The moment she saw Si Nan, Xiao Buyi suddenly realized that they had been parting for nearly a year.

When the autumn wind was rustling last year, Si Nan resolutely headed south. Unexpectedly, when the autumn wind was bleak this year, Si Nan inexplicably turned back to his camp.

Xiao Buyi knew many women, but Si Nan was undoubtedly very special. He didn't expect to see Si Nan at this time.

Si Nan never had any malice to him, which was very similar to Pei Mingcui. However, Pei Mingcui had nothing to ask for and was alone to explore the truth. Until now, Si Nan had a request that she had not said, but she still had not said it.

When the fierce battle of Li Mi, Si Nan left resolutely, and there was no news. A year later, Xiao Buyi had defeated Li Mi and fought in Shandong. Si Nan suddenly turned around. What is her purpose?

Xiao Buyi thought about it before and after, and for a moment he was stunned and said nothing more. Si Nan's eyes were clear and she said lightly: "Don't you want to see me?"

Xiao Buyi woke up and laughed and said, "How could it be? I'm just afraid of seeing your letter!"

Si Nan's eyes shining. I remember telling Xiao Buyi that the task was arduous and she didn't know life or death. Xiao Buyi was concerned about her safety at the beginning, but she did not stop her. Xiao Buyi was undoubtedly a man who respected others' choices, but Xiao Buyi asked how to contact him and what the request was. Si Nan felt that life and death were uncertain, so she said that if she died, there would be a letter to convey it.

Xiao Buyi mentioned this matter again, and for a moment, the past is like smoke, vivid in my mind. After thinking about it, Si Nan was indifferent to everything and did not care about life and death, and she couldn't help but become obsessed with it...

The two looked at each other, silently, and Lu Laosan coughed, breaking the silence and said, "The King of Xiliang... Actually..."

Xiao Buyi woke up and said in surprise: "How did you meet?"

"It's time to pass." Lu Laosan said simply and clearly.

Xiao Buyi was even more strange. "Sinan... why are you..." Seeing that Sinan was still cold as usual, Xiao Buyi's eyes turned and she laughed. "Come on... everyone can tell me."

He broke his head and couldn't figure out where Sinan had gone this year. He didn't know why she wanted to break it. But he understood one thing. No one could stop Sinan's things that she wanted to say. If she didn't want to say, she couldn't even pry her mouth with a knife.

So he regained his calmness. He just wanted to be an audience member. He looked at Si Nan. Xiao Buyi thought to himself. I wonder if it was Si Nan who assassinated Yang Guangdi in Yangzhou?

Although there are all kinds of strange versions about Yang Guang's death, Xiao Buyi got the most accurate one. And he knew that the woman who assassinated Yang Guang at that time was probably Si Nan.

But of course he was still not completely sure.

Because no one knows this woman who came without a trace. Just based on his news, he already knows what kind of face it was under the black scarf...

Beautiful and beautiful? Xiao Buyi thought of this. He smiled on his face, and for some reason, he always felt a little regretful. Si Nan covered her face. Is it because he knew that being as beautiful as a flower in the troubled times is definitely not a good thing?

Zhang Zhenzhou took Xiao Buyi to the camp and had already retreated. He had always been such a person. He was not curious and fulfilled his duties. All he needed to do was follow Xiao Buyi's orders and then march and fight. This way he might have less fun. But he could live longer.

When only Xiao, Lu and Sinan were left in the felt tent, Xiao Buyi asked softly, "Bat and others... are you okay?" He suspected Xue Ju's death, so he sent Lu Laosan, Bat and others to go there. At this time, he only saw Lu Laosan, and he was inevitably worried.

Lu Laosan smiled and said, "Thank you, King Xiliang, and they are all good. Now in Dongdu, because I am afraid of delaying things, I voluntarily volunteered to find King Xiliang. She... also wants to follow. So we came together."

Xiao Buyi nodded and stepped onto the topic: "How is it?"

Lu Laosan said: "After Mr. Yuan's arrangement, we brothers disguised themselves from Tongguan. We had nothing to do all the way, and after a short stay in Xijing, we quietly went to Zhecheng. At that time... Xue Ju had been buried long ago, but Xue Renguo was not dead yet."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "I guess the situation in the war was very nervous at that time, right?"

Lu Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's not too nervous. Xue Ju died, Xue Renguo was violent and lustful. Unpopular. The Xue family soldiers were in a hurry. The Xue family and the Tang army were in a high battle, and there were often generals of the Xue family army. One person or his subordinates secretly surrendered to the Tang army in the dark night. In order to surrender, the Tang army would not easily kill the Xue family army. In fact, at that time... it was not like a big battle, but a business... everyone had to find a good home for themselves. I never thought that after Xue Ju's death, the morale of the Longyou Iron Cavalry was so disintegrated."

Xiao Buyi sighed and said, "How can you not defeat this kind of battle? Xue Renguo really disappoints me. But the road is already done, and it is useless to think too much. Can you find out how Xue Ju died?"

He has always been confused about this matter, and even has great concern. When he asked questions, he was very concerned.

Si Nan whispered: "It should be a bad death."

"Why?" Xiao Buyi frowned.

Si Nan turned his head and said nothing. Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, regretting asking more questions. Lu Lao San seemed to have been used to Si Nan's indifference and frowned: "To be honest, everything we have now is just speculation. I can only say what I heard and know. After we arrived in Zhecheng, the Xue family army had no fighting spirit, but Xue Renguo still slaughtered those who were dissatisfied with him and valued his confidants. Xue Ju's death was very sudden. There were two legends at that time, one was that Xue Ju was killed by Xue Renguo... Because Xue Renguo was always scolded by his father, he was dissatisfied and wanted to monopolize the power."

Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, "This... I haven't thought about the second possibility?"

"The second cause of death is that Xue Ju was plagued by a ghost, so he died. In the battle of Akushuwan, Xue Ju attacked and killed five or six out of ten Tang troops. It is said that Akushuyuan is now countless unjust souls, and the underworld is in trouble!"

Lu Laosan said solemnly, but Xiao Buyi laughed, "It's nonsense. I defeated Li Mi's millions of troops and killed countless people in my life. I have never seen any ghost seeking life."

Lu Laosan had a strange look on his face, "Of course we didn't believe it, so we secretly investigated and secretly in Zhecheng, but found something strange. Xue Ju had always had dozens of personal guards around him. They were all very skilled in martial arts. Xue Ju himself was also fierce and good at shooting, and was extremely brave. But after Xue Ju's death, his dozens of personal guards were missing!"

"This place is indeed a bit strange." Xiao Buyi nodded and asked, "Of course you want to check where these personal guards went?"

Lu Laosan showed admiration, "The King of Xiliang was right as soon as he guessed. At the beginning, Zhecheng was talking a lot, and the bat boss was about to start from this point. Unexpectedly, after checking for a long time, those people disappeared out of thin air. At this time, Xue Renguo's killing was over and overestimated and had consolidated his power. Of course, this kind of consolidation was his own opinion. In fact, more than half of the Xue family army had the idea of ​​betrayal. Xue Renguo was extremely stupid and did not immediately turn back to Longyou to appease the morale of the army. If he was in a corner, he could have been able to last for a while. However, he overestimated his ability to lead his troops to Qianshuiyuan to ask for the shame of being defeated by Li Shimin. We did not follow us, but quietly inquired in the Xue Mansion. We knew that there was a general manager surnamed An, who was very trusted by Xue Renguo, so he immediately found an opportunity to catch him. Although General Manager An was domineering in front of others, he met us, of course there was no good fruit."

He smiled slightly, and Xiao Buyi also remembered the plan to deal with Zhai Hong. But when Lu Lao San's face turned dark, he knew that he remembered the second child and asked, "What do you say, Manager An?"

"Mr. An said. The dozens of personal guards died of illness. They all said that these strange diseases in the personal guards were also caused by evil spirits, and they were afraid of being transmitted to others, so dozens of people were burned to death by fire, which made people unable to find their whereabouts."

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "One or two are understandable. Dozens of them get sick together, how is that possible?"

Lu Laosan nodded and said, "But this is what General Manager An knows, but we still know some unexpected news. It turns out that he had seen a few people a few days ago when Xue Ju died."

Xiao Buyi was excited. "Who are they?"

"One is a monk named Falin." Lu Laosan said.

Xiao Buyi felt a stern in his heart, "Falin? Why did he go and get a pass?"

"The King of Xiliang knows this monk?" Lu Laosan had some differences.

Xiao Buyi said slowly: "This person... is actually between monks and Taoists. I saw this person outside Daming Temple in Yangzhou, but later this person followed Daoxin to Dongdu. Later, I didn't know where he went."

Lu Laosan said, not caring too much, "At the beginning, Xue Ju seemed to have a headache, and then Falin asked to see Xue Ju. He said it was the injustice of the Tang army. He asked to do a ritual to save the dead souls. Xue Ju was half-believing and half-doubted, and Hao Ai, the first counselor under Xue Ju, denounced this as nonsense. Therefore, Xue Ju did not follow Falin's advice after all, and later the monk didn't know where he went."

Xiao Buyi was suspicious in his heart and said in a deep voice: "What happened to you later? By the way, have you seen this Hao Ai?"

"After Xue Ju's death, Hao Ai died on the third day. Others said that he died of excessive sorrow due to Xue Ju's death."

Xiao Buyi murmured: "Xue Judi's personal guard died, and the first counselor Hao Ai died soon. I don't think it's too sad..."

"What does the King of Xiliang think?" Lu Laosan asked.

"Maybe... some people wanted to hide the truth about Xue Ju's death, and then they wiped out the people around him." Xiao Buyi made a judgment.

Lu Laosan's face suddenly turned pale. Xiao Buyi saw it at first sight and asked in surprise, "Lao San, what's wrong with you? I feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Laosan shook his head, "It's nothing. The bat boss also made the same judgment at the beginning, so we think Xue Ju's death... is really a big problem!" He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The night before Xue Ju died, he saw Mo Hedubi first..."

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "That was Shibi Khan's younger brother, and he was both brothers. He had always commanded the Wuyuan land and had a strong power in the grassland. When Xue Ju saw him, was he seeking support from the Turkic people again? But Xue Ju was so energetic that he could meet the Turkic envoys, so why would he die that night?" Lu Lao San said helplessly: "No one knows the specific truth, but according to General Manager An, after Xue Ju saw Mo Hedubi that night, he would see his son Xue Renguo. When Xue Renguo arrived, he took Butler An with him. Butler An said, when Mo Hedubi came out, Xue Ju saw him and they were still smiling. Mo Hedubi took two subordinates and greeted Xue Renguo. Later, Xue Renguo and Xue Ju went to the inner hall, and Butler An was guarding the door. Unexpectedly... When Xue Renguo came out again, he looked a little panicked and said that Xue Ju was dead after illness."

Xiao Buyi was over, "Die?"

Although he knew that Xue Ju would die, he didn't expect that the death would be so pleasant. Lu Lao San's eyes showed a shocking feeling, "Mr. An said that when he was outside the mansion, he vaguely heard a roar like a cow, as if it was the sound of Xue Ju. Later, he followed Xue Renguo in and found that Xue Ju... bleeding from his seven orifices, and the blood was purple. At that time, dozens of personal guards were also the same symptoms..."

Xiao Buyi felt chill in his heart, "They... were poisoned? Is it the poison that Mo Heduobi? This man has always been greedy for money and has no possibility of killing him... Besides, his status is not low, how could he easily poison Xue Ju?"

He frowned, always feeling some problems, and Lu Lao San sighed. "General Manager An said that although Xue Renguo was afraid of Xue Ju's death, he was not sad. Then he asked General Manager An to deal with the funeral. He burned all the bodies in the ground with a torch, and said to the outside world that Xue Ju died of illness. General Manager An's sister married Xue Renguo, which was very favored by Xue Renguo, so Xue Renguo did not attack General Manager An. However, Hao Ai questioned Xue Ju's illness and heard that he had talked with Xue Renguo, but died on the third day. Everyone said... Xue Renguo killed his father and did not want others to know, so he killed Hao Ai. Therefore, the soldiers of the Xue family were panic. Everyone was unwilling to fight, which led to the great defeat of Asuwara, Xue Renguo betrayed his relatives and was captured by people, and then killed by Li Shimin."

Xiao Buyi murmured, "What a good means."

Lu Laosan said: "Although we don't know who killed Xue Ju and what the cause of death is, one thing is certain, that is, Xue Ju... is definitely an abnormal death!"

Xiao Buyi sighed and said, "I understand. If we have the chance, we will ask Mo Hedubi and Falin for the truth. By the way, have you brought General Manager An back?"

His question was reasonable, because he knew that Lu Laosan was doing things safely. Since Manager An knew so many things, Lu Laosan and the others would certainly find a way to bring this person back and ask him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Laosan had a pale face and said, "We do want to bring him back, but we didn't expect that when we went to find him again, he was already dead at home, silent."

Xiao Buyi clenched his fists, "Someone should have been paying attention to you."

Lu Laosan sighed: "The King of Xiliang is indeed very alert. We found out that General An had broken his fingers before his death. He was broken by someone... The bat boss immediately said that this person had very high martial arts skills, and we were not opponents. We should leave immediately. We were about to leave Zhecheng. Fortunately, Xue Renguo died at that time, and Zhecheng was in chaos. In order to prevent the Xue family army from jumping over the wall, the Tang army announced that they would only kill the evil ones. Therefore, we could successfully get out of Zhecheng. But if that person secretly monitored us, for some reason, he did not attack the city..."

"What's so strange about this?" Si Nan said suddenly.

Lu Laosan said in surprise: "What does the girl know?"

Si Nan said: "Of course the King of Xiliang understands." After she finished speaking, she said nothing and was as indifferent as ever.

Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment and realized, "It's not that he doesn't want to kill you on the spot, but he just wants to see how many of you are, and wants to trigger your panic and escape, and catch you all in one place!"

He actually always had a question, that is, what role Si Nan plays here, but Si Nan doesn't say it, he can only listen.

Lu Laosan slapped his thigh, "The King of Xiliang is right! It's a pity... The King of Xiliang is busy with the battle and has no time to go to the place, otherwise he might be able to capture the man alive."

Si Nan snorted coldly, and finally stopped what she wanted to say.

Lu Laosan smiled and said, "Of course this girl is here, but she can actually catch that person, but unfortunately... she failed."

Si Nan said after a while: "You look up to me, I am not as good as him. You can survive... It's luck!"

When Lu Laosan saw Xiao Buyi, he explained: "When we saw General An die, we felt that we were in a great crisis. After escaping from Zhecheng, we walked along the water toward peace."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "This is a good trick. I think anyone would think you would go east and turn to Luoyang, but he didn't expect you to go west the opposite way."

Lu Laosan shook his head and said, "This is the idea that the bat boss came up with temporarily. He just wanted to have an ambush, and he should be in the area of ​​the Tang army... To be honest, we later learned that Li Yuan praised the Turks and bowed to Mo Hedubi, and he felt that Xue Ju's death should be related to Li Yuan. We did not expect that Li Yuan would be so despicable and actually used the method of conspiracy in the last battle..."

"The two armies fight, attack their hearts, and plan, and finally attack the troops." Xiao Buyi said lightly: "If one soldier and one soldier defeat the enemy's troops, it can be regarded as the most clever method. It cannot be despicable. If you must wait until you have to lose your troops and generals to decide the outcome, it is not what the commander wants."

Lu Laosan sighed, "What the King of Xiliang said is, when Xue Ju died, the Xue family army defeated him without attacking him. Li Yuan was really smart. But he was smart, so we were miserable. We walked all the way west, thinking it was unexpected, but we didn't expect that after traveling dozens of miles, we suddenly encountered bandits robbed in front of a deserted mountain. We thought they were ordinary bandits, but we didn't expect a master to hide in it. He suddenly attacked and almost killed the fourth brother with one palm. Then the fifth brother was seriously injured..."

Xiao Buyi was frightened. "Then why are you back alive?" Suddenly, Xiao Buyi said suddenly: "It turned out that you were secretly helping him?" Si Nan said without saying a word, but Lu Lao San said gratefully: "It was this girl who helped him to help him..." Xiao Buyi knew that the woman who was eating was called Si Nan. But this was obviously the name of the two, and Lu Lao San was used to calling her girls.

"We all thought we would die, but we didn't expect that this girl suddenly came out and stabbed the master in the palm of his hand with a sword... The man retreated in panic, but the remaining bandits were no longer afraid. This girl saved our four lives with one sword. She is a great kindness and virtue, and will never be forgotten."

Speaking of this, Lu Laosan stood up to show his salute, but Si Nan was still indifferent. Lu Laosan didn't care and sat down and said, "King of Xiliang, this is the result of our brothers' journey westward. It can be said that they didn't find out anything. They had no clue about who that master was. Because Lao Wu said later that the man had a dull face and must have disguised himself and didn't want people to see his true face." Lu Laosan said this and suddenly gave Xiao Buyi a wink, implicitly meaning.

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, his eyes fell on Si Nandi, and he nodded slowly.

Lu Laosan looked happy and knew that Xiao Buyi had understood what he meant. He yawned and said, "King of Xiliang, I am tired too. Please leave and sleep well for a few days."

Xiao Buyi thanked and said, "Third brother, you have really worked hard these days. By the way... The fourth brother, the fifth brother is fine, right?"

"They have no worries about their lives. But they have to keep them for a few days, and the bats are watching over them in Dongdu."

Xiao Buyi nodded and patted Lu Laosan on the shoulder, "Get a good rest, I'll deal with the rest." Lu Laosan got up and left, but turned his head to look at Si Nan, and saw Xiao Buyi's clear eyes, so he left. Xiao Buyi sat down. Si Nan didn't move, didn't want to speak, and didn't seem to be distracted.
To be continued...
