Chapter 723 The old man's revenge

Chang'an.

Han Huanzhi looked at his three Qianbans, but he seemed a little dazed. He looked at the three people, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Qianban Fang Baijing, Fang Bailu, and Nie Ye looked at each other, and the three of them were both eager to speak but stopped.

"It's been ten months."

Han Huanzhi seemed to have finally recovered from his god. When he spoke these five words, he seemed to have been several years older.

"Yes, it's been ten months."

Nie Ye said to himself: "When Brother Yao Hunu died, General Chen Leng left Chang'an, and it has been ten months since he calculated the days. But we still have no clues about the murderer."

He blamed himself, his tone was full of self-blame.

Han Huanzhi shook her head: "I shouldn't have let him go by myself."

Fang Baijing said: "I also told him when I asked him to go, but the tiger slave brothers were too confident and had predicted that Mu Zhaotong might be hiding there and should wait for support first... It has been ten months, and I shouldn't say these words anymore, but looking at everyone's current state, I blame myself, Nie Ye blame myself, Bai Lu blames myself, and I blame myself. What's the use of keeping blaming myself like this?"

Fang Bailu nodded: "According to the information that can be found, Mu Zhaotong should have already headed south, but he had people to pick him up all the way, so he could not find the ferry, the inlet and exit records of each city, and the route could not be determined. He could only guess that he was heading south."

"Is there any news about the murderer recently?"

Han Huanzhi looked at Fang Baijing.

Fang Baijing shook his head: "If nothing unexpected happens, the person who killed the tiger slave brothers and Mu Zhaotong went together. Based on various information, it is speculated that his subordinates suspected that Mu Zhaotong's target was Pingyue Road. He is very likely to have connections with many of the original Nanyue nobles, and someone there to pick him up."

"Then go."

Han Huanzhi lowered his head and looked at the iron plate on the table. It was the iron plate of Yao Hunu, who was the Qianbian Yao Hunu. After Chen Leng left Chang'an, he arranged for people to investigate Mu Zhaotong's whereabouts. Yao Hunu led the team to Yu Tuhu's generation to discover something, but Yao Hunu was too confident. He did not listen to Han Huanzhi's orders and waited for support after discovering Mu Zhaotong's traces, but led people into the mountain. When the people from the Tingwei Mansion found it, Yao Hunu's body had already swelled up.

"Sir, I'll go."

Nie Ye looked at Han Huanzhi: "I have been to southern Xinjiang and are more familiar with Pingyuedao."

In fact, the most suitable people to go to Pingyue are Geng Shan and Gu Le, but they are still in northern Xinjiang.

Han Huanzhi shook his head: "I'll go by myself, Fang Bailu and me, Fang Baijing is in charge of the daily affairs of the Tingwei Mansion, Nie Ye is responsible for Chang'an City and even the Jingji Province. If you have any matters, you can ask the old dean for advice. If there is not enough manpower, you can ask for the imperial edict. General Dan Tai Yuan Shu can send someone to help."

Han Huanzhi grabbed Yao Hunu's iron card and tied it to his waist: "Leave Beijing tomorrow morning, you two will keep your family safe."

Fang Baijing and Nie Ye clasped their fists at the same time: "As for order!"

The three Qianbans all left the study room. The door was closed, and the dim study room became Han Huanzhi's world alone again. He sat there in meditation, unconsciously pinching the iron plate to wipe it. Mu Zhaotong disappeared, jumping into the mountain Yutu Lake and found his traces, but Yao Hunu died, and the Tingwei he brought with him was also dead, and the clues were cut off at once.

Mu Zhaotong obviously had already prepared. He did not walk on the official road, but on the waterway. The boat he used was a new boat, and he could not find out the source. If he did not walk on the Grand Canal but on the branch waterway, although it was very slow, it would be impossible to trace it. His supplies could be bought from the hands of the people, and he could even bypass many city gates. Even if he passed through some county towns, he would not be discovered if he was disguised.

If Mu Zhaotong's goal was really Pingyuedao, then when he went to Pingyuedao to investigate the case, he ignored too many things. At that time, the target was the prince Li Xiaoran. Later, after Li Xiaoran committed suicide in the Dongjiang case, no one took care of this matter. From beginning to end, he did not think that the ministers who lost their country in the South Vietnam could make any big noise. Now it seems that Mu Zhaotong really underestimated the revenge of the South Vietnamese...

But now Pingyue Dao is safe and peaceful. Ye Kaitai and Ye Jingtian are suppressing each other. After Ye Jingtian took over the southern border wolf ape, the entire Pingyue Dao would not even think of making any waves. What is Mu Zhaotong's purpose of going to Pingyue Dao? As long as the wolf ape is on Pingyue Dao for one day, no one can make trouble.

Han Huanzhi looked down at the iron card in his hand, and Yao Hunu's appearance appeared in his mind again.

There are not many people like Han Huanzhi in this world who always seem to be so harsh to their subordinates, but he cares about everyone, just like brothers and sisters. He just doesn't want to express himself or is used to express himself, but Yao Hunu died, as if he had cut a knife into his heart.

Staying away from Chang'an, away from the center of power, away from His Majesty the Emperor, what do Mu Zhaotong want to do?

At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open with a creak. Han Huanzhi looked up and saw that he could guess who it was without looking. This was the Tingwei Mansion, his own courtyard. There were enough secret guards outside. Who else could she besides walking directly outside his study?

"Why are you here?"

Han Huanzhi got up and smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Yun Sangduo walked to Han Huanzhi with his hands behind his back, leaned over and smiled slightly: "I've stewed soup for you."

She put the food box she was carrying from behind like a magic trick. After she opened it, the fragrance came to her face. She had been to Chang'an for a while and had successfully given birth to a daughter named Han Heng, like a boy's name. Yun Sangduo arrived less than a month after Shen Leng left Chang'an. It was only after His Majesty specially sent someone to the grassland to pick her up after learning that she was pregnant. Now the child is half a year old, very beautiful, with big eyes, and beautiful like the stars in the night sky.

Han Huanzhi smiled apologetically: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow. It will take about a long time to go, and it will be counted as long as possible for at least one year."

Yun Sangduo's face changed slightly, and his hands that were serving Han Huanzhi to soup were all stopped in the air, but she quickly laughed: "It's just a year. I haven't seen you for so many years, have you come here too? I'll take my child back to the grassland first. After you come back, I'll take my child to Chang'an."

Han Huanzhi nodded: "It's good to go back to the grassland to have a look."

Yun Sangduo handed the bowl to Han Huanzhi: "Because of your brother's death?"

Han Huanzhi nodded.

Yun Sangduo walked behind Han Huanzhi and pinched Han Huanzhi's shoulder: "You have never been willing to tell others your thoughts, and you are willing to bear all the worries and all the pressures yourself. Even if you are irritable or angry, you will try your best to smile when you see me, and it always looks so gentle... But I also want to share some of it for you. I don't want you to work so hard alone."

Han Huanzhi went down the bowl, turned around and hugged Yun Sangduo's waist: "I don't have to say anything to you, as long as I see the troubles in your heart, I will disappear."

Yun Sangduo smiled and blushed slightly: "Liar."

Han Huanzhi's face pressed against her body and felt her heartbeat. The heartbeat seemed to have magic, which made Han Huanzhi's heart, which could not sink, gradually calmed down.

"I will leave the Rising Sun for you."

Yun Sangduo said: "He is one of the best brave generals on the grassland. He only lost to Brother Meng once in a fight. I can't follow you to southern Xinjiang. Xu Rilie will feel more at ease with you, so don't refuse me."

Han Huanzhi nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Yun Sangduo: "Then you will take my eight hundred silver wolf guards with you too."

"There are too many, what should I do if I take you away?"

"Then it's six hundred."

"I'll take a hundred."

"five hundred!"

"Two hundred, at most two hundred, no more."

Yun Sangduo thought about it and found that the two hundred Silver Wolf Guards and the Rilien should be barely enough, so she felt better and was not as depressed as she heard the news.

"I promised to do a year."

Yun Sangduo held Han Huanzhi's head and hugged her very tightly: "If you don't come back for a year, I will take my child to find you."

At the same time, on the West Shu Road, Qinghuan Mountain outside Yunxiao City, there is a small Taoist temple in the mountains. It is not the Taoist temple where Mr. Chen was in the past. The West Shu Road is full of majestic mountains and steep mountains, and there are many Taoist temples in the mountains. Taoists pay attention to being close to nature in their practice. In prosperous times, Taoists often rarely travel in the world. Every day in troubled times, Taoists often hold their swords down the mountain.

This small Taoist temple has a history of more than a hundred years and is not open to the public, so there is no question of whether the incense is strong or not. However, without incense, how did this small Taoist temple survive?

Because someone raises it.

Mu Zhaotong sat in the yard and felt the mountain breeze passing through the pine forest. The breath made him feel comfortable.

"Gei, what's next?"

Xun Zhi looked at Mu Zhaotong carefully. He, who had once looked down upon Mu Zhaotong, was now convinced and even awe-inspiring of Mu Zhaotong. Only then did he realize that the position of Grand Secretary for so many years did not release all Mu Zhaotong's abilities, but suppress his abilities. If Mu Zhaotong's abilities were released, the country would change color.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Hiro Kingdom should have already attacked the Tiao Kingdom."

Mu Zhaotong looked at the chessboard on the stone table in front of him: "When I left Chang'an, I said that I would make Your Majesty uncomfortable. He was determined to attack the northern border, so I would drag Your Majesty's back. The Anxiean was fierce and let the Anxiean disrupt the southern border. Daning would draw more troops to the country. The wolf ape army on Pingyue Road will inevitably be transferred over. At that time, the Pingyue Road's troops were empty, and those old ministers who had not yet convinced would have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Your Majesty cares more people than the territory. If people like Zhuang Yongchen Leng and Ye Kaitai Ye Jingtian died on the battlefield, it would always make Your Majesty sad... They are all soldiers, and soldiers died on the battlefield, which is the place to die."

Xun Zhi asked in a humble tone: "Arranging the old ministers of Nanyue to contact the people of Tiao in advance, and then let the people of Tiao in contact with the people of Anxi. Isn't the elder worried that once the country is occupied by Anxi, it will directly threaten the southern border of Daning."

"Not threatened."

Mu Zhaotong said: "Do you know where to rest?"

"The students don't know."

"The rest is far away..."

Mu Zhaotong let out a long sigh: "Anxi is unable to fight Daning, at most it is just to rob the country of Tiao. Have I said that the coldness is not important, but the important thing is to make the emperor sad?"

"The Master said it."

"But Chen Leng will not die for a day, how can I be willing?"

Mu Zhaotong pressed the chess piece in his hand heavily on the stone table: "Han Huanzhi thought that I had gone to Pingyue Road, and he would definitely take people to Pingyue Road to investigate my whereabouts. I have someone dug a big pit on the Pingyue Road. If this pit cannot bury Han Huanzhi, then he will really be favored by heaven."

He stood up slowly with the stone table: "You go to Pingyue Road. If you have the ability, go to the countryside to see more and walk around, all of them are experience."
