While speaking, Xu Chu, who was frank and lenient, spoke more and more smoothly. Gradually, the whole person paced back and forth in the room, describing the whole thing vividly.

"I know that there must be something unknown here, so I mobilized all my strength to investigate Zhao Tuo, only to find out that he miraculously disappeared, and it seemed that there was no Zhao Tuo in the whole of Lingnan." !"

"Oh, my mother, this surprise is not small. In the end, after all my efforts to investigate, I discovered an earth-shattering event!"

Ying Shou and Di Renjie listened quietly. It was okay at first, but after hearing that Zhao Tuo had disappeared, both of them couldn't help frowning, feeling something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, guess what earth-shattering event it is?"

As a result, just when the most important point was mentioned, Xu Chu came up with a black face and said winkingly.

"roll!"

Ying Shou was waiting for this guy to say his next sentence. At this moment, he got stuck and was so angry that Ying Shou kicked him.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

With a scream, Xu Chu flew upside down and lay on the ground, shaking the ground.

"I don't know what earth-shattering event is, but I know, if you dare to talk nonsense, I can take your head right now!"

Ying Shou said coldly with a gloomy face.

"Forehead!"

Xu Chu forced himself to get up from the pain, and couldn't help but look embarrassed. When it came to forgetting his feelings, he almost didn't notice that he was talking to this person.

"hey-hey!"

Immediately, Xu Chu hurriedly laughed twice, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is like this. The earth-shattering event is that Zhao Tuo died!"

"what?"

As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, Di Renjie suddenly stood up and said, "Zhao Tuo is dead?"

Ying Shou also narrowed his eyes suddenly, looked at Xu Chu, and said, "You said Zhao Tuo is dead?"

Xu Chu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Zhao Tuo is dead!"

This time, without waiting for Ying Shou to ask, Di Renjie hurriedly asked: "How did Zhao Tuo die, please tell me quickly?"

Hearing this, Xu Chu looked Di Renjie up and down, and said, "You old man, didn't you notice that I was talking to His Majesty? Your Majesty didn't even speak, what are you in a hurry for? Also, who are you old man, in front of His Majesty If you dare to sit on an equal footing, you are not afraid of losing your head?"

When Di Renjie heard this, he was almost dumbfounded.

"Shut up Xu Chu, Mr. Di Renjie and Mr. Di in front of you, come with me this time, so don't be unreasonable in the future, and answer Mr. Di's questions quickly!"

Ying Shou's eyes widened. What he was most afraid of was this kind of person who always changed the subject unintentionally while chatting.

"Oh, good Your Majesty!"

Xu Chu hurriedly responded, and said, "Zhao Tuo's death, you may not be able to believe it, but he actually died outside Hengpu Pass, and was intercepted and killed!"

"Outside Hengpu Pass, was it intercepted and killed?"

Ying Shou and Di Renjie frowned one after another. Outside Hengpu Pass, they were outside the border of South Vietnam.

Now that Zhao Tuo has declared his rebellion, it is still possible to hide in Nanyue. If he runs out of Nanyue, isn't that the same as courting death, where the Central Plains directly belong to the world!

Chapter 40 Ancient Forces

"Intercepted and killed... outside Hengpu Pass..."

Di Renjie frowned. Known as the detective, at this moment, he immediately began to think deeply and reason.

"How is this possible? Today's Zhao Tuo, even if he is known as the king of Nanyue, is all right. Besides, he has declared a rebellion, so it is impossible for him to leave Nanyue and die in the territory of Daqin!"

"The only possibility is that he didn't think of rebelling! And you said that he had disappeared for more than a month before, and you investigated it more than a month ago. The first and the second are two months. Isn't it that his Did he die in the same order as my Great Qin Envoy? Could it be that he was killed together with my Great Qin Envoy when he returned to Xianyang with my Great Qin Envoy?"

Di Renjie muttered to himself, and at the end, he looked at Xu Chu suddenly, and said, "General Xu Chu, is that so?"

Xu Chu was startled, looked at Di Renjie in disbelief, and shouted: "Oh, the old man is amazing, he guessed it so quickly, I admire him!"

As he said that, Xu Chu nodded and said: "It is indeed so. Two months ago, according to the information we got, the Great Qin envoy did not take Zhao Tuo to leave the border of Nanyue, but returned to Xianyang alone, and it turned out that he had just left the Hengpu Pass. Not far away, they were intercepted and killed by thieves!"

"Think about it. At that time, the relationship between Daqin and Nanyue was inherently rigid, and Zhao Tuo dared not to be called to Xianyang. He was clearly planning to confront me, Daqin. So when the envoy of Daqin died, the first thing we suspected was Zhao Tuo made a move. After we went to the scene to investigate for ourselves, we found that there was a secret army under Zhao Tuo's command, and the Lingnan Shenfeng Army's army had inadvertently left a mark!"

"Things have developed to this point, basically there is no doubt that the Great Qin envoy was intercepted and killed by Zhao Tuo's kamikaze army pretending to be bandits, so I sent someone to send a letter to His Majesty as soon as possible."

"At that time, I really didn't expect that things would change like this. It turns out that Zhao Tuo didn't turn against it. It was just because of some reasons that he had fallen into other people's schemes when he didn't know when, and he could only sneak back to Xianyang. And was killed!"

As he said that, Xu Chu sighed, as if he felt sorry for Zhao Tuo.

Faced with his pretended exclamation, Ying Shou didn't even bother to look at it, but looked at Di Renjie and said, "Old Di, what do you think about this matter?"

Di Renjie revealed a pensive expression on his face, and said, "My lord, this matter may not be as simple as it appears on the surface!"

As he said that, Di Renjie looked at Xu Chu, and said, "General Xu Chu, how did you confirm Zhao Tuo's death?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, he couldn't help but look at Ying Shou, and said, "This... this... old man... no, Your Majesty, about this matter, actually... actually I don't know Dare to be too sure!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ying Shou, Di Renjie's eyes immediately focused on him.

"uncertain?"

The two said in unison.

"Your Majesty... you... listen to me, actually... I was too anxious. When I sent you a letter two months ago, I had already confirmed that Zhao Tuo had rebelled, but after investigation, it seemed that it was not This happened, so half a month ago... I sent you another letter. Obviously, His Majesty has arrived at Hengpu Pass so soon, and has not received any letter at all, so, everything happened so unexpectedly! "

"Just now, after a rigorous investigation, my subordinates finally came back to report, saying... that they had found out the reason, but because His Majesty came suddenly, I... I haven't had time to ask, this... In this way, I Then call him over, how about His Majesty asking carefully?"

As he said that, Xu Chu lowered his head firmly, and then remembered that he had made a big mistake regarding this matter, and no matter how proud he was, he didn't even know why he died.

Immediately, Xu Chu hurriedly turned around, opened the door, and pulled in the man who had come to report that Zhao Tuo was dead.

"Quickly, tell Your Majesty how Zhao Tuo died!"

Xu Chu threw this person in front of Ying Shou and said coldly.

"Iron Eagle Swordsman Yin Shan has met His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"

When the man saw Ying Shou, he immediately knelt down and announced his name. He was one of the 400 people who were sent to South Vietnam after being trained by Ying Shou's camp to become the Great Qin Iron Eagle Swordsman. His name was Yinshan.

"Okay, Yinshan, you can just call him the son of the emperor in the future. Tell me, what's going on with this matter?"

Ying Shou waved his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"No, Young Master Di!"

Yin Shan stood up and said, "My lord, this is what happened. Two months ago, we all thought it was Zhao Tuo who intercepted and killed my Great Qin envoy, because we found something accidentally left behind by the Lingnan Kamikaze Army at the scene. , By the way, this thing, this subordinate has carried it with me till now, please look at it, Mr. Emperor!"

With that said, Yin Shan quickly took out a token and handed it to Ying Shou.

Ying Shou took the token, and saw the word "God" written on the front of the token, and on the back was a carved portrait of a gust of wind blowing leaves.

"This is the token of the Kamikaze Army?"

Ying Shou frowned.

"That's right, this kamikaze army sounds like an army, but it's actually not. It's a guard that Zhao Tuo has trained well over the years. It is said that the total number of people is less than [-]. Among them, there are so many masters, and there are countless capable people and strangers, but they were established specifically to deal with an ancient force in Baiyue!"

Yin Shan truthfully told the origin of the Kamikaze Army.

"An ancient force in Baiyue?"

A look of doubt flashed in Ying Shou's eyes, and he said puzzledly: "Although my Great Qin has not completely conquered the land of Baiyue, most of it has been reduced to my Great Qin's territory. How come I don't know what ancient forces exist?"

As soon as this remark came out, before Yinshan could speak, Di Renjie said: "The land of Baiyue is also known as the land of hundreds of clans. In Baiyue, there are many clans and powerful forces, and Nanyue is just one of them. , and began to conquer Baiyue, and most of Baiyue has basically been included in our territory by Daqin, because Daqin is unable to control it, so we have to continue to hand over the land of Baiyue to many local nobles for governance!"

"Except for South Vietnam, Minyue and Dongyue, for example, are all under the control of the local nobles, that is, the royal families of the original ethnic groups. When the emperor initially stationed 60 troops in South Vietnam, it was to prevent these people from rebelling. Use 60 troops as a deterrent!"

"Nowadays, these forces are still there, and it's not surprising that an ancient force will appear again!"

After Di Renjie finished speaking, Yin Shan hurriedly answered, "That's right, and until now, we still haven't fully investigated this ancient force. It is said that this force has covered the entire Baiyue, and once made the royal families of all tribes in Baiyue tremble with fear."

"Since Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo and others led the army to attack the Baiyue tribes, this mysterious force has appeared, especially after Tu Sui's death, Zhao Tuo took control of the army, and this force has repeatedly targeted Zhao Tuo. Even Zhao Tuo was deeply shocked by its power, so he had a headache!"

Chapter 41

"Mysterious forces, the Great Qin envoy was killed, Zhao Tuo was killed, and the token of the Kamikaze Army left behind at the scene, it seems that the water in Nanyue is deeper than imagined!"

Ying Shou frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Tuo is Nanyue's pinnacle of Dinghai. If he dies, Nanyue will be in chaos? Even the whole Baiyue riot is not impossible. Why is this land of Nanyue so calm as water?"

Without waiting for Yinshan to speak, Xu Chu hurriedly said: "So this is why we have only found out the news of Zhao Tuo's death so far. Before that, no one knew that Zhao Tuo and the Great Qin envoy went to Xianyang, including all of us. I didn't get the slightest news, and naturally no one knew the news of his death. And according to the reliable information I got, there seems to be another Zhao Tuo in Tuo City, or this person is Zhao Tuo's substitute, just because he was there, No one doubted whether Zhao Tuo left this place!"

"substitute?"

Di Renjie took over the topic and said, "How do you know that this person is Zhao Tuo's substitute? Also, regarding Zhao Tuo's death, how sure are you that it is true?"

Hearing this, Xu Chu quickly looked at Yinshan and said, "I'm asking you something, don't hesitate to say it!"

Yin Shan nodded, and said hastily: "Master Di, I don't know how to explain this matter, but I was waiting three hundred miles outside the pass, and found Zhao Tuo and his three hundred kamikazes in a mountain range. Jun’s corpse. Of course, none of us can tell whether there is Zhao Tuo’s corpse in it, but according to various evidences, Zhao Tuo’s corpse is among them!"

"Oh!"

Di Renjie's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said, "This is interesting, there are so many evidences!"

As he said that, he looked at Ying Shou and said, "Master Di, how about I go and see the old man later?"

Ying Shou smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Of course, I also want to see so many evidences, what are they proving?"

As he said that, Ying Shou narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought that the biggest problem of this trip to South Vietnam was how to solve the chaos in Baiyue. As a result, there were so many changes just after contacting him.

How deep is the water here? For a while, even Ying Shou wasn't sure.

But for him, the more difficult it is, the more interesting it is, and he would be happy to witness what earth-shattering secrets are hidden in this accident.

"Ding!"

Just when he decided to investigate the matter clearly, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind, saying: "A political case has been detected, and the system defines it as a masonry-level task. Complete the task and get 300 million emperor experience points." , plus a gold-level lottery chance. If the task fails, the host will forever lose the Di Renjie obtained by the masonry-level lottery chance! I don’t know if the host accepts the task!"

Ying Shou frowned. This system really can find mission releases anytime and anywhere, and the punishment for failure this time is a bit too much.

Di Renjie, that's the character I got with the masonry lottery chance.

Of course, although the penalty for failure is quite heavy, for the current Ying Shou, there is no possibility of not accepting the task.

The more than 1000 million emperor experience points he obtained by completing the task before had already been exchanged by him for 1000 million stone grain seeds.

Because many of these seeds are not available in Daqin today, if they are taken out at this time, it will surely increase the national power of Daqin by more than a hundred times in a short period of time, so he basically has no choice but to exchange these grain seeds.

For example, there are corn, potatoes, etc. These are seeds that were spread from all over the world during the Song and Ming dynasties, and they are too important for today's Great Qin.

Similarly, because of exchanging these seeds, all his previous points have been completely consumed. Now is the time when he most urgently needs tasks to earn emperor experience points.

Immediately, after some hesitation, Ying Shou secretly said in his heart: "Go!"

Just after finishing speaking, the system's voice sounded: "Ding, congratulations to the host for accepting the task of solving the case. The task time is three months. I hope the host will hurry up and complete the task!"

After speaking, the system seemed to be silent, without making any more sound.

"Young Master... Young Master Di..."

Ying Shou exited the system interface, only to see Di Renjie calling himself in front of him.

"how?"

Ying Shou frowned slightly.

"My lord, are you going too?"

Di Renjie frowned.

"Why, you can go at your age, but I can't? Old Di, don't forget that my world was taken back from the rebels. I have seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood. There are only hundreds of corpses. , nothing!"

Ying Shou shook his head and smiled.

"Well, since that's the case, the old man has nothing to say!"

Di Renjie smiled wryly. He knew very well that the master in front of him seemed to be openly seeking advice from others, but when he really made a decision, no matter what anyone said, it was useless.

While talking, suddenly, a voice sounded outside, saying: "Guest officer, your food is here!"

Ying Shou sat back on his seat, waved his hands, and said, "Yin Shan, you go out and guard first, Xu Chu sit down, eat first, I'll go and have a look later!"
