The guards waiting by Luoshui were not surprised that Ye Chang came with a person in his arms.

These guards were very loyal to him, and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

"Get on board." Ye Changdao.

There was already a boat moored on the shore, pretending to be a fishing boat, and after they got on the boat, the boat went to the middle of Luoshui, and after a while, they arrived at the south shore of Luoshui.

There was a carriage waiting on the south bank, Ye Chang woke up Concubine Mei, and said in a low voice: "You have your own clothes in the car, you can change it, and we will protect you." ”

At this time, the moon was already skewed, and Concubine Mei raised her eyes to look at Ye Chang, which was not very real in the haze. There was a candlestick in the carriage, she changed her clothes under the candlelight, Ye Chang asked her to blow out the candle, and then the carriage began to move forward.

Concubine Mei stayed in the car, although she didn't know where she was or where the car was going, but she was very peaceful in her heart, and she only felt that she had never been so safe since she was sensible.

Before she knew it, she was hugging the blanket and fell asleep.

The carriage passed through Luoyang City at about dawn and arrived at the edge of Luoshui. Ye Chang's plan was to board the big boat here, and then let the boat go downstream, meet with Xiu Wulai's sister-in-law and sister-in-law in Wuzhi, and then go east to the sea. His original plan was to go back to Xiuwu, but now that the war has started, it is important to go to Liaodong first

It was dark and there were no pedestrians on the road, so they looked down the river to find a boat. only to find that there was a scream in the distance, and there seemed to be a sound of shouting.

Ye Chang's heart moved, this is not a normal sound, this is the outskirts of Luoyang, although it is deserted, but it is not completely empty, how can this kind of sound come?

"Go and see," he commanded.

Among the entourage, a horse was divided and quickly moved forward, and after a while, he saw a person running desperately in this direction. Dozens of paces behind the man, seven or eight people were chasing.

"Help, help," cried the man who ran.

Ye Chang still had a noble concubine hidden in the car, he didn't want to make trouble, but he heard the voice called for help a little familiar, and he thought for a while, and couldn't help showing a strange look on his face.

It turned out to be a big acquaintance

The man saw the light of the torch running towards this side, and the closer he ran, he saw that there were five or six horsemen guarding a carriage here, and immediately shouted: "I am an official of the imperial court, and behind me is a strong man, thank you for saving me......

When the pursuer behind him saw the figure here, he immediately stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to leave.

Before leaving, someone sneered from afar: "It's your luck, but you can't get out, when you get to Haidong, you look better."

The fugitive ran to the carriage, he didn't pay attention to Ye Chang who was hidden behind the carriage, but said that the carriage was the master of the trip. Along the way, he even used the strength to feed, so he fell to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath like a bellows.

After a long time, he got up and bowed to the carriage: "Thank you for saving me, if I hadn't met you, I would have died."

After receiving Ye Chang's signal, Bian Ping stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Since Lang Jun is an official of the imperial court, how can he have no retinue around him, and who dares to pursue Lang Jun?" ”

"I went to take office, and there were only two long-term followers by my side, all of whom were harmed by thieves" The person who fled for his life relaxed at this time, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "The one who harmed me, Xiuwu Ye Chang, the dog thief, is also"

As soon as these words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at these people in front of him, he found that they were all cold-eyed, as if they were about to get angry.

"Ahem." Ye Chang coughed lightly, urging the horse to come out from behind the carriage and come to this person.

Ye Chang was on the horse, this person was on the ground, he raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Ye Chang in despair.

Li Xiao.

The one who staged the battle royale in the morning was Li Shizhi's son, Ye Chang's old enemy, and the new recorder of Jili Prefecture joined the army, Li Xiao.

After recognizing Ye Chang, Li Xiao's legs weakened, and then he sat down.

"You...... You ......"

"It seems that there are a lot of people who want you to die." Ye Chang laughed slowly: "However, acting in my name is a bit too much." ”

"No, it's not you?" Thinking of Fang Cairen's words when he retreated, Li Xiao finally didn't get stupid and looked at Ye Chang: "Fang Cai's ...... Not someone you sent? ”

"When you arrive in Liaodong, I have a thousand ways to leave you dead without a place to be buried." Ye Chang pouted: "Why bother so much?"

Li Xiao's mouth opened and squirmed a few times, but he didn't know what to say. Seeing that his eyes were full of doubts, Ye Chang knew that Lu Dao, this idiot was only afraid and didn't know who Lu Dao was going to kill him.

As Ye Chang just said, Li Xiao acted in a high-profile manner when he was in Chang'an, and he may have offended others, so someone wanted to take his life, which had nothing to do with Ye Chang. But the person who wanted to harm Li Xiao claimed to be from "Haidong", the so-called Haidong also refers to the Liaodong part at this time, so the other party obviously saw that the assassination was unsuccessful, so he wanted to blame Ye Chang, but he didn't expect to be met by Ye Chang himself.

"It's not you...... Who will it be? Li Xiao said blankly.

Ye Chang ignored him and snorted: "Give way"

Li Xiao involuntarily got out of the way, watching Ye Chang and the others leave with the car, his heart was full of doubts. After Ye Chang walked a little farther, he suddenly remembered that the assassin just now gave up the assassination only when he saw Ye Chang and his party, if the assassin made a comeback and Ye Chang was not around, what should he do?

"Ye Sima, Ye Sima, wait for me, wait for me" Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and chased after Ye Chang.

Ye Chang and his entourage were either riding horses or riding carriages, and the speed was much faster than when he ran, and he drove behind him for a while, but he saw Ye Chang and the others getting farther and farther away. Fear set in, and the thought that the Assassin would reappear at any moment turned his cry into a wail.

"Bian Ping, what do you think should be done with this matter?" Ye Chang asked Bian Ping.

Although this person is vulgar and unliterate, he has a shrewd temperament and has the ambition to climb up the ranks, and Ye Chang also intends to cultivate him and make him his own dagger.

"Use this as bait to lure out the Assassins." Bian Ping is concise and authentic.

"And then?"

"Remove this man by the hand of the Assassin, and then bring the Assassin to ...... Rope ......"

"Bring him to justice, you have to learn it well, don't even be able to say an idiom." Ye Chang smiled: "That being the case, I will leave three people with you, and you will act when you have the opportunity."

"Yes"

Ye Chang brought a total of a few guards, and after sending four people, only he, the groom and another guard remained. By this time, however, he was not far from his destination, and it was not long before he saw their large ship anchored on the shore.

"Ye Ting, you bring a team of people to pick up Bian Ping, with him as the main ...... Remember, let him act on the opportunity. Seeing Ye Ting on the shore, Ye Chang ordered.

Ye Ting responded and obeyed the order, Ye Chang went to Concubine Mei's car and called out, and found that all kinds of things along the way, the former favorite concubine still slept very soundly. He couldn't help but shake his head, it was not good to leave this matter to others, so he got into the car, covered Concubine Mei's head and face with a cloth, and carried her onto the boat.

During the whole process, Concubine Mei still slept soundly.

When she woke up, she found herself swaying slightly, as if she was on a boat. She got up, but saw a man who looked like a maid napping there, and when she heard the voice, the maid woke up: "Lady, are you awake?" ”

"Where is this?" She asked.

"Luoshui, lady, you are hungry, fine rice porridge was prepared in the kitchen, and you fell asleep when it was served, so it was put in the food box."

This maid was a little silly, and her words were very trivial, Concubine Mei listened to her, occasionally interjected two sentences, and then pulled out all her details.

The handmaiden was just an ordinary servant maid, who had only been bought yesterday and brought on board. Ye Chang chose such a person to serve her, which can be regarded as attentive.

After eating the bowl of porridge, Concubine Mei picked up the book on the cabinet beside her, which was a very beautifully printed collection of poems of the times. After a while, Concubine Mei heard the sound of laughter outside, it was several men talking, and one of them was Ye Chang.

"That's the way it is, Ye Ting took people and was waiting for them to come back. If that group of assassins still attacked, they would definitely be able to find out who was behind the scenes" That was Ye Chang's voice.

"I never thought I would find such things on the way...... It's really a coincidence, Li Xiao looked at Shiyi Lang at that time, and his expression must be very exciting" This voice Concubine Mei felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it, it should be the Cen Shen who was following Ye Chang.

Cen Shen and Zhang Hao didn't know that Ye Chang went to Shangyang Palace at night, they stayed in Luoyang, and went east by boat in the morning to meet Ye Chang. As for what Ye Chang was going to do, they tacitly didn't ask.

Ye Ting and the others walked forward according to Ye Chang's direction, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with Bian Ping.

"Where's that?" Ye Ting asked.

"Right ahead." Bian Ping smiled flatteringly: "It's even annoying to support Langjun, and the lord also attaches too much importance to that guy." ”

"You're used to being fancy...... When the Lord commanded me to come, he said, "Let me obey you, and let you see what you want, and if there is any change, you can do whatever you want." ”

"As far as I can see, that group of assassins won't be killed halfway through in a short period of time, and the most likely thing is to keep an eye on this guy." Bian Ping said a few polite words, and when he saw that Ye Ting really let him make up his mind, he smiled and said: "This little idea, the lord must be aware of it......"

"Bian Ping, Lang Jun entrusts things to you, and concentrating on doing things well is the greatest flattery, it's useless to say this kind of thing" Ye Ting couldn't stand his three sentences and didn't leave Ye Chang's ass, so he sighed and said.

"That's, that'...... This guy is cowardly, if I were him and couldn't catch up with the lord, there was only one way, to report to the official. This place is not far from Luoyang, he must have returned to Luoyang to report to the official, and then came down to inspect the scene under the escort of the errand guards. After all, he is a criminal official, and with this excuse, he can just stay in Tuyan and not go to Liaodong to take up his post. ”

Although this guy is from a humble background, he is a good hand at figuring out people's hearts, hearing him say this, Ye Ting admires Ye Chang even more in his heart - when this guy came to take refuge, he was just a down-and-out fisherman, and it was difficult to support his family, Ye Chang knew people with his eyes, and arranged him to Wu Dahai and others, thinking about how to deal with these Haikou all day long, and he had experienced it in most of the year.

"And what shall we do?"

"Just a few of us, he has seen it, among the people you brought, have you never met this guy?"

"Yes." Most of the people led by Ye Ting lived in the small village outside Chang'an City, and they had never met Li Xiao.

Bian Ping pointed out three people from it and muttered a few words in a low voice, those people smiled and gave him a thumbs up, and Ye Ting couldn't help but pat him on the back: "You are yin damage"

Li Xiao didn't catch up with Ye Chang and his party, and stayed on the road alone, his heart full of fear. He did not dare to move forward, because if he went any further, he would return to the old path where he was hunted and killed, and it was very likely that he would encounter the Assassin again. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and headed in the direction of Luoyang City.

"Whether it was Ye Chang's work or not, my assassination is always true, before the assassin is apprehended, I should not go to Liaodong again, I want to be here...... Yes, that's exactly how it should be, Haluha, and in that case, thanks to the Assassins

Thinking that he could use the assassination as an excuse not to go to Liaodong, Li Xiao's fear in his heart turned into joy, and he even complained to himself a little bit, why didn't he think of this earlier. If you had thought about it a long time ago, you would not have been as worried and afraid as you are now.

He walked in the direction of Luoyang with one foot deep and one foot shallow, at this time there were already pedestrians on the road, and Li Xiao's hanging heart gradually let go, in his opinion, those assassins would never be so bold to assassinate in broad daylight.

But as he walked, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he looked back at six men in strong suits. Worried, he avoided the road, but the men smirked at him.

"Huh?" Li Xiao saw that the other party was driving a horse over, and it was obvious that he was coming for him, so he turned around and ran away in a hurry. But where he could outrun the horse with his feet, he was caught up in an instant, and one of them reached out and lifted him up and laid him straight across the horse's back.

"I thought that the gang would save this guy, but I never thought that it would be better to leave this guy alone, lest we need to find another opportunity, kill him earlier, and solve the trouble in the Lord's heart." The man who captured him said with a smile.

"That's natural, whoever encounters such a thing before the day is full of light will not be nosy

"There were people on the road, they took this guy to the woods, and after they were done, they buried it on the spot."

Hearing these terrible words, Li Xiao immediately wanted to shout for help, but before he opened his mouth, a piece of cloth was plugged and his mouth was firmly blocked.

He could only watch in panic as the pedestrian left the official road, onto the south-facing path, and gradually walked towards the hill in the distance. Although there were already pedestrians on the official road at this time, the path was still empty, the morning star was still in the distance, and the eastern sky was only white. This may be his last morning, Li Xiao's heart is full of desolation, he began to hate this world, hate Ye Chang, hate his father, and hate those who sit back and watch his father and son suffer and ignore it.
