Chapter 1527 Secret Investigation

"Your Majesty, Zhao Qian's request is indeed excessive, even abominable, but if General Yang's progress is not smooth..." Yelu Tangzhi said to Yelu Zong.

"Hmm? Do you have any ideas?" Yelu Zong asked.

"Your Majesty, the Front Cavalry Battalion is our country's elite troops. It was established a long time ago and entered the elite sequence early." Yelu Tangzhi said: "But in recent years, I have found that General Yang seems to be a little arrogant, so that the development of the Front Cavalry Battalion has stagnated and has been gradually surpassed by other elite troops. What I am worried about is that General Yang may not be able to successfully complete the task assigned by Your Majesty this time."

If it were other ministers, they would naturally not dare to say this to Yelu Zong. After all, such a name-calling evaluation of Yang Qingyun would likely be misunderstood by Yelu Zong as jealousy or discord.

But Yelu Tangzhi is different. He is a minister that Yelu Zong trusts very much and has royal blood. It can be said that his relationship with Yelu Zong is not comparable to that of ordinary ministers. Naturally, there are some things that other ministers dare not say, or are difficult to say, but he can say.

At the beginning, Yelu Zong sent Yang Qingyun to carry out the mission of ambush Zhao Qi. Yelu Tangzhi did not know about it at the first time. By the time he knew about it, Yang Qingyun had already led the team to set off, and it was too late for him to say anything.

Now that this topic was mentioned again, he took the opportunity to remind him.

Yelu Zong frowned slightly and looked at Yelu Tangzhi and said, "Do you mean that Yang Qingyun will fail?"

"Your Majesty, this is just my guess." Yelu Tangzhi replied.

Yelu Tangzhi's words obviously answered Yelu Zong's question affirmatively.

"The front cavalry battalion has indeed stagnated in recent years." Yelu Zong said: "However, they are still the elite of our Shuiyue country. Yang Qingyun has also fought for many years and is rich in experience. In addition, he brought the main force of the front cavalry battalion, so they should not fail. The situation in Yanfeng country has been reported by spies long ago. It is good that there are troops escorting their wedding party, but the number is not large. With the strength of the front cavalry battalion, I believe that it can win."

Yelu Zong also knew about Yang Qingyun's situation. However, Yang Qingyun was a veteran after all, and the strength of the front cavalry battalion was still good. In addition, the front cavalry battalion was full of cavalry, so Yelu Zong sent Yang Qingyun to carry out this long-distance ambush mission.

"Perhaps, I am really worrying too much." Yelu Tangzhi said.

"I believe that Yang Qingyun will bring me good news." Yelu Zong said affirmatively.

Yelu Tangzhi nodded and said nothing more. Since Yelu Zong insisted so much, he was not in a position to say anything at this time. He would wait for the results of Yang Qingyun's battle to come out.

"Tangzhi, how is the investigation of the assassins going?" Yelu Zong asked about another matter that he was more concerned about.

When asked this question, Yelu Zong's face was slightly angry.

After the assassins were caught, Yelu Zong appeared to be very angry with the Yanfeng people, and even threatened to attack Yanfeng, but in fact, he secretly sent Yelu Tangzhi to investigate the matter. Obviously, he did not completely believe the words of the two assassins.

"Your Majesty, the two assassins committed suicide in prison yesterday." Yelu Tangzhi replied: "Both are dead."

"Both are dead? Suicide?" Yelu Zong asked.

"I have investigated the scene, and the two did commit suicide." Yelu Tangzhi replied.

Yelu Tangzhi could see that Yelu Zong did not believe that the two were assassinated. In fact, Yelu Tangzhi did not believe it at the time, but according to his investigation of the scene, the two assassins did commit suicide.

"Really suicide? Could it be that I think too much?" Yelu Zong said to himself.

"Your Majesty, when I was investigating the cause of death of the two assassins, I found that someone had seen them before they committed suicide." Yelu Tangzhi continued.

"Who?" Yelu Zong asked hurriedly.

"A eunuch." Yelu Tangzhi said, he looked at Yelu Zong, and continued with a complicated expression: "A eunuch from Donglin Palace."

Bang!

Yelu Zong heard what Yelu Tangzhi said, and slapped the table with his right hand, gnashing his teeth and said: "Rebellious son!"

At this time, the murderous aura emanating from Yelu Zong was even stronger than before.

"Your Majesty, the matter has not been fully investigated, and it is not appropriate to draw conclusions too early." Yelu Tangzhi advised.

"Isn't it obvious?" Yelu Zong said angrily: "That rebellious son, did he really think that he could fool everyone by acting a play? Naive!"

Yelu Tangzhi did not speak. In fact, his thoughts were similar to Yelu Zong's, but this matter was of great importance after all. Even if he had a good relationship with Yelu Zong, it was not easy to say too much about such things.

"I wish I could kill that rebellious son with my own hands!" Yelu Zongyou said unsatisfied.

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive." Yelu Tangzhi said hurriedly: "At this time, it is not appropriate for our Shuiyue country to have internal strife. It will not be too late to deal with this matter after the affairs of Yanfeng Country and Tianji Country are resolved."

Although Yelu Zong was very angry, he had not completely lost his mind. He also understood that it was indeed not appropriate for them to have internal strife at this time. Moreover, once they took action, the impact of this matter would be very great, and they must think carefully before they could act.

Seeing that Yelu Zong gradually calmed down, Yelu Tangzhi continued: "I will interrogate the eunuch carefully, but if the matter is really as we think, does Your Majesty really intend to take action?"

Yelu Zong did not answer, but his face kept changing.

Yelu Tangzhi watched the change in Yelu Zong's face and could guess the hesitation in Yelu Zong's heart.

Indeed, no matter who is on this matter, they will hesitate. Even Yelu Zong, who is decisive in killing, will be very troubled and hesitant when encountering this problem.

Yelu Tangzhi was a little worried. After all, this matter was too big. If it was not handled properly, it would very likely affect the national destiny of their Shuiyue country. However, he was worried, but he couldn't say much. In the end, Yelu Zong had to make the decision himself. What he could do was to investigate the truth of the matter.

At this time, a eunuch trotted in and handed Yelu Zong a folded note.

Yelu Tangzhi saw at a glance that the note was sent by an air messenger, but he didn't know who sent the message this time.

While Yelu Tangzhi was guessing, Yelu Zong opened the note and glanced at it. His face changed instantly, and his eyes seemed to be wide open for a while.

Seeing this, Yelu Tangzhi's heart sank and he asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Yelu Zong looked at Yelu Tangzhi with a complex expression, full of gloom:

"Yang Qingyun, failed!"
