Under Chunming's door, Li Xuan carefully looked through the entry and exit records in his hand.
Yao Yi stood aside and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, news just came back from Yijun County. They found five abandoned horses of the Ministry of Justice near Yuhua Palace. Ashina, Nishugui and the others were nowhere to be seen. "
Li Xuan closed this chapter of the record in her hand and said with a cold face: "It seems that someone reported the news of Ashina Gana being captured, and some of the details are very clear."
Yao Yi suddenly looked surprised: "But Your Majesty, the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment have completely restricted their travel today!"
Li Xuan glanced at Yao Yi calmly and said calmly: "So now, who is the one who can move normally?"
"Now the only ones who can move are Yongzhou Prefecture, Qianniu Guard and Jinwu Guard. Even the people in Dali Temple are inconvenient to move." The corner of Yao Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, his face became a little pale. Feeling embarrassed.
Li Xuan glanced at Yao Yi and nodded with satisfaction. Yao Chong's father was still somewhat capable.
Li Xuan glanced back at the city of Chang'an and said coldly: "Send orders to Di Renjie to investigate the movements of Yongzhou Prefecture, Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards, including a group of people in Dali Temple. I want to know, Ashina Ni How did you know the news about Chang'an in time?"
"No!" Yao Yi immediately handed over his hand, feeling pity for Di Renjie in his heart.
The Jinwu Guard was the best to handle. When the King of Nanchang gave the order, no one in the entire Jinwu Guard dared not to cooperate.
Although Yang Deqian, the chief historian, is now in charge of the Yongzhou Prefecture, the previous Yongzhou Shepherd was Li Xian, the King of Yong who became the crown prince.
When Li Xian served as the pastor of Yongzhou, although he basically paid no attention to the matters in Yongzhou Mansion, the officials of Yongzhou Mansion had a lot of connections with Li Xian's mansion, and now many people have entered the East Palace.
With the combination of inside and outside, it is definitely not easy to investigate Yongzhou Mansion.
Then came Dali Temple. Di Renjie was born in Dali Temple and asked him to check with his colleagues in Dali Temple to see if he wanted to live in Dali Temple again.
Finally, there is Qianniuwei. Qianniuwei is the hardest to investigate. If you are not careful, you will immediately touch the secrets that you should not know.
However, Yao Yi didn't know that Li Xuan used Di Renjie because she believed that he could handle these relationships well and find that person.
Although the current Di Renjie is not the chief minister of the Wu Dynasty twenty years later, his strong ability has allowed him to stand out in Dali Temple.
Whatever Di Renjie wants to do, the first person to support him is probably Zhang Wenguan, the minister of Dali Temple.
Then came Li Xuan, and then Empress Wu, whose eyes had dropped.
Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Yao Yi, and said in a cold voice: "Here's an order, from now on, all business travelers who want to enter the grassland through northern Shaanxi will be detained. The nobles and descendants are advised to return, and the officials of various ministries of the imperial court are ordered to contact their superiors immediately. , the superior will present a certificate and those who can verify their identity can continue traveling north; those who cannot, they will be ordered to return immediately; those who obstruct will be arrested immediately."
"Your Majesty, those who cannot verify their identity should be arrested immediately. Why should they be asked to return? Once they are out of sight, they are likely to escape?" Yao Yi suddenly didn't understand.
"Chang Shi, you and I can understand things that the local magistrates can't understand. The reason why I don't explain it so thoroughly is because I don't want Ashina to know about my order." Li Xuan One sentence points out the problem.
"I see, that official is staring at..." Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan cautiously.
From the moment Li Xuan's order is issued, it is easiest to find out the hidden mastermind by carefully staring at everyone who handles this information.
Li Xuan took a deep look at Yao Yi, nodded, and then said solemnly: "Be careful, this matter is very dangerous, it is best to listen to your son's opinion."
"Yao Chong?" Yao Yi was slightly startled, but still raised his hand and said, "I understand."
Although Yao Chong is still young, even he, a father, admires all the insights he puts forward.
"You will be in charge of Chang'an City. I will rush to Fangzhou immediately. I will contact you with the carrier pigeon." Li Xuan got on his horse and
He looked coldly to the northeast: "Without horses, the time for them to escape back to the grassland will be delayed. As time goes by, they will not be able to escape from my eyes. You know, some places have to escape back to the grassland. Must pass through the passage."
"I wish you a successful return," Yao Yi said with a solemn expression.
He knew that Li Xuan used this method to capture Ashina Gana.
Now that he appears again, he will definitely be able to capture Ashina Nishugo, even if he has escaped for more than a day in advance.
Li Xuan led Qin Jun, Cui Ding and others, as well as two teams of Jinwu Guards, and rushed towards northern Shaanxi.
Especially Qin Jun and his men. Before, they just missed a little time and their military achievements were gone.
Therefore, Qin Jun is determined to win Ashina Nishugui.
Traveling in a hurry, they arrived at Huangling County in the evening. After making some inquiries, Li Xuan led the people to Wulipu in Xishan without any hesitation. Even the Huangling County magistrate was extremely surprised.
They just blocked all the checkpoints very strictly, and anyone with the slightest suspicion would be arrested immediately. But after hearing their arrangement, the King of Nanchang immediately went to Wulipu without hesitation.
Could it be said that the King of Nanchang has the ability to predict the future?
Could it be that Ashina Nishugui and a group of people are really in Wulipu now?
One night later, under Huangling County.
Seeing the group of embarrassed people being escorted by the Jinwu Guards, Huangling County Magistrate was really shocked.
The King of Nanchang actually caught the fleeing Ashina and Nishugui group of people in Wulipu, Qiaoshan. This is incredible.
"Your Majesty has a keen sense of smell, and I am impressed by my subordinates." Huangling County Magistrate bowed seriously to Li Xuan, his expression full of admiration.
Li Xuan's decisive behavior, if he catches someone, is called battlefield sense, which is extremely sharp; if he doesn't catch anyone, it is arbitrary and will waste the opportunity of fighting.
Li Xuan waved her hand directly and said with some disappointment: "Although Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang will be found, the only daughter of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang turned away halfway, making it impossible for me to do my full work."
Li Xuan turned around. Among the crowd behind him, Ashina Yun was the only one missing.
"The king is very harsh on himself. It's just a woman. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as there is Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, the Turks can be stable." The Huangling County Magistrate did not care about Ashina Yun's escape. He really focused on it. Ashina Ni is standing tall, with a hint of gnashing of teeth in her eyes.
Huangling is located in northern Shaanxi. Once the grassland tribes move south and the northern checkpoints and counties cannot resist it, Huangling County will immediately fall under the ravages of the Turks' iron hoof. By then, Huangling County will be miserable. The evaluation of Huangling County Magistrate will also be immediately affected.
Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "Send an order to all counties in northern Shaanxi to beware of Turkic tribes taking advantage of the situation to break in. There are people in Ashina and Gana to respond. There is no chance that there will be no movement here in Ashina and Nishugo."
Huangling County Magistrate left and took a breath of cold air: "I will send you the order immediately."
"I won't wait any longer. I want to return to Chang'an immediately." Li Xuan waved his hand, and everyone in Jinwu Guards who had rested immediately stood up and began to prepare to get on their horses. Ashina, Nishugo and others were also killed. Tied to the horse's back.
The Huangling County Magistrate was startled and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, traveling at night is difficult and accidents are easy to happen!"
Li Xuan waved her hand and said: "The night is long and the dream is long. No one from all parties has received the news that I have caught Ashina. Now even if the news leaks, under the curfew, it is difficult for anyone who is interested to take action. If there is really any action, , on the contrary, it is easier to be found by following the clues, but there are still people watching over there in Chang'an."
There was a sneer on Li Xuan's lips. Neither Di Renjie nor Yao Chong's father Yao Yi were easy to mess with.
Hearing what Li Xuan said, the Huangling County Magistrate immediately felt a shudder in his heart and handed over his hands: "I obey the order."
"The county magistrate is cautious. There is not much I can do, but I can still do it by mentioning it to the Queen of Heaven." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he handed over his hands and immediately turned around and left.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sui Zhuang, the magistrate of Huangling County, immediately handed over his hand.
Late at night
Quietly, Li Xuan and a group of people appeared quietly under the Dong Chunming Gate in Chang'an City.
Qin Jun asked Li Xuan in a low voice: "Twenty-seventh Lang, do you want to enter the city?"
Li Xuan lowered his head, thought for a while, and said: "Inform the Chunming Gate gatekeeper that we have arrived, and ask him to immediately pass the news back to Jinwu Guards, and at the same time pass the message to the palace. We will not enter the city for the time being, and will sit in Weicheng first. Dongyi, take a look and see if there will be anyone with ulterior motives coming to rob someone tonight."
A sneer appeared on Li Xuan's lips. If his guess was correct, someone would really take action, and the person who would take action must be someone from the King of East China Sea.
Chang'an is the home base of the King of East China Sea. With his status, it is easy for him to use a lot of power.
To be honest, for Li Xuan, the danger of entering the city at this moment is probably greater than staying at the inn outside the city.
Don't forget, there are people directly involved in this matter in Jinwuwei, Qianniuwei, Chang'an Wannian County, and even Dali Temple. If you don't pay attention, there will be huge risks immediately.
Inside the post station, a group of Qianniu guards guarded Ashina Nishugo to death. The postmen of the inn itself were also on guard outside the door. The importance of Ashina Nishugo was very important to everyone. important.
The defection of Ashina Nishugou and Ashina Gana was only concealed from ordinary people. Officials of both the government and the public knew it clearly.
They also knew how serious the consequences would be if Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Gana escaped back to the grassland, so everyone tried their best to help Li Xuan.
Especially now that we have arrived at Chang'an City, we must not let anyone take Ashina Nishugui away.
Standing at the window, Li Xuan looked directly at the door of the small courtyard, and then looked through the door of the small courtyard to the gate of the inn.
However, although the situation in front of him was tense, in Li Xuan's view, it was just tense.
The King of East China Sea had no hidden agenda behind this incident, but it was the most shocking.
Pei Xingjian, the Minister of War, and Pei Yan, the Minister of Punishments, were involved in the storm in front of them. The King of East China Sea had the most ruthless plot against them.
As for the Turks, although there is a possibility of rebuilding the Turkic Khanate, the tribes have been scattered for a long time. If they want to form a joint force to threaten the northern border of the Tang Dynasty in a short time, at least for now, they still need several years of preparation. At the moment, they are not enough grid.
The Tubo people and the King of the East China Sea had a two-bird strategy at once. One was against the Turks, and the other was against Pei Xingjian, the Minister of War. After all, he was the number one god of war in the entire Tang Dynasty, including Xue Rengui and Cheng Chu. Bidu can't compare.
What Li Xuan doesn't understand is why this matter involves Pei Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the small courtyard to the side. An entry had already appeared.
[Ashina Yun, the lord of Jianchang County, the only daughter of Ashina, the general of Zuo Xiaowei's Zhonglang, so the general of Youwei, the prince of Beiping County, and the great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan]
