Chapter 159: Secret Investigation

After figuring it out, Qin Xuan frowned directly and asked: "Ashina Brother Tai, I am still a little uneasy, it's not that I don't believe in Ashina Brother Tai, but this matter is too important." ”

Qin Xuan's performance didn't seem to surprise Ashina's expectations at all, I saw Ashina smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded and said: "Qin Gongzi is so cautious, I can understand it, after all, it is a matter of two countries!" In this way, if you need any information in the future, I will ask Qin Gongzi, and Qin Gongzi thinks about it himself, if Qin Gongzi feels that he is threatening the Tang Dynasty, is it better to say it? ”

Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "If that's the case, then I can help Ashina Brother Tai one or two!" ”

"Haha......" Ashina laughed loudly, and then said with a smile: "Gongzi Qin is really my Ashina's good friend!" Then I'll also tell Gongzi Qin about me! After a slight pause, Ashina continued: "My Ashina tribe was sent here by the Turkic Khan, called Xingshang, and secretly as an outpost. It was originally smooth sailing, but unexpectedly, Ma Xiong knew that Ma Xiong's hateful guy not only resisted my actions everywhere, but also coerced some Datang businessmen who were ready to cooperate with me from time to time! ”

"Originally, I planned to coexist peacefully with it, but recently I heard that there were some movements of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, as if it was a large camp of the Jiaohe River March, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses were moved so frequently, the Khan was worried about this matter, and he didn't know what the Tang Dynasty wanted, so he asked me to investigate carefully, but that Ma Xiong was destroyed everywhere. Up to now, I don't know anything about the march of the Tang Dynasty, and I am really afraid that when I suddenly move, I will find that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are threatening the Turks! ”

Qin Xuan listened to Ashina's words while calculating in his heart, and it took a long time before he asked: "Ashina brother, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, how much strength do you have in Limo?" ”

"Huh?" Ashina frowned slightly, "Young Master Qin." What do you mean by that? ”

"Ashina brother, don't get me wrong, the reason why I asked about this is really worried about my own life, now Limo horse thief is quite powerful, if you can't know the strength of Ma Xiong and Ashina brother Tai in Xia, how can you avoid mistakes, if Ashina brother Tai's strength can't resist Ma Xiong and others, then isn't it a joke with your life?"

Yang Ming on the side reminded with feeling: "Master, Qin Gongzi's move is understandable. After all, this matter is about Qin Gongzi, and it is the life and future of the Qin family behind Qin Gongzi. In my opinion, it is better to be open and honest with Gongzi Qin, presumably the strength behind Gongzi Qin will definitely be able to be wary! ”

Ashina frowned, motionless, without saying a word, like a statue, pestle in place.

After a long time, Ashina spoke: "Okay." Limo City, I can tell Gongzi Qin about my Ashina's strength, but I hope that Gongzi Qin will not reveal this matter. ”

"That's nature!" Qin Xuan blurted out.

"Qin Gongzi, Limo City. There are four shops in the southeast, south, and northwest that are owned by my Ashina tribe, and each shop has a wolf's head mark, Qin Gongzi can go to see it later, presumably Qin Gongzi will definitely know about my Ashina's strength in Limo City! ”

Ashina spoke. There was a slight hint of pride.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xuan directly said without giving face: "Ashina Brother Tai, four shops." At most, there are dozens of people, so they can resist Ma Xiong and the like? ”

Ashina's smug expression flashed away, and he snorted coldly: "Master Qin, don't underestimate me Ashina, aren't the hundreds of people in my tribe iron-clad men?" Besides, I'll be honest with you. On the north side of my tribe, I still have an ambush with more than 700 of my Turkic men, and if it weren't for the Khan's forbiddenness to expose me, I would definitely eradicate the likes of Ma Xiong! ”

Qin Xuan's eyes rolled, and he secretly said in his heart: "There are dozens of people in the city, hundreds of tribes, and more than 700 ambush soldiers, it seems that this is Ashina's strength!" ”

Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't speak, Ashina thought that his strength had frightened Qin Xuan, and immediately said, "How about it, Gongzi Qin, my strength will ensure that you have no problems?" ”

Qin Xuan, who came back to his senses, said with a smile: "Ashina Brother Tai, don't be surprised, you more than a thousand Turkic men can indeed save the lives of the subordinates!" I hope that Ashina Brother Tai can introduce Ma Xiong's strength to the next! ”

"This ......" Ashina hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "That Ma Xiong, to be honest, I really don't know, Ma Xiong is haunted, and no one has seen his true face until now. But that Ma San just now, you should know, that person is nicknamed 'Pegasus', presumably Qin Gongzi already knows that this person is brave and brave, and he is not weaker than the Turkic man. In addition, Ma Xiong is in the west of the city, no one knows where it is, there should be a base, otherwise he Ma Xiong would not have asked for so much money and things! ”

"As for Limo City, according to my inference, Ma Xiong should have a secret whistle, otherwise where did his Ma Xiong's information come from? After calculation, in addition to the more than 100 horse thieves who came out to plunder every time, Ma Xiong should still have the strength of three or five hundred people! ”

"That's it!" After hearing this, Qin Xuan was very happy in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to get so many rewards. Then Qin Xuan chatted with Ashina for a few more words, and then returned to Limo City.

The inn, still the same room, still the tattered table.

Qin Xuan and Ashina sat opposite the table, and there were naturally some drinks on the table. Yang Ming stood behind Ashina, and Xing Honglin stood behind Qin Xuan. Li Qingrui and Li Zizheng went out, saying that they were going to purchase some items, but in fact, Qin Xuan naturally knew that these two should be going to investigate the four stores that Ashina said.

Ashina must have known about Li Qingrui and Li Zizheng going out, but Ashina didn't say anything to ask, thinking that he hoped that Qin Xuan would see his strength and be able to provide him with more news when the time came.

Qin Xuan and Ashina pushed the cup to change the lamp, no, it should be to push the pottery to change the bowl, and they were happy. After knowing that Li Qingrui and Li Zizheng had returned, Ashina got up and said, "Gongzi Qin, it's getting late at the moment, and I'm going to leave, but I still hope that Gongzi Qin can stay for a few more days, and then leave after I arrange some things!" ”

"This ...... Okay, be careful on the road to Ashina, it's getting late, the wind is cold, and you won't stay much in the next place! Qin Xuan didn't keep it, but he also showed a little concern, after all, at this moment, Qin Xuan couldn't get into trouble with Ashina, and he didn't have the strength to uproot Ashina, not to mention, Qin Xuan didn't know how to deal with the matter of the horse thief.

After Ashina left, Qin Xuan's room was sealed off by ten guards.

In the house, Qin Xuan, Xing Honglin, Li Qingrui, and Li Zizheng sat around the table. Qin Xuan asked, "Qingrui, Zizheng, did you two just go to investigate the four shops that Ashina said?" ”

Li Qingrui smiled and said, "Haha, yes, son, originally my brothers said to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to know!" ”、

"Tell me quickly, how about the four stores?" Qin Xuan said angrily.

"There are five people in the store in the east of the city, except for one woman, there are four people! There are seven people in the shop in the north of the city, all of whom are iron-clad men, and as far as I can see, Shi Lidu is the same as a guard. Li Qingrui put away the casual joke and said solemnly.

After Li Qingrui finished speaking, Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Count it down, but there are only more than ten people, so there is no need to worry!" ”

"No, Childe, it's better to be careful, after all, if I go to investigate, I may not be able to investigate all the personnel clearly, maybe there are still a few people in the dark and did not show up!" Li Qingrui blurted out,

"Well, too, it's better to be cautious!" Qin Xuan nodded, then turned his head to look at Li Zizheng, and asked, "Zizheng, the south and west of the city should be investigated by you, you can talk about it!" ”

"Yes, Childe, the strength of the store in the south of the city, I hope Childe forgive me, I didn't find it, but I saw three people in the store, I think it should be more than that, after all, the store in the south of the city is a big store, and I can't get in the back hall, and I don't know the situation in the back hall!" Li Zizheng looked a little embarrassed, after all, he really didn't investigate the situation in the south of the city.

"It's okay, self-conscription, if you can easily find out, then I have to think about whether it is true. Let's talk about the situation in the west of the city! Qin Xuan can also understand Li Zizheng's distress, after all, it is not a simple task to go to investigate the strength, and Li Zizheng's temper is so stubborn, I think it should not be as clear as Li Qingrui's investigation, which is understandable.

Moreover, Qin Xuan also had an idea, that is, Li Qingrui could speak, and he also did not investigate clearly, but Li Qingrui then reminded that there should be someone in secret, so that if other superiors heard Li Qingrui's words, they would only think that Li Qingrui was cautious.

If the same situation is reported to Li Zizheng, I am afraid that he will still say that he failed to investigate clearly, and Qin Xuan has no choice but to question and scold Li Zizheng angrily.

Li Zizheng wanted Qin Xuan to cast a grateful gaze, so he spoke: "The store in the west of the city is not big, there should be three people in the back hall, this is what I heard from the voice, there are also three people in the store, and there should only be these six people who want to come to the store in the west of the city!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded and smiled: "Hehe, yes, self-conscription, I didn't expect that you could still hear the difference in your voice." ”

Li Zizheng laughed dryly and explained: "Childe, it's funny, just because the three people in the back hall have unique voices, a woman, a child, and a big man, I don't know if it's a family!" ”

"That's it!" Qin Xuan was really a little helpless, he carried Li Zizheng like this, but he didn't expect Li Zizheng to be so sincere and directly said this. After a few wry laughs, Qin Xuan said: "Self-recruitment, you, thanks to you being on an errand under me, if you change your superior, I am afraid that you will not be promoted for the rest of your life!"
