Jin Xi chuckled. Fortunately, he was well prepared and had already asked clearly about the ins and outs of this poison.

"Your Highness, this is a poison used by the Huns to control their soldiers. It is extremely sinister. And the antidote to this poison has always been in the hands of the King of the Huns, and it has never been passed down from generation to generation."

Li Yunxing nodded, meaning there is no cure for this poison?

But the death of King Zhaoyang actually involved the Huns, so even if Li Yunxing didn't want to worry about it, it would be difficult.

I'm afraid there may be another mystery to this matter.

The death of King Zhaoyang was a trigger, and this matter must be investigated.

The news that King Zhaoyang was poisoned and died soon spread in the palace.

Jiang He led people to investigate the Zhaoyang Palace day and night, and finally found a gap in the palace wall outside the door, with a little blood stain on it.

After finding some clues, Jiang He quickly reported the matter to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Yunxing closed his eyes. The rising temperature in recent days made the cicadas chirp even more harshly.

Jin Xi hummed and fanned Li Yunxing, with big beads of sweat falling on his head.

This year's midsummer is extremely hot, and walking under the sun seems to dry you out.

After listening to Jiang He's reply, Li Yunxing did not answer in a hurry.

This trace is about the height of a person, and it also contains blood stains. Since the palace maid disappeared and disappeared, she has probably been silenced.

At least it proves that the palace maid responsible for guarding King Zhaoyang had a conflict with the murderer outside the other courtyard.

That is definitely not someone from the Liu family faction, or even someone who makes the palace maid feel threatened.

In fact, the answer was already obvious, but Li Yunxing didn't understand what it had to do with the Huns.

At this time, Luo Zipao, the captain of the imperial army, came into the palace to report.

"His Royal Highness, Captain Zhan Jun from the Northwest Camp has arrived in the capital and is now waiting outside the palace. He wants to see His Highness!"

This is Li Yunxing's secret chess, Zhan Jun.

After General Wu Shumiao died, Li Yunxing took Lian Zhan, Zhan Jun and others to take back the military power of the northwest camp.

But he is the prince after all. If the military power is placed in his own hands, I am afraid there will be a lot of gossip.

Li Yunxing was not in a hurry, but promoted Zhan Jun to the rank of captain of one division, and competed with the remaining soldiers of the other five divisions for the position of general of the northwest camp.

Now that he is recalled to the capital with a secret order, it is the time for the northwest camp to reorganize.

After Li Yunxing heard the news, he immediately asked Luo Zipao to lead everyone to greet him and bring him into the palace.

Compared with the last time we met, Zhan Jun has grown up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only is his demeanor more upright, but he is also a bit more stable and decisive than when he was a teenager.

Zhan Jun followed Luo Zipao into the imperial study and met Li Yunxing's deep and sharp eyes.

Li Yunxing wore a bright yellow python robe and brocade clothes embroidered with gold, and a gold crown and jade hairpin on his head, sitting on a high seat.

"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince, I am a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Pingshen! Give me a seat!" Li Yunxing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Zhan Jun saluted respectfully before standing up.

"I heard that you have made some achievements in the northwest camp this time?"

Zhan Jun did not dare to take credit, so he quickly said humbly, "It's all thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's great fortune! I just got lucky and won. I hope Your Highness will not praise you too much!"

Li Yunxing nodded. He actually had two purposes in promoting Zhan Jun.

Delay time and train new people.

Originally, he had no foundation in the government, so he could do very little.

However, he knew that since ancient times, emperors have needed a strong military force to consolidate their country.

As a direct descendant of a family of military commanders, Zhan Jun must be outstanding.

In addition, the northwest camp was the first place Li Yunxing controlled. If a force belonging to the prince could be cultivated, it would be of great benefit to Li Yunxing in his future succession to the throne.

"I heard that you are reinforcing military discipline in the northwest camp. The captains of the second and third divisions are now under your command. The remaining divisions should be killed and expelled. It seems that you have a certain method.

"Li Yunxing praised.

"I am ashamed of myself. Before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the general to keep the military power of the northwest camp firmly in his own hands. He will never forget his humble position."

"Previously, although all the soldiers and horses in the northwest camp were captured by His Highness the Crown Prince, the soldiers and horses in the northwest camps were still loyal to Wu Shumiao, and the subordinates were worried that something would happen to them. Therefore, they cleverly used a counterintuitive strategy.

The hearts of the five tribes were scattered, and the last general also took this opportunity to gather the remaining soldiers of the five tribes. Now, the northwest camp is all in my hands."

Li Yunxing nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this is a very good move. I remember that the Northwest Camp is the cradle of elite soldiers and generals built by His Majesty Emperor Wu to protect Sili. Now that you can regain the Northwest Camp, I

The palace is also very pleased."

Of course, Li Yunxing also knew that all this was inseparable from Kai Jun's father, Uncle Zhan.

It's just that this time it can be seen from Zhan Jun's conversation that Zhan Jun is now in a stage of rapid growth.

I believe that given time, he can surpass Zhan Bo and become a brave and resourceful general.

This will definitely be a great help to Li Yunxing who will inherit the throne in the future.

"I heard that you led the troops to capture a pass in the northwest camp and are now stationed in the pass, right?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, this is indeed the case. The pass is called Huwei Pass. Recently, the Huns have been moving frequently, and the general is afraid that something unexpected will happen, so we have led our troops to garrison here in preparation for emergencies."

Li Yunxing nodded, "Hmm. According to your opinion, why have the Xiongnu moved so frequently recently?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly." Zhan Jun cupped his hands and said.

Li Yunxing raised his hand: "It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter if you talk."

"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, I feel that the frequent movements of the Xiongnu now may be related to the Xiongnu Chanyu's desire to marry the Chu Kingdom not long ago."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Li Yunxing looked surprised.

"According to the information found by the last general, the Xiongnu Chanyu fell in love with the beauty of Princess Xiang Yunyan of Chu State. He proposed a marriage as a condition, hoping that Chu State would agree to let the Chu State Princess marry the Xiongnu Chanyu in exchange for peace on the border.

.”

Li Yunxing had never heard of the Xiongnu Chanyu having such affection for Xiang Yunyan, but this Chanyu was also stupid.

He thought he was the overlord of his country and relied on the strength of his troops and horses, so he acted recklessly. Now he has angered the Chu State and wants to marry another princess.

Li Yunxing snorted coldly, "What the Xiongnu Chanyu did was simply a wishful thinking. The hatred between the Chu State and the Xiongnu has been deeply buried in his heart for a long time. How can it be resolved just because of the marriage? Sooner or later, these foolish kings will suffer retribution.
