A few months ago, due to the intense fighting in the northern border of Daqian, the imperial court had to activate the Qishan Cavalry, which was increasingly distrusted by them.

It is the duty to serve the country and protect the territory. Even though it has been increasingly ignored by the court in recent years, the sense of mission in the hearts of the bannermen has never wavered for a moment.

After receiving the order, the coach Duanmu Hongtu took his deputy Han Yuyang and his 50,000 cavalry and rushed to the battlefield. After they entered the battlefield, the war situation with the enemy Beiyan was quickly reversed.

In the past half month, 18 cities were recaptured one after another, and the Northern Yan army was defeated steadily, and they could only take an uncharacteristic defensive stance.

This was the first time that this happened in the war between the two countries. When the Beiyan army faced the border troops in Daqian Town, their strength could be described as crushing, but only when they encountered the Qishan cavalry , but seemed at a loss.

The two armies then took Liaocheng as the boundary and entered into a stalemate. On the one hand, Da Gan seized the time to repair the city, build garrison equipment, and hoard food and grass. On the other hand, he actively mobilized troops and generals to replenish the supply of troops.

The overall war situation is stable and improving, and some people in the temple have begun to advocate a large-scale counterattack, not only to drive the Northern Yan people out of the Daqian territory, but also to send troops northward to invade the southern territory of Dayan.

However, just when everyone thought the situation had reversed, news came from the north that Duanmu Hongtu had been assassinated.

That night, after Duanmu Hongtu and the other officers discussed military matters in the central military tent, they took off their armor and went to sleep. They lived in peace all night. It wasn't until noon the next day that everyone didn't see the commander's account, and then they realized that something big had happened. .

After it was discovered that Duanmu Hongtu had been killed in the military tent, someone immediately revealed that deputy commander Han Yuyang had sneaked into the coach's tent in the middle of the night, so he was the murderer.

For a time, the military camp was in chaos. Han Yuyang escaped in a panic under the protection of his confidants, and then went all the way south to Shangguan Town.

The Qishan Cavalry, which had lost its coach and was shaken in military morale, was immediately violently attacked by the Beiyan army. In front of them were wolf-like enemy troops, and behind them were the border troops who were extremely distrustful of them. The situation could be said to be difficult. The danger is extremely dangerous.

In the end, they lost the city they had just recaptured. The Qishan cavalry was forced to give up their good cavalry fighting in repeated battles to stop the enemy, and instead relied on the city to either hold on or fight in the streets. As a result, more than half of the 50,000-strong army was quickly lost. .

This is the series of events that happened before and after Duanmu Hongtu was assassinated.

Han Yuyang and Duanmuqing looked dull and unhappy. They had deep feelings for Qishan, and now they just wanted to wash away their grievances and bring justice to Qishan.

"We have been in the royal capital for half a month. Although the court did not take any drastic measures against Qishan because of the emperor's relationship, we have not been able to trace any clues about the murderer. Maybe we thought wrong?"

Han Yuyang held the tea cup tightly in his hand. In the cup was the scented tea that Wu Yue had just brewed for them. The fragrance was fragrant and refreshing.

It's just that although this tea is good, I don't want to taste it.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and then said: "According to what you said, you did enter the military tent on the way that night. At that time, you happened to find General Duanmu with a short sword stuck in his chest, and he was already near death."

"He told you that the person who attacked him had a tattoo of a three-eyed snake head on his chest, and told you to keep quiet and secretly trace the whereabouts of the murderer. At the same time, he also mentioned that the reason why Lao Wu left Qishan was because of this tattoo. related."

Han Yuyang nodded.

"After that, you received the military talisman from General Duanmu. His last instruction before his death was for you to leave the military camp with the military talisman. If you feel outnumbered and desperate, you can go to Lao Wu."

Han Yuyang nodded again, and all his actions after that were carried out according to Duanmu Hongtu's words.

Although Lao Wu has left the Qishan Army for twenty years, his status and reputation are still there. Moreover, Lao Wu is also directly related to the three-eyed snake head tattoo, so you can get great help from him.

After leaving Duanmu Hongtu's military tent, Han Yuyang remained calm. He secretly investigated who had entered the military tent before him, but he gained nothing all night long.

In the end, he could only wait until dawn the next day, escape from the military camp with the help of some cronies, and head south.

Before he died, Duanmu Hongtu realized that there must be a rebel in the military camp, and the man behind the rebel might be an unusually large force. He regarded Han Yuyang as the hope of saving Qishan.

Jiang Chen reviewed the entire incident again, and the only thing that caught his mind was that the day before the incident, he went to Qishan Military Camp to reward the officials of the three armies on behalf of the imperial court.

"Yanzhou Mu, Wang Qiaoling."

This person came to Qishan Military Camp the day before Duanmu Hongtu was assassinated, and quietly left the place of right and wrong after the incident. Therefore, Jiang Chen believed that this person was highly suspicious. If he could be investigated thoroughly,

It should be possible to find out the truth.

After that, Wang Qiaoling claimed that he was ill and came to the royal capital to recuperate. He had been living there for nearly half a year.

Han Yuyang and Duan Muqing were investigating this person recently, and found that he had hardly been seen outside in the past six months and had been living in a private house in the west of the royal capital.

As a result, their investigation became difficult, and Han Yuyang became anxious when they could not find any clues.

"Perhaps Wang Qiaoling is just an outsider who happened upon this incident by luck."

Duanmuqing expressed his guess, but Jiang Chen didn't think so.

There are a lot of doubts about this person, but they are covered up just right, making it impossible to find out more about him. Things can't be such a coincidence.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said: "It seems that we must find a way to enter that private house to see how Wang Qiaoling is doing now. In addition, the man with the snake head tattoo on his chest that we met in the morning must also be investigated!"

Lao Wu died for revenge, and he indeed killed Qi Zhaoxuan with his own hands, but if the latter was just a member of a huge organization, then it means that Lao Wu's revenge was not completely over.

"Let's do this. I'll check out the man with the tattoo first tonight, and then I'll find a way to sneak into Wang Qiaoling's private house. In short, don't be impatient. These things are not as easy to do as you think."

Han Yuyang drank a few sips of tea and finally felt calmer.

Because he was still a wanted criminal, it was inconvenient for him to act arrogantly in the capital, so now he had no choice but to leave this matter to Jiang Chen.

"However, you have to do me a favor." Jiang Chen suddenly said.

"Just tell me, there is nothing more polite between you and me."
