"Ten days ago, a group of thieves sneaked into Qiao Guo Gong's mansion at night, and took the old man and Zhe Wei to a village outside the city."
Chai Shao's voice was full of exhaustion.
Cheng Yi nodded, but did not speak, but motioned Chai Shao to continue.
"The old man tried his best to finally escape from that village, and encountered several rounds of siege on the way back to the city."
"That being the case, why didn't Duke Qiao ask for help from Jin Wuwei?"
After thinking for a while, Cheng Yi asked.
Chai Shao's smile became even more bitter, he shook his head in despair, and said, "Jin Wuwei can't be trusted."
Jin Wuwei can't be trusted?
Cheng Yiwu thought to himself, it seems that Chai Shao should have asked the Jinwu Guard for help, perhaps, it was because he had asked the Jinwu Guard for help that he had fallen to this point.
If so...
Cheng Yi frowned slowly, something big might happen to Chang'an City.
"Qiao Guogong thinks, who did this?"
Cheng Yi asked.
"I can't think of it, but since the other party can bribe the Jinwu Guard and take the old man and Zhewei out of the city, their status must be not simple."
It's really not that simple!
Cheng Yi even felt that the person who could have such a big budget might even be a certain prince.
However, if it was really the prince, why did he take Chai Shao and Chai Zhewei away?
After all, judging from the current situation, Chai Shao has already lost any value that can be used.
What is the other party's purpose?
"Duke Qiao."
Thinking of this, Cheng Yi looked up at Chai Shao again.
"You're not telling me the truth."
Cheng Yi asserted.
Since the opponent chooses to use Chai Shao who has already lost power, there must be something in Chai Shao that is worthy of the opponent's big fight, or even the risk.
Hearing Cheng Yi's question, Chai Shao was stunned.
He didn't expect Cheng Yi to think of this so quickly.
He hesitated again, wondering if he should take out his only hole card so quickly.
"Qiao Guogong has no sincerity to cooperate, and I don't have to waste time on you."
Cheng Yi is tired of Chai Shao's overthinking nature!
After saying these words, Cheng Yi got up and prepared to leave.
"General Cheng, wait a moment!"
Seeing that Cheng Yi was about to leave, Chai Shao also hurriedly stood up, and he hurriedly asked Cheng Yi to stay.
Cheng Yi stopped and stood with his back to Chai Shao, but he still didn't speak.
Chai Shao looked at Cheng Yi's back with red eyes, he was suddenly out of breath, he knew that this was his last chance.
"There is indeed something in the old man's hand."
After saying this, Chai Shao suddenly slumped down on the chair as if he lost his strength.
Since the death of his wife Princess Pingyang, he has never told anyone about this matter, and it will be made public one day after all.
"what?"
Cheng Yi turned his head, his eyes as deep as an abyss stared at a few steps away for a moment, as if he had suddenly aged Chai Shao in his teens.
"Yes..." Chai Shao swallowed heavily, and then continued: "It was an imperial decree and a jade seal issued by the late emperor after Prince Yin was killed."
Hearing this, Cheng Yi finally had a surprised expression.
Chai Shao took a few more deep breaths, and then slowly said: "The former emperor once said that only those who can get the imperial decree and the jade seal can truly inherit the state."
Li Yuan is also a son who knows how to make things happen, and he is no better than himself. Did he think that with just an imperial decree and a jade seal, he can drive his son who is already in power from the dragon chair?
"So, the gang of thieves who kidnapped the Duke and the prince were all for the imperial decree and the jade seal?"
Cheng Yi asked.
Chai Shao nodded wearily.
He once thought that he would never reveal this secret in his life.
Cheng Yi rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and scolded Li Yuan for looking for trouble for nothing.
However, what Chai Shao confessed did narrow down the scope of the target.
After all, the only people who can know such secrets should be members of the royal family of the Li family.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
Chapter 83 Ding!Go with the flow!
"I will leave Beijing in five days, and I am afraid that this matter will not be resolved until I come back."
Cheng Yi said to Chai Shao.
Chai Shao looked at Cheng Yi with some trepidation, and said, "General Cheng! What should I do, old man?"
Cheng Yi returned to Dao Chai Shao's side, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "During the time I'm away from Beijing, the Duke can just stay at the General's Mansion with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Chai Shao suddenly widened his eyes.
"Duke Qiao doesn't think that once I leave Beijing, I won't be able to protect Changle?"
After saying this, Cheng Yi left Chai Shao with an inexplicable smile, and immediately turned around and left the slightly cramped room.
After Cheng Yi had completely left, Chai Shao finally realized belatedly that he had been deceived by Cheng Yi!
Chai Shao thumped the table heavily.
He was indeed in a mess, otherwise he wouldn't have imagined that Cheng Yi, now the leader of the Sixth Army of the Beiya, would not be able to protect Li Lizhi comprehensively.
but……
After the anger of being cheated at first, Chai Shao, who had calmed down again, had fully figured out that even if it wasn't now, if he really wanted to save the lives of himself and his son, the only person he could rely on was Cheng Yi.
Thinking of this, Chai Shao lowered his head dejectedly.
No matter what, what he wants now is just a way to survive.
……
The next day, Liangyi Hall.
Because of what was discussed yesterday, Princess Wa, who has been under house arrest in the deep palace since she entered the Daming Palace, finally showed her face in front of the officials for the first time.
Seeing the princess of the Wa country standing gracefully in the palace, almost all the courtiers were shaken by the other party's dazzling appearance.
The few courtiers, including Kuang Shulai and Wei Zheng, who were not attracted by the princess of the Wa Kingdom, all set their sights on Cheng Yi who rarely came to court.
As for the two Japanese ninjas who had been beaten to pieces, they did not attract much attention from the courtiers.
After a long time, some ministers even began to boldly guess that this beautiful princess may have been taken by Li Shimin for his own use!
Without giving them too much time to think about it, Li Shimin entered the Liangyi Hall.
In the main hall, the princess of the Wa Kingdom told the conspiracy and tricks of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom with tears in her eyes.
After listening to her confession, the courtiers finally stopped thinking about it, and became excited.
Li Shimin glanced at the officials, and couldn't be more satisfied with their reactions.
"I have made an agreement with Cheng Qing that he will lead his troops to Japan soon!"
Li Shimin said loudly.
"This time! Let those wolf-minded and ambitious people know about it! My Tang Dynasty has never been an existence they can covet!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the officials immediately knelt down and shouted long live.
If at this time, there are still people who still say that they can't go to war when they know that the Japanese state intends to assassinate Li Shimin, they will become the target of public criticism immediately.
Fortunately, among the ministers who can stand in the Hall of Liangyi, none are so stupid as that.
At this moment, only Cheng Yi, who was dressed in court clothes, was still standing upright in the hall, his eyes were looking straight ahead, facing Li Shimin who was looking at him.
"Chen, I will not disgrace my life!"
Cheng Yi said loudly.
In the early morning five days later, Cheng Yi, who had arranged many matters in Chang'an City, joined the 5 Shence Army outside Chang'an City.
"All generals obey orders!"
Cheng Yi raised his arms high and gave a loud drink.
"set off!"
"Yes!!!"
The 5 Shence Army responded loudly.
As soon as Cheng Yi pulled the rein, the horse under his crotch spread its hooves and galloped forward.
Behind him are the 5 Shence Army soldiers who followed closely behind him.
Long before the Shence Army set off, the news that the Japanese sent people to assassinate Li Shimin had already spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Every time the army arrived in a town, people greeted them without exception, and the people cheered and cheered one after another, resounding in every city.
In less than half a month, the Shence Army, who traveled day and night, had already arrived at the first destination of their itinerary.
