Chapter 90: The Suspicion of Assassination

A few months ago, due to the tense war in the northern border of Daqian, the imperial court had to use the Qishan Iron Cavalry, which was increasingly distrusted by them.

Even though it has been increasingly ignored by the imperial court in recent years, the sense of mission in the hearts of the children of Daqi has never wavered for a moment.

After receiving the order, the commander Duanmu Hongtu took the deputy marshal Han Yuyang and his 50,000 iron cavalry to the battlefield, and after they entered the battlefield, the situation with the enemy Beiyan was quickly reversed.

In nearly half a month, 18 cities were recovered one after another, and the Northern Yan army was defeated and retreated, so it could only take an unusually defensive position.

This is the first time in the war between the two countries, when the Northern Yan army faced the border army of Daqianzhen, they could almost be described as strong as crushing, but they only encountered the Qishan iron cavalry, but they seemed at a loss.

On the one hand, the great cadres seized the time to repair the city, built garrisons, and hoarded grain and grass, and on the other hand, they actively dispatched troops to replenish the source of troops.

The overall war is stable and improving, and some people in the temple have begun to advocate a large-scale counteroffensive, not only to drive the Northern Yan people out of the territory of Daqian, but also to raise troops to the north to attack the southern border of Dayan.

However, just when everyone thought that the situation had been reversed, news came from the north that Hiroshi Duanmu had been assassinated.

That night, Duanmu Hongtu and the soldiers discussed military affairs in the Chinese military tent, then unloaded their armor and slept, and they were safe all night, until noon the next day, when everyone did not see the boss out of the account, they realized that something had happened.

After discovering that Duanmu Hongtu was killed in the military tent, someone immediately revealed that the deputy marshal Han Yuyang had sneaked into the commander's tent in the middle of the night, so he was the murderer.

For a while, there was chaos in the military camp, and Han Yuyang fled in a thrilling way under the protection of his cronies, and then went all the way south to Shanguan Town.

The loss of the commander, the heart of the army wavered Qishan Iron Cavalry was also immediately attacked by the Northern Yan army, in front of them was a wolf-like enemy army, behind them is the town border army that is extremely distrustful of them, the situation can be said to be extremely difficult and dangerous.

In the end, he still lost the city that had just been regained for a short time, and the Qishan Iron Cavalry was forced to give up the cavalry combat they were good at in the repeated battles to block the enemy, and instead relied on the city to either hold on or fight in the streets, so that the 50,000 army was quickly lost more than half.

This is a series of events that happened before and after Duanmu Hongtu was assassinated.

Han Yuyang and Duanmu Qing's faces were silent and sullen, their feelings for Qishan were extremely deep, and now they just wanted to wash away their grievances and give Qishan justice.

"We have been in the royal capital for half a month, although the imperial court has not taken any drastic measures against Qishan because of the emperor's relationship, but we have not been able to trace any clues about the murderer, maybe we are wrong?"

Han Yuyang held the teacup tightly in his hand, and in the cup was the flower tea that Wu Yue had just made for them, which was fragrant and refreshing.

It's just that although this tea is good, I don't want to taste it.

Jiang Chen pondered for a while before he spoke: "According to what you said, you did enter the military tent halfway that night, and at that time, you happened to find that General Duanmu had a short sword in his chest, and he was already in a state of near death. ”

"He told you that the man who attacked him had a tattoo on his chest, and told you to keep quiet and secretly track down the whereabouts of the murderer. At the same time, he also said that the reason why Lao Wu left Qishan was also related to this kind of tattoo. ”

Han Yuyang nodded.

"After that, you took the talisman from General Duanmu, and his last instruction before he died was to let you leave the barracks with the talisman, and if you feel weak and cornered, you can go to Lao Wu."

Han Yuyang nodded again, and all his actions after that were carried out according to Duanmu Hongtu's words.

Although Lao Wu has been away from the Qishan Army for 20 years, his status and prestige are still there, not to mention that Lao Wu is also directly related to this three-eyed snake head tattoo, and you can get great help from him.

After leaving Duanmu Hongtu's military tent, Han Yuyang remained silent, he secretly investigated who had entered the military tent before him, but he didn't get anything for the whole night.

In the end, he had to wait until dawn the next day, and with the help of some cronies, he escaped from the barracks and headed south.

Before his death, Duanmu Hongtu realized that there must be a rebel in the military camp, and the mastermind behind this rebel may be an extraordinary huge force, and he regarded Han Yuyang as the hope to save Qishan.

Jiang Chen reviewed the whole course of the incident, and the only thing that aroused his idea was to go to the Qishan military camp to reward the officials of the three armies on behalf of the imperial court the day before the incident.

"Yanzhou Mu, Wang Qiaoling."

This person came to the Qishan military camp the day before Duanmu Hongtu's assassination, and quietly left the land of right and wrong after the incident, so Jiang Chen thought that this person was very suspicious, and if he could start with him and investigate thoroughly, he should be able to find out the truth.

After that, Wang Qiaoling came to the royal capital to recuperate because of illness, and he has lived here for nearly half a year.

Han Yuyang and Duanmu Qing have been investigating this person recently, and it turned out that he has hardly appeared in the past half a year, and has been living in a private house west of the royal capital.

As a result, their investigation became difficult, and when they couldn't find any clues for a long time, Han Yuyang became anxious.

"Wang Qiaoling may just be an outsider, and he just happened to this by luck."

Duanmu Qing said his guess, but Jiang Chen didn't think so.

There are a lot of suspicions in this person, but they are just right to cover up, so that people can't check him at all, and things can't be so coincidental.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "It seems that we have to find a way to enter that private mansion to see how Wang Qiaoling is now." In addition, the man with a snake head tattoo on his chest that I met in the morning must also be investigated! ”

Lao Wu died in revenge, and he did kill Qi Zhaoxuan with his own hands, but if the latter is only one of the members of a huge organization, then it means that Lao Wu's revenge is not completely over.

"That's it, I'll check on the tattooed man at night, and then find a way to sneak into Wang Qiaoling's private house, all in all, don't be impetuous, these things are not as easy to do as you imagined."

Han Yuyang took a few sips of tea, and his mood finally calmed down.

Because he was still a wanted criminal, it was inconvenient for him to act swaggering in the royal capital, so he had to hand over this matter to Jiang Chen now.

"You'll have to do me a favor, though." Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.

"Just say it directly, what else is polite between you and me."

I saw Jiang Chen look at Duanmu Qing and said, "I will definitely be very busy in the future, but the business in the shop still has to be done, so I want to borrow Duanmu girl for a few days to help Yue'er." ”
