Yuwen Wen and his brother Yu Wenming and his party went all the way east along the official road, resting at the post station along the way every night and continuing to rush the next day.

They first passed through the ancient capital Luoyang and then went east out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and Yuwen Wen also remembered the legendary ancient battlefield of the three Taoyuan brothers fighting Wenhou Lu Fengxian outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

After the Tiger Prison Pass to the east into the border of Xingzhou, Xingzhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenzhou is the cousin of the two brothers' father Yuwen Liang, Yuwen Shifei, the father of Yuwen Zhou and Yu Wenliang's father Yu Wendao are brothers.

With this relationship, the two brothers Yuwen Wen and Yu Wenming are traveling in a bright and bright way, and of course they want to visit their cousins.

When Yuwentai broke with Gao Huan, the Taizu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and moved west to Guanzhong with the clan, Yuwenzhou and his father Yuwenshi were captured in Jinyang, and his father was killed, and the young Yuwenzhou was sent to the palace as a eunuch after being cleaned.

About ten years ago, when Zhou and Qi exchanged prisoners, Yu Wenxuan returned to Guanzhong, and after several changes in his position, he is now the assassin of Xingzhou.

In the original historical trajectory, Yu Wenxuan responded to the call of Chi Jiong, the governor of Xiangzhou, to raise troops against Yang, and was defeated and killed by Yang Su, the commander of the marching army, who came to quell the rebellion, more than two months later.

Yes, it is the later Sui Dynasty minister Yang Su, the Yang Su who assisted Yang Guang, the king of Jin, in his struggle for the crown prince, and the Yang Su who left Yang Gong's secret treasure in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

Bidding farewell to their cousin, the brothers led the convoy and began to turn south, passing through Xuchang, who had been coerced by the Son of Heaven for many years to order the princes, all the way south, but at this time they were no longer publicizing it and only said that the family members of the Duke of Qiguo were going south.

Along the way, Yu Wenwen's 'invented' flying chess (flying chess) for his wife Yu Chi Chi to relieve boredom was very popular, and he prepared a few sets of chess before his trip, and everyone now has a lot of fun when they rest at the station.

Different from the original chess cards of this era, the flying bird chess is simple but very playable, both to talk about some strategies and because of the roll of the dice caused by accidents, it is really a "must-have thing for home travel" to pass the time, this trip he specially prepared a lot of chess to distribute to his brother and his subordinates to relieve boredom, adding a touch of fun to the long journey of the group.

First, Yu Chi Chifan taught his sister-in-law Li and then spread to Yu Wenming, and the actress Liu Caiyun also quickly taught her husband Zhang Dingfa by the way, and the little eunuch Li Sanjiu taught Yuwen 15 and the four brothers of Abacus Zhu: Lin Youdi, Fu Youcai, Zhang Yiman, and Hu Sanzi.

These four stunned boys only learned to ride horses not long ago, and at first they were mixed in with the guards a day or two ago, but now their legs are worn out and they can only lie on the carriage and sigh.

In addition to Lin Youdi and a godmother, the other three parents died and had no other relatives, seeing that Lord Lang would not beat and scold at every turn, he decided to follow the journey, which is why Yuwenwen chose orphans as servants in the first place - no worries.

The four were stunned, but it was also an advantage, and Yu Wenwen delegated the 'high-tech' work of configuring ** to them to operate, and carried out it in strict accordance with Yu Wenwen's "safety operation specifications" in the courtyard outside the city.

It's just that time is in a hurry and the saltpeter and sulfur on the market in Chang'an can't be purchased in large quantities so as not to expose their whereabouts, so the final product only has two IED and several earth-shaking thunders, the first IED was used up for testing, and the second helped Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, to 'cross the catastrophe' and finally fell short, and the earth-shaking thunder was exhausted when the Tianyuan Emperor Yuwenyun was replenished.

Lin Youdi's Fa Xiao, Huang Aqi, who was previously a 'seller', and his widowed mother Chen stayed in the courtyard outside Chang'an City, and Yu Wenwen asked the old housekeeper to arrange some livelihood for his mother and son to live a self-sufficient life after a while.

He did not dare to use the servant who had betrayed his master once.

At present, the journey has been smooth, the only regret is that Yu Wenwen's progress in unlocking the 'new posture' has been stagnant, and Wei Chi Chifan came back to his senses after a few days of confusion, no matter how his husband 'coerced and enticed', he just refused to cooperate.

On this day, the convoy was marching on the official road, and Yuwen Wen led Yuwen Fifteen to record the terrain and main roads with a notebook on the side, which was his preparation for the future, and Zhang Dingfa quietly stepped forward between the two of them.

"Princess, take a step to speak."

Yuwen Wen instructed Fifteen to continue recording, and then rode aside with Zhang Dingfa and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't look left or right, the county lord." Zhang Dingfa approached Yuwenwen and whispered: "I have been paying attention to this way, and I found that there is a tail following a few days ago." ”

"What did Fa Ge say was that there was a problem with those merchants? Ben Gong also noticed it, and he talked to him all day long, and kept looking at the carriage. Yuwen Wen sneered, "It was about the beginning of Xuchang, and several groups of people took turns to load the goods to follow, could it be a horse bandit?" ”

Zhang Dingfa was slightly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Yu Wenwen, a wealthy county prince with zero experience in the rivers and lakes, to notice that someone took turns to relay and watch, coughed lightly and continued: "Not only in the back, but also in the far ahead. ”

Caravan travelers like to push and huddle on the road, and when they see a large convoy, they naturally try to follow as much as possible, and the so-called fox and fake tiger are so that all the heroes from all walks of life don't take their own knives, so it is normal for a caravan to follow Yuwenwen and them.

However, Yu Wenwen is not a fool who only cares about walking with his head covered, anyone who goes out these years may be a potential criminal, many teams that travel normally will inevitably not be able to think about it when they encounter a single businessman, anyway, who can find out after the destruction of the corpse?

He had noticed that there was a problem with the merchant who followed him but he was not sure, but now that Zhang Dingfa, a professional and former horse bandit boss he had "hired", said that there was a problem, it confirmed that his previous guess was correct.

"How do you deal with it in Fago's opinion?"

"It is said that the scale of our convoy is not small, and the horse bandits will not be able to eat all the way, and if it is common sense, I am afraid that several roads will be attacked in one place."

"This is the Central Plains border densely populated, and there are often people passing by on the official road, if you want to rob it, it will be about one blow, and it won't take too long to succeed."

"But I am afraid that the scene is ugly when several families work together, and I think that there should be no more than three ways, and many of them are at least twice the number of our people."

Yuwen Wen couldn't help but nod when he saw that he was right, and asked in a low voice after a moment's silence: "It's not that my father is disrespectful, may I ask if you are to lead this robbery, what kind of plan will you grasp the most?" ”

"If the county prince doesn't mind, I have some ideas."

"It's okay, if you have any ideas, say it boldly, and my father will coordinate with my brother."

Zhang Dingfa heard that a stone fell to the ground in his heart, he found that there were horse bandits staring at his own convoy in the past few days, his heart was quite worried, there were sixty or seventy people in the convoy this time, the scale is not small, the average horse bandit will not be boring, but he has been a horse bandit for many years, and he knows that what he does is to lick the blood with a knife, starve to death the cowardly, and support the bold.

Once he moves, he will definitely attack with all his might, if his own defense is insufficient, I am afraid that it will be bad, he has made up his mind that in case Yu Wenwen and Yu Wenming do not take his admonition seriously, no matter what, he will take Liu Caiyun to escape from the team in private.

It's just that why does the county always call himself a "fat brother"?

The two of them muttered for a while, and then Yu Wenwen and Yu Wenming met again, and a moment later, more than a dozen guards galloped and caught the tail that followed behind the convoy.

"Uncles spare your lives, I'm just a passing businessman, I really don't know what big bosses are!" A thin man was tied up and pressed to the ground and couldn't move, and Zhang Dingfa led several guards to interrogate the horse bandit's ears and eyes.

Zhang Dingfa originally wanted to show his means in front of Yu Wenwen, so that this thin man who pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not admit that he was a horse bandit could see what life was better than death, but Yu Wenwen said that there was no need to be so bloody and violent.

I saw a guard cover the thin man's face with the soaked tulle towel according to his instructions, and after covering it one by one, the thin man's struggle became more and more intense, and after covering another one, his whole body began to twitch, and then Yuwenwen asked someone to take down all the wet wipes.

Everyone present watched the whole process, except for Yu Wenwen, all of whom turned blue: this feeling of slowly suffocating is really terrifying!

"How? One more time? Yuwen Wen said to the thin man with a smile, and then turned to the three tied up next to him: "Don't worry, the three of you all have a share." ”

"I say, I say!" The thin man inhaled and shouted with horror on his face, for fear of being tortured again if he took a slow step, "I will say everything, uncle, don't come again!" ”

He had a crying tone in his words, and he was also frightened when he watched the torture of the other three people, and he scrambled to say that he was willing to confess, Zhang Dingfa looked at Yu Wenwen with a shocked look in his eyes:

God, how did he come up with this method......

Somewhere, several men were gathering in the room to drink, and one of them had a striking scar on his face from top left to bottom right.

A man pushed the door open and approached Scarface and said, "Boss, you're ready." ”

"What does Master Li say?"

"Let's do it according to what I said before, and after the matter is done, the woman will belong to him, and half of the property will be in the family, and the horses will be opened in three or seven, and he will be three."

Scarface sneered when he heard this: "This pervert thinks about girls all day long!" ”

"What is there to do with that rich lady, the fine skin and tender meat are good-looking, and everyone can't hold it up for one night, it's not as good as the horses!" The other person also sneered.

"Big boss, this seems to be the family of the Duke of Qiguo, it's really going to make a big fuss"

"If it is really the family of the Duke of Qiguo, how can there be no soldiers to escort them? It's just that Lang Jun, who doesn't know the height of the sky, took the little lady out to hang out, eating and drinking with a big hat. ”

"Even if it's true, let's finish this and go away, what can I do!"

Everyone talked and talked for a long time, and the matter was settled, Scarface drank the wine and then threw the bowl on the ground: "Gather the brothers, keep your spirits up and prepare for a big fight!" ”

"From now on, no one is allowed to go out without Lao Tzu's permission, if anyone dares to leak the news, Lao Tzu will pick his skin!"
