Chapter 65?? Tiger Eagle Gang
It only takes more than ten days, and it will not affect his itinerary of Li Yan.
Besides.
Even if it takes only a few months, there are still two months left. With such a long time, you can climb to Xichuan even if you climb.
As long as you pass Dasan Pass and take a boat down the river, you can go straight to Yuzhou.
This journey is definitely very fast.
Even if it is slow, it is just a journey from Yuzhou to Yizhou, after all, it is going upstream.
so.
Li Yan is ill to the outside world. First, he is to wait for news, and second, he is also to see what Gao Tiande's reaction is.
This is not.
When the news of Li Yan's illness was just spread, Gao Tiande was surprised and hurried to the camp where Li Yan was located for questioning.
"Your Highness King Ying, it has been more than ten days since you rushed from Chang'an to Dasan Pass. Now that you are sick again, you will have to take more than ten days of responsibilities. Your Highness King Ying doesn't want to go to Xichuan to work, right?" Gao Tiande, who was standing outside the barracks, asked inside with a lot of worries.
But Li Yan didn't say a word and gave a wink at Xu Jing beside him.
Xu Jing nodded, left the barracks, and raised his chin, "Eunuch Gao, my highness is sick. As an internal servant, you don't need to ask an imperial physician. You will come here first to question my highness. If you don't know, you think Eunuch Gao is Your Majesty."
"Rareless! You are worthy of talking to our family. Be careful that our family will take your life." Gao Tiande's eyes were filled with anger when he heard Xu Jing's words.
But Xu Jing asked again with his chin: "You are really as my highness said, birdless things. Birdless things are worthy of being with us, and I feel unlucky."
"You!!! Come on, take him down! Today I will teach you well for Li Yan." Gao Tiande was furious.
How could he stand it if a little guard dared to say that?
But just when Gao Tiande's people were about to come up and take action, Liu Tianming and others who were with Xu Jing surrounded him with their personal guards, with provocative expressions on their faces, and they were not afraid of Gao Tiande at all.
There is a way that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is better to be in charge than to be in the current official position.
In Chang'an, Xu Jing and others will pay attention.
But when you leave Chang'an City and come outside, you, Gao Tiande, is a servant of the emperor, or Wang Shoucheng's people, Xu Jing and others will no longer give him any face.
This was what Li Yan told him.
If he really loses his face, Xu Jing and the others will have to be punished.
When Gao Tiande saw this, he became a little timid.
Pointing at Xu Jing and others, "You, you want to rebel but you can't."
"Haha, my highness said, if anyone dares to be disobedient on the road, let us greet him and let him know who is the biggest here." Xu Jing said with a smile.
Gao Tiande knows.
It is not the time to take action now, so although there is a hint of hatred in my eyes, I dare not act rashly. I can only think ruthlessly in my heart. ‘Hmph, let you be proud for a few days first, and wait for me. After passing Luzhou, I must let you know how the word "death" is written.’
Gao Tiande finally lost his power, and shook his sleeves hatefully and took his people away.
When Xu Jing and others saw that Gao Tiande was in a good position, they all laughed loudly, which made Gao Tiande, who had not yet walked away, gritted his teeth with hatred.
If it weren't for their attack, Gao Tiande would have killed the people in front of him immediately, so that he could vent his hatred in his heart.
After Gao Tiande left, Xu Jing and others walked into the barracks and smiled at the situation just now and told Li Yan, "Your Highness, you didn't see it. Gao Tiande thought this was Chang'an and dared to come and question Your Highness. Although our position is low, it is not something he can bully. Your Highness, we have not lost your face this time."
"That's good. In the future, Gao Tiande is just a birdless thing, so he has no right to talk to you. When the news comes, you will definitely ask you to greet him. Gao Tiande wants to follow me to Chengdu Prefecture. When we arrive at Chengdu Prefecture, we will build a quiet room and lock him Gao Tiande inside for an hour or two every day so that he can enjoy it, hahahaha." Li Yan doesn't care about what a eunuch is like.
On status and identity.
Gao Tiande is just a slave, and it is not worth killing him by Li Yan.
but.
Let Xu Jing and others play, this is also a good choice.
In the next few days.
Li Yan doesn't leave the barracks every day. The accompanying imperial physician comes to take Li Yan's pulse every morning, and then asks someone to send the medicine into the barracks on time and then come out empty bowls. This creates the illusion of being really sick for everyone.
Ten days passed like this.
Day 10.
No news came.
On the eleventh day, no news came.
On the twelfth, there was still no news.
On the 13th day, this is the case.
Li Yan has never left the barracks, nor has he been on the road.
This made Gao Tiande even more convinced: Even if Li Yan went to Xichuan, he would probably use his illness to delay time in order to get back to Chang'an.
Until this fourteenth day.
Li Yan, who was waiting a little anxiously at Dasan Pass, finally saw Shi Kuan running towards him and shouted in a low voice, "Your Highness, the news is here."
"Hurry, tell me quickly, how about it?" Li Yan was anxious.
It's almost half a month since I left the barracks. If he waits any longer, Li Yan even doubts whether he will suffer from depression.
Shi Kuan took the lead at Xu Jing on the side.
Xu Jing understood and took people out and surrounded the barracks within several feet of the surrounding area. Whenever he saw someone approaching, he would scold him to stay away.
Even if it is the Pass General and others in Dasan Pass.
In the barracks, Shi Kuan replied to Li Yan in a low voice: "Your Highness, Ma Du's message said that the Tiger Eagle Gang and others hired by Chang'an City have arrived in Luzhou, and they have also found the people from Beisi near Luzhou."
"Luzhou? Why is it Luzhou? As far as I know, the land type is not suitable as an ambush point. How could the people from Beisi choose there?" Li Yan didn't react for a moment when he heard this news.
Shi Kuan shook his head, "I don't know this, but the Luzhou area is low in the north and high in the south, and the waterway is well developed, so it is indeed the best ambush place there."
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded and thought secretly in his heart.
When Li Yan thought that Luzhou was the last stop from Xichuan, he gradually understood.
In Luzhou, there is the Zhongjiang River in the north and the Yangtze River in the east. After dozens of miles, there is also a river in the south.
Anyway.
It is indeed the best to set the land of Luzhou as an ambush point.
As long as Li Yan and his group can pass through Luzhou safely, once they enter Xichuan, Guo Zhao will send someone to greet him. The people sent by Wang Shoucheng probably have no chance.
"How many people did the Tiger Eagle Gang mobilize?" After Li Yan knew the ambush location, he asked about the people hired by Ma Du and the others.
Shi Kuan thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the Tiger Eagle Gang is a large gang in Chang'an, with a population of nearly 5,000. This time, Ma Zhong spent a lot of money to hire 3,000 of them out of the mountain."
"Huh... so many people. It seems that I have underestimated these gangs in Chang'an City. If I have the chance in the future, I will have to put them together." Li Yan was really shocked when he heard that there were so many people in a gang.
Chapter completed!
