Ma Jing suddenly smiled at this time, and asked: "Ye Gongzi seems to have forgotten, it was that Mobei City that killed Imperial Physician Jian's entire family, and this was what your brother-in-law Zhang Shizi saw with his own eyes." Didn't Mobeicheng obey the orders of the little marquis Song Hu? So, what does the tragedy of Imperial Doctor Jian's family have to do with me?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Originally, this was one of the most powerful pieces of evidence against Song Hu, the little marquis, and it led all the doubts to Song Hu. However, when I listened to what Song Hu said when he retired from the army, and then looked back at the whole case, this became a place where I couldn't figure it out. ”

Ma Jing's eyebrows moved, and he asked, "Oh? Could it be that there are any doubts in Mobei City?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Of course there is." My seventh uncle has a lot of connections with their Momen, and he is also very familiar with Mobeicheng, although Mobeicheng is now dead, but through the investigation and questioning of other disciples of Momen, Mobeicheng has indeed taken refuge in the side of Song Hu, the little marquis, including Lord Ma, the news of your poisoning is also reported by him who sent Momen disciples to the Ganliang border pass in the starry night. ”

Therefore, the relationship between Mobeicheng and Song Hu has been made clear. However, at this time, I was thinking about another question, why did Mobeicheng go to seek refuge with the little marquis Song Hu?"

Ma Jing's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally didn't say it.

Ye Feng didn't seem to notice Ma Jing's reaction, and continued: "According to what Mobeicheng said before his death, he is in order to be able to rely on the military power support in the hands of the little marquis Song Hu after the matter is completed, so that Momen can dominate in the northwest and become the number one sect in the northwest. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "But no, Uncle Seventh once told me that Mobeicheng is a very smart and scheming person, he can't have imagined that once Song Hu's plan succeeds, not to mention that he slaughtered Lanzhou City and killed innocents indiscriminately, just because he privately transferred troops and horses and killed the royal nobles, the imperial court would never sit idly by." ”

"At that time, it is still unknown whether the little marquis Song Hu can keep that head, and how to talk about the military power in his hands? And the interesting thing is that if His Royal Highness King Su, who has been sitting in Lanzhou for many years, dies in a military disaster, and the little marquis Song Hu who holds the military power is questioned by the imperial court for causing a military disaster, so the two most powerful people in the northwest have fallen, and whose hands will these powers fall into?"

He raised his head sharply and looked directly at Ma Jing, his eyes flashing with a resolute light: "Of course it's you, Master Ma, the Lanzhou Supervisor, you will undoubtedly become the most powerful person in the northwest at that time!"

"Therefore, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how could a smart person like Mo Beicheng choose to take refuge with the little marquis Song Hu at this time, and try his best to help him complete the plan in his heart? In fact, this is tantamount to pushing Song Hu step by step into the abyss!"

"If he wants to rely on the support of the government in the future to turn Momen into the first sect to dominate the northwest, he should take refuge in you? Only when you monopolize the military and political power can you support him to accomplish such a great cause. ”

Ma Jing showed a meaningful smile on his face at this time, and asked in agreement: "Yes, why is this?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "So I guess that Mobei City's defection to Song Hu is fake, behind him, there should be a real person behind the scenes, it is this person who instructed him to take refuge in Song Hu on the surface, but in fact, he is leading Song Hu step by step to the abyss from which he will never recover." ”

"Naturally, it was also this person who secretly ordered Mobei City to kill Imperial Doctor Jian's entire family, which not only cut off the clues we were pursuing, but also pushed all this onto Song Hu's head. ”

"It is precisely because this person reported to Mobei City, so in Xia and the prefect Zhou, he pretended to declare that Imperial Doctor Jian was not dead, and wanted to lure Mobei City to appear and invite the gentleman into the urn, so he was recognized, and he never waited for the appearance of Mobei City. Only then can all of this be explained. ”

Ma Jing blinked, the meaningful smile on his face remained unchanged, and said slowly:

"Ye Gongzi means, I am the one who hides behind Mobei City, and Mobei City is actually obeying my orders. And from the very beginning, the little marquis Song Hu has actually been calculated by me?"

Ye Feng looked at Ma Jing and sneered: "Isn't that so?"

Ma Jing shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity! It's a pity that Mobei City is dead!"

Ye Feng's heart sank suddenly, Ma Jing was right, but unfortunately Mobei City was dead.

Now that the captain of the guard is also dead, there is no proof of death, and no one can identify whether what he just said is the truth or not, and whether Ma Jing is the mastermind behind all this conspiracy?

Everything had become nothing more than his conjecture.

He was somewhat speechless.

Ma Jing smiled strangely interestingly at this time and asked, "I have a question in my heart, I wonder if Ye Gongzi can answer it for me?"

Ye Feng nodded: "Master Ma, please speak." ”

Ma Jing looked at Ye Feng, and his eyes were suddenly as sharp as knives: "Just now Ye Gongzi said that the reason why he thinks that the real culprit behind the poisoning will not be His Royal Highness King Su is because he thinks that he will not be stupid enough to give Song Hu an excuse to cause a military disaster and put himself in danger." ”

"This is the same for me, when Song Hu led a heavy army to besiege the city, I was also in Lanzhou City, once the city was slaughtered, I would not be spared. If I designed all this, then am I not stupid enough to put myself to death?"

This question is very powerful, almost overturning all of Ye Feng's previous plausible inferences.

But Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "I've thought about this question before. ”

Ma Jing snorted coldly: "Really? ”

Ye Feng raised his head and stared at Ma Jing's eyes, and said, "I guess that since Master Ma came here with the holy will, he must have the emperor's secret decree with him, right?"

Ma Jing was immediately moved when he heard this, and his expression changed.

Ye Feng continued: "The reason why Song Xiaohou dared to be so unscrupulous and bold in privately deploying troops and horses to besiege the imperial family was actually largely because he thought he had guessed the emperor's intentions, and what he did was to sweep away the hidden dangers in the northwest for the emperor, which was in line with the emperor's intentions. ”

"If he sees the secret decree in your hand and learns that you are actually coming to eliminate the hidden danger in the northwest under the emperor's secret order, of course he will definitely ensure your safety, and he will definitely not do anything to you, Lord Ma. ”

Ye Feng sighed again: "It's just that he probably hasn't understood that in the eyes of the emperor, in fact, he, like His Royal Highness King Su, is a hidden danger to the stability of the northwest." ”

He said to Ma Jing: "I don't know if you guessed right?"

Ma Jing didn't speak, he looked at Ye Feng's eyes with a look of admiration in surprise, so Ye Feng knew that he had guessed correctly again.

After a while, Ma Jing let out a long sigh, but shook his head and said, "Ye Gongzi is really smart, and he can guess it." Only this time, I'm afraid I guessed not all right. ”

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Ma Jing said: "Even if I really come up with a secret decree at that time, in terms of Song Hu's character, I have to send an arrow on the string, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to let me go." From the very beginning of the plan, I didn't expect that I would survive this war. ”

What the?

When Ye Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Ma Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, since the emperor decreed that I should serve as the supervisor of Lanzhou, and gave me a secret decree to remove the hidden dangers of stability in the northwest, I knew that this matter would be extremely difficult. ”

"Ye Gongzi is right, not only His Royal Highness King Su has lived in Lanzhou for a long time, bought the hearts of the people, and the popularity of the people is extremely high, which makes the emperor feel guilty, in fact, Song Sheng, the old marquis of Xining who has been in the border for many years, is also a heart disease in the emperor's heart. ”

"Although the old marquis Song Sheng is now

passed away, but the border generals have been under his command for many years, and he is afraid that after the change of the new coach, it will cause the generals to be dissatisfied and difficult to control, thus threatening the security of the border pass. Therefore, it is imperative not only to deal with His Royal Highness King Su, but also to rectify the generals of the Northwest Border Pass, and even to purge the Song family of the Marquis of Xining. ”

"But the Xining Marquis Song family is full of talented generals and has a very high prestige in the army, and the little marquis Song Hu is also a concubine of the dynasty, and is the husband of the emperor's favorite princess An Ning, if there is no serious crime, it is easy to touch. Therefore, the emperor decreed that after he became a knight, he inherited his father's position and came to the northwest border pass to lead the army. ”

Ye Feng was taken aback and asked, "From that time on, the emperor has already made up his mind to clean up Song Hu?"

Ma Jing nodded and said: "Therefore, after that, the emperor ordered me to lead the black armor guard to serve as the supervisor of Lanzhou, which was actually a secret order for me to find an opportunity to provoke a fight between them and remove these two henchmen for the imperial court." ”

"In fact, the whole plan was agreed upon before I set off, and I submitted it to the emperor for approval. Therefore, from that time on, it was already determined that two people would die. ”

He looked down at the incense and candle offerings on the table in front of him, and sighed: "One is this captain of the guard who has followed me for many years, this good friend of mine. In fact, he was willing to sacrifice himself not entirely to repay my life-saving grace back then, but also because he understood how important the stability of the northwest and the tranquility of the border passes were to the court and the world. ”

"For the sake of the court and the world, he is willing to die generously for this plan, exchanging his life for the stability of the northwest frontier!"

Ye Feng looked at the sacrifices on the table, and his heart couldn't help but be in awe of this man who was righteous and awe-inspiring, and regarded death as his home.

He asked, "And who is the other one who will die?"

Ma Jing smiled, his smile was full of desolation: "It's me!"

He looked at Ye Feng stunned for a moment, and then explained: "According to our plan, Song Hu will definitely lead the troops to besiege Lanzhou City in the end, His Royal Highness King Su died in the chaos, and the soldiers and civilians in Lanzhou City suffered countless casualties. In this way, Song Hu will definitely be heavily blamed, and the power of the Song family of Xining Marquis will naturally be uprooted from the court. ”

"But I, the prison army, was sent by the emperor, if in the midst of the military chaos, I will live unscathed, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the world, and some people will suspect that the emperor secretly planned all this, rumors are spreading, if it spreads to the army, the world will be in chaos. ”

He looked at Ye Feng, his face was full of resoluteness: "Therefore, for the stability of the imperial power, for the stability of the army, and for the sake of the world, I must die! Only when I die, can Song Hu's crime be ironcladly proven, and it can be regarded as full of evil, and there will be no rumors in the world." ”

"Originally, I was just a lowly eunuch in the palace, fortunately the emperor did not give up, looked at each other with blue eyes, trusted, and had the opportunity to be able to do something earth-shattering for the court and the world, although I died, what regrets!"

He looked at Ye Fengna's stunned face, and then said: "After my death, the black armor guards stationed outside the city will take advantage of Song Hu's complacency and hold a secret decree to suddenly attack him and several rebellious generals, secretly arrest him, and escort him to the capital, and at the same time control the situation here, waiting for further edicts from the imperial court. ”

He smiled and said, "This is also the reason why I designed to cause friction between the black armor guards and the palace guards in the city as soon as I arrived in Lanzhou City, so as to transfer them out of Lanzhou City to garrison. ”

After listening to Ma Jing's self-presentation, Ye Feng looked at Ma Jing in front of him, and his heart was mixed, which was very unpleasant.

He couldn't have imagined that this terrible conspiracy had been planned in the capital more than a year ago.

He couldn't have imagined that Ma Jing, the sinister and scheming prison soldier who thought he was insidious and scheming, would be a righteous man who was willing to give up his life for the court and the world.

What he didn't expect was that behind all this conspiracy, the real instigator would be the current emperor!
