In the afternoon, someone from Jiedushi's house came to ask for instructions on some official matters.
"Where is Mr. Liu?"
Yang Xuan was a little surprised and thought, shouldn't Liu Qing be the one to handle such matters?
The clerk said: "Liu Sima's eyesight is as wide as the lake."
This is being poisoned!
!
Who did it... Yang Xuan immediately thought of the expert on the mirror, "Here comes someone!"
"Mr. Lang!"
Lin Feibao and others came out.
A burst of evil spirit made the clerk tremble, "Deputy envoy, Sima's eyes are swollen!"
"Um?"
Yang Xuan stared at the clerk, feeling that his intelligence was being humiliated.
Old Liu is very old, and a storm is coming, how could he be so careless?
The clerk hesitated, but Yang Xuan got angry and said, "Say!"
The clerk was startled, "Recently, a woman fell in love with Liu Sima and waited outside the Jiedushi's mansion every day. Liu Sima's wife got angry and brought people to fight with the woman."
Old Liu... Yang Xuan looked at Han Ji in disbelief, and Han Ji nodded slightly, "I know that He Lianyan has checked that the woman does love Liu Sima, there is no doubt about it."
"Then why are Mr. Liu's eyes swollen?" Yang Xuan felt that this was the second spring for Mr. Liu.
This kind of thing will be a good story in Chang'an, and the decent lady will be proud of you. Look, my husband is very old, but there are still girls who like him.
Hey! This damn charm! Why can’t I stop it?
In essence, this is the step that the ladies of Zhengtou find for themselves after swallowing the bitter taste... The social atmosphere is here, and they can only choose to welcome it.
But this is Northern Xinjiang, and Liu Qing's wife chose to follow him to endure hardships. She was a wife of chaff.
A poor wife will not go to court!
Moreover, Lao Liu's old wife is quite tough, so this time, she was on the receiving end of a gun.
"Liu Sima went to break up the fight and received two punches."
Liu Qing arrived at Yang's house half an hour later.
"The weather is hot and I don't have much ice at home, so I came to your house today to enjoy it."
Lao Liu pretended to be free and easy, but his bruised right eye betrayed the fact that he was kicked out of the house.
"Let the kitchen prepare some good dishes." Yang Xuan arranged for good wine and good food, and the two men sat down to drink together.
Just as I was toasting, a horned dragon guard came in.
Seemingly ready to speak, Yang Xuan said: "Speak!"
Qiu Longwei stood up straight and raised his voice, "Two masters of the mirror came from outside the city. They were reported by the people. Zhou Jian killed them with one sword each."
Yang Xuan: "..."
He was thinking about asking Zhou Jian to submit a certificate of surrender, but he didn't expect this person to be so self-conscious.
After killing the two masters of the mirror, Zhou Jian will be Chang'an's enemy from now on, unless the pseudo-emperor line goes away.
This man is so knowledgeable!
Yang Xuan couldn't help but thank Lao Huang again for his recommendation.
The Qiu Long Guard did not leave.
"Have a drink?" Yang Xuan asked.
Liu Qing frowned, feeling that Yang Xuan was too close to the guard and too casual.
It's like a family.
After finishing talking about the business, Qiu Longwei said with a smile: "No. By the way, Sir, Zhou Jian's cultivation level..."
He gave a thumbs up.
He won't be a top-notch player!
A storm is coming, and once things break up with Chang'an, Yang Xuan will have to be careful when coming in and out from now on.
At this time, what he wants most is a good hand.
Tu Shang's level?
Yang Xuan asked: "How high? How about being with Lao Huang?"
Qiu Longwei said: "It's hard to say."
grass!
Make money!
Make a fortune!
Yang Xuan raised his glass and said with a glowing face: "Mr. Liu, drink!"
Liu Qing was also happy for him and took a sip of wine. "Be careful when traveling in the future. Not only is Beiliao trying to kill you, but so is Chang'an."
"I'm afraid they won't be able to take it away!" Yang Xuan ate a piece of roast mutton and felt that the heat was a bit too high and the cook seemed to need to beat it.
Liu Qing took a sip of his drink and said, "Here come the two mirror men. This is the outpost."
"It's true and false!" Yang Xuan smiled.
"Tian Xiao is playing art of war with you, I just want to laugh just thinking about it." Liu Qing burst into laughter.
Master, take it easy!
Yang Xuan quickly toasted.
Liu Qing held the wine glass and said, "Oh! Happy old man! He is playing with you in the art of war, but you don't know that you have been wary of this trick for a long time and scattered many people outside the city. Isn't this a way to get yourself killed? Hahahaha!"
Yang Xuan smiled slightly, "Those people have been in Chang'an for a long time, but they don't know the world."
However, he will not underestimate the enemy.
"Someone is coming!"
"Lang Jun." A Qiu Long Guard came in.
"Inform Han Ji and arrange for someone to find Tian Xiao and others."
"Is it secret or..."
"Just do it in a big way, don't worry."
He was about to be torn apart, what was he afraid of?
When the Qiu Long Guard went out, Liu Qing sighed, "Are you trying to force them to fall out?"
"If the mountain doesn't come, I'll be there; if I go, it'll be the mountain!"
Yang Xuan raised his glass and said, "Mr. Liu, please take good care of yourself. We still have a long way to go from now on! It's still a long way!"
Liu Qin raised her glass, "How far is it?"
Xiao Zai Zi never told him about his ambitions, so Liu Qing was a little curious.
"The sea of stars!"
…
Tian Xiao and others are now just over a day's journey from Taoxian County.
It would have been earlier, but Tian Xiao let everyone rest for more than an hour in the morning, saying that he was waiting for someone.
"Zhang Yi and I should have one, where is the person?"
Tian Xiao reined in the horse, followed by hundreds of riders, and the horse suddenly neighed.
Ahead is a small river with a bridge on the river. On the bridge is a farmer leading his cow home.
The farmer carried the hoe and walked slowly, but extremely leisurely.
Birds flew through the air, chirping. One bird even landed on the cow's back, pecked it a few times, and then flew away again, probably because it thought there was nothing tasty to eat.
The setting sun reflects all this, making people intoxicated.
Tian Xiao was just intoxicated for a moment.
"Someone is coming!"
More than a hundred riders came from afar.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was rapid, and more than a hundred horses stopped on the other side of the bridge.
Everyone is armed with a sword and a bow and arrow.
Behind the leading man, two sergeants carrying sacks stood out.
"Scholar Tian, that's Wang Laoer, Yang Gou's confidant!" Behind him, the stake on the mirror stage introduced him in a low voice.
"I know." Tian Xiao looked at Wang Laoer, "It is said that this person is a bit stupid and is the most loyal to Yang Xuan."
"Yes." Zhuangzi flattered him out of habit, "You are so wise."
"Is this how Wang Shou always teaches you to wait?"
Tian Xiao shook his head and held back his vulgar comments.
The mirror can make all the officials change their expressions, but it does not include him, the emperor's favorite.
Zhuang Zi laughed dryly, not daring to direct his anger at this person.
Fang Yuzhe, the person in charge of the mirror, stepped forward and said, "Bachelor, why don't you rush over? No matter how courageous Yang Gou is, he won't dare to attack us."
Tian Xiao squinted his eyes, "Chang'an is too big to block the news. At this moment, Yang Xuan must have received the news that I am waiting for you. Do you know why I am stranded halfway?"
Fang Yuzhe shook his head, he really didn't know.
"I'm waiting for Yang Xuan's response. If he sends people to take action, then he has a backlash. If there is nothing to say, I will immediately send people back to report to His Majesty and prepare for a large army to attack."
Tian Xiao smiled, "But it was calm in the morning, which shows that he is timid."
This man has some real talents!
Everyone secretly admired this man's methods.
Fang Yuzhe said: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for many years. In today's prosperous times, who dares to rebel?"
Tian Xiao nodded, "If you are planning to rebel at this time, you don't need Chang'an to send a large army. The officials and soldiers in Northern Xinjiang can capture him alive. Hahahaha!"
He laughed loudly and deliberately.
I just want to test the other person's reaction.
Wang Laoer picked his ears and asked, "Have you drunk too much?"
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Tian Xiao was not angry and said: "Go and be alone."
A follower rode towards the bridge.
"Look what he dares to do!"
The confrontation at the beginning was a test, and sending people to go now is a further test.
Fang Yuzhe nodded and said to his companion Zhao Jiu: "No wonder he is valued by His Majesty."
Zhao Jiu nodded, "With this method, you can do something good in the court."
Ahead, just as the entourage rode up to the bridge, Wang Laoer also shouted and rode off.
This stone bridge is not too narrow and can accommodate a carriage. If two horses go up, it won't be a big problem if you are careful.
The attendant stared at Wang Laoer's hand.
According to rumors, this man likes to harvest human heads, and the two sergeants behind him wearing sacks are his assistants.
Therefore, the entourage stared at Wang Laoer's hand on the handle of the knife. Once he drew the knife, without a second thought, let's jump into the river!
The rest of the matter will be left to Master Tian to negotiate.
Suddenly, a horse face appeared in his sight.
Wang Laoer's horse suddenly bared its teeth at his horse.
His horse was a little panicked.
No!
It’s a panicked group!
"Bite it!" Wang Laoer smiled happily.
The war horse really opened its mouth and took a bite.
Ilulu!
The horse neighed and rolled into the river with its followers.
Plop!
The water splash picked up a large piece.
Wang Laoer reined in his horse on the bridge and looked at Tian Xiao and others.
"What does this mean?" Some people were confused.
"I didn't take action." Tian Xiao smiled, "I guessed what Yang Xuan was thinking. This person must be timid, but he refused to give up his power, so he asked people to demonstrate. No, it was to show off his power."
"Scholar Tian, then let's..."
"There's no rush." Tian Xiao smiled, "As long as I wait until I get to Taoxian County and reveal my identity, what will happen to the Northern Xinjiang Army? Can I still follow him and rebel?"
——We are safe!
This is the bottom line!
Tian Xiao told the bottom line, and everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.
Although I was prepared before I came here, who wants to take risks?
There are dozens of big men under Yang Gou's command, and it is said that they are unparalleled in their charge into the formation.
For this reason, Chang'an gave them hundreds of warriors, the dozens of men who were going to confront Yang Gou.
Plus a good hand at the stage, and...
Fang Yuzhe glanced at the two old monsters in the palace who were silent behind them and seemed to be enveloped in a layer of gloomy energy. He felt a little more confident about this trip.
Last time, there was an old monster Chu He in the palace, who was beaten to death by Ning Yayun. This time they came with two people, and these two people were sharp weapons against Ning Yayun.
Ning Yayun is Yang Xuan's most trusted expert. He was held back by two old monsters, and dozens of big men were held back by those tough soldiers. What else could Yang Gou do?
Fang Yuzhe felt relieved.
Time passed, and when the sun was about to set, Wang Laoer rode back.
"Let's go! Go home for dinner!"
"Cowardly people!" someone cursed.
Then everyone crossed the river.
Because there was a large car accompanying them, their speed was far slower than Wang Laoer.
Before dark, they only found one village.
“We’ll camp here tonight!”
When everyone entered the village, someone went to find the village leader.
"What?"
"We are from Chang'an!"
Muramasa was confused and pointed at his ears with his fingers, "My ears are not good, what do you say? Louder!"
"We are from Chang'an!"
"Oh! Where are you from? Guang'an?"
The clerk who was negotiating wanted to vomit blood and shouted: "We are from Chang'an! Chang'an!"
Muramasa picked his ears, "The villain heard it, isn't it Guang'an!"
"It's Chang'an! Chang'an!"
Muramasa shook his head, "I know, Guang'an, Guang'an. But Guang'an has nothing to do with us, you all want to stay overnight..."
He looked at everyone and said, "I'm so sorry, I don't know you!"
"Give him the paperwork."
"I can't read."
"Can you recognize the word Chang'an?"
"I only recognize the names of myself and my wife and children, oh! And the word Beijiang."
Someone cursed: "This person did it on purpose!"
Muramasa shouted: "A strong man is coming!"
Clang clang clang!
Immediately there were shouts in the village, and then villagers came one by one with various weapons.
Young and strong!
elder!
woman!
Even Te Niang’s children are here!
There was also a group of dogs that rushed to the front and roared at them.
This village is incredible!
"Kill a few of them!" The man with the mirror sneered.
Tian Xiao shook his head, "Unless we kill them all, if one escapes, Yang Xuan can use this to cause trouble. Northern Xinjiang will be boiling. And we will become sinners."
"Walk!"
A group of people left the village and had to sleep outdoors tonight.
Someone suddenly realized, "Then Wang Laoer is guarding the bridge and not letting us pass. Is that intentional?"
Tian Xiao nodded, "This means we can only sleep in the open tonight!"
In the village, the village leader called two young men, "You two go to Taoxian County. When you see officials or sergeants, tell the deputy envoy that there is news about Chang'an and go quickly!"
An old man squatted beside him, under the oil lamp, looking at the wrinkles on his face that were rougher than tree bark, "Muramasa, these people are probably sent by His Majesty."
Muramasa sneered and said: "What about your Majesty? Where was he when we were suffering in Northern Xinjiang?"
The old man coughed dryly, "That's the emperor!"
"The emperor is the emperor, and we haven't killed anyone! What are they here for? They want to kill Deputy Ambassador Yang.
Hey! Just think about it, without Deputy Ambassador Yang, how could we borrow seed money without interest?
Without Deputy Yang, can we buy food at low prices?
As a human being, you have to be conscientious!"
"The Dog Emperor!"
"That's right, Dog Emperor!"
The common people in the mountains and fields revere the imperial power as if they were gods. But when the imperial power stands on their opposite side, these common people in the mountains and plains will use the simplest dialectics to decide their position.
Simple!
But it points directly to people’s hearts!
But carnivores!
They have no intention!
Therefore, it is impossible to guess what these ant-like people are thinking.
On the afternoon of the second day, when he saw Taoxian County, Tian Xiao said: "Send someone to inform Yang Xuan."
As the emperor's envoy, Yang Xuan should go out of the city to greet him.
Someone passed by and was intercepted by a sergeant.
After verifying your identity...
"search!"
The official was furious, "Dare you?"
The old soldier took the knife out of its sheath and said with a ferocious smile: "Recently, there are often Northern Liao Eagle Guards pretending to be officials from the Tang Dynasty coming to spy, and the documents are exactly the same. Can you try beeping again? If you beep again, I will treat you as a Northern Liao official.
Eagle Guard."
The officer shut up, raised his hands, and let them search him.
"This is a show of force." Tian Xiao sneered.
He doesn't care about this.
The officials entered the city and arrived at the Jiedu envoy's residence, where they met Yang Xuan.
"meet?"
Yang Xuan raised his eyes and saw the official's disdain.
