The General Is As Urgent As Law

Chapter 140

"I..." Jiang Ye hesitated for a long time, but couldn't think of a better way to explain this reason.

Wei Lin put his hands under his head and squinted at Jiang Ye.From his position, he could only see Jiang Ye's back and a little profile.He could see that Jiang Ye himself was at a loss about this matter, and said, "You don't want to go to the prison, because you are already in the palace. There is no way to do it, but for other things, if you can't participate, then don't participate."

"why?"

"Before you ask me, you first ask yourself why you must go." Wei Lin said, "Don't tell me that because Xue Ziqin asked you to protect Cen Lixuan, you have to obey what Cen Lixuan says."

"But there's nothing wrong with obeying the general's orders," Jiang Ye said.

"But this has nothing to do with you."

Jiang couldn't refute Wei Lin's words.Deep down in his heart, he wanted to refute, but he really didn't understand the reason for Wei Lin's questioning.There are many things, very complicated, all entangled together, and there is no way to untie it.

Witnessing "Xue Ziqin" murdering Guo Linchong that day was still vivid in his mind, and now it floated into Jiang Ye's mind.And the last sentence Guo Linchong said - "He doesn't".

Memories emerged in his mind, as if he was outside the camp again, went in again, and saw Guo Linchong for the last time.

Jiang also suddenly became clear, Guo Linchong must know that the person is not Xue Ziqin, even though he looks exactly the same.

This kind of unconditional trust, he knows how it is formed.It is on the battlefield that I hand over my back to my comrades-in-arms, and I also fight a bloody path for my comrades in the shadow of swords and swords. These little things are slowly accumulated under the test of life and death.

But Guo Linchong is a traitor. This is the answer that Xue Changfeng told the world, and it is also the answer that the emperor finally agreed with.

Seeing that Jiang Ye was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't reply for a long time, Wei Lin suddenly sat up from the grass, stretched his hand around Jiang Ye's neck, and stroked his hair.

"It's still too late to get away, I can take you away." Wei Lin said.

Jiang also turned to look at him. This face was very familiar to him. For a long time, they had been facing each other day and night, as familiar as himself.

He asked, "Do you believe that Vice General Guo is the real murderer?"

Wei Lin shook his head: "I know he is not, and you know it too."

"But since the general asked me to enter the palace to protect the Ninth Prince, there must be his reasons." Jiang Ye said.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Lin's voice suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "Why do you obey Xue Ziqin so much?"

"Didn't you obey..." "He told you to die, do you want to go too?" Jiang Ye was interrupted by Wei Lin's question.

When Wei Lin was serious, it was rare, let alone when he was angry now.

"It doesn't make sense for you to say that, and he won't let me die." Jiang Ye said calmly, "We know that Vice General Guo did not do this, why do we pretend we don't know?"

"Because it's best not to know."

"But I know." Jiang Ye said, looking straight at Wei Lin.Their eyes met, and Wei Lin could see Jiang Ye's stubbornness from his eyes.

Jiang also used to be like this.

He will do what he thinks is right, and he will not do what he thinks is wrong even if he is killed.

His world is extremely simple, black and white.

Wei Lin didn't speak, he just looked at Jiang Ye, and Jiang Ye continued to say: "Now the whole world thinks that he is the murderer who murdered the prince, and also thinks that he is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country. Why should he bear such burdens for things he has never done? reputation?"

"So, do you want to justify his name?"

"Yeah, anyway, the general asked me to follow the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince asked me to go to the prison," Jiang Ye said, "Isn't everything just right, and I also want to find out the real culprit."

"So what if we find out the real culprit?"

"Find the real culprit and prove his innocence."

Jiang Ye said this very lightly, taking it for granted.Wei Lin sneered, and said with some disdain: "You think that if you prove his innocence, he will be innocent?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have already guessed that the matter is either the second prince or the third prince. Do you think the emperor will tell the world that his sons will kill each other for the throne for Guo Linchong?" Wei Lin said with a gloomy expression, "Jiang Also, wouldn’t you be too naive like this.”

What Wei Lin said was right, and Jiang knew it after hearing it.

He didn't speak any more, and Wei Lin didn't speak anymore. The two of them just sat like this, and the atmosphere was terribly dull.

"Even so," Jiang looked away, stopped looking at Wei Lin, and suddenly said as if talking to himself, "Even so, at least tell the emperor that his son is such a scum, can he be such a scum in the future?" It doesn't matter to you if you become the emperor?"

"I do not mind."

"Then what do you care about?"

"I have something to do with you." Wei Lin replied without thinking, "I can't control other people's lives, I just want you to live well... Otherwise, why do you think I entered the palace? Do you think I care about the commander of the imperial army? "

Jiang didn't answer either. I don't know if it was because of the affection in the first half of the sentence, or because

Questions in the second half of the sentence.

Wei Lin continued: "Do you know that you protect Cen Lizhen, you belong to the Ninth Prince, if he fails to win in the future, you will be buried with him..."

"I know." Jiang Ye said, "I'm not afraid of death. If I was afraid of death, why would I join the army? Wouldn't it be good to be my young master?"

"But I'm afraid." Wei Lin said, lowering his head.

……

It was still late summer outside, but it was as cold as November in the dungeon.Jiang also changed into a jailer's outfit and followed Wei Lin.Just as Cen Liyu expected, although the identity of the commander of the forbidden army can't play any role in the sky prison, Wei Yuanting behind Wei Lin can easily insert people into the sky prison.

The conversation ended with Wei Lin's last sentence, and the two of them never spoke again.Even when it came to going to the Heavenly Prison, Wei Lin arranged for his guards to go to the Jiangzhen Terrace to deliver the letter.

Wei Lin was seldom angry, so rare that even Jiang couldn't remember when he was angry.Even when angry, Wei Lin couldn't afford a cup of tea and smiled happily.

Because of this, such silence shows the seriousness of the matter.

As Wei Lin was the commander of the imperial army, there were still people who recognized him in the sky prison, nodding and bowing to ask him why he came.Wei Lin changed his usual grinning appearance, and pretended to point out that Jiang, who was behind him, was also a distant family member of the Wei family, temporarily seeking a job in the prison.Jiang didn't make a sound, and after Wei Lin finished speaking, he followed the cell leader to do things.

What he didn't expect was that Wei Lin didn't stay with him. After making arrangements for him, Wei Lin left.

"Xiao Jiang, are you distantly related to General Wei?" After Wei Lin left, the cell boss asked quietly.

Jiang Ye was still thinking about the dispute with Wei Lin, and his mind was not on the jailer in front of him at all. He just nodded absent-mindedly when he heard the question, and casually mentioned the purpose of his trip: "I heard that Shang Xiang is in prison?"

"That's right, I need to hear about it." The prison chief's expression was somewhat contemptuous, "No one in the whole country knows."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at a cell, even with a smile on his face.Jiang also quietly glanced in the direction the prison head was looking at, only to see people sitting in the corner of the dark cell, huddled into a ball, unable to see their faces.

But that should be Shang Xu.

It can be seen that the high-ranking Xiangye in the past is now in prison, and more people are like this prison leader. Not only do they not think about the deep meaning behind it, but they also gloat.

Jiang didn't say anything more, and the cell boss arranged for him to stay by the side of a certain cell for a while, and then left.Jiang Yeshou's cell is not far from where Shang Xu is located, just as Jiang Ye wanted, so that he can monitor Shang Xu's every move.

Shang Xu has been convicted and will be executed in three days, which means that Jiang also only needs to wait in the sky prison until he is released from prison.Wei Lin came here once or twice a day, always trying to avoid Jiang Ye and not letting Jiang Ye know.Every time he came over, he would just follow the cell boss to ask about the situation, and implicitly hinted that if the cell boss Shang Xu was visiting, he had to send someone to inform him.The prison chief took it for granted that Wei Yuanting meant it, nodded and bowed his head, expressing that he must do his job well.

For two days in a row, there was nothing abnormal in the prison.Jiang didn't talk much to the guards around him either. Others knew that he had some background, so they didn't force it, they just pretended that this person didn't exist.

On the third day, someone finally came to visit Shang Xu.

Jiang also saw that there was movement over there, so he waited intently, wanting to see who came to visit the prison.

The man was wearing plain clothes, and he couldn't tell anything by just looking at his clothes, and his back happened to be facing Jiang Ye, so he couldn't see his face.He was carrying a food box, and the prison head personally asked the jailer to open the door, and the man went in, walked up to Shang Xu, and sat on the ground.

There was Zhang Xiaoji in the cell, but Jiang could only see that the man took out a lot of food from the food box, and a jug of wine, and put them one by one on the small table.Shang Xu was still sitting in the corner, not moving. He didn't respond until the man spoke.

It's a pity that Jiang Ye was in a position where he couldn't hear the sound from that side at all, and the cell boss still dutifully guarded the door.He wanted to lean over to listen, but he was afraid that this would be too suspicious.

Jiang also thought for a while, then walked over and greeted the cell boss.He pretended to be curious, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Brother Zhang is guarding it himself."

"That's not true." The prison chief glanced at him, thinking that it's none of your business, but it's not easy to get angry on the surface.After all, he is a member of General Wei. If he offends the Wei family, it is something he, a small cell boss, can bear.

The head of the cell looked into the cell again, pulled Jiang Ye a few steps to the side, and said in a low voice, "There is a nobleman coming to visit the cell."

"My lord?" Jiang also asked in confusion.

Now when he looked inside again, he could clearly see the face of the person who came. He was about 27 or [-] years old, and looked very young.But he didn't know that appearance at all.

The cell boss shook his head mysteriously, as if he didn't intend to tell Jiang Ye.

Jiang also pretentiously cleared his throat, and whispered: "Brother Zhang, I am here for a purpose." As he spoke, he took out the token from his waist, deliberately blocking the secret mark, so that only the cell boss could see it. After a rough idea, I took it back.He went on to say: "Commander Wei brought me here to do something, this token must be recognized by Brother Zhang."

"Recognized, recognized..." The prison chief obviously didn't expect that this so-called distant cousin of the Wei family turned out to be someone from a certain prince, and he was a little dazed for a while.

Jiang also smiled: "Don't panic, tell me who is here."

"It's Mr. Right..." said the jailer.

"Well, how about I guard this side for you?"

The prison chief didn't dare to refute, he hesitated a little and nodded.

Jiang also patted him on the shoulder with some approval, and then stood where the prison head was before, and listened to the conversation inside openly.
