Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiaodao: "Without Wutuo's support behind his back, how can Fan Ziqi dare to murder the general?" After a pause, he finally asked: "Who is Li Tuo?"

"He claims to be the Prince of Tang Dynasty." Yuwen Chengchao put away the knife: "But if he is really the prince, how could he live among the people for more than 20 years, I would never believe it." Frowning, said: "But he The double dragon jade pendant in my hand is not fake."

"Shuanglong jade pendant?" Qin Xiao didn't see Li Tuo take out the jade pendant at the birthday banquet, a little confused.

Yuwen Chengchao said: "The double dragon jade pendant is a thing of the inner palace, and it is the jade pendant worn by His Majesty the emperor. Under the world, only the emperor is qualified to wear the double dragon jade pendant." After giving a more detailed explanation, he finally said, "So if it weren't given by the first emperor, that jade pendant would never fall into the hands of others."

"The eldest son is sure that the double dragon jade pendant is real?" Qin Xiao was also very puzzled.

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "It is true. In order to make me loyal to him, Li Tuo revealed his identity to me and took out the double dragon jade pendant as evidence. I personally touched the double dragon jade pendant at that time. The materials and workmanship were indeed true. What can be made by the non-civilians must also come from things in the palace."

Qin Xiao heard that Yuwen Chengchao confirmed that the double dragon jade pendant was real, and no longer doubted it.

Yuwen Chengchao comes from the Yuwen family, and he can be regarded as a person born with a golden soup spoon. There are many rare and exotic treasures. A jade pendant in the eyes of Yuwen Chengchao can naturally distinguish the true from the false. Since Yuwen Chengchao is sure that the jade pendant is true , Naturally you won’t miss it.

"If it is really a thing in the palace, and the jade pendant worn by the first emperor, how can it fall into the hands of Li Tuo?" Qin Xiao suspiciously.

Yuwen Chengchao also frowned, and was silent for a while before saying: "Maybe he is really the bloodline of the first emperor left in Xiling."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "As such, is he really qualified to inherit the throne?"

Yuwen Chengchao clenched his fist, the blue veins on the back of his hand violently violently, but quickly loosened his fist, and said a little helplessly: "If his bloodline is true, from the perspective of blood, he is indeed more qualified to inherit the throne than today's saints. "His eyes became cold and fierce: "But he used despicable means to murder the general, and he did nothing to achieve his goal. Of course, he must have the courage and skill that ordinary people do not have. But if such a person really becomes the climate, he can only do harm to the world. , Is definitely not a Mingjun who will benefit the world."

"If there is no accident, Yuwen County and Zhen County must have deployed their people." Qin Xiao said: "On New Year's Eve, when Fan County initiates a rebellion, the other two places should also act."

Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly. After he calmed down, his thinking became sharp, and he slowly said: "You are right. They have been preparing for this conspiracy for many years. Fan Ziqi and Bai Jingzhai are both sinister and cunning people, and they are thoughtful and careful. The family moved from Yuwen County to the customs. It was when the dragons were headless, Yao Duhu also left Fenggan Mansion. It was a time of emptiness. The Fan family took the opportunity to send people into the city. The city was almost defenseless and could easily be controlled. The situation in the county will not be much better."

Qin Xiao immediately thought of Han Yunong.

In Zhen County Guicheng, there are only two powers that are really powerful. One is naturally the Zhenhou Mansion, and the other is the Duwei Mansion under Han Yunong. In fact, the strength of the Duwei Mansion is far from that of Zhenhou Mansion. On par.

Zhenhou Mansion can be located in Zhen County, except

With the intertwined connections in Zhen County and the power accumulated over the past century, the most important thing is to always hold the wolf cavalry in his hands.

Now the wolf cavalry has long been transferred to Fanjun and is under the control of the Fan family. On Zhenjun's side, only Han Yunong’s captain’s mansion is left, and there is also a force that is even ignored, that is Zhenjun. Shou Du Hongsheng.

Du Hongsheng County’s guards had limited military strength. In addition to being responsible for the defense of the various gates of Guicheng, only a few soldiers and horses protected the county guards.

Over the years, including the Captain Mansion, the food for the soldiers was dependent on the local family. Du Hongsheng nominally had the command of the Guicheng defense forces, but the soldiers and horses guarding the city have always only followed the Zhen family's dispatch. Du Hongjian can be wise There are only dozens of soldiers and horses.

The captain's mansion, including the handyman jailer, added up to no more than sixty or seventy. Without the wolf cavalry, it was not difficult for the Fan family to send someone to seize the turtle city.

"Since Li Tuo has claimed to be the prince, then he will play this banner with great fanfare." Yu Wencheng said: "Many families in Xiling were not at the same mind as the court. Now the Fan family follows Li Tuo to make trouble. Those families in Xiling will inevitably Follow the Fan family. If the imperial court cannot send troops immediately, it will not take long for the entire Xiling to raise Li Tuo's great king flag everywhere."

Qin Xiaoxin knew what Yuwen Chengchao said was true.

He didn't continue the topic, turned around, and said: "Let's bury the general first."

"Really let the general rest here?" The three Night Crows all stood up.

Qin Xiao asked, "Do you have any concerns?"

"The body of the general has been escorted out by us." A night crow thought for a while before saying: "Can we find a way to bring him back to the customs? This matter is reported to the Ming court, and the saint will determine the general's funeral."

Although Qin Xiao was the youngest among these people, he seemed the most calm, and said, "I know what you want. The general is gone. He is famous and has countless battles. He is also a well-known imperial general in the Tang Dynasty. If you just bury it here hastily, it will look very shabby, does that mean?"

"This is of course one of the reasons." A night crow said: "The imperial civil servants and generals will have a funeral ceremony that fits his identity after he passes away. The generals have made great military exploits for the empire during his lifetime. In any case, there should be one. A decent funeral."

Yuwen Chengchao finally said: "Qin Xiao, what they said is not wrong. The general was killed, and soon it became known to the world. The people of Tang Dynasty always admired the general, and the court must also give a grand funeral to the son of the world. The people give an explanation. Although the general hopes to remain in Xiling after his death, it is really wrong to be buried here hastily."

This is a deserted deep forest.

A famous imperial general who is powerful in the world is buried here, and it is indeed strange in common sense.

Qin Xiao was silent for a while, and finally said, "You really don't understand what I mean?"

Several people looked at Qin Xiao, and Qin Xiao calmly said: "As you said, the general is a hero of the empire and was murdered by the rebels. In any case, the court should give the general a decent and solemn funeral. We will bring the body. Going back, of course, the court will hold a funeral for the general, and it can also give an explanation to the army and the people of the world. Then? Can you guarantee that after the general is buried, the court will definitely dispatch troops and generals to go out of the border to pacify Xilingzhi

Mess?"

Yuwen Chengchao frowned and said, "Will the court turn a deaf ear to such a big event?"

"Grand Master, the Wutuo Rebellion has been seventeen years." Qin Xiao said: "In the seventeen years, although the general has worked hard and wanted to return to Xiling, has the court ever made any moves? Even if the Xiling Duhu Mansion still There are many officials who are still loyal to the imperial court. They only receive salaries from the Xiling family. In 17 years, the imperial court has not spent a single coin in Xiling." After a pause, he said, "I am not saying that the imperial court abandoned Xiling. But for at least the past seventeen years, the imperial court has not focused on Xiling. In fact, you know this very well in your hearts."

Yuwen Chengchao couldn't help but nodded slightly, and a night crow was also very candid: "Yes, if it weren't for the general's insistence, almost no one in the court mentioned Xiling. The general actually wrote to Xiling many times, hoping that the court can formulate a recovery strategy for Xiling as soon as possible. , But few people in North Korea pay attention to them. Their reasons are very simple. Except for the treasury’s inability to support the war in the west, the most important thing is that before the suppression of southern Xinjiang, it must not be easily caused by the Xiling to cause war with the Utua Khanate. ."

"In the eyes of most courtiers, the previous situation is actually the best situation." Another Ye Crow said: "Let Xiling people guard Xiling, and the three counties of Xiling will serve as a buffer area between Datang and Wutuo. If Xiling doesn't move, Datang doesn't have to act rashly."

Qin Xiao sighed: "So I now doubt very much that even if Xiling has undergone such a big change, the general will be murdered, the court may not really put down the rebellion in Xiling with all its strength, at least there are still many people in the DPRK who oppose the strategy of easily taking the empire. The focus shifted to the northwest. They may not adjust the strategy of the empire quickly because of the general's death." He glanced at the general's body covered by the black cloth, a trace of sadness crossed his eyes, and then continued: "If we send it back The general's body, the court just organized a grand funeral for the general. The more grand the funeral, the more the grief and anger in the hearts of Datang people will be relieved."

After all, Yuwen Chengchao was shrewd and understood what Qin Xiao meant, and said, "You mean, we want to let the general stay in Xiling on purpose?"

"Not bad." Qin Xiao said: "Xiling rebellion. If even the body of the general cannot be returned to the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to talk about funerals. In this way, the court will not be able to explain to the army and the people of the world. Tang, even the saint’s face is not good-looking, so whether it is for the court’s face or to give the world’s soldiers and civilians an explanation, the court will dispatch troops to leave the customs, otherwise the court will not even want its own face."

Several people suddenly understood.

Yu Wen Chengchao was silent, did not say any more, picked up the body of the general, and walked deeper into the woods. The three Ye Crows looked at each other and finally understood Qin Xiao's good intentions.

They were a little surprised.

Of course they already knew that the general accepted Qin Xiao as a righteous son. Although compared to Qin Xiao, their years of following the general were far from being comparable to those of young people like Qin Xiao, but since Qin Xiao and the general have the name of father and son, from a certain From a perspective, Qin Xiao is more qualified than them to decide the fate of the general.

To their surprise, although this young man looked like a childish face, his worries were far more profound than they wanted.

Leaving the body of the general in Xiling forced the court to send troops. This is of course their common goal now.
