Chapter 499: The Culprit

The sun is rising, and there is a chill in the morning.

In front of the rocky gorge, the sound of horses' hooves shook.

The sheep guard stood on the rock wall, staring at the messy battlefield and the cold corpse on the messy battlefield.

The chest was pierced, and the red blood had dried up. Huan Zhong's face was still the same, but there was still unwillingness and resentment.

Yang Jian looked at Huan Zhong's appearance, although Huan Zhong was facing him, and he was embarrassed everywhere. But at this moment, Yang Jian's heart was empty and desolate.

"It's so miserable, the generals are all dead in the canyon, it's the hand of the demon clan. According to the surviving brothers, it was the Demon Emperor and his Dragon Hunter who did it, as well as the Eight Tribes. When the brothers outside the narrow road wanted to rush up to save General Huan Zhong, they were blocked out by the demon clan, and by the time they rushed up, General Huan Zhong had been besieged to death by the demon clan. And the demon clan all flew away on the dragon hunt. ”

It was not until noon that the sheep finally arranged the remaining soldiers and stepped forward with sad faces. They received a warning from Huan Zhong's army last night, and came to support them overnight, and when they arrived, they could no longer see the shadow of the enemy at all.

Yang Jian's eyes were solemn, he was at the forefront with Huan Zhong and Zheng Da, and he knew the situation of the enemy and us best.

When the demon clan attacked before, Yang Jian had already noticed that the demon army was fighting too smoothly, and it seemed that he had long been aware of Zheng Da's military deployment, attacking the void and avoiding the real, which caused Zheng Da a lot of trouble.

After that, Zheng Da urgently adjusted the deployment, and after that, the demon army stopped attacking. However, during this time, the Liang army suffered heavy losses. Not only in terms of troops, but also in terms of equipment, food and grass, etc., the losses were huge.

And now, Huan Zhong is ambushed here again. It's only a day's journey from the Shocking Moon Pass, and it belongs to the rear. If Huan Zhong was already on the front line, it was not impossible to be ambushed. But here, it's really strange.

What's more, the Demon Clan's timing was so accurate, and the power used was so elite, it seemed that Huan Zhong had long known that Huan Zhong would pass by at that time.

The probability of accident is not large, and Yang Jian really can't imagine that the Demon Emperor will have anything else to do here with such a large elite force. Then it is more likely that the elite of the demon clan is deliberately ambushed here.

But in this way, Yang Jian has greater doubts in his heart.

For example, Huan Zhong led the army to support Shengganhu and other military operations, and the specific route and time were top secret, so even Yang Jian, a hussar general, did not know.

No more than ten fingers know about this matter inside the Great Liang, how did the demon clan know about it?

The blood was frozen by the ice, and there was almost no demon clan on the rock wall except for the corpses of the Liang soldiers, which said that the ruthlessness and accuracy of this attack were faced.

The most important thing is that Huan Zhong doesn't see the corpse of the demon clan around him, it is empty.

To deal with a general with profound cultivation like Huan Zhong so quickly, the power used by the demon clan was quite terrifying.

So where exactly does the problem arise?

The sheep guard paced on the rock wall, and the sheep beside him did not dare to disturb him, but just stood beside him, not daring to say a word. The sheep is very clear, and the sheep inspection at this time is contemplative.

His footsteps suddenly flickered, and a terrible fact flashed in his mind.

What if the problem is at the top of the girder?

Then, the sheep took another step, his beard swaying slightly in the wind.

Who is it?

Huan Gong, Huan Li, Su Wen........ These names flashed in the mind of the sheep inspector, like but not like, and so on!

Whisk!

In Yang Jian's mind, the name of the current Empress Dowager Daliang suddenly appeared. Huan Qi died so suddenly that the court situation in Shenwu City changed too quickly, so fast that the sheep inspection barely saw it clearly, but the court situation within the Liang court stabilized.

The youngest son ascended the throne, the queen mother hung the curtain, and the four ministers who took care of their lives assisted the government, which seems to be very normal. But Yang Jian understood Huan Qi, he concealed his illness in advance, until the last moment, the officials and people in Shenwu City thought that he was out cruising, if he would only pass the throne to Huan Tang, do you need to do this?

Intuition told Yang Jian that all this was inseparable from the woman Su Mei.

Things happened so weirdly that when Yang Jian was puzzled, there was a lifetime of eagle singing from the sky.

The swift eagle fell, and the sheep took the news from the bamboo tube, opened it, and frowned.

"Uncle, Shenwu City has received news here, and Huan Li wants to summon you back to inquire about the specific situation."

"So fast!"

Yang Jian exclaimed, Huan Li's reaction was too fast, so fast that it exceeded Huan Li's ability.

"Uncle, Huan Li has always been at odds with you, and the Huan clan is eyeing us. If you go back this time, it will be dangerous, why don't you stay in Lufu and defend yourself, but they won't dare to take us? ”

"No, I'm going! There is one thing I have to find out, and I can only understand it when I go to Deep Sycamore City. ”

Yang Jian waved his hand, beckoned Yang to come, and said, "There are two things for you to do." First, tell Zheng Da that he must not send troops to meet the enemy. Second, find Zhao Ye, he may be in danger. ”

"Plus!" Yang Jian's face was full of worry, "When I am not there, let those little cubs in charge of the clan be careful, and don't pay attention to Yang Xian's way." ”

"I see."

Deep Sycamore City.

"Brother Li, why did you recruit the sheep back?"

In the remote room of the palace where the minister was in charge, Huan Gong was very dissatisfied with Huan Li's behavior of hiding his private decisions.

"Brother Zhong is dead!" Huan Li roared, "Of the 40,000 troops, including 10,000 heavy armor, only half survived. The place where the accident happened is so close to Lufu, you said that it has nothing to do with the sheep inspection, is that possible? What's more, even if it really has nothing to do with the sheep inspection, the place where the accident happened is near his jurisdiction, is it wrong to find him back? If the sheep inspection doesn't come here, then his collusion with the demon clan will be decided! ”

Huan Li spoke so eloquently that Huan Gong was very bored. He is a martial artist, and he is not good at this kind of verbal argument.

Huan Gong looked to the side, Su Wen was still the old god, and he didn't seem to care about anything.

"Master Su, what do you think?"

Su Wen sighed lightly and said, "The matter has come to this point, just look at the reply from the sheep inspection!" ”

Unlike Huan Li and Huan Gong, Su Wen had a faint premonition in his heart about this sudden incident, knowing who did it.

But because of this, Su Wen felt cold. Su Mei is already the queen mother of Daliang, and she is in a high position, but if this matter is really done by her, then what will the Su family face in the future?

Su Wen felt terrible when he thought about it. But the problem is that the Su family is now tied to Su Mei, and they are both prosperous. This woman can ignore her toddler lover and ignore it, but it is impossible for Su Wen to go crazy with her, watching Su Mei bring the entire Su family into the abyss.

But the question is, how can the Su clan get out?

Inexplicably, Su Wen remembered the name of a person, a name that might be the culprit of the whole incident.
