After Yuan Zai handed over the letter to the post guard and sent it out, he was always very worried in his heart, he was afraid that something else would happen to the letter, and he was afraid that the post guard would be damaged on the way, and he was even more afraid that Yang Guozhong would not pay enough attention to it. He tossed and turned in his sleep at night, lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed, staring at the big brass bell-like eyes and finally making up his mind.

I can't wait, find an opportunity to destroy these account books, and try to feel at ease for myself.

It's just that Xiao Hua keeps a close eye on it during the day, and at night, the soldiers of the Hexi Doulu Army take turns to keep vigil. He didn't know what Li Siye's attitude was towards these account books, if people had to escort these things to Chang'an to embarrass Yang Guozhong, he wouldn't find any chance to do it.

The team was already close to the border between Hexi and Longyou, and if Xiao Hua asked the local garrison of Lanzhou to escort him with an official document from the imperial court, he would have no chance.

It was a hot day, and the procession marched through the middle of the hills of Qianlong Road, flanked by dense bushes.

At noon, Xiao Hua rode on his horse and waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, looked at the winding and long road ahead, turned to the sweaty soldiers leading the ox cart and said, "Everyone stop the car and rest on the spot." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were overjoyed, and they all flowed like flies to lie down under the bushes on both sides, Xiao Hua turned over and dismounted, dragged the horse to the tree, and also lay down. Only two ox carts were left parked in the middle of the road.

Yuan Jae squinted at the ox cart and then at the lazy soldiers, and seemed to have a plan in his heart. He walked a few steps towards the forest, put his hand on the pergola and looked up at the high place, as if there were a few mountain apricot trees or plum trees, and immediately said happily: "Look, there seem to be wild fruits in the high places over there." ”

The soldiers turned over excitedly, ready to run over to pick, but Xiao Hua categorically drank: "As a soldier and horse of the imperial court, how can you leave your post without permission!" It's important to keep an eye on the ox cart. ”

The soldiers were a little unhappy, and muttered: "It's just a few books of broken paper, who wants it?" What else does it do besides wiping your buttocks? ”

A few soldiers went to beg the team to be right, and the team was also sitting under the tree in a hot state, wanting to eat a few fruits and try them. He asked Xiao Hua in soft words: "Xiao Langzhong, the soldiers have been working diligently all day long to escort all the way to Lanzhou, didn't nothing happen?" Besides, who else is rare with these papers except for you who treats them as treasures, it's a big deal that I'm here to watch, let them pick them, okay? ”

Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment, and felt that he shouldn't upset everyone because of a few fruits, so he had to nod and agree: "Okay, you guys go and go back quickly." ”

"Okay, when the time comes, you can also try it for Xiao Langzhong!" The soldiers ran like monkeys into the woods.

Xiao Hua felt weak, stretched his legs and shoulders against the tree trunk, just closed his eyes, but suddenly opened his nose and twitched, stood up from the ground with both hands and exclaimed: "Yuan Zai!" ”

He hurriedly ran to the side of the road, and saw through the thick branches and leaves that green smoke had been billowing up on the ox cart, and he shouted angrily: "Yuan Zai, are you crazy! Dare to destroy the evidence of the crime! ”

Yuan Zai picked up the burning wood and lit it intently, but several camels rushed from behind, and the caravans on camels rushed to him, pulled out the corks of the water bags and poured them into the account books on the carts.

The flame that had just been ignited was extinguished, and Won Jae was completely dumbfounded. In the next second, Xiao Hua had already rushed over, grabbed his right side and pushed him to the ground, pushing and fighting back and forth, scolding in his mouth: "You Tian Shehan, you are crazy!" Destroy the evidence, eight heads are not enough for you to cut off! ”

Yuan Zaiyi turned over and rode on top of him, and also roared: "Who the hell is crazy!" It's not your way to want to die! You alone offended the Yang family and the whole court! If you want to die, don't pull me as a backpad! ”

"Can you only think of yourself! Eat the king's luck, worry about the king, have you thought of the court? Have you thought of social welfare? ”

"Li Siye's money and interests are all related to your, Yang Guozhong and the sage don't worry about it, you worry about it!

The two of them pushed and punched back and forth, like two spilled children, rolling around and sticking their official uniforms full of dust, even the hood was loose and falling off, and the sideburns were scattered and extremely embarrassed.

However, no one stepped forward to persuade them, and when the two of them were exhausted and raised their heads, they turned their heads to see a group of soldiers of the Doulu Army standing under the trees on both sides of the road, watching the play with relish, and chewing wild fruits in their mouths.

Several passing merchants on camels heard their quarrel just now, and the two of them quickly exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.

They took off the hat on their heads, revealing the red forehead on the top of their heads, and took off the fur fur on their bodies, revealing the sign on their chests and the light white crotch robe often worn by warriors in the army, and said to Xiao Hua: "Xiao Langzhong, we are the secretary of Fan Yang Jinju Academy, and I was specially sent by Liu Luogu to join the army to help Xiao Langzhong transport the evidence account books. ”

Yuan Zai looked at it coldly, these people had strong arms and horizontal meat, and they didn't look like scribes at all, but like the martial artists who were raised by the Academy.

Xiao Hua was surprised and delighted, got up from the ground with a bone, patted the dust on the official robe, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Okay, it's good." ”

Unexpectedly, someone sent a pillow when he was sleepy, and the forces that were completely outside the situation finally came to his eyes, and only An Lushan could stand on his side impartially and help him enter Chang'an with the account book and enter the Xingqing Palace to see the saint.

Wonjae sighed in disappointment and simply sat on the ground with his hands on his knees together.

Xiao Langzhong wrapped his head around the top of his head again, pointed to the Doulu army in Hexi and said, "Since someone has taken over, your Doulu army can go back to Hexi to resume your life." After that, he pointed to Yuan Zai, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Tie this person up for me, so that his hands and feet don't itch and continue to set fire to me." ”

The samurai of the Jinjuin Temple jumped off their camels, held down Yuan Zai and took out the rope to tie it up, and the Doulu soldiers pinched the kernel and looked at each other, not knowing which side to help.

"Let go of me! Let go! Yuan Zai struggled and shouted loudly: "Doulu Jun's! The account book fell into the hands of An Lushan, and your Dr. Li's plan to cast a rat trap was about to fail! ”

The Doulu army was looking at each other, and I didn't know if they really understood, but anyway, they just drew their swords, and all the soldiers lit up the horizontal swords in their hands.

The samurai of the Concert also removed their blades from their camels or waists, and the two sides confronted each other around two ox carts. Even Xiaohua and Yuan Zai, their eyes were facing each other, and scorching sparks burst out.

In the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose between the mountain roads, the sound of horses' hooves clattered from far to near, a bright flying leopard flag flickered among the green trees, and in an instant a rider pounced on the front, he grabbed the horse's head and raised it high, and a turn was already in front of everyone.

He took out a folded document from his arms, held it in his hand and said, "Right Xiaowei is a warrant for the Zhongshu Order!" Escort the account books into Beijing, and no one else will retreat. ”

The Doulu army was the first to put their swords into their sheaths and waved at their soldiers: "Brothers, let's go!" ”

The dead soldiers of Fan Yang Jinyuan were still hesitating, and dozens of horsemen of the right Xiaowei had already arrived, and the head of the cavalry was wearing a pill helmet and wearing thin scale armor with silver light, and raised his horsewhip and pointed at the dead soldiers and asked, "Whose subordinates are you?" “

"We are the ...... of Fan Yang Jinjuan" One of the samurai was already bald, and the leader swung the hilt of his sword and smashed it into his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of bloody teeth.

The rider decisively ordered: "Tie them all up to me!" and Lang Zhong Xiaohua of the Criminal Department, who also tied me up. ”

Yuan Zai proudly twisted his bound body, came to the right guard general, and said with a smile: "I am the Dali Temple Si Zhi Yuanzai, fortunately you came in time, otherwise these account books fell into the hands of An Lushan, and the right minister would be in great trouble, hey, you quickly untie me." ”

Who knew that these cavalry soldiers stared at him coldly, and the cavalry general laughed and said: "What is Yuan Zai, I have never heard of it, General Gan's order is to escort the account books and related people back to Beijing, you can be wronged for the time being!" When I arrived in Chang'an, I would judge the merits. ”

Yuan Zai was angry: "You guys! Are you dogs? Why don't you distinguish between good and good? ”

The rider raised his hand and whipped Yuan Zai on the head, causing him to grin his teeth and take several steps back. Xiao Hua, who was also tied up by the horsemen, let out a hahaha laugh.

"Even the car and people will be escorted to me!"
