"What? Douchuan Pass was lost? Wang Tiexin died in battle? When did this happen?" Gu Zhao's face was shocked, but his heart was heavy.

Feng You's face was as red as blood, and he was still furious, "It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. What a pity...Wang Tiexin..."

The famous generals in Bei'an were withering away. Wang Tiexin was one of the few veteran generals who was calm and reliable. The court placed high hopes on him and placed him at Douchuan Pass. No one expected that this time Donghao suddenly attacked and General Wang Tiexin died for his country.

Sure enough, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month just like in the previous life.

Douchuan Pass is located at the throat of Donghao going south. Once occupied by Donghao, Bei'an's tens of thousands of miles of territory will be like a defenseless lamb, exposing its tender chest and abdomen.

This was indeed a huge piece of bad news, but what silenced everyone in the Control He Division was that, according to the urgent news sent back from Douchuan Pass, Donghao's army seemed to have a thorough understanding of the defense arrangements at Douchuan Pass.

This shows that Donghao has already obtained relevant information!

How could such important information be obtained and brought back by Donghao? Why did the Control He Division know nothing about it? This is indeed the biggest shame and dereliction of duty of the Control He Division!

The Night Albizia formula handed over by Wei Yongming is already in the hands of the Taiyuan Hospital. The Taiyuan Hospital said that with this formula, the antidote can definitely be produced.

Dian Fengnian reported this huge progress to Emperor Shouzheng and had just received the emperor's commendation. However, what followed was the bad news that Douchuan Pass had been lost and the defense layout was suspected to have been leaked in advance.

As can be imagined, Dian Fengnian was scolded by the emperor again. Several black-clothed and white cranes were present. Listening to Feng You's story, they all looked heavy.

The Konghe Division had been dormant for many years, and it was the emperor's deliberate suppression. It finally had such a chance to rise, but it encountered such changes.

"Hmph, we were not allowed to monitor the officials earlier and we were just on guard. Now that something happened, why should we say it was our incompetence?" Miao Qing said with a sneer.

When the Konghe Division was at its peak, the imperial court's expressions changed when they heard about it. Isn't it because the Konghe Division had so many eyes and knew all the public and private affairs of civil and military officials?

However, Emperor Shouzheng put the Controlling He Division in a high cabinet. The Controlling He Division had no power at all, so how could it fight against the Qinglong Guards?

"If it hadn't been for Lady Gu's extraordinary move and one hit, we might still not be able to see us from above." Tang Yaohang also complained.

At this point, the three of them no longer looked at Gu Zhao at a distance as before, and they clearly regarded her as one of their own.

"Ms. Gu is really amazing, especially the capture of Wei Yongming, which is really wonderful." Zhang Xinkun praised sincerely.

He had already listened to Xiaohe's talk about the arrest at that time, and by working backwards, he could basically figure out Gu Zhao's thinking. However, in such a short period of time, he quickly reacted and launched the arrest, which shows Gu Zhao's agility.

and smart.

Wei Yongming is too important. If you catch him and get the formula, Konghe Division will be in an invincible position.

Miao Qing and Tang Yaohang also praised Gu Zhao.

"Gong De said that he would ask the Holy One for merit for Gu Zhao, but once the Douchuan Pass incident comes out, it is hard to mention it again." Feng You pinched his eyebrows and said a little tiredly.

Gu Zhao also had a heavy expression on his face, "This is a trivial matter. I am afraid that after the Douchuan Pass is lost, Donghao will use it as a base to encroach on our hinterland. If we are not careful, there will be serious trouble."

This was the case in the previous life. Donghao claimed that they did not want to become enemies with Bei'an. As long as they obtained the three hundred miles of land around Douchuan Pass and allowed the tribe to thrive, they would never start a war.

In the following years, Donghao really guarded the Douchuan Pass and lived in peace with the people of Bei'an in the occupied area. Every year, he submitted credentials and tributes to the Bei'an court as a vassal, with a low profile.

Just when everyone in Bei'an gradually relaxed their vigilance, several princes suddenly fought together.

There was chaos in the court.

Thinking about it now, Gu Zhao was very suspicious that the reason why they had no brotherhood towards each other and regarded each other as mortal enemies might be because Donghao Qinglongwei was behind it to sow discord and add fuel to the flames.

At this moment, Xiaohe came to convey a message, and Lord Dian summoned Fengyou and Gu Zhao.

"After Wei Yongming handed over the Night Albizia formula, Degong sent someone to take over. I'm afraid there is some new confession." Feng You led Gu Zhao to the main courtyard.

Feng You guessed correctly, Wei Yongming indeed made a new confession, but Gu Zhao didn't expect that this matter would be related to her.

"Tang Zhongyun? He is from Donghao?" Gu Zhao looked at Wei Yongming's confession and was a little surprised. The pale face during the Huayuan case emerged in his mind.

The confession stated that Tang Zhongyun was the legitimate son of the Zhong family of the Donghao aristocratic family, his real name was Zhong Yuntang, and he was the captain of the Qianlong squad of the Qinglong Guard in Shangjing.

Zhong Yuntang is a thoughtful person.

Before serving as the captain of the Qianlong Squadron, he traveled in Bei'an for many years. As a romantic talent, he recorded Bei'an's geography, mountains, rivers, humanities and customs, and used them as materials for Donghao's army.

After arriving in Shangjing, Zhong Yuntang, as the captain of the Qianlong Squadron, was not only responsible for poisoning the prince and disrupting the Bei'an court, but also had another task, which was to bribe and develop Bei'an people to become members of the Qinglong Guard.

Wei Yongming and Zhong Yuntang had known each other since they were in Donghao. Although their status was quite different, Wei Yongming, as an important pharmacist, also had a certain status in front of Zhong Yuntang.

Especially after arriving in Beijing and meeting old friends again in an enemy country, it was inevitable to chat a few more words.

"Zhong Yuntang said that those wealthy ladies in Bei'an were too easy to deceive. He had affairs with many famous women, many of whom he had a handle on and had to be used by him to collect important military and state information for him.

.”

But Zhong Yuntang is very tight-lipped, and Wei Yongming doesn't know exactly which women he controls.

Gu Zhao suddenly remembered that if this was the case, there might be another reason for Li Meizhu's death.

In addition to being pregnant and forced into marriage to anger Zhong Yuntang, another possibility is that Li Meizhu discovered some flaws in Zhong Yuntang, so Zhong Yuntang killed her to silence her.

"Has Tang Zhongyun been brought to trial?" Gu Zhao asked.

Dian Fengnian's face was gloomy, "Tang Zhongyun has escaped from prison long ago, but Jingzhao Yamen didn't pay attention to it, and we didn't even notice it!"

Today's Bei'an is full of holes, so it's no wonder that Qinglongwei is causing trouble everywhere.

Gu Zhao was puzzled, "How did he escape from prison?"

After all, Shangjing is also the capital of Bei'an. It is impossible for Zhong Yuntang to attack the prison of Jingzhao Yamen with arms. There must be insider support.

Speaking of this, Dian Fengnian became so angry that his voice turned into a lament, "
