Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 288 Leisurely My Heart
After screening, more than a dozen captured leaders of the Tianxing Army were detained separately.Several large carts were used to form a circle and serve as temporary prison cells. A dozen leaders of the Tianxing Army's rebels tied their hands behind their backs to the sides of the large carts.

The clothes of the dozen or so leaders of the Tianxing Army had already been beaten to shreds, revealing shocking welts.Two of the leaders had been beaten unconscious.Liang Zan carried a bucket of water with salt and poured it on the two unconscious people.The two leaders trembled all over, and slowly raised their heads.There was a tremor and a spasm all over.One of the Tianxing army rebel leaders with a sallow face gritted his teeth and let out a weak voice from his throat: "Kill me!"

Liang Zan sighed slightly: "General, why don't you bring these people to Jiexiu and ask the officials in Jiexiu's yamen to ask them. There is a specialization in the industry, and it is not the officials in the yamen who deal with such desperadoes." Do some more."

Xu Jingzong had a gloomy face, and smiled coldly; "Actually, they have talked enough!"

Liang Zan had always disliked Xu Jingzong. Hearing Xu Jingzong's words, he said displeasedly: "Xu Canjun, the general is in front of you, don't make jokes!"

Xu Jingzong frowned, and seriously analyzed it to Liang Zan. In fact, Xu Jingzong explained to Chen Ying: "Ants live by stealth, I don't think these people look like dead men, so there is only one reason why they didn't answer. They They are all abandoned children, and they don’t know anything about it.”

Liang Zan said: "Ambush the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, a town is handsome, and they can't do it without cronies and elites. How can these people not know?"

"True is false and sometimes false is true, false is true and sometimes true is false, true and false disturb people's hearts..." Chen Ying suddenly remembered a little poem in Dream of the Red Chamber inexplicably.Looking at the sheep's head arrowhead in his hand, Chen Ying said with a faint smile: "Xu Canjun, in your opinion, who is behind this scene?"

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "If the general returns to Chang'an, who will be most disturbed?"

Liang Zan blurted out, "Tianxing Puppet King Liu Wuzhou."

Xu Jingzong frowned, and said calmly: "Then let me put it another way, if it is a general..." Xu Jingzong paused, then cupped his hands towards Chen Yinggong and said: "General, please forgive Jingzong for his speechless words."

Chen Ying nodded and said silently: "But it's okay to say..."

Xu Jingzong said: "If the majestic Tang Dynasty martial arts mansion, the Hushi General was assassinated in the Shuque Valley, and the court questioned the crime, who would bear the brunt?"

Liang Zan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xu Jingzong said indifferently: "If you want to question the crime, the first person to bear the brunt must be Li Zhongwen, the governor of Bingzhou."

Chen Yingdao: "If a memorial from the manager is delivered to Chang'an, I'm afraid Liu Wuzhou will burst into laughter!"

After being glared at by Chen Ying, Liang Zan finally kept silent.

In fact, it was too far-fetched to analyze such things with his head.

Xu Jingzong vaguely guessed the truth. In fact, in many cases, no evidence is needed at all, and a motive is enough.With Chen Ying's identity and status at this time, it is simply not possible to kill anyone who wants to.

And there is only one person in Hedong who has the motive and the strength to assassinate Chen Ying.

Prince Consort Chai Shao.

Xu Jingzong didn't say the name because he found that Chen Ying didn't look surprised at all, obviously Chen Ying also thought of this.

Chen Ying sighed leisurely and said: "It is bound to be damaged, and the yin is damaged to benefit the yang."

Xu Jingzong was familiar with hundreds of classics. Hearing this, he asked in doubt: "Li Daitao is stiff?"

"Not bad!"

Chen Ying nodded.

In his previous life, he also grew up watching the Three Great Wars. Even in the past 20 years, there is a plot that Chen Ying still remembers vividly. "Put a fake mine on the top, and press a real mine on the bottom. The dead mine can be used flexibly, and its usefulness will blossom!" This is the so-called real and fake mine. I don't know how many devils were deceived by this trick.

The smile on Chen Ying's face became more and more strange.

Xu Jingzong looked at Tianye and said: "It's getting late, Shuque Valley is more than [-] miles long, and there are many dangers, while there is still time..."

Chen Ying asked calmly: "Does Xu Canjun really think that there are no ambushes in Shuque Valley?"

"There are still ambushes?"

Xu Jingzong guessed that if a hundred or ten people were used as bait and abandoned sons, it would be reasonable and sensible.However, there are thousands of people acting as bait. No matter at any time and anywhere, thousands of people are not a small number. If the other party really has so many manpower to waste.There is no way such a bad move will be taken.Xu Jingzong pointed to the corpses and captives all over the ground, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't these all?"

"These are all, but not all!" Chen Ying said: "Let's camp, we will camp outside Shuque Valley today."

Chen Ying was still wondering that these people didn't have a unified command, and they didn't have any rules.Now Chen Ying understood that these people were simply sending themselves to their deaths.The meaning of these people's deaths was just to paralyze him, so that there would be no more ambushes in Jiaxin Shuque Valley.But from the sheep's head arrows on Chen Jinyong and others, Chen Ying discovered the biggest problem.

Although there are many styles of arrowheads, the sheep's head arrow has always been one of the main equipment arrowheads for the army since its invention.Because of their strong armor-piercing ability and high damage, this kind of arrowheads are usually launched with a bow or crossbow with more than one stone, and they will never use hunting bows.

Hunting bows are bows and arrows made mainly for hunting.Because the target is the prey, in order to hit the target accurately, usually such a bow has good stability, but insufficient tension is the only fatal shortcoming. Using a hunting bow to shoot sheep-headed arrows is like BYD as a rocket tractor with insufficient horsepower.In addition, Chen Ying can see from the degree to which the steel arrowheads hit the iron armor that these arrowheads were definitely fired from a nearby bow with a stone or more, otherwise they would not have hit the single-layer armor blade at all.

However, not even a single bow or crossbow that was worth more than one stone was seized at the scene, which caused Chen Ying to have the biggest doubt.

"Li Daitao is stiff." Obviously, the other party took such a move, if there is no ambush in Shuque Valley, then there is a real ghost.

……

Outside the city of Taiyuan, outside the tent of the Chinese army of Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, Chai Shao was wearing a long white gown under the moon, and a soft-footed headband on his head.He put his name badge on He Yue'er in a personable manner.

He Yue'er took it gently, and looked at Chai Shao with a smile.

"Captain Chai Shao, Prince Consort, please see Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!"

He Yue'er gave Chai Shao a little blessing, and asked calmly: "Chai's son-in-law is honored, Your Royal Highness has orders, and the military affairs are busy, so please forgive me!"

There was a faint disappointment on Chai Shao's face, but he still said politely: "Please tell Miss He to tell Her Royal Highness, Chai Shao cares about my heart..."

After speaking, Chai Shao turned and left towards the distance.

In fact, Chai Shao was very angry in his heart, but he had nothing to do.

PS: Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
