The two white-faced and beardless guys were both masters, and they swept over the grassland with a high-speed speed, always far away from the direction of the avenue, and left Tingzhou City for twenty or thirty miles, and then turned into a deserted valley near the avenue.

In the depths of the valley gathered a number of Persians, all of whom were strong Persian warriors, numbering in the hundreds. After bringing Hun Yang here, the two beardless fellows left. They all followed Li Longji, so naturally they couldn't leave for too long.

When they arrived, the three Persians followed Hun Xuan, each with two healthy horses, all disguised as merchants, and a small amount of silk silk on the horseback was regarded as goods, and galloped off the avenue into the distance.

The young man Tiele sat on horseback and looked back at the direction of Tingzhou, with extremely complicated feelings. It was only a day before his fate changed so dramatically.

In the past, with his back to the entire Tang Dynasty, he didn't have to think about anything, he only needed a knife and a shot in the battle array, and he could easily gain fame, although it was a little harder, but now it is a very simple thing to think about.

And now he has offended His Majesty, and has cooperated with this mysterious Persian power to seek a life for himself and his family. What will happen after this trip to Chang'an, and whether things will develop as the Persian envisioned, everything is still unknown.

After galloping for nearly 100 miles, there was a fork in the road ahead, and Hun Yang knew that going left was going back to the tooth tent, and going right was Yizhou. Hun Xuan looked at the few Persians with indifferent expressions around him, and a trace of killing intent suddenly appeared in his heart.

In the Tang Army, the most famous in recent years is Ma Xiang, for Hun Xuan, who became famous as a teenager. Ma Xiang is the person he admires the most. This time I followed these guys to Chang'an. But it is to put the horse and the mortal enemy. For this young man who has just reached the age of 20, this is an extremely difficult thing to accept.

Walking to the right, it is the avenue to Chang'an through Yizhou through Mohe Yanmoi, which is the road he should take to report to Chang'an this time. Go to the left and you will be able to reach the back to the tooth tent. Ma Xiang's army has entered Huifu, and if you follow this road, you will be able to find Ma Xiang.

He had great respect for the young man Ma Xiangtiele, and at this time an impulse suddenly rose in his heart. The way he should go is not to the right. Rather, to the left.

While thinking about it, his hand involuntarily pressed the handle of the horizontal knife. The desire to go to Ma Xiang and expose the conspiracy of the Persians was so strong that the next moment the sword was already unsheathed.

Although he injured his left arm, it did not affect his strength, and in the flash of the sword, a Persian warrior was cut down by him. Then another sword swung out, knocking another Persian warrior to the ground.

The Persian warrior at the front reacted, roaring and pulling out the scimitar from his waist, and as soon as the scimitar was unsheathed, the horizontal knife of the young man Tiele had arrived. A long, narrow horizontal sword swept past the samurai's neck. A huge head flew up.

Killing three people in a row in an instant, the look on the face of the young man Tiele was uncertain. Jumping off the horse, it took a moment to drag the bodies of all three men off the avenue and hide them deep in the grass, and then led a few healthy horses into the distance, and quickly slit their throats with a horizontal knife.

Hiding the corpses of men and horses, the young man rode his last healthy horse, and without hesitation, turned to the fork on the left, and galloped away into the distance.

This fork in the road was not the same main road back to the Tooth Tent, so the road was extremely quiet and empty, and there was no caravan from Tingzhou to Hui Hui, but it would soon be connected to the main road. When the time comes, follow the direction of the caravan and keep walking, and you will be able to find Ma Xiang's army and find Ma Xiang.

Hun Xuan didn't know if he had made the right choice, and he didn't know what kind of fate this choice would bring to himself and his family, but he had already chosen, and he had to go down this path.

Rather than believing in the ghostly Persians, he preferred to try his luck with the horses. Ma Xiang is the heaven-sent god general of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't imagine that he went to Chang'an to falsely accuse Ma Xiang, and finally stood on the opposite side of the horse.

After all, he was just a teenager, and he couldn't think too carefully about it. Now to make this choice, it is more dependent on instinct and personal reverence for Ma Lu. As for right and wrong, he didn't think much about it.

The horses were wiped out on the fork in the road, and the corpses of the Persians and horses in the grass quickly turned cold. The road is not the main one, it is rarely walked, and it is difficult for people to detect the existence of these bodies.

Tingzhou City.

Yesterday, there was a fire between the Han Navy and the Shuofang Army, which shook the entire Tingzhou City. The people of all ethnic groups in the city were extremely nervous, and no caravan dared to leave the city for a whole day, and those caravans returning from Jinshan did not dare to enter the city, and they all camped outside the city for the night.

Early this morning, order finally returned to Tingzhou City. A small number of Han Navy non-commissioned officers appeared inside the city gates, and Han Navy non-commissioned officers resumed their normal patrols throughout the city. No one explained what happened yesterday, and people didn't dare to ask, but the caravan that had returned from Jinshan still entered Tingzhou City, and the caravan that had left Tingzhou for Jinshan was also on its way. Between entering and leaving, this major event was also spread, and various theories were discussed.

Han Navy General Gu Yuanqin and Captain Gao Linshan did not catch Hun Xuan yesterday, so they had to go to see the Son of Heaven to ask for guilt, Li Longji and Yan Yuese comforted the two, did not blame them, and once again recognized their merits for escorting this time, saying that when Ma Lu returned from the northern expedition, he would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. Both of them put their minds in their stomachs, and their hearts were extremely happy.

Regarding this fire, Li Longji's request is not to explain to anyone, and the news of his arrival in Tingzhou must still be kept secret, and no one is allowed to disclose it. said that he was going to rest in Tingzhou for a few days, and he would go back in a few days.

Seeing that Li Longji's expression was not very good, General Gu Bei and the high school lieutenant understood that His Majesty was caused by some fright yesterday. The two obeyed the holy order, did not explain yesterday's events to anyone, restored order in Tingzhou City, and secretly sent a large number of people near the residence of the Son of Heaven to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven.

After discussing with the two, they decided to send a messenger to Mobei to inform Ma Lu of the matter. Although the Son of Heaven did not let them do this, they were all Ma Lan's private individuals, and it was the right thing to do. Feng Changqing was still in Qiuzi, but they didn't send anyone to report it. Because of the loyalty of the Doctor Efeng. When he knew, he waited until the Son of Heaven knew. Then they would all be charged with disobedience.

Tingzhou is located in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the jurisdiction is very wide, the status is special, the state city and Jinman County are governed together, because it is a border state, so the Jinman County Order in charge of civil affairs is only a small role. The main jurisdiction of the Jinman County Order is the more than 2,000 Han people who have been reclaimed near Tingzhou City, and the people in Tingzhou City are soft-spoken and have never been taken into account by the border army.

So when Jinman County ordered Cai Zhongman to come to visit. General Gu Bei and Captain Gao both felt a little strange. They have always had little contact with literati, and they couldn't talk to each other, and Cai Zhongman's visit was completely unexpected by the two.

General Gu Bei is also okay, after all, the Han Navy is stationed in Tingzhou City, and this Cai County Commander does not look up and look down, and he can be regarded as a colleague, so he is naturally polite. The high school lieutenant is Ma Xuan's personal soldier, and he is a member of the Gao family, and he is the same generation as Gao Sheji, and he is twice as tall as Gao Qianqian. He retired when Gao Xianzhi entered the dynasty and stayed to take care of the Gao family grange. Later, he couldn't adapt to the days of leaving the army, so he followed Ma Lan to become a pro-soldier captain. Due to his special status. Although he is a Goguryeo, he is unapologetic to Cai Zhongman and looks extremely arrogant.

Of course, he is only arrogant to the literati, he himself is a non-reader, so he looks down on these scholars, and he is still extremely close to his brothers, otherwise he will not be able to control those arrogant generals.

Cai Zhongman came with a mission, naturally he didn't care about Gao Linshan's arrogance, and said with a smile: "Do the two generals know that a catastrophe is coming?" ”

Gao Linshan exploded when he heard this, and slapped the top of this guy's head, causing Cai Zhongman to scream loudly, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, let it go, and if you make a fuss, Lao Tzu can't beat you!" ”

Cai Zhongman hugged the top of his head, he didn't expect this pro-soldier captain to be so rude, but this time he came on the order of the great shaman, and if he didn't do a good job, he would lose his life, so he could only endure this breath at the moment, and said with a smile: "The general's lesson is that the lower official will say it directly." The two generals, yesterday's incident was extremely strange, and the officials of the Central Plains and the Central Committee knew about it, but the two generals were still in the dark. The two generals, yesterday was not Hun Ying's edict to kill the monarch at all, but His Majesty wanted to use Hun Ying's hand to eradicate the soldiers and horses in the hands of the two generals. Two generals, Your Majesty is going to do something to the horse! ”

"What!" When Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin heard this, they both stood up suddenly.

Cai Zhongman's words were like thunder, which made both of them startled.

Cai Zhongman said: "Two generals, think about what happened yesterday, don't you feel suspicious?" His Majesty's words are just excuses, and the two generals really can't hear them? ”

"How do you know about yesterday's events?" Gao Linshan lowered his voice and said angrily, "My brother won't leak it out, and Lao Gu won't tell you." Who told you that Your Majesty is in Tingju? If you can't say a thing or two, I'll kill you! ”

Cai Zhong said with courage: "The two generals, they are not here to tell right and wrong, they are really under the two generals but they are one, and the future is pointing to Ma Xiang, now that they know the truth of yesterday's events, how dare they not come to tell the two generals!" ”

"How do I know what happened yesterday, let's not talk about it for the time being, the two generals listened to me tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and with the heroic strength of the two generals, they naturally know whether what they said is true or false. If the two generals feel that there is a lie in the next place, they are willing to add an axe to the next and die at the hands of the two generals! ”

"It's not for anything else, it's really for the sake of Ma Xiang and everyone's net worth, so I came to see the two generals. If it weren't for that, he should have sneaked out of Tingzhou with his family, why should he come here to provoke the two generals! ”

Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan glanced at each other, both nodded, and directly pulled Cai Zhongman to the depths of the barracks.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on, why did Your Majesty do something to the horse? If you can't convince us, you don't want to leave here alive! The high lieutenant looked at Cai Zhongman with a cold face and shouted.

Gu Beijiang also nodded with a cold face, they all thought that they were Ma Lan's private individuals, if the Son of Heaven really wanted to deal with Ma Lan, then naturally he would not hesitate to stand on Ma Lan's side. Even his soldiers, too. Now that Ma Lu is in the west of the city, it is not only the Anxi Army that absolutely worships him, but also these Beiting soldiers. (To be continued......)
