Criminal investigation in ancient times

Zhang Rui and his party were still on their way to the northwest. Although he was anxious, there was still nothing he could do. He could only think about how to persuade General Zhenbei when he went to the northwest.

Just when he was about to break his head, the second prince fell from the sky with a big pillow and hit him, almost kneeling down and singing.

In order to claim the military power in General Zhenbei's hands, the second prince actually sent someone to intercept He Zixiang!

Zhang Rui slapped his thigh and thought, the two princes are really cooperative!If he doesn't make this move, I'm afraid the hope of persuading General Zhenbei is still a little slim. Now that he comes, God help me!

Looking around, there are about five hundred soldiers and horses standing in front of them. The leader is a man in his 30s. He is wearing armor and sitting on the back of a horse. With a five-foot long knife, he roared: "In the car is the youngest son of General Zhenbei!"

He Zixiang frowned and lifted the curtain of the car to look outside, wondering, "I'm just here, why is the general in front of me blocking my way?"

The leading general was surnamed Cui, ranked third, and named Cui Laosan. He was originally the governor of Chongzhou, and he had just received an emergency report from Beijing the day before yesterday, asking him to intercept He Zixiang here.

Cui Laosan thought for a while, this matter is not easy to handle, not to mention that the emperor has promised to let people go back, and now he is robbed back halfway, you are not joking, you are going back and forth, what kind of thing is this!Besides, is the general of Zhenbei easy to get along with?If he tied his son up like this, wouldn't the tiger pull out his beard and get tired of working?

"Ah... Well, this general is the capital of Chongzhou. I heard that the son of General Zhenbei passed by here and wanted to invite you to have a drink." After Cui Laosan finished speaking, he was blushed by his own excuse.I am not familiar with General Zhenbei, let alone this yellow-mouthed kid.

When He Zixiang thought about it, he realized that the emperor was probably going back on his word and didn't want him to go back.

"It turned out to be Master Du Tong, and the younger one was rushing home. I'm afraid I won't be able to go. Next time I have a chance, I'll have a drink with the general."

Listen to Mrs. Cui, he won't listen to you at all, come on, since the emperor ordered him to be arrested, there is nothing he can do about it, so arrest him first.With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind slowly spread out, forming a ring and besieging He Zixiang and the others in the middle.

As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, and He Zixiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention that there are only more than 200 people on the other side, and there are more than [-] soldiers on his side.The soldiers of the two sides are different. The people led by Master Cui are just ordinary soldiers, while the soldiers sent by General Zhenbei are all veterans who have fought against the Huns. They have fought with real swords and guns. See Bloody!

He Zixiang looked at the soldiers in front of him and said in his heart: I'm afraid that Dutong didn't really want to stop him, otherwise why would he only send 500 troops here, come on, I accept his favor and just be lighter when I attack later.

"Master Dutong, the emperor has ordered me to return to the northwest, what are you doing now?"

Cui Laosan said: "Young Master He, the emperor asked me to arrest you, the emperor's order must not be violated, and you still say that you should obey me obediently!" He stretched out his hand and pulled out the long knife from his back, pointed at He Xiang and said: " Capture He Zixiang alive!"After finishing speaking, I saw the five hundred soldiers approaching gradually.

He Zixiang said angrily: "All the soldiers listen to the order! The emperor ordered me to go home earlier, but now I don't agree with him. I absolutely can't go back with them. Let's go out!" He took out the armor from the car and put it on. The soldiers led a dark war horse.He got on his horse, pointed at Cui Laosan with a spear and said, "I've offended you!" After saying that, he rode his horse to meet the enemy, and made a bloody road out.

Cui Laosan patted his chest and thought, "This kid is not a good guy. You can make sense of it. After all, his strength is limited, and he can't be compared with the group of soldiers in the north of the town. Hurry up and make way for him."

He Zixiang rushed out, and the soldiers behind guarded the carriage in the middle and broke through the siege together, passing Chongzhou without any danger.This matter was reported back to the northwest by Xiaobing Shanqi.

In the northwest, He Guang was reading the secret report in his study. After reading it, his brows were frowned, and he threw the note into the brush washer.

"How is Zixiang, has he ever been injured?"

The little soldier hurriedly said: "The young general is invincible, he charged out first, he was not injured, but..."

He Guangdao: "What?"

Xiao Bing: "The young master asked me to tell the general that the emperor may have other tricks, so I ask you to be more careful."

He Guang let him go down a little bit, turned around and slapped the desk with his palm, splitting the table with a half-finger-wide crack. "Too much deceit! Just like his dead ghost father, when he needs me, he will do everything possible to let me send troops to solve problems. If he doesn't need me, he will kill the donkey. Now he dares to do something to my son. Do you really think I'm the face?! "

After He Zixiang escaped from Chongzhou, he boarded Zhang Rui's car again, and the two faced each other for a while.

"In the past, Xiaomin always mentioned you in front of me and praised you as inhuman."

Half of Zhang Rui's face twitched and said, "Oh? I don't know how my cousin praised me."

He Zixiang recalled Lin Xiaomin's beaming expression when he mentioned Zhang Rui and said with a smile: "He almost regards you as a Bodhisattva, and if he believes in you, he will have eternal life."

Zhang Ruidao: "Xiaomin was young and bumpy, and his temper is different from ordinary children. I am afraid that he is also influenced by me."

He Zixiang said: "Speaking of ups and downs, I can't compare to you. You haven't stopped since you entered the capital, and now you want to rebel. But if Xiaomin knows that you are like this, he will definitely support you."

Zhang Rui emphasized: "It's not a rebellion, it's just overthrowing the faint king."

He Zixiang waved his hand and said, "To me, it's all the same thing, but even if the second prince really colluded with the Xiongnu, it has nothing to do with you. Is it possible that you are the only one left in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhang Rui said in a hoarse voice for a while, "I'm actually here to save people."

He Zixiang said: "Save who?"

Zhang Rui: "The Twelve Princes Zhou Yin."

He Zixiang nodded slightly, and Jingzhong had heard rumors about the two of them, but... it's ridiculous that thousands of soldiers would die just to save such a person. "Zhang Rui, go back, my father won't send troops to the capital."

Zhang Rui's head buzzed, and he said with difficulty, "What did you say?"

He Zixiang: "You just want to save someone. If you really can't do it, you can think of other ways. You don't need to push the emperor down from the throne. You know, once the Northwest sends troops to invade the capital, the Huns are likely to take advantage of it. It's at stake! My father will definitely not listen to your persuasion for the sake of a Twelve Prince, so you should go back as soon as possible."

Zhang Rui swallowed his saliva and said: "The second prince colluded with the Xiongnu, if it doesn't happen now..."

He Zixiang looked at him deeply and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that the second prince colluded with others?"

Zhang Rui laughed in astonishment, originally thinking that he could persuade General Zhenbei by going to the northwest, but now it seems that it is just his own idiotic dream.

He Zixiang: "If you really want to rescue Zhou Yin, I can lend you my soldiers..." "Boom!" Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a feathered arrow dragged its tail through the sky and nailed it to the car , More than half an inch is nailed through the plank.

The arrow is in the shape of a triangular hook, once the sword is nailed into the body, it will hook the flesh and cannot be torn off.

Zhang Rui looked at the feathered arrow with burning eyes, and his heart was beating thumpingly. Nothing excited him more than this——this is the arrow of the Huns!

——The army of the Huns is coming!

He Zixiang's eyes dimmed, and he was surprised when he opened the curtain of the car. A Hun army was rushing forward, at least a thousand people.

"How could there be an army of Huns!"

The spies rushed to report on horseback: "Major General, there are more than a thousand people by visual inspection, all of them are heavy armored cavalry. If they fight head-on, they may be defeated!"

He Zixiang looked at the group of troops from a long distance, his heart was turbulent, and he said angrily: "Withdraw the troops! Retreat to Kunlongpo, escort the commander out of the siege to report to the northwest, and ask my father to send reinforcements!"

More than [-] troops kept retreating, and the Huns slowly moved forward to suppress them.

Of course, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses were not sent by the second prince. Although he colluded with the Xiongnu, he also knew the reason why the military power should not be surrendered. But why are there so many Hun cavalry here?

Of course, it is also inseparable from the second prince. He ordered the opening of two trade gates so that the Xiongnu could enter the Great Zhou at will. This man was just a businessman disguised as a horse dealer and sneaked into the Great Zhou!

The Xiongnu wolf is ambitious, and spies have spread the news from the middle of the capital. He Zixiang is going to return to Zhenbei from the middle of the capital. If He Zixiang is caught, the Zhenbei General will hold it in the palm of his hand. You have to weigh your own son first.

Zhou Yin sat in the car with the appearance of an old god, He Zixiang put on the armor that had been taken off, looked at Zhang Rui for a long time and said, "Maybe my father can really send troops." After saying that, he jumped off the carriage On the horse.

In front is Kunlongpo, which is surrounded by mountains and jagged rocks. There is only one path to enter this place, and there is a cliff behind.

According to legend, an emperor was besieged here, and finally jumped off the cliff and died. Gu got the name of Kunlong.

He Zixiang saw that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it was a good place, they didn't bring much food and grass. If they confronted the Xiongnu, they would run out of food within ten days at most!Who knows if his father can bring troops here within ten days?

These Xiongnu soldiers were well-trained, seeing them retreating into Kunlongpo, they did not continue to chase hastily, but camped in place, intending to consume them.

Zhang Rui saw that they were gradually losing their minds, and said to He Zixiang, "Did the sender break through?"

He Zixiang shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

Zhang Rui walked around twice and said, "We can't do this and wait. If those people didn't send a letter to the old general, do we have to wait until we die?"

He Zixiang angrily punched the shaft of the car and said, "This Hun is really hateful! I really want to kill him and avenge my mother."

Zhang Rui looked at him and said, "Can your troops defeat these uniform Xiongnu troops?"

He Zixiang suddenly wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant. "But what now?"

Zhang Rui thought for a while and said, "Zhan Qing, if you send 20 people to help you break out of the encirclement, how sure are you of escaping?"

Zhan Qing was stunned and said in thought: "Five levels of assurance."

Zhang Rui frowned that the fifth floor was too low, but if he didn't try, he might not be sure of even the first floor, and everyone would be trapped and die here.Maybe He Zixiang couldn't die, but I'm afraid he would rather die than be captured by the Huns as a puppet to threaten his father.

Zhang Rui: "Plus three hidden guards...how many levels of assurance?"

Zhan Qing clenched his fist: "Seven floors!"

Zhang Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! He Zixiang, prepare a horse for him, be sure to run the fastest!"

He Zixiang nodded heavily, and hastily selected twenty elite soldiers from his subordinates. These twenty people knew that this trip might be a disaster, but everyone had a smile on their faces. They were soldiers under the command of General Zhenbei, and even if they fought to the death , as long as the general doesn't say retreat, no one will retreat!

Zhan Qing and the three hidden guards stood together to discuss how to break through the enemy's defense, and the remaining [-] soldiers also listened carefully. He Zixiang pulled a dagger from his waist and handed it to Zhan Qing, saying: "This is my father. Send it to me, you take this thing to Zhenbei General’s Mansion, my father will see this thing as if he saw me, if you tell him about this, my father will definitely send troops to come.”

Zhan Qing took the dagger and stuffed it into his bosom, looking at the Huns army in the distance with a dim face.

They plan to do it at Yinshi, because this is the time when the army is exhausted and resting, they can take advantage of this time to fight out!

The sky was getting dark, and Zhan Qing and the others had gone to bed early to recharge their batteries.

Zhang Rui and He Zixiang were still sitting in the carriage, and a candle was lit in the carriage.

He Zixiang: "The Huns were not sent by the second prince, right?"

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Is there a difference? If he hadn't colluded with the Huns first, how could he have brought wolves into the house?"

He Zixiang pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "If they fail, we may be trapped here to death."

Zhang Rui looked up at the outside of the car and murmured: "Sleeping to death...how come, isn't there a cliff behind?"

He Zixiang's face froze and he said, "Could it be possible to live by jumping off a cliff of hundreds of feet?"

Zhang Rui looked down at the book in his hand and said, "I don't understand about marching and fighting, but if they really fail, you can go out and leave us alone."

He Zixiang said with a pale face, "How can I do that? If I can go out, I will definitely take you with me." Otherwise, Xiaomin will not hate me to death if he finds out...

Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "The target of the Huns is you. Maybe they won't even look at us if you leave."

He Zixiang was tongue-tied, this... someone stop him, otherwise he couldn't help strangling Zhang Rui to death.
