The sound of the rain is urging the early cold, and the wings of the wild goose are wet and difficult to fly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At the beginning of the unitary hour on July 27 (around 17 o'clock in the afternoon), at the Shengwang Manor in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, Wei Boyu, who was fully armored, had just sent Li Qi away, and then led 20 heavily armored Anxi soldiers to inspect the heavily guarded granaries and the porridge factories that were in chaos.

As the son of Concubine Wu Hui, King Sheng is deeply loved by the sage, and the manor covers an extremely wide area, not only has thousands of acres of fertile land, but also has all kinds of forests, springs, and pavilions. There was already a granary on the estate, which was used to store the harvest of the fields. Since March this year, Sheng Wanghu has built a large warehouse that can store tens of thousands of stones of grain outside the east wall of the manor, and quickly filled it.

The west side of the granary is adjacent to the manor, and there is no door, and the rest of the directions are opened. When the flood was together, King Sheng set up a porridge factory outside the south gate of the granary to relieve the displaced people. The manor is surrounded by people and cars, and it has become the most well-known place in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an for a while.

Recently, the disaster situation has become more and more intense, and the supply of Shengwang's granary is in short supply, although thousands of stone of grain are smuggled in every night, but it is still unable to meet the needs of disaster relief. As a last resort, King Sheng had no choice but to make a noise to buy grain at a high price, and the caravan that smelled the smell of copper immediately gathered at the manor.

The caravans coming from the south to the north were mixed, and Wei Boyu was worried that someone would be unfavorable to the granary, so he specially asked Li Xiang and Gao Jieshuai to send dozens of Anxi soldiers and more than 100 warriors of the Xiangfu Guards. Wei Boyu compared the regulations of the border army, appointed Anxi Yabing as the team leader and brigade commander, and strictly trained the guards of the Xiangfu who had uneven combat effectiveness. And he also wore undressed clothes, and made rounds day and night.

"Where the hell is that damn Pei Cheng hiding!" The rain was as fast as a whip, whipping Wei Boyu's Mingguang armor and the mount under his crotch, but it could not extinguish the flame of revenge in his chest, if it weren't for Gao Jieshuai's strict order to guard King Sheng's granary, Wei Boyu really wanted to leave Chang'an and pursue the murderers of the two robes wholeheartedly.

In the night battle of Guiyifang, Wei Boyu was stunned after the defeat. When he woke up, the two tooth soldier brothers had died in the Xing Wei Mansion in Jinchengfang, which became evidence of Gao Jieshuai's collusion with Wang Weld to rebel.

There was no danger to survive the Wang Weld case, Li Xiang's mind was all on the court battle, and he had already left behind the two innocent Anxi soldiers who were sent to death; Gao Jieshuai ordered Anxi Jinju to bury the unjustly killed tooth soldiers and compassionate the bereaved families, but he was worried about the safety of his family and the king and the prime minister, and he also had the heart to chase the murderer.

The big guys are worried about the overall situation of the world, and they can't care about the life and death of one or two pawns. Wei Boyu was obsessed with the ancient creed of "revenge must be avenged", and vowed to take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

When the dust of Wang Weld's case was settled, Wei Boyu set out to find the real culprit. It took him several months and a lot of effort, only vaguely finding out that the night battle of Guiyifang involved Li Xiang, Yang Guozhong, Donggong and other forces. Except for Li Xiang, the rest of the parties are likely to kill the Anxi soldiers.

When he was at a loss, Fei Langjun, who gave Li Xiang the Snow Lotus Pill, took the initiative to tell Wei Boyu that it was Pei Cheng, the shopkeeper of Wenxitang, who killed the two tooth soldiers. Wei Boyu was a little stunned when he heard it at first, and he didn't know where Pei Cheng was. After Wang Fei broke down and crumpled the calculations and plans of all parties in the Wang Weld case, Wei Boyu understood that Pei Cheng did this because Donggong wanted to frame Gao Jieshuai for colluding with Li Xiang to rebel, in order to avenge the Wei Jian case that year.

The Wei Jian case shocked the government and the opposition back then, and Wei Boyu, who grew up in Chang'an, naturally heard about it. Li Xiang and Donggong Ming fought between right and wrong, Wei Boyu couldn't figure it out

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) clues, but he feels that in any case, the wanton use of innocent people's lives as pawns is really hateful.

Wei Boyu suspected for a moment that Wang Fei had ulterior motives for having a long talk with him. But the other party seemed to guess his thoughts, and clearly said that Su Yeju and Pei Cheng had a deep grudge, and they would do their best to arrest him, without the help of others. The reason why I told the truth was that I didn't want him to be confused.

Wei Boyu didn't expect that he could bring down the culprit Donggong, but he was determined to rely on the sword in his hand to seek justice from Pei Cheng. After the Winter Solstice Dynasty Meeting, Gao Jieshuai stayed in Beijing as the prime minister, Wei Boyu took the opportunity to visit and implore him to be transferred out of the Li Mansion, and Gao Xianzhi said that he would consider it carefully.

Who expected that when Gao Xianzhi first entered the political affairs hall, he was full of troubles and busy, and the matter was delayed again and again, until the flood came, Wei Boyu still did not leave the Li Mansion. When Li Qi, the king of Sheng, began to release grain for disaster relief, Wei Boyu was sent by Li Xiang to the eastern suburbs manor to defend the granary. Fortunately, Su Yeju has always sent people to report and track Pei Cheng's progress in a timely manner, so that Wei Boyu is not so anxious. It's just that Pei Cheng is as cunning as a fox, and Fei Langjun has tried his best, but he still hasn't caught his tail.

"After the disaster is alleviated, I will never do this boring errand again!" Wei Boyu complained, but he still fulfilled his duties, his eyes fixed on the disaster victims and caravans coming and going. In the blink of an eye, he had inspected the east gate of the granary. The east gate is the gate of food, and the camels and horses outside the door are noisy, and the carts are like dragons; In the granary, hundreds of Ding Zhuang were carrying the mountain of sacks into the granary under the supervision of the Xiangfu guards.

Random inspection, weighing, settlement and other matters are all in the hands of the servants of the Sheng Wangfu and the Li Mansion, Wei Boyu has bumped into the businessman bribing the housekeeper of the housekeeper several times, for which he specially talked to the Li Mansion housekeeper Li Zhuang, Li Zhuang promised to purge the domestic servants, but there was no practical action.

At the moment, there was a two-eared caravan leader who took out several silver coins from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the servant in charge of the random inspection, and the smiling servant immediately waved his hand and no longer unpacked the bag to inspect the caravan's food.

"Forget it, out of sight is pure. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and it is estimated that Steward Li is not clean. Wei Boyu, who was full of slander, rode away.

When Wei Boyu, who had been inspecting the circle, turned to the east gate of the granary again, most of the hundreds of bags of grain transported by "Zhaofeng Er" had been moved into the warehouse by Ding Zhuang, and the caravan was about to drive away.

"These bags of grain are a lot lighter, and it seems that someone is collecting money again."

"Hey, not only is there a shortage of catties, but there is also a bit of a strange smell in the bag!"

"Keep your voice down, this caravan is too fierce, don't offend them."

The conversation between the two grain movers Ding Zhuang came into Wei Boyu's ears, and by the light of the lantern at the east gate, he glanced at the men in the caravan, and his thick and powerful arms and vigorous and neat steps made him suspicious.

"That's not right!" Wei Boyu drew his long sword and urged the horse forward. When he approached the caravan, he jumped into the caravan carriage with his feet off his stirrups: "These people have ill intentions and unknown intentions, stop them quickly." ”

Hearing this, the Anzaya soldiers and the Xiangfu guards moved, picked up their guns and drew their swords, and tried to surround the caravan. Dozens of caravan men did not panic, they quickly turned out the wave sword, Yu knife, strong bow, and hard crossbow from the carriage, and relied on the cart to form a formation to meet the enemy. The tense situation frightened the servants inside and outside the east gate and the rest of the caravan into a hurry.

"Nanzhao samurai?!" Wei Boyu guessed the identity of the other party according to the weapon, and in the past two years, Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty have been fighting, and Nanzhao sent elite soldiers to sneak into Gyeonggi to spy in disguise as merchants

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is reasonable, but he can't figure out what the enemy wants.

Wei Boyu was stunned for a moment, and the opponent's crossbowman had already wound his bow. The Prime Minister's Guards, who did not carry shields, were so frightened that they hurriedly evacuated to avoid being hit by a rain of arrows. Ignoring the threat of their crossbows, the heavily armored Ansiya soldiers picked up their mounted shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands, and continued to gallop around to outflank the enemy.

"Rain is galloping, how can your bow and crossbow shoot through the bright light armor!" Wei Boyu roared angrily, pulled out the horizontal knife with his left hand, and exerted his strength with both feet, like a big peng spreading his wings and rushing towards the crossbowman.

With a few bangs, more than a dozen weak arrows hit Wei Boyu's armor and the cavalry shield of the Anxi Ya soldiers, and if the raindrops fell on the lotus leaves, they would slide to the ground in an instant. One of the feathered arrows that shot at Wei Bo's jade-faced door was also knocked away by him with his sword. Only two or three long arrows struck the mounts of the two tooth soldiers, and the horsemen rose to their feet in pain. The Anxi soldiers, who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, immediately abandoned their horses, rolled up on the ground, and charged with their swords.

"Kill!" Wei Boyu's sword swung like a windmill spinning, screaming everywhere he went, and the four or five crossbowmen instantly lost their combat effectiveness.

"Anxi Yabing, remember to catch the mouth alive!" Wei Boyu saw that the opponent's combat strength was mediocre, and beckoned his men to besiege the enemy. The Xiangfu guards, who were good at fighting against the wind, saw that Wei Boyu was brave, so they rushed up, trying to use their numerical advantage to crush the opponent.

The rabbit falls, and the torch flies.

As everyone's attention was focused on the battle outside the east gate of the granary, a dark shadow climbed over the wall from the northwest corner of the granary, and she swung her sword to cut down several servants who were watching from afar, pulled out the torches stuck in the wall, threw them all into the granary, and then climbed the rope and jumped up the wet wall, disappearing into the night rain.

"It's not good, they're going to burn the granary!" Wei Boyu caught a glimpse of the movement in the granary with his peripheral vision, and finally understood the enemy's true intentions: "The Anxi Ya soldiers will kill the enemy with a certain one, and the Xiangfu guards will go to put out the fire!" ”

"What are you afraid of, the rain is strong and the tide is strong, and at most dozens of sacks of grain will be burned." In the granary, the lazy servants felt that a few torches were insignificant, and the Xiangfu guards who returned to fight the fire were not in a hurry.

"Zhao Feng Er" laughed wildly: "Sure enough, sons, hold on for a while, and reinforcements will come!" ”

"Reinforcements?" Wei Boyu, who frowned, was uneasy: "How many Nanzhao spies have infiltrated Gyeonggi?" It seems that the thief must be captured alive to find out. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that Anxiya's soldiers rushed into the enemy formation to assassinate him, Wei Boyu kept an eye on the target, stabbed left and right, and overturned several enemies one after another, touching the "wind ear". He was about to fly to capture the leader of the caravan, when he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air from the northeast.

"I've met an old rival!" Wei Boyu, who jumped sideways to dodge, remembered the night when Li met and was assassinated, like the screaming sound of a ghost breaking through the air, he will never forget.

With a pop, a long, pitch-black arrow stabbed the caravan leader's throat, and he was still stunned as he fell into the mud. The sound of breaking the air did not stop, and the long arrows of the carved feathers that were as fast as meteors came one after another, killing all the remaining seven or eight caravan warriors in an instant.

"Killing people and killing mouths, what a ruthless method!" Wei Boyu roared loudly: "Anxi Yabing, kill the enemy with a certain one!" ”

More than a dozen bloodied Anxi soldiers were about to urge their horses forward, when they suddenly felt a heat wave surging behind them, and the hot mounts were panicked. Wei Boyu turned his head to look back, only to see that the huge granary had been reduced to a sea of fire.
