Li Xia said, turned around, walked a few steps, looked at the water of Xiaoyao Lake again, and said slowly: "If that's the case, don't you just need to interrogate this person?"
Lu Fengtai followed up in two steps, stood side by side with Li Xia, looked sideways at his expression, and asked, "Aren't you surprised?"
Li Xia said: "I'm really not surprised. I have made conjectures before and thought it was possible."
"The name of the man I captured is Yang Xiong, and he is a general of the Gao family." Lu Fengtai said: "After they escaped from the north, it was Yang Xiong who settled in the city first. My people only found out a little bit of information when they first came into contact with him.
The leader of the remaining members of the Gao family is Gao Changshou, the nephew of Gao Taixiang of Dali."
"Gao Changshou." Li Xia muttered softly and wrote down the name.
"Yes, Gao Changshou's father is called Gao Taihe. When the Mongolian army invaded Dali, Gao Qinhe led his army to fight the Mongolian army in Jiuhe, Lijiang, and was defeated and died for his country. The battle of Jiuhe is said to be very tragic. We, the Song Dynasty, once sent envoys
The delegation went to Dali to express their condolences. It must be that Gao Changshou had contact with some important ministers of our court at that time, which led to what happened today."
"So Lu Dutou knows these things. Didn't you tell Nie Zhongyu that you don't understand Dali?"
"It is precisely because of this knowledge that I believe that the situation in Dali is irreversible. The Duan family surrendered in fear and the Gao family was almost wiped out. What can a few fish that slipped through the net do? What's more, our dynasty is determined to regain the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but Dali is not the Han and Tang Dynasties.
What does our homeland have to do with our country? Remember, the enemy of our enemy may not be our friend. Gao has always been a powerful official in Dali, and is by no means a good person. He just wants to take advantage of us."
Li Xia nodded and asked, "What else did Yang Xiong recruit?"
"He didn't recruit anything." Lu Fengtai said: "As soon as my man came up with Gao Changshou's name, Yang Xiong saw through it, so we had to take him down, but this guy is a tough guy and wouldn't do anything to recruit him. If it weren't for
You said, I don't even know how many people are on the run."
"So, I do have a way to find the remaining four people."
"any solution?"
"Put a long line to catch big fish." Li Xia said: "You can send someone to pretend to rescue Yang Xiong, contact Gao Changshou and others, and then catch them all."
Lu Fengtai stared at Li Xia again and said nothing.
Li Xia took out the bronze medal from his arms again and said, "I'm not saying let me do it. You can take this bronze medal and do it, and treat it as if my task has been completed. Arrange a good one for me."
As for the way out, it’s better for me to end it here.”
Lu Fengtai still did not take away the bronze medal, but said: "This method is not as simple as it sounds. Not only must we win the trust of Yang Xiong, we must also win the trust of Gao Changshou. If there is any flaw and Yang Xiong gets the opportunity to commit suicide, all my efforts will be wasted."
"All right."
"Keep the token so that Nie Zhongyou doesn't get suspicious."
Li Xia said: "That's right."
Lu Fengtai added: "If we want to use this plan, you are the best candidate. Gao Changshou is probably observing secretly. He may have seen you entering the city, seeing Nie Zhongyou being monitored, and seeing the people on the street today.
It’s a farce... Then only you can gain their trust most easily.”
Li Xia said: "But you may not trust me. If I were in another position, it would be difficult for me to let you do this."
"It's not that I can't trust you." Lu Fengtai said, "It's just that I have to think about it. In short, it's better to be cautious about this matter."
"You think about it."
"I'll call you tomorrow."
Li Xia said: "By the way, after this is done, will I have a house in Luzhou City? One where I can take a bath and change clothes. You see, I'm already rotten."
Lu Fengtai smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will happen..."
~~
The next day, when the sky was dark, Lu Fengtai sat in the teahouse again.
He drank the first cup of tea in the morning, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Xia in the guest house in the distance doing a few stretching movements and going out for a morning jog again.
After Li Xia left, another caravan guard came out to move around for a while and walked out of the inn.
Not long after, the caravan guard was taken to the teahouse.
"Lu Dutou is so elegant."
"You won't be suspected by Nie Zhongyou when you come out, right?"
"My companion and I said we were out to buy breakfast."
Lu Fengtai added: "I have a few questions to ask you, please tell the truth."
"Don't worry, Lu Dutou. When I sneaked into the northbound team this time, my superiors told me that we can't let them do whatever they want to do to undermine the peace talks."
"That's good. Let me ask you, what did Li Xia say to Nie Zhongyou when he returned to the inn last night?"
"Nie Zhongyou asked Li Xia where he went, and Li Xia said he went out for a walk. Nie asked him what the result was, and Li Xia said those people were too careful. Nie sighed."
"What about at night?" Lu Fengtai asked, "What did they say again?"
"Someone checked out of the inn and left a few rooms. Li Xia asked for a separate room and didn't speak to Nie the whole night."
"Do you think these two people trust each other?"
"I don't see the trust. Li Xia was handcuffed before crossing the Yangtze River. He was only reused by Nie after Jiang Xing's death. However, they had no friendship. Nie also secretly told Lin Zi to keep an eye on Li Xia...
"
After Lu Fengtai finished talking to this man, he sat for a while and watched people coming and going in the inn in the distance.
Until Feng Sheng came over and said, "I asked, and the white-haired rat said the same thing. After Li Xia returned to the inn, he indeed only said those few words to Nie Zhongyou."
"How does the white-haired rat evaluate the friendship between Li Xia and Nie Zhongyou?"
"If you say yes, Nie Zhongyou will only kidnap people's parents and threaten them. Who is worth risking their lives for him?"
After Feng Sheng finished speaking, he added: "By the way, Nie Zhongyou got up just now and seemed to be ill. He asked Feng Miaoshou to see him."
Lu Fengtai tilted his head, his eyes focused, he thought for a long time, suddenly smiled, and said to himself: "I see, I mean, why would a person like him leave things to Li Xia..."
"Tou?"
"Where is Li Xia?"
"Fan San is leading people to follow."
"Ask Li Xia to meet me at Feilou. Be careful not to be seen when telling him..."
~~
Fei Lou is a restaurant in Luzhou City.
Lu Fengtai first went to the private room on the second floor to meet Fan San.
"What did Li Xia do today?"
"He went to the carpentry shop in the east of the city and ordered some things."
"Carpentry shop?"
Fan San said: "Yes, I asked the carpenter that Li Xia wants to order a large bathtub, with a hole underneath for water, and two slots above for water, one is a hot water tank, and the other is a cold water tank..."
Lu Fenglu listened tirelessly to these trivial matters.
After a while, Li Xia avoided others and entered the private room.
Lu Fengtai pointed at the sumptuous dishes on the table and said, "I know you like meat and vegetables, so I specially ordered Feilou's most famous roasted mutton."
Li Xia was not polite, sat down gracefully, picked up chopsticks and started eating.
Lu Fengtai said: "Nie Zhongyou doesn't trust you. It seems that he has left the matter of contacting Gao Changshou to you and arranged for Nie Ping to cover you. But in fact, he plans to handle this matter himself."
"He can do it by himself? I have all the tokens of contact with him, so how can he do it by himself?"
"But Gao Changshou didn't contact you because of the token." Lu Fengtai said: "It means Gao Changshou is a smart man. When he sees you taking out the token, he will definitely check your background. Then Nie Zhongyu can
Contact him alone."
"how do you know?"
"Nie Zhongyou met a doctor in the city today, named Feng Miaoshou. This man used to be our military doctor. Do you understand? He just used you to confuse his vision. The only person he trusts is himself."
Li Xia said: "It's a pity that you have the better plan. He just wants to find Feng Miaoshou, and you guessed him right."
"It's not that I'm smart, it's just that I'm a local snake." Lu Fengtai said with emotion.
He had some regrets, regretting that Nie Zhongyou could always avoid the spy of the peace negotiators, but this time his stance was different and there was nothing he could do about it.
Lu Fengtai added: "The difference between Nie Zhongyou and me is that I can trust others more."
Li Xia had picked up the last piece of roasted mutton, chewed it slowly, rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Lu Dutou really treats people better than Nie Zhongyu."
"Finished?"
"I've finished eating, thank you."
"I'll take you to see Yang Xiong." Lu Fengtai said, "We will follow your plan and take a long-term approach to catch big fish."
"Do you believe me?"
Lu Fengtai nodded and said sincerely: "I said that I admire you very much and trust you..."
