The wind stopped in Tongcheng overnight, but the team that left the city did not stop. Liu Zhu and the others did not rest in the night, and tried their best to hurry, planning to repair after Dingyi County the next day.

Tongcheng was already far away at the moment, and they naturally didn't know anything about the chaos and changes over there.

Liu Zhu and Bibu Langzhong and his party, although they are out of the control of the "driving department Langzhong", dozens of people he sent are still in the team. Even though there are more than a dozen secret guards to protect each other, they dare not have any conflict with them in order to ensure safety.

According to the old plan, as long as they arrived in Lianzhou, Liu Zhu and Tang Xianyao would tell the news that there were Beiyu spies in the city, and then the news that the Beiyu spies had been disposed of in Tongcheng would also be delivered.

"Driving Langzhong" originally wanted to make Liu Shu a candidate for substitution, but he didn't expect that he played the same role in his old plan.

The first half of the countermeasures discussed with Liu Shu have been successfully completed, and there must be no mistakes in the second half. But Liu Zhu was still very uneasy in his heart.

At that time, when he heard that the Huaiyang army had hit Tongcheng, Liu Shu was not so flustered, and he couldn't tell why he was like this, maybe he was just not optimistic about the situation in the Southern Chu court.

When arranging his family, he deliberately left behind his own son and daughter, but he had two considerations. The first is to take the initiative to show sincerity to the old man, and the second is that if something happens to him in Tongcheng, it will not let his whole family suffer together.

The road has come to this point, and perhaps it is late at night, and it is indeed easy for people to worry a little more. With the dawn, Liu Zhu's mind gradually became clearer, after all, in the arrangement of the review, he could still stand at a height that he had never imagined, if there was no danger, where could he get such an opportunity.

However, when he lowered his head and turned his mind, when he raised his head again, it changed again.

First the horses hesitated, and then the attendants walking on the ground also noticed that something was wrong.

The ground began to shake slightly, and then after a few steps, the tremors were even felt by the people sitting in the carts on their horses. Before he could find out, he heard a voice from a distant distance.

At this time, the subordinates of the "driving department Langzhong" understood first, and there were a lot of soldiers and horses coming towards them.

Sure enough, before he could open his mouth, he saw from a distance the cavalry in black armor and red robe appeared from a very distance.

There was only one way to go, and everyone was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it, so they reacted before they were able to do so, and told everyone to hurry back to both sides to avoid it, so that they could pass.

Liu Zhu also noticed something strange and hurriedly got out of the carriage.

But he didn't want to, this team of soldiers and horses rushed to the nearest place in an instant, and saw that there were thousands of people, but they did not have the intention of going over, but surrounded them.

At a loss, the soldiers and horses made way of a road, only to see a general with a fierce beast carved on his armor and a halberd in his hand, riding on his horse and asking in a solemn voice: "Where do you come from?" ”

As soon as Bibu Langzhong saw this posture, he could tell who the person was, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Isn't it the Chu general of the Dingyi Army?" ”

The person who came looked at him, and at a glance, he concluded that he didn't know this person, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just nodded slightly, it was Chu Yangguan.

But before Bibu Langzhong continued to speak, the subordinates of the "Driving Department Langzhong" in the team heard his name, and they all became nervous, whether they held the knife or frowned, they were all seen by this group of Dingyijun.

Without even saying a word, a group of people rushed directly into the team, and in the exclamations of the family members, they almost arrested all the guards of the eldest prince in one breath, escorted them to both sides, and searched their bodies clean.

After a while, dozens of tokens were made up and presented to Chu Yangguan together.

Chu Yangguan only glanced at it, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Your Highness's people? From Tongcheng? ”

Bibe Langzhong hurriedly replied: "General Chu, we were sent to Tongcheng by Song Xiang, and we will go back to Lianzhou at this time." But they are not all the way to us, these people were personally placed in the ranks by His Highness, and they were killed by them in the driving department that came with me. ”

Bibe Langzhong didn't dare to say bluntly that the eldest prince killed people, so he only said vaguely. Chu Yangguan became interested, picked up the heavy halberd, pointed at the guards who were escorted down, and said, "They killed?" ”

Bibu Langzhong didn't dare to nod or shake his head, but he just looked at Chu Yangguan and didn't dare to speak.

Chu Yangguan waved his halberd casually and asked, "Song Xiang is good?" ”

He was about to say "yes" when he heard the sound of sharp blades slashing into the flesh on both sides, and then he saw the guards who had been escorted out fall to the ground together, causing another round of screams and exclamations in the team.

At this time, the few guards who had not been caught before they were still calm saw that the situation was not good, and saw that there was a gap on the side of the team, so they ran away, trying to drill into the woods, but they were directly handed over here by a volley of archers who had been prepared for a long time.

"The eyes are really sharp." Chu Yangguan laughed, and asked Bibu Langzhong again, "Is it clean this time?" ”

Hibe Langzhong knew that he was his own person, but the general's actions also scared him. Hurriedly looked carefully at the team, and immediately nodded again and said "yes" several times.

Only then did Chu Yangguan finally throw off the halberd and throw it to his guards. He nodded Liu Zhu, who was obviously one of the leaders of the team, with his chin: "Who are you?" ”

Bibu Langzhong preemptively said: "This is Tongcheng Taishou Liu, His Royal Highness ordered to enter Beijing with me..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Zhi skillfully fall to the ground, shouting with a crying voice: "General Chu! Xia Guan originally just wanted to do his part for His Royal Highness, but he didn't want His Highness to know, forcing me to let me take my family to Lianzhou, who knows what is waiting for me in Lianzhou, fortunately I met the general, and the general saved me! ”

After Liu finished shouting a long paragraph, he endured the pain in his waist and abdomen, and he didn't care about the wound bursting, and the whole person lay on the ground. He didn't need to shout out any specific reasons this time, he just needed to let Chu Yangguan know who he planned to be as soon as possible.

"Are you the Taishou of Tongcheng?" Chu Yangguan looked at him like this, his expression was quite playful, he muttered, urged the horse forward, and came directly to Liu Zhu's side, "Have you seen His Second Highness?" ”

But hearing his question, Liu Zhu's heart tightened, thinking that you coincidentally asked something bad, he originally wanted to deal with it calmly, but it can be seen that Chu Yangguan acted a little, his tongue was somewhat knotted, and fortunately turned into a crying voice, so that it didn't seem so abrupt: "General, Xia Guan has not had the honor to meet the Second Highness, but he has heard about the demeanor of the Second Highness, and he always looks forward to seeing it one day." ”

No matter how sincere Liu Shu said, Chu Yangguan didn't take it seriously, he knew that he was talking nonsense, so he ignored it, didn't talk back to him, let alone let him get up, but rode past him on horseback with the reins and patrolled around the side of the team.

When he reached the middle of the team, Chu Yangguan suddenly stopped and asked at the coffin, "Who is here?" ”
