Dipped, Wangtawei, Wang Ping'an looked in the direction of Su Dingfang's finger. Then the soldiers and horses rushed through the Turkic brigade and hurried to the gate of the city. The person leading the way was Hou Ling, who was followed by Gu Lantian, and then behind was a team of cavalry from Yumen Pass.

Wang Ping'an said: "Gu Lantian actually came in person, it seems that the confirmed results are not good, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were really captured by the robbers!" ”

Su Dingfang and Qiu Renjie's faces changed, they also heard Wang Ping'an say about this, but seeing that Wang Ping'an didn't "pay much attention", they thought it was fake news, so they naturally didn't take it seriously. But now that they heard Wang Ping'an say this, they were also a little dumbfounded!

Qiu Renjie hurriedly said: "Big brother, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were arrested, is this serious?" Oh, if they were arrested before they saw us, it would be fine, but not long after the net was separated, they were captured by robbers, so you have to save them, otherwise the court will blame you, big brother, you will stay in the fief for the rest of your life, and you want to go back to Chang'an! ”

Su Dingfang's lips moved, he didn't squeak, and he didn't dare to express any opinions. Wang Ping'an shook his head and sighed, but there was nothing he could do, he said: "When Gu Lantian arrives, discuss it with him." I have a share to save people, and he also has a share, and the matter is born in Guanli, his responsibility is greater, and after speaking, he walked down the watchtower and went to pick up Gu Lantian.

Passing through the Turkic brigade, Gu Lantian galloped into Zheliu County. After running into the city, he didn't even hesitate, he didn't ask anyone at all, and ran directly to the castle, obviously he was no stranger to Zheliu County, not only knew that there was a castle in the city, but also knew that the castle was a key location.

When he ran to the gate of the castle, Wang Ping'an had already greeted him. Before Gu Lantian got off the horse, he shouted angrily: "Lord Wang, do you know that matter clearly? ”

Wang Ping'an didn't say polite words, nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it."

Gu Lantian jumped down from his horse and grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand. Stomping his feet and said: "Our brothers hit it off at first sight, this time they are really going to die together, if this matter can't be solved, the court will not push the two of us to the law field together!" ”

Wang Ping'an glanced left and right, and said, "Gu Dadudu, a little bit of mother's restlessness, you didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"

Gu Lantian was stunned, and snorted, with a stinky expression on his face, and said, "Where can I keep the secret, don't you send someone to check the location?" It's been known for a long time."

Wang Ping'an snorted, shook his head and said, "Gu Dadudu, you are so fast!" If you don't keep this secret, even if you rescue them in the future, you won't necessarily be thanked! ”

Gu Lantian's face turned green, his body began to tremble, and he said, "This matter is too important, how can it be kept secret?" I can't keep it a secret! ”

Wang Ping'an pulled him into the castle, and the two went up to the watchtower. Knocking down the left and right, Wang Ping'an said: "The ancient governor is confused. This matter can't be kept secret, but it can't be told by you and me.

If we can save the two of them, we can say that they went deep into the bandits' lair and personally involved in danger, and we cooperated to sweep away the robbers and remove the harm. ”

Gu Lantian mmm But what if you can't get it back? ”

Wang Ping'an looked down on him, does that mean you can't even figure out such a simple question?

He said: "If you don't get it back, then pretend that you don't know anything, if the above investigation is tight, you will push the matter to the head of Guazhou Thorn Shi, anyway, it is also in his jurisdiction, he is not responsible for who is responsible." If it's really ruthless, we also have something to say, don't forget that we sent someone to save them, which can be regarded as a favor for Guazhou's assassination. It's just that Guazhou was confused and did everything he could to do good things, so it led to the failure of the rescue operation. ”

Gu Lantian sighed and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" Anyway, if something happens, the knife will be on the neck, so what's so polite, if you don't push the head of Guazhou Thorn Shi, will it be possible that we will still be stabbed for him? And not his relatives! ”

But as soon as he said this, he almost hit his head against the wall, and said with a bitter face: "Bitter, bitter." Lord Wang, why didn't you tell me earlier, now I have said it, and it is irreparable! So what's next? Brother, I'm all yours, do what you say! ”

Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "The following things are not easy to do!" Tell me first, how did you confirm it? ”

Gu Lantian talked about what he did today. When Hou Ling ran back to Yumen Pass and asked to see him, he hadn't woken up yet, but Hou Ling was not like the attendants, so he hurriedly found another way if he couldn't see him. Hou Ling said to the servants that the imperial court had come to the decree to remove Gu Lantian from his official position, because Gu Lantian was ineffective, and he was here to report the news, and he wanted Gu Lantian to prepare in advance!

Such a big matter, how dare the servants delay, hurriedly ran into Gu Lantian's bedroom, and woke up Gu Lantian with a cold hand towel, and then saw Hou Ling. When I talked about it, Gu Lantian was almost scared to death, and the prime minister was kidnapped by robbers.

Gu Lantian hurriedly sent elite scouts to the woods where the accident occurred, trying to find out whether the ban was true or not. Isn't this easy to confirm, the scouts reported that Lin Bian had indeed been born. And bloodstains!

That's not all, the servant also talked about the matter of the attendant last night, and said what is the matter. The old prime minister's general, because he couldn't wake up Gu Lantian, passed through the pass again, and went to find Wang Ping'an, and someone did come to report the news. But I didn't say what happened. Gu Lantian called the deputy general again, and the deputy general said that there was indeed such a thing!

All the wine was frightened and woke up, Gu Lantian scattered soldiers and horses, probing the wind everywhere, and he himself led his personal entourage, and ran to see Wang Ping'an to discuss countermeasures.

After saying these words, Gu Lantian felt that his whole body was soft, and he slowly sat on the ground, holding his head, and kept saying: "It's over, it's over, it's all over this time!" Lord Wang, hurry up and get a master to come out, otherwise it will really be all over."

Wang Ping'an was silent, looking at the people who were gradually gathering below. These people are all in tattered clothes, and many of them have vegetables on their faces, which shows that life is not good. But there were many young men in the crowd, although they were also wearing tattered clothes, but their faces were ruddy and alert, which was very different from ordinary people.

Around the people, there were a large number of Turkic soldiers, but the Turkic soldiers didn't seem to get too close to these people, just shouting loudly in the distance, waving knives to scare!

Wang Ping'an thought for a while, and then understood that the Turkic soldiers had just arrived, and if they were here to rob, then they didn't need to be polite, but they knew that they would live here in the future, so they didn't dare to kill or injure the people, and the people were mixed with real robbers, and the robbers must have packed up several of the lone Turkic soldiers, causing the Turkic soldiers to be frightened and afraid, but they didn't dare to retaliate!

Everyone has a family, and the Turkic soldiers did not jump out of the stones, they also have relatives to take care of, and relatives are their weakness!

Good people are afraid of bad people, bad people are afraid of evil people, what are evil people afraid of? Afraid of those who don't want to die!

When the Turkic soldiers were robbers, they came and went like the wind, and they were not afraid of the retaliation of the willow thieves, but if they settled here, then they were afraid of retaliation, and the willow thieves became people who came and went like the wind, if they retaliated against the Turkic soldiers and killed some of the Turkic old and weak, how could the Turkic soldiers stand it!

As long as everything involves the people you love and dearest, no matter how hard a man is, he has to soften, this is human nature, a hard-hearted tough guy, you cut off his father or wife and children, see that his heart is still iron, no, he can't even cry! Wang Ping'an held the stone wall in his hand, touched the cold bricks, and calculated in his heart.

Why did the willow thief dare to leave his family behind? That's because they have nothing to fear, knowing that the officials and soldiers are afraid of retaliation, so they don't dare to do anything to their families, and if their families stay here, they can still become internal responses!

So, now that the robbers have captured Fang Xuanling, how can we make them think that we have nothing to fear? Or, do you think that Fang Xuanling has a bit of value and can't be killed, but the value is not big and can't be used as a bargaining chip? How can you get Fang Xuanling back through negotiation, and then use force to suppress the bandits?

Suddenly, I heard Gu Lantian say: "I said Lord Wang, you have an idea, and you can't come up with an idea, I'm afraid that the old prime minister will be stuffed with buns!" ”

Wang Ping'an looked down at him and said, "It's not necessarily that they will kill people seriously, killing them is not good for them, holding hostages is the only way to talk about conditions!" ”

After a pause, he said again: "I have a plan, but there are some risks, I will say it, let's discuss it."

Gu Mutian got up from the ground and said in a continuous voice, "Okay." You say, I'll listen to you all! ”

Wang Ping'an said: "This is so, this is so

Gu Lantian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "This, this is a bit ruthless." It's best to inform the history of Guazhou's thorns, in case something happens, such a big black cauldron, you can't just let the two of us carry it! ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "That's right, this scene has to be sung by him, that's realistic." ”

One hundred and twenty miles to the west of Yumen Pass, there is a big lake, called Baobao Lake, this lake is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and only one road in the south can lead to the outside of the mountain. In shape, it looks like a washbasin with a crack, and the gem lake is the water in the basin.

There are many caves in the mountains, after the lake, the northernmost mountains, there is a mountain, called the hollow mountain, there are countless caves in the mountain, it is said that some deep holes go straight to the ground, unfathomable! The terrain of this hollow mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the best hiding place for bandits.

Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were escorted by the robbers, and after a day and a night's journey, they were taken to Baobao Lake and entered the Trap Mountain. The yellow-bearded man was happy when he saw that he had successfully tied up the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and that there were no pursuers.

After entering a huge cave in the mountain, he ordered his subordinates to bring Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu up.

The yellow-bearded man smiled and said, "Master Fang, let me ask you, how much is your white and pure flesh worth?" You name a number, write a letter to that bastard in Gu Lantian, and you should go back early, lest I have bad food here and raise you thin! ”
