The night was getting deeper, and the square of the VIP hotel became much quieter. Most of the guests were already asleep, and only some of the newly arrived businessmen were busy arranging rooms.

Zhong Kui has investigated clearly from the Hu people's manager that the Han caravan from Chang'an booked a total of seven rooms, including three rooms on the second floor and four rooms on the third floor.

Judging from the lights on at night, the rooms on the second floor are empty and everyone lives on the third floor.

Their thirty warriors are more than enough to deal with the seven people living in the VIP hotel. The key is to take them all, and no one can escape.

Li Xiu asked Gongsun Xiaomei to find Zi Linfeng back.

Pei Min led eighteen people into the window, and Zi Linfeng led twelve people to guard the door.

Ropes were thrown down from the roof, and the warriors climbed the rope and slowly went down.

It was cooler in the night in Gaochang, and the wooden windows were closed. Pei Min took the lead in finding Miao Changchun's room and cut off the window ties with a sharp dagger.

"Cruff!" The window opened and Pei Min rolled into the house.

There was a tent on the bed, and I heard the breathing of two people vaguely, one man and one woman. Looking through the moonlight, I saw a middle-aged man sleeping sweetly with a beard in his arms.

The middle-aged man was Mr. Miao who I saw before, with a beautiful beard of one foot long, which is very distinctive.

Pei Min winked at the two subordinates. Before the two of them woke up on the bed, the two subordinates took action together and waved the baton to knock them out.

...........

Miao Changchun was tied up by a warrior and blocked his mouth and took it away. He had already woken up and knew that the plan had been exposed. He felt extremely hatred in his heart. Those idiots dressed up too eye-catching and eventually killed himself.

At this time, the warriors fought together and rushed into the other three rooms. Six warriors were killed on the spot, and the other three were knocked down and tied up.

"Take it down for separate interrogation"

Li Xiu said to the Samurai Ling: "Be sure to ask where the other six people hide!"

.............

Miao Changchun sat on Hu's chair, the ropes on his hands and feet were untied, and the gag was also removed. He gasped and stared at Li Xiu in front of him with cold eyes.

Li Xiu asked, "Your name is Miao Changchun, and you are Yuan Biao's chief aide?"

Miao Changchun ignored it and turned his eyes to the roof.

Li Xiu said lightly again: "I know that Xie Jizong was stabbed by my subordinates with a sword. He should be your companion!"

"Hmph!" Miao Changchun snorted.

"It seems that you really don't want to live anymore. Since that's the case, I can only help you!"

"Wait a minute!"

Miao Changchun was already desperate and thought he would die. Suddenly, he found that he had a chance to survive.

"Your Highness didn't plan to kill me?"

"If you want to live and die, you can choose your own choice. If you cooperate with me, I can spare your life. If you must be buried with the Yuan family, then I can only help you!"

"Your Highness is indeed here to deal with Yuan Tao!"

"What do you think?"

"This is Beiting. Do you think you can deal with Yuan Tao?"

Li Xiu sneered, "Do you think the soldiers of Beiting are willing to betray the imperial court? Do you think other generals don't want to be the governor of Beiting? Do you still think that Yuan Tao can cover the sky with one hand in Beiting?"

Miao Changchun shook his head, "Yuan Tao has only been in Beiting for two years, and he has only been serving as the governor for half a year. If he can completely control Beiting, we don't need to come to Gaochang, but what power does Your Highness have?"

Li Xiu took out the emperor's gold medal, "Is this enough?"

The emperor's golden medal engraved with the words "If I meet me", Miao Changchun couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Xiu took out another gold medal and engraved the four big words "Regent Order".

"Is this enough?"

Miao Changchun sighed. It seemed that the Yuan family was really going to be completely finished. He originally wanted to get the support of the Regent and could continue for a long time.

But now even the Regent has decided to abandon the Yuan family, and the Yuan family really has no hope.

But Li Xiu had the emperor's gold medal and the regent token in his hand, and hope ignited in Miao Changchun's heart that Li Xiu could indeed give herself a way out.

Of course, Miao Changchun didn't want to be buried with the Yuan family. He had already made enough money from the Yuan family. He was as clear as a mirror. He wanted to escape from the Yuan family and live a comfortable life for the rest of his life, so he could only count on Li Xiu.

"What can I get if I assist His Highness?"

"I can give you a new official identity and a new household registration, and you can change your name. If your contribution is great enough, I can even appoint you as an official in Beiting. As for the Yuan family, you don't have to consider it, they can't escape this disaster."

Miao Changchun was silent for a moment and said: "Your Highness is in Gaochang, and the real risk is not Yuan Tao, but the thunder cavalry and the people."

"Tell me in detail!"

"In the past few years, Tuqishi has penetrated deeply in Beiting. The countries in the Western Regions and Tuqishi have more or less colluded, but even the imperial court may not have imagined how deep the collusion is. I have read the letter Yuan Tao wrote to his father. The Beiting scout once discovered tens of thousands of Tuqishi cavalry in Yiwu, and in the Yili Valley area, it has been controlled by Tuqishi people."

"After the victory of the Thunder Leaf, is the Tuqi Shiren still so rampant?"

"That's because Your Highness underestimates the thunder cavalry and slaughter. Why did the imperial court release the great chief, the fire-spouting immortal?"

Li Xiu was shocked. The chief of the Tukkiro Shi, who had been hard-working to capture, was actually released?

"Why release?"

"If the Tuhuoxian is not released, the Tuhuoqiushi will directly cut off the Silk Road. This is an unbearable loss for the court. Therefore, after three rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally released the Tuhuoxian. Now the Tuhuoxian's brother Tuhuomi is the big chief, and Tuhuoxian was appointed as the prime minister. He is currently in Beiting and has 10,000 cavalry in his hand, but no one knows where he is hiding?"

"Yuan Tao knows?"

"Of course he knew that if it weren't for his tacit approval, how could Tuqishi's army enter Beiting? Your Highness understands what I mean!"

"You mean, Yuan Tao and Tuqi colluded with people?"

Miao Changchun nodded, "This is the retreat of the Yuan family. If the court forces them to the forbidden situation, they will rule over Beiting with the support of Tuqishi. In fact, the Yuan family has begun to do this, including transferring wealth to Beiting, which started last year."

"Does Yuan Tao have any opponents?"

"Of course, his biggest opponent is Tian Renwan, the Hanhai Army envoy."

"Why?"

"Yuan Tao was promoted to the Beiting Jiedushi at the beginning of the year. To put it nicely, it was an exception, and to put it ugly, it was unruly. Among the three armies of Beiting, Hanhai Army was the leader, followed by Tianshan Army, and then Yiwu Army. Yuan Tao relied on family power and was promoted to the Beiting Jiedushi with the Yiwu Army Army. Who would be convinced?"

"In addition to not following the rules, what conflicts do Yuan Tao and Tian Renwan have?"

"In October of the previous year, a 3,000-man thunder cavalry team moved south from Yizhou and raided Gaochang area. Several garrisons of the Tianshan Army were destroyed, and a logistics supply team was plundered, and more than 300 soldiers were killed and injured. Tian Renwan believed that Yuan Tao was dereliction of duty and complained to Gai Jiayun first. Gai Jiayun ignored it. Tian Renwan couldn't bear this tone and complained to the court to impeach Yuan Tao. Although it was finally left alone, the two of them had a grudge."

"Is Yuan Tao really having an affair with Tuqi Shiren?"

Miao Changchun nodded, "The Yuan family has been secretly interacting with Tuqishi. The Tuhuoxian was released, and the Yuan family made great efforts."

Li Xiu walked a few steps behind his hands and asked again: "Does Gao Xianzhi have anything to do with Yuan Tao?"

Miao Changchun laughed, "Didn't your highness see it?"

"What did you see?"

"Gao Xianzhi personally led his army to welcome His Highness and his party, not in Xizhou, but in Yizhou. He crossed the border for more than 200 miles. This man is intent! He was afraid that His Highness would be attacked by the thunder cavalryman."

Li Xiu really didn't expect that he had crossed the border for more than 200 miles.
