Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 635

Li Canghai gently wiped Di Qing's tears away, and said, "Qing'er, you have worked hard these days, go down and rest first. I have something to ask them, be obedient."

Di Qing hesitated for a while, then nodded, and was supported by Fujiwara Kyoko to leave the camp.

After Di Qing left, Li Canghai looked at Gao Xianzhi and the others, and said in a deep voice, "How is the battle going?"

Su Hai took a step forward and said excitedly: "Marshal Hui, our army has killed more than ten thousand enemies in this battle. All the warships of Dongpu were burned by the fire. It can be said that the army of Dongpu has suffered countless casualties. Our army has won a complete victory in this battle!"

Li Canghai nodded, looked at Gao Xianzhi, and said, "General Gao, have those people been rescued?"

"Back to Marshal, luckily the last general did not disgrace his life, and all the enslaved people have been rescued." Gao Xianzhi said respectfully.

Li Canghai breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I'm relieved now. By the way, General Su, why didn't you go to Wuming Island as planned and lay an ambush?"

Su Hai and the others looked ugly, they knelt down to Li Canghai at the same time, cupped their fists and said, "The last general didn't arrive in time, and let the marshal fall into a trap, please come down to me!"

Li Canghai stared at them, frowned and said, "Get up and answer, what's going on?"

Several people were gnashing their teeth, and Su Hai said bitterly: "The Marshal doesn't know something, we have been tricked!"

"What's going on?" Li Canghai's face drooped instantly.

Su Hai thumped his fist and said angrily, "That's it. After the Marshal led the army to leave, I planned to go to the Unnamed Island and set up an ambush according to the plan. However, I didn't expect that the ship would start leaking not long after entering the sea." , Several ships sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant! Then, all the ships appeared more or less, and our army fell into chaos for a while."

Li Canghai didn't speak, he frowned tightly, motioning Su Hai to continue talking.

"The last general and others also felt strange at the time, and immediately ordered to stop the advance, move all the ships closer together, and ordered people to repair them. At the same time, they ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation in secret, and finally found the reason, but someone was plotting against me secretly. Army!" Su Hai gritted his teeth and said.

"Who is it?" Li Canghai also vaguely guessed this point, his voice became more and more cold.

Feng Changqing took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Li Canghai respectfully, and said, "Marshal, please have a look."

Li Canghai took the paper and read it immediately.

There was a fish drawn on the paper, nothing else.

"What do you mean?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"Marshal Qi, this is the mark we found on the people who destroyed the ship." Feng Changqing said.

"Where are those people now?" Li Canghai asked coldly.

Feng Changqing's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Marshal Hui, after destroying the ship, those people all committed suicide by taking poison, and no one was left alive. We only found this common mark on them."

Li Canghai looked at the sign, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that old eunuch to keep a bunch of dead soldiers. I really underestimated him!"

"Marshal, what did you say? Do you know who is plotting against us?" Su Hai was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

Li Canghai's eyes were cold, and he told everyone what he had heard from Tang Ao.

After hearing the words, several people were shocked.

After a long while, several people recovered from the shock.Gao Xianzhi said in astonishment: "Marshal, what should we do about this matter? Deputy Director Yu is the supervisor handpicked by the Holy Majesty, and we have no evidence to identify him!"

Li Canghai suddenly thought of Tang Ao, and asked, "Is Tang Ao alive or dead?"

"Tang Ao?" Several people looked blank.

"It's the man I tied up, why? Didn't you find him when you rescued me?" Li Canghai asked.

Gao Xianzhi suddenly realized, and said: "Return to Marshal, although the man was rescued, he is still in a coma until now. It is not known whether he will survive. Also, all the captains will be questioned at the end. But I have never seen this person before, could it be that the Marshal recognizes him?"

Li Canghai snorted, and said calmly: "This person is named Tang Ao, and he is a long-renowned rebel from the Tang Sect. This time he disguised himself and sneaked into the Eastern Expedition Army just to wait for an opportunity to kill me."

"This man is so courageous! How dare he assassinate the marshal?" Gao Xianzhi and the others were astonished.

Li Canghai waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. The old eunuch colluded with Dongying secretly, and it was all Tang Ao's mediation. He is the witness. General Gao, where is the old eunuch now?"

"Return to the general, he has escaped last night, after the last general finds out, he has already sent people to arrest him!" Gao Xianzhi said seriously.

At this moment, a school lieutenant quickly ran in, saluted everyone, and said, "Marshal Qi, those who escaped were captured by the last general and are now tied up in the school grounds!"

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, he nodded approvingly, and said indifferently: "Send the order, let all the soldiers gather at the school grounds, the commander has something to announce!"

After the school lieutenant responded, he immediately withdrew from the tent.

The rest Gao Xianzhi and others looked at Li Canghai suspiciously, Feng Changqing hesitated, and asked, "Marshal, what are your plans?"

"You will know later." Li Canghai said in a cold tone with a flash of angry killing intent in his eyes.

Several people looked at each other and stopped talking.

They admired Li Canghai the most. Before they arrived, Li Canghai led less than 5000 people to defeat the navy that Dongpu was proud of.

Especially in that big fire, all the thousands of warships in Dongying were burned, and the pirates in Dongying were killed and injured. It can be said to be very satisfying!
In their eyes, Li Canghai is the living Zhuge, the person they respect the most.

They respected Li Canghai, not only because Li Canghai was able to lead troops to fight, but also because of his character.

Li Canghai looks like a Confucian scholar, but he has clear rewards and punishments, and he values ​​love and righteousness.

As the saying goes: Kindness does not control soldiers, kindness does not control wealth.But Li Canghai was able to show both kindness and power, making the soldiers willing to die for him.

During the time they spent with Li Canghai, they all saw that Li Canghai was a human being.

Li Canghai never placed himself in a high position, but shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers, which was what they admired the most.

The so-called school field is an open space where all the soldiers have gathered at this time.

In the school grounds, the old eunuch Deputy Director Yu and several dead men in black had their hands tied, their bodies trembling constantly.

"It'll be fine, it'll be fine... I'm the prison officer appointed by the Holy Majesty, what else can he do to me? Yes, he doesn't dare! He definitely doesn't dare!" The old eunuch trembled, Talking to himself to comfort himself.
