Chapter 609: It's Too Late

"What about people, have you found it?" On the northern grassland, Jieli yelled angrily at the general in front of him with an annoyed face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Khan forgiveness, we have searched for dozens of miles, but we have not found any trace of Ye Hu's wife!" In the face of Jieli's anger, the general in front of him who was in charge of finding someone also trembled with fright, but finally replied stubbornly.

"What about the people sent to Dingxiang City, did they bring back Zhao Deyan's reply?" Jieli roared again with red eyes at this time.

"This ...... The subordinates have sent out three groups of people, but each time there is no return, and now we don't know what happened to Dingxiang. The general hesitated for a moment and replied again.

"Rubbish! Get out! Jieli roared again when he heard this, but the general in front of him was like a pardon, and walked backwards and quickly left the big tent, but he knew that Jieli was moody during this time, and many people had been executed for making mistakes, and he didn't want to be the next one, but as soon as he came out of the tent, he heard the sound of falling things inside, which made him even more frightened, and immediately fled from here, and even the surrounding guards showed frightened looks.

Jieli threw a lot of things in the big tent, and many of the best porcelain he had snatched from the Central Plains were broken to pieces by him, and finally until he had no strength left, he sat on the felt and gasped for breath.

Before Zhao Deyan's wife suddenly disappeared on the way to the north, at the beginning, Jieli even thought that someone was secretly taking revenge on Zhao Deyan, after all, during this time, Zhao Deyan helped him reform his internal affairs and offended many people, especially some Turkic nobles, so he immediately asked people to investigate this matter, hoping to find Zhao Deyan's wife.

However, what Jie Li never expected was that with the investigation and discovery, all kinds of evidence showed that Zhao Deyan's wife ran away by herself and was not coerced in any way, until this time, Jie Li felt that something was wrong, but he still didn't want to believe that Zhao Deyan would betray him, after all, the other party was his most trusted minister.

It is precisely because of this that Jieli sent people to find the whereabouts of Zhao Deyan's wife, and at the same time sent someone to inform Zhao Deyan, if he is willing to come back, it will naturally prove his loyalty, but he has already sent out three groups of people, but they have all gone and have not returned, at this time, even if Jieli trusts Zhao Deyan again, I am afraid that he will start to doubt.

In fact, now Jieli is not just as simple as doubting, although on the surface he has not admitted Zhao Deyan's rebellion, but in fact he already has a positive answer in his heart, just thinking that his most trusted courtier has also rebelled to the Tang Dynasty, if this matter spreads, I am afraid I don't know how many people will wait to laugh at him, this is what makes him the most uncomfortable, so now he has been blocking the news related to this matter.

However, although this news can be blocked for a while, it is impossible to block it, especially Zhao Deyan was originally going to pick up the ancestors and grandchildren of Empress Xiao, and he should have come back a few days ago, but there has been no news, and even the people he sent to Dingxiang to inquire about the news have all disappeared, which also means that Dingxiang is likely to fall into the hands of Datang.

If Zhao Deyan's wife hadn't disappeared, Jieli might have thought that Zhao Deyan had just encountered the Tang army attacking Dingxiang after entering Dingxiang, so he lost the news, but now Zhao Deyan's wife is gone, which is a bit too much of a coincidence, and Zhao Deyan took the initiative to ask to go to Dingxiang before, which also shows that he must have been prepared before.

Thinking of the above, Jieli couldn't help but secretly hate why he was too careless, and even believed that Zhao Deyan, a Han man, if the other party really took refuge in Datang, then the internal layout of the Turks would not have any secrets from Datang, he was already at a disadvantage, and now he can only make his situation worse.

"Qiyu Khan, the last general just received the news and found the traces of Zhao Yehu's wife!" But just when Jieli was pondering, he suddenly saw the general who had just left come in again, and then said with a worried face, he didn't expect that not long after he left the big tent, he received a report from his subordinates, thinking that Jieli was angry, he didn't want to come in to report, but he was worried that Jieli would really cut off his head after he knew about it, so he could only come in hard.

"What tracks, did you catch her?" Jieli couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and then stood up and asked, although a woman has little impact on the situation, but he felt that he should be able to ask some things about Zhao Deyan from Yang's mouth, and figure out why Zhao Deyan betrayed him, it is pitiful, he still doesn't know that Zhao Deyan is originally a spy of the Tang Dynasty.

"There is a team of people in the southwest direction found traces of people fighting with wolves, there are blood stains and arrows at the scene, and there are also a few pieces of torn off cloth, through identification, the other party should be Zhao Yehu's wife and his party, they are likely to have encountered wolves on the road, and the people below have chased down the footprints of the wolves!" The general reported again.

The wolves on the grassland are full of disasters, and people who go out alone are easily attacked by wolves, and even some big wolves dare to sneak attack some tribes, and the wolves have a tough character, once they identify a target, they will not give up easily, so since Zhao Deyan's wife and his party have been attacked by wolves, then these wolves must have been following them, so as long as they follow the footprints of the wolves, they should be able to find them.

Hearing the general's report, Jieli couldn't help but be very excited, and immediately ordered the other party to send more people to chase and kill the Yang family, but Zhao Deyan's betrayal also made him more careful, and immediately ordered the army to start retreating north, hoping to catch up with Wang Ting, who had retreated north, as soon as possible, and arrive at Yinshan as soon as possible, so that he could also feel at ease as soon as possible.

Two days later, Jieli, who had been working day and night, finally led a large army to catch up with his royal court, but to his disappointment, the people he had sent to hunt down the Yang family had not been able to find any trace of the other party, which made him also very disappointed.

In addition, Zhao Deyan's delay in returning was also discovered by some well-intentioned people, and as a result, rumors were rife within the Turks, and many people had already guessed that Zhao Deyan was likely to descend to the Tang Dynasty, which also made Jieli's prestige plummet, and there were also many Turkic nobles behind him, saying that Jieli favored the Han and Hu people, but did not believe in the Turks, and now he has finally suffered retribution.

In the face of internal rumors, Jieli was also angry and hateful, but he didn't have time to pay attention to these things now, because he suddenly thought that Zhao Deyan knew his withdrawal route, and if the Tang army intercepted them halfway, it would be bad, which also made Jieli immediately decide to change the route of the withdrawal, but unfortunately Jieli realized this problem too late.
