Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 169
"Follow the order!" Many guards agreed and took action immediately.

Wang Xiaojie stood at the door of the post house, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, staring at the guards, thinking to himself that he could not let these bandits continue to be active, lest they ruin his own affairs.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as the leader of the bandits is captured, the remaining gangsters will not be able to make waves at all and will naturally be defeated.

"Hmm..." Wang Xiaojie was thinking in his mind, suddenly frowned, and raised his hand to stop the busy guard.

At this time, a guard hurried over and reported: "Sir, the person you are looking for has been found. We have kidnapped them and kept them in the next room."

"Very good." Wang Xiaojie said happily: "Take me to see..."

Everyone followed Wang Xiaojie and moved to the next room.

When he opened the door, he saw several boxes and cages placed in the room, and two men were tied up on tables, chairs and benches, looking frightened and uneasy.

These two people were dressed in ordinary clothes and had dark and rough skin. They looked ordinary, but they exuded a strong aura.

Wang Xiaojie turned slightly sideways, pointed at the two of them and said, "Wake them up."

Several guards agreed and immediately pounced on them, shaking the two of them vigorously, but they were fast asleep and did not move at all.

Wang Xiaojie twitched his eyebrows and said displeasedly: "These two guys dare to resist official duties. Come on, beat me hard, hard."

"Sir, forgive me!"

The two finally woke up, startled, struggling in panic and pleading.

The guards were unmoved, punching and kicking, making a loud crackling noise.

"Ouch..." The two of them screamed and moaned, their noses bruised and their faces swollen.

After a while, Wang Xiaojie said calmly: "Stop fighting, have you asked?"

"Sir, they have tough mouths and refuse to say anything." A guard reported: "I suspect they may be spies sent by the barbarians."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaojie's face became gloomy and scary.

In fact, this is not his fault. After all, any general will do this if he finds out that there is a spy from a hostile country in his team.

"Hu spies?" An older man sneered: "According to me, if you want to waste anything, just give it to them."

There is some truth in what he said, and Wang Xiaojie nodded silently.

"Sir, do you want to..."

Wang Xiaojie stretched out his hand to stop him, waved his hand gently, and said in a low voice: "You can't act rashly. There is no definite evidence yet. If you act rashly, you may alert the enemy."

"Then what should we do?" The guard next to him said worriedly: "We can't just sit back and watch, right?"

"Don't worry, I have my own opinion." Wang Xiaojie showed a confident look and walked out of the post house slowly.

This time, his goal was the royal tent in the center of the city.

In fact, this place is called a city, but at best it is just a fence built with a few bricks, which is barely a shelter.

With the credentials of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiaojie successfully met Dongfang Tianya, the great khan of Donghu.

"Han?" After seeing Wang Xiaojie's attire, Dongfang Tianya was slightly stunned, and then said enthusiastically: "Please come in and talk."

"Thank you Khan." Wang Xiaojie slightly cupped his hands and followed Dongfang Tianya into the king's tent, where the guests and hosts took their seats.Dongfang Tianya looked at it for a few times and said slightly surprised: "Who are you? We don't know each other, why do we take the liberty to visit."

Wang Xiaojie was silent for a while, then slowly said: "The Great Khan of Donghu must know my name."

"You are Wang Xiaojie, I have heard of it." Dongfang Tianya smiled slightly and said, "I don't know, what do you want from me?"

"Khan really loves to joke." Wang Xiaojie sighed: "This time I come, I bring the credentials of the Tang Dynasty. Khan might as well read it before talking."

Dongfang Tianya frowned slightly and signaled a maid to get the scroll and read it carefully. After a while, he couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "General Wang is really quick to talk and doesn't beat around the bush. In this case, I'll explain it clearly. This This matter has nothing to do with me, so don’t worry that I will be involved.”

"It really has nothing to do with you?" Wang Xiaojie asked curiously.

"It's absolutely true." Dongfang Tianya swore and said calmly: "We Han people have an old saying, which is that every injustice has its owner. These two guys have nothing to do with me. You can interrogate them however you want."

"So, can you guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Wang Xiaojie asked.

"Of course, I, Donghu, have always been upright and have never done anything treacherous." Dongfang Tianya said solemnly: "If you have any doubts, you can send people to search our Donghu tribes. If my tribe or subordinates are involved in this matter, they will definitely Admit it, and not only that, but also willing to cooperate with the investigation.”

Wang Xiaojie stared at the Eastern Sky Cliff for a moment, nodded and said, "I hope Khan can keep his word."

"Although I, Donghu, are young, I will not betray the covenant." Dongfang Tianya expressed his position: "I will ask the children of the clan to cooperate with the actions of the adults. The mastermind behind the scenes must be captured and brought to justice. I will never tolerate adultery and punish it severely."

"That's good." Wang Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Okay, please step back."

"Here." Everyone agreed in unison and left one after another.

"What's your name?" Wang Xiaojie asked after the guards left.

"Tian Qing." The young guard replied.

Wang Xiaojie nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "It doesn't matter what your name is. The key is that you must understand that we are in Donghu now and don't be too ostentatious."

Wang Xiaojie didn't explain it too thoroughly, but everyone could hear the meaning.

"I understand the humble position." The young guard nodded solemnly and said, "In the humble position, you must fulfill your duties loyally, serve the general, and die with dedication."

"Okay!" Wang Xiaojie nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal the young guard to leave.

After Wang Xiaojie left, a soldier came over and whispered: "General, this is strange. Donghu has always been at odds with our Tang Dynasty, but now he is so easy to talk to."

"Of course I know, but unfortunately there is no conclusive evidence, and it is difficult for me to deal with it..." Wang Xiaojie shook his head bitterly, then breathed softly and said, "But it doesn't matter, I believe that Dongfang Tianya is a smart man and will not do anything like this." Something irrational comes out.”

"But..." Another guard hesitated and said: "We are alone now. If Dongfang Tianya secretly colludes with Xixia or Tubo, wouldn't we be in danger?"

"No." Wang Xiaojie flatly denied it and said in a deep voice: "Dongfang Tianya is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart. He should know better than anyone. Now our Tang Dynasty is at war with the Western Turks and Goguryeo. If there is another dispute, what will happen to him?" Nothing good comes of it.”

"But..." Another guard was still worried and hesitated: "But, what if this matter is really instigated by Dongfang Tianya..."

"No." Wang Xiaojie said decisively: "Dongfang Tianya doesn't seem to be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not get burned for personal revenge. Therefore, there must be something hidden in this matter."

"That's best." The guard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our manpower is ready. We just need to pass the news back home. I believe reinforcements will rush to the front line soon. By then, we will be able to defeat the Turkic barbarians in one fell swoop."

Wang Xiaojie took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "You guys need to rest first and be on standby at any time."

"General, I will obey your orders." The guards clasped their fists in unison.
