Chapter 119 It's hard to ride a tiger, just catch it first

"Something seems to have happened over there in the big tent!"

Xun Chu had just hunted a mountain deer. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately rode back. On the way, he met Xiang Li, who had also received the news.

Looking at the pheasant in the opponent's hand, Xun Chu smiled and said, "Brother Xiang has gained a lot."

"The one who laughs last is the winner!" Xiang Li glanced at Shanlu and responded bluntly, "Let's go and see what's going on over there first."

When the two arrived, they first saw Liu Yi standing on the edge of the distinguished guests.

"Brother Liu, what happened?" Xun Chu walked over and asked, just in time to hear the emperor say "...it's all part of our Dingxiang Hou's plan", and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Xiang Li also came over and whispered: "Brother Liu, isn't it possible that Ding Xianghou met by chance?"

"That's right!" Liu Yi nodded, "I don't think Marquis Dingxiang himself knows the cause of this incident. He may have said something ambiguous before, so it was misunderstood."

Xun Chu and Xiang Li both frowned.

On the other side, the Marquis of Yongchang asked: "I don't know what the plan is for Ding Xianghou."

Liu Yi smiled and said: "I'm afraid Dingxiang Hou is unable to answer, so he can only talk about other things..."

But before he finished speaking, Li Huai had already said, "These two people are from the Black Tooth Clan."

Suddenly, Liu Yi's words were stuck in his throat.

Xun Chu and Xiang Li were stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Yi with suspicion.

Liu Yi frowned and began to think deeply.

"Something's not quite right."

the other side.

As soon as Li Huai said this, several nobles showed surprise, and Marquis Yongchang's expression changed drastically, but luckily he covered it up in time.

Only the emperor, with a genuine expression, said with a smile: "I hear what you mean, these two people have already fallen into your scheme."

"This..." Li Huai's heart was filled with confusion. He was very confused, why did these two guys come here?

When he left the house in the morning, he staged a special show just to warn them. He cooperated with Wei Shao's friend and scared them away. Why did he turn around and follow him to the hunting ground?

So dedicated? Aren’t you afraid of being discovered? No, this has already been discovered.

While he was thinking about this, several more guards rushed over and stopped the bearded man and the thin-bearded man who rushed out, and they fought again.

Some honorable nobles couldn't help but ask: "Who are the Black Teeth Clan? Can they actually have such skills?"

In order to prevent the emperor from asking about "his plan", Li Huai answered first: "It is a small tribe in the southwest border. The entire tribe only has tens of thousands of people. The leader of the tribe is considered a chieftain, and he also sent envoys to live in Chang'an."

, they have gathered in the mountains and forests for a long time to fight with wild beasts, so there are people who are good at fighting." This statement is intended to change the topic.

The emperor praised: "Thanks to Li Qing, even the small tribes in the border areas have treasures in their possessions."

Li Huai quickly answered truthfully: "I just happen to know this." If the emperor wants to test other tribes, he will be blind, so he must speak clearly.

"Humility!" The emperor's admiration grew even stronger.

What else could Li Huai say?

The Marquis of Xiangyang frowned and said: "Such a small clan dares to attack the holy driver at this time? Are they not afraid of razing the whole clan? And how can the border barbarians fight with so many guards? How did they lurk here?"

The emperor also thought for a while and said: "Li Qing can tell the origins of two people at once. It must be arranged. You must know why you are here."

I do not know anything!

Li Huai screamed in his heart, but looking at the eyes of the emperor and the nobles looking over, he knew that if he answered truthfully, his reputation and status would probably be ruined!

It’s really hard to ride a tiger!

At the critical moment, past experiences came to mind, and Li Huai smiled faintly: "The two of them harbor evil intentions and are always watching, this morning is no exception, and that's it for other times, but today I can't let them get what they want, so I sent people to drive them away.

, I didn’t expect them to be so bold and take risks..."

These words may sound simple, but in fact he has racked his brains and said them all to the truth, but they are vague and try not to involve specific responsibilities. As for how to make it up later...

"Capture these two first, ask them a few questions, and you will know..."

Ask a few questions to understand the general situation. If it doesn't work, go back, otherwise the two of them will talk nonsense and it may get worse.

"That's fine. Let's capture him and let Li Qing come and question him." As soon as the emperor spoke, the leader of the guards, Quan Jue, sent an order to gather people to arrest him.

Li Huai quickly stopped him and said: "It's just two stupid thieves. How many manpower are needed? Commander, it's better not to kill the chicken with the knives..."

As soon as his words fell, the two lively people on the other side suddenly shriveled up and fell to the ground. The guards swarmed up and captured them.

Suddenly, both the emperor and the nobles looked at Li Huai with a different look.

Not to mention them, even Li Huai himself doubted whether this was something he had agreed with him in advance.

However, after the two men were escorted over and placed in front of Li Huai, looking at the bulging veins and strange tattoos on their bodies, Li Huai finally remembered another setting of the Black Tooth Clan.

"I've heard that the Black Teeth Clan are good at witchcraft and Gu. The fact that you two were so brave just now must have a lot to do with this. Now I'm afraid it's been backlashed, so I'm exhausted." Li Huai's tone left no room for doubt.

Thinking that regardless of whether the other party admits it or not, they will be directly labeled. Is there anyone who will defend them?

Unexpectedly, when these words were spoken, the expressions of the nobles who gathered around changed rapidly, and they all took a few steps back. Even the guards escorting the two men swayed and turned pale.

The emperor's expression changed slightly and he winked at the yellow flag beside him.

Huang Qi understood and said: "The interrogation will be presided over by the princes. Your Majesty, as the emperor, cannot be involved in the punishment area. It is better to go inside and wait for news."

"That's fine." The emperor nodded and said to Li Huai, "Leave it to Li Qing. I'm waiting for your news. By the way, I'll send someone to the Lifan Academy to ask about the Black Tooth Clan." After saying this, he turned around.

Returned to the camp.

Seeing this scene, Li Huai realized that the theory of witchcraft had such a great influence on ordinary people.

Should I pay attention too?

Just as he was thinking about it, the tied up bearded man struggled up, said "poof" at Li Huai, and spat with all his strength!

The vigilant Li Huai quickly retreated, and others also gave way. Except for the guards who were limited by their duties, they all took a big step back!

After the bearded man finished vomiting, he immediately yelled and cursed: "The thieves from China are using all kinds of tricks to set up traps and cast such a big net to plot against us. We will die badly!" There was a slight accent in his words, which made it even more profound.

The accuracy of Li Huai's description.

Li Huai was confused for a while after hearing this, and saw that everyone looked at him with a little scrutiny and caution, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

How can this person talk? I just took the opportunity to send a few people to scare you, but that’s it?
