There are only more than 20 of Ye Chang's entourage, but these more than 20 are all elites in the Jili State Army.

The most important thing is that after two years of being together, there is no doubt about the loyalty of these more than 20 people to Ye Chang. Mo said that it was just some soldiers, even if it was Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, if they wanted to kill Ye Chang, they would all come forward to stop him.

Therefore, they suddenly unsheathed their swords, and their eyebrows and eyes were raised, and they looked murderous.

Ye Chang waved his hand and sneered.

The group of soldiers surrounded him, and Ye Chang raised his voice and said, "Who is the leader, come forward and speak"

An officer in soap silk armor stepped forward and said with a smile, "I've seen Ye Sima." ”

"Who are you, and what do you mean?"

"Below is Zhuang Tan, the captain of the Zuo Longwu Military Academy, because he heard that Ye Sima had returned to Beijing for meritorious service, and he was ordered to come to escort him."

Captain of the Left Longwu Military Academy

The Zuo Long Wu Army belongs to the Northern Ya, it is a branch of the Li Tang Forbidden Army, and now the actual controller is Gao Lishi. Ye Chang's brows were furrowed, and even the Zuolong Martial Army was mobilized, this momentum was really not small.

originally thought that Colliers was being a wall-weed, but now it seems that he is not a wall-weed, but has already made a choice.

After being silent for a while, Ye Chang arched his hand and said, "I'm tired." ”

"Don't dare, Ye Sima's achievements in Liaodong are highly admired." Zhuang Tan smiled and said: "Although the lowly post is ordered to come here, it is also willing, and there are many brothers in the camp who envy the lowly position." ”

This man speaks smoothly, not like a military general, but more like a bureaucrat who has been rolling in the officialdom for a long time. Although Ye Chang didn't like it in his heart, he coped with a few words on his face, and then entered the mansion by himself.

Zhuang Tan was not annoyed, he laughed twice outside the door, and the soldiers around him were a little puzzled when they saw him like this: "Why is the captain laughing, this Ye Sima has such a big temper"

"Why did I get this mission, so that others could only watch?" Zhuang Tan asked with a smile.

The soldier secretly slandered in his heart, it was nothing more than a tall man among the dwarfs, and some of the skills in the forbidden army had gone to the border army to make meritorious contributions, and the rest were either wine bags and rice bags or shelf goods with no appearance, so it was Zhuang Tan's turn to come. However, he said: "That's because Captain Zhuang is valued by the general." ”

"That's the reason for slapping the sycophants, it's just that everyone knows that I'm a measured person." Zhuang Tan smiled: "Is it easy for you to be the envoy this time? ”

"What's so difficult, the one in this house has angered the saint, and the best result is also a demotion to an official, maybe it will be imprisonment, and it may be impossible to say if he has his head cut off."

"Nonsense" Zhuang Tan snorted: "You boys, think about it a little longer, if that's the case, where do you want to move our Dragon Martial Army?" It is true that Ye Sima is angry with the saint, but apart from Ye Sima, who else can send hundreds of thousands of yuan to the saint every year into the inner treasury? Don't forget, we are also the envoys of the Inner Treasury for the cost of the forbidden army."

"What does the captain mean?"

"This Ye Sima, don't look at the current situation is not good, but not only can we not offend, but we also have to flatter him to improve his financial management skills, what if he is frustrated for a while, sooner or later it will be of great use. When the time comes, maybe our reward will depend on this Ye Sima."

"I see, the captain is wise" The soldier patted wildly, but he was thinking in his heart: No wonder Fang Cai's battle style did not scare Ye Chang, presumably he also knew in his heart, even if he made the saint unhappy, the saint would let him go in his ability to make money.

Zhuang Tan's voice was not small, so through the door panel, the people in the courtyard also heard it.

"It's said that you listened to me, and you want to make friends." Ye Chang smiled faintly and said straight to the kind man with a puzzled face.

What Zhuang Tan said outside the door should be to listen to him, not only to show his distress, but also to leak a little news to Ye Chang: Although some people want to embarrass him, it is only embarrassing, not really what to do to him, at least he doesn't have to worry about his life.

Not long after he returned to his residence, Cen Shen led the Fifth Qi over there and rushed over with interest. Cen Shen was very happy that he had completed his task, and Fifth Qi was also very excited to think about some of the "economic" discussions he had heard from Cen Shen. But when the two arrived in front of Ye Chang's house, when they saw the sergeant standing at the door, Cen Shen didn't think that the fifth Qi was holding him back.

"What's wrong?"

"The soldiers at the gate are forbidden soldiers, no matter how favored Ye Sima is by the saint, he will not let the forbidden army stand guard for him, not to mention, this is not a few forbidden soldiers who serve as honor guards, you see...... At the front door alone, there were dozens of people, not looking like guards, but like ...... Siege"

Fifth Qi has been in Chang'an for a long time, and has experienced Wei Jian's affairs, so he is no stranger to this situation, and his expression is solemn. Cen Shen listened to his explanation, and suddenly felt excited: "No...... How so

He just didn't pay attention to it, but now when he observes it carefully, he knows that the judgment of the Fifth Qi of the Dao is correct. Fifth Qi glanced at him, saw that he was quite frightened, and sighed and said, "It seems that this Ye Sima ...... I'm afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of Wei Gong. ”

"Impossible, Ye Sima is thoughtful, everything is predicted, when he was in Liaodong, he asked us to prepare a plan for all kinds of possible emergencies" Cen Shen shook his head vigorously: "How to say in the plan in such a situation......

The plan is a countermeasure that Ye Chang vigorously promoted in Liaodong. He knew that he was not an immortal who had no last resort, and he was repeatedly calculated by Li Linfu, Huangfu Weiming, Gao Lishi and others, and even when facing Lu Qi, who was still a little naïve now, he was repeatedly calculated by others, so he drew up plans for all kinds of possible emergencies and extended them to his rule in Liaodong.

Just panicked for a moment, Cen Shen calmed down, and he thought of a plan, which was drawn up by Ye Chang before the battle with the Khitans, that is, how to deal with the military situation when it was unfavorable. There was an unfavorable situation in that plan, which was what to do with those who were besieged and what to do with those outside the encirclement when a small force was surrounded by enemy forces.

"No, it's not like Wei Jian's arrest" After calming down, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fifth Duke, you see, although these soldiers are surrounding the Ye Mansion, they have no sign of attacking the house at all, and they are not nervous at all, obviously they don't think that there will be a fight, and they don't think that the people in the house will escape."

Fifth Qi also noticed this, and seeing that Cen Shen reacted so quickly and regained his composure, he praised it. Hearing his praise, Cen Shen couldn't help blushing, and said humbly: "If I don't have this determination, I have experienced many things in Liaodong and made a variety of deductions, as long as I can calm down, I can naturally see the situation clearly, and then find a way to deal with it."

"Although it is not a raid, it is also surrounded, Cen Gong, what should I do now?"

"Since it's not a house raid, the situation is not so urgent, I'll inquire first." Cen Shen hesitated for a moment, and bowed his hand to the fifth Qi: "I went to Liaodong with Ye Sima, and returned to Chang'an with him, I think many people know about it, and I also asked the fifth prince to go over and ask what happened." The Fifth Duke and Ye Sima have never had any dealings, so they will not arouse suspicion. ”

Fifth Qi Ha Lu Ha smiled, and did not shirk, he strode forward, straight to the face of those Dragon Martial Army sergeants

"Please, everybody." He clenched his fists and arched his hands: "This mansion is a big man's mansion, I didn't see you when I passed by yesterday, why did you come today?" ”

Those dragon warrior sergeants all looked at Zhuang Tan, Zhuang Tan frowned, and touched his chin suspiciously: "Who is Lang Jun, why do you ask this?" ”

"A certain scholar also, the sage has a will, to summon the world to pass through the arts and above into Beijing as an alternative, a certain reason to come here, want to pay homage to the nobles, but I don't know who is in this house?"

The scholars who entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination and selection took their own articles to confess, such things happened every day in Chang'an City, and almost all the celebrities and scholars have done it for more than 100 years.

In the first month of this year, Li Longji, who had been neglecting political affairs for a long time, suddenly issued an edict ordering those who are above one art in the world to enter Beijing as candidates, probably because he wanted to play a meritocracy, and this edict introduced many people into Chang'an City.

"I see...... If you come to this house, I'm afraid you're going the wrong way, Ye Gong is a border minister, not a member of the court, Ha Lu Ha ......."

"It's not a member of the court, you are a forbidden army, the Son of Heaven is a personal guard, how can you be here?" Fifth Qi was surprised: "The general doesn't want to coax me, I'm just delivering the article, and I won't disturb the nobles." If you are lucky enough to be appreciated by the nobles, it can be regarded as a good fate with the general. ”

He can speak, Zhuang Tanha laughed, and said in his heart that this guy looks like a clever man, even so, he really should have a good relationship with him, anyway, there is nothing to hide from the intention of himself and others. At that moment, Zhuang said frankly: "Lang Jun has a heart, this Ye Sima has made great contributions at the border pass, this time I entered Beijing, and let us escort it, one is to protect its safety, and the other is to show its momentum." Since Lang Jun is a scholar, he should have heard of Ye Sima? ”

"Ye Sima of Liaodong, I have heard it, I have heard it, but I never thought that he would be so trusted by the Son of Heaven...... That being the case, I have to come here to confess. It's just that I didn't bring an article today, and when I come back tomorrow, I would like to ask you to make it convenient."

Zhuang Tan smiled and agreed, anyway, the order they got was not to let Ye Chang leave their surveillance, and they didn't say that Ye Chang was not allowed to pass on the news to the outside.

Fifth Qi returned to Cen Shen's side, listened to all the questions and answers with him, and then said with a smile: "Cen Gong is not bad, it seems that so far, Ye Sima is still in danger." Cen Gong Ke has something to say, and tomorrow I will take the opportunity to send it to Yu Yu and send it in together. ”

"I have the fifth duke, but I didn't expect that I originally asked the fifth duke to go to Liaodong to help, but I was tired in Chang'an." Cen Shen was a little ashamed: "It's really a bad time." ”

"Ye Sima sneaked back to Chang'an this time, what is the reason?" Fifth Qi asked curiously.

"Why......

Cen participated in the fifth Qi to explain the reason why Ye Chang put down Liaodong and ran back to Chang'an, but at the same time, Ye Chang smiled in the house.

"What are you laughing at, those soldiers outside, they say nicely, but they are clearly here to monitor and detain us." Shanzhi said: "But this level of surveillance is useless, we can get out of the wall tonight"

"No need, if you really want to do it to us, you will do it just now, even when we are in Li Linfu's mansion." Ye Chang said: "Li Linfu is going out now, and he is riding hundreds of steps to clear the street, and it is not easy to arrest a few of us in the house." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It seems that someone is fanning the flames, someone is adding fuel to the fire, someone is watching from the other side, and someone is pushing the boat along the river." Ye Chang squinted his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that our Li Xianggong is also evaluating how much ability I still have."

It is not difficult for Ye Chang to get out, as Shanzhi said, walking over the wall at night, those Longwu soldiers who are used to being pampered in Chang'an City will definitely not be able to keep an eye on him, coupled with Ye Chang's various arrangements before, he can rush to Dengzhou before the order wanted by the imperial court arrives, and then escape back to Liaodong by boat. But such a price is too high, at least the sister-in-law Fang Shi, who is still in Wolong Valley, has nephews and nieces, so it is difficult to bring them back to Liaodong.

And this is a last resort to take the last resort, and now Ye Chang still has a chance to turn the situation around.

When Ye Chang was thinking about how to reverse the current situation, in a corner of Chang'an City, in Yang Zhao's mansion, Yang Zhao sent away the servant who delivered the news in front of him, and let out a long sigh.

He was followed by his eldest son, Yang Xuan, and when he heard him sigh, he spoke: "Why is my lord sighing? ”

"Ye Shiyi is in trouble this time." Yang Zhao sighed: "Thinking of my friendship with him in the past, I feel quite emotional. ”

"My lord said so...... Why don't you help Ye Shiyi? Yang Xuan is getting older, and now he has begun to follow Yang Zhao to receive people and things, he is a little close to Ye Chang in his heart, because every time Ye Chang gives Yang Zhao a gift, he always has to give him a share. It can be said that Ye Chang was the first to treat him as an adult, so he was also willing to lend a hand to this "uncle" who was not much older than himself: "Adults treat people with righteousness first, and when Ye Shiyi is in trouble, adults watch the fire from the other side, which seems to be inappropriate." ”

"You're still young, you don't know what's going on, let's wait and see." Yang Zhao said.

Before the words fell, there was a bang in the inner room, and there was the sound of something falling to the ground, and before Yang Zhao could react, he saw his wife Pei Shi coming over angrily.

"What else are you waiting for, Yang Zhao, do you know that you have spent as much as a thousand yuan this month, if it weren't for the fact that I also got some dividends in the Andong Chamber of Commerce, how could you have such a good life? Ye Shiyi is down, who can bring the Anton Chamber of Commerce to profit? Pei Shi said fiercely.

Yang Xuan shrank his neck and slipped away suddenly, Yang Zhao suddenly lost his face, and felt that his husband was depressed.

The next morning, Fifth Qi and Cen Shen arrived in front of Ye Chang's house again, but after arriving here, they were surprised to find that the Sergeant of the Long Wu Army, who was originally in front of the door, was gone.

Where did these sergeants go?
