The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 187
At this time, the secret letter sent back by Li Gaoxiang was already in Ran Hai's hands. After reading the report for your sake, and knowing that Ye Junyan was not in the accompanying team, Ran Hai began to doubt the rumored Ye Junyan's insanity. Is it true or not?

"Could it be that Ye Junyan is not crazy at all? Everything is a play directed by Zhu Xinning and Ye Junyan. They want to cover their eyes and return to the capital quietly? But there is no news from the capital. What's going on?." Ran Hai was thinking a little confused, when suddenly there was a report from outside the door, saying that he was from the capital.

When Ran Hai heard that he was from the capital, his spirits were lifted immediately, and he quickly let him in.

Soon a middle-aged man in a black dress came in, knelt down to salute Ran Hai, and Ran Hai hurriedly helped him up and said, "Forget all the etiquette, tell me quickly, what news is there in the capital?"

"My lord, Gu Xinning has returned to Beijing." The man in black replied
Ran Hai frowned and asked, "Is Gu Xinning alone? Is the emperor with him?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "No, only Gu Xinning is alone."

Ran Hai frowned deeper, and he couldn't figure out more and more, what was there in the middle that he hadn't considered, "Is Ye Junyan really crazy? But why can he escape robbery? Is there an expert helping you secretly?"

Ran Hai was concentrating on thinking, when the man in black spoke again: "Lord Prime Minister, the empress dowager asked me to ask you how the situation in southern Xinjiang is? The empress dowager said that if the situation in southern Xinjiang is stable, please return to Beijing as soon as possible, Gu Xinning returned After arriving at the palace, they were replaced by our staff drastically, and now the harem is full of Gu Xinning's people, the Empress Dowager hopes that you can go back and preside over the overall situation."

Ran Hai shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "Preside over the overall situation? How can I preside over the overall situation as a mere fourth-rank official? Sigh."

After Ran Hai finished speaking, he bowed his head in silence for a while, and then said to the man in black: "Go back and reply to the Empress Dowager, and say that the Emperor is still at large, and this is the best time to kill Ye Junyan. , I can't go back for the time being, you let the empress dowager do everything cheaply, and avoid her edge for the time being, and I will go back immediately when the matter Ye Jun said is over."

The man in black knelt down and said: "I obey, I will go back and convey the Prime Minister's message to the Empress Dowager." After the man in black finished speaking, he kowtowed to Ran Hai and got up to leave.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that the man in black turned around and was about to leave, Ran Hai hurriedly called the man in black, and confessed: "You let the empress dowager move out the fetus from the womb of Concubine Yun as a shield when necessary, or she can protect herself .?"

"Yes." The man in black clasped his fists again and replied.

Ran Hai nodded, waved his hands and said, "Okay. You can go!"

"Your subordinate will leave." After the man in black finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left Ran Hai's tent, rode on another new fast horse that Ran Hai's subordinates had prepared for him, and headed towards Zhaoxuan Kingdom at high speed.

"Ye Junyan did not return to Zhaoxuan Kingdom, there is a chance, there is still a chance!" Ran Hai muttered to himself.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Ran Hai asked the four patriarchs, Ha Qishan, Tuobatu, Xiao Yan and Mo Changhao, to go to Mo Changhao's residence under the pretext of visiting and comforting him. them.

After sending a few people to inform the clan leaders, Ran Hai quietly took a carriage to Mo Changhao's mansion.When Ran Hai arrived, the other group leaders hadn't arrived yet. Mo Changhao led Ran Hai into the inner hall, came to a secret room, and asked Ran Hai, "Why is Prime Minister Ran in such a hurry?"

Ran Hai opened his mouth and said: "Qishanling's information has come back now, and Ye Junyan's team is out of our team."

Mo Changhao nodded calmly and said, "I already know about this matter, and I believe the other patriarchs have already got the news, but there is one thing that I don't quite understand, and I just want to ask Master Ran for advice."

"I don't dare to advise, the team leader has any doubts, but it's okay to say." Then he said politely.

"According to my reports, the person sent by Master Ran to command this operation, for some reason, ordered everyone to stay in ambush at the original place, neither to search in the mountains nor to search along the road. What is the meaning of this?" Mo Mo Chang Hao asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Ran Hai thought to himself: "Hmph, you secretly sent people to inquire about the news, but you didn't let me know, you obviously don't trust me, and I haven't expressed my dissatisfaction yet, unexpectedly, you will ask me about the crime first. "

Thinking of this in his heart, the smile on Ran Hai's original face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly: "Li Gaoxiang has my approval for this matter, you must know that the mountain forest is extremely vast, let alone a thousand people, even if you send ten thousand It is impossible for people to search every corner, not to mention the pain, if all the people are sent blindly into the mountain to search, what if Ye Junyan is not in the mountain at all? Doesn’t it mean that there are no guards on the road? Ye Junyan can come and go freely."

Mo Changhao was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "This"

Ran Hai saw that the words just now had basically calmed down the other party, so he continued: "I originally hoped that the team leaders would send more troops to participate in this operation, but the team leaders had doubts about Ran Hai and asked everyone to go with him. Ran sent the same number of people there, if the patriarchs at that time were able to get rid of their doubts about Ran Hai and were willing to send more troops, they would be able to surround a larger area, and maybe Ye Junyan would not be able to escape."

"This is..." Mo Changhao has been saying "this" for a long time, not knowing how to respond. After all, what Ran Hai said was not a lie. At first, Ran Hai really hoped that the team leaders would send more troops, at least 1000 each. , In this way, the front and rear roads passing through Qishan Mountain can be surrounded on all sides, and all the opponent's way of life can be blocked, so there is no need to rely on the method of setting up an ambush on the high ground to snipe the opponent, and the opponent has a chance to escape.

Ran Hai continued to say aggressively: "You have to look at my actions, Ran Hai, before you act, but you forget that this is Southern Xinjiang, not Zhaoxuan Kingdom, but your territory. How much can Ran do here? How many people will you bring?"

Mo Changhao was left speechless by the other party's words, and he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Oh, Lord Ran can take a boat in his belly. You have a lot of adults, so you will definitely not care about us. What should you do next? Just tell us, we I will never be suspicious anymore, everything has been done according to Master Ran."

At this time, the other 3 people also arrived one after another. After listening to Ran Hai and Mo Changhao repeating the previous conversation, the 3 people also expressed their apologies to Ran Hai, saying that they will follow Ran Hai's actions in the future and will never Doubt Ran Hai again.

But we still shook our heads and said, "Well, the situation has changed now. In addition to letting Qishanling continue to closely monitor, we also need to secretly deploy more troops nearby. Now that Gu Xinning has returned to Beijing, if my guess is correct, Once Gu Xinning finds out where Ye Junyan is missing, he will send an army to garrison within a few days. On the one hand, in order to find Ye Junyan, and on the other hand, in order to prevent someone from harming Ye Junyan again, what should we think about? Only then can our people, surrounded by Gu Xinning's army, not be discovered."

Mo Changhao said: "Then let our people dress up as soldiers from Zhaoxuan Kingdom and sneak into their troops."

Ran Hai said: "The army wants to send people there to find out information, but it is not easy to be discovered if more than a dozen or twenty people are mixed into the army. He can't."

Tuobatu was silent for a while and then said, "How about pretending to be a hunter in the mountains?"

Ran Hai said: "This can be done, but also the number of people cannot be too large, only a small part can be arranged, and other people need to be arranged separately."

Xiao Yan frowned and asked: "Then how should we do it? Can it be logical?"

Ran Hai was silent for a while, and said: "If we can convince all the patriarchs in southern Xinjiang to fight Zhaoxuan again, the two armies can confront each other at Qishanling."

The four of them looked at each other for a while, shook their heads and sighed, and said, "Impossible, at least temporarily impossible. Before the Ying clan introduced a new chief, no one had legal rights, and the Ying clan now has a high priest. From very close, I am afraid that I have been bewitched by the high priest, and I will not easily decide to send troops."

Ran Hai continued: "What if the four of you join forces to send troops?"

When the four heard the words, they were agitated again. Mo Changhao said, "You want the four of us to lead the tribe to rebel against southern Xinjiang? I'm afraid."

"It's not rebellion, it's isolation. Although the Ying family in Nanjiang has been dominant for nearly four hundred years, so what? Has it been like this from the beginning? No! After checking the history of Southern Xinjiang, the original Southern Xinjiang was originally a tribe that governed alone and was not restrained by others." Ran Hai said slowly.

Tuoba Tu frowned and said: "Although the words are good, but the southern border was poorer than it is now. Without the unified planning and management for more than 400 years, the southern border would not be as strong as it is today. It is impossible for us to take the lead in dividing the southern border. Jiang, I'm afraid Master Ran has some ulterior motives in making this suggestion!"

Xiao Yan also snorted coldly and said, "That's right, I think your lord wants to take the opportunity to divide our various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. In this way, after our four families work together, of course, after your lord gets rid of the thorn in Ye Junyan's side, we must It will fall into a situation of robbing each other and conquering each other, and then there will be no spare energy to go to war with Zhaoxuan Kingdom, and Lord Ran can sit alone in a peaceful and prosperous world."

Ran Hai smiled quickly and said: "The old man just put forward a suggestion for everyone to consider, and there is no selfishness. Please don't be suspicious. This method will not work. Let's think of other methods. Don't make another mistake because of this. The same mistake of distrust as last time!"

Mo Changhao nodded and said, "It would be best if Lord Ran didn't mean that, otherwise, there would be no value and necessity for us to cooperate."

Ran Hai hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, the cooperation between us is based on the mutual interests of both parties. This old man will never use it for his own purposes. Please rest assured the four patriarchs."
