"You are secretly observing the left and right. In addition to Chen Zixiao, the Khitans may have secret rooms hidden nearby." Xu Huai whispered to Xu Wuli, Zhou Jing, and Han Qi; Niu Er stood silly on tiptoe to see the situation on the Sujin Tower.

If the Khitans were indeed using the death plan, intending to provoke the generals and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army to kill and plunder the foreign people in Lanzhou, in addition to Chen Zixiao, there might be core figures lurking nearby to observe whether the situation was developing as they expected.

Xu Huai's own goal was too obvious. Chen Zixiao would look over from afar from time to time. He could only stare at the situation where the personal guards attacked Sujin Tower. Xu Wuli, Zhou Jing and Han Qi secretly observed the movements on both sides.

The combat effectiveness of the personal soldiers and soldiers around Ge Boyi is worth seeing, not to mention that Ge Boyi's eldest son and grandson Ge Yu personally supervised the battle.

Soon, I saw thick smoke rising from the backyard of Sujin Building. It looked like the Khitan spies resisted until the end. I could not resist it. At this time, the setting fire must be to create chaos and break through.

The Tianxiong Army has absolute advantages, so how can it allow the fish that escapes?

The battle ended soon, and then dozens of soldiers in imperial guards in armor and blood were withdrawn from the inside, and the soldiers on standby were carrying buckets to put out the fire; the fire did not spread and was soon extinguished.

The bodies were carried out from Sujin Tower. Xu Huai rode a horse in the distance and roughly estimated that nearly fifty strong men dressed in foreign people were annihilated, leaving no living mouth. The Tianxiong Army, including those who were attacked before, also parked nearly thirty corpses in front of Sujin Tower, were injured, and it cannot be said that they had received much advantage.

The Tianxiong Army currently absolutely controls the situation in Kelan City. Even near Sujin Tower, it has an absolute advantage. It has taken nearly 60 casualties to capture Sujin Tower, which is under control of a small number of enemy forces, and this is definitely not a complete victory.

This is also from the side that the foreign spies who resisted by Sujinlou are absolutely not weak in combat.

Ge Yu stood in front of Sujin Tower, with most of his face covered by a silver helmet, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could imagine that he was arrogant and would not be satisfied with such a record.

Ge Yu did not stay here for a long time. A commander of the Tianxiong Army told him several times, and soon led the Tianxiong Army's personal guards, who were not very casualties, to leave.

The blockade on East Street was not lifted, and more than 200 soldiers were on guard nearby.

Xu Huai didn't want to deal with Ge Yu. Seeing Ge Yu lead the team to turn out of East Street, he walked towards Sujin Tower with Xu Wuji, Zhou Jing and others.

“…”

Seeing someone coming to stop him, Xu Huaile stopped the horse and pulled out the military officer's waist card from the military inspector's yard.

Last night, there were so many generals and officials in Tianxiong Army having banquets and entertainment in Yinshan Lane. Although few people knew the identity of Duke Lu, the military supervisors' personnel from the courtyard were not only injured, but also forcibly detained three of them, which was seen by everyone.

It is conceivable what attitude the generals of the Tianxiong Army would have towards the people in the Military Supervisor’s Inspectorate!

However, after all, not everyone is Lu Duke, Xun Yu, the young master of the Ge family. The Tianxiong Army commander who stayed on the scene to clean up the mess was gloomy for a while, and finally he signaled to make way left and right.

"How could Xu Duodu have the leisure to run to the East Street? Could it be that he heard some wind again and came to Sujin Tower to inspect the military discipline?" Chen Zixiao led his horse over, glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and asked Xu Huai.

"Do I have leisure? What does it have to do with your mother? I have leisure. Your mother comes to play with me?" Xu Huai glanced at Chen Zixiao, took his feet and turned over a corpse. Seeing the deceased's nose and eyes were deep, but it was undoubtedly a foreigner.

Zhou Jing, Han Qi, and Niu Er stood beside Xu Huai, staring at Chen Zixiao with a fierce look, while Xu Wuli squatted over and looked at the subtleties of these corpses.

Chen Zixiao smiled awkwardly, but was not annoyed. He looked at Xu Wuli, Zhou Jing, Han Qi, Niu Er and others.

Niu Er and Xu Wuqi are strangers, but Niu Er is purely Kong Wu's powerful and is not worth his thoughts on it.

These corpses between the enemy will soon be dragged to deal with by Tianxiong Army. Xu Wuli has no time to waste. He squatted on the ground to check the dead bodies. In addition to looking at the tiger's mouth, wrist and arm joints, he also used his hands to touch the cervical vertebra and bone spine of the corpse. His techniques were both accurate and fast.

When Chen Zixiao saw this scene, he frowned slightly. He couldn't remember such a person in Tongbai Mountain. He stepped forward and asked, "This man looked like he was born in Tongbai Mountain?"

"Don't get close to you if you're fine. You are also a well-known person. You need to be cheap in front of us?" Xu Huai rudely interrupted Chen Zixiao, not asking him to have the chance to test Xu Wuli.

The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were neatly placed on the side of the stone street, waiting to be arranged to be collected. The corpses between the enemies were piled up in a mess, and blood continued to seep out.

Xu Wuli could not have taken out every corpse and looked at it carefully. It was also the responsibility of the military supervisor. If it was delayed for too long, he might be scolded by the generals of Tianxiong Army. After he hurriedly saw more than a dozen corpses, he stood up and signaled Xu Huai that they could go to Sujin Tower to take a look.

Xu Huai signaled Xu Wuji and Zhou Jing. Han Qi went in. He held the broken sword and crossed the yard, blocking Chen Zixiao, and asked arrogantly: "The military commander's yard wants to check whether there are innocent people who are killed, but what does it have to do with your military commander?"

The troops of Ge Huaicong, the third general of the Tianxiong Army, were stationed in Kelan City, and the sixth general Zhu Guangwu and other troops were previously controlled by the Lanzhou Military and Horse Commander General, but the Western Route Army of the Defeat Yan had been officially organized. As the elite of the Imperial Army, the Tianxiong Army was directly controlled by the commander Ge Boyi; the Lanzhou Military and Horse Commander General Secretary had only the power to control the Xiang army and the township soldiers, mainly led by Guo Zhongxiong, the governor and the transfer envoy of the West Route Army, and were responsible for food and fodder supply.

Chen Zixiao was considered a military official under the Suizhou Military and Horse Commission. At this time, many searches in Kelan City had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, the county magistrate was responsible for catching bandits and thieves, and at this time he had to withdraw people to maintain order.

Of course, Chen Zixiao could run to Sujin Tower without restrictions, and he obviously had a good relationship with the Tianxiong Army, especially the third general of the Tianxiong Army stationed in Kelan City.

However, Xu Huai must have stopped Chen Zixiao from entering Sujin Tower. Tianxiong Army stayed to take charge of the commander on the scene, but he had no choice but to explain. He also recognized who Xu Huai was from Xu Huai's strong body and arrogant attitude.

Unless you really want to cause trouble these days, who would touch the thorns holding chicken feathers as commanding arrows?

Seeing that Chen Zixiao had no intention of following him, Xu Huaicai slowly walked up the blood-stained second-story pavilion, with the ground full of confusion. It was not difficult to imagine dozens of people fighting fiercely in this narrow space.

The yard of the building also occupies a lot of land. Xu Huai jumped directly from the second-floor building window into the yard behind. There were more than a dozen soldiers in the wings extinguishing the remaining fires, and the cabinets were broken, and there were no valuable items left. Only some copper coins were scattered in the corners of some houses.

"I have touched thirteen corpses of the enemy. I have really been slapping my muscles and bones for a long time. There are only two people who are proficient in cavalry and shooting. The others look strong and strong, and they should be ordinary horsemen. And the more than 40 people killed by Sujin Tower this time, I suspect that at most seven or eight of them are Khitans' deaths..." Xu Wuli stood at the door, observing that there were no clues left inside, and whispered to Xu Huai about the situation he had just examined the corpse.

In the secret between Chen Zixiao and the Khitan people, even this time, he used a death plan to provoke the Tianxiong Army to kill and plunder the foreign people, Xu Huai guessed that they would not have used the elite Khitan scouts who had been carefully trained for many years.

This is now initially confirmed.

It was obvious that Chen Zixiao and others used the incident last night to spread the news, first inducing fear, dissatisfaction and hostility among the foreign people, and then gathered some of the emotional foreign people to Sujin Tower to launch a raid on the generals of the Tianxiong Army who entered the East Street to search.

At that time, some of the horse households in Sujin Tower were not aware of it, but the large Tianxiong Army surrounded the soldiers. They could not escape death when they saw that they were disarmed, and they were left to fight to the death.

This also caused dozens of enemies to resist stubbornly among the Sujin Tower, which was a false alarm for the Tianxiong Army to carry out a more severe search of the foreign people in the next step and crack down on the creation of evidence.

If it weren't for last night's incident, Xu Huai thought to himself that Wang Bing, Wang Fan might be able to persuade Ge Boyi and others to take this matter carefully, but seeing that Ge Yu did not hesitate to silence the thirty-one people in Nuanxianglou, Ge Boyi sent Zhou Qi to the military supervisor to force the court to demand people, Xu Huai knew in his heart that this matter could no longer be restored.

Or maybe Chen Zixiao had already known about the existence of Duke Lu yesterday. After learning about the chaos in Nuanxianglou, the county magistrate found the military supervisory envoy who had only been established for one day. Is it really Chen Zixiao's hand that it was facilitated by Chen Zixiao?

"Did you notice the suspicious person just now?" Xu Huai asked when he saw Zhou Jing coming from the next house.

"It should be, but it is hidden too tightly." Zhou Jing shook his head and said.

Chen Zixiao lurked across the border three or four years ago, and came to Lanzhou in late March after the New Year. Considering that Xiao Linshi had been deposed, Chen Zixiao successfully contacted his hometown, it was unlikely that he would be the head of the Khitan network in Lanzhou.

In order to provoke the Tianxiong Army to kill and rob foreign people, several Khitans were willing to sacrifice their lives during their deaths, which was not something that Chen Zixiao could do at this time.

There must be important Khitan figures in Kelan City, but unfortunately they can't see any clues at this moment; they don't have enough people to search.

"Do we want to inform the king of the king?" Zhou Jing asked in front of the corridor.

Although they hated the Duke of Lu and the Ge family's behavior, they were involved in the plan to conquer Yan in the north, and Zhou Jing and Xu Wudi could not wait to see the Khitans' treacherous plan succeed.

I kept Chen Zixiao and didn't pull it out before, just to find more clues from Chen Zixiao.

Even though it is possible that Ge Boyi would sit idly by their warnings, as long as there is a possibility of making up for the failure, Xu Huai could not think of any reason for failing to pass Wang Bing and Wang Fan to give Ge Boyi a warning...

Or should he completely give up the delusion of defeating Yan with his own strength?
