"Alas. "Romance debut" received the report, Liu Yu sighed, a killing that was originally thought to be easy turned into a strong attack, casualties of course can not be avoided, he is just an ordinary person, in terms of fighting is not as good as Li Shiyi, these old ruffians, from the process point of view, Li Shiyi's deployment has no flaws, and he may suffer more, because he is the person concerned, and he may not be objective and sober.

More than 20 were killed, more than 30 were wounded, and the total number of casualties of more than 50 people accounted for nearly a quarter of all the people, considering that the number of opponents far exceeded the prior estimate, Liu Yu really couldn't think of accusation, this battle was fought for him, but not only for him. Before the faith was established, it was the brotherhood that maintained the morale of the army, and his hatred of Liu Yu was naturally everyone's hatred, there is no doubt about it, people in this era have a very detached understanding of life and death, and no one will accuse such casualties of what is the significance?

What made him feel relieved was that Li Shiyi's sense of the overall situation was increasing, and it was not his command to call Jiang Ning's department, but the former designed this qiē according to local conditions, and the results achieved were very good. If there is no support from the navy, not to mention anything else, the more than 30 lightly and seriously wounded are a great burden, of course, there is no problem at the moment, the ship was originally equipped with Langzhong, everyone received timely treatment and recuperation, and there was no case of post-war death, which has to be said to be a great achievement.

Jiang Ning's growth is even more significant, just from the name of "Megatron Four Seas" can be seen, they can not only maneuver with the Tartars in the outer ocean, but also the inner bay where the gateway to the capital is located, and basically can come and go freely, which shows that the nautical chart has been drawn close to the real geographical situation, compared to this, the fleet has grown from one to more than ten is nothing.

"Sunset, if you have a spirit in the sky, look at these people who have harmed you, their bodies are separated, and they may not be reincarnated forever. What's more, some people have already lost their families, and their evil deeds have been duly punished, and those who started the work will come one after another, and they will be put here to beg for your forgiveness. At this moment, Liu Yu misses the days of eating skewers and drinking beer, that kind of simple happiness, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have it again.

Liu Yu was holding a wooden box in his hand, and the contents of the box had been placed on the incense case, which was the head of a Han man, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and he should be forty years old. If Li Shiyi's news is not wrong, this person is the kidnapper back then, a gangster in Xiangyang Mansion, an insignificant little character, but after his death, he received unusual treatment, the highest level of the Yuan people, Ma Express, with the fire paint seal of tens of thousands of households in the navy, but unexpectedly sent the head of a nobody.

Liu Yu didn't care about the story behind killing his people and destroying his home, according to the previous person's confession, this line had been in operation for more than 20 years, and at that time the area around Xiangyang Mansion was still the land of the Song people, so they dared to collude with lawbreakers and kidnap their compatriots to foreign countries. From secretly attacking to blatant robbery, I don't know how many innocent people's families have been destroyed, and how many young boys and girls like Sunset have been sold as slaves, so no matter what his subordinates do, Liu Yu will not say anything, and those who are innocent will affect their families, this is the attitude that God should have!

He didn't have the ability to save all the victims, but since he had collided, he wouldn't care, even if it took a little more time for those people to rebuild, there would be fewer victims, and he could imagine the anger of his subordinates when they heard about it, even if they took some risks because of it, it was not a big deal.

Ezhou City, where the Yuan people's newly established Jinghu Xingzhongshu Provincial Branch is located, there are only five people in the spacious meeting hall, Pingzhang Ali Hague, Zhongcheng Lian Xixian, Xie Cheng of tens of thousands of households in the navy and his grandson have recently been promoted to Xie Chenggui, who is a deputy thousand households, and the one standing in the middle is a Mongolian wearing a hat and a robe.

"Missing? What is the reason, who did it, just such a sentence, you asked me to present it to the Great Khan? How many days have passed, this is your final conclusion, Ali Hague Pingzhang, Lian Zhongcheng, if this is the case, it doesn't matter if I go back and be scolded, the Xie family is up and down" He paused for a while, his eyes swept over Xie Cheng's ancestors and grandsons, and then said: "How are you going to explain?" ”

was named, but Ali Hague, the actual commander of the Jinghu front, had no complaints, he and Lian Xixian looked at each other, and both of them saw the helplessness in each other's expressions, but this kind of thing, is it what they want to see?

No wonder the other party is angry, there are only 20,000 households in total among all the captured people, Xie Ruji, the son of the Xie family, the de facto head of the family, and his grandson disappeared so inexplicably, or happened on their own territory, they can imagine what the Great Khan will be like when he knows it, but he and the others have done their best. At this moment, the two newly arrived Mongol cavalry 10,000 troops drove directly into Qizhou without resting, divided into several units and launched a Persian carpet search, and before that, tens of thousands of Han troops had already turned the whole state upside down, but in addition to causing the people to be disturbed and disturbing the chickens and dogs in the counties, no useful clues were found, and those two people, together with an escorted Han army hundred-man team, disappeared without a trace, as if they had never walked before.

What can they say in such a situation? Qizhou was nominally under the rule of the Yuan people, but it was not long before it was new, and the middle and lower-level officials were all the original Song people, and who knows how many of them were with different aspirations. Besides, from the east of Guangji County, basically the same as Chizhou on the other side of the river, there are no people, but the case happened at the junction of the two counties, it is difficult to guarantee that it has nothing to do with the Song people, but what do the Song people want their father and son to do?

"It will grow red." Or Lian Xixian opened his mouth, he has been here for less than a month, and it is not his turn to calculate the responsibility, so if you want to defend it, only he is the most suitable.

This matter was indeed a bit sudden, and when he found out that something was wrong, Pingzhang sent a large army to go, but these thieves disappeared like wings. Several chief officers of the front-line garrison were convicted, Guangji County, which was concerned, was locked up, and Wanhu and Ta'er, the rulers of Qizhou, were suspended from their posts to be surveyed, and whether they were related to this matter is still being investigated, although there are not many clues at present, but they have not found any collusion with the thieves. ”

Lian Xixian's words were said to Xie Cheng and the others, this kind of thing, the Great Khan scruples about the attitude of the Xie family, after all, people are loyal to the country, and they have gone through disasters and are nowhere to be found, if there is no suitable explanation, the cold is not only the heart of the Xie family, the southern expedition is about to begin, and the biggest reliance has to rely on these Han people, and the Mongols can't let themselves fill in the life.

"Solve the old and ten thousand households." Lian Xixian transferred to the two of them, he is the governor of the provincial government, this is also a criminal case, and he naturally has the right to dispose of it.

"The subordinates are here." Xie Cheng replied calmly, and there was no anxiety in his eyes, but Xie Chenggui behind him found that compared with the previous meeting, this eldest father was obviously much older, and at the age of sixty, his hair and temples were already gray.

"What kind of people are there who don't agree with each other, whether it is in the army or in the DPRK." The subject of Lian Xixian's sentence refers to his son, both of whom are in the status of ten thousand households, although there is a relationship between grace and shade, but the credit for the conquest is the most important, which is why they are valued by the Great Khan.

Lian Xixian's words were stunned for a moment, this is a hint that is no longer obvious, take this opportunity to pull some people who can't see it in Ping Suli into the water, no matter what the result is, the Great Khan will not let it go lightly, is this a comfort? Xie Cheng thought about it again and again, but slowly shook his head, he couldn't help but consider the future of the Xie family, as soon as the war is over, the court battle will become the mainstream, at that time, the glory of the Xie family will become the target of everyone, the matter is already like this, what's the use of making more enemies.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was embarrassing, Xie Cheng hurriedly bowed his hand, except for the grandson in the back, everyone here was above him, and people respected him, but he couldn't help but be polite, because he knew it very well in his heart.

Don't look at the previous Mongol's heavy words, in fact, it was not Ali Hague and others who oppressed, but their liberation. This matter has been done to such a point, it is already unimaginable, if he still does not forgive the family, the matter will be in front of the Great Khan, so the Great Khan will definitely be biased towards the Great Khan, but that is not a good thing, it is not only Pingzhang and Zhongcheng who are offended, what do these people want, if Xie Cheng still does not understand at this time, then it will be in vain for so many years.

"The Xie family is valued by the Great Khan and you, and the subordinates are all aware of the five feelings, Da Lang's father and son have an accident, no matter who did it, the Xie family is not with them." When he said this, his eyes swept over Xie Chenggui behind him, who stood up respectfully as if he had not heard of it, with a sad look on his face, and even his eyes were red.

"But since the search in Qizhou has been fruitless, for the sake of the Great Khan, the subordinates think that it is not appropriate to make a big move, if they are still alive, there will always be news coming, if it is unfortunate that my Xie clan will only treat them as sacrificing their lives for the country, those who are not implicated, the subordinates dare to ask for mercy here, let it go."

His words made the three people in the hall breathe a sigh of relief, so closed the door, and tried his best to promise benefits for a long time, don't you just wait for this moment? The Xie family themselves were relieved, even if the matter reached the Great Khan, the responsibility on them would be much smaller, and the Mongol nodded approvingly, his face kind.

"The Great Khan has said many times that the Xie family is the pillar of the country, and I was unwilling to believe it before, but today I have to see Lao Wanhu so high-spirited, so I admire it. Don't worry, I will return to Beijing today, and it is expected that the will of the Great Khan will come soon. ”

The promise of the Mongols is not to send it away like money, he is not all exaggerated, as soon as this kind of thing comes out, the Xie family will be appeased no matter what, and the biggest benefit is to add officials to this Erlang, anyway, the Xie family is less than 10,000 households and 1,000 households, no matter how it is calculated, it is earned.

"Bi Yan Chichang said yes, although the old and thousands of households are worried about the country, and they don't want to be implicated, but I, Zhongcheng, will not stop and rest, this matter is quite strange, since Qizhou does not have it, maybe it is related to the Song people, I will do the Song people's side, and instruct them to go all out to arrest, maybe there will be something to gain."

Of course Lian Xixian will not say it to death, if it is really done by the Song people, where will they admit it, he just hopes to oppress the other party with this attitude, even if he hands over a few scapegoats, from the bottom of his heart, except for the Xie clan, no one here thinks that those who are missing will still be alive, and what they do is just doing their best and obeying the destiny of heaven.

After thanking him again, Xie Cheng took his grandson to say goodbye and leave the house, his camp was on the edge of the Han River outside Ezhou City, and Xie Chenggui was going to return to Xiangyang Mansion and step on his mount, Xie Cheng took a deep look at his grandson under the horse, at this time his expression was no longer calm, and he even had some anger in it when he looked carefully.

"Where were you in those days?" The sudden questioning shocked Xie Chenggui, and he didn't know where he was seen, and he made a sad expression while pretending to be a memory.

"The grandson doesn't know what the eldest father is talking about, if the eldest father is suspicious, then it is useless to say anything, the whereabouts of the grandson, there are records in the army, the eldest father can send someone to investigate, but there is something untrue, let you deal with it, the grandson will never dare to have any complaints."

The more Xie Chenggui spoke, the more excited he became, just right to show the image of a filial son who was wronged and unable to defend himself, Xie Cheng looked at him with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally rode away without saying a word, he didn't want to know anything now, because the truth was probably something he couldn't afford, and similarly, the Xie family couldn't afford it.

"Let's go! Go home. ”

Seeing the figure of the eldest father gradually disappearing at the end, Xie Chenggui put away his previous expression, and slowly turned the corners of his mouth up, revealing a sarcastic look. In fact, he is not afraid of what Xie Cheng knows, when things come to this, he has become the only heir of the long house, does he still have a choice? The interests of the family are higher than Yiqiē, and Xie Chenggui does not believe that he will risk the whole clan falling out of favor, in that case he is the sinner of the Xie clan.

Ali Hague was a moment later than them, and he wanted to return to the Yangluo Fort station, but the Mongol rejected Lian Xixian's hospitality and insisted on walking with him. Of course, Ali Hague understood in his heart that as a confidant of the Great Khan, he would never come this time to deal with something bad like missing people, and as for why, he would naturally not be stupid enough to ask bluntly, the two did not have such a deep friendship.

"Ali Hague Pingzhang, you just didn't say a word, is there another hidden story?" The Mongols lived up to his expectations and asked about Fang Cai as soon as they got on the road, but Ali Hague looked a little embarrassed and did not know how to speak.

Of course, there is a hidden situation, Zhang Hongfan's news has already reached his desk, and the speculation in it makes him dare not report it at all, what do you want to say? His own dog eats dog, and everyone knows what the Great Khan will think when he hears it, so he didn't speak before, but now, Ali Hague has an idea after thinking about it for a while.

"Yan Zhongfan, this person, will you recognize it?" Ali Hague's Mongolian language is quite fluent, but he still chooses Chinese, because the deeper he goes, the more he can feel the charm of Chinese.

"I came here to inquire, isn't this person also missing?" The Mongolian man was a little puzzled, Yan Zhongfan, like the Xie father and son, also disappeared without knowing it, the news was transmitted back to Beijing, and the Yan family couldn't believe it, he looked at Ali Hague's expression, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Pingzhang is to say" Ali Hague nodded, of course this matter will not be hidden from him, suing him is to tell him that he will come to the Great Khan in the future, they are all Han families, they are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and it will not be so simple to deal with, of course, this is something that the Great Khan has to consider, they only need to convey what they know and think.

Ali Hague and he walked side by side, neither of them whipped, it seemed that the horse went by himself, but in fact he secretly controlled the direction, which was not easier than galloping, Ali Hague saw the other party's skills, although this man was not cowardly, but he was in charge of the palace guards, simply put, those arrogant cowards were under his control.

"The matter was found out by Zhang Hongfan, and he did not favor any family, but these are not enough to explain anything, it can be said that they are all just speculation. If Bija Chichang wants me to come up with any evidence, please forgive Ali Hague for not being able to do it, because of this, I didn't report the matter, you go back to Beijing this time, please bring my words to the Great Khan, with the wisdom of His Majesty, you should be able to see something. ”

Ali Hague's tone looked a little helpless, but what should be said still has to be said, what the truth is only known to the parties concerned, which of the two families is more reasonable, only the Great Khan can judge, these courtiers, the last thing they want to touch is something like this, the Mongolian man also felt very embarrassed when he heard it, because there is no real evidence, will the Great Khan believe it? If you believe it, how to deal with it, these must be taken into account.

"I will show you the Great Khan about this matter, and you don't have to worry, but Namu Tie'er's house, it's been a few months under your account, and he hasn't caused you trouble." The man asked, as if inadvertently.

"What do you say?"

Hearing him mention this matter, Ali Hague was not angry, he really didn't understand, why did the Great Khan send such a person here, clearly saying that he was serving in front of his own account, but who could really dispatch him, besides, what could he do? Is it specifically to disturb the people?

However, a hundred households, in fact, did not put on Ali Hague's heart, if he violated the military law, he said that he would kill it, and the Great Khan would not have any blame, which Ali Hague knew very well, but how could anything be so simple, as the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, and in this frontline place, the king suddenly sent you a person with a low position but a special status, anyone will mumble in their hearts, is there no intention of surveillance? Ali Hague didn't dare to think about it anymore, thinking of this man who looked like an envoy asking questions in person, not to mention the meaning of the words.

"Ali Hague, you are a smart man, there are some things that you don't need to say thoroughly." The man said softly, Ali Hague listened to these brainless words, his heart was stunned, and then he was shocked, of course he is a smart person, and he thought of something as soon as he contacted him.

"You mean the Great Khan wants" He was interrupted before he could finish his words, and the man's tone became a little cold, but the words were unmistakable.

"I didn't say anything."
