Chapter 823: Something Strange (Part II)

"Eh, Brother Tang Zhan, Sister Jing, you are here-" While the two were talking, Yuan Chong's voice came from a place in the courtyard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Yuan Chong-" Tang Zhan also retracted the doubts just now, and greeted him with a smile, "Oh, I said okay today, Jing'er and I will come to Brother Yuan's Mansion to get together for a talk, and by the way, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inspect the situation of the army......"

"As long as the two of you are free, you are welcome to ...... at any time," Yuan Chong said enthusiastically, "As for the army, you can rest assured, yesterday the troops entered the city, and I was also personally ordered by your Marshal Xu Da to cooperate with the officers and men of your vanguard army to collect and seize the things in the old place of the Mengyuan Imperial Court of the Prime Minister's Mansion...... I know that this was once the secret place of the Mengyuan Imperial Court in Bianliang, and if the city is breached, there will inevitably be a big move here. So I specially instructed my good brother to keep everything here as it is, and wait for Brother Tang Zhan to come and inspect it in person......"

"Thank you, Brother Yuan, for having a lot of useful intentions......" Tang Zhan smiled, and then said, "Actually, it is a secret, and it is not more than a second after the war." After a while, Jing'er and I finished inspecting the troops as usual, and then sat down with Brother Yuan, and talked freely about what had happened in Bianliang in the past two years. ”

"No problem, if you two want to listen, you can talk for a night, and then the house will treat each other with good tea......" Yuan Chong said politely, "As for the examination now, you two can do it at any time, if you have any questions about the inspection in the house, you can find me-"

"Then there is Brother Lao Yuan-" Tang Zhan thanked him again, and then went to the mansion with Lu Jing to review the army......

In addition to reviewing the order of the troops, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing also inquired about the news about the confidential documents left by the Mengyuan Imperial Court, so as to make a possible follow-up strategy for the invasion of the army. In order to speed up the efficiency, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing acted separately, Lu Jing was in the front yard and Tang Zhan was in the backyard, each doing inspection and investigation......

At the door of the front yard of the "...... of the military division" and "the ...... of the military division", the soldiers of the vanguard army were methodically carrying and seizing the large and small objects in the treasury, and when they saw Lu Jing coming to inspect, they saluted and greeted.

Lu Jing also nodded in response, looking at the large and small boxes shipped out of the treasury, and couldn't help asking, "What are these boxes?"

One of the soldiers responded bluntly: "Hui Junshi, these are all paper documents related to it before the Mengyuan Prime Minister's Mansion...... Ha, but it's related, but it's actually inconsequential things like the list of soldiers' troops...... This is true of the treasury in both the north and south places - the rooms on the south side contain mostly the names of the soldiers in the city, and the rooms on the north side are mostly weapons and gunpowder......"

"That's ......" Lu Jing muttered to herself, and then asked, "Then have you found any relevant event documents or something?"

"Incident documents?" the soldier asked, not understanding.

"Oh, it's like what the prime minister'......s mansion or the army in the city has planned, or some big and small events that have happened, and finally stored them in the form of documents," Lu Jing patiently explained.

"It should ...... No, right?" the soldier thought for a moment and muttered a few responses, "This is mostly a list of soldiers and munitions, and there can't be any classified documents related to the incident...... However, the backyard is not clear, if the military advisor wants to know, ask the brothers in the backyard, maybe they will know a little......"

"Well, I got it......" Lu Jing nodded, and then left the place. However, looking at the objects taken by the army in the north and south halls, Lu Jing felt a faint uneasiness in her heart......

In the backyard treasury, Tang Zhan inspected the situation of the army as usual......

"General Tang ......" "General Tang ......" Tang Zhan, as the main general, came in person, and the soldiers of the army naturally greeted him with courtesy.

"Ah......" Tang Zhan also nodded in response, his expression was very kind, and he walked to a place where the troops were detained, and personally flipped through some books or storage items from before the Mengyuan Prime Minister's Mansion, but he gained little.

"By the way, what are these things?" Tang Zhan thought about it and couldn't help but ask the soldiers around him.

Soldier 1510 replied, "General Hui, these are some ledgers, and orders that have been abolished or deposed in the city......"

"Are there any relevant edicts issued by the imperial court?" Tang Zhan continued to ask.

"Not yet, General. These documents are all orders and orders from the Bianliang City Prime Minister's Government, and they are only in the city or at the county ......level," the soldier continued.

"That's right......" Tang Strategic said in disappointment......

"General—" At this moment, a soldier's report came from the direction of the stacks on the east side, "We have found a large number of burned documents in the stacks."

"What did you say, it was burned-" Tang Zhan asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes," the soldier continued, "all the documents in the library have been burned to the ground, and not even a single blank sheet of paper can be found, only a pile of ashes remains......

"What's the matter, stupid?" At this moment, Lu Jing hurried over from the front yard, looking at Tang Zhan here as if he had discovered a little, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"The whereabouts of the confidential documents have been found in the library......" Tang Zhan said in a low voice, "but they were all burned, probably before the war began......"

"All ...... It's burned......" Lu Jing also said with a little frustration.

"It seems that Wang Dasheng and they are not stupid, knowing that the city is not guaranteed, and they will not let us get the ......confidential documents of their lifetime until they die," Tang Zhan clenched his fists and said, "Damn, I originally thought that the war was over, and it was too naïve for us to be able to investigate the relevant secrets here in the Prime Minister's Mansion......"

Lu Jing thought about it, and then comforted: "Fool, you don't have to be in a hurry, even if you can't find the relevant secrets, it doesn't matter, we just came to inspect by the way, and it's not a forced task......"

"But ......" Tang Strategy is unwilling.

"It's finally over the battle, the officers and soldiers in the army need to rest, take this side into custody, it's ......better not to bother too much energy," Lu Jing said in a low voice.

"Okay......" Tang Zhan nodded, but still mentioned, "But we can't find it here, it doesn't mean that no one doesn't know - Zuo Junbi surrendered, Wang Gubu was captured, as the two of them who were the former Taishou and Du Wei, would they know the relevant secrets?"

"It's useless...... Lu Jing shook his head and said in disappointment, "Lord Zuo, I asked some questions before the war, but he said that the secrets in the army were in the hands of Wang Dasheng and others, including the kendo conference two years ago, and the military affairs before the Bianliang War, he didn't know anything about it, and Wang Gubu Zatai had been sent to the main army prison camp, even if I knew some news, but the military powerhouse, even us, couldn't easily enter it......"

"In other words, there is no other way, is it......" Tang Zhan still said unwillingly.

"It's really not good, there's one last way, isn't it......" Lu Jing's eyes lit up and said, "Even if we can't know everything, at least one of the secrets, we may know about it-just ask Sister Su herself, she may know one of the secrets two years ago......"

Tang Zhan listened and was silent for a while......

After inspecting for a while, they didn't find any valuable clues, so Tang Zhan and Lu Jing had to continue to look around to see if there were any other discoveries in the courtyard of the Xiangfu......

About an hour, at noon, Tang Zhan may have been a little tired, so he ordered his soldiers to rest for a while, and he sat on the side of the flower bed to recuperate.

"Drink some water, stupid ......" Lu Jing walked up, handed over a kettle, and said cordially.

"Well......" Tang Zhan smiled warmly, and then sat down with Lu Jing, chatting freely while enjoying the rare joy of returning home after the war. From time to time, the two of them also looked around at the flowers and plants in the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about the important military place that they had never entered two years ago, but now they were in it, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts......

However, at some point, Tang Zhan seemed to notice something "abnormal", and his eyes stared straight at the side of the backyard gate.

"What's the matter, stupid?" Lu Jing looked at Tang Zhan's eyes straight, thinking that she had noticed something, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Jing'er, look at that person......" Tang Zhan couldn't help but point, and was heading towards the backyard gate.

"Huh?" Tang Zhan mentioned it, and Lu Jing also turned his head to look - I saw that in the middle of the gate, a person from the rivers and lakes with a sword and martial arts appearance was talking inexplicably to one of Yuan Chong's guards.

"People from the rivers and lakes......" Tang Zhan muttered in a low voice, "Not long after the end of this Bianliang war, which pawn in the rivers and lakes will come to this Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"It seems a little strange...... Lu Jing also said a little strangely, "This dress should be ...... Disciples of the Kongtong Sect ......"

"Kongtong Sect, really yes......" Tang Zhan continued, "It's strange, how could the disciples of the Kongtong Sect be here...... Oh, I remember, when I rescued my sister-in-law from Houshan before, Brother Xiao Tian and I met He Yifan, a disciple of the Kongtong faction, on the way to the road——"

"Who do you say...... He Yifan?-" Lu Jing seemed very sensitive when she heard this name, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, He Yifan, a disciple of the Kongtong faction, is a friend of Brother Xiao Tian near Xiangyang, and it is said that during the march, including saving my sister-in-law, he helped us a lot......" Tang Zhan looked at Lu Jing and couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"

mentioned He Yifan, Lu Jing couldn't help but think of the accident rescue when Zuo Junbi surrendered......

(in recall)......

Xiao Tian remembered last night's "evacuation", and still had some palpitations, seeing that Lu Jing was safe and sound, and realized his promise before the "expedition", he couldn't help but feel at ease: "Last night was really thrilling, and I confronted Wang Dasheng head-to-head again, or when the enemy was outnumbered...... But fortunately, Sister Jing, you are safe, our rescue is really a desperate shot......"

"Thank you......" Lu Jing thanked at first, but then she seemed to have doubts in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "But then again, you guys came too coincidentally, how did you know that our negotiations last night would be in danger, and you arrived in time at the last moment? From here to the pioneer camp, it will take some time to hurry up, if you don't order you in advance, you don't have a reason to come just in time?"

When Xiao Tian heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Didn't you order us to assist you, Sister Jing?"

"When did I give you the order?" Lu Jing also felt more and more strange, and asked back, "I didn't expect that there would be danger last night, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang has never relaxed his 'surveillance' on me these days, and it is inconvenient for me to write a letter to order......

"What, you didn't give the order?" Xiao Tian suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and said with a little worry in his heart, "Who is that, who gave the order?"

"Hey, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" Lu Jing became more and more confused the more she listened, and continued to ask, "Whose order did you receive to lead the troops here?"

"Yes, He ......" As soon as he said the key point, Xiao Tian was stunned.

Not only Xiao Tian, but Nangong Jun and Murong Fei, who were still immersed in their own uneasiness just now, also suddenly woke up - because like Xiao Tian, they also received He Yifan's news order in front of the pioneer camp.

"Sister Jing, ...... I ask you" Xiao Tian's expression changed, and he asked nervously, "Do you know He Yifan?" When Xiao Tian met He Yifan, it happened to be after Lu Jing left the pioneer camp, so if they hadn't met, Lu Jing should not know He Yifan, and he wouldn't know the relationship between himself and He Yifan.

"Who is He Yifan? I haven't heard of it-" Lu Jing said bluntly.

Hearing this, Xiao Tian and the three of them couldn't help but dilute their pupils, and a faint uneasiness turned more and more terrifying, lingering in the hearts of the three of them......

Immediately, Xiao Tian recounted the things about himself and He Yifan in general......

"He Yifan, the disciple of Kongtong appeared around here inexplicably......" Lu Jing held her chin and said in a contemplative whisper, "There is something important, but it is indeed a bit strange to tell you important information several times......

"Hey, Sister Jing......" Xiao Tian was a little uneasy in his heart, but now that he believed what Su Jia had said before, he couldn't help asking, "You said that He Yifan, could it be the enemy's meticulous work?"

Lu Jing shook his head silently, and then said softly: "It shouldn't be, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite to you...... As far as the camp is concerned, I think that He Yifan should be on our side, at least since you know him until now, he has been helping us......"

"But this time it was too strange to tell us that 'the negotiation is difficult'......" Nangong Jun also said on the side, "He doesn't know Sister Jing, why do you lie that you sent us the news?"

"This is also the most incomprehensible to me, and I'm afraid it is also the ......key to the clues of all problems," Lu Jing continued to analyze, "I think, He Yifan doesn't know me, but uses my name to send messages, he will definitely be entrusted by someone, and this person must know me very well, not only knows my name and status, knows my relationship with you, and is not afraid of being detected by me in case of an accident......

"I think He Yifan is at least not a bad person......" Xiao Tian thought for a while and said casually, "Judging from his words and deeds, as a disciple of the Kongtong Sect, his words and deeds are all righteous things, but I don't know why, his actions always make people feel strange and incomprehensible, and even one step ahead of us......"

"Maybe, but at least it's certain that behind He Yifan, there must be more secrets that no one knows......" Lu Jing nodded, and then said, "In short, I will pay more attention to He Yifan's affairs;

"I know......" Xiao Tian, Nangong Jun, and Murong Fei replied at the same time......

(In reality)......

"The war is unpredictable, but this He Yifan has appeared inexplicably a few times, and this time it is other disciples of the Kongtong faction......" Lu Jing seemed to be worried in her heart, and muttered secretly, "Is it really just a coincidence?" I always feel that there is something related to this...... Perhaps, this He Yifan is the key to solving the puzzle of everything......"

"Hey, Jing'er...... Jing'er-" Tang Zhan saw that Lu Jing seemed to be in a daze, and couldn't help shouting a reminder...... (To be continued.) )
