Chapter 1019 The adopted son is the cause of trouble
Not to mention that a man like Lan Yu, even an ordinary person, would not take revenge on a woman for irrelevant grudges. Unless the woman and Lan Yu had a sworn hatred, then it would be pretty much the same.
Although Concubine Yuan does have an sworn hatred with Lan Yu, Lan Yu is the initiator of this hatred. Even if it is hatred, it should be Concubine Yuan who hates Lan Yu, not Lan Yu who hates Concubine Yuan.
"Huh? Brother, how did these rumors spread?" Han Du was a little confused. Since it was an invisible matter, how could this rumor spread so well?
Moreover, when Lan Yu attacked Concubine Yuan, he was in the army. The military orders were like mountains. Even if ordinary soldiers saw it, they would not be able to open their mouths and talk nonsense. What's more, this is simply a myth. How could it spread all over the city?
?
Is there anything weird here?
Han Du's sensitive nose smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"How do we know?" Lan Yu drank a glass of wine in frustration. At first, because of Concubine Yuan's suicide, he also wanted to deal with it quietly. But unfortunately, before Lan Yu could deal with it, the matter was shaken up.
When the news came out, the news spread all over the street, so that Lan Yu had to plead guilty.
Han Du looked at Lan Yu with some pity. It was a pity that he was not in the Lan Yu army. If he were there, he would definitely be able to find out the black hand behind this. But now it is too late to say anything. It has been so long.
, even if there is a culprit, they have already cleaned up the whole thing, and if we check now, we can't find anything.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Lan Yu. He is an expert in marching and fighting, but he is indeed not alert enough to conspiracies. Not only was he easily plotted, but he also missed the opportunity to catch the culprit.
Since there was no chance, Han Du had no choice but to put the matter aside and asked instead: "Brother, why did you send troops to break through Xifeng Pass in the first place? I know that it was already late when brother arrived at Xifeng Pass, but
My brother has been leading troops for many years, so he should know the rules of the border gate. The door is not opened at night. This is an iron rule. The guard general of Xifeng Pass has done nothing wrong."
Mentioning this matter, Lan Yu became even more depressed. Chao Handu explained: "How could we not know the rules at the border?"
Hearing Lan Yu speak like this, Han Du became even more curious. If he knew the rules, why would he send troops to attack the city?
"Then brother, why did you let the soldiers attack the city?"
Anger appeared on Lan Yu's face, and she placed the wine glass heavily on the table and said: "It was already dark when we arrived at Xifeng Pass, and we had no hope of being able to pass the pass. I thought...
Set up camp at the pass to deal with it for one night, and then enter the pass at dawn the next day."
Han Du nodded repeatedly after hearing this. From what Lan Yu said, there was nothing wrong with him doing this.
"Since we are stationed at the pass, we naturally have to say hello and say hello to the defenders. But we never expected that the defenders would shoot us with bows and arrows without even saying hello. My general was angry, so he just shot us with bows and arrows.
Send the army to attack the city. At that time, we had just defeated Beiyuan. It was the time when we were arrogant and arrogant. Seeing that things had become like this, we had no choice but to do nothing."
Regarding Lan Yu's arrogance, Han Du nodded and said that he could understand it. After all, he had just made an unparalleled achievement. No matter who he was at this time, he would be arrogant. On the contrary, if he didn't have arrogance at this time, he could still
If he looks calm, then the depth of this person's city is too terrifying.
Suddenly Han Du thought of something and hurriedly exclaimed: "No, isn't it brother that you ordered the army to attack the Xifeng Pass defenders first, and then they fought back?"
Han Du clearly remembered that Wu Si had said that it was Lan Yu's army who attacked Xifeng Pass first. Why did Lan Yu say now that it was the Xifeng Pass defenders who attacked him first?
Han Du's face gradually became serious. There was no reason for Wu Si to talk nonsense. Tang Ding was still present at the time.
Wu Si, as Tang Ding's old subordinate, should not talk nonsense when facing Tang Ding. Besides, Lan Yu had an army of hundreds of thousands at the beginning, and he came back with a great victory. How many troops does Wu Si have in his hands? Unless
His brain was kicked by a donkey, otherwise he would never have taken the initiative to attack the blue jade army.
But Lan Yu actually said that the defenders attacked him first? There is a problem here.
Based on his relationship with Lan Yu, it was impossible for him to lie to himself about this matter. That is to say, since Lan Yu said that the defenders attacked him first, then it must be the defenders who attacked him first.
Why are you contradicting yourself?
Han Du had a headache and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his temples.
Suddenly, Han Du thought that it was already dark when Lan Yu arrived at Xifeng Pass. Neither Wu Si nor Lan Yu knew who attacked them.
If there is a black hand behind the scenes, it would make sense. Wu Si and Lan Yu told the truth. Neither of them attacked the other party first.
The one who really attacks first is the black hand in the dark!
Han Du's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was another smell of conspiracy. This smell was still very familiar.
His thoughts suddenly opened up, and Han Du thought about how rumors about Lan Yu spread among the army. In other words, this black hand was hidden in Lan Yu's army?
By the way, when Lan Yu arrived at Xifeng Pass, it was completely dark. If someone quietly approached the pass and shot an arrow at the defenders, the defenders would naturally fight back without mercy. ??
In this way, the whole thing makes sense.
If you want to know who this mastermind is, you still have to ask Lan Yu.
But how to inquire? Lan Yu should not have thought at all that there are people in his army who want to do evil things to him. Otherwise, Lan Yu's temper would have cut such people into pieces. In other words
, this person was well hidden among the army, at least he was not discovered by Lan Yu.
Even if he asked Lan Yu, he couldn't give any answer. Things were a bit troublesome. Han Du frowned and lowered his head to think hard.
Suddenly, Han Du's eyes lit up and he asked Lan Yu: "Brother, when the defenders attacked you first, how did they attack you? Did they attack you directly?"
Lan Yu shook her head and said: "That's not true, the defenders attacked one of our adopted sons. There was not a trace of moonlight that night, and it was so dark that it was difficult to see. Naturally, the defenders did not use swords and guns, but bows and arrows.
Our adopted son went up to argue with the defenders, but he didn't expect that they didn't say anything and just shot at him, almost killing him on the spot."
"Adopted son? What's your surname, name, which one he is? Have we met him?" Han Du also met several of Lan Yu's adopted sons.
"This is the adopted son we adopted later. You have never seen him. Of course his surname is Lan, and we named him Lan Ping." Lan Yu said directly, and then continued to talk to Han Du, "It is because of the defenders
He was so unreasonable that we were so indignant that when the other adopted sons around us saw it, they went up in anger and attacked Xifeng Pass with their troops."
When Lan Yu's other adopted sons saw Lan Ping being attacked, they rushed forward angrily and said it was okay. But why did Lan Ping step forward, and why did the defenders shoot him with arrows?
According to Han Du's guess just now, if Lan Ping is the black hand, then he stepped forward deliberately, and he also quietly shot an arrow at the defenders, making the defenders mistakenly think that the army was about to attack the city.
As a result, the defenders would shoot him with arrows.
There must be something wrong with Lan Ping.
But now Han Du did not directly ask Lan Yu to find Lan Ping. Instead, he frowned and asked: "I remember that my brother had five or six adopted sons. What? Did he take in another adopted son later?"
Hearing Han Du mention this matter, Lan Yu was very proud. She laughed and said, "When did that happen? We have adopted a lot of adopted children in the past few years. There are nearly a hundred of them now."
Nearly a hundred people!
When Han Du heard this, his face suddenly turned aside. He was a little scared and a little angry at Lan Yu's recklessness. He asked sternly: "What do you want to do with so many adopted sons?"
Lan Yu didn't understand why Han Du reacted so suddenly. She frowned and said, "These adopted sons either saved us on the battlefield, or they are very popular with us. Seeing that they were lonely, we adopted them as adopted sons."
Yes, is there any problem?"
What's the problem? It's a big problem.
Han Du was so angry that he wanted to cover his face with his hands. Now he had no extra energy to think about Lan Ping. Just having Lan Yu, his adopted son, gave Han Du a big headache.
At this time, Han Du suddenly understood why Lao Zhu wanted to put Lan Yu in jail. It turned out that it was not because of his strong attack on Yuan Fei, and it was not because he sent his army to break through Xifeng Pass. It was also not because of Lan Yu's
Arrogant and domineering.
Lan Yu has made extraordinary achievements and is a bit arrogant and domineering, but Lao Zhu is not at the point where he insists on putting Lan Yu in jail.
The reason why Lan Yu was imprisoned was because he had adopted so many adopted sons!
Hundreds of adopted sons are all brave and good at fighting. If these people are placed in the capital and put on armor, they will become an elite force with strong strength. However, these adopted sons will only obey Lan Yu's orders. This makes Lao Zhu not
gas?
Han Du looked solemnly and looked at Lan Yu and said: "Brother, listen to me, if you want to survive, restore all these adopted sons to their original surnames and send them all away."
After listening to Han Du's words, Lan Yu's face suddenly darkened, and she said with dissatisfaction in her tone: "They are just adopted sons. Besides, there are also people who defended us on the battlefield. If we were sent away like this, wouldn't it look like we are here?"
Ungrateful? Besides, if we accept some adopted sons, what will happen?"
Han Du's eyes were red with anger, and he quickly closed his eyes to calm down the anger in his heart. Opening his stinging eyelids, Han Du asked in a deep voice: "Is it a trivial matter to accept an adopted son? Then look at it, your brother-in-law, Zhong*
King of the Mountain, Duke Xin, Duke Song, and Duke Ying, is there any one of them who has adopted a son?"
