Wu Shaoying's question, Master Li also had it, so he nodded: "Although it is not the few people who died, but the person who was named as a guide at that time was indeed their comrade, and it should still be someone under the same Xiaoqimen." ”

King Qin's style is simple on weekdays, and he has always disliked luxury, nor is he good at women. Everywhere he went, the chief general of each guard station knew his style and personality, and naturally he would not violate his taboos.

It's just that I don't know why, the hundred households in charge of the Changlebao outpost don't seem to know his rules, but they dare to offer a sumptuous banquet for King Qin and Lord Li with a small outpost, with all kinds of famous wine and delicacies, and beautiful maids waiting. He even built a small wooden building next to the outpost, which was very luxuriously furnished, and respectfully invited the King of Qin to rest inside, and there were many beautiful maids waiting for orders.

As soon as King Qin saw the banquet, he was unhappy in his heart, and when he saw Mulou again, he simply turned his face on the spot. Where is the money to prepare these for a mere 100 households? Either they are looting the people's fat and ointment, or they are filling their pockets with military salaries. Either way, it made King Qin angry. He inspected all the way from the capital, and none of the guards made such a fuss, but something happened to the outpost in his domain, or in front of other officials who received the emperor's order to accompany him. Not only was he angry for the actions of this hundred households, but he also felt that he had lost face.

The King of Qin refused to eat even a bite of Changle Fort's food, but casually dealt with the dry food he brought, and refused to stay overnight. However, the other outposts around him were not large enough to accommodate the prince, so he simply decided to return to Yulin City directly. Anyway, Changle Fort is dozens of miles away from Yulin City, and it only takes about half an hour for a fast horse to arrive, and it is a little slower to take a carriage, but it is no problem to arrive in Yulin City before the second watch. With the King of Qin here, he is not afraid that the defenders of the city gate will refuse to open the door. However, if they want to rush at night, they still need someone to lead the way, and the Changshi of the Qin Wangfu casually ordered four soldiers to be guides in the Changle Fort outpost.

Li Dadao: "Coincidentally, I probably ate the wrong thing at dinner and felt unwell, and the chief of the palace and several people accompanying him also had this problem, so I really couldn't walk with the prince." Originally, the prince was going to take the prince's trip, but the people below reported it again, saying that the car was broken for some reason, and it would take at least half a day to repair it. At that time, it was getting dark, and it was even more inconvenient to repair it. The prince was impatient to wait, so he simply took a few relatives and set off on a fast horse first. We stayed at the Changle Fort outpost for the rest of the night, and the next day we escorted the reward to Yulin City to meet the prince. ”

Zhou Gen continued: "Looking back now, is it too much of a coincidence that so many things happened at that time?"

Wu Shaoying calculated in his heart, it was really too much of a coincidence. When it was dark, the king of Qin was angry because of the words and deeds of the defenders of Changle Fort, and decided to hurry at night. However, among the entourage, a group of people were unwell and could not travel, and the car was broken, and they could not leave these things behind, because they also carried the items that the emperor had prepared to give to Yulinwei. As a result, the king of Qin rode Jian Cong to catch up with the night road, and then was attacked on the way.

Are there really so many coincidences in the world?

Master Li said: "I stayed in Changle Fort that night, and I don't know what happened later, but Zhou Gen, as a personal guard of the palace, has been guarding King Qin, so he knows more about what happened that night. Zhou Gen, tell him. ”

Zhou Gen replied and said to Wu Shaoying: "The four Changlebao garrisons are guides, and we all follow their instructions to Yulin City along the way. But for some reason, I thought that the fast horse would arrive in half an hour, and even if we didn't reach Yulin City, we should meet people, but we ran for half an hour, and the surrounding area was still a wilderness. At that time, there was no moon, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and we couldn't even distinguish the direction, and we felt inexplicable. I didn't think it was right, and I questioned the four soldiers who led the way, and they only said that they didn't lead the wrong way, and if they went further, it would be Yulin City. We were skeptical, so we had to follow them. At this time, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and a full moon illuminated the earth. The prince immediately noticed that the direction was wrong from the position of the moon, and stopped the four people......"

The four soldiers probably knew that they had exposed, but instead of obeying King Qin's orders and approaching him for questioning, the four soldiers quickly whipped up their horses and fled quickly. King Qin and the others disappeared from a distance after seeing them flee into a dilapidated and crumbling earthen city. At this time, there were many unknown people holding torches and riding horses around King Qin and his party, all of them wearing Hu clothes, who seemed to be Beirong's soldiers and horses, intending to be unfavorable to them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, King Qin and his party hurriedly rode their horses and escaped, but those people were skilled in riding and shooting, and they were familiar with the terrain, so they quickly surrounded them and fought them. In order to protect the King of Qin, the royal guards suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, it was Zhou Gen and three other guards with the best martial arts skills who escorted the King of Qin out of the encirclement. Fortunately, the moon showed its face for a while, and it was quickly covered by the clouds again, and in the dim light, the pursuers could not find any trace of the four of them in the first place, so that they could escape.

Qin King Zhou Gen and others did not know the direction at that time, but they just ran away with their heads covered, and they didn't know how long they ran, and finally when the moon showed its face from behind the clouds again, they saw a sentry post in front of them, and then asked the defenders in the outpost for help, so they successfully escaped.

Zhou Gen said: "Although we have temporarily arrived in a safe place, it is only a small outpost, there are only forty or fifty soldiers, and the number of people who attacked us is at least hundred. If that group of people finds out that we are in the outpost, I am afraid that it will not end well. The prince made a quick decision, and after a little rest and directions, he left one of the most seriously injured guards to recuperate in the outpost, and as soon as dawn he took us to change horses and then fled, leaving there, and did not alarm Yulin City. ”

Wu Shaoying was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you go back to Yulin City?"

Zhou Gen sneered: "How can we go back? Although the people who attacked us, although they hid their heads and showed their faces, and were still wearing Hu clothes, the sword techniques they used were clearly the usual methods used by the border troops! When we fled, we also heard some of them greet their accomplices, saying not to let any of us go, and that accent was also the accent of Jindi! Now more than one of the guards in Yulin City was from Jindi!"

Master Li glanced at him and said to Wu Shaoying: "The prince does not return to Yulin City, so he naturally has his reasons. Under the jurisdiction of Yulinwei, only a few dozen miles away from the city, there were more than 100 troops attacking the King of Qin, and Yulinwei was at least suspected of dereliction of duty. The prince was so angry that he didn't even pay attention to those of us who stayed in Changle Castle, and went elsewhere with a few cronies. When it was truly safe and credible, he ordered someone to send a letter back to Yulin City to explain the reason. ”

Wu Shaoying looked at him, then at Zhou Gen, and suddenly thought: Although King Qin's itinerary is not a secret, it is not known to everyone, at least the people of Mizhi County, who are not very far from Yulin, never knew that King Qin was going to inspect the guards. But the generals of Yulin Weizhong should all know in their hearts, even if King Qin and his entourage don't send someone over to greet them in advance, they will also inquire privately, so that before King Qin arrives, some things that are not so proper in the guard will be reined in.

But no matter how much they knew about King Qin's itinerary, most of them would not know about King Qin's temporary decision to go to Yulin City in advance. The people who knew and were able to take the opportunity to launch an attack on the King of Qin were either the ones who had arranged in advance to make the King of Qin have this idea, or they were in Changle Fort at the time. Coupled with the strange behavior of the four Changlebao soldiers, it is not difficult to understand that King Qin refused to return to Changlebao and went to Yulinwei, who was in charge of Changlebao. And judging from the results of his subsequent successful escape, his decision must not be said to be wrong.

After Wu Shaoying thought about this question clearly, he asked Lord Li: "Since King Qin escaped from danger smoothly and sent a letter to your lordship, hasn't your lord checked the Changlebao outpost?"

Lord Li sighed: "The official was sick at the time, and he was only slightly better on the second day, and he waited for the prince's car to be repaired before slowly heading to Yulin City." When he arrived at the place, he heard that the prince had not come, and he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly distributed the reward according to his will, and sent people everywhere to search for the traces of the prince. When he received the letter from the prince, the hundred households in Changle Fort had been dismissed for violating military law and disappeared. There were also many soldiers in the fort who were dismissed for various reasons, either because of dereliction of duty, or because of unclean food prepared, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

If everyone runs away, naturally there is no way to check. But now, Lord Li saw the defenders of Changle Fort who he had seen that day, and the shock in his heart can be imagined.

Zhou Gen also had a sad look on his face and said, "Not only that, but even the outpost where the prince and I had hid for half a night that day was burned to the ground. Pity my colleague who stayed in the outpost to recuperate from his wounds, and also ended up with a tragic death. Yulin Wei only said that it was the horse thief who caused trouble, but the prince suspected that it was a good thing done by that group of chasing soldiers!"

Wu Shaoying was shocked, and asked sharply, "Which outpost is it?!"

Zhou Gen sighed: "I don't know very well, but when I asked someone, I said that it was in Niujialiang." ”

Wu Shaoying almost gritted her silver teeth, and hatred welled up in her heart.

The Niujialiang outpost is the outpost where Qin Ping, the husband of the cousin Guan, is stationed. I see...... It turned out that Qin Ping's death was for this reason!

If Qin Ping hadn't been killed by this group of unidentified so-called "horse thieves", his cousin Guan would not have been bullied by He who went home to mourn because he was lonely, so that he committed suicide. Wu Shaoying has always hated the He family, and now that she heard that there were still enemies, she just wanted to sneer in her heart.

Providence told him the truth about his cousin-in-law's death, and that was to let him avenge his cousin's husband and wife! How could he miss the great opportunity God gave him?!

Wu Shaoying looked up at Master Li, smiling, but there was a cold light in his eyes: "The student has already understood, and it is really a big case." I don't know where the adults need to use the students, and the students are at the disposal of the adults!"

Master Li thought to himself that I haven't finished talking about the matter yet, why did you agree? Remembering that Wu Shaoying seemed to be very concerned about the burned outpost, could it be that the soldiers in that outpost had his relatives?

Master Li thought about it, and said to Wu Shaoying: "I won't tell you, after we came from the capital, no one in Yulinwei didn't recognize us, and our movements were extremely restricted. This time, there was a fake document that took people away in advance, but the fake document was printed with a real official seal, and the other party was only half a day faster than us. The official suspected that someone in Yulin Wei was involved in the case, and even the Jin King's subordinates may not be innocent. It's just that our actions are too conspicuous, and it's easy to startle the snake. Since you are a local person and a person who understands, why don't you be the eyes and ears of this official and go to Yulin City and Linxian to investigate? You can rest assured that this official will send someone to accompany you to protect your safety. In the future, you will take the test in Beijing, no matter what the result is, I will take care of it more. ”

Wu Shaoying smiled: "There is no need to mention it in the future." The students originally intended to go out to study, but they just resigned from their teacher yesterday, so they simply set off today, and I hope that the adults will tell my family for me, so that they don't have to worry. ”
