Takamatsu turned around and looked over. Someone turned his horse's head to face the pursuers, shouting loudly as he ran.
Gao Jiansong looked at the followers beside him. The followers immediately drew their bows and shot arrows in one go, intending to kill the deserter.
Seeing that the arrow was about to reach behind the deserter, a man drove his horse forward and threw the spear in his hand to knock down the arrow.
When Gao Jiansong saw this scene, he immediately thought of a person, Ma Zheng, the eldest son of the Governor of Guangning Guards.
He has always wanted to win over the Ma family for Prince Jian.
The Ma family has a great reputation in the north and east of Xinjiang. If Governor Ma can surrender, it will be of great help to them to control the entire north. The reason why these grains are transported to Datong is to wait for the war to break out in the north, so that grain can be used to exchange people's hearts.
He obviously calculated well, but he didn't expect that everything would turn upside down.
Not only did he fail to get the food, but his identity was revealed, and the people who came to arrest him turned out to be the Ma family. What a joke, God actually made things difficult for him like this.
At such a moment, Takamatsu actually laughed out loud.
"Hahaha."
After calculating for a lifetime, planning for many years, and laying out the chess pieces for so long, when it was finally time to fight, I found that the situation on the chessboard had already changed.
He is really ridiculous.
After laughing, Takamatsu's face was full of tears. He still didn't understand where he went wrong.
"Gao Jiansong, the imperial court treats you well, but you actually rebelled against the party." Ma Zheng slowly gathered people around him, "If you don't get off your horse quickly, you will be captured without mercy."
Gao Jiansong drew out his long sword and drove his horse forward. The followers around him hurriedly stopped him: "Sir, you..."
Takamatsu made up his mind, and now no one can stop him.
Ma Zheng ordered: "Catch them alive."
A dozen cavalrymen were about to step forward, but Takamatsu suddenly reined in his horse, then waved his hand and put the sword on his neck.
"I'm sorry, Prince Jian, my subordinate is incompetent..."
Takamatsu exerted force on his hand, and blood spurted out. A letter from his wife appeared in front of his eyes. There was nothing else in the letter but one sentence: The family has been settled, don't worry.
She must have noticed the clues.
She understands justice so well, and he naturally understands what will happen if someone exposes her. There is no use begging for mercy. It is better to give yourself a dignified death.
Prince Jian.
I have lost most of Northern Xinjiang, and I have no shame in seeing you.
Takamatsu fell off his horse.
…
Xu Qinghuan looked at everything happening not far away. Gao Jiansong was loyal to King Jian. You must know that the Gao family is also a wealthy family. Gao Jiansong's decision was to send the entire Gao family to the execution ground.
Takamatsu, who was once famous in northern Xinjiang, died in front of her.
The situation between the north and the south is completely different from today on from the previous life.
In his previous life, Gao Jiansong worked hard for Li Xu. The capable people around Li Xu went to the Northern Xinjiang Guard Station several times to find talents for Li Xu.
Li Changyan often praised Gao Jiansong, who was the "first academic and political leader" in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He not only trained civil servants for northern Xinjiang but also took care of military generals. Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, no one could surpass him, not even Xue Chen in the southeast could do this.
Mrs. Li always told her to be courteous to the Gao family. As Li Xu's wife, she should not think about herself all day long. Even if she endured some hardships, she must capture the hearts of Li Xu and let the soldiers know that Li Xu loved her.
If you are thirsty for talent, the lives of your wife, children, and children at home will not be as good as that of a good general.
Mrs. Li wanted Li Xu to become the kind of hero who only focused on the great cause and would not be fettered by other emotions. Although she did not agree with this, she often walked around with the wives of the generals, not to please Mrs. Li, but to
She can understand the hardships faced by those women.
Mrs. Gao and she walked around quite frequently, and they knew each other somewhat. Mrs. Gao was a very smart person, quite knowledgeable. Although she joked with everyone on weekdays, she never mentioned political affairs. The only time she showed some concern was for
A pair of children at his knees.
The great cause Li Xu planned was to put it bluntly: he wanted to rebel against the imperial court and replace him. If he failed, everyone would die. Mrs. Gao once said that she wanted to entrust her two children to her. If there was any change in the family, it would be better for the Gao family.
Leave a bloodline.
Thinking of this, Xu Qinghuan came back to his senses.
The position in the past life is completely different from that in this life. Since we know that Takamatsu is a member of the King of Jane, we must follow this matter to investigate, so that we can know all the truth.
"Where is Mrs. Gao?" Xu Qinghuan said, "Gao Jiansong is dead. If we want to find out the whole thing, we can only start with Mrs. Gao." Maybe Mrs. Gao is willing to tell some inside information in order to save her child.
Song Chengxuan looked at Huailaiwei: "Gao Jiansong's wife went to Huailaiwei."
Huailaiwei, where Mrs. Li went.
What a coincidence.
They happened to be all gathered here.
Xu Qinghuan said: "It's a pity that I didn't guess it was Gao Jiansong before. If we had started earlier, we might have found more clues."
"It's already quite a lot," Song Chengxuan said. "The food is enough to provide relief to the southeast. Not only that, we also know that King Jian has already planned. Even after his death, there will still be people who can inherit the legacy he left behind."
This point is the most important.
Xu Qinghuan nodded slowly.
Song Chengxuan continued: "Those who follow Gao Jiansong know who Gao Jiansong is communicating with, and that person's identity is very important."
Song Chengxuan paused slightly when he said this: "The Li family is acting suspiciously..." He thought that during the Wang Yun case, Xu Qinghuan's attitude towards Li Xu was obviously different from others. Later, Li Changyan became friends with Mr. Xu Wu... He accidentally found out
Qing Huan drove Li Changyan out of the Hou Mansion.
If Qing Huan had not treated Li Changyan like that, perhaps the Xu family and the Li family would have had a close relationship by now.
"Have you suspected the Li family from the beginning?"
Hearing Song Chengxuan's voice, Xu Qinghuan shook her head: "At first, I just thought that Li Xu's family was too deep." As she said that, she raised her head and looked at Song Chengxuan.
Seeing Mr. Song's tense jaw, she subconsciously said: "Li Xu is very smart but not as upright as her husband. Naturally, we have to work with people we trust to investigate the case, so I will be on guard against Li Xu at all times."
Xu Qinghuan felt as if the arms holding her had softened. No one in the previous life knew that Song Hou had such a weakness.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xu Qinghuan leaned into Song Chengxuan's arms again: "After Mr. Kong Wu was captured, and then Mrs. Kong's misfortune happened, I suspected that there might be King Jian in the Li family, so I kept an eye on Mrs. Li.
Now it seems...there are more and more doubts about the Li family."
The most suspicious thing is Li Xu. After all, Gao Jiansong was loyal to Li Xu in his previous life, and in this life they know that Gao Jiansong is a member of King Jian.
But without evidence, it was impossible for her to tell Song Chengxuan about her past life experiences.
"Master Song," Ma Zheng urged his horse over, "I have already asked clearly. The person who often corresponds with Gao Jiansong is Li Changyan."
Xu Qinghuan was not surprised, but he felt vaguely that something was not right.
But everything will come to light soon, at least the Li family will not escape so easily this time.
