Chapter 53 Escorting the gold dust was robbed all the way, and the strong man rescued the mountain people

Just after Qixi Festival, Qi Dao came to see Lin Fu and said that Yang Silang saw Emperor Xuan at night and decided to restore the northern envoy.

Lin Fu cried and said with a sad face when he heard this: "Alas, the old man originally wanted to dissuade the saint, but he didn't want to be driven ahead by him again this time. ”

Qi Dao was puzzled and said, "Lord Yue, the envoy to the north is just a routine business, why are you so worried?" ”

"Don't underestimate him." Lin Fuqian's face lengthened, "This time, Yang Silang bypassed the old man and decided to recover, he must have other plans." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Over the years, Chu Mohan has been too close to the old man, and the old man is worried that he wants to use the name of the northern envoy to secretly investigate."

"This ...... This trick surnamed Yang is also yin enough. Qi Wei thought about it, "The wood is already in the boat, why don't you send a message to Fan Yang?" ”

"No need." Lin Fu picked up the teacup slightly and took two sips, "Young Master Chu will tell him." ”

Qi Wei nodded after hearing this.

The next day, Li Yunhan got up early in the morning, but saw that the cold wind was blowing and the sky was dark.

When he rushed back to the concert hall, Luo Feng had been waiting for him in the study for a long time.

Luo Feng took down the jar of imperial wine from Bogujia, poured a full glass, handed it over with a smile, and invited him to drink it.

Li Yunhan gently pushed it away: "My lord, I said that I have quit drinking." ”

"Hugh will hide it from me." Luo Feng's tone was cold, "Mr. not only drinks alcohol, but also drinks like a life. ”

Li Yunhan hesitated and was silent.

Luo Feng put down the wine glass, took a water bladder from the bedside, and said, "This is sir?" ”

Li Yunhan saw that it was the one hidden in the rockery, and suddenly felt that he couldn't hide it, so he raised his head slightly and drank the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Good wine." ”

After being silent for a moment, Li Yunhan saw Luo Feng frowning and asked him what was on his mind?

"Sir, good eyesight." Luo Feng nodded, "Recently, a batch of valuable medicinal materials from Hexi urgently need to be transported to Yuyang, but Luo is too busy with official business to make the trip, so he is depressed and uneasy." ”

"I see." Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "There are hundreds of dart shops in the capital, and adults only need to choose one with a good reputation." ”

"Why do you need any darts, it's just that there is one less capable person to lead the team."

"The envoy of the Lu Yuan is diligent and loyal, what will he do?" Li Yunhan said tentatively.

"Although the envoy of the Lu Yuan is loyal and dutiful, after all, he is old and frail, and I still can't rest assured that he will go alone."

Li Yunhan arched his hand and said, "If the adults don't dislike it, Bai is not willing to go with the team." ”

"You," Luo Feng frowned, "It's thousands of miles away from Yuyang, and there are many rugged trails that are difficult and dangerous, and I'm afraid that Mr. won't be able to bear this kind of hardship." Besides, if you encounter a robbery by mountain bandits on the way, this knife and gun will ......"

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll deal with this."

"Hmm; Mr. is willing to go, of course Luo can't ask for it. Luo Feng thought for a moment, "However, as soon as Mr. leaves, who will be handed over to this matter of copying the Di Bao?" ”

"Have you forgotten that the newspaper has now been changed to print......

Luo Feng laughed when he heard this: "Yo, look at my memory, it's really forgetful." ”

"In the future, if you report to the palace, adults can find Bodhi Printing Workshop." Li Yunhan added.

Luo Feng stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

"I don't know when I'm leaving?" Li Yunhan asked.

"Tomorrow morning."

Li Yunhan walked to the window and watched for a while; The sky was very gloomy, and a cold wind blew through the dead leaves, doubling the feeling of desolation. He turned around and said to Luo Feng, without further ado, he can set off tonight.

"Why is the gentleman so anxious?"

Li Yunhan said: "For many days, Chang'an City has been extremely hot, and there is not a trace of raindrops. The weather has changed in the morning, the south wind is gradually rising, and it is expected that there will be heavy rain in the Gyeonggi area after midnight tomorrow; Once the rain season is in place, it's not easy. ”

Luo Feng walked to the window, looked up and watched the sky for a while, and said to himself: "Well, it's about to change." ”

Li Yunhan suggested that the cargo team might as well set off early and get out of Tongguan before the rainstorm came, so that the rest of the journey would be much more relaxed.

"Well, of course it's good to leave early, but this matter still needs to be reported to Qing Gongzi."

Li Yunhan listened and was silent.

At this time, Miaojin walked in from outside the door and said loudly: "Dad, I also want to go to Yuyang!" ”

"Nonsense, what are you going to do!" Luo Feng scolded.

"No, the boy is going to go." Miao Jin begged.

Li Yunhan smiled at Miaojin and said, "Obedient, your father is reluctant to let you go." ”

"Dad, I want to go back to Yuyang to see grandma." Miaojin tugged at the corner of Luo Feng's clothes, "I haven't seen her for more than three years, I miss her!" ”

"Jin'er, this time the time is too tight, next time Dad will take you!"

"No, I just want to go back to Yuyang."

Li Yunhan made a round and said to Luo Feng: "Don't worry, my lord; With me, I will take care of her on the way. ”

Luo Feng saw that he couldn't resist his daughter, so he had to reluctantly agree, and told her to be careful about some things on the road......

After that, Luo Feng said to Li Yunhan: "The envoy of the Lu Academy is familiar with the terrain and checkpoints along the way, and he will lead the team to be responsible for the itinerary; As for you, just be a deputy, take care of the goods, and protect the safety of your entourage. ”

When Li Yunhan agreed, Miaojin was a little impatient and wanted to pull him out shopping.

Li Yunhan was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head slightly under Luo Feng's forced gaze.

"Dad, it's still early," Miao Jin grimaced at Luo Feng, "I'm going to buy a lot of gifts for my grandmother." ”

Without waiting for Luo Feng's consent, Miaojin pulled Li Yunhan out of the study.

Approaching dusk, Li Yunhan and Miaojin rode horses and bags to a low willow forest in the east of the city.

Luc was taking someone to count the goods.

Li Yunhan got off the horse and tried to weigh the bag of goods, feeling very heavy. He walked up to Luc and said, "These herbs are too heavy, can the horses eat them?" ”

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "It's just some precious medicinal materials produced in Hexi, rhubarb, codonopsis, angelica, etc., which are only more than 100 catties full; Stop-and-go along the way, there was no problem with the horses. ”

"Uncle Lu, why did the Jinju Academy also sell medicinal herbs?"

Lu Kegan laughed, his face suddenly became serious, and said, "Lord Luo has an explanation, Mr. only needs to be responsible for the safety of the cargo fleet, and don't ask anything else." ”

"And me." Miaojin stepped forward and twitched the corners of her mouth.

Luc smiled: "You, just don't make trouble, how dare you send you a job." ”

"Of course I have a job." Miaojin is serious, "What about you, you are the chief steward; Brother Li is in charge of escorting; As for me, the third child, fight down, in case you two quarrel, you have to listen to me. ”

"Okay, I'll depend on you." Luc smiled and shook his head.

Chu Qing heard that the cargo team had suddenly changed the date and wanted to leave early, so he hurriedly rushed to the outside of the city with You Qian, Batu and others.

When there were still three or five hundred steps away from the cargo team, Chu Qing ordered everyone to stop and go up a high slope. He looked at the cargo team for a while, and suddenly found Li Yunhan's figure, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Li Yunhan, why is he here......"

Chu Qing then instructed You Qian to summon Luc and said that he had something important to see him.

After a while, You Qian brought Luc closer.

Chu Qing looked solemn and asked him why he had to leave early?

Luc said that Lord Locke was worried about the heavy rain tomorrow and was afraid of delaying his trip, so he rushed early.

Chu Qing pointed at Li Yunhan again and asked, "Who is the person in green clothes?" ”

Luc glanced at it and said with a smile: "His name is Bai Chuan, and he is the new transcription director of the mansion." Lord Luo said that he was loyal and reliable, and arranged for him to be a helper for the old slave. ”

"Bai-Chuan." Chu Qing sneered.

"Why, Childe knows him?" Luc asked.

Batu shouted: "Childe, I'll go and tie him up!" ”

Chu Qing glared at him and said, "Presumptuous!" Mr. Bai is an old friend of my poetry club, and he is rude! ”

"Childe and he have known each other for a long time......" Luc was still puzzled.

"That's right," Chu Qing nodded, "This Mr. Bai is not simple, Lu Yuan envoy has to be careful all the way." ”

Luc muttered, "This ......"

"In order to ensure the safety of this shipment, I will let Batu accompany you." Chu Qing grimaced, "Remember, there must be no mistakes in this batch of goods!" ”

Luc hurriedly said yes, returned to the convoy with Batu, and then ordered everyone to leave.

When Li Yunhan saw Batu, he just smiled and nodded.

The caravan passed through the willow forest, marched on the uneven path, and gradually disappeared into the dark night.

Under the Nine Lotus Peak, the night is deep.

With a few birdsongs, a harrier flew out of the gloomy Ape King Cave and circled twice at low altitude and walked away lightly.

Yuan Chong drove a small boat into the cave. He rowed with an oar in one hand and a torch in the other.

The cave is dark and the water is fast. The section of the cave that has just entered the cave is particularly narrow, allowing only one small boat to pass through. After walking two or three hundred steps, when we reached the depths of the cave, the water suddenly became open.

Yuan Chong was holding a torch in his hand and was carefully inspecting, when he suddenly heard a strange sound behind him, he looked back, and there was a small boat rushing towards him in the darkness, and then a strong wind hit.

Yuan Chong was caught off guard for a moment, and his chest ached from the strong wind, like a fire. He was attacked by a surprise attack, so he feigned injury and fell into the water.

The boat he sat on sits down went straight to the cave wall like an arrow, and it shattered in an instant......

Yuan Chong explored the Ape King Cave at night, but was slapped by someone, so he had to return with a feather, and even the trip to Weizhou was canceled. After he returned to the gang, he rested for two days before recovering and went to report to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was very disappointed when he heard this, and said: "With the skill of the helper, it is ridiculous that someone will be plotted." ”

Yuan Chong touched his chest and said, "At that time, Yuan was negligent, and that person suddenly made a palm from behind, and the force was very strong, shaking the boat. ”

"It didn't hurt the vital point, did it?"

"Well, luckily I dived in time to avoid the second palm." Yuan Chong slowed down, "After two days of rest, it's no big deal." ”

"Who would have such skills?"

"Yuan speculated afterwards that only Zixu Zhenren was the most suspicious."

"He ......" Chu Qing pondered for a moment, "This person was once known as the number one sword in the Tang Dynasty, and with all these years of hard work, his martial arts must have reached the peak." Yuan Gang Master, as soon as this matter comes out, he will definitely strengthen his precautions, and he must not act rashly in the future. ”

"The Treasure Quest ......"

"Let's put it down." Chu Qing got up and paced two steps, turning his head, "According to the itinerary, that batch of placer gold is almost in Yuyang; But for some reason, I still can't rest assured. ”

"What does Childe mean?"

"Please help the master to rush to Yuyang immediately to ensure the safety of the gold dust." Chu Qing stared at Yuan Chong.

Yuan Chong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and nodded.

Chu Qing was still a little reassured, and told him what he thought in his heart......

The next day, Li Yunhan, Lu Ke and others escorted the goods to continue northward. Although I have suffered a lot of hardships along the way, I am accompanied by Miaojin, and the two of them talk and laugh, which is also very comfortable.

At noon, the convoy docked at a mountain depression, and everyone found a shady place to sit down and rest, drinking water and eating dry food.

Luc simply finished his meal, drank some water, and squinted for a nap. Suddenly, a few hornets flew in, and he hurriedly waved his hand and flapped it. But the hornet did not go away, but still circled around his head. Luc was helpless and got up to change places.

Luc walked a few steps into the depths of the mountain valley, and suddenly looked up to find a bowl-sized Ganoderma lucidum growing on the cliff wall seven or eight feet away. Unexpectedly, the hillside was slippery, and he had just climbed a few steps before he accidentally slipped down. He hurriedly grabbed a small tree growing out of a crack in the stone wall, and hung his body in the air.

Li Yunhan rushed to the front when he heard the sound, fixed one end of the rope, and put the other end on himself. He cautiously approached Luc and rescued him.

Luc was deeply grateful for this and thanked Li Yunhan for saving his life.

Li Yunhan asked him why he didn't take the official road and choose some rugged mountain roads?

Without waiting for Luc to speak, Miaojin preemptively said: "No, those who don't go to the village and don't have shops all the way are more pitiful than those who escaped from the famine." ”

Luc sighed and said, "The official road is smooth and easy to walk, but the checkpoints are also strict, so it's safe to take the small road." ”

"Lang Lang is peaceful and prosperous, and there are customs clearance documents, what are you afraid of?" Li Yunhan asked.

"You don't understand that." Luc blinked his eyelids, "When you get to someone's territory, the customs clearance paperwork is useless!" They asked for silver, and they waited for the geese to pluck their feathers. As for the path, although it is difficult and remote, it is still much closer. Sir, don't worry, wait a few more days until you understand the state boundaries, and then you will be fine. ”

"Jiezhou ......"

Luc nodded and said, "Yes, there are our people over there, so you don't have to worry about anything." ”

"How long will it take?"

"Two or three days." Luc raised his eyebrows, "Sir, why can't you bear it?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Li Yunhan said and walked away.

The convoy marched slowly for another day, and that night camped in a deserted valley.

Luc was so tired that he reclined on the slope and closed his eyes to rest. Not far away, Batu leaned on a withered willow to nibble on beef and drink wine.

Li Yunhan excused himself to go on patrol. When he arrived at the place where the goods were stacked, he saw that no one was paying attention, so he quietly poked open the bag of medicinal herbs with a knife, and some yellow particles flowed out of the bag. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but it was dust gold. He poked three in a row, all of them, and couldn't help frowning. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout behind him, Li Yunhan looked back, and saw that he was standing awe-inspiring under the dim starlight, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes.

"Oh, it's the general," Li Yunhan withdrew the knife and said nonchalantly, "There are two bags broken, try to plug them." ”

"Hmph, you didn't pierce it." Batu said angrily.

"Bloody mouth! Do you dare to suspect me of stealing? ”

"What's wrong with it!"

While the two were arguing, Luc rushed to the front and said, "Don't quarrel; If the bag is broken, you can ask someone to sew it up, what's the trouble. ”

"Master Lu, he pierced it!" Batu argued.

"How so? Early this morning, I found that the bags had a hole in the grind; Luc pulled Batu down with a smile on his face, "General, go and rest, you have to continue your journey tomorrow." ”

Badu glared at Li Yunhan fiercely when he heard this, and walked away unhappy.

The next day, the convoy slowly marched along the rugged mountain road. Since there were no trees on the side of the road, the sun was shining directly on the skin for a hot pain.

Li Yunhan gave Miaojin a look, and the two deliberately fell behind the team. He told Miaojin that he had checked it last night and that the bag was full of gold dust.

"Dust gold, no wonder it's so heavy." Miaojin eased down, "What does Brother Li ......mean?"

Li Yunhan looked up at the convoy in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Chu Mohan harbored evil intentions and had the intention of rebellion; Once this shipment is in his hands, it will be bad. ”

"Brother, you ......"

"We must not let it fall into the hands of thieves."

"What a willingness!" Miaojin Zhengse said, "Have you thought about it, once something happens to this batch of goods, won't it affect me and my family." ”

"This," Li Yunhan smiled bitterly, "After today, there will be no more chances." ”

"No, I'll talk about it when this batch of goods is delivered!" Miaojin's tone was very firm.

Li Yunhan couldn't help but sigh when he heard it: "Alas-"

Just after the Chinese Valentine's Day, the prince couldn't wait to send Fu Guo to the Gangji Temple to pick up Xiao Liangyuan back to his home.

Xiao Liangyuan has been alone for several months since she entered Buddhism, and she has been very bored and bored by herself. At noon that day, she was chatting with Master Zhuying in the bedroom, when she suddenly saw Fu Guo arrive and said that she would take her back to the palace, and she was very surprised.

After asking the reason, Xiao Liangyuan shed tears excitedly, and sighed lightly: "God, I can't imagine that I can return to the prince in this life......"

Fu Guo drove Xiao Liangyuan back to Shaoyang Palace, and the crown prince, eldest son Li Yu, youngest son Li Yuan and others had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.

When the prince saw her haggard face, he couldn't help but wet his clothes with tears, and muttered: "Ai Concubine, ...... suffered"

Xiao Liangyuan's face was calm, and he said: "But if His Royal Highness is safe, what is the concubine if she is wronged." ”

Li Yuan ran forward and threw herself into Xiao Liangyuan's arms, crying, "Mother, you can count yourself home......"

"Well, amaranth has grown taller again," Xiao Liangyuan caressed him with tears in her eyes, "This time my mother will never leave you again......"

After entering the palace, everyone sat around and complained to each other, so happy. The prince ordered someone to arrange a banquet for Xiao Liangyuan.

While talking and laughing, Cen Shen hurriedly came to report that the Dafu Northern Envoy and his entourage had left the capital.

The prince smiled when he heard this, and let out a long breath.

On another day, the cargo convoy transporting placer gold marched to the boundary of the state, and the weather was still hot and unbearable.

Seeing that the people were hungry and exhausted, Luc spent the night in a government-run salt factory called "Little Pond", intending to have enough to eat and recuperate before traveling.

Taking the opportunity to rest, Li Yunhan chatted with the soldiers guarding the salt farm, only to know that this salt farm was opened by Chu Mohan and was a transit station for the Hedong Gang to traffic goods.

It turned out that Chu Mohan opened seven or eight salt factories in Hedong under the banner of the government, and in addition to keeping them for his own use, most of the remaining salt was sold to the Central Plains, Hexi and other places in exchange for silver taels, gold dust, horses and other needs to enrich the army.

In order to expand the trade with Hui, Chu Mohan planned to open another salt transportation channel in the north. However, because the cargo team had to pass through the jurisdiction of Jiuyuan County, and the county guard Guo Yi did not buy it, he often sent troops to intercept the salt trucks, so that the operation was not smooth.

Chu Mohan was very annoyed, he followed Yan Guo's advice, and sent someone to secretly bribe Guo Yi's subordinate general Nani, trying to get rid of this thorn in the eye.

The convoy rested for the night, left the Koike salt works, and continued its journey north.

Due to a shower of rain during the night, the mountain road was muddy, and the convoy moved slowly like a snail.

Soon after entering a deep ravine, a group of people suddenly rushed in, all of them disheveled and panicked.

Luc thought it was a robbery by mountain bandits, and urgently ordered everyone to show their swords and defend on the spot.

When those people came closer, Li Yunhan looked at it and recognized that the person in charge was Anal.

Anar told Li Yunhan that she had purchased a batch of silk and tea from the Eastern Capital and wanted to transport it to Huifu, but she suddenly encountered mountain bandits and the goods were looted.

When Luc heard this, he hurriedly consulted with the others and planned to take a detour.

Before the convoy could move, a black crowd of people rushed down from both sides of the hillside, all armed with sticks and iron tools, and in a short time surrounded the convoy.

Out of that group of people, a leader named Xiao Xiao. I saw that he was holding a simple knife in his hand, and he stepped forward and shouted: "The guest officer knows each other, hand over the goods as soon as possible, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be polite!" ”

Luc saw that they were outnumbered, and he panicked for a moment.

Li Yunhan saw that this group of people were ragged, yellow-skinned, and did not look like robbers, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "This hero, if you want to buy road money, you can say a price." ”

"What is not priceless." Xiao Xiao sneered, "What about the goods, it's all for me!" ”

Li Yunhan said with a straight face: "That's not good, the brothers are also counting on this batch of goods to live." ”

"Hmph, if you want to survive, drop the goods as soon as possible." Xiao Xiao waved the knife, "Otherwise, Lao Tzu will never agree to this knife!" ”

The two sides were tense for a while.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and then shouted: "The thief is rampant, and Wu Qi is here." ”

When Li Yunhan looked back, he saw a horse flying over. It turned out that after Wu Qi learned that Li Yunhan was going north, he was worried that something would happen to him, so he followed him all the way.

Wu Qi jumped off the horse, swung his sword and went straight to Xiao Xiao, and fought with him.

Although Xiao Xiao is as powerful as a bull knife, his knife speed is slow, and he will not be able to hurt him for a while. Wu Qi was vigorous and skillful in swordsmanship, and gradually gained the upper hand after seven or eight rounds. Despite this, Wu Qi still showed mercy under the sword, and did not mean to put him to death.

The two were fighting inseparably, when suddenly a young man jumped out of the group of mountain people and shouted at Xun Xiao again and again: Stop.

Hearing this, Xun Xiao took two steps back and asked, "Kong Candle, why did you call it stop?" ”

"Don't fight, it's all your own people." Kong Candle replied.

"What, ...... your own people" Xiao Xiao looked confused.

"Brother Hao, they are all old friends I made when I was in Beijing."

"Old friend...... "Xiao Xiao frowned.

"Yes." Kong Zhu pointed at Li Yunhan, "This Mr. Li is the kind man I often tell you about." ”

Xiao laughed loudly and put away the knife as he put away the knife.

At this moment, Li Yunhan also recognized Kong Candle, stepped forward and said, "Brother Kong, why are you here?" ”

"Alas, sir, it's hard to put into words." Kong Zhu sighed lightly, "The government forcibly repatriated the victims, and I didn't want to go back, so I escaped halfway and went to Brother Xun here." ”

"Sir, I'm offended," Xiao bowed, "don't be surprised." ”

"You're welcome." Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "Dare to ask the strong man, why is Xiaoju here to block the road and rob people?" ”

"Hey, I'm also forced to be helpless." Xiao Xiao looked indifferent, "What about these brothers, most of them are Xi and Khitan civilians who built Xiongwu City, because they could not bear the labor and oppression of the government, they had to flee here in order to survive. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Yunhan suddenly realized when he heard this, turned to Lu Ke and said, these mountain people are also forced by life, please help them.

Luc said "um" and said, "I don't have much money with us, so let's send a hundred taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"No, and my goods!" Anal strode closer.

When Xun Xiao saw it, he was speechless for a while.

Li Yunhan smiled and said to Lang Xiao: "This girl Anar is my friend, and I also ask Brother Lang to return her goods." ”

"Okay, I'll take her to get it." Xiao Xiao seemed to remember something, and told the candle again, "This slope is steep and difficult, you take some people to stay and help the cargo team get out of the valley." ”

Lang Xiao said and walked away with most of the mountain people.

"Go ahead." Li Yunhan stared at Anal, "Take care, girl, we'll have a date later." ”

Anal let out an "um" and walked away with her men.

With the help of Kong Zhu and others, the cargo team finally got out of the valley. Luc was about to order everyone to stop and rest, when suddenly a group of cavalry rushed towards him, and he waved his sword at the mountain people who were traveling with him, and in the blink of an eye, he cut down a dozen of them. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the other mountain people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

It turned out that this group of cavalry was led by Chu Mohan's subordinates, known as one of the twin evils of the Bohai Sea, and was ordered to chase down the mountain people.

When Luc saw the flag, he knew that it was Yuyang's soldiers and horses, and hurriedly stepped forward to reveal his identity to the lizard.

After hearing this, the lizard ordered the cargo team to be released; However, the mountain people must be left behind.

Seeing this, Luc decided to leave the mountain people behind, and ordered the cargo team to move on.

Li Yunhan was worried that those mountain people would be victimized, so he stepped forward to negotiate with the lizard and begged him to let them go.

The coiled lizard listened to it and refused, saying that it was acting on orders, and not a single one could be released!

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Luc was afraid that things would get bigger, so he stepped forward and asked the lizard why he didn't let go of the mountain people.

"These people are all Turkic and Khitan prisoners of war, how can they let go of them when they fled here to block the road and rob and harass the government!" The coiled lizard sneered.

Luc sighed helplessly, turned his head and persuaded Li Yunhan to stop meddling and get on the road quickly.

"What prisoners of war!" Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "Uncle Lu, don't believe him." ”

As soon as the words fell, Kong Zhu helped a white-haired old man to come to him.

The old man trembled, saying that they were not prisoners of war, but Xi civilians who had been obedient to the imperial court for many years, and had settled in the north of Yuyang City for generations; Two years ago, in order to build Xiongwu City, the government not only seized their fields, but also forced them to perform hard labor; I fled here in order to survive.

When the lizard heard this, his face was murderous, and he shouted at the old man: "Nonsense, you dare to slander the government!" ”

At this moment, another middle-aged woman approached and cried to Luc: "The adult must be the master of the villain!" All the Ding Zhuang men were taken to build the city, and the remaining old people and children were cut off by them, and they became the spoils of war for them to ask for merit and rewards from the imperial court. ”

Hearing this, the lizard was furious, and brandished his knife to kill the woman, but was stopped by Wu Qi.

"The general is angry, since these people have been naturalized in the imperial court, they are my people of the Tang Dynasty, please let them live." Li Yunhan persuaded loudly.

The coiled lizard snorted and said, "It's easy to say, let them go, how will I deal with it!" ”

"General rest assured, under Li Yunhan is willing to personally ask Chu Shuai for his guilt."

"What kind of goods are you!" The coiled lizard scolded.

"The general is angry," Luc said anxiously, pulling Batu, "and me and General Batu." ”

Although Batu was not happy, it was not easy to brush Luc's face, so he had a plan and said to the lizard: "I waited for the eldest prince to escort the goods, and I was tired all the way; As for these mountain people, it is better to stay and help deliver the goods, what do you think? ”

"This ......," the lizard hesitated.

"As for these people, we will deal with them after we have seen the handsome." Batu said and winked at the lizard.

"Okay, read the general's face, and let them go." Pan Lizard had a sense of understanding, paused and sank his face, "If anyone reveals the slightest rumor about today's matter, Hugh blames Pan for being ruthless!" ”

The lizard said to stop and lead the troops away.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had gone away, the living mountain people left the cargo team one after another with the help of the wounded, and only Kong Zhu secretly followed Li Yunhan and them.
