After three years of crusade, unconsciously, Zhu Li's power has grown to such a point that it will also give those eunuchs a headache.

"These eunuchs are really not enough to achieve and more to lose; Thinking about the Zhenguan period, how prosperous my Tang Dynasty was, I didn't intend to cause trouble Xiao Wall, there were eunuchs who took power inside, and there were friends outside. Yue Pengju's face was sad, and he vented his indignation.

"Since you have a plan, you might as well take Zaixing with you, and you can take care of it." Yue Pengju was powerless in the face of this situation, after all, he only joined the army in a county, and he usually used thieves and hooligans as his company.

When Zhu Li heard this, he just thought about it for a while, and nodded, it is indeed inconvenient to be alone, under the pursuit, he didn't even dare to really fall asleep, and there was someone by his side to replace him, it must be much better.

"Yue will go to Shuozhou with the letter of the envoy." Yue Pengju saw that Zhu Li agreed, then turned his head to look at Yang Zaixing, and continued: "Zaixing, I will take Song Gong's family and Erhu to Shuozhou, and you can stay by the envoy's side with peace of mind and protect the envoy." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely protect you from any harm." Yang Zaixing immediately responded solemnly.

Zhu Li looked at the two of them, then at Tan Erhu's family, and Yue Pengju's family, and after just thinking for a moment, he said decisively: "Okay, in that case, after I finish writing the letter, I will leave immediately with Zaixing, and I must not let those dead people know about the relationship between us; Brother Pengju don't stay any longer, Zhu Wen is now the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, and the entire Henan Mansion will be under his control, this person has mixed good and bad, in order to avoid incidents, you should also set off as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Li gave some advice, then took the pen and ink handed over by Tan Erhu, spread out the rough straw paper, and wrote the letter seriously, he had to explain many things clearly to Guo Qizuo, so as not to continue to worry about them.

Zhu Li first told Guo Qizuo that he was safe now.

Then he instructed Guo Qizuo to vigorously develop Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and the Hetao region, and not to easily trigger a war, because Zhu Li came from later generations, and naturally knew that the fall of the Tang Dynasty would have at least more than ten years to go, and standing up against the Tang Dynasty now would make it more difficult for the people in the areas under his rule to survive, which he did not want to see.

At the same time, he also mentioned that let Guo Qizuo reuse Yue Pengju, if necessary, he might as well assist Wu Mourning to occupy the twenty-four states under the rule of Shan Yu Duhufu as soon as possible, and it is likely to become Shuozhou in the future to deal with the forward position of the Khitans, since it is impossible to get rid of the fact that he will face the Khitans in the future, he might as well ignite the war in the other party's territory, Zhu Li thought so.

After the letter was written, Zhu Li did not delay, and even had no time to change his bloody clothes, so he left everyone without delay, took Yang Zaixing, and hurried away to the southeast.

Yue Peng raised his eyes to see Zhu Li and the others go away, and he no longer hesitated, put away the letter, and immediately instructed Tan Erhu's family to pack their bags, and then returned to the county seat, and informed Song Yun's family to pack up and prepare for a long journey.

He spent a lot of money, bought two good horses, hired three carriages, and set off with several families to Shuozhou in the afternoon, and the neighbors of Wangwu County thought that they were living in their hometown because of Yang Zaixing's affairs, and moved to other places.

The ancients had a very strong sense of locality, and if it weren't for a better future or a last resort, most people would be willing to stay in their homeland to develop, and it is no wonder that their neighbors would have such speculations.

Yue Peng was dressed in a green robe, carrying an ancestral Liquan gun, carrying a long sword at his waist, walking in front of the horse, Tan Erhu carrying a hunting bow on his shoulder and a hunting knife tied to his waist, and followed him unhurriedly.

Three carriages, carrying three families of old and weak women and children, closely followed behind the two under the control of the coachman, and the group stayed overnight, only three days, to break away from the control area of Henan Province and enter the range of Jincheng in Zezhou.

On this day, in front of them, in the direction of Qinshui, more than ten horsemen galloped towards them, and the first person was wearing a Confucian shirt.

Yue Pengju naturally didn't recognize anyone, so in order to avoid trouble, he deliberately instructed Tan Erhu, the coachman and others to be polite to the side of the road.

This person is not small, he is the second brother Zhu Cun of the current Xuanwu Festival envoy Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen defected to the imperial court and was ordered to guard Henan Mansion, Zhu Cun as his close person, naturally reused, led troops to garrison Qinshui.

Zhu Cun is also very unfamiliar with Yue Pengju, and under the courtesy of Yue Pengju and others, he has no bad feelings, if there is no other reason, the two sides will be like passers-by and go their separate ways.

But there is someone around Zhu Cun who knows Yue Pengju, this person's name is Kou Yanqing, a native of Daliang, the Kou family is a general, and his father and ancestors are all Xuanwu Festival envoys, and now Zhu Wen is the Xuanwu Festival envoy, and the Kou family naturally defected to Zhu Wen.

Kou Yanqing is more than eight feet tall, good at volleys, and brave, because he has no military exploits, Zhu Wen temporarily let him guard his second brother Zhu Cun.

Kou Yanqing is young and brave, and in the entire Henan Mansion, he is a little famous, arrogant, and eager for quick success; Unfortunately, although Yue Pengju only joined the army in one county, he also had a slight name in Henan Prefecture, and the two were fortunate to meet once.

Seeing the attitude of Yue Pengju and his party, Kou Yanqing looked suspicious, and without waiting for Zhu Cun's signal, he immediately stepped forward to block the way of Yue Pengju and his party, and said: "Yue joins the army, so coincidentally, are you going to move?" ”

Yue Pengju saw that the person blocking the road was an acquaintance, and hurriedly said politely: "Kou Dalang, something happened to Brother Yue in the county, so I was ashamed to face my hometown neighbors, so I had to move my family north and talk about it after a while." ”

"Hmm" Kou Yanqing heard this, a little thoughtful, his eyes flickered, it didn't seem to be a bad intention, the horse was in the middle of the road, there was no intention of leaving, and continued: "Yue joined the army and was burdened by his brothers, and his family moved, this is a small section, but now that Zhu is in charge of Henan, it is the time to employ people, Brother Yue's martial arts are extraordinary, so he didn't think about taking refuge in the chief manager and serving the country?" ”

The conversation between the two aroused the interest of Zhu Cun and the others, and they came together; And Tan Erhu, who was behind Yue Pengju, also hurried to Yue Pengju's back and looked at the group of people opposite vigilantly.

Yue Pengju heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know why this Kou Yanqing was deliberately embarrassed, but with his observation, this person appeared rashly, and he must have a purpose, so he didn't dare to be careless, and said humbly: "Kou Dalang is raised below, Yue is a mediocre person, in the past, thanks to the love of the Ming Mansion, he joined the army, but he did a lot of things to catch thieves, and he didn't dare to boast of extraordinary martial arts; Now that the brothers are in trouble, they have harmed their neighbors, and they feel guilty, where do they dare to covet Gao Zhi and take refuge under the head of the house. ”

"Hahaha" Kou Yanqing heard this, raised his head and laughed, his expression was even more gloomy, he turned his head, arched his hand to Zhu Cun, who came to his side, and said in a low voice: "General, Yue Pengju is very brave, one hand has hit the whole Wang House, almost no resistance, this matter is not only known to his subordinates, but all the warriors in the Wang House know, and now the new manager, he does not want to work, but he moves his family north, I am afraid that there is something wrong." ”

"Well, there's such a thing." Zhu Cun listened to Kou Yanqing's words, and looked at Yue Pengju's gaze unkindly.

In his eyes, Zhu Wen is thirsty for talent, and he is a first-class good master, and this Yue Pengju in front of him, as a native of Henan, and with martial arts, but instead of serving his brothers, he moved his family north, which is indeed a bit ill-intentioned.

When his brother's new official took office, this man immediately resigned from his post in the army, and this behavior was not a slap in the face of his brother.

"Since it can't be used by me, let's just get rid of it." Zhu Cun looked at Yue Pengju's gaze, with a touch of viciousness, and indifferently looked at Kou Yanqing, and whispered.

"Nuo" Kou Yanqing heard this, and was secretly happy in his heart, he had great ambitions, he had just joined Zhu Wen, but he didn't have any achievements that he could handle, so he could only be an entourage for others, how could he be willing.

This Yue Pengju is also well-known in Wangwu County, which can be used as his advanced capital, so borrow the other party's head to use it, and he can also prove his ability to Zhu Cun, with this thought, he sold this fellow villager without hesitation, but for this reason, he harmed the villagers, this kind of behavior is simply thought-provoking, such a bad heart, it can be seen that Kou Yanqing is not a good type.

According to relevant records, Kou Yanqing once directly kicked an old man into the river and drowned on the bridge, just because the other party's legs and feet were not good and blocked his way, which shows that this person was born a bad guy with oil.

After getting Zhu Cun's promise, Kou Yanqing immediately turned his head to look at Yue Pengju, and said ruthlessly: "Yue Pengju, my general suspects that you moved your family north and have other plans, so you should leave your life today." ”

Just now, when Kou Yanqing turned his head, Yue Pengju saw the other party's expression, and he was on guard early in the morning, and now when he heard this, he said in his heart, this person had bad intentions early in the morning.

However, it also made Yue Pengju confirm one thing, it turned out that the guy with a meaty face turned out to be a general, since this was the case, Yue Pengju's expression sank, his eyes were slightly drunk, and he obviously had his own plans.

At this time, Kou Yanqing couldn't wait to swing his horse, raised his spear forward, and stabbed Yue Pengju who was sitting on the horse head-on.

For Kou Yanqing's sudden outburst, Tan Erhu and the three old and weak women and children sitting in the carriage were shocked and worried.

How would they know that they could encounter such a catastrophe just in an ordinary hurry, and the grief and indignation in everyone's hearts can be imagined.

Tan Erhu immediately took off his hunting bow and put on the arrows to carefully guard against the others opposite, but his cautious demeanor, in the eyes of the other party, made them laugh, it was really a dirt bun, just this bit of cowardice.
