Chapter 271: Forced to Risk
readx;? Did Miharu go to Tian Dahai? If so, why did Miharu send medicine to Tian Dahai?
In fact, as early as noon, Sanchun did send Tian Dahai ointment to treat trauma, but this does not mean that there is any past between Sanchun and Tian Dahai. On www.biquge.info the contrary, Sanchun didn't actually know Tian Dahai, and the reason why he would send medicine to Tian Dahai was because he had been secretly instructed by Hai Lao before. To put it bluntly, it was Hai Lao who secretly sent the ointment to Sanchun's hands, and then asked Sanchun to send it to Tian Dahai.
This is also the reason why Sanchun looked at Hai Lao vigorously in all kinds of helplessness just now, just waiting for Hai Lao to stand up and relieve him. But he didn't expect that Hai Lao didn't mean that, and Sanchun didn't dare to betray Hai Lao easily, so he was forced to choose a way to escape.
It's just that Xi Chen's eyes are vicious, but he has already seen through all this, so without waiting for Hai Lao to take the initiative to open his mouth, he took the lead in directly targeting Hai Lao, who has always been low-key.
As soon as Xi Chen's words fell, Han Xiao stood up suddenly, walked in front of Hai Lao in two steps, stared straight at Hai Lao's slightly drooping eyes with a pair of tiger eyes, and then squeezed out a cold question from the corner of his mouth: "If it weren't for Governor Xi Chen telling me this, I wouldn't have guessed that your tentacles would have spread to my camp!"
Lu Yifan looked at all this nervously, Hai Lao's relationship with the people of the Beast Domain was something he already knew, but because Lan Chen's face and he didn't have enough ironclad evidence in his hands, he didn't pierce this layer of window paper, and when Xi Chen asked him so tonight, it seemed that the truth of concealing this was about to come out.
"Lord Han, the old man really doesn't understand what you mean!" Hai Lao's performance was as calm as ever, he looked at Han Xiao with an innocent face, and said unhurriedly, "The old man was ordered to take care of Prince Lan Chen, but he didn't cause any trouble, I don't know why Lord Han poured this dirty water on me today!"
"Really?" A sneer gradually appeared on Han Xiao's face, and then he put his mouth to Hai Lao's ear and said coldly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What kind of conspiracy Lan Shixun is up to, you and I both know very well! You are not from the Lan Mansion at all, and I have never seen you in Jinling City, if I guess correctly, you should be from a certain sect, right?"
The reason why Han Xiao said this was because he had already seen through Hai Lao's details, and knew that Hai Lao's cultivation had reached an extremely terrifying situation, and he didn't guess the relationship between Hai Lao and Xuanzong because Lan Shixun had just led troops to exterminate the Blockade Lou Sect last year, so the relationship with Xuanzong should be extremely tense, so he didn't expect that Xuanzong would send a master to help Lan Shixun.
"Hehe, Lord Han's imagination is really rich, but the old decay is really unblessed, if Lord Han really has any evidence, you might as well take it out and make it clear, the provincial adults have misunderstood the old decay!"
"Okay, okay, then you can explain what your relationship with Tian Dahai is?"
"It's okay!" Hai Lao shook his head and denied, "The old man doesn't know Tian Dahai!" And Sanchun went to send medicine to Tian Dahai privately today, maybe because Sanchun is a child with a good nature, and then he couldn't see that Master Qianhu was injured because of our affairs, so he went to send him some ointment to express his heart!"
Listening to Hai Lao's shameless words of being cheap and obedient, Han Xiao's eyes were almost bursting with fire.
"You said you didn't know Tian Dahai?" Han Xiao asked word by word.
"I don't know!"
"Okay!" Han Xiao waved his hand suddenly, then turned around and walked to the tent door, shouting loudly to the sergeant outside the tent, "Come on, go and find Tian Dahai for me!"
As soon as he heard Han Xiao's words, Sanchun hurriedly shouted in fright: "Han ...... Lord Han...... Lord Qianhu has just received a hundred military sticks today, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to stay now......"
"It's okay!" Han Xiao snorted coldly, "Even if it is carried for me, you must bring it to me today, you must ask me clearly! Everyone is in the camp from beginning to end, and it is all within my plan, the only thing that is close is this group of refugees who came out of nowhere yesterday, I don't believe that there will be such a coincidence in the world, if I don't find out today, this matter is like a fish in my throat, don't vomit and be unhappy!"
"But ......"
"You still dare to say it!" Before Sanchun could stop him again, the angry Lan Chen raised a kick and kicked Sanchun heavily in the chest, which also made Sanchun hold back the rest of his words.
Looking at Lan Chen's actions, Lu Yifan, who originally thought that the situation was clear, couldn't help but have a trace of doubt on his face again.
"Looking at Lan Chen's appearance at the moment, it doesn't seem like he knew these things in advance...... If it wasn't really unaware, it was Lan Chen's deliberate disguise...... But if it's a disguise, then Lan Chen's performance is too realistic, right?" Lu Yifan secretly speculated in his heart about Lan Chen's true intentions.
"Report!"
Suddenly, accompanied by a rapid report, I saw a military advisor rush into the account, knelt directly in front of Han Xiao, and looked panicked: "Tell your lord, the big thing is not good, and he ...... the sea of Qiantoda."
"What's wrong with him?" Han Xiao suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
"He couldn't survive the wounds of the hundred sticks...... Dead!"
"What?"
As soon as the sergeant said this, everyone in the account stood up in unison and stared at the sergeant with surprised expressions.
"When did you die?" asked Xi Chen.
"I don't know the exact hour, but he must have been dead for more than an hour, and after noon to-day, he was alone in the tent to recuperate, and he was not in a good mood, so he ordered no one to disturb him, until I went to deliver his life, he was still alone in the tent, and when I found him, his body was already cold!" replied the sergeant hurriedly.
"Tian Dahai was actually beaten to death by a hundred military sticks?" Han Xiao frowned and shook his head again and again, "Impossible, if you can't bear it, you should have been unable to survive the punishment of the cane, and it is impossible to wait until after noon to die...... After noon...... After noon......" Suddenly, Han Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something, and then a pair of tiger eyes shot straight at Sanchun, "I remember that you went to secretly deliver medicine to him after noon, right?"
"I ...... I...... I didn't kill him...... I really just sent him medicine, and I definitely didn't kill him......" Sanchun was sweating profusely and wailing desperately to explain, for fear that Han Xiao would detain this black cauldron on himself.
"What kind of medicine did you give?" Lu Yifan frowned and asked, "Where did this medicine come from?"
"Medicine...... Medicine ......"
"My lord, it should be this bottle!" Without waiting for Sanchun to find an excuse to prevaricate, the sergeant kneeling in the tent presented a white jade bottle with both hands, and when he opened the mouth of the white jade bottle, a strong smell of medicine suddenly permeated the big tent.
Xi Chen sniffed the smell of the medicine and muttered to himself: "This should be just an ordinary herb for removing blood stasis and activating blood, and I know the ingredients very well, and there is nothing abnormal about it!"
Hearing Xi Chen's words, Lu Yifan turned his puzzled gaze to Liu Sandao standing behind him, compared to others, Liu Sandao, who had lived alone in Xihuang Mountain since childhood, also had an extremely in-depth understanding of various medicines. Facing Lu Yifan's inquiring gaze, Liu Sandao first took a deep breath of the medicinal taste, and then a hint of contemplation flashed between his eyebrows, and only after a moment did he nod to Lu Yifan, indicating that what Xi Chen said was not wrong.
"What wounds does Tian Dahai have?" Han Xiao asked again.
"Lord Hui, Tian Dahai has no unusual wounds on his body, just stick wounds on his back!" replied the sergeant with an affirmative face.
"This ......"
"The smell of medicine is not abnormal, but it does not mean that Tian Dahai's death is not suspicious!" Xi Chen said faintly, "After Tian Dahai is punished, he will definitely return to the camp to apply the medicine immediately, and your medicine was sent after noon, if there is any other effect between the two medicines, it is not absolutely impossible! After all, everything in the world is born and restrains each other, and it is not surprising that there are some little-known harmful tricks! Now, you should tell me where your medicine came from?"
"This medicine...... This medicine is ......" Sanchun hesitated and kept scratching his ears and cheeks, and at this moment he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, because the feeling of being stared at by everyone in the account was too bad.
"What is it?" Lan Chen angrily rushed over and grabbed Sanchun's collar, and dragged Sanchun in front of him with a hard tug, "If you don't make it clear, don't say that it's Lord Han and the Governor, even I won't spare you!"
"Childe...... Childe save me...... For the sake of me serving Childe for so many years, Childe must have asked me......"
"Say!" Lan Chen pulled Sanchun's shirt hard, and roared in a low voice, shaking Sanchun's head into dizziness.
"This medicine is actually ......"
"It was given to him by the old man!" "Without waiting for Sanchun to say the following words, Hai Lao took the first step to admit it, "Sanchun couldn't bear to see Tian Dahai being beaten, so he asked me for help, and I randomly selected the medicine I carried with me and handed it to him!" Hai Lao said and looked straight at Sanchun with his kind eyes, and asked word by word, "Sanchun, am I right?"
"Yes, yes, yes......" The relieved Sanchun has no thoughts of his own at the moment, as long as someone can relieve him, he will naturally say everything right, and at this moment, under the gaze of Hai Lao, he nodded again and again in a panic, "That's it, that's it......"
Hearing this, Lan Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this matter really had something to do with Hai Lao.
"Hai Lao, you ......"
"I came to Northern Xinjiang with my son, this place is not as good as Jinling City, snakes, insects, rats and ants, the miasma in the mountains is unguardable, when I am leaving, I am instructed by Lord Lan to naturally prepare more medicinal materials by my side, in case of emergency!" Hai Lao looked like he should be, and said with a smile, "Originally, I was just to take care of the safety of my son, but I didn't want to provoke Lord Han and Governor Xi Chen to criticize the old man today, the old man is really wronged!" After that, Hai Lao also smiled at Lan Chen self-deprecatingly, and this also made Lan Chen, who originally had a big stone hanging in his heart, quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lord Han!" Lan Chen arched his hand at Han Xiao with righteous words, "I ran away from the remnants of the nine beast clans, and I am just as anxious as the adults, but the adults can't blame me for this matter! After all, it was not Lan Chen's deliberate arrangement that he didn't follow the adults to sneak attack last night, but Lord Han deliberately ignored Lan Chen!
Han Xiao and Xi Chen couldn't help but glance at each other, although they knew that Hai Hai Lao and Sanchun were lying, and although they knew that the excuse they were making was very clumsy, but the fact was that now Tian Dahai was dead, it could be said that there was no proof of death. As Xi Chen said at the beginning, without conclusive evidence, even Han Xiao couldn't make any excessive moves against Lan Chen.
"Lan Chen, you've been in Northern Xinjiang for so long, have you ever visited your father's old subordinate, General Chu Lingtian?" Seeing Han Xiao's solemn expression, Xi Chen knew in his heart that Han Xiao would definitely not give up so easily, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Except for the last time I saw Ma Rufeng in the Border Guard Mansion, I haven't had any contact!" Lan Chen was obviously full of grievances and dissatisfaction, so his words became a little stiff.
"Oh! Don't forget your roots! Now that the matter of the beast clan has been resolved, I think you can also take the time to go to the Northern Xinjiang camp and visit Chu Lingtian for Lord Lan!" Xi Chen said with a smile, and his words also made Hai Lao's face flash a look of doubt, obviously Hai Lao couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this Xi Chen's gourd.
You must know that it is too late for Han Xiao to prevent Lan Chen from contacting Chu Lingtian, why would Xi Chen make such a strange request to let them take the initiative to meet?
Not only did Hai Lao not understand, but even Han Xiao and Lu Yifan were also confused. But Han Xiao knew Xi Chen's personality very well, and he expected that there must be a reason for him to do this, so although he was puzzled, he didn't ask questions immediately, just sat there angrily, pretending not to hear. As for Lu Yifan, he can only wait and see what happens.
"The Governor means ......"
"You can leave for the Northern Frontier camp tomorrow, and Yu privately will visit your former subordinates for Lord Lan. Yu Gong went to greet General Chu and the 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion for my Border Guard Mansion!" Xi Chen said with a light smile, "Let's just say that I, Xi Chen, am busy with official business, so I can't go over in person!"
Lan Chen nodded slowly, and said, "Since the governor has an order, then Lan Chen is naturally disrespectful!"
"That's right, I also prepared some light gifts for General Chu, you can take them with you!" Xi Chen continued, "Also, let Lu Yifan go with you this time, he is a newly promoted banner master like you, and he will go to visit General Chu sooner or later, so this time I also want him to go with you to see the might of the Northern Xinjiang battalion!"
"This ......" Lan Chen hesitated slightly, but after he glanced at Lu Yifan, who was silent, and Han Xiao, who was scrutinizing, he replied happily, "No problem, I will go to the Northern Frontier camp with Lu Yifan early tomorrow morning!"
At this point, Han Xiao, Hai Lao and Lu Yifan almost simultaneously figured out Xi Chen's true intentions, he was planning to make another plan after he couldn't do it!
Using Lu Yifan as bait, he deliberately let Lan Chen get close to the camp in Northern Xinjiang, in order to lure the snake out of the hole and force Lan Chen and Chu Lingtian to take the initiative to show their feet.
Although this chess has a great chance for Han Xiao to seize Lan Shixun's handle, there is also a great danger hidden in it, one of the dangers is that Lu Yifan, who is weak and goes deep into the tiger's den, will face the fact that he will be swallowed by an army of 100,000 at any time. The second danger is that once Chu Lingtian and Lan Chen hit it off, and the 100,000 army is waiting for the opportunity to move, then Han Xiao, Xi Chen, and the 50,000 army stationed here will all face a passive situation of being outnumbered by the enemy, and the situation is dangerous.
Xi Chen's trick is dangerous and dangerous, quiet is like walking on thin ice and dying for a lifetime, moving is an abyss and ten deaths are not returned!
