Chapter 458: Sending troops to trap the empty mountain

The spy who was caught later was none other than Hui Zhenghe of the Inspiration Temple. When he was in Chang'an, Huizheng learned that the monk Xuanzang was seized by robbers, and he was very anxious, so he took the jewelry given by Wang Ping'an and went out to save Tang Xuanzang.

But after the two of them got out of the customs, they took a turn in the heavy snow, not only did they not save Tang Xuanzang, but they were robbed of all their belongings, so they had to rely on fate to live. Fortunately, they found out Tang Xuanzang's whereabouts, and knew that Wang Ping'an had come to Zheliu, so they hurriedly ran to meet them.

The city walls of Zheliu County were demolished, and they naturally wanted to come in, and no one stopped them, they were in a hurry to see Wang Ping'an, and they were naturally in a hurry, and they ran to the castle in the middle of the night.

As soon as Wang Ping'an recognized the two of them, Hui Zheng chanted Amitabha Buddha repeatedly, and when it was difficult to finally see his relatives, he broke free from the soldiers, threw himself in front of Wang Ping'an and knelt down, hugged his thighs, snot, and cried with tears!

Gu Lantian and You Xiujie were both surprised, how could these two little monks call Wang Ping'an uncle, this crying person actually called Uncle Shizu, could it be that Wang Ping'an had been a monk before?

Wang Ping'an sighed, patted the top of his head in difficulty, and said, "Why did you come here, have you ever found Master Xuanzang?" He turned his head again and said to Gu Lantian and You Xiujie: "I am a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple, and I am older, and they are both my juniors. ”

Gu Lantian and You Xiujie nodded together, it turns out that you are a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple, no wonder they see you, as if they are seeing relatives.

The soldiers who were holding Huizheng heard Wang Ping'an say this, and hurriedly let go of Huizheng. Hui Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward and said: "Uncle Shi, we have found Master Xuanzang, but we are powerless to rescue, I heard that you arrived at Zheliu, so we ran to find you, you quickly send troops to save Master Xuanzang!" ”

Wang Ping'an said with a bitter face: "I'm going to save people again, I still have two big people here to save, Master Xuanzang has been arrested for a long time anyway, just let him wait, it's not bad for a few days." ”

As he spoke, he said to Ouyang Li again: "Take them down, take a shower and change clothes, and get some hot food for them." Ouyang Li agreed, and pulled Hui Zheng and Youyou to go down, and when he heard that there was something hot to eat, he ran away, but Hui Zheng was very anxious, and seemed to have to make it clear to Wang Ping'an, so he was pulled away by Ouyang Li.

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to bring the two assassins into the house. He sat in the center, accompanied by Gu Lantian and You Xiujie on either side, and the two assassins were pressed down in front of their feet.

Wang Ping'an asked: "Whose subordinates are you, speak out, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin!" ”

The two Assassins did not come to assassinate them, but messengers sent by Qu Zhimao. They first brought the letter to Yumen Pass, but they learned that Gu Lantian had come to Zheliu, so they also ran to Zheliu, but they didn't dare to show their heads in the city.

The Folding Willow Thieves are not a group, but divided into several large and small groups, the largest group is Qu Zhimao, who has the most minions, and these minions used to be the common people of Folding Willow. However, because Qu Zhimao was an outsider, not a local, and he had great ambitions, he was unwilling to be just a robber, so he couldn't stay in the county town and became the target of the official army's encirclement and suppression, so he pulled the team to Baobao Lake and occupied the Trap Mountain.

The robbers who stayed in Zheliu County were the second largest gang, although they were not as strong as Qu Zhimao's gang, but they were more than enough for the maintenance of the territory, not only resolutely did not allow Qu Zhimao's people to come and go in the county, but also assassinated the magistrates sent by the Tang Dynasty, so that Zheliu County has always been in a situation of no official governance.

The two messengers sent by Qu Zhimao were quite convenient to enter the city, and they came in when they said they were in, but they were discovered by the robbers in the city, forcing them to run around and hide in the east, which delayed the time.

But they shot the arrow into the castle, but they didn't want Wang Ping'an's guards to be super powerful, and they couldn't say anything else, but when it came to running, all the soldiers in the entire guard regiment were all runners who had a ranking in the Chang'an Running Conference, and they wanted to run past the people of the guard regiment, it was like a daydream, and they didn't run far before they were caught up and arrested by the guards.

Wang Ping'an said very directly, if you two don't say it, then you two will have to repair it, and it will be repaired until you two say it.

These two messengers are very kind, they can be sent here by Qu Zhimao, so they are naturally ready to be caught in advance, they raised their heads and scolded in unison: "Dog officer, how do you want to torture grandpa, what means do you have, just use it, if grandpa frowns, he will not be a hero!" ”

Gu Lantian was furious, jumped up and shouted: "He***, is there no means to be a master!" Come on, bring a soldering iron and give them a trim and fur! ”

But You Xiujie said: "Why bother with a hard mouth, you are arrested, but your leader may not come to save you, and treat you two as outcasts, why do you bother to apologize for him?" Or speak out, cooperate with the government to suppress bandits, and make meritorious contributions, not only will we not investigate your crimes, but we will reward you heavily! ”

Gu Lantian and You Xiujie sang with red and white faces, but the two messengers were not moved, but scolded loudly, and the dog officials kept scolding!

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said: "I have always had some means to deal with this kind of person, don't they think they are heroes, then let them be heroes!" ”

Gu Lantian said loudly: "Yes, then let them be heroes." Left and right, push the two of them out and cut them down! ”

You Xiujie said, "This ...... It seemed ......" He had the intention to say that it seemed inappropriate, but when he thought that it was to scare the two robbers, he said no more.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Push the two of them into the yard, get some dung, the slippery kind, and pour them down." We must be full, and we must be enough, and we can't let the two of them say that we are stingy! ”

The guards outside the door listened and hurriedly said, "Obey!" "Come in, take these two messengers and go out.

One of the guards asked, "Master, should the dung soup be poured into them hot, or should it be poured after it is cool?" ”

Wang Ping'an snorted, felt a little nauseous, waved his hand and said: "If there is a hot mouth, then let them drink it hot, such a cold day......"

The guards agreed and dragged the two messengers out, and the two messengers scolded even more, until the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the three people was scolded!

You Xiujie scratched her head and said, "This, can this be good?" ”

Gu Lantian said: "I often do this kind of thing to force confessions, but this kind of thing is ...... like pouring dung soup."

Before they had said a word, they went out for a while, and then came back again, and the guards brought back the two messengers!

When they went out, the two messengers were full of passion and cursed, but when they came back, they were both weeping bitterly, and one of them was still full of water, and he couldn't stop crying!

As soon as the two entered the room, they shouted together: "The official lord spares his life, the villain is willing to say, what do you ask, we will say anything, and we don't dare to hide it at all!" ”

Gu Lantian and You Xiujie said in unison: "Hey, this trick is really good, it works so fast!" ”

It turned out that after the soldiers pushed the two messengers into the courtyard, some of them shouted: "Bring the bucket!" And some of them were so impatient that they couldn't wait to bring the bucket over, so they unbuttoned their pants directly, aimed them at one of the robbers, and gave him a hot head with a sneer!

Imagine if there was a gentleman who pressed someone down, and then unbuttoned his pants and sprayed that person's face...... Who can stand this!

The two robber messengers almost fainted, and they didn't dare to really faint, for fear that after fainting, they would be forcibly poured into it, and it would be not too bad but very bad. Let's say whatever you say, just say it quickly, heroes and heroes can stand up to sticks, but they can't eat it...... It's hot!

Wang Ping'an snorted twice and asked, "Why don't you warm up your body first?" It's a cold day. ”

The two robber messengers hurriedly said in unison: "No, thank you, my lord, we are already very hot!" Then, without waiting for Wang Ping'an to ask questions one by one, the two of them said everything that should be said and what should not be said as if they were pouring a bamboo tube.

After the three of them heard this, Wang Ping'an was taken aback, and thought: "After the Gaochang royal family, he actually became the leader of the robbers, and built his nest in the Trap Mountain, and there is a bottomless pit in the mountain, could it be that this person is a rat spirit?" ”

Gu Lantian and You Xiujie didn't feel strange, they already knew about Qu Zhimao's matter, they just pretended not to know, if they knew, they would have to go to suppress it, it would be more troublesome, more things than less!

Wang Ping'an turned his head and said: "Governor Gu, did you know in advance about Master Xuanzang's detention in the Trap Mountain?" ”

Gu Lantian hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't have saved it a long time ago!" Not wanting to talk too much about this issue, he said: "Let these two people lead the way, we will send troops to exterminate them, and if we attack them by surprise, we will definitely be able to rescue Fang Xiangye." ”

You Xiujie also said that it should be so.

Wang Ping'an thought for a while, but said: "It's okay, then do it, quickly order the troops, and we will go overnight!" He first called Ouyang Li and asked him to bring the guard group, and then called Su Dingfang and asked him to pick out a thousand elite Turkic soldiers and follow him to suppress the bandits.

Gu Lannan and You Xiujie each ordered their own soldiers and attendants, and set off with Wang Ping'an.

As soon as the team first assembled, Hui Zheng and those in trouble came and asked to go with Wang Ping'an, they had already explored the way to the empty mountain in advance, and also asked the local villagers where the bottomless pit was in the mountain, but they never had the opportunity to save Tang Xuanzang.

Wang Ping'an naturally agreed, the more people who are familiar with the terrain, the better, and in case of an accident, it is good to have a backup.

After a short time, the Turkic soldiers were assembled, plus the guards and the personal soldiers of Gu You, about 1,500 people, one person and two horses, out of Zheliu County, and ran towards Baobao Lake.

On a snowy day, he couldn't get up quickly, and he ran until dawn, and only ran out of more than 20 miles, Wang Ping'an ordered to rest, and after eating some food, he continued to hurry. As it got dark, the army approached the Jewel Lake.

Wang Ping'an ordered the soldiers to dismount and walk into the mountains, slowly approaching the Trap Mountain.
