Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 286 Who is the murderer

Is the beggar Khan dead? Li Dan and Wu Mao looked at each other in unison. "Xuanping, who did you listen to?" Li Dan also became nervous: "This is not a trivial matter, if he dies, then His Majesty's arrangement will be messed up!"

"I heard it by the Eryi Gate, when there was a small official holding a document and talking to an official, who was wearing a green robe, and should be the head of a certain department.

I heard the official tell him to go into the house and talk about it, but the people behind him didn't dare to look at it more, and they didn't dare to observe it anymore, so I don't know where they went." Yao Huang was obviously a little nervous, he didn't expect that he had only been watching politics for a few days and encountered such a big thing, and his voice trembled slightly.

Wu Mao took a step forward and said softly, "Childe, everything else is secondary, Cullen ...... there." This reminder is to tell Li Dan that the beggar Khan is dead, and Kulun is the heir, and he can't have anything to do anymore!

Li Dan's eyes flashed and called Brother Mao in: "Let the thin King Kong come to see me immediately!"

Wu Mao nodded: "Regardless of whether this news is true or not, let's protect people first." If the Urabe is in chaos, then half of the layout of the steppe will collapse!"

"Sir, who would have done this? Ulla's own people, the Hui Fa Ministry, or some ignorant side general?" Li Dan asked ponderingly.

"Shouldn't you?" Yao Huanghu doubted: "The emperor has already issued a clear edict prohibiting the border generals from provoking the Monan tribes. Will anyone go crazy and resist the decree?"

"Ulab's own people probably won't." Wu Mao shook his head: "The beggar Khan has already sent someone back to the grassland to report the news, and they know that he has been given by His Majesty, and it is recognized that he is the leader of the entire Monan, so there is no need to do more."

"yes, that's not good for themselves!" Li Dan agreed, asking, "What about Huifa?"

"It's not possible, or it's incredibly unlikely." Wu Mao said, "Huifa is the least powerful department in Monan, so why should it provoke Ula if it has nothing to do?

What's more, there are also envoys sent by His Majesty in this team, these people are all dead, not only offended Ula but also offended His Majesty, would Huifa do such a thing?"

"I want to remind everyone," Wen He*** came, "First of all, the people who do this must dare to offend Ulla and His Majesty, secondly, they must know exactly when and where the Beggars Khan is camping, and finally, they must have considerable force to face the Beggars Khan's guards!"

This is not something that ordinary robbers and robbers on the grassland can do!"

Li Dan glanced at him appreciatively: "Zishan is right!" At this time, Zhang Cheng walked in, still holding an envelope in his hand, watched everyone sing a song, and handed the letter first: "My brother just sent it."

Li Dan took it knowingly and put it in his sleeve, and then said to him, "Cullen, do you remember?"

"Which Egu prince?"

"Yes! We're worried about someone working against him right now, so we want to send you to protect it." Li Dan said: "These people may not only harm him, but also splash sewage on the imperial court."

"Got it!" Zhang Cymbal nodded heavily.

"You take Wang Gangzi, Tu Shan, and Tao Shou with you, don't tell him the truth yet, just say that you will go to him to drink wine and eat meat, and then you must be with him tonight. Got it?"

"Understood!" Zhang Cymbal arched his hand and turned to leave.

Li Dan continued, "Unless it is the Kaer, how can they ambush an elite army? And the border generals and Huifa people didn't even find out!"

"Let's just say that this team is so small that it's hard to be noticed. It may also be at the junction of the two divisions of Ula and Huifa, so ...... It's like the three boundaries of the Han land." Wu Mao pondered and said:

"In short, I think this team is likely to be only about 300 people, and they are all veterans of the battlefield, so they can give the other side a surprise blow in the night. The beggars of the Khan were attacked in their dreams and lost their leader, so they quickly perished."

"They are the only ones who are not afraid of the Urabu, and dare to challenge Your Majesty, and have elite soldiers who can fight on expeditions." Li Dan nodded: "This trick is done ruthlessly and beautifully, and it is easy to cause contradictions between us and Ulla and Huifa.

Stir up this pool, they are fishing in troubled waters!" He sneered after he finished speaking. At this time, he muttered in his heart, if it was really the work of the Kaers

, did Xiangyu deliberately hide it or didn't know it?

If it's the latter, is she exposed, or does the other party actually don't trust it at all? Thinking of this, Li Dan frowned, but it was not good to leave everyone behind, and immediately got up and went back to the back to interrogate.

Among the three people in this room, Wu Mao guessed a few points when he looked at him, and the other two were restless when he was worried about this important matter, and when they were still discussing, they suddenly saw Brother Mao turn back and bowed and said:

"Childe, someone from the Ministry of War has arrived, saying that Lord Cai asks you to come to the public office as soon as possible."

"Got it, invite him to watch tea in the room, and I'll go with him after changing clothes." Li Dan replied, Wu Mao watched from the sidelines, and felt that his gestures became more and more calm and majestic after being ordained, and he stroked his beard on his cheeks with satisfaction and nodded slightly.

At this time, Li Dan turned to the two and said, "How did Brother Yao Xian come out? Since you are from the military headquarters, it is inconvenient for you to sit here with Mr. Wu, and you will leave after I leave."

Seeing that he was compassionate, Yao Huang hurriedly got up and thanked him, and replied, "I took leave when I got the news, and I met Brother Zishan (Wen He) halfway in a hurry.

Everyone in the military department knows that Brother Zedong is a staunch main battle faction, and he has participated in military meetings many times, and Brother Zishan heard that you have a very good relationship with the father and son of the beggar Khan, so we came together after discussion."

After speaking, he suddenly said, "Brother Zedong, my brother still has a reluctant request."

Li Dan was moved by his affection for sending the news, and hugged his fists and said, "As long as you can do it for your brother, it is incumbent!"

Yao Huang looked at Wen He and said loudly, "Brother and Brother Zishan both want to make contributions, Brother Zedong goes to Liao, can you take me and the two of you with you?"

"The bitter cold of Liaodi, ...... you?"

"We're not afraid!" Wen He took a step forward: "Since ancient times, those famous generals in Linan have been, and besides, you are not afraid from Jiangxi, what are we afraid of?"

Li Dan was overjoyed: "It would be great if you could get the help of the two gentlemen! I'm going to think of a way, and I'm going to wait for my good news."

After saying goodbye, he turned and came to the back. Xiangyu and Tao Niang had already gotten up to freshen up, and were holding hands and whispering, when they saw Li Danxiong coming back, they blushed a little when they remembered the scene of messing around earlier.

It's just that Xiangyu lowered her head, and Tao Niang smiled and threw a wink.

"It's not early, isn't it time for Xiangyu to go back? I'm going out, let's go?" Li Dan looked at Xiangyu.

Xiangyu was stunned, and immediately understood that Li Dan probably had something to say to herself, so she got up and said goodbye to Tao Niang. Tao Niang reluctantly sent her outside the hospital, and saw that Mao Zai was already waiting with leather armor.

Li Dan glanced at Brother Mao, who nodded and ran out first. To the outer sandwich road, Lu Jiu's car is in front, and Xiangyu's car is behind. Li Dan helped Xiangyu to get into the car first, said to wait a while, and came to the side of the car next to Lu Jiu: "It's all clear?"

"Clear, don't worry, Childe!"

"Okay, you go first."

Lu Jiu nodded, pulled up the brakes, and shook the reins to urge the horse forward. Coming to the front, the people from the military department rode a strong mule in front to open the way, and then Lu Jiu drove the carriage, and Mao Zai followed the guards on horseback.

Li Dan turned around and came back, whispered something to the coachman, and then jumped into Xiangyu's car, and nodded after meditating in his heart for thirty breaths.

Xiangyu stretched out her hand and pulled the silk silk beside her, and the bell above the coachman's head outside rang "ding". The carriage moved forward, exited the slowly opening gate, and headed south along Jingzhao Street in the opposite direction.

"Lang Jun has something to say, please say." Xiangyu already felt that Li Dan had something to say, and said softly.

"Do you know the date of the departure of the beggar Khan and the course of his movements?" Li Dan asked.

Xiangyu was slightly stunned: "Slave...... Of course I do."

"Can you tell me who told you?"

"Yes...... Master Zheng, Zheng Shangshu."

"Zheng Shou?" Li Dan nodded: "Sure enough, it's him!" So did you pass on the news?"

Xiangyu was stunned again: "The slave is not responsible for delivering the news, but tells the news to his subordinates. This time, because Marou is here, I'll tell him directly."

"Which one is Marou?" Li Dan was strange, he had never heard of this person.

"Zhenlang's original surname is Ye, and his father is also Han

People, great-ancestor is one of the three marquis of Datong Mansion, and followed the army to withdraw to Monan and became the commander of the Han army after attaching to Hui Fa Khan.

His father was a thousand households, and he was born in the same year that he was killed in the war with Urabe, but his mother died in childbirth. The Ka's people went south to plunder, and he became the eunuch of the Khan.

This time, for some reason, Bi Khan actually sent him to Shangjing to deliver a message to me, and he stayed in Beijing for many days before leaving."

Li Dan interrupted Xiangyu when he heard this: "Do you remember when he left?"

"We haven't seen him since I told him that the beggar Khan was leaving Beijing, and I think he must have left after that." Xiangyu suddenly sighed in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What, is he tracking down the beggar Khan?"

"It's worse than that!" Li Dan frowned and told her the news of the attack on the beggar Khan's team:

"The emperor originally planned to let the beggar Khan contact Huifa and your father and brother, but now that he is dead, the plan on the western front has failed, and I am afraid that your father and brother will not be able to get out and return for the time being, so I have to see the opportunity later." As he spoke, pay attention to Xiangyu's reaction.

"I don't know when he left, and I'm not even sure if he left." Knowing that Li Dan was suspicious of herself, Xiangyu's face turned a little pale, and she hurriedly said:

"He once said that if I was in a hurry to find him, I would go to the inn in the alley of the North Drum Tower, and pay attention to whether there was a pot of caryophyllus outside the third window on the east side. If the flower is in the capital division, you can enter it through the door. Otherwise, he has already left the capital and doesn't need to look for it anymore."

Hey, this guy is pretty clever! Li Dan cursed in his heart. Then he asked, "Have you heard him tell me how he came to the Central Plains, what route he took, and how many guards he brought with him?"

"That's what I did." Xiangyu's face was slightly feverish, because it was a whisper on the bed, but it was not good to say this to Li Dan, so she had to say vaguely:

"He boasted that the Great Khan had given him the best guide and two hundred and sixty veterans of the Chexue (Guards), and they walked around it without the men of Huifa and Ulla noticing, and walked for a month before they crossed Phongju to the border wall, and spent two ingots of gold to enter the mouth of the white sheep.

However, only four people were let in, and the rest were left in the meadows of Jininghai to wait." After Xiangyu finished speaking, she suddenly understood the trick here: "Is Li Lang suspicious that he used this team to attack and kill the beggar Khan?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Li Dan asked rhetorically.

"Xiangyu doesn't know." She was stared at by Li Dan, and she felt that her back was all wet, which was even worse than when she was messing around just now! "He's a true man, he's a true and loyal to the Great Khan."

"He is also a Han Chinese, has he never been involved in or understood the affairs of the Han army?"

"His father is Han, but his mother is Semu." Xiangyu shook her head, anxious to justify: "He grew up beside the Great Khan, and he ...... He and the Great Khan have been in bed with the same ...... since childhood. How dare I tell him these things?"

"I see, he's different from you." Li Dan nodded and glanced at the street outside: "Do you have feelings for him?"

Xiangyu blushed and hung her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes.

"What will you do if ...... is loyal to the Great Khan, but he obstructs your father and brother's way home?" Li Dan further asked:

"What would you do if he helped the Khan of Kerda to become the overlord of the steppe, and wanted to conquer the Han lands of Hebei, Beiping, Shuntian, Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Datong, expel officials, kill civilians, and welcome the ancient people back to Yanjing?"

"I ......, I treated him like a brother."

"More than that, right?" Li Dan sneered: "So what about now and in the future? You still treat him like a brother, abandon his father and brother, and let them die in the desert wilderness, is that so?"

Xiangyu finally raised her red eyes: "The slave knows what to do."

"What are you going to do?"

"The slave will cut him in two, and if we see him again, give him to Saburo!"

Li Dan looked at her for a moment: "Wrong. I want you to continue to treat him as you have done before, to tell him what we want him to know, to learn from him what we want to know. Can you do it?" Xiangyu nodded, and Li Dan continued:

"Although the Tao is different, we need you to do it for the time being. Whether it's for the country or for the family, I hope you can forbear for the time being, can you do it?" Xiangyu nodded again, Li Dan smiled, and opened his hands

Arm:

"Come here!" Then he hugged Xiangyu who got into his arms tightly and whispered, "I don't want you to be wronged, but for the time being, you still have to be wronged.

Now that Kerr's major armies are pressing, we won't get what we want if he wins, so we have to try to defeat Khan!

In the world, there is a loss in order to gain, let's endure it now, and the future gains can be sweet. Don't cry, think about the future, grit your teeth and survive this paragraph! Fortunately, I'm not far from you."

Let Xiangyu lie on her shoulder and cry for a while, Li Dan told her not to run to the Raozhou Hall in person when she was away.

"If you have something, you go to the four seas of Yinmen Road and find a guy surnamed Shu to contact." Li Dan told her, "Let's go and confirm whether the pot of caryophyllus is still there today, this is the most important!"

The carriage turned a corner and walked up to Qingfeng West Road, seeing that it was not far from Chenghou Bridge, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down, the car door opened, and Li Dan got off in a flash. The carriage turned north into Willow Lane Street.

Li Dan covered himself with the hood of his cloak, walked across the bridge to the intersection of Jianye South Street, and saw the military officials who were guiding him in front of him from a distance.

He quickened his pace and nodded to Mao Zai, opened the car door when the carriage turned and slowed down, and dodged in. Lu Jiu shouted casually: "Don't panic, don't panic, turn slowly, okay children, go on!" Drive!"

The office of the staff division is not in the east of Miyagi, but on the east bank of the lake on the north side of the Chengqing Gate, covering an area of not small.

The gate faces south, and a pair of Di Ting in front of the gate indicates the identity of the intelligence agency here, and the shadow wall is empty inside and outside, and there are four soldiers of the Imperial City Guard (4,700 men, responsible for the gates, passes, bridges, and guards of the conquest of the Imperial Palace) and a sentry general uniformed officer.

Cai Xing was looking in front of the door with a bitter face with his hands, and the other three directors of the staff department were whispering something behind him.

Seeing Li Dan get out of the carriage, Cai Ying hurriedly walked down the steps, followed by the principals. "How can Dan Hode work your lords? I really don't dare to do it!" Li Dan preempted the first salute.

"Eh, Lord Li is humble, there are very few officials like you in this court now, you can't afford it, so who else can't afford it?" Cai Xing's face was flattering, which made Li Dan immediately think of two words, "female cadre".

After being modest, Cai Xing and Li Dan walked forward into the public hall with their arms, and the eyes of the soldiers at the door widened.

Everyone greeted each other in the front hall, Cai Xing introduced three principals to Li Dan, namely Liu, Qin, and Pan, who were in charge of reconnaissance (counter-espionage), secretary (equipment) and documents.

Cai Xing couldn't wait to take out a document from his sleeve for Li Dan to see.

Li Dan knew that it was related to the beggar Khan, but he still read it seriously, and while returning it to Cai Xing, he scolded: "It's crazy! Do all these things like dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry? It can be seen how deep the hatred between the tribes of the steppe is!"

Then he looked at the people present and asked, "It's so appalling, and there are angels in death, I don't know how many seniors think it?" Everyone was stunned, and the three principals looked at Cai Xing, meaning that we didn't come to him to ask for ideas, why was he asked?
