Chapter 725: Blood Book

The results of several mages asking separately were similar, and no one dared to tell a lie when they asked separately. Before, Chen Xiaoru's killing method of splitting people into pieces alive and being very slow made them feel uneasy, and everyone was afraid that they would tell a lie and their companions would betray them. Normal people can't stand the bloodshed when they keep staring at a pig being chopped up, let alone a person? So the answer is basically the same.

Chen Xiaoru asked the five frightened and paralyzed mages to be taken down, and then went to see Fang Jie.

"General, it seems that these people don't know much."

、

Chen Xiaoru said: "I asked separately, and the answers were almost the same. They replied that less than a year earlier, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Rus' had sought them all in, and then asked none of the six of them to leave the Principality of Rus' to wait for an important mission. Half a year ago, the Grand Duke found the six of them again and let them go to Eastern Chu. But then because the Grand Duke of the Rus Principality was assassinated, the matter dragged on again. ”

"Three months ago, they arrived in Eastern Chu, and then they were received by the Emperor of Eastern Chu, and together with an army of five hundred people from the Principality of Rus, they took the sea ship of Eastern Chu to bypass the coast of the Great Sui and went directly to Nanyan."

He paused and said: "It's a bit unreasonable, don't say that a year ago, even if it was three months ago, we just defeated the Southern Yan army, and it is impossible for the people of Eastern Chu to know the news on the same day and send people here immediately." Therefore, even if there was no matter of Murong Yan's later alliance with Eastern Chu, these people would have come to Great Sui. The subordinates guessed, but initially their purpose was not here, but somewhere else. ”

Fang Xie knew that Chen Xiaoru's analysis was reasonable, and nodded: "Don't relax, continue to interrogate." In addition, the leader of the assassins in Dongchu said nothing. ”

"I said something, but he was just the small leader of an assassination team secretly in the Eastern Chu Emperor, and he only took orders to act, and he didn't dare to ask anything."

He said......"

Chen Xiaoru looked through the confession: "From a long time ago, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Rus had close contacts with the Eastern Chu Emperor, which can be traced back to the time when the Great Sui had just begun civil strife. He guessed that it should be the Emperor of Eastern Chu who planned to move troops against the Great Sui, but the strength of Eastern Chu was limited and he did not dare to start a war easily, so he was ready to ask the Principality of Rus to send troops to assist, and then share some benefits to the Principality of Rus. But the Grand Duke of the Rus' Principality has not been very interested in this matter, after all, the Rus' Principality is only a small country, and the army that can be called up is limited, and it has to face the threat of neighboring countries. ”

After the assassination of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Rus, the powerful Opru Empire on the other side of the ocean directly sent troops to take over the Principality of Rus, appointing a general to manage it. This general began to reconnect with the Emperor of Eastern Chu, and it didn't take long for him to send people to Eastern Chu. ”

Chen Xiaoru handed the confession to Fang Jie: "This person knows so much, and he still speculated based on what he heard. ”

Fang Xie nodded, took the confession and looked at it: "Let him try his best to think about it, all the exchanges between Eastern Chu and the Principality of Rus in the past two years, he has to say everything he knows, and he can remember how much." ”

"The Great General......

Chen Xiaoru hesitated for a moment and asked, "This matter seems to have nothing to do with us. The subordinates speculated that the Emperor of Eastern Chu also didn't trust those people in the Rus Principality very much, and it happened that Murong Yan sent an envoy to Eastern Chu to ask for help, and the Emperor of Eastern Chu simply let them come to Nanyan in order to test the ability of these Rus? ”

"Good."

Fang Xie praised: "What you think is not against the truth......"

He turned his head to look at Sanjin Hou and asked: "Cargo Tong Tianxia is the largest partner of Eastern Chu merchants, and all the goods sent to Dasui are basically negotiated between Eastern Chu merchants and Dongchu merchants. Master Hou, how much do you know about that Rus principality, and how much do you know about that Opru Empire? ”

Sanjin Hou pondered for a while and said: "Regarding the affairs of foreigners, there are more people who know more about wine and wealth, but he is not there...... The business with foreigners and Dongchu people, I will take care of it mostly with wine and wealth. If the general needs it, I will immediately send someone to Chang'an to let the wine and wealth come back. ”

"Not necessarily, just want to know something."

Fang Xie waved his hand.

"I don't know much about it......

Sanjin Hou thought for a while and said: "On the other side of the ocean, the closest to Eastern Chu should be a powerful country called the Aegean Empire, which is similar to the Great Sui in many places. Most members of the imperial family will be crowned princes, and then a large area of the empire will be divided into fiefs. Called a kingdom, a principality. This Grand Duke of Rus was the nephew of the Emperor of the Aegean Empire? It seems that the fief is in the westernmost part. ”

"Most of the foreigners that the merchants of Eastern Chu came into contact with were people from the Rus' principality. But later, further east, an empire called Opru gradually rose, constantly attacking the Aegean Empire, and the Aegean Empire's army was defeated in successive battles, and it only lasted less than a year before the Opru Empire was destroyed. After the imperial capital was breached, the emperor of the Ai Lu Qing Empire was hanged. After that, all the vassal kingdoms of the Aegean Empire, the principalities, declared their allegiance to the Opru Empire, so they were preserved. ”

"This Rus Principality is the farthest away from the Opru Empire, and no matter how strong the Opru Empire is, it does not have enough military strength to purge all the kingdoms and principalities of the Aegean Empire, so after they surrender, they still maintain their original status. The Grand Duke of Rus was assassinated, and the Opru Empire sent troops to the Rus Duchy, apparently related to the Eastern Chu people. ”

Fang Xie nodded, he always felt that the stories of foreigners were very familiar, and then thought about it, there were too many versions of the historical stories he had seen in his previous life.

"Send someone to Dongjiang again."

Fang Xie was silent for a while and said: "I always feel that the ambition of this Oplu Empire is not small, either Eastern Chu is using the Oplu Empire, or the Oplu Empire is using Eastern Chu, if it is the latter, then the goal of the Oplu Empire is obviously not only Eastern Chu...... If nothing else, that Grand Duke of Rus should have been assassinated by the people of the Opru Empire, and then Opru's army directly took over the Principality of Rus. ”

"I wrote two handwritten letters, one to General Yang Shunhui and one to Mufu."

Fang Xie rubbed the corners of his brows, which were a little furrowed: "Now the Great Sui Sailors are all caught in civil strife, and the most powerful Yangtze River Sailors are divided into four...... Part of it is in the hands of Wang Yiqu, part is in the hands of Luo Tu, some part is back to the court, and the smallest part is in our hands. ”

Fang Xie was a little worried: "At this time, if there is another invasion of foreign enemies in Eastern Xinjiang, the Great Sui will really be in chaos." ”

At this moment, a Xiao Riding School suddenly ran over in a hurry, and several Xiao Riding Schools behind him were holding a messenger who looked tired and almost fainted, which should also be a person from the Xiao Riding School.

"General, there's a letter from the capital!"

……

……

Fang Xie picked up the fire paint and took out a secret letter in the iron box. Fang Xie thought it would be written by Mu San or Liquor Cai, but when he opened it up, he found that the font was wrong. The self on the letter paper is very beautiful, and you can see at a glance that it is from a woman's hand. And the words are very neat, and there is a solemn taste in Juan Xiu. Look at the words and sentences, and the status is noble. The most bizarre thing is that this letter was written with a brush dipped in blood.

He frowned slightly, then read the secret letter from beginning to end.

"Kisan has made a great contribution this time......"

The corners of Fang Jie's eyebrows involuntarily raised, there was surprise in his eyes, he sighed slightly, and handed the letter to Sanjin Hou: "The little emperor committed suicide and died, and all the descendants of the Yang family were imprisoned in Changchun Garden. Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing, who led the troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, have also been stripped of their official titles, and the ironclad general has left Chang'an, and it seems that he is going to seize military power. The face of the ironclad general has also been clarified...... What a surprise! ”

Sanjin Hou Wu took the letter paper and looked at it carefully, only after reading a few words, his face changed greatly: "Unexpectedly...... Could it be Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Great Sui?! ”

He stood up in surprise, his hand holding the letter trembling slightly. Seeing that his face was so ugly, it was obvious that he was frightened by the news of this letter. However, this is also a normal reaction, no one would have thought that the ironclad general would actually be Yang Jian, the Emperor of the Great Sui Taizu.

"Is this what Luo Yao is worried about?"

Fang Xie muttered.

"I'm afraid it's ......"

Wu Yiyi sat down again, but his emotions had not yet recovered: "Wan Xingchen is a good means...... He actually used half of his cultivation to renew the life of the founding emperor of the Great Sui, although the princess's letter said that Wan Xingchen did this out of revenge, but this is not a means against the sky? I have been in Chang'an for so many years, but I have never heard of such an unbelievable thing...... However, if Yang Jian is resurrected, then who is the tiger? ”

"The letter said that Yang Jian had actually absorbed half of Wan Xingchen's cultivation, and coupled with the qi that Yang Jian had cultivated for so long, it was no wonder that he was able to defeat Luo Yao. A master like Luo Yao must have sensed something, and those old monsters in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy must have heard of it, so he revealed the news to Luo Yao, so that Luo Yao and Yang Jian could fight to defeat both. Those people in Jiangnan are very calculating, they want to make a profit. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "This secret letter was brought out by Mu San desperately from Changchun Garden. If he hadn't been familiar with the garden, he wouldn't have been able to sneak in. Now the eldest princess Yang Qinyan is trapped in Changchun Garden, and she wrote this letter in blood......"

"Let the general lead your troops north?"

Wu Yiyi shook his head: "Absolutely not!" ”

He said eagerly: "The 20,000 ironclad soldiers are not expected to be alive, it should be what means Yang Jian and Wan Xingchen used to preserve such 20,000 of the most elite soldiers." Although our current military strength is not weak, we will not be able to win nine times out of ten if we go north! Think twice, this matter needs to be considered in the long run! ”

"I know the way"

Fang Xie took the blood letter and looked at it again, and the last sentence on the letter was particularly eye-catching.

"When the Great Sui is in trouble, I have no one to ask for except the general, I hope the general still misses a little bit of the Yang family, the country is not easy, the people are not easy, and it is not easy to save the Great Sui Yu ......."

"Yang Jian is her ancestor...... But she said that she wanted me to save Da Sui, what is this for? ”

Fang Xie Zhi said that there were too many things in this letter that were not clearly written. And what kind of loneliness and helplessness will Her Royal Highness the princess who is trapped in Changchun Garden be?

"In any case, now is not the time to march north!"

Wu Yiyi shook his head and said: "Now our Black Flag Army has not yet gained a firm foothold in the southwest, Yongbei Road, South Hui Road, North Hui Road, these three roads are not in our hands, although the Zhuque Mountain Camp and Yongzhou One South and One North clamp these three to the death, but how easy is it to make those people compromise?" In addition, he has to go south to conquer Murong Shame, where is the energy to go north? General, if you are not careful, the Black Flag Army will be in vain! ”

Fang Xie glanced at Wu Yiyi, and then hugged his fists: "Hou Ye's words, every word is for the consideration of the Black Flag Army, thank you!" ”

Wu Yiyi was slightly stunned, and then said: "I have handed over everything to the Black Flag Army to the general, for the sake of the future, the general should not pay attention to this letter." ”

Fang Xie nodded: "I know that I won't do stupid things." ”

He looked at Wu Yi's eager face, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
