Datang traitor

A man about 30 years old stepped down from the city gate. He looked clear and bright. He was wearing a blue brocade robe with a beaded pattern and a jade belt around his waist. He was neither fat nor thin, and had an excellent figure.He walks like a breeze, with strong strength, and he walks in front of everyone in three or two steps, which shows that this person must be very skilled.

Qin Qiong walked up to Changsun Wuji with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said politely to him: "Don't come here without any harm, Grandson."

"Speak directly, what do you mean?" Facing these soldiers who were facing him with swords and swords, Changsun Wuji was really too lazy to greet Qin Qiong.

"Under the order of the sage, I will arrest you and Prince Yan and return to Chang'an to plead guilty." Qin Qiong replied bluntly.

Luo Yi took the opportunity to take a few steps back, and suddenly jumped onto the horse.Seeing Luo Yi's strange behavior, the soldiers reprimanded him not to move, and stepped forward to arrest Luo Yi.Luo Yi drew the broadsword hanging from the saddle and killed three times with one blow.Seeing this, those subordinates following Luo Yi drew their knives and fought with Qin Qiong's soldiers.

Luo Yi turned the horse's head, galloped the horse, and blew a loud whistle.

The soldiers on the city gate aimed at Luo Yi and fired all arrows.Luo Yi dexterously lay on the horse's back, swung the big knife sideways, and shot back all the arrows that were intended to be shot at him.

Luo Yi rode his horse and ran all the way to the end of the street. Qin Qiong immediately got on the horse and led people to hunt down Luo Yi.The remaining soldiers were divided into two teams, one team was responsible for guarding Changsun Wuji, Qin Yuan and others, and the other team was responsible for exterminating Luo Yi's subordinates.

The common people on the street were too frightened to watch, they ran away and closed their doors.

Not long after, from the east and west streets, two teams of Luo Yi's troops came to reinforce and fought with Qin Qiong's soldiers at the gate of the city.

Qin Yuan and others were detained in a corner by the city wall.

ding ding dong...

Two groups of people wielded big knives and fought each other. There were no fewer than thirty people lying on the ground, and the ground was splashed with bright red blood.

Qin Yuan couldn't bear to watch, and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Seeing Qin Yuan's strange behavior, the guarding soldiers were afraid that Qin Yuan would be the second Luo Yi to escape, so they immediately put their knives against Qin Yuan's neck.

Changsun Wuji immediately stood in front of Qin Yuan and scolded the soldiers for being rude.

Xu An hastily scolded these soldiers for being blind, for daring to attack three court officials, reminding them that one of them is a dignified uncle, the saint's most trusted minister.

Seeing that they had no intention of resisting, the soldiers continued to guard with a cold face, regardless of what Xu An said.They were only following orders, and as for the specific circumstances of the matter, they only obeyed General Qin's orders.

Changsun Wuji told Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo not to worry, Qin Qiong would not really do anything to them.

"I can understand General Qin's arrest of Luo Yi, but I really don't understand why he wanted to arrest us all of a sudden?" Wen Yanbo asked weakly.

"When someone comes back, we'll know after asking." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, with a very unhappy expression on his face.He seemed to have been thinking about how to deal with Qin Qiong severely.

"I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. We must not be impulsive." Qin Yuan was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would be impulsive, and Qin Qiong would also be impulsive. It would be difficult for the two to control the situation in a fight.

"You're so innocent. You didn't do anything when you came to investigate the case, but you were taken into custody as a prisoner." Wen Yanbo couldn't figure it out, "By the way, why did General Qin appear here suddenly?"

"I told him to lead people to guard the outskirts of Jingzhou, in case of accidents." Changsun Wuji lowered his voice, "Luo Yi has troops under his command, so if we investigate his conspiracy, we must take precautions. Qin Qiong should have waited for my news to act. , but I haven't sent him the news yet, I don't know why he suddenly led people to attack Anding County."

"There are 16 people in our party. Before entering the city, it became 15 people. I thought you sent the missing person to deliver the message." Qin Yuan asked Changsun Wuji what the missing person did.

Changsun Wuji: "I left a person outside Anding County, but I didn't trust him to pass the news to Qin Qiong."

At this time, Qin Qiong came riding fast, holding a bloody head in his hand.

Everyone looked closely and found that the head belonged to Luo Yi.

"Fight against the thief!" Qin Qiongle stopped his horse and threw Luo Yi's head on the ground.

For a moment, the scene was silent.Luo Yi's subordinates suddenly lost their fighting spirit and dropped their knives one after another.

Next, Qin Qiong's subordinates cheered, shouting that their general is mighty.

Qin Yuan looked at Luo Yi's head in a daze, not expecting him to die so soon.

"Come here, take them to Yan County Prince's Mansion, and leave for the capital tomorrow." Qin Qiong looked at Changsun Wuji and others and ordered.

Changsun Wuji knew Qin Qiong too well, and he couldn't get used to his arrogance, scolding Qin Qiong for being a mindless idiot for arresting them indiscriminately.

"Grandpa Changsun was joking. I arrested you just because I was indiscriminate." Qin Qiong saw Changsun Wuji's dissatisfaction. "When we arrive at the Prince's Mansion of Yanjun, we will explain it in detail so that you can obey the law with conviction."

When the word 'Fufa' was mentioned, everyone thought of Luo Yi who had just been beheaded by Fufa, and their hearts trembled.

Changsun Wuji, Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo then came to the main hall of Prince Yan's mansion.

The palace has been completely occupied by Qin Qiong's troops, and all the servants and family members in the palace have been locked up in the backyard.

After Changsun Wuji sat down, he raised his eyelids and stared at Qin Qiong with disgust and resentment, telling him to fart.

Qin Qiong asked Changsun Wuji full of regret: "You are already an extremely human minister, why are you still not satisfied and want to conspire against Luo Yi together?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Changsun Wuji ridiculed whether Qin Qiong's mind was full of water.

"I have received a secret order from the sage to arrest you and bring you to justice. If you refuse to accept it, you will be executed on the spot." Qin Qiong told Changsun Wuji that he had better respect him.The sage had long suspected that he was in collusion with Luo Yi.

Changsun Wuji, Qin Yuan, and Wen Yanbo were all baffled when they heard this statement.Changsun Wuji had a bad temper, so he slapped the table and scolded Qin Qiong for being useless and brainless.

Qin Qiong sat in her seat, watched Changsun Wuji jumping, sneered ironically that Changsun Wuji jumped the wall in a hurry, and she was exposed.

"Before I came here, I haven't spoken to Luo Yi for at least two years. I conspired against him together? You don't even believe a three-year-old child, do you believe it?" Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Qiong in amazement, feeling that he couldn't believe it. I can't believe that Qin Qiong is so stupid.

Qin Qiong couldn't bear to hear Changsun Wuji insulting herself repeatedly, and asked Changsun Wuji what else to say in defense.If you can't show evidence and just open your mouth to scold him blindly, then he will be impolite.He would directly get a prison car to take Changsun Wuji in, and then send him back to Beijing for the sage to make a decision.

"How dare you!" Changsun Wuji slapped the table and got up, staring at Qin Qiong with fire in his eyes.

"I dare." Qin Qiong responded with a half-smile, not afraid of Changsun Wuji's aura.

Changsun Wuji clenched his fists and stared straight at Qin Qiong, furious.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was about to go up and beat Qin Qiong, Qin Yuan hurriedly got up and stood in front of Changsun Wuji, bowed to him, begging him to appease his anger.

Seeing the posture of the two sides, Wen Yanbo was too shocked to speak.These two are all meritorious ministers who followed the sage to conquer the world. They are both brave and sturdy, with great momentum.These two people were facing each other tit for tat, like two tigers confronting each other and ready to go, it was so frightening that people just wanted to take a detour, how dare they get involved.

Wen Yanbo really admired Qin Yuan who dared to stand between the two of them at this moment.

"What are you doing in the way? Get out of the way and let him come." Qin Qiong could tell at a glance that Changsun Wuji intended to do something to him, and there was a hint of high-spirited intentionally in his peaceful tone, which seemed to be ironic and provocative.

Changsun Wuji was about to speak, but Qin Yuan preempted him.

Qin Yuan saluted Qin Qiong again and was busy persuading the fight: "There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. In fact, General Qin also has doubts in his heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked Changsun Gong at the beginning. He is already an extremely human minister, why did you still ask me?" To rebel."

Qin Yuan then briefly explained to Qin Qiong that they were only here to investigate whether Luo Yi's rebellion was true. Changsun Wuji had insight into the subtleties, was serious and responsible, and did not collude with Luo Yi.

"And Wen Zhizhong and I are not familiar with Luo Yi."

"I believe that the two of you may be innocent, but as for the eldest grandson... I am not a fool, how could I accuse him out of thin air. This is the evidence that the sage sent along with the secret order. In addition to being used to expand the army without authorization, a large part of it went to the Changsun Mansion."

Qin Qiong took out the account book and told them that there was still a receipt from Changsun's mansion in the account book, and the seal of Changsun Wuji was also printed on the letter of receipt.

Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Qiong in surprise, and immediately took the ledger to check. It was indeed written in the ledger that Luo Yi had bribed him for nearly a year.The most important thing is that the return receipt letter in the account book does have its own stamp, it is not forged, it is indeed real.

After Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo watched it, they couldn't believe it.

Changsun Wuji was a little flustered, and explained: "I have never been bribed by Luo Yi, this is fake! But I don't know how he has my seal."

"Sophistry." Qin Qiong looked at Changsun Wuji disappointedly, "I have led people to ambush near Anding County in the past two days, and inquired about your situation in Luo Yi's mansion. You and Luo Yi eat, drink and play all day long, completely ignoring and the suffering of the local people.”

Qin Qiong asked Wen Yanbo and Qin Yuan to reflect on themselves, and carefully figure out the true face of Changsun Wuji.

"It's still the same sentence. With my current status, there is no need to collude with Luo Yi." Changsun Wuji couldn't think of anything else because of the seal.

"Since ancient times, there have been countless relatives and relatives of the emperor who have attempted to rebel because of lack of greed, and many of them have higher status than the eldest grandson. Are they satisfied? No! People are greedy and will never be satisfied. Although you are an extremely human minister now, But you are not a person who says nothing." Qin Qiong sneered, and told Zhangsun Wuji the truth, "Actually, the reason why I feel sorry for that sentence is to insinuate that you are stupid, irrational, and unable to control your desires."

Qin Yuan looked at the seal on the letter, pondered for a long time, and frowned.

Wen Yanbo saw that the elder Sun Wuji was in a rage again, and argued with Qin Qiong endlessly.He was afraid that something would happen if the two parties were impulsive, so he hurriedly pulled Qin Yuan's sleeve.

"General Qin, since we came here to investigate secretly, of course it's not easy to tear ourselves apart with Luo Yi. In fact, during the two days we lived here, Luo Yi once wanted to kill us, and we escaped by acting. Tribulation." Qin Yuan explained.

Qin Qiong told Qin Yuan not to help Changsun Wuji speak, whether he is good or bad, and whether he is guilty or not, is up to the saints to decide.Now he is just following orders, exterminating Luo Yi, and escorting Changsun Wuji back to the capital.

After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to take care of them.After the extermination of Luo, there are still many things that need to be explained by him in Jingzhou Mansion, and Qin Qiong has no time to chat with them.

Qin Qiong left, Changsun Wuji was so angry that he kicked over the stool.In such a big life, it was the first time he was so wronged and couldn't vent his anger.In fact, he didn't want to, and felt aggrieved. He didn't expect that his own brother-in-law of the emperor secretly ordered Qin Qiong to arrest him, and he didn't trust him at all.

Qin Yuan didn't believe that Li Shimin would order so casually.

"Please calm down, grandson. Someone is plotting against us in the dark. Only by calming down can we find a way out." Qin Yuan's voice was soft, like the sound of a stream flowing in the mountains, making people willing to listen to it.

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Qin Yuan.I really didn't expect that the person who chose to believe in me at this time turned out to be the person I despised so much that I even thought about killing him some time ago.

"What do you think is strange?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"The ledger, how did the sage suddenly get such a confidential thing? Besides, if such important evidence is lost, Luo Yi will not be vigilant? How dare you send us away with peace of mind?" Qin Yuan felt that these places were unreasonable.

Changsun Wuji frowned: "After what you said, I feel that the fact that I colluded with Luo Yi to rebel is more credible. Others can just use this to say that it is because Luo Yi and I are accomplices that Luo Yi is willing to let me go." leave."

Changsun Wuji's face became more and more gloomy, and he realized that today's matter was very important, and he might die because of it.What kind of unscrupulous thing dared to frame him behind his back, if he found out, he would have to tear this person into pieces.

Qin Yuan picked up a pen and wrote the word "mouse" on the rice paper, reminding Changsun Wuji not to forget that there is still a strange doubt here.

Changsun Wuji suddenly realized that there was hope, and looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan grabbed a handful of raisins from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Changsun Wuji, asking him to eat something to calm down first.

Changsun Wuji stared at the slender and wrinkled raisin, and suddenly realized something.It turned out that Qin Yuan still carried this thing with him, no wonder he was fine without eating for a day before.

Changsun Wuji wanted to say that he was not in the mood to eat, but smelling the smell of raisins, Changsun Wuji swallowed the words that came to his lips, and swallowed a few raisins along the way.The sweet feeling spread from the tip of his tongue to his whole body, and Changsun Wuji's nervousness was effectively relieved.

I didn't expect that eating sweet things at this time can make people so relaxed.

Qin Yuan then picked up a pen and wrote the word "traitor" on the rice paper.

Wen Yanbo looked confused, Changsun Wuji immediately reacted and looked back at Qin Yuan with wide eyes.

"Meow—" a cat meowed from outside the window.

Qin Yuan noticed that there were some dried meat and cake crumbs left at the corner of the east wall.

Qin Yuan asked the guard at the door: "I want that cat outside."

The guard felt baffled, and asked Qin Yuan to stay calm.

Qin Yuan showed the token rewarded by Li Shimin and told the guards that he must be a black and white cat.

In desperation, the guard immediately went to report to Qin Qiong.Qin Qiong thought it was strange, but since they were holding the saint's token and just asking for a cat, it shouldn't matter, so Qin Qiong agreed.

……

The next day, after Qin Qiong basically arranged the affairs of Jingzhou and Yanjun Wangfu, he was going to escort Changsun Wuji back to Chang'an.Because he was worried that Changsun Wuji would have martial arts and avoid running away halfway, Qin Qiong ordered Changsun Wuji to wear shackles.

"You don't need to take the prison car, but you must bring these things." Qin Qiong said business-like.

Qin Qiong originally thought that after saying what he said, he would inevitably anger his eldest grandson Wuji again, and maybe the people who came would argue and fight.But now Changsun Wuji's reaction surprised him, and he looked at him very calmly.

"General Qin arrested the wrong person, and grandson is innocent."

Qin Yuan whispered to Qin Qiong, and then asked Qin Qiong to give them a chance to explain.But there is a request, let Qin Qiong stay in the house by himself, while others guard outside, and close the door.

Qin Qiong looked at them puzzled, hesitating whether to agree.

"We've known each other for so many years, so it's because of our past friendship." Changsun Wuji seldom begged someone softly, "Could it be that you are an imposing General Qin, and you are afraid of being killed by the three of us with bare hands?" ?”

Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji met each other's eyes, and after a while, he ordered his subordinates to retreat temporarily, but if there were fighting sounds in the room or any accident happened to him, they would be punished immediately.

The door was closed, and the room was extremely silent.

Qin Qiong looked back at the three of them and told them to talk if they had something to say.

Qin Yuan stretched out his hand to signal Qin Qiong, and then he sat down around the table with Wen Yan and Changsun Wuji.

Qin Qiong walked over and found that the table was covered with a cloth, and there seemed to be something covered under the cloth, and the shape of the bumps looked a bit like pastry.

Qin Qiong couldn't help laughing, "Is it because I'm afraid that the dim sum will be too dry, so I covered it?"

The black-and-white cat napped on the windowsill, nestling into a big ball of fur.

Qin Yuan lifted the cloth on the table.

Five gray, shaggy, round dead mice were lying firmly in the center of the table.

Qin Qiong didn't expect it to be something like this, and was startled, and immediately stood up.The stool behind him was knocked down.

The guard outside the door immediately asked about the situation and wanted to rush in.

Qin Qiong shouted: "I'm fine, continue to wait for orders."

Qin Qiong looked at Changsun Wuji, Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo, all three of them were sitting there obediently, looking at him at the same time.Qin Qiong felt that his courage seemed to have been ridiculed. He straightened the stool and sat down again.

"What does this mean?" Qin Qiong glanced at the mouse with disgust, and then looked at the three of them speechlessly, "To scare me? You three are still playing childish tricks?"

"But he managed to scare the general." Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sneer.

Qin Qiong was choked and speechless, and got up to leave.

"May I ask if General Qin has set a route to escort us back?" Qin Yuan asked suddenly.

Qin Qiong turned around in confusion: "What does this have to do with you?"

"The eldest grandson was framed. If General Qin escorts the eldest grandson according to the route that has been set, I am afraid there will be accidents on the way." Qin Yuan explained politely, "General Qin, please imagine, if the eldest grandson is escorted by the general What will happen to General Qin if an accident happens, but the sage later finds out that the eldest grandson is innocent?"

Qin Qiong's face darkened, looked at Qin Yuan, and asked him what he wanted to say.

"These five mice were killed by black and white flowers yesterday," Qin Yuan continued, and then he told Qin Qiong that when they were living in Yan Junwang, they found that there were many mice in and around their house.

Although Qin Qiong thought it was strange that there were so many mice in the palace, "But what does this have to do with your case?"

Qin Yuan asked Qin Qiong to look at the food residues in the corner under the window, and explained to Qin Qiong that these residues were used to attract mice.

Qin Yuan picked up the black-and-white cat on the window sill, returned to the seat by the table, and continued to talk to Qin Qiong in a lower tone.

"We are being watched by rats. Now all the rats in the house have been killed by black and white flowers, but there are still outside the house. General Qin, please keep your voice down as much as possible when talking to us. There are rat ears on the partition wall."

Qin Qiong looked at Qin Yuan with strange eyes, and couldn't help laughing twice.He felt that Qin Yuan might have gone crazy or hadn't woken up yet, having a silly dream.Turning to look at Changsun Wuji and Wen Yanbo, these two people were not surprised, but looked at themselves with serious expressions of approval.

"Don't the three of you all think so? Being watched by rats..." Qin Qiong slapped his legs with a smile, feeling that such a smart person as Changsun Wuji can get along with such a stupid statement to exonerate himself.

"Sooner or later you will realize how ignorant and shallow you are with what you said just now." Changsun Wuji couldn't help but retort.

Qin Qiong stared back at Changsun Wuji, and warned him to remember that he was a prisoner now, and he would not be polite if he was arrogant.

Qin Yuan asked Qin Qiong to listen patiently to his story.

"Is there such a weird thing in the world?" After hearing what Qin Yuan said, Qin Qiong felt that Qin Yuan's words were too mysterious. Rats can spy on people?It doesn't seem real at all.

Changsun Wuji: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Changsun Wuji actually needs a reasonable explanation, how could there be such a strange thing in this world, and how did Qin Yuan notice this.Just at this time, Qin Qiong took him to ask questions.

Wen Yanbo took the lead in answering for Qin Yuan: "It must be something written in the miscellaneous books he read, or something strange that he heard during his travels."

"Actually, to be more precise, it's not that the rat is watching people, but that the rat is eating and seeing and hearing something, and then a person who understands the rat language will take what the rat sees and hears as his own." Qin Yuan explained .

"Rat language?" Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong made surprise voices at the same time.

Although Changsun Wuji knew that these rats were abnormal, Qin Yuan did not explain to him in detail why it was abnormal.Looking back now, Changsun Wuji actually chose to believe it.Was he bewitched then?Unexpectedly, without asking the reason carefully, he trusted Qin Yuan unconditionally.

"Actually, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was recorded that someone understood the language of animals, but he understood the language of birds instead of rats. This man was a disciple of Confucius, named Gongye Chang. It was mentioned in the "On the Interpretation", Gong Zhichang was almost mistaken for the murderer by the government because he knew the language of birds, and he was released after he was able to prove that he knew the language of birds."

"I've read "On Interpretation"! When you said that, I remembered it, and that's what happened. You finally said a book that I've read." Wen Yanbo said a little excitedly.

"Someone deliberately used food to lure the rats around us, so that he could pass the rats and know what we said and did." Qin Yuan looked at the food scraps in the corner again.

Qin Qiong also realized that what Qin Yuan said was somewhat reasonable, otherwise, the corners of the palace would be sprinkled with food residues in a well-endowed palace.There are also five dead mice on the table, which also confirmed Qin Yuan's words from the side.And what Qin Yuan said also has a basis, that so-called disciple of Confucius is an example.

The so-called there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.You can't deny everything just because you haven't seen it.

"Then what is the purpose of this person using rats to spy on you?" Qin Qiong asked.

"The reason is what I told General Qin at the beginning. I suspect that he intends to deliberately frame General Qin and Mr. Changsun. In the end, the saint will lose two important humerus ministers at the same time. If the court loses two of them, I don't know how many people there will be in the future." Things have changed." Qin Yuan said with emotion.

"I think these rats were made by Luo Yi before. It just so happens that the other person is dead, so the trouble is gone." Qin Qiong said.

"This cat is very obedient, very clingy, and recognizes its owner. Luo Yi raised it for a reason." Qin Yuan lowered his head and stroked the back of the black and white cat. Because of him, he raised a cat. The mouse has nothing to do with Luo Yi, but he knows about it, which means that someone is cooperating with him."

Qin Yuan continued: "I used to think that this capable person who understands rat language was Luo Yi's subordinate in the palace, and he just used rats to monitor our words and deeds. Later, I realized it was wrong, because I vaguely noticed that there were rats coming from Chang'an City. Follow me all the way here."

"Before you said that the rat just watched you by the way because of the food, and that person just understands the rat language. How could the rat know how to follow you like a human?" Qin Qiong asked a very sharp question.

"This is the flaw. Rats are always rats, they don't obey orders like humans. The reason why they follow us this way is because some of us are used to sneaking food to attract rats. It's spring now, after a cold winter , There is not much food left in the wild. Even the common people, being able to eat a bite of Hubing is considered a good life. If someone uses delicious food to attract mice like this, naturally once released, hungry mice will gather around.

I thought there was only 'one' mouse following me, but in fact there was 'always' a mouse, but not necessarily the same one.Because rats are ubiquitous, you can almost find them no matter where you go, and you can call them with food. "

After listening to Qin Yuan's explanation, Qin Qiong felt that it made some sense, but at the same time felt very mysterious.Probably because he didn't witness it with his own eyes, it was still difficult for him to get rid of the suspicion in his heart.

"The evidence before me is only the five dead mice on this table, and the bit of meat under the window. Based on these, it is impossible for me to believe your statement." Qin Qiong reminded Qin Yuan to speak Evidence, "And your suspicion that someone serially murdered me and my grandson is just your personal speculation, and there is no evidence."

"General Qin, can you answer a few questions for me truthfully?" Qin Yuan asked.

Qin Qiong nodded and told Qin Yuan to speak.

Qin Yuan: "What does the sage's secret decree obtained by General Qin look like? Is there a sage's seal on it?"

Qin Qiong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not really, but I can recognize the saint's handwriting, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

"Then who sent the letter to General Qin, how many people are there?" Qin Yuan continued to ask.

"There's only one person, coming on horseback," Qin Qiong said.

Qin Yuan: "General, can you describe this person's appearance, what did he say at that time, and where is he now?"

Qin Qiong asked Qin Yuan to wait a moment, it was not the messenger he saw.Qin Qiong invited his subordinates to describe it.

"Square face, around twenty, broad nose, slender eyes. After handing over the letter and account book to the subordinate, he only said that there is important news for the general, and it must be remembered urgently, and then rode away." Qin Qiong's subordinate truthfully replied.

After Qin Qiong sent his subordinates away, he said to Qin Yuan and Changsun Wuji: "He knows where my military camp is stationed. I don’t suspect him, after sending people to conduct a simple investigation, I will come directly to Anding County to arrest you.”

Qin Qiong also said that he had surprised the guards at the gate of Anding County last night, quietly, so Luo Yi didn't realize that his men had replaced all the guards at the gate until this morning.

"General Qin fought bravely and strategically. It is well known. But please forgive me. Since ancient times, many generals have a common problem, that is, they are prone to impulsive judgment." Qin Yuan said, "After General Qin received the letter, he saw the font portrait The handwriting of the sage is considered to be written by the sage. Must it be? What if someone imitated the handwriting of the sage? Also, the only ones who know where General Qin is stationed may not be the grandson and the sage. Please don’t forget, general, there is also the mouse , rats are everywhere."

Qin Qiong was stunned, he couldn't believe Qin Yuan's speculation, it was too bold.But at the same time, he felt that Qin Yuan's statement had some truth.

Qin Qiong immediately took out the saint's secret letter, ready to confirm whether it belonged to the saint's notes.

Because Qin Qiong looked at him carefully this time. Although the shape of the font is similar to a sage's notes, the strength of writing seems to be very even, as if each word was carefully written down, and there was a slight tremor at the end of each word. Of course You have to look carefully to see it.The fonts are very similar, but the characters don't have a strong and free taste.

Qin Qiong suddenly had a bad prediction.

At this time, Changsun Wuji took the letter over to check, and immediately recognized: "This is not the handwriting of a saint at all."

Qin Qiong nodded in a daze, all the hairs on his body stood up, and he looked at Changsun Wuji with some fear.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji glared at Qin Qiong fiercely, scolding him if he just woke up.

Qin Qiong hurriedly nodded guiltily, and hurriedly apologized to Changsun Wuji.He then looked at Qin Yuan: "Now I'm beginning to believe that what Master Qin said is true."

"It's good if we can clear up the misunderstanding." Qin Yuan smiled lightly, "Fortunately, we didn't find out at the last step, and everything is in time now."

"Is it true that someone will harm me and grandson?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Whether it really exists or not, we'll find out after we try it."

Changsun Wuji asked Qin Qiong to follow the original route, so he wanted to see if someone really dared to kill him.

……

Three hours later, Qin Qiong and his men were on the way to escort Changsun Wuji, when they passed a mountain, and a huge boulder suddenly rolled down from the mountain.

Everyone evaded in all directions, and the carriage escorting Changsun Wuji was smashed right on.

Fortunately, the guards driving the carriage controlled the carriage in time, so that the carriage was only partially damaged.

Then suddenly a group of people released arrows from the mountain, and all the arrows rushed towards the carriage in which Changsun Wuji was riding.

Qin Qiong immediately ordered people to surround the two wings of the mountain and arrest all the bandits on the mountain.

Changsun Wuji's entourages exclaimed again and again when they saw that their husband's carriage had been pierced into a hedgehog by arrows, and the people inside would definitely not live.

After Qin Qiong took the troops and suppressed more than [-] bandits on the mountain, he ordered everyone to rest in place.

Changsun Wuji's carriage was still the same, no one dared to approach it.Everyone knew how big this matter was, and they were silent. No one dared to provoke Qin Qiong at this moment.

After about two incense sticks, the sound of horseshoes came from behind the road.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and found Changsun Wuji, Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo riding over, followed by more than 20 guards.

Qin Qiong greeted the three of them with a smile, feeling that things were as Qin Yuan expected, someone attacked them.

Changsun Wuji looked at the carriage that he was supposed to be riding in, and the blackness in his eyes became thicker.

The other people present were surprised when they saw Changsun Wuji, and Qin Qiong's trusted guards were secretly pleasantly surprised.When that scene happened just now, it frightened them.

After getting out of the carriage, Qin Yuan looked at the thieves who had already been captured.

"Who are they?" Changsun Wuji asked Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong said: "These are all Luo Yi's cronies. When Luo Yi was wiped out yesterday, these people were outside the city. After they learned the news of Luo Yi's death, they wanted to take revenge. Someone secretly passed the news to them. Said we would pass by here today."

"Who is it?" Changsun Wuji asked immediately.

Qin Qiong picked up the leader of the rebel army and asked him to explain to Changsun Wuji himself.

"It's Boss Rat." The leader of the rebel army confessed honestly, "Our king has always been in touch with this man. He is very powerful, he speaks rat language, and is a capable person."

Qin Yuan asked: "Then he is from the palace? Has he always lived in the palace?"

"Boss Mouse is the king's eyeliner in Chang'an City. But we don't know who and what he does. We only know that this person is very powerful, and the king believes in him. The king said that if he can win the world, he must It has half the credit of the mouse boss."

After Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong heard what the rebel leader said, they were both surprised and realized that there might be spies among them.

Seeing Qin Yuan's calm expression, Changsun Wuji expected that he probably knew about it a long time ago.Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan directly pointed to Xu An.

Changsun Wuji, Wen Yanbo and Qin Qiong were inevitably surprised again.

"The person who has seen the handwriting of the sage, who can get the seal of the eldest grandson, and who can spread food to make the mice follow me along the way from Chang'an to the county prince's mansion. It can only be him!" Qin Yuan then told the eldest grandson Wuji , "He knows all about the situation by the side of grandson, so he can report in time and plan everything."

Xu An was so frightened that he stepped back again and again, and turned around to run.Qin Qiong immediately grabbed him with his subordinates.

Changsun Wuji raised his knife and wanted to chop off at Xu An.

Qin Yuan hurriedly stopped, he wanted to know the reason why Xu An did these things.

"Why are you spying on me? Why are you trying to plot against General Qin and Mr. Changsun?"

Xu An lowered his eyes and shivered tremblingly, then knelt on the ground.

"I do not know I do not know……"

"Say one more thing!" Changsun Wuji swung the knife again, really wanting to chop Xu An into a pulp.

"Someone threatened me! Eight months ago, my daughter was taken away." Xu An cried, "They asked me to do what they said, and they can guarantee my daughter's safety."

Xu An cried and kowtowed to his eldest grandson Wuji, crying repeatedly that he had no other choice.

"Daughter?" Changsun Wuji looked at Xu An in surprise, "When did you have a daughter?"

Xu An has been his personal attendant for about three years, because he is smart and smart, and Changsun Wuji has always regarded him highly.But as far as Changsun Wuji knew, Xu An never got married.Since there is no family, where is the daughter?

Xu An, who was kneeling with his head down, trembled twice.

Just when everyone thought he was hiding something and was very scared, Xu An suddenly raised his head, with a bright smile on his face, and burst out laughing.

"You really believe it, and you're still thinking about it hahaha... I don't have a daughter at all, I just wanted to do all of this. Changsun Wuji, don't you think you are usually too arrogant, just because you are a relative of the emperor, you are arrogant. We servants are not even farts in your eyes! I just want to let you know that we are not useless. I can play with your life in the applause. If I want you to die, I will let you die. die."

Changsun Wuji never imagined that Xu An, who usually bowed his head and obeyed orders in front of him, would have such a crazy side.

Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "That's a pity, I'm not dead, you're just bragging."

"That's because of him!" Xu An immediately pointed to Qin Yuan, staring at Qin Yuan with round eyes, "Who are you? Who are you? Why did you know that I can speak rat? Why did you expect that?" All of this? Does Gu Changhuang's death have anything to do with you?"

Qin Yuan heard Gu Changhuang, and asked Xu An in surprise, "Do you know Gu Changhuang?"
