Chapter 227 The fog is heavy
Scarface is usually a mighty person in Luocheng, but at this time, when Ye Shurui and Nalan Wan's sings, he knew that he could not compare with the people in front of him. People like him are accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. As long as you are more fierce than him, even his own mother can sell it to you.
"A few days ago, General Dingguo received an order from Zhennan Pass to Beijing. He was attacked by Daqingshan and was wiped out by the entire army. General Dingguo was also missing. Lord Chengguan sent us to inquire and see if there were any living people." Scarface was still trembling, but he said everything he knew.
Nalan Wan frowned, "Is it attacked? Not an accident?"
Previously, Jifeng brought news that an accident occurred, but it was not said that it was an attack! The other people were also puzzled.
Scarface nodded, and naturally he was plotted against. That was the general of Dingguo and the pillar of the country. Is there such a good surprise?
"How could General Nalan be attacked with 150,000 troops and troops back to the court? He was wiped out? He was talking nonsense!" Nalan Wan was furious. If someone designed a sneak attack, it would be even more impossible.
At the beginning, Zhennan Pass was in an emergency, and Nalan Huai was ordered to order 300,000 troops to the battlefield overnight. Now, Emperor Yongding summoned him to bring half of the reinforcements back to Beijing, and he was full of trouble. Who would dare to fight for 150,000 troops?
"Who said that General Dingguo brought 150,000 troops?" Scarface was stunned. Who were these people? How could they have such a whimsical idea?
Isn't it? Now, the few people were panicked. If there were no 150,000 soldiers... General Nalan was indeed very likely to be ambushed.
"Tell me carefully, how many troops will General Nalan bring?" Ye Shurui asked calmly.
Scarface remembered the corpse he saw, and roughly estimated it, saying, "It's only about a thousand people, it should be the personal soldiers of General Dingguo."
Nalan Wan's heart was shocked. What a huge gap between 1,000 and 150,000 people! How could such a mistake occur?
"You just said that this team was wiped out? What about the general of Dingguo?" Ye Shurui also felt a slump in his heart.
Although there are not many people in a thousand, if someone deliberately ambushed it, it is not too difficult to deal with a few thousand people.
"No one of us knows General Dingguo, but we don't find anyone who looks like a general in terms of the clothes and outfits of the deceased." Scarface seemed to guess that the identities of several people were not simple, but he was not as scared as at the beginning, and he cooperated very much.
These words made the few people feel a little relieved.
Ye Shurui was still a little doubtful about his identity, "Since he was a city guardian of the government, why didn't he wear official uniforms?"
"This matter was reported to the court, saying that His Highness Xuan personally handled it and the local government was not allowed to intervene. Our city guard did not dare to disobey the court's orders, and was afraid that someone would destroy the scene or that someone would not be treated alive, so he quietly sent us to guard it." Scarface was captured here by several people inexplicably, and he felt that this matter was not simple.
The few people were silent for a moment and asked nothing more. They didn't know what to do with this person for a while. They thought they were the person behind the scenes, but they killed them after asking, but now it's not easy to deal with.
"Uncle, please spare me, I've said everything I know!" Scarface didn't see them asking the next question for a long time, and his eyes looked back and forth on him, his heart sternly, and he began to beg for mercy again.
Ye Shurui was silent for a moment, "I was knocked out and threw it to a place where someone passed by in the mountains."
Just letting him go back like this is not guaranteed to the safety of them. If he kills him and cannot take action, he is not a vicious person after all.
Qingqin took the man away and had to throw him away.
"What do you think?" Gu Yang asked, feeling even more worried. The news seemed to be quite different from the facts.
Ye Shurui analyzed: "What this person should be telling the truth, but it is not certain whether what Cheng Shou said to them is true or false. Qinghu, go and check who Cheng Shou in Luo City is and how he is."
Qinghu naturally took the order, but fortunately, Luocheng is not far from here, so it would take a short time for his lightness to go back and forth.
"The news brought by Jifeng said that Dad brought 150,000 troops back to Beijing, but in fact he only brought 1,000 people. What's going on? A Rui, could it be that the news channel in your capital was wrong?"
If 150,000 soldiers were really accompanying him, who would dare to plan a sneak attack?
Ye Shurui shook his head, "Luo Yi is responsible for the intelligence network in the capital, and the news is absolutely correct. But why did Uncle Nalan not comply with the imperial edict?"
"Dad has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and he will not fail to obey the emperor's imperial edict." The person who knows Nalan Huai's best here is Nalan's lateness. She knew that General Nalan would never resist the imperial edict.
Ye Shurui walked back and forth twice and pondered: "Then, let's make a bold assumption. If Luo Yi's news is not wrong, and if Uncle Nalan did not resist the order, then... there is only one possibility that someone tampered with the order!"
Nalan Wan's heart was thumping, this... was too incredible! She felt as if she was surrounded by a conspiracy, and they were in the center of the whirlpool storm.
"Then this man set up an ambush on the way to get rid of Uncle Nalan, and use this to induce Ming Zhao to leave the capital and reuse the same trick. At present, his plan is very successful. Even if these two people are still alive, their whereabouts are unknown, and everything is developing in a direction that is beneficial to him." Ye Shurui continued to analyze.
However, when he thought of the person behind the scenes, he felt extremely heavy.
"Arui, who do you think it will be?" Nalan Wan grabbed his sleeve.
When he was in the Minglan Jing City, Ye Shurui was arrogant and playful, and often played with these royal grandsons and nobles. Naturally, he knew their nature better than her.
Ye Shurui held her little hand, and her slender knuckles passed through the gaps in her fingers and tightly linked to her hands, with dark eyes.
"Ming Yin, Ming Kai, Ming Jun and King An are just one of these people. Whoever they are, will always have their tails exposed." The adult prince, except for the prince, there is only three, and the other one is the brother of Emperor Yongding, King An, and the rest are almost impossible.
Nalan Wan was stunned, but he didn't expect that he would count Ming Yin as well. King Su and his father went on a war with him, staying away from the capital. It is logical that he should not be in the suspect.
"King Su Mingyin is far away from the border, so he can't stretch his hands that long, right?" Nalan Wan expressed his opinion.
Ye Shurui nodded. He just listed all possible people, "It shouldn't be him, but he still has suspicion."
"Is there any way to find out where the prince's cousin was missing?" Nalan Wan thought of Prince Mingzhao and was even more worried.
If he was still in the capital, they would not have been so passive.
"This trick is really clever to lure the tiger away from the mountain. However, Uncle Nalan and Ming Zhao have been missing for so long, why is there not the person behind him..." Ye Shurui also had something he couldn't understand.
