The three of them galloped in the rain, went out of Youzhou, and went straight to Yingzhou.

At this moment, Dugu Shuo was worried about the variables of the internal guard, but after all, he was thinking about Yan Qingfang who was far away in Yingzhou, since Yan Qingfang went to Yingzhou alone, there was no information in the middle, and now there was a traitor in the internal guard, Yan Qingfang was trapped here, the more he thought about Dugu Shuo, the more afraid he became. On the other hand, the news of the Khitan rebellion and anti-Zhou in Yingzhou has never reached Luoyang, and something must have happened to the secret guard of the internal guard, all of which add up, and the sense of ominousness is pressed on Dugu Shuo's heart and lingers for a long time.

By the end of the next day, the three had arrived in Danzhou. Along the way, people said that Yingzhou City had been destroyed by Li and Sun Wan's beheading department, and the Khitan Iron Cavalry Army was about to go south, and was about to besiege Pingzhou and Danzhou.

The three of them were quite puzzled when they heard the words "annihilation" and "ten thousand beheading" on the way, Pei Ce hurriedly dragged a soldier who abandoned the city and fled and asked: "Dare to ask the little brother, we are from the gods, and we are not very familiar with what 'annihilation' and 'ten thousand beheading' are?" When the man heard this, he sneered: "His Majesty the Martial Emperor Qin Feng Li Duan and Sun Wan beheaded the two anti-thieves, I don't know that I dare to say that the gods are here!" So saying, the soldier took the road and ran. Xu Gao looked at the fleeing soldiers, and was very indignant in his heart, so he was about to draw his sword to intercept him, and cursed in his mouth: "Tell these people to guard Danzhou, I'm afraid that Danzhou will be lost sooner or later..." Before he finished speaking, he was glanced at by Pei and Du, and Xu Gao covered his mouth at the moment and stopped talking.

Originally, Emperor Wu learned that the eight Khitan tribes united against the Zhou, causing the soldiers and civilians of Yingzhou City to be trapped, and in a fit of anger, he changed Li Quanzhong's "Loyalty" to "Annihilation", and Sun Wanrong's "Wanrong" to "Wan Chop", and sent more than 20 generals such as Cao Renshi, the general of the Left Eagle Yangwei, Zhang Xuanyu, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, and Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Wuwei, to lead the army to exterminate the rebels.

The three of them went against the fleeing people, all the way through Pingzhou, and went straight to the direction of Yingzhou.

At this time, Cao Renshi's army wanted to go straight to the Khitan tribe's lair, and was besieged by Li Qianzhong in Huangzhang Valley, the two armies clashed, the situation was chaotic, and the three took the opportunity to blend in with the fleeing people, but they were captured by the Khitan tribe and the fleeing people's soldiers, and the captured people and captured soldiers were locked in the west of Yingzhou City.

It's night, the night in the north is as cold as water, and the cold moon hangs high, showing even more homesickness. Everyone crowded together to keep warm, and the Khitans who were watching around the campfire chatted and glanced back from time to time.

Pei Ce looked at the Khitans who were talking and laughing beside the fire, and asked the Han people who were warming each other, "Can any of you understand what these beggars are saying?" ”

Pei Ce asked for a long time and no one answered, so he asked again.

"I, I, I've been dealing with the beggars all year round, and I can understand what they say!" A thin man shuddered as he slowly poked his head out.

"Then what do they say when they are crying and laughing?" Pei Ce looked at the Khitan soldiers and said viciously.

The man leaned forward and put his ear on the fence, and the group held their breath. The man listened for a long time before he said: "They said that they were brave and good at fighting the supreme khan, and they were rare heroes of the eight Khitan tribes, and they actually captured the generals sent by the Great Zhou, and they couldn't stop them from fighting. Now their khan has come up with a new way to wipe out all the Tang soldiers sent to bully them! When they heard this, they were full of grief and indignation, and they all rushed out. Dugu Shuo suddenly remembered that Cao Renshi's army and Li Quanzhong's troops clashed during the day, and speculated that Cao Ren's division may have been defeated, and Cao Renshi's division may have been captured alive, Pei and Xu were angry for a while, shouting, wanting to lure the Khitan people guarding the side over, waiting for the opportunity to rush and kill, the caretaker was attracted by the shouts of the three people, carrying a long knife is a burst of slashing, scared everyone crowded to dodge back, the guards looked at each other, laughed violently, Pei Duxu and the three of them looked at each other more and more angry, and were about to collide, but were stopped by several people, At this moment, a shout was heard from a distance, and then a pair of cavalry came head-on, followed by a long group of captured Great Zhou soldiers, and several people had to secretly be angry.

When those soldiers were imprisoned and asked, Li Quanzhong released the captured soldiers, saying that the Khitan Department was short of grain and grass, and it was unbearable to fight, and that the Great Zhou soldiers would surrender as soon as they arrived, and lured the Great Zhou soldiers to attack Yingzhou, causing the commander Cao Renshi to light the enemy and be hasty, and only led the light cavalry to attack the Khitan tribe's lair, and unexpectedly was outflanked by the elite cavalry of Li Quanzhong's department who was ambushed in the Huangzhang Valley, and Cao Renshi and Zhang Xuanyu and others were captured alive, and even the big seal that transferred troops was also robbed.

At that moment, the three of them were indignant again, and a few dying soldiers had to persuade them. Dugu Shuoyue sighed and sighed with compassion, not only for the pain of those Great Zhou soldiers who died for no reason due to incompetence to lead the commander into the ravine, but also for the great Zhou Dynasty's high disregard for the ignorance of the cunning of the Khitan people.

After a while, everyone became familiar with each other, and Pei Ce was anxious, and told the Khitan people who were guarding them what they had said to the soldiers who came after.

When those soldiers heard this, they all panicked, and the leader said even more impatiently: "They have seized the seal of the commander of the troops, and they will definitely use the seal of the transfer of troops to make a fuss, and if they can't do it, they will lure the infantry near Yingzhou to come over, and then set up an ambush to annihilate them in one fell swoop." When the people heard this, they thought it was reasonable, and they secretly discussed how to go out and report to the army.

As early as when he was imprisoned, Dugu Shuo stared at the Khitan cavalry patrolling the city to count the hours, and then told everyone what he thought, and a school inspector who was arrested earlier next to him listened and said: "I have also secretly calculated, the Khitan soldiers who patrol the night come and go back every hour of about half a pillar of incense, and several people on guard will take turns sleeping in the second half of the night, so we have a chance." When they heard this, they were a little relieved. The soldier said: "But the four gates of Yingzhou City are locked, even if you go out, there is no ordnance in your hand, once you rush out, the chance of survival is very small, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape from Yingzhou City, let alone report the news!" When everyone obeyed, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and after listening to it, they suddenly fell silent, and their hearts were half cold.

"That's better than being locked up here, there's still some chance!" Dugu Shuo continued, everyone listened, looked at each other, and nodded in agreement, as if the courage in their hearts had risen suddenly.

After discussing it at the moment, everyone snuggled up to each other to keep warm, just waiting for the time to come.

"Dare to ask the general, but the defenders of Yingzhou?" Dugu Shuo looked at the man's clothes and asked tentatively!

"I'm ashamed to say that a certain is Wen Lan, the deputy inspector of the Yingzhou Infantry!" The man's face was shy, and suddenly a sadness welled up in his heart, and he wiped a handful of tears and said.

"In the lower internal guard, the deputy commander of the left division of Dugu Shuo, this is Pei Ce, the deputy commander of the right division of the internal guard, and this is the head of the left division, Xu Gao!" Dugu Shuo waved his hand and told everyone the names of the three of them, and when the soldiers and people heard this, they immediately took a few steps back, separated from them, and discussed: "They are internal guards!" "How did they get arrested as internal guards?" "Are they sent by the Martial Emperor?" "Are they here to kill the state guards·····

Dugu Shuo listened, and hurriedly said: "Don't panic, although the three of us have been ordered by the emperor, but we are here for the military and people of Yingzhou, please rest assured, the three of us were not arrested, but mixed in, and when the time comes, let's think of escaping together." Dugu Shuo glanced at Wen Lan and said: "At the moment, I have some doubts in my heart, please tell me in detail!" After Dugu Shuo finished speaking, but everyone was still silent, he knew that the internal guards were cold-blooded and cruel to the officials, soldiers, and the people, and they were murderous.

After a long time, Na Wenyu dropped his sleeves, took a step forward and said: "That's it, sticking out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, I have lived enough to be aggrieved, Yingzhou lost the city, we are already a capital crime, but even if we die, we must explain these grievances to Your Majesty!" Dugu Shuo looked at it, secretly speculated about the affairs of Yingzhou, and said with joy: "General Wen, please tell me bluntly, if there is a grievance, we will guarantee that Your Majesty is by no means a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, just like Your Majesty's favorite ministers to Junchen, it is also a good killing, the general can speak boldly!" ”

When Wen Lan heard this, he asked in surprise, "What did the adults say?" Lai Junchen is dead! But really, then Junchen was really killed? ”

"Of course it's true, Lai Junchen was personally captured by a few of my brothers, and tens of thousands of people in Luoyang saw with their own eyes that they were beheaded, how can it be fake!" Pei Ce said first.

"What Master Pei said is true, this case is handled by the Dugu Commander, and the brother of the internal guard is automatic, so when Junchen is released from prison, there is almost no human ·····" The more Xu Gao talked, the happier he became, and suddenly realized that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly gagged his mouth with his hand. When Wen Lan heard this, he knelt on the ground, buttoned his head again and again, and cried in his mouth: "Brother Xing, your great revenge has been avenged, the sky really has eyes, Your Majesty is gracious!" When everyone saw it, Xiao was a deep hatred among them, so they hurriedly pulled it up. At this moment, the Khitan soldiers patrolling the city came, and everyone was busy huddled together, pretending to be warm.

Dugu Shuo whispered: "Please also ask General Wen and us to talk about the affairs of Yingzhou!" Hearing this, Wen Shu nodded in agreement, picked up his sleeve and wiped his tears, and started from the beginning.

At that time, there was a drought in the Khitan settlement, and the Khitan General Wuwei, the governor of Songmo, Li Quanzhong, and Sun Wanrong, the assassin of Guicheng Prefecture, came to Yingzhou to ask Zhao Wenhui for help, and Zhao Wenhui neither gave money nor relief food, but cursed and reprimanded the two. After Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong went back, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, so they decided to rebel in a fit of anger, and then secretly united the leaders of the rest of the Khitan tribes, and suddenly sent troops to capture Yingzhou, and Zhao Wenhui was caught defenseless and beheaded by Li and Sun Er. At present, Li and Sun have robbed the grain and grass in Yingzhou City, calling themselves "Supreme Khan", and they also played the banner of "Why not return to my Luling King".

When everyone heard this, they became more and more angry in their hearts, and cursed that Zhao Wenhui deserved to be killed.

Wen Shu continued: "I and other deputy generals also repeatedly advised, I wanted to privately report to the imperial court to relieve the Khitan tribe in Yingzhou, but Zhao Wenhui knew about it and whipped it, and no one dared to say it anymore, but the hateful thing is that he was flying and domineering, annoying the Khitan tribe, when the Khitan attacked the city, he not only did not actively deploy troops to prepare for war, but instead packed up the gold and silver that was looted and wanted to abandon the city and escape, but God also had eyes, so that this thief died on the spot, but he took pity on the people of Yingzhou, and was unprovoked into the wolf smoke and war, so that he was displaced! When everyone heard this, their hearts ached faintly, whether it was the royal family infighting or foreign invasion, it was always the innocent people of the whole world who suffered.

Dugu Shuo listened and listened, his heart suddenly tightened, his eyebrows frowned, and he said in his heart: "Sun Wanrong secretly met with Lai Junchen in the divine capital, probably because he wanted Lai Junchen to help them speak, so as to ask for some relief from the court, and Zhao Wenhui saw Lai Junchen, it is likely that he knew about Sun Wanrong finding Junchen, and deliberately cut it off, Sun Wanrong and Li Quanzhong couldn't wait for the relief from the court, so they sprinkled the resentment in their hearts on Zhao Wenhui." As for "Why don't you return to my King of Luling", Dugu Shuo faintly felt that it must be related to the person behind Liu Lingwei, and even the list of Guo Linyi in Qinzhou was inextricably linked.

Dugu Shuo thought to himself, Pei Ce suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and said, "Brother Dugu, the time is almost up, let's do it!" Dugu Shuo listened, looked around, and saw that there was silence around him, only one Khitan soldier was roasting a fire outside the tent, occasionally looking back at them, and then signaled everyone to move.

The fence around them was not high, and I think it was because the Khitans knew that they had been collected and trapped in the city, and the city was full of Khitan soldiers, and it was expected that they would not be able to escape and would not dare to escape.

First a dozen of them squatted down, four or five squatted on their shoulders, and two or three climbed up the wall, so that they could climb out. Dugu Shuo and the other three and a few soldiers went out first, Pei Ce went over lightly, twisted the neck of the Khitan soldier next to the fire, and took out firewood and gently supported it in front of his chest. Everyone walked softly, led by Wen Lu, and fled to the city without the patrol soldiers.

After passing through the two markets, the city suddenly became chaotic, and the Khitan soldiers shouted loudly, and there was a mess in all directions. Dugu Shuo guessed that they should have found that the captured soldiers and civilians had escaped, and chased them around. After Wen Lan led them to avoid the Khitan soldiers, they went straight to the Thorn History Mansion to touch, General Wen Lan has been in Yingzhou for several years, and the grass and trees in the city are no longer familiar, when the sky is close to the end of the night, fortunately, the clouds rose in the second half of the night, obscuring the moonlight, and the four directions are not very clear, and everyone on the road killed a few Khitan soldiers.

General Wen and the soldiers of Yingzhou are naturally more familiar with the Assassin Mansion, and secretly groped, found the secret passage leading to the outside of the mansion, everyone groped in, and divided the armor blade hidden inside with everyone, and when everyone cleaned up, Dugu Shuo asked: "General Wen, you are more familiar with Yingzhou City, you are more familiar with your brothers, but there are secret passages, canals, etc. that can lead to the outside of the city, I will go out as soon as possible to report to the army!" ”

Wen Shu listened, smiled bitterly, patted Dugu Shuo's shoulder and said: "Brothers who are dissatisfied with the internal guards, the roads that can lead to the outside of the city are blocked, and the Khitan soldiers are personally guarded, there is only one way out at the moment, and it is also the only way!" Wen Lan paused, looked at the soldiers again, and said slowly: "Leave the people here, I and the brothers of Yingzhou will go to the West Gate, where the defenders are the weakest, and when we fight with the Khitan soldiers, the brothers who are tired of the internal guards will change into the clothes of the Khitans, sneak out of the city during the chaos, and report the news for the army!" As soon as the army arrives and regains Yingzhou, these people will be able to live! ”

Dugu Shuo listened and said: "No, your dozens of brothers and Khitan soldiers are undoubtedly sheep into the mouth, and they will only lose their lives in vain, we must think about it in the long run, and we must come up with a better way, it is not to let you die in vain, you have paid too much for Da Zhou." ”

"I will always remember the love of the Neiwei brothers, now the sky is about to dawn, everyone doesn't have to argue about it, once the time is missed, the consequences are unimaginable!" Wen Lan insisted and glanced at the brothers again, and everyone was also determined to die and survive.

Hearing this, Pei Duxu and the others and the people were very sad, but they admired it from the bottom of their hearts, patted each other, and hugged goodbye, before leaving, Dugu Shuo and Pei Ce, Xu Gao and the generals said: "Brothers, take care, farewell today, we will definitely play the general's brave things to the court, so that Da Zhou will remember your feat today!" ”

Wen Shu smiled and said: "A few brothers of the internal guards should also take care, the life and death of Yingzhou is in your hands, it is our duty to defend Yingzhou and protect the people, I just hope that the world will no longer scold, don't be greedy for other thoughts, and go!" With that, the soldier waved his hands and clenched his fists and left, only to see the people next to him crying one by one.

At that moment, Pei Xu and the three of them hurriedly changed into Khitan clothes, followed them out of the dark room, and climbed to the roof along the rockery.

The rockery is in the backyard, and the top of the rockery is the highest place in the Assassin's Mansion, and everything in the mansion can be seen clearly. The three of them ran straight to the front yard across the backyard, and escaped from the south gate after trying to assassinate the Shi Mansion, and were walking, Dugu Shuo somehow turned around and glanced at it suddenly, and vaguely seemed to see Liu Lingwei's figure flashing into the hall. When he looked back, Liu Lingwei was beside two people in black cloaks and one person in Han costumes, and the four of them were side by side, Dugu Shuo thought that he was dazzled, so he fixed himself and looked again. If it was really Liu Lingwei, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and his brows couldn't help frowning, as he guessed, the Khitan tribe rebellion must have been involved by the people behind Liu Lingwei.

He looked distracted, and didn't hear Pei Ce call him, Pei Ce had to come over and pull him, he turned around and said hurriedly: "You two go first, I still have one thing I can't get away with!" With that, he turned around and walked back, and Pei Ce hurriedly said: "The most important thing at the moment is to report to the army, otherwise General Wen and they will really die in vain!" As he spoke, he reached out to grab Dugushuo's arm, and just as a few Khitan soldiers walked under the corridor, Pei Ce had to withdraw his hand and go back, slapped his thigh angrily, and scolded a few words.

Dugu Shuo didn't look back, and said: "Of course I know, but if this matter is not clear, since Yingzhou City has been recaptured this time, I am afraid that there will be a bigger conspiracy, you two go quickly, let's meet in Danzhou tomorrow night, don't forget to leave a mark along the way!" Dugu Shuo said that, jumped and ran into the Assassin's Mansion.

Leaving the two of them looking at each other, Pei Ce looked inside, turned around and said something to Xu Gao, and the two jumped and disappeared into the night.

Dugu Shuo jumped into the Thorn Mansion, bypassed the pillars of the cloister, avoided the Khitan soldiers far away, grabbed two handfuls of soil on the ground and wiped them on his face, and followed in the direction where Liu Lingwei went.

After a while, there was a sudden chaos in the Assassin's Mansion, he knew that it must be Wen Lan and others fighting at the city gate, and saw that everyone in the main hall heard the shouts and ran out in unison, Dugu Shuo took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the back hall and hide behind the screen.

After a while, the crowd was talking, and they came in slowly.

"King Shao is quite appreciative of this matter, and promised a reward, after the matter is completed, you should be the first hero, and the marquis will be just around the corner!" An old voice said, laughing a few times.

"I want to thank the lord for his cultivation, but these credits are to be recorded on Miss Liu, she ran for this big event, it can be said that she worked hard, not afraid of life and death, and was almost caught by the internal guards and lost her life!" The voice should be a middle-aged man.

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" The old man didn't seem to know about Liu Lingwei, and asked in surprise.

"Exactly, the girl who also lost her wit escaped by luck!"

"Well, not only King Shao, but the old man also likes Miss Liu more and more, strategizing, decisive, and quite handsome, but it's a pity that it's a daughter, otherwise when things come to fruition in the future, it will also be a feudal marquis, ahaha!"

"Haha, why do you need to pay homage to the marquis, King Shao has always favored Miss Liu, and when King Shao succeeds to the throne one day, I can't keep that the girl is also a concubine, ahhahaha!" As the old man spoke, the two of them thought about it, and the hall was filled with joy, as if they were determined to win the battle.

Dugu Shuo hid behind the screen, although he couldn't see the appearance of a few people, but after listening to a rough idea, these people all supported Li Tang Jiangshan, it should be the people of Li Chongrun, the king of Shao, all of them helped Li Xian, the king of Luling, to compete for the throne, Dugu Shuo thought in his heart, and he heard the woman's voice, and he knew that it was Liu Lingwei when he thought about it.

"The two adults are all amusement little girls, I don't know if the two adults have come from afar, but there is something more important?" Liu Lingwei's words were half deliberate, and the two adults glanced at it and laughed again: "Haha, I can't hide the girl's eyes, yes, the old man and Lord Yuan came this time in the name of King Shao, and the other is to see how the current battle situation is, and by the way, Li Sun and the two of them will plan again, and mobilize the surrounding departments to erect the anti-military banner as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the Khitan Eight Divisions capture Danzhou and Pingzhou as soon as possible, wave their troops to the east, and take Youzhou directly." The second is to give you a reminder, Wu Cao sent internal guards to Yingzhou to verify the rebellion, according to their means, they will soon be able to find out the head of the prince, so you have to be fully prepared, and order the people of the Spring and Autumn Dao to do it as soon as possible, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of them! ”

"Please rest assured, the two adults, Yan Qingfang, the commander of the internal guard, has already fought with the Spring and Autumn Dao a few days ago, and he has not been able to take advantage!"

"What, you mean Yan Qingfang came in person? Who else? The light and shadow flickered, and the man heard Yan Qingfang's name, and immediately stood up and asked in surprise.

"Right now, there's only Yan Qingfang!" Liu Ling said slightly.

"That's it, I want Chunqiu Dao to get rid of Yan Qingfang as soon as possible, don't teach her to come and go. Without further ado, let's go back, I have already explained other matters to Li Quanzhong, if nothing else, at this moment, the army led by Zong Huaichang should have entered Sun Wanrong's ambush, and when this war is over, you must urge the Khitan troops to lead troops to capture the two cities of Pingzhou and Danzhou as soon as possible, and then the situation will be stabilized, and then slowly advance according to the plan, you must not be in a hurry! Now, go and summon the people of the Spring and Autumn Dao to send me back before dawn! The old man said hurriedly, and Liu Lingwei shouted a few words to the door, and several people rushed in at once.

At this moment, there was suddenly chaos in the mansion again, and Liu Ling hurriedly shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

A few people immediately ran in outside the door and replied: "Back to the sect, I found a few Han people in the backyard, and the brothers are secretly arresting them!" ”

"Where are the people from the Assassin's Mansion, go and arrest them and ask clearly!"

"Yes!"

"Without further ado, please let the two adults go quickly, and the sky will be dawn with another cup of tea!" Dugu Shuo really listened to it, this was Liu Lingwei's voice, he was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go out to see who these two people were, but if he wanted to know how the two were compared, Dugu Shuo at this moment wanted to know who the Spring and Autumn Dao fell to the ground. He waited for a while, listened to the fact that there was no one around, then slipped out quietly, bypassed the corridor, wanted to climb up along the rockery, suddenly heard a sharp arrow flying behind him, he hurriedly turned over to dodge, the man went empty with an arrow, and then sent an arrow, forcing him under the rockery, unable to judge the position of the person martial arts, Dugu Shuo had to stand still, not daring to move.

Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
