Chapter 128 Finally Meeting the Enemy

"What else do you want me to explain? I have explained everything I need to explain."

Qi Shuo spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Qiu Changye in a stern voice.

"Are you collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, pretending to transfer the soldiers out of Shanzhou City so that the Hu people can occupy Shanzhou?" Qiu Changye said coldly.

After hearing this, Qi Shuo sneered and said, "You have such a rich imagination!"

"You are still so stubborn. Continue the execution!" Qiu Changye ordered.

The jailers continued to execute Qi Shuo.

Xie Shilian watched and felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

"Xie Shizi, do you want to help with the interrogation?"

Qiu Changye signaled to the jailers to hand the whip to Xie Shilian.

Xie Shilian said to Qiu Changye with cold eyes, "I don't want to be involved in these bloody things. If he wants to be stubborn, then he can continue to suffer!"

Qiu Changye smiled and said, "I thought that Prince Xie and Qi Shuo, as brothers for so many years, would be considerate and sympathetic, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel."

"How can a criminal like me be my brother?" Xie Shilian looked at Qi Shuo with sharp eyes.

After hearing this, Qi Shuo couldn't help but laugh coldly and said, "I am indeed not worthy of being called a brother by Master Xie, but I do remember the kindness Master Xie showed me in the past."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xie Shilian looked at Qi Shuo with pretended hatred.

Qi Shuo snorted coldly and said to Qiu Changye: "I remembered something. I want to meet the emperor and tell him in person."

Qiu Changye's tense heart relaxed a little, thinking that using Xie Shilian to provoke Qi Shuo was indeed effective. He didn't expect that he would tell the truth so soon, so he said: "It's the same if you tell me, Qi Shuo, tell me, I'm listening to any injustice you have."

Xie Shilian deliberately threatened: "Qi Shuo, stop talking nonsense, or you may implicate your family!"

Qiu Changye sighed and said, "Prince Xie, why are you so impatient now? Are you afraid that Qi Shuo will say something that will threaten your Xie family?"

Xie Shilian looked at Qiu Changye and said, "What am I afraid of? Our Xie family is upright and aboveboard, what is there to be afraid of? I just think that Qi Shuo is in a difficult situation now, and he is just making up stories and accusing his enemies."

Qiu Changye said: "No matter what Qi Shuo says, we have to look at the evidence, so, Master Xie, don't be afraid of being smeared."

"Of course I'm not afraid." Xie Shilian stared at Qi Shuo fiercely, as if threatening him.

Qiu Changye saw through it and immediately said to Xie Shilian, "Prince Xie, please step aside! What Qi Shuo is going to say next is related to the confidentiality of the Dali Temple's trial."

Xie Shilian frowned and said, "It was Lord Qiu who insisted on inviting me here just now. Didn't that involve any secrets? Now you want to drive me away because of the secrets? What a poor excuse."

"Thank you, my Lord. This is all my duty. Please understand."

Qiu Changye hurriedly called out to the two people, "Send Master Xie home! Send him well!"

Xie Shilian looked at Qiu Changye's smug look and snorted coldly, "No need!"

Then he flicked his sleeves and left.

Seeing that the person had finally left, Qiu Changye looked at Qi Shuo and asked, "Qi Shuo, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I will report every word to His Majesty."

Qi Shuo raised his eyes and said, "No! I want to meet His Majesty in person and talk to Him about this!"

Qiu Changye frowned and said, "Your Majesty, can you meet him whenever you want?"

Qi Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see His Majesty. I won't say a word unless I see His Majesty."

Qiu Changye shouted angrily, "Qi Shuo, don't negotiate here!"

"If you don't have the time, you might as well go and report to His Majesty and see if His Majesty is willing to see me. Anyway, I won't tell His Majesty until I see him!"

"How do I know whether you really want to see His Majesty to explain things, or whether you have other plans?"

Qi Shuo said: "In short, the answer your Majesty wants is only mine, isn't it?"

After Qi Shuo finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Qiu Changye was so angry that he wanted to order people to beat Qi Shuo, but he felt that Qi Shuo was right, so he decided to report to the emperor as soon as possible. It was up to the emperor whether to see him or not.

After Qiu Changye shouted coldly, he turned and left.

A smile appeared on Qi Shuo's lips.

……

In the study room of the imperial city, a man in a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the upper seat, looking down at the ministers who were reporting matters below.

"Your Majesty, Qi Shuo refused to tell the truth. He said he wanted to see you and tell you what he knew." Qiu Changye reported word by word.

The man on the upper seat frowned and said coldly, "You have been interrogating for such a long time and still haven't found anything. This shows how incompetent you are. Now you want me to take action myself. You are really incompetent."

"Your Majesty, it is my fault. Please forgive me." Qiu Changye knelt down and begged for mercy.

The emperor sitting on the throne sneered and was too lazy to argue with Qiu Changye.

"Your Majesty, let me continue the interrogation to prevent him from playing any tricks." Qiu Changye said.

"No! I want to interrogate him personally!"

The emperor narrowed his brows and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I want to hear how he can give me the answer I want."

The emperor was extremely wary of the Duke of Yingguo. Back then, when he had just ascended the throne, he summoned the Duke of Yingguo to the capital, but he refused the summons on the grounds of guarding the border, which made him lose all prestige.

In the court, there were many ministers who spoke for the Duke of England. Whenever he wanted to punish the Duke of England, someone would come out to stop him.

Because the Duke of England holds great power! The entire northwest is in the hands of the Duke of England, and he cannot move at will.

Although he had Madam Xie and the youngest son of the Xie family summoned back and detained them in the capital, he still had to have people protect them at all times, for fear that something might happen to them and give the Duke of England a reason to start a rebellion.

The emperor's eyes were filled with hatred. He had already become the supreme ruler, but he still had to look at the face of a minister. He had to be cautious all the time, for fear that the British would rebel.

How can he feel at ease?

The emperor thought that one day, he would wipe out the Xie family! From then on, no one would stand against him anymore.

And Qi Shuo is this breakthrough point.

Qi Shuo has been with the Duke of England for so many years, and I heard that he treats him like his own son, so it is impossible for him not to know the Duke of England's weaknesses.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile again and said to Qiu Changye: "Go quickly and bring Qi Shuo to the palace to see me!"

"Your Majesty, do you really want to see Qi Shuo?" Qiu Changye asked carefully after confirming.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Why? No way?"

"Yes, of course. This world belongs to your Majesty. Your Majesty can see anyone you want..."

"Then go quickly!"

"Yes! I will go right away!"

Qiu Changye then got up and left the palace to take Qi Shuo out of prison.

Qi Shuo was not surprised when he knew that the emperor wanted to see him.

His uncle told him that the emperor was blinded by greed and wanted to get rid of Xie, so he would not let go of this opportunity.

There was a gloom in Qi Shuo's eyes. When he walked out of the cell, he looked up at the sky.

Finally, it’s time to meet the enemy.
