Chapter 725

PS: come on, come on, how many monthly tickets do you want

The results of several mages' separate inquiries were not much different. When asked separately, no one dared to tell lies. Before, Chen Xiaoru cut people into pieces and killed them slowly. Everyone was afraid that his companions would betray him when he told a lie. Normal people can't stand the blood when they stare at a pig being chopped, let alone a person? So the answer is basically the same.

Chen Xiaoru asked people to take the five paralyzed mages down and see Fang Xie.

"General, it seems that these people don't know much."

、

Chen Xiaoru: "They asked separately, and the answers were almost the same. They answered that less than a year ago, the Archduke of the Principality of Ross found them all, and then asked them not to leave the Principality of Ross for an important mission. Six months ago, the Archduke found them again and asked them to go to Eastern Chu. But later, the matter was delayed because the Archduke of the Principality of Ross was assassinated Come down. "

"Three months ago, they arrived in the East Chu. Then they were received by the emperor of the East Chu. Together with a 500 member army of the Principality of Ross, they took the sea boat of the East Chu to bypass the coast of the great Sui Dynasty and directly to Nanyan."

He paused and said: "It's a little unreasonable. Let's not say that we just defeated the Nanyan army a year ago, even three months ago. The people of Eastern Chu couldn't know the news that day and send them immediately. Therefore, even if there was no Murong shame, these people would come to the Sui Dynasty. My subordinates speculated that their purpose was not here, but somewhere else Square. "

Fang Xie knew that Chen Xiaoru's analysis was reasonable and nodded: "don't relax and continue questioning. In addition, the assassin leader of the eastern Chu said nothing."

"He said something, but he was just the leader of a secret assassination team of the eastern Chu emperor. He just took orders and didn't dare to ask why."

"He said..."

Chen Xiaoru looked through the confession: "The Archduke of the Principality of Ross has been in close contact with the emperor of the eastern Chu since a long time ago. It can be traced back to the beginning of civil strife in the great Sui Dynasty. He guessed that the emperor of the eastern Chu planned to send troops to the great Sui Dynasty, but the strength of the eastern Chu was limited and did not dare to go to war easily. He was ready to ask the Principality of Ross to send troops for help, and then give some benefits to the Principality of Ross. But the Archduke of the Principality of Ross has never been interested in this matter What's too much interest? After all, the Principality of Ross is only a small country, with limited troops to call, and has to face the threat of neighboring countries. "

"There was a turn for the better. After the Archduke of the Principality of Ross was assassinated, the powerful opru empire on the other side of the ocean directly sent troops to take over the Principality of Ross and appointed a general to manage it. The general began to get in touch with the emperor of Eastern Chu again, and soon sent someone to Eastern Chu."

Chen Xiaoru handed the confession to Fang Xie: "this man knows so much. He speculated according to what he heard."

Fang Xie nodded and took the confession over and looked at it: "let him try his best to think about all the contacts between Dongchu and the Principality of Ross in the past two years. He should say what he knows and how much he can remember."

"General..."

Chen Xiaoru hesitated and asked, "it seems that this matter has nothing to do with us. My subordinates speculated whether the emperor of Eastern Chu didn't trust the people of the Principality of Ross. It happened that Murong shamed sent envoys to Eastern Chu for help. In order to test the ability of these Ross people, the emperor of Eastern Chu simply asked them to come to Nanyan?"

"Very good."

Fang Xie praised: "what you think is not against the truth..."

He turned to San jinhou and asked, "cargo Tongtian is the biggest partner of Dongchu merchants. Basically, all goods sent to the big Sui Dynasty are contacted by Dongchu merchants and cargo Tongtian. Hou ye, how much do you know about the Principality of Ross and the Empire of opru?"

San jinhou pondered for a moment and said, "I know more about foreigners, but he's not here... I'll give more business with foreigners and Dongchu people to wine and sex money. If the senior general needs it, I'll send someone to Chang'an immediately to let wine and sex money come back."

"I don't have to. I just want to know something."

Fang Xie waved his hand.

"I don't know much..."

San jinhou thought for a moment and said: "On the other side of the ocean, the closest place to the eastern Chu should be a powerful country called the Aegean empire. The of this empire is similar to that of the great Sui Dynasty in many places. Most of the members of the imperial royal family will be granted a duke, and then a large place will be granted a fief in the Empire. It is called the Kingdom, the principality. This Archduke Ross is the nephew of the Aegean emperor? It seems that the fief is in the West."

"Most of the foreigners contacted by the merchants of Eastern Chu were from the Principality of Ross. However, later, an empire named oplu gradually rose to the East and kept attacking the Aegean empire. The Aegean empire's army was defeated in successive battles and was destroyed by the oplu empire within less than a year. After the Empire was broken, the emperor of the love empire was hanged. Then, all the affiliated kingdoms of the Aegean empire The principality has successively declared its loyalty to the opru Empire, so it has been preserved. "

"The Principality of Ross is the farthest away from the oplu empire. No matter how powerful the oplu empire is, it does not have enough military strength to clean all the principalities of the Aegean Empire, so they still maintain their original status after they surrender. The Grand Duke of Ross was assassinated, and the oplu Empire sent troops to the Principality of Ross, which is obviously related to the people of Eastern Chu."

Fang Xie nodded. He always felt that foreigners' stories were very familiar. Later, he thought that there were too many versions of historical stories he had seen in previous lives.

"Send someone to Dongjiang again."

Fang Xie was silent for a moment and said: "I always think that the oplu Empire has great ambitions. Either the eastern Chu is using the oplu Empire, or the oplu empire is using the eastern Chu. If the latter is the case, the goal of the oplu empire is obviously not just the eastern Chu... If nothing unexpected, the grand duke Ross should have been assassinated by the oplu Empire, and then the oplu army directly took over Luo The Principality of Sri Lanka. "

"I wrote two personal letters, one to General Yang Shunhui and the other to Mu mansion."

Fang Xie rubbed his wrinkled eyebrows and corners: "now the great Sui Navy is trapped in civil strife, and the most powerful Yangtze River Navy is divided into four... Part is in the hands of Wang Yiqu, part is in the hands of Luo Tu, and part is back to the court, and the smallest part is in our hands."

Fang Xie was worried and said, "at this time, if foreign enemies invade eastern Xinjiang again, the great Sui Dynasty will be really chaotic."

At this time, a Xiaoqi school suddenly ran in a hurry. Behind him, several Xiaoqi schools supported a messenger who looked dusty and almost fainted. He should also be from Xiaoqi school.

"General, a letter from the capital!"

……

……

Fang Jie took away the fire paint and took out a secret letter from the iron box. Fang Jie thought it would be written by Mu San or wine, color and wealth, but when he opened it, he found that the font was wrong. The letter was very beautiful on the paper, and it could be seen at a glance that it was written by a woman. Moreover, the words were very neat, and there was a solemn smell in Juan Xiu. Looking at the words and sentences, he was distinguished. The strangest thing is that this letter was written by a woman It was written with a brush dipped in blood.

He frowned slightly and read the secret letter from beginning to end.

"Mu San made great achievements this time..."

Fang Xie involuntarily picked the corner of his eyebrow. There was surprise in his eyes. With a slight sigh, he handed the letter paper to San jinhou: "The little emperor killed himself. All the descendants of the Yang family were imprisoned in the Changchun Garden. Xu Xiaogong and Liu enjing, who led the army on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, have also been stripped of their officials and barons. It seems that the armored general is going to seize military power when he leaves Chang'an. The appearance of the armored general has been found out... What a surprise!"

San Jin Hou Wu took the letter paper and looked at it carefully. After reading a few words, his face changed greatly: "unexpectedly... It will be the Taizu emperor who founded the Sui Dynasty?!"

He was surprised to stand up, and his hand holding the letter paper was trembling slightly. Looking at his ugly face, he was obviously frightened by the matter in the letter. However, this was also a normal reaction. No one would have thought that the armored general would be Yang Jian, Emperor Taizu of the great Sui Dynasty.

"Is this what Luo Yao is worried about?"

Fang Jie murmured.

"I'm afraid so..."

Wu sat down again, but his mood has not recovered yet: "Wan Xingchen is a good means... He used half of his accomplishments to renew the life of the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Although the princess said in this letter that Wan Xingchen did this out of revenge, is it not an anti heaven means? I have never heard of such a bandit thought in Chang'an for so many years... But if Yang Jian is resurrected, who is the tiger?"

"The letter said that Yang Jian had absorbed half of the accomplishments of Wan Xingchen, plus the Qi Yang Jian had raised for so long, no wonder he could defeat Luo Yao. An expert like Luo Yao must have sensed something, and those old monsters in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy must have heard of it, so he disclosed the news to Luo Yao in order to make Luo Yao and Yang Jian lose All hurt. Those people in the south of the Yangtze River are easy to calculate. They want to make a profit. "

Fang Xie said, "this secret letter was brought by Mu San from Changchun Garden. If he wasn't familiar with the garden, he couldn't sneak in. Now the eldest princess Yang Qinyan is trapped in Changchun Garden and wrote this letter with blood..."

"Let the general lead you north?"

Wu Yi shook his head: "absolutely not!"

He said eagerly, "the 20000 armored troops are not expected to be alive. It should be the 20000 most elite soldiers saved by Yang Jian and WAN Xingchen. Although our military strength is not weak now, nine times out of ten we can't win this meeting North! The general should think twice. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run!"

"I know"

Fang Xie took over the blood letter and read it again. The last sentence on the letter was particularly eye-catching.

"When the great Sui Dynasty was in trouble, I had no one to ask for anything except the general. I only wish the general would still feel that it is not easy for the Yang family, the rivers and mountains, and the people to save the great Sui Dynasty..."

"Yang Jian is her ancestor... But she said she wanted me to save Da Sui. Why?"

Fang Xie knew that there were too many things not written clearly in this letter. And what kind of helplessness is the princess's Royal Highness in the Changchun Garden?

"In any case, this is not the time to march north!"

Wu Yi shook his head and said: "Now our black flag army is still not firmly established in the southwest. Yongbei Road, Nanhui Road and beihui road are not in our hands. Although Zhuque mountain Daying and Yongzhou have clamped these three roads to the South and North, it is not easy to make those people compromise. In addition, we have to March South to Murong shame. Where can we still have the energy to go north? If you are careless, the black flag army will work hard for a while If it is established, it will be in vain! "

Fang Xie glanced at Wu, then hugged him and said, "Lord Hou's words are all for the consideration of the black flag army. Thank you!"

Wu Yidao was slightly stunned, and then said, "I've handed everything over to the black flag army to the great general. In order to ignore this letter in the future."

Fang Xie nodded: "I know, I won't do anything stupid."

He looked at Wu Yi's eager face and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
