Hearing that Qin Shubao and Yin Kaishan defeated Yu Chi Jingde, but let Yu Chi Jingde flee with the rest of his troops, Li Shimin immediately ordered: "Chai Shao, Qian Jiulong, you stay here, continue to guerrilla, and stop Song Jingang from going south." ”

"Duan Zhixuan, you go and order three thousand soldiers and horses, and follow me to intercept Wei Chi Jingde."

So, Li Shimin personally led the army to the direction of Xia County to intercept Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang.

According to Lu Chongmao, who was guarding Xia County, he did not know that several soldiers and horses were approaching him, and he was feeling complacent about the fact that King Yong'an of the Tang Dynasty and other hostages were imprisoned in Xia County.

The general said to Lu Chongmao: "I heard that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, personally led a large army to camp in Baibi, and several cities have been recovered in just one month, it seems that the Tang army is menacing.

"You say, we rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, will the King of Qin come to kill us?"

The joy on Lu Chongmao's face froze, he was dissatisfied with Pei Lian's arbitrariness and brutality, so he called on the people to revolt.

Now that the reinforcement captain Chi Jingde and Xunxiang have left, if King Qin leads his army to attack Xia County at this time, he will definitely not be able to stop it.

"Let me think again."

......

Xia County Jail.

Tang Jian sat in the corner, thinking about how to escape, when suddenly a faint voice came from his ears: "Providence is like this, it seems that Shangshu is the king of immortality." ”

Chancery?

The king does not die?

Tang Jian was shocked, turned his head to look at the cell next door, and looked at the person who made the voice.

"Yuan Junbao? What do you mean by what you just said? What king doesn't die? ”

A voice suddenly came from behind, Yuan Junbao's body flicked, and when he turned around and saw Tang Jian, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I didn't say anything just now." ”

Yuan Junbao was the former county lord of Wuyuan, and was later collected by Dugu Huaien, and this time he went out with the army.

Tang Jian figured out the key at once, walked to the railing in the middle, and asked Yuan Junbao with a sharp gaze: "The Shangshu in your mouth refers to the Dugu Shangshu, right?"

"He managed to escape, but you said that he was not a king, is he going to rebel?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Jian guessed it based on his words, Yuan Junbao's face turned pale, and he was too frightened to speak.

Liu Shirang heard the movement, walked over, and asked Tang Jian, "What happened?" ”

"Dugu Huaien wants to rebel." Tang Jian said briefly.

Hearing this, Liu Shirang's face changed greatly.

Tang Jian's majestic eyes stared at Yuan Junbao: "If you can know about this matter, it means that Dugu Huaien once dragged you to rebel together."

"Do you know that rebellion is a capital crime, and it is necessary to destroy the nine clans?

"Or do you think that with Dugu Huaien's straw bag, you can really succeed in the rebellion?"

Seeing that Yuan Junbao's face was getting paler and paler, cold sweat was flowing down from the corners of his forehead, and his eyes were flustered, Tang Jian took the opportunity to say: "Confess and be lenient, if you tell me about the matter one by one, I will intercede with Your Majesty on your behalf in the future and spare your life."

"Otherwise, you will wait for the Nine Clans."

Yuan Junbao finally couldn't resist the fear in his heart, and knelt on the ground: "I didn't think about rebellion, Dugu Shangshu had to pull me to do it, I had no choice......"

Then, Yuan Junbao told Tang Jian everything from beginning to end.

After listening, Tang Jian's face was ugly, he pulled Liu Shirang to the side, and whispered, "I don't know where Dugu Huaien fled now?"

"If he has returned to Puzhou and regained military power, the situation will not be good."

Liu Shirang was shocked: "Then what should I do?" ”

Tang Jian thought for a while: "In this way, I will find a way to let you escape first, you can return to Chang'an quickly, report this matter to Your Majesty, I hope everything can be in time." ”

So, on this day, when the jailer came to deliver food, Tang Jian collected the belongings of all his colleagues in the cell and handed them to the jailer.

"If you find a way to help me take someone out, these belongings will be yours, not only that, after Tang Jun rescues us out, I will ask Your Majesty for credit for you."

When the jailer saw the belongings, his eyes flashed with golden light, and the next moment, he scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he reached out to take it.

Tang Jian quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Before the matter is done, this money can't be given to you." ”

The jailer's face was embarrassed: "However, if it is found and the above blames it, I will not be able to spend this money." ”

"It won't be discovered." Tang Jian patiently comforted him: "The identity of the person I asked you to take out is not obvious, even if Lu Chongmao comes here, there are so many of us, he will not find that there is one person missing."

"In troubled times, wealth and danger are sought, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so."

Hearing this, the jailer gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Tang Jian took out a part of the bag and stuffed it into his hand: "This is the deposit, after the matter is completed, I will give you the rest of the money." ”

"Okay." The jailer quickly collected the money and set out to get some money.

Towards evening, the jailer opened the cell and threw a set of his own clothes to Tang Jian: "Put them on for your people, and now go out with me." ”

Tang Jian glanced down at it, it was a jailer's uniform, so he threw the clothes to Liu Shirang: "Quickly change them." ”

Yuan Junbao in the next cell quietly watched Liu Shirang surrounded by everyone, changed his clothes, and then walked out with the jailer with his head down.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, and sighed again in his heart: Maybe this is the will of heaven.

......

At dawn on the second day, Wang Yu and the others traveled day and night to a small village near Xia County.

Wang Kangda rode in front of the team, and saw a figure riding a horse in front of him, originally galloping in their direction, but it seemed that he saw them, and immediately turned around and ran.

"Who? Hold it. Wang Kangda accelerated violently and chased after him.

When the person behind heard this, he immediately accelerated and chased after the man.

In a few moments, the man was surrounded by them.

"Heroes spare your life, I only have so much money on me, give it to you, please, don't kill me, don't rob my horse." The man jumped off his horse and consciously pulled out all his money.

"Liu Tingshi?"

The man looked up, and Wang Kangda recognized him.

"Wang Changshi?" Liu Shirang saw Wang Kangda and was a little incredulous.

looked behind Wang Kangda again, and hurriedly knelt down: "I've seen Princess Jinyang." ”

Seeing that Wang Yu's face was full of doubts, Wang Kangda told her in a low voice: "This is Liu Shirang, the assassin of Pengzhou, who followed King Yongan to Xia County to conquer Lu Chongmao this time. ”

The name of "Liu Shirang", Wang Yucai heard it from Dugu Huaien's mouth.

However, she knew that Liu Shirang should be in the Xia County prison at this time.

"How did you escape? Tang Jian, what about them? Did you escape too? Wang Yu asked.

Liu Shirang replied respectfully: "The deputy chief is still locked up in the Xia County prison and did not escape, and the minister escaped because Deputy Chief Tang tried to buy off the jailer." ”

Then, Liu Shirang told Wang Yu that Tang Jian had secretly ordered him to go back to Chang'an to denounce Dugu Huaien's rebellion.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly.

Wang Yu thought to herself, although she didn't know that there was such a thing, but Li Yuan's lifespan was not so short, and she didn't have to rush back to Chang'an.

So, Wang Yu called Wang Kangda aside and said to him: "You take a few people to escort Liu Shirang back to Chang'an to see Your Majesty, after the matter is over, you don't have to come to Bingzhou again, just stay in Chang'an and do something for me......"
