As soon as Li Mao arrived, Wang Qilin got straight to the point.

He admired Marshal B's appearance for a moment, and after feeling addicted, he slammed the table and shouted: "Li Hao, do you know your guilt?"

Li Hao looked at him in confusion and asked: "Your Highness, the banquet hasn't even started yet, and you've already drunk too much?"

Wang Qilin looked at him indifferently and said: "Li Hao, are you still pretending to be crazy and acting stupid now? Is this necessary?"

Li Hao frowned: "Who is pretending to be crazy? You didn't understand when I first came here, and you said such a sentence in a confused way. What does it mean?"

"You want me to plead guilty. Well, let me ask you, what crime am I guilty of?"

At this time, Wu Hanlin came up to talk to Xi Ni and said, "Is there any misunderstanding between His Highness and the Prince Consort? Don't worry, General Duan is here, and I am also here. Let's talk carefully if we have anything to say."

Wang Qilin said: "The county guard doesn't know something. The remnants of the former dynasty, the guards, have sneaked into this city and infiltrated into the general's mansion."

Wu Hanlin's expression changed slightly, he flicked his sleeve, and a short stick appeared in his hand.

The silver light on the short stick swayed, and it quickly stretched and ejected a sharp spear tip, turning into a silver spear in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao subconsciously approached him and looked at Duan Chengwu in surprise: "General, is this true?"

Duan Chengwu nodded silently.

Today he is not the protagonist, so he does not speak to avoid taking away the glory of the protagonists.

And now he really is not in the mood to speak. His wife, who has been with him through hardships and fought hard battles, was killed by her relatives, and he is really in a low mood.

Furthermore, the prison guard actually placed people next to him, but he didn't notice it at all. This was a dereliction of duty.

That's it for other times. Now that the two armies are confronting each other, the front line is in a dangerous situation. As a result, in such a place, he let the prison guard insert someone into his side. Moreover, this person probably still has to explore the defense deployment of Dahan's border city, so he is responsible.

How big?

Duan Chengwu didn't take the initiative, so Wang Qilin took the initiative.

He originally came with a secret order, so he considered himself a superior.

And since he was already a Shangguan, he no longer had to argue with Li Hao. He simply swept his hand and asked his subordinates to come forward——

If I talk to you personally, I am giving you face, and I am devaluing you!

Xu Da coughed slightly and stepped forward.

He recounted his previous analysis with Wang Qilin: "We went to arrest Jianshan Satellite Su, but they were ambushed. Apparently someone tipped them off and made them ready."

Li Hao laughed out loud when he heard this: "What kind of brains do you have? Because someone tipped them off, you are suspicious of me?"

Xu Da glared at him and said, "Don't be superior or inferior. I haven't finished speaking yet. Please wait patiently to hear it!"

Li Hao said coldly: "Your Excellency, you have such great official authority. I wonder what rank you are?"

Xu Da did not answer. He thought to himself and said, "What's interesting is that when the gang of thieves ambushed us, they also pointed out the true identity of my highness."

"How do they know His Highness's identity?"

"You have to know that we have been dealing with them for several days, and they don't know our true identity at all."

"Even before you arrived, no one in the entire border knew our identities, but after you arrived, they knew!"

Xu Da smiled evilly as he spoke: Bitch, you've revealed your secret!

Li Hao was as calm as ever. He found a seat at random and sat down. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "First of all, how do you know that no one in the entire border knows your true identity before we arrive?"

Without waiting for Wang Qilin's answer, he continued: "Okay, even if you control the whole city and the thoughts of everyone in the city."

"So, it's not just the next person who came to Taiping Pass this time, but also Commander Wu? Commander Wu also recognized your identity, Wang Qilin, right?"

At this point, he smiled apologetically at Wu Hanlin: "I'm sorry, Lord Sheriff, if I want to refute their flawed words, I can only use your identity to suppress them."

Wu Hanlin waved his hand and said: "No problem."

He looked at Wang Qilin, with a look of hesitation on his face: "Sir Wang, to be honest, I don't think the prince-in-law has any connection with the remnants of the previous dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qilin fell silent.

He was very clear about Wu Hanlin's love and care for him, and he was a very calm man. He would not make a promise if he was not completely sure.

What he just said was a reminder to him, implicitly telling him that this suspicion was in the wrong direction.

After silence, Wang Qilin changed his attitude. He bowed to Li Mao and said, "What the prince-in-law said is true. I am suspicious."

Li Hao didn't chase him. After receiving his apology, he laughed loudly: "Ignorance is not a crime. Besides, Mr. Wang is also for the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty. How can I not be considerate of you?"

He said this very humbly and his status was very low.

But the subtext is disgusting.

‘For the long-term peace and stability of our Imperial Court of the Han Dynasty’…

A deeper interpretation of this sentence is: No matter what you do, it is to do things for my family, so even if you make a mistake, I will forget it.

Xu Da sneered and prepared to use the skills of Tingtianjian boy band Zu An God of War to scold Li Hao, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Qilin held down his hand.

He chose to take a step back.

In this way, there was no dispute, and Duan Chengwu regained the leadership of the dinner and led the banquet.

The atmosphere during the banquet was naturally not much better. Duan Chengwu was preoccupied, Li Hao and Wang Qilin were fighting openly and covertly, and Wu Hanlin was also preoccupied. He kept distracted, and he didn't even raise his glass when Duan Chengwu toasted him.

This dinner was quite sumptuous, with mutton, beef, and horse meat, all meat.

Horse meat is a very rare ingredient. Cattle were strictly guarded throughout the ages, and horses were even more strictly guarded. Even rogue horses were not allowed to be killed for meat.

But it was different in the frontiers. There were many wars in the frontiers, and horses were constantly killed in battles. Naturally, these horses could not be wasted. After cleaning the battlefield, they would be dragged away and broken down by the army cooks.

Wang Qilin ate horse meat for the first time and found it not very tasty. Although the horse meat from Jiangjun Mansion had been processed and made into horse meat sausage, the meat was too rough and lacked flavor.

After the night banquet, Wang Qilin told Duan Chengwu and Wu Hanlin that he was going to Longqingguan in the near future.

Wu Hanlin felt strange and asked him why he suddenly wanted to go back. Wang Qilin smiled and said nothing.

Duan Chengwu guessed his purpose, and said suddenly: "Oh, General, I understand. Your Highness wants to send the wooden hat of the prison guard to the Qinglong King?"

Wang Qilin nodded.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed: "Have you caught Doumu Xie? The number one star under the command of Saint Xuanwu?"

Wang Qilin nodded again proudly.

Li Hao was immediately in awe.

When the meat was eaten and the wine was drunk, the banquet was over and everyone parted.

On the way back to the inn, Xu Da looked around and found no one around, so he said, "Master Qi, do you want to arrange someone to keep an eye on Li Hao?"

He was also suspicious of the prince-in-law.

Wang Qilin sneered: "No need."

Xu Da said: "I feel that this prince-in-law came to Taipingguan not just for some bullshit to work for the royal army. I'm afraid he has an ulterior motive, so we'd better keep an eye on him."

Wang Qilin said: "No need to keep an eye on him, let's tie him up directly!"

A group of people around him stared in shock.

Wang Qilin said: "Don't look at me like that. I didn't drink too much. Mr. Xu is right. There must be a secret when Li Hao comes to Taiping Pass. It's useless for us to monitor him. He's not stupid. How could he not know that we would monitor him?"

"So before we make sure we leave Taiping Pass, he will definitely not act rashly, and we don't have time to spend with him, so why have to wait for him to make a move? Let's just tie him up!"

"But this is a serious crime!" Shen San came up and whispered.

Wang Qilin smiled slightly: "It is indeed a serious crime for ordinary people to kidnap relatives of the emperor, but the punishment for kidnapping relatives of the emperor is different. What's more, we are the emperor's imperial envoys now. We will interrogate him after we catch him, and we can always let him Open your mouth!"

Xu Da nodded: "Yes, I think he must be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. As long as this can be proven, hehe, even if Emperor Taizu is resurrected, he will not be able to punish us!"

Shen San said cautiously: "But this move is too dangerous, and Master Qi, let's act like this..."

He hesitated and finally shook his head: "No!"

This is not just a matter of dangerous military operations, but also of being too unscrupulous.

Wang Qilin didn't care. He didn't have much time to spend at Taiping Pass, so since he had a suspected suspect, he had to squeeze out some information from him no matter what.

Dark clouds were floating in the sky, and someone was flying down.

Chen Weiyue.

After he landed, he nodded back, and Wang Qilin immediately understood what he meant: someone was following him.

This was not unexpected, they wanted to spy on Li Hao, and Li Hao also wanted to spy on them.

But it would be difficult to catch Li Hao quietly. Wang Qilin knew that he was being targeted, so he used himself as bait and practiced with the window open that night, so that people outside could always watch. to him.

Xie Toad took Bai Yuan Gong, Shen Yi and Xiang Peihu to touch people.

Taiping Pass implemented a curfew, and the entire border was very quiet. Wang Qilin looked up at the moon, which was full and high.

He remembered a poem for no reason.

When the bright moon was there, it illuminated the colorful clouds.

After a peaceful night, when the sky was slightly bright, the city gate of Taipingguan opened.

Wang Qilin led the team away, and the team walked out of the city gate dusty with yellow sand all over the sky.
