In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the execution of the criminal generals in northern Xinjiang.

In order to avoid letting the people know the news of the defeat of Youzhou, and also to avoid triggering mass panic, the execution of Bian Guan and Hu General was carried out in a secret state.

Yang Yun is not qualified to go to the prison to behead, but he vaguely feels that things will not go so smoothly, but if he wants to act against the laws of history, he must be mentally prepared to be counterattacked by the general trend of history.

The deaths of Li Ying and Concubine Wu Hui basically did not change history, but they were just carried out early.

But the killing of An Lushan has not happened in history, this person can be regarded as the son of fate, and is the key figure in the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, according to superstition, he will inevitably be protected by heaven.

Moreover, with Zhang Shouqi's personality, being able to go to Zhang Jiuling's mansion to talk about the matter also shakes the attitude of Zhang Jiuling, who has always hated General Hu, and they may also use the means of stealing the sky to rescue these important criminals.

The noon passed quickly, and it stands to reason that all the Hu generals who were escorted to the eastern capital for trial were sentenced by the Ming Dynasty.

In less than three moments, Yang Yun welcomed a special guest here, who was the king's family.

Wang Ji was very nervous as soon as he came, and said eagerly: "Everything is as the senior brother expected, if someone secretly replaced the death row prisoner and took two of them away, now the carriage carrying them has left the city, and it is likely that it is on the way back to Youzhou." ”

Originally, no one cared about this matter, and if Zhang Jiuling was cautious, he would not have expected that Zhang Shouqi would take risks to save people in order to rescue his beloved son.

But Yang Yun expected the matter first, and asked Wang Ji to use his relationship to investigate, and sure enough, he found a problem.

"They dare to save the person whom the Holy God has designated to kill, and they really don't want to live...... Brother, what should we do? "Wang Ji has no idea, even if he knows that people have been rescued, he can't do anything.

Zhang Shoujue dared to openly disobey the holy decree, which is enough to show that the border town at this time has slowly begun to get out of control, and there are traces of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. Zhang Shouqi's subordinates escorted the two rescued Hu generals to the north, presumably everything had been arranged in advance, and there must be special escorts along the way to ensure that there would be no leakage of news.

"What else can I do? In order to correct the law of the court, and also to prevent the Tang Dynasty from falling into the catastrophe of war, he could only pursue and kill people. ”

When Yang Yun said this, there was a sense of perseverance on his face, which seemed very strange to Wang Ji.

Wang Ji was stunned, is this still the senior brother who is cynical and has a peaceful attitude towards everything? How does it look like a murderous devil?

"Gone!"

Yang Yun pulled Wang Ji, took Yarou, went out together, and rode out of the city according to the clues left by the people sent by Wang Ji to follow.

……

……

On the shore of Luoshui, in an inconspicuous inn.

When night falls, there is a convoy of the government parked here? The daily ferry time is fixed, and now if you miss the hour, you can only go to the inn to rest first.

After submitting the necessary paperwork? The gang checked into the inn without any incident, and no one found out who they really were.

Datang has been peaceful for a long time? Especially in the heart of the Tang Dynasty like Henan Province? No one thinks there's any chaos? From the military to the civilian population, the necessary vigilance has been lost.

Almost an hour has passed? Yang Yun and Wang Ji chased here on horseback and arrived in the woods outside the inn.

After meeting with Wang Ji's men, Yang Yun turned over and dismounted, and helped Yarou, who was riding the war horse with him, down.

"Major General? The gang of thieves is inside, there are more than two dozen people, and they all look good? The two death row inmates who were rescued live in a guest room directly east of the second floor, and there are currently two groups of customers in the store. "The king's subordinates ask for instructions.

Wang Ji looked at Yang Yun and waited for Yang Yun to decide.

In fact, I don't understand the royal family until now? Why did the two escaped criminals have to be killed? Could it be that these two people are really the people who are about to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty revealed in the heavenly machine?

"Senior brother, why don't we stun the people inside, go upstairs again, and kill people without knowing it?" The royal family made a suggestion.

Yang Yun shook his head and said: "Attacking in a crowded place will definitely cause unnecessary riots, they are fugitives, they want to come and go, as long as they create a little chaos outside, they will leave the inn and continue to escape." ”

Wang Ji pondered for a while, it was really such a reason, and nodded silently.

After Yang Yun's face-to-face order, Wang Ji led people to the door of the inn, pretending to be officers and soldiers coming to search, and yelled: "Shopkeeper, we were ordered to come to arrest the bandits, and we are going to go in and search now!" ”

The number of people brought by the royal family is only less than twenty, which is less than the number of people sent by Zhang Shouqi to escort, and if you fight hard, this side will not have an advantage.

The innkeeper came out to explain, the two sides were in a mess, and soon there was a reaction upstairs, and a few people rushed out of the back door and rushed directly to the place where the carriage was parked, ready to leave by carriage, while more people remained in the inn in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the officers and soldiers.

I probably want to send the people away first, and then pick them up after the search officer leaves.

In this way, they happened to fall into Yang Yun's trap, and the prisoners who were escorted left under the escort of no more than five people, and they could be chased and captured.

"Official, the people inside all have road guides, and there are even officials from the north, you can't go in and search like this." The innkeeper was afraid of causing the official to be unhappy, so he repeatedly begged.

Wang Ji said arrogantly: "The official doesn't live in the official post, how can he live here with you?" Want to deceive Lao Tzu? Don't see if the brother brought by Lao Tzu agrees, go in and search! ”

was about to lead people to rush in, and someone inside greeted him, and the first one was Shi Zhangzhong, the head of the Youzhou Festival Envoy who was stationed in Luoyang City for Zhang Shoujue's activities.

"A few officials, we belong to the Northern Border Army, I don't know where you come from?" Zhang Zhong's tone was not good.

At this time, people were being arranged to leave behind the inn, and Zhang Zhong came out mainly to delay time, speak slowly and logically, and the people he brought firmly guarded the door and did not let Wang Ji bring troops in.

Wang Ji saw Zhang Shouqi's men rushing out, all of them were burly men, with swords and crossbows in their hands, and he might suffer a big loss when the two sides fought, he was a little cowardly for a while, but when he thought that it was to hunt down the important criminals, he suddenly became angry.

"Ordered to search for bandits."

According to Yang Yun's previous statement, Wang Ji came to the meaning.

Zhang Zhong asked curiously: "I haven't heard of bandits near the Eastern Capital recently, have you seen a few official road guides?" It's not that I don't believe a few, but it's really that we are also officials, acting on orders, and we can't be disturbed. ”

With Zhang Zhong's knowledge, he can naturally see that these people in front of him are not pretending to be officials, acting like soldiers, but the leader of the generals does not look like leading the army, but looks like a gentleman.

"Major General, someone in the back escaped in a carriage!"

At this moment, someone suddenly came over in a hurry.

Wang Ji immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Okay, you guys, you dare to shield the important criminals of the court and take people down!" ”

Zhang Zhong didn't expect that the other party would also arrange someone to keep an eye on him at the back door, and in a hurry, the two sides had already put their soldiers out, and the swords were tense, and a vicious battle seemed inevitable.

"This young general, you're not an errand officer, are you? Which general's mansion are you from? We have something to say, and there is some misunderstanding in it. ”

Zhang Zhong saw that the two sides were about to fight, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

Zhang Zhong doesn't want a scene of fighting, once there are large-scale casualties, it will definitely alarm the government, and then the government will track down the origin of the two sides and the reason for the action, and the matter of saving people to the north will be exposed.

Originally, they were going to transport people north in a low-key manner, they didn't like publicity, and they couldn't cause a fight, so he had to verify the identity of the king first, and as long as he exchanged identities, he could come to the door to bribe when he turned back.

Wang Ji shouted, "What do you have to say to you people? Dare to shield important criminals in the court, and dare to resist arrest? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu slaughtered you? ”

Wang Ji was also very cowardly in his heart, he clearly knew that the opposite was the person of Zhang Shouqi, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and the people sent by Zhang Shouqi to Luoyang this time were all first-class masters, and the guards behind him were just family soldiers, and it was clear which was stronger and which was weak.

As long as there is a fight, he must be the one who suffers, and if he doesn't get it right, he may die here.

"This young general, I have something to say, we don't know the person who fled, I am the governor of Youzhou Shi Shiye, this is my waist card......"

Zhang Zhong found that he could only be the first to identify himself.

Otherwise, if a fight really starts, even if all these reckless officers and soldiers in front of you are killed, it will be a big problem.

"Youzhou Governor's Mansion?"

When Wang Ji heard this, his face really appeared with jealousy.

This also made Zhang Zhong see hope, and said immediately: "We just moved in here, and we don't know if there are robbers living in it, shopkeeper, but you allow people of unknown origin?" ”

The innkeeper was stunned all of a sudden, everyone checked the road guide before coming in, so thoughtful and meticulous can there be problems? Isn't it your soul winning that is in trouble?

"Why don't we go after it...... Someone, prepare to drive and go with the young general to hunt down the thief. ”

Zhang Zhong said that he was going to pursue him, but the main purpose was to drag down the royal family, and at this time, about two criminal generals had escaped a mile away, and it was not so easy to chase after him.

After leaving the inn, it shouldn't be long before you change horses, after all, you are a Hu general, and your ability to ride horses and shoot arrows is invincible in the world, and the officers and soldiers who rely on these shrimp soldiers and crab generals will definitely not have any hope of catching up.

"Who's going to hunt you down? I'll interrogate you again when I come back...... Come on, get on the horse and chase the murderer! ”

Wang Ji almost dragged out a cup of tea, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he immediately greeted him, took his men on the horse, and turned around and ran into the night.

Zhang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, seeing these officials of unknown origin getting on the horse and staying away, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

It seems that from the very beginning, he was led by the nose, how could such a group of officials suddenly come to arrest the bandits in this wilderness? And forced them to send people out of the inn?

"It's not good, there's fraud in it, let's get on the horse and chase after it immediately!" Zhang Zhong found that the problem was wrong, and hurriedly called for people, called everyone, and rode on horseback to chase east.

But halfway through, they found that they couldn't see the previous officers and soldiers on the Zhongguan Road in the dark night, and as for the two generals who sent them away and the escort guards, they also lost contact for the time being, and chased five miles to the east, without any clues.

"Lang Jun, this matter is very problematic, no horse manure was found on the road." The men soon realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Zhong realized that he was being teased, but he still didn't believe that his painstaking efforts to save the criminal generals would be found out by the imperial court.

"Something went wrong, hurry around and look for clues, and ...... You can't leak the news. Zhang Zhong shouted.
