"Oops!" Wang Shijie was so anxious that he jumped on the spot a few times, "Your Highness Yi will hurt me here!" The holy decree is clearly written, you can't let one person pass, a character like Yu Chi Daxia has passed the test from my hands, and he will be investigated by the peak in the future, how can I explain it? ”

Explain it truthfully. Let's just say that I fell for Qiu Yizhi's plan, and it won't be done. In case the emperor blames him in the future, I will naturally come forward to protect you. Hum! Are there fewer people in the world? Qiu Yizhi just said these words confidently, and suddenly remembered that the "emperor" in his mouth had passed away, and a sadness arose in his heart, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Wang Shijie was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly beckoned a few of his subordinates and ordered them to send someone to arrest Chi Lianghong, the interceptor lieutenant.

Wei Chi Lianghong's martial arts are world-famous, and he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, even if he is a little injured, how can the stunned soldiers under Wang Shijie be able to capture it? Therefore, Qiu Yizhi didn't care about him, and went down to close the wall with a stomach full of worries.

In the next few days, Wang Shijie no longer managed other things, except for sending more manpower and asking his soldiers to strictly guard the gate and wall, and no one could pass through Tongguan, but only went to Qiu Yizhi every day to inquire about the news, and wanted to ask what did Wei Chi Lianghong do from him? How long will it take to return?

Such a thing, how could Qiu Yizhi tell him, just say that it was a confidential task ordered by the emperor himself, and it was better that he, Wang Shijie, was a small general guarding the pass.

However, whenever Wang Shijie visits, Qiu Yizhi doesn't bother him, but can inquire about the situation from him in turn and ask if there are any new changes in the situation around Tongguan.

It stands to reason that it takes about two days to ride a fast horse from Tongguan to the capital Luoyang, and it takes four days to go round and go back and forth plus go to Beijing to handle affairs. But when Qiu Yizhi waited until the third day, he was already anxious - Yu Chi Lianghong was a safe person, and the third brother Zheng Miao was a little cautious and pedantic, so he should have sent someone over to report the news, why is there no news at all now?

Every time Qiu Yizhi climbed the wall of Tongguan Pass, he looked into the west pole, and what he saw was not the magnificent scene of the Pingchuan in the Guanzhong Plain of Jincheng, but the dense fog of smoke and dust that could not be blown away and could not be seen through.

Another day passed, and under the boredom of Qiu Yi, he was playing against Lin Shuhan. Lin Shuhan can be called a national player of Go, but Qiu Yi is a chess, and he is absent-minded, seeing that he has walked less than a hundred steps, and one of his big dragons is about to be slaughtered by Lin Shuhan before he can get up, so he scratches his ears and cheeks to remedy it.

At this moment, I heard Wang Shijie shouting loudly: "Your Highness Yi, it's not good, there is news in front of the gate, saying that someone is fighting from the east." ”

Qiu Yizhi was still full of heart on the chessboard, and when he heard Wang Shijie's "fighting", he thought it was an ordinary public security dispute, and he didn't mention Zheng Miao and Wei Chi Lianghong, so he didn't take it to heart, and said angrily: "You are the general guarding the pass, tell me what to do with this kind of thing?" Maybe there is some dispute between the merchants waiting to pass the border, and you should quickly disperse them, so as not to miss the big thing. ”

Wang Shijie was not easily sent away, and said to Qiu Yizhi more and more anxiously: "Your Highness Yi, let's go over and take a look, I look a little weird." ”

Qiu Yizhi was alerted at this time and said, "It's okay." Send your men together first, and I'll see as you go. With that, he pushed away the chessboard, which was already a sure defeat, got up and walked out of the house.

Halfway through, Zhao Chengxiao saw that Qiu Yizhi was walking in a hurry, followed by Wang Shijie, so he stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" Is something wrong? ”

Qiu Yizhi shook his head and said with a serious face: "There is something, but I don't know what it is." Tell all your brothers to gather together, and wait for them at the gate. Also, ask Wei Chi Jiming to act with you......"

Zhao Chengxiao heard that Qiu Yizhi and even Lieutenant Chi Jiming were called, I was afraid that the matter would not be small, so he hurriedly agreed and went down to assemble the team.

What Qiu Yizhi is temporarily living in now is a small barracks specially vacated by Wang Shijie, which is very close to Tongguan, and the two of them have reached the bottom of Tongguan after walking a few steps.

Qiu Yizhi pointed to a small door that could only allow two people to pass side by side, and said, "General Wang, since you begged me to go to the gate to see the situation, then please open this door." ”

The door pointed to by Qiu Yizhi was set up to facilitate the entry and exit of the guards on weekdays, not only was it extremely narrow and low, but the passage inside the door was tortuous and tortuous. In the event of a war, this small door will be completely sealed from both the inside and outside; Even if it is too late to close, this small gate alone will not be able to pass through a large number of troops in a short time.

However, it was this small door with a big palm that made Wang Shijie worried. He scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, but he still didn't make up his mind, and said, "Your Highness Yi should go to the wall to check the situation." I'm not afraid that His Highness will laugh at me, I'm afraid that when I open the door, His Highness will enter the pass after a smoke, and then I can't really come over and be rude to His Highness Yi, right? ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he smiled: "I didn't expect you to have so many ghost ideas, and this Tongguan is handed over to you, which can be regarded as reassuring." Okay, let's go up to the wall and watch the situation. With that, Qiu Yizhi walked up the stairs and climbed briskly.

Qiu Yizhi climbed too fast, and by the time he reached the top of the wall, he was already out of breath. But he didn't have time to calm down his heaving chest, so he walked quickly to the edge of the battlement, and lay on the edge of the city wall to look down - I saw that the gate was still full of merchants waiting to open the door, and the market gathered along the wall was quite calm, but in the distance, there seemed to be two teams of people and horses fighting each other, but because the smoke and dust that had filled the air obscured the vision, I really couldn't see the details.

So Qiu Yizhi asked: "Wang Shijie, who is fighting over there, I see that the battle is very big, and it seems that it cannot be underestimated." ”

Wang Shijie replied cautiously: "The last general only learned about the situation from the soldiers stationed on the wall, and I don't know what the specifics are." ”

Qiu Yizhi said again: "Then did you send someone over to inquire about the situation?" When will Tanma return? ”

Wang Shijie is an old military officer from Lao Youyan Dao, he still knows this deployment, and he has already sent people out, so he replied truthfully: "The last general has sent a cronies scouts to investigate, and he will be able to come back in about a tea time." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, and said: "Then you gather your sergeants and tell them to prepare early, in case something really happens, it is better to be prepared." ”

Although Wang Shijie still felt that the Guannai was just a slightly bigger commotion, and he couldn't mobilize the people, but it was an order from His Royal Highness Qiu Yi and a perfect preparation, and he really had no reason to refute it, so he beckoned the herald soldiers who followed closely around him, and asked his soldiers to immediately go out of the camp and assemble under the city.

Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Shijie's deployment, and continued to stare at a pair of eyes, staring closely at the chaos in the distance.

But I heard someone ask in my ear, "My lord, what's going on ahead?" ”

Qiu Yizhi turned his head to look, but it was Lin Shuhan who came, so he said: "I don't know, I can't see clearly, can Mr. Lin see it?" ”

Lin Shuhan has read a lot, he is short-sighted, and he can't see the situation in the distance clearly, so he also shook his head and said: "I can't see it......" The two eyes continued to squint and stare into the distance.

After a while, Yu Chi Jiming also climbed the city wall, and said: "Little uncle, you left me alone and ran to such a high place to see the scenery by yourself, it's really eccentric!" ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "Ji Ming, you came just in time." Do you have good eyes, do you see the group of people in front of you? Can you see what they're doing? ”

Yu Chi Jiming is good at using hidden weapons, and he has not experienced the pain of reading at night, so he naturally has clear ears and eyes, and replied after a cursory: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two teams of people are slashing each other......"

"What? Hack and slash? Qiu Yizhi exclaimed, "They all used their weapons?" ”

Yu Chi Jiming glanced at it a few more times and said, "It's time to use weapons." A group of centaurs seemed to be only twenty or thirty people, and they were wearing variegated clothes. The other team was a little shameless, with a total of more than 100 people, all dressed in black. ”

Qiu Yi was immediately a little surprised when he heard the news - what surprised him was not the difference in the number of seventy or eighty people between the two sides, but the fact that since the black-clothed side had already thought of uniform uniforms, it must have come with deliberate preparation.

He was thinking about it, but he heard Wei Chi Jiming shouting: "The people in variegated clothes seem to be a little unable to fight the group of people in black, and they are coming to Tongguan." ”

This is a nonsense - a team of twenty or thirty people naturally can't beat several times their own people - and it is also a common sense.

"Those people can't be beaten, and they are retreating to Tongguan, little uncle, what do you think?" Yu Chi Jiming continued.

Qiu Yizhi's brows tightened, and he thought to himself - I asked Yu Chi Lianghong to go to Beijing to find the third brother Zheng Miao, and according to the time, it should be the return of these days, but it happened that there was such an incident of armed fighting under Tongguan, these two time nodes coincided too much, so that Qiu Yizhi, who has always been bold, could not help but consider the worst.

So Qiu Yizhi said to Wang Shijie, who was standing beside him: "Tongguan is the most important place in the world, although this kind of gathering and fighting is the jurisdiction of local officials, you can't turn a blind eye to the general guarding the pass. Why don't you send troops and arrest them all? ”

According to common sense, even if there is a robbery or a reverse case, it is the administrative yamen of the jurisdiction who will take the lead to calm down; If it is not possible to settle the matter only by virtue of the soldiers of the yamen, the military attache will be asked to come forward to settle the payment; Moreover, even if the yamen wanted to use military attachés, they also invited military generals of the same level to guard the place, and there was never a reason to invite soldiers to guard Tongguan.

Therefore, Wang Shijie said with a sad face: "Your Highness Yi, to call the guards to meddle in local security affairs, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules, right?" ”

"What's not in the same way? Did you call me to the wall to talk to me about something? Then you send troops down, ask from above, and I will bear it for you. The tone of Qiu Yizhi's words was unquestionable.

Since someone is in charge, Wang Shijie naturally has nothing to fear, so he asked someone to pass the order: "Chuan Tong Pass guards the general order, transfer the 300 soldiers in the pass, go to maintain order, and order the brawls to surrender immediately!" ”

The herald sang a "whoo" and was just about to go down to deliver the order, but Qiu Yizhi added: "Anyone who stubbornly resists and refuses to obey the order will be punished as a conspiracy, and he will be killed." ”

When the herald heard this order, a joyful expression suddenly flashed on his face - since he has been determined to be an anti-thief, then according to the law of the Han Dynasty, after killing, it can be used as a military merit, and it is a military merit, so it will naturally be rewarded, and in front of real money, who will not smile?

So the herald saw that Wang Shijie had no objections, so he happily went down and locked up.
