In the western suburbs of Chang'an, there is a separate industry near the Soo River.

The two brothers named Jiang Mao and Jiang Hai are in charge of taking care of this place, both in their thirties, and their faces are full of scars.

On this day, Jiang Mao came back from hunting a hare, threw it to the Turkic maidservant and cleaned it on the fire, and the two brothers opened the altar of wine and sat in the hall to drink.

"On this snowy day, did you say the general arrived in Banzhou?"

After drinking two large bowls of wine in silence, Jiang Mao asked sullenly.

"I don't know, I don't even know where Banzhou is." Jiang Hai's tone was cold, and he said: "If the general hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have slaughtered my brother, and he would have gone to Shibanzhou." ”

"Hmm."

Then he drank in silence, and the Turkic maid who knelt beside saw the rabbit meat roasted until golden brown, and began to divide the meat with a dagger.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.

The Turkic maid put down the rabbit meat in her hand, ran to open the door, and after a while, welcomed a little eunuch into the courtyard gate.

Jiang Mao stood in the hall and looked at it, muttering, "Why did you get a new one today?" ”

He took a bowl of wine and stepped forward, saying, "Don't tie the horse well, and run away in a while, come, pour this bowl of wine first, warm your body." ”

Without saying anything, the wine bowl was stuffed into the other party's hand.

The little eunuch couldn't care about this, and hurriedly asked, "Has anyone been here?" Du Liangdi was taken away? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Today, the traitor sent someone to interrogate us, and took Du Liangdi away, Li Gong asked me to see what happened......

"Not good!"

Jiang Mao immediately reacted and shouted to Jiang Hai: "I'll drag them down, and you take people away." ”

As they spoke, the two brothers had already hurled out of the hall, rushed into the firewood room, overturned several bundles of firewood, and showed the two long knives and two sets of bows and arrows inside.

Jiang Mao took his weapon and rushed to the gate of the courtyard to look out, and a team of men and horses was rapidly advancing here in the wind and snow.

"The traitorous lackeys are here!"

He snorted, quickly bolted the door, put the Mo knife in the corner of the wall, moved a ladder, climbed the ladder, and put a bow and arrow on the wall.

The traitorous lackeys were already very close, and he did not hesitate to aim at one of the knights who rushed to the front and fire his arrows.

With a "whoosh" arrow right in the door, the knight fell in response to the chord and let out an exclamation.

Jiang Mao sneered in his heart, compared to the Longyou Army, the Sixteen Guards in Beijing were just some showmanship.

~~

"Phew!"

When he saw that someone in front of him was shot to the ground, Yang Zhao hurriedly grabbed the reins and broke out in a cold sweat.

He couldn't believe that someone would dare to shoot Right Xiaowei so close to Chang'an City.

This is a great sin of treason.

"Rebel, murderer, murderer......"

Yang Zhao muttered in his mouth, but forgot to give the order for a while.

Fortunately, there is also a general of the right guard who came today, who has quickly made arrangements and ordered the soldiers to attack the mansion in front.

"Surround it, don't let the thieves get away!"

A man rode up and circled the courtyard to block the other gates.

Suddenly, I only heard a soldier report: "There is a carriage in the backyard that has run away!" ”

"You guys, catch up!"

Xue Bai looked at the corpses on the ground, and already felt that the fierceness of the people in the courtyard was the same as those who buried him alive, which showed that the prince was by no means powerless.

He tugged at the reins a little awkwardly and followed a group of soldiers to the back door.

A large cart had exited the back door and was running west in the snow.

The car is too big, there is no car wall, only an umbrella cover to protect from the wind and snow, you can see that there are many women and children in the car, presumably the other party's family members are also among them.

"Second sister!" Du Goro shouted.

A figure in the car looked behind him, and then stood up cautiously.

In the wind and snow, she can vaguely see her graceful figure, it is Du Yan.

The speed of the car was very fast, the road was very bumpy, I saw Du Yan standing swaying, two women tried to pull her, they fought, and I could vaguely see Qu Shui helping in it, and fell several times in a row.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Stop the speed! ”

"Drive! Drive! ”

The next moment, a right guard shouted, rushed out like a sharp arrow, and caught up with the carriage diagonally.

"Where can the traitor escape?!"

The carriage quickly turned in a different direction.

Xue Bai could see that the person setting up the car was a thin figure, but there was still a big man standing on the wheel, and he was firing arrows at the right guard who was catching up.

But it was this slowdown that Du Yan and Qu Shui had jumped out of the carriage and landed in the snow.

Even Xue Bai was secretly frightened when he saw this jump, but he saw Du Yan lying on her stomach in the snow and not moving.

And the carriage was still galloping forward, and the right guards rode their horses to chase after it.

Xue Baice stepped forward immediately, and when he got closer, he saw that her chest was rising and falling, and she was panting hard, while Qu Shui was humming and trying to get up.

"Are you alright?" He rolled over and dismounted.

"My foot is twisted." Du Yan propped up her body a little, frowned, and said, "My arm hurts too." ”

Xue Bai stepped forward to help her and said in a low voice: "We voted for Li Linfu to save the Du family." ”

Du Yan snorted bitterly, leaned on him, quickly glanced around, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and finally said in a low voice: "If Suo Douji wants me to come forward to testify against the prince, I can, but there are conditions." ”

"You say."

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Du Yan brushed her hair and looked a little irritable.

She is no longer the crown prince.

This change in identity was extremely important to her.

But she was able to quickly understand the situation instead of crying, which really made Xue Bai a lot easier.

"Second sister, are you okay?" Du Wulang just caught up at this time and wanted to help help.

Du Yan didn't need his help, slapped his hand away, and said, "Qu Shui is also injured, you take her." ”

"Oh."

Du Wulang scratched his head a little shyly before reaching out to help Qu Shui.

Du Yan glanced around, saw Jiaonu, and attached to Xue Bai's ear and asked, "Who is that woman?" ”

"Li Linfu sent me to 'protect' me."

"I hate her...... I'll ride on your horse and tell you what has happened lately. ”

"Well, bury me and Qinglan alive, but your idea?"

"Bury you alive? I really don't know about this, believe me. Du Yan stretched out her foot and stepped on the stirrup, frowned in pain, and said, "Help me up." ”

"In short, Donggong has done this, and there are very few choices I can make, so I can only temporarily take refuge in Li Linfu, what do you think?"

Xue Bai said, holding her waist with both hands, but she didn't expect her to look plump, but her waist was quite slender.

He lifted her up and lifted her on horseback.

"What do I think? Do I still have a choice? Du Yan laughed at herself, sat down on the saddle, moved her body back, stretched out her hand to pull Xue Bai, and said, "You sit in front." ”

Xue Bai didn't shake her hand and said, "I voted for Li Linfu, and then I rode with you, but I will be pushed down by you?" ”

"Sooner or later, the rope fighting is unreliable. But I know what you want to ask, let's put it this way, I have only one identity left, I am the daughter of the Du family...... Come up, you don't ride well, sit in front. ”

Only then did Xue Bai turn over and get on his horse, and he wanted to pull the reins, but a pair of white jade hands had reached out from behind him and snatched the reins.

"Don't stand up, you can't see the way." Du Yan leaned forward and said, "I saw it from the beginning, you really want to climb up, right?" ”

"Yes."

Du Yan asked leisurely: "That concubine has no identity now, is there still any use value for you?" ”

"I'm here to take you home in order to repay the Du family's kindness."

Du Yan smiled and said, "Okay, go on." ”

Xue Bai probably talked about his experience in the past four or five days, and at the end, he asked, "How much do you know about those gangsters?" ”

Du Yan listened carefully, unconsciously leaned on his back slightly, and said lazily: "I don't know, I've always lived in the backyard, and I haven't even seen them." ”

Xue Bai felt two soft balls on her back, and she didn't know if she was intentional or not, so she glanced back.

"Don't move." Du Yan said: "You are not afraid of falling." ”

"No matter what, Li Linfu will inevitably ask for your testimony."

"Heh, Suo Douji finally got the dead soldiers of the prince's line, I'm afraid I'm going to be happy." Du Yan said: "It seems that you have the ability, he has been busy for a year and can't do it, you can do it in a few days." ”

"Good luck." Xue Bai said.

As they spoke, they had rushed back to the vicinity of the courtyard.

I saw that the right Xiaowei had smashed open the courtyard door, but also left four casualties outside the door, the dead had no movement, the wounded were still howling, and the red blood was soaked in snow under him.

There was still a fight at the gate, and it was clear that the thug was guarding the gate.

"Bold rebel, you are cornered, and you are not bound yet?!" Yang Zhao stationed on the horse and drank in the distance.

"Hahaha, treacherous lackeys, all waste!"

Xue Bai reached out and pulled the reins and said, "Take a look at the front." ”

"Hmm."

Du Yan rode his horse around and could look at the gate of the courtyard from a distance.

Xue Bai looked at it and saw a big man holding a long-handled Mo knife, standing at the door, slashing down a right guard, looking up to the sky and roaring.

"A certain Tang Dynasty has been fighting for ten years and killed dozens of enemies, how can you be afraid of traitors such as Er?!"

It's a pity that this big man is not wearing armor, and there are many wounds on his body, so far he has no strength.

Immediately after, Xue Bai's eyes froze, and he saw him raise the Mo knife horizontally and wipe it on his neck.

"He's going to kill himself!"

At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a sharp arrow was shot, hitting the wrist of the big man, and the long-handled Mo knife fell to the ground.

Xue Bai turned his head to look, and saw that the right Xiao guard who shot the arrow was stationed not too far away from him, so he clasped his fists and shouted: "Good archery!" In Xia Xue Bai, dare to ask the name of the strong man? ”

The other party was looking left and right, triumphant, turned his head when he heard the words, hugged his fists, and replied happily: "Hahaha, Hebei Tian Shengong!" ”

Xue Bai saw that this Tian Shengong was good at riding and archery, so he wrote down this name, and had the heart to make friends with Youxiao Wei next time.

Just as she was about to talk a few more words, Du Yan had already pulled the reins and left, reminding in a low voice: "Make friends with martial artists everywhere, and be careful of ending up like willows." ”

"It's different."

~~

A few more roars sounded in the courtyard, and although the thug was injured and his wrists were dripping with blood, he was still struggling to the death.

Yang Zhao finally dared to go around the corpse on the ground and stepped forward, picked up the Mo knife and bow on the ground and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Longyou Weapon!"

Later, everyone searched out a few servant women who took care of Du Yan's daily life from the courtyard, as well as a little eunuch.

So far, this case is no longer comparable to the Liu Tao case.

Raising Longyou veterans and killing the sixteen guards is no different from rebellion, once convicted, with the temperament of today's saints, it is not as simple as abolishing the prince.

……

Only doubts flashed in Xue Bai's eyes.

He always knew that Li Heng was secretly accumulating strength, but he didn't expect to get someone so easily.

But no matter what, he promised to give Li Linfu a result in five days, and now he has got it in two days. As for how to interrogate, that is Li Linfu's business.
