Xiao Qirui knew that he was right, but to act first and report later…
“Forget it. What do you want to do?” Xiao Qirui asked.
“Let’s restrain them first.”
The two of them discussed for a while, then got someone to call over a few deputy generals from the capital overnight. About 15 minutes later, a few deputy generals left Xiao Qirui’s tent in a hurry.
In the general’s residence, Shen Yijia was in a daze. When she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes and saw that it was Song Jingchen. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “Hubby, did everything go smoothly?”
“Yes, did I disturb you?” Song Jingchen sat down by the bed and pulled her into his arms.
Shen Yijia shook her head. “No, I slept too early. So the Meng family has already been arrested?”
This was too fast.
“Yes, and his trusted aides.” Since he had chosen to attack, he would not give him a chance to react.
At first, the Nanling Army naturally did not believe him. They did not want to find the correspondence between him and Yan Guangmao in Meng Wu’s tent. One of the letters was about Yan Guangmao threatening him with what happened back then, and the other was about Meng Wu writing it and had yet to send it out.
In short, once these letters were made public, everyone had to believe them.
Meng Wu was a cautious person, so he naturally wouldn’t leave such evidence behind. Those letters were actually forged by him and Xiao Qirui.
No one had seen Yan Guangmao’s handwriting, but Meng Wu’s handwriting was readily available. Therefore, he specially imitated his handwriting and wrote a furious and helpless reply after being threatened.
His handwriting and tone were the same. If not for the fact that Meng Wu had never seen or written those letters, he would have suspected himself.
However, it was useless for him to know that it was fake. It was fine as long as the Nanling Army and the soldiers who remembered General Gao believed that the letters were real.
“Back then, General Gao was charged with treason because of a few letters. This can be considered…
“I know. To give someone a taste of their own medicine!” Shen Yijia added. She looked up and kissed him on the cheek. “Hubby is amazing.”
Song Jingchen smiled. “My wife is also very powerful. If not for you today, we might not have been able to defend Nanling Pass.”
Shen Yijia raised her chin proudly. “Of course.”
To the soldiers of Nanling Pass, not only had they won the battle today, but they had also helped General Gao capture the villain. They were only waiting for an imperial edict today to completely wash away their reputation. It could be said to be a double blessing.
However, just as everyone was filled with joy, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded in the direction of the East City Gate.
The commotion was so loud that the ground seemed to shake a few times.

The east gate had been blown up!
“Haha, they’re here. They’re here.” In the tent where the four people of the Meng family were locked up, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly laughed.
Meng Wu looked up. ‘What did you do?”
“Me? I just helped the people of the Wu Kingdom bury some black gunpowder while they were repairing the city gate.” Meng Shaoyuan snorted. “I’ve already told Father that Song Jingchen doesn’t trust us at all, but Father didn’t believe me.”
Fortunately, he had decided to cooperate with Yan Guangmao from the beginning. Otherwise, there would only be death waiting for them.
Meng Wu choked. “You…”
“Aren’t you happy that we don’t have to die?” Meng Shaoyuan’s expression was sinister.
The complete plan was that when Yan Guangmao attacked the city, his men would take the opportunity to ignite black gunpowder and blow up the city gate.
Meng Shaoyuan would then lead his men to attack the Great Xia army from the back with the Wu Kingdom’s soldiers. Unexpectedly, Song Jingchen chose to send a hundred thousand troops out of the city to fight.
They could only delay the plan, but Song Jingchen captured the Meng family again.
It had to be said that Song Jingchen was too lucky.
At this point, what else could he do? Meng Wu sighed. “I hope Yan Guangmao will really keep his promise.”
“So we don’t have to die?” Meng Linlang asked Meng Linyan.
Meng Linyan was shocked by Meng Shaoyuan’s words. She had always thought that her father had been wronged!
“General Xiao, bad news. The east gate has been blown up.” The soldier who reported the news rushed into the tent in a panic. His entire body and face were covered in blood.
“Tell me clearly, what exactly happened?” Xiao Qirui had already put on his armor when he asked the question. He picked up his sword and walked out.
The messenger quickly followed. “It’s black gunpowder. I don’t know who buried a large amount of black gunpowder under the city gate in advance, but Lu Renjia ignited them when we weren’t paying attention.”
By the time they realized that something was wrong, it was too late. Their companions, who rushed forward to capture them, were all killed by the explosion.
If he hadn’t been a step slower, he would have ended up like those people.
Thinking of his companion’s tragic death, the messenger wiped his face.
Xiao Qirui’s eyes turned cold. He patted the soldier’s shoulder and said, “Go to the general’s residence…”
“General Xiao.” Thirty Thousand ran over. “My master has already gone to the east city gate..”
