Jiajing stood up suddenly, staring at Lu Bing with his eyes, and then slowly sat down again.

"When will you know?"

"The two brocade guards who were in Qi Jiguang's army last night are back. There are spies in the army, revealing the whereabouts of reinforcements. Although Xiao Feng designed to eliminate the spies, he was still one step late, and the five thousand cavalry were surrounded by the Tatars on the mountain.

Xiao Feng led a hundred cavalry to attract enemy firepower, and let Qi Jiguang lead the team to break through and go to the direction of Gubeikou.

The two of them managed to get into the hundred cavalry brought by Xiao Feng, and they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape with Xiao Feng in hiding, but the gravel on the hillside weathered, and they were caught together with Xiao Feng. ”

Jiajing frowned, but did not interrupt Lu Bing's narration. Lu Bing took the initiative to pause, as if he felt that Jiajing should have a question to ask here, and saw that Jiajing did not move, so he continued.

The Tatars threatened with their lives and asked Xiao Feng to kneel, but Xiao Feng refused. Later, the Tatars gambled with the lives of two of their own soldiers, and Xiao Feng knelt down.

The Tatars could not break their promise, so they released them both. Because the two of them had no horses, they climbed the mountain and walked all the way back to Beijing, so they only arrived last night, and both of them were seriously injured. ”

Seeing that Lu Bing no longer spoke, Jiajing pondered for a long time before slowly exhaling.

"What do you think of what Yan Song said in the court?"

Because Lu Bing has been very busy recently, he was not present at this court meeting, but Jiajing did not relay it to him at all, because he knew very well that with Lu Bing's position and means, these public things in the court were like live broadcasts to him.

Lu Bing stood up straight, his expression solemn, he hadn't bothered to organize language in front of Jiajing for a long time. Because he knows that this question involves the lives of too many people, and may even involve the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hooray, don't believe me."

"Do you think what Yan Song said is completely unreasonable?"

"No, what Yan Xiang said, it is logically possible, and it has indeed happened in history. But the minister didn't believe it. ”

Jiajing glanced at Lu Bing, in the past few years, Lu Bing has rarely denied a thing so arbitrarily. As a spy leader, the nature of intelligence work has always made him cautious in his words and deeds, adhering to the mentality that anything is possible.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Long live, before the minister explains, there is one more thing to report to Long Life, and after listening to it, Long Live may be even more suspicious of Xiao Feng."

"Oh? What's up? ”

"According to the two Jinyi guards, Altan Khan also had a man surnamed Xiao with a very high status, and the Tatars called him Mr. Xiao.

Middle-aged, with excellent demeanor, the specific age is difficult to see. It was he who made a bet with Xiao Feng to let Xiao Feng kneel down in exchange for the lives of his own soldiers. ”

Jiajing's eyes widened suddenly, there is also a surname Xiao among the Tatars? And this surnamed Xiao did not kill Xiao Feng, but detained him. In this way, it seems that Yan Song's inference has gone further!

"Since there is such a doubt, why do you still insist on not believing Yan Song's inference?"

"Long live, since Xiao Feng was nine years old, Xiao Wannian resigned and lost his position, and his whole family was under the protection of Jinyiwei. At the same time, it also plays the role of surveillance.

In the past eight years, whether it is Xiao Wannian or Xiao Feng, including the two women, they have never been in contact with suspicious people. If Xiao Feng became a Tatar internal response, it must not be a matter of overnight, and at least a few secret contacts were required.

If Xiao Feng is really under the supervision of Jinyiwei, and can still become the internal response of the Tatars, then the minister should be the first to apologize for his crimes! ”

Jiajing's face softened slightly, and he nodded slowly in approval.

"Since Xiao Feng woke up from a coma, he said that he met an immortal in a dream, and the Tao was in a daze, and since then, he has been in constant friction with the Yan family, and the Jinyi guard has been more strict with his family.

Until this time he led the army, he did not break the brocade guard by his side. These brocade guards are all trained by the minister himself, and they will be replaced every once in a while.

Unless he can buy every brocade guard around him, he can't do things secretly without anyone knowing. But if he can really buy every Jinyi guard around him, then he will rebel, and there is no need to cooperate with the Tatars. ”

The last sentence was not only arrogant, but also extremely risky, but Jiajing nodded appreciatively, and seemed to be very useful to Lu Bing's wild words.

"Yes, if he has the ability to buy so many brocade guards, then you should indeed apologize for your crimes, and I should abdicate to make way for Xian."

Seeing Huang Jin smiling and silent, Jiajing glanced at him dissatisfied.

"Can't you think of these yellow companions? Why don't you give me a warning? ”

Huang Jin hurriedly bent down and apologized: "How dare the old slave, long live the wise and wise, clear in the heart, why do the old slave have to say more." Previously, Banzai was just concerned about chaos, which shows that Banzai is deeply responsible for Xiao Gongzi's love in his heart. ”

Jiajing shook his head and expressed helplessness to this old slippery head who has been playing since he was a child.

"A Han Chinese, who has such a high position among the Tatars, does not know what the identity of this person is. The Mongols have always been strong in force, but they lack resourcefulness, and if there are Han people who are resourceful and resourceful, they can indeed be hated. ”

Lu Bing dared to report this, so naturally he did his homework.

"Hooray, the minister is not sure, but Shen Lian once said that Xiao Feng had tested Qiu Luan before, and calculated that the Tatars and the White Lotus Sect were colluding.

From this, the minister deduced that this person should be a high-ranking figure in the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect has been fighting with my Da Ming for many years, and the undercurrent is surging, and the Jinyi Guard has never relaxed his investigation.

Since the time of Taizu, the White Lotus Sect has repeatedly attacked and fallen apart, and its leader has long been in name only, and the real power is in the hands of the so-called holy envoy.

Among the several holy envoys of the White Lotus Sect, the one who is actually in power is surnamed Xiao. This person has not been heard from for many years, and the minister deduces that the Mr. Xiao in the Tatar soldiers should be him! ”

Jiajing nodded: "Yan Song's words are right, those who have Taoism may not be good people." But Xiao Feng is responsible for the Dao Law, but he does not abuse it, and what he has done in the past year is obvious to all in the capital. ”

At this he suddenly laughed, as if remembering something funny, and shook his head as he laughed. Huang Jin and Lu Bing glanced at each other, not understanding where Jiajing's smile came from when the matter was so heavy now.

"With one thing, I can conclude that Xiao Feng is not a traitor. Xiao Feng has no interest in power, I force him to do things every time, and he is very high-profile in the affairs of men and women.

Not only is his unique taste known all over the city, but he also cares about my harem. If he is a traitor, this traitor is inevitably too high-profile. ”

Lu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that although Jiajing was suspicious, he was also very conceited, and these words showed that he completely believed that Xiao Feng was fine, and at the same time affirmed Jinyiwei's loyalty and ability.

Jinyiwei's loyalty is more important than ability, their loyalty is fed by flowing silver, and it is guaranteed by the net worth and life of the nine clans, and their loyalty to the emperor is by no means comparable to any official.

But the price is that once the emperor doesn't trust them, they will only have a dead end, and there is no middle way to choose, including Lu Bing.

"Since both of them are in the reinforcements, they should naturally know the truth about killing good people and taking risks."

"Yes, it was done by the Tatars in the guise of our cavalry. Xiao Feng told Qi Jiguang that there were almost no old people at the scene of the massacre, indicating that they deliberately let those old people go. ”

"Why is that?"

"The old man is dazzled and deaf, and he knows less about what is going on outside. Those mountain villages are inaccessible, and people rarely go out of the mountains when they are old.

Young people will often go to Miyun City and other places, and they are more familiar with the military uniforms and flags of the Ming Dynasty, but the old people may not be so familiar. The Tatars are in a hurry, and they will certainly not be able to do it perfectly, and the young people may see the flaws.

But the old people were dizzy, the whole family was slaughtered again, and in the panic, it was difficult to notice those details, and they would only think that the Ming cavalry wanted to kill the good and risky merits.

This plan is extremely vicious, and it is not the mind of the Tatars, but most likely the handiwork of the holy envoy. If it weren't for the wisdom of Long Live and let Shuntianfu and Dali Temple temporarily suppress the trial, I was afraid that Qi Jiguang and they would have to be called back to ask for guilt regardless of whether they won or lost.

In order to prove their innocence, they must rush back to the capital, so that their course of action becomes very predictable, and there is a high possibility that they will be wiped out. ”

Indeed, if there is a holy decree that summons them back to Beijing to confront them, if they do not return, they will be resisting the decree, and if they want to come back, they will not be able to attack the enemy in the direction of Gubeikou as they did later.

Huang Jin thought of the tragic scene of Tu Village, and couldn't help but feel sorry for it, and said softly: "Those old people are in their last years, this mountain is high and the road is far away, and the Tatars are not afraid that they will die on the way, in vain?" ”

Lu Bing smiled bitterly: "Xiao Feng also said this, he said that the Tatars must also have this concern, so instead of letting one person go from each village, he let all the old people go."

In this way, even if a few die on the road, there will always be someone who can rush to the capital. It is precisely this point that makes their scheming exposed. ”

Huang Jin suddenly realized, indeed, if it were to be more realistic, it would be more realistic for a village to deliberately omit an old man, they let go of so many old people for insurance, but it made Xiao Feng see the purpose.

Jiajing was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Since Xiao Feng saw that this was a poisonous plan by the Tatars to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, why didn't he hurry back, it should still be too late at that time."

He returned to the capital, and with his eloquence, the matter was made clear in a few words. He is not in the capital, and it is inevitable that the three of them will become tigers. He specially reminded me of this before he set out. ”

Lu Bing was silent for a moment, and his mood was also a little excited, Jiajing and Huang Jin both looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Long live, Xiao Feng saw the tragic situation of Tu Village and vomited blood on the spot.

He said to the whole army, the Ming cavalry, should protect the people of the Ming Dynasty, the real people of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty should protect the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty. Do your duty, and die without a twist.

The whole army was furious and willing to fight to the death with the Tatars. I don't know who took the lead in shouting 'Great Tomorrow Division', and the whole army shouted in unison, and the sound shook the valley. ”

Jiajing stood up, his gaze piercing the endless darkness over Xiyuan and the stars in the distant night sky.

"Great Tomorrow Master, Great Tomorrow Master, good, good, good!"

Some people died, but not completely......
