Yumen Pass is the westernmost part of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the last stop of Gao Zhong and Shaoyuan's westward journey. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the eve of going back, after calming Xiaoyue to sleep, Shaoyuan came to the still brightly lit room of the high pet. After drinking that day, Gao Pet stayed in the room for several days and did not come out, until the evening, when Gao Pet suddenly said that it was time to go back. Then he disappeared again in front of everyone's eyes.
With questions in his heart, Shao Yuan decided to ask Gao Chong, and it just so happened that Gao Chong lit up the lights as if waiting for them. Shaoyuan didn't knock on the door, but directly pushed the door into Gao Chong's room.
Seeing Shaoyuan break into his room, Gao Chong was not surprised at all, and even said, "I'm still wondering when Shaoyuan will come to my room."
Shaoyuan was really unkind, so he sat down, "Then you know what I think, right?"
Gao Pet shook his head, "I don't know, so Shaoyuan, you still say it, what do you want to ask me, just ask"
Shaoyuan rolled his eyes, "What have you been doing in the room these two days, why don't you leave the room?"
Gao Pet said flatly, "I'm sick"
Shaoyuan spat out a mouthful of water, and replied very normally, but very abnormally, "Are you sick?"
Gao Pet nodded, "Yes, I don't adapt to the water and soil, I've been tired all the way, so I can take a comfortable rest here, and I'll be sick as soon as I rest, please...... Shaoyuan, I'm a real southerner, I was born in the south."
Shaoyuan nodded convincingly, "Then you have been lying in bed for the past few days and have not done anything?"
Gao Pet shook his head, "That's not it, I also read two letters, memorized the gap in grain and grass, and by the way, I asked someone if there was a caravan to go out to hire people."
Shaoyuan's eyes sharpened, and sure enough, Gao Chong didn't rest at all, restless people are restless no matter what the situation, so he asked, "What did you find?"
Gao Zhong stretched out his finger and said little by little, "First, there is a shortage of 30,000 stone of grain, for the entire Northwest Army, the number is not large, a normal shortage, and second, no one hires a large-scale caravan to go out, and it is normal to be tight"
As soon as Shaoyuan heard the word 'normal', his interest immediately decreased, but he immediately realized that I was afraid that this normality was not normal at all, but he didn't speak, this kind of thing, Gao Zhong can say it alone.
Gao Zhong saw that Shaoyuan didn't plan to say it, so he said, "The following guesses are, first, someone transported grain out, second, someone transported tea out, third, this person is very strong and is not afraid of being robbed, and fourth, maybe this person himself is a robber and does not need to ask for bodyguards"
Shao Yuan knew what Gao Zhong was referring to, his strength was very great, and he was so obviously ironic, but the robber mentioned later instantly made Shao Yuan's heart go up his throat, and what he was referring to in the back was simply shocking news, even if it was a guess, it was also the most dangerous guess, so Shao Yuan had to say, "Ah Pet, how sure are you about this?"
Gao Pet had a gloomy face, "The former is seventy percent, and the latter is forty percent, but if Shaoyuan's plan succeeds, everything will fall into place immediately, I hope it's not the result I imagined."
Shaoyuan suddenly remembered, "What about the Ma family?
Gao Pet shook his head, "This is Ah Lin is in charge, according to the time, he should start acting, we should go back Ah Lin will have information for us"
Shaoyuan frowned and said, "Northwest Liangzhou, will the earth shake the mountains, right?"
Gao Pet nodded, "No matter how careful we are, this action is comparable to digging up the foundation of a century-old uncle, what we can do is to minimize the loss as much as possible."
In addition to the two sleepless people in the westernmost part of the Han Dynasty, there are also several sleepless people among the Han Dynasty.
In the imperial study, the emperor was banging on the desk, obviously this problem was very tricky, he directly invited his master Sancai old man, senior brother Gao Zheng, and junior brother Dugulin to the imperial study.
As the youngest in rank and official position, Dugu Lin naturally has the obligation to report the information in front of him to several great gods through oral narration. Dugu Lin arched his hand and took out the information in his hand, "The letter from the White Tiger Hall said that Zhang Situ has recently received a lot of treasures through unknown channels, and these treasures are rare in the Central Plains, and it is initially speculated that the treasures from the caravan of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are revealed. The informants who have been planted in various places in Qinglongtang have recently had a lot of unknown actions from the Ma family, but because the Ma family has done a very good job of secrecy, it is impossible to find out the specific content. Xiaguan recently went deep into Xiliang and also obtained information that the people of the Ma family were related to the destruction of a village at the end of last year, and the village that was destroyed was Shaoyuan's village. The methods are extremely cruel, and it seems that there is some ulterior secret. And the Ma family had already taken refuge in the King of the City a few years ago, so it is very likely that this matter is inextricably linked to the King of the City."
The three great gods looked at the surface, all of them were unmoved, but their hearts had already fluctuated, the reason was that the involvement was too wide, from the perspective of the old man of the three talents, his friend actually died at the hands of conspiracy and trickery, and in his heart he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what. And Shaoyuan is now rooted in Chaisang, and has a close relationship with Gao Chong, which can be regarded as the status of half of the Gao family. And the emperor thought more, the apprentice he accepted at that time actually had such a big deal, this master could not ignore it, and it seemed that the brother who had been divided into peace and security had also become restless at this time, and it was necessary to beat and beat through this matter.
The three bigwigs glanced at each other, they were all in their thirties and forties, and they could immediately reach a consensus.
The old man Sancai closed his eyes and said leisurely, "Take my handwritten message, ask Ding Jian Ge Tian Wei to talk, let him send you some manpower, how to use your own business, Suzaku Hall can also bring the whole over, this matter, check it to death! If you can't find a result that satisfies us, don't come back."
Gao Zheng said, "Tomorrow I will go to the Dingyuan Dart Bureau to get some dart master clothes, and when I get to the northwest, I just need to find my four sons to help, and I think he will also help."
The emperor finally said slowly, "The protégé of the Son of Heaven, Lu Shaoyuan, has a long wind blade as the golden sword, and he will behead the prince and grandson, and the corrupt officials will be warned, and the right to be cut first and then played will be granted." Senior brother, I don't care about the others, but this imperial brother, if I am involved, I must see the living imperial brother enter Luoyang, understand?"
Dugu Lin immediately returned the salute with a bow, "The minister understands"
Gao Zheng then gave his hand, "Your Majesty, this matter may be greatly implicated, if you want to end this matter without moving your muscles and bones, I am afraid it is impossible, therefore, the minister suggests that you prepare in advance"
The emperor nodded, "Senior brother, what you said is reasonable, then let's discuss it next, how to minimize the loss, junior brother, you also stay, you need to take care of the affairs of the northwest."
