Chapter 233: The Shadow Behind It

Qin Xiao said: "I remember that the eldest prince said that those weapons could never be transported from the Guannei, and they were different from the sabers of the Wutuo people, so they may have been forged in Xiling." But there are only a handful of people in Xiling who have the strength to forge so many weapons. ”

"I didn't say it directly at the time." Yuwen Chengchao said: "There are only a handful of so-called, and there are only three. ”

"The three major families of Xiling?"

"Not bad." Yuwen Chengchao said: "To forge weapons, iron ore is indispensable, and it is necessary to recruit blacksmiths who forge weapons, and in addition, you must choose a hidden place to prevent being discovered." The most important of these is iron ore, the best iron mine in the three counties, which is under our noses. Let's just say that in this Yuwen County, several iron ores are under the control of our Yuwen family, in addition to mining, there will also be mountain guards on weekdays, so without the permission of my Yuwen family, it is impossible for anyone to secretly steal iron ore, and then take the iron ore to forge weapons. ”

Qin Xiao said: "I see. ”

"I've had doubts in Jigong Gorge." Yuwen Chengchao said: "The weapons that Ding Zixiu hoarded, of course, will not be provided by my Yuwen family, so in Xiling, only the Zhen family and the Fan family have this strength." However, the three major families have always joined forces to suppress bandits, and this private cultivation has never been before, so although I have doubts in my heart, I am not sure. ”

"Eldest prince, you said that Ding Zixiu's weapon was secretly provided by the Zhen family, so how can you be sure?" Qin Xiao asked.

Yuwen Chengchao said: "It's because of those two letters." ”

Qin Xiao groaned slightly, and then said: "Eldest prince, although I have a grudge against the Zhen family, but with all due respect, the Zhen family will definitely find his motive by doing this, and this matter is very important, but it cannot be determined that the Zhen family did it by relying on two secret letters." ”

"You're right." Yuwen Chengchao said: "Do you know what is written in the secret letter?" ”

Qin Xiao shook his head, Yuwen Chengchao had already said: "The Zhen family secretly took refuge in the Utuo people, he wants to join forces with the Utuo people when the Utuo people make a comeback, sneak attack from behind, and attack the Utuo people on both sides, putting our Yuwen family and the Fan family to death." ”

"Really?" Qin Xiao changed slightly: "Zhen family..... The Zhen family has such a vicious heart? ”

"Now you should understand why the Zhen family is secretly supporting people like Ding Zixiu." Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "If one day the Woodlands really kill, we will gather our strength to fight to the death with the Woods, and put all our attention on the Woodlands in the west, at this time, the Zhen family took the opportunity to attack from the east, and the chess pieces he buried in Yuwen County, just like Ding Zixiu, such as Ding Zixiu, suddenly appeared, we were caught off guard, and the consequences were bound to be unimaginable." ”

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "The eldest prince, the Wutuo people have come to kill, the people of Xiling should unite as one to resist them, why did the Zhen family attack behind their backs?" With all due respect, if the Yuwen family and the Fan family collapse, how can the Zhen family protect themselves? And if he does this, it is treason, how can the court spare the Zhen family? ”

Yuwen Cheng looked ahead, it was late, the surroundings were dark, and the wind was whistling in the distance, like a ghost howling.

"The Zhen family and the Vedic people have an agreement." Yuwen Chengchao finally said: "He assisted the Vedas to eat Xiling, and the Vedas will crown him king." ”

Qin Xiao frowned and clenched his fists and said, "He actually wants to help the Vedas annex Xiling?" This..... It's outrageous. ”

"If you hadn't gotten those two letters, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "Who would have thought of the Zhen family

He has already betrayed the Tang Dynasty and Xiling. ”

"The eldest prince, since you have those two secret letters as evidence, can you submit them to the imperial court, and the imperial court will handle this matter?" Qin Xiao said: "Defecting to the enemy and treason is a great crime, and the court will never spare the Zhen family." ”

Yuwen Chengchao said: "I know that you hate the Zhen family to the core, but this matter should not be rushed. Don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge your grudge with the Zhen family. Then he smiled and said: "You have made such a great achievement, my father wants to reward you with something, and then I think that you have not yet settled in the city, so I am going to reward you with a house, what do you think?" ”

Qin Xiao knew that this must be Uncle Meng who spoke in the ear of the old marquis, and said: "Eldest prince, in fact, I don't have any great merit, this reward is too heavy, I ......!"

"Don't be presumptuous." Yuwen Chengchao said: "Reward your house, you can choose it when the time comes." There are a few mansions in the city, all of which are good, and if you don't like them, just say them, buy them and give them to you. ”

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Eldest son, where does the white shopkeeper live?" If the old marquis really wants to reward, it will be good to be neighbors with the white shopkeeper at that time. ”

Yuwen Chengchao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, you want to be closer to Tang Rong, right?" ”

"Actually, I also want to ask the white shopkeeper for more advice when I have time in the future." Qin Xiao smiled.

"You really don't want me to help you?" Yuwen Chengchao seemed to smile: "Tang Rong is not young, she has long passed the year of marriage, and the white shopkeeper is probably worried about her." I see that you have a good relationship with Tang Rong, she seems to have some meaning to you, and when the time comes, the white shopkeeper will come forward and say it, there should be no problem in this matter. ”

Qin Xiao said: "Eldest prince, I said last time, I rely on my own ability to do this, if I become natural, it will be better, but I really can't do it, it is because I have no ability." ”

"That's fine." Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said: "The house next door to the white shopkeeper is not our Yuwen family, but since you like it, I will naturally help you." But that's okay, you live next door to the white shopkeeper, and in the future, you really marry Tang Rong as your wife, and you can take care of the white shopkeeper next to each other. ”

Qin Xiao said: "Eldest son, is the white shopkeeper's leg unhealable?" ”

"The Vedas are too fierce." Yuwen Cheng's face was cold: "Not only did I break my leg bones, but even my hamstrings were broken, and it was not easy to recover." But we will also look for a famous doctor and treat him as much as we can.....! sighed: "He paid such a price to keep the White Wolf King, but the White Wolf King still ...... in the end!" Didn't go on.

Qin Xiao said: "Eldest prince, Haniz matter, thank you for ......!"

"No more mention." Yuwen Chengchao raised his hand and said: "The White Wolf King is dead, Haniz's life or death is no longer important, since I handed her over to you, I just let her live, you don't have to feel any guilt." In fact, I also understand that if she escapes secretly after returning to the protocol that night, we will be in a catastrophe, she did not escape alone, but stayed, I know that she is for you, she has affection for you, if you don't save her from death, I think you are ruthless and unjust. ”

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "It turns out that the eldest prince knows it in his heart. ”

"She's also under the command of others, but she's just a tool." Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "I want to know, who is behind her, and why she wants to poison the White Wolf King." ”

"Could it be Brother Nalu's people?" Qin Xiao said.

Yuwen Chengchao said: "Naturally, it is also possible, but Brother Nalu Sheng is the Khan of the Veda Heaven, if he really uses this kind of small means, it is really too embarrassing." Wei Yi groaned, looked at Qin Xiao, and said: "Haniz was brought to Xiling by Hu Shang, and was bought by Lanyuefang for a lot of money, and became the dancing girl of Lanyuefang. Before you met her, she had only just arrived in Lanyue Fang, and if it weren't for my desire to give her to the White Wolf King and take her with her to the Woods, she wouldn't have had any chance of getting close to the White Wolf King. ”

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "So her goal at the beginning couldn't be the White Wolf King at all. If Brother Nalu Sheng wanted to use her to assassinate the White Wolf King, how could he let Hu Shang sell her to Xiling? ”

"You're right." Yuwen Chengchao said: "So she shouldn't be Brother Nalu's person." After a pause, he continued: "If Brother Nalu Sheng really wants to use a woman to assassinate the White Wolf King, you can use Hu Shang to send her to the White Wolf City and present her to the White Wolf King. Haniz is beautiful, if Hu Shang dedicates her to the White Wolf King, she will inevitably be favored by the White Wolf King, and at that time, it will be easy to assassinate the White Wolf King. ”

"Haniz assassinated the White Wolf King, and Brother Nalu Sheng sent someone to destroy the Hu Shang who came to Haniz, then no one knew that Brother Nalu Sheng was behind Haniz." Qin Xiao said: "So it is impossible for Haniz to be sent to Xiling. ”

Yuwen Chengchao pondered: "Haniz is not Brother Nalusheng's person, she followed us to Wuda, and the initial goal was definitely not to be the White Wolf King." Wei Yi groaned, and suddenly thought of something: "I understand!" ”

"What did the eldest prince think?"

"We set a trap, killed the beggar Fushan, and escorted the White Wolf King back to White Wolf City." Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were like knives: "And at that time, Haniz stayed in the West Wind Fort, and then she rushed from the West Wind Castle to the White Wolf City alone, and used you to enter the Khan Palace." Haniz was in Zephyr when we set the trap, and she must have had contact with people at that time. ”

"The eldest prince means that there are Haniz's comrades in Zephyr Castle." Qin Xiao also understood: "Haniz originally had no plan to assassinate the White Wolf King, but she had contact with her comrades in the West Wind Castle, and accepted the task of assassinating the White Wolf King from her comrades, so she immediately set off to White Wolf City, and she went to White Wolf City for the purpose of using me to get close to the White Wolf King and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him." ”

Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "It must be so." Either someone has been watching Haniz from behind, and after we left Zephyr Castle, we immediately found Haniz and gave her the task of assassination, but this possibility is relatively small, Haniz was taken to Veda on my improvised behalf, and along the way, we were not followed, so the possibility of monitoring Haniz at all times is too small. After a pause, he continued: "There is another possibility, that force has a stronghold in Zephyr Fortress, and Haniz avoids the others, takes the initiative to contact the accomplices of the stronghold, and accepts the assassination mission, which is much more likely. ”

"In this way, the force behind Haniz is not small." Qin Xiao said: "If it's not Brother Nalusheng, who instructed Haniz to assassinate?" Did they assassinate the White Wolf King also to provoke a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Wutuo? ”

Yuwen Cheng looked towards it, his pupils contracted, and he said suddenly: "Wild West Death Wing!" ”
