Chapter 363: The Last Ray of Comfort

Li You and Yin Hongzhi were captured, in fact, even if they did not reveal their whereabouts, even when they reached the bank of the Yellow River, they could only look at the river and sigh.

Wanting to take the Yellow River south and cross to Goryeo to the east is a complete dream, they forget that it is now a cold winter and the Yellow River is already frozen. Even though it was arranged in advance, God did not intend to let them escape, which can be seen by providence.

At the same time as Li You and Yin Hongzhi were captured, Xie Yi's men and horses entered Qizhou City, which had lost its former prosperity and prosperity, and there were many traces of war burning in the city, which was already somewhat dilapidated.

I don't know how much time it will take to restore the prosperity of the past and the people to return to their hard-won peaceful and peaceful life. Xie Yi sometimes feels very fortunate that he lived in a peaceful era in later generations, and he was fortunate to be a peaceful and prosperous era in the Zhenguan period when he came to ancient times.

I hadn't seen the cruelty of the war before, and this Qizhou Rebellion was only on a large scale, but the damage caused couldn't help but make Xie Yi feel a little shocked. Just imagine the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty more than 20 years ago, what kind of tragic scene should it be?

It makes people shudder to think about it, almost 20 years, the people of the world have just resumed their lives of living and working in peace and contentment, if there is another war like Qizhou, it will be the miserable situation of the year.

The flames of war have begun to extinguish, and the people's hearts are not at peace!

Who is to blame for such a situation? It is not the ambitious and unpredictable people, who have all kinds of seemingly reasonable and justified reasons, but after starting a war, it is the common people who suffer in the end.

This kind of person should not be tolerated, as for their reasons, when carefully considered, there are too many selfish distractions, and the resulting behavior is even more outrageous.

Yin Hongzhi hated the Li Tang royal family, probably because of the destruction of the Yin family back then, but he forgot that his father, Yin Shishi, once pouted the ancestral grave of the Li family. It was when Li Yuan's father and son destroyed the Yin family afterwards. also forgave him when he was less than sixteen years old, and also made his sister the imperial concubine and gave birth to a prince......

He only remembered hatred, and forgot to compare his heart with his heart, forgot to repay grievances with virtue, or mutual understanding, and finally drove himself to a dead end. I don't know if Yin Hongzhi regrets it, no matter what, the dead Concubine Yin and Li You, who is about to be unable to live, are his relatives.

Forcing his relatives to a dead end like this, he Yin Hongzhi doesn't have the slightest remorse in his heart?

And Wang Jundu. It is true that Li Yuan did not keep his promise and killed him from the top of the Wang family. But the princes compete, the victor is the prince and the loser, and it is reasonable for you to live or die. Even if you want to take revenge, if it is only against the Li family itself, such as assassinating Li Shimin or something, but stirring up the changes in the world, conspiracy and rebellion or something is a bit too much.

Especially the previous collusion with foreign tribes such as Tubo and Xue Yantuo, and the intention to invade is even more despicable. These people are even more unforgivable. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of chaos will be caused later, and I don't know how many innocent people will be involved in it, and they will be deeply poisoned.

Xie Yi is not compassionate, but he really feels that these people have become a cancer. At the same time, I am worried about my own safety.

I have ruined their good deeds again and again, how can I just forget it? What if Wang Jundu takes revenge on himself? These people have no morality to speak of.

I am not afraid, but what about my wife and children at home? Xie Yi didn't want his son to have fun on the streets of Chang'an in the future, and he would always have to worry about the attack of the gangsters. That's uncomfortable.

So this time, no matter what, Wang Jundu and others must be eliminated in Qizhou.

Wang Jundu is a very cunning fox, and it is luck to be able to trap him in Qizhou City. Li You's outrageous road when he went out of the city before, which may also have something to do with him.

So where did he go?

Xie Yi laid a net outside Qizhou City, but he never saw him, so there seemed to be only one result.

"Xiaoyao, do you mean that Wang Jundu and other traitors are still in the city?" Xu Xiaode seems to be a little difficult to accept Xie Yi's conjecture.

Xie Yi said: "Our prevention and control outside the city is strict enough, they can't slip out, presumably Wang Jundu himself knows it."

If it were me, it wasn't that I went out of the city at that time, and it was no surprise that he was still in Qizhou City, so we need to catch turtles in the urn now. ”

"How?" Xu Xiaode said: "The army is here, and it is not difficult to turn over Qizhou City......

"No, it can't be like this, Qizhou has just been hit by war, it is the time when the people are panicking, if the city is turbulent, the people will inevitably be frightened, and the order will inevitably be chaotic. At this time, how to stabilize the city as soon as possible is the best policy. ”

Xie Yi said: "So what the son-in-law means is that the outside is loose and the inside is tight, and there is still to be a search, but it is just for show." Then the son-in-law will leave Qizhou and leave the manpower for your father-in-law. After the son-in-law left Qizhou, the situation was loosened, and it was no surprise that they had a bad way. ”

"It's okay, the war in Qizhou is calm, and Li You and Yin Hongzhi and other prisoners are very important, and I have to worry about you escorting them back to Chang'an as soon as possible." Xu Xiaode said: "As for the matter of Qizhou, it was handed over to me, I was originally a parent official here, and it was my duty to rebuild the people after the war." ”

"Then there is Father-in-law Lao!"

Xu Xiaode said with a smile: "You and I are son-in-law, why be polite, you and Hui'er will bother to take care of Qi Dan after they arrive in Chang'an." ”

"That's natural, but don't worry, father-in-law." Xie Yi smiled faintly, for this brother-in-law, naturally he can't be treated badly.

Speaking carefully, the time to leave Chang'an is indeed not short, and at the end of the year, it is time to go back. The son is almost one year old, but he has been away from home, and most of them don't remember what he looks like as a father.

Alas!

Xie Yi sighed secretly, and it seemed that he was busy outside every winter because of various things, and he couldn't live in peace. But fortunately, things have been done basically smoothly in the past few years, even if there is a thrill in the middle, they are all safe and sound, and they are barely delivered.

After returning to Chang'an this time, I will have good news for a while, and I will try not to do this thankless errand in the future. It's just that as soon as Li You's incident came out, the situation in Chang'an and the situation in the entire Datang Dynasty completely changed, and it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future.

Annoyance!

However, what is reassuring is that because Xie Yi still needs to be delayed in Qizhou for a few days, Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department who came to Qizhou to investigate last time, has returned, responsible for escorting Li You, Yin Hongzhi and others to Chang'an.

In this way, Xie Yi was much more relaxed, and threw out a particularly hot potato. Li You's identity is too special. And it's too sensitive, it's really not a good thing to fall into your own hands, and it's better to hand it over sooner.

Because he had to deal with some follow-up matters in Qizhou, and he needed to paralyze Wang Jundu, he could justifiably stay in Qizhou and rest for a few days.

However, it is a pity that the house on the shore of Daming Lake has been reduced to ashes, which makes Xu Hui inevitably a little disappointed when he revisits his hometown, but fortunately, Xie Yi has strong financial resources and immediately started to rebuild on the original site.

Xu Hui inevitably regretted: "Although it has been rebuilt, I don't know when I will be able to come back to live again." ”

"There's always an opportunity."

"Well, Daming Lake is beautiful. Unforgettable. Xu Hui thought in her heart, the good times during this time have been deeply engraved in her mind.

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Yes, the scenery on the lake is beautiful, and the scenery above the small building is even more charming, but I am very lucky to be a husband and can see it from time to time." ”

Although she was used to it, Xu Hui couldn't help but blush, and she was a little embarrassed.

Xie Yi said with a smile: "I've been busy with war these days, and I've snubbed my lady. I am really sorry for my husband......"

"You......" Xu Hui smiled shyly, and the room was suddenly full of charm.

……

The search of the officers and soldiers in the city of Qizhou has been carried out, and in line with the principle of not sparing their lives seriously, they have searched for all those related to the traitors. Rebellion is the thing that the feudal dynasty cares about the most. There is often no tolerance for the rebels, and the first culprits, Li You and Yin Hongzhi, have been escorted to Chang'an.

The rest of the participants can't be let go, and they will be measured and punished according to the degree of participation and crimes, I heard that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple in Chang'an have sent people to Qizhou. Conduct relevant investigations and adjudication of penalties.

Xie Yi was only responsible for helping to arrest people, and didn't ask much else, until things were almost settled. Xie Yi prepared to return to Chang'an. Being away from home for too long is one of the reasons, and presiding over the counterinsurgency is also a major event, and it is necessary to go back to report to Emperor Li Shimin.

Although Xu Xiaode is a little reluctant to give up his daughter, his daughter is about to marry into the Xie family after all, and Xie Yi is very considerate to Xu Hui, so he has nothing to worry about. Therefore, he reluctantly sent the two out of Qizhou and returned to Chang'an.

Originally, Xie Yi expected that the return trip would be quite comfortable, but he never expected that he was ambushed before he left the city.

The assassins appeared very suddenly, and more than a dozen people rushed towards the carriage in which Xie Houye and Madame Xu were riding, and in the distance, there were people shooting with crossbows that were only available in the army.

Fortunately, the carriages of the Xie family are all specially made, and the interiors are inlaid with iron plates, so that the crossbow arrows will not shoot through the carriage. And Yebei is cautious, no matter when Xie Yi's defense has never been relaxed, so that these assassins who suddenly burst out have not succeeded.

The strength of the Xie family's guards was strong enough to deal with the Assassins, and they had not yet left Qizhou, where there were still elite troops stationed. Hearing that Marquis Xie was assassinated, many soldiers and horses immediately rushed to the rescue.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the assassin immediately scattered and fled, but once he appeared, it was not so easy to escape.

"San Lang ......" got out of the carriage and looked at the arrows nailed to the body, and the shocking scene suddenly made Xu Hui a little scared.

She had never seen such a dangerous scene, and she had been in the rear of the barracks a few days ago, and she had not seen too much war and killing. As for the last time I evacuated from the shore of Daming Lake, I only saw a sudden fire, and there was no bloody scene, but this time it was different.

"I'm scared of you, it's okay, don't worry." Xie Yi hurriedly comforted Xu Hui, who was discolored, and felt sorry in his heart, such a thing should not have happened on this sunny afternoon, but it happened.

What kind of person is so bold, Xie Yi already has a rough idea in his heart, he originally wanted to let you jump for a few more days, but I don't know what to do, and I also frightened the beauty, is it tolerable or unbearable, and it must not be spared.

After getting out of the carriage and comforting the frightened Xu Hui softly, Xie Yi immediately ordered the whole city to be searched, and this time he couldn't care so much. And after the snake's tail is revealed, it is a perfect opportunity to take the opportunity to find a hole and catch it all.

Thousands of soldiers moved in Qizhou City, and Marquis Xie's order was to dig three feet into the ground and never let go of one, and the soldiers carried out this very thoroughly.

The target is Wang Jundu and the others.

At this time, there were still people in Qizhou who jumped out to assassinate Xie Yi, who else could there be? Lee You's remnants? How many people are in the palace of King Qi, this has long been clear, and now they have all been cleared and escorted to Chang'an by Liu Dewei.

And the remnants of the city are only Wang Jundu and others, who have tolerated them in consideration of a series of timing problems such as the difficulty of searching and disturbing the people. But these people have become even more impatient, and naturally they cannot be forgiven.

……

At the same time, in the secret room of a certain house in Qizhou City, Wang Jundu, who was already a little old, was furious.

"Who made you assert?" Wang Jundu was furious and said, "I just asked you to send someone out of the city to perform an errand, where did you do it to Xie Yi?" ”

The henchmen who obeyed his words on weekdays disobeyed his orders and made his own decisions, so that he made a big mistake and caused a series of adverse consequences, Wang Jundu was full of anger, and it was completely reasonable to have this reaction.

"Master, I...... Your order has been carried out, and the people sent out are already on the way, as for Xie Yi here, many of our major events have been bad because of this person, we hate him as much as you do, how can we watch him leave Qizhou in style? ”

"But have you thought about it, your actions are really stupid......"

"We wanted to be taken by surprise and unprepared, but we didn't expect him to be so afraid of death, and his preparation was so thorough, that it fell short."

"Afraid of death?" Wang Jundu sneered and said, "He is afraid of death, but haven't you thought about why he is so well prepared?" Is it because of fear of death? Can't he use himself as a fish to lure the snake out of the hole and catch you in the bait? ”

"This ......"

"I've only come back to my senses now, it's too late......" Wang Jundu's anger seemed to gradually subside, but the corners of his mouth were a helpless wry smile, and even a little bitter. The eyes are slowly unwilling, but there is a look similar to relief, maybe this result is not bad, maybe it is destined to be so!

"You guys scatter, look for an opportunity to see if you can escape, this will show up, Xie Yi will definitely pass by......" Wang Jundu shook his head and said: "We are finished, we are finished......"

"The host ......"

Wang Jundu shook his head slightly, at this moment he only hoped that the passerby he sent out would be able to do things well, maybe that was the last trace of comfort. (To be continued.) )
