Yang Chong lived in Huni City for three days, and every day he took Gu Dizang and Duhu to roam the streets, without the slightest intention of leaving; The poisonous dragon guest accompanied the eldest grandson Xian to discuss business, and did not even return to the post house one night. Shi Daqian couldn't bear it, and went to Yang Chong's room after dinner to ask when he was going to leave; Yang Chong saw that there was no one left and right, and motioned for Shi Daqian to sit down and said: "You came just in time, I have a few things to ask you, what is the origin of Brother Shan Fu, and why did he betray Dugu?" ”

Yang Chong thought about it for a long time before he figured out the joints, Yang Chong and his entourage went to Gaochang for an uncertain future, even if they could return to Chang'an alive, Yang Chong might not be able to complete the mission, Shan Fu did not need to make extraneous branches, and use Zuo Kunlun to set a trap for himself. Therefore, the purpose of setting the trap is Dugu U, and the trip to Kang Guo was planned and arranged by Dugu U in the court, and if something happened to Yang Chong, Dugu U would definitely be implicated.

The problem is that since Dugu Yu hopes that Yang Chong can succeed, the person selected in the first round must be his confidant, even if his loyalty to the imperial court is debatable, but there is definitely no doubt about his loyalty to Dugu Yu. Then there is only one reason, Shan Fu betrayed Dugu for some reason, and the time of betrayal was that after Shan Fu was selected by Yang Chong, Yang Chong had no other channels to understand the situation, only to discuss with Shi Daqian.

Shi Daqian actually heard Duhu Yanshou talk about this, so he asked Shan Fu, and the reason Shan Fu gave was that he didn't react at the time, and when he heard Zuo Kunlun say that he wanted to see Yang Chong, he walked over and said. Since Shan Fu can be dugu usurped and sent out to carry out secret activities, he is definitely not a brainless person, Shi Daqian went to Changsun Xian for verification, but Changsun Xian didn't care at all in the situation of great joy and sorrow at that time, whether Zuo Kunlun had said this.

Hearing Yang Chong's question, Shi Daqian decided not to hide it anymore, and told Yang Chong all the investigations he had done in the past few days, and finally said: "Brother Shan Ying and Danfu joined the Prince Wei rate a month ago, they are from Youwuwei, and they are relatively low-key on weekdays, so I don't know much about it." ”

Yang Chong immediately reacted, it was his own view of Dugu Yu that went wrong, although Dugu Yu fully supported himself, more to complete the mission given to him by the imperial court, in fact, he didn't care about the success or failure of Yang Chong's trip to the country, so the conditions were right first, and loyalty was placed behind. Yang Chong thought for a while and asked, "Who do you think will be behind Shan Fu?" ”

Shi Daqian didn't dare to answer, or even think about the answer, for fear of being involved in the whirlpool of struggle. Yang Chong is now in the officialdom, obviously Yu Wenkai's person, and even has intersections with Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua and father and son, these three people have a common characteristic, they are all supporters of the reform of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and they are also the thorn in the side of the conservative faction of Guanlong. Shi Daqian's uncle Shi Wansui offended the Guanlong military back then, and was killed by Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo, with a slight word; Shi Daqian has never been promoted and reused, and there is no shortage of reasons for this.

Yang Chong had no choice but to change the topic and ask: "Do you know the situation of Eldest Sun Xian, Duhu Yanshou, and Pei Yi in the clan?" ”

Shi Daqian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Duhu Yanshou is the second son of Dugu Tuo, Duhu Tuo used cats, ghosts and witches on his sister Queen Dugu and the wife of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, because of his greed for money, Emperor Wen was furious and was ready to give him death, Queen Dugu went on a hunger strike for three days to intercede, and Emperor Wen of Sui had to exempt him from the death penalty and remove his name from the people. When the Holy Son of Heaven ascended the throne, Duhu Tuo was already dead, and he was posthumously presented as a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, but Duhu Tuo's political capital was inherited by his eldest son Dugu Yanfu, and Duhu Yanshou had nothing, and even wanted to enter the Sixteen Guards to seek a background, but no one helped. As for the eldest grandson Xian and Pei Yi, they have both been walking in the Western Regions for a long time, and their status in the clan can be imagined. ”

Shi Daqian is also a third-rate aristocrat, speaking of these things, the son-in-law of a wealthy nobleman, the one who does not want to show his skills in the officialdom, only those who have no weight in the family will do business to find a way to live for themselves. Yang Chong came from later generations, and what he saw was not only limited to officialdom power, but also that Changsun Xian and Pei Yi would definitely have enough benefits in the family, money, status within the clan, child arrangements, etc., so they would work tirelessly in the Western Regions.

Thinking that the three nobles were all people who might be abandoned by the family, Yang Chong pondered and said, "I don't dare to leave now." Without the protection of Shatuozhai and the border army, we are like lambs that can be slaughtered at any time in the eyes of the Chijin Turks. In addition, I am considering whether to pull the Shan Ying brothers into the group according to the original plan after arriving in Gaochang; If they are excluded, who will take over the position? ”

Shi Daqian said without hesitation: "You don't have a candidate, you are willing to go to Kangguo, but like Dugu Yu, you want to open an opening for some people in the Western Regions, and you haven't even thought about completing this task, what you are thinking about is how to find a scapegoat in the end." Although all the immortals have their own ways in the Western Regions, the most powerful one is the Wei family, and what the Wei family can't accomplish, there is no reason for you to take a second trip. ”

Yang Chong asked in a low voice, "What if the Wei family doesn't want to pick up this person?" Why did the Chijin Turks attack us? It's to kill us, we haven't even seen the shadow of that person, why kill us? It's because I'm afraid that we will find clues, so they can't let us go to Kangguo, and they won't let us go back alive. Let me ask you, who is afraid of revealing the truth, is it you, Du Xingman, or Wei Jie? ”

Shi Daqian was stunned for a moment, if Shi Daqian was a little unhappy about Dugu Yu arranging Yang Chong to be responsible for before this, he was really sober at the moment, and he was not this material. Yang Chong's question is right, judging from what happened in Samalgan City, Dazang is dead, Guiniao's whereabouts are unknown, and the most suspicious ones are the three of them, although Yang Chong is young and looks inexperienced, but his ability is definitely enough; Shi Daqian was speechless, all the circumstances had already been said in the Prince's Mansion in Chang'an City, and he had a clear conscience.

Yang Chong slowed down his tone and said: "Sometimes you don't need to go to Kangguo, you can prove the truth from the side, but we still have to go to Samalgancheng, which is a matter of the face of the Great Sui." In addition, the caravan of Yu Wenxian and Pei Yi came too coincidentally, and I learned from the market that because there are long windmill dealers, there are very few caravans that do this kind of thing in large groups, because it is easy to arouse the interest of a large number of horse thieves. ”

Shi Daqian asked calmly: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Go to the long windmill shop to find Yuanhao." Yang Chong said his plan: "Let him find a way to contact the Chijin Turks, we must negotiate with the Chijin Turks before setting off and reach a consensus, now I only hope that this gang of robbers is a real bandit, just a group of people who are desperate for money." ”
