After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Chapter 210 I have doubts

After Wei Duhu's personal guards sent Li Qingqing back to her residence, they did not leave, but stood guard outside the yard.

The reason was to escort her to see Protector Wei early tomorrow morning.

Li Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing, her cold eyes sweeping over the expressionless guards.

They blocked the only exit of the residence tightly.

Very good..., are you protecting her as a national treasure?

Li Qingqing's fists under her sleeves were clenched so tightly that her knuckles ached, but she refused to shake them towards the team leader's face.

Her face was calm as she strode into the yard and back to the main hall.

Yun Su brought a cup of tea and said, "The Imperial Master came here just now and seemed to have something urgent to discuss with you."

"I understand." Li Qingqing took a sip of tea and made up her mind when she put down the cup.

A moment later, she climbed over the backyard wall and came to Li Feng's residence.

"How is the general now?" Li Qingqing walked towards the master bedroom.

"Your injury has recovered well. You've just rested." Zhou Yimo followed closely behind, "Your injury—"

"No problem!" Li Qingqing interrupted Zhou Yimo and smiled at him, "Thank you for your help."

"Don't worry!" Zhou Yimo nodded. Everything my wife asked me to do was top priority!

After visiting Li Feng, the two of them went to the main hall.

Wu Meng and Xie Xuan'an were waiting anxiously in the hall. When they saw Li Qingqing come in, Wu Meng immediately asked,

"I heard you went to see Protector Wei. Did he give you any trouble?"

"It's a little difficult, but it's okay!"

Li Qingqing then told everyone the content of her conversation with Wei Duhu and her own plans.

"Do you want to take the blame for Bai Ye?" When several people heard this, they firmly objected.

"What else can we do? We can't just stand by and watch Bai Ye and Hu Dabao and the others not save them?"

Li Qingqing's expression was calm as she continued speaking.

"Putting aside other matters, the assassination attempt on the Protector General is punishable by death according to the law! They have already caused a small-scale assassination incident! If Protector General Wei had not been concerned about my military achievements and was afraid of the court's accountability, and if he had not had the support of the Imperial Master, he would never have settled this case with only thirty lashes.

Moreover, military discipline has always been strict. If we don't punish them, everyone will follow suit. How can we convince the people then?"

When they heard this, they fell silent.

Bai Ye really got into big trouble this time!

"While it's still dark, I'm going to kill the guy named Wei!" Wu Meng suddenly spoke up, becoming a little irritated.

"You look quite old, so please don't be as impulsive as before, okay?" Li Qingqing smiled helplessly.

Seeing some oranges on the table, she picked one up and asked, "Eat some oranges to cool down?"

Wu Meng looked at Li Qingqing gloomily.

Things have come to this point, and she is still in the mood to tease herself.

Zhou Yimo immediately advised, "Master Imperial Master, please do not act rashly. If the Protector General were to disappear or die at the border, his personal guards would immediately report it to the court. If an investigation were to take place, not only would all the soldiers in the border city, but also the newly arrived refugees in the border towns, be implicated. Bai Ye, Hu Dabao, and the others would be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences."

Wu Meng felt even more depressed after hearing this.

Although he is a fake national teacher, he still understands the truth.

It's just that he had heard from Zhou Yimo before that the man surnamed Wei was not a good person, and now he was deliberately forcing his master, so he was just venting his anger.

Xie Xuan'an asked, "We have learned of Wei Duhu's crimes. If we expose him in public tomorrow, is that feasible?"

As soon as this was said, Wu Meng immediately objected.

"No! Although I am the Imperial Master, I have no real power. If I were to expose the enemy commander based solely on his one-sided account, he would insist that we were secretly colluding with him to harm him, and would then seize the opportunity to eliminate us first!"

By then, how could he, the imperial teacher, save their lives?

Although Li Feng was able to fight against him, he was still recovering from a serious injury. For fear that he would get emotional, he had never told him anything about this matter.

Moreover, even if there is conclusive evidence, it must be kept hidden until the imperial envoy arrives.

In the border area, the Protector General is now the highest-ranking official. He wants to fight against them by accusing them in person. Is he trying to commit suicide or to wipe out the whole group?

"That's right, according to the laws of Dayuan, false accusations will be punished!" Zhou Yimo nodded and added,

"The best time to file a lawsuit against the Protector General is after the imperial envoy arrives. Even if Protector General Wei flatly denies it, the envoy will investigate the matter thoroughly due to the city lord's outstanding military achievements."

As soon as Zhou Yimo finished speaking, the hall fell silent again.

Several people turned their eyes to Li Qingqing.

But I saw Li Qingqing tasting the oranges with gusto, eating so happily.

Noticing everyone's gazes, she blinked and held out the orange slices in her hand. "Would you like some? They're quite sweet."

Seeing that everyone was still silent, she could only smile and say,

"No need to look so angry. Taking thirty lashes in exchange for Bai Ye's life and the lives of over four thousand others is a much better deal!"

"Besides, Protector Wei doesn't know about this at the moment. We already know his situation and he won't do anything to us. So, all of you stay calm and do what you have to do."

"I understand." Wu Meng was unhappy. He didn't know what had gone wrong with Bai Ye. He did such a big thing just because of a disagreement!

Suddenly, Wu Meng remembered something and handed the long sword on the small table beside him to Li Qingqing.

"I almost forgot something important! Look at this!"

"Isn't this Bai Ye's sword?" Li Qingqing took the sword in confusion and looked at the scabbard.

There is no difference, it is indeed what Bai Ye usually wears.

I think after Bai Ye was detained, the sword was picked up by Wu Meng.

"Please pull out your sword and let us see it!" Wu Meng reminded, his eyes fixed on Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing glanced at Wu Meng strangely and drew her sword.

The long sword shone with a cold green light under the light, like a pool of condensed cold spring.

She had fought with Bai Ye before and knew that it was an excellent sword.

Li Qingqing flipped her wrist lightly and casually made a sword flower.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and she saw the word "White Frost" engraved on the end of the sword's spine.

It was as small as a mosquito's foot, but it made her expression change drastically!

"Why is the White Frost Sword in Bai Ye's hands?!"

Li Qingqing suddenly looked at Wu Meng, "Do you know where Bai Shuang is now?"

"I haven't contacted her yet." Wu Meng shook his head. "As for why this sword is in Bai Ye's hands, I'm completely baffled."

Fortunately, Xie Xuan'an pulled it out and took a look out of curiosity, otherwise he would not have accidentally discovered the small words on the sword's spine.

Xie Xuanan, who was standing by, immediately asked, "Who is Bai Shuang?"

"Bai Shuang is our companion." Wu Meng looked at Xie Xuan'an and explained,

"Back then, she, your mother, Qiu Wufeng, the Wushuang siblings, Ache, and the now deceased Hong Su, the seven of us were all close followers of the general."

Moreover, this close follower is not that close follower, but a close confidant.

"Could it be that Bai Ye is Bai Shuang's younger brother?"

"No. Bai Shuang has no brothers." Li Qingqing immediately denied it. She looked at Wu Meng and asked, "Did Bai Shuang get married back then?"

"They probably haven't gotten married yet," Wu Meng replied.

"Because of your incident, the imperial court dealt a heavy blow to us. We separated after our first meeting and haven't dared to contact each other easily since then.

After I gave the child to Hong Su, I tried to contact her but failed, so I focused on looking for you."

Zhou Yimo understood what Li Qingqing meant and said, "Even if they get married first, the child they have will be around the same age as Young Master Xie at most, and Bai Ye is already twenty-three."

"No! I'm going to get Bai Ye out now and ask him what's going on!" Li Qingqing stood up.

She suddenly remembered that Bai Ye had a criminal record of murdering his former master, Mr. Liu.

Bai Shuang always kept her sword in her hand, just like she and her spear. But now the sword has changed hands. Could it be that Bai Shuang...

How ridiculous! Just now she was determined to save Bai Ye!

Li Qingqing couldn't imagine it, so she got up and left.

"No!"

"If you go to rescue Bai Ye now, Protector Wei will most likely believe that it was you who did it and force you to hand him over!" Zhou Yimo thought Li Qingqing wanted to rescue Bai Ye, so he tried to dissuade her.

Just now the lady told everyone to keep calm and not to alert the enemy, but the next second she became impulsive.

"No, I have doubts in my heart, and I must figure it out tonight!"

Li Qingqing's eyes gradually turned cold, but she did not reveal her inner doubts.
