After half a month's trek, Meng Yi finally arrived in Xigu.

Xigu County Office.

When Meng Yi saw Wu Jian, he just arched his hand and sat down without saying a word.

Wu Jian was a little embarrassed and said, "Welcome to the imperial envoy." ”

Meng Yi nodded: "General Right, please take a seat." ”

After Wu Jian sat down, he sighed: "Ding Chuan's death is my fault!" ”

Meng Yi took out the letter from his arms and said lightly: "General Right doesn't have to blame himself in a hurry, I came to investigate this matter on the orders of His Majesty, before that, His Majesty has a handwritten letter to General You, and General Right will talk about it after reading it." ”

Wu Jian hurriedly got up and took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, then cautiously put it into his arms, and sighed: "Your Majesty believes me so far, how can I repay it!" ”

Meng Yi had a smile on his face: "General Right, please tell me in detail about the cause and effect of this matter." ”

Someone next to him immediately took a pen and paper and turned it behind the screen.

"The rules are so, General Right forgive me."

Wu Jian hurriedly said: "It should be like this." In October of the 11th year, after I arrived in Zhangye, I immediately went to the Inspector and General Zuo, and informed His Majesty of the edict, and the Inspector accompanied me to the Dada Department. After explaining his intentions, Dada happily agreed to go to Kunlun to lobby the Yaqiang people......"

"Dare to ask General You, when Dada agreed to go to Kunlun, was anyone else to stop him?"

Wu Jian thought for a while, frowned, and said: "At that time, Dada's son Yan Yu thought that Dada was old and invited him to go, but was stopped by Dada. ”

Meng Yi nodded: "Please continue." ”

"Before Dada left, Ding Chuan suddenly found me and said that it was dangerous to let Dada go alone, so I went to the supervision envoy to discuss, and the inspector also felt that he should send someone to follow him, so I didn't think much about it and asked Ding Chuan to accompany him." Wu Jian sighed again: "But I don't want to ......"

Meng Yi was relieved and continued to ask: "The danger that General You just said, can I understand that the first is Dada's personal safety, and the other is the danger of Dada's conspiracy with the Yaqiang people?" ”

"The emperor is wise. After all, Dada is the leader of the Beiqiang clan, and if something happens, it will definitely shake the Beiqiang clan. At the same time, we are also worried that Dada will have some plans with the Qiang people to endanger Daqin. ”

Meng Yi didn't comment, and continued: "Please continue, General Right." ”

"Ding Chuan and Dada set out from Zhangye in November, and I accompanied them to Xigu, where I stayed and waited for them in case of accidents. I never thought that in early February, news suddenly came that Dada and Ding Chuan and more than 200 people accompanying them were killed in Wua! I immediately reported it to Your Majesty, and it was like that. ”

Meng Yi frowned and said, "First of all, since all the people in the group were killed, what happened to the Guishan people mentioned in the report of General You?" Who's coming back? ”

"I was afraid that something would happen to them, so I took more than 2,000 people to wait in Xigu, after they left, I felt more and more that the Yaqiang people and the Beiqiang clan are of the same origin, after all, there has been no contact for more than ten generations, worried that something will happen to them, I sent five scouts to inquire about the situation, the news is what they brought back, this point the imperial envoy can check the transfer of troops and seal the letter, the five scouts are also in Xigu."

Wu Jian gritted his teeth, picked up a cloth-wrapped glass object from the table, and said fiercely: "As for the Guishan people, the Tanqi picked up this glass at the place of the incident, and the imperial envoy didn't know about it, this is the identity certificate that the Guishan guards have!" ”

Meng Yi took it and took a closer look, it really didn't look like something from Daqin, he had also seen colored glass, but it was rare to see it like this.

"I see, I'll check it out." Then he asked the second doubt: "General Right said that Dada and Dingchuan set off from Zhangye in November, and it should be the middle of winter when they left Xigu, and it was still snowing heavily in Hexi, wouldn't it be difficult for Kunlun to move an inch?" Why rush to Kunlun? ”

Wu Jian said helplessly: "Originally, I discussed with the inspector that I would go after the beginning of spring, and Your Majesty also said that this is a plan for future generations, not for a while, but Dada said that his time is short, and His Majesty is as kind to him as a mountain, and he should do this last thing for His Majesty, and insist on going." Now that Daqin has light cotton clothes, and the long way is acceptable, I didn't continue to persuade him. ”

Meng Yi nodded: "Thank you, General Right, I roughly understand, there are some things that still need to be verified, General Right will go back." ”

Wu Jian got up and said respectfully: "There is an envoy of Emperor Lao." ”

————

The next day, the two met again at the government office.

"General Right, I have sorted out this case yesterday, and I will send it back to Xianyang today." Meng Yi was much kinder than yesterday: "General Right, don't blame yourself too much, this is the fault of the Yaqiang people and the Kushan people." ”

Wu Jian smiled bitterly: "Thank you Imperial Envoy." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside came in to report: "The imperial envoy, the right general, Dahe and Yan Xue ask to see you." ”

The two glanced at each other, and Meng Yi groaned slightly: "Let them in." ”

Dahe hurriedly walked in, followed by Yan Xu, and the two bowed: "See General Right." ”

Wu Jian received a salute and stretched out his hand and said, "This is the imperial envoy from Xianyang." ”

The two hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the imperial envoy!" ”

Meng Yi nodded slightly: "What are the two of you doing here?" ”

Yan Yu preemptively said: "Where is my father's body?" ”

Wu Jian sighed lightly: "In the back office, go and have a look." ”

Yan Yu hurriedly went, but Dahe stood still and didn't move.

"Right General, how did the Great Khan die?"

The three of them sat down, Wu Jian talked about the matter roughly, and finally said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, so you have sent an imperial envoy here." ”

Dahe turned a lot whiter, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the imperial envoy, this matter has now been clarified, what is the imperial envoy's intention?" ”

Meng Yi pointed out the door: "The messenger to Xianyang has not yet set off, and you need to consult Your Majesty to decide." ”

Dahe's expression changed slightly, and he pondered for a while and said, "Will Your Majesty agree to send troops to Kunlun?" ”

Meng Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty's holy will, I don't dare to speculate. ”

Dahe clenched his fists and said with a solemn expression: "The Beiqiang clan is forever grateful for the kindness of Great Qin, but with all due respect, after the death of the Great Khan, I can guarantee that I will be able to suppress my people, the key is that there is still a young master, and the young master cannot but avenge the Great Khan!" ”

Meng Yi glanced at Wu Jian, and just as he was about to speak, Yan Zhi almost rushed out from behind, his eyes red and said, "Who killed my father!" I will cut off their heads!" ”

Wu Jian got up and persuaded: "Don't worry, my general Zuo was also murdered, and I am also extremely sad and angry, but you also know the situation in Kunlun, if you rush into the army, not to mention the heavy losses, and then you want to regain your strength to avenge the Great Khan, I am afraid that it is far away, and this matter still needs to be carefully discussed." ”

Yan Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "General Right, if it is not disrespectful, if Your Majesty feels that it is not worth sending troops for my father, I can lead the soldiers of the Beiqiang clan to take revenge!" I just hope that Your Majesty will not stop you! ”

With that, he hurried out.

"Come on, welcome the Great Khan to Yanzhi Mountain!"

Dahe shook his head and looked at Meng Yi: "Don't blame the emperor, no one can fail to avenge the murder of his father!" I can persuade the young master to endure for some time, but after the burial of the Great Khan, I hope Your Majesty will make it clear! If it is inconvenient for Daqin to send troops, I can send troops with the young master to take revenge! ”
