Before the arrival of Tongguan reinforcements, the sergeants saw the disguised Nalan in the army, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the rest of the people saw that the situation was not good and fled to the mountains.

The sergeant wanted to chase after him, but Nalan shouted: "Poor Kou Mo chase, just keep the food." ”

After asking about the situation, he went to check on several people who had pretended to be officers and soldiers who had died in battle, and the injuries of several people were not serious, but they all committed suicide with poison in their mouths. And if you look closely at the braids and head shapes, they don't look like Hu people.

Li Hu said: "When I was a rebel scout, they were all Hu people, and these people seemed to be pure Han people. ”

"General Li doesn't know that since the Angang rebelled, the world collapsed, and some forces that were ready to move probably also wanted to take the opportunity to make waves."

"Oh, that's to be expected, too. Today, fortunately, you launched the rocket in time, and we came to answer the signal when we saw it. ”

"There is General Lao Li, the sound of iron hooves that you rushed to make them confused, otherwise they might have robbed the grain today."

"It's all for the imperial court, and they don't say so many polite words. We immediately organized the people to transport the grain to Tongguan. ”

So, the team carrying the grain moved towards Tongguan in the dark night, and the torches formed a fire dragon in the dark.

Nalan deliberately stared at Huangfu Dan, his disguise technique had apparently deceived her and bankrupted her plans. At this moment, she was also among the people, driving her carriage to Tongguan, still with a calm appearance.

Nalan felt in his heart, it was better to take her down after arriving at Tongguan and hand her over to the head of the camp to take care of, so that she would not go back to Qinglong Town to make trouble. Thinking of this, he caught up with Li Hu in a few steps and reported to Li Hu: "General Li, the last illusion case, there is already an eyebrow, and there is a suspect in the people's team, or we will take it down this time, so as not to make waves for her." ”

"Do you have proof?"

"After the illusion case, she hijacked a lady who passed through Qinglong Town, and the lady's uncle knew me well, and went deep into the tiger's den to negotiate with her in order to save people's hearts."

"Why did you kidnap that lady? Are those two passers-by still in Qinglong Town? ”

"Why do you want to rob, the internal situation is very complicated, and this humble position can't be explained. The uncle and nephew had already left the east of Hangu yesterday and went to Yuzhou. ”

"If it's so complicated, how can you not report it? Now that the two parties have gone to Yuzhou and are not reporting to the officials, if we arrest a man at will, we are afraid of causing the people to resist, and we will rely on them to transport grain in the future. ”

"The pavilion chief of Qinglong Town, the chief of Dugu Station, and the lowly post all know about this, so they didn't report to the official. Now is an extraordinary period, if this matter is reported to the Huayin County Government for careful review, I don't know when it will go? ”

"General Nalan, our garrison generally doesn't ask about civilian affairs, although it is a special period, we can't rely on some things to catch wind and shadows, and we can't attack a civilian man who delivers food."

"General Li, it is up to the general to decide whether to arrest or not, and besides, this is not a attack on the people. We have a lot of facts to prove that she is a very dangerous person. If you don't make a decision early, you will be disrupted. ”

"Alright, General Nalan, don't be so alarmist. Not to mention a small scout, it is the hundreds of thousands of troops of An Lushan who arrived at our Tongguan and told him to go back. We, Li Tang Jiangshan, will not allow him to make a mistake. ”

Nalan didn't say anything more, and suddenly remembered that Li Hu was also a member of the royal family, and it was inevitable that he was a little condescending, not to mention that he was just a seventh-grade captain.

After entering Tongguan, Huangfu Dan, like other people, received a silver reward, sat in his car, and ate a few Biluo that he bought. Seeing Nalan walking by, he jumped out of the car, holding the lotus leaf wrap in both hands, and said to Nalan: "Captain Nalan, I just bought Bi Luo, you can also have one, this night is really hard." ”

"Thank you, Boss Huangfu, I don't eat. You can't open the shop, you have to come to deliver food, see how dangerous this is, if it hurts you, what should I do? ”

"Thank you Captain Nalan for your concern, it can't hurt me, and besides, I am alone, it doesn't matter. Isn't it. ”

"How can it not matter? The hair and skin of the body are all given by your parents, so you should cherish it. ”

"Good! Cherish, cherish. ”

After Nalan finished speaking, he walked forward and did not answer her words. But as he left, he made a note of this woman in his mind, and he had never looked at her seriously before. This time, he inadvertently took a closer look, in addition to the smell of fireworks, although he is more than thirty, he has a good face and a well-proportioned figure. Before General Linghu left, he said that she was not from the rebel camp, so where did it come from?

Thinking about it, thinking about it, I muttered in my heart, why did the old general Linghu say goodbye? What kind of agreement did he reach with Huang Fu Dan?

At this moment, Linghu Zhao's uncle and nephew, hurried and hurried, failed to arrive in Yuzhou before dark, and landed in a small town called Jing'an, thirty miles away from Yuzhou, the people in the town heard that the rebels had captured Luoyang, most of them fled to the west or south, and the town street was empty. The uncle and nephew decided to invest in an inn first, stay up all night, and then rush to Yuzhou tomorrow morning.

After looking for half a street, I saw a "Xilai Inn" at the corner of the street, but the door was closed, and the building was already empty. It seems that people who have not been in war for many years are terrified of the rebels. Linghu Zhao saw that he couldn't open the door, so he had to palm it over, and the door bolt was immediately broken. I wondered why the door was bolted from the inside.

Walking inside, I saw that the inn was neatly placed, not messy at all, there was wine on the shelf, and there were dishes and chopsticks on the table. The second floor should be a guest room, and the back of it seems to be a kitchen. The two of them found a wooden stick to hold the door again, and were about to go to the back kitchen to find some food, but a person came out of front of them, holding a horizontal knife, and seeing that it was Linghu's uncle and nephew, he hurriedly put away the horizontal knife and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Linghu." Who is this next to you? "Obviously, Huang Fu Dan's makeup is good, and he has been hidden.

Linghu Zhao looked at it, it turned out to be Nangong Han, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, although he was fortified everywhere in Qinglong Town, it was really a joy to meet him in this desperate place.

Oh, this is the Yan'er you healed! ”

"Ahh How did it get like this? ”

"That's ugly, isn't it? Worried about encountering rebels on the road, he dressed up like this. How did Mr. Nangong get here? ”

"Oh, I see. I, after the fall of Luoyang, fled all the way here, preparing to go to Yuzhou tomorrow morning. ”

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to Yuzhou for one night."

"The old gentleman is very worried, but now the post road is out of control, and it is impossible to protect the lives of soldiers and bandits when walking at night."

"Also, in troubled times, no matter how high your kung fu is, it won't help anything."

"Old gentleman, Linghu lady, I'm very tired. Come with me! After speaking, he led the two to the back kitchen. The back kitchen was steaming hot at this time, and when the lid was opened, it turned out to be Bi Luo.

It seems to be Nangong Han's craftsmanship, which is very rough, but after all, there is still food, so the three of them don't care so much, and they take it and stuff it into their mouths.

I was halfway through eating when it got dark.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, not a few horses, but a herd of horses galloping on the post road. Nangong Han said eagerly: "It's not good, the rebels have arrived." ”

Ling Hu Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she pulled Ling Hu Zhao and said, "Father, how is it good?" How is it good? ”

He replied, "Don't panic."

Nangong Han hurriedly scooped a scoop of water and poured it into the stove, extinguished the fire, and then wrapped the remaining Bi Luo with lotus leaves. Just as Uncle Linghu was hesitating, he opened a pile of firewood and grass, and gently pushed the wall, and there was a door on the wall. The three of them entered the door, Nangong Han moved the firewood and grass to the same place, swept away the footprints just now, picked up a lamp, closed the door, this is a wall, walked down for more than ten steps, it is a house, there is a couch in it, and there is an upward staircase, Nangong Han said to Ling Huzhao: "The old gentleman will go up with me to have a look." Linghu Lady can rest here first. ”

Ling Hu Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief since she entered this dark grid, she heard that wherever the rebels went, they burned, killed and looted, and encountered a life in danger, how could a little woman not be afraid.

Nangong Han and Linghu Zhao walked up more than a dozen steps along this staircase, which is a six-foot square grid, which hides blades, bows and arrows, and there is an irregular hole in the wall, and the small hole seems to be covered by grass on the wall, and from the small hole you can observe the post road from north to south, and part of the street scene.

Linghu Zhao said: "Mr. Nangong, he is really not an ordinary person. If we hadn't met you today, our uncle and nephew would probably have to run for their lives. ”

"Mr. Linghu has won the prize. In Qinglong Town, you must have a little knowledge of my identity, don't hide it from the old man, we secret agents of the imperial court have strongholds in various places, some are used to save lives, and some are used to hide, which is nothing. But old man, I still want to ask you about Ling Huzhao, I don't know if you really don't know, or if you don't know. We're grasshoppers on a rope now, and you should at least trust me. ”

"Mr. Nangong, don't be suspicious, I'm Ling Huzhao."

"Uncle, rejoice, please accept your nephew's worship."

"Hurry up, I can't afford this. I'm still a fugitive from the court. ”

"Haha! Did my uncle test me, or did he feel at ease with me? If I had the heart, you would have been taken down when you entered Chang'an City. ”

Linghu Zhaoqing said for a moment: "You and I are destined, let's go side by side." After speaking, he also bowed deeply.

As he spoke, he saw a large group of rebel cavalry rushing over through the sight hole, and the rebels were really strong and strong, and the cavalry were fierce and awe-inspiring, full of murderous spirit, and the horses were also strong. This An Lushan, who has lived in Yandi for a long time, took the opportunity to guard against the Khitan, Jurchen and other departments, but actually managed his own forces.

After about two or three thousand cavalry, the town and street were already full of smoke and dust, and these three thousand cavalry should have gone south to seize Yuzhou. Take advantage of the unpreparedness of Yuzhou and be caught off guard.

I heard Nalan say: "Xuanyuan Ledao, the assassin of Yuzhou, should be in Tongguan at this moment." If there is no official in charge of Tongguan, maybe he will flee again. Ling Huzhao said.

Nangong Han analyzed: "If this is the case, Yuzhou is lost, the southbound passage is choked, and how can the Jiangnan tax reach the imperial court." ”

"Then you can still go to the Sword Pavilion, the lychees that the concubine likes, not all of them are three hundred miles expedited, and you can reach Chang'an in a few days."

"Alas! Uncle, now is not the time to taunt Your Majesty. ”

"I can't commit this crime of deceiving the king, no one among the people knows about it, and no one knows about it."

"Shhhh Looks like another team of people is coming? ”

Looking at the sight hole, I saw hundreds of rebels escorting a person who looked like a general, and when they came to the inn, several sergeants shone it with torches and said: "Young marshal, there is an inn here, let's stay here tonight." ”

The man who was called the general, who was not very old, about twenty years old, saw the sergeants like this, and said, "Well! This inn has a couch, so that you can sleep well, so that you will not be in the big tent, cold and rainy. I saw more than a dozen entourages following the young marshal into the inn. There were dozens of sergeants left outside, and a captain said to the sergeant: "Everyone light a fire on the spot and rest, and take turns to work every two hours, there must be no mistake!" ”

Ling Hu Zhao pulled down Nangong Han Dao and said softly: "If they live for ten days and half a month, won't we be trapped inside." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, if that's the case, we still have an exit. It's just that it can't be used. I also thought that they would use this place as a stronghold between Luoyang and Tongguan, with Tongguan in the west and Xiangyang in the south. I didn't think I guessed it, but I didn't do much preparation. ”

"Then are they going to attack Hangu Pass, Nalan they are more than lucky, and there are only more than 100 soldiers in Hangu Pass......"

"Uncle, don't worry too much, I think the rebels will take Yuzhou first, it makes no sense to take Hangu or not, confront the Tongguan defenders here, leaving a buffer zone, you can test it first."

"Well, let them know."

"Rest assured, the news has been released."

"You court spies really have some means."

"This is a little different from when you were in the army."

"The old man has not licked the blood for more than 30 years, and today I saw three deserters from Luoyang robbing money and killing people on the post road, and the old man killed him in a fit of anger."

"This kind of scum is not a pity to die innocently. It can be seen that the uncle is not less brave back then. ”

"It's useless to say this, now there are more than a hundred rebels outside, or, we have to kill the generals and go out to have a good time."

"Ha......" Nangong laughed coldly, suddenly realized something, and covered his mouth again: "It seems that you are really tired of being alive." ”

"What a good nephew!"

……

Linghu Zhao and Nangong Han were trapped in the dark room, and Nalan was summoned by the camp manager in the early hours of the morning and was told: "Immediately lead the troops back to defend Hangu Pass, the rebels have waved their troops to the south to seize Yuzhou, and it is estimated that they will attack Hangu Pass soon, and the remaining grain in Qinglong Cang will not arrive at Tongguan for the time being, and the imperial court has decided to increase the number of troops to the front line of Kunhan by 20,000 troops." ”

After Nalan got the order, he immediately led the sergeant and the people back to Hangu Pass, and on the way he kept an eye on Huangfu Dan, but Huang Fu Dan did not make any unusual movements except for her carriage.

When he was halfway there, a sergeant Pegasus came to report, which was Duguyue's handwriting: "The grain of Qinglong Cang has been robbed!" ”

Nalan sighed: "How can you be so careless. Then he hurried to Qinglong Town.
