At night, the eldest grandson was woken up by the sound of a neighing horse. Wang Tie Dan already held the knife he had been carrying in his hand and stood about two feet behind the door. Zhang Zhong looked out of the small window that he took out of the earthen wall, his face was reflected by the light of the torch, if he didn't know Zhang Zhong's details, he would have thought that he was a master of flying eaves and walls.

The eldest grandson walked to the "window" and, with a torch, found that more than 20 soldiers had surrounded the courtyard and were tearing down the fence, and a leader was directing everyone to pile the dismantled fence to the wall.

"The people inside came out, and after counting ten, they began to light a fire. The leader of the "Ten ......" was hidden behind the torches, and he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, but the eldest grandson knew that it should not be a bandit, and according to the style, it could be basically concluded that it was an official army, but he didn't know if it was a government soldier or not.

The door opened, and the owner's family of three walked out, kneeling on the ground, and his head touched the ground.

"Nine...... The "eight......" report continued, and it was clear that these people knew everything about the situation in the house.

The three of them walked out, and Zhang Zhong handed over the waist card of the eldest grandson: "We belong to the eldest grandson's family, passing by here, missing the inn, and staying here." I don't know the general's surname? ”

"Don't dare, I'm just the head of the Zhichong Mansion here, and I'm here to cooperate with the army to encircle and suppress the bandits." Hearing the words "eldest grandson's family", after carefully checking the waist card, he was much more polite to the three of them, without too much interrogation and entanglement, but he did not let them leave.

The three were "protected" by five people, returned to the official road, and continued to move forward.

About an hour or so, there was a camp in the open space next to the official road, there were not many people in the camp, but the wall was heavily guarded. Along the way, Zhang Zhong touched the dust of his nose several times, so Changsun Tang still didn't know what was going on.

Five men entered the camp with three men, and went to the left, one entered the camp tent, and the three had to wait outside the tent.

Not long after, a big man about 1.8 meters old came out of the camp gate, and said as he walked: "But the sixth brother? ”

The eldest grandson wondered when I had known such a bold lord, but I didn't understand the situation, so it was not easy to talk casually. As a member of the Guanlong Group, the eldest grandson's family, especially under the protection of the two backbones, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Shunde, is also quite flourishing.

The person who came took the hand of the eldest grandson, and said familiarly: "Sixth brother, I am a side branch of the eldest grandson's family, my father is dedicated, and he is mainly responsible for the family's several shops in Wannian, but my eldest grandson Xu can't understand those Lao Shizi, and his father is half angry, so he threw me to Zhechong Mansion, and I am nameless and angry, I saw you from afar at the door when I visited my uncle last year." ”

As soon as he said this, the eldest grandson naturally understood, but it also caused his own shock, none of these families had a good number, and they usually felt that their father, as the head of the household, was in charge of the money bag of the Tang Dynasty, so the family had some status, but now it seems that it may not be the case.

"Oh, that little brother was clumsy when he arrived, and he didn't recognize Brother Xu, and he hoped to forgive his sins."

"Hey, you scholars speak beautifully, and you are crepe, unlike us who are coarse and full of recklessness."

Changsun Xu couldn't continue to talk, and originally wanted to inquire about tonight's events, but Changsun Xu obviously didn't plan to reveal it, so he paused.

At this time, a soldier came over quickly, and said something to Changsun Xu, who politely said goodbye, and ordered several soldiers to take the three to a rather spacious tent.

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, the eldest grandson, who had not slept all night, tried to walk around, but was stopped by the guards outside the account, under the pretext of preventing an assassin from sneaking into the barracks last night and injuring Gongzi Yunyun.

Everyone pays attention to such an excuse, which is basically expected by the eldest grandson. Last night, Changsun Xu said that he knew Yunyun, and Changsun Yu didn't believe it very much, in the past six years, he had not been out of the door for the first three years of filial piety, and the last three years were basically soaked in arithmetic, and he had no status and influence in the eldest grandson's family at all. But Changsun Xu can't directly say that he doesn't know, in this era, the family first considers the 10,000-year inheritance of his family, as for the concept of the country and the nation, it is not terrible for a family to suffer, what is terrible is the breaking of the inheritance and the humiliation of the lintel.

Changsun Tang has a rough idea of what happened last night, it should be that the bandits suppressed in the previous month or so did not achieve their goal, and now take advantage of the bandits' laxity to kill a horse gun, after all, this is a very important road, and it also belongs to the category of Gyeonggi Heavy Land.

As for the one that stayed overnight, if you look at the place far from the village establishment, you will know that there are some problems, nine times out of ten it is the eyeliner set by the bandits, of course, the possibility of a black store cannot be ruled out.

Changsun Tang thought about it all night, repeatedly considered those details, and found a few unreasonable places, but this was basically based on the fact that it was speculated afterwards, although there were doubts at the time, it did not cause too much suspicion, which also sounded a wake-up call to Changsun Tang, there is no doubt that this is one of the best times of public security in ancient China, but even this kind of robbery can not be completely eliminated, remember to have a few more eyes in the future.

A trace of doubt but also quietly climbed into his heart, when he got up last night, he found that Wang Tie was holding a steel knife and neatly guarding the door, could it be that he found some clues and prepared in advance.

In the midst of his thoughts, the guards had already made water and prepared breakfast, and there was no sound of cooking in the camp, which must have been specially made. It seems that the signboard in the eldest grandson's house is quite easy to use, and the unknown identity has such a big face, the eldest grandson laughed at himself.

Not long after breakfast, Changsun Xu hurried over. The notice said that because of the suppression of bandits, the plank road is not very safe, and several government soldiers from Zhichong Mansion are checking and encircling the eyeliner of those bandits and some fish that have slipped through the net, so I hope that the eldest grandson and a few people will not act without authorization, so as to avoid any accidents. In addition, at noon, the big battalion here will go to the camp to suppress the bandits, hoping that the three of Changsun Tang can follow the action. The eldest grandson didn't say anything, but just agreed.

The camp was agitated, but tightly organized, and after about half an hour, there was no sign of the camp except for a mess. The three of them moved slowly with the army, and the two horses were also "borrowed" by Changsun Xu on the grounds that it was convenient to feed. The three of them walked at the end of the line with the baggage battalion.

At the front of the line, a conversation is taking place.

"General, is it good to treat the sixth prince like this?"

"There's no problem, you don't know the Tao here." The person who spoke was none other than Changsun Xu.

"I see, their way of coming is a little weird. In order to exterminate this group of bandits, we did a scene before, and this time we have blocked the plank road for five days, but they swaggered into the eyes of the bandits, and the one-armed guard with them knew that they saw a lot of blood. But if it's true, we offended them this time, but the general is not easy to explain. ”

"It's okay, take a step back, if he is true, we also protect him this time, even if he doesn't admit it, I'm not afraid of him. I know the son-in-law of the eldest grandson's family, and I don't have the name of the eldest grandson, but I am not afraid of being a concubine. Over the years, my father and I have also made contributions to the family, but a concubine is not worth the family's troubles. Judging from his performance last night and this morning, he is also a clear person, and he will not make trouble for such a trivial matter. By the way, if you tell them to go down, in addition to not being able to move freely, be respectful to them, and you still need to save face. ”

"Yes, General. I'll take care of it. The youngster turned away.
