Waiting for the distraught, and suddenly heard the sound of the horse's hooves kicking mixed with the sound of crying from far and near, Qin Jin was shocked, because this sound was familiar to him, it was Qin Yan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Qin Yan just cried, but did not say what happened. Qin Jin's impatience instantly increased a little more.

"Say, what happened?"

Under Qin Jin's urging, Qin Yan choked and said in a low voice:

"Home, home was burned by the heaven-killing rioters, and no one in the house can see the next living person......"

This made Qin Jin shocked, although in the final analysis, the house was full of domestic slaves, but these people were not insignificant to him. Thinking of this, Qin Jin could only sigh secretly, blaming himself for thinking too much about the situation in the city, only thinking that the biggest crisis was Li Longji's escape, but how could he have thought that the people could also become robbers, which was really unexpected. He turned his head to look at Wei Fangjin, who was in rags and embarrassed, it seemed that this old guy's house was robbed, and it was not an exception for his children to be separated.

However, the matter has come to this point, the wood is already in the boat, Qin Jin can't leave the important matter of recovering the situation and ignore it, and go to find the lost house slave, right? Of course not.

"Qin Yan, you are also a well-known man, why do you cry like a girl?"

Although Qin Jin was born tall, and because he began to grow a beard in the army, he looked like he was between twenty or thirty years old, but in fact, he was only a teenager who had just eighteen years old after all, and his heart inevitably had a weak side.

After being reprimanded by Qin Jin, Qin Yan showed a look of shame and indignation, and wanted to defend a few words, but his mouth opened, and he still didn't say a word after all.

Qin Jin asked again, "Can a corpse be found in the mansion?"

Qin Yan shook his head, his voice a little hoarse.

"When I hurried back to the house, the fire had already risen into the sky, and when I entered the gate and bypassed the shadow wall, there was a sea of fire, and it was really impossible to look deeper. ”

Originally, Qin Jin planned to judge the casualties in the mansion by relying on whether the corpses were found, but the answer he got from Qin Yan was that the fire had spread throughout the mansion, which meant that no one could guarantee whether there were any corpses in the fire.

Qin Jin's face was silent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but there was still a boulder hanging in his heart, and he didn't know when it would fall with a bang.

"Where is Wu Hu Huaizhong?"

"The last general!"

Qin Jin kept silent about the burning of the mansion, but instead ordered Wuhu Huaizhong.

"Choose two thousand elite horsemen, and follow me to chase the Son of Heaven in an hour!"

Wu Hu Huaizhong suddenly agreed and went to transfer people. Seeing this, Qin Yan also rushed forward and took the initiative to ask for help.

"I'll go with the lord too!"

Qin Jin glared at him and said:

"Don't even think about going, take your brother, start from Shengye Fang, search inch by inch, whether you live or die, the people in the house want to find it back!"

Hearing this order, Qin Yan was overjoyed, excitedly agreed, and led a few brothers to disappear without a trace.

Zheng Xianli couldn't wait for a long time, and Qin Jin couldn't wait endlessly, if Zheng Xianli couldn't rush to the imperial city to see him within an hour, he would have to hand over the heavy responsibility to Wei Fang, who was not very reliable around him!

It's just that there is still an hour to wait, and Qin Jin doesn't want to tell Wei Fang what he thinks too early.

About half an hour later, Zheng Xianli didn't wait, but waited for Jingzhao Shaoyin Cui Guangyuan.

I saw that he was sweating profusely, but his expression was very excited.

"Entrusting the prestige of the king, the subordinates have gathered more than 10,000 people and assigned to guard the gates, and now the people in the city can't get out, and the people outside the city don't want to come in and fish in troubled waters. What to do next, please let me show you!"

Even if Cui Guangyuan didn't say it clearly, Qin Jin knew what he was thinking, which was nothing more than dealing with those troublemakers in the city.

Qin Jin still had a headache for these chaotic people, and for the first time he realized what it meant to not be accountable to the public. Is it true that tens of thousands of rioters are arrested and beheaded one by one? At the time of great calamity, whether it is right or wrong, this will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

"A military order was issued in the name of Qin, martial law was imposed in the whole city, and everyone must return home before sunset, otherwise after sunset, if you see someone stranded on the street, you will be punished as a spy!"

This military order sounded murderous, but it didn't mention a single dead word, after all, Qin Jin still had a lot of concerns.

However, this has already pointed out a bright road for Cui Guangyuan, before Qin Jin came, he only felt as if he had been hollowed out, and he was extremely worried in his heart, but now it is very different, and it seems that he has a backbone again.

After Cui Guangyuan left, Wuhu Huaizhong quickly gathered two thousand elites and asked Qin Jin to issue further military orders.

Qin Jin looked up in the direction east of the imperial city, only to see the smoke billowing out, getting bigger and bigger, it must be that the fire was not under control and began to spread. He glanced back at Wei Fangjin.

"If the fire is not controlled, Chang'an is in danger of burning. ”

Wei Fangjin said:

"So that you don't know, Chang'an Fangfang built a number of firewalls at the beginning of construction, although the fire is big, but at most it burns one or two near the fire source, and it is not so easy to spread to the whole city!"

This situation was the first time Qin Jin had heard of it, and sure enough, as Wei Fangjin said, he could only say that the fire would spread more slowly, and whether the firewall could stop the spread of the fire, he had no bottom in his heart.

Qin Jin pondered for a while, and finally said solemnly to Wei Fangjin:

"A quarter of an hour later, Lord Qin will go west and chase the Son of Heaven and the crown prince back. During Qin's absence, he bothered Wei Xianggong to control the overall situation......"

Hearing Qin Jin say this, Wei Fangjin was shocked, and waved his hand repeatedly:

"Qin envoy Jun must not be like this, the old man is not familiar with military affairs, in case the traitor suddenly comes, the old man is old and rotten bones, but if he delays a major event, he will not be excused for his death!"

Wei Fangjin is still a person who is not worthy of great responsibilities, he has no responsibility at all, where is he worthy of being a servant of the door, a dignified prime minister of political affairs?

However, Wei Fangjin is such a person, what can Qin Jin force him to? Do you still expect this old guy who was desperate to flee for his life a second ago to suddenly be possessed by a loyal minister and a famous general, and take out the courage of a prime minister to resist everything? Of course not.

"Don't worry, the old minister, I will leave Wuhu Huaizhong behind, and there are 10,000 elite Shenwu troops, even if the traitors suddenly come, don't think about bargaining in front of the elite soldiers of Gaocheng! The most important thing now is the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven continues to flee westward, it will be difficult for the Tang army in Guanzhong and even outside the Guanzhong to gather together, and the Tang Dynasty will really have only one way left. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Jin paused, then stared at Wei Fangjin and asked:

"Does the old minister want to watch the Tang Dynasty perish?"

The word extinction was too shocking for Wei Fangjin. In his thinking, there was never the concept of the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Only a year ago, the Tang Dynasty was still a glorious Celestial Dynasty that shocked the whole world and served the world, but in just one year's effort, was it going to go from extreme prosperity to extinction?

Not to mention Wei Fangjin, this bend is difficult for even the old Li Longji himself to turn around, so from the inertial thinking, Li Longji still goes his own way, using those powerful ministers and ministers who only use power and scheming but have no ability to govern the country, and indulge his subordinates to fight each other to maintain his authority damaged in the rebellion.

In the end, it was Li Longji's extremely confused means that single-handedly handed over the decline that had been recovered in the Tang Dynasty to people again.

Wei Fangjin was shocked by Qin Jin's rhetorical question, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, but after all, he no longer stopped Qin Jin from chasing the Son of Heaven and the Prince.

"The old minister doesn't even have to do anything, just sitting in the imperial city as the prime minister of the political affairs hall, which is a great achievement!"

"Alas, the old man's mud bodhisattva itself is difficult to preserve, how can it give people hope and convincing?"

At this time, Wei Fangjin, who was dressed in cloth, after experiencing the tragedy of great changes in his life, could no longer hold the prime minister's shelf, of course, he was not arrogant, but because he could only be equal to the wooden tire clay sculpture in the temple in the end, he felt sad.

Qin Jin Dao:

"The old minister doesn't look down on the Bodhisattva with wooden clay sculptures in the temple, obviously he hasn't done anything, but there are still believers who offer incense and offerings, can you know why?"

If before this, Qin Jin dared to unabashedly allude to Wei Fangjin being a wooden clay sculpture, Wei Fangjin would definitely turn his face with him on the spot, and then find an opportunity to rectify him. But now, this dignified prime minister, who was once very high-spirited, accepted this statement calmly, and only waited quietly for Qin Jin's next words.

However, Qin Jin's words came to an abrupt end here. He looked up at the sky, and then again at the east of the Imperial City. It was almost all where the mansions of dignitaries were located, and it seemed that the billowing black smoke had become a little thicker.

After a while, Qin Jin no longer delayed, nor did he bother with Wei Fangjin, he only waved at him, and all the explanations and instructions were silent.

And Wei Fangjin had no room to refuse, so he could only return the salute.

Qin Jin left Chang'an City with anxiety and anxiety, where did Zheng Xianli go, did he suffer misfortune in the riots of the people?

All kinds of assumptions poured out, but then Qin Jin denied these bad ideas. After all, Zheng Xianli followed Feng Changqing to fight in the Western Regions for nearly ten years, and he had a resilience beyond ordinary people, how could he have suffered misfortune in the chaos of trouble?

Qin Jin reined in his mind, shook the reins violently, and then clamped the horse's belly with his legs, urging the war horse to accelerate. The war horse Herod screamed, but the speed did not speed up much. He knew that these war horses had consumed most of their physical strength in the day and night rush, and it was already very rare to be able to keep running.

However, in a hurry, it can only be like this, Li Longji dragged his family with his mouth, and he must not be fast, and it is considered fast to be able to go out fifty miles in one night and half a day. He was confident that he could catch up with the fleeing father and son before it got dark.
