Traitor

Chapter 236 The Man Behind Gradually Surfaced

Zhao Wuyou casually handed over the superstition in his hand, and Suxi quickly took it.

Wen Gu hurried up to take a look, and looked at Su Xi with a slight look in his eyes, then raised his head to look at Zhao Wuyou, "This..."

"The news came from Mu Yao, so it must be true. Qi You's palace is too quiet, it must not be a good thing." Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, and Su Xi stepped forward to tuck the quilt for him.

Su Xi clenched the secret letter in her hand, "Young Master, is there something tricky here? The Princess's letter said that the gate of King Qi You's mansion is closed, and King Qi You said he was sick. Are you trying to hide something?"

Zhao Wuyou frowned, "King Qi You is an old fox, it's really hard to say."

"The capital city is too peaceful. King Qi You claims to be sick, and the main force of Dongchang is here. Isn't this capital city dominated by the Zhao family?" Wen Gu hesitated, "Your father, Zhao Song, probably should take over power."

"That's not going to happen." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "My father is very scheming, if you monopolize the power at this time, if the peace negotiation fails at that time, the burden of the court will fall on the Zhao family alone. My father didn't So stupid, he will monopolize power at this time."

Wen Gu frowned, "What will happen then?"

"Wait and see!" Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "No matter what you do at this time, it's inappropriate. Once my story reaches the capital, it will definitely alarm the emperor. Others don't know why Mu Baili came here, but the emperor It's because he knows it well, and he has a guilty conscience. So the emperor dare not really fight against Huanglan, he can only put on a show!"

"Before the heat of my matter has not subsided, the capital will make a difference, but if my father is in power at this time, do you think he will fight or not? Going to war means that the emperor's plan will fail. If you don't go to war Well...how can he be worthy of his own son who is seriously injured in a foreign country?"

Su Xi paused, "The prime minister is on par with King Qi You. Of course, he can see what kind of posture King Qi You is, so he will definitely not be the first bird. Now the situation between the two countries is turbulent, no matter who it is If you monopolize the power of the court, there will be no good fruit in the future."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, "So, my father is not that stupid, he would monopolize the power in a situation where one person dominates. Isn't this putting himself under the emperor's nose and looking for death?"

"Sure enough, he's a treacherous and cunning man," Wen Gu muttered.

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Wuyou again, seeing that Zhao Wuyou didn't respond, he let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Wuyou no longer cared about everyone's evaluation of Zhao Song. In fact, Zhao Song was really treacherous and cunning.After raising a dog for so many years, it still has feelings, let alone a human being.

"Tell Mu Yao to visit Qi You Palace more often. During this period of time, something happened to me in Huanglan, and Qi You Palace will definitely take action." Zhao Wuyou stared, "Xiao Rong is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Yes!" Su Xi nodded, turned and walked towards the table.

Zhao Wuyou was injured, so this ink had to be written by Suxi.After writing the secret letter, it has to be handed over to Lu Guoan.

"Let's go out for a while." Suxi bowed, and exited respectfully.

As for the capital city, Zhao Wuyou had already made all the necessary arrangements before leaving, except for Prince Qi You's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, these two heart problems could never be completely cured.

There are too many variables in Prince Qiyou's mansion and the prime minister's mansion, there is really no way.

Lu Guoan's falcon delivered the letter and arrived in the capital, which was much faster than the pigeon's delivery of the letter.

"Prince Qi You's mansion is too peaceful. King Qi You said he was sick and would not stay at home. The young master feels that there is something tricky inside." Suxi looked at Lu Guoan, "If you have any news from Dongchang, remember to let us know, everyone is also welcome Everyone is prepared to avoid being caught off guard.”

Lu Guoan nodded, "Dongchang will pay close attention to Prince Qi You's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. The news we got is similar to yours, so there is no big news to tell you for the time being. But soon, there will be good news."

Su Xi was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"

"Master Qiantui hasn't received the news yet, so I have nothing to say for the time being, but Dongchang has already started to deal with it, and I think there will be an answer soon." Lu Guoan's eyes darkened, "There are some things that can't be fooled. Only A fox is a wolf, there is always a result."

Since Lu Guoan didn't want to say more, Suxi naturally didn't ask questions, looked around, and then said vigilantly, "Be careful and simple, he met someone outside the camp that day."

Lu Guoan clenched the cold sword in his hand, "Who is it?"

"I don't know." Suxi shook her head, "I followed the young master's prompt and deliberately walked around the camp, only to find a few pairs of footprints, but after identification, they should belong to Jian Yan and another person. Who is that person? I haven't found out yet, and I haven't found anything new nearby these days, so I don't know where that person is."

"These damn things." Lu Guoan frowned, "I will tell Lord Qiantose about this matter, and Lord Qiantose has been inquiring about Xuehu's whereabouts all this time, but there is very little information, and he dare not do it blatantly. Now that Huang Lan is in the limelight, the whole of Huang Lan is under investigation for the assassin incident, which is not conducive to action."

Su Xi knew it too, so she could only sigh helplessly, "Then be careful!"

Lu Guoan nodded, and the two left quickly, going back to their respective homes.

The current situation in Huang Lan is very chaotic. Taking advantage of the assassination of the Daye Mission, he made drastic investigations into important military and political affairs, saying that there were spies from neighboring countries deliberately doing so to provoke a war between the two countries.

By doing so, the suspicion of Huanglan can be eliminated, secondly, it can temporarily appease the Daye Mission, and thirdly, it can also be used to eradicate some veterans and stubborn generals in the army.

Huang Lan's emphasis on martial arts over culture has resulted in the failure of many policies to be implemented. Because of the obstruction of the military, those policies are extremely difficult.Civil officials cannot be valued or reused, so that in Huanglan, the power of generals has overshadowed the power of emperors.

That General Barry's life was not easy, because of Zhao Wuyou's incident, he was misunderstood by the people all over the world, and they all thought he did it, so he was investigated by the court.The civil officials pushed their hands, and the military officers were a little afraid to intervene. As a result, General Barry's position was temporarily dismissed.

Resentful in his heart, Barry swaggered and led the people into Daye's camp, directly saying that he wanted to find Zhao Wuyou.

But at this time, Zhao Wuyou's health has just improved, how can Su Xi and Wen Gu allow General Barry to be presumptuous.The two sides were at a standstill, deadlocked.Barry yelled at the tent in a blunt Daye words, "Get out of here, you bastard."

"Young Master?" Su Xi clenched the cold sword tightly in her hand, "If he dares to be presumptuous again, I will chop him with a single sword."

"If you go down with your sword, my chess game will really be broken." Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "Don't worry, this is Daye's military camp, so it depends on where you want to be if you want to be unrestrained. People are bullying so much Mu Baili will not ignore his own head. Although the Zhao family and Dongchang are not on good terms, they still have to be consistent in fighting the enemy. Otherwise, he will not be able to complete the task of negotiating peace. He, the number one leader, will have to suffer Going around?"

Thinking so, it is true.

Su Xi guarded the door, Wen Gu blocked the outside, Jin Yiwei and the guards surrounded the entire camp, not allowing Huang Lan's people to come closer.

Wen Gu snorted coldly, looked at the extremely arrogant General Barry, raised his eyebrows slightly, and responded with extremely skilled nonsense, "As a general, I don't know the laws of the country and the army. What do you want to do, you still want to harm the mission, and you still want to start a war between the two countries? The general doesn't know how to restrain himself, and repeatedly violates our bottom line in Daye, it is really hateful."

Barry didn't expect the old man to be able to speak Huanglan's words. He was startled at first, and then his eyes widened angrily, "Bastard, this is my Huanglan's territory, not a place where you soft bastards like Daye can show off their power!"

"Who is showing off?" Wen Gu retorted.

No one can touch Zhao Wuyou, otherwise he will do his best.

"Tell Zhao Wuyou to come out and meet me!" Barry shouted angrily.

Wen Gu sneered twice, "Master Zhao is seriously injured, doesn't General Barry know it well? This will be good, do you want to make up for it again? Let me tell you, with me here today, you don't want to be arrogant here."

"Kill him!" Barry gritted his teeth.

Huang Lan's sergeant received his order, and immediately drew out his scimitar, and the swords and swords of the two sides faced each other in an instant, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Jian Yan stood aside without saying a word, just staring at the two sides intently, no one knew whether he understood the conversation between the two, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Only Su Xi who was inside the door opened the curtain and gave him a gloomy look.This Jian Yan is really not simple.Su Xi turned her head, "My lord, do you think Mrs. Jian can understand Huang Lan's words?"

"That's hard to say." Zhao Wuyou rubbed his brows, "Aside from other things, in terms of knowledge, Jian Yan has read a lot of books, and Bao Buqi has also learned Huanglan's words. It's just that he hasn't mentioned it all these years , I have never asked, the specifics are not clear."

Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "I think he understands."

"How do you know?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

"People who don't understand will have an inquisitive look in their eyes, but on Jian Yan's face, he can't see anything. He hasn't even seen the slightest hesitation or confusion, so he must be able to understand it." Su Xi sneered twice, "This man is too gloomy, I feel panicked just looking at it."

Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "He wasn't like this before, if he gets flustered, he will take a few more glances, and he will get used to it."

Su Xi smiled and remained silent.

There was a lot of movement outside, but it was still very quiet inside the tent, Zhao Wuyou didn't seem to have any intention of coming out.

Barry was already angry. Seeing that the war was about to start, Mu Baili finally arrived unhurriedly. He gave Barry a cold look, with a gentle smile on his face, "General Barry may have gone to the wrong place." Right? This is the military camp of Daye, if the general is going to the palace, I can send you a ride. Why use knives and guns? It will only hurt the peace of the two countries."

"Hand over Zhao Wuyou!" Barry didn't care what Mu Baili was saying, he still yelled in his blunt Daye words.

"Master Zhao?" Mu Baili smiled coolly, "What does General Barry think? Eat it alive, or cut it into pieces? This Master Zhao is a pillar of Daye, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a first-rank official. If I can easily let you take Zhao Wuyou away under your nose, and return to the capital in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it."

"General Barry, don't embarrass me. Go back where you came from, so that when your king and queen rush here, no one will look good. General, what do you think?"

As soon as the deputy general beside him translated, Barry couldn't hold back his face, "I won't leave without Zhao Wuyou today. You cunning Daye people, you dare to frame me like this, you should be damned!" If I don’t ask an answer today, I will definitely not let it go.”

"Answer?" Mu Baili smiled, "This answer comes from people's hearts, and it's not on Mr. Zhao. The general is so persistent, isn't he afraid that it will become more and more black in the end? A piece of advice, quickly withdraw the troops and leave, or spread the word—the general If you wantonly provoke the name of war, it will fall on your head."

"Bastard!" Barry had already reached his limit, "Kill me!"

"Stop!" Chi Duo roared, and looked at Li Yi.The two hurriedly got off their horses, and the sound of horseshoes came from behind.It is conceivable who is behind this.

Ada Khan and his queen, Ye Jin'er, also rushed there. This General Bari broke into the camp of the Daye Mission without permission.

"Presumptuous!" Ada Khan shouted angrily.

At that moment, all the sergeants knelt down and saluted.

Mu Baili glanced at Lu Guoan, and Lu Guoan stepped forward, "Everyone back down!"

After the sound fell, all Jin Yiwei and guards pushed away immediately.Seeing this, Barry could only order the troops to withdraw. His face was colorful at the moment, obviously resentment to the extreme.

Barry saluted the empress reluctantly, clenching his fists.

"Go back!" Ada Khan scolded angrily, "Do you still think the matter is not big enough? I want everyone in the world to know that I, Huanglan, is a barbarian country, and I can't even tolerate the envoys of neighboring countries. Do you want to kill everything else?"

"This old minister doesn't mean that!" Barry looked up, "Old minister..."

"Get out!" Ada Khan's anger had reached its peak.

Under the eyes of everyone, Barry couldn't disobey the king's will, so he could only stare fiercely at Zhao Wuyou's tent, and immediately walked away, even forgetting to salute the empress.

Such reckless behavior really does not take the king seriously.Therefore, getting rid of this proud old minister is a necessary way to maintain the imperial power, and the opportunity must not be missed.

"What happened this time was that I didn't restrain well." Adal sighed softly.

"Things have calmed down, and there is nothing wrong with this seat. Master Zhao still has injuries on his body, and General Barry has come to make a fuss every few days. I guess he can't bear it?" Mu Baili smiled coldly, Looking at Ada Khan meaningfully, "Master Zhao will be injured at that time, don't blame me for not reminding me in advance."

Ye Jin'er nodded, "What Lord Qiantui said is absolutely true." She looked back at her husband and said meaningfully, "My Majesty and I will definitely deal with this matter properly, and it must be done anyway."

Ada Khan nodded, but didn't say anything more.After thinking about it, he walked slowly towards Zhao Wuyou's tent.

Suxi told Zhao Wuyou early that Emperor Huanglan arrived, so Zhao Wuyou had already lay back on the bed at this moment. Her body temperature was already low for ordinary people, so she pretended to be ill whether she pretended to be sick or not. sickness.

When the empress came in, Zhao Wuyou was still dying, and the two of them just glanced at the bedside.Suxi saluted, but did not dare to speak, then followed the emperor and walked out of the tent.

"Young Master's body is weak to begin with, so the injury has been repeated. After taking so many medicines, it still doesn't get better." Su Xi looked worried and solemn, "If the prime minister knows that the young master will suffer such a big punishment, he probably won't Dare to let the son take risks."

The last sentence was naturally to put pressure on the empress.

Ye Jin'er said, "We know that Mr. Zhao has suffered a lot. We have been investigating this matter, and we will have a result soon. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao. I am not arrogant and unreasonable as you say. I will definitely Do business as usual, and will never condone."

Su Xi saluted, "I thank the king and queen on behalf of the young master."

Since he came to the camp, he naturally couldn't walk too fast, so Ada Khan and Mu Baili went elsewhere. Suxi didn't want to care what the two of them would say, but turned around to look for Jian Yan's trace.

This kid—he's going crazy, he was quieter than anyone else just now, but now he runs faster than anyone else.If Jian Yan had no ghosts in his heart, Su Xi would have swallowed his own cold sword.

If the bastard really dared to cause trouble, Su Xi felt that she would really tear this kid up, sooner or later.

Suddenly, Su Xi narrowed her eyes and said to Wen Gu, "Protect Young Master!"

When the sound fell, Su Xi had already flown away.Her speed was very fast, as if she had discovered something, she could not tolerate Wen Gu's questioning, and she had already disappeared from Wen Gu's sight.

"What's going on?" Wen Gu was stunned, horrified, and immediately turned back to the tent, "Su Xi has something urgent to go out, it seems that she found something. I wonder if something will happen?"

Zhao Wuyou frowned, "What's the hurry?"

Wen Gu shook his head, "Su Xi didn't say anything, but left in a hurry, and didn't even have time to explain."

"Su Xi is not the kind of person who doesn't explain anything, she must have discovered something. If you just stare at this place, there is probably a turmoil just now, and someone is fishing in troubled waters." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his dangerous eyes.

Wen Gu was taken aback, "You mean..."

"We'll find out when Suxi comes back." Zhao Wuyou sneered twice.

The only one who can make Su Xi so anxious is Jian Yan, otherwise, with Su Xi's temperament, it is impossible to leave like this.She has been following Zhao Wuyou all these years, so Zhao Wuyou is very clear about her behavior.

Indeed, Suxi did not leave without a reason.She found someone running away in the tent, logically speaking, no one should be so reckless in the envoy's camp in Daye.Thinking about it, this isn't meticulous work, it should be...

People in the woods?

That's why Su Xi is unequivocal, she can't move Jian Yan for the time being, and the young master has nothing to do with Jian Yan.But if the evidence is convincing and the evidence is obtained, then Jian Yan can't help but deny it. Isn't it just a matter of killing or cutting?
This incident tells us that there is a limit to watching the excitement, and it depends on who the protagonist of the excitement is.Zhao Wuyou's excitement is so beautiful?

Su Xi's feet were flying fast, and someone was stopped in the small woods.

The man was wearing the clothes of the guards, but he kept his head half down.At first glance, Su Xi felt that this person's expression was a bit stiff, probably the leather surface was made temporarily, and the craftsmanship was not good, so it was not delicate at all.

A good leather cover can highly overlap with a person's face, and can have a fluctuating expression, but the man in front of him is extremely stiff.

"You are not a member of the guards at all." Suxi drew her cold sword out of its sheath, and looked at the man in front of her coldly, "Who the hell are you? How dare you come in and out of the barracks freely, what is your intention?"

The man stared coldly at Su Xi in front of him, but Su Xi felt a little familiar with this look.The look in people's eyes is very familiar, as if they have seen it somewhere.But where have you seen it?
Su Xi thought for a while, but really couldn't remember for a while, after all, she saw a completely strange man through a strange leather.

Since you can't recognize it, then see the real chapter under your hand.

With an angry shout, Su Xi handed over to the man along with the sound of cold weapons being handed over.This person's martial arts is also very familiar, it seems that he has fought against him before, but he can't remember exactly where he fought against.

Fortunately, in terms of martial arts, Su Xi has the upper hand.

The cold sword whizzed past, and cut off the man's cuff with one sword, revealing a black part inside.Only then did she discover that the man was probably wearing her own clothes underneath, probably because Su Xi didn't expect Su Xi to find him and chase him so far, so he didn't have time to take off his disguise, so he could only bite the bullet and fight Su Xi.

There was blood overflowing, the man was flustered for a moment, Xu didn't expect Suxi's martial arts to be so high, he was taken aback immediately.After being stunned, the man wanted to run away, but He Suxi chased after him, how could he let him escape.

Su Xi flew away, piercing the man's right shoulder blade with a sword, she had to keep alive, she didn't want to kill anyone for the time being.Because of this, his shoulder blade was broken, so that the cold sword in his hand fell to the ground on the spot.

Seeing that someone has been caught, unexpectedly there was a whistling sound of cold arrows in the surrounding forest.

Several arrows were fired, and Suxi immediately backed up several steps and did a quick backflip to avoid these random arrows.But at the moment she avoided it, the man had managed to get up, supported his seriously injured body, and jumped forward.

"Bastard!" Su Xi gritted her teeth, "Who?"

Turning around, it was Huang Lan's sergeants, all holding bows and arrows with their heads high and high.The leader was a strange face, who warned Suxi with Huanglan's words, "This is the land of Huanglan, if you dare to kill people here, I will let you know how powerful it is."

If it wasn't for not wanting to cause trouble for Zhao Wuyou, according to Suxi's temper, these people must pay the price.However, what this person said is still right, this is Huanglan, not Daye, Suxi can't help but act recklessly.

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Su Xi stood there with a cold face, watching this group of haughty Huang Lan soldiers swaggering away, it was just like what was said earlier, the appearance of these people was too coincidental.

After thinking about it, Suxi picked up the rags on the ground, intending to follow the bloodstains, but found that the bloodstains were gone within two steps.There are footprints everywhere, and I don't know where that person went.

"Damn it." Su Xi gritted her teeth in hatred.

A duck that reaches its mouth will fly as soon as it says it will fly, otherwise everyone would go crazy.

Therefore, when she returned to the camp, Su Xi showed resentment on her face, and pressed the sword in her hand on the table with a "snap", which shocked Zhao Wuyou.She has never seen Suxi get so angry, it's weird, isn't she going to do something?Why did you get angry when you came back?
"Didn't it work?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Su Xi took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down, "The sword is already stained with blood, but the cooked duck still flew away."

"What kind of duck is this?" Zhao Wuyou asked slowly.

Su Xi said, "I've already broken his shoulder blades, but I didn't expect a group of soldiers from Huanglan to shoot that man away with random arrows. It's unreasonable. I think it's what they agreed. This man can You can come and go freely in my Daye barracks, if you say we don't have ghosts here, I won't believe it!"

"You mean, Jian Yan?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened slightly.

Wen Gu handed over a glass of water, Su Xi sighed softly, and drank the water in the glass, only then calmed down a little.After a pause, Suxi took out a piece of black cloth from her sleeve, "Just bring back such useless things."

"Cut it from that person?" Wen Gu looked at the gaps in the piece of cloth and inspected it carefully, "It doesn't seem to be anything special, but the material seems to be more expensive."

"Show me." Zhao Wuyou said.

Wen Gu handed the piece of cloth to her, "I can't see any difference, isn't it just a piece of cloth?"

"This thing, there may not be such things." Zhao Wuyou gently rubbed the cloth with his fingertips, "I am in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so the Ministry of Rites often has to contact Si Zhifang, for the sacrificial ceremony and some domestic etiquette teachings , there are strict regulations. This kind of cloth should be a kind of official system, in other words, few people dare to embezzle it privately."

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Gu was puzzled.

"Do ordinary people dare to use the material for official uniforms?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes were slightly cold.

Wen Gu was shocked, "You mean, this is, is it made of material for official uniforms?"

"Silk, satin and silk materials are strictly stipulated in Daye. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are strictly hierarchical. How can they overstep?" Zhao Wuyou sneered, "Generally speaking, the clothes of every court official are issued by the court. Yes, this material comes from the palace, the folks cannot imitate it, otherwise it will be rebellion."

"But there is also a situation, that is odds and ends. Su Xi, you can touch your body and see if it is very close to this one?"

Hearing this, Su Xi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reached out to touch her clothes.To be honest, she really doesn't know much about fabrics, after all, she doesn't need to handle some things at all.The reason why Zhao Wuyou understands is because Yunzheng attaches great importance to this area.

"The imperial court does not use so much material to make official uniforms, so some fabrics are used by the emperor to reward the ministers of the various courts, and the ministers will also reward their closest servants or confidants, and then add their own mansion. The totem will become the unique clothing of each mansion. After all, such a good material is not worthy of all servants." Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze was coldly focused on the cloth in his hand.

The next moment, Zhao Wuyou's body stiffened in shock, staring at the cloth in his hand in disbelief.Ruyu's fingertips lightly brushed the surface of the cloth, "What is this?"

Wen Gu stepped forward, "It's blood."

"No!" Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "I'm talking about this line!"

At one corner of the black cloth, there was a drop of blood, and there seemed to be a faint line under the cover of the blood.To be more precise, this is not a thread, but an extremely inconspicuous trace left behind because a thread was drawn.
