Chapter 3: The Death of Tu Lai (V)

"Leng Yan, come and analyze where Tu Lai will do it?" Zhou Huaian looked at Leng Yan with great expectations.

"The next stop of Dorgon and his party is Qiantun Weicheng, which was once a place for troops stationed in the Ming Dynasty. Although there is only one company of troops stationed there, if there is any attack, if the army is alarmed, Tu Lai and others will be unable to escape the Ming Dynasty's net of heaven and earth. Moreover, along the way, we built more than a dozen fortresses in the Ming Dynasty. Although we only have a small number of troops stationed here, we will inevitably be alarmed on the whole line. At that time, a net of heaven and earth will be formed, and there is nowhere to escape. Tu Lai followed Huang Taiji to conquer our Ming Dynasty many times.

It is not unaware of the danger, so Leng Yan guessed that either he would not take action tonight or he would take action on the way to Qiantun Abram tomorrow, so that if they were discovered, they could flee west. There were mountains to the west so that they could hide their tracks and covered with heavy snow. Even if we reacted, we could not catch up with them. If neither of them was the case, it would be difficult to guess. From Qiantun Abram to Jinzhou City, if someone responded, they could completely slip away from the sea, but it seemed unlikely!" Leng Yan said.

"Your analysis makes sense." Zhou Huaian nodded.

"But, uncle..." Leng Yan wanted to speak but stopped.

"In front of my uncle, you don't have to worry about what you say," Zhou Huaian said.

"If Tu Lai and others don't take action in my Ming Dynasty, what should Leng Yan do?" Leng Yan asked withdrew.

"How come you have this idea?" Zhou Huaian looked at Leng Yan in surprise.

"Leng Yan thought that if Tu Lai thought that taking action in my Ming Dynasty would not only alarm the court, but also trapping himself. Tu Lai was not stupid, he would not know this truth. If I were Tu Lai, I would never choose to take action in the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the confidentiality of this trip, I could not leave any future troubles to my master. If Tu Lai was to force it, the best place to take action should be not far from the border agreed by the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, and it happened to be somewhere within my Ming Dynasty border, so that I could kill two birds with one stone!" Leng Yan said.

If Dorgon died in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court would naturally not watch the Later Jin find an excuse to create a war. Therefore, even if the token that proves Dorgon's true identity is there, as long as the body and the token are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin cannot see the body and the token, and anyway, everyone in the world knows that Dorgon died in the northwest desert. The Later Jin did not have an excuse to start a war against the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji would not be able to achieve his plan to kill two birds with one stone. The killing of Dorgon is too confidential. Huang Taiji could not arrange more people to cooperate with Tu Lai's actions. Therefore, all the action plans are decided by Tu Lai themselves. Compared with Huang Taiji, he must have given Tu Lai enough autonomy.

The question is, does Tulai have such a scheming?

The map is dependent on it, but it leaves too little time for him, and there are too few people available for use and allocation. No matter where you take action, there will be countless flaws. As long as the Ming Dynasty catches one, the master Huang Taiji's plan to kill two birds with one stone will go bankrupt. At most, it is to secretly eliminate Dorgon's confidant trouble. This is actually Huang Taiji's bottom line. If you put the target smaller, it will not be difficult to achieve it.

Leng Yan specializes in dealing with Tu Lai, but Tu Lai has seventeen good men, so Zhou Huaian cannot let Leng Yan deal with everyone alone. He then sent a group of people, another special operation department of the Military Intelligence Department, called the "Dragon Group". The Dragon Group is an organization. It may be just a very small yamen in the court, but everyone is respected in the world. Not only because it is a department of the court, but what is more powerful is its strength. It is considered to be the violent law enforcement agency of the Military Intelligence Department, which is specifically responsible for cases that ordinary people cannot handle. Zhou Huaian sent people from the Dragon Group. Half of the people from the Dragon Group comes from the army and half from the Jianghu, which belongs to a mixed group. Basically, the people in the Dragon Group act alone, and few groups cooperate with the action, which is different from the nature of the special forces.

The dragon team is relatively free. Even if the task is not completed, it doesn’t matter much. At most, it can be lost. The special forces are different. They are disciplined and punished, and even lose their lives.

Dorgon and others lived in a separate courtyard, which provided a lot of convenience for Tu Lai to do things and reduced the risk of direct exposure.

Dorgon was not a fool either. He saw that the seventeen men who took him had retrieved his own weapons one by one, and he had already noticed something was wrong. However, these seventeen people were still in their bones and did not know that their real task was to kill the "master" they protected all the way, otherwise Dorgon would have noticed it long ago.

Based on the marks left by his subordinates, Tulai found the separate courtyard where Dorgon was staying, and quietly gathered several confidants together. Then he quickly gave a few instructions. Soon, the seventeen subordinates arranged such a separate garden into a copper wall according to Tulai's arrangement.

Dorgon's eyelids kept twitching, and they were jumping very hard. He always felt that something would happen tonight. He did not prepare tea for him with the inn, and drank the water bags he carried with him. He always felt that he was three more nervous along the way than under the endless pursuit of the brother.

A dagger was tied to the calf jade, which was his only weapon and a guarantee of his life.

"Dongdong..." A dull knock on the door came.

The house where Dorgon rested was the best and most safest in the yard. This insurance is that if something happened, the one who was the most difficult to escape was to get out. There was no way, and he had no right to choose.

"Who!" Dorgon stared at the door vigilantly, his right hand drooped unconsciously, and bent down slightly. If there was a slight change, the sharp dagger on his calf arm would be quickly pulled out and stabbed at the unknown enemy.

"Master Duo, your subordinates have asked the shop to deliver the food and food prepared by you." A strange voice came from outside the door.

Along the way, the subordinates still asked him for wine and food, but he wouldn't go every time. He stirred it with chopsticks a few times and placed it there to chew the dry food he prepared.

"Oh, come in." Dorgon stepped forward and opened the door bolt, saying, but his body did not relax, and he still stared at the opened door vigilantly.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Dorgon felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but the other party was dressed up, with a hunchbacked figure, and bent over, unable to see his face clearly, but it gave him a very dangerous feeling. His body suddenly arched slightly, and his whole body was accumulating energy to deal with the sudden attack.

"Put it on the table." Dorgon's eyes never left the hunchbacked waiter's body, and his spirit never relaxed.

"Master Duo, please use it slowly. If you don't have enough wine, the messenger will notify you with a small sound, and the little one will send it to you immediately." The hunched waiter seemed to deliberately turn his back to Dorgon, preventing him from seeing his face, and then placed the wine and food on the table one by one.

How capable is Dorgon? The more he looks, the more he feels that the hunchbacked waiter looks familiar. Moreover, his hunchbacked figure seems to be disguised. He has never played such a trick along the way, which is too insulting Dorgon's wisdom.

"I'm leaving!" The waiter turned around and was about to leave.

"stop!"

"What are the instructions for Mr. Duo?" The hunchbacked waiter seemed to be even more hunched, with a low-cut and hunched back. His long hair was hanging down from his ears, almost covering half of his face.

"Raise your head." Dorgon sneered.

"I am born with this look and can't raise my head. Please forgive me!"

"Why, I want to pretend until when? Can't you tell me that your hunchback is fake with my eyes?" Dorgon said sternly.

"Haha, it's not a pity that it's the fourteen beiles of our Great Jin Kingdom. I can see my disguise at a glance!" Tu Lai straightened up, threw the lacquer plate in his hand aside, took off the clothes on his back, laughed three times, and looked at Dorgon.

"Tulai, it's you!" Dorgon was shocked and asked, "Is it my starling sent you?"

"Fourth Master, you are smart, and you can't hide it from you." Tu Lai smiled. Now Dorgon is already a bird in a cage, and he will still be a dead body later. He is still afraid that what he does. Even if he understands everything, what's the use?

"Brother, did you ask you to kill me?" Dorgon smiled bitterly. What should come will come, but he didn't expect would be so cruel that it was unacceptable.

"Since the Fourteenth Master knows everything, there is no need to say Tu Lai Ming!" Tu Lai looked at Dorgon coldly.

"It's not this day for the starling brother to kill me, right?" Dorgon had already prepared himself mentally, and he believed that he was not alone and he still had value in use. That person would not let him die like this. Thinking of this, Dorgon quickly calmed down.

He is still so calm when he dies. No wonder he can become the biggest hidden danger of his master. Tu Lai can't help but secretly exclaim in his heart. It's a pity that he is going to die and can never threaten his master again.

"Fourth Master, Tu Lai respects you as a man. Tu Lai doesn't want to get your blood from your 14th Master. These wines, dishes and a pot of poisonous wine, you can go on your own," Tu Lai said.

"What if I, Dorgon, don't drink it?" A resentful light burst into Dorgon's eyes.

"Fourth Master, you are a wise man. If the king wants his minister to die, his minister must die. Don't make it difficult for the slaves to do!"

"Okay, good words, the king wants his minister to die, but he has to die. Tu Lai, do you remember what happened back then?" Dorgon asked sternly.

"Everything that Khan gives to him, Khan is only loyal to him." Tulai only wants Dorgon to say anything, but no matter what despicable means Huang Taiji used when he seized the throne, he and Huang Taiji ended up being prosperous, so he could only stand on Huang Taiji's side.

"Ama died of illness and asked me to inherit the throne of Khan. Later, my brother seized the throne and forced my mother to be buried with me. When I was young, I couldn't fight for him, so I could only give way to him. Today, his position as Khan belonged to me, Dorgon. Huang Taiji snatched it from me. You know who is the king and who is the minister, you know the best!" Dorgon cursed repeatedly.

"The success and the success and defeat of the enemy. If the Fourteenth Master is defeated, he is the minister and the enemy." Tulai said coldly.

Dorgon smiled, and said with a bit creepy smile: "Okay, okay, Tu Lai, you said it well, no wonder my starling respects you so much, even killing your own brother can be done for you!"

Tu Lai changed color suddenly. Although he took on this job, he was hit by the thunder above his head. If he couldn't do it well, it would be a crushing fate.

"It's useless to say more. Fourteenth Master, you'd better get on the road early. Your Majesty will be buried with you in the future." Tu Lai said.

"What if I didn't drink that pot of poisonous wine?" Dorgon sneered.

"Then I have to forgive the rudeness of the slaves!" Tu Lai's eyes suddenly appeared and his cold eyes shot directly at Dorgon. The sword hidden in the bend of his arm had already exposed half of the hilt.

"Tu Lai, you want to kill me, Dorgon alone, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do this!" Dorgon raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party coldly.

"Tu Lai knows it yourself!"Tu Lai knew that today it was probably necessary to use force to solve the problem. With a "choke", the sword in his hand was pushed out of the scabbard by his thumb.

This was a secret code to take action. The three men of Tulai, who were hiding at the door, quickly pushed open the door and entered the room quickly, besieging Dorgon in the center from southeast, northwest and north, and the sharp weapons had been unsheathed.

"Fourth Master, you have one last chance. After drinking that pot of poisonous wine, I won't make things difficult for you!" Tu Lai said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha..." Dorgon smiled at the sky, suddenly bent over, pulled out the dagger hidden from his legs, blocked his chest, and shouted: "Tu Lai, everyone said that you are the number one master around my starling. Today, I, Dorgon, want to try whether there is such a weight!"

"Then the servants are going to ask for advice from the Fourteenth Master." Tu Lai slowly spread his legs, held the hilt of the knife with his right hand, and stared at Dorgon's hand holding the dagger with his eyes.

Dorgon knew in his heart that he and Tu Lai were at most half a dozen, but Tu Lai’s three subordinates were good players. If there were no changes, the chance of his survival would be very low when the four people attacked together.

"Four barbarian clowns, they dare to kill people on my unhappy land. Damn it!" Between the elbows, a black whirlwind floated into the house like a ghost. There was only a "dou" sound of a crisp "golden" sound. Tu Lai was blown down by the strong wind, and he took three steps back with his face as if he was earthy, looking around inexplicably.

"Are you looking for me?" A black shadow stood in front of Dorgon like mercury.

"Who are you?" Tu Lai asked in shock.

Without waiting for the black shadow to answer, he only saw that the weapons of Tu Lai's three men fell to the ground at the same time. A red line appeared between the three men's necks. Then with a "pi", three blood curtains spewed out from the red line. The three pairs of eyes turned down at the same time, and fell down with an incredible look!

"What a fast knife!" Tulai and Dorgon were so shocked that they couldn't speak. If it weren't Tulai's own knife, it would be fast enough. In addition, the opponent attacked four people with one sword, and when the strength was exhausted, he blocked the fatal knife. Otherwise Tulai would be the same as his three subordinates.

Leng Yan's sword couldn't help but shock Tu Lai. Even Dorgon did not dare to have any bad intentions towards Leng Yan in the future. With one sword, Leng Yan pursued a killing of one blow. Experts fought, especially when they had different lives, often the winner was only in seconds, and it was not a competition to pursue good-looking things!

"Those who kill people will always kill them!" Leng Yanqing shouted, and the second knife slashed at Tu Lai's lightning. Tu Lai raised his sword to block it, but saw Leng Yan's strange smile, and a lightning slash in his left hand, slashing Tu Lai's neck.

Tu Lai had a knife, and it was too late to change his moves in the middle. He could only watch the opponent's second knife's blade cut across his neck. It didn't hurt at all. He only felt a slight coolness on his neck, a little numb. Then a red line was revealed and he went with his three subordinates.

"You are despicable, the second knife..." This is Tu Lai's last sentence before his death.

The first knife was already heartbreaking, and there was also the second knife. Dorgon didn't even see clearly where the second knife was hidden and how to use it. Besides, there was a second, and there was a third. God knows how many swords Leng Yan had on his body!

"Are you Dorgon?" Leng Yan called Dorgon's name without hesitation.

Dorgon had not woken up from his shock, but he just heard someone talking to him and nodded in a daze.

"From today, I will protect your safety with my own eyes." After talking coldly, I didn't say much, and after telling Dorgon about his responsibilities, I won't say more.

"Who is the hero?" Dorgon had seen the world and quickly realized that the person who came to kill Tulai and saved his life.

"Leng Yan!" Leng Yan coldly reported his name, and then said, "You should call me Zhuge Yan in the future, because I will be Zhuge Qing's son."

Dorgon was stunned and also felt his scalp numb. He had already guessed Leng Yan's identity, but he did not expect that the Ming court would give him such an identity. Obviously, this young man who turned into "Zhuge Yan" would stay by his side as the son of his benefactor, so the Ming court's intention was naturally self-evident.

Although Dorgon felt a little resentful, he still couldn't refuse to accept it.

There were fourteen people outside, basically all of them were cleaned silently by the people of the Dragon Group, and the bodies were also cleaned up. Of course, Tu Lai's corpse was left because it was of great use. As for the road to the road tomorrow, there would be seventeen live followers around Dorgon, but after leaving Gaoling Town, the people of the Dragon Group would be broken into pieces, and the rest would be left to the border of Daming. Leng Yan would accompany Dorgon and Tu Lai's corpses.
