The prominent cheekbones, the sun-soaked black face, and the bronze and gold ornaments on the belt all indicate the identity of those assassins.

Thule people.

It is normal for the Thule people to assassinate themselves, they know the purpose of my trip to Beijing this time, and I also killed two Thule Grand Attachés one after another, which led to the direct defeat of Thule's southward strategy, and it is understandable that they want to kill me.

But if they want to kill Zhou Shilang, it's a little unbelievable.

Su Lu glanced at Zhou Shilang, although Zhou Shilang was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of War, but he had always been the main peace faction in the northern border of the imperial court, and he was a moderate to the Tule people, and he couldn't say anything about the Tule people killing him.

"Su Dudu, He Chongxin's group, I won't let you do it, okay?"

Zhou Shilang's words pulled Su Lu back from his contemplation, after the battle just now, Zhou Shilang felt that he must have underestimated the strength of He Chongxin's forbidden army, although Su Lu's command was very powerful, but it also required He Chongxin's people to have two brushes.

It is really not cost-effective to give such a powerful group of people to the army.

Su Lu glanced at He Chongxin when he heard this, and when he saw him lowering his head, he suddenly understood in his heart that Zhou Shilang must have promised He Chongxin benefits, and this kid still wanted to stay in the military department, no, he stayed next to the benefits.

"Okay, the person is yours, Lord Zhou, you have the final say."

Su Lu said indifferently, he originally asked casually, He Chongxin has some potential, but it is only potential, without experience, in the end, it is just doing nothing.

When the group arrived at the military headquarters, Zhou Shilang handed over Su Lu to Yan Tong, and went directly to Li Shangshu.

There is such a big thing today, Zhou Shilang thinks that the patrol battalion is targeting himself and the military department, and the military department must come up with a response strategy, otherwise it will be suppressed by the emperor's eldest son everywhere, and how to stick to his strategy in the court in the future.

Yan Tong led Su Lu to the archive room of the military department.

"These rooms are used to store daily official documents, in the hundred years of the dynasty, there are more and more official documents, and Lord Li has already made a decision, and specially entered the courtyard to store official documents."

"These rooms are used to store the lists of captains and soldiers of the various guards."

"This is a geographical map of mountains and rivers, and there are two copies of the map of mountains and rivers that you snatched from the Tule people."

"These are the records of the imperial court's border troubles over the years."

Yan Tong wholeheartedly introduced Su Lu to the archives of the military department, and he was very curious, General Su Lu was invincible, who did he learn from, and whether his roster of teachers would also be in these files.

Su Lu pointed to the room where the records of the war over the years were kept, and asked Yan Tong.

"Lord Yan, are the records of this year's war in Xuanfu and Bingzhou and Weifu here?"

Yan Tong looked at the little official beside him, the little official was quite old, and when he heard this, he nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, all the war documents sent to the military department from all parts of the Xuanfu are archived here, and the documents of the Weifu from all over the state are in the room next to them. ”

Su Lu said to Yan Tong: "Lord Yan is busy with himself, I will leave when I find the case file I want to see." ”

Yan Tong instructed the little officials to take care of Su Lu carefully, and try to meet the requirements as much as possible, and then went to get busy, as the head of the military department, Yan Tong did not touch the ground every day, and he could come to lead Su Lu in order to see it all on Zhou Shilang's orders.

Yan Tong left, and Su Lu asked the little official in charge: "Is there any information about Tule, which is only in Xuanfu, and is related to Dongtang Daying and Xuanfu Jiedu Mansion?" ”

The little official frowned, rummaged for a while in the middle of the case files that were almost piled up to the roof, took out a few case files, put them on the table, and said:

"My lord, it's all here, and the rest is in your office, and it hasn't been filed yet."

Su Lu nodded and took out a case file.

On the second day of the first month of the seventh year of Tianzheng, Xu Song, the hunter of Xiaowangzhuang, reported that he found the whereabouts of the Tule people in Siming Mountain......

Su Lu looked at the cover, it was the Weifu chronicle of Xuanfu Weizhou, but it was only recorded in Layue last year, and there were no case files for most of this year.

The treasurer rummaged through the case file a few more times, and found the case files of Yanzhou and Beiyang and gave them to Su Lu.

The more Su Lu looked at it, the more frightened he became, Tule's infiltration of Xuanfu was almost to the point of pervasiveness, and all the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu had a record of encountering Tule's army almost every month, and villages were taken captive every month.

Putting down the case file, Su Lu let out a sigh of relief, and the affairs of the Xuanfu were so eroded.

Changning saw Su Lu put down the case file, got up happily, he could finally go back, he hated reading the most, he had a headache when he saw the book, and he really didn't understand what was so good about these case-solving files.

Su Lu took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and handed it to the treasurer: "Big brother take it to drink some tea, look at the records in this case file, and think that our northern border has been captured by the Tule people, and there are Tule people everywhere." ”

The treasurer excused himself a few times, took the silver, and said with a smile: "Xuanfu Jiedu Mansion is erosive, this matter is clear to all the masters in the capital, millions of silver are invested in Xuanfu every year, and the Tule people are fighting to the death, and they are defeated every year, and it is a miracle that Xuanfu Jiedu Mansion can persist until now." ”

Su Lu's face was stunned, how could he feel wrong the more he listened, the Xuanfu was still the Xuanfu of the Han State, listening to the meaning of the treasurer, how could the Xuanfu seem to be about to fall.

Out of the military department, Su Lu walked on the street and casually asked Changning: "How could your princess be assigned to Beiyang as a county lieutenant?" ”

Changning's face was reasonable: "The county lieutenant is just a fictitious position, and there is no county lieutenant in all prefectures and counties in the imperial court, and the county lieutenant is just a fictitious position for the prince and princess to be assigned to various places." The prince guards the country, and the second princess is sealed to Jiangzhou, so my princess can only go to the north. ”

Su Lu was even more surprised, the county lieutenant was just a fictitious officer, and now there is a saying that the prince guards the country, no wonder Li Dingyuan is the emperor, for the sake of a picture album, he dared to go to the Xuanfu in person, and the old Li was also a figure who guarded the country back then.

"Get out of the way"

"Smack"

The sound of whips and shouting sounded in front of him.

Su Lu looked up in amazement, and saw that Changning had already rushed out, as athletic as a cheetah, and pounced on a bearded knight wielding a whip.

"Dare to stand in the way of my family, find ......"

Before the big man finished speaking, the whip in his hand was thrown out, and he hit the crying little girl in the middle of the road.

Changning's shot was like lightning, and the probe grabbed the whip and protected the little girl holding her head.

"Hurry up and take people away, don't get in the way of my family."

The bearded man is also a master who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and he was whipped by Changning, and he didn't take it over twice, so he softened with a black face.

Changning let go of the whip, bent down to pick up the little girl, and was about to get up, when the crowd watching the excitement on the side of the road sounded the sound of scolding, mixed with exclamations.

"Smack"

A pain in the back.

Changning hugged the little girl, retreated a few steps, put down the little girl, and glared angrily at the bearded man waving the whip, this person was so shameless, he was soft on the front, and he actually attacked on the back.

"Huh"

Changning had already drawn the saber at his waist.

The bearded man looked proud, lifted the hem of his clothes, and was triumphant: "See, Lao Tzu is an envoy of the Tang Kingdom, you can move me to try, boy." ”
