Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 7
It is a big deal for Cui Canjun that someone tried to assassinate the supervisor and his son.

He didn't care about joking anymore, and said worriedly: "Sanlang has just escaped from the tiger's mouth, but he has entered the wolf's den again. The Xuebu has both sides, has been doing nothing for so many years, and now it has completely fallen into the black clothes, and it is said that it has changed. Letter, Saburo is in their hands, how can this be good!"

"The dog will be fine, there is no need for Mingfu to worry."

"It's all right?"

It is really not a glorious thing for her son to have an affair with the Xuebu Turk, and Han Shimei didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Cui joined the army and traveled in the Western Regions for less than three years, so he didn't know many things.

Chen Yichang knew a little bit, and explained: "Master Shiyu was promoted to an official position, and his talents are worthy of Jingbang. He once worshiped the prince's orthography, and was ordered to send Princess Lancheng to Xiaobolu for a marriage. Originally, the princess was sent to Xiaobolu. But back to Chang'an, but the princess married thousands of miles away, living two lives on earth, homesick and unhappy.

Lord Shiyu couldn't bear to leave, so he stayed like the princess's maids, staying in Xiaobolu for seven years, and Sanlang was born in Xiaobolu.At that time, the Xuebu was just a small tribe attached to Xiao Bolu, and Sanlang was very familiar with the wolf cubs of the Xuebu, so it can be said that they grew up playing together. "

Princess Lancheng married and got married far away, but Xiao Bolu finally turned against her.

Cui Canjun felt sorry for it, not worth it for the princess, and secretly sighed that it was not a good thing to be born in the emperor's family.

While admiring the Yi Bo Yuntian's Master Supervisor, he suddenly had a strange idea, who was Mad Saburo who was born to him...

Chen Yichang didn't know where he would think, and continued: "Nine years ago, King Bolu colluded with Tubo and intended to be disobedient. The princess was powerless to stop her, and died in depression. After finishing the princess's affairs, the servant minister took Sanlang Departure back to Chang'an.

Lin Zhongcheng, who had just arrived at the time, admired the great talent and admiration of the servant, and when he learned that the lord was coming to Guishu, he went out of the city to meet him in person, and invited him to be the inspector of Jiedu. "

It is very difficult to be admitted to an official position, and it is a talent that can be regarded as a "big talent" by Jing Bangke.

What's more, after he was promoted to an official position, he worshiped the prince's orthographic characters. It is an extremely noble and promising official position like the school secretary. No wonder Mr. Zhongcheng regards him as his confidant!
Cui Canjun secretly reminded himself that Mr. Supervisor must not make any mistakes, otherwise he would have to join the army for who knows how many years, and I am afraid that he would never even think about returning to Chang'an in this life.

"My lord, in the opinion of the lower officials, the most urgent task is to find out where the other party came from!"

"How to check?"

"Little lady, please think again, what else do you know about those four assassins and that little bastard who tried to impersonate Saburo?"

Yinniang racked her brains for a while, then raised her head and said, "The four assassins look like Sogdians... I remember, Sanlang said that the kid who wanted to impersonate him spoke with a Youzhou accent."

"Youzhou accent!"

"I've never been to Youzhou, I don't know where Youzhou is, and I haven't met anyone from my hometown Youzhou, so I can't tell."

"How did Saburo hear it?"

"I don't know that."

Yinniang muttered to herself that she couldn't tell you that the crazy young master and the little prince of Xuebu had gone to Chang'an to pay tribute with the little prince of Xuebu pretending to be a mission. They met people in Youzhou area in Chang'an, right?

Chen Yichang didn't think it was strange, he took a peek at Lord Supervisor, and said meaningfully: "Mingfu doesn't know something, Sanlang... Sanlang has a lot of friends, he can speak six or seven kinds of nonsense, and he can hear Youzhou accent No surprise."

"What a wide range of friends, there is no need to save face for the official, and there is no need to praise that rebellious son. He is ignorant, does not seek to make progress, and is either fooling around with a bunch of dubious people, or getting drunk like mud!"

"My lord, calm down, Saburo is not as miserable as you said, he is quite sensible."

"My lord, let's discuss the business. Now it is certain that this matter has something to do with the Sogdians. From Yele to Guishu, and from Guishu to Chang'an, there are merchants, merchants, soldiers, and officials. , how can there be so many Sogdians?"

"Although Nizi doesn't know the key, he has a saying that is on the point. It is not appropriate to investigate it with great fanfare now, otherwise it will be easy to scare the snake."

Han Shimei paused, and then said: "What I can't figure out the most is, what's the use of them looking for someone to pretend to be a traitor? Even if their trick succeeds, if they can send me Han Shimei to heaven today, that fake Saburo won't be seen. But what can I do to help them?"

"What your lord said is very true. Saburo is talented and intelligent, but he is indifferent by nature. He has no intention of official career, and he does not intend to make contributions in the battlefield. And if the fake Saburo is not dead, he will pretend to be fake to the end. But he is neither an official nor a soldier. What can you do to help them?"

"Chen Yichang, in my opinion, you may have preconceived ideas. Sanlang is only this year, and the ancients said that the prodigal son will not return money. If the gang of thieves succeed in their tricks, if something happens to both adults and Sanlang, that fake Sanlang can naturally pretend to be sad and angry." , work hard."

"Cui Mingfu, since you said that Sanlang is still young, even if everything goes well in my Tang Dynasty, how many years will it take for that fake Sanlang to show up?"

Chen Yichang asked a question, and said in an almost affirmative tone: "I dare to say that it is not Dashi's work, and it should have nothing to do with Tubo. They don't have the patience, and they won't make such a move. After more than ten or even decades, they won't do anything." Know whether it is useful or not.

What's more, in Dashi and Tubo, it is very difficult to find young people who are similar in appearance and age to Saburo, and are willing to be driven by them. "

Han Shimei felt that Chen Yichang's analysis made sense, and nodded slightly: "Not to mention Dashi Tubo, it is difficult to find such a similar one in my four Anxi towns. Besides, the dog can tell that the little one who wants to impersonate him The beast has a Youzhou accent."

"Youzhou... Youzhou is tens of thousands of miles away, what a game of chess this must be!"

"They think too highly of that traitorous officer."

"My lord, is there a possibility that these thieves are here for you, and it's just a coincidence to find someone to impersonate Saburo."

"But they made it clear to Quanzi that they decided to kill me today because they were worried that I would find out my flaws."

"Maybe it's just a saying."

"How do you say that?" Han Shimei asked in a low voice.

Chen Yichang pondered over and over again, and said: "The little bastard they found to pretend to be Sanlang is not very old, so it is inevitable that he has a young heart. And it is not easy to find someone who looks similar to Sanlang and is of the same age. Unable to ask. In other words, they may not have had much intersection before this."

Han Shimei asked: "So what?"

Chen Yichang straightened his mind, and analyzed: "If I am the mastermind, since I intend to follow this idle move, I will naturally tell that little bastard that I murdered you, so that he will not be seen by you. , out of concern for his safety."

Cui Canjun was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Make that little bastard feel that he has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility?"

"Exactly, as long as it is a child, it must be coaxed."

"But why did they murder me? I have never offended Sogdian merchants."

"My lord, it is true that only the Sogdians throughout the Tang Dynasty can find a little beast with similar appearance and age to Sanlang from thousands of miles away, but the Sogdians are not necessarily the ones responsible for this matter. Or not necessarily a Sogdian merchant.”

Chen Yichang's last words made Han Shimei and Cui Canjun's hearts skip a beat.

In the early years, the Dashi in white clothes and the Dashi in black clothes believed in different religions, and nearly wiped out all the Sogdians in the far west, and the remaining Sogdians ran to Datang one after another.

Today's Tang Dynasty not only has hundreds of thousands of Sogdian merchants, but also many Sogdians in the army.

Not to mention far away, let’s talk about Yele Town, there are more than 400 Sogdian soldiers, and even the town’s envoy, General An, is a Sogdian!
Thinking hard.

Han Shimei didn't dare to think any further, stared at Yichang Chen in astonishment, and muttered to himself: "Impossible, impossible, impossible..."

Cui Canjun was terrified, his whole body was in the cold, he was stunned for a long time before he said softly: "My lord, I think it's very unlikely, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Han Shimei took a few deep breaths and clenched his fists tightly: "It's absolutely impossible, the chief envoy must be someone else."

Yichang Chen also thought it was unlikely, but judging from the current situation, everything pointed to that person.

He was silent for a moment, then raised his head abruptly: "Master Siyu, it doesn't matter now whether it is what we thought, because even as we thought just now, distant water can't quench thirst, the most urgent thing is how to deal with it."
