Chapter 421: The Right Choice
"Honey, sugar water." Zhang Chuchen took out a jar.
Dou Jiande subconsciously glanced at the jar in Zhang Chuchen's hand, feeling nervous for no reason.
Li De sprinkled a little directly on the carriage when he got the jar, and when he opened it with a cloth bag, it was ants, and under Dou Jiande's gaze, the honey sugar water on the wooden board was eaten by the ants almost instantly.
"It seems that they are hungry and not full." Li De looked at the ants and muttered.
"Dudu, you asked me to feed the ants with honey syrup?" Zhang Chuchen said curiously.
"No, you can't feed them with this honey alone, what do you think will happen if I brush this honey on people?" Li De asked with a puzzled look.
Zhang Chuchen was very cooperative and shocked: "Ants will not only eat honey, but also connect that person...... It's terrifying, I can't go on, do you want to deal with him? ”
"Remember how you brush honey when you grill meat?"
Li De handed the jar to Zhang Chuchen again, and the two chatted without any intention of ignoring Dou Jiande.
They ignored Dou Jiande, the ants on the carriage were not idle, and soon a few crawled towards Dou Jiande, and he saw clearly the experiment that Li De had done just now, and he had already imagined the horror of being devoured by ten thousand ants.
Nervously swaying his feet back and forth, trying to avoid the ants crawling towards him.
"Don't come, don't come." Dou Jiande nervously began to scream.
"Let's start applying!" Li De said lightly.
Zhang Chuchen held the jar of honey and used the wooden spoon inside to hold the honey, the bee pulp flowed slowly, Dou Jiande was really afraid, and the feeling of being devoured by ten thousand ants was as if he had already felt it.
"I said, let me tell you, the man in black was not sent by me, it was the Xiao family in Jiangling."
Dou Jiande used all his strength, and after speaking, it was like a deflated ball, full of despair in tension.
Li De and Zhang Chuchen looked at each other with a look, their plan was successful.
"Tell me everything you know." Li De took this opportunity to continue to ask.
After the interrogation of Dou Jiande, Li De and Zhang Chuchen returned to the camp tent to record the matter on paper, and arranged for someone to call Xiao Mei and Chen Xuanhua, two lieutenants, over.
"Dudu, are you looking for us?"
The two men went into the tent.
"Sit down and talk, just now I got some things about the queen of the Chen Dynasty from Dou Jiande, and the assassinated Dou Jiande said that he was sent by the Xiao family in Jiangling, and the target was Liu Wuzhou."
Xiao Mei was curious, when it came to the matter of the queen of the Chen Dynasty, the Xiao family knew that it was very powerful in the Jiangling region, and then thinking about the matter of the jade seal, there seemed to be some connection between them.
"Dudu, why did the Xiao family send someone to assassinate Liu Wuzhou?" Xiao Mei asked.
"This is also what I think is strange, Dou Jiande only knows that the people are sent by the Xiao family, and he doesn't know their goals, even the matter of the queen of the Chen Dynasty is an unexpected gain, I want to spread that many people are fighting the idea of the treasure of the Chen Dynasty, and even Dou Jiande went to Jiangling this time with the intention of snooping." Li De said.
Dou Jiande really didn't know that the real target of the man in black was not Li De, and he really didn't know what happened to Liu Wuzhou and the Xiao family.
"Mei'er, when it comes to the queen of the Chen Dynasty, you two must be careful." Li De reminded.
Xiao Mei has become a little accustomed to Li De's affectionate name, but it still sounds very embarrassing, Shengzi She wears a mask, otherwise her red face with a beautiful face will definitely fall for everyone.
The Xiao family rushed to assassinate Liu Wuzhou blatantly, and there was nothing that could be done, the key was that the enemy was in the dark, and they couldn't prevent it.
"Governor, are we going to Gangneung?" Xiao Mei said.
"What are you going to do?" Li Dedao.
"Ahem, the governor is knowingly asking." Xiao Mei said.
In fact, Li De had already had this plan, otherwise he would not have wanted express transportation to open up the trade between Chang'an and Jiangling, and there would be a security building to be responsible for protection along the way.
It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly, and he has become the vanguard governor and has no time to do the planned things.
If Chen Chaoyuxi's matter had not been assassinated by the man in black, he would have almost forgotten about it.
"The question now is, someone is involved in the treasure matter, is the Xiao family, Dou Jiande, and Liu Wuzhou behind it, what role does Liu Wuzhou play in it, and whether there are other people involved, we can't be sure now, so we can't go to Jiangling for the time being."
Li De's explanation is not an excuse, the vanguard is the one he said can be mobilized, but there are prerequisites for the mobilization of soldiers and horses, and it will not affect the recruitment of soldiers and horses, and it will not affect the task after three years.
In fact, let alone three years, he can't even wait for a year, you must know that there is still a pregnant woman living in Longqingfang, if he really leaves for three years, he really doesn't know what will happen when he goes back.
"Out of the dust, Mei'er, although we have no plans to go to Jiangling in the vanguards, Red Peony can go to investigate the situation first, if we can find the tomb first and get back the jade seal, we will be able to take the initiative in the matter." Li Dedao.
Xiao Mei knew that what Li De said was right.
"With the current strength of the red peony is weak, so send a hundred tiger ben to protect you thoroughly, remember to think twice The task is not necessarily completed, none of you can be less, you must come back completely." Li De continued to instruct.
"Boss, Luo Luo is also willing to carry out the mission." Lolo said.
"Who will bring me tea and water, and your female guards will stay, there are many things that can't all be sent out, your task is to establish a spy network, so as not to appear again Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou who have ambitions to do wrong things."
The two heroes are now in his hands, and how to deal with them is to be handed over to the imperial court, and their fate is not easy to judge now, and it is up to Your Majesty whether they will die or not.
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, Liu Wuzhou's tone was very strict, and the psychological warfare used on Dou Jiande didn't work for him, and he could see that he really planned to treat death as home.
For this kind of person, he can only bring Dou Jiande's news to the other party for a showdown.
"Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande has explained the matter clearly, we already know about you and the Xiao family, now if you want to live or not, it depends on your performance, you know what we want, and then give you one last chance, whether to say it or not is up to you."
Li Dezhen went to have a showdown with Liu Wuzhou with the news, the two talked in the closed carriage, and the tiger guards surrounded him, and the protection of Liu Wuzhou was the protection of the news.
"Dou Jiande is a guy who has no seeds, he is timid and cowardly." Liu Wuzhou scolded.
Li De looked at Liu Wuzhou, who also couldn't get out, the two of them were not the same dog, who said that everyone was a crow and scolded the pig black, and he didn't look at his own color.
"If you want to live, tell the news, you must know that there is a turning point for you to be a horse bandit, the situation outside Youzhou is complicated, it is up to you whether you choose whether you are an enemy or a friend, I believe that smart people will make the right choice." Li Dedao.
