As soon as Zhang Xing's voice fell, Fang Ruoxu looked up to the sky and shouted: "Wronged, wronged, we didn't plot to assassinate Lord Yang, let alone confess......"

Zhang Xingyi arched his hand: "Zhang is also official, please forgive me!" ”

Bu Yunfei nodded: "Understand, otherwise, how would that Lord Du explain to Yang Guozhong!" ”

Bu Yunfei was a little surprised in his heart, but he was not surprised. These days have been very calm and excessively calm.

If Du Qianyun captures the assassin, he will inevitably interrogate Bu Yunfei and the three of them for identification. The fact that Du Qianyun has not been questioned or tried for a month shows that there has been no progress in Du Qianyun's investigation. It is likely that in order to give a mission to the top, he had no choice but to kill Bu Yunfei and the three as assassins. Moreover, this matter cannot be done publicly, so it can only be done on a dark and windy night to hide people's eyes.

Fang Ruo howled and cried: "Du Qianyunguan avenges personal revenge!" ”

Ba Yegu arched his hand at Zhang Xing: "Zhang Xing, Lao Tzu will come to you again in the next life to compete!" ”

"Well said!" Zhang Xing waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed into the cell, tied up Bu Yunfei and the three of them, and set them out of the cell.

In the courtyard outside the cell, a group of soldiers guarded the courtyard, each holding a torch in one hand and pressing the handle of the knife on his waist with the other, these soldiers were tall and large, sturdy, and in a neat formation, they were wearing black infantry armor, the armor was a little worn, but it was faintly full of the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield, like a team of elite divisions that had experienced a hundred battles!

"Elite soldiers!" Bayegu was beside Bu Yunfei and let out a sigh of admiration.

Bu Yunfei also nodded slightly, surprised in his heart, in terms of formation and attire, they should not be the Divine Army. As one of the six armies of the forbidden army, the Shence Army is equipped with brightly colored fine-scale armor. And these soldiers are wearing infantry armor, which is not as bright as fine-scale armor, and the defensive performance is also very poor, but it is the standard configuration of the Datang border guards. And the physique of this team of soldiers is far higher than that of the Shence Army, and there are even many purple-haired and blue-eyed Hu people in the team!

"Could it be Shuo Fangjun?" Fang Ruoxu also saw the name and asked in a low voice.

The Datang Frontier Army was assembled under the ten major Jiedu envoys in the country, among them, the Shuofang Jiedu under the Shuofang Jiedu in Lingzhou was the most elite. The task of the Shuofang Jiedu envoy is to defend against the Turks, the fierce enemy of the Tang Dynasty, although the Shuofang army is not the largest, but the combat effectiveness is the strongest, the famous general Wang Zhongsi once served as the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, under his command, the Shuofang army has become a formidable and formidable armed force in the Western Regions. Famous generals in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangming, and Pugu Huaien, were all born in the Shuofang army.

"Kill the three of us, do you need the Shuo Fang Army?" Banoko shook his head.

In the sky, the north wind was howling, the snow was dancing, and Buyunfei couldn't help but shiver, but those soldiers did not move in the cold wind.

Under the firelight, stood a general dressed in bright light armor.

Zhang Xing clasped his fists at the general and saluted: "General Li, bring the prisoners!" ”

The general surnamed Li had a dark face, a tall figure, a sword in his hand, and a long tassel on his iron helmet fluttering in the cold wind, and nodded at Zhang Xing: "Mr. Zhang's hard work" said, with a wave of his hand, a soldier in infantry armor walked over, and from behind Zhang Xing, took over the three of Bu Yunfei.

The general said to Zhang Xing: "Farewell." He turned and walked away. This group of soldiers escorted Bu Yunfei and the three of them, followed the general, and went out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, there was a row of prisoner carts parked, and the soldiers opened a prisoner cart and pushed Bu Yunfei and the three of them inside.

The general, surnamed Li, stepped on his horse, and the soldiers escorted the prisoner cart and braved the wind and snow to leave.

The wind was biting, the snow was flying, and the prisoner cart was slowly moving forward on the deserted street.

Soldiers in black infantry armor, holding torches, followed the prisoner cart. Only then did Bu Yunfei notice that there were about 20 prisoner carts in this team, each of which contained seven or eight prisoners, with a total of more than 150 prisoners.

"It's also lively for so many people to kill their heads together!" Bano Gu said in a rough voice.

Fang Ruoxu wiped away the ice edge hanging in the corner of his eye, which was his tears, and let out a long sigh: "I miss my Fang Ruoxu, I have been familiar with reading scriptures since I was a child, learning through the past and the present, and I want to learn literature and martial arts, and the goods and the emperor's family, but I ended up like this, I pity my old mother and wife, and I am still leaning on the door thousands of miles away and looking forward to my return!" That's it, it's all fate! Squatting in the corner of the prisoner cart, he didn't say anything again.

Bu Yunfei was puzzled. If Du Qianyun wanted to kill the three of them and give Yang Guozhong an errand, he could only keep it secret. Execution, how can it be so exciting, if the news leaks, then Du Qianyun will not be guilty of bullying! Moreover, winter was not the season for the execution of prisoners, and the law of the Tang Dynasty adhered to the unity of heaven and man, the so-called spring is born and autumn is killed, and summer is harvested in winter. These more than 100 death row inmates are concentrated in the winter execution, and if this rushes the national fortune, no one can afford it! The people of Si Tianjian must not agree!

What's more, the escorted people and horses are neither the forbidden army in the capital nor the people of the Chang'an County Ya, looking at it like this, it is obviously a border army!

Thinking of the border army, Bu Yunfei was even more puzzled. The border army is stationed in the ten towns of Jiedu, and if there is no edict from the emperor, they cannot enter Beijing, let alone participate in the local administration of the capital, including the execution of criminals, which is tantamount to interfering in the affairs of the capital.

During the Tianbao years, the Jiedu envoys who mastered the border army had already shown the signs of becoming bigger, and they were flying in their own jurisdiction, getting on the horse to manage the army, and getting off the horse to manage the people, as if they were the emperor of a land. However, although the emperor is old, Yu Wei is still there, and the envoys of the festival do not dare to openly make a big presence in the capital.

Braving the wind and snow, the convoy traveled along Suzaku Avenue all the way to the east. It was freezing cold, and the streets were empty of pedestrians. Only encountered a group of officers and soldiers patrolling the night, stopped the convoy, and the general who walked in front of the convoy negotiated a few words with the officers and soldiers of the night patrol, and the officers and soldiers quickly let them go.

This made Bu Yunfei even more surprised - the border army was unimpeded in Chang'an City!

Could it be that there was a palace coup?

However, if the border army entered the city to launch a coup d'état, Chang'an City would have been in chaos long ago. But now it seems that Chang'an in the night is peaceful, only the north wind is howling.

Soon, the convoy came to Yanxing Gate in the east of Chang'an City.

By this time, it was late at night, and the city gates had already been closed.

However, when the convoy arrived at the Yanxing Gate, the city gate opened silently.

In the city gate hole, a group of lanterns are hung to illuminate the city gate hole. The generals and soldiers guarding the gate actually stood in line on both sides of the road, saluting the convoy!

Ba Yegu leaned against the wooden fence of the prisoner car, and got drunk, this rough man didn't take the killing seriously at all.

The convoy exited Yanxingmen and walked about twenty miles east into a market town.

"Big brother, it's not like a head-killing!" Fang Ruoxu also saw the clue, leaned next to Bu Yunfei and said, "This is to Yangliupu." ”

Only a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, Fang Ruoxu was whipped on the head, and a captain who followed the prisoner car shouted: "Silence! ”

Fang Ruoxu covered his head, endured the pain, and didn't dare to speak out again.
