Chapter 485: Alone

After Xue Yao received Jiang Zhan's letter, she realized that neither of them had received each other's letter because someone was obstructing her.

So she immediately went to the palace to see the emperor and told him all about Jiang Zhan's current situation.

"No wonder I haven't received Jiang Aiqing's letter recently, it turned out that someone intercepted me!" The emperor also knew at this moment that their actions had been monitored by people with intentions.

"Your Majesty, Ah Zhan may be in danger over there, please Your Majesty must find a way to send someone over as soon as possible!" Xue Yao knelt on the ground and pleaded.

She was really worried about Jiang Zhan, but unfortunately she couldn't receive news now, so she could only ask the emperor to find a way to save him from trouble as soon as possible.

"The person I sent over should be arriving soon, you go back and wait with peace of mind, if I can't receive his letter in a few days, I will send the military squire to find him!" The emperor is too far away from that side now, and it is difficult to control the development of things.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Yao knew that the emperor was also embarrassed, but it was good to get his promise.

After Xue Yao went back, he immediately mentioned to Ling Haoxuan that he wanted to go to the Western Regions to find Jiang Zhan.

She was really worried that Jiang Zhan would face those things alone.

After all, he is isolated now, and if he is by his side, Jiang Zhan's situation will not be so difficult, after all, she has a system by her side.

If there is danger, the system will warn you in advance.

Now that Jiang Zhan is so far away from her, the system can't sense his safety at all.

"Sister, Yue'er is still very young, he can't do without you, if you pass, who will take care of him?" Ling Haoxuan knew that she was anxious, but she couldn't go.

Hearing this, Xue Yao's heart was suddenly poured with cold water.

He was right, if he left, the child would cry endlessly.

"Now that the emperor has sent someone over to assist Brother Jiang, I believe that with his ability, he will be able to solve the matter over there soon, and then rush back to accompany us." Ling Haoxuan had been calming her emotions.

At this time, Xue Yao was completely caught up in his worries about Jiang Zhan and ignored many of the problems around him.

Jiang Zhan's side is full of dangers, and those who don't see them are safe.

After all, as Jiang Zhan's relatives, they are also one of the other party's targets.

Recently, they have not left the mansion, just because Jiang Zhan guessed before that someone in the capital had taken refuge in the Western Regions.

Otherwise, the affairs of their imperial court would not be known so clearly in the Western Regions, and there would even be people who dared to secretly ignore the emperor's orders.

Xue Yao glanced at the child sleeping in the small bed, and her reason suddenly returned.

She could indeed go to the border of the Western Regions to find Jiang Zhan, but the child was only a few months old, so it was inconvenient to take him on the road at all, and every time he slept, he had to be coaxed by Xue Yao, otherwise he would cry all night.

After thinking about it carefully, Xue Yao still gave up the idea of going to Jiang Zhan.

After all, as Ling Haoxuan said, those people can control all of Jiang Zhan's affairs without knowing it, and they may not be able to arrest them halfway.

If something happens to them, then Jiang Zhan must be even more dangerous......

Ling Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she no longer insisted on her opinion.

Before Jiang Zhan left, he guessed that if he encountered danger over there, with Xue Yao's temperament, he would definitely go over desperately.

So he asked Ling Haoxuan to stop Xue Yao when she had this thought.

Jiang Zhan knew his wife too well, he thought of all the possibilities, and Xue Yao chose to give up for the sake of the child, as he expected.

Now that they are parents, they can't put life and death aside as they did before.

Children need their protection to grow up safely.

On the other side, after Jiang Zhan and several local officials circled for five days, the person sent by the emperor to replace him finally arrived.

This person has a good ability to explore flowers in the imperial examination, and he also knows some martial arts, so it is also a good decision for him to come here to practice.

After the two met, Jiang Zhan informed him of everything that happened here.

"What are your plans?" That person was uncomfortable with the situation in this place, and he was about to face such a grim situation just now, and he was inevitably uncertain.

After all, if he messes up this matter, his career will probably stop here.

He was finally admitted to Tanhua, in order to be able to pay homage to the prime minister in the future and enter the cabinet.

This is the position that men who have gone on a career path want to get.

"Arrest the caravan first, and then follow the vine to find out the mastermind!" Until this matter is resolved, the dispute here will never end.

The smuggling is so harmful that he will eradicate it no matter how much local officials are involved.

"Master Jiang has a plan?" Tanhua knew that he was a scheming person, so she admired him very much.

"I'm going to take advantage of the sudden death of their leader to lure the snake out of the hole!" When they lose their leader, they will surely panic, and if something happens at this time, they will definitely not be able to contain the fear in their hearts, and go back to their master for help.

After Jiang Zhan came over, he had already thought about everything in advance.

In any case, before he goes to the border, he must completely sort out the hidden dangers here.

After the two discussed, they directly threw the leader's body to the place where the caravan lived.

Those men knew that their leader was dead.

However, when he saw his corpse, he couldn't help but panic, after all, the people who got along with him died so miserably, if they didn't want to find a way to protect themselves, maybe it would be their turn soon.

So, they secretly contacted their master, wanting to stop all actions for the time being.

They felt that as long as they didn't continue smuggling, Jiang Zhan wouldn't dare to do anything even if they stared at them, not to mention that he would leave soon, and it would not be too late for them to continue to make money.

However, their master did not agree, he felt that Jiang Zhan could not stay.

After all, Jiang Zhan had harmed them before, and they had suffered heavy losses in manpower at the border.

Now they have just accumulated silver by relying on this transaction, and now they are going to stop because of Jiang Zhan, how could he have been so.

So he decided to get rid of all those who stood in the way of the caravan's continued smuggling.

That night, before Jiang Zhan had rested, he heard a slight noise.

He got up and stood behind the door, covering his mouth and nose directly.

The other party's smoke failed to hurt Jiang Zhan, but instead stepped into the trap between him and the county order.

When those people learned about the time, they had been tied up by Jiang Zhan and the county commander's men.

Tanhualang, who has just become the county commander, directly ordered someone to take them to the dark room.

"Who ordered you to come?" Jiang Zhan didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so he directly took out the torture instrument and put it in front of them, "If you don't say it, I will start with the whip and apply the punishment one by one." ”

There was a hint of fear in the eyes of those people, but they didn't speak.

Jiang Zhan is not a good stubble, and their master is not a good person, no matter who they offend, there is only one way out for them......

After they were punished by Jiang Zhan, they finally failed to stand up and confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes.

It turned out that their master was none other than the five princes of the Western Regions.

The fifth prince has coveted the position of the lord of the Western Regions for a long time, but in the end he lost to his brother, and he did not want to be subservient, so he has been secretly forming a gang and wanting to fight back.

However, he needed a lot of money to do so, but unfortunately he didn't have much money in his hands, so he focused on smuggling goods.

Not only that, but the previous attacks on those caravans of the Daxuan Dynasty were also led by him behind the scenes.

Very few people knew about this matter, only the fifth prince and a few of his henchmen.

This person will know that it was completely by accident that he overheard the deep conversation between the leader of the caravan and the adviser of the five princes.

At that time, he hid a secret in his heart.

He never dared to divulge anything to others for the sake of his life.

Now under Jiang Zhan's questioning, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and the rest of the caravan really knew very little about it.

After Jiang Zhan ordered them all to be locked up temporarily, he began to find a way to investigate the five princes of the Western Regions.

Since he did it, then all the sticking points are on him.

After someone took over the matter here, Jiang Zhan quietly set off to the border of the Western Regions.

He has now made contact with Xue Yao and the emperor through his own organization.

In order to prevent his letter from being taken away by others, Jiang Zhan directly used the eagle to contact Xue Yao, and then asked her to pass the letter to the emperor.

After arriving at the border, Jiang Zhan became a merchant in the Western Regions, entered the territory of the Western Regions, and secretly met with the people installed by the emperor.

It turned out that he had found out a lot of news, but unfortunately he couldn't contact the outside world, so the news couldn't be delivered.

The situation in the Western Regions is tense now, and the city gate is very strict, and he can't get out.

"What did you find?" Jiang Zhan asked.

"The fifth prince secretly colluded with the ministers, as well as the guards on the border of our dynasty, to provoke a dispute between the two dynasties, and then forced his brother to give way to himself......" He took the capital of the Western Regions for a few days, and naturally knew a lot of news,

It's a pity that he didn't dare to inquire more, for fear that his side would be exposed, and then he would die here, so the news he collected would not be sent.

"The new foreign state of the Western Regions doesn't know about this?" Jiang Zhan felt that it should be impossible for him, and he was unaware of it.

After all, his younger brother had the intention of turning against him, and as the lord of the Western Regions, he couldn't be defenseless.

"My subordinates didn't find out, the lord of the Western Regions has always been in the palace, and ordinary people can't reach it." He shook his head.

"You tell me everything related to the fifth prince in detail first, and we'll discuss other matters later!" Jiang Zhan said.

So the man told him about the background of the fifth prince and his current behavior.

It turned out that the fifth prince was born to a noble concubine and was quite favored before.

However, he was a little cruel and often beat and scolded the servants in the palace, so their father never thought of handing over the throne to him, a son who had no emperor.

As a result, he died suddenly, and before he died, he could only point to the new lord and let him succeed him.

As soon as the old lord died, his sons tore their faces and began to fight with each other.

As a result, the eldest son who had the dictation of the old lord won the throne.

After he became the lord of the country, several of his other younger brothers were not blessed and wanted to collude to get rid of him.

Among them, the five princes are the strongest and have many supporters.

Therefore, he was particularly arrogant in front of the king of the Western Regions, and never took his will seriously......
