A sheep intestine trail winds along the peaks of the mountain, climbs up, hides in the mountains and mist, and seems to lead directly to the fairyland heavenly palace.

Yang Lin took Duan Miaozhen and walked down slowly, such a long road, Duan Miaozhen thought that it would never be better.

Yang Lin was a little impatient, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, I'll carry you down." ”

"How can that be?" Duan Miaozhen hurriedly shook her head and said cautiously: "Lin Lang is too slow, I'll leave quickly." ”

Yang Lin couldn't help but say, walked down, and squatted on his knees: "Come up." ”

Duan Miaozhen wanted to go on it very much, but she was afraid that she would be tired of Yang Lin, so in the end, she couldn't help it, and slowly climbed onto his back.

Yang Lin held his buttocks with both hands and sent them up, and then walked down the mountain quickly, and it was really much faster.

Duan Miaozhen, who was lying on Yang Lin's back, her heart was beating like a drum, her face was flushed, and she was filled with a feeling of novelty and excitement.

looked at his sweetheart's generous back, slowly put his cheek up, and the whole person was attached to Yang Lin's body, very relieved.

Yang Lin came down from the mountain and sent Duan Miaozhen to the carriage, Princess Dali's eyes couldn't wait to grow on Yang Lin's body, and she was reluctant to move away for a moment.

Being so loved by such a beauty, Yang Lin was also full of tenderness in his heart, and said with a smile: "After I go back, tell Lord Duan that this will be Duan's home temple in the future." ”

Duan Miaozhen nodded lightly, gentle and well-behaved, Yang Lin couldn't help but touch her cheek, and then helped her close the curtain and let the groom urge the horse to set off.

The Yao family is the general of the Western Army, and Yao Gu is the heavy general of Qin Long.

Looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, it is said that the Western Army is the most capable of fighting, but the death of Yao Gu's son did not cause any waves.

The princes of the Great Song Dynasty looked at the illegitimate son of a military general, and the Criminal Department just scolded the officials of the Kaifeng Mansion as usual and asked them to solve the case quickly.

The carriage had not taken a few steps, and Lu Qian walked over quickly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a solemn look on his face.

After Lu Qian came over, he said in Yang Lin's ear: "Shaozai, something happened." ”

"What's the matter?"

Yang Lin has experienced a lot of things, and he has a trace of calmness that has changed in various places, but it is just that the soldiers are coming to block it.

"Yao Shu was killed."

Yang Lin raised his head slightly, looked at him sideways, and after a moment of silence, his eyelids flicked, and he lowered his head and asked, "When did the murderer catch it?" ”

"Last night, Yao Shu was in a hurry to return to Beijing to see his brother, so he hurried overnight, and was ambushed and killed on the official road on the outskirts of Bianliang.

It was also because he was in a hurry to return to Beijing that he did not take all the people of the Yao family's caravan, but only brought four retinues, all of whom were killed by people with their throats cut. ”

Yao Shu has never been an important figure in the system of the Western Army, and this slightly wooden young man seems to be a little honest and honest among the children of the generals of the Western Army around him.

Yang Lin also had a good impression of him, and he couldn't think of a reason why he was killed for a while.

"Let's take a look."

---

The Yao family died a concubine, but the reaction of several other generals was surprisingly big.

Zhi Yanwen, Chong Chongsui, and Yang Ceqing all arrived as soon as possible, sitting in the hall with solemn faces and not saying a word.

Mrs. Yao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Yao Pingyi comforted her on the side.

Yao Pingzhong's eyes were wide, his face was dark, and a pair of fists were clenched in his sleeves, making noises from time to time.

After Yang Lin came in, everyone got up together, Yang Lin first comforted Mrs. Yao a few words, although she was not related by blood, but after all, it was her nephew, and the concept of relatives in this era was extremely important.

He glanced around, and Yao Pingzhongneng was in charge of the hall, walked over and asked, "Xiyan, if you have any clues, tell me about it." ”

"The Kaifeng Mansion said that it was an incident at noon last night, and the money was taken away afterwards, but the students felt that this was a means for the thief to cover up his original purpose."

Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "What is the reason?" ”

"Murder on this official road is highly dangerous, if it is for a small amount of money, it is better to go to the wild forest a little farther away.

The student asked the tolerance last night, and there has never been a murder case of seeking money in Bianliang Guandao for so many years.

The second brother didn't have much luggage with him, and he came on a fast horse, so if he wanted to grab some money to spend, he wouldn't pick this kind of attack. ”

Although Yao Pingzhong's tone was hateful, his analysis was quite organized, and Yang Lin nodded secretly.

He turned his head to see that another student, Yao Pingyi, was only concerned about comforting his mother, and he didn't seem to have any sad look, not even as sad as Mrs. Yao, who seemed a little cold.

This handsome young apprentice is far from his brother.

Chong, Yao, Zhe, Yang, the four major generals of the Western Army, now the children are gathered, and everyone is looking at Yang Lin.

Zhi Yanwen got up and said: "Shaozai, someone has been sent to inform Uncle Yao about this matter, could it be someone in the court who wants to do it to us..."

Yang Lin raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Shut up." ”

A few people around him hurriedly pulled Zhi Yanwen, and only then did he squint and sit down, Yang Lin turned around and said: "Before the matter is clarified, don't speculate, if it is used by someone with a heart, no one can afford this responsibility." ”

At the beginning of Huizong's succession, when the war in the northwest was in full swing, the imperial court began to reduce the food and salary of the western army.

These Qin Long soldiers and men who worked hard with the party members all relied on the grain purchased from Bianliang at their own expense.

Later, he didn't give a grain of rice for three years, and it was the most critical time for the summer.

As early as the earlier Northern Song Dynasty's Five-Route War, countless soldiers of the Western Army starved to death under the capital of Western Xia, and the promised grain and grass were not delivered at all.

In such a way, the imperial court could not contain the fighting men of the Western Army, and slowly the Western Army did not listen to the tune.

The imperial court originally sent Tong Guan to ambush these arrogant soldiers, but who knew that he directly starved to death 100,000 Qin Long people.

The soldiers on the front line threw their heads and spilled their blood to fight the capital of Western Xia, but they didn't know that their father and brother were detained and starved to death on the road.

If Yang Lin hadn't arrived in time, he would have made up for three years' worth of food and salaries, killed Tong Guan's grain supervision team, and saved a trace of people's hearts. The Western Army, like later history, will be completely disillusioned with the imperial court, and it will be difficult to control it from now on.

Historically, when the Western Army reached the Song and Jin Alliances, it had no intention of fighting in Hebei, which was far away from home, and was even beaten by Yelu Dashi's Liao army.

It also became the last straw that crushed the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty lost the opportunity to recover Youyan, and also made the Jurchen Tartars think of going south.

At that time, the Khitan people were killed by the Jin people like frightened birds, could the Western Army really not be able to defeat these remnants?

In fact, the Western Army, which had no fighting spirit at that time, did not want to serve the Great Song Dynasty and Tong Guan at all, and the Western Army generals did not listen to the command and did things perfunctorily.

Now that Yao Shu has been killed, Zhen Yanwen's words made Yang Lin vigilant.

In any case, this murder case cannot be the fuse for the Western Army to embark on the above road again.
