"General Qin's whereabouts are unknown."

This news made Qin Chuan sit alone until dawn.

Before the sun rose, the army received another secret letter that four cities had been breached in front of them.

The cavalry of the Northern Jin Dynasty was overwhelming, and Great Xia was not vulnerable at all.

"Your Majesty?"

Gao Liuyue took the cloak and came over: "It's cold in the morning. ”

"It's fine."

Lu Yue sat beside him and comforted: "Your Majesty, since things are difficult to decide, why don't you let Concubine Xue go to the helm of the army, didn't you say that she is a heroine." ”

In this battle, the defeat was not in the commander of the army, but in the people who were secretly restraining him.

With Qin Chuanfei's talent, he can do it, but he can't stand being stabbed in the back.

From the border to the capital, in addition to the defeat or defeat, Yao Cheng's news could not be transmitted, so it can be seen that the news of being able to go to the capital was all deliberately let by Zhou Dewei let the capital know.

He ambushed many people on the way, obstructing Yao Cheng's communication with the imperial court.

Now, no one can solve the urgent situation at the border pass, and only when Qin Chuan goes in person can things be alleviated.

And as soon as he left, the capital became Zhou Dewei's world, and it was unknown who killed the deer.

"Your Majesty, are you going to court today?"

"No, the people in the court can't say why, by the way, did Concubine Xue return to the palace last night?"

"Nope."

It wasn't until noon that Yang Qianxue returned to the palace, she went to verify one thing.

Now that I have news, I should come back and tell my husband.

The internal guards led by Yang Qianxue had already lurked to Zhou Dewei's side, and the other side sent information that there was a strange Southern Zhou man in Zhou Dewei's mansion, and he had just killed his eldest son Zhou Rang.

Qianxue gulped down water: "My mother, I'm dying of thirst, and I haven't rested all night in order to find out the news." ”

According to the report, Zhou Dewei was not a citizen of Great Xia, and his real identity was a native of Southern Zhou.

The visitor to the house was the secret messenger of the Southern Zhou, because his conversation with Zhou Dewei was accidentally overheard by Zhou, so Zhou Dewei had no choice but to kill his son.

This is a ruthless man, and he doesn't even let go of his own son.

Qin Chuan's head was dizzy: "How did he become a ...... What Southern Zhou people, how can this be? He has been hiding in Great Xia for decades, this old guy, the fox's tail is hidden deep enough. ”

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Now with this news, it will be easier to discuss the next step and relieve the border crisis.

In particular, if Qin Chuan wants to drive the expedition in person, he can't let Zhou Dewei do things, and someone has to contain him.

Yang Qianxue: "I have a plan, to trick that messenger out, coerce him to do things for us, feed him poison, and don't listen...... and abolished him. ”

"It's a way, he is hiding in Zhou Dewei's house, how can he come out easily."

"Zhou Dewei is going to give his son a funeral, and three days later will be an opportunity, his son died of poisoning, and it is impossible to leave it at home for too long."

"Well, you're still clever."

Zhou Dewei is a spy, and many things that he can't figure out can now be explained.

is a high authority, empties the treasury, and keeps the money for himself and does not spend it, in order to provide it to Nan Zhou, this guy's patience and camouflage can be called the best.

Zhou Rang died, and Qin Chuan should have come to visit.

You should always give the old minister a little face.

He came with Yang Qianxue, this is also particular, there is a new mourning in the courtier's family, and the emperor can't come to the queen, only one of the two can come, otherwise the deceased can't afford it.

"Duke Zhou, I heard that Ling Lang died, and I came to visit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the dogs, and for the supply of Your Majesty."

Qin Chuan symbolically supported him: "You are the minister of Great Xia, Ling Lang died, I should come to visit." ”

"Oh, please inside the emperor."

Zhou Rang was already lying in the coffin, his face was blue and black, apparently poisoned to death.

Qin Chuan was not polite, and immediately said: "Who poisoned Zhou Rang?" Find the murderer, I'm going to kill him, this dog mongrel, bullshit is not, pigs and dogs are not as good, how dare you poison the prime minister's son. ”

"The emperor, the poisoner, and the minister are also being investigated, but there is no result yet."

"Alas...... I gave you this new house, but I haven't come to see it myself, so why don't you take me around? ”

The two of them wandered around the house, but they didn't go to the backyard, there were people hiding there, how dare Zhou Dewei be discovered.

Yang Qianxue: "Xiangye, why don't you go to see the backyard?" I love the scenery in the backyard, and I want to see every house I visit. ”

"This ...... Xue Fei Niangniang forgive me, there are a few house slaves in the backyard who are sick, and they are contagious, no matter what the minister says, he can't let the emperor and Niangniang go, this is a big disrespect, ask Niangniang for forgiveness. ”

Passing by a courtyard, Qin Chuan suddenly said, "Duke Zhou, the strongest vassal state near our Great Xia Kingdom should be Southern Zhou." ”

Zhou Dewei was still pretending to be confused: "Southern Zhou? The Southern Zhou Dynasty is only a small country, and it is only worthy of a state capital of our dynasty, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Really? But how did I hear that in the past ten years, the Southern Zhou Dynasty has developed rapidly, the national strength is strong, and now the city is tall and strong, and they have also trained hundreds of thousands of elites, which have been harassing the border of our Great Xia. ”

"This ...... The minister is not in the military department, so he doesn't know much about it. ”

"Tomorrow, Ling Lang should be buried, I will send someone to escort him."

"Minister—thank you again for Your Majesty's grace!"

Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, the funeral procession left the city.

There were not a few people left in the mansion, and Qin Chuan arranged for people from six doors to enter through the back door to control the envoy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

In order not to let Zhou Dewei find out, there is no need to interrogate in other places.

"What are you going to do? I'm a friend of Zhou Gong, you guys are so bold! ”

Qin Chuan: "What's your name?" ”

"I ...... What's the matter with you? ”

"Don't say? Come, set him up. ”

Two people with six doors set it up on a chair, and the pants were directly ripped off, anyway, there are no women here, they are all big men, so there is no need to be shy.

"Y-what are you doing?!"

Qin Chuan held the knife indifferently: "You have to know the rules of the game, now I am here to ask, you are to answer, and no extra words are allowed to come out, otherwise, you will be castrated, understand?" ”

"You guys! Daring! ”

If you don't cooperate with this, then do it and cut it.

"Huh?! Don't don't...... If you have something to say, you have something to say! ”

Qin Chuan: "Then are you willing to cooperate now?" I ask, you answer. ”

"Okay."

"Pretty, it's good for you. What is your name? ”

"I ...... My name is Zhang San. ”

What a discordant name.

"I'm still Li Si, castrate him! Hard cut! Die to death! ”
