan Xiu replied, pointing to a guard, motioning him to wait in place...

Xiao Ce brought Tang Ning to the storeroom, Yuan Xiu guessed that His Highness had arrived and would interrogate him on the spot, so he sent people to bring tables and chairs early in case of emergency.

Xiao Ce took Tang Ning to sit down, looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice, "Speak! Who gave the instructions?"

The soldier Zhou Guang who was kneeling on the ground was so frightened by the cold Xiao Ce that he couldn't even raise his head.

"According to the military regulations, those who tamper with food and grass will be divided into five horses. If the circumstances are serious, the family will be ransacked and exterminated. If you tell who is behind the scenes, this king will spare your life. If you would rather die than recruit, this king will make your family old I will go on the road with you." Xiao Ce threatened in a cold voice.

Zhou Guang was scared to death, he was just a new soldier, he was not familiar with the military regulations, how did he know that his greed would not only bring him death, but even his family.At this time, his intestines were green with regret.

He prostrated himself on the ground, crying and begging: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"Tell me who is behind the scenes? I will spare your life." Xiao Ce replied coldly.

"Your Highness, the little one hasn't taken the medicine yet, so it's not a fault. Please His Highness, let the little one go." Zhou Guang begged.

Xiao Ce said with emotion: "The mouth is quite hard."

Xiao Ce has always been impatient with stubborn people.He waved his hand: "Remove the moisture-proof cloth, tie him up, and bury him with grain."

The idea of ​​moving food and grass, let him die under the food and grass.
