Chapter 249 Kill him
In Dusi Mansion, a brazier burned in front of the White Tiger Festival hall, making it bright like daytime.
In the White Tiger Festival Hall, several tables were pieced together and a map about meter long was spread out. Guyuan, Quwu Mountain, Ziwu Mountain, and Long Mountain were drawn one by one.
At this time, Li Xuan pointed to the map and whispered to the prince: "Your Highness, today I went up to the city and looked at it. I could only see the dense tents and smoke from Jing Chaotiance Army. Before I could see it carefully, I traveled around Send someone to drive me away..."
The prince looked at the map and sighed: "The beautiful rivers and mountains, but we are trapped in this Guyuan City. It seems that someone has covered his eyes. He can't see anything in detail and can do nothing."
Li Xuan said ashamedly: "It's a humble job."
The prince smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't blame himself. The Yulin Army is an imperial guard in front of the imperial court. He is usually trained as a royal guard of ceremonies. When he comes to the Guyuan border, he will naturally be restrained."
Speaking of this, the prince thought to himself, "It's the brother Chen Ji who may have gained new results. I wonder if he will come to the door tonight."
Li Xuan's face changed and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, if you talk about the ability to inquire about information and adapt to changes, Chen Ji is indeed far higher than a humble position, and he is willing to give up a disadvantage in a humble position."
The prince laughed loudly: "Mr. Li, is there anyone who says that your greatest advantage is being honest? There are not many people who are willing to admit that they are inferior to others these days."
Li Xuan said seriously: "I know how much I am in my heart. But the market is so strong and I am so greedy that I dare to sell your news. If Your Highness value him, I may not be sure that he will still be able to do so in the future. What to sell... Although this person is respectful to His Highness, he actually lacks awe in his heart."
If there is a trace here, you will definitely feel a stern.
The commander of the Yulin Army revealed his biggest difference from ordinary people: ordinary people regard the king as their father, but the traces of the past come through time naturally carry criticism of the feudal dynasty and lack awe.
Is it better to have a king, prince, general and minister?
The prince stared at the lonely Guyuan city on the map, and his tone was calm: "How many people really respect the majesty of the Tian family, the Qi family, the Yang family, the Hu family, the Xu family, and the Chen family."
Li Xuan looked upright, knelt on one knee and said, "I am committed to the family and the family, and I am rolled my eyes every day and night. Now I have the opportunity to follow His Highness, so I should go through fire and water for His Highness, and I will never refuse."
While speaking, footsteps came from outside the White Tiger Festival Hall. The prince hurriedly helped Li Xuan up and whispered: "Mr. Li, I know what I want, please get up quickly."
Li Xuan stood up, turned to look at the strode and asked quietly, "You should take the turn today, what should I do when I come in?"
He clasped his fists and said, "Reported to the Crown Prince, Commander Li, the commander of the eminent, there was a brothel called Hongxiuzhao on Kucha Street, which was the stronghold of the spies of Jingchao."
The prince was a little surprised. He smiled and looked at Li Xuan: "The Deputy Envoy Qi has actually installed an informant in Guyuan? It seems that even if my Yulin Army loses Brother Chen Ji, he can still find the spy Jing Chao with his ability. "
Li Xuan was confused. He naturally knew that Qi Jingjing had never installed an informant... Where did this informant suddenly appear come from?
He secretly glared at Qi Jingjiu and signaled him not to talk nonsense. Qi Jingjiu returned a look of peace.
The prince asked curiously: "Deputy Envoy Qi, when did you install the informant? I have never heard you mention it before."
Qi Jingju hurriedly explained: "I have not been idle for the past few days since I came to Guyuan. I have been silently visiting the market and installing informants. I have not gained anything before, so I dare not report to Your Highness. Now that I have found the location of the spy Jing Chao, I come immediately. Report."
Prince Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Now the border army will not let us interfere in defense. If we can catch some spies in Jingchao, it will be considered to be General Hu. General Zhou will share the worries... Deputy Envoy Qi, if you can really catch the spies in Jingchao, you Be the first to be successful!”
He thought about it and looked happy.
Li Xuan bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will order all my troops and go to Kucha Street to capture the spy Jing Chao back."
The prince shook his head: "I'll go with you."
Li Xuanwei said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, so you should have a rest sooner."
The prince patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."
Li Xuan put on the white fox fur for the prince. The prince thought for a moment, but took off the fox fur and threw it on the map: "Let's follow Chen Ji and get into the market. All the Yulin soldiers took off their armor, put on their regular clothes and went to the public. Don't swagger across the market."
"yes."
At midnight, hundreds of cavalry guards emerged from Dusi Mansion and divided into three groups, galloping towards Kucha Street. There were no armor or open fire.
When he arrived outside Kucha Street, Li Xuan silently made a gesture. One team approached from the front street, one team surrounded from the back alley, and one team climbed up on the roof, and quickly approached on the gray tiled eaves.
Li Xuan firmly guarded the prince's side and waited for his subordinates to catch all the thieves in one fell swoop.
In the cold wind, the prince's white clothes and arrow sleeves, his hair is tied with silver crown, and his heroic posture is erect.
He held the reins in his hand and whispered: "Mr. Li, have you ever noticed the movements of the border troops nearby?"
Li Xuan replied in a low voice: "Go back to Your Highness, I have paid special attention when I came here, but I didn't."
The prince nodded: "This time I will keep a living mouth to see if the big fish behind it can be found."
Just now, a Yulin Army rushed from afar, knelt on one knee in front of the prince's horse and fisted, "Your Highness, there is no one in Hongxiuzhao!"
He thought about it and said in surprise: "What?!"
The prince pulled the horse away and left. He came to Hongxiuzhao's door and dismounted and walked into the house.
I saw the red sleeves of candles still burning, and thick tears of candles were dripping from the candlesticks, but the tables, chairs and benches in the room were neatly arranged, so even a figure could not be seen.
Prince, Li Xuan looked back at the followers, and Li Xuan asked angrily, "What's going on?"
I thought about it for a long time and didn't say anything.
Li Xuan raised the whip in his hand and wanted to slap it, but his hand suddenly froze in the air. This brother-in-law is his wife's treasure and he can't beat him.
After a moment, he said angrily: "What do you want to ask you? Tell me!"
I still refused to speak together.
The prince pressed Li Xuan's raised hand and comforted him, "Secretary Qi, maybe something went wrong halfway through it, so why not call your informant to ask, he might know something."
All thought down and kept silent.
Li Xuan was so angry that he roared: "You are talking, what about your informant! There is no joke in the army. Do you dare to lie about military information and be careful of military law!"
Qi Jingju suddenly looked up and said, "Chen Ji!"
The prince was slightly stunned: "Chen Ji?"
All of them thought quickly, "It must be Chen Ji's news that the spy in Jing Chao received the news in advance, and the building was empty!"
Li Xuan said in confusion: "Why are you involved with Chen Ji again? What's wrong with Chen Ji here?"
All the students had to bite the bullet and explain: "Tonight, Chen Ji had visited the Dusi Mansion, but Lord Chen had ordered not to enter the Dusi Mansion again, so I decided to stop him."
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows: "What about?"
"Then he left the sentence "Kucha Street Hongxiuzhao is the stronghold of Jingchao's spy" and left. I thought it must be me who stopped him, which led to his resentment, so he secretly gave Jingchao spy Promise.”
Li Xuan was so sorry for Tiebu: "Since it was Chen Ji who came to send me the news, why did you deceive Your Highness?"
All of them shrank their necks: "I just don't want to see that boy too arrogant, like a lone wolf every day, as if he is capable."
The prince did not bother with this matter anymore, but looked at Li Xuan: "What do you think of Lord Li? Is Chen Ji really letting the spy Jing Chao go in advance?"
Li Xuan did not answer. He walked in the red sleeves and walked in the red sleeves without answering the details.
A long time later, Li Xuan suddenly squatted on the ground and said, "The spy Jing Chao ran away, but was killed."
"Kill?" Yu Linjun's eyes turned all the way.
But Li Xuan pointed to a gap in the wooden floor: "Although the perpetrator cleaned this place, the blood in the crack of the ground has not dried up yet. Your Highness looked here again, and there were also traces of knife chopping on the table, which was a new knife mark. "
After this reminder, the Yulin Army observed everywhere: "The veil here was also split into a crack!"
"There are also on the beams!"
"There is also a broken finger here."
This huge red sleeve move seems to be fine on the surface, but in fact it is a slaughterhouse filled with blood. The sword is fatal and the sword is extremely fierce.
Li Xuan frowned: "The fight range is full of Hongxiuzhao, but I'm afraid that many people will die."
Qi Jingju asked carefully, "It's all done by Chen Ji?"
Li Xuan shook his head: "I'm afraid not, unless he has many helpers in this Guyuan City... Could it be that the border army killed people and silenced them first?"
The prince looked around with his hands behind his back, then smiled and said, "Let's go."
All thought about it and said in a panic: "Where is your Highness?"
The prince glanced at him sideways and said, "Go and ask your informant Chen Ji, maybe you will know what's going on."
All thought about it and showed embarrassment: "Your Highness..."
The prince raised his hand to stop: "Mr. Li, Deputy Envoy Qi, this brother Chen Ji is indeed outstanding. If we want to make a difference in Guyuan City, we may have to abandon our past grudges and work together to cooperate. "
After considering each other, he quickly agreed: "Yes."
The prince asked, "You said before that he lived in Longmen Inn?"
"Yes, right next door."
The prince laughed: "Let's go, I'll also go and see the long-famous Longmen Inn in Guyuan City."
Li Xuan took a fierce look and followed quickly.
Everyone went out, turned right for dozens of steps and went to the inn gate. The prince whispered: "Mr. Li ordered two officials to follow me in, and the rest were guarding nearby. Don't mobilize the crowd and scare the store."
Li Xuan nodded: "Yes."
He carefully opened the cotton curtain for the prince, and the prince lowered his head and crossed the threshold.
In the inn, the shopkeeper was standing behind the counter to pick up the bill. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu had just changed into clean clothes, shrank their necks, rubbed their hands into the house from the backyard, and were covered in cold air.
At this time, the prince asked in a gentle voice: "I'm sorry, does Chen Ji, the third son of the Chen family live here?"
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu looked at each other, and suddenly they were furious and pulled out the kitchen knife from behind their waists: "The roof of the A-shaped roof has not been repaired yet, come again? Cut him!"
