Chapter 103: Expressing Their Opinions and Fighting for Power (3)
"You want to enter Beijing?" Cui Yuan thought for a moment and asked in astonishment.
"Exactly, I want to go to the capital to accuse Yang Guozhong of bullying the monarch and causing trouble in Jiannan!"
"Bold! What proof do you have!? ”
"Here's the proof!" Li Sheng's fist slammed into the breastplate that was as bright as a mirror: "Although I haven't read a few books, I have heard the handsome man say that where the Tao is, where the heart is, nine deaths without regrets!" ”
"Nine deaths without regrets!" Cui Yuan was shocked by Li Sheng's stubbornness and was silent for a long time.
"Deputy Envoy Cui, I will say goodbye!" Li Sheng was about to turn around, but saw Cui Yuan slowly stretch out three fingers.
"Three days, so-and-so can only cover up for you for three days. After three days, Yang Xiangguo will definitely block the passages from Jiannan to Chang'an. Whether you can reach Chang'an safely depends on your creation. Cui Yuan's tone was as low as the autumn breeze outside the tent: "Fei Langjun has great powers, and you can find him for help after entering Beijing." ”
"Thank you!" Li Sheng solemnly bowed goodbye.
The wind rises in the south of the autumn, and the rush is worried about the country.
Li Sheng originally planned to leave alone as he left Longyou back then, but Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun did not agree, and the two forced each other to "live and die together" when worshipping, forcing Li Sheng to agree to go together. Liu Xiao was shocked by the three of them, and only said, "Which of you is more familiar with Chang'an than so-and-so", which made Li Sheng decide to take him with him.
Leaving the Tang army camp on the south bank of Dadu Shui, Li Sheng and his entourage rushed to Yizhou in the starry night. Soon, the guards in Jiannan and the checkpoints in Fengsui received an order from Xian Yuxiang, the envoy of Jiedu, to strictly investigate the deserters. The Suye Juyizhou branch is even more stared at, and every move falls in the eyes of those who care.
A few days later, Su Yeju suddenly sent several caravans, some of them went north directly on the Golden Bull Road, some took the Micang Road and Lychee Road to the east, and the steep and tortuous Yinping Road to the west.
Jiannan Jiedu, who had been on guard for a long time, made the official offices fortified everywhere and searched at all levels, but found nothing. They did not expect that all the caravans sent by Su Yeju were all tricks to set up a suspicious array, and Li Sheng and the others had already sailed down the river with white sails, passed through Yuzhou, went out of the Three Gorges, and left the land of Bashu. Su Yeju was worried that Li Sheng's Qinghai Cong was too conspicuous, so he deliberately mixed it into the caravan that took the Yin Ping Road.
When Jiannan was busy arresting Li Sheng and others, a rich man surnamed Ren suddenly died violently in Yizhou City, but few people in the city paid attention to this case......
Chu Mountain came out horizontally, and Han Water returned to the sky.
When they arrived in Hanyang, Li Sheng and his entourage went ashore to pay homage to Wang Zhonghei, and then went up the Han River until Shangzhou, the birthplace of the Han River, before abandoning the boat and going ashore to buy horses and travel by land.
Guanzhong is known as the land of four stops, and the so-called four stops are four male passes. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the four stoppers were Donghan Valley, West Dasanguan, Nanwu Pass, and North Xiaoguan. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the siltation of sand and soil in the valley of the Yellow River, Hangu Pass no longer had the advantage of physical victory, so it was replaced by Tongguan.
Shangzhou is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, and it is a strategic point in the southeast of Guanzhong. The famous Wuguan is located on the boundary of Shangzhou, and after Wuguan is Gyeonggi.
After successfully passing through Wuguan with the passage provided by Su Yeju, Li Sheng, who pretended to be a ranger, breathed a sigh of relief, and they ate a fragrant mutton dumpling in the Ruyiju tavern at home, and bought dozens of golden and crispy sesame cakes as dry food.
The wind passes through Shangluo and the clouds cross the Qinling Mountains.
After passing through Wuguan, you need to travel more than 100 miles of mountain roads to reach the Guanzhong Plain. Although the Gyeonggi area was heavily defended, the Qinling Mountains were sparsely populated, and there was no risk of being searched for a while.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) when you are about to walk out of the Qinling Mountains, the number of checkpoints set up in Jingzhao Mansion has increased suddenly, and from time to time there are warriors in strong armor with horizontal swords on their waists, staring at the passers-by, obviously Yang Guozhong has heard the wind.
After passing the two levels by luck, Li Sheng gradually became a little anxious. Previously, in Suyeju, Yizhou, the shopkeeper said that he would fly pigeons to inform Fei Langjun to ensure that someone answered in Gyeonggi, and gave Li Sheng a bronze medal engraved with ghost drawing patterns as a token. But the checkpoints are getting denser and denser, but there are still no people from Su Yeju, Li Sheng can't help but be a little worried.
At the next pass, Li Sheng and the others had already passed, but for some reason, the guards ordered them to come back with swords and bows, and the warriors scattered on the road also drew their swords and gathered. The impatient Lei Wanchun pretended to return, and suddenly smashed the bow-wielding officer with a swing, urging the horse to run.
"If we don't go up the mountain, we might find a path." Liu Xiao is not particularly sure, after all, he is familiar with Chang'an City rather than Qinling Mountain.
"Up the hill!" Li Sheng quickly made a decision: "The enemy has a lot of bows and crossbows, and if you don't hide in the forest, you will be killed and wounded." ”
A hundred turns of mountain roads and a thousand turns of dense forests.
Li Sheng and the others fought and retreated, stunning and scaring most of the pursuing officers, but there were still many warriors in strong suits who were clinging to the back.
"The Jiannanya soldiers guarding the Jinju Academy...... Li Sheng guessed the identity of the warriors in the strong suit from the other party's skills: "They are much more difficult than the officials of Jingzhao Mansion. ”
"Many tooth soldiers' tracking techniques are still taught by my elder brother himself......" Nan Jiyun smiled bitterly and knocked down the arrow cluster, he knew that Li Sheng was benevolent and would never be ruthless to the robe.
"My brother seems to be pedantic, but his heart is sincere, he does not kill indiscriminately, he is not greedy for merit, and he is upright. Only in this way can a certain person trust his back to him with confidence. Nan Jiyun knew that Li Sheng's bodhisattva heart would add some trouble, but he was still willing to follow him.
Li Sheng was looking around for favorable terrain when he suddenly heard a muffled snort behind him, and then a woman in a purple shirt flashed out from behind a cypress tree more than twenty feet away.
"I am Su Thirteen Niang, and I came to meet Captain Li on the order of Fei Langjun." The woman was covered with purple veil and walked forward slowly.
"Su Thirteen Niang?" The last time Li Sheng escorted Cui Yuan into Beijing, he had vaguely heard this name.
"Su Sanniang is the wife of Wang Yong, the soldier and horse envoy of the Beiting Courtyard, and the apprentice of Gongsun Auntie, and her swordsmanship is very good." Liu Xiao heard his wife mention Su Sanniang many times, but he never saw it with his own eyes.
"You killed the pursuers?" Li Sheng asked with a frown.
"Captain Li is really a person of great mercy and compassion, I just stunned them with my scabbard."
"Very good!" Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know what evidence you have?" ”
"Captain Li is really cautious." The woman in the purple gauze took a few steps forward and threw out a bronze medal: "This is Su Yeju's token." ”
"It's all ghost drawing talismans...... Li Sheng carefully compared it according to the instructions of the shopkeeper of Su Yeju, and found that there was no difference, so he threw the bronze medal on his waist high: "This is a token of the Yizhou branch of Su Ye Ju, please also ask Thirteen Niang to check." ”
"Good!" The woman caught the bronze medal with both hands, and the distance between the two sides was only five or six feet away at this moment.
"That's not right!" Li Sheng patted Lei Wanchun, who had let down his guard, and then glanced at Nan Jiyun and Liu Xiao.
"Captain Li......" The woman in purple glanced at the bronze medal and was about to open her lips, but found that Li Sheng and the others had disappeared.
"Nanzhao palace maid, why don't you wear gloves and send poison needles today?" Li Sheng's tone was cold, and the sound of breaking the air sounded.
"Captain Li
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) What does it mean? The woman hid behind a tree, avoiding Nan Jiyun's long arrows.
"Your right hand is dark, but your left hand is much whiter. It can be seen that you have lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and you often wear gloves on your left hand, so the skin color of your two hands is different. Li Sheng explained: "Although I don't know Su Sanniang, I know that she is not from Jiannan. ”
"I miscalculated, but I didn't expect Captain Li to be so careful." The woman smiled like Lin Xiao: "I wanted the officials to catch you, but who knew that they would still be useless after changing to Jing Zhaoyin; Fang deliberately took off his gloves, but there was still an omission. It seems that you can't be lazy, so you can only attack. Do you four take turns, or do you all work together? Anyway, I'm not afraid. ”
"Let me be your opponent!"
Before the person arrives, the knife arrives first. A flying knife shot like light and lightning from the northwest, and the woman in purple yarn leaped backwards, narrowly dodging away.
"Su ......" The purple-shirted woman thought for a moment, threw out a flying tiger claw, like an ape flying, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests are sparse, and the sword aura is like frost.
"Captain Li is frightened, it's Su Sanniang." Su Sanniang jumped down from between the branches and said loudly: "For the first time in my life, I was faked, so I made you laugh." ”
"What credentials do you have?" Although Li Sheng believed a little in his heart, he had to be cautious because of his experience: "Who is that woman in Fangcai?" ”
"Her name is Duan Daluo, she used to be my senior sister, and she is a member of the Nanzhao Pengyi tribe."
"Swing the people, see the blood seal the throat, and the war in Jiannan ......" Li Sheng frowned and said: "In this way, she must be involved in the death of the loyal heir." ”
"Loyal heir handsome......" Su Sanniang sighed lightly: "This place is not suitable for a long time, the top priority is to enter the city as soon as possible." ”
"You came to help on the orders of Fei Langjun?" Li Sheng was still a little worried.
"How can Fei Langjun look for me now......" Su Sanniang's expression suddenly darkened a little: "I noticed that Duan Daluo appeared in Gyeonggi, and I tracked it down here." ”
"In that case, don't dare to bother Your Excellency, you will find a way to enter Beijing." Li Sheng arched his hand from afar.
"You!" Su Sanniang was angry and annoyed: "Why are you so pedantic!" How do you get into Beijing without help? ”
Horses' hooves are rattling and fallen leaves are fluttering.
"He has always been so pedantic, but because of this, he can do what others can't." Wang Yong turned over from Wuli and smiled: "Shiro can be trusted? ”
"Wang Siyi?!" Li Sheng, who was surprised and delighted, hugged his old friend tightly: "Why are you here?" Where have you been hiding all these years? Some people say that you will return to your hometown in Yingzhou in despair, but Mou never believes that you will be a deserter. ”
Wang Yong glanced at his wife's delicate appearance before apologizing: "It's a long story, Fei Langjun is waiting for you in the western suburbs manor, can you leave the land of right and wrong first?" Fei Langjun sent someone to answer early, but there was no response for a long time. Worried about change, he hurried over, but it was still too late. ”
"Those few Prima Dart Masters have died at the hands of Duan Dara." Su Sanniang whistled and called the purple horse: "Wenxia's little girl is also studying in Suye Yi, and she happens to be looking for her." ”
Wang Yong didn't expect his wife to go to the western suburbs manor, and he was very happy. He hurriedly beckoned Master Su Ye to quickly dress up for Li Sheng and the others, and then whipped away.
The clear stream flows through the top of the blue mountain, and the empty water is clear and fresh in autumn.
Su Sanniang, who was galloping on her horse, glanced back, and saw Wang Yong's black horse following behind her not far away, and suddenly there was a trace of tenderness in her heart.
