Chapter 297: Exposed
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace,
There was no doubt that Tang Xuanzong had received another piece of information that made him extremely disturbed.
Lu Zhenla's 100,000 elites were defeated by the Dali army, not only suffered heavy losses, but also forced to ransom people with heavy money in order to make peace. In other words, Lu Zhenla no longer has any threat to Dali. The point is that Dali's losses are not heavy, and they don't hurt their muscles and bones at all, so the profits of the fishermen expected by Tang Xuanzong no longer exist.
Gao Lishi came in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Pei Min has something to see." ”
Tang Xuanzong threw the fold aside and said, "Let him in." ”
Pei Min may not be known by many people, but he has two other identities in the history books, which should be more impressive. He is Li Bai's master, and Li Bai's swordsmanship was learned from him. And another identity, he is the sword saint of the Tang Dynasty, and his swordsmanship is unique in the world. And another unknown identity, he is also a veteran of Lijingmen, and Yunfei's swordsmanship is what he taught.
Pei Min came to the hall, knelt down on one knee and said, "The minister has something to report." As he spoke, he took out a book of music from his bosom and handed it to Gao Lishi, who presented it to Tang Xuanzong.
Tang Xuanzong opened the fold and looked at it, his face was very surprised, and he stood up and said, "Are these true?" ”
Pei Min said: "The minister found the traitor in Lijingmen, but he was not able to capture him alive, this person was very vigilant, and committed suicide by taking poison one step in advance, but the minister still analyzed some conclusions based on these intelligence. Li Shan must have been connected to the Wu family, and the minister concluded that the people of the Wu family were hiding in Dali now, and Li Shan must also be in Dali. This explains why we have investigated Li Shan many times before but have never found anything, only the martial artists have this ability. ”
This discovery is very important, and for a long time, no one except Qing'er and Li Shan himself knew about Li Shan's true connection with the martial arts. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Shan was the hero who sabotaged the Wu family's plan to assassinate Tang Xuanzong. So of course, Li Shan should be the object of hatred and attack by the Wu family. But who would have thought that the Wu family had been secretly protecting Li Shan?
Tang Xuanzong nodded and said, "This is a good statement, you go on, talk more detailed." ”
Pei Min said: "This traitor is the one who fled back after the Lijing Gate was hit hard before, and it is because of this that the minister can determine that the people of the martial arts family must be in Dali." They deliberately said this in order to divert their attention, and the minister went to investigate on the way south from the capital, and there was a trace of Lijingmen going south, which disappeared when he was in Wanzhou, that is to say, the Lijing doorman should be killed in Wanzhou instead of Yanzhou. Similarly, Li Shan must have gone south, so the last place he might go to was Dali. In addition, the minister also studied several recent battles in Dali. First, the Dali soldiers took Annan without blood, and then defeated Lu Zhenla with fewer victories. The minister read the report, compared with the battle of Liangzhou, the minister felt that Li Shan was the generalissimo of Dali, and these battles were fought by Li Shan. ”
Tang Xuanzong naturally felt strange, when did Dali come out with such a person who could fight. Now it has always been Li Shan, who has always made it difficult for Tang Xuanzong to deal with. is talented but undisciplined, which makes Tang Xuanzong not really reuse him, but he didn't expect him to come out of his shell and become the general of Dali Kingdom, and also captured Annan Kingdom, so how could Tang Xuanzong grit his teeth without hatred.
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Xuanzong felt like a fish in his throat, extremely uncomfortable.
Pei Min looked at Tang Xuanzong's appearance, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a speculation, I don't know whether to talk about it or not, please forgive the emperor for being rude." ”
Tang Xuanzong had absolute trust in Pei Min, and said, "Although you speak out, I will not cure your crimes." ”
Pei Min said: "The minister thinks that Wu Jieyu is very likely to be alive." ”
"What?" Tang Xuanzong's eyes widened, and it was hard to believe Pei Min's words, but he very much hoped that what Pei Min said was true.
Pei Min said: "The minister went to inspect Wu Jieyu's bones, because the bones were seriously incinerated, so I couldn't see who was burned to death." However, the minister found that there were no bones similar to those of a one-year-old child among the bones found, that is to say, there were no bones of the little prince, but there were bones similar to those of a four- or five-year-old child. This shows that these bones should not be Wu Jieyu's, someone must have tried to hide people's eyes and ears, but in fact, Wu Jieyu was stolen by someone. Some chisel marks were found on the palace wall of the Taiji Palace, the traces were very new, no more than a year, and the minister thought that it was done by the person who stole Wu Jieyu. ”
This news is undoubtedly too surprising for Tang Xuanzong, Wu Jieyu is not dead, and it can be concluded that she is not dead now. It must have been robbed by someone, and such a painstaking robber would definitely not let Wu Jieyu die.
"Pei Min, then who do you think robbed Wu Jieyu?"
Pei Min said: "This minister has no conclusive evidence and can't know, but the minister dares to guess, Wu Jieyu, her surname is Wu." ”
Tang Xuanzong's eyes were cold, could it really be that someone from the martial arts family stole Wu Jieyu? Why exactly? Tang Xuanzong couldn't figure out why the martial arts family would take the risk to do such a thing.
Pei Min didn't make it clear, and he still had a guess that he didn't say it explicitly, that is, Wu Jieyu seemed to be related to Li Shan. But he didn't dare to say that this conclusion could not be made until there was conclusive evidence.
In any case, Tang Xuanzong has no energy to take care of Dali's affairs for the time being. After pacifying Annan and defeating Lu Zhenla, Dali will usher in a period of stability, and the Tang Dynasty will not make a big move against Dali. Because the Tibetans had already sent troops to Liangzhou again, and this time there was gunpowder in their weapons.
As for Pei Min, he won't go to Dali either. Although he is strong in martial arts and thoughtful, he is now the master of Lijingmen after all, and he can't leave the capital easily. And Dali, if there is a martial artist, rushing forward will only lose the army. He has now taken over the espionage program, and has found that there are indeed a few good seedlings in it, which are worth cultivating. Especially one of them, she is full of spirituality, and in time, she can be allowed to go to Dali to investigate.
In Dali, Li Shan ushered in a short period of leisure. This time the battle went more smoothly than expected, and it didn't drag on for months. Therefore, Li Shan has the opportunity to return to Taihe City to celebrate the New Year with his family. And two friends came during this time. Zhang Yanzhao and Zhuo Cheng, they purchased all the ships and goods in Quanzhou, and arrived at the port of Thanh Hoa along the coast. Just wait for Li Shan's order, and you can sail away.
They themselves don't realize now that what they are about to do will change the whole world in the near future. An era has quietly begun. (To be continued.) )
