Chapter 202: Danger
(There is one more chapter, probably a little later)
The hateman slowly raised his head, slowly withdrew the short sword in his hand, slowly took off the hat on his head, and exposed his face to the sun, but it was a young man with a handsome face. It's just that for the man, his skin and complexion are too delicate and fair, and the two mustaches on his lips are too eye-catching.
The hat man was disguised by Gongsun Lan.
"As soon as I saw my skills, I knew it was Brother Gongsun, hahaha." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"Deputy Envoy Wang, do you know him?" Zhang Wulang asked as he lay on the ground and stretched his neck.
Wang Yuan smiled: "I know, I know, I know very well." Brother Zhang, don't worry, it's a friend rather than an enemy, please get up. ”
Zhang Wulang shouted, "But he killed our other nine brothers......"
Gongsun Lan said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, they just fainted, I didn't kill anyone, but you slashed with knives." Luckily you don't have any skills, otherwise if you had hurt my horse just now, you would all have died. ”
Zhang Wulang was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to check on the people lying on the ground, and found that these people were indeed only knocked unconscious, and there were no injuries on their bodies, so they woke them up one by one by pinching and beating their mouths.
After a busy time, everyone took out the horses in the forest and returned to the road, Wang Yuan was very happy, when he left Chang'an, he actually wanted to invite Gongsun Lan to accompany him, but after rejecting Li Xin'er, he was not too embarrassed to speak, so as not to make Li Xin'er unhappy. And when she left home, Gongsun Lan didn't show up at all, and she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye, let alone ask her to accompany her.
"Are you here to accompany me to Tokai County?" Wang Yuan asked.
"What do you say? Am I here to enjoy the mountains and rivers? Gongsun Lan asked rhetorically.
"I'm glad you came, I'm so much bolder that you're by my side."
Gongsun Lan smiled slightly, pointed to the ten entourages who followed behind him and said, "I can't help but come, you see these people are all pustules, what can they do?" In case something happens, these people simply don't come in handy. ”
Wang Yuan spread his hands and smiled: "In your opinion, they are all pustules, but in fact, they are also quite skilled." Besides, I don't have a choice, these people at least reassure me. There are some good people among the personnel rationed by the imperial court, but I dare not use those people. ”
Gongsun Lan nodded slightly, and this is indeed the case.
"Did you follow us all the way? Why don't you show up directly? ”
"I showed up, but I just didn't notice it. In the inn of Panlong Town where I stayed yesterday evening, you and I sat opposite each other and drank tea, but unfortunately you were stupid and turned a blind eye. ”
Wang Yuanleng said: "Was it in the lobby of the inn yesterday evening?" Is that guy in the corner with his back to me you? ”
Gongsun Lan nodded and smiled. Wang Yuan patted his thigh and said: "It's weird, I always think it's weird, looking at the back, it seems a little familiar, but I didn't think much about it, it turned out to be you?" ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "Your attention has been attracted by the shopkeeper, and the proprietress has thrown dozens of winks at you, do you still have the heart to pay attention to who I am?" ”
Wang Yuan's face turned red and said: "Don't say nonsense, people bring tea and water to laugh together, don't I care about others?" ”
Gongsun Lan sighed and said: "I'm not interested in listening to your explanation, I just tell you, you guys are all waste, these two days, every night may die at any time, have you noticed?" Did these men of yours notice it? ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "There have been people waiting around your residence on the past two nights, and you haven't noticed it at all?" ”
Wang Yuan shook his head blankly and said: "I don't feel it at all, there are people on duty every night, how can I not notice it at all?" ”
Gongsun Lan sighed: "If you find out, you can't be called the Ten Tigers of Xiangfu." Two of Yang Shenjin's entourage were masters raised in Li Linfu's mansion. There are ten tigers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and these two are Nie Jiangchuan and Tian Bin, who are ranked third and eighth. The Ten Tigers are all ruthless and strong martial arts people, I have fought with them, I may not be afraid of two or three people, but I am not invincible if there are more than three people, which is why I also want to avenge Xin'er, but I have a weak heart. Xin'er was able to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion alive at that time, which seems to me to be a great creation. ”
Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "You mean, these two people went to Beihai County together in Yang Shenjin's team?" ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Otherwise, do you think I will be idle and bored and follow you all the way?" When you left Chang'an, I saw these two people in the team, so I was a little worried. Because these two are both masters of assassination, as far as I know, they have assassinated many court officials, and I am worried that they will follow Yang Shenjin to your disadvantage. ”
"So you couldn't rest assured and decided to protect me secretly?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that you don't understand anything, and you don't know how to die when you die, and Xin'er will be heartbroken when the time comes."
Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Are you worried that they will be unfavorable to me?" For example, will you kill me on the way? ”
Gongsun Lan thought for a while and said, "I have secretly observed them in the past two days, and they seem to have only come to watch you in the middle of the night, and they have not attacked you. I think they might just be testing your vigilance. ”
Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe they did want to kill me, but they felt that the time had not come. The investigation envoy was killed before he reached Beihai, and this matter will attract great attention from the imperial court, and if it is not good, it will ruin what they want to do. I think they must have waited until they arrived in Beihai County to see if their purpose was going smoothly and if I didn't stand in their way. Once I become a stumbling block to them, I am afraid that my time of death has come. ”
Gongsun Lan nodded slowly and said: "I'm afraid that's the case, it's very surprising that you suddenly got this errand this time, and they probably don't know your position, so be prepared." Once you are doing it against them, far away in Beihai County, it is easy to kill you, and when the time comes, you can fabricate some reason, such as being killed by bandits, or killing Li Yong's henchmen, it is very easy to prevaricate. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Then I disappeared into this world quietly, my death was unknown, and I was sweating behind my spine." ”
Gongsun Lan touched her two mustaches and said softly, "With me, none of this will happen." ”
Wang Yuan nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you eldest brother for taking care of me, my little brother's life will be handed over to you." ”
Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "The person with a flamboyant tongue actually deserves to die." ”
Wang Yuan said: "At noon, I only nibbled on dry food, and I didn't eat fatty meat, there was no oil in my mouth, and my tongue was not slippery." ”
Gongsun Lan took a sip, urging the white horse to rush out, Wang Yuan looked at her back and felt sweet, it was rare to have the opportunity to be alone with Gongsun Lan like this, in the Wang family's mansion, because of Li Xin'er's face, Wang Yuan rarely got along with Gongsun Lan alone except for practicing kung fu.
After the forced kiss incident, Gongsun Lan also tried to stay away from Wang Yuan, and the two of them actually had a feeling of avoiding each other, but today, Wang Yuan obviously felt that Gongsun Lan showed a heartfelt relaxation, although she was sticky to her mustache, her words and smiles were extraordinarily feminine.
Zhang Wulang rode up and said in Wang Yuan's ear: "Deputy Envoy Wang, your eldest brother's martial arts are unfathomable, although the brothers were beaten, they were all convinced, and begged me to ask Deputy Envoy Wang for something." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "What's the matter?" ”
"I'd like to ask this big brother Gongsun to give me some guidance on martial arts, it's best to accept us as apprentices or something."
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "What you think is quite beautiful, it is impossible for him to take you as an apprentice, do a good errand, it is possible for me to ask him to teach you some essentials and tricks." ”
"That's also creation." Zhang Wulang said: "Then please ask the deputy envoy of the king." ”
Wang Yuan laughed, waved his whip, and the big black horse galloped out, chasing the white horse and galloping away.
……
In the afternoon of the next day, after four days of traveling, everyone finally arrived at Beihai City, the seat of Beihai County. Yang Shen did not enter the city alone, but waited at the gate of the city for Wang Yuan to enter the city together. Wang Yuan was slightly behind for half an hour, and when he arrived, Yang Shenjin was very dissatisfied and said a few words, Wang Yuan apologized sincerely, and then entered the city.
In Beihai City, there are very few Qincha from the capital city who have arrived, and in the past few days in Beihai City, it has been rumored that Taishou Li Yong, Beijia Liu Ji and others have broken the law, and the imperial court is about to send someone to investigate the case. Therefore, as soon as the soldiers and horses entered the city gate, many onlookers gathered on the narrow streets.
The people shouted boldly, and some people said: "Li Taishou is a clean official, the court must be clear, and you can't wronged the Qing official." ”
"Yes, Li Taishou respects the people of Beihai like parents and loves them like children, they are all the newcomers who don't drive Liu Ji to make trouble, please the court must find out the truth, and Li Taishou is innocent."
“……”
Yang Shenjin sat on the horse and frowned, and said angrily: "How did Li Yong govern in Beihai County? When will it be the turn of these people to shout in the streets and interfere with the court's investigation of the case? When people come, the soldiers and horses open the way, and then there are those who are in the way and shout directly to arrest and fall. ”
The cavalry immediately dispersed along both sides of the street, and the whips whirled in the air and whipped on the onlookers, who panicked and huddled together, and the narrow streets were forced by the soldiers and horses, and the people were crowded within a few steps on both sides. Soon after, someone fell to the ground, but could not get up, and was trampled by the people around him, and suddenly there was a ghost crying wolf howl.
Wang Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, and he clenched his back teeth.
