C1960 Final volume

It really was Jin Liren! Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang's eyes simultaneously lit up. Ren Fang subconsciously grabbed onto Zhang Tong's collar, and asked fiercely: "Did you bring my family into the palace?"

Zhang Tong drooped his head, he did not dare look straight into Ren Fang's eyes, and weakly replied: "Yes ?"

"Where did you hide them?" Ren Fang asked anxiously.

Zhang Tong shook his head and said: "About that ? This little one does not know, that General Ren's family is... General Jin personally went to lock him up, and as to where exactly he was imprisoned in the palace, this lowly one does not know. "

While speaking, he looked towards Xiao Xiang and begged, "Your Highness, this lowly one has told you everything I know. Your Highness, please spare me! Your Highness, please spare me!"

Seeing Zhang Tong's terrified look, Ren Fang knew that he was not lying. He slowly loosened his collar, turned around and walked back to Xiao Xiang's side, asking in a low voice: "Your Highness, look ?"

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, and said with a deep voice: "Since it is indeed Jin Liren's doing, then I will also punish you severely!" With that, she strode out of the dungeon.

After leaving the dungeon and outside, Ren Fang caught up with Xiao Xiang and said with a frown: "Your Highness, this general has no enmity with Jin Liren, I really don't understand why he would be willing to take such a huge risk to kidnap this general's family!"

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, then looked at Ren Fang with a strange gaze and asked back, "Does General Ren still think that this was done by Jin Liren alone?"

Ren Fang took a deep breath and asked, "Your Highness, you mean ? There's a real culprit behind Jin Liren? "

"Of course!" Xiao Xiang said: "Jin Liren is in charge of the palace guards, while the General Ren is in charge of the Central Army Legion. The two of you can say that you don't even get a chance, why would he kidnap your family members for no reason? Behind him, there is definitely another true killer, and Jin Liren is just a pawn that is controlled by others. "

Ren Fang squinted his eyes and couldn't help but sigh. It was good to follow the vines and touch the melon, but the melon was getting bigger and bigger. He asked, "Your Highness, who do you think will be the one controlling Jin Liren?"

Xiao Xiang chuckled, and retorted: "Why would General Ren ask me? Don't you know what to do?"

Ren Fang went silent and no longer spoke. Of course it was Eldest Young Master Xiao Ting. This was not a secret, Jin Liren had supported the Eldest Young Master in inheriting the throne many times in front of everyone. It could be said that Jin Liren was one of the core members of Xiao Ting's faction. If there really was a main representative behind him, then there was no need to interrogate him, he must be Eldest Young Master Xiao Ting.

"This matter involves a lot of things, so what should I do?" Ren Fang really had no idea now.

If he wanted to save his own family, he had to make a move on Jin Liren, but if he made a move on Jin Liren, it would be equivalent to using a knife to slice apart Eldest Young Master's flesh.

Right now, his heart was filled with indignation, distress, and helplessness. He looked at Xiao Xiang eagerly, hoping that she would think of a good solution.

Xiao Xiang said faintly: "In order to get to the throne, the Elder Royal Brother did not care what methods he use, and did not hold anything back. Today, he is able to use Jin Liren to kidnap General Ren's family members, and tomorrow, he can also use the same method, and use it to recruit and deal with the other ministers who do not agree with him. If he continues to develop, who knows how many people will be killed, and even the root of my Chuan Country.

Although Xiao Xiang's words were a little exaggerated, Xiao Ting's actions had indeed reached the point of angering the Human God, not to mention that Ren Fang was his own victim.

Ren Fang nodded his head heavily, and said: "What Your Highness says is reasonable, and how should I do it, Your Highness only needs to give the order, this general will definitely follow it."

"Alright!" Xiao Xiang was waiting for these words from Ren Fang. Her eyes flashed as she slowly clenched her fists and said: "Either we don't do it, or we must not leave any hidden dangers.

Ah? Ren Fang's heart trembled, his face could not help but reveal a look of astonishment. He never thought that Xiao Xiang would be so ruthless, he wanted to take this chance to catch Xiao Ting in one fell swoop. He anxiously replied, "Your Highness!"

Xiao Xiang waved her hand at him, and said: "General Ren, right now, it has already reached the point of either death or death. If we cannot eliminate the Elder Royal Brother branch this time, then in the future, Elder Royal Brother will carry out his endless revenge. What about the ministers of the court? By then, blood will flow like a river and even the foundations of my Great River will be shaken. The longer the pain, the better the shorter the pain.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Xiang's words made sense. Ren Fang interfered and bowed, then said seriously: "I wonder what the princess has planned?"

Xiao Xiang placed her hands behind her back and paced back and forth, pondering for a moment. Then, she turned her head and gave the order: "Immediately summon Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lv You, Bu Ying and the other generals to come here to discuss the Princess Mansion, quickly!"

One of the servants quickly replied and ran out.

Roughly an hour later, all of the core members of Xiao Xiang's faction rushed to the Princess Mansion. Among them were Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lv You, Bu Ying's generals, Yu Qing, Du Yang, Zhong Lang, and a few other Wen Chen.

When everyone had arrived, they gathered in the main hall. Civil officials and military generals sat on both sides of the table. From a glance, this place looked like a small imperial court.

Xiao Xiang sat in the middle and looked around first. She then cleared her throat and attracted the attention of those who were unaware to her. Then, she told everyone in detail about the results of the kidnapping of Ren Fang's family.

After she finished speaking, the faces of all the ministers present all changed. Who would have thought that the person who kidnapped Ren Fang's family was actually a palace guard disguised, and the one leading them was actually Jin Liren? The first person to stand out and speak was Yu Qing. He stood up and slapped the table, and said sternly: "What a great plan to kill two birds with one stone! Eldest Young Master kidnaps General Ren's family, in the future, I can control General Ren for his own use, and can blame this matter on my Lieutenant's Mansion, causing General Ren to resent your highness, this plan is poisonous ah! "

"Humph!" Xiao Xiang sneered, and said: "Heaven's net is vast and the earth is vast, and there are no loopholes. No matter how ingenious a plan is, it will not be completely flawed, and there will ultimately be a trace to be found. Naturally, it is no exception this time!"1

"It is all thanks to your highness' intelligence that you guessed that the hostage might be hiding in the palace. Otherwise, no one would have connected this case with the palace guards!" Yu Qing praised sincerely.

Xiao Xiang did not say much. Instead, she turned the topic around and sternly said: "If you want to save General Ren's family, then you must immediately capture Jin Liren. However, if you make a move on Jin Liren, it is equivalent to falling out with the Elder Royal Brother.

"Since that's the case, Princess, you don't need to think about brotherly feelings anymore. You should take this opportunity to eliminate the Eldest Young Master, so as to avoid harming the imperial government or Chuan Country again!" Bu Ying stood up and said.

His thoughts matched with Xiao Xiang's, who nodded and said: "I also have the same plan, but, if I want to exterminate the Elder Royal Brother's henchmen, I'll have to think further first."

Zhang Situ slowly said: "Eldest Young Master does not have many trusted aides in the imperial court. On the contrary, we are very close with the various marquises, especially the Xueyi Duke, who has a lot of interactions with the Eldest Young Master. If we make a move against the Eldest Young Master, I'm afraid we will attract the attention of the marquises outside the city."

This was the most troublesome matter that Xiao Ting had to deal with. The Marquis Army was also the one that Xiao Ting relied on the most. Xiao Xiang thoughtfully nodded his head, without making a single sound. She then turned to look at the silent Ren Fang and asked: "General Ren, what do you think?"

At this time, Ren Fang's mind had already completely calmed down. He tried to calm down the matter of his family members being kidnapped, but he kept feeling that this matter was too strange. He could vaguely sense that there were a lot of areas that seemed to be emitting the smell of a conspiracy.

Hearing Xiao Xiang's question, he pulled herself together and said seriously: "Actually, the armies of the dukes outside the city are not enough to scare anyone. It looks like there are many dukes that have a good relationship with the Eldest Young Master, but that is only on the surface, in reality, all the dukes are like fence-sitters with their sides facing each other. As long as we can capture the Eldest Young Master as fast as lightning, there will probably not be a second person besides the Xueyi Duke who would dare to raise an army against the Imperial Court. Although there are many under the command of the Xueyi Duke, in the end, it is only the battle power of one legion, and it is not yet able to contend against our numerous Central Army armies. "

The meaning of his words, was that even if the Xueyi Duke were to rebel for Xiao Ting, it was nothing to fear.

Xiao Xiang's words caused Xiao Xiang to nod her head repeatedly, and the smile on the latter's face became wider and wider. After he finished speaking, Xiao Xiang laughed heartily and praised: "General Ren is indeed worthy of being one of the commanders that the King Father relied on the most when she was still alive. For a young master who has lost his power and has been captured, it would be overestimating them. They would not dare to do so! "

With that, she stood up and shook the air: "Tonight, we will attack the Elder Royal Brother by surprise, and attack by surprise. General, gather your men in the city and take control of the manors of the various factions in the Elder Royal Brother. General Ren, you take your men and follow me to the Jin Manor, and capture Jin Liren!"

Ren Fang did not say anything further and stood up immediately, interfering to receive his orders. He really wanted to personally meet Jin Liren now and ask him clearly why he kidnapped his own family. Was it because he listened to Eldest Young Master's orders that he did so?

Under Xiao Xiang's instructions, all the generals under her command started to move. They all gathered their troops and horses, preparing to fight a war within the Zhaoyang City.

It was already late in the night and the Zhaoyang City was completely quiet. However, on this quiet surface, it was already surging undercurrents, as if a storm was about to come.
