In the silent corridor, Leon walked silently in the darkness, when suddenly he stopped, stared ahead, and drew his short knife from behind him.

The firelight illuminated the corridor, and Li Ang's pupils constricted, and his vision blurred for a moment.

A man who had lost his breath slowly collapsed in front of Li Ang, his throat bone was crushed, his eyes were wide open, obviously he didn't expect that the person next to him would kill him, and he would die without seeing it.

Looking at Li Ang, who was staring at him coldly, Zhu Ting nodded, "You are much smarter and more decisive than I thought. ”

"You, yes, Zhu, Ting." Looking at the old man dressed in purple with a mighty face, Li Ang said word by word, and his voice was low.

"Looks like you already know a lot of things." Looking at the expression on Li Ang's face, Zhu Ting laughed, turned around and said, "Just pretend that you haven't seen me before!" ”

"I want to know, does General Yu's death have anything to do with this matter?" Li Ang shouted to Zhu Ting, and the light in his eyes was so cold that it made people's hearts chill.

"The news to you is not wrong, I didn't know in advance about the sudden appearance of the Iron Floating Massacre." Zhu Ting turned around and replied quietly, "I didn't expect the death of General Yu Liyan, and you should have recorded this account on the Turks' heads." ”

"What more do you want to know?" Looking at Li Ang, who was still staring at him coldly, Zhu Ting smiled.

"All." Li Ang put the knife into the scabbard, approached Zhu Ting, and said expressionlessly, "I want, know, all." ”

"Young man!" Zhu Ting looked at Li Ang who was approaching, shook his head, and sighed, "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you." ”…

Li Ang listened to Zhu Ting's narration, and many vague things gradually became clear. Daqin, who has not used swords for thirty years, has faintly overwhelmed the military hall in the court. And the Zhenfu Division, which was originally subordinate to the military hall, has gradually fallen to the cabinet since the commander Liu Lian took power, intending to set up his own door.

"Juntang has long wanted to deal with Liu Lian, but he has never been able to catch him." When Zhu Ting said this, he looked at Li Ang, "And after you captured the two Turkic princes, the secret agents of the military hall found out the traitor of the Zhenfu Division who secretly communicated with the Turks, and from that time on, the military hall decided to involve this person with Liu Lian. ”

"That man is him." Li Ang looked at the corpse at Zhu Ting's feet and asked.

"That's right, it's him." Zhu Ting glanced at the corpse on the ground, "He is in Kushui Town, using the identity of a merchant as a cover, secretly doing forbidden business with the Turks, this mansion is his real hiding place, and the other mansion and the so-called Chang'an Great Merchant are the tricks." ”

"Very clever tricks, I was almost hidden." Li Ang said in a deep voice, the most dangerous place is the safest place, many people know this sentence, but there are very few people who can really do that.

"Jinyiwei and Dongchang have always coveted the status of the Zhenfu Division, and this traitor's matter gave them the pretext to suppress the Zhenfu Division, so they sent the leading figures over."

"Although Liu Lian didn't know the calculations of the military hall, he also knew that he must not let this traitor live, so he sent me here to kill people and kill people." Speaking of this, Zhu Ting sneered, "But he didn't expect that I would betray him." ”

"Why did you betray him?" Li Ang looked at Zhu Ting's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from them.

"If I don't betray him, the Zhenfu Division will be defeated, and the 30,000 people up and down the Zhenfu Division will be unlucky." Zhu Ting glanced at Li Ang, shook his head and said, "The forces behind the military hall are not as simple as those civilian officials think. ”

"After I arrived in the North Court, it happened to be the time when you raised your power to the Turks and bought your head." Zhu Ting said again, "After knowing the news, Juntang decided to use you as bait to catch another big fish." ”

"This big fish is the martial god of the Turks, Ashina Yunlie." Zhu Ting glanced at Li Ang, who didn't seem surprised, and continued, "Revealing the whereabouts of you and the Tiger and Par Rider is just to gain his trust, so that that traitor can make a big deal with him and fish him out." ”

"And in the end, this deal will be counted on Liu Lian's head, and the crime of connecting with foreign countries is enough to punish him with death." Zhu Ting sneered, "As for that Turkic Martial God, I don't want to go back alive." ”

"A good calculation to kill two birds with one stone." Li Ang clapped his hands and looked at the corpse at Zhu Ting's feet, "Finally, let me ask you a question, how did you get him to believe you?" ”

"Kill, kill someone in front of him who he thinks I would never dare to kill." Zhu Ting replied coldly and turned around, "In three days, I will talk about trading with the Turkic Martial God in that mansion, and I will give you this credit." ”

"Give it to me." Li Ang frowned and looked at Zhu Ting's back, "You want to kill the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang." ”

"You're smart." Zhu Ting laughed, "They want to pick up a bargain, and it depends on whether I am willing to give it." ”

Watching Zhu Ting stride away into the corridor, Li Ang turned around, he didn't expect that things were really like this, Hou Junji's letter to him did not lie to him.

In the study, the exit of the secret passage opened, and Li Ang saw Peng Cheng, who was injured in the shoulder.

"How's the brothers?"

"The four brothers are a little more seriously injured, and the others are fine." Peng Cheng replied that he didn't ask Li Ang about the secret truth.

"What about the enemy?" Leon looked out of the study.

"Twenty-seven in all, all dead." Peng Cheng shook his head, the stubborn resistance of those black-clothed dead soldiers made him remember deeply.

"Let's go back to the inn." Leon walked out of the study, looked at the corpses on the ground, and shook his head.

Back at the inn, Li Ang went straight back to the room, closed the door, he looked at Huang Quan and said, "Look at her these days, maybe something will happen." ”

"What's the matter?" Huang Quan, who was pretending to be asleep, jumped up from his chair, stared at Li Ang with a pair of eyes, and his voice was a little hurried, "Where have you been, what is going on?" ”

"Someone is looking for trouble with Jinyiwei and Dongchang." Li Ang sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it, "This matter, until the Chinese New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, it will be over, and in these three days, you should not leave her side." ”

"I owe you." Huang Quan glanced at Li Ang and walked out of the room.

"In three days, we'll see the difference!" Li Ang sighed, feeling like he had put down a big stone in his heart, and when he killed the Turkic martial god, he could go back to Chang'an and go home.

…

On the West Street of Kushui Town, in a quiet house, Sang Ruo and Zhi Shi Sili sat next to Ashina Yunlie, looking at his skillful tea-making skills, his eyes were full of doubts.

"When I was young, I secretly went to Daqin and learned a lot." Ashina's face showed a look of remembrance, and his voice became distant, "The culture of the Han people is great, so great that anyone can get lost in those cultures and can't extricate themselves. ”

"We people on the grassland should learn the culture of the Han people, we are too barbaric." Ashina Yunlie sighed lightly, lifted the elegant teapot, filled it for the two young people with angry faces, and said slowly, "You shouldn't be angry, learning is not a shameful thing. ”

"After learning the Han style, are we still Turkic?" Zhi Shi Sili didn't drink tea, but just said angrily.

"Our Turks were originally just a small tribe, and we relied on the favor of God to have today's national fortune." Ashina Yunlie was not annoyed by Shi Sili's actions, and still had a faint expression, "Those tribes that we conquered are just subservient to our sword, as long as there is an opportunity, they will still rebel." ”

"On the grassland, there have been many powerful tribes that have risen, but in the end, they are still annihilated into ashes." Ashina Yunlie stood up and looked to the east, "Culture is the foundation of a country, and we Turks don't have our own culture, so we have to learn from the Han people." ”

"Remember, don't be blinded by prejudice, read more Han books, and use your brain to think about why the Han people are stronger than us, stronger than any other country in the world."

"Drink the tea." Ashina Yunlie retracted his gaze and looked at Zhi Shi Sili.

"My lord, we are here to fight, not to drink tea." Zhi Shi Sili still couldn't help but say.

"The battle must be fought, and the tea must be drunk." Ashina Yunlie shook his head at Zhishi Sili and looked at Sang Ru, who was quietly drinking tea, "The tea ceremony of the Han people can calm your heart, calm your heart, and you won't be impulsive when you think about things." ”

Zhi Shi Sili looked at the small teacup in front of him, which seemed to be so small that he could swallow it in one gulp, and finally picked it up and drank the tea like the two of them.
