witch chaotic country

Chapter 188
At the beginning, Zimo agreed to save Zong Ai's life in order to let him hear the wind and dispel Tuoba Tao's idea of ​​asking for a marriage.Since Zong Ai didn't know what to do best, naturally there was no need to keep him.

Tuoba Tao's face was dark, even if Zimo didn't say this, Tuoba Tao could guess that someone must have secretly instigated it.Otherwise, how could a prisoner know to ask Tan Yaoyu for help.

Tuoba Tao suddenly said to Hua Mulan, "Hua Mulan, I leave this matter to you to investigate."

This means that it is obvious that he no longer trusts all the people around him.Hua Mulan came to Tuoba Tao's side only the day before yesterday, and she is obviously concerned about Tan Yaoyu.Leave it to her to investigate, at least she won't cover up the murderer.

Hua Mulan: "Here."

The fire burned like this until midnight before it was completely extinguished.

This fire burned part of the food and grass, and the most important thing was that the soldiers used a lot of drinking water to put out the fire in a panic.

Tuoba Tao looked at the charred ruins unwillingly.He originally planned to continue chasing the remnants of Rouran, but now he had to retreat back to the Rouran king's tent.

The words of the old Rouran shaman before his death kept echoing in Tuoba Tao's mind at this time, fire would make the grassland more lush, and Wei Jun would only make Rouran stronger.

But right now, it happened to be a fire, blocking the way for Tuoba Tao to continue to pursue and kill the Rouran people.How can this make Tuoba Tao not to worry about it?

At this moment, Hua Mulan walked into the handsome tent, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty."

When Tuoba Tao heard Hua Mulan calling him, he came back to his senses and asked, "How is the investigation?"

Hua Mulan said guiltily, "The subordinate is incompetent. The princess said that she only heard a voice sighing outside the tent, saying that if they could ask Xian Ji to speak, they would not have to be insulted like this. The person also said that they were both women, They are suffering here, but Xian Ji's side is very quiet."

Tuoba Tao was not surprised, "So she just heard the voice and didn't see who it was. What about the others, no one saw it?"

Hua Mulan shook her head, "My subordinates asked around. But everyone said that it was too chaotic at that time, and they didn't notice any strange people."

Tuoba Tao sighed and said to Hua Mulan, "Your methods are still too tender."

Those who have the ability to make troubles under Tuoba Tao's nose naturally have deep roots in the camp.How could Hua Mulan, an ordinary soldier, be able to find out?
Even if Tuoba Tao took a high look at Hua Mulan, she was born from a grassroots background, and her knowledge, skills, and even connections are still far behind.

But Tuoba Tao didn't care too much, the shaman who colluded with Liu Jie before is still in custody at the Rouran king's tent, who is soliciting rumors again and again will be known at the first instance.

"The order will be passed down, except for a few nephews of the tribal master, all the other captives will be killed. At daybreak, we will return to the barracks of the king's tent." Tuoba Tao waved to Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan didn't say any more, and quietly withdrew.

Zong Ai was completely relieved at this moment.When a person is dead, even if something is found out in the future, there will be no evidence of death.

——Boundary——

When Tuoba Tao led his army back to the Rouran king's tent, other armies had already arrived first.The three armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty joined forces here, and the tents that were camped could not be seen at a glance.

In front of the barracks, a scribe in wide sleeves and curvy train was waiting far away.

The moment he saw Tuoba Tao appear, the scribes immediately stepped forward and knelt down, "Cui Haote came to plead guilty."

Tuoba Tao rode on the horse and looked down at Cui Hao who was kneeling on the ground, and said hoarsely, "You follow me."

Cui Hao hurriedly got up and followed Tuoba Tao on the right side of his horse with a good step.

Seeing Cui Hao's humble attitude at this time, Tuoba Tao was a little angry, because Tuoba Tao knew in his heart that these Han civil servants were the best at superficiality.

Tuoba Tao's voice has not fully recovered, he tried his best to lower his voice to make his words sound a little intimidating, "I lead troops to fight at the border, but you are very leisurely in the court. One Shang Shuling, one Situ, They even ran to the barracks without an order."

Cui Hao hurriedly knelt down and explained, "The queen mother heard that there was an abnormality in the celestial phenomena, and she was concerned about your majesty's safety day and night. She couldn't sleep or eat well, so she specially sent a minister to visit her majesty."

Tuoba Tao has always been suspicious of Liu Jie's sudden attack. It's not that he is so jealous of Liu Jie or the officials behind him, but that there are two empress dowagers and Cui Hao in the court, and Liu Jie is secretly hiding Chen Cang.

At this time, Cui Hao said that he was ordered by the Queen Mother, which shows that at least two people Tuoba Tao trusted and relied on were still on his side.This made Tuoba Tao calm down a lot.

Tuoba Tao rode a horse, Cui Hao walked beside him, and the two monarchs and ministers walked into the camp in silence.It wasn't until he entered the commander's account that Tuoba Tao dismissed the others, leaving Cui Hao alone for questioning.

"What's going on? Don't tell me that Liu Jie has done so many tricks, but you didn't even notice."

Cui Hao hurriedly apologized and said, "It is indeed my fault. As soon as winter came this year, there was a snowstorm in the north. The queen mother was afraid that the rear would be unstable and the morale of the army would be shaken, so she asked me to personally take charge of the disaster relief. During this period, a subordinate came to report and said Mr. Liu interacted too frequently with officials in the court, and he also found out some rumors. It's just that I thought Mr. Liu would wait until His Majesty returned to the court before writing a letter of impeachment. I didn't expect Mr. Liu to come to Rouran directly by taking advantage of his illness. If you are negligent, please His Majesty punish you."

Cui Hao obviously had it, but he was sincere and took the initiative to plead guilty, so Tuoba Tao had no choice but to lift it up high and send it down lightly.Otherwise, not to mention the Cui family of Qinghe, even other Han officials in the court would reprimand him for not being magnanimous.

Tuoba Tao was sullen for a while before he said, "You are responsible for finding out about Liu Jie. Whether there is someone behind him, and who is their eyeliner around me, you have to find out for me." .The imprisoned shaman will also be handed over to you for trial."

At this time, Tuoba Tao only wanted to pursue the only remnants of the Great Tan, and all these intrigues were simply left to Cui Hao to do.

But Cui Hao did not accept the order, and said calmly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to proceed. As soon as I arrived at the barracks, I wanted to interrogate the military shaman, but he died of excessive blood loss two days before I arrived. gone."

"What!" Tuoba Tao frowned, "I asked someone to help him stop the bleeding, why did he die?"

Cui Hao replied, "The minister sent people to check the body, and there was indeed no external injury, and there was no sign of poisoning. It should be that when the tongue was cut, it was cut an inch deep, which made it difficult to stop the bleeding. It's just... the shaman's tongue The wound is very fresh, it seems that my fellow ministers have learned that the day of being tongue-cut by Xian Ji's maidservant is not the right day."

Tuoba Tao lowered his face, "You mean someone murdered someone to silence him?"

Cui Hao didn't dare to speak nonsense, "The cause of this shaman's death involves Immortal Fairy. If we continue to investigate, Immortal Fairy will inevitably be involved. And the only person involved in this matter is Master Liu, but I feel that Master Liu and others Fifty-nine colleagues should also be deceived by others, so I beg your Majesty to make a holy judgment."

　Thank you Linxin Anyi and Dongzheng Mayflower for the monthly pass, yum!

　　Just a few words, this Lord Liu Jie in history is really a player who can't do anything and can't eat enough.It's also very good.There was such a person by my side before, every time I saw him doing something, I would get angry...

　　Push the books of the teammates of the Dark Horse team.
