In front of a dilapidated alley in Lirenfang, Luoyang, a carriage slowly stopped, the door opened, and a thin and withered middle-aged man with a burnt yellow goatee walked out, who was Yu Wenshu's henchman Xu Yin.

Xu Yin was expressionless, and walked directly into the alley, until he came to the end, he knocked on the door, the door opened a crack, and Xu Yin flashed into the courtyard.

"How is he?" Xu Yin asked.

In the courtyard, a stout man bowed down and saluted: "Mr. Huiyu, he was a little restless, and wanted to leave several times, but he was stopped by his humble position. ”

"Looks like I'm going to have to talk to him." Xu Yin sneered and walked quickly to the backyard.

In a room in the backyard, a man sits on a bed, clenching his fists, looking worried.

This man is about thirty years old, of medium height, but very strong, with a square face, dark skin, a kind of military majesty in his eyebrows, but a kind of businessman's cunning in his eyes, this person is Li Shanheng, who escaped from Yu Wenzhi and exterminated his mouth last night.

Li Shanheng only had monstrous anger in his heart, he gave up his high-ranking military position to do things for Yuwenshu, Yuwenshu not only promoted himself to general as promised, but also wanted to kill people and kill people, if he didn't keep an eye on himself and let his subordinates pretend to be himself to meet, he would have died in Yuwenzhi's hands at this time.

His official position and future are gone, and he has deceived hundreds of generals who trust him, so that he has fallen from a victorious general who returned from meritorious service to what he is now, a rat hiding in a corner, terrified all day long, which makes Li Shanheng's heart full of bitter hatred for Yu Wenshu.

At this time, the door creaked open, Xu Yin walked in from outside, and Li Shanheng hurriedly stood up, "Sir, where is my family?" ”

He went to pick up his wife and son last night, but found that his family had disappeared and was picked up first, and he suspected that his family had fallen into the hands of Xu Yin.

Xu Yin smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry! I have moved them to a safe place, and I guarantee that Yuwenshu will never find him. ”

Li Shanheng sighed in his heart, his wife and children really fell into Xu Yin's hands, and he slowly sat down again. He glanced at Xu Yin deeply and asked puzzledly, "Why did Mr. do this?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Xu Yin looked at him, "Are you saying that I betrayed Yuwenshu?" ”

Li Shanheng nodded, he was really puzzled, Xu Yin was Yu Wenshu's confidant and strategist. In the end, he actually betrayed Yuwenshu and hid himself, why did he do this?

Xu Yin smiled faintly, "I don't think you should be confused, if you were me, what would you do?" ”

Li Shanheng understood what Xu Yin meant, he sighed and said: "Mr. is right, I am so loyal to him, but he wants to kill me in the end, Mr. knows that he has so many secrets, how can he let Mr. go in the future." With Yuwenshu's ruthlessness and viciousness, the people who do things for him will die at his hands sooner or later. ”

Xu Yin is not entirely for this reason, he hides Li Shanheng, and has deeper intentions, he just smiled, and agreed with Li Shanheng's feelings.

"What does that gentleman want me to do?"

Xu Yin hid Li Shanheng, of course, to make good use of him, but it was not yet time, and he needed to wait a little longer.

"You can stay here for a few days, and let me observe how the situation changes. In short, if you want to win back your future, then you can only listen to my arrangement and your family."

Xu Yin looked at him coldly. "Yuwenshu is now crazy looking for you and your family, I hope you will think about their safety and stop doing stupid things!"

Li Shanheng bit his lip tightly, lowered his head and said nothing, he didn't believe Xu Yin at all, but his wife and children were in Xu Yin's hands. so that he had to obey Xu Yin's arrangement.

Xu Yin also knew this, so he was not afraid that Li Shanheng would run away, nor was he worried that Li Shanheng would not listen to him, he glanced at Li Shanheng again, turned around and left the room.

Li Shanheng lay on the bed weakly, staring blankly at the roof, what should he do now?

Zhang Xuan returned to the barracks immediately after leaving the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, although it was extremely important to find Li Shanheng, but at the moment he still had some burning eyebrows to deal with.

When Zhang Xuan arrived at the camp, he happened to meet Zhou Fashang coming back with a heavy heart, Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and asked in a low voice, "General, how is the situation?" ”

Zhou Fashang smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zhang Xuan was shocked, "Is the situation very bad?" ”

"Alas! Let's go back to the big tent! ”

Zhou Fashang returned to the big tent, he sat down and drank a few sips of water, and then said to Zhang Xuan: "The matter of moving the camp can be delayed for a few days, Zhang Jin has obtained the consent of the saint, let us reorganize the army within three days, this is the best news, the rest is bad news, Yu Shiji insisted on disbanding the army, saying that our army has already shown signs of rebellion, it is very dangerous, and the saint seems to have been moved by him." ”

"Does that include my men?" Jang Hyun asked nervously.

Zhou Fashang nodded gloomily, "Not only your subordinates, but all the troops who participated in the Battle of Goguryeo must be disbanded and returned to the peasants, of course, the generals above the rank of captain do not need to be disbanded, they will be resettled, and you may get a little reward because of your merit in pacifying the army." ”

"What about the generals and the generals?" Jang Hyun took a deep breath and asked.

Zhou Fashang shook his head, "The Holy One refuses to see me, I guess this is the attitude of the Holy One, I am not allowed to intercede for them, I estimate that they are more auspicious." ”

Sure enough, he was said by Pei Ju, Zhang Xuan was in a very heavy mood, if Lai Hu'er and other generals really couldn't keep it, then he had no choice.

But his bottom line is to keep his army, but the news brought by Zhou Fashang seems to be almost impossible to keep his bottom line.

Zhou Fashang sighed and said: "I found an acquaintance from the military department today, and I learned that we have made great achievements in Goguryeo, which has attracted the jealousy of many people in the court, and there is a force in the court that is secretly opposing us, and the demand for the disbandment of our army is by no means a dissent that has only appeared now, but it is just at the right time, and Yu Shiji is one of these forces." ”

"Don't you have a chance?" Zhang Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"It's hard! Now there are almost no voices in the court to support us, and some of those who originally sympathized with us have also been silenced because of the events of last night, and we can only rely on ourselves. ”

Zhou Fashang patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder, "You'd better find a way to find His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, they really had no choice.

．．．．．．．

Luoyang Wei Yunqi is about forty years old, born in the Wei family of the famous family in Guanzhong, he once went to the Turks alone to borrow 20,000 troops to quell the Khitan rebellion during the opening of the emperor's reign, and won the praise of Emperor Wen of Sui. It was sealed as the imperial history of the Zhizhong Servant.

But because he was upright and selfless, he offended many powerful people in the DPRK and China, after Yang Guang ascended the throne. Wei Yunqi was gradually left out in the cold.

Eight years ago, he was demoted to Zhangye County as the lieutenant of Shandan County because he angered the Son of Heaven Yang Guang because of his outspoken admonition, but fortunately, his old boss Pei Ju valued him very much and interceded for him until three years ago when he was transferred back to Luoyang and served as the lieutenant of Luoyang.

In the evening, Zhang Xuan found the Wei house in Fushanfang, Wei Yunqi's home is not big, it is a half-old mansion covering an area of about two acres, his son is studying in Taixue, his daughter is married, only he and his wife live in an empty house.

Of course, Wei Yunqi is Luoyang Lieutenant after all, and he comes from a famous family, and he also has a few old servants and two maids in his house.

Zhang Xuan was invited into the study by Wei Yunqi. The two sat down separately, and under the light, Zhang Xuan saw Wei Yunqi's appearance clearly, perhaps because of his long-term service in Hexi, his skin was very dark, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his sideburns were slightly white, but his eyes were very deep, flashing with a wise brilliance.

Zhang Xuan nodded secretly, no wonder Pei Ju valued Wei Yunqi very much. He has an extraordinary momentum, but unfortunately he has been suppressed for a long time and it is difficult to get the opportunity to display his ambitions.

Wei Yunqi was also surprised in his heart, this was the first time in three years that Pei Ju had asked people to take his jade pendant to him for help. And he also heard his boss Li Gang talk about Zhang Xuan more than once, who is righteous, brave and responsible, and a young man who can do great things.

Wei Yunqi secretly looked at Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan's first impression on him was uprightness, as the saying goes, people can be judged by their appearance. has a good appearance and clear eyes, and his character is not much worse, not to mention that he has also heard of some of Zhang Xuan's deeds.

"How does General Zhang need my help?" Wei Yunqi asked.

"I need Wei Yuanjun to find someone for me."

Zhang Xuan told him in detail about Li Shanheng's situation, and finally he was very worried: "The problem now is that I don't know whether Li Shanheng is dead or alive, if he has been killed, then there is no hope at all, I implore Wei Yuanjun to try his best to help us." ”

"Don't worry! I will definitely do my best. ”

Wei Yunqi smiled and said: "Although it is really difficult to find someone in Luoyang, there is also a way, from the official point of view, it is to carefully investigate the clues of all Li Shanheng's relatives and friends, find his most likely foothold, and then secretly observe, this is one, in fact, it is to use the relationship between the nine streams in Luoyang to let them assist in the search, sometimes they are very effective in finding people, as for General Zhang worried that Li Shanheng will be killed, I think it is unlikely." ”

"How so?" Jaung Hyun asked puzzled.

"General Zhang also said just now, he is the only person who escaped the net in the incident of closing the door, it can be seen from this small incident that this person is very shrewd and will never let himself be in danger, how can such a person be exterminated, I believe he must be hiding somewhere at this time."

Zhang Xuan nodded, Wei Yunqi's analysis was very correct, the possibility of Li Shanheng being killed is indeed very small, perhaps because of the chaos of concern, he has always been worried that Li Shanheng will be killed, and now Wei Yunqi reminded him as an outsider, which made him have another glimmer of hope in his heart.

Wei Yunqi added with a smile: "Li Shanheng is a high-ranking officer in the army, he must have been promised better to destroy his future, if he does not get the compensation he deserves, how can he be willing to leave Luoyang, so I deduce that either the powerful will hide him, or he is hiding somewhere alone, the former, I will use the official clues to find, and the latter I will use the power of the lower nine streams to find, two-pronged, I believe that clues will be found within a few days." ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you Wei Envoy Jun for your help, if Wei Envoy Jun needs manpower, I can send a team of soldiers to assist." ”

Wei Yunqi thought about it, he really needs some manpower, although there are a lot of officials under him, but there are many people, he is afraid that he will reveal the news, Zhang Xuan's soldiers are of course the best, Wei Yunqi smiled happily: "If there is the help of General Zhang's soldiers, I think it will be more effective." ”

"Good! I'll arrange it when I get back. ”

He glanced at Wei Yunqi's slightly impoverished room, and said with a smile: "It won't add a burden to Wei Envoy!" ”
