Prince Xiye's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Kedun, wronged, please call the shots!" ”

"When you saw that the king of Khan had a banquet and invited us to the banquet, you were disgusted." Yuwen Chengchao pressed step by step: "Muzad was poisoned, but he deliberately poisoned himself and died, so it makes people feel that he has been poisoned before him, and before him, it happens to be our Tang people, so you can succeed in the insidious plan to pull out the discord." ”

"You talk nonsense, you ..... You're lying! "The eloquence of the Prince of the West Night is obviously very ordinary, and he is even more pressed by Yuwen Chengchao, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Once the poisonous plan succeeds, Wutuo and Datang will fall into a battle between swords and soldiers." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "At that time, the Heavenly Khan will mobilize heavy troops to march eastward, and your countries in the Western Regions will be safe." Wutuo and Datang are both big countries, and once the war starts, no matter who wins or loses, in the end, both sides lose. ”

The white shopkeeper remained silent, and finally spoke at this time: "If the Veda Khanate is severely damaged and its vitality is greatly damaged, it is even possible that the countries of the Western Regions may unite to attack the Vedas. ”

"Not bad." Yuwen Chengchao said: "Kedun, the people of the West Night harbor evil intentions, and they must be investigated." ”

Ke Dun was thoughtful, but Xue Qilu leaned close to Ke Dun's ear and whispered a few words, but Ke Dun bowed slightly, thought for a while, and finally ordered: "Ye Heju, take down all the people in the West Night." ”

The prince of the western night changed in horror, Ye Heju hesitated, and finally waved his hand, and the wolf guards swarmed up, tying up the prince of the western night and the group of people under him in the blink of an eye.

"Kedun, wronged, we are wronged." The Prince of the West Night shouted, "The people of the Tang Kingdom have framed us, they are ..... bad people!" ”

Xue Qilu had already said coldly: "The Western Nights conspired to kill the Khan King, the evidence is conclusive, put them on death row, and when the Khan King is buried, use the heads of these Western Nightmen to sacrifice." ”

The people of the Western Nights all shouted, but the wolf guards couldn't help but say anything, and dragged them down.

Qin Xiao was a little surprised in his heart, thinking how could Ke Dun be so happy that he was sure that it must be the people of the West Night.

"Prince Yuwen, King Khan has passed away, and the city will be closed tonight." Xue Qilu said: "I can't continue to take care of you here, if you have something, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”

Xue Qilu directly issued an eviction order, which surprised Qin Xiao even more, but Yuwen Chengchao had already given up his hand and said: "Kedun, Qi Jin, after we go back, we will clean up immediately and go out of the city before dawn, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Ke Dun didn't say much, just nodded, turned around and entered the palace.

Ye Heju took two steps forward, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.

Yuwen Cheng said to Qin Xiao and the others: "Let's go back to the protocol first." Without delay, he quickly left the palace of the Khan with everyone.

Back at the concierge house, Yuwen Chengchao immediately said to a few people: "Hurry up and clean up, after half an hour, meet at the front door, and before dawn, we will rush out of the city." "Not much to say.

Qin Xiao had some doubts in his heart, but seeing Yuwen Chengchao's solemn expression, he didn't want to ask too much.

Qin Xiao actually didn't have anything to clean up, he just went to the stable of the concierge house to find his black overlord, and waited outside the main gate of the concierge house early, and it didn't take half an hour, everyone else also came out, the white shopkeeper and Tang Rong took the carriage, the others all rode horses, Haniz sat behind Qin Xiao, Yuwen Chengchao gave an order, and everyone quickly went to the city gate.

The gate is closed, okay

In Xue Qilu, someone had already been sent to wait here, and when he saw Yuwen Chengchao and the others, the person stepped forward and whispered to Yuwen Chengchao: "Let me tell you, the faster the person who takes you, the better, and take care of yourself on the road." ”

Yuwen Chengchao arched his hand and said: "Please tell Lao Qi Jin and thank him for his kindness." ”

Out of the city, Yuwen Chengchao asked everyone to speed up, as if fleeing from White Wolf City.

By dawn, it was already a hundred miles away from White Wolf City, and there was not even time to catch his breath on the way.

"Grand Prince, are we going to Fort Zephyr?" Qin Xiao urged the horse to Yuwen Chengchao's side and asked.

Haniz wants to return to China with the elite Hu Shang, and he is bound to go to the West Wind Fort to hand over Haniz to the Hu Shang, and Dapeng and many Tang merchants are also in the West Wind Fort at the moment, so they naturally want to meet them.

Yuwen Chengchao nodded, looked up at the sky, and said, "Let's eat dry food and continue to hurry, faster." ”

At that moment, everyone stopped, and when they set off last night, Fat Fish had already prepared a lot of dry food, mainly beef jerky, and distributed it to everyone for consumption.

"Eldest Prince, why did Ke Dun let us leave so quickly?" Qin Xiao saw Yuwen Chengchao eating dry food alone on the side, looking thoughtful, approached the past, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Is he really sure that it was the people of the West Night who poisoned him?" ”

"It's not the people of the West Night, who do you think it is?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao with a solemn expression.

Qin Xiao said: "It is also possible that the Vedas themselves poisoned. Qi Fushan died, but his power was not completely eliminated, and there may be people from the Khan Palace, and the maid who had been pouring wine for the White Wolf King last night had a chance to poison him. ”

Yuwen Chengchao stared at Qin Xiao's eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he just said after all: "It's possible." After a pause, he said: "Ke Dun can't be sure that the murderer is the West Night, but only the West Night people are the murderers, and it is good for them, so it doesn't matter whether the West Night people are murderers or not." ”

"Not important?"

"Do you know what will happen if Khatun decides that we are the murderers of the Khan?" Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were deep.

"Woods march eastward, swords and soldiers meet!"

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "Yes, if we are murderers, we will be in the arms of Brother Nalusheng." He sighed: "The White Wolf Department is in the easternmost part of the Vedic Khanate, and if it really wants to fight, the soldiers and horses will not only gather in the territory of the White Wolf Department, but the White Wolf Department will probably also serve as the vanguard." ”

Yuwen Chengchao said this, and Qin Xiao suddenly realized.

Brother Nalu Sheng led the army eastward, and the soldiers and horses of the eight Wutuo tribes would naturally gather in the territory of the White Wolf Department, and they might not have entered the Kunlun Pass, but they would be on the side of the White Wolf Department's territory, and the White Wolf Department would also suffer great losses.

If the White Wolf Department is the vanguard, it is inevitable to fight the Tang Army first, at that time, no matter whether it wins or loses, the White Wolf Department will definitely lose many soldiers and horses, and even lead to the weakening of the White Wolf Department.

Of course, Ke Dun and the officials under her know the subtleties of this, and they will approach everything to avoid war with Datang.

"If the murderer is the Western Nights, the Vedas only need to go west to attack the Western Nights." Yuwen Chengchao said: "The White Wolf Department only needs to send a soldier and horse, their own territory will not be invaded, and the new Khan King can be allowed to ascend to the throne, the previous policy will remain unchanged, and continue to trade with us." "Look up at the sky:"

As long as the trade is not interrupted and the White Wolf Department does not have to fight and bleed, the nobles can enjoy many benefits, and they naturally still want the previous policy of the White Wolf King to continue. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this was true, the prosperity of trade not only benefited the White Wolf King personally, but of course the nobles of the White Wolf Department were also full of money, otherwise without the support of these nobles, the White Wolf King alone would not be able to implement the trade policy smoothly.

"Ke Dun's mind is naturally to support his son to ascend to the throne." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "As far as I know, Ke Dun has two sons, who are not very old and have mediocre talents, but as long as one is supported to ascend to the throne, Ke Dun can control the power of the White Wolf Department, so she never wants to start a war with Datang at such a time." A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Even if the poison in the wine glass is really ours, Ke Dun will put the name of the murderer on the head of the West Night Kingdom, but it is just a matter of interests, it is a conspiracy, and in the face of interests, the truth is not worth mentioning." ”

Qin Xiao said: "So she asked us to leave Wutuo quickly, worried that something would change?" ”

"Not bad." Yuwen Chengchao frowned: "Xue Qilu is a person from Kedun, although the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower is reckless and hostile to us, but he is Kedun's brother, so he naturally obeys Kedun's wishes...... 1”

"Toothbone Mountain Tower is Kedun's brother?" When Qin Xiao heard about it for the first time, he was really surprised.

Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "So you don't know. At that time, the eight tribes of Wutuo from Moxi to Kunlun Pass, the white wolf department was one of the eight departments, and the white wolf department was composed of more than a dozen families when it was in Moxi, and the people of the beggar tribe served as the head of the tribe, in addition to the begging family, the tooth bone family was also one of them. Today's White Wolf tribe is composed of dozens of tribes, most of which are tribes conquered by them, and the Yagu family is also the most powerful family of the White Wolf Family in addition to the beggar family. ”

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "So the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower can become Ye Hu because of his background. ”

"This person is brave and unscrupulous, if he wasn't born in the Tooth Bone family, how could he become Ye Hu?" Yuwen Chengchao said: "The Vedic people attach great importance to their origins. After a pause, he said: "As soon as the Khan King dies, Kedun still has some strength in his hands, but she is not as good as the White Wolf King, and there are beggars among the White Wolf tribe, and these people are likely to take the opportunity to get together and make enemies of Kedun and destroy Kedun's plan." ”

"Ke Dun let us go, because he is worried that the beggar will be bad for us?"

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "My identity has been known by many people, they know that I am a member of the Yuwen family, and the remnants of the begging family know very well that as long as I am killed in the Woods, then the trade will inevitably be interrupted, and what Kedun hopes is to continue to maintain trade with us, of course he does not want us to encounter trouble in the Woods." ”

"I see." Qin Xiao suddenly realized: "Eldest son, could there really be someone who is unfavorable to us?" ”

"I don't know." Yu Wencheng looked in the direction of White Wolf City: "As soon as the Khan King dies, the dragons are leaderless, and anything can happen." There are remnants of begging in the White Wolf Department, and there are Nalu Shengge outside, and it is not yet known whether Kedun will be able to successfully support the new Khan King to ascend the throne. The fate of Xiling is also in the hands of Kedun.....! With a solemn expression, he got up and shouted to everyone: "Let's go, we can't delay, we must feel the West Wind Fort as soon as possible, meet with the caravan, and hurry back to Xiling." ”
