Hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, An Lushan saluted again and said, "After Weichen learned about this, he also sent someone to investigate, although he didn't catch the murderer, but"

Seeing An Lushan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Tang Xuanzong immediately said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I will make the decision for you!" ”

Hearing this, he saw An Lushan and said with a little trepidation, "The people sent by Weichen have investigated all the way, and the final spearhead is indeed pointed at the Yang clan!" ”

Hearing this, Tang Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, but then said with some disbelief, "This is unlikely, Yuhuan's family has no grievances with you, how can it harm you?" In my opinion, it must be the murderer who wants to blame the Yang family."

After hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, a glimmer of light flashed in An Lushan's eyes, and he immediately nodded, "Weichen thinks the same." However, there has been another war with Wechen recently, and the Turks in the north have moved their troops to the vicinity of my jurisdiction after being blocked by the general of Zhenguo, and Wechen must return to the town and command the battle. Please give your Majesty's permission! ”

After hearing An Lushan's words, Tang Xuanzong naturally knew that he was afraid of death, and as for the war or something, it was just an excuse. After all, the dispute between his territory and the northern Turks is not a day or two. Why is it such a coincidence that you have to go back at this time?

However, although he knew the reason, Tang Xuanzong still granted An Lushan's request after a little hesitation. After all, now Tang Xuanzong himself does not dare to guarantee that An Lushan must be safe in the palace, and he can't let An Lushan be with him in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After getting Tang Xuanzong's permission, An Lushan saluted again, turned around and left here, walking towards the outside of the palace.

When An Lushan left Tang Xuanzong's palace, the smile on his face and the trace of panic disappeared suddenly, and his face was full of gloom. It is not difficult to see from Tang Xuanzong's attitude just now that even if he knew that the murderer was from the Yang family, he would never really punish the mastermind behind the scenes to death. At most, the minions sent to assassinate him will be killed as scapegoats.

It was precisely after understanding this just now that An Lushan didn't even refute it in the slightest, and directly followed Tang Xuanzong's meaning. However, it is impossible for An Lushan to easily let go of the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, let's not talk about the murder of Lao Wu. Just the reason that the other party wants to get rid of himself is enough for An Lushan to resist the other party to the end at any cost.

After leaving the palace, An Lushan and his hundreds of guards converged, and then they ran towards the outside of Chang'an City.

At the same time, in Yang Guozhong's mansion, several black-clothed men were standing honestly in the lobby, and inside, Yang Guozhong was sitting on a chair and looking at them with appreciation. At this moment, I saw a guard rushing in from outside the door, and after this person rushed in, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to your lord, An Lushan and his party have left the city, and they are going in the direction of Fan Yang along the official road at this time." ”

Hearing this, Yang Guozhong's eyes immediately revealed a hint of coldness. He said coldly to the big men who were standing at the head of the next generation, "A thousand days before raising soldiers, use soldiers for a while." Today is the time for you people to show what you are capable of. No matter how much it costs, An Lushan must remain on the official road forever. If we let it return to Fanyang, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble in the future! ”

Hearing Yang Guozhong's order, these big men immediately clasped their fists and shouted, "We will definitely complete the task!" ”

With that, the men walked briskly outside. These people were the leaders of several mountain bandits on the mountains near Chang'an City. Of course, this is only their superficial identity. In fact, these people are all forces that Yang Guozhong secretly cultivated when he was a small county magistrate in the early years.

At that time, because Yang Guozhong was only a small county commander, he couldn't support too many mountain bandits. However, since Yang Yuhuan was favored not long ago, Yang Guozhong was also promoted by Tang Xuanzong one after another, and now, it has reached the point of manipulating state affairs.

And as his power grows, the wealth in his hands naturally becomes more and more. With the support of Yang Guozhong's large amount of wealth, the number of those bandit villages that he had secretly cultivated before had increased by three or four times in a few months.

And after Yang Guozhong failed to assassinate An Lushan, in desperation, he could only find these people and let them destroy An Lushan and his party in the middle of the road. Otherwise, once An Lushan returns to his jurisdiction, he will definitely gather forces again and secretly probe the people who secretly plotted against him. Although that staff member is very hidden, even An Lushan may not be able to find out about him.

However, for Yang Guozhong, even if An Lushan will not find out about him, he will still be a strong opponent in the future. After all, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, if he Yang Guozhong wants to win the favor of Tang Xuanzong, he must kill An Lushan.

An Lushan and his entourage did not make too much fanfare after leaving Chang'an City. They knew that someone must be watching in the dark. After all, if the other party fails to assassinate once, he will definitely look for an opportunity again.

However, on the rest of the journey, they did not encounter the trouble they imagined.

By the evening, they had already left Chang'an City for a long distance. Rao is An Lushan, who is cautious by nature, and he is also slightly relieved in his heart. He said to himself: It's already such a long distance away from Chang'an City, and the other party shouldn't follow me anymore~

Although he thought so in his heart, An Lushan kept reminding his soldiers not to let their guard down.

However, all accidents happen at unexpected moments. As they passed by a small hill, more than a hundred arrows were suddenly shot from the mountainsides on both sides. The guards standing on both sides had already been shot through the body by several sharp arrows before they could react.

More arrows were fired at the carriages carrying An Lushan and several staff members in the middle. However, when the sharp arrows came into contact with the carriage, only a few crisp collision sounds were heard, and the arrows shot at the carriage fell one after another. Only the horses pulling the carts in front were killed by the arrows, but the carriages were unscathed.

At the same time, the soldiers who followed in front and behind also reacted, and hurriedly looked for cover in all directions. Prevent yourself from being hit by arrows.

However, by the time they were all hiding, there were no arrows on either side, and instead a large number of rocks were rolling down from the top of the hills on both sides.

Seeing this scene, An Lushan immediately made a decision and asked everyone to throw away as much as possible the things on their bodies, leaving only their weapons to flee forward. After all, this is the only way they can escape faster.
