In the early morning, the morning sun was rising, and the hazy fog at night had been dispelled, and the four people of Liangwen and Liangwu rode slowly towards the city gate on horseback, which was a four-person group sent by Yang Guozhong's subordinate Dou Hua to Hexi to investigate the case. They don't know what they are about to face, and they don't know that they are about to step into the whirlpool of torrents, only full of utilitarianism and the desire to be promoted and rich.

Seeing them leave was a man standing on the upper floor of the Fang Gate with a pu fan in his hand, this person's horns were slightly cocked, and he smiled at a person next to him: "Yang Guozhong has finally been fooled, it's really not easy, I hope they can find out a little bit and come back, and it won't be in vain for us to calculate so carefully." ”

Liu Luogu acted beside him: "Mr. Gao's plan is really clever, it can be described as killing three birds with one stone." ”

"Oh, tell me, what do you mean to kill three birds with one stone?"

"This first bird is that we can get a clear picture of Li Siye's business in Hexi without spending a single soldier. The second bird can make Li Siye and Yang Guozhong make enemies, and the two will be on the same page in the future. This third bird is the pepper trade route that can end Li Siye's wealth, and it is even possible to remove him from the position of the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, and remove the future troubles for the lord. Ha ha. ”

Noble and proudly stroked his beard and smiled, and threw out a sentence that praised each other: "Those who know my plot, Liu Luogu also." ”

"Even if they were killed, they wouldn't have imagined that the two lieutenants sent out by the Right Xiaowei to protect them were the eyeliners that we planted on the Right Xiaowei from the Jinju Academy."

Then the two of them burst into another smug laugh.

The laughter of these two people seemed scattered in the wind and did not reach the opposite side, but on the gate tower of Qunxian Fang diagonally opposite, Cen Shen and Cao Anding squatted behind the railing, glancing at the two people who were laughing proudly on the opposite floor.

"On the left is Gao Shang, the secretary of the Pinglu marching army sent by An Lushan, and on the right is Liu Luogu, who presided over the Fanyang Jinju Academy."

Cen Shen nodded firmly and said: "What Dr. Li said is really good, it turns out that An Lushan is manipulating behind his back, and Guozhong Xiao'er is just being used." ”

"That's right." Cao Anding followed closely and said, "I need to send someone to inform Dr. Li, so that he can ask someone to prepare in advance." ”

"Okay, I'll write a letter to Dr. Li tonight to remind him that the envoys sent by Yang Guozhong have left Chang'an, and two of them are the inner lines placed by An Lushan, so that the doctor can deal with it in advance."

The two of them walked down the stairs in the workshop, stuffed a silver collar to Wuhou who was guarding below, as a bribe for allowing them to go upstairs for sightseeing, and then watched the two people on the opposite floor go away.

……

Li Siye sat cross-legged in front of the screen, with the letter sent by Cen Shen on the desk, and Cheng Qianli, Tian Zhen, Yan Xiaosi and Dai Wang sitting below. After he opened the envelope and read it carefully, he slapped the letter on the desk with an angry snort, and said to the people sitting below: "Yang Guozhong is really a fool, he has been used by An Lushan, but he violated the alliance and sent someone to check me!" ”

Cheng Qianli forked his hand and said: "The subordinates have sent people to settle the post stations along the way to investigate their every move, as long as they walk through the post road, they will not escape our eyes." At present, it is estimated that these four people have come to the Liangzhou territory, and they must go to the head office of the Yangguan Chamber of Commerce first, so they must first discuss a way to deal with it. ”

Dai Wang followed up and said: "Among the four people sent by Yang Guozhong, two of them are the inside lines planted by An Lushan, and these two must not stay. Doctor, you should try to get rid of these two people first. ”

"It's nature." Li Siye pressed his hand on the table, pondered for a moment and said: "Since they have come to my Hexi realm, wouldn't it be easy to let the two lives disappear. Well, it can be like this, the people of Liangzhou are fierce, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, the bandits are not extinct. If they are attacked by bandits, two of them can die, and the other two can be rescued by the Liangzhou soldiers, who can take the opportunity to beat them. In this way, Yang Guozhong also has to thank me. ”

"Haha." Several people in the room let out a light laugh.

Li Siye said again: "Yan Xiaosi will arrange this matter, and we must use capable and good fighting people." ”

Yan Xiaosi walked out of his seat, knelt on one knee and crossed his hands in response, "Oh." ”

Li Siye instructed Dai Wang again: "Dai Liulang, you still return to Yangguan, and when these two people arrive in Dunhuang County, you can send someone to bribe them." If bribery fails, most of the ledgers for transporting pepper are hidden, leaving only the ledgers for transporting sandalwood and rosewood. I want to let Yang Guozhong and An Lushan see, and let the saints see who is loyal to the country and who is demolishing the stage behind the scenes. ”

Dai Wang also stepped out of his seat and walked away with his crossed hands.

……

Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai led the two right guards to the border of Liangzhou, because they took the post road, Cheng Qianli had already informed the post stations along the way in Hexi to report at any time, and their every move was equivalent to being under the surveillance of the Liangzhou Mansion at all times.

At the beginning of his tenure, Li Siye stepped up the management of the post station, changing from laissez-faire to meticulous management, and a post envoy was placed every 200 miles to carry out inspections. After the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce entered Hexi, Li Siye asked Dai Wang to join the army as a soldier, and at the same time governed the two post trade routes in the Qianli Hexi Corridor.

Since Dai Wang took over, he wanted to turn the post road into a part of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time improve the various functions of the post station, expand the warehouse, add mules, carriages and other transportation equipment, so far the pepper trade road has been extended to the Yellow River crossing.

Xiao Huayuan has been in Chang'an for a long time, and has no time to go out on business, and today he has the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Hexi Corridor, and both of them have enough comfort and satisfaction in their lives. If the trip can go well, they can not only see the beautiful scenery, but also return to Chang'an with a full load, and move to the left.

They looked at the railing on the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, expressing their hearts and reciting poems against each other. The marquis of the right guards led their horses and stood eight feet away, snorting at the poetry of their literati.

If you pay close attention, you will find that there is a complete disconnect between the two civil officials and the two military attachés, first of all, their accents are completely different, Xiao Hua is from Nanling County, Yuan Zai is from Fengxiang Qishan, the two live in Jingshi all the year round, and speak the official dialect of the Central Plains. These two lieutenants are both from Pinglu Yingzhou, with a strong Liaoyan Huhua accent. Secondly, due to the different regions of life, the values and morals between each other are not on the same level.

These two men are ostensibly the middle marquis of the right guard, responsible for their safety. In fact, the two of them were temporarily placed by Gao Shang and Liu Luogu to be placed in the right Xiaowei, they were loyal to An Lushan, and they carried out noble orders.

Yan Zhao Zahu was originally unruly and fierce, advocating force and fighting bravely, they only maintained respect for Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai on the surface, but in their hearts they implemented a different set. The two often disobeyed each other, and when they fell behind them, they whispered to each other, and Xiao Hua didn't even have the slightest suspicion.

Yuan Zaihu glanced back suspiciously, and said to Xiao Hua beside him: "I was a little suspicious before I came, most of the right Xiaowei are the children of the good family in Guanzhong, why did they just get us two Hebei miscellaneous hus?" ”

Xiao Hua didn't care at all, and said leisurely while pulling the reins of the horse: "It doesn't matter if he is from Guanzhong or Hebei, these two people are just protecting our safety, and they are not participating in the investigation, so why care." ”
