Chapter 245: Gregory refuses to come to the rescue

Geleg Langga and Taihao welcomed Shang Jieyun to the front hall, and Geleg Langa continued to ask in a humble tone: "General, last night we arrested all the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Gate, they did evil in some cities, and even killed the Tibetan magistrate Tsering Bianba......

Shang Jieyunzan asked solemnly, "Have you found evidence?" ”

Tai Hao replied calmly: "I once interrogated a member of their Crazy Shadow Gate, who had been disguised as an envoy of the Eastern Empire in the Tubo Kingdom to bribe and seize power in the city of Luo, and he confessed that they had killed the chief of Tsering Bianpa. ”

Shang Jieyun praised: "I came this time to be ordered by Lord Zuren Xide to rescue the twenty warriors from the Nanzhao Kingdom who were mistakenly arrested by you, they are definitely not disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect, you must have caught the wrong one." ”

Geleg Langa asked suspiciously, "General, last night we captured a total of more than forty disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect and examined their identities one by one, and they all admitted that they were members of the Crazy Shadow Sect. How could there be twenty warriors from the Nanzhao Kingdom? ”

Shang Jieyun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Could it be that you used torture to extract confessions from them? ”

Geleg Langa replied vaguely: "Uh...... In Tibet, for those criminals who are tight-lipped, we take some appropriate corporal punishment ...... Rightfully so. ”

Shang Jieyun praised with emotion: "Therefore, if you treat them with corporal punishment, they will inevitably weave lies to you. Lord Zuren Xide had specifically instructed me to ensure the safety of the people of Nanzhao. It would be inappropriate for you to use corporal punishment on them before we could find out whether they were disciples of the Shadow Sect. ”

Taihao's voice was like a gust of wind, gently rippling in the air. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he had understood Gleefon's decision.

"General Shang Jie, I am convinced that Glee will not catch the innocent by mistake." There was a hint of firmness in Taihao's voice, as if he was full of trust in Gredomain's judgment.

"Maybe some of these warriors who were wrongly arrested were originally the people of Nanzhao Kingdom, but they chose to join the Crazy Shadow Gate, which is also a possibility." There was a hint of thought in Tai Hao's voice, as if he was thinking about this complicated situation.

"However, I can't help but ask General Shang Jie, why did Lord Zuren Xide care so much about the people of Nanzhao Kingdom, but turned a deaf ear to the killing of the officers and soldiers of the Tubo Kingdom?" There was a hint of doubt in Tai Hao's voice, as if he was confused by Lord Zuren's attitude.

Shang Jieyun praised: "Lord Taihao, why are you so disrespectful to Lord Zuren Xide? As the prime minister of the Tubo Dynasty, Lord Zuren Xide became acquainted with the magnates of various surrounding countries, and now it is natural for the envoy of the Nanzhao State to entrust Lord Zuren Xide to rescue the people of his own country. As for the officers and soldiers of our Tubo Kingdom who were killed by the Crazy Shadow Gate, Lord Zuren Xide has already asked about it, but this matter will not bother Lord Taihao to point out. ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao nodded slightly, and said affectionately: "Thank you General Shang Jie for reminding me that I have not had the honor to meet Lord Zuren Xide since I came to Luo Qi City. If I had the chance, I would have visited him myself. ”

Shang Jieyun praised: "Although Lord Zuren Xide has not met Lord Taihao this time, he has always praised Lord Taihao, she said that Lord Taihao is young and promising, and when Lord Taihao first came to Luo City many years ago, Lord Zuren Xide also saw Lord Taihao. ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly and responded, "Really? Why I don't remember anything about it. ”

Shang Jieyun exclaimed, "At that time, Lord Zuren Xide had already stepped down from all his duties, and he should have met you at that grand dinner. ”

Taihao suddenly realized and said, "I see! ”

Shang Jieyun changed his words, returned to the captured warriors, and asked, "Regarding those people of Nanzhao Kingdom, can you release them now?" ”

Geleg Langa pondered for a moment, and then slowly responded: "Perhaps, in this way, the general can go to the prison with me and personally interrogate those people of the Nanzhao Kingdom. If they are indeed identified, the general can take them away. ”

Shang Jieyun exclaimed, "Langga, were you only twenty years old when you followed me? ”

Geleg Langa replied, "I was twenty-three years old at that time. ”

Shang Jieyun said with emotion: "Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, you have become the domain capital of some cities. Now, I'm here to do something with you, and I'm still asking you to do it. ”

Geleg Langa smiled slightly and said, "The general is really good at joking, but this matter is very important, and I can't take it upon myself to release them." This is what Princess Diaotang personally handed over to me and Lord Taihao to deal with. If you really want to release these twenty people, you can only wait for Princess Diaotang to make a decision. ”

Shang Jieyun couldn't help but pat the table in admiration, but he didn't say anything and left directly.

Geleg Langa stared at Shang Jieyun's distant back, and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart. He shouted, "General, please don't blame me!" I can't help myself! ”

Shang Jieyunzan had just left, Ju Jiang suddenly stepped into the yamen, and he whispered to Tai Hao: "Lord Taihao, we searched around the streets of Luo Qi City, but we could not find any trace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, in a deep alley, we found the body of the servant girl who had gone out with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Tai Hao's face suddenly turned pale, and a sense of foreboding swelled in his heart. He immediately ordered: "Continue the search in the city of Logos, and the matter must be kept secret so as not to cause panic." ”

Ju Jiang nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes!" He understood the importance of this order, and they had to find the prince as soon as possible, while also ensuring that the news did not cause unnecessary confusion and panic. They know that this is a serious challenge, but they also understand that it is their responsibility and mission.

After Ju Jiang left in a hurry, Geleg Langga asked Taihao, "Lord Taihao, what happened?" ”

Tai Hao weighed whether or not to disclose this news, and after a moment of thought, said, "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Empire may be in danger. ”

Geleg Langa exclaimed, "What? How so, and what danger did he encounter? ”

Tai Hao was worried: "I haven't learned yet, I'm worried that he may have been captured by the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect." ”

Geleg Langa asked, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Don't use it for the time being, my subordinates are trying their best to find it, I hope His Royal Highness Tai Hao is safe." ”

Tai Hao was also about to leave, and before leaving, he wanted to go to the backyard of the yamen to meet Hua Ru.

Under the guidance of Geleg Langga, Taihao stepped into the backyard, and he was greeted by dozens of officers and soldiers. He walked into the room where Slippery was resting, and saw Slippery sitting at the table, reading a book intently.

Taihao politely bowed his hand and greeted: "Lord Slippery, are you okay?" ”

Slippery Ru gently closed the book in his hand, his eyes were full of wisdom and humility, he looked up at Taihao in front of him, his tone was full of curiosity and doubt, "Are you?" ”

Taihao, those deep eyes precipitated with determination and perseverance, he introduced himself steadily, "Under Taihao!" ”

Slippery's body suddenly trembled with excitement, he stood up, his eyes flashed with admiration and gratitude, his voice was full of enthusiasm and admiration, "You are Lord Taihao, I heard that you saved me, thank you!" ”

As he spoke, Slippery fell to his knees without hesitation, and he lowered his head to express his deep gratitude to Tai Hao. His forehead pressed against the cold floor, and his devotion and gratitude were palpable.

Taihao hurriedly stepped forward, and he stretched out his hand and helped Huaru up. His tone was full of concern and promise, "Lord Slippery, you have suffered, and we will catch all the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect in Luo Qi City." His eyes were firm and determined, full of confidence and determination for the future.

In the midst of the tranquility, Huaru replied to Taihao gratefully, "Lord Taihao, thank you so much!" ”

Tai Hao's face showed a hint of concern, and he asked in a deep voice, "Lord Slippery, where have you been imprisoned by them for so many years?" ”

Slippery lowered his head slightly, his gaze seemed to recall the dark days of the past.

"In a cave, a meal was delivered at regular times a day, but there were always about twenty men by my side, day and night. Until two days ago, they left suddenly, probably sensing something. I took the opportunity to find a way out, but my strength was so exhausted that I fell unconscious after climbing out of the cave. ”

After Taihao listened, his brows tightened, and he knew in his heart that there must be something strange behind this. For many years, the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect had been watching Slippery Ru all the time, why did they all leave all of a sudden? Did they learn that the Tibetan officers and soldiers had begun to arrest them? Perhaps this is the case, and there is no other plausible explanation.

Possibilities quickly popped up in Taihao's mind. Perhaps the disciples of the Shadow Gate had already smelled the wind and realized that their actions had been exposed, so they decided to temporarily evacuate to avoid pursuit. Or they received orders from their superiors and were forced to interrupt their surveillance mission on Slippery. In either case, it shows that the Shadow Gate has sensed the actions of the Tibetan officers and soldiers and has responded accordingly.

Tai Hao asked, "Did those disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect say anything before they all left?" ”

Huaru pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "They didn't say anything to me, but occasionally when I listened to their conversations, I seemed to hear them mention Wuzi Mountain. But that very night, they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Tai Hao frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice: "They still dare to say where they are going in front of you?" ”

Huaru smiled slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Maybe they think I don't understand, because they said it in Nanzhao." ”

"Nanzhao?" Tai Hao asked in surprise, "Could it be that they are really the people of Nanzhao Kingdom?" It seems that what Shang Jieyun said is true. ”

Geleg Langga said: "Lord Taihao, I know very well that what General Shang Jieyunzan said is true, and I know that there are indeed people of Nanzhao Kingdom, but even if they are the people of Nanzhao Kingdom, what does it matter? They are also disciples of the Shadow Gate! ”
