He looked back at the big city in front of him. This time, no one was following him or blocking him.
Ashnadur rode on horseback to the place where the Turkic warriors who followed him were stationed.
There are still some people waiting here, and some people left early.
Everyone cried with joy, thinking that Tiele would never come back.
After talking to these people about the arrangements for this time, Ashinadur didn't want to stay in the Guanzhong boundary for a moment. He spent half an hour cleaning up the place, and then took his people on the road, heading towards the direction of the Western Turks.
Last time I traveled a long distance to the Western Regions, this time I also have to travel a long distance to the Western Turks.
Along the way, you can see a row of horse-drawn carriages heading east on the official road from Longxi.
These carriages contained a lot of goods, which were piled up to a person's height. They were all wrapped in black leather to prevent them from being soaked by rain.
The freezing rain hit his face with ice particles, causing pain. Ashnadur and his men rode horses and ran for three miles, but there was still no one chasing them.
It gave him an unreal feeling, as if he was really free this time.
But when I saw the people escorting the goods, in addition to the guards and horses, there were also some clothes that were unique to Gaochang people.
At this moment, Ashinadur understood what Zhang Yang said. As long as the Foreign Affairs Council said a word, the Gaochang people could hunt him down.
During the first battle in the Western Regions, he had experienced the power of these Gaochang people. These people did not look like stragglers, but their fighting style was more like Guanzhong soldiers and horses.
On the other side of Chang'an City, the school grounds of the leading guards.
From time to time, thirteen-year-old Li Ke would take out the military training methods given by his brother-in-law and read them over and over again.
There are only a few sentences written above, and I have read them many times.
"Is there really no mystery behind what my brother-in-law said?" Li Ke said to himself.
There were fifteen soldiers standing in a row in front of him, and they had to stand like this for half an hour.
Li Ke felt helpless. This was the manpower given by General Yuchi Gong. He wanted to train his own troops, but these were the only soldiers he could give.
And these people are also the worst people selected by each team. They are tall, short, fat and thin.
"They all treat my goals as child's play." Li Ke felt unhappy.
Looking around the school grounds in front of him, Li Ke saw General Cheng Chumo coming to the school grounds with a man of similar age.
"I don't want to come here." Li Xiaoyi said loudly.
"If you want to be a hero, you must go through the training of the Weifu." Cheng Chumo led him into the school grounds.
Li Xiaoyi struggled unconvincingly, "I want to follow you, I don't want to be like my brother and be someone who doesn't care about the family all day long!"
Li Xiaoyi’s elder brother is Li Daoyan.
At that time, Li Daoyan conquered Tubo for a year and did not take care of his family. Li Xiaoyi was also at a rebellious age and would fight with a group of half-grown children all day long.
This kid is famous for fighting among children.
Cheng Chumo was very fond of him when he and Zhang Yang saw him on the streets of Dongshi.
At least he doesn't admit defeat and has the temperament to fight back every time, which is very good.
If you exercise first, you will become a good man later.
Cheng Chumo threw him on the ground. It was freezing rain, and Li Xiaoyi rolled over and was covered in mud.
He stood up and pushed Cheng Chumo, but he didn't push, "I want to follow you, I don't want to enter the Wei Mansion."
Cheng Chumo knelt down and looked at him, and whispered: "Your brother is a general now, so that he can protect you when you grow up."
Li Xiaoyi added: "I don't need my brother to protect me, I can fight."
This boy has a very tough temper. Cheng Chumo looked at the King of Shu approaching from a distance, bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, King of Shu."
Li Ke was wearing armor and stomach at the moment, and looked at Li Xiaoyi, who was about the same age as himself, "As a man, you should be proud to enter the Wei Mansion."
Li Xiaoyi glared and did not salute, "I won't come in."
Li Ke added: "My father said that only a man who comes from the Wei Mansion is considered a hero."
"Are you a hero?"
"certainly."
"Are you going to fight me?"
When Li Ke heard what he said, he took off his armor and threw it aside, rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Come!"
Li Xiaoyi rushed forward without saying a word and punched him.
Li Ke was caught off guard and was punched in the nose. He casually grabbed the opponent's hand and tripped him up with his kick.
Li Xiaoyi refused to admit defeat and grabbed the opponent's clothes.
Both children fell down in the mud and were rolling around.
Cheng Chumo watched with interest.
When the two children had no strength left, Li Xiaoyi stood up with difficulty and said, "You have some ability. My name is Li Xiaoyi."
Li Ke cupped his hands and said, "Li Ke."
"Let me practice for a few days, and I will beat you until you are convinced next time."
Li Ke stood up with a much more graceful appearance, put on his armor again and said: "I'll accompany you."
His Royal Highness, King of Shu, grew up in the army and had a strong sense of military service.
Li Xiaoyi was different. He had fought many times with local gangsters and idlers, and what he lacked was the righteousness in the Wei Mansion.
Cheng Chumo thought to himself, if this kid keeps fooling around like this, he really won't be able to get him back, and he will be an idle man wandering the streets in the future.
After all, he is still a member of the clan.
"Li Xiaoyi, if you can train in the leading guard for three years, I will let you follow a certain family. If you can't stand these three years, don't say you know a certain family when you go out." Cheng Chu asked silently: "Did you hear that?"
Li Xiaoyi wiped the mud off his face and said firmly, "You must keep your word."
Cheng Chumo pulled him over with a smile, "When three years are up, I will come to pick you up."
"That's a deal."
…
Li Ke looked at this scene suspiciously.
Cheng Chumo took him all the way to the Chinese army camp, where Li Daliang was. Usually General Yuchi Gong was the commander here, but he still had to take care of Zuo Wuwei, so he didn't come here often.
Lieutenant General Li Daliang has been guarding this place.
At that time, Li Daliang was also a soldier. After being defeated by the Wagang Army, he joined Li Yuan. Later, he was a member of the group that put down Wang Shichong's rebellion.
A general who can command a general.
There are not many people from the old days who still hold military power. He is one of them.
I just came back from the Western Regions a month ago and was appointed here.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Cheng Chumo carrying a child into the camp, Li Daliang asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Cheng Chumo put down Li Xiaoyi and said, "He is Li Daoyan's younger brother. He called Li Xiaoyi and said he wanted to join the army."
The brothers in Li Daoyan's family were all the sons of Li Shentong.
Thinking of this family, Li Daliang had another headache. This was the most difficult family to deal with. At any rate, their eldest brother Li Daoyan was promising and could conquer Tubo and made great achievements. At that time, he and Li Daoyan also fought against Songtsen in Tubo.
Dry cloth.
"Surfing into the army?" Li Daliang said with a smile: "The army will not accept such a young boy!"
Li Xiaoyi was unconvinced and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu can be in the army, why can't I?"
This boy's stubborn temper made Li Daliang take a breath. At first glance, he was a difficult child to deal with.
Li Daliang added: "To join the army, you must first go to Chang'an City to find Zhao Yin to register and make arrangements, and then hand it over to the Ministry of War for arrangements. You can't just come if you want."
Li Xiaoyi raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Chumo.
At this moment, Cheng Chumo was also stunned. He had never read any books, so how could he know the rules in the army.
Li Daliang was still sitting there leisurely, taking a sip of tea, and sneered: "Boy, you are half-grown and don't understand the rules."
Li Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee, "If I can't join the army, I can't follow Brother Chu Mo. I asked the general to take him in. It only takes three years."
A teenage boy still has such determination.
Li Daliang was moved. He put down his tea bowl and said, "The army is short of servants to wash clothes and prepare soldiers' armor. To do some chores, you don't have to go to Chang'an City to report. Are you willing to do these chores?"
Li Xiaoyi turned around and looked at Cheng Chumo, "I can do it!"
Li Daliang nodded and said, "Here comes someone."
Two soldiers in front of the tent walked in and bowed: "The general is here."
Li Daliang nodded and said, "Send this boy to do odd jobs."
"Here."
"My name is Li Xiaoyi!" he said still unconvinced.
When they left, Li Daliang still looked at Cheng Chumo, "I said your old man usually doesn't care about you, but you come and take care of the children in the camp. What do you mean?"
Cheng Chu thought to himself, "He is a good young man."
"Soldiers in the army dare not offend you. For the sake of your veteran, I won't argue with you. Not everyone can enter this important place in the army. This time, and the next time, you will be dealt with by military law."
Cheng Chumo cupped his hands and said, "There is still some soy sauce beef at home that I haven't finished yet."
As soon as these words came out, Li Daliang clicked his tongue and said, "They all say you are a loser, but I don't seem to be that cool either."
"When I get back to Chang'an, I'll have someone send some soy sauce beef to the general's house."
Li Daliang nodded, "I know, I will take care of this kid one more time. You can go back."
"Here."
Cheng Chumo walked out of the camp and saw the King of Shu, Li Ke, leading a few soldiers practicing something meticulously.
"One, two, one, let's go!" As Li Tai shouted loudly, more than a dozen soldiers walked in a twisted manner, looking very funny.
No matter how hard he practiced, he was so angry that Li Ke scolded him again.
Cheng Chumo looked at it and shook his head, then walked out of the camp.
In Chang'an City, inside the Dali Temple, it was originally thought to be another leisurely day. At this moment, Chu Liang was not in a good mood because more than a dozen idle men from Chang'an City were arrested and taken into the Dali Temple.
There is no leisure anymore, so now I have to deal with it.
Dali Temple is the best when there is nothing to do. Dali Temple is the only one among the six temples in the three provinces. The more free Dali Temple is, the more satisfied His Majesty is, which means that the security of Chang'an City is very good.
But now more than a dozen idle men were tied up and brought in front of him. This situation slapped Chu Liang hard. As a middle-aged man, he originally wanted to live a leisurely life and wait for retirement.
When I saw what happened before my eyes, I felt depressed.
"What have these people committed?" Chu Liang asked impatiently. Seeing that it was about to leave for work, there were cases to be tried at this time, and he was even more upset when he thought of this.
The officers and soldiers who brought the people handed over three or two bamboo scrolls, "It's all written on them."
Chu Liang watched carefully, his expression became solemn, and when he looked at the tied idle men in front of him, they all had their heads drooped.
"Who sent this?" Chu Liang asked.
"The person who came didn't say much. He just said that he was an ordinary citizen of Chang'an City, and that he couldn't get used to seeing these gangsters roam free."
Chu Liang's face was gloomy. Everyone in Chang'an City knew that there was such a group of people who bought braised pork all day long.
The braised pork is cheap, even half buy and half free.
And he also likes to help the strong and the weak and help others.
Their reputation has always been very good, and people in Kuhan are more willing to eat braised meat to satisfy their hunger. They can also eat meat and rice.
It's just such a group of people, seemingly idle, and it's not easy for the government to take care of them, lest they be pointed out.
Most likely it was these people who did it.
Chu Liang had a plan in his mind. Looking at the records in the file, he found that these people were the ones who committed crimes near Mang Mountain.
"You did all the things written here?"
Several of the tied people nodded.
Chu Liang stood up and said, "Who kidnapped you?"
These people looked horrified, "They broke into our home last night, beat us severely, took away all our money, and made us confess and be held in bondage."
"Who is it?"
"do not know."
"do not know?"
"We really don't know them. We have been around Chang'an City for so long and have made friends from all walks of life. Those people look familiar and they don't look like people from Chang'an City."
Chu Liang breathed heavily and realized that the matter was not simple, "You killed a family of five people?"
"Yes! We killed him."
"You're going to plead guilty?"
"If we don't plead guilty, those people won't let us go. We don't want to die. We can still live for a while in Dali Temple."
Chu Liang sat back in his seat and shouted: "When did you kill, why did you kill! How did you kill, tell me everything."
Just as the interrogation was about to begin, another clerk came over in a hurry and said, "Something happened to Chu Shaoqing again."
"Say." Chu Liang stared at the murderers in front of him, feeling angry and having nowhere to vent his anger.
"A manor house in Bashang was ransacked last night. Xu Yushi from Yushitai led his people there early in the morning. Together with Bashang County Magistrate, they inquired about the origin of the matter and found some things in the manor.
We also interrogated him and found that the county magistrate had nothing to do with this matter."
Chu Liang was surprised and confused, "What does it mean?"
The visitor lowered his tone, leaned over and said, "The matter involves the Minister of Household Affairs. Accounts and letters were found in his manor."
Chu Liang was about to exclaim, but he calmed down and swallowed. He held his forehead and looked confused, "Where is he?"
"We are almost at Chang'an City." The civil servant whispered: "Shaoqing, do we, Dali Temple, take care of this matter?"
The matter involves the Minister of Household Affairs, so it is no small matter.
There are also people from Yushitai, maybe Wei Zheng will come to ask questions.
"Damn it, don't allow people to be officials properly." Chu Liang cursed secretly, gritting his teeth, "Turn it over! It doesn't matter who is in charge of Dali Temple."
After saying this, Chu Liang felt something was wrong again, "I'll go see His Majesty first."
After saying that, he still felt something was wrong, so he walked back and asked, "Which censor did you just say?"
The literary official added: "It's Xu Yushi, the one who reported Yan Shigu."
Chu Liang calmed down again, "When someone comes, I will go with him to see His Majesty."
I was originally the temporary young minister, so I didn't prepare so much. Naturally, I couldn't neglect it because it was a matter of fate.
In an alley in the east city of Chang'an City, at home, Zhang Yang was playing chess with his wife, while Aunt Wang was narrating.
"It's a troubled autumn," Li Yue said with emotion.
With the power of Chumo, it is easy to check. Follow the idle gangsters in various streets in Chang'an City and interrogate them one by one. Use the day and approximate time of the death, compare the itinerary and interrogate each other, and explain to each other that they can follow the vines and find the melons.
"I heard that Chu Mo has a guy who is very good at interrogation." Zhang Yang whispered.
