Qiu Siyuan did not know that Cui Jianfeng and the others went to Jinhua to steal secrets. Although he and Cui Jianfeng had become inseparable friends, Cui Jianfeng also stopped investigating them. However, Cui Jianfeng also had his own plans, so he still kept his affairs secret from Qiu Siyuan.

Because the county town was burned down, the three of them moved to Boss Cheng's temporary residence on the outskirts of the city. In recent days, Boss Cheng renovated the inn in front of the county government. When Sun Xiaogang looked at the newly built street shop in the county town that was almost restored to its original size through his celestial eye,

On the outskirts of the county, he unexpectedly found a large number of Tang soldiers stationed in tents, so he told Qiu Siyuan about this.

"Why did so many Tang soldiers suddenly appear? What did they do?" Qiu Siyuan felt strange.

"I remember that Cui Gong once said that if we don't pay attention to controlling ourselves, once we attract the attention of the court, a large number of government soldiers may be sent to hunt and encircle us. Are these Tang soldiers coming for us?" Liang Haiming suddenly asked

.

"Oh." Qiu Siyuan suddenly realized: "Yes, they may have heard about our attack on their investigators and sent a large army to encircle and suppress us."

"Then what should we do?" Sun Xiaogang was a little nervous.

"First expand the search area of ​​the Sky Eye and see how many Tang soldiers are coming to this area."

"Okay." Sun Xiaogang immediately took off another Sky Eye to lay a signal conversion platform and began to observe further areas.

"Too many," Sun Xiaogang reported the observation results to Qiu Siyuan a few hours later: "There are a large number of Tang soldiers activities in the entire Wuzhou area, especially along the Wucheng and Jinhua lines. Tang soldiers' outdoor tents can be seen everywhere."

"To send so many Tang soldiers here for a few of us, I really don't know how scary we are in their minds." Qiu Siyuan smiled.

"Alas." Sun Xiaogang suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the monitor and saying, "To the north of the county, there seems to be a large number of cavalry chasing three people on horseback?"

"What?" Qiu Siyuan immediately adjusted the electronic telescope on his Sky Eye, zoomed in on the faces of the three people running in front and was shocked: "Isn't this Cui Gong and the others? Why are they being chased by these Tang soldiers?"

"Look, their backs were hit by several arrows, and their backs are full of blood." Liang Haiming pointed to the three people on horses running in front and said.

"Why did Tang Bing pursue them?" Qiu Siyuan was puzzled.

"Are these Tang soldiers coming for them?" Sun Bogang asked in confusion.

"But Cui Gong and others are here to investigate and deal with our important officials of the Tang Dynasty. How could they be hunted down by their own people?" Liang Haiming also felt incredible.

"We don't have time to talk about these issues." Qiu Siyuan immediately turned to Sun Xiaogang and said: "You use the laser gun on the Sky Eye to stop these Tang soldiers as soon as possible and rescue Cui Gong and others."

"Okay, I will use a super powerful laser to sweep all the other people's men and horses into pieces." Sun Xiaogang said harshly.

"Don't use the super strong gear." Qiu Siyuan said hurriedly: "Just use the weak second gear to dismount them. Try not to kill their troops."

"Why?"

"It will do us no good to escalate the situation."

"Okay." Sun Xiaogang immediately turned the laser gun on the Sky Eye, adjusted the intensity of the laser gun, and immediately fired at the large number of Tang Army cavalry who were chasing Cui Jianfeng and the others.

As if possessed by an evil spirit, the cavalrymen of the Tang army suddenly rolled off their horses one after another. The frightened horses ran around in all directions, causing the Tang soldiers to become confused and unable to pursue the three horses in front.

The captain of the cavalry of the Tang Army, who was in hot pursuit, saw something suddenly happen. He saw that his cavalry fell off their horses in large pieces for no apparent reason, and he couldn't help but rein in the horses.

This captain was the same Zhenwei Colonel Huang Yuanxing who had talked with Zheng Mingjie about escorting two death row inmates to the capital prison in the morning.

Huang Yuanxing was a Zhenwei captain of the sixth rank of Zhechong Prefecture in Taizhou, Jiangnan Province, the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty still implemented the military service system, and there were seven Zhechong Prefectures in Jiangnan Province. Each Zhechong Prefecture had a captain, with an official rank of fifth to fourth rank (

Depends on the size of Zhechong Mansion). Generally speaking, Jiangnan Road is not a border area, so there were not many troops stationed in the Tang Dynasty. However, with the emergence of the recruitment system, local generals secretly recruited more soldiers, so the specific size of the troops is not known.

An accurate number.

Because the captains of each Zhechong Prefecture in Jiangnan Province were also under the control of Fan Zhendong, General Ningyuan of the Ministry of War, so this time, the Ministry of War mobilized a large number of cavalry from the seven Zhechong Prefectures in Jiangnan Province to go to Wuzhou through him, making military distribution the focus.

Originally, the Secretary of the Ministry of War wanted to use nearly a hundred soldiers to escort the condemned prisoners as bait, and the rest of the army would quietly go to Jinhua (Wuzhou) to form an encirclement and trap the robbers in the prison. Unexpectedly, he was drafting an urgent official letter for eight hundred miles.

I made a mistake in writing the word "dark tone" instead of "urgent tone". As a result, Fan Zhendong immediately ordered the captain of Qifu to immediately transfer his cavalry to the Wucheng area.

The dark tone turned into an urgent tone. Just one word difference, and the result was different. Naturally, they quickly alerted the "turtle" they wanted to catch, and they were bitten by the "turtle" and turned their backs on their feet.

The Ministry of War is not like the Ministry of Punishment, which frequently sends people down to investigate cases, and the people below are not as afraid of this and that as the county magistrates and governors. No, as soon as Huang Yuanxing's ministry was attacked, Fan Zhendong immediately sent an eight hundred-mile letter to the Minister of War.

An urgent letter to convey the strange incident that just happened.

"What?" The Minister of War heard that Huang Yuanxing's cavalry was suddenly attacked by a mysterious object, and a large number of cavalry were injured. Six of them died of serious injuries. After that, they were so shocked that they stood reading the letter, but fell down on their chairs and trembled for a long time.

Then he pointed at Du Shi standing at the door with a trembling hand and shouted: "Quick, notify the Minister of Punishment to come here to discuss important matters."

After hearing the news, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice hurried over. As soon as he stepped into the inspection room of the Minister of the Ministry of War, he asked what happened.

"Something serious has happened." At this time, the Minister of War had returned to normal, and he said coldly.

"What's wrong?" the Minister of Punishment asked anxiously. At this time, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department was more concerned about the release of the two prisoners, and he didn't care about the rest at all.

"The troops who went to Wucheng to suppress the bandits were attacked by gods and suffered heavy casualties."

"God?" The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly tightened his heart. He looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War uneasily and asked: "Have the personnel and prisoners you sent to escort been attacked? What happened to the two death row prisoners? Were they kidnapped?

"

"That's not true." The Minister of War sighed: "It's the army I sent secretly. It seems that while chasing three horse thieves, they were suddenly attacked by gods. Six people were killed and nearly a hundred were injured."

"Since they are from the dark sect, why are they chasing those three horse thieves? Are they reporting to the gods?" The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is very familiar with the dark sect, but in this regard, the Minister of the Ministry of War is inferior to the big one.

"What do you mean?" Minister of the Ministry of War suffered a loss and felt uncomfortable, but it was not easy to have an attack.

"Since he belongs to the dark faction, he should go in quietly. Why did he cause earth-shattering consequences as soon as he entered?"

"Oh." The Minister of War seemed to realize something: "Yes, why didn't they secretly mobilize the troops to garrison according to my wishes?"

After saying that, the Minister of War immediately grabbed the writing brush on the desk angrily, spread out a page of writing paper, scrawled a line of words, and shouted: "Eight hundred miles urgent, send immediately."

"Look," the Minister of Punishment looked at how the Minister of War wrote angrily to accuse General Fan. He shook his head and said, "Sending a large army to station a few thieves is a bit overkill, isn't it?"

"Is this killing a chicken?" the Minister of War said angrily: "Did you yourself also suffer a loss, so you came to drag me into the water?"

"How could that be possible?" The Minister of Punishment smiled awkwardly and unnaturally: "I just came to beg you because I felt weird after receiving an urgent letter from Sima Cong, the inspector general of Jiangnan Province."

"God, God," the Minister of the Ministry of War muttered one word repeatedly: "Is there really a God in the world?"

"There are no gods in the world. The gods only live in heaven and work for the Jade Emperor." The Minister of Punishment joked.

"Really?" The Minister of the Ministry of War looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice strangely: "Have you seen them?"

"No, I just heard what others said." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment said with a smile: "It is said that the heavenly soldiers and generals violated taboos in heaven. When the Jade Emperor was angry, he demoted them to the mortal world, and they became mortals."

"But where do mortals get such mysterious power?" the Minister of War asked disapprovingly.

"It seems that we still don't know the specific situation of what happened in Wucheng. We can only find out what happened after we get a reply to the urgent message you just sent."

"That's all we can do." The Minister of War sighed and said.

"Then I'm going back to my hometown." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice hurriedly compiled his farewell.

The Minister of War was busy returning gifts and seeing off the guests.

After returning home, the Minister of Punishment was still very uneasy. He had sent two groups of people to Wucheng, but now there was no news from either of them. Although he sent several urgent letters at 800 miles, there was still no reply. I don't know what happened.

Although he felt a little more at ease now that he was being escorted by the Ministry of War, this unexpected incident made him feel relieved again. Although they were only two death row prisoners, they also affected the entire Ministry of Punishment, because the background of the matter was "demotion of gods to earth."

"Rebellion case". Once he is robbed, the emperor will be alerted and people will be sent to investigate. Then the people he sent before will become the targets of the investigation. If they are investigated, he, the minister, will also be dragged into the rebellion.

He had to be tortured by Lai Junchen and others to send him to the West. This is why he was so worried and trying every means to evade responsibility.
