Chapter 51: Pursuit
Subsequently, the two didn't care whether the wine and food were poisonous or not, the two brothers sat on the ground, Tang Yong reached out and grabbed a chicken, tore off his thigh, took a hard bite, and then picked up the wine jar, and did not pour it into the bowl, but directly drank two sips.
"Cool!" Tang Yong let out a sigh of relief and said, "His grandmother's, how many years haven't you eaten such good wine and meat?"
Li Yu is the same, Meimei took a sip of wine, her movements were much better than Tang Yongswen, and she squinted her eyes and said: "Seeing that the families of those brothers back then could eat well, dress well, live a worry-free life, and the children could afford to go to school, even if they don't eat meat for the rest of their lives, Lao Tzu will admit it!"
Tang Yong nodded: "You and my brother picked up this rotten life, it was the brothers who were afraid that everyone would die and no one would take care of their families, so they gave all the blessings to our brothers, if we don't take care of them, who will take care of them?"
"Boss Tang, do you think we can fully believe in the second young master?" Li Yu muttered, "The general is his father after all. ”
"Li Xiaoyu, you said it yourself, do we have any other way than to believe him now? If he doesn't want to investigate this matter, he only needs to give an order, and you and I will be in different places, so why talk nonsense with us?" Tang Yong looked stupid, but in fact he was not stupid at all.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to cooperate with Li Yu and the two in the imperial capital West City to fool people.
Li Yu nodded: "What you said is that I agreed precisely for this reason." We are now in the hands of others, we want to kill and scrape, but it is just a word from others, no one will stand up for you and my brother. In that case, we might as well give it a go!"
Tang Yong smiled bitterly: "Actually, Li Xiaoyu ...... In your heart now, are you also doubting what Yuan Zhi said back then...... Is it true?"
Li Yu was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, if that's really the case, then wouldn't it be stupid for our brother's persistence for so many years? If that's the case, we will be tantamount to wronging the general for so many years, think about it...... I can't even think about it......"
"Now I think back to the expression on the face of the general when he drove us away...... Alas, I'm afraid that he is really protecting us as the second young master said! Unfortunately, we were all blinded by resentment at that time...... How can you still have the heart to analyze?"
Tang Yong muttered: "If that's the case, then you and my brother are not only stupid and can't find a real enemy, but also stupid!"
"In fact, we have insisted for so many years, just to give an explanation to the brother who died that year...... That's all!" Li Yu took a sip of wine and said in a low voice.
......
"This deed...... You see, young master, here, yes, this is the hook here, master's...... Well, Dad's habits, the other party has a clear grasp of them. But what is certain is that this secret order is absolutely fake!"
It was late at night, and Ripple and Xu Luo were sitting together, head to head, carefully studying the secret order that Xu Luo had just retrieved.
The secret order has been a little yellow, it looks like it has been some years, it is still very well preserved, and it is still stained with some blood stains that have darkened in color, which shows that in order to save this secret order, Tang Yong and Li Yu must have paid a great price.
Xu Luo nodded and said: "That's right, my father is a military general, his words have a murderous aura, and the pen is tough, and the font on this secret order, although it is very similar to my father's font, almost identical, but it lacks that murderous aura, and people who really understand calligraphy can see it at a glance!"
Xu Luo has been weak since he was a child and can't cultivate, but in terms of literary talent, he is not weak, and he can't talk about calligraphy and painting, but he is definitely proficient.
Ripple is the same, she grew up with Xu Luo since she was a child, because she is a girl, she is even more proficient in this aspect than Xu Luo.
When the two of them opened the secret order, they both saw that something was wrong at a glance.
"The forger of this secret order has a lot of knowledge of my father's handwriting, this ...... It is almost impossible for it to come from an enemy country, let alone the big seal of the general of the town country above, it is exactly the same, although the seal is not highly confidential, but it is definitely not an information that can be easily obtained by enemy spies......"
Xu Luo said with a deep groan, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, is there only Wei Xiang in the court...... Proficient in various penmanship, in calligraphy, can be called everyone?"
Ripple was taken aback by Xu Luo's speculation, and said with a pale face: "This ...... This is impossible, right? Even if Wei Xiang wants to take the position in order to compete for power, and wants to suppress the power of the generals, he can do this...... It is clear that they are collaborating with the enemy...... This is treason!"
"Treason, this group of bastards whose conscience has long been eaten by dogs, is there anything they don't dare?" Xu Luo said coldly: "If this matter is really done by that old bastard, even if the sky is going to fall this day, I will not let him go!"
"Young Master...... You calm down first, let's discuss it carefully, this matter is extraordinary, not to mention that Wei Xiang's status is extremely high now, and he can't act rashly without conclusive evidence; ”
Ripple calmly analyzed: "The biggest beneficiary of that incident back then must be Wei Feng, but he was not the only one who followed him back then! If the young master wants to investigate this matter, he must be careful and careful, and must not reveal the slightest rumor, in case they startle the snake, then they will definitely fight back wildly......
"I know that you can rest assured, I will never act recklessly. Xu Luo's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: "Sister, when Wansong Town was defeated, who was the general of the enemy country?"
Ripple frowned slightly, and said softly: "It is a general named Hao Liancheng, the target of the three hundred dead soldiers and the forward General Wu back then was that person, and later, because of that big victory, that person worshipped the general in the enemy country!"
"My father got a secret report that Hao Liancheng suddenly appeared in Wansong Town, and he only brought a few personal soldiers with him, so my father planned this beheading operation, and as long as Hao Liancheng died, the entire border could be stable for at least 20 years! ”
"So...... Who was the person who made the secret report to his father back then?" Xu Luo squinted his eyes and said softly: "Let's assume that if the incident back then was a trap and a shocking conspiracy, then Hao Liancheng's trip to Wansong Town must be the first trap!"
"Among them, the scout who discovered this information is the first suspicious object! This scout is very likely to have been bought, and of course, it may also be an innocent victim, and we must find out about this matter. ”
Ripple nodded, recorded Xu Luo's words with a pen, and kept it to go back to verify.
Xu Luo continued: "Then, let's assume that this matter is a trap designed by Hao Liancheng, the general of the enemy country, and the traitors on our side, then the whole thing makes sense." ”
Ripple said: "Yes, if it is someone from our side, it is good to collude with Hao Liancheng, set a trap, and then, deliberately let the scouts discover Hao Liancheng's whereabouts and report it to his father, and his father will definitely not let go of this God-given opportunity." ”
"That's right, the other party even calculated his father's reaction after he found out about their troop transfer, so there were those unidentified powerhouses who intercepted and killed Yuan Zhi, and then, the secret order that was dropped...... And that's a no-brainer!"
Xu Luo said slowly, his voice was calm, but the anger on his face was getting stronger and stronger.
"What a sinister design, if this thing is really designed by insiders, then this person is not as good as a beast! For his own selfishness, he ignores the interests of the country and ignores the living life...... It's simply dehumanizing!"
Xu Luo's eyes were red, thinking of the dead lives and the countless broken families behind those lives, Xu Luo's heart was already full of anger.
"Sister, now, you immediately go to investigate the first scout who discovered Hao Liancheng's whereabouts back then, I want to see if this scout is an innocent victim who was used by others, or a spy who is complicit with the enemy!"
"That's it, this matter, let's start investigating here!" Xu Luo put away the secret order and said coldly.
"Okay, I'll do it now. Ripple said, stood up, and walked out of the room.
In the room, Xu Luo's eyes flickered, and he muttered softly, "Wei Xiang...... Yuan Zhi died in the imperial capital; Wei Ziting...... The assassination of my brother by the Yuan family...... The assassination of me by a mysterious man on the edge of the Imperial City...... Military Heavy Crossbow ......"
As he spoke, the light in Xu Luo's eyes became colder and colder, and he slowly stood up and whispered to himself: "Ripples go to investigate this matter, and it can't be noticed by anyone, so ...... It's up to me to make some movement and come out, and I'll paralyze you first. ”
......
Early the next morning, Xu Luo got up early, sat in the carriage of the Xu Mansion, and returned to the True Martial Academy.
There are many students in the academy who come from poor backgrounds, but they are very diligent, and they get up early every day, practicing martial arts hard, looking forward to one day, they can get ahead.
But today it was a bit unusual, those students gathered in twos and threes, all talking excitedly about something.
Some of the boys still have a look of longing, and they don't know what they are fantasizing.
Xu Luo's mind was full of the tragedy in Wansong Town back then, and he was not interested in the topic of these students at all. Although everyone is almost the same in age, in terms of mentality, Xu Luo is much more mature than this group of teenagers who don't have much experience.
"Hey, Xu Luo!" As Xu Luo was pondering and walking with his head down, a voice suddenly came from not far away, calling him.
Xu Luo raised his head and was slightly stunned when he saw the person who called him, and then showed a smile: "Why did you get up so early?"
The person on the other side is Sun Donghai, who is one of the top sons of the imperial capital, but likes to interact with people in the rivers and lakes.
Sun Donghai smiled and said, "The early bird has worms, if you are not diligent, what will you do in the future?"
Xu Luo smiled slightly, but didn't explain anything.
Sun Donghai walked into Xu Luo and laughed in a low voice: "Do you know what this group of people are talking about?"
Xu Luo glanced at Sun Donghai and said, "What, are you also interested in this?"
"Ha Luha, I'm not interested, but you should be interested. Sun Donghai smiled, then approached Xu Luo and whispered, "The Seventh Princess's main coming to the True Martial Arts Academy!"
