Since Zhang Pengzu came prepared, of course, this question had already been thought out clearly, and his answer also caught Liu Yi a little off guard.

"The lower official transferred a team of city patrol pavilion guards without authorization, and they are waiting outside the mansion at this time, please ask the government to take the lead in person, and immediately arrest Chu Zi, the chief of the city patrol pavilion, for questioning!"

Zhang Pengzu's identity is special, so he naturally knows Liu Zhe's true identity.

Now he said this sentence without panic or fear, clearly premeditated.

Liu Yi has completely understood it now.

Tonight is the beginning of a major event for Zhang Anshi, Zhang Pengzu and others.

It is also the last moment of your own choice.

Liu Yi had a gloomy face, ignored Zhang Pengzu, and gave an order to Zhang Bing, who was standing aside.

"You go down, I have important matters to discuss with the lieutenant, and no one is allowed to approach the main hall without the order of the officer."

"Yui!"

After a few moments, the main hall was emptied inside and outside, and there were no more idlers.

Zhang Pengzu looks very similar to his father Zhang Anshi, and now he is in his forties, Liu Yi has seen Zhang Anshi for the first time, and the other party is this age.

Liu Yi had already looked at him and felt extremely familiar.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Liu Yi asked bluntly.

"What am I going to do...... My father had already made it very clear in the letter, so why did the prince bother asking. Zhang Pengzu said.

"Going to do it tonight?" Liu Yi asked again.

"Exactly!" Zhang Pengzu said categorically, "Du Hu has thought about it, do you want to raise a big deal with me and others?" ”

"......" Liu Yi was silent and did not answer.

He has been in the Western Regions for so long, he has long been a decisive person, but he is still very hesitant in this matter.

"In my father's letter, the cause and effect have been clearly explained, and when the decision is constantly reversed, I hope that the prince can make a decision."

Zhang Pengzu took a step forward with his sword, revealing a threat.

In the Western Regions Protectorate, Liu Ying is already a well-known commander, but the power of the deputy lieutenant is also very great.

If the Metropolitan Protector of the Western Regions is the county guard, the deputy lieutenant is the lieutenant, and he is responsible for the security and anti-theft of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Zhang Pengzu has been in the Western Regions Capital for so long, and Zhang Bing is definitely not the only person who has been inserted in, and he should not know the geometry of the big and small.

Even if Liu Ill doesn't get involved with them, I'm afraid they have enough strength to give it a go.

It's not that Liu Yi has been careless, but that Zhang Anshi and others have hidden it too deeply.

Even today, how many people in the world can guess what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Zhang Anshi, the old minister of the three dynasties?

Liu Yi had already remembered the letter.

Zhang Anshi borrowed the tone of his brother Zhang He to move out of the Zhang family and the C family's life-saving grace to Liu Aiji, and took out the righteousness of safeguarding the interests of the family.

In addition, there is also the extremely high price, which makes Liu Yi feel shocked in his heart.

Zhang Anshi promised in the letter that once it succeeded, Zhang Anjun would be made the queen, and Liu Zifu would become the crown prince as a concubine.

The process of guarding the border will be supplemented later.

Of course, if the county official is unexpected, then Liu Zifu will immediately inherit the temple and become the new son of heaven in the Han Empire.

Liu Yi will already be crowned the king of Wulei, and assist the Son of Heaven in the name of the regent emperor's brother, becoming the chief auxiliary minister.

In the country, he acted for military and political affairs, and was not subject to Chang'an's control, and he could not pay the courtesy of a monarch to the Son of Heaven when he entered the court.

At that time, Liu Aiji's power would reach unprecedented heights - even more than Huo Guang back then.

To put it more bluntly, before Liu Zifu became in power, Liu Yi would have become the real ruler of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Liu Yi could already do more things.

Change the name of his grandfather, Prince Er, and correct his father's name...... These are easy things to do.

Moreover, Zhang Anshi generously left behind a possibility: to directly let Liu Yi get the opportunity to get on the throne.

One thing can be seen from this price, that is, Zhang Anshi and his ilk have "can't bear it" with today's county officials.

Zhang Anjun's son becoming the emperor is naturally the best choice, if not, it is not unacceptable for Liu Ai to inherit the temple.

In short, when today's son can no longer stay on the throne, he and Huo Chengjun's heirs must not sit in the front hall and accept the worship of all the people.

"Has the prince thought about it properly? Where do we go from here? Zhang Pengzu asked solemnly.

"If I start an incident with you and others, will I still decide the affairs of the Western Regions Protectorate?" Liu Yi asked slowly.

"The prince of the mansion is the protector of the Western Regions, and he is the future king of Wulei, and of course the affairs of the country should be decided by you!" Zhang Pengzu said.

"It's a good thing to say that when you are constantly suffering, you can't stop it!" Liu Yi had a fierce glint in his eyes and made a final decision.

"Shi Chang Chuzi, is the patrol pavilion of Wulei City......"

"Disobeying the edict of the Son of Heaven and the order of the Protectorate, leaving Wulei City without authorization, it is a conspiracy against ......"

"This official orders you to immediately order all the men and horses, and go to chase with this official, and you can kill them if you encounter them!"

"Yui!"

Liu Yi only said "Chu Zi", and never mentioned "Liu Zhe" from beginning to end.

This was a signal that made Zhang Pengzu overjoyed, which meant that the person who fled was just a small patrol of the city, not the eldest son of the emperor.

Since he is not the eldest son of the emperor, he has no worries about killing him.

"You go and give the whole team to the city patrol pavilion, I will go to the backyard to explain to my relatives, and then I will go with you."

"Yui!" Zhang Pengzu saluted again and hurriedly rushed out of the main hall.

Liu Yi had already watched this person's figure disappear into the darkness, his face was solemn, he was only stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the backyard.

……

At the beginning of the child, that is, half an hour after Liu Zhe rushed out of the east gate of Wulei City, a team of patrol pavilion guards rushed out of Wulei City with murderous vigour.

The leader is the Western Regions Protector Liu Aiji and the Western Regions Protector Deputy Captain Zhang Pengzu.

They chased all the way east along the official road without a moment's delay or hesitation.

Half an hour is not too long, Liu Ai and others have the help of pavilions along the road, and the speed of travel is extremely fast, and it is only a matter of time before they catch up with Liu Zhe.

And these city patrol guards are all experienced veterans, who have been hunting down robbers and bandits in the Western Regions all year round, and their experience in chasing and fleeing is very rich.

He set out at the beginning of the year and galloped eastward for three hours, changing his horse twice at the pavilion on the way, and his speed did not slow down, and he did not rest during this time.

As soon as the hour arrived, this team of city patrol guards found a target to be pursued on the official road.

There was no need to ask for advice, the city patrol pavilion immediately dispersed the formation, fanned from the rear, and surrounded Liu Zhe separately.

Liu Zhe has indeed learned his skills in the past six months, and he has changed his horse to the fork in the road several times, wanting to get rid of the pursuers behind him.

But after all, he was only a solo horseman, without any backup at all, and it was impossible to get rid of the pursuers.

After several back-and-forth battles between the two sides, Liu Zhe was forced to a cliff on the shore of Jishishui.

Jishui is the largest river in the Western Regions.

Although it is not as turbulent as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it nourishes the vast land of the Western Regions.

February and March every year is the season of testing the water and flooding, and the water is very abundant.

Liu Zhe, who was cornered, stayed on the edge of the cliff, tried his best to restrain the war horse under his crotch, and looked at the river under the cliff with some panic.

Under the cliff seven or eight feet high, there is the rushing river, which makes people and horses prohibitive.

Liu Zhe knows how to water, but he is not proficient, and he is not sure to escape in this turbulent river.

He looked back at the patrolling guards who were approaching step by step, and knew that he had no way to retreat.

In the moment he hesitated, more than a hundred city patrol guards surrounded his retreat.

The faces hidden in the darkness were familiar, and they all exuded a sense of disdain and murderous intent.

They may not all be Zhang Pengzu's minions, but they regard Chu Zi as an ordinary chief who is greedy for life and escapes.

It didn't take long for Liu Ying and Zhang Pengzu to come to the front from the Patrol City Pavilion.

"Chu Zi, you have no way back, go back with me and confess your guilt, maybe you can pick up a life." Zhang Pengzu said.

"Hmph, why should the deputy lieutenant be coy, if I go over, I'm afraid I will die immediately under the knife!" Liu Zhe sneered and mocked.

"It's better to leave at least a whole corpse than to die in this trick without knowing it." Zhang Pengzu said indifferently.

"Why are the children of Peixian afraid of death?" Liu Zhe said coldly.

These words made the indifferent Zhang Pengzu slightly stunned, as if he was afraid.

A few hours ago, when a pursuer appeared behind Liu Zhe, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.

From the few Chang'an knights during the day to Shi Changjia who let him out of the city, and then to the current deputy lieutenant, they are all part of this trap.

Angered Liu Zhe, let Liu Zhe escape, and then justifiably kill Liu Zhe.

Now, even if Liu Zhe reveals his true identity in front of all the city patrol guards, it will be regarded as gibberish.

This trap is to strangle Liu Zhe to death in public.

However, Liu Zhe does not regret his decision.

If you continue to stay in Wulei City, you won't have a way to live.

Instead of being trapped like a turtle with a shrunken head, it's better to give it a go like tonight.

Although he made mistakes, at least he was not at the mercy of others - this is also what his father taught him.

It's just that Liu Zhe still doesn't want to believe that Liu Yi, who has been silent, will also be involved in this matter.

"Your Majesty is so kind to you, is this how you are loyal to Your Majesty?" Liu Zhe questioned Liu Ai.

"You dismount and surrender, go back to Wulei City with me, and I will explain to you......" Liu Ying said indifferently.

"Explain? What's the explanation? If you want me to explain, first cut off the rebels and thieves around you! ”

Liu Zhe roared, and with a "sonorous" sound, he pulled out the ring head knife on his waist and pointed straight at Zhang Pengzu.

It was not Liu Zhi who answered Liu Zhe, but the sound of the sword unsheathed by the team of patrol pavilions behind him.

In an instant, under the light of the shaking torches, many cold lights appeared.

"Fu Jun, this person is bewitching the public, you can't stay any longer, please order the Fu Jun to kill!" Zhang Pengzu was afraid of change, so he asked in a panic.

He naturally felt panicked, although there were his cronies among the soldiers of the City Patrol Pavilion behind him, and Liu Zhi had already pursued Liu Zhe with him.

But from beginning to end, Liu Aiji's attitude was ambiguous, and he was hesitant everywhere.

In addition to Chang'an City, the Western Regions Protector is another key to whether they can succeed.

After so many twists and turns, Liu Zhe is actually not Zhang Pengzu's main target, Liu Zhi is.

Only by letting Liu Zhi kill Liu Zhe with his own hands can Liu Yi be tied to the chariot of the family, so that he cannot be the head of the rat.

If this vote is not accepted, Zhang Pengzu and Zhang Anshi, who is far away in Chang'an, will never be at ease.

Liu Yi had not yet given the order, and Liu Zhe, who was standing in the dark, suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"The patrol pavilion of Wulei City listens to the order! Zhang Pengzu, the deputy lieutenant of the Western Regions, tried to rebel in vain, loyal to the king and the thief, and had no duty to wait, please work together to punish him! ”

Since he was a child, Liu Zhe has heard the story of "When Zhou Bo and others killed Zhu Lu, they raised their arms and shouted, and there were many responders", and he always felt excited.

He thought that the situation was the same at this moment, as long as the name of the traitor was shouted, there would be loyal people who stood up and responded and took down Zhang Pengzu's head.

But it turned out that he was still too naïve and thought too simple about people's hearts.

His thin, trembling voice quickly disappeared into the wind and water, leaving no trace.

These more than 100 city patrol pavilion guards, regardless of whether they know Liu Zhe on weekdays or not, are all silent now, and there is no movement at all.

Even the nephew of the county official, his cousin, and the son of the Han family, Liu Aiji, did not say a word in the dark, and he couldn't see any emotion.

It was only at this time that Liu Zhe, a fifteen-year-old boy, finally felt a little scared.

In the "whirring" wind, he felt the kind of fear that his father had faced.

Life and death are between the line, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff behind you, and there is no place to bury you.

It's not terrible to die, it's terrible to die inexplicably, to die worthless.

In the past few months, Liu Zhe thought that he had gained knowledge in the Western Regions, and he could share his father's worries when he returned to Chang'an.

But at this moment, when I really faced the conspiracy that was full of death, I still felt powerless.

Under this huge conspiracy, Liu Zhe felt small and useless, and he couldn't reverse the situation at all.

And his father, who was not a few years older than him when he ascended the throne, was able to get rid of Huo Guang, destroy the family, swallow the Western Regions, and expand the territory......

At that time, I don't know how much of the conspiracy and murder I faced.

He finally understood how difficult it was for his father to stay in the Weiyang Palace.

However, this realization came a little slower after all, and it could not be changed in the future.

Liu Zhe raised his front finger with the ring head knife and made a knight's charge.

Since no one can kill the traitor, then he will fight hard.

However, Liu Zhe had just straightened his body, and before he could shout the word "kill" in his mouth, he saw that Liu Zhi had already acted.

I saw that Liu Yi had already snatched the big yellow crossbow in Zhang Pengzu's hand, and the action of bending the bow and arrows was done in one go, and the arrow cluster was aimed at Liu Zhe's chest.

"I've been here for half a year in the Western Regions, and I'm still so reckless and crazy, I deserve this catastrophe!"

"This is the path you have chosen, then go down by yourself, goodbye under the Yellow Spring!"

"I told you earlier, don't look at what a person says, but look at what a person does!"

"You are so ignorant of lifting up, making Gaozu ashamed, it is simply killing yourself!"

Liu Yi had gritted his teeth and said these words quickly, there was a hint of madness in his voice, and his eyes were even more murderous.

Because he scolded these words too quickly, except for Liu Zhe, no one else could understand all the words.

Liu Zhe, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, was slightly stunned, and the ring head knife in his hand was a little flattened......

In the blink of an eye, Liu Yi had let go, and the arrow flew out, hitting Liu Zhe's chest!

A "bell" sound quickly dissipated in the wind, and Liu Zhe fell from his horse and fell straight down the cliff behind him!

The river was surging, and Liu Zhe soon sank into the water.
