Chapter 340: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land

When Ye Ji's carriage was escorted back to Bahuan City, Wu Xin felt disgusted that he had been fooled. There is no doubt that Li Siye was imprisoned on charges of disobeying orders. This crime has reached the qualification of moving his head, but fortunately, with Qi Jishan as a guarantor, Wu Xin did not immediately kill Li Siye to set an example. As for Shang Ling, who pretended to be Ye Ji, Wu Xin had no choice, Shang Ling insisted that she was Li Huaitang's wife, and it was natural for his wife to go back to her husband's house, and it was unreasonable for Wu Xin to send someone to intercept her from returning to Ningyuan City.

However, Wu Xin did not jump like thunder, but sneered: "Run, look at your horses, or my net is powerful." ”

Wu Xin had already sent someone to inform the Shule Town guard to block the road out of the country, he didn't think that Ye Ji could escape from the Tang Dynasty, unless she went to detour to Broken Leaf Town via Bodaling, but that was a move to send a sheep to the tiger's mouth, and this road was basically not considered. Wu Xin was very worried about the people who helped Ye Ji, and he decided to wait for Ning Yuancheng's affairs to come to an end, and after Ning Yuancheng faded out of people's sight, he would deal with them, especially the merchants.

Another night. Near Shule, Ye Ji and his party stopped on the edge of a poplar forest, and walked for more than ten days in a row, people were sleepy and tired, especially Ye Ji's body was inconvenient and could not bear the hardships of the long journey, so he had to stop and rest.

"Mrs. Ye Ji, don't worry, the crows will definitely get the general back." Lu Shangqing stood beside Ye Ji, who was looking eastward, for fear that her emotional instability would affect the fetus in her womb, and tried to comfort her as much as possible.

Ye Ji held her stomach and said affectionately: "Well, Shiro will definitely come back to see his flesh and blood." ”

Lu Shangqing nodded. In order to find Li Huaitang, the crow stayed in Anxi with his "hungry wolf" and hundreds of knights, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, the search and rescue would not stop, although the hope was very slim.

Lu Shangqing is still convinced that the general must be favored and protected by God. I remember that when I swept through the territory of the Turgish people with the general last year, the general's luck was not only ordinarily good, although there were times when he was in trouble, but every time the general strode through it and saved the day. Jiren has his own natural appearance, this time, the general is in trouble, but I, Lu Shangqing, am sure that there is always no danger. ”

Ye Ji looked at the dark sky in the east, her confidence seemed to have increased a lot, and a look of resoluteness ran up to her haggard face.

"Let's go, Lu joins the army and hits the road. Before Shiro returns, I will defend Ningyuan City for him. ”

Lu Shangqing was about to respond happily, but a slight vibration from the earth blocked the words that he spit into his mouth.

"Lu joined the army, and a large number of cavalry outflanked us." Six monkeys bring bad news.

There are no white jade claws, no hungry wolves, and not even authentic eagle cavalry scouts, the six monkeys are going to lose a lot of color, and they are found by the rangers of the Anxi army, and they don't know the traces, but the rangers of the Anxi army have attracted a large number of cavalry.

Lu Shangqing smiled bitterly, the Tang army actually used at least two thousand light cavalry to surround them, it seems that the Tang Dynasty is determined to blackmail his wife to order Ning Yuancheng.

"Mrs. Ye Ji is here?" The Tang army was very direct, holding torches to surround Ye Ji and the others tightly.

Ye Ji stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, why are you blocking my way?" ”

"You're the famous Lady Ye Ji?" A middle-aged Confucian general dressed as a man entered Ye Ji's field of vision. Mrs. Ye Ji said seriously. In Xia Zhang Shousi, he was ordered by the Holy Lord to escort Mrs. Ye Ji back to Ningyuan City to fight against the Tuqi Shi people! ”

"Escort? We don't need your kindness, as long as you get out of the way, we will naturally find our way back. Lu Shangqing stood in front of Ye Ji and spoke coldly.

Zhang Shousi laughed and said, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. I advise you that you don't have to fight for words, in this situation, it is better for Ningyuan City to belong to my Datang than to be robbed by the Tuqi Shi people, at least the lady can still make a rich life, and you don't have to become a ghost under the knife of the Tuqi Shi people. ”

Ye Ji said coldly: "Who said that we can't stop the Tuqi Shi people? My husband is still alive, he will come back, whether it is the Turgish people or you, they can't rob Ningyuan City! ”

"Humph! A woman's words. Let me tell you the truth, the Holy Lord has appointed me as the governor of Ningyuan City, whether you want it or not, everything is a certainty. As for the Li Huaitang you mentioned, if he is still alive, the saint will naturally be awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom at that time, in recognition of his contribution to opening up the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can enjoy all the glory and wealth. Zhang Shousi straightforwardly broke the Tang Dynasty's scheme.

Ye Ji finally chose to lay down her weapon, after all, resistance would only increase casualties and be of no benefit. She believed that as long as Li Huaitang returned, these Tang army officers and soldiers could only work in vain.

Zhang Shousi was overjoyed, ordered someone to surrender the armor and war horses of the six monkeys and others, and escorted them to Shule Town together with Ye Ji, waiting for the opportunity to enter Ningyuan City strongly.

Zhang Shousi was originally guarding Guazhou, and when he received the secret order of 800 miles to be delivered urgently, he personally led 2,000 knights under his command to rush to Bahuan City day and night. Before he arrived at Bahuan City, the people sent by Wuxin found him head-on, brought Wuxin's news, and learned that Ye Ji had escaped from Bahuan City, and he even passed Bahuan City without entering, and rushed to Shule Town non-stop, and received the news of the defenders' rangers near Shule Town, and finally intercepted Ye Ji before leaving the country.

The first step for the Tang Dynasty to seize Ningyuan City was to control Ye Ji, the second step was to transfer troops, and the third step was to fill the migratory population.

Although Wu Xin did not keep Ye Ji, in the end, Zhang Shousi still caught Ye Ji as he wished and completed the first step. Taking Ye Ji and others into Shule Town, Zhang Shousi took out the secret decree of the saint again, and ordered the Anxi Army to transfer 3,000 soldiers of the Wucai Army from all over the country to gather in Shule Town, and then open the armament warehouse in Shule Town to take all the armor, with 5,000 elite entourage, Zhang Shousi was confident that the armed forces of Ningyuan City would be integrated under his command.

The last step was to be taken care of by Ye Ji's uncle Qi Jishan, and the subsequent decree would order him to assassinate Ning Yuan, and his main work was to relocate more than 10,000 women and children and arrange the transfer of food and weapons.

As orders were issued from Chang'an City, the entire Anxi and Hexi Corridor areas were moved, and a large number of weapons, equipment, and food baggage were continuously transported to Shule Town, and people who didn't know thought that Anxi was going to have a big war.

At the junction of Anxi and Hexi, the usually desolate area is boiling at the moment, and in the past few days, many convoys have come from the Hexi area, and the items transported are said to be grain. However, a caravan went in the opposite direction with the convoy coming from Hexi. They had just crossed Yanqi Town and walked out of Anxi.

In the caravan, there was a very special strong slave, his ragged appearance was not Hu Feihan, strangely, he was actually wearing a silk undershirt, through the torn shirt, a long scratch on his chest was faintly visible, no one knew his background, asked where he came from, but he was at a loss and did not know what to say.
