Chapter 178: Glad to be safe
The border pass was tense, and I thought that no one would come to take over, but the reality was always unexpected, and when it was less than 30 miles away from the border pass, the border soldiers dispatched a large team of men and horses, and they happened to meet Liu An and others.
"The subordinates are late, and I hope the prince will forgive his sins!" The man dressed as a general at the border pass said respectfully.
The prince straightened his body, and it was rare to be serious at this moment.
"This general, get up and speak, the border is tight, it is rare to have a heart, there is no need to be polite."
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." The general got up, looked at the accompanying Ye Jiajun, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe, otherwise his subordinates will be killed." ”
This is a bit strange to say, as if the prince is not in trouble, it seems abnormal.
Liu An was very curious.
"Hey, big general, tell me, what's going on? weishenme listens to your tone, it seems that if something happens to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is not normal? ”
Liu An asked suddenly, which made the other party a little surprised, where did the kid come from, he doesn't know how to be polite like this, he is young, and he is not a big person, he really doesn't understand the rules! And it feels as if there is something to say!
The other party has been in the officialdom for some years, and his thoughts are naturally more than Liu An, a newcomer to officialdom.
A seemingly ordinary question, when it reached the other party's ears, it was particularly harsh, as if what the other party said was cursing the prince.
This is how can the other party give Liu An a good face, with a dark face, "I am the border guard of the Ye family's army, who are you?" How dare this general interject when he talks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, aren't you afraid of military law! ”
The other party's sudden turn of face made Liu An a little unable to turn his brain, when did he provoke this guy? Why are you talking so impulsively? It's like I'm molesting his sister.,As for it?
Fortunately, Liu An is not a vegetarian, a member of the three grades, and he is a big official wherever he goes!
"I am the one who accompanied the hand-picked superintendent army this time, and the official residence is from the third grade, I don't know if I can express my opinion?" Liu An asked.
The other party was speechless, young age, from the third grade? Who believes when you say it? He also thought that Liu An was just an entourage slave at most, but he didn't expect it to be the master of the prison army!
For the prison army of this royal conquest, the other party has also heard a little, it is said that it is the emperor's seal, and the identity is really incredible! But how does Liu An look at it, how does he look like a stunned young man, it is really difficult to associate him with a third-grade master.
Looking at the accompanying Ye Jiajun, no one's expression changed, thinking that what Liu An said was true, it was really the supervisor of the army!
Since Liu An is not small, and the other party can be regarded as a smart person, he did not die with Liu An, his expression changed, his tone changed, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be the master of the prison army, and his subordinates don't know, they are offended, and they still look at Haihan." ”
He smiled shyly as he spoke, with the expression of a child who had done something wrong.
As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, the other party and Liu An have no grudges in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, so there is no need to fight to the death, since they are all wrong, Liu An is not a stingy person.
"The general is polite, Haihan doesn't need to be anything, the general's military style is rigorous, which can be regarded as a good thing, you haven't answered the question of the previous supervising army! weishenme said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in trouble, you are worth celebrating? ”
"This ......" the other party was a little difficult to say.
looked at the prince, and didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Xiao Anzi is the most trusted person of His Royal Highness, there is no need to hide anything, just say it, His Royal Highness is also very curious." The prince laughed.
Since this is the case, the other party will no longer hide it.
"Here's the thing, yesterday my subordinates received a letter from the capital, saying that it was Concubine Li**, who had bought off the people in the green forest, and was ready to ambush His Highness on the road, but yesterday was fighting with the enemy, and he couldn't draw people and horses, so he hurriedly rushed back from the border pass today to support His Highness, fortunately, His Highness is safe, otherwise his subordinates will die!"
The other party said it very sincerely, so that people could not doubt it.
The generals at the border pass are almost all garrisoned by the Ye family, and the importance of the prince to the entire Ye family is self-evident, so the other party is very nervous.
In a word, Liu An's doubts were immediately solved, Lei Feng and others, it is very likely that Li Guifei sent someone to buy it and rob and kill the prince, as soon as the prince dies, the four princes will have no opponent.
No wonder Concubine Li didn't let the four princes come to the border that day.
At this moment, many ideas were clarified.
The Ye family holds the military power, and the crown prince drives the emperor in person, which is a good thing. But not for the Four Princes! If the four princes come to the border, the Ye family will probably kill the four princes at the cost of losing a few heads.
Similarly, if the crown prince goes on the expedition, if Concubine Li doesn't stumble, it will be too abnormal.
Fortunately, Yujian's first gang of robbers was Lei Feng, so let the pro-conscription army be vigilant, otherwise Liu An felt that he had probably died many times!
Just a little puzzled, Liu An asked: "Li Guifei did this, is it difficult to achieve it and not be afraid of making people suspicious?" Assassinating the crown prince, even if she is the imperial concubine, it is estimated that she will also be imprisoned! Along the way, we encountered no less than 40 waves of robbers. ”
"What the Lord of the Prison Army asked is extremely true, why is Concubine Li not afraid, but if she dares to do it, she is not afraid of letting people catch the evidence, even if there is evidence, the ghost will carry this matter for the dead, not to mention that the adult also said that there are no less than forty waves of robbers, I don't know if the adults have ever thought about it, if these forty waves of robbers, if they attack the pro-conquest army at the same time, can they still resist?" The other party asked.
Liu An was suddenly taken aback when he heard this, yes! The least number of robbers is the group of Da Tooth Mountain led by Lei Feng, there are thirty people from Big Tooth Mountain, and forty waves of robbers are counted, thousands of people!
If it is a head-on confrontation, even if there are two hundred elites of the Ye family's army, it will not be useful.
Fortunately, he didn't come to fight at the same time, Liu An was glad that even the prince was scared, such a simple mathematical problem is not difficult for a research madman.
Only then did the prince suddenly understand that he had almost confessed on the way to the border pass.
"Weishenme, those robbers didn't think of joining together?" The prince asked.
This time, he grabbed Liu An first.
The other party didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "It's not that I didn't think of it, but I didn't dare." The prince's personal expedition, the state capitals and county offices, were all very nervous, but wherever the prince was going to pass, the bandits and robbers were all swept away. If there is a large-scale ambush, the emperor will investigate this matter thoroughly, and the impact will be different, naturally the other party will not dare to do this, so the head of the family only sent two hundred Ye family troops to accompany him, if he is vigilant, the enemy will not be worried. ”
The other party gave a very thorough analysis, the key of which is understandable at a glance.
However, most of the Ye Jiajun who accompanied him were blushing at the moment, and it was precisely because they were not vigilant enough that they fell in love with Lei Feng's way.
Two hundred people, stunned at the same time, have no resistance, and let others slaughter! Fortunately, the Lord of the Prison Army was desperate to protect the honor of the Ye Family!
At this time, Ye Jiajun, who accompanied him, looked at Liu An with gratitude at the same time.
For soldiers, death may not be terrible, but losing honor is more uncomfortable than death.
"Report! General, something is wrong! ”
Just when Liu An wanted to know about the situation at the border pass, a small soldier came from the direction of the border pass, as if there was something important!
