Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi turned around and returned to the front hall, the rain had gradually weakened, and the guards of the forbidden army had worked hard to scoop out most of the rain in the hall during the conversation just now.

Li Congjia had ordered a few guards to hide behind the door, and heard Li Yuan's words clearly, and his heart was extremely angry, but he seemed to have a firm intention to kill, seeing Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi hurrying over, he immediately waved lightly with expressionless faces, and under the back porch of the messy hall, ten big men in Wuping military uniforms came out of nowhere.

Zhou Xingfeng only glanced at it slightly, and then recognized the familiar face coming to him, and couldn't help but shout: "Shi Fan!" ”

"Brother! It's late to come down! You have suffered! The agitated sergeant, after first bowing to the calm Li Congjia, then led the nine people behind him to walk straight to Zhou Xingfeng, and then fell to his knees with a thud.

Zhou Xingfeng's eyes were already red at this moment, and it seemed that the corners of his eyes were still slightly overflowing with bitterness, and he hurriedly leaned over and picked up the sergeant named Yang Shifan with both hands, and he couldn't speak for a while because of his agitation.

Yang Shifan was not among the "Ten Brothers" in Langzhou in the past, nor was he a general in the army, but he was quite famous among the Langzhou soldiers, just because he served as the secretary of the department under Ma Xicao and Liu Yan for six years.

The reporter in charge, from the eighth grade, is the subordinate officer of the Jiedu envoy, assists the Shangguan in charge of the military, government and civil affairs, and controls the military situation and military supplies in the army and the promotion of orders, don't look at his low quality, as the "confidential secretary" of the Jiedu envoy, but he is really the master who can hold chicken feathers as an arrow.

But Yang Shifan has always been a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, forbearance and few words, and did not take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of his position, so he naturally gained the favor and respect of a lot of Langzhou sergeants, which is also an important reason why he was able to be favored by Ma Xicao and Liu Yan, two coaches with very different personalities, and they were also smooth sailing in Langzhou.

This small boat, which was moving cautiously in the turbulent times, finally docked after Li Yuan's arrival. According to Yang Shifan, as a subordinate official under Liu Yan in the past, after Li Yuanjian made the festival, his position as secretary was neatly removed, but he did not make other arrangements, but acted as a clerk in the government office who did not even have a good taste.

In the past, not to mention the personality, or the position of secretary was too important, Zhou Xingfeng had a close relationship with Yang Shifan in private, and I have to say that his means were extraordinary, and in two or three years, he could make Yang Shifan, who was extremely sullen and uninspired, chase after him and call his brother, and formed a deep friendship comparable to that of a righteous brother.

Naturally, Yang Shifan gradually got along with Chen Li and other "Five Tigers" under Zhou Xingfeng, and all military planes of all sizes were revealed and discussed in advance, and he secretly assisted Zhou Xingfeng many times. Just said that at the beginning of the Tang Army's westward expedition, Zhou Xingfeng "raised righteousness", it was Yang Shifan who secretly opened the side door for Zhang Wenbiao while Liu Yan was asleep......

At this moment, Zhou Xingfeng finally saw this good brother who thought about it day and night, and his heart naturally boiled, although he was not sure whether these old departments of the Tang Dynasty still maintained their loyalty to him, but the arrival of Yang Shifan, a key figure, obviously made him more confident in the next major events, just because this former secretary of Wuping Jiedu had lived in the government office for six years, and who else was more familiar with the environment than him?

Yang Shifan arched his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Brother! I wanted to come immediately after receiving the news, but I hated that Li Yuan's army was really strict, and it was difficult to enter and exit during the day, until I heard that the general had arrived at the post house at night, and I just happened to take advantage of Li Yuan's departure from the house, and managed to rush in the dark! In this verse, please forgive your sins! ”

Zhou Xingfeng was happy in his heart, how could he care about such a flaw, he shook his head slightly at this moment, and then enthusiastically pulled Yang Shifan to get up, and his eyes gently glanced at the other nine people, but he couldn't help frowning. The nine sergeants who followed Yang Shifan to risk his death, although they were all burly and tall, they were all unfamiliar faces, but none of their loyal "five tigers" appeared, and they immediately became vigilant.

"Wait! Shi Fan, why don't you see Chen Li and the five of them? But can't get in touch? ”

Yang Shifan paused, suddenly showed a sad expression, shook his head and sighed: "Alas! Don't the generals know? Poor Chen Li and the other five brothers were beheaded by that Li Yuan when they were in Linyuan City a few days ago! This person seems to be benevolent and generous, but in fact, he has long been murderous to us soldiers, and everyone in the army is now in danger......"

Like a thunderbolt through his body, Zhou Xingfeng was stunned in place for an instant, and then rushed to the crown angrily, clenching his fists at a broken beam beside him, and hammered it a few times, "Kacha" screamed, cracks appeared, and the dust that had been stacked for a long time carried the sewage and splashed down.

After Yang Shifan sighed a few times, he wiped a handful of clear snot with his hands, then glanced at the nine people beside him, and whispered to Zhou Xingfeng: "Brother, Brother Chen, they have already gone!" Please mourn! It's useless to lament, it's the big things that matter now! These nine people were all Liu Yan's guards in the past, and they almost all died under Li Yuan's butcher's knife, because they had known Zai Xia for a long time, and Zai Xia managed to bribe the Tang army to rescue them......

They are all dissatisfied with the harsh government of the Tang people, and have endured it until now, and the return of the elder brother this time can be described as a long drought and a rain! Brother, don't look at them as hard kung fu, but they are not well-developed limbs and simple-minded people, not only do they kill cleanly, but they also have a clear understanding of every corner of the Jiedu Embassy Office......"

Before Zhou Xingfeng could speak, a cold and thick voice suddenly echoed in the hall: "Zhou Tingshi, can just ten people complete the big thing you said?" Isn't Mo teasing this king? Why, they all have three heads and six arms, or can they all fly the eaves and walk the wall? ”

Looking up at Li Congjia's playful smile, Zhou Xingfeng took a deep breath, then stepped forward quickly, arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there are not many soldiers, but fine, Yang Shifan and the other ten people are extremely familiar with Li Yuan's residence, and it is absolutely indispensable to achieve great things tomorrow...... It's just that the five tiger generals in the past have already folded, and they have to re-plan again......"

Li Congjia snorted lightly, and then his eyes flashed with coldness: "There are still three hours, and the sky will be bright!" Without further ado, please prepare as soon as possible! If you let this king run for nothing, you know the consequences......"

The room was almost full of Li Congjia's guards, and Zhou Xingfeng was also desperate on this trip, but he could only swallow his saliva in his heart, and Nuo Nuo said: "I understand!" ”
