The night has deepened, and the merry Xuze of Chang'an Pingkangfang is full of bright spring breezes and bright lights. ≤

An old woman and a middle-aged man lit a lantern and walked out of a small courtyard that was not very conspicuous, closed the door and locked it reflexively, and left together.

Such a small separate courtyard, I don't know how many there are in Pingkangfang. The prostitutes who live in the official record have a clear identity and have a slight grade, and there are special bombers (that is, Ma San) and turtle slaves who are responsible for soliciting, security, and serving food. During the day, prostitutes and women would play some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with the guests, drink and chat. At night, if the guests stay overnight, the tan and turtle slaves will be locked and leave.

After the charcoal and the turtle slave walked long, the two figures appeared at the gate of the courtyard silently.

Xue Shao and Guo An are dressed as middle-aged scholars. It is no longer common for such a person to appear in Pingkangfang in the middle of the night.

"This is it. The prostitute's name was Su Xiaoyan. plays the pipa exquisitely, and it is also well-known in Chang'an. Guo An replied briefly. After two days of intelligence reconnaissance work, he was sure of the accuracy.

Su Xiaoyan?

Xue Shao felt very familiar when he heard this name, and after a little thought, he remembered it. She was a good friend of Zhang Miaomiao before her death, and when Zhang Miaomiao went to the funeral, Su Xiaoyan and a group of women from Pingkangfang went to Zhongnan Mountain to send the funeral together.

"Let's go inside." Xue Shao didn't say much, jumped up with both feet, put his palms on the wall and borrowed a little force, and the whole person ejected like a spring, and fell into the courtyard.

Guo An soon followed.

The courtyard is not large, the room is lit with lights, and you can faintly hear the soft sound of the pipa and the singing of women.

In the quiet of the night, such a sound sounds extraordinarily quiet and moving.

Xue Shao seemed to be very familiar with the words sung by the female voice, and couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.

The singing is-

"Mingyue should laugh at me, laugh at me now, live up to the ...... of spring"

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, that was when he was forced to plagiarize when he visited a female crown Taoist temple in Bingzhou, how did it spread in Chang'an?

Su Xiaoyan sang while playing, singing ethereal and tactful, full of ancient rhyme, not bad.

As soon as the song ended, a man's voice sounded inside, "Very good, very good—beauty, this thing has been given to you!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

Xue Shao and Guo An looked at each other and smiled, that guy was really a romantic seed.

sang and sang, and the reward sank, and it was time to go to bed if you dared to love.

Sure enough, the lights in the room went out.

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, and motioned for Guo An to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard for a while, don't spoil other people's good deeds.

Neither of them had yet to sit on the heat, and the lights inside were on again.

Xue Shao laughed again, okay, this guy is still a fast gunner!

"Beauty, don't you sleep by yourself. Recently, there have been many events, and I have to go back to the barracks overnight. ”

"The general is easy to go, and he often comes when he has time!"

The door was opened, and out came a sturdy man with a top body, holding clothes in his arms and a saber in his hand. He suddenly saw two people sitting in the courtyard, silent and ghostly under the moonlight, and he was startled on the spot and pulled out his knife loudly, "Is it a human or a ghost?" Get out!! ”

Su Xiaoyan, who was so frightened, hurriedly ran out, "General, what's the matter with yelling?" ”

Xue Shao and Guo An didn't move, still looking at him quietly. Guo An only used his knuckles to knock a few notes on the stone table, and the man's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly put away the knife and pushed Su Xiaoyan into the inner room.

"It's none of your business, just go into the house and sleep! Don't mention the slightest thing about tonight to outsiders, remember, remember!! ”

Su Xiaoyan hurriedly entered the house and locked the door tightly.

Xue Shao and Guo An sat quietly in the pavilion, and the man hurriedly dressed and put the saber on the ground, and came forward to kneel down on one knee to Xue Shao without speaking.

"Sit." Xue Shao said one word.

"The subordinates don't dare!"

"What, I'm afraid I'll punish you for sneaking out of the barracks and coming to the prostitute?" Xue Shao smiled, "Forget it, Guo Dafeng." Now you are no longer my subordinate. ”

"Subordinates are always ...... Subordinate! Guo Dafeng was stunned because he didn't dare to call out the word young marshal, for fear that the wall would have ears.

"Stop talking nonsense, sit closer and talk."

"Yes!"

Guo Dafeng got up and sat down next to Xue Shao closely, and the heads of the three of them were almost together, only talking in a low voice, so as not to have ears on the wall.

"The young marshal didn't expect it badly, since you led half of the Luoshui army to leave Luoyang, Pei Yan has been trying to win over and buy me and Dang Jinbi." Guo Dafeng said, "According to the original strategy and arrangement set by the young marshal, the two of us were hostile and uncooperative to him at the beginning, and we did not accept his bribes. Pei Yan made an excuse to transfer the two of us to other states, and replace the military power of the two of us with someone else to lead the army left behind in Luoshui. But he didn't do it, because the Queen Mother objected, Cheng Wuting and Cheng Qizhi didn't agree, for fear of a mutiny. So Pei Yan didn't do it, but he sent people to keep an eye on me and Dang Jinbi day and night, just to catch us and bring us both down...... Young marshal, you also know that I am a lustful party and a good drinker, and both of us are good at gambling, so I was indeed caught by him for some tricks. Pei Yan sent Yu Shi Xue Zhongzhang, that is, his own nephew, to investigate us, and collected a lot of bits and pieces of unwarranted evidence, including many imposed crimes. Although it is not enough to kill me, it is more than enough to dismiss and demote. In desperation, the two of us had no choice but to secretly surrender to Pei Yan, so that we have survived to this day and waited until the young marshal came back! ”

Xue Shao smiled and patted Guo Dafeng's shoulder, "Bear the humiliation, it's hard for you brothers!" ”

"Compared to the young marshal and his brothers who bloody the enemy in front, what are we worth?" Guo Dafeng's eyes flashed with excitement, "Young marshal, is it time to do it now and take out Pei Yan, a bastard old man?" As long as he is in the court for a day, our brothers will not have a good life! - You just give the order, what should you do? We'll take care of the work. I can't wait to stab that old man's eight big horn holes with a knife now! ”

"Don't be too anxious." Xue Shao said patiently: "For more than a year, you have played the bitter meat trick so seriously, presumably Lao Er will not have any big doubts." But after all, you are not Lao Er's henchmen, and now that I am back, Lao Er is suspicious again, so you must be cautious and cautious if you do anything now! ”

"Yes!" Guo Dafeng replied very strictly and cautiously, "If you have any orders, the young marshal just give the order!" ”

"Now the situation is suddenly changing, and everything is unpredictable. So, I don't have ready-made orders for you either. Xue Shao said, "You only remember one thing, once you encounter any major event, you can't act rashly." Come here—I'll make my own arrangements!" ”

Guo Dafeng was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "The young marshal plans to live here for a while?" …… Seriously, Su Xiaoyan is good! ”

"Shut up!" Xue Shao scolded, "Remember, keep your mouth shut for me, you must be firm!" Don't drink alcohol during this time, and don't sleep too hard when you sleep - just in case your dreams leak out! ”

"Yes!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Shao dressed as a Taoist priest alone, rode a little green donkey and walked out of Chang'an leisurely, and walked on the official road to Luoyang.

Behind him is the ancient city of Chang'an, which is magnificent and majestic. In the distance is shrouded in clouds and mist, Zhongnan Mountain, and the fairy aura is full of light. The fields after spring ploughing exude the natural fragrance of the soil, and the rain and dew in the early morning sprinkled on Xue Shao's body, slightly moist but refreshing.

Xue Shao rode the little green donkey leisurely, admiring the past mountains and rivers all the way, and felt very relaxed. Due to his temperament, Xue Shao sang an old song that he used to like very much-

"The sea laughs, and the tide on both sides of the strait is surging!"

"Ups and downs follow the waves, only remember today and tomorrow!"

……

Singing vigorously, more than ten fast horses swept from behind Xue Shao and galloped past, the sound of rolling horses' hooves disrupted Xue Shao's singing, and the dust stirred up made him a little discouraged, and he didn't feel a little annoyed.

Take a closer look, although the dozen or so people are dressed as ordinary people, the horses they ride are not ordinary goods, and the seals on the horse's hips are obviously official horses of the imperial court.

"Horses in the six stables?" Xue Shao had worked in Qiancai, and he was very familiar with these horses, and he recognized them at a glance, and said in his heart, "Is it a Qianqi person?" ”

was muttering, the dozen or so riders actually went and returned, and they were coming towards Xue Shao.

Xue Shao couldn't help frowning, could it be that he recognized me?

When those people approached, Xue Shao's heart tightened slightly: the thousand cavalry envoy Wu Yougui and the servant Shi Xue Zhongzhang, how could these two people get together? …… I didn't laugh well in this sea of laughter, and laughed out of these two annoying little kings!

Wu Yougui and Xue Zhongzhang stepped forward side by side, staring at Xue Shao with fierce eyes, obviously trying to observe him.

"Amitayus!" Xue Shao changed his voice, "The two cyclamen, poor Daoyun Songzi is polite. ”

"Yun Songzi?" Wu Yougui stared at Xue Shao and snorted coldly, "Which Taoist temple came out?" ”

"Zhongnan Mountain, Pingxiao View." Xue Shao replied with a smile.

"I've been to Pingxiaoguan, why have I never seen you like this?" Wu Yougui said, "I see that your body and posture are like an old man of mine. ”

"I think so." Xue Zhongzhang coldly agreed.

Xue Shao blinked in confusion, "Like whom?" ”

"Then you don't have to ask." Wu Yougui waved his hand coldly, "Come on, take it away!" ”

The thousand horsemen behind him swarmed up and wanted to take people!

"Slow, slow!" Xue Shao looked panicked and shouted, "Even if I was born a little like your old man, you don't have to be detained by me, right?" Isn't it also a sin for my father and mother to make me look like this? ”

"That's right, it's a sin that you look like him!" Xue Zhongzhang said angrily, "Coincidentally, that old man is my bitter enemy, and now we are about to go to arrest him." The more I look at you, the more similar you are to him, and I suspect that you are the one he is pretending to be! ”

Xue Shao's heart tightened, I killed Xue Zhongzhang's father-in-law in Suizhou, it's no wonder he doesn't hate me to death!

"It's better to catch it by mistake than to indulge it in vain - catch me!" Wu Yougui shouted, and his thousand horsemen rushed up.

"Help!! ——”

Xue Shao jumped off the little green donkey with a loud shout, jumped into the farmland in a panic, and ran away!

Those thousand horsemen were startled and fled as fast as they could!

"Chasing ——!"
