Facts have proved that although Cui Yuan is not good at leading troops, he can be called a good use of people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In accordance with Li Sheng's suggestion, he urgently recruited blacksmiths to build a batch of ear-piercing arrows, which caused a lot of damage to the Tibetan cavalry. The fierce oil fire, which he didn't know how to use before, was used by Li Sheng to defend the camp, and the raging flames burned back many enemy troops.

After the battle, Cui Yuan heard that Li Sheng was particularly interested in the captured Nanzhao soldiers, so he waved his hand and handed over the power to Li Sheng to dispose of the prisoners. When he received a secret letter from Yang Guozhong and ordered him to enter Beijing to offer prisoners before the Winter Solstice Dynasty, Cui Yuan specially asked Li Sheng if he was willing to go to Chang'an together.

Li Sheng, who was a little surprised, thought for a while and asked Cui Yuan if he could allow him to bring his subordinate Liu Xiao. Cui Yuan didn't know who Liu Xiao was, but out of trust in Li Sheng, he nodded without hesitation.

The north wind rises and leaves are yellow, and the prisoners are offered to Beijing to Shu Dao Liang.

When Cui Yuan and his entourage took the captives of Nanzhao and Tubo, and arrived in Guanzhong with the treasures dedicated to the saints, the wind, frost, sword, and cold air of the sky and the earth made them feel that it was winter all night.

Halfway through, Cui Yuan finally figured out that Liu Xiao was a person from Gyeonggi who was drafted into the Jiannan Army last year. During the Battle of the Xi'er River, he was captured by the Nanzhao army and became a slave of the barbarian tribe. When Hou Peng Yiman followed the Nanzhao army to attack the Jiannan Forward Battalion, he was conscripted as a boat, and Liu Xiao was rescued by Li Sheng, and was incorporated into the Zhenyuan Light Cavalry.

After figuring out Liu Xiao's identity, Cui Yuan suddenly remembered that Yang Guozhong had casually mentioned it in a letter a few months ago, asking him to search for a soldier surnamed Liu, saying that it was about the righteous daughter of the concubine, the county lord of Suye. But the big war was imminent, and there were a lot of things, Cui Yuan felt that Yang Guozhong didn't attach importance to this matter and left it behind.

After listening to what happened to Liu Xiao, Cui Yuan tentatively asked if he knew the county lord of Suye. Liu Xiao shook his head again and again, saying that he was just a commoner, and he and his wife were running an inn in the western suburbs of Chang'an, how could they climb to the emperor's relatives.

Cui Yuan, who was a little disappointed, casually asked about the situation of Liu Xiao's family, and when he heard that his wife's name was Jian Ruoxi, Cui Yuan had a flash of inspiration, and immediately connected a string of names such as Jian Ruoxi, Wang Fei, and Suye County Lord.

Hearing that his wife was already the shopkeeper of Su Yeju, who was famous in Chang'an, Liu Xiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded; And when he learned that the county lord of Suye and other nobles were running around looking for him, Liu Xiao couldn't believe it.

Cui Yuan, who was happy to descend from the sky, hurriedly wrote two letters, one to Yang Guozhong and the other to the lord of Suye. When there were only a few days left before Chang'an, Cui Yuan received a reply from Ashina Xiaoyun. In addition to thanking him, Ashina Xiaoyun implored Cui Yuan in the letter to allow Liu Xiao to leave the team and go to the Ruoxi Inn in the western suburbs to reunite with his family.

The concubine's spoiling of the lord of Suye is well known in Chang'an City, and Cui Yuan has long had the intention to please but has no choice but to fulfill people's wishes. If a good opportunity is given today, how can Cui Yuan let it go. So he ordered Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun to take a large team of people and horses to enter Beijing first with the Jiannan Jinju Academy who came to respond, and he himself drove lightly, taking Li Sheng, Liu Xiao and dozens of Jiannan Ya soldiers to the Ruoxi Inn in the western suburbs of Chang'an.

"Li Linfu is declining, and Yang Guozhong is rising. Although he has taken this step, he can plan for the long-term prosperity of the family, and he must not rely on the Yang family alone in the future. Five Yang Blazing Fire Cooking Oil, the momentum is huge, in fact, the holy favor depends on the concubine alone, once there is a change, the power of the Yang family is bound to fall to the ground like a summer iceberg. It would be a good thing to take this opportunity to make a wide range of acquaintances. Of course, if

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Your Majesty is healthy, and you have to find a way to cross the Yang family Jian in the emperor's heart, it is said that Wang Fei is deeply appreciated by Gao Weng...... "Cui Yuan is exhausted and plans for the future of his family."

The roaring north wind was like a pack of wolves galloping across the Mobei grassland, opening its teeth and claws to bite the heavy curtain of the carriage, waking Cui Yuan up from his contemplation. He knocked on the car window, poked his head out and asked softly, "Captain Li, have you arrived?" ”

The upbringing of the children of the family made Cui Yuan maintain a polite and respectful demeanor anytime and anywhere, even when talking to his subordinates, he was also gentle and polite, neither as domineering as Yang Guozhong, nor as vulgar as Xian Yuxiang.

"Deputy Envoy Cui, two or three miles from Liujia Village!" Liu Xiao, who was like an arrow, saw Li Sheng looking at Chang'an City in a daze, and hurriedly replied: "Let the deputy envoy brave the cold to run, a certain heart is very uneasy!" ”

"Actually, I want to use your name to get acquainted with the famous Lord Suye and Jun Lang." Cui Yuan chuckled and waved his hand, signaling that Liu Xiao didn't need to be nervous.

Cui Yuan, who is well versed in the way of the emperor, knows that proper openness and honesty will not only not damage the image of the superior, but can bring the hearts of his subordinates closer.

"Vice Envoy Cui laughed!" Liu Xiao was a little flattered.

Li Sheng glanced at the personable Cui Yuan, but did not listen to his conversation with Liu Xiao in his ears. Thousands of miles from south to north, Li Sheng's mind was always pondering the poisonous needles made by the Swing Yi Department.

After Liu Xiao's introduction, Li Sheng finally figured out that the poison that killed the handsome Wang Zhongsi came from the Nanzhao Pengyi Department, called "Seeing Blood and Sealing the Throat". This poison is produced in 100,000 mountains, and it is the sap of arrow poison wood, which is colorless and tasteless, but extremely poisonous. Once humans and animals suck it, they will suffocate to death in a few moments. The ancestors of the Pengyi tribe first used this poison to hunt and kill fierce beasts, and then gradually used it for tribal fighting. It's just that the arrow poison wood is extremely rare, so the production of "seeing blood and sealing the throat" is very small, looking at Nanzhao, only the Peng Yi Department will make this poison.

"How could Nanzhao's poison run to Handong County?" Li Sheng was puzzled. He has been tracking down the cause of Dashuai's death for many years, and he has never heard of such a cruel and hidden poison in the Central Plains. It was in order to answer the doubts in his heart that Li Sheng decided to follow Cui Yuan into Beijing. After all, the root of the death of the handsome is not in the southwest mountains, but in the Chang'an court.

"Who poisoned it? After a certain investigation is found, you must seek justice for the handsome! At the Winter Solstice Dynasty Meeting, Liu Poyu, Wang Sili, and Lifei brothers will also arrive in Beijing, and they will have to discuss with them if they have an opportunity. Li Sheng filled his chest with anger and clenched his fists.

"Girl!" Liu Xiao's ecstatic shout interrupted Li Sheng's rushing anger like a river, he looked up, only to see a royal blue wine banner surging in the cold wind, and four big characters like flowing clouds were written on it: "Ruoxi Inn".

Under the guise of wine, a capable lady like a flower hugged Liu Xiao tightly. The north wind swept by, and the petals and plums on the women's white brocade robe swayed.

Li Sheng, who was accustomed to fighting, saw Liu Xiao and his wife reunited, and he was unconsciously warm in his chest. He turned over and dismounted, looked at the east, remembered his parents, wife and children in Zhenyuan County, and felt homesick. Cui Yuan also got out of the carriage, stroked his beard and smiled.

"I've seen Deputy Envoy Cui! Great kindness, it is difficult to repay the concubine with a grass rank! Jian Ruoxi blushed and left her husband's warm embrace, and walked to Cui Yuan to bow and salute.

"Actually, it was Captain Li who rescued Zunfu from the Nanzhao Army, so

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) There is no credit for the size. Cui Yuan bowed his hand humbly.

"If it weren't for Deputy Cui's use of soldiers like gods, how would Captain Li have a chance to save people?" Jian Ruoxi flattered Cui Yuan, and then turned to Li Sheng: "Thank you Captain Li for your help!" ”

"What a lot of effort!" Li Sheng replied lightly, he had never had the heart to repay the favor.

Cui Yuan was thinking about how to ask Jian Ruoxi to help visit Wang Fei and Ashina Xiaoyun, but when he heard a squeak, the main entrance of the inn opened, and a pair of beautiful little Langjun and little lady came towards him.

Xiao Langjun wore a pure black mink fur with half an arm, his instrument was lofty, his eyes were like paint, and he stood in the wind like a sword like a halberd; The little lady wore a snow-white fox fur, and her posture exuded a heroic spirit. The two walked side by side, one black and one white, as if flying out of Wu Daozi's murals.

The sharp-eyed Li Sheng caught a glimpse of a figure shaking in the door of the inn, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Li Sheng thought it was his own dazzle, but when he saw Xiao Langjun staring back, he was more and more sure that there was indeed someone behind the door.

"Could it be that someone wants to be unfavorable to the Jiannan Army?" Li Sheng held the hilt of the knife and motioned to the Jiannan Ya soldiers to secretly take precautions. But his question was soon answered, and more than a dozen sturdy warriors with horizontal swords hanging from their waists followed behind Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niangzi, obviously the personal guards of the two.

"It's all veterans who have seen blood!" Li Sheng was shocked in his heart, he had been in battle for a long time, and he smelled the breath of the battlefield from the guards.

Cui Yuan didn't pay attention to the movement behind the door at all, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly smiled and saluted the bright and hearty little lady: "I've seen the county lord of Suye below!" ”

"Let Vice Envoy Cui bother!" Ashina smiled, because of the concubine's wife, she had a lot of relationships with officials of the Yang family.

"It turns out that this little lady is the lord of Suye County, no wonder there is such a big pomp." Li Sheng let down his guard.

"Deputy Envoy Cui helped each other righteously, and he remembered it in his heart. If there is a need in the future, Su Yeju will do his best. Xiao Langjun, whose face was a little haggard, solemnly saluted, mature and steady, like a young man in his twenties.

"This is the famous Jingshi Fei Langjun?" Cui Yuan asked knowingly, somehow, he always felt that Wang Fei was very familiar. can think about it, but Cui Yuan really can't remember when the two met.

"A little bit of fame makes Deputy Envoy Cui laugh! I wonder if Deputy Envoy Cui can take a step to speak? There was a faint urgency in Wang Fei's hoarse voice.

"Huh?" Cui Yuan was a little surprised. He had no relationship with Wang Fei, and he didn't know why the other party suddenly invited him to have a private conversation at the door of the inn so presumptuously and rudely. He glanced at the new inn and immediately thought that there might be other people in the inn, so it was inconvenient for Wang Fei to invite him in.

"Fei Lang-kun, please speak." In the midst of lightning, Cui Yuan made a decision and walked out dozens of steps at will. What can make Wang Fei care so much, Cui Yuan subconsciously feels that he should not miss it.

Although Cui Yuan guessed that there were people in the inn, he didn't know that on the second floor of the main hall of the inn, the "indignant" Wang Qi was standing beside the calm King Jianning and muttered: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, the younger brother is less and more troublesome, indiscriminately befriending cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, repeatedly angering the prince, when his father arrives in Beijing, he must let his father strictly discipline him." ”
