PS: Come on, come on, come and get some monthly passes, I want Chapter 725 Blood Letter. Several mages asked separately and got similar results. If asked separately, no one dares to tell lies. Chen Xiaoru's previous killing method of chopping people into pieces but still killing them very slowly made them frightened. Everyone was afraid that they would tell lies and their companions would betray them. Normal people can't stand the blood and gore after staring at a pig being chopped into pieces, let alone a human being? So the answers I got are basically the same. Chen Xiaoru asked people to take the five mages who were paralyzed with fear, and then went to see Fang Jie. "General, it seems that these people don't know much." Chen Xiaoru said: "We asked them separately, and the answers were almost the same. They said that less than a year ago, the Grand Duke of the Ross Principality found them all, and then The six of them were not allowed to leave the Principality of Ross, waiting for an important mission. Half a year ago, the Grand Duke found the six of them again and asked them to go to Dongchu. However, the matter was delayed again because the Grand Duke of the Principality of Ross was assassinated. "Come down." "Three months ago, they arrived in Dongchu, and were received by the Emperor of Dongchu. Together with an army of 500 people from the Ruos Principality, they took Dongchu's ship and sailed around the coast of the Sui Dynasty, directly to Nanyan. " He paused and said: "It's a bit unreasonable. Not to mention a year ago, even three months ago, we just defeated the Nanyan army. It was impossible for the Dongchu people to know the news that day and send people here immediately. . Therefore, even if there was no alliance between Murong Shai and Dong Chu, these people would still come to the Sui Dynasty. It is just that their original purpose was not here, but somewhere else." Fang Jie knew Chen Xiaoru's analysis. He was reasonable and nodded: "Don't relax and continue to interrogate. In addition, did the assassin leader of Dong Chu say anything?" "I said some things, but he was just the small leader of an assassination team secretly owned by the Emperor of Dong Chu. He acted according to orders and did not dare to ask why. " "He said" Chen Xiaoru looked through the confession: "Since a long time ago, the Grand Duke of the Ruos Principality has been in close contact with the Emperor of Dong Chu, which can be traced back to the beginning of the Sui Dynasty. When the civil strife began, he guessed that the Emperor of Dong Chu was planning to launch an attack on the Sui Dynasty, but Dong Chu's strength was limited and he did not dare to start a war easily. He planned to ask the Ross Principality to send troops to assist, and then give the Ross Principality some benefits. There has never been much interest in this matter. After all, the Principality of Ross is only a small country, and the number of troops it can mobilize is limited. It also faces threats from neighboring countries. " "This matter later took a turn, and the Grand Duke of the Principality of Ross was assassinated. After that, the powerful Opulu Empire on the other side of the ocean directly sent troops to take over the Principality of Rus and appointed a general to manage it. This general began to regain contact with the Emperor of Dongchu, and soon sent people to Dongchu. " General Chen Xiaoru. The confession was handed to Fang Jie: "This man only knows so much. He has inferred it based on what he heard." Fang Jie nodded, took the confession and read it: "Let him try his best to think about this. He will tell you everything he knows about the interactions between Dongchu and the Ross Principality in the past two years, as much as he can remember." "General" Chen Xiaoru hesitated and asked, "This matter seems to have nothing to do with us. The subordinates speculated that the Emperor of Dong Chu did not trust those people from the Rus' Principality. It happened that Murong Shai sent an envoy to Dong Chu to ask for help. In order to test the ability of these Rus' people, the Emperor of Dong Chu simply let them come to Nanyan? "Very good." Fang Jie praised: "What you think is not contrary to reason" He turned to look at San Jinhou and asked: "Hutong Tianxiaxing is the biggest partner of Dongchu merchants. The goods sent to the Sui Dynasty were basically handled by Dongchu merchants and Hutong Tianxiaxing. Marquis, how much do you know about the Principality of Rus, and how much do you know about the Opuru Empire? " San Jinhou pondered for a while and said: "Jiusecai knows more about foreigners, but he is not here I will leave it to Jiusecai to take care of the business with foreigners and Dongchu people. If the general needs it, I will immediately send someone to Chang'an to bring back the wine, sex and wealth. " "That's not necessary, I just want to know something. " Fang Jie waved his hands. "I don't know much" San Jinhou thought for a while and said: "On the other side of the ocean, the one closest to Dong Chu should be a powerful country called the Aegean Empire. The empire's There are many similarities with Sui Dynasty. Members of the imperial royal family would most likely be granted the title of prince, and then be given a large area in the empire as a fief. Called a kingdom, a principality. Is this Grand Duke of Rus the nephew of the emperor of the Aegean Empire? It seems that the fiefdom is in the far west. " "Most of the foreigners that Dongchu merchants come into contact with are people from the Rus Principality. But later, againThere was an empire called Opulu in the east, which gradually rose and continuously attacked the Aegean Empire. The Aegean Empire's army lost consecutive battles and lasted less than a year before being destroyed by the Opulu Empire. After the imperial capital was captured, the emperor of the Love Empire was hanged. After that, all the affiliated kingdoms and principalities of the Aegean Empire declared their allegiance to the Opulu Empire, so they were preserved. " "The Principality of Rus is the furthest away from the Opuru Empire. No matter how powerful the Opuru Empire is, it does not have enough military power to cleanse all the kingdoms and principalities of the Aegean Empire. Therefore, after they surrendered, they still maintained their original state. status. The Grand Duke of Rus was assassinated, and the Opuru Empire sent troops to the Rus Principality, which was obviously related to the Dongchu people. " Fang Jie nodded. He always felt that the stories of foreigners were very familiar. Then he thought about it. There were too many versions of historical stories he had read in his previous life. " Send people to Eastern Xinjiang again. " Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "I always feel that the ambition of the Opulu Empire is not small. Either Dong Chu is using the Opuru Empire, or the Opuru Empire is using Dong Chu. If it is the latter, then The target of the Opuru Empire is obviously not just Dongchu If nothing else happens, the Grand Duke of Ross should have been assassinated by people from the Opuru Empire, and then Opuru's army directly took over the Principality of Ross. " "I wrote two personal letters, one to General Yang Shunhui and one to Mu Mansion. Fang Jie rubbed the corners of his frowning eyebrows: "Now the Sui Dynasty Navy is in civil strife. The most powerful Yangtze River Navy has been divided into fourone part is in the hands of Wang Yiqu, and the other part is in the hands of Luo Tu." , and some have returned to the court, and the smallest part is in our hands. " Fang Jie said with some worry: "At this time, if there is another invasion of foreign enemies in Eastern Xinjiang, the Great Sui Dynasty will really be in chaos. " At this moment, a Knight Riding School suddenly ran over in a hurry. Several Knight Riding Schools behind him supported a courier who looked almost fainted from the exhaustion. He should also be from the Riding School. "General, in the capital, A letter has arrived! " Fang Jie picked the fire paint, and took out a secret letter in the iron box. Fang Jie's originally thought it would be written by Mu San or wine color, but you can see that the font is not right. It's very elegant, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by a woman, and the handwriting is very neat, and there is a sense of solemnity in the words and sentences. The strangest thing is that this letter was written with a brush. He frowned slightly, and then read the secret letter from beginning to end. "Mu San has made a great contribution this time" Fang Jie's eyebrows raised involuntarily, with surprise in his eyes. , he sighed slightly and handed the letter to Hou Sanjin: "The little emperor committed suicide and all the descendants of the Yang family were imprisoned in Changchun Garden. Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing, who led the troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, have also been stripped of their official titles. The armored generals left Chang'an and seemed to be seizing military power. The face of the armored general has also been found out It's really unexpected! " Sanjin Hou Wu Yiyi took the letter and looked at it carefully. After reading a few words, his expression changed drastically: "It turns out that he is actually the founder of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizu? ! " He actually stood up in surprise, and the hand holding the letter was trembling slightly. Seeing how ugly his face was, he was obviously frightened by what was written in the letter. But this is also a normal reaction, no one would have thought of that. The armored general turned out to be Yang Jian, Emperor Taizu of the Sui Dynasty. ¡°Is this what Luo Yao is worried about? " Fang Jie murmured. "I'm afraid it is" Wu Daodao sat down again, but his emotions had not recovered yet: "Wan Xingchen has good tricks He actually used half of his own cultivation to help Sui Dynasty. Although the princess's letter said that Wan Xingchen did this out of revenge, is this not a method that goes against heaven? I have been in Chang'an for so many years, but I have never heard of such an incredible thing But if Yang Jian is resurrected, then who is Puhu? " "The letter said that Yang Jian actually absorbed half of Wan Xingchen's cultivation. Coupled with the Qi that Yang Jian had cultivated for so long, no wonder he was able to defeat Luo Yao. A master like Luo Yao must have sensed something, and those old monsters in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy must also have heard about it, so they revealed the news to Luo Yao, with the purpose of making Luo Yao and Yang Jian fight to the death. Those people in the south of the Yangtze River are very calculating. They want to make a profit. Fang Jie nodded and said, "This secret letter was brought out of Changchun Garden by Mu San with all his might." If he wasn't familiar with the garden, he would never sneak in secretly. Now the eldest princess Yang Qinyan is trapped in Changchun Garden and wrote this letter in blood" "Let the general lead your troops to the north? " Wu Yiyi shook his head: "Absolutely not! ¡± He said eagerly: "Those 20,000 armored troops are not expected to be alive. It should be that Yang Jian and Wan Xingchen used some means to preserve such 20,000 of the most elite soldiers. Although our current military strength is not weak, we can There is a nine-tenth chance that we will not win if we go north! General, think twice, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term!¡± ¡°I know.¡± Fang Jie took the blood letter and read it again. The last sentence in the letter was particularly eye-catching. "When the Great Sui Dynasty is in trouble, I have no one else to ask for except the general. I only hope that the general will still feel a little grateful that it is not easy for the Yang family, the country is not easy, and the people are not easy. It is not easy to save the Sui Dynasty" "Yang Jian is her ancestor. But she said she wanted me to save Da Sui. Why?" Fang Jie knew that there were too many things that were not written clearly in this letter. And how helpless will the princess who is trapped in Changchun Garden feel? "In any case, now is not the time to march northward!" Wu Yiyi shook his head and said: "Now our Black Flag Army has not yet established a stable foothold in the southwest. Yongbei Road, Nanhui Road, and Beihui Road, these three roads are not yet with us. In his hands, although the Zhuqueshan Camp and Yongzhou have a tight grip on these three areas, it is not easy to get those people to compromise. In addition, Murong Shai has to conquer the south. How can the general have the energy to go north? If you are not careful, everything that the Black Flag Army has worked hard to build will be in vain!" Fang Jie glanced at Wu Dao, and then clasped his fists: "Everything the Marquis said is for Black Flag! The army will consider it, thank you!" Wu Daodao was slightly startled, and then said: "I gave everything to the Black Flag Army to the general. For the sake of the future, the general should ignore this letter." Fang Jie nodded. Nodding: "I know, I won't do anything stupid." He looked at Wu Daodao's eager face, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.
