It is also raining in Huainan, the sky is hazy, and the raindrops form lines.
"So you're the only one coming back?"
In the mansion, Huainan King Liu An looked at Tian You who looked depressed.
"Yes, that team suddenly rushed out. Our people were without armor and were scattered. Most of them were killed and a few were captured."
Tian You responded: "If it were not forced by the situation at that time, the only way to have a chance to continue to serve your Majesty would be to escape. I will fight to the death, and my brave general will also fight to the death."
"A few were captured..."
Liu An also felt awe-inspiring in his heart. Chang'an had obviously already known what he was planning.
"If you were given equal strength and armor, would you be confident that you could fight against that team?"
Tian You slightly raised his generous chin: "Naturally."
"You go first."
After Tian You left the ceremony, Liu An pondered for a moment and wrote on a blank bamboo slip: "What do you think?"
A response quickly appeared on the bamboo slips, and the handwriting emerged from the void: "Are you still hesitating? Have you ever thought that since Chang'an knows your plan, it will never let you go. You have been waiting for many years. If you miss the opportunity again, you will never
Opportunity.
Instead of waiting for Chang'an to be ready and raising troops to attack, it is better to take the initiative."
The handwriting is bright and dim: "Chang'an's actions are becoming more and more intense day by day, and they have targeted you in Huainan. The surrounding counties and counties are also under their thorough investigation."
The King of Huainan wrote: "How could I not have known that there were already corresponding arrangements?"
"We have been planning for so long and have conducted many deductions. The time is already ripe. What's more, if you make any moves and the Han Dynasty is in chaos, the Huns will take the opportunity to send troops south to help you.
Your real arrangements in Beiguan have not yet been discovered. If the delay continues and they eliminate all your arrangements bit by bit, it will be too late!"
The King of Huainan stared at the last handwriting on the slip, and then looked out the window, with an inexplicable sense of solemnity in his expression.
The rain beats on the window lattice.
Huo Qubing was followed by Song Ran, who was holding an umbrella, and walked into the tower and came to Ru Bohu.
There is also a giant man in the tower wearing black clothes and light armor, with a body as strong as an iron tower, and is a head taller than Huo Qubing.
This man is the deputy commander-in-chief under the Secret Intelligence Service.
A few days ago, Huo Qubing and Qin Qingyu led the 60 Imperial Guards to clear out the courtyard. The person who was ambushing the whole group was the deputy commander-in-chief.
Another secret agent commander, Shi, has been killed by Ru Bohu himself. It is said that she is a woman and she seems to have a special relationship with Ru Bohu.
Huo Qubing could imagine that Ru Bohu must have hated the person who secretly wrote the book.
The loss caused by him to the secret agent is difficult to estimate.
There may still be a tail that has not been dug out.
"Cao Qiao has met Huo Hou!"
The giant man who looks like an iron tower is called Cao Ciao. He is cunning and cunning. He cultivates miscellaneous skills, is proficient in various methods, and has many miraculous arts.
Ru Bohu's face was solemn, and there was a row of bamboo slips placed on the low mat in front of him.
Huo Qubing sat down next to him and picked up the brief letter handed over by Ru Bohu.
"After we met last time, I sent people to start arresting the twelve suspects listed before, and something went wrong during the arrest."
Ru Bohu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Read this brief book first."
On the front page of the simple book in Huo Qubing's hand, there is the word "Chao Cuo" written on it.
"What does this have to do with Chao Cuo?" Huo Qubing asked unexpectedly.
Chao Cuo was a minister during the late emperor's period. He was very talented and advocated the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business. However, he proposed to reduce the vassal status and deprive the political privileges of the princes and kings to consolidate the centralization of power, which harmed the interests of the princes.
Later, during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the princes rebelled, and the slogan was "Execute Chao Chao and clear the emperor's side."
Emperor Jing followed Yuan Ang's plan and cut Chao Cuo in half in Dongshi.
"It is recorded in the case files in my secret investigation that when Chao Cuo was cut in half, the sky was stained with blood and the wind was strong, as if it was an ominous sign. His body disappeared mysteriously after being cut in half, and there was no trace of it."
Ru Bohu's eyes were far-reaching: "There is another theory that Chao Cuo's body was swallowed up by a green flame and burned to death."
"The secret investigation order means that Chao Cuo had a writer at that time? He also participated in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion?" Huo Qubing said.
Ru Bohu shook his head slightly: "The writer may be a kind of inheritance. The writer at that time and the writer now may not be the same person. But if these signs match up, it means that there is always a force in the dark." p>
He added: "The novelist Yu Yao whom we suspected before is in Luoyang. I will send someone to arrest him.
The twelve secret agents who captured him, including a commander in charge of all affairs in Luoyang, all died in the end, and no one was spared."
Ru Bohu drew a scarlet mark on the bamboo slip given to Huo Qubing where Yu Yao's name was:
"It is now certain that there must be something wrong with this person.
Huo Hou said last time that the author was pushing others to do things for him. It is difficult to find clues from one person. It seems to be true.
After Yu Yao was hunted down by my spy, he killed the spy who went to catch him, and then disappeared from Luoyang without a trace."
"Where is his son Yu Chu?"
"His son went to Nanhai County. My secret agents chased him to Nanhai County, but so far he has not been found."
"Yu Yuan was able to kill twelve secret reconnaissance guards in a row without leaving any one alive. It's so impressive. Not only is there a problem, but his identity is probably not simple either."
Huo Qubing said: "Do you suspect that he is the author?"
"At least part of the writer!
I looked through the files and found that this person has been hiding in Chang'an for more than ten years. Even if he is not the author, a chess piece can be managed for so many years, which shows its importance. He may even be one of the people playing chess."
Ru Bohu said: "That Yu Yao claims to be secretive, but I have found traces of his whereabouts."
"I compared a total of thirty-one records in Luoyang that required officials to attend. This Yu Yao has never appeared in public together with Li Qing, the chief registrar under the command of Luoyang. Some other signs can also support my judgment.
”
Huo Qubing: "The secret investigation order means that Yu Yaoming disappeared on the surface, but actually used another identity and is still in Luoyang."
It is very difficult for a person to have two identities in one place at the same time.
But if it involves the writer, this difficulty becomes logical.
Ru Bohu said: "Yes, if you lie dormant in one place for many years, there will be traces left behind, and you can find them from some subtle details."
Huo Qubing thought that Ruo Ru Bohu's analysis was good. He had been looking for the author for so long, and now for the first time he had taken the initiative and touched his tail.
"The secret reconnaissance order is going to dispatch manpower to catch Yu Yao?"
Ru Bohu nodded: "We need Huo Hou's help in this matter."
Huo Qubing asked: "If the person is really caught, does the secret investigation order have a way to ensure that he will not be suddenly burned by the green flames, causing the clues to be interrupted again?"
"My secret agent has a requiem mirror, which is a rare treasure passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. This time I arrested the person and put the requiem mirror between his eyebrows. Unless the mirror is removed, it will have the effect of calming the soul and driving away evil spirits. This
The mirror has a great history and will never go wrong."
Ru Bohu said it so firmly, I think he is very confident.
Huo Qubing thought for a while: "What kind of help does the secret investigation order ask me to do?"
Cao Qiao on the side said: "I saw the power displayed by Huo Hou with sixty forbidden troops last time, and I want to borrow the army that Huo Hou personally trained. Just like last time, sixty people are enough.
This matter is of great importance. His Majesty personally delivered the order, and Huo Hou and the Secret Investigation Order jointly investigated the matter thoroughly.
So Cao Jiao doesn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and asks Huo Hou to help me!"
"You go with Song Ran and pass on my general order, allowing you to dispatch sixty forbidden troops to accompany you."
Huo Qubing took out a formation diagram he had carved with his own hands and handed it to Cao Qiao: "This army formation diagram is consistent with the Forbidden Army, which can increase its power."
Cao Qiao happily took it, bowed to Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu, and then followed Song Ran away.
After the two left, Ru Bohu took out another bamboo slip: "Look at this again, this is the key point."
And?
Huo Qubing took the bamboo slips and looked through them. He looked up after a moment and said, "Secret investigation revealed that there are unusual movements in the counties around Huainan. How many counties are involved?"
"Jiangxia, Lujiang and Huainan are connected to the east, and there are at least five counties. Something abnormal happened. It should be Huo Hou who dispatched troops and generals to eat up the 10,000-man army that the Xiongnu wanted to conquer. They fought too hard.
.Let Huainan realize that if he doesn’t act, he will never have another chance.”
"Some of our recent actions have also increased their panic."
Huo Qubing's face was deep in thought. Changes had occurred in five or six counties around Huainan. This was obviously the result of the author's deep involvement. Only he could secretly influence some people, but there was no problem at all on the surface, and it was very deep. p>
Coupled with the fact that there were internal problems within the secret investigation team that thoroughly investigated the world, Huainan and the author were connected in series to develop the matter to the current point.
If this chaos breaks out in five or six counties, it will not be a big deal...
"Your Majesty already knows the relevant information?"
Ru Pohu looked at Huo Qubing and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, a quarter of an hour ago, sent an order to General Wei to go to Beiguan in person to guard against any further moves by the Huns. At the same time, he also sent an order to you to see him, but I was the one who got there first.
, invited you to my place, otherwise you should be in His Majesty’s study at this time.”
The secret agent continued: "But if you go over there first, you won't be able to hear it as clearly as I do here and know the cause and effect of the matter.
The current situation is obviously a new round of actions by the writer. We are scrambling for time with him to see if we can catch his tail this time, or if he succeeds and triggers civil strife in our country."
Ru Bohu added slowly: "One more thing, Huo Hou was attacked on Chang Street yesterday, and I personally interrogated that person.
He confessed that he was sent by Princess Longlu to assassinate Huo Hou.
But I don’t think it’s true. I suspect that the author wants us to divert our attention. Huo Hou needs to be more cautious.
He gives me the feeling that he has been staring at you, from the time he first attacked you on the battlefield of the Huns until now...
Huo Hou, go ahead, Huo Hou's troops are needed now to suppress the unrest."
Huo Qubing stood up quickly and walked out of the window. He soared into the air like a cannonball, crossed an arc, and landed in the square in front of the Weiyang Palace on the flank of the tower.
His movements were astonishing, and he landed with ease. The moment he approached the ground from the air, he took a step forward, converting the momentum of his fall into forward movement. His step actually spanned more than ten feet, and his movements were smooth and flowing, giving people a sense of movement.
Pleasing to the eye.
Although the matter was urgent, Huo Qubing walked calmly and disappeared from Ru Bohu's sight in an instant.
When Huo Qubing walked into the emperor's study, there were already many people here.
Li Cai, the prime minister who knows military affairs, and Li Xi, the general commander, are all here.
Even Dong Zhongshu is here.
The military generals include Li Guang, Li Gan and his son, Gongsun He, and Su Jian, all in one place.
After hearing about the changes in Huainan and its surrounding counties, the emperor was obviously convening ministers to discuss matters.
On the low mat in front of a group of people, there was a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty. Everyone looked solemnly and stared at the map in silence.
"Did you already know what happened at the Secret Investigation Order?" Liu Che said solemnly.
Huo Qubing: "Yes, I just heard about the secret investigation order."
Every time the writer caused an accident, it was an undercurrent and so sudden that it was difficult to detect the signs beforehand.
