Chapter 138: Countermeasures in Zhumayi (II)
"Oh, didn't you want me to lead the troops out of the customs and attack the Naxi Wuhuan thieves?" On the other hand, Xie Fang has become more and more tranquil since he put down his disguise, and he has continued to make fun of Mu Qiong.
"This time is different from that time, and it is not what I ask for at the end of the day... Now if Yan Jin is allowed to start a war, the world will be chaotic... The resurgence of the already irrepressible countries will lead to the destruction of the lives of the Central Plains... This is what I can't bear to write, so I hereby apologize to the contemptible people for their disrespect to the lord of the city, and ask the lord of the city not to worry about the juniors, and to focus on the overall situation. Gong Yi Mu Qiong replaced the sarcastic words, changed the style of painting, arched his hands, and was about to give Xie Fang Dabai in front of him.
As soon as Xie Fang saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Gong Yi Mu Qiong, who was about to climb down, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This son's emotions change quickly, he can bend and stretch, and he cares about the hearts of the common people, and he is worthy of the word ink who helps the world.
"I don't mean to discuss it with you, but this is not something you and I can do... This is a long story, but allow me to tell you about it. Xie Fang sighed, picked up Gong Mu Qiong, and gave him a look.
Gong lost Mu Qiong was a little surprised... There is still truth in this? With the intelligence system of the Destiny Pavilion, the Mo family still has few secrets that cannot be known.
"I know what you mean, and I also know the reason why Yan Gong did it under my jurisdiction and didn't tell me. Xie Fang smiled. "It's nothing more than that although my Xie family's status in Yanzhi is high, it has never been trusted by the monarch... Without him, we are loyal to the court first, loyal to the Son of Heaven, and then to him. ”
"And what he means by killing General Fan Wuji, I also know very well... That was nothing more than the fuse that provoked the Yanjin War. Right?" Xie Fang looked at Gong Yi Mu Qiong's eyes and asked directly.
Gong Mu Qiong nodded.
"Big mistake, big mistake. But after Gong Yi Mu Qiong nodded, Xie Fang shook his head instead.
"What's the solution?" Gong Yi Mu Qiong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Xie Fang, and asked.
"This matter is not led by Yan Gong at all, and it is not related to the war between Yan and Jin... It's just a conspiracy against the enemy to kill people in my territory... Of course I know, and I also know the route and place of the killer's escape..."
"What?" Gong Mu Qiong stared at the man in front of him, his tone was shocked, and his eyes were full of incredulity. "You know?"
"I know. Xie Fang nodded.
"Do you know that General Fan is going to die?" Gong Mu Qiong stood up and calmly looked at the Zhumayi Lord in front of him... Behind him, in his eyes, there was anger, unwillingness, and incredulity. "Then why don't you help him, even if he's your robe, your benefactor, your friend over the years?"
"The only friend. Xie Fang added. "Yes, I stood by and watched..."
"What does this mean?" When Gong Yi Mu Qiong heard this, he didn't accuse Xie Fang like he had done before, but thought about it carefully, but he didn't have a clue... He turned his gaze back to Xie Fang, hoping that the other party would answer.
"I didn't want to save him... One is powerless, and the other is powerless... The masterminds behind this matter are not something you and I can easily check and balance. Xie Fang shook his head. "This matter is General Fan's willingness. He paused and sighed, "When I learned that someone was trying to kill General Fan, I immediately went to persuade him... But no matter how much I tried to persuade him, the general was unmoved... At this time, I knew that the general had made up his mind, and I knew the general... He is determined to do something, no matter what, he will not back down, even if it is death, he will not struggle easily, but face it calmly... The general is a real warrior... It's just that one thing, they're going to do it in my place, and they're trying to pull me off the horse. ”
"...."Gong Mu Qiong was silent when he heard this, but just lowered his head and groaned.
"Isn't it obvious? My Xie family is blocking their way, and my Xie Fang is even more... What they are planning is that I will lead the troops out of the customs to assist the court in pacifying Xirong, and what they are afraid of is that the cold chaos will be pacified earlier. Xie Fang shook his head helplessly. "So as soon as you came to tell me about sending troops, I would pretend to be stupid, not because I deliberately provoked you, it was really... I just have to be very careful at this point. ”
Hearing this, Gong Mu Qiong nodded, bowed down and replied, "It's the kid who is rude, please don't care about it." “
"Hahaha, I'm not a person with a small belly, it doesn't hurt to know what you think in your belly..."Xie Fang helped Mu Qiong's arm and said bluntly.
"It was also at that time that I also knew who the person who could make the general die without regrets. Xie Fang helped up Mu Qiong, who was making a fuss, and continued the topic just now.
"At that time, I had to dig three feet into the ground to cast an underground storage room, but I dug a tunnel... When my lord informed me of this, I had a bad premonition. This treacherous and varied tunnel is shaped like a labyrinth, and the interior is intricate and large, connecting the outside of the city. But in my five years in Zhumayi, I have never heard of such a project in this city... I sent someone to carefully check the urban plan of Zhumayi and all the connecting roads of the drainage system underneath... But this underground way is not among them. Xie Fang paused and continued: "Later, I ordered people to run to the previous lords, but they didn't know about it... Therefore, I judged that the secret passages that did not appear in this dossier could only be deliberately concealed from above..."
"Secret Passage?" Gong Mu Qiong frowned. "Is it possible that the lord of the city did it, or is it some other force?"
Xie Fang shook his head.
"Jumayi is no ordinary city... This city was built in the twelfth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and it was the nail built to prevent the thieves from going south again after the battle with Wuhuan. How did ordinary people or forces come from such great power?" Xie Fang firmly denied Mu Qiong's speculation.
"But this secret passage has something to do with General Fan's death?" asked Gong Yi Mu Qiong puzzled at first, and after a second or two, he thought about it and slowly spoke. "Isn't that the assassin just running away from this place?!"
Xie Fang nodded.
"And I'm going to knock this on the side of you... But he didn't know it. Xie Fang was silent. "He really doesn't know, I have been with him for decades, and I am confident that this kind of judgment still exists. ”
"I already know what the lord means... Are you saying that other forces intervened in Yan Land, killed General Fan, and borrowed a sword from you, thus triggering the battle of Yan and Jin?"
Xie Fang nodded again.
"Wrong, lord of the city, you are wrong. But who knew that Gong Yi Mu Qiong shook his head and denied Xie Fang's judgment.
"Huh?" Xie Fang raised his head and looked at Gong Yi Mu Qiong suspiciously.
"Not to mention whether this tunnel has anything to do with the Assassins, but the only person who can build this tunnel in Zhumayi is likely to be within the Yan Palace... I understand what the lord of the city means, it is nothing more than an external force intervening in the temple and doing something while the city is being built... But the lord of the city doesn't know that this city is my father's handiwork..."
"What?" Xie Fang was surprised.
