Lu Xiaoxian was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and he asked him, "What is going on?" ”

He said with a smile: "I heard a sneering sound at the door just now, and when I entered the door, I saw that Zeng Cha's body had turned into green smoke and flew, and it was only ...... Only this skeleton remains. ”

How is this possible?

Of course, Lu Xiaoxian would not believe that there were ghosts and gods, he walked slowly to the white bones, seemed to have found something, and sucked it vigorously. A faint fragrance of musk, like musk deer, like sandalwood but not sandalwood, as if there is or not, wafted past the end of his nose.

Lu Xiaoxian was suddenly a little confused, and almost fell to the ground.

What's going on? Lu Xiaoxian didn't dare to stay in the house anymore, and hurriedly walked out of the mortuary, and it took a while to wake up.

What kind of fragrance is this, so powerful?

Lu Xiaoxian guessed that the problem was in this fragrance. He immediately ordered someone to go to Zeng Cha's house and take all the incense he burned on weekdays, but he didn't see any name.

Just when Lu Xiaoxian was helpless, Leng Qing's subordinates sent to Lingzhou and Liangzhou rushed back.

"How? What's the situation? Lu Xiaoxian asked impatiently.

The "vulture" glanced at Guo Qin beside Lu Xiaoxian and Leng Qing and did not speak.

"Don't shy away from Guo Tingshi, he is his own person!" Lu Xiaoxian said to the "vulture".

Only then did the "vulture" tell what he knew.

Lu Xiaoxian listened, closed his eyes and pondered.

He dared to conclude that the so-called death of the Tuyuhun people by heaven was absolutely a cover-up, and there was another inside story in this, and someone must be secretly manipulating this matter, but he couldn't find any clues for a while.

The Tuyuhun people who died mysteriously in Liangzhou and Lingzhou added up to a total of twenty-three people, which was much less than that of Taozhou City. This shows that Taozhou City is the key, and the people behind the scenes may be hiding in Taozhou City.

Also, the bizarre deaths of these Tuyuhun people in Liang and Lingzhou are the same as Taozhou City, and they all happened from the first month of the previous year to the present, which shows that the Tuyuhun people killed in Taozhou, Liangzhou and Lingzhou are all victims of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the people behind the scenes should have arrived in Taozhou City before the first case.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian said to Guo Qin: "Guo Tingshi, you immediately arrange for someone to clean up all the people who moved to Taozhou City to settle in Taozhou City within two months before the first case, and I will ask Mr. Leng to send someone to assist you!" ”

Guo Qin's face was stunned, nodded and said, "I'll arrange it now!" ”

"Wait!" Lu Xiaoxian stopped Guo Qin, thought for a moment and said, "Whether it is Taozhou, Liangzhou and Lingzhou, the dead Tuyuhun people are all men in their fifties, not more than sixty years old, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Leng Qing and Guo Qin glanced at each other, yes, how could it be so coincidental, even if it was punished by God, why did God favor a Tuyuhun man of this age so much?

Lu Xiaoxian asserted: "There must be some similarities or inevitable connections between these deceased!" ”

"Master Lu!" The "vulture" on the side suddenly interjected, "When I was in Liangzhou, I overheard a message, and I don't know if it's useful?" ”

"Tell me about it!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded at the "vulture".

"One of the Tuyuhun people who died in Liangzhou City once served in the Tubo army, and it seems that he also participated in the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Dafeichuan that year!"

Hearing the words of the "vulture", Guo Qin couldn't help but be shocked, and his whole body trembled.

"Guo Tingshi, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xiaoxian asked strangely.

Guo Qin's eyes flowed with tears, and he said in a heavy tone: "In the battle with Tubo Dafeichuan back then, how many good men in my Tang army were buried on the shore of Qinghai Lake, every time I think of this, I don't feel good in my heart!" ”

After listening to Guo Qin's sad and indignant words, Lu Xiaoxian and Leng Qing were silent, the battle of Dafeichuan can be described as an eternal pain in the hearts of the men in the Tang Army.

The Battle of Dafeichuan was a battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for the homeland of Tuyuhun. In the first year of Xianheng, Gaozong ordered Xue Rengui, the general of the right guard, to be the general of the march of the Luo Dao, and the general of the right guard, Ashina Daozhen, and the general of the left guard, Guo Beifeng, as the deputies, and led 100,000 troops to conquer Tibet.

The Tang Army's name of "Luosuo" may have the meaning of going straight to the Yellow Dragon after victory." Before the war, the Tang side was full of ambition and boldly went deeper.

The Tibetan general Qinling led 400,000 troops to be stationed near Qinghai Lake, waiting for an opportunity to meet the battle. In July of the same year, Xue Rengui's 100,000-strong army arrived in Dafeichuan. In view of the difficult and dangerous march path, carrying heavy grain and grass will inevitably affect the speed of the march, Xue Rengui decided to leave the heavy grain and grass on the Dafei River, and Guo Shifeng led 20,000 soldiers to guard the baggage, and led the army to find the main force of Tubo for a decisive battle.

Guo Beifeng is the second son of the famous general Guo Xiaoke, who once guarded Shancheng Town, because of his self-esteem from a famous family, Guo Beifeng was unwilling to succumb to Xue Rengui and often disobeyed orders. He led the team to advance without authorization, and failed to meet the coach in time. The Tubo army seized the fighter plane and invited more than 200,000 people to attack its troops, Guo Beifeng could not resist the enemy, and his baggage, grain and grass were lost.

Xue Rengui had just won a battle at the mouth of the river, but the news of Guo's defeat came from the rear, and there was no logistical support, so Xue Rengui had to retreat to Dafeichuan. In Dafeichuan, the Qinling Tomb had already prepared an army of 400,000 for Xue Rengui. The two armies clashed, the Tang army, which was demoralized and outnumbered, was defeated, and the 100,000-strong army was annihilated.

The Battle of Dafeichuan was the first large-scale military contest between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet. After this battle, the Tuyuhun homeland was completely controlled by the Tibetans.

Lu Xiaoxian asked the "vulture": "Is your news accurate?" Who did you listen to? ”

"I overheard someone from the Mansion of the Great Princess of Xiping! Should be accurate! ”

The eldest princess of Xiping, also known as Princess Honghua, was born in the fifth year of Gaozu Wude's family in the Tang Dynasty. In February of the 14th year of Zhenguan, Taizong sent General Zuo Xiaowei, Li Daomin, King of Huaiyang, and Murong Bao, General of Right Wuwei, to escort Princess Honghua into Tuguhun to marry her king Murong Nuo.

Later, the Tubo army attacked Tuyuhun and destroyed it. Murong Nuo, the king of Tuyuhun, and his wife, Princess Honghua, led thousands of remnants of the tribe and abandoned the country to cling to the Tang Dynasty. Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo led the remnants of thousands of tents to flee after a long distance and came to Liangzhou to settle down temporarily.

The prelude to the Battle of Dafeichuan was precisely because Gaozong could not bear the behavior of Tubo attacking the vassal states and expelling the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he fought a decisive battle with Tubo. However, the Battle of Dafeichuan and the defeat of the Tang army finally dashed Tuyuhun's hope of relying on the power of the Tang Dynasty to restore its power. Since then, Tuyuhun, as a tribe, has no power to restore the country. Murong Nuo, the king of Tuyuhun, and Princess Honghua have been living in Liangzhou City. When Wu Zetian was in the sky, he changed the title of Princess Honghua to the eldest princess of Xiping.

Listening to the words of the "vulture", Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved, these dead Tuyuhun people were all between fifty and sixty years old. The Battle of Dafeichuan was only thirty years ago, and these Tuyuhun people were about twenty or thirty years old back then, could it be that they all participated in the Battle of Dafeichuan back then?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian instructed Guo Qin: "Guo Tingshi, check if these Tuyuhun people have participated in the Battle of Dafeichuan back then!" ”

Guo Qin's face was blank, he nodded at Lu Xiaoxian, turned around and left in a hurry.

Not long after Guo Qin left, Zhang Meng came to find Lu Xiaoxian.

"What? Went to Baiyun Temple twice? Lu Xiaoxian asked, "What are they doing at Baiyun Temple?" ”

Zhang Meng shook his head: "There is an old Taoist priest at the gate of Baiyun Temple who is setting up a stall there to tell fortunes, and they seem to be looking for that Taoist priest to tell fortunes. I didn't dare to get too close, two days in a row! ”

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Ouyang Jian and Tang Qian are good at calculating their lives, even if this is the case, who would find the same person to tell their fortunes for two days in a row?

Lu Xiaoxian asked again: "Is Baiyun Temple in Taozhou City?" ：

"That's right, just north of the city, although Baiyun Temple is not big, it is still very famous in Taozhou!"

"Is that old fortune teller still there?" Lu Xiaoxian asked again.

"It's still there!"

Lu Xiaoxian thought about it for a while, and a plan was formed in his mind. He informed Guo Qin, and hurried out with Zhang Meng and Leng Qing.

A casual green cloth gown, casually tied up long hair, the sun shines warmly on Lu Xiaoxian's eyebrows, and his lazy demeanor is refreshing.

They went straight to the Changting Inn, and when they arrived at the inn and asked about the guest room where Ouyang Jian lived, Lu Xiaoxian stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Opening the door, Ouyang Jian and Tang Qian were stunned when they saw that it was Lu Xiaoxian.

Tang Qian had a smile on her face and asked in surprise, "Master Lu, why are you here, aren't you here to inform us to go to Fu Qi City?" ”

"Oh! No! You'll have to wait a few days to get to Fuqi City! Lu Xiaoxian smiled at Tang Qian and said, "The three of us are walking on the street with nothing to do, and we happen to be passing by here, so we will come in and see you by the way!" ”

"Come, come, come! Come in quickly, I'll make you a pot of tea!" Ouyang Jian warmly invited Lu Xiaoxian and the three of them.

"No need!" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand, still standing in place, "Let's just come and see, you guys are busy, let's go!" ”

Tang Qian turned her head to Ouyang Jian and said, "Why don't we also accompany Lu Gongzi out for a walk?" The old nest is almost moldy in the house! ”

Lu Xiaoxian was waiting for this sentence, he looked at Ouyang Jian: "I don't know what Wang Langjun wants?" ”

Ouyang Jian readily agreed, and several people left the inn together.

Baiyun Temple is a small Taoist temple in Taozhou City, but it is also the only Taoist temple, so people in the city often come here, and it is also a lively place.

Lu Xiaoxian and others seemed to be unintentional, but they were actually intentional, and under the leadership of Zhang Meng, they walked all the way to Baiyun Temple.

The three words "Baiyun Temple" on the gate are full of ancient meaning, I don't know which dynasty and which generation, who is handwriting. The mottled courtyard wall is dotted with petunias, the flowers have been closed, but the vines are entangled and climbing, reflecting the deep green of the white wall.
