Not to mention a man like Lan Yu, even an ordinary person would not take revenge on a woman for irrelevant grudges. Unless this woman and Lan Yu have a sworn hatred, that's pretty much it.
Although Concubine Yuan did have an sworn hatred with Lan Yu, Lan Yu was the initiator of this hatred. Even if it is hatred, it should be that Concubine Yuan hates Lan Yu, not that Lan Yu hates Concubine Yuan.
"Huh? Brother, how did these rumors spread?" Han Du was a little confused. Since it was an invisible matter, how could this rumor spread so well?
Moreover, when Lan Yu attacked Yuan Fei, she was in the army. Military orders are like mountains. Even if ordinary soldiers see them, they will not open their mouths and talk nonsense. What's more, how could it be possible that such a thing, which was completely false, could be spread all over the city?
Is there anything weird here?
Han Du's sensitive nose smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"How do we know?" Lan Yu drank a glass of wine as if frustrated. When Concubine Yuan committed suicide, he wanted to deal with it quietly. But unfortunately, before Lan Yu could deal with it, the matter was revealed and spread throughout the army, so that Lan Yu had to admit his guilt.
Han Du looked at Lan Yu with some pity, but it was a pity that he was not in Lan Yu's army. If I were here, I would definitely be able to find out the mastermind behind this. But it's too late to say anything now. It's been so long since the incident. Even if there is a culprit, people have already cleaned up the whole thing. If we go to check now, we can't find anything.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Lan Yu. He is an expert in marching and fighting, but he is indeed not alert enough to conspiracies. Not only was he easily plotted, but he also missed the opportunity to catch the culprit.
Since there was no chance, Han Du had no choice but to let the matter go. He turned to ask: "Brother, why did you send troops to break through Xifeng Pass in the first place? I know it was late when my brother arrived at Xifeng Pass, but he has led troops for many years and should know the rules of the border pass. The door is not opened at night. , this is an iron rule, the guard of Xifeng Pass did nothing wrong."
Mentioning this matter, Lan Yu became even more depressed. Chao Handu explained: "How could we not know the rules at the border?"
Hearing Lan Yu speak like this, Han Du became even more curious. Since he knew the rules, why would he send troops to attack the city?
"Then brother, why did you let the soldiers attack the city?"
Anger appeared on Lan Yu's face, and she placed the wine glass heavily on the table and said: "It was already dark when we arrived at Xifeng Pass, and we had no hope of being able to pass the pass. We thought we would set up camp at the pass for one night. , wait until dawn the next day before entering the customs."
Han Du nodded repeatedly after hearing this. From what Lan Yu said, there was nothing wrong with him doing this.
"Since we are stationed at the pass, we naturally have to say hello and say hello to the defenders. But we never expected that the defenders would shoot us with bows and arrows without even saying hello. My subordinate general was furious, so he just shot us with bows and arrows. Send the army to attack the city. At that time, we had just defeated Beiyuan. It was the time when we were arrogant and arrogant. Seeing that things had become like this, we had no choice but to do nothing. "
Regarding Lan Yu's arrogance, Han Du nodded and said that he understood. After all, he had just made an unparalleled achievement. No matter who he was at this time, he would be arrogant. On the contrary, if he has no arrogance at this time and can still look calm, then the depth of this person's city is too terrifying.
Suddenly Han Du thought of something and hurriedly exclaimed: "No, isn't it brother that you ordered the army to attack the Xifeng Pass defenders first, and then they fought back?"
Han Du clearly remembered that Wu Si had said that it was Lan Yu's army who attacked Xifeng Pass first. Why did Lan Yu say now that it was the Xifeng Pass defenders who attacked him first?
Han Du's face gradually became serious. There was no reason for Wu Si to talk nonsense. Tang Ding was still present.
As Tang Ding's old subordinate, Wu Si should not talk nonsense when facing Tang Ding. Besides, Lan Yu had an army of hundreds of thousands at the beginning, and he came back with a great victory. How many soldiers and horses does Wu Si have at his disposal? Unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey, there was no way he would take the initiative to attack the blue jade army.
But Lan Yu said that it was the defenders who attacked him first? There is a problem here.
With his relationship with Lan Yu, it was impossible for him to lie to himself about this matter. That is to say, since Lan Yu said that the defenders attacked him first, it must be the defenders who attacked him first.
Why is it contradictory?
Han Du had a headache and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his temples.
Suddenly, Han Du thought that it was already dark when Lan Yu arrived at Xifeng Pass. Neither Wu Si nor Lan Yu knew who attacked them.
It would make sense if there was a dark hand behind the scenes. Wu Si and Lan Yu told the truth. Neither of them attacked first. The one who really attacked first was the black hand in the dark!
Han Du's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was another smell of conspiracy. This smell was still very familiar.
His thoughts suddenly opened up, and Han Du thought about how the rumors of Chu Lanyu spread among the army. That means that this black hand is hidden in Lan Yu's army?
By the way, when Lan Yu arrived at Xifeng Pass, it was completely dark. If someone quietly approached the pass and shot an arrow at the defenders, the defenders would naturally fight back without mercy.
Then the whole thing makes sense.
If you want to know who this mastermind is, you still have to ask Lan Yu.
But how to find out? Lan Yu should not have thought at all that there were people in his army who wanted to do evil things to him, otherwise Lan Yu would have cut such people into pieces long ago with his temper. In other words, this person was well hidden among the army, at least not discovered by Lan Yu.
Even if he asked Lan Yu, he couldn't give any answer. Things were a bit troublesome. Han Du frowned and lowered his head to think hard.
Suddenly, Han Du's eyes lit up and he asked Lan Yu: "Brother, when the defenders attacked you first, how did they attack you? Did they attack you directly?"
Lan Yu shook her head and said: "That's not true. The defenders attacked one of our adopted sons. There was not a trace of moonlight that night, and it was so dark that it was difficult to see. Naturally, the defenders did not use swords and guns, but bows and arrows. Our adopted son went up to argue with the defenders, but to his surprise, they shot at him without saying anything, almost killing him on the spot."
"Adopted son? What's your surname, name, which one he is? Have we met him?" Han Du also met several of Lan Yu's adopted sons.
"This is the adopted son we adopted later. You have never seen him. Of course his surname is Lan, and we named him Lan Ping." Lan Yu said directly, and then continued to talk to Han Du, "It is because of the defenders His actions were so unreasonable that we were so indignant that when the other adopted sons around us saw him, they went up in anger and broke through the Xifeng Pass with their troops."
Lan Yu's other adopted sons, seeing Lan Ping being attacked, got angry and rushed forward, but they still said it was okay. But why did Lan Ping step forward, and why did the defenders shoot him with arrows?
According to Han Du's guess just now, if Lan Ping is the black hand, then he stepped forward deliberately, and he also quietly shot an arrow at the defenders, making the defenders mistakenly think that the army was about to attack the city. As a result, the defenders would shoot him with arrows.
There must be something wrong with Lan Ping.
But now Han Du did not directly ask Lan Yu to find Lan Ping. Instead, he frowned and asked, "I remember that my brother had five or six adopted sons. What? Did he take in another adopted son later?"
Hearing Han Du mention this matter, Lan Yu was very proud, and laughed and said: "When did you do that? We have adopted a lot of adopted children in the past few years, and now there are nearly a hundred of them."
Nearly a hundred people!
When Han Du heard this, his face suddenly turned aside. He was a little scared and a little angry at Lan Yu's recklessness. He asked sternly: "What do you want to do with so many adopted sons?"
Lan Yu didn't understand why Han Du reacted so suddenly. She frowned and said, "These adopted sons either saved us on the battlefield, or they are very popular with us. Seeing that they were lonely, we adopted them as adopted sons." Yes, what’s the problem?”
What is the problem? The problem is getting bigger.
Han Du was so angry that he wanted to cover his face with his hands. Now he had no extra energy to think about Lan Ping. Lan Yu, the adopted son of nearly a hundred years, gave Han Du a big headache.
At this time, Han Du suddenly understood why Lao Zhu wanted to put Lan Yu in jail. It turned out that it was not because of his strong attack on Yuan Fei, and it was not because he sent his army to break through Xifeng Pass. It was also not because of Lan Yu's Arrogant and domineering.
Lan Yu has made extraordinary achievements and is a bit arrogant and domineering, but Lao Zhu is not at the point where he insists on putting Lan Yu in jail.
The reason why Lan Yu was imprisoned was because he had adopted so many adopted sons!
Hundreds of adopted sons are all brave and good at fighting. If these people are placed in the capital, wearing armor, they will become an elite with strong strength. But these adopted sons would only obey Lan Yu's orders. How could Lao Zhu not be angry about this?
Han Du looked at Lan Yu solemnly and said, "Brother, listen to me, if you want to survive, restore all these adopted sons to their original surnames and send them all away."
After listening to Han Du's words, Lan Yu's face suddenly darkened, and she said with dissatisfaction in her tone: "They are just adopted sons. Besides, there are also people who defended us on the battlefield. If we are dismissed just like that, wouldn't it look like we are here?" Ungrateful? Besides, if we accept some adopted sons, what will happen?"
Han Du's eyes were red with anger, and he quickly closed his eyes to calm down the anger in his heart. Opening his stinging eyelids, Han Du asked in a deep voice: "Is it a trivial matter to adopt an adopted son? Then look, your brother-in-law, the King of Zhong* Mountain, Duke Xin Guo, Song Guo Gong, and Ying Guo Gong, one of them has adopted an adopted son. Son’s?”
