At night, He Yeqi lay on the bed tossing and turning, recalling what her sister said over and over again. Lonely Huaien and Yuan Junbao are going to rebel, this is a big secret, but it is also an advanced ladder. He is in his thirties this year, and he has worked hard for many years, and he is still just a petty official from the seventh grade. God favors him, is he going to run in time? If he goes to the yamen to denounce it, once it is verified, wouldn't it be the first achievement? Although Yuan Junbao is his brother-in-law, since he is unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust. Besides, for the sake of his own good future, he can't take care of it so much. Thinking of this, his mind calmed down, and he fell asleep not long after.

The next morning, He Yeqi did not go to the yamen to order, but came to Yongzhou Mansion and told the soldiers guarding the yamen that he was looking for Lord Changshi. The soldier asked, "Who are you?" What's the matter with finding Lord Changshi? ”

"I am the provincial record, and I have something important to tell you about the long history, and I can't delay."

Seeing that he was serious, the soldier did not dare to slack off, told him to wait a while, and said that he would go in and report it. After a while, the soldier walked out and told him to go inside the lobby and wait. He Yeqi walked into the lobby, and as soon as his butt touched the bench, he heard someone say: "Who is looking for this official?" He hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and saluted: "He Yeqi, the secretary of the provincial department, meet Lord Changshi." ”

Changshi Mo Kunming glanced at him, nodded, and asked the other party to sit down, while he went to the main seat to sit down, looked at him and said, "What is the record, what is the matter?" ”

He Yeqi repeated what his sister overheard locally. When Mo Kunming heard this, he gasped, and said with round eyes: "Is this serious?" ”

"It's true! Such a big thing, the lower officials will never dare to believe it! ”

Mo Kunming pondered for a moment, then called a servant and asked him to call Captain Tie Du over. After a while, Tie Yuan walked in, and Mo Kunming asked He Yeqi to repeat the original words. Then, the two discussed privately and decided to go to see the king of Chu immediately.

Mo Kunming ordered a carriage, and then together with Tie Duwei, he took He Yeqi and took the carriage to the Chu Palace. Li Zhiyun went to work in the arsenal, and Wei Xiaobao received them. Mo Kunming said that he had something important to meet the king of Chu, so Wei Xiaobao asked the servant to go to the arsenal to call Li Zhiyun back.

Li Zhiyun returned to the Chu Palace, took off his work clothes, changed into loose civilian clothes, and then walked into the front hall. As soon as the three of them saw each other, they immediately stepped forward to salute. After Li Zhiyun returned the salute, he looked at He Yeqi and said, "Who is this?" ......" He Yeqi hurriedly introduced himself: "He Yeqi, the record of the lower official sect and the lower province, has something important to report to the king of Chu......" Then, he repeated what he heard from his sister again.

After Li Zhiyun heard this, he frowned. At this time, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu walked in, and Zhang Zheng came to his side and whispered in his ear: "Lord Wang, those two guests went to Lonely Huaien's mansion yesterday. When Li Zhiyun heard this, his brows tightened. He thought quickly, according to the information provided by He Yeqi, Lonely Huaien and Yuan Junbao were undoubtedly going to rebel. The fact that Captain Hu did not make any further moves showed that they did not plan to attack Chang'an for the time being. So, what exactly is their plan of action?

Li Zhiyun suddenly thought that he heard yesterday that Abba was going to Pu to surrender today. So, will these people take action halfway? Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked Zhang Zheng: "Has my father started driving?" Zhang Zheng nodded and said, "The emperor's imperial driver has left Chang'an at the beginning of his life. When Li Zhiyun heard this, he said to Wei Xiaobao: "Go quickly, bring the map near Chang'an!" Wei Xiaobao hurriedly walked out of the house and instructed the servant to go to the study to get the map.

After a while, the map was laid out on the desk in front of Li Zhiyun. He found Chang'an's location and slowly moved his finger in Pu Zheng's direction. Just out of Chang'an for more than ten miles, there is a mountain, called Yulong Mountain, and the official road just passes through the valley of this mountain. He tapped his finger twice and said, "Right here." ”

Immediately, he took off the jade pendant on his body and handed it to Wei Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, you quickly go to the East Palace to find my eldest brother, tell him the situation, and ask him to mobilize the Shence army to reinforce my father." "The emperor is on patrol, the crown prince is in charge of the country, and only the eldest brother has the right to mobilize the Shence army. Wei Xiaobao took the jade pendant, agreed, turned around and hurried away.

Li Zhiyun said to Cai Hu again: "You take someone to the inn and arrest those two guests!" Cai Hu clenched his fists and said that he obeyed, turned around and left. In the end, he said to Zhang Zheng: "You immediately mobilize all the cavalry in the palace and follow me to chase my father!" After Zhang Zheng left, Captain Tie Du stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "King Chu, I will also go back to mobilize cavalry and go with you!" Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet at Yanxingmen." ”

Only Mo Kunming and He Yeqi were left in the room. Li Zhiyun walked up to He Yeqi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If my father can get out of danger this time, this king will guarantee you to be promoted to three levels in a row." When He Yeqi heard this, he gratefully arched his hand and said, "King Xie Chu!" Li Zhiyun nodded and said to Mo Kunming: "Mo Changshi, you can take him back." ”

Li Zhiyun didn't bother to change his clothes, and hurried to the gate of the palace. Zhang Zheng had already mobilized twenty or thirty cavalrymen. He took the reins of the horse, stepped on the horse, and led everyone to gallop out of the palace of the king of Chu. When they came to Yanxingmen, Captain Tiedu had gathered dozens of cavalry waiting there. When the two teams met, they rushed out of the city gate and galloped toward the wilderness.

Li Zhiyun took the lead and led everyone to gallop on the official road. Since he first attacked Wugong County, he rode a horse for the first time, and he knew the importance of riding in ancient times, and later whenever he had the opportunity, he practiced diligently. Now, he's able to steer the horse with great skill. Although the horse was flying and the scenery on both sides flashed back quickly, he kept swinging his horse. It had been more than an hour since Abba's royal car left Chang'an, and he didn't know whether the team's march was fast or slow, and he didn't know if he could catch up with Abba before he entered Jade Dragon Mountain. He only knew that Abba had only brought 2,000 Praetorian Guards with him on this trip, and if he encountered an ambush in the valley, it would be difficult to get out of trouble. So, he had to chase after it desperately.

After the horses had galloped about two incense sticks, he finally saw the long line ahead, and the huge jade chariot and yellow banner in the middle of the procession. He let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did he notice that the horse was foaming at the mouth, and quickly loosened the reins slightly, otherwise the horse could fall to the ground and die at any moment.

Li Zhiyun chased to the side of Yu Yuan and shouted to the chief eunuch who accompanied him: "Stop, I want to see Abba, I have something important to report!" When the chief manager heard this, he hurriedly ordered to stop, and then boarded the jade chariot and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Chu asked to see him, saying that he had something important to do to play Your Majesty." ”

Abba stepped down from the jade chariot, and Li Zhiyun hurriedly stepped forward to bow down. When he stood up, Abba looked at him, "What's the matter?" Li Zhiyun arched his hand and said: "Abba, He Yeqi, the secretary of the provincial record of the door, is the brother-in-law of Wei Junbao, the general of the Left Guard, and he accused Wei Junbao and my cousin of being lonely and Huai'en for plotting against him. In addition, Erchen found out that Wei Junbao, Lonely Huaien and the two spies sent to Chang'an by Liu Wuzhou had something to do with each other. Erchen guessed that Lonely Huaien and the others might set up an ambush in the Jade Dragon Mountain in front of them, wanting to be unfavorable to Abba. Erchen implored Abba to drive back to the palace, and it was not too late to go out on patrol after finding out the truth. ”

Abba listened, nodded, and asked the general of the Shence Army to escort him, and ordered in a low voice: "You find two people, disguise themselves as villagers, and go to the Jade Dragon Mountain in front to investigate and see if there is an army ambush." The general clenched his fists and said that he obeyed, and turned around to make arrangements.

After Abba re-boarded the jade chariot, the back team of the royal driving team became the front team and turned around and went back to Chang'an.

Jade Dragon Mountain, in the midst of a forest, Lonely Huai'en, Yuan Junbao and Xie Rong waited anxiously. At this time, a scout ran over and hugged his fists and said, "General Qiyu, the emperor's imperial car is three or four miles away, and he suddenly turned around and went back." When Lonely Wynne heard this, he looked at the two subordinates in horror: "What's the matter?" Have we been discovered? ”

"I don't know." The two were also at a loss.

Wei Junbao thought for a while and said, "Let's hurry up and catch up and surround them and annihilate them all!" Xie Rong also looked at Lonely Huaien. Lonely Wynn pondered for a moment and said, "No, this place is too close to Chang'an. Although they only have 2,000 people, they are well-equipped Praetorian Guards, even if we surround them, it is impossible to annihilate them in a short time, once the army of Chang'an comes to reinforce, then we will fall into passivity. ”

"What then?"

"Let's go back to the barracks first."

After Lonely Wynne led the army back to the barracks, he instructed his two men: "Today's affairs must be kept secret, and no one in the barracks is allowed to go out, not even a fly is allowed to fly out." Early tomorrow morning, we will set off to attack Xia County. ”

"Yes!"

However, in the evening, a messenger came to Chang'an, announced the emperor's imperial decree, and ordered Lonely Huai'en, Wei Junbao and Xie Rong to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. After the envoy left, Lonely Huaien brought the two henchmen to discuss, whether to go to Chang'an or not? Yuan Junbao advocated not going, but Xie Rong said: "If the resistance is not complied with, it is an open rebellion, and the imperial court will inevitably send troops to encircle and suppress us." After arguing, the two of them turned their eyes to Lonely Wynne, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Lonely Huaien pondered for a long time and said, "According to what you two have seen, has our previous plan been known to the imperial court?" Yuan Junbao shook his head and said: "Probably not, we are acting so secretly, how can the imperial court know?" ”

"Then why did Li Yuan suddenly return to Chang'an?"

"Maybe something happened in the palace? Or what happened at the front? ”

……

The three of them discussed and discussed, and finally set off to Chang'an overnight with a fluke mentality. However, as soon as they entered Tonghuamen, they were taken down and put in prison. Abba handed over the three to the Criminal Department. After the trial between the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the crime of the three people was undoubtedly conclusive. Abba issued an order to kill Lonely Wynne and his close friend, and all his family property was confiscated.
