The sound of hoofbeats slowed down, and the besieging people and horses made way for a passage, and Baiqi rushed into the encirclement at a trot.
The visitor naturally attracted the attention of Yuan Gang and Su Zhao. After seeing who the visitor was, Yuan Gang frowned slightly, not expecting him to come.
Under the illumination of several moon butterflies, the appearance of the leader is not difficult to identify. It is Hu Yanwei with a beard on his face. He is wearing a cloak behind him and is covered in dust. It can be seen that he has been chasing all the way.
Hu Yanwei and Yuan Gang looked at each other, and drove their mounts forward slowly. Under the momentum of this lineup, they actually looked at them as if they were nothing, and regarded the surrounding troops as if they were nothing.
Because of this, Hu Yanwei at this moment seems to be different from the past, quite like a general!
This is the heritage of the family. The average noble son in the capital would be a little embarrassed and uncomfortable if he had never seen such a scene of mass killing. But he was different. He had been used to this scene since he was a child, and he was used to seeing his father and brother's words and deeds in this scene.
His behavior and his bones were naturally contaminated.
There is a collection of books at home, and no matter how poor the children are, they will look through them and smell the fragrance of books.
There are swords and guns in the family, and no matter how bad the children are, they will still play with them, and they will have some martial arts charm.
This is family tradition.
What the Huyan family brings to Huyanwei is not just this. Most people will go through a process of growing up and being accepted when they join the Xiaoqi Army. However, he is the son of Hu Yanwuhen. He is born to be regarded by the Xiaoqi Army as one of their own. As long as he comes, he will be treated as one of his own.
As one of the centers, he is destined to cross certain gaps as soon as he is born.
Huyanweile stopped his mount and stopped in front of Yuan Gang. The mount beneath him was panting heavily after running for a long distance.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Hu Yanwei asked with a straight face. He no longer had the laziness and playful smile of the past. What had happened and the situation in front of him made it difficult to smile playfully again.
Yuan Gang: "Does it make sense to ask this?"
Hu Yanwei's voice was a little louder, with a hint of anger, "Should I call you Brother An or Brother Yuan?"
Yuan Gang: "Is it important?"
Hu Yanwei: "The Huyan family treats you well. I treat you like a brother. Is this how you repay me? My father also values you very much. As long as you are willing to change your mind and come back with me, you will have a bright future waiting for you."
Yuan Gang: “I can’t go back.”
Hu Yanwei: "Why? I promise in front of the brothers of the Qiaoqi Army that everything can be forgotten and nothing has happened. Whatever happens, my Huyan family will be responsible for it. Come back with me!"
Su Zhao was a little surprised. He really didn't expect it. He had heard that the Huyan family admired Yuan Gang, but he didn't expect that they valued him so much.
Yuan Gang: "If I come with no other purpose, I can accept the general's kindness. Now that you know my identity, you should understand that I have already made a choice from the first day I came to Qijing.
.”
Hu Yanwei shouted: "Even if your body is shattered into pieces?"
"I hope you feel clear in your heart!" Yuan Gang replied calmly, then raised his hand and pointed at Su Zhao, "No matter whether I can escape or not, she has nothing to do with this matter. She was implicated by me, so please let her go."
Su Zhao was anxious, "Yuan Gang..."
Yuan Gang raised his hand to interrupt, "Live well and tell Mr. Tao that the Huyan family and I have no grudges. This is my personal choice. Mr. Tao will understand."
"You are so ignorant!" Hu Yanwei raised his finger and pointed at Yuan Gang and shouted angrily.
Yuan Gang looked at him, waiting for his answer.
The two sides in the confrontation fell into silence. After a while, Hu Yanwei raised his hand, took off a token, and threw it over.
Yuan Gang grabbed it and looked at it, not understanding what it meant.
Hu Yanwei gave an explanation: "Before you leave Qi State, if you encounter people from the imperial court who block you again, you can use this token to escape. If you encounter trouble, you can also use this token to ask for help from the imperial court."
After saying that, he turned his mount around, knocked the horse's belly hard with his heels, and shouted, "Let's go!"
He took the lead and broke out of the encirclement first, hunting in his cloak.
The accompanying guards chased him away.
Following the order, the large number of surrounding cavalry also turned their mounts and followed the general in pursuit of Hu Yanwei.
The boiling sound of horse hooves faded away, and the surrounding people and horses came and went like the wind, and they all evacuated in an instant.
Su Zhao was stunned. He looked around at the empty surroundings and was a little confused. The Knight Cavalry Army spent a lot of time, is this the result?
There are some things that are incomprehensible to a monk like her.
Yuan Gang watched the large group of people leave until there was no trace of them, and until the sound of hoofbeats disappeared, his lips tightened, and he squeezed the token in his hand hard, then turned his mount and said: "Let's go!"
A man and a woman continue to gallop under the moonlight...
It’s another new day inside the palace.
When Haoyuntu got up in the morning, he opened the door and stood under the eaves to stretch his muscles. Bu Xun, who was waiting at the door, extended his hand to invite him to have a meal.
On the way, Bu Xun reported: "That An Taiping, that is, Yuan Gang, was stopped by the general's men last night, but was released by the third general..." He detailed the news intercepted last night.
As for the three generals, it is the honorific title given to Hu Yanwei. Hu Yanwei did not enter the palace as a consort, but married Hao Qingqing in a dignified manner. Hao Qingqing married down and entered the Huyan family. There is a big difference. He became a consort.
People's futures are limited, even taking concubines and the like, but Hao Qingqing's marriage does not have this problem.
"Mobilizing thousands of troops and making such a big noise and then letting it go?" Hao Yuntu was a little surprised. He stopped in front of a pillar and thought for a while, then said slowly: "What is going on with this Yuan Gang that the General is so concerned about?
"
Bu Xun: "The school affairs desk is not clear either. I only know that this person is Niu Youdao's confidant. I have not learned about any other prominent or special deeds for judgment and consideration. However, it can be seen that the general has caused such a big fuss.
I didn’t mean to kill him, and I gave him the token to let him go. It seemed I wanted to tell that Yuan Gang that the general was fully capable of killing him, but he just didn’t want to! The general asked the three generals to send a favor to Yuan Gang.”
Hao Yuntu asked: "Didn't the eldest and second son of the Huyan family go?"
Bu Xun: "No."
Hao Yuntu smiled, "It seems that the general has made a decision and is determined to support my son-in-law. Very good!"
Bu Xun nodded slightly. From the copy of Baiyunjian last night, it could be seen that Huyan Wuhen had officially made his position clear.
"It is indeed against the rules to engage in reckless warfare in the capital. I'm afraid that Lao Wu will attack the general at today's court meeting. The general is sincere and we can't just sit idly by. Lao Wu, you can handle it." Haoyuntu said.
He lifted up his sleeves and strode away to have his meal in a good mood.
As said, before the meeting, Bu Xun was waiting inside the palace gate.
As soon as the limping Hao Yunsheng entered the palace gate, Bu Xun invited him aside and asked about what happened last night. Hao Yunsheng was naturally filled with indignation.
"My lord, please calm down. It's better not to pursue the matter in Baiyunjian."
"No investigation? There are laws for everything in the capital. If there is any fault in Baiyunjian, should it be arrested, killed or punished by the government to deal with it? What's the point of using the army rashly? Killing indiscriminately in front of the king without trial
Innocent, if there is no control over the soldiers and horses in the capital, what will happen if someone has evil intentions and wants to rebel? You must not say that His Majesty used the Cavalry Army for a brothel, what else do the government offices have to do? "
"My lord, some time ago someone smuggled a group of war horses out of the country with the intention of losing to Beizhou Shao Dengyun. After investigation, it was found that the boss of Baiyunjian was Su Zhao behind the scenes, and this Su Zhao also had a shady identity and was not allowed to be tried by the government.
, because Your Majesty feels that some things are better not to be made public knowledge. I have said this and leave first!" Bu Xun bowed his hands respectfully, turned around and left.
Hao Yunsheng stayed on the spot for a moment, and gradually felt a shuddering feeling coming over him. Only then did he realize that everything was under someone's control.
He had already instigated some court officials all night to join forces to attack Hu Yan Wuhen in the court hall today.
Not only to vent his anger, but also because this opportunity is rare, Hu Yan Wuhen actually went too far, which made many court officials feel uneasy. If Hu Yan Wuhen did the same to the court officials,
This kind of person with military power is terrible.
In fact, even if he didn't instigate it, the court officials would still make trouble. It was related to their own safety and interests. Who could sit back and watch?
However, now, someone has warned him that if he can't find a way to deal with the high officials of the imperial court, all the debts will be placed on him. Hu Yanwuhen will be fine by then. He is the one who will be in trouble, and he can justifiably and justly deal with him at any time.
He took it.
Only now did he realize that the power of the Western Courtyard that he had fought so hard for did not belong to him, but was firmly in the hands of others. He, the king of the Western Courtyard, was just a pawn in someone's hand. If necessary, let him
Going east, he dare not go west...
In a rushing river, Su Zhao took the lead, followed by Yuan Gang.
The trouble that was supposed to come finally came. People from Xiaoyue Pavilion came after them. Fortunately, Yuan Gang was alert and found something wrong while purchasing in Yichengguo, so he got rid of them in time.
However, after their whereabouts were exposed that time, it seemed that the two of them could no longer escape the pursuit. Finally, Su Zhao pulled him into the river and escaped all the way here.
Su Zhao, who was soaking in the water, lay on the shore and buried her head in tears.
Yuan Gang asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Su Zhao shook his head: "We can't run away."
Yuan Gang looked at the rapids flowing down the river: "Taking the water route should be useful. It seems to be working so far."
Su Zhao shook his head: "It's useless. The blind men are probably coming. The blind men can't detect where we are going. They should have reacted and sent people to intercept us. If we continue, we will definitely hit them in the river.
"
Yuan Gang asked: "What kind of blind man?"
Su Zhao: "I don't know what my real name is or where it comes from. I just know that I am born with a sensitive sense of smell and can follow the smell to find any target. The blind man is familiar with my smell. Along the way, he should have also felt your smell and
I'm together, we can't run away, it was me who hurt you."
She didn't know about the agreement between Niu Youdao and Xiaoyue Pavilion, otherwise she might have asked Yuan Gang to leave.
Yuan Gangli asked: "Didn't you say that Master Dao got rid of Xiaoyue Pavilion's pursuit? How did Master Dao do it? Could it be that he was so determined to pursue and kill without using the blind man you mentioned?"
When Shao Pingbo killed Ruan's mother and son, he was immersed in the training of his subordinates at that time, and missed a certain piece of information, otherwise he would definitely know the reason.
Su Zhao shook his head: "I don't know. It stands to reason that it was used. It could also be that your Taoist master was too weird and didn't leave any source for a blind man to identify. It is said that after he lived in a certain ranch, he used a torch.
He burned down the place where he lived, so cautiously that even a blind man would not be able to do anything."
