Guan Fu felt that his life was really miserable, and nothing good would happen to him every time he met Su Ren. If nothing else, the news he got from Su Ren was enough to make him worried. What was it like in his hometown of Yingchuan?
, to say that he didn’t know, not to mention that the emperor didn’t believe it, he didn’t believe it either. Forced buying and selling, murder and corpse destruction, collusion between officials and businessmen, etc. All the things written in the laws of the Han Dynasty, except for treason, almost everything else
Did it all over.
Guan Fu not only wrote a letter, but even went back to talk about it. On the surface, the family nodded and agreed, and it was still the same after he left. Guan Fu was also worried about this in the past, for fear that the censor would get him in front of the emperor and cause trouble.
My official position was not guaranteed. However, after one, two, three, five, and ten years passed, my worries were gone.
Lowering his head, the sword in his waist was given by his eighth uncle from his hometown. I heard it was one of the swords used by King Gou Jian of Yue. The jade pendant was given by his nephew to congratulate him on his fiftieth birthday.
You can tell from the material and feel of the carvings that they are worth thousands of dollars. That’s because I am light-hearted. The robe on my body, the armor on the outside, the hairpin on my head, the fast boots on the soles of my feet, and even the close-fitting silk middle coat are all from the clan.
A gift from a stranger. I didn’t think these things were valuable before. After listening to Su Ren’s words, I felt uncomfortable wearing these things again.
Guan Fu wanted to find a fast horse to rush back to Yingchuan, and severely teach the culprits who caused his family to be exterminated, hoping to reduce the emperor's anger. However, he lost the criminals ordered by the emperor.
, after repeated considerations, Guan Fu had to stay. As long as he was willing to pay for the Yingchuan matter, there might be room for change. If Su Ren lost the matter, even if he had ten more heads, it wouldn't be enough.
The last time we were in the Yellow River, this time it was still the Yellow River. Guan Fu was about to cry but had no tears. He gritted his teeth and scrambled to get the first soldier to rush forward, but was stopped by Li Xi: "Master Wei, why are you in a hurry? This place is surrounded on three sides.
There is water and there are huge cliffs. There is only one way to go. Just wait! When they beg us."
Guan Fu glared at Li Xi. This boy was originally a small captain of the Royal Forest Army. Unexpectedly, he followed the emperor to the north and suddenly transformed into a general. Guan Fu worked hard through life and death, and now he is still here.
He is just a guard. Although his official position has reached the ninth rank, his actual power and talent are incomparable to those of a general: "General Li is naturally not in a hurry. The order I received is to send Su Ren to Chang'an in ten days. It is a crime to exceed the deadline."
Is it you or me?"
"Hahaha, the old general is joking!" Although Li Xi said it modestly, the expression on his face was not: "His Majesty actually sent the commander-in-chief here. Naturally, he has already thought that this would be the situation. Maybe his will is here.
On the way, it is only four hundred miles from here to Chang'an. A quick horse will arrive there in one day. After three days, the old general will wait for three days. If your majesty's decree has not yet arrived, how about I order people to attack the mountain immediately?"
Li Xi brought a lot of soldiers and horses this time, apparently five thousand. Among them, there were more than a thousand imperial guards. Not to mention the hundreds of horse thieves from the thorns, even if there was an army of ten thousand, they would not be able to charge down easily. Ying Guang
Ji personally led people to see the situation set up by the army. The defense was tight and had a military feel, so the chance of breaking through was very small.
Seeing time passing by, Guan Fu became more and more anxious. Things in Chang'an, things here, and things back home were not easy to deal with, and they all carried risks. The old man also did something like this when he first came here.
Some assumptions were that if he was unfortunately killed while rescuing Su Ren, the emperor might leave a trace of blood to the Guan family because of his past loyalty. Unfortunately, Li Xi did not give him this opportunity.
Three days is a test for everyone, including those on the mountain and those at the foot of the mountain. No one on either side can let down their guard. The people at the foot of the mountain are worried that the people on the mountain will suddenly rush down and escape, and the people on the mountain are also worried about the sudden attack by the people from the mountain. They are both raised by their parents, and they only have one life.
, I will never give it away unless I have to. Today is the third day, the day agreed by Li Xi and Guan Fu, and also the day agreed by the army at the foot of the mountain and everyone on the mountain.
Riding on the horse, Guan Fu kept urging the horse to go faster. Li Xi waved his hand to blow away the dust raised by Guan Fu's horse: "Old general, don't worry, it's only one day at noon today. It's still early. It's not good to scare the snake away."
Already."
Guanfu reined in his horse, turned around and opened his mouth but no words came out. He suddenly said angrily: "You are so bold, Li Xi, that you dare to make good use of His Majesty's dragon flag. Do you know that this is transgression!"
Li Xi turned around. The five-clawed golden dragon flag was fluttering in the wind, majestic, and instantly outshone all the surrounding flags. Li Xi was not afraid or worried, and laughed twice: "Oh, the dragon flag
It's a gift from Your Majesty! I didn't strike it out easily. Old General, please don't misunderstand me. I have never done anything arrogant, and I dare not go behind Your Majesty's back to do anything wrong!"
Li Xi said the last sentence in an understatement, but Guan Fu was frightened when he heard it. Suddenly he had a bad premonition. Why was Su Ren suddenly taken away when he was about to arrive in Chang'an? And before Su Ren was taken away,
What did he say? Also, he has also fought in a war. The key to fighting is to work hard at one go. Li Xi also knows soldiers and people, but he has to wait here for three days? Could it be that...
Noon is the hottest time of the day, but the temperature at Longmenkou is not hot at all. The roaring Yellow River is at your feet, and the neat army is in front of you. Everything in front of you is the same as the current weather, chilling!
Jingjing was holding a broadsword in one hand and stood at the front of the team. On the left was Ying Guangji, on the right was Su Ren. Opposite were the dark layers of officers and soldiers. The three of them didn't look like they were here to negotiate with the officers and soldiers, but more like
He is a righteous man who died generously.
Li Xi and Guan Fu came on horseback. Because of the terrain, they could sit on the horses and talk to the thorns on an equal footing: "The biggest horse thief in the Western Region is a cloud, the god king on the plateau, oh, and the hussar general! You three, I'm polite.
Got it!"
"Hmph! If you have something to say, let it go. If you dare to say something unpleasant, the knife in Grandpa's hand will not recognize anyone!"
Li Xi nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty's words!" He looked up at the three of them. Jingji and Ying Guangji didn't react at all. Su Ren just glanced at him. Li Xi continued, "Horse thieves are rampant and causing trouble in the capital."
, plunder the important officials of the imperial court, and order you to release the hussar general immediately, otherwise the army will annihilate them and destroy them all!"
Jingjia laughed loudly: "What a loud tone! If you have the ability, come and do it!"
Su Ren grabbed the bramble that was about to rush out and coughed: "General Li, I'm afraid you are mistaken. This general, Brother Jing and Young Master Ying are old friends. They heard that I was passing by here on my way back to Chang'an, so they went out of their way to
I came here for a while, but there was no talk of plundering! In addition, although Brother Jing is a horse thief, he has also made great contributions to our great Han Dynasty. Now he is always on guard in the Western Regions to guard against the Western Huns and the Western Regions people. It is for my great Han Dynasty that he traveled thousands of miles.
I came here just for friendship and did nothing to disturb the people along the way. I wonder who said that Brother Jing is causing trouble in the capital?"
Although Su Ren's words were not long, they were well-founded and did not sound wrong. Before Li Xi and others could react, Su Ren continued: "Besides, your Majesty also met Mr. Ying when he was outside the Great Wall.
General Li should have been present at that time! Your Majesty didn't even deal with Young Master Ying, so why should General Li Xi be in trouble?"
Li Xi was stunned, Su Ren's words could be big or small. If he was really unfavorable to Ying Guangji, either it would be difficult for him, Li Xi, to falsely pass on the imperial edict and trap the emperor, or the emperor would go back on his word without even realizing it.
Su Ren smiled slightly: "I would like to ask General Li, you didn't come here just three days ago in this posture, right? There is no need to hide it, you and I are the ones leading the troops. I can still see clearly when to station. With me
My observation has been here for at least ten months. I was still in Jinyang at that time, right? And General Li can predict what will happen today, which is really incredible, and His Majesty’s will is in his mind, which is amazing!"
"So it's your kid who wants to frame me?" Guan Fu's reaction was not slow. He heard some clues from Su Ren's words. He immediately grabbed him and turned the gun pointed directly at Li Xi: "I was here ten months ago, saying that you were
Are you going to ambush me or is it for today's matter? If you don't know clearly, you will have to ask your majesty for comment even if you risk your life." Turning around, Guan Fu drew his sword and pointed it at Li Xi: "Tell the truth! Who sent you?
Coming?"
"You, you guys!" Li Xi couldn't help but take two steps back. After all, he is a general who has just risen, and cannot compare to Guan Fu and Su Ren, who have been in battle for a long time and have a higher reputation in the army. Li Xi stepped back.
, the morale of his soldiers immediately dropped by three points. He steadied his steps and said, "Huh! I am here under your Majesty's order. I have the dragon flag as proof. It doesn't matter what day I came. The key is to catch you and other horse thieves and thieves."
Rebel!"
"Bullshit on your mother! Who is the rebel?" Guan Fu was furious. At this time, the word "rebel" was the word he couldn't get used to hearing the most. He opened his eyes wide and exuded murderous intent: "You piece of shit, you're lying.
Your Majesty's decree is to murder me and the Hussars General under the instructions of others. Why do you continue to fight when the matter is revealed?"
"Kill..." Jingjia shouted, and the horse thief behind him shouted immediately without any hesitation. For a moment, the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they even retreated.
Guan Fu shouted: "Li Xi pretended to pass on the imperial edict and secretly attacked the dragon flag. He was ordered to ambush the Hussars General, the number one hero of the Han Dynasty, again. Brothers, do you want to follow?"
No one answered.
"Want to follow?"
"Don't...!" First a few people, then dozens of people, and when the shouts drowned out the roar of the Yellow River, Li Xi's back was soaked with cold sweat.
The situation is over! These were Li Xi's last words before he left. Thanks to his quickness in seeing opportunities, if it had been that late at night, he would have died here. The roar of the camp is very scary. When everyone is red-eyed, you can't tell the difference between friend and foe.
, not to mention him, a general. He ran five miles in one breath. After making sure that no one was following him, Li Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Longmenmen.
"General, what should we do next?" The deputy general stood beside Li Xi and followed Li Xi's eyes towards Longmen.
Li Xi was silent for a long time and said, "Let's go! Chairman An will tell you, we failed to complete His Majesty's errand, so we will be punished!"
"But..., how to explain this?" The deputy general was a little worried: "Is this the end of the five thousand army? According to military law, anyone who escapes without authorization will be cut in half!"
"Humph! It's not certain who will be cut in half!" He suddenly turned around and said, "Start immediately and rush back to Chang'an without stopping! Let's go!" (To be continued)
