Chapter 230: The Culprit

Jinan Mansion.

Holding a fishing rod in his hand, Boyan was in a leisurely and leisurely manner, but he was sitting on the bank of the river, quietly fishing for fish.

Huai Du next to him was slightly unhappy and asked: "Marshal, now that the soldiers are fighting outside, do you have the leisure to fish here? Don't you think that such an act is an insult to the soldiers?"

Although he knew that the person in front of him was a popular person who was close to the Khan, but under the indignation of Huaidu, it was difficult to accept Boyan's attitude, and it was also because he knew that the other party would not blame, so he would tell like this.

Boyan chuckled, "Oh, what do you think I should do?"

β€œ......”

Huaidu was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Just wait. After all, soon there should be big fish coming up. ”

Boyan's gaze fell on the fish mark again, and he didn't make any movement.

At this moment, a herald came from outside the house. Na Huaidu hurriedly stepped forward and fetched the letter he had sent.

"What's written on this?"

Boyan's voice came from a distance, Huaidu untied the letter, was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a little annoyance: "It's from Gezi Jinming, Busy Wutai and Li Heng." ”

"Is it about the Handan rebels?" Boyan asked.

After Zhang Hongfan led the army, Boyan did not stop moving, and naturally sent three people, Jin Ming, Busy Wutai, and Li Heng, to lead 6,000 men and horses to Handan, wanting to wipe out all the rebels in Handan City.

Huaidu closed his head and replied, "That's right. It was the Handan rebels. With a sad look on his face, he said, "It's just themβ€”"

"Failed?"

Without waiting for Huai to tell, Boyan opened his mouth and replied as if he already knew.

Huaidu nodded, with a little unwillingness: "That's right." Just three days before the arrival of our troops, the other side left Handan City and retreated to the southeast of Hedong Road. But this action, we should have deliberately hidden, why was it discovered by the other party?"

"What do you think?"

Boyan snorted lightly, the fishing rod in his hand moved suddenly, and a big fish was directly pulled out, and the tail of the fish kept swinging, as if he was a little unwilling.

Huaidu was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Marshal, do you mean that there are spies from the Red Phoenix Army in the city?"

"That's pretty much. Otherwise, why are they able to grasp our movements in such a timely manner?" Bo Yan seemed to have foreseen it, and some worry appeared on his face: "It seems that the Red Phoenix Army finally can't bear it anymore and wants to do it?"

Huai Du felt anxious and asked, "Then marshal, why don't you send someone to pursue you? If you let them join the Chifeng Army, I'm afraid that the Hebei Road may not belong to us!"

Everyone knows that the Red Phoenix Army has always been ambitious for the Central Plains, and it is absolutely impossible to give up this opportunity.

"Of course I do. Only now, it's too late. Boyan shook his head, and instructed again: "You let them be stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion and pay attention to the movements in the North River Road." Remember, you can't attack without my orders. Got it?"

Huai was puzzled, and asked again: "Don't attack?

"Have you forgotten? Now that the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty is imminent, isn't it for others to steal the evidence that our army left this place without authorization?" Boyan's eyes lit up, he waited for Huaidu to glance at him, and continued to complain in a reproachful voice: "In order for us to continue to stand in this Central Plains, only one or two roads are not enough to worry about. ”

"I'll understand. ”

Huaidu was deeply angry, and in this understatement, the territory they had seized by tens of thousands of soldiers in the past was given to the Chifeng Army in vain, and the pain was really unbearable.

But for the sake of the overall situation, it can only be accepted.

Boyan instructed again: "Of course." If that's it, it won't show my means. Tell me, do you know who the one who stole our secrets is?"

"This, please forgive me for my incompetence, I don't know about it for the time being. ”

Huai Du leaned down and apologized.

"No problem. Boyan replied: "Since that person would do such a thing, naturally he will not continue to stay in this Jinan Mansion, waiting to be discovered." And Zhang Hongfan's side should have some results. The Khan blessed him and asked him to build a naval army as soon as possible. After all, if we want to defeat the Song Dynasty, we must defeat the opponent's naval army, and only in this way can we succeed. Do you understand?"

"The subordinates understand. ”

Huai didn't say anything, so he closed his head and retreated.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the other side, when Zhang Hongfan learned about Dengzhou, he immediately became angry.

"Who is it that dares to ruin my plan?"

Although he prides himself on being a humble gentleman, when Zhang Hongfan heard the news, he was like a roaring lion, just wanting to catch the culprit of all this a long time ago and kill him.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. ”

Li Ting bent down, a little fear on his face.

That Xie Ru was an official in the same hall with them, and he was actually in his own station, and he was beheaded by that person, so it can be seen that the strength of that person is not low, at least he can be sure that except for Zhang Hongfan, the rest of the people here are not this person's opponents.

Zhang Hongfan snorted lightly, still angry: "Even so, even if I step to the ends of the earth, I will catch that guy." ”

β€œ......”

Everyone was silent, this was a good thing, but if the other party fled to the Red Phoenix Army or the Southern Dynasty, what could they do?

Zhang Hongfan also understood that this was just a bluff, so he ordered: "Since that person dares to do this kind of thing, he should have been prepared for it, otherwise he will definitely not find out my purpose and do this kind of thing! If this is the case, then the other party should still be lurking in the Central Plains, as long as we look carefully, we should be able to find that person." ”

"General. In that case, you might as well leave this matter to me. How?" Yue Cun stepped out and pleaded.

Zhang Hongfan immediately replied: "Very good." Then I'll leave the matter to you. Remember, no matter what the cost, you have to find that person, you know?"

"Of course!"

If you say categorically, it represents Yue Cun's determination.

After receiving the order, he immediately came to Dengzhou with his army and began to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Letting the locals take him to the place where he was discovered, Yue Cun began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, hoping to find some clues from it: "When the steam turbine was placed here, was it here?"

The entire warehouse has been completely destroyed because of the explosion, so in order to avoid destroying the site, I know that it has not been renovated now.

"Huh?"

Stepping into it, Yue Cun stared at those parts, and then showed a hint of joy: "It seems that the reason why this thing is broken should be caused by someone who thought that it was a great repair, and the shell of the Imperial Sword was broken. ”

"Why?"

The local governor Yin Zhangmo asked.

"If it is caused by ordinary people, then it should be impossible for such sharp marks to exist on this boiler, and only those who have cultivated to the highest level can use the great cultivation to cause such scars. ”

Yue Cun pointed to the parts in front of him and murmured: "And these parts are all radial. If you were close, there would have been traces, but there would have been no traces. It can be seen that the man must have achieved such an effect with the art of Edgeworth. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, then the other party's identity is greatly narrowed. Zhang Mo continued to ask.

Yue Cun hesitated slightly, but said, "Indeed." But there are only a few people in my court who can have such cultivation and are more proficient in the art of the sword. Could it really be him?" A figure appeared in his mind, but he was a little scared.

After all, that person has a great kindness to him.

If this is the case, wouldn't that be the death of the other party?

With inexplicable emotions in his heart, Yue Cun returned to the mansion, but saw that there was a person waiting for him in the mansion.

"In Xia Pu Shougeng, meet the general!"

Pu Shougeng stood up and bowed.

Yue Cun hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Are you a merchant of the Southern Dynasty that Xie Ru found?"

"It's about General Xie's death. Pu Shou Geng replied loudly.

Yue Cun asked, "Oh, what news do you have?"

"I don't dare to take the news seriously. It's just that I was also at the scene when General Xie died, so I was lucky enough to see the murderer!" Pu Shou Geng replied loudly.

"A murderer?" Yue Cun continued to ask, "Then can you tell me who that person is?"

Pu Shougeng immediately replied: "Of course you can." It's just that ......" has a greed on his face again, and he has already made this a business.

"Just what?" Yue Cun was a little impatient and shouted in a low voice.

Pu Shougeng was stunned for a moment, and then showed a little smile, rubbed his left thumb and index finger together, and said with a smile: "Of course it's this." In this way, the general will not only be able to account for his errands with the marshal, but I will also be able to receive some favors. Isn't it a win-win

"Humph!"

Seeing the other party's virtue, Yue Cun's face flushed, he stood up suddenly, and opened his mouth to shout: "You are really disgusting, you want to use this matter to gain benefits?

Pu Shougeng was stunned, feeling as if he had done something wrong.

He argued, "What's the matter with you? If you don't agree, then you can say no, so why be so angry?" As he spoke, he wanted to leave here.

"Oh, do you think you'll be able to get out unharmed?"

Yue Cun sneered, and Pu Shougeng's feet immediately stopped, with a little surprise on his face.

"General, what do you mean by that?" Keenly aware that something was wrong, Pu Shougeng looked at Yue Cun with surprise.

Yue Cun put his hands behind his back, and with a long roar, dozens of soldiers broke in with guns in hand, and the black muzzles of the guns were aimed at Pu Shougeng, and shouted: "You secretly killed our generals in order to be greedy for money, do you think I don't know? Today, pay for the lives of the soldiers in our army." ”

"It's just to make some money, why did you make so many things?"

Pu Shougeng was also very surprised, and secretly began to regret why he was greedy for money and made such a move.
