Although it was Qiu Yizhi who wanted to save Dai Luanxiang's family from the capital, Dai Luanxiang's skill far exceeded everyone's imagination, but it was the old lady who was close to the ancient age who took the lead and led everyone to the Ximing Gate.

Ximing Gate is the main road for several business travelers in the western part of the Han Dynasty to and from the capital, and there are many people entering and leaving the city, and the imperial court is now at war with the prince of Youyan, so the entry and exit inspections are also more careful and strict. In this way, it is not uncommon for a long queue to line up in front of the Ximing Gate to go out of the city.

At this time, it was ten o'clock in late autumn, and the cold wind carried the fallen leaves all over the street, blowing people cold for a while.

Dai's mother has such a long queue out of the city, if her people line up to go out of the city according to the rules and order, there will be an hour, let alone an hour, I am afraid that the news will have leaked by then, and the court will send a large army to capture her, but she will never be able to get out again.

Thinking of this, Dai Mu gently clamped the horse's belly with her legs, drove the horse past the winding procession, and walked until she reached the gate of Ximing to stop the horse.

The merchant travelers in front of the pass, seeing an old lady wearing a military uniform and riding a horse galloping, they felt very strange, and saw that she was wearing a richly decorated phoenix crown on her head, which was even more rare, so they listened to the old lady say to the guards one by one: "The old body wants to go out of the city, quickly open the city gate for me!" ”

The soldier looked childish, not knowing whether he was loyal to his duty or didn't know Dai's mother's identity at all, so he replied: "Please go back and line up, there is no rule for cutting the queue here." "It's kind of in words.

"Hmph, there's no such rule? Do you know who I am? Dai's mother put on a stand with Mrs. Command, "Who is the thousand you are on duty today?" ”

"It's Li Duofu, Master Li. How? The old lady has something to do with him? The soldier replied.

Dai's mother snorted: "Oh, it turned out to be Xiaoduozi!" Go and call him! When she saw the soldier standing still, she simply shouted to herself, "Is Xiao Duozi here?" The old widow of the Dai family is here! ”

As soon as the words fell, an officer in the uniform of the captain came out of nowhere, and when he raised his eyes and saw Dai's mother here, he bowed his head and said: "Oh, it turns out that the old lady is here, why don't you send a personal report, and the little one will come out to greet you!" ”

Dai Mu said lightly: "Your little duozi was a member of my old man's personal soldiers back then, and it was not once or twice that he followed the dog to send troops and release horses. But now that you are the official of the court, how dare I, an old widow, come to support you at every turn? Get up and speak! "Dai's mother is in her prime, and if she puts up her qualifications, it is indeed enough to bluff people.

Mr. Qian got up and smiled awkwardly: "Old lady, where are you talking about this?" If it weren't for the cultivation of the old lady and Marshal Dai, how could I be where I am today? The old lady has something to instruct, send someone over to say a body, and the last general will not quickly ask for advice? ”

Dai Mu showed a smile and said: "It is said that you can speak well, and these words are quite good." Today, my old woman feels in good spirits and wants to take her two grandchildren out of the city to play and play. ”

Then Li Duofu said with a sad face: "If it is placed in normal times, the old lady will dismantle this Ximing Gate, and the small one will also help you repair it." But now this situation, the old lady is afraid that he also knows. In case something happens, the little one can't afford it, and I ask the old lady to be considerate. ”

Dai Mu twisted her neck and said, "What is the situation now?" How did I not know? The old body was sealed by the imperial court, why can't you get out of your little Ximing Gate? ”

Li Duofu smiled and weighed his words: "Old lady, this is a joke." Recently, there have been rumors in the imperial court that it is Marshal Dai...... Right? So, the old lady can't just do that......"

Dai's mother argued with him again: "What, this, that? Why is my old woman becoming more and more incomprehensible? ”

Li Duofu's face was embarrassed, and he was about to open his mouth to explain, but Qiu Yizhi grabbed him at this time, took out the token of Quanshan Si from his arms, and shook it in front of Li Duofu and said: "Quanshan Si wants to go to the city with the old lady to do business." How? Still going through you can't do it? ”

Li Duofu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Dai's mother.

Dai Mu said: "That's right, I heard that there have been some gossips around the dog recently, and the old body just wants to persuade him not to be bewitched by traitors." ”

Li Duofu listened to it and thought: It is spreading in the capital today, saying that the former army Marshal Dai had an affair with King Youyan, and the emperor was about to dispose of him; And this Marshal Dai is the most filial person, and it is not unexpected for the court to ask the old lady to personally come out and persuade a few words.

Since the matter is in line with the left and right, Li Duofu naturally has no reason to stop it, so he said a few more words, dodged a way, and let Qiu Yizhi and the others leave Ximingmen.

Qiu Yizhi, Dai Mu and a group of six people bypassed Luoyang and went all the way to the west day and night.

The Dai family is behind the gate, Dai Luanxiang's son Dai Song and daughter Dai Yinping are skilled in arching horses, so naturally there is nothing to say, but this Dai mother is still in good shape, riding on the horse and galloping non-stop, not falling behind a few young people, and she does not see that she is close to the age of the ancient.

Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but be curious when she saw it, so she chatted with this old lady. Only then did I know:

It turned out that this Dai mother was originally from a martial arts family in Shanxi Road, and she also had a lot of contacts with Wei Chi's family.

At that time, Dai Luanxiang's father sent troops to fight the Turks in Hetao, but he was defeated in a battle, and was seriously injured and was pursued by the Turks. At this time, Dai's mother, who was still in the prime of her life, followed her uncle back to her hometown, and when she saw that the court officers were being chased and killed by the Turks, she came to the rescue, and led the martial arts people to help the court kill all the Turkic cavalry.

The emperor at that time saw that this was a good story, so he simply gave marriage to these two people, and gave Dai Mu the title of a pin, at that time Dai Luanxiang's father was just a general from the third rank of the expedition to the north!

Therefore, this group of people and horses moved very quickly, and after leaving Beijing, it only took two days to return to the dilapidated Taoist temple that set off at that time.

At this time, three of the cronies and bandits sent out by Qiu Yizhi to find the wounded had already returned with eighteen wounded and sick. The person these two people were looking for was not far away from here, and when they heard the summons of His Highness Yi Qiuyi, they were all grateful, and they followed here without saying a word.

Qiu Yizhi saw that after these days of recuperation, some of them had minor injuries and were unharmed, and some of their seriously injured legs and feet were still a little inconvenient, so he comforted them one by one, and let them recuperate with peace of mind in this Taoist temple.

Two days later, the rest of the fourteen bandits who had been sent out to search for the wounded also returned, and brought back exactly eighty men, except for those who had died of serious wounds shortly after leaving the group. These eighty people were originally Zheng Rong's elite soldiers selected from Youyan's elite soldiers, and there were several thousands of households, just like Shi Wei, who was in charge of the warm tent camp prostitute business in the army, and was also selected because of his lively talk. Most of the rest of the people, Qiu Yizhi has also spoken, or has a one-sided relationship, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.

So Qiu Yizhi's subordinates had two cadres, Wei Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao, eighteen Yunmeng thieves as cronies, and eighty-two of the ninety-eight elite injuries that could be fought, and Dai Mu, Dai Song and Dai Yinping were not among them - it was already a quite capable team.

Despite this, Qiu Yizhi still didn't dare to rest assured, for no other reason, but because when he was in the capital, he had heard from the mouth of the general manager of Quanshan Si Qian, who had been a dead ghost: the imperial court had sent someone to remove Dai Luanxiang from the front line, and then escorted him into Beijing to enter the customs.

If the team escorting Dai Luanxiang slipped under his nose and entered the capital Luoyang, then this painstaking plan would be in vain - not to mention that the plan to defeat the imperial forbidden army in one fell swoop by surrendering Dai Luanxiang would not be able to account for Dai's mother and her two grandchildren.

So Qiu Yizhi ordered eighteen cronies and thieves to choose seven people with clearer minds, and went to the only way to enter Beijing from Tongguan, once Dai Luanxiang's whereabouts were discovered, they should immediately rush back to report, and there could be no delay for a moment. He was still not at ease, and asked Lieutenant Chi Lianghong to issue a heroic order on the rivers and lakes, and anyone who knew Dai Luanxiang's whereabouts should immediately report to the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Although Qiu Yiyuki's deployment is just a matter of facts, it has faintly woven an intelligence network in the region.

Sure enough, after only two or three days, news came from people in the rivers and lakes, saying that the imperial court had replaced Dai Luanxiang with General Qian Qing, and Marshal Dai Keri was going to pass through Tongguan to report on his work.

Although the words "entering Beijing to report on work" are beautiful, Qiu Yizhi and others are gentle in their hearts: changing commanders in battle is a taboo for soldiers, but in fact, the imperial court can't trust Dai Luanxiang, so he was deprived of his front-line military power, and forced him to return to Beijing for other disposal. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi did not dare to slack off, so he ordered to disperse the pro-soldiers everywhere and reassemble under Tongguan, so as to wait for Dai Luanxiang to appear.

Two days later, news came from the front: as soon as Qian Qinggang, the general of the left who replaced Dai Luanxiang, took office, he launched an attack on Youyan's army at the urging of the eunuchs of the supervising army. Unexpectedly, the Youyan army was negligent, and after a little contact, they were defeated and lost the camp, so they had to retreat across the Hutuo River to confront the imperial forbidden army. In the direction of Bianzhou on the western front, the Youyan army was even more vulnerable, discarding all the places in Henan it occupied, retreating to Youyan Road, and choosing a dangerous position to hold on.

When the military report had just reached the Taoist temple, everyone was worried when they heard it.

But Qiu Yizhi's heart is like a mirror: although this left general Qian Qing can also be called a good general, he is different from his father-in-law Zheng Rong and former general Dai Luanxiang; Moreover, with the tenacity of Youyan's army, even if it is defeated for a while, it will definitely resist step by step, how can there be a reason that a large number of positions will be lost in just one day - this is just a double reed performed by Zheng Rong and Zhong Li Kuang, just to make Zheng Yao and the hundred officials of the imperial court believe that Dai Luanxiang did have an affair with Youyan.

So sure enough, as soon as the people of Dai Luanxiang's court passed through Tongguan and walked only a few miles, they found a county government to put Dai Luanxiang in the prisoner car. Afraid that the people along the way would hear the news and stop the car to shout for Dai Luanxiang, they abandoned the wide and straight official road and threw themselves into the small road to the capital Luoyang.

All these situations are under Qiu Yizhi's control, especially the people who escorted Marshal Dai are afraid of the uproar of the people, and they dare not take the main road and take the secluded path, which is more in line with his heart.

So Qiu Yizhi recalled all the elite forces and wanted to rescue Dai Luanxiang.
