Hearing him say this, Xu Youchang was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted suddenly: "The person you are talking about is ...... What is the Commander? ”

Li Jiangyao nodded: "Yes, my mentor, He Jingming, the Grand Protector of the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Protectorate and the Grand Commander of the Fierce Blade Legion." ”

Xie Tanzhi and Yudra also suddenly realized that He Jingming had ruled the ghost desert in Western Xinjiang for nearly 20 years, and for the people of Western Xinjiang, the name of He Daduhu was known to women and children.

I only heard Li Jiangyao continue: "In this world, I was originally a lonely and nameless ordinary person, if it weren't for the teacher's careful care, cultivation, and teaching him all his skills, let alone making contributions, it would be a question whether I could live well." Although I didn't spend a lot of time with my teacher, his ambition had a profound impact on me. ”

"It's not just you," Xu You sighed, "I grew up listening to the legend of Commander He since I was a child. He is the person I Xu Youchang admires the most, and he is also a well-deserved mainstay of Shengtang! ”

Li Jiangyao nodded silently and continued: "The teacher was poisoned by a traitor and died unjustly on the way to the front line in Western Xinjiang. 2. Protect the cherished world for the teacher. ”

Xie Tanzhi sighed with emotion: "I understand! Your Excellency, you fought alone, quelled the rebellion of the Western Xinjiang countries, eliminated the Turkic foreign enemies, and now commanded a large army to crusade against the rebellion. You're actually fulfilling your long-cherished wish for your teacher. ”

"Including forgiveness for those kings of the Western Frontier who rebelled," Yu Draa sighed, "With the mind and wisdom of He Daduhu, he must also hope to be able to resolve the enmity between the Western Frontier and the Shengtang, so that the people of all ethnic groups can live in harmony and eternal peace." ”

Xu Youchang continued: "There are also the two murderers who killed Commander He, Lao Jianhua and Li Jiong. It is necessary to make them pay with blood for you to bring us here. ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly: "In this process, I have always been puzzled about how to face the various practices of the emperor and the imperial court. It's one thing not to care about them, it's another thing to turn against them completely. Li Bing is protected by the Holy Covenant, and the founder and guardian of the covenant is my teacher. I forbear, not for Li Bing, but for the teacher. If the Holy Tang Imperial Court really reverses right and wrong, and is determined to take action against the Western Xinjiang Ghost Desert and the Zhenjiang Army, I will definitely fight back, otherwise, I must not let the teacher's spirit in the sky worry about this. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yudra: "Brothers, I am grateful to everyone from the bottom of my heart for avenging my anger. But doing so would also complicate counterinsurgency, and the culprit, Lao Jianhua, could continue to go unpunished. ”

Hearing this, Xu Youchang and Yudra's faces both showed shame. They didn't understand Li Jiangyao's hardships and thoughts before, and they kindly helped them.

Cheng Xi's killing will definitely cause an uproar. The royal family, the harem and the imperial court are absolutely unwilling to give up. Regardless of whether Lao Jianhua took advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, the emperor Li Bing and the empress Cheng Wen would hold Li Jiangyao and hold on to it, which would affect the advancement of the entire counterinsurgency war.

Perhaps, this is what Lao Jianhua wants to see the most.

Xie Tanzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "When you took in Lianji, was it also related to this?" ”

"You're right." Li Jiangyao nodded: "When Lian Ji came to Zijin Pass to look for me, I originally persuaded her to leave. However, she told me that Li Zhi, under the pseudonym Di Xian, served in the Xuanjia Army, and under the instruction and arrangement of Lao Jianhua, he led his troops to ambush Commander He. At that time, Lao Jianhua had found Lian Ji and asked her to be responsible for investigating the teacher's itinerary and guards, but Lian Ji refused, so she was forced to assassinate Cheng Kaiyang, the old country's official public. Therefore, she is the first witness. ”

Xu Youchang patted his leg and sighed, "You should have told me earlier." I misunderstood you before, thinking that you were greedy for Lian Ji's beauty, and you were dizzy like Murong Xue. ”

"Friend, how can I tell you?" Li Jiangyao sighed: "Your entire family has sacrificed their lives for the country, and the burden in your heart is a hundred times heavier than mine, if it weren't for today's words, I really can't bear to let you bear this pressure together." ”

Xie Tanzhi said in a deep voice: "My lord, we all know your difficulties. From now on, let's share it together. I won't go back to the Western Frontier for the time being, and I'll stay to help you deal with the troubles in the imperial capital. ”

Yudra also stood up: "Dadu Protector, Commander He is also the person I admire the most, to avenge his old man, I am willing to go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”

Li Jiangyao nodded gratefully, motioned for Yudra to sit down, and then said, "Old Xie, the affairs of Western Xinjiang must not be delayed. Hundreds of thousands of troops, people eat horses and chew, all rely on the support of the rear. If you go back one day earlier, I will rest assured one day earlier, Ma Mu, Situ Wushou, as well as the little prince and Effantia, are all waiting for you to preside over the overall situation. In terms of the imperial capital, with Yudra and Fenyang Princess Li Xi staring, it should be no problem. ”

Xu Youchang also agreed: "Dadu Hu is right. Lao Xie, your specialty is to govern the country in peace, not to fight to the death with those traitorous ministers, rather than wasting time on them, it is better to seek more benefits for the soldiers and the people. ”

Hearing the two of them say this, Xie Tanzhi no longer insisted, and instead asked, "My lord, if the queen's faction pursues this matter, how do you plan to deal with it?" ”

Li Jiangyao smiled calmly: "To tell you the truth, I don't have any ideas at all. Like you, I just learned that Cheng Xi was killed by us. ”

Xu Youchang couldn't help but blush: "Look at what you said." I know I'm in trouble, but don't hold on to it. ”

Li Jiangyao smiled and waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't mean to complain about you." If you're dead, you're dead, it's not a big deal. Cheng Xi fled quickly that night, otherwise he would have been slaughtered by me on the spot. ”

He turned his head and asked Yudra, "What is the reaction of the imperial capital?" ”

Yudra replied, "It's still in a state of chaos. In order to warn the enemy, the people of the Imperial Capital Branch let Cheng Xi die a miserable death, and also left the words 'crime deserved' at the scene. Therefore, whether it is the Three Law Divisions or the Forbidden Army, they are still speculating about where he has offended. ”

"The Three Law Divisions and the Forbidden Army are both outsiders, so they must be confused," Xie Tanzhi analyzed: "But for the real enemy, it must have been clear that our Zhenjiang Army has already been clear." Yudra, have you considered the security of the Imperial Capital Branch? ”

Yudra was slightly stunned: "Lord Xie, what do you mean...... Will they retaliate against the Intelligence Division? ”

Xie Tanzhi nodded: "That's inevitable." The main force of the Zhenjiang Army is far away here in the Jiangbei defense line, and it can kill Cheng Xi, only the Imperial Capital Branch of your Intelligence Division. Before, everyone had scruples about each other, so they were able to maintain a relatively calm situation, but now that we are ruthless, the other party can tear their faces. ”

Xu Youchang asked worriedly, "Is the Imperial Capital Branch deeply hidden?" ”

Yudra frowned: "The core personnel should be fine, but many commonly used strongholds and spies may have been under the surveillance of the Reverse Scale Division." If they make a sudden move, they may hurt many brothers. ”

Hearing this, Li Jiangyao immediately decided: "You immediately notify the imperial capital and let the people and horses on the periphery evacuate as soon as possible." Cheng Wen has become the queen, and she can already affect Tian Mu, plus Wei Zixuan is making trouble next to her, the Reverse Scale Division may really dare to come nonsense! ”

"Humble duty understands! Do it now! Yudra rose up and ran out in three steps and two steps.

After he left, Xie Tanzhi continued: "My lord, the imperial court should not have grasped the matter of Cheng Xi's sneak attack on you, and the emperor is probably not clear. Under this premise, how will they view Cheng Xi's death? I mean, if someone secretly reported to the emperor that our people killed Cheng Xi, how would the motive be explained? ”

Li Jiangyao thought very quickly, and asked rhetorically: "You want to say, how to make up the motive, right?" ”

Xie Tanzhi nodded: "Yes, it is more accurate to use the word made up." How will the enemy take advantage of Cheng Xi's killing to complicate the situation? ”

Xu You's sword eyebrows tightened, and he pondered: "It stands to reason that Cheng Xi has nothing to do with Jiang Yao and our Zhenjiang army, and he is not an important person himself, putting aside the secret sneak attack, there is really no reason to cut him." Because of this, the enemy has more room to play. In addition to targeting Jiang Yao and the Zhenjiang Army, it can even implicate others. ”

Xie Tanzhi stroked his beard: "Just a forged secret letter or evidence is enough to bring down General Murong or Lord Dong, or even Concubine Hui and Princess Fenyang." ”

His judgment is very reasonable, and the logic behind it is also very straightforward: Cheng Xi inadvertently discovered the secret evidence of some people's conspiracy to rebel, and in order to kill him, he was secretly killed by the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army.

And some of the so-called people can include Li Jiangyao, Murong Xue, Dong Tianxing, Murong Ling and Li Xi.

Regardless of whether Emperor Li Bing would believe it in the end, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will soon blossom and bear fruit. It is difficult to estimate what kind of fruit will be produced and how much impact it will have.

Li Jiangyao pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The fake can't be true, the real can't be fake, framed out of thin air, at most it will work for a while, but there will be a day when the truth will be revealed." So, I'm not too worried about someone making false accusations. In comparison, there was another thing that made me feel a little wrong. ”

Xu Youchang said curiously; "What's wrong?"

"It's still about military power." Li Jiangyao's sword eyebrows tightened: "Cheng Xi is now under the forbidden army, that is, the emperor's direct subordinate generals. His assassination could easily arouse Li Bing's vigilance and worry, and if someone suggested at this time that more reliable noble forces should return to the army and take control of the troops for the emperor, then the Shengtang military would inevitably usher in a drastic change. ”

"Wouldn't this be better for the rebels, you say?"
