Ruan Wenlong listened to Qiu Yizhi's words, as if he had woken up from a dream, he suddenly raised his head, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Gongzi turned out to be the righteous son of Prince Youyan!" Dare to go to the danger lightly, this courage is really unexpected! ”

Qiu Yizhi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Qian has won the prize." In the following, I know that Mr. Qian is a reasonable person who knows the interests and harms, so he dares to ask Mr. Qian. ”

How many dignitaries and dignitaries Ruan Wenlong has seen before this Tongguan, and he can be regarded as having seen the world, and he has already settled down between three words, but said: "Your Highness is a nobleman, I don't know what is your turn to help?" ”

"Let me go in. This matter is just the work of Mr. Qian's hands, I don't know if Mr. Qian can be fulfilled? Qiu Yizhi asked.

Ruan Wenlong thought for a while, and then agreed: "The villain can still call the shots for this little thing." When does His Highness want to pass the level, albeit on the villain. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he smiled and arched his hand: "Then thank you for Ruan Qian's care." ”

Ruan Wenlong was just about to be humble, and then heard Qiu Yizhi say: "It will take about ten days to do things in the lower customs, and then there may be something that needs the help of President Qian, and then I will have to worry about Lord Ruan again." ”

Ruan Wenlong thought to himself, it seems that it is very normal for a gentleman like Qiu Yizhi to have a few cronies or even good friends in the capital, and it is no big problem to come out and go in, so he agreed. But he didn't know at the time that his honest answer had profoundly changed his fate.

So Qiu Yizhi, under Ruan Wenlong's arrangement, passed through Tongguan all the way very smoothly and stepped into the land of Guanzhong again.

Guanzhong up to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, down to the common people in Pingtou, all thought that with the protection of the two Xiongguan passes of Tongguan and Dasanguan, the military disaster would definitely not invade here, so in addition to the more soldiers coming and going, and the business travelers were less, the whole air still seemed quite relaxed, and it seemed that there was not much change from before.

Qiu Yizhi knew that this was just an appearance, and under the calm water, there was naturally an undercurrent.

Therefore, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, as soon as he passed the pass and found a deserted Taoist hall to settle in, he gathered all the people around him, took out a list from his arms, and pointed and said: "This is the name and place of the Youyan brothers who were temporarily stranded in the pass when we broke through the Tong Pass before. Now I will distribute it to you, and you shall ...... them according to what is written in it."

Qiu Yi was halfway through his words, but he heard Tietou Jiao say: "Your Highness, we are all rough people, you asked us to do something, and we have nothing to say." But the eighteen of us don't recognize eighteen words together, and you told us to find someone according to the note, but it's ......"

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he immediately collapsed, hating that when he first made the plan, why didn't he consider that these people under him were illiterate and stupid!

So Qiu Yi gritted his teeth, lowered his head and silently calculated for a while, and finally raised his head hatefully and said, "There are only one hundred and four people on this. Eighteen of you, fourteen of whom are responsible for finding six people who are near, and four people who are looking for five people who are far away. Memorize their names and places for me now! ”

There were no words about the name and place, and the thieves racked their brains and finally memorized dozens of words well.

Qiu Yizhi relieved them to go out to find someone, and repeatedly advised: "It doesn't matter if the people you are responsible for can't find all of them, if you can find a few, bring a few." Be sure to return to the Taoist temple within five days. When the time comes, I will have a big reward. ”

These eighteen thieves were all impatient, and they hurriedly crossed their horses and left after hearing the order, leaving only Qiu Yizhi, Yu Chi Lianghong, and Zhao Chengxiao in the empty and dilapidated Taoist temple.

But I heard Qiu Yizhi say to the other two: "The three of me also have something to do, and I ask the two of you to accompany me to Luoyang, the capital." ”

Yu Chi Lianghong said: "The virtuous brother is resourceful, and the foolish brother has been taught." A few days ago, he accompanied the virtuous brother to attack the yamen of the county government everywhere, spreading Marshal Dai's secret communication with the prince of Youyan, and the foolish brother could more or less see some eyebrows. However, this time he wants to go deep into the tiger's den in the capital, but the foolish brother really can't guess the intention of the virtuous brother. ”

Qiu Yizhi replied with a smile: "My brother is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and I also know how difficult it must be to subdue a person. If this person is not in a desperate situation, and he has your help, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince him. Marshal Dai is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he can be called a peerless soldier, and it is even more difficult to subdue him. ”

Wei Chi Lianghong sighed and said: "There is a way to be his master, and the virtuous brother does this to achieve great things for the prince, and others have nothing to say." But Marshal Dai is dedicated to the country, and with such a strategy to deal with him, the foolish brother ...... in his heart" He pondered his words before he said, "In the heart of the foolish brother, there is always something unbearable. ”

Qiu Yizhi also changed his serious expression and said, "Brother Guo has the name of benevolence and righteousness. However, this matter cannot be blamed on the younger brother, if it is to blame, the current emperor Zheng Yao is narrow-minded. If he can really do 'use people without suspicion and suspicion', then how can the little brother's little strategy succeed? Moreover, even if Marshal Dai reluctantly won the battle, he would inevitably arouse Zheng Yao's suspicion in vain. Little brother, this is actually saving Marshal Dai! ”

Yu Chi Lianghong sighed again and said: "Actually, there are many such things in the martial arts. The apprentices of any sect have practiced their martial arts at a high level, and they have attracted the envy of the master, and the master has made a black hand and made tricks to abolish the apprentice's martial arts. As soon as the brother said this, the foolish brother also had a bottom in his heart, so without further ado, let's go! ”

The three of them no longer hesitated, and rode all the way to the capital Luoyang.

Qiu Yizhi and others crossed Tongguan and entered Beijing from the east, and it stands to reason that they should have to go through Jianchun Gate. However, Qiu Yizhi had passed through this door many times before, and the last time he broke through the door, he himself knew that this movement was really too big.

So they had to ride around half of the capital, intending to enter the city from the Ximing Gate on the west wall of Luoyang.

Since the imperial court fought against the King of Youyan in the east, there were many fewer merchants from Tongguan to Beijing, but more merchants came from the west to Luoyang through Dasanguan. The Ximing Gate is open for civilians to enter and exit all year round, so there is an extremely long queue in front of the gate, waiting to be inspected and entered the city.

Qiu Yizhi couldn't wait so long, and led Yu Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao to Ximingmen.

When the gatekeeper saw that these three people had not lined up in front of the door, they had not even gotten off their horses, and they looked like no one was around, so they scolded sharply: "Where did you come from? Do you understand the rules, go back and line up! ”

Qiu Yizhi was not in a hurry, took out a token from his arms, shook it in front of the soldier's eyes, and scolded arrogantly: "Do you still need to queue up to persuade the good division to go to the city?" ”

The Quanshan Division was originally powerful, and now it is the spy yamen personally controlled by the emperor, and it is becoming more and more powerful.

The token in the hand of the soldier Ding Qiuyi, where did he dare to let out one more fart, and even crawled to the side, and let Qiu Yizhi and the other three enter the capital.

The war was raging ahead, and the people of the capital didn't seem to take it to heart, and those who shopped, drank, and ate tea were still scurrying around the streets, restaurants, and teahouses, and there was no tension on their faces. There are indeed more soldiers patrolling around the streets wearing armor and spears.

However, Qiu Yizhi had a heavy responsibility, and he couldn't relax a little, and when he saw that the sun was not early, he chose a deserted inn in a secluded neighborhood in the capital to live.

The owner of this inn is an old man who is over the age of six, his two daughters are married, and one son is admitted to the imperial examination and is an official in other places.

The old man could have lived with peace of mind, but he couldn't bear the loneliness, and it was a pity to see that his yard was vacant, so he opened an inn privately, not seeking to make money, but only asking for the excitement of people coming and going. This is not in line with the rules of the imperial court, but the old man's inn is not big, and his son is a person of meritorious fame, so the court soldiers and officials who patrol the city have never felt sorry for him.

The old man was very talkative, and as soon as he heard that Qiu Yizhi was from Henan Province, he took the initiative to talk and asked, "I heard that over there in Henan, the imperial court is fighting with the prince of Youyan, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

Qiu Yizhi also had the heart to listen to the people in the capital, so he said: "I just listened to my uncle's orders and came to collect the accounts, where do you know about these national affairs?" Marshal Dai is famous for his ability to fight battles, and Prince Youyan is also famous, the two of them fought, but they really don't know who loses and who wins. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Childe is too modest." Today's young people are drunk and drunk, drunk and drunk, where do they still know how to care about the world's major affairs? It is very rare to know these two famous generals in my court like Childe. ”

Qiu Yizhi said "I don't dare to be" and said: "The names of these two are well-known at home and abroad, and they are well known even in the land of Huawai. The younger generation just didn't expect that the two pillars of my Han would also meet each other. ”

The old man also sighed and said, "Childe's words are right. Marshal Dai sent troops to quell the rebellion, and there is nothing to say. But Prince Youyan would actually rebel against the court, but he really didn't expect it. Lord Wang, he has always been the first loyal minister of my Han! He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the first emperor wanted to pass on the throne to the prince of Youyan, if it wasn't for the prince's humility, where would it be the turn of the emperor to go to the great xing?" How can it be the turn of the saint today? ”

Qiu Yizhi pretended to be surprised and said, "So there is such a thing? It's no wonder that the younger generations always hear gossip along the way. It is said that Marshal Dai has deliberately demoted the prince a long time ago, and wants to support the prince as the emperor! ”

When the old man heard this, he subconsciously looked around, and said softly: "Childe's words can be said elsewhere, this is the capital, you can't talk nonsense, in case the minions of the persuasion of the good division know, it will be troublesome!" He took a breath and said, "Actually, who is the emperor different?" Today's emperor's surname is Zheng, and Prince Youyan is also surnamed Zheng. To put it mildly, it would be better for the old man to see the prince as the emperor! Actually, we ordinary people can't control so much, as long as which emperor can let us live a good life, isn't it? ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to it and pondered for a long time, and then solemnly said: "Thanks to the advice, the younger generation has benefited a lot today." However, although the younger generation did not have the demeanor of King Youyan, since he came to the capital, he wanted to see the former residence of Marshal Dai. I wonder if the old man can show me the way? ”

The old man listened to Qiu Yizhi's polite words, so he smiled and said, "It's easy to say." Marshal Dai's mansion is on the edge of the imperial city, and you can go out from here and turn a corner along the main road. ”

Qiu Yizhi secretly wrote down, and said a few words to the old man, and when he saw that it was dark, he gave him a few more taels of silver, and asked him to buy a table of good wine and food, and everyone ate together, and then fell asleep to recuperate.
