readx; "Bastard!"

Yang Guozhong slammed his fist on the table, "Why didn't you catch him!" ”

Longwu General Ma Xiujun and Jin Wuwei General Deng Wei both lowered their heads in shame, "Yang Shangshu, we have done our best, it is indeed a step too late, he has already escaped." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Escaped! But I am surrounded by spies in his house, how can he escape? ”

Yang Guozhong was so angry that he slapped the table 'bang!' Bang! 'Ring, this Xing Xuan is the key to his entire plan, how can there be a mistake in such a seamless plan?

"What about spies? Call them all to me, did these people grow up eating? ”

Yang Guozhong was a little out of his mind, from the time they caught Ren Haichuan to the time they sent troops to arrest Xing Wei, there was less than half an hour in between, how could Xing Wei escape.

"Shang Shu is angry, there is a secret passage in this Xing Wei Mansion, which leads to a hundred steps away, and the secret agent doesn't know, so he can escape, this is not to blame the spies."

"Then who sent the letter, could it be that the person who sent the letter also went through the secret passage?"

As soon as Yang Guozhong's voice fell, he suddenly remembered something, stared fiercely at the outside of the hall, and after a while, he smashed his fist on the table again, gritted his teeth and said: "Cui Guangyuan, you bastard, you dare to betray me!" ”

He just remembered that Cui Guangyuan had said to himself that Xing Wei was kind to him, why did he only react now.

"Yang Shangshu, what should we do now?" General Long Wu Ma Xiujun asked.

"What else can I do? Search the whole city for me, and if it doesn't work, I'll offer a reward of 10,000 gold, and find this person no matter what! ”

As soon as Yang Guozhong's words fell, a voice came from outside, "Yang Shangshu, there is no need to search the whole city, and there is no need to offer a reward, I know where he is." ”

I saw Ling Hufei walking in from outside, Ma Xiujun and Deng Wei bowed down together, Ling Hufei gave them a salute back, and said with a slight smile: "I also took precautions against this accident today, so I know where Xing Wei is?" ”

Yang Guozhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, please tell me quickly, where is this thief hiding?" ”

Ling Hufei nodded and said: "At that time, I knew that if Xing Wei escaped, he would definitely flee to Wang Lu's mansion for refuge, so I arranged two spies next to Wang Wei's mansion, and as I expected, Xing Wei fled to Wang Kun's mansion, but unfortunately I had fewer arrangements, otherwise I could intercept people on the spot." ”

"Then we'll go to Wang Kun's mansion now to ask for someone!" Yang Guozhong said excitedly.

"Nope! He has been sent out of the city, one person comes back to report, and the other person goes to follow, but if I guess correctly, it should be sent to the manor outside Wang Lu's city, what Yang Shangshu has to do is to go out of the city overnight tonight, and he must be caught before Wang Heng reacts. ”

At this moment, there was a drum sound of closing the city gate outside, Yang Guozhong immediately made a decision, and said to Deng Wei, the general of Jin Wuwei: "General Deng, your Jin Wuwei is not restricted by the city gate, you can lead five hundred cavalry out of the city, no matter what, you must arrest Xing Wei for me." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Deng Wei saluted and strode out, and in a moment, the five hundred Jinwu Guard cavalry galloped towards the direction of Mingde Gate, like a gust of wind blowing across the street.

．．．．．．．．． Wang Lu's manor is located in the northwest of Chang'an City, is a large manor covering an area of nearly 5,000 acres, there are more than 200 tenant farmers, next to the manor is a small river, not far away is a lush forest, this area has sufficient irrigation, fertile land, has always been a high-yield field, in addition to Wang Kun's manor, there are two large manors of Chen Xilie and Yang Shenjin nearby, the homesteaders here are almost extinct, all the farmers are in Chang'an's magnates to do tenant farming, women go into the city to find work, earn a little money to subsidize the family.

Wang Kun's manor was unwalled, with an unobstructed view of the vast fields, and near the woods there was a three-story house with several large granaries behind it, but here there was a fence that enclosed the house and the granary in the middle.

The house faintly flashed the light, Xing Wei stood in front of the window on the third floor, silently looking at the dark night outside, he is about forty years old this year, very tall and strong, he was born poor, his parents died early, he wandered on the streets of Chang'an since he was a child, at the age of thirteen, he entered a martial arts hall as an apprentice, learned a body of martial arts, he relied on this martial arts, step by step to play a family business, but also in Chang'an to play a strong and chivalrous reputation.

Tomorrow is his forty-year-old birth, people are middle-aged, I wanted to accept the competitive heart, enjoy life, but unexpectedly a flying disaster made it difficult for him to return home, the other party came so many soldiers to arrest him, he also vaguely guessed, the matter is probably related to the Wang family, otherwise, he is a small person, as for such a teacher?

Xing Wei was in a very heavy mood, he was thinking about where he was going, Chang'an couldn't go back, it was best to go to Xianyang tomorrow, where there was 2,000 yuan of money in a cabinet shop, he could take it out and go to Longyou's uncle first, and then take his wife and children out after the limelight passed, he secretly made up his mind and left as soon as dawn.

Suddenly, there was a fierce barking of dogs in the distance, countless dogs barked wildly in the dark, his heart suddenly became vigilant, if there was no large group of people coming, it would be impossible for so many dogs to bark together, he threw himself in front of the window and looked into the darkness, his eyesight was very strong, only to see a long black shadow faintly moving on the official road two miles away, and the black shadow faintly reflected the light.

"Armor!"

Xing suddenly reacted, only the armor would reflect in the dark, this was the army came to arrest him, he almost without thinking about breaking through the window, jumped from the third floor to the courtyard, rolled on the ground, swung the dagger in his boot, cut the reins of the horse tied to the stake, he turned on the horse, stabbed a knife in the horse's hips, the horse suffered pain, jumped out of the gate, and galloped into the field.

Under the guidance of an undercover agent, the five hundred Jinwu Guard cavalry who came to capture him were already less than a mile away from his hiding place, and the general Deng Wei suddenly saw a man rushing out of the courtyard on horseback, and he immediately reacted that this must be the escapee, and he immediately waved his knife and shouted: "Catch this person, reward a thousand dollars!" ”

Hundreds of cavalry and a fugitive ran wildly in the field where the seedlings were raised, shouting and shouting resounded through the night sky, Xing Wei saw that there was a large forest in front of him, he turned his horse's head, rushed into the woods, like a madman, rushed into the woods, five hundred Jin Wuwei immediately outflanked him in three ways, surrounded him from three directions.

When Xing Wei rushed out of the woods, he realized that he had made a big mistake, the speed in the woods had decreased, and the cavalry who had been chasing him by detour had already come up, getting closer and closer to him, and was already less than sixty paces, when a small river suddenly crossed out in front of him, blocking his way.

At this moment, General Deng Wei stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at him and shot an arrow, the bowstring sounded, and an arrow hit Xing Wei's back, and he rushed into the river with men and horses.

"Catch him! Catch it alive! Deng Wei shouted loudly, and kept pulling the reins and looking around in the river, where are the people?

"General, there!"

A soldier suddenly saw the target, Xing Wei had already climbed onto the opposite bank, holding the long arrow on his right shoulder with one hand, stumbling to the shore, there was a faint light in the distance, I don't know what place it was.

"Bastard!"

Deng Wei scolded: "Find a bridge to cross the river!" ”

The cavalrymen divided into two groups and searched everywhere for the bridge, and they soon found it two miles away, and the horses' hooves beat the ground like thunder, and a gust of wind rushed across the bridge.

Xing Wei on the other side was nowhere to be seen, they chased along the water stains all the way, and soon came to a bright light, Deng Wei's heart suddenly hung up, he found that this was actually a military camp, before they could get close, an arrow from the sentry tower shot at them, and the sentry shouted: "Stop!" ”

"Where is the army in the barracks?" Deng Wei asked in a low voice.

His subordinates all shook their heads in confusion, and then a local soldier said: "This was originally the military camp of the Wei cavalry, after the defeat of the Wei cavalry, the soldiers fled, and this military camp was abandoned. ”

"General Liu Lang, you go and ask about the situation!"

An officer turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and shouted: "We are Jin Wuwei, chasing a court criminal here, may I ask where are you in the army?" ”

The soldiers on the sentry tower said coldly after a while: "We are the Anxi Army, there are no fugitives here, our general is in the barracks, if you know each other, leave quickly, don't annoy our general." ”

"Anxi Army!" Deng Wei was stunned.

．．．．．．．．． In the barracks, Xing Wei was kneeling on the ground half-naked, a military doctor was using a sharp knife to carefully remove the arrow from his left shoulder, and in front of him, Li Qingan was half-lying on a comfortable Taishi chair, looking at the man in front of him coldly.

Xing Xuan's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and the severe pain made the beads of sweat on his forehead roll down, but he didn't say a word, Li Qingan couldn't help but nodded, this person is a tough guy, Xing Wei suddenly snorted, the arrow was ripped out of the bone, and the military doctor immediately gave him medicine to stop the bleeding, and bandaged it with a strip of cloth.

"That's it!"

The military doctor cut the strip of cloth, got up and said with a smile: "The arrow is non-poisonous, it only hurts a little bone, and it will be intact after a month." ”

Xing Wei took a heavy breath and kowtowed to Li Qingan, "The villain thanks the general for saving his life, he should remember it from the bottom of his heart, and let it be reciprocated." ”

Li Qingan waved his hand lightly and said, "Following what I said just now, after Cui Guangyuan sent you a letter, how did you escape?" ”

"Yes!"

Xing Wei held back the pain in his shoulders and continued: "Originally, the villain wanted to escape with his wife and children, but it was too late, the officers and soldiers of the brigade surrounded my mansion, and I had to escape from the tunnel, this tunnel I spent ten years digging, about 100 steps long, and it was used in times of emergency, but I didn't expect to use it today." ”

"And then?"

"Then the villain fled to the mansion of Wang Jun, the brother of Wang Jue, in order to seek refuge, he immediately sent me to the manor outside the city, but I didn't expect to be followed, just now the officers and soldiers continued to pursue, the villain desperately escaped, fortunately saved by the general."

At this time, a report came from outside the tent, "General, there are people from Jin Wuwei outside the camp, and they are asking for fugitives." ”

"Tell them there are no fugitives!"

"We said it, but they didn't believe it, and they must hand it over."

"Humph! Dare to bully my Anxi Army? ”

Li Qing'an coldly ordered: "Don't be verbose with them, transfer three hundred crossbowmen to line up, and kill them in fifty steps!" ”

"Yes!"

When the soldier left, Li Qingan smiled faintly, and asked Xing Wei again: "You fled to Wang Lu's mansion, what did he say?" ”

"Wang Langzhong said, this is Yang Guozhong wants to get rid of his eldest brother, borrowing the assassination case of King Di to make a fuss, blaming me, and finally pulling out the Wang brothers, this Yang Guozhong is fierce and vicious, it is really powerful!" Xing Wei gritted his teeth.

Li Qingan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "It's not that Yang Guozhong is powerful, he can't think of this kind of means, this is the idea of his military advisor Ling Hufei, including chasing you relentlessly, it must be his arrangement, and they not only have to deal with Wang Heng, but the ultimate goal is to eradicate Li Linfu." ”

"Lee Sang-kook!" Xing Wei was stunned, he was a small person who actually caused such a big storm.

Li Qing'an stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, this matter seems to have nothing to do with him Li Qing'an, but in fact, it has a lot to do with him, Wang Heng is Li Linfu's heir, if you get rid of Wang Heng, it is equivalent to getting rid of Li Linfu, at that time, Yang Guozhong is the dominant party, he can calmly deal with himself, but if he has an internal response in the court, he can contain Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu has declined, it can be seen that Li Longji is not worried that Yang Guozhong is in power alone, so he wants to support Wang Heng to confront him, This is Li Longji's imperial technique, and this is also his opportunity for Li Qing'an, if he forms an alliance with Wang Heng, then he can completely confront Yang Guozhong, An Lushan and others.

Thinking of this, Li Qingan couldn't help but glance at Xing Hui again, his relationship with Wang Heng has always been good, and now there is this person, this person is a bridge between him and Wang Heng.

Li Qingan smiled at Xing Wei and said: "Mr. Xing, don't worry, with me Li Qing'an, Yang Guozhong doesn't want to touch a single hair of you, you are also tired, go and rest!" I'll chase you away. ”

Xing Wei was nervous, he didn't know what Li Qingan was going to do with him, he knew that the relationship between Li Qingan and Jin Wuwei had always been bad, but now it was a big deal, was Li Qingan willing to offend Jin Wuwei for himself? But Li Qing'an's words suddenly dissipated the gloom in his heart, and he was so excited that he slammed his head twice, "General Xie for saving his life!" ”

"Go ahead!" Li Qing'an gave his soldiers a look, and the soldiers helped Xing Wei up, put on a dress for him, and took him out.

As soon as Xing Wei left, Li Qingan took the bow and arrow in his hand and strode towards the outside of the tent.

The fire outside the camp gate was blazing, and the five hundred Jinwu cavalry refused to leave a hundred paces away, and within fifty paces, two horses had fallen to the ground and died, and the wounded cavalry fled back, which was the punishment of the Anxi army for those who crossed the border.

Deng Wei stared at the Anxi army camp, anxious, he knew that he couldn't provoke the Anxi army, on the opposite side, in the barracks fence, there were dense figures, it was the Anxi army's three hundred crossbowmen waiting for him, just now two impulsive officers stepped forward to scold, as a result, the two horses were shot dead, and the two officers were also injured, Deng Wei knew in his heart that this was actually the mercy of the Anxi army's subordinates, otherwise, the two officers would have to die.

But Xing Wei's case is very important, and he will not be able to explain to Yang Guozhong when he goes back, and now he doesn't know what to do, only to delay for a moment.

At this moment, there was a slight twitch in the barracks, and he faintly heard someone shouting the general, Deng Wei's heart tightened, this is Li Qingan came out.

But the gate of the barracks was not opened, and he saw a few people walking up to the guard tower, and someone was shouting: "The general asks the leader of Jin Wuwei to come forward and speak." ”

Deng Wei immediately urged the horse forward, and clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "General Jin Wuwei Deng Wei see the general!" ”

On the sentry tower, Li Qing'an recognized this person, when the patrol battalion was established, this Deng Wei was the deputy of Jin Wuwei's battalion, and now he has been promoted to general.

"It turned out to be General Deng, I haven't seen him for many years, congratulations to General Deng on his promotion."

Li Qingan's tone was very light, obviously perfunctory.

"Thank you General, I have no choice but to disturb your army tonight, we are tracking down an important criminal in the imperial court, he is a major suspect in the assassination of King Di, he hid in your military camp, and I hope the general will return it to us."

"What does General Deng mean is that we are shielding important criminals in the imperial court?"

"Nope! No! No! I didn't mean that. ”

Deng Wei hurriedly explained: "The prisoner escaped into your military camp. ”

"Then you saw him enter my barracks?" Li Qingan's tone became stern.

"This...."Deng Wei was a little weak-hearted, the problem was here, they were a step late in finding the bridge, and they didn't see Xing Wei enter the barracks with their own eyes.

"I didn't see this with my own eyes, but he escaped from the river, and we chased him all the way down the water to the barracks."

"Water stains? Where are the water stains? ”

The water stains have dried, there are no traces, and there is no evidence and any statement is pale and weak, Deng Wei had to grit his teeth and say: "General, this is a case personally arrested by Yang Shangshu, it is indeed a matter of great importance, this matter has nothing to do with the general, I hope the general understands this." ”

Li Qingan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's a good Yang Shangshu to handle the case personally, does this case have anything to do with Yang Guozhong?" I only heard that this case was in charge of Jingzhao Yin Wang Heng, but you moved out of Yang Guozhong to pressure me. ”

Li Qing'an laughed and said coldly: "I'll give you a cup of tea time, either take out the holy will, or let me go, otherwise you are here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, then don't blame me Li Qing'an for being rude." ”

"General...."

Deng Wei hurriedly shouted, but Li Qing'an was silent, he was helpless, and he turned his horse back, his heart was in a mess, he couldn't help but look at the sky, it was only one o'clock, and it was still very long before dawn, what should I do? Whether to wait, wait for Yang Guozhong to come, or to withdraw, he is in a dilemma.

"General Deng, it's time for a cup of tea, bring the holy decree!" Li Qingan's voice came from a hundred steps away.

Deng Wei sighed and shouted stubbornly: "General, this matter did not alarm the Holy Lord. ”

"Humph! Without a will, you Jin Wuwei dare to go out of the city without permission? This is clearly to deceive my Anxi army. ”

As soon as Li Qing'an's voice fell, the sound of the bowstring sounded, Deng Wei was taken aback, he knew that Li Qing'an's divine arrow was unparalleled, in this moment of lightning and fire, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him with lightning speed, he couldn't dodge, 'Click! An arrow pierced through his helmet and flew out dozens of paces, the iron arrow grazed his scalp, the pain was so hot that Dunway was terrified.

"This arrow is a warning to you, if you don't leave, I will kill your dog!"

Deng Wei didn't have the courage to stay anymore, "Withdraw!" He took the horse's head and fled, and the soldiers of the Jinwuwei Brigade galloped after him, and in an instant they were clean, and the gate of the barracks suddenly fell silent.
