Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Brother, you are finally here"

On the official road two miles south of Taiyuan City, Dugu Feiying arrived with three forbidden soldiers on horseback, where he met the large army of Dugu Xin and others, and Dugu Feiying hurried forward.

Seeing his eldest brother, Dugu Feiying felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason. It was because of his trust in Dugu Xin since he was a child. Although the situation in Taiyuan City is turbulent, he believes that there is Dugu Xin, and those hidden The ghosts and ghosts in the dark will eventually be invisible

"Um"

Duguxin nodded, and then he did not talk nonsense, but directly asked: "How is the situation in Taiyuan City?"

Dugu Feiying's complexion suddenly became serious, after pondering for a while, he said a long story short: "Brother, the situation in the city is not optimistic. After we entered the city yesterday, we began to secretly check the inn's new arrivals in the past few days, and found that there were A Turkic businessman disguised as a Han, named Zhu Hongsheng, was very suspicious, so I sent someone to keep an eye on him.

Today, the Turkic merchant went to an ironware shop in the city, but it didn’t take long for the merchant and the owners and guys in the ironware shop to disappear under the eyes of the brothers. Later, through investigation, it was found that the ironware shop was There is actually a secret passage inside. The secret passage leads directly to another house on the west side of the iron shop. The Turkic merchants and the people of the iron shop escaped from that secret passage, but when we waited for our people to secretly go to the other end of the house, it was already empty. no one

At that time, I thought that both the Turkic businessman and the shopkeeper of the ironware shop had problems. They were probably the spies of the Turks who had planted in Taiyuan City, so I asked Zhang Dafu and the others to hunt down these two people all over the city, but I was limited in manpower. It's too difficult to find the two of them from Taiyuan City in a short period of time. At noon, the head of the Wang family, Wang Yu, the governor of Suizhou, just returned to Taiyuan, so I went to the Wang family to ask Wang Yu for help, hoping The guards of the royal family can also accompany us to hunt down the Turkic merchant and the treasurer of the iron shop."

"Why did you go to the Wang family to ask for help? So, does the Inspector Wang already know about his Royal Highness in Taiyuan?"

Hearing this, Dugu Xin suddenly looked slightly startled, interrupted Dugu Feiying's words, and asked.

Hearing Dugu Xin's bad tone, Dugu Feiying could not help shrinking his neck in fear, but he still explained:

"Uh, eldest brother, Governor Wang Shigui is a royal family member, and his son Wang Renbiao has a good relationship with the Marquis of Yongan. He should be on the side of us in this matter. Besides, the situation at that time was really urgent, if I couldn’t track down the Turkic merchant and the owner of the iron shop in a short time, they might escape from the city, and it would be even more difficult to catch them.”

Having said that, Dugu Feiying did not dare to go on, because he noticed that Dugu Xin's face was ashen at the moment.

"Naughty"

Hearing this, Duguxin couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "The purpose of your highness and others' trip to the north is a top secret among top secrets, how can you easily tell Yu Renruo that Your Highness is in danger this time, don't tell me Now, even if your father comes forward, he can't protect you."

"Hey, big brother, what should I do now?"

Dugu Feiying was speechless for a moment, then asked again.

Duguxin couldn't help but said: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about it, for today's plan, we can only take a step first, take a step, and then go on to say, after you asked the Wang family for help, did you catch the man named Zhu Hongsheng? The Turkic merchant and the owner of the iron shop"

Seeing that Dugu Xin did not intend to pursue further investigations for the time being, Dugu Feiying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he continued to speak: "It is strange to say that after the Governor Wang agreed to help us, many bright and dark sides emerged in the entire Taiyuan City. Countless people are looking for the whereabouts of the Turkic businessman and the owner of the iron shop, but even so, we have not been able to capture them, but we have captured the entourage of these two

Through torture and interrogation, we learned from the mouths of the servants that the name of the Turkic merchant was Zhu Xiesheng, a member of the Turkic Shatuo Department, and the owner of the iron shop was named Kang Changan. This man has always been mysterious, and few people know his origin. Few, in the end, with the help of Mr. Tieji Shop’s accountant, we got the Tieji Shop’s account book, but the process was not smooth.”

Having said this, Dugu Feiying briefly recounted to Dugu Xin the key witness Zhu Huaiqing was killed and the account books were almost completely burned. After listening, Dugu Xin frowned deeply. Realizing how complicated the situation in Taiyuan City is today, it seems that there is an invisible big hand that is secretly controlling all this.

Seeing Duguxin frowning, Dugu Feiying, who thought he had screwed up, didn't dare to speak. The two brothers rode war horses like this and marched in front of the convoy. Suddenly, Duguxin's eyes were fixed and he spoke in a deep voice. Said: "Flying Eagle, you are now entering the city quickly, asking to see the governor of Bingzhou, and saying that the Beiya Imperial Army has ordered to protect the safety of His Royal Highness King Wei and others, and needs to enter the city."

"what"

Dugu Feiying was shocked when he heard the words. It was true that the thousand imperial guards were protecting Li Tai and others along the way, but generally when Li Tai and others were resting in the county town, the main force of the imperial guards camped outside the city and waited. Those who will follow into the city, only a small number of the Imperial Guard will be led by Duguxin and follow Li Tai's side to protect his safety. Then if there is an emergency in the city, Duguxin will warn with fireworks. At that time, the army outside the city will enter the city. Now Dugu Xin actually wants to let all the thousand forbidden troops enter the city. Such an abnormal behavior makes Dugu Feiying very puzzled:

"Brother, why do so many people enter the city like this? The Turkic spies will definitely notice that our statement means that guns are easy to hide and hidden arrows are hard to guard against."

Duguxin said angrily: "In the past, everyone was not allowed to enter the city, it was indeed to avoid being attacked by the Turks.

The spies noticed, lest they stumble us on the road, but now you are making such a big noise in Taiyuan City with the help of the Wang family, unless the Turkic spies in the city are all deaf and blind, otherwise they will definitely notice something unusual Now that we have moved from the dark to the bright, I even suspect that the Turks may already know part of the purpose of the academy's trip."

Speaking of this, Dugu Xin couldn't help but feel a pain in his brain. He sent Dugu Feiying to Taiyuan City first, originally wanting to act in secret, but now Taiyuan City has been attacked by Dugu Feiying and Wang Jiaming and the dark side. The ups and downs caused by the forces, it is impossible to act in secret like before. They have now been forced from the dark side to the bright side by the other side, and they have become passive all of a sudden, because they now even know who the enemy is. , I don't know what the purpose is

"Ah, what should the Turkic Khan do if he knew the purpose of His Highness and the academy's group going north this time, wouldn't it be crazy to send troops directly to Taiyuan City to capture His Highness and the teachers and students of the academy?"

Hearing what Dugu Xin said, Dugu Feiying panicked inexplicably and said.

More than a month ago, the Turkic national teacher Wu Jie was able to sneak into Yunshan alone for some confidential information of the academy. Today, if the Turkic Khans knew the purpose of Li Tai and the others going north, it is impossible to guarantee that they would not directly dispatch elite soldiers as they did last time. Knocking into the border to destroy it, Li Tai and the academy will either be arrested or killed.

No matter what kind of result, it is not what they can bear

"So before you set off, I instructed you, no matter what, you must not tell anyone the mission of His Royal Highness and others on this trip."

Dugu Xin glared at Dugu Feiying and said angrily, "As of now, the Turks stationed in Taiyuan City must know something, but Taiyuan City is hundreds of miles away from the Turks Yating, and they must not have time to spread the news. Going back, since this is the case, then there is no need for us to continue to hide, and we simply put all our strength on the bright side. This is Taiyuan City, not the border of the empire. Even if the Turks hide some spies in Taiyuan City, as long as we are As long as you protect His Royal Highness and the academy and others closely, they will have no chance to find them.

You go to the city now, go to the governor's house to inform the governor of Bingzhou that since the hidden dangers in the Tongfu Inn have not been eliminated, after we enter the city, we will not live in the inn, but live directly in the inn in the city, where it is more convenient for brothers to defend "

Dugu Feiying felt that his elder brother was right, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It's my elder brother, and I'll go to the Governor's Mansion."

Seeing that Dugu Xin had nothing else to explain, he directly hit his horse to leave the army and ran towards the city gate.

In fact, with Dugu Feiying's temperament, he prefers the showdown of Ming Dao Ming grabbing, and stealing and unannounced visits is not his director. Now Dugu Xin has decided to reveal his identity and directly lead the army into the city, which is exactly what he wants.

After Dugu Feiying left, Dugu Xin called to the carriage that Li Tai was riding, and briefly introduced Li Tai to the complicated situation in Taiyuan City. After changing to the post house, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became solemn. Tie Dan, Qin Huaiyu, and Meng Wenhao all turned their attention to Li Tai. After waiting for his decision, after a moment of silence, Li Tai said solemnly:

"Since this is the case, everything depends on General Dugu's arrangement. In extraordinary times, you should be careful."

Seeing Li Tai's willingness to cooperate, Dugu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. If this was Li Tai from two years ago, he would definitely not be so reasonable. of the big inn.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding. Please rest assured, Your Highness. Your subordinates and others will do their best to protect the safety of Your Highness and others."

Dugu Xin clasped his fists.

"General Dugu is polite"

Li Tai smiled and said softly, but there was a hint of worry on his eyebrows at this time.

In the past, Li Tai was indeed a person who only cared about his own enjoyment, but now it is different. As the commander-in-chief of this northbound operation, he has the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety of these people in the academy.
