(Many thanks to 'Smoldering Pot' and 'Apharmy' for their generous support and monthly passes.) ）

These five hundred cavalry had obviously been prepared for a long time, and at the moment when Yuwen Chengdu gave the order, they rushed directly towards the more than twenty green forest heroes kneeling on the ground.

"Wait!"

"Wait a minute."

Wang Tong and Mai Tiecane shouted at the same time, the two of them were not low in official positions, and the five hundred cavalry froze in place.

Yuwen Chengdu took out a token, showed it to Wang Tong, hugged his fists casually and said: "Before the official came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Lord Wang discovered the thief in advance and exterminated the thief, and he is a pillar of the court, and His Royal Highness will remember this matter." If Lord Wang still has any questions, he can contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afterwards. His Royal Highness will naturally give Lord Wang a satisfactory explanation. ”

When Wang Tong heard this, his face changed, and after half a sound, he finally said, "The old man understands." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Junlin with a complicated expression, Gao You spoke, and what he thought in his mind was whether Mai Tie Cane came to kill Wang Junlin on the order of the crown prince Yang Guang, if so, I am afraid that the strategy he and Pei Shiju had set before would change.

After Yuwen Chengdu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Tong, but looked at Mai Tiezhu, frowned and said in a heavy voice: "Why, General Mai wants to kill these thieves personally." ”

Mai Tiezhu's face turned red instantly, but soon a look of determination flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "This general will go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, and this place will be handed over to General Tianbao." ”

After saying that, the wheat iron rod walked away as if he were running away, and in shame he did not dare to look at any of the green forest heroes again.

"Dog officer!"

"The Old Thief ...... the Iron Staff"

"Fight with them."

A group of green forest heroes picked up the weapons from the ground that had not yet been taken away by Wang Tong's soldiers, and scolded angrily one by one. And almost at the moment when they jumped up, Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand, and five hundred cavalry rushed towards them.

Wang Tong was worried that these people would tell some secrets that could not be heard by others before they died, so he hurriedly excused himself to put out the fire, and ran away with 500 soldiers, he really went to fight the fire. A fire broke out in the Marquis of Qin'an's mansion, if it ignited the nearby houses and caused a large-scale fire in the capital, even if the crown prince Yang Guang owed him a favor, he would be impeached by the imperial history and blamed by His Majesty.

"Qin Anhou really lives up to his reputation, these thieves dare to be unfavorable to Qin Anhou, they are simply looking for death." At this time, Yuwen Chengdu and Wang Junlin greeted each other, and the two had similar official positions and titles, and they were about the same age, and they were also famous all over the world.

"Senior brother Jun Lin to meet senior brother, senior brother is worthy of the invincible name of General Tianbao, today is really extraordinary." Wang Jun was about to pay homage to his junior brother, and said sincerely that he could feel a faint and inexplicable pressure from the other party, and this pressure he had only felt on Master Yujuluo.

In comparison, Wang Junlin's military exploits are a lot more than Yuwen Chengdu, but the latter comes from the illustrious Yuwen family, is the grandson of Shangzhu State, Bao Guogong, and the right guard general Yuwenshu, although the legend is the illegitimate son of Yuwenshu's eldest son Yu Wenhua, but it is also from the family gate, but in terms of origin, it is not comparable to Wang Junlin, who is single and weak.

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the famous poison general in front of him was also the apprentice of his own mentor Yu Juluo, although Yu Juluo taught him martial arts in private and his father begged his grandfather to let the backer Wang Yang Lin come forward to say the item, but Yu Juluo taught him martial arts This is a fact, and it is impossible to have no kindness to him, Wang Junlin's voice senior brother made Yuwen Chengdu's cold face more gentle, and returned the gift to Wang Junlin, saying: "I almost forgot for my brother, you and I have the same master, a few days ago, the junior brother opened a banquet, Brother Wei happened to go to Jiangnan on the order of the prince, and he just came back the day before yesterday, so I ask my brother to forgive me. ”

Wang Junlin hurriedly said: "Senior brother is polite, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's affairs are naturally important. Besides, the younger brother also saw the gift sent by the elder brother and liked it very much. ”

"It's good if my junior brother likes it." A trace of embarrassment passed through the depths of Yuwen Chengdu's eyes, thinking that it was probably a gift arranged by his father in his own name.

What was staged in front of Wang Junlin and Yuwen Chengdu was a battle without any suspense, and in the blink of an eye, most of the twenty green forest heroes died, leaving only five more powerful masters to dodge and scurry around, desperately resisting. Among them was the Ox Arrival.

"If Niu Jinda died here, wouldn't it be because of me that history was changed, the original history of the founding generals of the Tang Dynasty, the right Wuwei general, Langya County Bull Jinda naturally disappeared." Wang Junlin secretly sighed in his heart, and there was an idea that made him hesitate.

At this time, Niu Jinda already knew that he was going to die, and suddenly roared with a long knife, and rushed in the direction where Wang Junlin and Yuwen Chengdu were.

A bloodthirsty light suddenly appeared in Yuwen Chengdu's eyes, no one dared to make a move with him for a long time, this thief who rushed towards him didn't seem to be weak, and he should be able to take a few moves from him. With this in mind, he waved his hand to let the cavalry that was chasing after him retreat and go after the others. And his hand was already clenched with the gilt bore of the phoenix wings.

"Wait, Niu Jinda, Ben Hou sent you to the thieves to do internal response, you kid is addicted to playing, right! It's all at this time, and I can't come yet. Wang Junlin suddenly stepped forward, blocked between Yuwen Chengdu and Niu Jinda, glanced at Niu Jinda, and said loudly.

Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment while running, then his eyes showed ecstasy, and he immediately stopped, bowed to Wang Junlin, and said: "I have fulfilled my mission and completed the task assigned by the Hou Ye." ”

To be alive, no one wants to die, Niu Jinda may not be afraid of death, but that is in the absence of a choice, and now Wang Junlin has given him a chance to live, which is undoubtedly a person who is about to drown in the water Someone suddenly stretched out a rope, how can there be a reason not to hold on tightly. What's more, he and Wang Junlin actually don't have the slightest grudge, the reason why he came here tonight is purely because he owed others a favor before, and now he has naturally paid it off, of course he has to find a way to live.

"It's done, don't come and stand behind Benhou." Wang Junlin shouted.

Niu Jinda hurriedly clenched his fists and said loudly: "Oh! ”

At this time, the other four remaining people were already dead, and the five hundred cavalry watched Niu Jinda stand behind Wang Junlin and did not move.

In the process of Wang Junlin talking to Niu Jinda, Yuwen Chengdu wanted to speak and stopped, because he was an illegitimate child, he was treated a lot of injustice when he was a child, so that he developed a very withdrawn character, and he has always done things extremely. But now he can't do it anymore.

"Senior brother, this person is really the internal response you sent to the thieves in advance." Yuwen Chengdu remembered His Royal Highness the Prince's explanation and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Senior brother, this person is a guard beside the younger brother, the younger brother has always been friendly with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the King of Jin seems to have seen this person." ”

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes blinked, smiled slightly, and said: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin has seen this person, this matter will naturally not be false." ”

The focus of Wang Junlin's sentence is not whether Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, has seen this person, but the sentence in the middle, "I have always been good friends with His Royal Highness the King of Jin". You must know that Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, is the eldest son of the crown prince Yang Guang, although the meaning of Wang Junlin's words is a little ambiguous, it is enough for him to go back and explain to the crown prince Yang Guang.

Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, he knew that with Yang Guang's interference, it would be difficult to achieve the goal of using this matter to severely damage Yang Sudi, since this is the case to obtain greater benefits from other directions, it is what needs to be done at the moment.

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin said: "The reason why the little brother was able to survive tonight and leave all the thieves behind is mainly because he found out the two internal responses of the thieves who broke into the little brother's mansion in advance, and learned about the thieves' conspiracy from his mouth, so he took precautions in advance. ”

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Then these two should ......."

Wang Junlin saw the change in his expression, thinking that Yang Guang really had the intention of protecting Yang Su, so he immediately said: "Senior brother, don't worry, since senior brother has killed all these thieves, these two should also die." ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Yuwen Chengdu to answer, Wang Junlin turned his head to Zhan Peng and said, "Go and bring the bodies of those two thieves Neiying here and put them together with the corpses of these thieves." ”

Yuwen Chengdu nodded with a smile and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, what the senior brother did tonight was truthfully reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the brotherhood, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely remember what the junior brother did." ”

Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, please, there is water in the junior brother's house, and I want to take someone to extinguish the fire." ”

……

……

Hundreds of thieves appeared in the capital, breaking into the Qin'an Marquis Mansion at night, burning, killing and looting. The incident caused a sensation throughout the capital the next day.

People naturally associate these thieves with Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, and Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, two old guys who have a grudge against Qin Anhou, but whether it is the Criminal Department, Jing Zhaoyin, or Hou Guan, they all looked at the corpses of the thieves and came to the same conclusion - the thieves are giant thieves in the green forests of Taihang Mountain and the Yangtze River, everyone has a name and a surname, and most of them are wanted by the government.

Then there was news in the market, saying that Qin Anhou had a mortal enmity with these people when he followed his master to the rivers and lakes in the early years, and some people came up with real deeds, such as the Blood Knife Gate, which once dominated the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, was destroyed overnight, and it is said that it was Wang Junlin's master and apprentice. Last night, these hundred thieves were the remnants of the Blood Knife Gate, calling friends to find Wang Junlin for revenge.

This statement and this seemingly true story spread very quickly, and under the full operation of people with intentions, it soon became the mainstream understanding in the capital, and it has created an environment in the capital that everyone is like.

Jingzhao Yin Wang Tong racked his brains overnight and carefully prepared a report, and entered the palace as soon as possible the next day and sent it to Yang Jian, the Great Sui Emperor.
