The Book of Heaven

Chapter 313 Who is the Traitor
There is no rush to find a master for Ma Zhao, because Ma Zheng is not sure whether there will be warriors from the outer door who enter the inner door among the old monsters hidden in Zhuge's house. Are you willing to accept horses as disciples?These are all unknowns, and Ma Zheng can only figure them out slowly.

Relying on their own strength, the Zhuge family suppressed the intrusion, and with Qi Yun as the leader, Qin Tian and Bo Dingtian personally led the team to arrest all the outsiders in Qianwei County for interrogation After one round, almost the entire Lianyun Gang was wiped out, including Qin Shi, who advised Qi Yun.

It has to be said that Qin Shi didn't have any strengths other than being a little clever, and he was a little scared by Bo Dingtian, so he recruited everything.

The news from Qin Shi's mouth confirmed Ma Zheng's guess. Among the twelve innate warriors who attacked Zhuge's family this time, more than half were from outside the Han Empire. He came here under the command of the Da Yue Clan. As for the identities of the other people, Qin Shi didn't know. He just guessed from the other party's few words that these people should come from a certain wealthy family in the Han Empire.

"Unfortunately, of course one should be left alive."

After all, those second- and third-rate warriors don't know the origins of the innate masters at all. I'm afraid only those few innate masters know. up.

In fact, including Qin Tian and Ma Zheng, they didn't care much about the actions of the Dayue Clan. After all, the two sides were in a state of hostility, and no matter what they did, they could justify it. On the contrary, it was the one who hid in it and led the masters of the Dayue Clan all the way. The wealthy imperial family who killed Zhuge's family is the object of hatred for everyone.

"It's a pity that it is almost impossible to track it down now. Hmph, even if there is a little bit of convincing clue, we have to report it to the imperial court and wipe out the whole family of this traitor!"

"Brother Mingxin, in fact, the clues are not really broken!"

Faced with Zhuge Mingxin's anger, Ma Zheng rubbed his forehead, and then said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Zhuge Mingxin looked at Ma Zheng in surprise, and then turned his head to look at the old man, but saw that the smile on the old man's face was somewhat similar to that of Ma Zheng.

"Oh, I said brother-in-law, why are you so tricky at this time, hurry up and tell me, where are the clues?"

"Brother Mingxin, it's really not that I'm trying to trick you. You see, the old man has thought of it too. I just don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Tell me, my old man will listen too."

Zhuge Yashan knew that if he didn't speak, Ma Zheng, a little fox, would definitely not speak.

"Okay, then I said, it's actually very simple, even if everyone is dead, it doesn't matter, after all, there are still some people who must know the inside story, if we want to find out, we only need to find these Understood, that's all."

"Who?"

Zhuge Mingxin scratched his head, it would not be a problem for him to study those ordnance, but it is really not his strong point to use his brains on these things, and Zhuge Mingxin's performance at this time once again made Master Zhuge Yashan shake his head slowly.

"Brother Mingxin, think about it, who sent them here?"

"Of course it is, you can really think! Even if they know, we can't catch them and bring them back for trial!" Zhuge Mingxin finally understood after being reminded by Ma Zheng. In my mind, it can't be done at all.

"What's the hurry?"

Ma Zheng glanced at Zhuge Yashan again, and saw that the old man had no intention of stopping him, so he continued: "Brother Mingxin, you haven't understood yet, have you? Think about it, why the imperial court suddenly increased the production of ordnance this year , and even the limit data of the Zhuge family has repeatedly broken through? Think about it again, when have foreigners come to Zhuge's house to make trouble in so many years, and connect these two things."

"Ah, so to say..." Zhuge Mingxin is not the kind of person who has a bad brain. It can only be said that he is too focused on the ordnance manufacturing he loves, so most of the time he devotes his full attention to it, and pays attention to other things. Of course, the strength is not so careful, and it is impossible to find out the connection keenly.

After such a simple analysis by Ma Zheng, Zhuge Mingxin also understood, his face flushed suddenly, his eyes quickly glanced at Zhuge Yashan, and then he approached Ma Zheng and said in a low voice: "You mean, this The next imperial court has made up its mind to kill the Da Yueshi."

"This is not the point." Ma Zheng nodded and said, "Although you have already seen it, this is really not the point."

"What's the point?"

Zhuge Ming was taken aback for a moment, and the smugness that had just surfaced in his eyes also dissipated.

"The point is that the news leaked out."

Ma Zheng said it very easily, but the faces of Zhuge Mingxin and Zhuge Yashan were very solemn.

You must know that the friction between the Han Empire and those small countries around it has never been interrupted, sometimes in the south, sometimes in the north, and sometimes in the southwest, but only in the northwest direction. Since the founding of the Han Empire, there has been no real peace However, otherwise the Wubao of the Ma family would not have been repaired one after another.

Speaking of which, there is no fertile land in the northwest that is worthy of the Han Empire's covetousness, but the folk customs in the northwest are the most aggressive. The rulers and think tanks of the empire's successive dynasties firmly believe that if those ethnic groups in the northwest cannot be swept out, they will be left alone. Development, sooner or later, will become a serious problem for the empire.

It is precisely because of the guidance of this kind of thinking that the imperial court has never given up on suppressing the small countries on the northwest border. On the one hand, they use these small countries to continue training troops, and on the other hand, relying on the great national strength of Nuo Da, they have been accumulating strength.

Looking at it now, the imperial court probably felt that it had accumulated enough power, so it was preparing to launch a major military operation, and the target was undoubtedly the Da Yuezhi Kingdom, which occupied a major position on the northwest border.

The Da Yue Clan is actually not simple. For so many years, it has been suppressed by the Han Empire, but it can still develop. If it is replaced by other small countries, it may have disappeared. This also shows the sturdyness of this nation. .

"Who leaked the news? I don't believe that the Da Yue Clan's secret agents are capable of this!" Zhuge Mingxin clenched his fists. As a man of Han nationality and a veteran of a wealthy family, Zhuge Mingxin hated treason more than anyone else. thief!

"Okay, Mingxin, you don't need to get too entangled in this matter. The responsibility of our Zhuge family is to carefully build the ordnance needed by the emperor's court within the specified time. As long as the quality of the ordnance we build is reliable, that is The biggest contribution we can make."

Zhuge Yashan finally spoke, he tapped the table lightly, and said: "You just need to know these things, don't talk too much, you need to arrange the work in the workshop, don't count on this kid. "

"Grandpa, don't worry about this, I will definitely do a good job, but maybe I can do better if Ma Zheng is here."

"I've said it all, don't count on this kid, he still has his own business." Zhuge Yashan glanced at Ma Zheng and said meaningfully.
