How could this kind of thing be without You Miao? Nie Dan couldn't do anything about You Miao at all, but the three righteous brothers met after a long absence, and Nie Dan also missed You Miao very much. Considering that Li Zhifeng was there, the danger was not high, so he agreed to take them with him.
The two put on dark robes, followed Nie Dan out, and sneaked into the night.
Nie Dan has been in Da'an City for many years. He knows the terrain of the city and the passage way too well. He knows the road and finds a place to eavesdrop. Before He Motie'er arrives, the three of them are at the top of the corridor, borrowing tiles. Cover, hide out of the light.
Li Zhifeng was in front, and Nie Dan protected You Miao with one hand to prevent him from falling. The three of them looked at the corridor leading to the courtyard, where they could hear the conversation in the study.
"He Motie'er has been here many times." Nie Dan whispered towards You Miao: "He is not reconciled to the current situation and always wants to tie the game."
"Have you ever planned a rebellion?" You Miao asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Nie Dan said in a very low voice: "He is too suspicious and very careful. Every time he comes, I deliberately avoid him so as not to be discovered."
You Miao said, "How many times have you spied on eavesdropping like this before, eldest brother?"
"This is just the second time." Nie Dan said in You Miao's ear: "He Motie'er is very careful, we have never met before, but I was a handyman in the Eastern Region House, coming and going, he might I have a feeling."
You Miao said in a low voice, "You have chosen the best place to hide yourself. Daleko's subordinates are all warriors. Even if a nurse caught the attention of He Motie'er, he would only think about you. He is a hidden master under Daleko."
You Miao looked at Nie Dan, and saw that his beard, hair and eyebrows were slightly dyed. Nie Dan's pupils were already light in color, so he should be able to hide from He Motie'er by pretending to be a dog.
Just as he was thinking about it, the flames shook outside, and He Motie came.
You Miao glanced down, and after being pulled into the shadows by Nie Dan, He Motieer did not notice that they were hiding in the high beams of the roof, but just smiled and said a few Tatar words to Sikhland. Sikhland was not as polite to He Motieer as he was to Youmiao, and greeted him carelessly to sit down, drink and chat.
Both of them spoke in Tatar dialect, and You Miao couldn't understand a word, but Nie Dan and Li Zhifeng, who was opposite him, looked solemn and frowned deeply. You Miao had to observe the expressions of the host and guest below, and he discovered unexpectedly: He Motie'er was old.
This is the first time that You Miao has seen this God of War who swept the north since he escaped from Da'an a few years ago. Perhaps it was because the defeat hit him, or because of the fortunes in the Tartar territory, He Motie'er was a little dejected.
You Miao knew at first sight that He Motie'er was doomed to lose. This general and Nie Dan have become the two heroes of the north and the south, and are hailed as a myth that stands still. However, compared to Nie Dan's indomitable spirit, He Motie'er looked tired.
After saying a few words, He Motie asked from below, his tone was anxious and irritable, while Sikhland just answered one sentence after another. In the end, He Motie had no choice but to ask another sentence. This time You Miao heard it. Three words - Daleko.
Sikhland waved his hands loudly and patted his chest with a smile, thinking that He Motieer was asking about Daleko's promise, but Sikhland's answer was that it was wrapped around him. In the end, He Motieer had to get up, put down a letter, and leave.
Not long after the conversation this time, Nie Dan raised his eyes to look at the opposite Li Zhifeng, and pointed to the outside. Li Zhifeng waved his hand lightly, motioning to wait a little longer.
Drunk, Sikelan opened the letter, scraped off the lacquer, glanced at it, and put it in his arms.
You Miao was inexplicable. Looking at the two of them, Nie Dan kept staring at Sikhland. After a long time, Sikhland was completely drunk. The guards came to clean up, put out the lights, and the three of them left quietly.
As soon as he got back to the inn, Nie Dan immediately took off his mask and said to Li Zhifeng, "I chased you out and joined forces with you just now. We should be able to kill him."
"It's not right." Li Zhifeng said, "Ziqian is still here. If He Motieer can't be killed and the guards in the city are alerted, the entire caravan will suffer."
"Wait." You Miao said: "Translate what they said first, and I will analyze the situation."
Nie Dan took a few steps back and forth in the room, pondered for a long time, and then began to relay what they overheard. You Miao was immediately shocked.
It turned out that He Motie had already planned with Daleko to start cleaning up the little prince Batu as soon as possible, and the time to start was actually earlier than the Winter Hunting Festival. Just a few days later, while the little prince Batu was out. opportunity to start. Dalie Keben agreed to He Motie'er and sent his warriors to clean it up in person, but for some unknown reason, he left Da'an City ten days ago.
He Motieer came to settle this matter with Sikhland today, and was very angry at Daleko's untrustworthy behavior.
Sikhland told He Motieer that Daleko had ordered everything, and it made no difference whether he was present or not. When He Motieer saw that Sikhland was not paying much attention to such important matters, he repeatedly reminded him and left in a rage.
"My brother wants to get out." Li Zhifeng said: "He has business affairs in the mouth, but it is actually a way to get out. In this way, even if He Motie'er fails, he will not be involved in any way."
"Well." Nie Dan said: "He Motie'er also left a letter, and the breaking point is on this letter. As long as you get the letter and kill He Motie'er, it will be successful. Either today Let's take a risk tonight..."
"No." You Miao said decisively, "Brother, do you want to steal the letter?"
Nie Dan said: "Yes, steal the correspondence between He Motie'er and Daleko, and then try to pass it on to Batu."
"What if the letter didn't mention the inside story of the rebellion?" You Miao asked. "It doesn't matter whether you and Li Zhifeng can join forces to kill He Motie'er. If you kill him and there is no evidence of his rebellion, the result will be the same in the end."
Nie Dan thought about it for a long time and seemed to be worried.
Li Zhifeng added: "I still have a question, they want to go to Batu to see the Winter Hunting Festival venue, but Batu has his own personal guards, He Motieer can't go out of the city, and all the Quanjun people are in Da'an. , how to take action?"
"I don't know." Nie Dan said, "According to my information, there is no ambush in the north of the White Wolf Mountain, and there are no hunters there."
"If Batu goes to the hunting ground." You Miao said, "Maybe he will take me with him, or I will use the reason to send something to the Xiling Palace tomorrow, saying that I am bored in Daan and want to go out for a walk."
Still thinking about it, Nie Dan finally said, "Fourth brother, do you think it's better to let He Motie'er succeed, or let him fail?"
You Miao stopped talking, thought for a long time, and said, "Both results are fine, but I think the second one is better than the first one."
"Suppose we don't ask, let He Motie's assassination with the hands of the Quanjun people succeed. The Tartar will encounter new changes, Prince Gegen will take the throne, and He Motie'er will be reactivated." You Miao said. .
Nie Dan: "In this battle for the throne, the Tartars will also be in chaos for a while. When Batu dies, Baoyin loses power, and her mother's family, Xianbei, is bound to break with the Tartars, so Wuhu and the Tartars are unstable. The alliance naturally falls apart."
"But He Motieer can settle this after all. Moreover, after he rebels, he will definitely strengthen his defenses, lest Batu's forces counterattack and retaliate, it will be very difficult to assassinate again at that time." You Miao said: "Unless the Nanchao sends troops immediately The Northern Expedition, and... it's hard to say."
"What about the second result?" You Miao added, "To protect Batu, let him be in danger of being assassinated first, and then steal the letter and give it to Empress Dowager Baoyin. Tie'er's charges have been fulfilled."
"What's the use after it's implemented?" Nie Dan asked, "Queen Baoyin already knew that He Motieer was plotting against their mother and son, and she didn't get rid of him for so many years, precisely because she was afraid of the forces behind him and the army."
"This is a process of weakening." You Miao explained: "First cut He Motie's military power, and then vacate him. Now that the evidence of He Motie's rebellion is solid, Baoyin and Batu will definitely panic. Winter Hunting Festival Come on, we can try to get Queen Baoyin to give He Motie a glass of wine, and then poison the wine."
"Fourth brother, don't forget, you are a Han Chinese." Nie Dan shook his head and said, "It's hard for you to convince Baoyin and Batu. They are wary of Han people."
"You forgot Li Zhifeng." You Miao said.
Li Zhifeng smiled, thought for a while, and replied, "Yes, I will use the identity of Sanado to escort Batu back. When the time comes, let the little prince Batu help me keep this identity secret. It's no longer threatening."
You Miao looked at Nie Dan, Nie Dan was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"Then follow your plan," Nie Dan replied. "It's getting late, I should go back, lest no one in Sikhland be suspicious. I'll try to steal the letter and look at the contents."
You Miao nodded, and Nie Dan added, "I'll come to you if I have something to do."
Nie Dan dodged out the window and disappeared. You Miao and Li Zhifeng looked at each other, You Miao was relieved and looked at Li Zhifeng.
"There are still many letters to be finalized on the details." You Miao said, "Let's plan first, how to implement it, and let He Motie step into our trap step by step..."
You Miao moved a chair, wrote and painted with Li Zhifeng, and chatted all night. At dawn, he asked Lin Ke about the topography of Bailang Mountain and asked for a sketch.
