Chapter 1219: Danger in the Hanging Danger (I)

"Take a closer look, the sickbeds and hangings in his camp are ......" He Xunyi said coldly, unhurriedly, "The quilt on the couch is neat, and even the kits for placing weapons and equipment are not messy, obviously they didn't flee in a panic...... Before we attacked the camp, he had left unhurriedly, maybe it was a night patrol, maybe something else...... After all, he is a loyal minister of the imperial court and the commander of the forbidden army in the imperial city, and his quality is undeniable, or we underestimate him too much......"

"Even so, I didn't expect us to raid the camp, and he shouldn't have gone far now......" The cronies continued to ask, "If you just broke through from somewhere else, it should be too late to chase after you now!"

After He Xunyi heard this, he didn't seem so anxious, thinking about the experience of the raid on the camp just now, he couldn't help but secretly said: "The enemy's fortifications are complete and reinforced, and the infantry bows and crossbows are stationed in an orderly manner...... In other words, if the enemy army is in the main camp and I personally lead the team to kill, and the other three sides are encircled, I am afraid that the attack will not be so smooth, so will the king of Chatai take advantage of this time to ......"

"Newspaper-" While he was speculating, a cultist outside the camp suddenly reported coming, "In the direction of the northern camp, the main force of the enemy army has thousands of men and horses, breaking through the encirclement of our army!"

"What, the direction of Beiying didn't stop them?!——" When the cronies heard this, they seemed to be out of their own expectations, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sure enough—" And He Xunyi seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, and did not show a face that was too surprised, and said firmly.

"What are you doing to eat? Our army and sect members are surrounded by thousands of people, and they can't stop a thousand men and horses with good and bad armaments-" The plan to "capture the king" in advance failed, and the cronies and staff officers on the side also rebuked with some indignation.

"Enemy ...... The enemy forces rushed too hard, and they were ...... at all Can't stop it at all......" Looking at the staff officer's fierce expression, the disciple knelt on the ground and cowered, "We didn't expect that they would ...... would break through from Beiying so straightforwardly, completely ...... Not prepared for ......"

"Hmph-" The cronies waved their sleeves to vent their anger, and they were very unhappy when they thought that tonight's great opportunity was wasted like this.

"It was only a moment when our army attacked the camp, and the enemy army was able to be so decisive, gathering the main force of soldiers and horses to break through from the north camp, without making even the slightest entanglement with our army......" He Xunyi thought for a while, and said coldly, "Except for the king of Chatai, the commander of this military camp must be a talented general, who is bold and correct in responding on the spot, recognizing the situation at a glance, and gathering troops to break through without delay......"

Thinking of the "correct response" of the Mengyuan army, He Xunyi unintentionally secretly admired Liang Qing, the main general in the barracks.

"Sect Master, I don't have time to admire the enemy now......" The cronies paused on the side, and then said, "Let them escape in the direction of the northern camp, but there are many people besieging the sect in our department, and they must have suffered great losses.

"You're right-" He Xunyi also calmed his gaze and cut the railroad to the point, "Pass my order, the left column sect will stay in the enemy camp and guard it, and the rest of the people will follow me to pursue the remnants of the enemy in the direction of the north camp!"

"Yes——" Everyone under the tent shouted in unison, just after the completion of the "lightning raid" battle, He Xunyi planned to lead the main force non-stop and continue to pursue the remnants of King Chatai and Liang Qing......

Under the sea of fire at night, the war horses and hooves, the "Mingfu Sect" disciples who had not yet calmed down and relented, continued to march north to chase the "remnants of the army" that Mengyuan broke through and evacuated, and it seemed that waiting for King Chatai and Liang Qing would be a "fatal escape......

The next day, the capital of the capital Tianjing Mansion ......

......On the side of the alley in the north of the city, a black-clothed young man in armor was galloping on a horse--he was Sun Yun, who was "ordered" by the military department's squire You Fang's personal general Kai Lie to come to Tianjing Mansion to investigate the murder of Lord Li Miao. I don't know that all this is the "mastermind" behind the scenes, and at this time, Liang Qing's camp has already been attacked by the followers of the "Ming Fu Sect", and the life and death of his father and general Liang Qing are uncertain......

"Huh-" Sun Yun's expression was also very anxious, thinking that he would quickly finish investigating the case and immediately return to Xicheng to support his father, and after stopping his horse, he flew to the gate of Tianjing Mansion. But Sun Yun also knew in his heart that there seemed to be suspense behind all this, as if someone was manipulating the left and right, and while investigating the case in a hurry, he was always cautious about the development of the situation.

After Li Miao was killed, there were officers and soldiers guarding the Tianjing Mansion at all times, and the atmosphere was extremely serious. After all, the murder of the imperial court official is not a small matter, and in such a tense situation now, the court is extremely panicked.

At the gate of Tianjing Mansion, the officers and soldiers of several county offices were ordered to stand guard, and it was obvious that the mansion was sealed, and ordinary idle people were not allowed to enter.

Sun Yun also understood this truth, and after running up the stairs, he directly showed the palace token he had been carrying, and ordered in a deep voice: "I am Chatai Yun, the second son of Chatai Palace, and I am ordered by Lord You Fang, the squire of the military department, to investigate the murder of Lord Li Miao!"

When an officer and soldier saw it, they didn't think about it, and bluntly refused: "The investigation of the murder case is a matter of the yamen, and there is no invitation from the court, let alone linked to the military department, and the idle people are waiting to go away!"

If it were normal times, Sun Yun would have been resentful, relying on his identity as the son of Chatai, and scolded him. But although Sun Yun was in a hurry today, he could consider things calmly, and after listening to the words of the officers and soldiers, he secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, the yamen side who investigated the murder did not know about the order of Lord Shilang of the military department......

Thinking of this, the suspicion between himself and Liang Qing before leaving couldn't help but come to Sun Yun's heart......

(in recall)......

Lord You sent someone to the camp today to give an order, asking Sun Yun to go and investigate the murder of Li Miao.

"Why did you let me go?" After being surprised, Sun Yun's first reaction when he heard the order was that he immediately asked intently, "Shouldn't it be the business of the Yamen government to investigate the murder case......?" Isn't it ridiculous to let me, a military officer, go back to the city to investigate the case?"

"I only came to tell you on the order of Lord You, and I don't ask the reason...... "Kailie directly refused with a cold face, "I also ask the prince of Chatai to act according to the order, and I can't afford to bear the responsibility for delaying the order of Lord Bingbei——"

Sun Yun didn't speak again, just swallowed his anger and thought quietly......

"Drive-" Outside the camp, Kailie finished his "mission" and immediately drove out of the base camp......

"What do you think?" Kai Lie had been away for a long time, and Liang Qing also felt that something was wrong, looking at Sun Yun's thoughtful appearance, he couldn't help asking.

"It's unbelievable, Lord Li was actually killed-I originally suspected that my father was attacked in the 'Narrow Pass', and he would be the first suspense, but who would have thought that before the truth came out, he would be killed first......" Sun Yun said with anxiety, "And no matter how you investigate the case, it should also be the matter of the Yamen case officer, how could you go all the way to the war-torn Xicheng military camp and let me go back to the city to investigate?"

"Maybe it's because Lord Li has something to do with the ambush of the prince, so he specially ordered Brother Sun Yun to go......," Liang Qing muttered on the side.

"What do you mean?" Sun Yun didn't understand for a while, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"To put it simply, it was Li Miao who ordered the prince to support Xicang, yes, the battle of 'Narrow Ziguan' was attacked, either Li Miao leaked the information, or someone leaked the information from him, in short, it is inseparable from him......," Liang Qing calmly analyzed, "Now that he himself has been killed, and the time between the time of the prince's ambush is almost the same, it will inevitably make people suspicious, what is the connection between eighty percent of this...... It is precisely because of the current turbulent situation in most capitals and the fact that this matter is related to military secrets, so the squire of the military department, You Da, asked the people in the army to investigate this matter, instead of handing it over to the yamen to investigate...... In addition, your brother Sun Yun has a position in the Chatai Palace, and he has experience in handling cases, so I found you......"

"But I don't know Master You, I have only been in the early months since I returned to Chatai Palace, and I have no reputation in the court at all, how could he think of looking for me......" Sun Yun continued to doubt, "Moreover, how did he know that I was under the tent of Brother Liang's military camp, and he found me so quickly, after all, I came here on the 'imperial order' but it was a secret edict, and it stands to reason that no one else should know, and ......" However, when he said this, Sun Yun seemed to think of something terrible, his eyes were stunned, and he couldn't help but think of the "strangeness" that his father told him ......

(In reality)......

"No one knows that I came here to investigate the case on the orders of the squire of the Ministry of War...... Could it be that the instructions given to me by Lord You are fake, but why, what is the purpose...... Sun Yun continued to suspect in his heart, "Or, like Lord Li Miao, it seems that someone is secretly manipulating ...... behind this"

Before Sun Yun could respond to the refusal of the officers and soldiers just now, another officer and soldier standing guard suddenly explained: "That's the token of the Chatai family, I recognize it - although the yamen side has not received an order from the military department to assist in the investigation of the case, but after all, it is the second son of the Chatai family, as long as the emperor does not explicitly prohibit it, the people of the Chatai family have the right to investigate the case......"

"It's ...... to say that." The officers and men just now suddenly hesitated, retracting their "momentum" just now, fearing that if they offended the people of the Chatai family under legal principles, they would not be able to eat and walk around.

But Sun Yun didn't care about these "rules and regulations", and when he heard that the officers and soldiers agreed to let him in, he couldn't help but secretly mutter: "Although the motive is suspicious, it is not an opportunity - this case is full of suspicions, not only involving the lives of court officials, but also related to the war in Xicheng, if you can find out a little bit of detail, maybe you can find the 'real culprit' behind it......"

Thinking of this, Sun Yun made a decision......

"I'm sorry for the prince of Chatai, I didn't know that you came to visit today, and you didn't say hello, so you were slightly offended......" The officers and soldiers on the side were afraid that their words were too heavy just now, so they bowed their heads and asked, "Although it was unknown before, since it was ordered by Lord Lang You of the Ministry of War, I also asked the prince of Chatai to enter the palace to investigate this, and if you need to greet you at any time......"

"Then thank you two and Lord Yamen—" Sun Yun still responded politely, and then rushed to the scene of the crime in the backyard......

Li Miao was killed a few days ago in the night of the mansion, in the study room of the house, although the body has been removed by the official office for many days, but the traces of the murder scene are still preserved. The first moment Sun Yun entered the door, he smelled a faint but familiar smell of blood, and for some reason, before he began to investigate, Sun Yun inadvertently traced a vague outline of the murderer in his mind......

"Lord Li was killed here, right?" Sun Yun calmed down, rushed to the official office beside him, and pointed to the blood stain in front of the bookcase.

"Yes, the son......" The official knew Sun Yun's identity, and he also knew everything, "The murder weapon is a knife, although it is ordinary, it is a fatal knife...... The murderer committed the murder cleanly, he must be a veteran, and the other party is still an official of the imperial court, and he is a trusted confidant of the emperor, but he is ruthless but he doesn't seem to blink his eyes - either he has an enmity with Lord Li, or he has an enmity with the imperial court, at least he doesn't take the imperial court seriously......"

The official analysis was not bad at all, and Sun Yun did not deny it, squatting down and carefully observing everything around him, intending to find a clue.

However, a familiar fragrance came into the nose, although it was very light, the impression was very deep, and the fragrance was elegant and sparse, but it seemed to hide a murderous intention.

The memories in his mind flashed for a moment, Sun Yun seemed to have guessed something, and when he saw an iron hidden weapon along the corner, Sun Yun's mind suddenly exploded in horror......

Sun Yun picked up the hidden weapon, pinched his hand and figured out the shape, his eyes were frightened and stunned, and finally understood the origin of the "fragrance...... When I was in Qingmo Villa, I also smelled such a smell, and then I never forgot it - the secret weapon in my hand was the 'Broken Flower Dart', the weapon of the disciple of the 'Canghuan Sect'.

"What? this can't be—" Sun Yun couldn't help but stand up, his emotions were a little uncontrollable, and suddenly his whole body rushed to his head, and his right hand trembled.

"What's the matter, Son?" The official suddenly heard Sun Yun's inexplicable shout, thinking that he had found something suspicious or frightened by something, and couldn't help but turn around and ask with concern.

Sun Yun didn't pay attention either, he was too panicked just now, and couldn't help blurting out. After calming down, Sun Yun eased his emotions a little, and secretly hid the "broken dart" in his sleeve, as if he didn't want others to see it, and said coldly and perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just ...... Ben Gongzi read the wrong ......"

"Did you see it wrong?" The official was a little uneasy, after all, Sun Yun's expression just now was a little excited, at least he was frightened, and he reacted suddenly.

"Yes, I read it wrong...... Sun Yun nodded, and hurriedly "explained", "I thought it was something terrible, but I realized that I was wrong just now...... There's no fuss, you guys can continue to investigate......"

The official glanced at Sun Yun, and still felt that something was wrong, but after all, the other party was the son of the Chatai family, and he was embarrassed to ask more, since he said "I saw it wrong", he returned to his side and continued to investigate the clues of the murder with his subordinates......

And Sun Yun's side, after "coping with the matter" of these officials, took the "broken flower dart" in his hand and secretly ran out of the study......
