Chapter 138: Clues

Ling He looked at Xie Zhao quietly and raised the doubts in his heart.

However, there are 36 tribes in Handyong, and it is said that there are still a few tribes in the Northern Dynasties who are scattered freely outside the Luoyi Pass because they do not fear the imperial power of Handyong.

How do we know which tribe of the people who infiltrated Zhaoge City to act secretly back then? ”

The way the Handyong Dynasty ruled the Northern Dynasty was completely different from that of the Southern Dynasty.

Although the Tianchen Dynasty had forty-eight counties, the boundaries south of the Ming River and north of the Wulan Mountains were all royal lands.

The imperial power of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty was relatively highly centralized.

The northern dynasty of Handyong is different.

The Hanyong Dynasty was a warlike nomadic people and regime formed by thirty-six large tribes and a number of smaller tribes within its borders.

Although the leaders of the thirty-six divisions have sworn allegiance to the imperial court of Handyong, Guangling City. However, the autonomy of the tribes is extremely high, and each has independent military and political power, population, property, cattle and horses.

It is precisely because of this, although Ling He knew early on that the mysterious power came from the Northern Dynasty Handyong, but he had no way to start at all.

Because he had no idea which of the thirty-six tribes should be the first to investigate.

If any big tribe committed a private evil act in order to steal the secrets of the Tianchen Dynasty and strengthen the power of its own tribe. Then even if it is the Handyong Imperial Court, maybe I don't know what it is.

As a result, Ling Or could only start with the relevant people who had handled this matter in the Tianchen Dynasty back then.

Let's see if the people involved in this matter in the court of the Southern Dynasty know any more specific information for him to use as clues for reference.

Xie Zhao's tone was calm and calm.

Whenever she talks about serious things, she always gives people a particularly reliable and calm "sense of heaviness".

"Back then, the mastermind behind the design of such a big game and the assassination of a character like 'Shaoguang Kaixian' was extremely powerful.

Therefore, in my opinion, ordinary small tribes do not have such skills and abilities.

If you want to find clues, it's best to start with the three largest tribes of the Northern Dynasty, what do you think? ”

Ling He frowned at her.

"The three largest tribes of the Northern Dynasty? Do you mean the Ubun Ministry, the Achina Ministry, and the Sudden Drag Ministry? ”

As the world knows, the Yuwen Department, the Achina Department, and the Suertuo Department are the heads of the 36 departments of Handyong in the Northern Dynasty.

These three top tribes not only have a long history and strong strength in Handyong in the Northern Dynasty. It is also intermarried with the Tuoba clan of the Handyong royal family for generations, and the lips and teeth are dependent.

According to the ancient ritual tradition of the Handyong Dynasty of the Northern Dynasty, the queen of the Handyong Imperial Court must be from one of these three major clans and tribes.

Among the three great sword immortals in the world, the "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal" Yu Wenxin, who has now entered the realm of immortals, is a descendant of the prince of the Yuwen Department, a nobleman of the Northern Dynasty.

His biological mother is even more prominent, and she is a county lord of the Tuoba clan of the Handyong royal family.

Han Changsheng also crossed his arms and thought about it.

"But. . . Even so, the territory of the Northern Dynasties is vast.

Even if we go straight to the king's tent of the three major tribes, it is a long distance between the north and the south.

If we check the three major tribes of Handyong one by one, I'm afraid that before we can find out the truth, we will already be discovered first, right? ”

Xie Zhao lifted his chin slightly, gesturing to the teapot in the distance.

"Whoa."

She had only been talking for a while, and her throat was already a little dry and uncomfortable.

A choking smell of blood, a stream of brain down her viscera surged into her throat, and the feeling was really indescribable.

Han Changsheng let out an "ah" after realizing it, obediently got up and poured a cup of hot tea from the table behind him and handed it to her.

Don't look at the fact that he usually quarrels with Xie Zhao and doesn't stop for a moment, "every inch of land must fight" at all, but his heart is very soft.

Xie Zhao took the teacup, first took a shallow sip of hot tea in his throat, and was not in a hurry to drink it.

She suppressed the blood that came up from the bottom of her tongue, stood up and spit out the rust-colored tea in the net basin before the collapse, and then said:

"Among the three major tribes of Handyong, although the population of the Sudden Drag Department is large, it is the least good at fighting;

And the Achina Department is far away in Yusang Mountain, a cold place in the north of the country, and it will not be able to fight.

Such a conspiracy that can play the peerless masters of the Southern Dynasty in the palm of his hand, I don't think about it like the style of the Azhina Ministry;

Therefore, our preferred place to explore should be the Yubunbu, a tribe that has settled in the Arro grassland for generations, the closest to Guangling Castle in Kyoto in the Northern Dynasty, and the closest to the Hanyong Imperial Court. ”

Han Changsheng said thoughtfully: "Don't say it, it sounds like this, what you deduced really makes sense." ”

Xie Zhao looked at him with a smile and said, "This is not just my personal inference.

The three of us entered the Northern Dynasty, like clouds and mud entering the rivers and seas, no matter how careful we are. Naturally, I have reliable information to make this statement. ”

Ling Or raised his eyebrows to look at her.

"What reliable information?"

Xie Zhao said with a smile: "I inquired that the thief who infiltrated Zhaoge in the past once dropped a token in the city that never sleeps.

The token tiger head with wings and strange carvings is not the handwriting of the Central Plains. ”

Ling or groaned slightly.

"Tiger head, winged? That's Poor Qi. It is the family crest of the Ministry of Literature. ”

He looked at Xie Zhao, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

"There must be very few people who know this level of information, but where did you find it? Why didn't you say it before? ”

It was clear that Xie Zhao didn't know about it before yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have communicated this useful news to them in advance before they went to the Bai Dadu Governor's Mansion to investigate.

Ling He frowned and looked at Xie Zhaona's face after sleeping all night, but he looked much more haggard and ugly than yesterday, and a trace of conjecture passed in his heart.

He asserted, "You went out last night. ”

It's hardly a question, it's a statement.

Han Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the two,

"Out? Who? Ah Zhao? Didn't she get sleepy last night and go to bed early? ”

You must know that after Han Changsheng "quarreled" with Xie Zhao yesterday, he couldn't get angry about what he thought after returning to his room, so he decided to come to Xie Zhao to make it clear and explain to her that walking the rivers and lakes is chivalrous first, and you can't hang it up without caring about yourself.

However, when he passed by Xie Zhao's door, he found that her window was pitch black, and remembered that she had been talking about sleepiness since she came back from the Bai Dadu Governor's Mansion, so he thought that she had fallen asleep, so he could only go back to his room and go to sleep in the same way.

Could it be that she didn't sleep? Ran out again?

"Hey?! All right! ”

Han Changsheng was speechless, and he looked a little speechless.

"Ah Zhao, you have been weird since you entered Zhaoge City, and your heart has been wild!

In the past, you worked every day at sunrise and rested every day, and you were only closest to your plank bed.

Why is it that after coming to Zhaoge now, he has added a new vice of not returning at night, which is not good. ”

"What's the mess?"

Xie Zhao helplessly tucked the quilt that slipped down his shoulder, and said:

"I just fell asleep a little after talking to you last night, so I went out for a walk.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven in Zhaoge City, martial law is imposed at night, what do I have to do? ”

"Walk around?"

Ling He said lightly: "The guards who avoided patrolling the neighborhood after the curfew walked casually, and they happened to bring back the clues we needed most at this time, you are really auspicious." ”

He quietly glanced at Xie Zhao, who was rarely speechless, and suddenly frowned and asked:

"I just suddenly remembered that your pulse is vain and weak, it shouldn't be that you had a hand with someone last night, right?"

Xie Zhao looked at him in astonishment, and immediately retorted:

"How is that possible? What are you kidding, with the kung fu and skills of my three-legged cat, I am doing it with others in Zhaoge City, don't I want to die? ”

Ling He frowned and looked at the girl in front of him, he didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

After a while, he said, "It's good that you know." ”

Xie Zhao smiled.

"Knowing and knowing, I naturally still have this self-knowledge."

Han Changsheng suddenly remembered something, and wondered, "Alas? No, you just said, 'The three of us entered the Northern Dynasty'? Do you mean, we won't take An An with us this time? ”

As soon as he said his words, he immediately reacted.

That's right, if they go to a place like Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty to drink blood, they will encounter unknown dangers along the way.

Yu An'an, a weak woman who is weak and quiet and has no martial arts is indeed not easy to walk with.

Although Xie Zhao's kung fu is not good, her light skills are first-class.

What's more, she is very clever, even if there is any unfavorable situation, if they can't beat them, they may always be able to run away separately.

But if they brought Yu An'an, who didn't know anything about martial arts, if they encountered any danger, how could they guarantee that they could take care of her?

That's really "calling the heavens and the earth not spiritual".

Ling He frowned and said, "We really shouldn't take An An to danger, but we have also promised that Mrs. Guo will take care of An An during this period."

Although the Li Mansion seems to be rich and benevolent now, the Li family's thoughts are unpredictable, and we can't leave An An here. ”

Old God Xie Zhao smiled presencely, raised his eyebrows lightly and said:

"Who said I was going to leave An An in Zhaoge City?"

Ling or slightly stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Zhao pulled the corner of one lip and smiled slyly.

"I suddenly remembered that there might be a place where we could pause before we entered the Northern Dynasty and entrust An An there to wait for our return."

Ling or frowned.

"Where, safe?"

Xie Zhao smiled.

"It's natural and safe, it's definitely much safer than letting An An sleep with the three of us."

Han Changsheng was curious.

"Really? What the hell is the place, don't sell it, talk quickly. ”

Xie Zhao looked at the peach tree outside the window that was bathed in sunlight and had almost lost its leaves, and said slowly:

"Zhongzhou Ruian, the coast of the East China Sea."

Ling or Wei paused, looking at her.

"East of the city?"

Xie Zhao chuckled.

"The city to the east."
