When Shen Cha's secret letter arrived, Yerunan had just finished a practical training session. His opponent was Qi Zhifeng, his dear son of Qi. The two sides spent nearly an hour and it was almost a draw.
Qi Zhifeng came to the border to lead troops. Yerunan was opposed to it from the beginning. The battlefield was ruthless and the sword had no eyes. He couldn't bear to have his heart hurt even a little bit. Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi were originally from the same camp as him, but for some reason, or how this little guy persuaded Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi, he actually agreed for the only son in the family to come to this dangerous place.
Qi Zhifeng disagreed with Yerunan's statement. Compared with the border, Linhuang Mansion was really full of dangers. The competition between various forces, the prying eyes of spies from all sides, and the unreasonable suspicion of the one on the throne. The entire Linhuang Mansion was full of dangers. The sky above seemed to be caught by a large invisible net, airtight and breathless. Over time, they will either be assimilated or killed.
What's more, his decision was praised by Yelvertu, and he even praised it at the court meeting, saying that all the men of Liao Dynasty, especially the important ministers of Linhuang Mansion and the children of noble families, should have such courage and such courage. Our ambition is not to rest on the merits of our ancestors and fathers, but to rely on ourselves to achieve our own merits.
Yerunan agreed with Yelvertu's statement, but he saw something deeper.
Not only did he see it, Xiao Fengqi, who followed him to the border, also saw that even if Qi Zhifeng himself did not take the initiative to leave Linhuang Mansion, within three to five months, Yelvertu would find an excuse to let him leave.
"After Mr. Qi left, the eldest son was the only one left in Linhuang Mansion. Without the help of Anan and Mr. Qi, and without the power behind you two, the eldest son is isolated and helpless, unable to stir up any trouble." Xiao Fengqi sneered. , "In this way, whatever happens in Linhuang Mansion will have nothing to do with the Crown Prince. This is a good thing for the Crown Prince."
Yerunan and Xiao Fengqi basically had the same idea. In addition, he also thought of another point, which was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
He could even be suspicious of the prince to the point of transferring the people around him away from Linhuang Mansion, and Yelvertu would be even more unscrupulous about other people. Once certain behaviors of certain people exceed his tolerance, he will not be polite.
No matter what Yelvertu's purpose is, it is a definite fact that Qi Zhifeng will come to guard the border. Even if he is not happy, it will be of no use.
"For people like us, instead of scheming in Linhuang Mansion, it is better to accumulate military exploits and control the military power. By the time the king reacts and regrets his decision, it will be too late."
Yerunan's words were agreed by Xiao Fengqi and Qi Zhifeng. After coming to the border, looking back at what they had done, they always felt that they were a bit short-minded in the past, but they couldn't explain why they felt this way. clear.
After the practical training, Yerunan, Qi Zhifeng and Xiao Fengqi entered the big tent one after another. The secret envoy who had been waiting in the tent immediately handed Shen Cha's secret letter to Yerunan's hand.
After sitting down, Yerunan opened the thin roll of paper and looked at the content inside carefully. After reading it, his whole face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
"Anan?" Qi Zhifeng had been paying attention to Yerunan's expression. Seeing him like this, he frowned slightly, "What happened?"
Yerunan looked at Qi Zhifeng and then at Xiao Fengqi, who had an equally confused look on his face. He waved his hand at the servants in the tent to ask them to retreat, and ordered his personal guards to guard the tent and not allow anyone to approach.
When there were only three of them left in the tent, Yerunan showed a malicious smile towards Qi Zhifeng and Xiao Fengqi.
"Undress!"
"What?"
The two of them couldn't believe their ears. They didn't expect Yerunan to say such a sentence.
"Say it again!" Qi Zhifeng stood up and took two steps towards Yerunan, "What do you want us to do?"
"Take off your clothes! Hurry!"
Qi Zhifeng turned around and looked at Xiao Fengqi. The two of them were thinking at the same time, is this person crazy? Why did my brain suddenly break down after reading a letter, and my consciousness became unclear? Did you want to freeze them to death in the cold weather?
Seeing the looks of these two people, Yerunan knew in his heart that they had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it yet because he was not sure whether the two people were suspected. Therefore, he knocked on the armrest of the chair and signaled the two of them not to dawdle and do whatever they needed to do quickly.
Qi Zhifeng and Xiao Fengqi saw that it was absolutely impossible to escape, so they were very straightforward. They were both grown men and there was nothing to avoid suspicion, so they just took off their clothes.
Yerunan kept staring at the two of them, and looked at Xiao Yizhancha's body several times, up and down, front and back, and indeed did not find the pattern Shen Cha drew in the letter. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two of them to put their clothes back on.
"Anan, you have to explain it carefully today. It's okay..."
Before Qi Zhifeng finished speaking, Yerunan sent Shen Cha's secret letter to the two of them.
"Let's see!"
While the two of them were reading the secret letter, Yerunan did not hesitate, took off his clothes, and let them check it calmly.
After personally verifying that none of the three people had anything to do with the Tantai family or the Black Armor Camp, they sat around and discussed what to do next.
"The incident happened suddenly. We must now break our original position and establish a new alliance to fight against this powerful force." Yerunan pointed to the secret letter that had been burned to ashes, "This is no longer the Yelu family, The fight with the Xiao family is not a dispute with Xia and Jin, the situation we have to face is more serious than these."
"This really caught us off guard. It was something we didn't expect at all. Such a powerful opponent appeared out of nowhere."
Shen Cha's secret letter gave them a blow. No one expected that such a crisis was hidden in the secret. Whoever is fighting among themselves now is the biggest fool and the biggest and most heartless person in the world.
"But, if it's like what Sister Xiaocha said in her letter, why haven't they taken action yet?" Qi Zhifeng was puzzled. He pointed at himself, Yerunan, and then looked at Xiao Fengqi, "To be fair, our family has not done anything in the past few years. That’s a lot of trouble, isn’t it?”
"Isn't this enough?" Yerunan and Xiao Fengqi said in unison.
"What do you two mean?" Qi Zhifeng was confused by them, "You mean, they are responsible for all our troubles over the years?"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Fengqi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "When the Queen Mother was still there, although the relationship between our families was not harmonious, it would not develop into what it is today, and it is even less likely that our clan members would be assassins. Tuan, the foolish attempt to trigger a war between Xia and Liao. This would have been absolutely impossible if no one had instigated it."
"General Shen is right when he says that once a person has selfish motives, he or she has a weakness and can easily be exploited and attacked."
"That's it, and we have been fighting for so many years. There is no need to provoke at all, you just need to give us suggestions." Xiao Fengqi nodded, while thinking about whether anyone he knew had this mark on his body. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. "According to the description in the secret letter, the mark is usually on the inside of the wrist or below the neck, but in my impression, I have never seen it before."
"There are no people we know, but it doesn't mean there are no people around us. Their family backgrounds may not be very prominent, and their status may not be high." Yerunan scratched his chin, "But the more this happens, the harder it will be to find out. If we make a big splash, If we go to investigate, it will be easy to alert the enemy and give the other party an opportunity to escape. If we don't investigate..."
"Now that we know it, it is absolutely impossible not to investigate." Xiao Fengqi waved his hand, "This scourge must be eradicated completely, otherwise, don't talk about us, our descendants will be restricted by these people."
"We should have a sequence and priority." Qi Zhifeng knocked on the table lightly, "We should start from the palace, important ministers, nobles and border areas. As long as there are problems found, they should be detained immediately. Otherwise Give them time to breathe.”
"Also, this matter needs to be informed to the king in advance, and Linhuang Mansion must have his support. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to inspect the palace, important ministers, and noble residences in Linhuang Mansion." Xiao Fengqi then added, "By the way, does the prince have this mark on his body? Is he worthy of our trust?"
"Allan doesn't have it with him, and neither does the king. This is certain. General Shen's secret letter was sent to Linhuang Mansion and handed directly to the king. I believe the king will take it seriously." Yerunan said seriously. Sighing, "In any case, we owe this favor. How we should repay it when the time comes depends on our sincerity."
