Chen Xingyao, who was lying on the ground, was quickly helped up by soldiers. He looked at Jia Si who was still studying the small hand crossbow on his wrist, and also looked at the wound on Chen Qiong's forehead with great interest, preparing to recover the crossbow arrow.

His voice was full of fear and anger: "Just a little bit, I will die by his knife!"

Jiasi said casually: "Didn't I save you in time?" He saw that Chen Xingyao was like an angry rabbit, holding his garlic mouth and wanting to bite someone.

Jiasi said with relief again: "Don't worry, I am sure that I will not let you die here. We are here this time to save you on the order of the princess!"

Chen Xingyao's expression improved, and there was a trace of joy in his eyes. He asked in disbelief: "Princess, did you ask you to save me?"

Jia Si nodded affirmatively and said with added embarrassment: "Look, I brought so many elites (actually they are all recruits) and precious gunpowder weapons to save you without any plan."

"We in Youzhou are very concerned about the safety of the imperial envoys!"

Chen Xingyao didn't listen carefully to what he said. He seemed to have forgotten how badly he was tortured by Chen Qiong. He repeated, "The princess sent someone to save me..."

Jia Si raised his eyebrows when he saw it. In fact, Mr. Pang had already sent the book to Chang'an. He told your father in advance that if you really died and died in the hands of Chen Qiong, it would have nothing to do with Youzhou.

But the fact that you are alive is a witness, proving that we in Youzhou captured Jeju and destroyed the Chen family in Jeju solely to save you, the imperial envoy!

Jia Si had no intention of telling Chen Xingyao the truth. His life was not important to the princess at all.

Just let him think that he is very important, so that he can play a greater role in the princess's next plan.

At least the imperial envoys who are still in Jinzhou can push him out if they come to question the actions of the Youzhou Army...

Soon, Jiasi no longer paid attention to Chen Xingyao, who seemed to be stunned by the cold. Instead, he led his subordinates to search Chen's manor, especially the tunnels and dark rooms, hoping to find evidence that Chen Qiong had colluded with the Tatars.

After searching for more than an hour, I finally found the entrance to the secret passage in the rockery and stone forest in the back garden.

Previously, A4 focused on the study and bedroom, but he didn't expect Chen Qiong to be so cunning as to put the entrance to the secret passage in the garden, which is not eye-catching at all.

When he led people in, the first thing he saw was a secret passage that could accommodate two people walking side by side. It was built quite wide. This was the first thought that flashed in Jia Si's mind.

But when he saw the wheelbarrow ruts on the ground, he realized that Chen Qiong was using this secret passage to secretly stockpile supplies.

When he walked to a room with several bookcases, he found a large number of secret messages inside. Some were communicating with Chang'an, some were communicating with the Tatars, and some were arranging for small nobles in the north to do things for him.

But when I saw a map of the northern border, especially around Youzhou City, I used a thin red pen to draw more than a dozen routes.

Other soldiers were still wondering: "What does this mean? There are no roads in these places!"

However, Jia Si broke out in a cold sweat instantly. The princess was arranging for people to investigate the route where the Tatars might attack Youzhou. The secret path given by Chen Qiong...

The princess estimated three or five, but on this map, there are thirteen!

Before Jiasi hurriedly sent someone to report to Youzhou, he heard his subordinates say anxiously: "General, there is something going on in the darkroom ahead."

Jia Si hurriedly went over to take a look and saw an underground room that could accommodate dozens of people. It was dirty and smelly. Various food residues and floor coverings all showed that people had lived here.

Judging from the few clues left behind, the people who lived here were not Han people, but Tatars.

At the same time, he saw a pipe made of bamboo tubes. He listened carefully and heard the voices of Youzhou soldiers admonishing the prisoners clearly coming from outside.

This place is where he killed Chen Qiong just now.

In other words, when he killed Chen Qiong, the people hiding here had not left yet. He hurriedly escaped after hearing that Chen Qiong was dead.

No wonder Chen Qiong always wanted to escape to the secret passage. As long as he escaped here and was protected by the Tatars, and our army was not familiar with the terrain, Chen Qiong would definitely escape.

At this time, Jia Si regretted killing Chen Qiong with one arrow. He should have been captured alive and interrogated to find out the detailed information about his Tatar collusion.

Even if Chen Xingyao could not be saved because of this...

He no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order to send the secret letter and the map back to Youzhou to the princess as quickly as possible.

He also arranged for a group of soldiers to bring enough gunpowder to track down the Tatars along the tunnel. Regardless of whether the Tatars are leading the way for the Tatars outside the country, or they are fleeing from Jeju to northern Xinjiang.

On such a cold winter day, they will cause the death of many ordinary people along the way.

In their eyes, the lives of the Han people are worthless and not as important as the lambs they raise.

The lives of the people of Jeju are also lives, just as important as the lives of the people of Youzhou. Jiasi must not allow these people to escape from their hands or allow them to kill innocent people in Daxia's territory.

At the same time, they ordered people to interrogate the Chen family in the manor, including the slaves. It is impossible for Chen Qiong to have personally experienced everything. There must be other insiders.

The interrogation can bring out some clues.

He returned to the ground and asked Chen Xingyao, should he go to Youzhou or stay in Jeju?

He didn't say that there might be an imminent war in Youzhou, it just depends on Chen Xingyao's own choice.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xingyao dragged his seriously injured body and replied without hesitation: "I want to go to Youzhou."

Then he asked tentatively: "Has the princess made it clear? Will I be allowed to enter Youzhou?"

Jia Si nodded: "You are allowed to come in, but other officials are not allowed to come in."

Chen Xingyao nodded repeatedly without saying anything: "Then let's go!"

Jia Si arranged for someone to send Chen Xingyao away, and he himself had to ensure that all the escaped Tatar teams were found and killed before going back.

When Shen Dongsu and Mr. Pang received the secret message from Jeju, they both breathed a long sigh of relief.

No matter what plans Chen Qiong and the Tatars have, once Chen Qiong dies, the Tatars will have no internal agents, and our army will have no internal agents, and things will always get better.

Mr. Pang asked Shen Dongsu how he planned to manage Jeju? Was it handed over to officials of the imperial court, or was it secretly supporting a small gentry to swallow up the power of the Chen family?

Shen Dongsu pondered for a moment and then shook his head. He took out the code with the words 'Youzhou Law' and handed it to Mr. Pang: "I want Jeju to implement this law from now on!"

Mr. Pang took a breath: "The court will not agree, and neither will the nobles of Jeju."

Shen Dongsu sneered: "Who asked for their opinion? If they agree, they will be protected by our Youzhou Army; if they don't agree, Chen Qiong will be their role model."

"Send troops directly to station, and the entire Jeju will become part of our Youzhou."

Mr. Pang thought about it and said: "Should it be implemented immediately? Or wait until the Tatar incident is over?"

Shen Dongsu said without hesitation: "Immediately execute it! It's easier to do it sooner rather than later. In order to prevent the Tatars, the official road to the south of Jeju was blocked."

"A nationwide search will be carried out. If anyone is found colluding with the Tatars or supporting private soldiers, their homes will be confiscated."

"The fields were confiscated and distributed to the people, or the fields were hoarded for the army."

"Humph, this New Year, I, the princess, will make the north a new sky!"

The prince is too indulgent to them. Petty fights cannot cure these nobles who have been rooted for thousands of years. Only drastic measures can be taken, and only she, the unreasonable peasant queen, can cure them.
