"Your Majesty, he should be my subject."
Zhao Ping said with a smile.
"Um?"
Chen Xuan was stunned, "Your people?"
"Why did you take away Chen Tong and his family?"
"But betrayed? Are you planning to cultivate descendants of rebels and wait for opportunities to take revenge?"
"this……"
Zhao Ping was also shocked and secretly cursed himself for being a bitch.
Why can't we wait until it's confirmed?
It's better now, I'm under suspicion.
If Lu Pin really betrayed him, or was just someone with the same name, how should he deal with His Majesty?
Fortunately, Chen Xuan then comforted him and said, "Mr. Zhao, you don't need to pay too much attention. Lu Pin is Lu Pin, and you are you. I will not implicate you because of his betrayal."
"Besides, maybe Lu Pin has an ulterior motive?"
"Since he is yours, tell me about him. I am a little curious about him."
"Lu Pin is a bandit."
When Zhao Ping opened his mouth, Chen Xuan almost fell off his horse.
bandit?
Isn't that the force that Chen Tong summoned to rebel in Bianliang County?
"Your Majesty, please be patient."
Zhao Ping hurriedly explained: "Lu Pin is just the sixth master among the bandits. They also have a big master named Shen Bao."
"Before the king of Yuzhou rebelled, they took refuge with me."
"Moved from Bianliang County to Xiping Village..."
Zhao Ping briefly told the story, and Chen Xuan was stunned.
"Is there such a strange person in the world?"
Chen Xuan sighed: "It's a pity that he was struck to death by lightning."
"Otherwise, if I use it, will the Dawei Dynasty still be in chaos?"
"Do the enemy countries around us still dare to show off their power?"
"I have long since completely taken control of the Dawei Dynasty and unified the world."
"Your Majesty, Shen Bao's power cannot be fulfilled every time."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said: "If the crucial one fails, wouldn't it mean that all the previous efforts will be wasted?"
"So we have to do things step by step and don't take shortcuts."
"Only in this way can people be convinced, and only then can the Dawei Dynasty be stable, prosperous and strong for a long time."
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao still speaks nicely."
Chen Xuan said happily.
Zhao Ping continued: "As for Lu Pin's intention to take away Chen Tong and his family, I think it has two purposes."
"The task I gave him is to lurk beside Chen Tong, waiting for an opportunity to rescue His Majesty."
"After his meritorious service, I promised him to join my bandit army or Meng Ru's flying eagle army."
"But the situation must have changed, so that he was unable to follow Chen Tong's large army to Henan County, so he changed his strategy and controlled the family members of Chen Tong and other rebels."
"First, if His Majesty fails, he can use those family members as threats to force Chen Tong to submit, allowing His Majesty to turn defeat into victory."
"Secondly, if His Majesty wins, he can control those family members early and avoid thieves from escaping later and leaving hidden dangers."
"So Your Majesty, we can no longer delay and must get to Bianliang County as soon as possible."
Zhao Ping suggested: "Eunuch Li doesn't know Lu Pin. Once Lu Pin's location is found, the two of them may cause trouble."
"Um."
Chen Xuan nodded and ordered the leader to speed up.
…
Li Yan ordered a search for three days, almost digging three feet into the entire city of Bianliang County, but he was surprised to find no family members of Chen Tong and others.
"A Dajian, since you are so smart, tell me, where will the other party hide the family members of Chen Tong and others?"
Li Yan took A Dajian out and asked coldly.
"If you can help our family find him, we will let you go, and even allow you to leave the palace and give you your freedom."
"Eunuch Li, if you want to find someone, you must first know the person's identity and background."
A Dajian has also been thinking about this issue in the past few days. When he was asked the question at the moment, he responded calmly.
"Secondly, judge where the person is going based on his identity."
“In the end, it’s just about finding someone.”
"Lu Pin is just a bandit, who else could he be?"
Li Yan said angrily: "The bandits were summoned to Bianliang County by Chen Tong with the intention of conspiring to rebel."
"Now that things have fallen apart, he must have escaped."
"escape?"
A Dajian sneered, "He is a bandit, not a fool."
"Leading so many family members to escape, how can he escape easily alone? Can he escape Eunuch Li's pursuit?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Yan also figured this out and asked, "Is it possible that he didn't escape?"
"good."
A Dajian analyzed: "Based on what Xiao Xiao saw, he should be hiding."
"That's why I asked you to verify Lu Pin's identity, see which force he belongs to, and then use this to determine where he is most likely to be hiding, and then find those family members."
"You, go verify."
Li Yan dismissed a soldier beside him, "Be sure to find out Lu Pin's true situation."
The soldier took the order and left, but returned shortly after.
Reporting respectfully, "Back to Eunuch Li, I have found out clearly that Lu Pin is a bandit from Bianliang County, and their leader is called Shen Bao."
"I don't know why, but he was the last bandit to join Chen Tong."
"The camp has been arranged, and Chen Tong's aide Gu Tianhe left him in Bianliang County to look after his family."
Li Yan was speechless for a while after hearing this.
How is this news different from before?
Can you find Lu Pin?
He became even more angry, glared at A Dajian and said, "Now the information you want has been found out for you."
"You must help our family find Lu Pin within three days, otherwise we will chop off your head."
In three days, I think if I win, the news of taking control of Bianliang County will reach His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty will come to inquire.
Chen Tong and his family must be found before His Majesty arrives.
Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.
This wave of military exploits will be lost and may even be held accountable by His Majesty.
"It won't take three days."
Unexpectedly, Ah Dajian shook his head and said, "I will help you find Lu Pin now."
"Now?"
Li Yan was stunned, "How to find it?"
"First of all, Lu Pin is different from other bandits."
A Dajian analyzed: "If it were other bandits, they might have run away on their own, or they might have surrendered to Eunuch Li, corrected their evil ways, and served His Majesty."
"Secondly, when Chen Tong led the army to the expedition, he began to control the family members."
"It's enough to show that he, Chen Tong and the others are not of the same mind."
"In other words, he is on His Majesty's side."
"Your Majesty personally came to Yuzhou to suppress the bandits, and everyone knows about it."
"But Chen Tong rebelled and plotted against His Majesty. Very few people knew about it, and even fewer sent troops to rescue him."
"But there are still people who know about it, and there are still people who send troops to rescue."
"For example, Chen Xinghe, the governor of Qingzhou, Mu Shangwu, the commander of the command department of Qingzhou, Mr. Zhao Pingzhao of Xiping Village, Yun'an County, Donghai County, Qingzhou, etc."
"Lu Pin is a bandit, and he is on the same level as the officials. He shouldn't be someone sent by Chen Xinghe or Mu Shangwu."
"Then there's only one possibility left."
"Is he from Zhao Ping?"
Li Yan was shocked and said: "How can you see it?"
"Zhao Ping has gone to great lengths to save His Majesty."
A Dajian said: "Almost every method he could think of was used."
"For example, tell Qingzhou Prefect Chen Xinghe the news, and tell Qingzhou Command Department Soldiers and Horses Chief Mu Shangwu."
"As well as leading the bodyguards from Xiping Village, the bandit army and others rushed to Yuzhou."
"And Zhao Ping is also a person who recruits talents."
"As long as that person has not committed a heinous crime, Zhao Ping will accept him and give him shelter, allowing him to work and earn money to support his family."
"In Xiping Village at this time, there are not only ordinary people, but also many bandits."
"I think Lu Pin should be one of them."
"Otherwise, they are the bandits of Bianliang County. They should be the first to receive Chen Tong's call, but they are the last to respond."
"It should be Zhao Ping's instruction."
"Let them pretend to take refuge with Chen Tong, wait for the opportunity to turn against him, and kill Chen Tong by surprise in order to protect His Majesty."
"Our family doesn't want to hear this."
Li Yan said coldly: "Our family wants to know where Lu Pin is right now? Where did he take the family members of Chen Tong and others?"
"No need to look for it."
A Dajian said.
"No need to look for it?"
Li Yan suddenly stood up, shook the whisk in his hand, and said sternly: "How dare you talk so much just to play with us?"
"Is it fun?"
"Believe it or not, our family is going to kill you right now?"
"Eunuch Li, the younger one said there was no need to look for him, but he determined that Lu Pin was Zhao Ping's manpower."
A Dajian explained: "Since it is Zhao Ping's manpower, he has two purposes in arresting the family members of Chen Tong and others."
"First, if His Majesty is defeated, he can use the family members of Chen Tong and others to force them and turn the tide of the war."
"Secondly, His Majesty won. He captured the heirs of Chen Tong and others in advance to avoid future troubles."
"I just haven't seen Zhao Ping now, so Lu Pin didn't show up."
"Once Zhao Ping comes, I believe that there is no need to look for him at all. Then Lu Pin will bring the family members of Chen Tong and others to come and ask for an audience."
"Please see your grandma's legs."
Li Yan didn't listen to him at all.
It’s so urgent that you still make this kind of judgment without much basis. What if the judgment is wrong?
Besides, who the hell are you?
You are just a little eunuch who works in the palace. If you are ordered to deliver the edict, you are just sent to die.
Do you really think of yourself as a counselor?
And how long have you been in Qingzhou? How many things can you know?
Eighty percent of it is bullshit.
Delay our time and let our family suffer with you.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Li Yan waved the fly whisk to end A Dajian's life.
At this time, a soldier hurried in and reported loudly, "Eunuch Li, a group of people came outside to see you."
