Wang Junlin jumped off his horse with equal joy and greeted him: "Yuan Qing, our brothers have indeed not seen each other for a long time."
The two hugged each other, and Pei Yuanqing said: "Brother Wang, seeing that you haven't arrived yet, my younger brother came over in advance to greet you on the order of his father. What's going on? Could it be that you were ambushed?"
Wang Junlin sneered and said: "That's right, we were ambushed by 10,000 fine cavalry."
Pei Yuanqing's face changed drastically and he lost his voice: "Who is he? He is so brave."
"Who else could it be, my enemy?" Wang Junlin looked serious and asked, "What's going on in the capital?"
Pei Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and said: "It's nothing! The prisoner presentation ceremony has been prepared. From Your Majesty on down, the civil and military officials and princes of the entire court are waiting to welcome you at the East City Gate!"
"Prince, Yu Wenshu, are Yang Xuangan among those waiting to greet you?" Wang Junlin asked after a moment of deep thought.
Pei Yuanqing thought for a moment and replied: "They are all here!"
"By the way, when I left the city, the eldest princess sent a eunuch to come with me. He said he wanted to see you on something important." Pei Yuanqing remembered something and glanced behind him.
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed: "The people sent by the eldest princess..."
The beautiful face of Yang Lihua, a mature woman, and the craziness on the bed emerged in his mind, and his heart suddenly became hot. He thought that he had not seen this woman for two years, and this woman still had not forgotten him...
An eunuch hurried over, saluted Wang Junlin respectfully, and said: "On the order of the eldest princess, I sent a letter from Her Royal Highness to Qin An Gong."
As he spoke, he quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Junlin.
This eunuch Wang Junlin had met Yang Lihua, and he was indeed the person beside Yang Lihua. Wang Junlin opened it and saw a sentence written on it: "Prince Yang Jian promised to be the prime minister of Jingzong."
Wang Junlin's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with confusion.
Is it really Xu Jingzong who has the problem? The most treacherous prime minister in the Tang Dynasty in history is indeed not the same person as Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui!
"Thank you for me, the eldest princess." Pei Yuanqing was beside him, and Wang Junlin's relationship with the eldest princess was shady, so he couldn't say much.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard again. Wang Junlin and everyone stopped talking and turned to look.
The people who came this time were from the Blue Guard Mansion. It was Shen Guang who came in a hurry with two hundred Blue Guards.
Shen Guang saw Wang Junlin standing there from a distance, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing Pei Yuanqing present, when they were twenty steps away from Wang Junlin, they got off their horses and ran forward for more than ten steps. Under the leadership of Shen Guang, they all knelt down
He knelt down and said loudly: "Shen Guang, the commander of the Intelligence Department of the Lanyi Guard Mansion, heard that Qin An was attacked and came here to investigate."
Wang Junlin turned to Pei Yuanqing and said: "Yuanqing, why don't you go ahead and tell the princes and princes waiting in front of the city gate about the situation here, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble when I go there with more than 3,000 heads later?"
Misunderstand."
Pei Yuanqing clasped his fists and said, "What Brother Wang is saying is that there was an ambush of ten thousand cavalry here. We should go back and report it to the prince and the princes of the court and prepare in advance."
Wang Junlin clasped his fists in return, and Pei Yuanqing got on his horse and led the people away.
"Sir, you despised your duty and failed to discover these ten thousand ambushes. Please punish me." Shen Guang knelt down to Wang Junlin again to accept the punishment.
"Get up! Do you know what the problem is?" Wang Junlin asked with a sigh.
"Sir, there is something wrong with the person who is responsible for keeping an eye on this area. I have sent people to catch him, but he hasn't been caught yet." Shen Guang said quickly.
Wang Junlin shook his head, then sighed and said, "It's not your subordinates who have a problem, but Xu Jingzong's problem."
When Shen Guang heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said, "Xu Jingzong..."

After everything was cleaned up, the remaining blood and headless corpses in the valley would naturally be dealt with by the court's follow-up personnel.
Wang Junlin and others started to move forward towards Luoyang City.
Yang Guang wished that everyone in the world would come to watch this prisoner sacrifice ceremony, so in front of the east gate of Luoyang, not only the civil and military officials of the entire court gathered, but also most of the nobles who did not hold actual positions in Kaifeng City were all driven over by the emperor's decree. He also asked the people in the city to come and watch.
Originally there was a lot of excitement before, but following the news brought by Pei Yuanqing from the east, the crowd suddenly fell silent at first, and then exclaimed in surprise.
With Wang Junlin's current status, the great things he has done, and the power of Wang Junlin's enemies, it is only natural that someone would assassinate Wang Junlin.
However, if someone dared to assassinate Wang Junlin, the first hero of the Sui Dynasty, more than 40 miles away from Luoyang City, then this matter would be unusual. And if the assassin also used 10,000 cavalry, then this matter would be enough to make everyone People were shocked,
At this time, the civil and military officials and dignitaries of the court were still there in front of the city gate. In addition, there were thousands of people relying on soldiers, petty officials, and officials and dignitaries to protect them. However, at this time, the city gate was deserted or dead silent.
The city gate had long been cleared, and the people of Kyoto were blocked outside the cordon. They looked at the dark procession coming from the south with shocked faces.
It was obvious that there were more than 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners behind, but looking at the blood on the bodies of the more than 2,000 people escorting these 10,000 prisoners, looking at the corpses lying on the horses, looking at the straight backs, riding on the first horse The blood-red tall horse is the most heroic figure in the Sui Dynasty, the most vicious person in the Sui Dynasty, and the most poisonous person in the Sui Dynasty.
I had only heard about it before, but when I saw the corpses and bloodstains with my own eyes, as well as the heads hanging on the sides of each cavalry horse, everyone was in an uproar!
After the emperor led a million-strong army to conquer Goguryeo and returned with a disastrous defeat, he used a partial naval force to capture a county of Goguryeo, conquered Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, captured the prime minister of Goguryeo, and annihilated Yuan Taizuo, the culprit of the Sui Dynasty's fiasco. King An Lin of Qin, who had brought back 70,000 to 80,000 Goguryeo troops, and even brought back so many Goguryeo prisoners, finally returned to Beijing. The much-publicized prisoner presentation ceremony ordered by His Majesty the Emperor was finally held as scheduled, but who could have imagined that with him, What came back was so many corpses and blood stains.
The people who were watching from a distance were whispering, discussing, and were extremely shocked. Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone guessed that something dangerous happened to Qin Angong on his way back to Beijing, but there was no one among the people. People think that the so-called danger actually happened near the capital.
After Pei Yuanqing came back and told the shocking story of Wang Junlin's assassination, the big guys at the city gate decided to send 500 sergeants to greet them. So at this time, there were 500 sergeants on both sides of the team silently holding their horses. Under guard.
The common people watched with fear on their faces, and confirmed that it was indeed a prisoner sacrifice ceremony in front of the city gate, and not a drama about the bird being hidden within the bow as mentioned in the storytellers and operas. They confirmed that it was not the emperor who wanted to arrest Duke An of Qin, and then they began to protest one after another. Started to guess.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
