Liu Yan looked at the three people in front of him: his close confidant Wu Sicheng, the young man Jingil who was abducted by Wu Sicheng in the First Battle of Youzhou, and a spy sent by Tuqi, Hu Konar.

"Who else knows about this?" Liu Yan asked.

Wu Sicheng hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, except for the two of us, there are only four soldiers guarding the door. ”

Liu Yan said: "Immediately detain these four soldiers, and no one is allowed to contact them!" ”

"Yes. Wechen has already done that. ”

Liu Yan nodded, holding the copper coin handed over by Jin Jill in his hand. The shape of this coin is the same as that of a normal coin, but as soon as you get it in your hand, you can feel the clue that it is much lighter than a normal coin, and you can simply flick the bulge in the square hole with your fingernails to split the coin into two pieces, and you can carry a secret letter in the middle. This gadget is exquisitely made, and what is even more amazing is the silk cloth that is as thin as a cicada's wings inside, which is unfolded to a foot square, and it is densely marked with the military deployment and weapon equipment of the various state capitals in the north of the silk country, and even the information of the main generals.

Liu Yan sneered at the spy Hu Konar, raised the silk cloth in his hand and said, "Do you have anything else to quibble?" ”

Hu Konar snorted: "Since he has been recognized, he will kill if he wants to, is Lao Tzu a greedy person who is afraid of death?" ”

Liu Yan smiled: "What am I going to kill you for?" Killing you doesn't do you any good. I just ask you, if I ask you to identify who gave you this coin, would you be willing? ”

Huknar was stunned for a moment, and rebuked: "How can I betray my companions!" ”

Wu Sicheng immediately shouted: "Then why did you hesitate? He is not one of your Tukti. It's just a prop for you to use. ”

Hu Kenar was robbed of white by Wu Sicheng like this, and he was silent for a while. In Liu Yan, he looks like an upright guy. My heart was discovered, and I couldn't make up a decent lie for a while.

Hukonar thought for a moment, straightened up and said, "You can catch me." Then the person who contacted me would have already fallen under your surveillance, and with or without my testimony you would have arrested him, so why do you have to let me identify this person? ”

Wu Sicheng nodded and smiled: "Although you are not clever, you are quite smart." It is true that your identification is not necessary, but it is not something you need to consider. There are only two options for you to consider, one, you help us make this identification. Then we will return you to Tuqi safely; Second, if you refuse, we will behead you together. It's up to you how you choose. ”

Huknar thought for a moment and said, "I choose to die. ”

Liu Yan and Wu Sicheng exchanged glances, although it was not impossible, but Hu Kenar's answer was somewhat surprising. At this time, Jin Jill said on the side: "You have not completed your mission, and even if you return to Tuqi, you will not be able to escape the punishment of the Great Khan, so you choose to die." If you were asked to stay in Chang'an, what would you choose? ”

Hu Kenar turned his head sideways to look at the person who captured him, and said coldly: "Then of course I choose to live." ”

Liu Yan suddenly realized. Immediately, he ordered someone to take Hu Kenar down to take care of him, and then turned around and smiled at Jinjier: "I have heard of you from Wu Sicheng's mouth. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation and had martial arts. There are also brains. ”

Ginger replied with an unhappy face: "I have captured my own countrymen and betrayed the Great Khan, and a collaborator and traitor has nothing to boast about." ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Since that's the case." Why would you do that? ”

"Wu Sicheng is my friend, he saved my life in the chaos. Brought me here, let me see the world. Besides, this time I wanted to repay him. If I can't do it, I will be entrusted by my friends, and I will be ashamed of myself. ”

"But you can't overcome the guilt that you're treason, aren't you?" Liu Yan asked.

Ginger nodded and did not speak.

"Then you might as well serve me, so that you can get rid of this guilt." Liu Yan said unhurriedly.

"Me?" Ginger was taken aback: "A Turk? ”

Liu Yan sneered and said, "What's wrong with the Tuqi people? You're a warrior, with brains, courage, and a heart of gold, isn't that enough for me to trust you? I heard Wu Sicheng say that you were originally from the Ramandel tribe and fought for the Anbalturi Khan, but didn't Abicheril gladly bring your tribe under his command? Could it be that my heart is inferior to Abicheril? ”

"This one, this one, the two are different from me and my tribe," Ginger stammered for a moment.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, Abicheril will accept your clan because he needs more tribal obedience to strengthen his power, but you are only one person now. So I want you to tell you that I want your allegiance because you are a trustworthy warrior, not because your clan is strong, nor because you are not a member of the enemy country, if you can't even accept the talents of the enemy country, then how can you defeat this country? You say, don't you? ”

"Yes, Ginger is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will never give up!" Kingel got down on one knee, rested his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head deeply. Although he didn't quite understand the difference between the emperor of the Silk Kingdom and the Tuqi Great Khan he had served, he had an urge to serve the Emperor of the Silk Kingdom from the bottom of his heart.

"Very good, then you can be my personal guard, and the official starts from the sixth grade. For the time being, Wu Sicheng is under his control, and he should still have some things to send you to do. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ginger gave a deep salute.

Liu Yan signaled that he could retreat, and Jingil immediately saluted and stepped back. Liu Yan squeezed his eyes towards Wu Sicheng at this time, and said with a smile: "Your vision is really good, this kid has great potential, and he may become a great weapon in the future." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, I don't dare to be ashamed."

Liu Yan stretched his waist and let out a sigh of relief: "Now Han Kemin's line is very clear, the problem is that the dealings between the Queen Mother and him still need conclusive evidence, with these, the Queen Mother's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country can be revealed to the world." ”

Wu Sicheng said with a calm face: "It's a pity that since Qing'er disappeared, our grasp of the whereabouts in the Queen Mother's palace has become blurred, and we have not been able to fully understand their actions so far. ”

Liu Yan frowned when he heard this: "This is indeed a problem. Qing'er is indeed in the palace of the king of Chu, right? ”

Wu Sicheng nodded and said, "Indeed." It's just that why she was trapped in the Chu Palace, but it is unknown, if she was exposed, she would not have a physiology, but she was still alive. If we can get her out, maybe we can use her as a witness. ”

"This is impossible, if the queen mother's crime cannot be convicted, how can the king of Chu be involved? If you don't get involved with the King of Chu, how can you enter his mansion to search for people? Moreover, the King of Chu has been living in a simple house recently, and the affairs of the Queen Mother may not be able to involve the King of Chu. The Chu Palace's mansion is so big, it's not easy to hide a person, even if we want to send someone to rescue it, we can't do it. Liu Yan waved his hand again and again and rejected Wu Sicheng's proposal.

Wu Sicheng thought for a long time, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Weichen is shallow in his intelligence, and he can't find a more effective way to confirm the charge of the Queen Mother's collaboration with the enemy, but now that Hu Kenar has been arrested, this matter will be noticed by Han Kemin and others sooner or later." Why don't you ask the queen for a plan, Your Majesty? ”

Liu Yan looked at Wu Sicheng when she heard this, Queen Hua's body has not fully recovered since she gave birth to the prince Liu Jie, so Liu Yan tried not to bother her with the affairs of the court, but now that things have changed, I am afraid that I have to rely on the wisdom of the queen. Although the queen is very smart, she is a person who loves to worry, once this matter is said, I am afraid that the queen will help her all the way to the end, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart.
