Late at night came to Luoyang City, in the middle of the world - Luoyang City, has always been the former capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, at this moment Gao Huan supported the puppet Xiaojing Emperor Yuan Shanjian has already moved to Yecheng, the Northern Wei Dynasty in the last years of the ups and downs of the war, Luoyang has become the focus of various forces.

At this time, it has been dilapidated, because Luoyang is close to the Western Wei Dynasty, so it has become a strategic place for the East and West Wei Dynasty to compete, the city has not been completely repaired, the former wealthy businessmen, Qingliu Yashi has long been gone, the traffic is full of flowers has become a cloud of smoke.

Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, regarded this place as a strategic point to attack the Western Wei Dynasty, and sent the great Situ Houjing (Hou Jing and Gao Huan are both fellow villagers of Huaishuo Town, born lame, the right leg is shorter than the left leg, although the body is defective, but it is still strong and martial, and the arrow is a hundred shots, plus he learned the art of war from Murong Shaozong, a descendant of the Northern Yan, with his eyes above the top, brave and strategic, and serving Gao Huan alone in the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty), Daxingtai is high to train troops here, so Luoyang has been effectively governed, and it is slowly recovering, but there are few pedestrians on the street, there are few inns, and the soldiers are checking everywhere, the military camp is stationed on the bank of the Luoshui River outside the city.

Sima Ziru and Su Sui inquired for a long time, and finally walked to the Luoshui Houjing military camp, only to see that the camp was neatly arranged, orderly, large and small military tents were towering, and from the outside of the barracks fence, seven soldiers formed a group, patrolling back and forth, Sima Ziru and Su Sui went straight to the gate of the camp fence to report, only to see the haggard Sima Ziru stepped forward and talked to one of the guards and said: "Little brother, can you inform the big Situ Hou Jing, saying that the old man Sima Ziru is visiting!" ”

The soldier was very arrogant at first, but when he heard that it was Sima Ziru, he immediately bowed and said: "It turned out to be the left servant of Shangshutai, wait a minute!" Then he opened the gate of the camp and ran in.

I saw running outside a large military tent, bowing and kneeling on one knee to report: "Report, Da Situ, there are people outside the camp who ask to see!" ”

At this time, a voice came from the military tent: "No one is gone!"

The soldier hurriedly replied: "No! The soldier was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a voice from inside the tent: "Who?" Late night disturbance! ”

The soldier hurriedly turned around and said, "It's Shangshutai's left servant who shot Sima Ziru!" ”

After a while, I saw a lame man in the big tent limping out. I saw that this person was powerful, although he was lame, but he did not lose the demeanor of a general, wearing red armor, holding a ring-headed saber in his hand, Hou Jing stopped in front of the big tent and blurted out: "Are you sure it is the left servant who shoots Sima Ziru?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied: "That's what the person reported!" ”

Hou Jing then stopped and pondered for a while, and said, "Please shoot into the military tent!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly ran outside the camp gate, Hou Jing turned around and returned to the big tent, came to the middle hall and sat down, rummaged through a pile of documents on the desk, and saw that he took out a document with a yellow cover, on which was written "edict", placed in the middle of the case, and waited quietly.

After a while, I only heard a preaching outside the camp gate: "Report to the big Situ, the left servant has shot!" ”

At this time, Hou Jing put on a full official posture and said loudly: "Come in!" ”

I saw Sima Ziru take a young scholar into the military tent, Sima Ziru came to the center of Hou Jing's tent and bowed and said, "Da Situ, don't come unharmed!" ”

Hou Jing didn't care about Sima Ziru, but he kept staring intently at the scholar next to him, Su Sui also looked at Hou Jing for a long time, and when he heard Sima Ziru speak, Hou Jing subconsciously came back to his senses and asked curiously: "Zuo Servant, who is next to you..." ”

Sima Ziru turned his head to look at Su Sui, and hurriedly replied to Hou Jing: "This is my protégé!" ”

Hou Jing looked at it for a moment and praised it sincerely: "The appearance is good!" Eyes like torches! Then he turned around and asked, "Sima Ziru, are you guilty?" ”

Sima Zi said subconsciously: "Da Situ, what is my crime? ”

Hou Jing picked up the edict on the desk, got up and opened the edict and read: "The left servant of Shangshu Province shoots Sima Ziru, and receives the edict from the prime minister!" Hou Jing's voice was very long to show solemnity.

I saw Sima Ziru hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, got up and knelt, and said with words in his mouth: "Receive the message... At this time, Su Sui also knelt down with Sima Ziru.

Hou Jing then read the edict: "In accordance with the decree of the Prime Minister, Sima Ziru has been in vain to accept his kindness, and has repeatedly received grace, but he does not want to repay the reward, and he actually surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty after being captured, and from now on, he ordered all state capitals and counties, if there is Sima Ziru's whereabouts, immediately lock it up, escort Jinyang, and hand it over to the imperial Shitai for questioning!" Then Hou Jing closed the edict, raised the edict with his right hand and said, "Receive the edict... ”

Sima Ziru heard the edict after mourning, kneeling with his head down, sweat flowing down his cheeks, his arms propped up on the ground and trembling, he couldn't believe it was true for a long time, the matter was unexpected, King Gao actually knew that he was captured, and replied tremblingly: "Xie Cheng Prime Minister Longen!" After getting up, he fell to the ground, Su Sui hurriedly helped Sima Ziru at this time, got up forcefully and walked to the middle hall, and respectfully stretched out his hands to receive the edict of Gao Huan, the supreme commander of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

At this time, Hou Jing shouted outside the tent: "Come on, lock it immediately!" A few soldiers rushed in outside the tent and tied up Sima Ziru and Su Sui.

Hou Jing then walked out of the middle hall and came to Sima Ziru, who was tied, and said: "The left servant shoots, it's rude, it's not unjust, this is the prime minister's decree, and I can't do it!" ”

Sima Ziru was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to complain, and then said dejectedly: "Da Situ, I know!" But my guest is not guilty, he shouldn't be implicated by me, please be gracious to Da Situ, can you let it go? ”

Hou Jing asked rhetorically: "Don't you know what the crime of collaborating with the enemy is?" Now your people and family members are all in prison! Your old age, protégés naturally include your protégés! ”

Sima Ziru raised his head and said angrily: "Wronged! ”

Hou Jing said disdainfully: "Since you are wronged, you go back to Jinyang to plead to the prime minister, you can make it clear, I hope that the left servant will not hate me!" I also obey the instructions, but I am really helpless! ”

Sima Ziru said dejectedly: "Alas... Thank you! ”

Hou Jing waved his right hand and said, "Go down, don't slack off!" Escort Jinyang tomorrow! ”

At this time, Su Sui was also at a loss, the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, so he could only watch being tied up, accompanying Sima Ziru to wait for the crime, and looked back at Hou Jing before being escorted out of the big tent, but he didn't expect Hou Jing to stare at Su Sui who turned back from time to time while brushing his beard, although the two of them met for only a few minutes, they seemed to appreciate each other.

In summer, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the blue sky, the white clouds, the sun shines on the earth like a golden sword, the vast grassland under the blue sky and white clouds, the melodious horse-head qin music flutters in the distance, and the shepherds are heard singing from time to time.

At this time, the secret envoy Yuwenshen sent by the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty rode a horse in front of the talisman, behind him was a long procession, carefully looking at a lot of goods, all of which were heavy, and there were deep ruts on the road after the carriage, slowly marching on the grassland, Yuwenshen was adhering to Yuwentai's order to go to the Rouran royal court to marry, in order to achieve the strategic purpose of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling on the ground, from far to near, a Rouran cavalry appeared within the range of Yuwenxun, there were dozens of people, all of them were armed with scimitars, wearing leather armor, braided hair, leather clothes, small sleeved robes, small mouth pants, and deep Yong boots, which instantly surrounded Yuwenshen's marriage team.

Seeing this, Yuwen Shen, the envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, stopped his horse, waved his right hand to signal the team to stop walking, and saw the general Le Ma, who was the leader of the left side, lema who was holding the talisman and asked coldly: "Who are you waiting for?" This is the jurisdiction of my Rouran Khanate, why do you want to come here! ”

Seeing this, Yuwen Shen hurriedly reined in and walked forward a few steps before stopping and replying: "I am an envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, and I want to meet the Khan of Anapu, can the general lead me to the Khan's court?" ”

I saw that the head of Shi Chang got off the horse, put the scimitar on his shoulder, and walked to the back to check the goods, and behaved quite rudely, only to see that the carriage was full of silk, porcelain, tea and other items, Shi Chang's eyes subconsciously lit up, with a greedy look, and then casually walked to the front next to Yu Wenshen, and said while looking: "The envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty? Da Wei and Da Rouran are feuds, what are you waiting for? ”

Yu Wenshen also dismounted at this time, and calmly replied to Shi Chang: "Great Wei and Rouran have a feud, but we are the envoys of Western Wei, and now Great Wei has been split into Eastern and Western Wei, and it has nothing to do with us!" ”

Shi Chang couldn't help but say: "It's all Wei State, it's no different!" You're a secret agent, but you're a messenger in disguise! ”

Yuwen Shen looked at this chief and couldn't help but say that he was about to find fault, so he held the talisman and said righteously: "I say it again, I am an envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, and I came to marry Da Rouran on my own, the general is just a small chief, and the envoy has no obligation to inform you, you can take me to the royal court, if you don't bring it, I can wait for myself to go, and when I see the Khan, the general is afraid that it will be difficult to explain!" ”

At this time, when the chief heard Yu Wenshen speak so strongly, he laughed out loud and deliberately found fault and said, "Marriage? I'm afraid it's not a big Wei agent, you can wait, and the goods will stay! ”

Yuwen confronted each other coldly: "If we were all secret agents, we wouldn't be pulling such a heavy dowry, wouldn't we be stupid to the extreme?" A little chief dares to detain the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty and delay the major affairs of the two countries, can you afford it? ”

I saw that Shi Chang was speechless when he heard Yu Wenshen's answer, so he ordered loudly: "Brothers, detain the goods, take these people to the Khan's court, and then make a distinction!" ”

So the Rouran cavalry quickly dismounted, quickly detained the goods, drove people together, and trapped the hands of Yuwenshen and others with a lassoed horse rope, Yuwenxun shouted loudly: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you in front of your khan?"

said that it was too late, at this time, Yuwen Shen's hands had been tied, his mouth was gagged, he couldn't speak, the rune fell to the ground, a Rouran soldier picked it up and looked at it, so he came to Shi Chang's side and said: "Shi Chang, this is this person fell from this person, this is just a feather, why do you value it so much?" ”

Shi Chang replied: "Whatever, take him to the royal court first!" ”

Yuwen, the envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, was deeply involved in the strategy of arranging the army, but at this time, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, there were words of suffering, his mouth was tightly gagged, and he was depressed to the extreme, and he didn't know what kind of disaster was waiting for him in front of him. The envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty were also treated as slaves and trapped with their hands, lined up in a long line, and under the spur of the Rouran cavalry, they were faltered to the Khan court of Rouran.
