After Zhao Yunze left the Sifang Pavilion, it was almost noon when he saw the sky. So he went home for lunch.

After lunch, he immediately left the city and went to the martial arts hall.

After Li Jing and Li Daozong set out on the expedition, Li Shimin arranged for Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, and Li Yuanli, the king of Xu Kang, one of Li Shimin's younger brothers, to temporarily replace Li Jing and Li Daozong in the Jiangwutang. In fact, the affairs of the martial arts hall are all taken care of by Ma Zhou.

After Zhao Yunze came to the lecture hall, he told Ma Zhou about organizing the trainees to train in separate columns.

Ma Zhou said that the third batch of students will graduate this year, and their queue action foundation is relatively solid. Last year, when the fourth batch of cadets entered the school, they also held a military parade at the opening ceremony, and the parade was no stranger to them. There are three days to train and familiarize yourself, and you can take a shot.

Zhao Yunze listened to Ma Zhou's words and was finally relieved. The military parade of the second batch of cadets was drilled by Ma Zhou's hand, and he has mature experience in this work. So, Zhao Yunze confidently and boldly handed over the task of training columns to Ma Zhou.

After that, Zhao Yunze went to the Secret Service.

Yu Tianyou, the signature of the Secret Service, received Zhao Yunze very warmly. The two chatted for a while, and Yu Tianyou deeply regretted that he could not participate in the war of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks.

Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "Although Brother Yu was not able to personally participate in the fight, the Secret Service provided strategic intelligence for the army in this big war, didn't it also make a meritorious contribution!" ”

"Hahaha, that's true. So-and-so even got the title of a viscount. Yu Tianyou laughed.

"Congratulations to Big Brother Yu!" Zhao Yunze hurriedly said hello.

"Rejoice and rejoice, Brother Zhao is not an earl yet. I heard that it will soon be promoted to the history of Pingzhou Thorn. The speed of your promotion, brother, I can't reach it! ”

Zhao Yunze waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this." I came to Brother Yu today because I wanted the Secret Service to help. ”

"Brother has something to say, as long as he doesn't violate the principle, he will definitely help." Yu Tianyou said.

Zhao Yunze's face became serious, and he said: "In the morning, I went to the Sifang Pavilion and found that there were quite a lot of suspicions on the envoy of Dongying. I suspect that these envoys are fake. ”

"Huh? There is such a thing! Yu Tianyou was taken aback. Brother Zhao, have you told Your Majesty about this matter? ”

"I just suspect the identity of the envoy of Dongying, and I don't have any evidence yet. Yes, I didn't dare to disturb Your Majesty because of this. Zhao Yunze said, "I came to the Secret Service here to ask Brother Yu to send a few people who are good at investigating cases to infiltrate the Sifang Pavilion and check the details of this group of Dongying people." ”

"The Secret Service has an unshirkable responsibility for this." Yu Tianyou said, "Brother Zhao, the Secret Service was founded by you, and you are very familiar with the situation of the subordinates of the Secret Service. If you want to transfer anyone to the Sifang Pavilion, you can just order it. ”

"Then you're welcome." Zhao Yunze smiled, and then named the names of the three people.

"Just these three? Isn't it a little less? Yu Tianyou said.

Zhao Yunze said: "The investigation is no better than others, there are too many people, and it is easy to startle the snake." All three of them are extremely clever and sufficient. ”

"Okay, I'll call them here."

Yu Tianyou called the people Zhao Yunze wanted, and Zhao Yunze gave them a task and instructed them how to do it.

Subsequently, Zhao Yunze took the three people back to Chang'an. He took them to the Sifang Pavilion and had a secret discussion with Li Xiange.

——Divide-cut-line——

Three days passed. During this period, Zhao Yunze and Ma Zhou, with the officers and soldiers who participated in the military parade, had already lectured on the martial arts students, and under the leadership of the officials of Zongzheng Temple, they went to the Taimiao Temple to rehearse the parade on the spot. Although this military parade was very sloppy, and the movements of the officers and soldiers participating in the parade were not so perfect, it was enough to shock them to deal with the envoys of Fanguo who had never seen a military parade made with Datang's new queue movements.

Tomorrow, it's time for the prisoner sacrifice ceremony. But the people who investigated the case in the Sifang Pavilion never gave Zhao Yunze a letter, and Zhao Yunze was a little anxious.

Zhao Yunze originally wanted to go to the Sifang Pavilion again after lunch. However, before he could finish his lunch, a man he had sent to the Sifang Pavilion came to his house to look for him.

"Zhanhui, but there's a harvest?" Zhao Yunze immediately took the man to the study and asked the man.

The Sifang Pavilion intelligence officer named Zhanhui nodded and said, "After we arrive at the Sifang Pavilion, according to the instructions of the adults, we will take turns to monitor the Dongying envoy group. We found that the people of these Dongying envoys seemed to be divided into two groups, and there seemed to be some estrangement between them. ”

Zhao Yunze said: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it doesn't seem strange that two small groups of discord arise in a big team." ”

Zhanhui said: "Originally, we didn't take this matter to heart. But just last night, I heard a small group of the Dongying envoys conspiring all night. I couldn't hear what they were saying, so I sneaked up on the roof and eavesdropped. I actually heard that they were speaking Chinese. ”

"What? Chinese! Are you sure? Zhao Yunze was taken aback.

Zhanhui said: "Although I didn't hear what they said specifically, I could hear some words and sentences, which were definitely Chinese." ”

"Think about it, what are the words and phrases you hear?" Zhao Yunze hurriedly asked again.

Zhanhui thought for a while and said, "It seems that it is an action, a reward, and I can't believe it." Aren't these all Chinese! ”

Zhao Yunze narrowed his eyes and pondered.

After a while, he asked Zhanhui again: "What about the other group of Dongying people, what abnormal behavior do they have?" ”

Zhanhui said: "We can't understand a word of what the other group of Dongying people said. There were no anomalous behaviors. ”

"This group of Dongying people does have ghosts!" Zhao Yunze said, "Since it is an envoy group, it is not strange that some of them understand Chinese. The strange thing is that when they speak by their own people, they actually speak Chinese. By the way, this group of Dongying people who speak Chinese, usually in front of you, do they speak Dongying dialect or Chinese? ”

Zhanhui thought for a while and said, "They rarely show up, and when they do, they don't speak. ”

"In this way, this group of Dongying people must be pretending to be Han Chinese. In addition, the group of Dongying people, even if they are really envoys sent by the Dongying Kingdom, their purpose of coming to Chang'an is by no means simple. Zhao Yunze said.

"That'...... Lord Zhao, what should we do? Zhanhui asked.

Zhao Yunze pondered for a while and said, "You continue to monitor, and you will enter the palace and explain this matter to Your Majesty." ”

"My lord, is it appropriate to go and tell Your Majesty about this now?" Zhanhui doubted.

Zhao Yunze said: "I can't wait any longer. Tomorrow, it will be the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and if there is any conspiracy among these people, it will be too late. ”
