Zhaozhou, Pingthorn.

The morning sun rises over the horizon and the sun shines on the earth.

The sky over the ancient county town is now full of war clouds. The weapons refracted the sunlight and turned into cold light beating on the mottled walls of the city. Groups of Turkic soldiers and horses lined up outside the city, solemn and quiet, making people feel inexplicably panicked.

Yang Rui followed behind Gao Rui and climbed the city tower.

He still hasn't figured out what the situation is, how did he become the personal follower of Zhaozhou's assassin history in a blink of an eye?

Yesterday, he and Yang Jasmine were so hungry that they secretly cried in the cave of the hidden soldiers, not wanting to be discovered by the assassin Shi Gaorui, who was patrolling the city defense. Under questioning, Gao Rui was also surprised to learn that Yang Rui and Yang Jasmine were only thirteen years old.

Because according to Tang Law, Yang Rui and Yang Jasmine just happened to be middle-aged men, and they were not considered Ding at all.

The two thirteen-year-old children were forcibly conscripted, which also made Gao Rui very dissatisfied.

Later, Gao Rui learned that Yang Rui was going to Xingyang to find someone, and Zheng Lingzhi, who they were looking for, actually knew Gao Rui. Zheng Lingzhi is Yang Shouwen's uncle. Gao Rui immediately realized that these two children came from an extraordinary background.

Gao Rui is a native of Yongzhou and belongs to the Guanlong aristocracy.

The Xingyang Zheng family is an old family, and in terms of prestige and heritage, it is far from being comparable to the Yongzhou Gao family.

The Gao family and the Zheng family also have a good relationship, but it is not Gao Rui. But with this relationship, it is enough for Gao Rui to take more care of Yang Rui and the two. It's just that the city gate has been blocked, and Gao Rui can't let Yang Rui and them go without permission. But it doesn't seem appropriate to leave Yang Rui in the army. So Gao Rui simply took Yang Rui and the three of them as his personal entourage. He told Yang Rui that as long as the war was over, he would personally send Yang Rui and them to Xingyang to find Zheng Lingzhi.

Compared with Yang Jasmine, who is stupid and has an amazing appetite, Gao Rui prefers the smart Yang Rui.

So when he landed in the city today, he took Yang Rui with him.

"General Chen. How's it going? ”

Gao Rui climbed the gate tower of the West City and met the guard Chen Lingying.

It's just that Chen Lingying looked extremely angry, and her white face turned red.

Hearing Gao Rui's inquiry, he said angrily: "Yan Zhiwei should die." ”

"What's wrong?"

Yan Zhiwei is the nephew of Yan Liben, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, and is even favored by Wu Zetian. It is also worshiped as the official book of the three products.

In July, he accompanied Wu Yanxiu on an envoy to Black Sand City, and he should be locked up in Black Sand City at this time.

Gao Rui couldn't help but wonder, why did he suddenly talk about Yan Zhiwei?

Chen Lingying said: "Yan Zhiwei has already surrendered to the Turks, and he is even more willing to be a Turkic vanguard, and he was still talking to the last general under the city just now. ”

"Yan Zhiwei surrendered?"

Gao Rui's face changed, revealing a shocked expression.

Chen Lingying said angrily: "He was ashamed to say just now that he wanted the general to surrender, otherwise he would be killed."

The last general didn't want to pay attention, who would have thought that after the arrival of the Turkic army. He actually joined forces with the Turks to step on "Long Live Music". ”

Gao Rui frowned, and an angry look appeared on his face.

In the Tang Dynasty, popular songs.

The so-called stepping song is a combination of song and dance, which is divided into court singing and folk singing. Yan Zhiwei sang "Long Live Music", clearly treating the Turks as the imperial court. Even if Gao Rui didn't see it, he was not only ashamed of him.

Chen Lingying said: "The last general asked him, you are a spring official Shangshu." How can you surrender to the Turks and still sing here? But he replied, "Hurrah." As a last resort! The last general was very angry, Pei Huaigu could 'rather be loyal to death, not ruin the festival to survive', would rather die than surrender, and even fled back to Chang'an when the Turks sent troops to Yanzhou, why did he Yan Zhiwei 'have no choice'? ”

Pei Huaigu. The right leopard Taowei general is also the envoy who accompanied Wu Yanxiu to the Turks.

Gao Rui couldn't help but be silent when he heard it.

He and Yan Zhiwei also knew each other, and they also received Yan Zhiwei's kindness.

But at this time, he couldn't speak for Yan Zhiwei. Personal friendship is personal relationship, righteousness is righteousness, and he is very clear.

On the side, Yang Rui was silent.

He was the first person to come into contact with this level, so he was a little apprehensive.

Gao Rui walked behind the women's wall and raised his eyes to look out of the city.

The Turkic soldiers and horses were neatly lined up and the military discipline was strict, which made him feel a little worried.

"General Chen, everything in the city is ready?"

"Don't worry, don't look at them unimpeded before, in fact, they just took advantage of the surprise. Now, they no longer have the advantage of surprise soldiers, and the sons and daughters of our city have long been waiting for battle, and they will never let the Turks bargain. ”

Chen Lingying should be Gao Rui's confidant, so when he finished saying this, Gao Rui nodded again and again.

"Then I'll leave this place to you."

"Whoa!"

"I'll go to the city to inspect again, and by the way, take a look at the situation on Tang Sima's side."

Chen Lingying bowed and sent Gao Rui and his party down the city tower.

Yang Rui suddenly had an impulse, and he said softly: "Fuzun." ”

"Huh?"

"There's one thing that the kid doesn't know whether to say or not."

Gao Rui was quite kind to Yang Rui, and after hearing it, he smiled and said: "If you have something to say, what should you not do?" ”

Yang Rui took a deep breath and said, "Before the kid went to Xingyang on the order of his father, he once got a map...... Oh, to be precise, the map wasn't given to the kid, but was discovered by the brother. Does Fuzun remember Yang Jasmine? He was originally a lonely bamboo beard, because his mother was killed by an adulterer, and was later taken in by his brother and renamed Yang Jasmine.

The map was originally hidden on Jasmine's body. On the way back to Changping, his father and brother were chased and killed by the Su Mo people. ”

"Oh?"

When Gao Rui heard this, he immediately became interested.

Jiro continued.

Yang Rui plucked up his courage and continued: "It was a map of Hebei Province, and my brother and I later found out that the passes on the map were marked with numbers written in Turkic script. At first, we didn't understand what those numbers meant, until one day, after my brother heard the news that the Turks had raised an army, attacked Yanzhou, and the Jingnan army surrendered, he realized that those numbers were probably the time when the Turks used their troops. And in fact, what happened after that also proved my brother's inference. On August 20, the Flying Fox Pass was breached; On August 26, Dingzhou was breached. ”

Gao Rui shivered and immediately stopped.

"Erlang, what you said is true?"

"Seriously!"

"What about the map?"

"After my brother realized. asked his father to entrust Chen Ziang to send the map to the Youzhou Governor's Mansion in Jixian County. ”

Gao Rui gasped, and the whole person was stunned all of a sudden!

It was impossible for Yang Rui to joke about this matter, he only needed to send someone to ask Zhang Renqing afterwards to be able to confirm the news.

But if so, what does it mean?

This shows that this time the Turks sent troops. It was most likely a pre-agreed show.

But what is the purpose of this show? Gao Rui's grandfather was one of the Nine Elders of Kaisui and a famous minister in history. Later generations even said that if Gao Gong did not die, the Sui Dynasty might not be defeated. It's a pity that Gao Gong stood on the wrong team, he stood in the team of the abolished prince Yang Yong, and the final result could only be one, killed by Yang Guang......

Gao Rui's family history. Since childhood, he has been familiar with Wen Taowuluo.

From Yang Rui's words, he heard a different taste, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

"Erlang, do you remember that there is Zhaozhou on the map?"

"Yes!"

"And do you remember the date?"

Yang Rui scratched his head and replied with a distressed expression: "I can't remember the date very clearly, but it must be marked." ”

That is to say, Zhao Zhou is also in this show?

Gao Rui was a little out of proportion. If Zhao Zhou is also in this show. Who is hosting this show? In his mind, several powerful figures in Zhaozhou flashed in an instant. From Tang Panruo to Chen Lingying. Faces flashed, making him feel dazed.

Who, is the spy?

Gao Rui originally wanted to continue his inspection, but after listening to Yang Rui's words, he was distracted.

"Go home!"

He immediately turned around and went straight to the palace.

And at this time. Zhaozhou Sima, who was waiting for Gao Rui to inspect at the north gate, was still standing on the city tower, waiting for Gao Rui to arrive.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Back at the mansion, Gao Rui immediately took a map of Hebei Province and asked Yang Rui to recall it as much as possible.

He wanted to figure out when Zhaozhou's show would appear. In this way, he is also better prepared. It's a pity that Yang Rui also glanced at it twice in a hurry and didn't remember it very clearly. So much so that when he looked at the map, he couldn't remember anything.

In desperation, Gao Rui had no choice but to let Yang Rui drive first.

This kind of thing is indeed a little embarrassing for Yang Rui, after all, he is only thirteen years old.

Walking out of the study of the mansion, Yang Rui suddenly felt much more relaxed.

got up early in the morning and accompanied Gao Rui to inspect the city defenses, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, he was already hungry at the moment.

Back in the courtyard where he lived, Yang Rui immediately smelled a fragrance.

"Jasmine Yang, what are you doing?"

In the corner of the small courtyard, Yang Jasmine and Song Anzheng were sneaking together and barbecuing something. The tangy aroma of meat also made Yang Rui's mouth water. He hurriedly ran over, and saw that Yang Jasmine and Song An had a bunch of work, and there was a roast chicken on it? Or maybe it's some kind of bird. The barbecue is made of the heat, and the skin is shiny and browned.

Seeing Yang Rui coming, Song An immediately said: "Young master, come on, Jasmine shot an eagle today, and she is talking about improving her life." ”

Yang Rui was not polite, and stepped forward and sat on the ground.

"It's Jasmine Yang."

"Okay, well, I know it's Yang Jasmine...... Jasmine Yang, hurry up! Is it baked? ”

"Alright, alright...... Just such a big bird, how can it be enough for three people? Ah Lang lied to Yang Jasmine, saying that Yang Jasmine could eat a full stomach. ”

Yang Rui rolled his eyes and ignored it.

You're a rice bucket, are you embarrassed? Are you embarrassed?

Along the way, that meal didn't fill you? It's just that now that I've memorized the words, haven't you seen that Young Master Ben is also hungry and faint?

Song An took the waist knife, cut off a leg, and handed it to Yang Rui.

"Whew!"

Yang Rui blew two breaths and took a bite.

"Delicious, delicious!"

It's not that Gao Rui has the intention to abuse, it's really ...... Gao Rui did not eat much, and lived a simple life, did not like luxury, and did not even invite any servants at home. So there is not much food in the house, so Yang Jasmine ate it all yesterday.

Don't say that Yang Rui didn't eat enough, he estimated that Gao Rui and his wife weren't full either.

Song An also took off a leg privately and gobbled it up.

Yang Jasmine saw that her legs were gone, and she suddenly became anxious, and took most of the barbecue meat in her hand, and she didn't feel hot, and Gaba Gaba didn't even vomit the bones.

A roasted leg fell into the stomach, and Yang Rui felt a lot more comfortable.

He suddenly remembered something: "Song An, you just said that this is an eagle?" Where did the eagle come from in this flat thorn city? (To be continued......)
