When we returned to Dali Temple, it was already dusk.
Most of the officials in Dali Temple had gone home. When Wu Chengsi, Zheng Lingxuan and Han Cheng came to the outer hall, they saw Zhugenan sitting on a chair with a frustrated look on his face. Wu Chengsi frowned and asked: "What's wrong?
Did the interrogation not go well?"
Zhugenan glanced at him secretly and whispered: "Wu Shaoqing, I, I seem to have arrested the wrong person!"
"Could it be that they are not Koreans?" Zheng Lingxuan asked in surprise.
"They are Koreans, but there are no Baekje or Khitan people. According to their confessions, they are just the subordinates of King Anwon." Zhuge Nan looked at his toes and said.
Wu Chengsi was silent.
"Are they lying to you?" Zheng Lingxuan frowned.
"Tie San took action himself, and everyone's confessions are the same, so there should be no mistake." Zhuge Nan lowered his eyes and said.
"Who is Iron Three?"
"He is the founder of Dali Temple and the best interrogator in our Dali Temple. He invented many torture instruments." Zhugenan replied while secretly looking at Wu Chengsi's face.
Seeing that Wu Chengsi didn't speak for a long time, Zhuge Nan walked up to Wu Chengsi, lowered his head and said, "Wu Shaoqing, you can scold him if you want. It's all my fault this time. I should investigate more clearly before taking action."
Wu Chengsi smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing. Just learn from this lesson and don't make the same mistake next time."
"Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry? At least you have captured a group of Koreans. It can only be said that the credit is not that great." Wu Chengsi said warmly.
Zhuge Nan tilted his head and said with a flat mouth: "Don't hide it from me. My adoptive father just called me and scolded me. He said that suddenly many officials in the court reported to Her Majesty the Queen to impeach you. It was probably because of
It’s because of these people I arrested.”
Zheng Lingxuan and Han Cheng looked at Wu Chengsi at the same time, seeing his calm expression, they already knew it.
Zheng Lingxuan guessed that Xu Jingzong must have taken action, and asked anxiously: "What happened next?"
Wu Chengsi also looked at Zhuge Nan, wondering what Wu Mei's attitude was.
"The foster father said that the queen had withheld all the memorials, so no one dared to submit any more memorials."
Zheng Lingxuan felt relieved and asked, "Wu Shaoqing, what should we do next?"
Wu Chengsi touched his chin and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's weird?"
"If all Zhuge Si Cheng catches are small fish and shrimps, why is Xu Jingzong's reaction so big?"
Zhugenan was stunned and exclaimed: "Yes, is there anyone important among those people? Otherwise, I will go find Tie San again and ask him to torture these bastards again?"
"It's useless if you continue to torture me." Zheng Lingxuan glanced at him, turned to look at Wu Chengsi and said, "Xu Jingzong's big reaction must be because of the Korean who was poisoned, right?"
Wu Chengsi secretly praised and nodded: "That's right, so we just need to wait now. When the Korean wakes up, I believe we will gain something!"
"Then should I continue to hunt down the Baekje and Khitan people?" Zhugenan asked cautiously.
Wu Chengsi said solemnly: "Of course it is necessary. The murders committed by the Khitans cannot be dismissed easily. And if their leader can be caught, Xu Jingzong may be able to get new evidence of his crimes!"
…
There are eleven city gates in Chang'an City, corresponding to eleven streets.
Yanxing Gate is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City. On the street leading to Yanxing Gate, a group of Dahe Prairie people disguised themselves as common people and followed a group of carriages.
This is the cavalry of King Li Dan of Yin. Dahe Grassland decided to kidnap Li Dan and escape from the city.
"Brother Mo, if we do this this time and narrowly escape death, will you blame me?" Dahe Grassland said to the man in black behind him.
"No matter what the leader wants to do, Brother Mo will follow him to the death, but my subordinates don't understand why you chose to kidnap the prince of Tang Dynasty?" Brother Xiao Mo frowned.
Dahe Grassland was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I predict that Yuan Nanchan's plan will not succeed. Sooner or later, the Tang Kingdom and the Koryo Kingdom will have a war. At that time, the Tang Kingdom will definitely ask me, the Khitan, to send troops together. What do you think the chief will do?"
"The big leader may agree." Brother Xiao Mo whispered.
Dahe Grassland said coldly: "Yes, when the time comes, I, the Khitan warrior, will charge into battle for the Tang people. I will never let this happen."
"My subordinates understand that by kidnapping the Tang prince, you want to create discord between Tang and the chief, and prevent the Khitans from sending troops!"
Dahe Grassland sighed: "Originally, I helped the Koreans to prevent this war, but unfortunately it backfired. In order to prevent the warriors from dying in vain, this is the only way I can think of. We Khitans should only fight for ourselves.
, it’s just you…”
Another Khitan man said: "Chief, don't say anything. You are the real leader of our Khitan people. Your subordinates are willing to die!"
Dahe Prairie looked behind him and saw that everyone was looking at him. There was no cowardice in his eyes. He said happily: "Very good. If the hijacking succeeds later, that would be the best. If it fails..."
Having said this, he looked at Brother Xiao Mo: "We must not all die here. Brother Mo, your martial arts are the best. I hope you can escape alone and then return to Libu to assist my son and let him
Lead the Khitan people to become stronger!"
Brother Xiao Mo took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand."
Dahe Grassland threw the futou on his head to the ground and shouted: "Do it."
Following the order, a group of Khitan people rushed towards Li Dan's carriage. The guards guarding the carriage quickly reacted and came towards them, fighting with them.
People on the street ran around in panic and hid on the street corners. Some people who could not evade were injured.
Li Dan's accompanying bodyguards were all elites from the palace, and most of them were cavalry wearing armor. Although the Khitans were brave and brave, they could not make up for the huge gap in equipment, and within a short time, more than half of them were killed or injured.
While they were fighting, a burst of shouting came from West Street. Dahe Prairie turned around and saw a group of Dali Temple officials running towards the corner of the street. The leader was a young man.
He was distracted for a moment and was hit by an arrow in his shoulder. He expected that the assassination would be impossible. He was about to let Brother Xiao Mo escape when he suddenly saw a young man less than twenty years old walking out of the carriage.
Dahe Grassland thought to himself: "Although this boy is young, his eyes have the majesty of a superior. He must be King Li Dan of Yin!" He shouted: "Brother Mo!"
Brother Xiao Mo understood this, jumped up and rushed towards Li Dan. The guards around Li Dan immediately gathered in front of him to block him. Many guards also loaded their bows and shot arrows at Brother Xiao Mo in the air.
Brother Xiao Mo waved his sword to deflect the long arrows one by one, put his foot on the head of a guard, and moved closer to Li Dan.
At this moment, an iron rope wrapped around one of his legs. Brother Xiao Mo quickly turned his head and cut off the chain with a knife. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his arm. When he turned around, he saw that one of his arms had been cut off.
The one who cut off his arm was a man in white. Brother Xiao Mo roared in pain and swung his swords in front of him several times, but the man in white blocked them all. He was also kicked in the chest and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
.
He reacted very quickly. As soon as he landed on the ground, he rolled over and dodged several spears.
Standing up with the support of his long sword, Brother Xiao Mo stared at the man in white. The man was standing next to his broken arm, holding a bloody long sword in his hand, staring at him coldly.
"Brother Mo, run away!" Dahe Grassland shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, another arrow hit his knee.
Dahe Prairie pulled out the arrow from his leg. At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He looked up and saw Li Dan running toward him on horseback with a gun.
He was so badly injured that he had no time to react. With a pop, the spear pierced his chest. Moreover, Li Dan did not stop after stabbing him. With the help of the momentum, he pinned him to the ground and continued to slide, leaving traces on the ground.
A long bloodstain.
"His Royal Highness King Yin, please stay alive!" Zhugenan shouted from a distance.
Li Dan pulled out the spear, glanced at Zhugenan, showed a cold smile, stretched his arm forward, and pierced the throat of Dahe Prairie with the tip of the spear.
The leader of the Li tribe, Dahe Grassland, died like this.
