The news that Yu Wentuo was captured alive soon reached the ears of Hun Khan Yu Wenzheng.

His favorite son is Yuwentuo, and his most trusted son is also Yuwentuo. If Yuwentuo hadn't established prestige in the Xiongnu army, he would have wanted to make Yuwentuo the successor of the next Khan.

Therefore, he asked the most trusted general Hu Yanliang to lead Yu Wentuo to Jing'an Pass, just to let Yu Wentuo make military achievements.

however……

Yu Wenzheng's face under the beard was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the evil spirit enveloped him, and Hu Yanliang, who did not change his expression even before Mount Tai collapsed, knelt down in front of him with a "plop".

"Khan, I'm not doing well!" Hu Yanliang knelt in front of him and said in a low voice, "I'm willing to lead my troops to Yuezhou to rescue the third prince!"

"I don't blame you." Yu Wenzheng shook his head, "Who would have thought that the Chu people would be so bold as to kidnap Tuo'er! They must have ulterior motives!"

Hu Yanliang hesitated for a while, but still expressed his inner doubts: "The tactics used by the Chu people are very similar to those of the black cavalry back then."

As soon as Hu Yanliang said the words, he noticed that Yu Wenzheng's breathing was stagnant.

He clearly understood Yu Wenzheng's feelings at this time. When he saw the tactics used by those people, he was also breathless, as if the nightmare many years ago had come again.

However, after the two looked at each other, they suppressed the matter in unison.

"It must be that the Chu army knew how powerful our Xiongnu iron cavalry was, so they managed to come up with such a tactic. If they really had the strength of the black cavalry back then, how could they not be able to defend Jing'an Pass for so many years?"

Yu Wenzheng sneered, even though he felt uneasy in his heart, he still suppressed this thought.

Seeing him like this, even though Hu Yanliang had doubts, he didn't dare to say it again.

As far as Hu Yanliang was concerned, mentioning this matter in front of Yu Wenzheng had exhausted all the courage he had accumulated.

Yu Wenzheng, who has fought in the battlefield for many years, his only defeat was under the black cavalry of Chu state. After a while, the black cavalry of Chu state was tossed and abolished by his own people. How could he want others to mention his defeat in the past?

Hu Yanliang is a smart man, after seeing Yu Wenzheng's expression, he never spoke again.

Not long after, Yu Wenzheng said again: "Letter to Li's family and inquire about Yuezhou's news."

Over the years, they have looted at Jing'an Pass for many years, but they have never seen Yuezhou send troops to leave Jing'an Pass. Why did something happen suddenly this year?Could it be that the court of Chu State has changed?

I have to say that Yu Wenzheng did guess most of it.

At this time in Yuezhou City, Xie Yan was sitting on the left side, clearly below, but his aura made Fang Chengyu, who was sitting at the top, break out in cold sweat.

"Master Xie is saying...you brought back the third prince of the Xiongnu?"

"It's a prisoner." Xie Yan coldly corrected the mistakes and omissions in Fang Chengyu's words.

Under his pair of deep phoenix eyes, Fang Chengyu had some unreasonable fear of being seen through.

But soon, Fang Chengyu returned to his normal expression, he just froze for a moment, except for Xie Yan, no one could see his discomfort.

The worry on his face was not pretended, but from the bottom of his heart.

"The Huns must retaliate, and they will definitely lead their troops to make a comeback. By then..."

"Fang Zhizhou is too underestimating our Chu soldiers." Xie Yan's tone did not fluctuate, and he threw out a sentence, "I have already issued a military order with the emperor before I came to Yuezhou. The Huns are expelled from Jing'an Pass!"

Fang Chengyu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and soon regained his composure: "The emperor really said that?"

Over the years, Yuezhou has been patient with the Xiongnu. It is not because of the emperor's fear of the Xiongnu. Outside the Jing'an Pass and even inside the pass, it has become a place often visited by the Huns. The people of Chu State there, as long as they have a way out, have left. , there are only some poor people who can't leave.

There was a trace of disgust in Xie Yan's eyes: "Naturally, after old General Pei's persuasion, the emperor has made up his mind, and it is for this reason that he ordered me to lead the army to Yuezhou."

"The capture of the third prince of the Huns this time is a good start. More Huns will be captured in the future. By then, Fang Zhizhou should not be as surprised as he is today."

Xie Yan's words made Fang Chengyu's heart unavoidable.

However, based on Fang Chengyu's superficial position, what Xie Yan did was a major event that benefited the country and the people, and he could not say anything to dissuade him.

So after thinking about it in his heart, he soon revealed a smile: "Master Xie's words are very true. The safety of tens of thousands of people in Yuezhou depends on you alone!"

He respected Xie Yan very much, even though the two were of equal rank.

Xie Yan's brows and eyes were icy cold, and Fang Chengyu's flattery did not change anything.

He put down the teacup, nodded to Fang Chengyu coldly, and strode away.

Fang Chengyu's years of nourishing Qi almost failed at this moment, he squeezed his hands tightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Thank you for the banquet! You must not stay!" Fang Chengyu's eyes were full of sternness.

His appearance made the boy who had just walked in feel uneasy.

"My lord, there is a letter from Beijing." The servant carefully handed the letter to Fang Chengyu, "It is an urgent matter."

Fang Chengyu felt dizzy when he heard the word "capital". He squeezed his hands and said in a very stiff tone, "What's the matter?"

The boy lowered his head, and put the letter on his hands: "It is said to be a top-secret matter, and only you can read it."

Fang Chengyu clenched his fingers and then slowly loosened them. He took the letter and did not check it, but asked everyone to back off.

He knew that the only thing that could make the man in the capital so cautious was the matter of seizing the heir.

Slowly unfolding the letter, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Fang Chengyu's face.

The people waiting outside the hall could only hear his low laughter, which made people feel chills behind their backs and did not dare to think carefully.

……

Yunshan is steep, and there are many rumors about it.

Gu Ning was sitting in the inn by the roadside, listening to the rumors of the traveling merchants coming and going, he even forgot to drink the tea in his cup.

Chunyu held the teapot and reminded, "My lord, the tea is cold."

Gu Ning, who was listening with gusto, was taken aback, and obediently handed out the teacup.

Seeing this, Chunyu smiled helplessly: "Did the young master forget what he said before leaving?"

Gu Ning just came back to her senses, she slapped her head, and then remembered that what Chunyu said was a secret signal they had agreed on earlier.

In line with the idea that it is better to find the evidence of the mine sooner rather than later, Gu Ning and Xie Yanbing split into two groups. Xie Yan used the Xiongnu captives to attract the attention of Zhufang and Li, while she brought Chunyu and Zhang Yang , Pretending to be a passing pedestrian, quietly sneaked into Yunshan.

Her pretty peach eyes were full of excitement: "You found everything?"

She lowered her voice, only Chunyu could hear the words like a mosquito.

Chunyu nodded slowly: "My servant made another pot of good tea, it's windy outside, you should go into the house with my servant."

Sitting in the corner, Gu Ning was dressed in dusty clothes, and his complexion had already been covered with a sallow color by Chunyu's special concoction. Today's Gu Ning, except for those eyes, is similar to an ordinary It's about the same.

Yuezhou's folk customs are open, and it is common for women to run a business to support their families. Gu Ning's appearance is not unexpected.

She and Chunyu went up to the second floor of the inn, jumped out of the window, followed the signs on the road, and found Zhou Jie who was leading the army smoothly.

Zhang Yang was by Zhou Jie's side, his thin body looked weak among the strong guards.

But when he saw Gu Ning, he was the first to greet him.

"County Lord!" Zhang Yang said excitedly, "The mine is right there!"

He pointed to the dense forest stretching for tens of miles in front of him: "I know the way! I'll take you there right away!"

"Okay." Gu Ning rubbed his messy hair, "You don't need to come forward for this matter."

After the words were settled, Zhou Jie came out of the queue and said in a low voice, "Master, my subordinates want to send three teams into the forest to search."

Facing Zhang Yang's dissatisfied eyes, he added: "At the end of autumn, the beasts in the forest have not yet completely hibernated. If they are disturbed, they will surely also disturb the people in the mine. It is better to send experienced soldiers first. , find a safe way."

Gu Ning nodded: "You just do it, I will take all the responsibilities."

With Gu Ning's words, Zhou Jie felt relieved.

Zhou Jie, a strong man with a height of eight feet, was scratching his head, with a shy smile on his dark face, this scene made people tremble.

But he didn't realize how much impact he had caused to others, he still looked at Gu Ning and said: "Master, we brought 500 people here, if there is a commotion, the news may not be able to hide the outsiders."

"Don't worry." Gu Ning patted him on the shoulder, "Master Xie arranged outside, what we have to do is to catch the owner of the mine and bring out those miners."

Zhang Yang finally found a chance to speak, and his voice suddenly rose: "Those miners are innocent! They were also tricked by the Li family from all over the place!"

After thinking about it, Gu Ning believed Zhang Yang's words.

In such an invisible iron mine, apart from those principals, I am afraid that everyone else was abducted from various places by the Li family through improper means.

Gu Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, and his tone was particularly cold: "No one in charge of the mine can be missed!"

"Yes!" Zhou Jie looked serious, saluted Gu Ning, and divided his men into four teams.

One team stayed behind to protect Gu Ning, while the other three teams split into three groups and sneaked into the vast forest.

There was a huge pit in the valley, and the people inside struggled to move the stones on their backs, and walked heavily to the stove step by step.

Their bodies are very thin, and the ribs on their exposed upper bodies are extremely obvious. There are also many old and new scars on their bodies.

"Hurry up!" The man standing in the middle had a big belly, but his eyes were very sharp. When he saw someone stop, he stepped forward with a whip.

The sound of the whip whipping continued to sound, and these people who carried the stones were like numb puppets, who only knew how to go back and forth mechanically.
