Li Zhen squatted down and looked at this guy with sharp eyes, "Let's make it clear, how many Hu monks are there, and when will they enter the post station?"

The man trembled and said: "About thirty Hu monks, we don't understand what they say, anyway, they want to drink wine and eat meat, and they are going to leave when they are full of food and drink, and Yi Cheng asked them for money, but they were annoyed, and they pulled out their knives and slashed indiscriminately, I ran fast, or. I've been stabbed!"

Li Zhen's mind changed sharply, and he asked again, "Do they carry weapons like short spears?"

"Them. Each person carries a leather bag, and there seem to be five wooden poles in the skin, which is probably the short spear that the official said!"

Li Zhen stood up and stared ahead, his eyesight was excellent, and he faintly saw a building standing two miles away next to the official road, which should be the post station that this guy said.

He pondered for a moment, then said to the two subordinates who were good at light skills: "You two go and have a look, be careful!"

"Obey!"

Two of his subordinates rushed away, and everyone waited patiently for news on the official road, and after a while, one of his subordinates rushed back to report: "Report to the commander, there are several corpses in the post station, and those Hu monks have left." ”

"Let's go! ”

Everyone turned over and got on their horses, urging their horses to gallop towards the post station, and only a moment later they came to the post station, and the wounded man ran into the post station first, and then his cry was heard, "These thieves!"

Li Zhen led everyone into the hall of the post station, the lights had been lit, only to see that the hall was full of messes, all the tables were smashed, there were fragments of dishes everywhere, there were three corpses lying in the corner, blood was flowing all over the ground, and the guy was kneeling in front of a corpse and crying loudly.

Li Zhen's face was gloomy and terrifying, and Zhao Qiuniang waved her hand and led everyone around to investigate.

Not long after, there was a faint cry of a child in the back room, and I saw Zhao Qiuniang holding out a girl, less than a year old, wearing a small pink cloth jacket, tied a pigtail, covered with blood, and crying.

Zhao Qiuniang sighed, "There was a woman in the back who was killed by them, and the child lay on the woman and cried." ”

"This is our child. ”

The man wiped his tears and stepped forward and pointed to a corpse at the door, "That's Yicheng." ”

Li Zhen's eyes showed a fierce murderous intent, and the opponent ordered: "Don't rush on the road first, clean up the post station, and we will leave after dawn." ”

Everyone got busy, and Li Zhen stepped forward and asked, "Where are our people hiding, does the eldest sister know?"

Zhao Qiuniang gently patted the child's back, the child was already asleep in her arms, and she whispered: "There is a wine shop in Yanshi County that is an internal security asset, and they should be hiding in that kind of wine shop." ”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and a thought became clearer and stronger in his mind.

"I have an idea, let's discuss it!"

When it was almost dawn, Zhao Qiuniang's eldest apprentice Zhang Wei rushed to the post station from Yanshi County.

Zhang Wei is the leader of the rogue in the Nanshi area, but his real identity is a member of the internal guard, Zhao Qiuniang's right-hand man, extremely shrewd and capable, he once led a group of scoundrels to harass Li Quan's wine shop, and was taught a hard lesson by Li Zhen, when Li Zhen became the deputy commander, his expression was more or less embarrassed.

"Humble to Commander Li!" he stepped forward and saluted on one knee.

Li Zhen hurriedly helped him up, he could feel Zhang Wei's embarrassment, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't fight, don't know each other, don't worry about the past anymore." ”

Li Zhen's smile dissolved the embarrassment in Zhang Wei's heart a lot, he sat down at the small table, took out a map from his arms and spread it on the small table, "This is a hand-drawn map of Yanshi County." ”

Li Zhen and Zhao Qiuniang stepped forward and paid attention to the map on the table, Li Zhen pointed to a long road, "This is the official road!"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Wei pointed to a small pavilion again, "At present, we are here, this is the post station, less than thirty miles away from Yanshi County." ”

"Ah Wei, where are those Hu monks now? Have you seen them?" Zhao Qiuniang asked on the side.

"Back to the master, Hu Seng is in the county, I went out of the city over the wall, but they forced the soldiers to open the city, there was a lot of noise, they had Xue Huaiyi's gold medal, no one dared to provoke them. ”

Li Zhen pondered for a long time and asked Zhang Wei, "How many fast horses do you have over there?"

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "We have five horses, and they are all good horses. ”

Li Zhen said to Zhao Qiuniang again: "We also have four good horses here, and with my war horses, there are a total of ten fast horses, which can deal with that group of Hu monks." ”

Zhao Qiuniang was shocked, "Does the son also want to go out in person?"

Li Zhen nodded, "Of course I'll lead the team!"

Yanshi county town is not big, the circumference of the city wall is only more than ten miles, the residents in the city are mainly military households, there are large-scale military camps distributed on the north and south sides of the county seat, it is close to the New Year, the county town is also particularly lively, the first sunny day after the snow, the street is bustling, crowded with the people who rush to the market.

Among the crowds carrying large bags of New Year's goods, a group of about 30 monks stood out, who were rude and impudent, constantly whipping the people who stood in their way, breaking into liquor stores and inns, and searching for suspicious targets.

This Hu Seng team was one of the ten search teams sent by Xue Huaiyi, and their goal was a team that had returned from Songshan and carried tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver.

Xue Huaiyi was furious, this is the wealth he has accumulated over the past few years, he is not willing to be taken away by Shangguan Wan'er like this, he sent three hundred warrior monks, divided into ten teams, to search near Luoyang.

"Who are these monks?"

Pedestrians on the street were talking, and many people were extremely angry and resentful of their ferocity, "Is it so arrogant, the government doesn't care?"

"Who dares to care! They are Xue Huaiyi's people, and with Xue Huaiyi supporting them, the county order can only be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

More and more people gathered on the street, far from afar, referring to this group of fierce and rude Hu monks gossiping.

But dozens of monks turned a deaf ear, and groups searched the shops and liquor stores, and the slightest resistance was gathered around them, punching and kicking.

Seven or eight Hu Seng rushed into a wine shop near the West City Gate, kicked over the wine table near the gate for Hu Seng, and the table of dishes and ping-pong smashed to pieces, and several drinkers were so frightened that they stumbled and fled, and the originally lively lobby was suddenly silent.

These monks also had a clear goal, and rushed straight to the stable, just looking at the drinkers, they couldn't see any suspicions, but the horses could see it, and the shopkeeper stepped forward tremblingly and bowed down and said, "May I ask what the senior monks are doing?"

Before the words were finished, the shopkeeper was slapped to the ground for Hu Seng, and after a while, several Hu Seng came back from the stable, all shaking their heads, indicating that there was no accident.

At this moment, there was a sudden low sound of antlers on the street, and the sound of the horn was very urgent, which was a signal of the current situation, and several monks immediately rushed out of the wine shop.

The streets were in a state of chaos, and the people in the streets were screaming in fright, stumbling and running in both directions, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and a procession of about ten men was galloping on horseback, all carrying huge burdens, and constantly looking behind nervously.

Nearly a dozen monks rode horses to chase after them, they shouted and screamed, and they struggled to blow the horns, and more than a dozen monks rushed out of several shops, they turned over and got on their horses, and quickly converged on the street, chasing the ten riders.

"That's them, they have gold!"

Several Hu monks shouted loudly, and one Hu monk handed a piece of gold to Hu Seng Ling, "This is the gold they dropped!"

Hu Seng Ling took this heavy piece of gold, weighing at least two or three catties, his eyes lit up with greed, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Chase me, you must catch them!"

Thirty monks chased after them, staring closely at the ten knights running ahead.

Two teams of men and horses galloped in Yanshi County, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the people on the street hid under the eaves on both sides, talking a lot, and they didn't know what was going on.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were also frightened and dodged away, and ten knights rushed out of the county seat in an instant, running in the direction of Luoyang, and thirty Hu monks followed closely behind

Among the ten knights of the internal guard, Li Zhen was the one who successfully lured this group of monks with a piece of gold, and fled all the way to the west, their horses were extremely fast, like a strong arrow, stirring up the rolling yellow dust, galloping on the official road, and the Hu monks behind were also running extremely fast, shouting loudly to catch up.

In less than half an hour, Li Zhen led his men to the post station, they rushed into the post station one after another, dozens of Hu monks behind were overjoyed, and ordered a few people to block the back door for Hu Seng, and the rest of the people dismounted, drew their swords and rushed into the post station.

The post station covers an area of about seven or eight acres, composed of dozens of houses, just a group of Hu monks just rushed into the post station, Zhao Qiuniang led dozens of internal guards from all around, a row of arrows shot out, and several Hu monks at the back door screamed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, billowing smoke rose from the post station, and in the thick smoke, Li Zhen led ten of his men to rush out of the back door, and Li Zhen shouted: "They are behind, stop them!"

He stretched out his bow and arrows, turned around and shot an arrow, the arrow hit the throat of Hu Seng Ling, Hu Seng Ling covered his throat and fell to the ground, more than a dozen internal guard soldiers who were ambushed outside the back door raised their crossbows and released arrows together, the arrows shot into the back door, several Hu Seng fell to the ground with arrows, and the rest of Hu Seng was so frightened that they retreated into the room.

The fire borrowed the wind, the fire of the post station burned bigger and bigger, the flames rose into the air, the black smoke billowed out, and it was clearly visible more than ten miles away, and the fierce battle inside and outside the post station also reached the white-hot Cheng Dù, and the monks who were trapped in the post station desperately broke out, they howled and rushed out of the gate, or climbed over the wall.

But dozens of internal guards under the leadership of Li Zhen, tried to break through the Hu Seng to kill without mercy, several Hu Seng rushed out of the main gate, five or six arrows shot head-on, three Hu Seng screamed and fell to the ground, the last person dodged the arrow, waved a knife to the internal guard to kill, five internal guard soldiers rushed up, and he was cut into pieces.

Li Zhen led a few soldiers around the post station, "Commander, there's a person over there!" shouted an internal guard soldier, pointing to the wall.

Li Zhen also saw that a Hu monk climbed over the wall, he sneered, unhurriedly opened his bow and set up an arrow, and as soon as the bowstring was loosened, an arrow shot out like lightning, shot through the back of Hu Seng's neck, and nailed him to the wall.

"Good archery!"

Zhao Qiuniang applauded from afar, and she urged her to step forward and smiled at several internal guard soldiers: "This battle is too exciting, and our Commander Li will definitely establish great prestige among the internal guards." ”

Li Zhen's thoughts were much deeper than Zhao Qiuniang's praise, and he didn't want to say more about it for the time being, so he smiled and asked, "Is there still a monk Hu breaking through at the front door?"

"The front door and the back door are gone, and they are probably dead!" Zhao Qiuniang looked at the flames that were getting bigger and bigger, and completely annihilated this group of Hu monks, and finally let out the sullen breath she had been holding in her heart for a few days.

The fire gradually engulfed the post station completely, and thirty Hu monks were burned, shot, and killed, and in the end, none of them could escape with their lives, and all of them were annihilated in the post station.

Under the leadership of Li Zhen, the new commander of the internal guards, the news of the annihilation of 30 Hu monks under Xue Huaiyi east of Luoyang spread quickly throughout the government and the opposition, causing the government and the opposition to shake, like a boulder smashed into the calm water, and suddenly set off a thousand waves.

Countless people rejoiced about it, but many people scolded him for being stupid and daring, and dared to offend Xue Huaiyi, the favorite of the Holy Lord, and everyone deduced that he was about to be overthrown as the deputy commander who had not yet sat in the hot position
