At the tail of the fleet, more than 1,000 soldiers who arrived first were stopped by the army and were not allowed to go any further, although the soldiers were tired all the way and were already exhausted, but when they saw that they wanted to see the saint, they were blocked by the soldiers, and they were also viciously spoken to each other, and they couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, waving their fists and shouting, "We want to see the saint!" Don't block the way! ”

Behind the soldiers, Yuwen Zhiji rode on a high-headed warhorse, looking at the large group of angry soldiers with contempt, although these scholars were renamed alternates, but in his eyes Yuwen Zhiji, these so-called alternates were no different from wild dogs begging on the side of the road.

"General, they are too excited, do you want to arrange for them to eat something first to calm their emotions?" A subordinate general whispered to Yuwen Zhihe and suggested.

Yuwen Zhihe snorted coldly, "Let them eat more fiercely, isn't it?" ”

The general didn't dare to say anything anymore, and Yuwen Zhihe ordered: "Block the way, whoever dares to break in will beat me, and I will be responsible for killing me!" ”

Yuwen Zhihe was not interested in accompanying these scholars to make trouble anymore, he turned his horse's head to leave, and at this moment, dozens of cavalry rushed in the distance, and the soldiers had already stopped them, "Stop, who is it?" ”

"I'm Zhang Xuan, the general of Beihai County, and I'm here to meet the driver by order!"

Yu Wenzhi turned his head suddenly, staring fiercely into the distance, only to see dozens of foreign more than two dozen cavalrymen, the leader of the general was exceptionally clear under the light of the lantern, and the road was narrow, it was Zhang Xuan, who his father had always hated.

There are only about 20 people on the other side, this is an opportunity to get rid of Zhang Xuan, Yuwen Zhi has the right to protect the monarch and investigate, and he has the right to kill the suspected assassin at the beginning, Yu Wenzhi and the murderous machine in his heart suddenly rose, and whispered to the left and right henchmen: "The origin of the cavalry in front is unknown, surround them for me!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers quickly rushed over. Zhang Xuan and more than 20 other people were surrounded, the knife was unsheathed, the spear was raised, and the killing machine burst out, and the sudden change frightened the soldiers next to him to stumble and run away.

Zhang Xuan was puzzled, and raised the holy decree again: "This is Your Majesty's will." Xuan me came to see the driver, what are you doing here? ”

At this time, Yuwen Zhiji was in the vagina not far away: "This person pretended to pass on the holy decree and plotted against him, kill him for me!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers raised their spears and stabbed at Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan had already seen Yuwen Zhiji, he was furious now, and reached out to take his weapon from the horse next to him, and the cold light flashed. Hearing only a click, more than a dozen spears had been cut off by the two-wheeled halberd, which frightened the soldiers to retreat.

Only then did hundreds of other soldiers recognize Zhang Xuan, thinking of his martial arts that bravely penetrated the three armies, the soldiers were afraid in their hearts, and no one dared to step forward.

Zhang Xuan saw a large group of soldiers coming in the distance, and he knew that Yu Wen Zhiji wanted to take the opportunity to declare his personal vendetta, so he didn't think twice. As soon as the reins of the war horse were mentioned, the Treasure Flame Beast suddenly soared into the air. Passing over the heads of several soldiers, he rushed straight to Yuwen Zhiji, Yuwen Zhihe was caught off guard, he was just about to draw his knife, and the cold halberd tip had already pressed against his throat.

The situation took a sharp turn, and General Yuwen was actually controlled by Jang Hyun. Almost everyone was dumbfounded.

Yu Wenzhi said angrily: "I am the escort general, you let go of me!" ”

Zhang Xuan said coldly: "I don't care what kind of bullshit general you are, if you dare to threaten me, Lao Tzu will kill you first and make them lay down their weapons." Stand down! ”

Yuwen Zhihe hesitated, Zhang Xuan's halberd was slightly sent, piercing his skin, and a wisp of blood flowed down, Yuwen Zhihe had to shout: "Put down your weapon and retreat!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers surrounding Jang Xuan's personal guards put down their swords and spears and retreated, and Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers urged their horses to follow.

At this moment, a carriage drove in the distance, and someone in the carriage suddenly shouted: "General Zhang, be merciful!" ”

Zhang Xuan heard that this was Pei Ju's voice, his halberd moved away from Yuwen Zhiji's neck, and took two steps back, Yuwen Zhihe covered his still bleeding neck with a handkerchief, his vicious eyes were still staring at Zhang Xuan, and his eyes seemed to erupt with anger.

Pei Ju got out of the carriage and walked over quickly, he came to appease the angry alternates, but he happened to encounter a scene where Zhang Xuan controlled Yu Wen Zhihe, Pei Ju was so old and spicy, and immediately understood the grievances here, it must be Yu Wen Zhi and wanted to use the power in his hands to plot against Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan restrained it.

Pei Ju said to Yuwen Zhiji: "General Yuwen will go first!" I'm in charge here. ”

Yuwen Zhi didn't dare to have a hard top with Pei Ju, he glared at Zhang Xuan fiercely, and waved his hand, "Follow me!" ”

Hundreds of henchmen followed Yuwen Zhi and left quickly, and there were more than 2,000 soldiers left at the scene, although they also belonged to Yu Wenzhi and his jurisdiction, they were responsible for being on duty here and could not leave without permission.

Pei Ju smiled at Zhang Xuan, "The general waits, I'll deal with the matter here briefly, and then accompany the general to see the saint." ”

Of course Zhang Xuan doesn't want to be a hero, since this is Yuwen Zhiji's territory, it must be much safer to follow Pei Ju, although he is not a gentleman, but he doesn't want to stand under the dangerous wall, Zhang Xuan accepted the halberd, bowed slightly and smiled: "Pei Gong, please feel free!" ”

Pei Ju stepped forward, and a large group of alternate officers immediately surrounded him, "Pei Shangshu wants to call the shots for us!" ”

"Pei Shangshu, the officials must give us an explanation for this matter!"

The alternate officers shouted excitedly, drowning out Pei Ju's voice, Zhang Xuan saw that these scholars were emotional, and he was afraid that he would hurt Pei Ju, so he hurriedly gave the soldiers a look, and the soldiers quickly rushed into the crowd and forcibly separated Pei Ju and the soldiers with their tall and strong bodies.

Pei Ju almost fainted just now, he finally took a breath, and couldn't help but secretly thank Zhang Xuan for his timely protection.

At this time, Zhang Xuance immediately stepped forward and roared angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”

His voice was like thunder, and more than a thousand alternate officers were suddenly frightened and quiet, and the soldiers escorted Pei Ju out of the crowd, and Pei Ju said to everyone: "Don't make noise, listen to me convey the words of the saint!" ”

If everyone was suddenly quiet just now because they were frightened by Zhang Xuan, then at this time, it was because of the Holy Lord's edict, and the crowd was silent, and they stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

Pei Ju said unhurriedly: "This time, the officials sorted out some official positions and prepared to confer officials to you in Jiangdu, only because of an emergency, the saint decided to return north in advance, but the official was not canceled, and the saint decided to continue in Luoyang, as for you to go back and forth very hard, the saint also knows, he thinks this is a test for you, don't complain, complaining will be bad for you, you know, it is not only you who are waiting for the court to confer officials." ”

Pei Ju's last sentence was extremely lethal, and the alternate officials who just wanted to protest suddenly closed their mouths, everyone knew that there were far more people who were qualified to be officials, high-ranking officials, palace guards, and local old officials, according to the practice of the imperial court, they could fill the vacancies of officials, and they had a backstage door, they had nothing, and everyone had to hold their grievances in their hearts.

At this time, someone asked: "May I ask Pei Shangshu, when is the specific time of the award?" What are the other conditions for conferring an officer? ”

This is also a matter of great concern to everyone, Pei Ju said with a smile: "The specific time has not been decided yet, but it must be said when everyone returns to the capital, so everyone doesn't have to work so hard, just rest when you should rest, there will definitely be no official on the road, as for the conditions, it should be an interview, and then the best will be awarded." ”

Zhang Xuan said to everyone again: "This place is very close to Yongcheng County, let's go to the county seat to rest!" It's too hot, don't get dehydrated and fall to the ground and die. ”

Everyone talked about it, so they had to drag their heavy steps towards Songcheng County in the west, and the crowd finally dispersed.

Pei Ju smiled at Zhang Xuan and said, "Thanks to the general's help just now, otherwise I would have fainted." ”

"Yes, Pei Gong, please get into the carriage."

Pei Ju got into the carriage, Zhang Xuan followed on horseback, and the two walked slowly along the official road on the shore.

"Pei Gong just said that the imperial court is returning to the north in an emergency, I don't know what happened?"

Pei Ju smiled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, because the Turkic Khan invited His Majesty to meet in Qifubo next spring, and the Holy Lord attaches great importance to this meeting, and he has to make a lot of preparations before, and it will be too hasty to come back in the autumn, so he will return north in advance." ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, isn't the 12th year of the great cause the siege of Yanmen? Yang Guang almost died at the hands of the Turks.

But at this time, Zhang Xuan no longer used history to set reality, many things were not what he thought, nor were they as simple as recorded in history, and he learned the necessary silence.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "It's not a good place to beg for a place, the Turks were ambushed there at the beginning, waiting for the Sui Dynasty caravan to go north, and it was there that I escaped with my life." ”

Pei Ju was stunned in his heart, he savored the words in Zhang Xuan's words, and was silent for a while. (To be continued.) )
