Jixiang wrote a letter to Tian Muyu and told him about the little notebook that Cui Hao mentioned. Then he asked Maodan to fly to the northwest again and give him the letter.

If he could take advantage of the opportunity left by Tian Muqiong in Liangzhou City to find the little notebook, he could incite the generals around Tian Muqiong, especially Tian Heng, to rebel and turn the situation around.

After sending the letter, Jixiang came to the prison again and found Tuoba Hong.

Tuoba Hong had been locked up for many days and had lost his temper a long time ago. When he saw Jixiang, he just raised his eyelids and continued to stay in the corner, taking a piece of grass and scratching on the ground.

"The emperor has arrived in Liangzhou with his army." Jixiang said to Tuoba Hong.

The hand that was paddling suddenly stopped, and then continued paddling.

"Don't you want to know what the current situation in the Northwest is?" Jixiang asked again.

Tuoba Hong said nothing and continued drawing on the ground.

"King Qiong is the emperor's brother. Do you think he will join forces with your Ji Kingdom to massacre the soldiers and people of our Great Saint Dynasty? He is the prince of the Great Saint Dynasty and the third prince of the late emperor. As princes of the Great Saint Dynasty, they are instilled with the idea of ​​defending the territory and treating the people well since birth. Therefore, it has always been difficult to make them become enemies of their own country and people, let alone a small nomadic tribe like your Ji Kingdom." Jixiang looked at Tuoba Hong and said.

Tuoba Hong raised his head and looked at Jixiang coldly, "Your King Qiong wants to be the emperor himself!"

Jixiang snorted coldly, "Is he worthy?! When he was a prince, he was an insignificant person. His mother's family and the previous emperor passed away one after another, and there was no power to assist him. Do you think he can easily sit on the throne of the Great Saint Dynasty?"

"Tuoba Hong, have you ever thought about it carefully? How much benefit have you gained from King Qiong since he took charge of the northwest? Did you get as much when Cui Hao was around?"

Tuoba Hong was startled.

Jixiang quickly noticed Tuoba Hong's reaction and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Before King Qiong went to the northwest, you teamed up with Cui Hao's subordinate Tian Heng and stole a lot of things from the army of my Great Saint Dynasty. After King Qiong left, did you get anything else?"

The branch in Tuoba Hong's hand fell, and he looked at the opposite wall blankly.

Jixiang felt more confident.

"So, what King Qiong said about cooperating with you is just a cover to use you. What he wants to do is probably to eliminate Cui Hao, the parasite in the northwest, and prepare for the stabilization of the northwest border of our Great Saint Dynasty once and for all."

"Impossible! How dare Tian Muqiong?!" Tuoba Hong finally spoke.

"He is the prince of the Great Saint Dynasty, why would he be afraid of your Ji Kingdom?"

"If he dares to betray our Qie Kingdom, our Khan will send troops to attack him!"

Jixiang burst out laughing, "Now that the emperor is leading the army in person, do you think your Khan will still dare to send out troops?"

Tuoba Hong was stunned again.

Jixiang had already found out the true situation of the so-called cooperation between Tian Muqiong and Ji State from Tuoba Hong, so he didn't want to say anything more to Tuoba Hong and turned to walk out.

"If you can't provide me with useful information, you should be prepared to stay in this prison for the rest of your life."

Tuoba Hong watched Jixiang go away, and suddenly came to his senses, and shouted to Jixiang: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

Fu Shoutang was ordered to talk to Tuoba Hong, and he was asked to write down the content of the conversation and present it to Jixiang.

After reading it, Jixiang put the record aside: "He still didn't say anything."

"Yes, I also think he is evading the important issue, but he is a citizen of Jie country, and it is not convenient for us in Dali Temple to torture him." Fu Shoutang said.

"Assign people to continue asking questions every day. It doesn't matter what the questions come out of."

Fu Shoutang understood immediately, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

The Queen's meaning is very clear. You, Tuoba Hong, don't want to speak, so I'll let you talk every day until you are dizzy and dry-headed. When you don't even know what you said, then your words will be useful.

Understanding Jixiang's meaning, Fu Shoutang quickly arranged for his subordinates to continue interrogating Tuoba Hong.

On the tenth day of the trial, Tuoba Hong looked at the stern interrogator opposite him and suddenly said viciously: "Just wait, you guys will die soon, hahahaha!"

After saying this, he didn't say another word, and it was like this for the whole day.

Fu Shoutang felt something was not right, so he went to the palace and reported the matter to Jixiang.

Jixiang nodded slightly after listening to this, and then called Situ Changqing, "Master Situ, search the entire capital again to confirm whether the original tunnels are sealed, and whether there are new tunnels. Also, how many people are not registered in the capital, and how long have they been in the capital."

"Yes!" Situ Changqing replied.

"Also, cooperate with King Annan and check all the Acropolis troops. All soldiers must be checked one by one. If there are any unidentified ones, let King Annan deal with them himself."

"Yes," Situ Changqing answered again.

"Let's double the defenses at each city gate."

"Yes!"

After arranging these, Jixiang asked Fu Shoutang and Situ Changqing to leave first. Jiang Peipei was puzzled and asked, "Cousin, are there any spies of Prince Duan in the city?"

"It's hard to say, but I always have a bad feeling. The capital has been calm these days, without any disturbances. This is somewhat abnormal." Jixiang said.

Jiang Peipei said, "We have already cleared out Prince Duan. Will his followers be ignorant of the current situation and show up to cause trouble?"

Jixiang, "What if these people are not Prince Duan's?"

Jiang Peipei was shocked: "King Qiong's? King Qiong is really going to rebel?!"
