The carriage galloped down the road for a while, and then suddenly came to a slow stop. Li Mao was stuffing half a chicken leg in his mouth when he felt the carriage he had made stopped. For a moment, his face turned frightened, thinking that those people were going to attack him. At this time, the person who poked his head in at the beginning lifted the curtain and sat down in the carriage himself, and the man personally poured a bowl of wine for Li Mao and handed it to him.

Li Mao carefully looked at the person in front of him, this person was no different from the probe who came in just now, and he still had a black scarf on his face and refused to show his true face. Li Mao was also full at this time, and his spirit recovered a little, so he asked the man in black curiously: "Is my brother asking you to save me?" Can you leave your name, in the future, I will let my brother repay you well. ”

The man in black shook his head and said, "We have never known your brother in our lives, but we were rescued by Lingzun when my brother was down, so after learning that you were caught in the dungeon, I rescued you regardless of life and death in order to repay Lingzun's life-saving grace." Now here we are, hiding from the pursuers on the official road. As soon as the morning dawns and the gate of Wuwei County opens, you can be sent back to the Li Mansion. There is also a sentence that you must bring to your brother: The imperial court issued an official document a few days ago, asking Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions, to thoroughly investigate your brother's plot to rebel, and you must let him prepare early. ”

Li Mao was shocked in his heart, but he refused to forgive him and scolded: "It must be Li Wenyuan's little servant who reported this matter to the imperial court, and he wants to ruin our plan, I will definitely inform my brother of this matter when I go back, thank you brother for the reminder." ”

It didn't take long for the gates of Wuwei County to open. People who had been waiting outside for a long time began to pour into the city gates. The man in black said to Li Mao: "You are in the carriage, eating and drinking raw." I'll take care of the rest, as long as I don't make a sound. ”

Seeing that he nodded politely, the man said no more, and turned around and went out of the carriage. There was a sound of rustling outside, and Li Mao thought to himself that it should be those people who were changing their clothes to go into the city. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of the groom urging the horse again, and the carriage returned to the official road and slowly moved forward.

I didn't sleep all night, and at this time Li Mao had just escaped, and his spirit at this time was a little relaxed. I was a little sleepy in the shaking of the carriage, and I don't know how long it was, but the shouts of the soldiers were heard outside: "Someone stop! What's in the wagon? ”

Li Mao's originally somewhat heavy mind suddenly woke up, and he heard the voice of the man in black say to the soldiers: "Are you blind?" If there are no people in the carriage, can there be something else? ”

Then came the soldier's angry voice: "Heh, you don't know what to do." Your military master said that you hid something forbidden in your car, so you have to check it out now. Brothers, give it to me. ”

Li Mao trembled with fright in the carriage, presumably the news that he had been robbed from the dungeon this night must have reached Wuwei County, and now the four entrances of the city gate should have their own portraits pasted, and they wanted to arrest themselves, if they were discovered by these soldiers at this time, there would be nowhere to escape.

Just when Li Mao was anxious, the voice of the man in black came from outside again: "Look at it." What is it? Keep your dog's eyes open and take a good look at what this is? The carriages in Lord Li Liang's house dare to stop, you are so bold. Lord Li Liang is the chief general of our Wuwei County Yingyang Mansion. There are forbidden things in his car, so isn't that saying that my family is going to rebel? ”

Seeing that the man in black took out Li Liang's token, the soldier was obviously a little panicked, and his tone softened a little at the moment: "It turned out to be the car on Lord Li Liang's house, so there is no need to check it carefully." Our brothers are also on official business here, after all, it is related to the safety of the city defense of Wuwei County, and we dare not slack off. There are many offenses to my brothers, and I invite my brother Haihan. ”

"In that case, do you want me to take you to find out what forbidden things are hidden in this carriage?" The man in black also said in a higher voice at this time.

"No, no. I won't delay your official business. Brothers, let go! The soldier hurriedly said.

Then I heard the man in black snort, got into the car, said to the groom to go, and the carriage began to move forward again. In a few moments, the noise had faded away, and the surroundings of the carriage were quiet again. At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the man in black poked his head in and said, "It's here, get off." ”

Li Mao got out of the car and found himself in an alley. hurriedly looked around, only to find that he was at the back door of Li Liang's house. So after saying goodbye to the man in black, he pushed the door and walked in. After Li Mao entered the house, he saw the housekeeper in the backyard and asked him, "Where is my brother?" Take me to him quickly, I have something important to tell you. ”

The housekeeper looked at the person in front of him carefully for a long time, and then he recognized that the thin and somewhat out of shape person in front of him was Li Mao, the younger brother of his own head Li Rail, so he sent someone to inform Li Rail and took Li Mao to the back house. Li Liang was naturally very happy to learn that his younger brother was out of danger, and hurriedly came out of the house, grabbed Li Mao's hand and said:

"Where have you been these days? I'm really in a hurry. How's it going to do what I've told you? ”

When Li Mao heard Li Liang ask about his whereabouts these days, his heart was also sour, and he said with a crying voice: "My good brother, do you know that your brother and I are almost going to die in that dark dungeon!" Then Li Mao told Li Liang everything he had experienced in Yongdeng County, and told Li Liang that now Li Wenyuan should have known about it, and he secretly contacted the Turks and wanted to establish himself as the king.

After hearing this, Li Liang suddenly realized and said: "I said that how did Li Wenyuan come here for the first time, and how did he have the ability to get tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, it turned out that they were all exchanged for the son of the great khan. ”

Li Mao took a sip of water, calmed down for a while, and continued: "Later, a group of people came, saying that the man in black who was saved by our father desperately came out of the dungeon and tried every means to send me here. Let me tell Big Brother. Now the imperial court should know about this matter of our plan, and has issued a holy decree to ask Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions, to thoroughly investigate this matter. Now that the will has left the capital, and it will reach the Western Regions in a few days, he said that we should make plans early. ”

Li Liang was a little puzzled, a series of recent events were too coincidental, but his father was indeed a heroic and righteous man, and he helped countless people in his life, and he didn't know whether what that person said was true or false. So he immediately said, "You first have a good life and recuperation in the house." I'll send someone to Moon Lake to have a look, and we'll discuss it again. ”
