It should be said that Ma Si was once Cui Qinggong's number one staff, and he has his own advantages, a few days ago, he was in chaos because his family was detained, and the urgency of time made him have no choice, so he could only trust Jiang Gan once, but all the way west, his also slowly calmed down, gunpowder is an extremely secret of the Xiliang Army, Jiang Gan is just a businessman, how can he know? Ma Sisu remembered that he was actually not familiar with Jiang Gan, how could he tell himself the secret of his uncle's secret of doing jewelry business and secretly buying and selling military products, this is not like a person who has mixed up in the business field.

But suspicion is suspicion, Ma Si suspicion has nothing to do about the secret of obtaining gunpowder, so he can only gamble and try his luck, with doubts and hopes he came to Chang'an, has arrived at the door of the store, but he suddenly does not want to go in.

The sky has been raining in winter, the mud on the ground is still wet, and the door of this Wuzhu Yuebao shop is covered with fresh horseshoe prints, which means that there is a large group of people gathered here just now, although it can't directly explain what the problem is, but Ma Siji's vigilant heart immediately realized that something was wrong,

"Brother Jiang Xian, let's go eat first!" Ma Siyi slowly retreated while perfunctory, his eyes looking for a way to retreat, suddenly, his arms tightened, and two gray-clothed men appeared out of nowhere, one left and one right, and wrapped him in the store.

"Jiang Gan, who are you and what are you going to do!"

Ma Simian struggled desperately, shouting loudly, but the arms of the two gray-clothed men were like iron hoops, making him unable to move at all, Jiang Gan had long since disappeared, and suddenly a book covered his head, and dragged him into the basement from the rockery in the backyard.

Bang Dang! Ma Si was thrown into a stone room, and then an iron door slammed shut, and the room became pitch black. The air smelled of damp mildew.

Ma Sisu already knew that he had been fooled at this time, he regretted and hated, grabbed the railing on the iron gate and yelled loudly: "Jiang Gan, you bastard!" You don't die well. ”

There was silence all around. No one paid attention to him, shouting and shouting, Ma Siji's voice suddenly choked, he thought of his parents, wife and children, this time he was really going to say goodbye, thinking that his wife and children were very likely to become Cui Qinggong's military food, he was as sad as a knife, he couldn't hold back anymore, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

"Jiang Gan, you killed me. Let me go! ”

"Who is this person, why is he so spineless?"

Zhang Huan saw all the changes clearly from a window, and he didn't find anything interesting. looked at Li Chuanyun in surprise, Li Fanyun smiled and said, "His name is Ma Siyi, and he turned out to be Cui Qinggong's chief staff." Now that he has fallen out of favor, he was sent to get the formula of our gunpowder, but unfortunately he entrusted the wrong person, and actually entrusted one of my subordinates, so he sent it to the door today, but he knows a lot of Cui Qinggongdi's inside story, I think it may be useful to you. ”

"He's trying to get my gunpowder formula? What wishful thinking! Zhang Huan shook his head, he was not interested in this person, he saw that it was almost noon, so he instructed Li Chuanyun again: "Remember! We must send competent people to Huaixi as soon as possible. =UC eBook-First-Release=This matter is very high, and I want to get all the information about Lee Hee-yeol by a month at the latest. ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Li Chuanyun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "I haven't finished talking yet!" ”

She pointed to the stone prison and said with a smile: "If I say that he can plot against Ma Dawei, the number one general under Cui Qinggong, are you interested?" ”

"Ma Dawei," Zhang Huan's footsteps suddenly stopped, he remembered that Cui Xiaofu seemed to have just named this person as the Duke of China, and he was really a little interested in his heart. He stepped forward again. Through the air window, he looked at Ma Siyi, who was banging on the iron door and pleading hard, and said to Li Chuanyun: "Okay! You bring him up. I'll talk to him. ”

Near noon, the misty drizzle that shrouded Chang'an finally stopped, the sky was still cloudy and low, the north wind was howling, cutting people's faces, hands and feet like a knife book, and soon, the wet mud on the ground began to freeze, and it felt hard to step on it.

Although the weather is cold, the atmosphere of the New Year's place in Chang'an City has become stronger and stronger, and the streets are full of people, full of people looking for relatives and friends, and buying New Year's goods.

Yanshoufang is also very lively, here is close to the West Market, there are many inns and restaurants, in addition to the citizens of Chang'an on the street, there are many merchants from afar, especially after the end of the Anxi Campaign, many merchants from the Western Regions with a keen sense of smell have come from far and wide, becoming the prophets and seers of the reopening of the Silk Road.

In the northwest corner of Yanshoufang, there is a huge mansion, which is where Wei Ge's mansion is located, and the ordinary people in Chang'an, the Wei family is also busy preparing for the New Year, in the side gate of Wei Mansion, there is constantly a carriage full of goods stopped, and then more than a dozen small servants ran out of the side door to carry items.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper and a servant walked out of the side door, and the owner of the cargo hurriedly nodded to the middle-aged man and saluted, but he ignored it at all, and raised his head arrogantly and walked away.

The middle-aged male book is also surnamed Wei, is a distant family member of the Wei family, he is very good at drilling, and can speak well, he has been the second housekeeper of the Wei Mansion for more than ten years, and today one of his henchmen has something to ask him, so he will give a face and come out with him.

The two walked through a few small streets, and his subordinates pointed to a small wine shop near Fangmen from a distance and said, "Second housekeeper, the people are there." ”

"What kind of relatives are they? What is the family situation like? Steward Wei asked quietly.

"Their brother and sister are my uncle's children's book, originally Chengdu's solid family, Shu Zhong Zhu Rebellion, my uncle and aunt were unfortunately killed, their brothers and sisters fled to Chang'an, although there is still a little bottom in the hand, but people have to find a future! They knew the master's scenery, so they wanted to go into the house to find an errand, and in the future, when the master attained the Tao, they also wanted to follow the ascension to heaven, so they came to ask me for help. Steward Wei! As soon as he spoke, he asked directly to the bone book: "You said that they still have a little bottom, how thick is this bottom?" ”

There were no acquaintances on the left and right of his subordinates, so he whispered in the butler's ear: "They are willing to pay thirty times to buy two errands, and if the arrangement is good, it will not hurt to have more." ”

Steward Wei smiled smugly, a look of greed flashed in his eyesFirst-||The two walked into the small wine shop, and the servant took him directly into a small private room.

A table of wine and food had been cleaned up in the private room, and two young men, a man and a woman, were sitting at the table, and the man was about to be in his early twenties. She has a big shoulder, a round waist, and is very burly, and the woman is a little smaller, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin, a little bit of posture, and a red mole at the corner of her mouth.

When they saw Steward Wei enter the house, they hurriedly stood up, and the man stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Yang Xiong is seeing Steward Wei." ”

Behind him, the female book also stepped forward to give a light salute, and said coquettishly: "Little female book Yang Ping." Give a salute to the great butler. ”

Steward Wei quickly glanced at them with a professional eye, the male is powerful and powerful, and can be a bodyguard to protect the hospital; Female! The looks are okay. Especially between the eyebrows and eyes, there is some demonic rule, first go to the small kitchen in the inner courtyard to help, and maybe in the future you can become the concubine of which master.

Of course. He couldn't say this, and he didn't care about the food and wine in front of him, so he got straight to the point and said, "Listen to my brother, you want to enter the Wei Mansion to work, right?" ”

The man named Yang Xiong took out a piece of yellow and clear gold book and stuffed it into Steward Wei's hand, and said with a smile: "Can we enter Wei's mansion, is Steward Wei's words." ”

Steward Wei quietly checked it, and the golden book in his hand weighed three taels, and according to the black market price, this golden book was worth at least fifty yuan. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he still said with a straight face on his face: "Our Wei Mansion is not so easy to enter, especially your non-slave status, first of all, you need someone to introduce you to prove your innocence and reliable source, and secondly, I have to find some specific people in charge for you, your money may not be enough, so let's do it!" I'll take it for you. Not enough to say more. What do you think? ”

"Everything is up to Steward Wei!"

After leaving the lively words, a smile finally appeared on Steward Wei's face. He said to his subordinates, "All right! While I'm on duty today, you can bring them to me later in the afternoon, and I'll arrange a good errand for them. ”

After that, he glanced at the female book again, turned around and left, his subordinates gave the two brothers and sisters a look, and quickly followed, not long after the two left, a few people immediately walked out of the elegant room next door, and entered the room where the Yang brothers and sisters were in a flash.

The person at the head was Zhu Tao, and when he saw that the matter had been done, he said to the Yang brothers and sisters: "Time is pressing, you must complete the task for me within three days!" ”

"Obey!" The Yang brothers and sisters bowed, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in their eyes.

Just when Chang'an and Datang began to prepare for the New Year, the war in the Central Plains also appeared a little relaxed, and the two armies confronted each other for about half a month, during which Cui Qinggong and Wei Deqing carried out some sporadic battles, each with its own victory and defeat, but the battle was carried out in Wei Deqing's territory, and Cui Qinggong's number had the upper hand, so the whole situation was favorable to Cui Qinggong.

Just when Cui Qinggong's army was approaching Chen Liu, the news suddenly came that the imperial court had named Ma Dawei as the Duke of Qian Guo, and Ma Dawei privately occupied the grain in Qian County, Cui Qinggong, who was suspicious by nature, immediately stopped the attack and took the initiative to retreat hundreds of miles to observe Ma Dawei's movements.

Soon, Ma Dawei, who also got the news, immediately sent his henchmen to tell Cui Qinggong that this was a discordant plan of the imperial court, if he really colluded with the imperial court, they would never seal the official at this time, wouldn't it be more effective to defect before his own battle? At the same time of explanation, Ma Dawei sent someone to send 100,000 stone of grain to Cui Qinggong to show his sincerity, and soon, Zhu Tao also sent someone to send an urgent mail, and also advised Cui Qinggong not to fall for the court's divisive plan.

Although Cui Qinggong finally believed that this was a plan to divide the imperial court, he was never very relieved, so he ordered Ma Dawei to lead the headquarters to garrison Pengjun, as far away from him as possible, after Ma Dawei stationed to the east, Cui Qinggong's army once again advanced north to Yongqiu, this time was December 29, two days before the New Year.

At dusk, on the official road about ten miles away from Yongqiu, Wei Deqing galloped north along the official road under the escort of thousands of personal soldiers, and the official road was crowded with refugees who had fled their homes, they helped the old and the young to go north with difficulty, some carried their elderly parents with baskets, and some pushed their young children with wheelbarrows, everyone's face was full of hunger and despair, and the cries were constant along the way, and the dead could be seen everywhere in the grass.

Seeing these miserable scenes, Wei Deqing couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, according to his original intention, he didn't want to provoke this battle that would devastate the lives of the people. But the Queen Mother issued two secret decrees in a row, and the head of the family also forced each other again and again, and even sent Wei Qing to Chen Liudang as an assassin, obviously to spy on him. Under intense pressure, he had to trigger the battle.

At the beginning, he fought according to his own strategy, taking a defensive position to wear down Cui Qinggong's offensive spirit, and he and Wei Ge's thoughts were the same at this point, but after Cui Qinggong was suspicious of Ma Dawei and temporarily withdrew his troops, Wei Deqing and Wei Gedi's strategic thinking began to diverge, and Wei Deqing advocated taking advantage of Cui Qinggong's civil strife to attack in one fell swoop and fight a decisive battle with Cui Qinggong. However, Wei Ge strictly ordered him not to act rashly, and Wei Ge's purpose was to try to get Pei Jun's army to engage Cui Qinggong first, so as to preserve his own forces to the greatest extent.

on this. Wei Deqing never agreed, he was going to Chen Liu now to persuade Wei Qing to support him, and ask the head of the family not to interfere with his strategic deployment.

"Look, General!" Wei Deqing's deputy general Wang Wujun suddenly pointed to the north and said, "It seems that Wei Tingshi is here." ”

Wei Deqing looked in the direction of his finger. A group of people and horses were galloping towards this side quickly, and it was Wei Qing's carriage in the middle, and the other party also saw them, the carriage slowly stopped, and soon a guard came forward to report, "General Deqing, Wei Tingshi, please step forward and answer." ”

Wei Deqing saw that the other party was arrogant, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but Wang Wujun, the deputy general behind him, was furious, and pointed to the messenger and scolded: "My general is the king of Chenliu County, Bian Hua, Cao and Song Dynasty envoys. You little assassin dare to order us to go up and meet us? ”

"Don't be rude!" Wei Deqing's face sank, and he scolded Wang Wujun fiercely, he used his one-armed horse to instigate the war horse, and slowly stepped forward to see Wei Qing, but Wang Wujun snorted heavily and slowly followed.

The person who came was Wei Qing, who immediately returned to Chenliu after receiving his father's face-to-face instruction, and was now preparing to go to the Yongqiu camp. But on the way, he met Wei Deqing, who was about to go north. Compared with the family status, Wei Qing is the heir to the Wei family's land and the head of the family. And Wei Deqing can't even talk about the book, the status of the two is thousands of miles apart, that is, Wei Qing looks down on Wei Deqing from the bone book, only under the repeated knocking of his father, he reluctantly calls him a brother, but from time to time he also shows a little arrogant posture, such as now, he and Wei Deqing met halfway, Wei Qing's knee-jerk reaction was to let Wei Deqing come to see him, although Wei Deqing is the king of Chen Liujun, but in Wei Qing's eyes, these official titles were given to him by his father, and he should be more grateful.

"Deqing has seen the young master." Wei Deqing turned over and dismounted, stood outside the carriage and bowed.

"What a coincidence, I was about to go to Brother Deqing, but I didn't expect us to meet halfway, are you also going to Chen Liu to find me?" Wei Qing stroked his long beard under his chin and smiled slightly, he called Brother Deqing, but he still sat in the carriage and did not move.

"The young master guessed well." Wei Deqing didn't take Wei Qing's deliberate high posture to heart, so he nodded and said in a deep voice: "I just want to go to Chen Liu to find the assassin Shi to discuss the matter of fighting Cui Qinggong." ”

At this time, the deputy general Wang Wujun coughed heavily in the back, which was when he reminded Wei Deqing to ask Wei Qing first, but Wei Deqing didn't seem to understand his reminder, and still said: "Presumably, the young family master has seen it all the way, this battle is particularly harmful to the people, for the peace of the people in the Central Plains, I think this battle should be ended as soon as possible, I don't know what the young family master thinks my words are right?" ”

Ahem! Wang Wujun coughed twice more behind him, he had already seen that there seemed to be eunuchs in Wei Qing's team, so he faintly felt that Wei Qing was not good at coming this time, and once again reminded him not to say more.

Wei Deqing's face sank, and he turned his head to glare at Wang Wujun and said, "If you dare to disturb again, I will deal with you with military law!" ”

Wang Wujun's face was swollen and red, and he bowed his head and retreated, but Wei Qing glanced at Wang Wujun deeply, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Deqing's opinion Wei Qing deeply agrees, I came this time to work with you to exterminate Cui Qinggong, who is harming the people." ”

Speaking of this, he made a gesture to the back, and immediately walked out of the team A eunuch, he said loudly: "The Queen Mother has a decree, and Wei Deqing, the king of Chen Liujun, and Shi Weiqing, Chen Liu, will receive the decree." ”

Wei Deqing and Wei Qing knelt down together, and the eunuch announced loudly: "The four counties of Chenliu County, Bian Hua, Cao Song, and the four counties of the Song Dynasty made Wei Deqing loyal to the country, relieved the worries of the mourning family, and solved problems for the people of the world. ”

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward!" Wei Deqing kowtowed heavily.

The eunuch glanced at him, but continued to read: "Chen Liu's assassination Shi Weiqing is fine, honest, fair and selfless, and he is specially appointed as the pacification envoy of Henan Province, the imperial historian, and the director of the Henan army, admire this!" ”

Wei Deqing's body book shook suddenly, and his heart seemed to have fallen into a cold cave as if he had fallen into a cold cave. To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, xtcom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! )
