When he arrived in Jicheng, seeing that there were no traces of the Xiongnu ravaging around him, Liu Tan thought he could take a breather and then fight the Xiongnu and Wuhuan to death.

As a result, before he had time to enter the palace, he was blocked by Dou Sibo and said such a sentence, and he almost didn't go there on the spot.

He looked at Dou Sibo with disbelief: "What are you talking about? Let me tell you that I can't take jokes."

If you dare to make a joke about this matter, believe it or not, I will let my father change me later?

Dou Sibo was completely at a loss, so he knelt down to Liu Tan, and the hands holding the hem of his clothes were trembling. Of course, his voice was even more trembling, and he said tremblingly: "I... I dare not lie to Your Highness. ...His Royal Highness King Yan...really...really was taken away."

After confirming that Dou Sibo was not lying, the rest of the people gathered around Liu Tan, for fear that their highness would faint from excitement.

Miao Rui and Bi Gao were especially impatient. Thinking about it, since they arrived in Yan Kingdom, their highness had never encountered any comforting things. Either there was a problem here or there was a problem there. Finally, Wuhuan was about to be kicked out. , As a result, the Huns came.

Although it is hard to say how the Xiongnu's timing is so accurate, everyone thinks that it should be the result of Wuhuan asking the Xiongnu for help.

After all, it is no secret that Wuhuan and the Xiongnu have friendly relations. In addition, after Liu talked about the Yan Kingdom, the first thing he was optimistic about was the gate of the country. Anyway, there is no mutual market here, and there is no need for trading, so he simply closed the gate of the border gate. , no one wants to go out.

This will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction, especially because there are still some families in Yan who like to do business with the Xiongnu—there are always people who value money more than the country and the nation.

These people originally wanted to find ways to put pressure on the imperial court as before. The former Prime Minister of Yan Guo also knew that it would cause problems if he let his own way, so he also dealt with it ruthlessly.

The result was that they couldn't control it, and even let these people test the reality of the court and become more arrogant.

This time they originally wanted to do the same thing. Anyway, Dou Sibo, the Prime Minister of the Yan Kingdom, seems to be not as flexible as his predecessor. It is said that he is an idiot.

Others in Yan Kingdom are not satisfied, but they are very satisfied.

Idiots are good, idiots are easy to bully.

So the result of their pressure was that they were repelled beyond recognition-one counted as one, but all those families who were caught by Liu Tan were all uprooted.

No way, these people are able to exert pressure because they are big taxpayers. The tax revenue of Yan State... used to be really ugly. It all depends on these big households being in a better mood occasionally, so the Prime Minister of Yan State can't tear their face at them. .

But Liu Tan lacked everything except money. Once the workshops he opened became successful, he alone could occupy half of Yan's tax revenue. How could he be threatened by these people?

As a result, there was a sudden turmoil, and no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard at this time, so the possibility of news spreading from Yan Kingdom was very small.

Now that the Xiongnu were finally driven away, Liu Tan didn't even have time to stay and look at the situation in Shanggu County, so he ran to Jicheng, but he got the news that his own child was lost. Who could not be angry?

Especially before their Highnesses left, they had repeatedly told them to take good care of King Yan, and what they were most afraid of was that something would happen to King Yan.

However, I don’t know if it’s because Liu Tan has experienced more wind and rain. He stood there taking a deep breath and asked, “You just said you were missing, but now you say you were taken away. Which one is the real one?” of?"

The two degrees are not the same. The disappearance means that there may be elaborate operations inside the palace, but the Yan Palace is all the elite group left by Liu Tan, and Liu Ku is also accompanied by Fu Yu and Cen You who have been by his side. These people would betray him, he didn't believe it at all.

Don't mention relationship issues, just say that Liu Tan treats them very well, don't say that the elite group has been providing delicious food and drink, just say that Cen You and Fu Yu can be considered rich if their assets are taken out .

So when he heard that Liu Ku was missing, he wondered if someone had also been inspired by his tunnel-digging tactics and dug the tunnel directly into the palace.

The interior of Yanwang Palace is not a concrete floor, but a structure of rammed earth and blue bricks. It is not difficult to dig a tunnel in such a ground.

Even if they don't have black powder, as long as they don't encounter particularly hard rocks, they have a chance.

Moreover, it is impossible for Yanwang Palace to be built on rocks, otherwise the foundation would not be able to be laid.

Even palaces built by the oldest methods have foundations.

Dou Sibo's face was in a daze, and he stammered: "I...I don't know, I just heard that someone sneaked into the palace and took King Yan away."

Liu Tan couldn't help but grabbed his collar: "I heard? Didn't you check? What's going on? As the Prime Minister of Yan, don't you even have any news?"

Although the news of Liu Ku's disappearance made Liu Tan feel as if he had suffered a heavy blow, he was still in a stable mood, knowing that it was useless to worry at this time.

And to put it in a very cold-blooded way, Liu Ku's disappearance... really can't affect anything, as long as he is still alive, the country of Yan will not be in chaos.

So the person who took Liu Ku away probably wanted to threaten Liu Tan. As for threatening Liu Che... Don't even think about it, Liu Che would definitely not accept this threat.

Dou Sibo came to his senses after being scolded by Liu Tan, and his eyes turned red immediately: "Your...chen...you are guilty."

After the initial panic, when Liu Tan came back and made Dou Sibo clearly realize that the backbone had returned, he came back to his senses.

After regaining his senses, he clearly realized how unqualified his behavior after the disappearance of King Yan as the Prime Minister of the country was - except for panic, the only thing he did right was to suppress the news.

But the problem is that this news is completely worthless.

He thought of sending news to Liu Tan, but the Xiongnu occupied Shanggu County, and his news did not reach Liu Tan. Not only that, but he also went astray with the army.

As long as he didn't suppress the news, Liu Tan might have received the news when he occupied Shanggu County and went to Ji County, and he could give Dou Sibo an order even if he was not in Jicheng.

Liu Tan once again realized that for the position of Prime Minister of the State, it is really impossible to let someone who can only be obedient take over.

He took a deep look at Dou Sibo, turned his head and rushed directly to the palace.

If it was Huo Guang, regardless of whether Liu Ku would be taken away, at least when Liu Ku came over, Huo Guang had figured out all the possibilities.

Now Liu Tan can only go back to the palace to see. Asking the elite group is more reliable than asking Dou Sibo!

After Liu Tan returned to the palace, he found that everyone in the elite group was injured, and the leader was so seriously injured that he could no longer walk.

Liu Tan first asked about his injuries, and only after he learned that there would be no serious problems as long as he was taken care of properly did he call for someone to come over for questioning.

In fact, after seeing the wounds on these people, Liu Tan knew that the Yan Palace must have been invaded, but... it is outrageous that there is only Yan Palace in the whole Jicheng.

It seemed that the other party's purpose was very clear, that they came here for King Yan.

In fact, this was indeed the case. By asking the elite regiments who were not seriously injured, Liu Tan knew that the person who came was probably the Huns.

As for how these Huns broke into the palace, it is not difficult to understand - most of the guards of the elite regiment are in the area of ​​the main hall, and other places are not ignored, but in order to better protect King Yan, they directly handed over the place to the Kingdom of Yan Soldier.

This is also the result of Liu Tan's careful consideration. He can replace them with elite regiments, but the problem is that they can't really replace them all. After these soldiers are brought home, many of them may lose their income, so he still keeps some of them. Guard Yan Palace.

In the end, I never expected that something went wrong with these people—some of them were bought by the Huns who were stranded in Yan State, and directly opened the back door of Yan Palace.

The elite group actually reacted very quickly, but they couldn't hold back the menacing attack of the other party, and the most important thing was that some of them pretended to be eunuchs. Of course, they couldn't say they were pretending, because the other party was indeed an eunuch, and he was indeed a Han Chinese.

The elite regiment was caught off guard and attacked. They originally protected King Yan very well and planned to let Fu Yu and Cen You lead King Yan to the army first.

In the end, I didn't expect that the other party would send out the eagle archer, but this time the eagle archer didn't want human life, but replaced the arrow with a claw, which hooked Liu Ku's clothes very skillfully. People, don't they just yank and leave.

Liu Tan was in a trance when he heard it. To be honest, this incident was filled with a sense of absurdity from the beginning to the end.

He never thought that Liu Ku would be taken away by the Huns. Of course, if Jicheng was destroyed, he would understand. Now the people of Jicheng probably don't know that such an important event happened in the palace!

After all, the owners of the houses closest to Jicheng were basically cleaned up by Liu Tan because of various problems, and he would definitely give them to his own people after they were vacated.

As a result, these people basically went to the battlefield. Because of the arrangement of the imperial court, Liu Tan did not bring civil servants at all except for the generals. As a result, the palace and the aristocratic areas near the palace are basically quiet. People who know about this matter Very few.

If not, it would be impossible for Dou Sibo to suppress the news so easily.

After listening to it with a dazed expression, Liu Tan couldn't help but ask, "Where are Fu Yu and Cen You? Why haven't I seen them?"

If Liu Ku was hooked away by the opponent's eagle shooter, then Fu Yu and Cen You should be fine. Knowing their identities, the elite group will definitely protect them.

But after Liu talked about the palace, not only did he not see them, he didn't even hear about them.

The soldiers of the elite regiment who came to report suddenly had red eyes, lowered their heads and said, "The two young ladies chased out with their uninjured brothers."

Liu Tan immediately clapped the case: "Nonsense!"
