Chapter 187: The Peak Loop Turns The True Murderer Appears

The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Chu Mofeng and his entourage left Chang'an and went to Niangziguan as a messenger, ostensibly to comfort the border soldiers, but secretly to find out the real cause of death of Pingyang princess Li Xiuning.

After Chu Mofeng and his entourage of six arrived at Niangzi Pass, they met Li Xiuning's deputy Chai Yunxiu, and learned from Chai Yunxiu that Li Xiuning was shot dead from behind with an arrow, and the biggest suspect was Li Xiuning's other deputy general, --- Dou Jingyan.

However, at this time, Dou Jingyan was not in Niangzi Pass, according to Chai Yunxiu, Dou Jingyan led troops to Jinyang to escort grain and grass at this time, after learning of this situation, Chu Mofeng immediately asked Chai Yunxiu to draw a portrait of Dou Jingyan, and ordered Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu to secretly go to Jinyang to find Dou Jingyan.

Chu Mofeng, who stayed in Niangzi Pass, found a room as a temporary inquiry location after Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu left, and then ordered Chai Yunxiu to question the generals and soldiers involved that day one by one.

And Gu Zhen'er, Chen Jingqing and Xiao Ruolan followed Chu Mofeng's instructions and wandered aimlessly in Niangzi Pass.

On the official road leading to Jinyang at Niangziguan, two fast horses galloped wildly in the direction of Jinyang, Liu Feiyan held the reins in one hand, tightened the scarf with the other, and said loudly to Yu Wenxiu, who was walking beside him: "Sister Xiu'er, we have to hurry up and rush to Jinyang, if that Dou Jingyan is not in Jinyang, we have to inform Brother Chu quickly." ”

Yu Wenxiu looked up at the slightly white sky, and said to Liu Feiyan: "Do you say that Dou Jingyan will be the murderer of Li Xiuning? According to what Mo Feng said, this Dou Jingyan and Li Xiuning are also cousins, and according to common sense, there shouldn't be too much revenge?"

"Who knows? Things in the court have always been so chaotic, and who knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts, who knows what this Dou girl thinks in her heart. Liu Feiyan sighed and said a little helplessly: "Maybe after we meet this person, everything will be clear." ”

As soon as Liu Feiyan's words fell, the two of them clamped the horse's belly together, urging the horse under the crotch to speed forward.

About twenty miles in front of Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu, a group of soldiers escorted a prisoner cart slowly towards Jinyang, in which sat a woman wearing only a profane garment, whose face was unclear, and the whip marks on the profane clothes proved that the woman had been severely tortured. The prisoner cart walked forward slowly, and the woman in the car seemed to be awakened by the bumps in the road, her chapped lips opened lightly, and she whispered, "Water, give me some water to drink." ”

The soldier in charge of escorting heard the woman's shout, took the water bladder from the jacket, pulled the plug straight, fell down the top of the woman's head, and then threw the water bladder into the blanket and continued to walk forward.

The woman in the prison car was suddenly poured water on her head, and she couldn't help but sigh, and hurriedly stretched out her tongue to lick the hard-won droplets, and then said meaningfully: "No matter what, we used to be robes, you don't need to treat me like this, are you really willing to listen to the words of that poisonous woman who is full of lies?"

As soon as the words fell, the man on horseback at the front of the team turned his horse's head and came to the prisoner car, and whispered to the woman in the car: "You will die of this heart, who made you unwilling to cooperate, so you can only be pushed out as a scapegoat, and when Jinyang beheads you, everything will disappear with your death." ”

Hearing these words, the woman in the prisoner car trembled a little because of her thin clothes, looked at the woman riding a horse in front of her, and said angrily: "Zhang Zitong, the general treated you well, why did you follow that poisonous woman to do this unconscionable thing, don't you ......?"

Before the words fell, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, this man named Zhang Zitong raised his head and looked behind him, only to see two masked people riding horses and rushing towards him quickly, just in case, Zhang Zitong hurriedly signaled his subordinates to be on guard.

Who knew that the two people on horseback galloped past like a gust of wind without looking back, and after the two of them were far away, Zhang Zitong beckoned everyone to continue walking forward.

After Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu rode past a convoy, they continued to drive forward, who knew that after walking a distance, Liu Feiyan suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch suddenly made a sharp stop, and then the front hooves were raised high, and they were embarrassed to stay in place, while Yu Wenxiu on the side quickly turned the horse's head and turned around and ran towards Liu Feiyan.

Coming to Liu Feiyan's side, Yu Wenxiu asked in surprise: "Feiyan, why did you stop suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

"Sister Xiu'er, something is wrong, when we passed by that convoy just now, I glanced at it slightly, the outfits of those soldiers are the costumes of our Datang, but according to the style, they should be the costumes of the Niangziguan guards, and those soldiers seem to be all women. Liu Feiyan turned his head to look at the road behind him, frowned and said slowly: "Do you remember that Brother Chu didn't mention that there were prisoners in the direction of Niangziguan to be escorted to Jinyang." ”

Yu Wenxiu thought for a moment, and said with a solemn face: "Yes, that Chai Yunxiu said that the only one who went to Jinyang was Dou Jingyan who we were looking for, and he didn't mention what prisoners were escorted. ”

Liu Feiyan nodded when he heard this, then turned his horse's head and pulled out his weapon and said, "Sister Xiu'er, we have to go back and take a look, I think this matter is a bit strange, maybe we can have unexpected gains." ”

Seeing this, Yu Wenxiu nodded, and the two immediately ran towards the road they came, escorting the prisoner cart towards the direction of Jinyang, Zhang Zitong was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to urge the convoy to speed up his pace, but there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhang Zitong saw a long knife in his hand and shouted at the two: "Who are you going to?

"Who are you, little lady?, where are you going?" Looking at Zhang Zitong, who was holding a long knife in the army, Liu Feiyan, who was wearing a mask, couldn't help but make a joke.

"Bold thief, we are the subordinates of General Guan Chai, the lady, responsible for escorting a key criminal to Jinyang, and the acquaintance quickly got out of the way, hoping that the commander can spare you from death. Zhang Zitong thought it was just an ordinary bandit robbing the road, and subconsciously moved out of the prestige of Niangziguan, in a vain attempt to scare the two away.

Who knew that Liu Feiyan laughed when he heard this, and then said to Zhang Zitong: "Little lady, it's useless for you to move out of your Niangziguan's name, it's your Niangziguan who robbed it today." After speaking, he raised the soft sword in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Zitong, and Yu Wenxiu on the side also pulled out the two strangely shaped knives behind him and rushed up.

Seeing that someone had hijacked the prisoner car, Zhang Zitong hurriedly shouted to his subordinates to meet the enemy, while he was about to turn his horse's head and run in the direction of the prisoner car. Seeing that Zhang Zitong not only did not face the battle, but ran towards the prisoner car, Liu Feiyan suddenly determined in his heart that there must be something strange about this matter, and immediately shouted to Yu Wenxiu: "Go and catch the horse rider first, and I'll deal with the rest." ”

Yu Wenxiu heard that his legs clamped the horse's belly, urging the horse under his crotch to run towards Zhang Zitong, and when he was parallel to Zhang Zitong, he used the back of the knife to Zhang Zitong's back and jerked hard, at this time Zhang Zitong's attention was all focused on the prisoner car, thinking that he must kill the people in the car, and did not notice that there was a weapon behind him, and when he was about to raise the knife to stab at the person in the car, he suddenly had a strong force to knock himself away, and then fell to the ground with black eyes and lost consciousness.

The sound of fighting outside the car woke up the people in the car, and when they saw someone hijacking the prisoner car, the people in the car shouted at the two masked people: "Two heroes save me, the little woman was framed by an adulterer, and begged the hero to save the little woman's life." ”

At this time, Yu Wenxiu had already rushed to the side of the prisoner car and shouted to the woman in the car: "Don't be afraid, girl, we are here to save you, dare to ask the girl if she can tell Fang's name." ”

"The little woman's name is Dou Jingyan, and she is the deputy general of Niangziguan. Hearing that the two came to rescue her, the woman in the car hurriedly reported her name.

Hearing the words 'Dou Jingyan', Yu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, then raised the double knife in his hand and slashed at the prisoner car, only to hear a deafening sound, the prisoner car was split hard, and then Yu Wenxiu stretched out his hand to pull away the hair in front of the woman, and shouted to Liu Feiyan in the distance: "She said her name is Dou Jingyan, see if it is." ”

Liu Feiyan, who was fighting with several soldiers, glanced at it, and then swung a spear with a soft sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "That's right, it's exactly the same as on the portrait." ”

Yu Wenxiu nodded when he heard this, picked up a long knife on the ground and handed it to Dou Jingyan and said, "Don't be impatient, wait until I and my friends solve these people." Then he turned over and dismounted and charged towards the soldiers.

After a while, there were no more soldiers who could stand at the scene, Yu Wenxiu walked to Zhang Zitong's side, took a rope and tied her up, and threw it on the horse, while Liu Feiyan slowly stepped forward and asked Dou Jingyan: "Didn't you go to Jinyang to escort grain and grass, why are you in the prisoner car?"

Dou Jingyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said angrily: "The two of you should be from the lady's prison, right? It must be the poisonous woman surnamed Chai who said it." But I'm curious, how did the two of you meet that poisonous woman surnamed Chai?"

"The poisonous woman surnamed Chai you are referring to Chai Yunxiu?" Seeing that Dou Jingyan was shivering with cold at the moment, Liu Feiyan hurriedly took out a robe from the jacket on horseback and draped it on her, and then said with a smile: " Truth be told, we are the subordinates of the minister of Qi Guogong Chu Mofeng, this time we came to investigate the cause of the death of Princess Pingyang, yesterday we arrived at Niangzi Pass, saw your so-called poisonous woman surnamed Chai, heard that you went to Jinyang to escort grain and grass, so this morning rushed all the way, ready to go to Jinyang to find you, who knows but met on the way, what is going on. ”

Hearing that the two of them were the subordinates of Chu Mofeng, the Duke of Qi, Dou Jingyan immediately burst into tears, and then choked up and said: "Two, take me to see the grandfather of the country, our princess Her Royal Highness died unjustly." ”

Seeing that Dou Jingyan was about to continue talking, Liu Feiyan hurriedly stopped her, and then said to Yu Wenxiu: "This is not the place to speak, we just killed these soldiers, if we don't deal with it quickly, I'm afraid it will bring us unnecessary trouble." ”

Yu Wenxiu nodded, hurriedly disposed of all the corpses on the ground with Liu Feiyan, and then pulled out a set of clothes and threw them to Dou Jingyan and said, "You will change it first, and then we will enter Jinyang City, and we will buy you a few more suitable ones." ”

Dou Jingyan nodded, hurriedly put her clothes on her body indiscriminately, and then led a horse, and the three of them took Zhang Zitong in the direction of Jinyang City.

And in the Niangzi Pass, Chu Mofeng asked the people involved one by one, and they were all told that the battlefield was very chaotic that day, and they didn't see how Princess Pingyang was killed by an arrow, and as the last person who was questioned left, Chu Mofeng looked at the candles on the table and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

And the three of Gu Zhen'er, who were hanging out in Niangziguan, also found nothing at the moment, and the only news they got. It's just that one of Chai Yunxiu's personal soldiers also lost his trace after the death of Princess Pingyang.

Feeling a little tired after asking for a day, Chu Mofeng went straight back to his bedroom, lying on the bed and thinking about the day's questioning, Chu Mofeng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had no choice but to keep reviewing the scene of the day in his mind.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, Chu Mofeng hurriedly got out of bed and came to the door, opened the door and found that Chai Yunxiu, who was dressed in women's clothes, was standing at the door with a tray at the moment. ”

Chu Mofeng, who was stunned by Chai Yunxiu's women's dress in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "General Chai What are you talking about, come in quickly." Seeing this, Chai Yunxiu walked in with a tray, then closed the door, quickly arranged the wine and food in the tray, and hurriedly beckoned Chu Mofeng to sit down.

Chu Mofeng, who hadn't eaten much, looked at the few delicate side dishes in front of him, couldn't help but feel a sense of hunger, hurriedly sat down and picked up the chopsticks, and ate them regardless of the image, Chai Yunxiu on the side smiled and poured a glass of wine for Chu Mofeng, and handed it to Chu Mofeng's lips with both hands.

Chu Mofeng's face turned red when he saw this, and he hurriedly took the wine glass and drank it all, while Chai Yunxiu poured another glass, took a sip of himself, and then sat down next to Chu Mofeng, and Chu Mofeng, who was fighting against the dishes on the table, suddenly felt a faint fragrance coming in along his nose, and hurriedly raised his head to take a look, only to see Chai Yunxiu dressed as if he was wearing a profane dress, and the towering chest held up the clothes in a small arc, and the delicate skin inside could be vaguely seen.

At this time, Chai Yunxiu picked up the wine glass and handed it to Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng was about to take it, but he saw half a lip print on one side of the wine glass, and immediately said with a smile: "General Chai, this is the cup you use, can you please bring me another one?"

Who knew that Chai Yunxiu glanced at Chu Mofeng faintly, and said in a low voice: "Everyone in the world knows that there are countless beautiful flowers in the Grandpa Guo's mansion, and the Grandpa of the Princess, who is a cheap concubine, will definitely not be able to see it." At this time, there are only you and me, and Grandpa Guo still doesn't want General Chai and General Chai, if Grandpa Guo doesn't dislike it, you can call Concubine Yunxiu. ”

"Miss Yunxiu, I can't stand you like this, it's just an idle prince in the next year, the girl doesn't have to be like this, and Chu already has a wife, and I hope that the girl will be self-respecting, don't tarnish the girl's innocence. Hearing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly turned his body away from Chai Yunxiu, and then picked up the wine glass and drank it all at the side without lip prints.

Seeing this, Chai Yunxiu did not restrain himself, but got up and stepped forward, stood in front of Chu Mofeng and whispered: "Grandpa Guo is kind-hearted, and he went to Niangziguan to investigate the real cause of the princess's death. ”

Listening to Chai Yunxiu's words, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, this reward was just a gift of wine and food, is it worth such righteousness and awe-inspiring? Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the clothes on Chai Yunxiu's body suddenly slipped off, and his skin as white as ivory suddenly appeared in front of Chu Mofeng's eyes.

At this time, there were two or three braziers lit in the house, and the temperature in the house was like the alternation of spring and summer, Chai Yunxiu was about to fade the cherub on his body, Chu Mofeng saw this, picked up Chai Yunxiu's clothes, and draped them on her, and then said with a straight face: "Miss Yunxiu's kindness is in my heart, but please don't do this, Chu is not the kind of person who Meng Lang, please forgive me." ”

Seeing that Chu Mofeng was unmoved, Chai Yunxiu immediately got dressed, sighed softly and said: "Since this is the case, Fang is Yunxiu in a hurry, and I hope that Grandpa Guo will forgive me, Grandpa Guo, please use it slowly, Yunxiu will retire for the time being." After finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes and turned around and left Chu Mofeng's bedroom.

Looking at Chai Yunxiu's departing figure, Chu Mofeng couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and said stupidly: "Mom, this woman's atmosphere is really unbearable." ”

Just when Chu Mofeng resisted Chai Yunxiu's enthusiasm like a spring breeze, in the Jinyang City Inn, Liu Feiyan, Yu Wenxiu and Dou Jingyan were sitting in a guest room, Dou Jingyan, who had not eaten for a long time, was constantly filling her mouth with food, while Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu on the side were looking at her with a smile on their faces.

After a while, Dou Jingyan finally had her fill, then stood up and knelt down to Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu and said: "Two heroes, the little woman Dou Jingyan thanks the two for saving their lives today. ”

"Your princess, Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang?" Hearing that Dou Jingyan wanted to avenge the princess, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "But Chai Yunxiu said that Princess Pingyang was killed by your cold arrow?"

"The two heroes don't want to listen to the words of that poisonous woman, please let the little woman speak slowly. As soon as Dou Jingyan heard Liu Feiyan's words, she knew that Chai Yunxiu had already sued the wicked first, and then stood up and told the whole story.

When Li Xiuning was guarding Niangzi Pass, the Turks and Liu Heimin repeatedly attacked and were blocked by Li Xiuning, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, in addition to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the only one in the royal family who held the military power was Li Xiuning, Li Jiancheng then recruited his third sister, and soon after Dou Jingyan came to Niangzi Pass, there was a mysterious person who came to Li Xiuning three times and five times, and each time the two broke up.

Just after Liu Heimin's first defeat, the mysterious man came to Niangzi Pass again, this time Li Xiuning had a big quarrel with him, and then ordered someone to drive him out of Niangzi Pass, it was night Li Xiuning called Dou Jingyan to the room and told Dou Jingyan the whole story.

And it was this conversation that Dou Jingyan knew the secret about Chai Yunxiu, although Chai Yunxiu and Li Xiuning are sisters-in-law, but Chai Yunxiu has admired the prince Li Jiancheng since he was a child, and if Li Jiancheng hadn't married Zheng Guanyin, the daughter of Zheng Jibo, the former governor of Suitan Prefecture, then the crown princess at this time should be Chai Yunxiu.

As everyone knows, Chai Yunxiu had previously openly and secretly stated that he should support orthodoxy, which also made Li Xiuning suspicious of her, and this time the mysterious person meant to hand over the command of General Li Xiuning to Chai Yunxiu, but Li Xiuning sternly refused.

Then Liu Heimin was defeated, but the Turks knocked on the pass without warning, when Dou Jingyan was fighting against the enemy on the flank, and it was not until the end of the battle that Li Xiuning was killed, and it was Chai Yunxiu who was fighting head-on with Li Xiuning at that time.

Afterwards, Dou Jingyan asked Chai Yunxiu about the situation, but was prevaricated by Chai Yunxiu, and then Dou Jingyan was suspicious, so she went to Chai Yunxiu's personal soldier to ask, who knew that the personal soldier disappeared on the second day.

After listening to Dou Jingyan's narration, Liu Feiyan's brows furrowed tightly, and she said after a moment: "Miss Dou, what you said and what Chai Yunxiu said are completely two versions, in fact, it is easy to distinguish the authenticity from the false, as long as you can find the pro-soldier you said, you will know in an instant who is true and who is false, but now that the pro-soldier has lost its trace, I don't know if there is any way for you to find her?"

"I feel that this person should not be dead, but he is hidden, maybe he can sneak into Chai Yunxiu's room and find some clues. Dou Jingyan thought for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "But if Chai Yunxiu doesn't have any major events, she will generally not leave the house, so let's find a way to trick her out for a while." ”

Liu Feiyan glanced at Yu Wenxiu when he heard this, and said: "This deceitful woman seems to be better than that person." ”

And Yu Wenxiu also nodded solemnly and said: "In this case, let's rest for the night, return to Niangzi Pass tomorrow, and discuss it after meeting with Mo Feng." ”

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Liu Feiyan got up and said to Dou Jingyan: "Miss Dou, you have a good rest tonight, we need to return to Niangziguan early tomorrow morning, and then we will bring you to Grandpa Guo, and you can explain the details to him." ”

Dou Jingyan nodded when she heard this, and the three of them immediately rested separately, and in the early morning of the second day, while the city gate had just opened, Liu Feiyan and the others had breakfast hastily, and then left Jinyang City and ran in the direction of Niangzi Pass......

Let's see Liu Feiyan secretly checking clues, Chu Mo skillfully uses beautiful male schemes, I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next decomposition......
