The cavalry rushed into the escort team resting by the campfire like a whirlwind, these people were just men from the carriage and horse shop, and the people of the dart bureau were invited, and their ability was limited to dealing with the robbery, and they could only wait for death when they encountered this kind of regular cavalry.

Sure enough, the cavalry's slashing was unusually ferocious, and at first glance, they were rushing to extinguish the mouth. "Why do the party members? Are the party members crazy! The young man who was discussing the pros and cons of the Great Wall asked in a trembling voice at the middle-aged man beside him, who was his master and had been following him since he entered the carriage shop, and they were hiding in a carriage at this time.

This is the first time he has followed the team to escort the goods, and the master who wanted to come out before refused on the grounds that he was too tender to endure hardship, this time I thought it was an easy job, and the master reluctantly agreed to him to come out, who knew that this first time out of the experience became the last time.

"Boy, this is not a party member, this is the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou! We've been betrayed! ”

"What, the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou, why did the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou beat us?" The young man didn't understand it very much, he seemed to have heard that the owner of this cargo was a senior official in Lingzhou, so there was no reason to rob his own things.

"You don't understand, you don't understand. This is a fight between the gods, and we fish and shrimp will suffer, this time it seems that our two masters will inevitably die, will you blame the master for bringing you. "The middle-aged man seems to be very open, it is impossible for this troubled world to guarantee a safe journey, and there will always be all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, this time they are in big trouble.

"Master, no, boy, I came out voluntarily, no wonder others."

The middle-aged man looked at the apprentice and smiled with satisfaction, the slashing and screaming outside gradually stopped, and the corpses scattered all over the place were scattered on the edge of the bonfire, and the continuous flickering fire light shone on these corpses that were still alive just now, and the blood had stained the ground red.

It was quiet outside, only the war horse was still snorting, and the young man finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stretched out a hand, wanting to open the curtain to check the situation outside.

Suddenly, his hand was grabbed, and the middle-aged man stretched out a finger and put it to his lips, "Shhhh Silence, here they come. ”

Sure enough, after those people killed all the people outside, they came to check the situation inside the carriage. "Haha, what the second son said is really right, this batch of goods is really rich." The accent is from Lingzhou, and he is not a party member.

"Well, hurry up and check the inside of the carriage, and leave no room alive!"

"Order!"

It's not a horse thief or robber, it's completely an army style, just like the middle-aged man said, this matter is not simple, it involves the struggle between the high-level leaders of Lingzhou.

A group of cavalry, about fifty or so, had already divided to search the carriages, and the master and apprentice were leaning on the salt packets. As if he had resigned himself to his fate, the master closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and hummed a minor tune that he didn't know the content of. The apprentice was more anxious, and kept lifting the curtain to look at the approaching soldiers outside.

Just when the apprentice wanted to pull the master out of the carriage once, suddenly a hand stretched out from the salt bag and grabbed the corner of the apprentice's clothes. This hand that suddenly appeared was Wang Jin, who had been bumping in the carriage for so long and finally discovered the secret of the carriage. There is a dark compartment under the carriage, and the space is not small, and more importantly, the hidden compartment in this car is only loaded with one piece of goods, it is a small wooden box, you don't have to think about it, you know that the things contained in this wooden box must be of extraordinary value, but it is more difficult to open this box, and Wang Jin has no tools to do it.

Obviously, this secret is only known to the leader of the convoy, and there are no such escort minions at all. Otherwise, the two of them would have hid in it a long time ago.

The master and apprentice were taken aback at first, and in a blink of an eye, they saw a person crawling out of the salt bag, with strange hair and a very bloated body, and he couldn't figure out the situation at once.

"Hide in, don't look at it!" Wang Jin didn't talk nonsense, and directly let the two of them come in quickly.

This is an extraordinary time, and no amount of doubt will have to wait until the danger has passed. The master and apprentice opened the salt bag and hid it with a shrunken head. Originally, when Wang Jin was hiding alone, he was very comfortable, but after adding these two people, it became extremely crowded, and the bodies of the three of them were tightly together, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

Soon, the people who checked the carriage came in, but strangely, they only took a cursory look and left, without carefully checking the specific contents of the goods, apparently they knew the details of the goods.

The cavalry just left, not touching the cargo at all.

The three of them stayed in for a quarter of an hour, and finally couldn't stand the feeling of suffocation, and finally the apprentice came out first to check the situation. After determining that there was no one, Wang Jin and the middle-aged people climbed out in turn.

The corpses were gone, the bonfire had been filled in, and all traces of human activity had been erased, a typical sign of corpse destruction, and even if you wanted to, you couldn't find anything.

The middle-aged man has been staring at Wang Jin for a long time since he came out. Wang Jin didn't care, just observed the situation near the person.

"Could this strong man be Wang Jin?" The middle-aged man finally spoke, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Jin had changed too much from before, he would have guessed it a long time ago. Hiding in the convoy, coming out of Lingzhou, and contacting what happened recently, Wang Jin's identity is easy to guess.

"Yes, I'm Wang Jin." He didn't hide anything and just admitted it.

"What, you are Wang Jin who killed Han Wei, and you are actually hiding in the carriage!"

The apprentice was very surprised, Wang Jin was already a household name in Lingzhou City, and there were sea fishing documents with his portrait posted everywhere, and no one could have imagined that he was hiding here.

"What, do you want to catch me and go back to receive my reward?" Wang Jin looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him and asked with a smile, he was not worried about what the two of them thought at all, these two people were just ordinary chariot and horse dealers, they might have a lot of strength, and it was not enough to talk about fighting.

"No, no, you misunderstood, my master and apprentice just admired what the strong man did, and today I saw that he was really a hero. It is a blessing for the strong man to get rid of Han Wei in Lingzhou, Han Wei has bullied the people in Lingzhou all these years, and in the fish and meat township, the people of Pingtou dare not speak out. Besides, the strong man also saved my master and apprentice, and this trip also suffered a tragic accident, and only the two of us went back to a dead end, how could I think it would be bad for the strong man! ”

Wang Jin nodded slightly, not caring about what the middle-aged man said.

"Let me introduce, this is a contemptible and inferior criminal, calling Luo Ermeng, with some strength. The contemptible Chen Feng is an old buddy of this carriage and horse dealership. ”

"Alright." Wang Jin didn't have the heart to ask him these questions, and he agreed with Li Zhuzi that he would return to Yanzhou except for Lingzhou. But it seems that Yanzhou can't go, this is the territory of the party people, if you want to go to Yanzhou, you have to go through Lingzhou, now passing through Lingzhou is almost like looking for death, Hedong Li Cunqiao is also a good choice, at least he has a few connections with Liu Yizhou, and it is no problem to get an errand in the army.

"Which of you has been to Jinyang?" Wang Jin heard that they were chariot and horse shopkeepers, looked at them and asked.

"I've been there, and some goods will also be transported to Jinyang."

"Okay, you lead the way, let's go to Jinyang, rest for one night tonight, and set off tomorrow." Wang Jin immediately decided.

The master and apprentice don't have any opinions, and if they do, they won't put them forward.

"By the way, the cavalry you said are the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou, what's going on?" Wang Jin suddenly became interested in this question, the cavalry just now was actually from Lingzhou, and this is the territory of the party members!

"I guess it's the struggle between the eldest prince and the second son, the second prince probably bought off the people here in Youzhou, and proudly let the second son's men in, just to hit the prestige of the eldest son, and this action was decided by the eldest prince privately, and if something goes wrong, the eldest prince will naturally be held responsible."

The second son of the eldest prince is talking about Han Xun's two sons, and for the sake of the position of the envoy, the two brothers want to kill each other.

Wang Jin lost interest for an instant, waved his hand and asked the two to find a place to rest, while he leaned on the wheels of the carriage and thought about the way out in the future.

After the Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world completely fell into a state of hegemony. Just like in the late Han Dynasty, these warlords all started in a similar way. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, I didn't know how many road jiedu envoys crusaded against Huangchao, and after the crusade, they were naturally added to the official ranks, and they were all happy, of course, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty could no longer command them.

The Tang Dynasty was well known for its openness and tolerance, especially in dealing with nomads. Both the Turks and the Western Regions had people who served in the imperial court or in the army, and they held positions of high status.

Since the Tuoba clan of the party attacked Huangchao, he has been rewarded heavily, not only given the surname Li, but also appointed as the envoy of the Dingyan Army, and his status in the northwest is also transcendent. However, although the Tuoba clan is relatively sinicized, it is always a foreign race, and it will not be very sincere to the Tang family at all, and it was ready to divide one side from the beginning.

The current envoy of the Dingyan Army is already the emperor of the soil, and there used to be a nominal Tang family allegiance, but the Tang Dynasty fell, and the last bit of restraint on his body immediately dissipated.

…………

Early in the morning, the three of them untied the horses from the carriage, brought enough food, and under the leadership of Chen Feng, went to the east of the river. That is Zhu Wen's enemy, and according to Wang Jin's understanding, a big war will break out between Hedong and Houliang next year, and then the situation in the world will be completely reversed.

In the morning, the newborn sun was like a golden disk, and the warm and warm sunlight shone on Wang Jin's already somewhat vicissitudes of life, exuding a strange light, and a group of three people walked on the desolate official road in the northwest, all the way to the north.
