The edict has been issued publicly, and the messengers who have sent the edict to various places have already left Chang'an City, and the Anxi soldiers who have won the victory naturally have no reason to continue to stay in Chang'an City. Li Heng, the prince of the prison state, personally went to the Qinzheng downstairs to say goodbye, which can be said to have given enough face to the army in the west of the moraine, and then dozens of Anxi athletes took the property and rewards given by His Royal Highness the prince out of Anyuanmen, preparing to return to the west of the moraine to resume their lives.

Chen Xuanli, the general of the Longwu Army, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to send the Anxi athletes out of the city with 100 officials and 800 Longwu army knights.

In the backyard of the Fufeng County Palace, Mi Xue and Yang Youniang watched as twenty or thirty women of various ethnic groups took simple luggage and squeezed into a few dilapidated carriages that were used for shopping on weekdays.

In order to hide people's eyes, too many carriages cannot be used, although it is extremely crowded, but in a hurry, it is natural that it cannot be taken care of so much.

This time, the Anxi spies came from Mobei, and naturally there was not much gunpowder with them, all of which were left to Yang Youniang, and now the position where they stood at the feet of the two was to buy more than 200 catties of granular gunpowder, and the lead Mi Xue had also been placed, and the location of the ignition was only known to Yang Youniang.

"Send them to the west of the moraine and tell my husband that the young lady will not be able to resist him after all."

The door of the carriage slowly closed, and Yang Youniang bit her lip lightly and said softly.

The Xinghu woman nodded: "I will." - Actually, you don't have to die, if you have the opportunity to escape, you still have to escape. ”

"Huh." Yang Youniang smiled faintly and waved her hand to signal Mi Xue to leave.

Michelle sighed softly. I won't say more. More than a dozen Anxi secret agents pretended to be coachmen and servants, escorted the carriage out of the Fufeng County Palace, and came to the west of Chang'an City.

It didn't take long. The purchased carriage, along with the coachmen and servants, drove the heavy carriage back to Yankangfang, and it seemed that they had purchased a lot of things. At the same time, a convoy of Hu merchants slowly left Anyuan Gate and headed west.

Chang'an City is now unfortified, and the Hu merchants still come and go every day, so no one pays attention to this ordinary caravan. In the Fufeng County Palace, the daily activities of those concubines are limited to the backyard, which is the forbidden place of the Fufeng County Palace. Although there are twenty or thirty fewer people at one time, naturally no one will find out.

A few dilapidated carriages returned to the backyard of the county king's mansion, and all the people retreated. Yang Youniang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw the Xinghu woman coming out of the carriage: "Aren't you going back to the west?" ”

Michelle shook her head and said softly, "I'm here to preside over the affairs of Anxi's secret agents here. So this time the general's concubine was escorted back by someone else, and I had to stay here. ”

Yang Youniang sighed. He nodded slightly.

Mi Xue looked at Yang Youniang and said, "Originally, I was in Chang'an. You shouldn't let Madame know. When I come to see my wife again, it can be regarded as my own opinion. I want to tell my wife not to rush to death, and not to detonate gunpowder until the time comes. Madame can live, the general is always happy. ”

Yang Youniang stared at the Xinghu woman and nodded slightly: "So...... Thank you very much. ”

The Xinghu woman smiled generously, and did not go to the gate again, but went out directly along the courtyard wall.

Yang Youniang was silent for a long time and regained her spirits. Begin to take care of the daily affairs of the county king's mansion. She also stopped looking for the source of the rumors for the time being, looking at this Xinghu woman and her husband, they already knew who was making trouble. The twenty or thirty women had just been sent away. The Fufeng County Mansion should be kept calm, so as to avoid suspicion from those who have a heart, so that they can leave calmly.

Although she had already made up her mind to die, the words of the Xinghu woman just now still made her feel a lot more at ease. Until the last resort, she naturally will not choose to die, and she still wants to spend more time with her man.

……

His Majesty still has no news, and the city of Chang'an is still calm on the surface. The discussion of General Ma's merits and deeds is even more intense, and every day there are literati who fight because of different opinions. And as time passed, more and more people understood something from His Royal Highness the Prince's edict, and under the calm water, the undercurrent became more intense.

More and more people began to realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant to put the knives and guns into the warehouse, and the horses were put in Nanshan. In other words, it's time for the rabbit to cook the dead dog.

The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, in the annals of the past and present, I don't know how many such things have happened. There have always been very few heroes who can get a good death.

Fortunately, His Majesty is a rare benevolent monarch, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most filial person, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally not kill the heroes, but it is inevitable to find something like cutting off the official and winning the title.

Among the generals of the Northern Expedition, the most likely unlucky one is that everyone is recognized as General Ma. Both those who support and those who oppose General Ma recognize this fact and understand that General Ma will fall from the peak of the Tang Dynasty's power. It's no wonder that General Ma is too powerful, and it is normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be jealous, and it is already a rare blessing to be able to end up as a rich man.

And the second one that was recognized as going to be unlucky, after some discussion among the people of Chang'an City, a consensus was quickly reached. This general is none other than Li Jing, a young general who has won a hundred battles in the Northeast Battlefield in recent years and almost wiped out the two captives in the Northeast.

Li Jing's subordinates are mostly the children of Liangjing, and he is also the pride of the people of Chang'an, although General Ma is also a child of Chang'an, but because his subordinates are all soldiers of the western part of the country, the people of Chang'an are even more inclined to Li Jing emotionally. However, after objective analysis, everyone thinks that Li Jing is going to be unlucky this time. Some people even assert that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be good to General Ma, but Li Jing, who has an unstable foundation, will definitely not end well.

The reason is very simple, although Li Jing is loved by His Majesty and called my family's hero, he has an extremely embarrassing identity, he is the descendant of Prince Zhang Huai. With His Majesty's style and mind, it is natural to watch him make achievements, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot watch a royal son of noble blood with heavy troops on the border, because that would be the most serious threat to his power.

The people of Chang'an City were extremely sorry, but there was no way. No matter how benevolent the prince is, he can't watch the descendants of Li Xian, the prince of Zhang Huai, hold heavy troops. Those who have children in the Pinglu army began to worry about their own children, hoping that their children would not be involved in this matter and suffer unjustified disasters.

Of course, at this time, the crown prince Li Heng and Zhang Xun's attention had not yet been paid to Li Jing, and they were still looking at Ma Ling. Compared with Ma Lan, Li Jing is too insignificant to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty at all. Moreover, Li Heng's primary purpose now is to find his father, and he has no intention of becoming emperor for the time being, since he is not ready to ascend the throne for the time being, he naturally has no intention of attacking Li Jing at this time.

Regarding these comments about Li Jing, Zhang Xun and Li Heng didn't take it seriously. However, Li Jing is a learned Ma Lan in everything, and he also has a lot of doormen in Chang'an City, so after such discussions came out, some doormen immediately wrote secret letters about the content of the prince's edict and people's discussions combined with their own judgments, and sent people to Pinglu to hand them over to Li Jing. As for what kind of changes Mixin can bring to the Tang Empire in the end, this is a later story.

……

Lao Wan, the captain of the Longwu Military Academy, had just arrived at Hongyayi with his subordinates, and met Wang Mingyun before he officially entered the west of the city, and then rushed back with Wang Mingyun's handwriting, so it didn't take long to come back.

On the way back, they gradually met the follow-up six teams of messengers, Lao Wan told them what Wang Mingyun had discovered, and let them choose to go back to Chang'an or continue to go to Tingzhou, but these messengers were all obedient, none of them were willing to continue to go to Tingzhou, all of them followed Lao Wan and them, and accompanied Lao Wan back to Chang'an to report the news.

The leading lieutenants of these six groups of envoys are all old fritters like Lao Wan, and they have some kung fu in their hands, but they have not reached the level of Wang Mingyun. They all have families and families in Chang'an, and they have always been extremely desperate for their lives, so they naturally refuse to risk their lives, and they follow Lao Wan to send the information back to Chang'an City, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

In this way, after Lao Wan crossed the Hexi Corridor, the number of Chang'an children who came back together reached thirty or forty. Along the way, there were also guys who relied on the old and sold the old, and wanted Lao Wan to hand over the secret letter to them for safekeeping, where did Lao Wan pay attention to them, and when he was in a hurry, he directly pulled out the knife and put on a desperate posture, so those guys were silent.

Just kidding, without this secret letter, not only is there no merit, but not going to Tingzhou according to the prince's will is a big crime, and it is a matter of life and fortune, this is not a joke. Wang Mingyun was met by him first, this letter is naturally his, and the rest of the people will follow with a little light, how can it be possible to take his first credit?

Along the way, the wind and dust have been non-stop, and Lao Wan has not worked so hard since joining the Dragon Martial Army. In the end, the two thighs were worn out of shape, and the clothes could not be removed from the flesh and blood. Not only Lao Wan is like this, but other Chang'an children are also like this, although they are cavalry, how can they have such a desperate experience. However, for the sake of credit, everyone gritted their teeth and worked hard.

Finally seeing the majestic walls of Chang'an City again, Lao Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his legs did not obey the call and almost fell off the horse. barely stabilized his body on the horse, reached out to touch it in his arms, Wang Mingyun's handwriting was still there, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face to make himself look more embarrassed, and dozens of other Chang'an disciples were all concocted in the same way. They were already working extremely hard, and it seemed that they were even harder. As soon as the horse took the lead, a group of people sat on the horseback with a painful face, desperately urging the war horse to run towards Chang'an City.

……

"One person killed dozens of Persian warriors, the Persians are tall and physical, and they are not easy to get along with - what is the origin of this Wang Mingyun?" Li Heng, the crown prince of the prison state, put down the secret letter and looked at Chen Xuanli, the general of the Longwu Army. (To be continued......)
