Chang'an, Yonghefang, night is coming, and the lights are on.

Yonghefang is a gathering place for the homeless, the streets and alleys are narrow and dilapidated, the buildings on both sides are low and shabby, the houses are mostly earthen walls and grass roofs, and the slightly better ones are only green bricks and small tiles, most of them are dilapidated and dilapidated, and they are ventilated on all sides.

In a thatched hut deep in the alley, an oil lamp spews faint flames in the corner of the wall, reflecting on the dilapidated loess rammed earthen wall, which looks very gloomy.

This thatched hut, from the outside, is no different from the houses in Yonghefang, the same low and shabby, the same dilapidated.

But the difference is that the walls of the thatched hut are tightly seamless, unlike other thatched huts, which have broken gaps in the walls.

Obviously, this thatched hut has been carefully renovated.

The gaps in the walls that had been formed by disrepair were all closed. Therefore, the cold wind outside did not blow into the house, and although the house was dilapidated, it was full of warmth.

Ma Sui leaned back on a chair in the corner of the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, while Li Riyue paced back and forth in the room, looking irritable.

Both of them are dressed in cotton soap clothes and felt hats, which are no different from the outfits of those street homeless people in Yonghefang, Li Riyue is an elder with the yellow beard of the Hu people in Liaodong, but he is not eye-catching, Chang'an is an international metropolis, there are many Hu people in the southeast and northwest, Yonghefang is no exception, even if it is a blonde and blue-eyed Hu person, it will not cause people to look at him twice.

Li Riyue finally stopped his irritable pace, squinted at Ma Sui, and said, "Master Ma, it's been ten days, how long are we going to hide?" ”

Ma Sui still closed his eyes and ignored Li Riyue's complaints.

"Wei Jiansu is finished, Yan Quanying has been arrested and put in prison! My Li Riyue's grievances, when will I have to get justice! ”

Ma Sui still closed his eyes, and spat out a sentence: "You are still alive!" Yan Gaoqing is dead, when will his grievances be redressed! ”

"Bu Yunfei, that bastard, he actually took refuge in An Lushan! It's just a matter of surrendering, he actually dared to openly lead his men and horses to Shaanxi County! Li Riyue scolded fiercely: "He is selling us!" ”

Ma Sui opened his eyes and looked at Li Riyue, then closed his eyes again.

Li Riyue saw that Ma Sui was silent, but he was helpless, spat and smeared, and continued his strolling.

On the same day, Ma Sui and Li Riyue, with Yan Quanying, left Cangyan Mountain and went to Chang'an.

Along the way, the threesome followed behind the An Lushan rebels, day and night, very careful, although it was a lot of hardship, fortunately, Ma Sui acted alertly, Li Riyue was quite brave, encountered some scattered stragglers, but there was no danger, every time they were able to turn evil into good fortune, the three of them successfully mixed into Tongguan and rushed to Chang'an.

Ma Sui has his own residence in Chang'an, but he is extremely cautious, he knows that Yan Quanying's current identity is the child of a traitor, and Li Riyue's identity is not much better, because of An Lushan's frame, he became the king of Tongluo who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. If the two of them reveal their secrets, they are afraid that they will not succeed in their grievances, but they will be victimized. Therefore, Ma Sui did not arrange Yan Quanying and Li Riyue to his residence, but found a small inn, settled down first, and said to the outside world that it was a merchant from Liaodong, because An Lushan rebelled, he could not return to Liaodong, so he could only stay in Chang'an City.

Ma then settled Yan Quanying and Li Riyue, and then quietly went to Gao Lishi's mansion, intending to meet Gao Lishi.

Ma Sui knew that Colliers was in a high position and had a deep scheming. Yan Gaoqing was wronged, whether Gao Lishi was willing to make a move, Ma Sui was not very sure, the reason is very simple, the starting point of Gao Lishi's actions is not to consider the so-called morality, but his own interests. If it is in the interests of Gao Lishi to overturn the case for Yan Gaoqing, there is no need for others to say more, Gao Lishi will naturally take action, if it is not in his interests, you just say that it is useless!

Still, Ma Sui plans to give it a try.

Because, Yan Gaoqing's matter involves Yang Guozhong, in this sense, it is in the interests of Colliers to overturn the case for Yan Gaoqing! What Ma Sui didn't know for sure was whether Gao Lishi was willing to openly turn his face with Yang Guozhong! After all, the Yang family is powerful, and Colliers has to take a great risk when he makes a move at this time.

What's more, Gao Lishi's identity is the emperor's minion, and with Gao Lishi's style, even if he wants to take action to avenge Yan Gaoqing, he will not come forward directly, but will find a spokesperson in the court. Before Colliers did not find a spokesperson, Li Riyue and Yan Quanying must not easily expose their identities.

However, Ma Sui was not able to meet Colliers.

Gao Lishi refused to meet Ma Sui directly, but sent someone to send a message, asking Ma Sui to send Yan Quanying to the mansion of Cheng Wei Jiansu in the imperial history, and at the same time, let people take Ma Sui and Li Riyue to a secret place in Yonghefang to live temporarily.

Ma Sui was not surprised by this result. On the contrary, I feel relieved - this shows that Colliers is ready to make a move!

He knew what Colliers was like. This is what Colliers has always done. The more important the stakes, the less Colliers will meet directly with the person involved.

At the beginning, Gao Lishi planned to assassinate An Lushan, and in all the processes, Gao Lishi did not meet directly with Ma Sui.

Now, Gao Lishi is arranged like this again, without Gao Lishi's explanation, Ma Sui also understands that Gao Lishi has made up his mind to use Yan Gaoqing's matter to set up a big game of chess - he wants to completely subvert the court controlled by Yang Guozhong!

Such a big thing can not be hasty.

As for Li Riyue's matter, it belongs to a trivial section, he was framed by An Lushan, and now that An Lushan has rebelled, the day when Li Riyue rehabilitates Zhaoxue will not be too far away, but now the court can't take care of him for the time being.

As long as Yan Gaoqing's case is overturned, Yang Guozhong falls, and Li Riyue's so-called rebellion case is just a sentence from Gao Lishi. It's just that at this juncture, Gao Lishi didn't want to make extraneous branches, so he temporarily suppressed Li Riyue's affairs and concentrated on dealing with Yang Guozhong.

In this regard, although Li Riyue was worried in his heart, he could only accept it.

According to Gao Lishi's orders, Ma Sui sent Yan Quanying to Wei Jiansu's house. He and Li Riyue hid in Yonghefang.

Yonghefang is an area in Chang'an City, and it is a place where Jiangyang thieves and market scoundrels live together. The local government also has no choice but to take this place, and in the eyes of the people, Yonghefang is a criminal paradise. No one could have imagined that the dignified Hussar General of the Tang Dynasty and the number one celebrity around the emperor, Gao Lishi, had built a secret stronghold in this mixed place.

Of course, people can't imagine that the secret stronghold of the An family's father and son is also in Yonghefang, which is probably the same as the hero's view.

The hiding place of Ma Sui and Li Riyue is an ordinary courtyard house in Yonghefang, which is no different from the surrounding dwellings when viewed from the outside, with adobe courtyard walls, dilapidated houses, and ventilation on all sides, the only difference is that although the adobe courtyard wall is old, it is neat and not broken. Ma Sui and Li Riyue stayed in this courtyard for fifteen days, and during these fifteen days, the two lived in seclusion, waiting for news from Wei Jiansu.

Colliers's plan is very strict and ambitious - with Wei Jiansu as the vanguard and Yan Gaoqing as the breakthrough point, he impeached Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye in the court. Wang Chengye is Yang Guozhong's confidant, and once Wang Chengye falls, it will be a heavy blow to Yang Guozhong. This is not only to cut off his arm, but also to inevitably arouse the suspicion of Emperor Tang Ming, who has always been suspicious, of Yang Guozhong. At this time, Ma Sui and Li Riyue were able to come forward, and Gao Lishi introduced them to testify in the court that Yang Guozhong and Wang Chengcheng colluded inside and outside the industry, so as to burn the war on Yang Guozhong's head.

The most intolerable thing for Emperor Tang Ming is the collusion between courtiers and leading generals, which will directly threaten the unification of the Tang Dynasty!

Therefore, Ma Sui and Li Riyue came forward to be the most critical blow, but this blow must be skillfully and ruthlessly! Aim for a fatal blow!

Colliers's plans are interlocking, but they are not impatient and very safe.

If this plan continues, it should be a sure win.

However, he never expected that the first move was beyond the control of Colliers, and no one expected that Wei Jiansu would be unfavorable.

In the court, Wei Jiansu was almost about to succeed. Yang Guozhong was indeed caught off guard, and under Wei Jiansu's aggressive attack, he retreated one after another. Wei Jiansu, with conclusive evidence and rigorous reasoning, almost convinced Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji that it was impossible for King Yin Chengye of Taiyuan to lead his army to Changshan to set up an ambush before An Lushan's rebels. Then, those who planned to annihilate the Luoluo River in Changshan in one fell swoop could only be Changshan Taishou Yan Gaoqing and the marching record Bu Yunfei.

However, at this critical moment, Feng Changqing, the commander of the Tianwu Army, sent a report from Shaanxi County, and Bu Yunfei led the rebel vanguard to attack Shaanxi County!

This news made Wei Jiansu, who had almost won, lose a lot.

Because Bu Yunfei invaded Shaanxi County in the name of An Lushan's vanguard guerrilla, Li Longji turned his face in court and sent Wei Jiansu to Yushitai Prison on the charge of fornicating with the rebels.

was originally going to hit Yang Guozhong by surprise, but as a result, he was bitten by a wolf instead of fighting a wolf!

Bu Yunfei suddenly appeared in Shaanxi County and became the vanguard general of An Lushan, although Ma Sui was confused, he would rather believe it!

Because, when Ma Sui left Tumen, he knew that Bu Yunfei would lead his troops to Cangyan Mountain to avoid Cai Xide's siege. Ma Sui still knows something about Cai Xide, the first general under An Lushan, he knows that this Cai Xide is not easy to deal with, Bu Yunfei led only 300 soldiers, and it is not easy to stand out from Cai Xide's encirclement. Moreover, Ma Sui also knew that although Cangyan Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was also a dungeon, and if he could not highlight the encirclement, Bu Yunfei would be more than lucky.

Once you are completely in a desperate situation, a person's choice becomes variable.

Loyalty or betrayal, in fact, is only a thought.

Ma Sui knew that Bu Yunfei was an outlier, and he didn't have the loyal thinking of the Tang Dynasty doctor. What's more, even if it is a Tang Dynasty official who has received the emperor's grace, when the matter comes, there are many people who surrender to the enemy and save their lives, not to mention a Bu Yunfei who has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, why should he be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

If Bu Yunfei really surrendered to the enemy, things would be in trouble.
