Chapter 766 Ask for clarification
"Deliberately?" Yan Ruojiu frowned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey...... To tell the truth, as soon as something happened to Jeong-hee, I immediately sent someone to investigate and search, but no matter what I did, someone would secretly report the news back to Beijing, and now ...... The emperor had already ordered the search to be stopped, and ......" Ling Junyi paused again.
"And what?" Jiang Xiaohan was anxious.
"And let me secretly escort the tiger talisman back to Beijing." Ling Junyi frowned and said helplessly.
"Tiger Talisman?" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Yan Ruojiu's mind.
"Shhh...... Wouldn't the emperor's move mess up the morale of the army? Jiang Xiaohan looked surprised.
"Hey......" Ling Junyi just shook his head and sighed.
"You, you're not going to give it, are you?" Jiang Xiaohan asked again.
"The emperor's order, we don't wait or obey, but...... Outside, some things can't be left to the emperor, I'm still trying to delay, after all...... Now the border is in this situation, and there is no tiger charm, which is really dangerous. Ling Junyi sighed.
"Whew...... Yes, there is no tiger talisman, how to order the three armies, it's just ...... The emperor's move is indeed too strange, if something happens to the army, he, the emperor, will not be stable, but why should he decide like this, it is a little inappropriate. Yan Ruojiu was also confused.
"I heard that the southwest side has also received the order to take back the tiger talisman, and his piece of tiger talisman is already on the way, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Beijing." Ling Junyi revealed another piece of news.
"Shhh...... It's strange, why is he in such a hurry to recall the Tiger Talisman? Doesn't he know that the tiger talisman is a sharp sword to suppress the border, what kind of trouble is the emperor going to make in this matter? Jiang Xiaohan was a little stunned.
"Actually...... I can understand it...... As an emperor, military power is indeed the most important, and without a tiger talisman to protect oneself, it is inevitable that he will feel uneasy. Yan Ruojiu suddenly smiled.
"What?" Jiang Xiaohan was stunned.
"Little brother and sister, what did you say?" Ling Junyi was also surprised.
"Whew...... Maybe you don't know that the first emperor passed the throne to Jiang Hongxuan back then, but the white tiger and tiger talisman was not given to him, but was given to Ziran's brother to protect himself, the green dragon and tiger talisman, the first emperor did not take it back, it has always been in the hands of his aunt and eldest princess, plus the two pieces in the hands of the border generals in the north and south, a total of four tiger talismans, are not in the hands of the emperor, of course he is very uneasy......" Yan Ruojiu explained with a smile.
"Oh...... No wonder, in the past few years, the emperor has always been polite to Uncle Xiao and Uncle Prince An, it turns out that he is uneasy and has no confidence......" Jiang Xiaohan said clearly.
"But your little uncle didn't use this to blackmail the emperor, this is just the decision of the first emperor to take precautions, Jiang Hongxuan is a very suspicious person, there are such two potential threats, of course he can't sleep...... Hiss...... Wait, it's hard to sleep...... Don't...... Did he do it? A terrible thought flashed through Yan Ruojiu's mind.
"Little brother and sister?"
"Sister Yan, what are you talking about?" Ling Junyi and Jiang Xiaohan said strangely.
"Madam, do you suspect that the third master's accident this time was deliberately designed by the emperor in order to seize the tiger talisman?" Jiang Zhong, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up.
"It's him, so it's possible." Yan Ruojiu did not deny it.
"What?" Jiang Xiaohan looked stunned and said, "Hiss...... This...... No wonder, no wonder, the emperor is so embarrassed Sister Yan, it turned out to be for the tiger talisman in the hands of the little uncle, but, no, isn't the tiger talisman in the hands of Uncle Prince An, how could he even have an accident with the little uncle? ”
"Because...... Before your little uncle left Beijing, the eldest princess of your aunt had already handed him the piece of green dragon and tiger talisman in her hand, but it was just ...... The emperor knows if he knows this news, I don't know for sure, but, your little uncle, even if he doesn't have a tiger talisman, in the emperor's opinion, it is a great threat to him, after all, we and Brother Ziran are all the way, and the emperor is not so merciful. Yan Ruojiu sneered.
"Shhh...... What a bastard! Jiang Xiaohan said angrily.
"Hmph...... There's a lot of bastard for him. Yan Ruojiu said disdainfully.
"Little brother and sister, this ...... Can you be sure? Ling Junyi knew that this matter was difficult, so he carefully confirmed.
"Then you have to trouble Second Brother Ling, tell me what happened in detail." Yan Ruojiu's thoughts gradually became clear.
"Hey...... It's a shame to say, the specific situation, I haven't investigated it yet, you know, now we can only investigate secretly, not only to think about the relationship with Mongolia, but also to be careful of the emperor's eyes.
Actually, now that I think it's weird, with Jung-hee's ability, it definitely shouldn't be.
On that day, after the triumph, I led the army back to the camp first, and Zhengxi and Prince An said that there were other things to discuss with the Mongol Great Khan, and they were a few steps late.
They only brought some retinues, but more than a hundred people, I thought about the relationship between Mongolia and us, and then thought about it, the relationship between Zhengxi, Prince An and the Great Khan of Mongolia, so I didn't ask too much.
After all, this battle is also a joint effort between our two countries, and it should be discussed, and I am relieved, but ...... Before we could get back to the barracks, I was shocked to hear the news that Jeong-hee and the others had been attacked along the way! Reinforcements immediately returned. Ling Junyi recalled.
"Hiss......" Yan Ruojiu, Jiang Xiaohan and Jiang Zhong frowned when they heard this.
"Where did the attack take place?" Yan Ruojiu asked.
"This is also my strange place, and it is an important factor for the emperor to dare to assert that the attack took place on the border between Mongolia and China, closer to the territory of Mongolia." Ling Junyi frowned.
"Shhh...... So how did you get to the situation? Yan Ruojiu asked again.
"By the time I rushed over with people to support, those people had already evacuated quickly, and Jeong-hee and Prince Ahn were gone.
I sent men to pursue and search along the road, but there was nothing else but the corpses of our soldiers, until we reached the edge of the border, and had to stop, and nothing was found.
But...... Since they weren't found, it means that there's a good chance they're still alive, but they're just ...... So far, we haven't received any news of redemption or any signs of discovery, so ......" Ling Junyi said, the more strange the crowd became.
"Shhh...... I didn't see any trace of my uncle all the way, did I chase the wrong direction? Jiang Xiaohan asked.
"No, the direction of our army's corpses only points in one direction to Mongolia." Ling Junyi explained.
"Then, is this really Mongolia's so-called?" Jiang Xiaohan frowned and said in surprise.
"This ...... Whether it is or not, judging from the evidence, I can't be sure, but ...... I still say that, I don't believe it......," Ling Junyi said.
"Whew...... Could it be that the emperor did it together with the Mongols? Jiang Xiaohan frowned again and speculated.
"This possibility...... It's not big," Yan Ruojiu said what she thought in her heart.
"I think so too...... Based on what you have provided, I now think that the Emperor is more and more likely to have done this. Ling Junyi frowned deeply.
"Whew...... It's complicated...... Looks like I'm going to have to go to Mongolia as soon as possible. Yan Ruojiu sighed after thinking for a while.
"Sister Yan...... You, you, in this situation, you still decided to go to Mongolia? Jiang Xiaohan frowned, looking worried.
"Yes, I have to go, all this points to Mongolia, I have to find out the truth." Yan Ruojiu said firmly.
"Shhh...... Little brother and sister, no. Ling Junyi objected.
"Second Brother Ling, I have to go." Yan Ruojiu insisted.
"Little brother and sister, listen to me, I know that you have a good relationship with the Great Khan of Mongolia, but now that the two countries are at odds with each other, just with the personal relationship between you, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure safety, you ...... Can't go ......," Ling Junyi said meaningfully.
"Second Brother Ling, I have to go, I have a hunch that Zhengxi and they are in Mongolia, and ...... There's got to be a huge conspiracy here, if I don't see them soon...... Even...... It's really going to change......" Yan Ruojiu said worriedly.
"You mean...... Will the emperor kill them all? Ling Junyi frowned.
"Wouldn't he?" Yan Ruojiu raised her eyebrows.
"Whew...... But...... Mongolia is now ...... You...... I don't ...... worried," Ling Junyi still hesitated.
"With Jiang Zhong here, I should be fine, as long as I can see Tuoke, this matter will be possible......" Yan Ruojiu had already made up her mind.
"Whew...... Okay, since you have made up your mind, then I won't say much against it, so I will arrange another team of men and horses to escort you across the line. Ling Junyi decided.
"Thank you, Second Brother Ling, but ...... In order not to leak the news, the matter of sending people will be exempted, and I still have something I want to ask Second Brother Ling for help. Yan Ruojiu said.
"It's okay for you to say, I'll do my best." Ling Junyi replied.
"Find out the mole, but don't alarm him, spy on him, and wait for my news." Yan Ruojiu pleaded.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to you...... When to go? Ling Junyi asked.
"Let's leave tonight." Yan Ruojiu didn't want to delay for a moment.
"Okay, then you should be careful...... I will be sure to return safely! Ling Junyi choked up a little.
"Okay, I will." Yan Ruojiu also knew that the future of this trip was uncertain, but she still made up her mind, because there was probably all her hope there.
