Haram smiled and pointed at the two people behind him: "The two of them have found out the whereabouts of Tuoba Si. Uncle Sunjun, Tuoba Mohun, why don't you tell me now!"
Tuoba Shao looked at a young man in his mid-twenties with a face as thick as a date, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sunjun, I knew you would definitely help me!"
This red-faced young man is none other than Tuoba Gui's important minister and general, Shusun Jun, the son of Conglong's meritorious official Shusun Jian. Shusun Jian fought for Tuoba Gui in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle. As a result, he was awarded the important positions of Ancheng County Duke and Bingzhou Governor. However, he was later dismissed from his post because he persuaded Tuoba Gui to kill the hero and old general. He is now in Ye. The city guarded the royal gardens, and a famous general ended up like this, which is sad. And his eldest son, Shusun Jian, lived in the Wei Palace and served as a royal guard as a hunter. He had been with Tuoba in the palace since he was a child. The prince of the family grew up with the clan princes. He is similar in age to Tuoba Shao and has an extraordinary relationship. It is no wonder that Tuoba Shao was overjoyed when he saw him.
Shusun Jian smiled slightly, pointed at a tall and thin companion beside him and said: "Your Majesty, ever since we found out that the late emperor was killed by thieves, we, the sons and daughters of meritorious officials who are deeply favored by the country, have all gnashed their teeth and wished that we could eat the thieves' flesh and sleep with them. , these days, Tuoba Mohun, a member of the clan, and I have been assigned to a group of guards every day. At the same time, we also pay attention to intelligence from all sides, because we know that the thieves assassinated the late emperor to seize the throne, and now they will not be willing to give up halfway. , would sneak back to the capital and secretly gather foreign aid, so we deliberately made some dissatisfaction remarks against the king in order to lure the thieves into taking the bait."
Tuoba Shao was stunned for a moment, looked at the tall and thin young man, and said, "Oh, you are Tuoba Mohun. I remember you are the son of Tuoba Qu, your father..."
Tuoba Mohun saluted seriously and said: "My father was greatly favored by the country, but he violated the law and was deprived of his official title. As a son of a man, he should not say anything wrong about his father. However, the late emperor enforced the laws of the country rather than having personal grudges, so he also retained me. I, Tuoba Mohun, am only grateful for the qualification to serve as a guard in the palace, without any resentment."
He Lanmin smiled and said: "Good man, you know the importance of family and country, and you have a lot to do. Both of your fathers were dismissed from official positions due to official duties. They have been serving as guards in the palace for the past few years and have not been promoted. But the late emperor once said, This is a test for you to see if you are loyal to the country. Now is the time for you to repay the late Emperor and Wei with your loyalty."
Shusun Jun said seriously: "It's true that the two of us are loyal. We have been encouraging each other these years to make contributions to the country and make up for our father's mistakes. Only in this way can we be worthy of the country and the family. However, because of our experiences, Gong Most of the guards are alienated from us, so only the two of us keep company. In the eyes of outsiders, we are even dissatisfied thieves who can be won over!"
Tuoba Mohun nodded: "This time when the late Emperor was assassinated, the two of us wished we could have captured Yu Lixi right then and there. But now, maybe we can do the opposite and take the initiative to lure the thieves into taking the bait. So, Since the day after the assassination of the late emperor, we have been deliberately drinking and eating meat in the Hu Feng Tavern in the city, pretending to be drunk and laughing, saying that our father has finally recovered!"
He Lanmin frowned: "What you said is so treasonous. Why doesn't anyone come to arrest you?"
Shusun Jun said seriously: "If you want to attract the thieves, you have to do something like this. Anyway, we have already made a plan. At worst, they will be captured and killed. This way we can follow the late emperor underground and continue to fight for him. As for our If you are loyal, the late emperor will learn from you."
He Lanmin laughed: "He is really a loyal man with both wisdom and bravery. What happened next?"
Tuoba Mohun said: "After we spread the word, everyone in the tavern ran away. The boss didn't dare to keep us anymore and drove us away. But we were sure that someone heard what we said. Sure enough, the next day Before we went on duty, we were stopped by a few sergeant-looking men at the door of our home, saying that we had committed nonsense and wanted to take us to the Criminal Department for questioning."
Tuoba Shao looked at Babasong: "Is this the case?"
Babasong shook his head: "We have been here recently to keep vigil for the late emperor, and Mr. Baima is also dealing with government affairs every day. I am afraid that there will be no manpower to manage this prison matter, arresting people because of nonsense in the tavern, This has not happened since the founding of the Wei Dynasty. I think those sergeants are probably accomplices of the thieves, so they took you two away as an excuse."
Shu Sunjun smiled and said: "Nan Ping Gong is really powerful. This kind of thing can't be hidden from your eyes. But we didn't know it at the time. Those sergeants took us on the bullock cart, added torture instruments to our bodies, and stuffed cloth strips into our mouths. I was blindfolded again, but I have been living here for many years in the streets and alleys of Pingcheng. I can almost tell the direction of the car by smelling it. So, they did not block my nose, which was the biggest mistake!"
Haram smiled and said: "Uncle Sunjun, uncle Sunjun, your job is to be a hunting man, but your ability to know the position by smell is really comparable to that of a hunting wolf."
Shusun Jun smiled slightly: "This is what my father has been training for since he was a child. To find the enemy's traces in the vast grassland, it is not enough to just detect the horses. You need to smell the cow and sheep excrement, smell them and throw them away after eating them." You can tell by the smell of the food how long they have walked and how far they have traveled, this is also the secret art of war of our Shusun tribe."
Tuoba Shao laughed and said to He Lanmin: "Mother, I have long heard that the Shusun tribe has a secret method of tracking on the grassland. When Shenhebei was chasing the Yan army, General Shusun chased for eight days and seven nights, and was defeated. The enemy army rated it as a first-class meritorious service by the late Emperor."
He Lanmin nodded, but stared into Uncle Sunjun's eyes: "Uncle Sun Hunter, what did you find out in the end? This is what we are concerned about."
Shusun Jun said seriously: "After I was put down, I entered an abandoned courtyard. Under the rockery in this courtyard, there was a secret room. In the secret room, Brother Mohun was already there, and Hu inside Sitting on the bed is Tuoba Si, and to his left and right are An Tong and Yu Lixi!"
At this moment, everyone in the palace opened their eyes wide. Wang Jian's voice was the first to be heard: "Okay, these rebels are so rampant and have sneaked into the city. Madam, Your Majesty, I, the old Wang, please order me to lead you." A troop of soldiers and horses, go and catch these rebels yourself!"
Tuoba Shao said excitedly: "I have to do it myself to avenge my father. Mother, I will go myself!"
Mrs. Helan looked at Uncle Sunjun and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure where that place is? How many people are around Tuoba Si, and what did they say to you?"
