Chapter 269: Crazy and bold

The person who walked out of the Governor's Mansion was wearing a green robe. He was short in stature and had a thin face. He looked like an ordinary eighth- or ninth-grade official. However, the captain who originally had a long beard and hair immediately put away his sword and said, "Master Lu , These Xizhou soldiers are so bold that they dare to disobey the military order of the Protector!"

Lu Qingyan nodded, walked to the Xizhou Mansion Soldiers, looked at the Tuan Zheng up and down, and hugged his hands, "This Tuan Zheng, I wonder if you have any objections to the military order of the Grand Protector?"

Tuan Zheng put away his sword, glanced at Lu Qingyan along the bridge of his nose, and said with a sneer, "The Protector-General wants to send people into Xizhou, and they can come in openly. Why do we need to send a small team into the city first in the name of returning military intelligence, and detain the defender?" Soldiers of the city, are you going to enter the city in a large group? You are so sneaky and hurt people first, and now you want us to put down our bows and swords and listen to your orders, bah!"

This group was tall and tall, and they scolded each other heartily from a high position, and the loud "bah" made spittle fly everywhere. Lu Qingyan, with his extraordinary concentration, couldn't help but take a step back, folded his hands and said with a smile, "This Tuan Zheng has misunderstood. When I came to Xizhou, I was ordered to track down the traitors and accomplices. I couldn't leak any information in advance, so I had to act like this. The so-called military order is like a mountain. If there is any offense, I hope Tuan Zheng will understand. It’s just that the Imperial Guard does have military orders. The soldiers of the Xizhou Prefecture must obey Captain Zhou’s orders. If Tuan Zheng insists on disobeying the military orders, be aware that military law is ruthless. If you are investigated in the future, even Governor Qu will not be able to protect you!"

Tuan Zheng was silent for a moment, and Lu Qingyan felt relieved. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Tuan Zheng said coldly, "Let's talk about the future! I haven't seen the governor today, and he wants me to put down my bow and sword, but there is no way to think about it." !”

Lu Qingyan couldn't help being stunned, and was about to speak, but heard Colonel Zhou shouting loudly behind him, "Stop, who are you, you are not retreating!"

Lu Qingyan hurriedly turned around and saw several young Hu women walking towards him. They were all luxuriously dressed and beautiful. One of them was tall and slender, with a pair of eyes on her snow-white face staring at him without hesitation. , there was a coldness like ice and snow in his eyes, and he was suddenly shocked when he heard the tuanzheng behind him loudly said, "Mrs. Chang Shi, these people are the personal soldiers of the Great Protectorate and the Yizhou frontier army. There are more than a thousand people. Just now they wounded the soldiers guarding the city and blocked the city gate. Now they have surrounded the Dudu Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, saying they want to track down the rebels' accomplices. "

Lu Qingyan’s heart trembled, is this Kudi’s family? Why didn't that group of soldiers block her? He hurriedly took a step forward, waved to Colonel Zhou, and saluted with a smile, "It turns out to be Mrs. Chang Shi."

Liuli nodded to Tuan Zheng, turned to Lu Qingyan and Captain Zhou, and said in a very gentle tone, "Two of you, please. Just now, a group of soldiers came in front of my house. They said they wanted to track down the rebels' accomplices. I dare to ask, Who is the traitor and who is the traitor’s accomplice? How did they get to my house?”

Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "This is a military plane. Please forgive me for disclosing it. In short, there are thieves in Western Xinjiang who are rebelling and causing chaos. The leader of the thieves has been brought to justice by the Metropolitan Protector. In order to prevent the comrades in the various states from causing chaos, the Metropolitan Protector has specially ordered us. Come to Xizhou to take over the army. Madam Suwen is very prestigious in Xizhou. Please persuade the soldiers to put down their bows and swords. Otherwise, at this critical moment, the more they disobey the military order, the more the governor will be unable to defend himself. "

Liuli frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "May I ask your surname and your official position?"

Lu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment before replying, "My surname is Lu, and I hold the position of Chief Registrar in the Imperial Protectorate."

Liuli vaguely remembered this name and guessed that it was probably the one who followed Su Nanjin to Xizhou last time. She smiled and nodded, "Master Lu, I have been looking up to you for so long. I'm sorry. I have something unclear, and I hope you can give me some advice." —I would like to ask the Great Protector to investigate all the states in Western Xinjiang, or only Xizhou?"

Lu Qingyan shook his head warily, "Sorry, I have no comment on this matter."

Liuli said calmly, "You dare not answer, it is unusual. The Anxi Protectorate is in charge of hundreds of prefectures and counties in Western Xinjiang. When the Protectorate sends troops this time, there are less than 10,000 Tang troops around him. If every government official has If more than a thousand soldiers were sent to track down the rebels, there would be no need to go out on an expedition. What's more, the chief secretary came to Xizhou. He first seized the city gate and then surrounded the government office. He clearly determined that someone in the Xizhou Governor's Mansion was a traitor. In this case, the governor has already been unable to argue, what difference does it make whether the soldiers of Xizhou Prefecture release their bows or swords? "

Lu Qingyan's face couldn't help but change, and he said sternly, "Madam, you must be careful what you say. How can you make random guesses about this important military matter?"

Liuli laughed, "What Mr. Lu said makes no sense! In broad daylight, you mobilized troops to seize the city gate and surround the government office. You said you wanted to track down the rebels, but you didn't tell everyone who was causing the rebellion, and you didn't tell everyone who was causing the rebellion. Tell me how to track down the rebels. This obviously leaves everyone to guess on your own. I have no choice but to make a guess according to your wishes, but I don’t know where my guess is wrong. Could you please give me some advice? "

Lu Qingyan opened his mouth, and for a moment he simply didn’t know how to answer. His eyes flickered a few times. Yun Yi, who was behind Liuli, could no longer hold back and said in a crisp voice, "You people are so unreasonable. What do you think of the traitor comrades? What does it have to do with Xizhou? Why are you still holding the crown prince and the others captive? What on earth do you want to do?" "

Lu Qingyan glanced at her and vaguely guessed her identity. Suddenly, his heart moved and he laughed, "May I ask if this is Mrs. Ashina?"

Yun Yi frowned, "So what?"

Lu Qingyan's smile became gentler, but his eyes shone faintly, "May I ask which Turkic tribe my wife's family is from?" Liuli looked at his smile and suddenly felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Yi said angrily, "I am How about the Nishi tribe?"

Lu Qingyan was startled for a moment, and the light in his eyes suddenly went out. The Nis tribe, which belongs to the Wunu Shibi tribe, is the tribe of the former Jue Khan. Not only does it have nothing to do with the rise and fall of the past, but it is also the enemy. This matter is a bit tricky... I can only smile and say, "I see, that's disrespectful."

The change in his expression fell into Liuli's eyes, and countless doubts suddenly arose in Liuli's heart. It seemed that Yunyi was from the Nishu tribe, which disappointed the chief clerk. So what did he expect? Is this rebellion related to which Turkic tribe? But I don't know at all who the ten Turkic surnames are. I only know that Yunyi's brother went to war with Ji Qi Jue Khan, and Fang Lie followed Xing Xi Mu Khan... Could something have happened to Fang Lie? Thinking of Pei Xingjian's move to quietly place Liu's mother and son in Gaochang, Liuli felt the hairs on her back stand up.

Yun Yi couldn't bear to say this, and said coldly, "Who wants your respect? When will you let the prince and others come out?"

Lu Qingyan was disappointed and hugged his hands in a perfunctory manner, "I'm very sorry. Lu has no control over this matter."

Yun Yi couldn't help but get angrier. Liuli hurriedly pulled her gently and asked with a smile, "Master Lu, my sister hasn't seen her brother for a long time. I wonder if the chief has ever seen Chief Nishu before he came here?"

Lu Qingyan shook his head, "I've never seen it."

Liuli sighed with some disappointment, then smiled and said, "I wonder if the chief secretary has seen the Xingxide Khan?"

Lu Qingyan's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled calmly, "Well, we have met once. Is it possible that Madam knows the Xingxide Khan?"

Liuli said "Oh" with interest, and glanced out of the corner of her eye, she saw Captain Zhou next to him had turned his head and looked at him intently. His doubts deepened, and he said with a smile, "This person who has risen and died can be Damn it, I am naturally very familiar with it..."

Lu Qingyan still had a slight smile on his face, but his posture was a little stiff. Lieutenant Zhou opened his eyes wide, tightened the corners of his mouth, and almost sneered. Liuli's heart sank, but the smile on his face grew stronger. Sweetly, "these two khans, who rose in the past and died in the past, and succeeded in the past, are heroes in Xijiang. I often hear people talk about them in Xizhou City, so I am familiar with them. Unfortunately, I am a woman. But I didn’t have the opportunity to admire the heroic appearance of the two Khans. It’s really a pity. But to elaborate, I am more familiar with Jixijue Khan. Last time Jixijue Khan came to Xizhou, he also gave my family a few collar foxes. Skin, tsk tsk, that fur is really rare..."

As she continued talking nonsense like this, Lieutenant Zhou's face almost turned dark. Lu Qingyan also quickly lowered his eyes. He paused for a moment before raising his eyes and smiling, "Ma'am, you are joking."

Liuli was somewhat sure at this moment that something might have happened to the Xingxide Khan! I remember Pei Xingjian once said that he never let Fang Lie meet Su Haizheng's people. Is it possible that Su Haizheng directly held a grudge against the Xing Xi Death Khan and slandered him for rebellion? But this Chief Lu just said, "The leader of the thieves has been punished." No matter how crazy Su Haizheng was, could he directly kill a powerful khan in Western Xinjiang? If that were the case, he would probably keep doing it and try to get rid of the Qu family and his son and Pei Xingjian on charges of treason and rebellion... Liuli felt that her heart was beating faster and faster, almost to the point of jumping out of her chest, and her palms were wet. His face was covered with sweat. Although his face remained calm for a while, his throat became tight and he couldn't stop laughing.

Lu Qingyan didn't seem to be interested in talking to her anymore. He turned to look at Tuan Zheng and the Xizhou soldiers behind him, and his eyes became cold. Seven days ago, the Xingxide Khan and his chiefs and generals were already bleeding. He, Mr. Su, and Lieutenant Zhou led people to come day and night in order to catch them off guard. The Qu family and his son were originally members of the royal family of Gaochang, so it was logical for them to collude with the Turkic Khans to revolt. They originally thought that they would just seize the Xizhou City Gate with lightning speed, surround the Governor's Mansion, and take away the Qu family and his son. What's the difficulty in putting Pei Xingjian under house arrest, and then separately plotting to defect and kill him or commit suicide out of fear of crime?

Who would have thought that hundreds of soldiers from Xizhou would dare to disobey military orders and draw their swords at each other? If they are not allowed to put down their bows and swords, will they have to fight to the death to get things done? However, there are not many personal soldiers under the guard now, and the number he brought this time is only 200. If they really want to fight, although their side has the numerical advantage, the 800 Yizhou frontier troops may not be able to care about life and death... they can't At this point, the success fell short!

He was furious in his heart, and his voice became much sterner, "This regiment commander, you know the consequences of disobeying military orders. It's just that you are not afraid of death. Could it be that you don't care about the lives of your soldiers? If you really take action Come, but I don’t know how many of the hundreds of you can survive!”

Tuan Zheng remained silent coldly. He was from the old tribe of the Qu family, and his ancestors had followed the Qu family for several generations. Many of the soldiers behind him had similar backgrounds, so they were specially left to guard Xizhou. . Not to mention that the Imperial Guard had an order, even if the imperial court had an order, they would not be able to take a step back.

It's just that not everyone among the four to five hundred soldiers is like this. Some soldiers looked at the Yizhou border troops who were obviously much more numerous than their own, and hesitation appeared on their faces.

When Liuli saw this, she couldn't help but screamed inwardly. In her eagerness, her mind suddenly calmed down a bit. With a sudden change of thought, she suddenly raised her voice and said, "Master Lu, Su Haizheng, the protector of Anxi, is trying to accuse Su Haizheng of abuse. Killing important officials in the imperial court and raising troops to rebel?"

Her voice was crisp and loud, and it spread far away. The expressions of Lu Qingyan and Captain Zhou changed drastically. Captain Zhou pulled out his knife with a "swipe" sound and pointed it at Liuli, "You are so brave. !”
