On the second day of the first lunar month, all members of the Xie family went up to the mountain to worship the Buddha, and when they were about to leave Qingquan Temple, He Yaoqing suddenly received a secret letter.

——He finally found out who the prince was behind the scenes, but he never thought that the prince was so stupid and so courageous!

Xie Ling and Fu covered his slightly trembling hand holding the secret letter, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Yaoqing handed him the secret letter, then closed his eyes, exhaled a few deep breaths, and said in a harsh voice, "These Di people want to run away now? It's not that easy."

"Order," he looked down at Xuan San who was kneeling on one knee, his voice seemed to be deep in his throat, "Surround all the hidden piles that have been found, hold them down for now, and you will lead the team yourself To capture the group of Di people who have already left the capital, the main priority is to capture them alive, if they cannot be captured alive - kill them on the spot!"

Xuan San took the order and disappeared in a few seconds. Behind him, He Yaoqing was holding Xie Lingyu's hand, but it was getting tighter and tighter.

----------

At this time, 20 miles away from the capital, a convoy was passing the corner and entering the dense forest. The convoy had a total of six or seven carriages, and more than [-] guards rode on both sides of the convoy. It looked nothing like an ordinary caravan. They are different, and the person sitting in the carriage in the center is Liu Yunde.

He changed his face now, and he couldn't see the weird totem on his forehead, and he couldn't tell that he was a foreigner. Looking at the constantly changing scenery outside the car window, he breathed a sigh of relief in a good mood.

"My lord, Kai still doesn't quite understand, I hope you can answer me," said a young man sitting beside him, about sixteen or seventeen years old, named Gao Luokai.

Liu Yu smiled back and asked, "What else do you not understand?"

"Kai knows that some of us left first to prepare for the future, and those hidden stakes that were pulled out were originally set up to gain the trust of the prince, and now they just cut off the way for him to contact us," Gao said. Luo Kai's face was immature, but what he said was quite different from his face, "Is the prince useless anymore? In this case, why not directly design and expose all his 'collusion with the enemy'? One If the news of the Crown Prince's collusion with the enemy spreads, there will be chaos among the general public, and there will be chaos in the capital for a period of time, wouldn't this be of great benefit to us?"

Liu Yude nodded, with a hint of admiration: "Your analysis is good, but remember, everything can't just be seen for a while, and if we keep this news for a while, our family can get greater benefits in the future .”

Gao Luokai pondered for a long time, then asked again: "Then when is it?"

Leaving a laugh, he replied, "Of course—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the carriage stopped abruptly, followed by the neighing of horses, and then bloody air emerged.

Liu Xu was taken aback, took the hidden sword, lifted a corner of the curtain to look out, the dense forest was dense, and he couldn't see a single person, but the horse that had already fallen in a pool of blood was still screaming, they There were more than 20 horses in total, but the arrows shot went straight to the throats of the horses, and none of the arrows went sideways.

A dozen or so Di people disguised as guards had also drawn out their swords, looked around vigilantly, held down Gao Luokai who was about to stretch his head to look out, stepped out of the carriage, and shouted loudly: "May I ask your Excellency who you are?" Who is it? I am just a small businessman in the first channel, doing some small business of reselling goods, but I have identified the wrong person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen figures dressed in black appeared in front of the convoy, all masked and holding swords, and the one standing at the front was none other than Xuan San.

"By the order of the Lord, I have come here to arrest you. If you lay down your sword right now, you can save your life."

Keeping his eyes fixed on him, his left hand naturally stretched out towards the right cuff: "Then may I ask who is the 'Master' you are talking about?"

Xuan San's eyes seemed to be cold and empty, as if he hadn't noticed his small movements at all, his voice was hoarse and deep: "If you are arrested right now, the lord will see you."

"What if I don't!" Before he finished speaking, something suddenly shot out from the cuff on the right side. At first glance, it looked like a sleeve arrow, but when it was about to fall in front of Xuan San and the others, it exploded suddenly, and then turned into gray powder. Spread out, the air is full of choking smell.

But from the beginning to the end, Xuan San and the others didn't move a single word, they just spoke a word at the end.

"Ten Fragrance Ruanjin Powder, the Lord has already explained it."

If this medicine is used against ordinary people, it will take only two or three breaths of effort to completely lose strength, but against Xuan San and the others, it will not even have the slightest effect.

The corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he also reacted: "So you are the one who has been watching in the dark—"

"My lord said, if you don't let go, you will be captured, and you will be killed." Xuan San's face remained unmoved, and he raised the sword in front of him, not wanting to say more, "What's your answer?"

Liu Yu forced a smile on his face, and said: "This matter happened suddenly, you must leave some time for me to think about it."

As a result, the atmosphere froze, and he was so anxious that he never thought of catching him without a fight, and he couldn't just catch him without a fight. Taking advantage of this time, he secretly looked at the positions of Xuan San and the others, but finally his eyes sank, and he just glanced at the side. head of the guard.

The head of the guard was tall and strong, but he looked at Liu Yunde with a religious fanaticism. With just one look, he knew the meaning of Liu Yunde.

Then in an instant, the leader led dozens of people to attack the upper body, dragged Gao Luokai out of the carriage behind him, and fled into the surrounding dense forest under the escort of the other dozen people.

There was constant sound of blade clashing behind him, but the howling sound gradually subsided, and the smell of blood rose up into the sky, but those who fell in the pool of blood were all his clansmen, their eyes were red, they didn't look back, they just kept looking at him. run away.

But the group of people chasing after him are like entangled ghosts, and there are people from the tribe who keep leaving their heirs behind, but the final result is that the heavens will probably kill him.

Looking at the rushing and endless river in front of him, he kneeled weakly on the ground and hammered the ground hard.

The mournful screams of the clansmen before they died seemed to still echo in his ears, and the only thing left beside him at this moment was Gao Luokai.

Suddenly, he was so stunned that he suddenly remembered something, so he stood up abruptly, without even having time to say anything, he just forcibly dragged Gao Luokai into the water.

After all, Gao Luokai was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and he was already in a state of confusion at this moment, just staring at him blankly, without even struggling.

"You must memorize every word of what I'm going to say next." Knowing that they didn't have much time left, he raised Gao Luokai's face and looked straight into his eyes, "They will know I, but I may not remember you, you have learned to swim and hold your breath, and you will hide under the water after a while, no matter what happens, you must not make a sound, you know?"

Gao Luokai stared at him blankly, his face was covered with scratches from the way of fleeing, and half of his face was covered with blood.

"If you can escape by chance, return to Chang'an City as soon as possible, take my token, and tell the headquarters to close all the hidden stakes. Before the king personally orders, all the hidden stakes are not allowed to send messages to each other privately. No?!"

He was so anxious that he didn't know how much they had exposed, and he didn't have any time to think carefully, so he could only seal up all the hidden stakes first, and keep one as long as he could.

He could hear the approaching footsteps behind him, so he didn't say a word, he just pushed Gao Luokai down the water, stood up, and turned around.

But after a while, what appeared from the dense forest was Xuan San and his party, still masked in black, dozens of people slowly approached Liu Xun, the swords in their hands were covered with blood.

He was so hesitant that he didn't take a step back, he smiled suddenly, put his right hand on his chest, his voice was very weak, and he spoke Di language, but it seemed hysterical and fanatical.

"One day, my sons and daughters of Beidi will definitely take iron cavalry to travel all over the territory of Dagan. This endless mountain and river will definitely be my Beidi's world in the future."

While he was speaking, a silver light flashed across his cuffs. The silver light was still black, as if it had been poisoned, but this time it stabbed at his own throat.

Dark red blood spewed out, splashing all over the grass by the river, and some of it flowed into the river. The blood mixed with the river water and drifted down, as if it could cover all the Gao Luo Kai hiding in it.

Gao Luokai looked at all this, tears welling up were mixed with blood, biting his fist fiercely, without making a sound.

The sluggish body fell to the ground with a bang, but his eyes were still wide open, as if he was still looking straight at the sky.

And with his death, Beidi's plot that had been plotted for nearly a hundred years finally showed its ferocious side.

At this moment in the capital city, inside a hidden pile set up by Beidi, the prince looked at the surroundings that had already been empty, staggered back a few steps, his blood-red eyes seemed to be able to bleed directly, and finally knelt down in a daze. on the ground.

It is the 20th year of Yuan'an, the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the city of Chang'an is still full of festive joy, but the undercurrent surging under it can peel people's skin and rasp their bones until there is no scum left.

Dagan has been stable for nearly 200 years, but this stability cannot be maintained for long.
