The book continues from the above, the last book said that Chu Mofeng and his party arrived in Liangzhou, and after settling down, Chu Mofeng took the lead in coming to Liangzhou to inquire about the news, through Liang Yi's report, Chu Mofeng learned scattered information about Yizhou, in view of the seriousness of the situation, Chu Mofeng decided to rush to Yizhou tomorrow to investigate.

On the other hand, in Yizhou City, Qingyu, the maid of the Governor's Mansion, took the opportunity of going out to buy to pass the news through the Yizhou Carriage and Horse Shop, but at this time, Dou Liang, who was the Governor of Yizhou, did not know that he had already come to a catastrophe.

In the early morning of the second day, the three of them settled the house payment, left Liangzhou directly, hired a boat at the ferry port and went back up the Han River, heading towards Yizhou.

The passenger ship sailed on the Han River between the Qinling Mountains and the Bashan Mountains, looking at the Han River from a distance like a ribbon, skillfully separating the two mountain ranges, looking at the endless Han River, Chu Mofeng stood at the bow of the boat and couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the ancestors to open the mountain and control the water. It was November in winter, and there were bursts of mist on the river surface in the early morning, and on the mountains on both sides of the riverbank, the original lush trees were now golden all over the ground, appearing and disappearing in the mist, which seemed quite mysterious.

In the cabin, Gu Zhen'er and Liu Feiyan had already simmered and eaten, and seeing that Chu Mofeng was still looking at the bow of the boat, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and then Gu Zhen'er walked out of the cabin and went straight to Chu Mofeng's side, looking at the beautiful scenery around her, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Feng, there is such a wonderful scenery on this Han River, it seems that this trip is really the right one." Do you think there is any poignant love story in this majestic mountain range?"

Chu Mofeng smiled when he heard this, "There are arbors in the south, don't think about it." Han has a wandering girl, unthinkable. The breadth of the Han is incomprehensible. Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. This is from the "Book of Songs", which tells a beautiful love story in the Jinzhou area of the Hanshui Basin, and I will tell you a good story when I have time. ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Gu Zhen'er's cheeks suddenly turned red, and then she said in a low voice: "Okay, I haven't heard any love stories at such an old age." Seeing this, Chu Mofeng was about to open his mouth to comfort a few words, but who knew that Gu Zhen'er's next words almost made Chu Mofeng fall into the water in fright, "Then Brother Feng, will you hold someone and tell a story in the bed." ”

"Go, go, Zhen'er, you're also a big girl, don't attack suddenly every time, what if I fall into the water?" Looking at the water in shock, Chu Mofeng breathed a sigh of relief, this Gu Zhen'er has been like this for so many years, although she knows that she has a trace of affection for herself, but she has never been able to give her any promises, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng walked up to Gu Zhen'er, rubbed her head as before, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, it's windy outside, let's go into the cabin to eat." ”

Gu Zhen'er nodded in surprise when she saw this, and followed Chu Mofeng into the cabin, at this time the cabin was filled with the fragrance of stewed meat, Liu Feiyan saw the two of them coming, and hurriedly set up the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Hurry up and sit down and eat something, I went to the stern of the boat to ask, and there are about two days away." ”

Chu Mofeng, who ate a pot of steaming stew, sweated profusely, and then the three of them slept in the cabin, and gradually fell asleep, only the ship was still slowly moving forward with the efforts of the ship boss.

On the mountain near Yizhou, Ji Duofu, who had already returned, was sitting around the bonfire with his tribesmen at this moment, silently eating a few foods, when suddenly a tribesman stood up and shouted: "Why should you have trouble with our fangs?

When everyone present heard this, they all echoed it, and another person held a firewood knife and said angrily: "These Han people don't have a good thing, so we might as well rush into the city and kill one by one." ”

When the people who were still indignant heard that they had gone into the city to kill people, they were like eggplants beaten by frost, and they sat in place with their heads bowed and did not say a word. Seeing this, Ji Duofu stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, I Ji Duofu once lived in the place of the Han people for a period of time, in fact, the Han people are not all bad people, the old Liang who took me in is a good person, not only give me food, but also give me a place to live, as long as I work hard, I will be paid, and most of the people in that Liangzhou City are good, the really bad is the Dou rail, I think we should go to the capital to sue the emperor, then His Majesty the Emperor should be the master for us." ”

After listening to Ji Duo Fucai's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then began to discuss, and the fang man that Ji Duo Fu saw in Liangzhou was sitting opposite at the moment, looking at everyone quietly, and smiled helplessly, originally thinking of gathering these fang people and bringing them back to the territory under their own organization to survive, who knew that they suddenly received news that person came from the capital to thoroughly investigate the matter of Dou Rail, in view of the internal order of the organization, not to contact this person too much, so the original plan was abandoned.

Three days later, the boat slowly docked on the dock of Chengdu in Yizhou, Chu Mofeng and others quickly entered the city after dressing up, as soon as they walked into the city, they found that everyone on the street was in a hurry, and they grabbed a passer-by to ask, and before they could speak, the passer-by seemed to remember something terrible, desperately breaking free and hurriedly fleeing.

Chu Mofeng and the others couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, and in desperation, the three of them had to lead the horse and walk forward slowly, Chengdu was originally subordinate to the county seat of Shu County, and in the first year of Wude (618), Shu County was abolished and renamed Yizhou, and the government office was still set up in the city of Chengdu. As the third of the four famous cities in the Central Plains (Chang'an, Yangzhou, Chengdu and Dunhuang), Chengdu has developed agriculture, silk industry, handicraft industry and commerce, and the development of papermaking and printing technology is very fast. And the "Shu embroidery" here is one of the three famous embroideries in the country, and the "Shu brocade" is regarded as a tribute treasure, and the output is the first in the country.

Along the way, because Chengdu is also like the capital of the general residence and the market separated, the three of them passed through almost all the doors closed, and the market vendors selling are also few, occasionally people come to buy, but also in a hurry, and then hurried away, everyone's face is gloomy, looking at all this in front of him, Chu Mofeng couldn't help muttering in his heart, where is this the impression of the rich Chengdu, I think when I went to Emei, I used to pass through Shu County, although it was under the rule of Emperor Yang of Sui, but Chengdu is located in a remote area, people live and work in peace and contentment, but now this Chengdu in front of me, but it is as twilight as a dead city, and it seems that he should connect with the local car and horse shop as soon as possible, and ask why.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng turned to Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er and said, "Let's go, let's not settle down yet, and go with me to the carriage and horses." The two of them nodded when they heard this, then turned over and got on their horses, and followed Chu Mofeng towards the carriages and horses in Chengdu City.

Chengdu Che Ma Xing, or should be called the Yizhou Station of the Wanderer Intelligence Department, is the terminal station of the wanderer in the Bashu region in the southwest, where countless messages are received every day, and after sorting and selection, they are archived and transmitted to Chang'an according to different levels.

Although Chang'an has a carriage and horse shop, but Chang'an's carriage and horse shop has nothing to do with the wanderer intelligence office, the real headquarters of the wanderer intelligence office is in the boudoir of the princess Hua Ling'er on the side of the Xianwang Mansion, Chu Mofeng secretly formed the wanderer with the help of the post station and the carriage and horse shop, and then considering that he could not always pay attention to the information transmission of the wanderer, after thinking about it, Chu Mofeng passed the position of the wanderer's general leader on the bed to his lady Hua Ling'er on the bed in a silent night.

In view of the fact that the fewer people know about this matter, the better, and Hua Ling'er's temperament is also suitable for this kind of intelligence collection and analysis, so Chu Mofeng asked Hua Ling'er not to reveal half a word, just before marrying Dou Jingyan later, the entire mansion was merged and renovated, Chu Mofeng simply built a huge dark room in Hua Ling'er's room, and the entrance was set behind Hua Ling'er's sandalwood dresser.

At this time, in the carriage and horse shop, the shopkeeper Zhu Dazheng stood in front of the counter, looking at the few records in the account book, and couldn't help sighing, how did this group of fools in the court get the Dou Rail thing back, Chengdu was originally rich, who knew that after this goods came, the people in Chengdu City and even Yizhou made people panic, everyone went out every day is cautious, once they return home, they are like escaping death, every night before the curfew begins, each family has already turned off the lights and closed the door, and stayed quietly at home The atmosphere does not dare to come out, for fear that a careless will be found by Dou Rail and lose his life。

It is said that this person is still a relative of the emperor, where is there a little bit of the appearance of the emperor's relatives, if you talk about the example of these royal relatives in the court, it should be His Royal Highness Xianwang, and see that His Royal Highness Xianwang has always loved his subordinates and cares about the people, such a good person has only produced one for thousands of years, and he is also lucky to be able to do things under the command of Xianwang, if he does not do things well, he is not ashamed of His Royal Highness Xianwang's expectations of himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Da raised his head and looked out of the door, "Since there is nothing to do today, let's clean up all the carriages in the carriage and horse shop, so as not to be unhappy when the next guest rides, you pull all the carriages from the back door to the courtyard, and I will pass over later." When the guys in the store heard this, they immediately claimed that it was, and then quickly went out and began to hail the carriage into the hospital.

Seeing this, Zhu Da picked up the teapot on the counter and took a sip, closed the account book and was about to turn around and leave, when a man and two women suddenly walked in from outside the door, Zhu Da saw someone coming in, and said lazily: "If the guest officer is here to hire a carriage, then I'm really sorry, the shop is temporarily closed today, please come back tomorrow." After saying that, he waved at the visitor, and then continued to walk in the direction of the backyard.

Who knew that he had just turned around and walked a few steps, but he heard the other party say with a slight joke: "Shopkeeper Zhu, please stay, if you leave this time, how can the fangs in the Yizhou area be rescued?"

Fangren, this matter belongs to the biggest secret of Yizhou Station, for which Yizhou Station almost lost an equestrian expert, and this Qingyu is still undercover on the Dou Rail Mansion, how did this person learn about the Yizhou Fangren, it is not because he is hiding and leaking in Qingyu, and he is still exposed here, if this is the case, then he has to get rid of these three people today, and then he needs to destroy all the documents and other items in the backyard room, so as not to affect His Royal Highness King Xian.

Thinking of this, Zhu Da sneered, his right wrist shook, and a dagger glowing with light appeared in the palm of his hand, and then Zhu Da suddenly turned around, and stabbed the man with the dagger under his feet, this stab exhausted Zhu Da's whole body strength, seeing that the dagger was about to stick to the other party's chest, only to hear the sound of 'ding', a sharp pain suddenly came from his wrist, and the dagger in his hand was gone.

At this time, Zhu Da found that the woman standing on the left hand side of the man was holding a soft sword in her hand, which was still buzzing at the moment, seeing that the sneak attack was not successful, Zhu Da immediately gritted his teeth, took a few steps back, took out a barrier knife from under the counter, and rushed towards the man again, who knew that he had not rushed forward a few steps, only to hear the man shout loudly: "Okay Zhu Da, this king rarely comes to Yizhou once, is this how you greet this king?"

Then the man took out a token from his arms and threw it to Zhu Da, Zhu Da saw this and took the token to take a closer look, and was immediately taken aback, threw away the barrier knife in his hand, knelt down at the man and said: "Yizhou Zhu Da has seen His Highness, and he was afraid that it was the other party's spies, so he made a rash move in a hurry, and I hope His Highness will not blame." ”

"You have just done a good job, how can this king blame you. I saw Chu Mofeng sitting slowly on the side, motioning for Zhu Da to get up, and then said with a smile: "The wanderer said in the iron law that if the intelligence station is exposed, it should be quickly cut off from all the hidden personnel, ordered to evacuate, destroy all correspondence and tools, and after ensuring that nothing is missed, after all the hidden personnel have left, they can evacuate on their own." You have done a good job just now, and according to the rules, the king should reward you, and the reward will arrive in Yizhou in a while. ”

Zhu Da saluted Chu Mofeng when he heard this, and then glanced at the two women beside Chu Mofeng, "Dare to ask Your Highness, these two are ......?"

"This is General Liu and the other is General Gu, both of them are subordinate to the other side of the flower, and they are the henchmen of this king, you can rest assured. Chu Mofeng knew that these people engaged in intelligence work were much more sensitive than ordinary people, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain, and then asked anxiously: "Is there a new situation in Yizhou recently?"

"Your Royal Highness, the maid came to report ...... a few days ago" As soon as he opened his mouth for half a sentence, Zhu Da suddenly walked to the gate, quickly closed the gate, and then turned back to Chu Mofeng, "Dou Liang is ready to go to the imperial court, saying that the fangs want to rebel, and ask the imperial court to allow him to transfer troops to suppress it. It is estimated that the song is still on the way, and this news was sent to the capital through the flying pigeon on the same day. ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, and then looked out of the door, thinking that it was best for Ling'er to receive the news first, otherwise once the imperial court received the fold first, lest Li Shimin in the court would not know how to deal with it.

In the capital, Hua Linger just unfolded a note and read it, immediately frowned, put the note in her arms, hurriedly walked out of the dark room, and walked straight to the outside of the mansion, when she was about to reach the gate, Hua Linger said to the gatekeeper: "Tell me to go down, this princess needs to enter the palace for something, so that the carriage is ready." ”

After a while, the carriage slowly drove to the gate, Hua Ling'er jumped into the carriage when she saw this, and then shouted, 'Go to the palace', the coachman responded with a shake of the reins, and the carriage slowly drove towards the direction of Yong'an Gate.

In Lingxuan Pavilion, Princess Li Yue of Danyang was sitting in a daze in the house at the moment, and heard that the guy was sent to the Bashu area by His Majesty again, Li Yue couldn't help but miss him a little, and at this time he heard that someone outside the door was singing, saying that the princess on the side of the Xian Wangfu asked to see him, Li Yue hurriedly ordered Bao'er to go to greet him, and he was a little tidy up, and walked quickly towards the door.

When he came to the door, he found that the person who came turned out to be Hua Ling'er, Li Yue immediately smiled and said, "What kind of wind is blowing my sister here today?"

"What is my sister talking about, you are usually busy in the palace, and you are not allowed to come to the house as a guest, sister, I miss my sister very much. In view of the fact that Hua Ling'er also holds the title of princess, so seeing that Li Yue does not have to call herself a concubine, Li Yue and Hua Ling'er immediately walked in, and after the guest and host sat down, Li Yue instructed Bao'er to serve fragrant tea and pastries, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat.

After everyone left, Li Yue said with a smile: "What is the so-called reason why my sister came today?"

"My sister is really smart, and I know that I can't hide it from my sister. I saw Hua Ling'er take out a note from her arms and hand it to Li Yue, and then whispered: "Your Highness has recently thoroughly investigated this matter in the Bashu area, and my sister I want to report this news to Your Majesty, so as not to make a fuss about it and ruin the plan of Your Majesty and Your Highness." ”

As soon as he heard that it was about that person, Li Yue immediately stood up and shouted outside the door: "Hurry up and prepare the princess's sedan chair, this princess is going to meet the emperor's brother." I only heard someone answer outside the door, and after a while, I heard Bao'er shouting outside the door: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, your sedan chair is ready." ”

Li Yue turned his head and glanced at the sundial outside the door when he heard this, it was almost noon at this moment, and at this moment Li Shimin should be in the Taiji Hall to prepare for the morning court, Li Yue immediately dragged Hua Ling'er onto the sedan chair, and then shouted, 'Go to the Taiji Palace', and then the sedan chair went up together, and then walked forward.

From the Baifu Gate along the road through the Suzhang Gate, the sedan chariot drove all the way, from the right Yanming Gate to the Taiji Palace, when the sedan chariot stopped, Li Yue dragged Hua Ling'er to jump off the sedan chair, three steps and two steps up the steps, running towards the Taiji Palace, the ministers met along the way, seeing that it was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the princess on the side of the Xianwang Mansion, they stopped to salute, but the two of them had no time to care about him at this time, so they had to nod their heads in return.

When he came to the Taiji Palace, Li Yue didn't care about etiquette, grabbed a small yellow door and whispered in a low voice, and the small yellow door immediately hurriedly ran towards the direction of the apse, and after a while, Wang De, who looked anxious, ran over, "My eldest princess, alas, how did you run to the Taiji Hall with Her Royal Highness the side princess, what can make the two of you so disregard etiquette?"

Seeing this, Hua Ling'er thought for a moment, and then handed the note to Wang De. Then he whispered: "The prince bothers you to give this note to Your Majesty, and it is said that it was sent back by His Royal Highness King Xian, and Your Majesty is in charge of everything." ”

Seeing this, Wang De put away the note, waved his hand at the two, signaled the two to leave quickly, and then turned around and walked towards the apse.

Seeing that Wang De accepted the note, Hua Ling'er and Li Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned around and left the Taiji Palace, boarded the sedan chair and prepared to return to Lingxuan Pavilion.

And while Hua Linger and Li Yue were busy delivering the news, on the mountain where the fangs lived near Yizhou, a fangman who claimed to be called Abdullah suddenly came, who came with a large amount of supplies, claiming that he was doing a small business in the Jinzhou area, and heard about the Yizhou fangren, and came to help.

Seeing this, the fangs couldn't help but be overjoyed, because there were not many supplies left on the mountain at this time, this Abdullah came with a large number of supplies at this moment, as if sending charcoal in the snow, and instantly won the favor of everyone.

And the fangman in the crowd who had been in contact with Ji Duofu and claimed to be called Yoshikawa Wangdui, stared at that Abdullah for a long time, and then a smile flashed on his face, it turned out that the person was here, since he came, it means that the court knows about the fangs, and this group of fangs, or the fangs in the entire Yizhou area, can be liberated.

Chu Mofeng, who understood that the situation had changed, assumed the pseudonym Abdullah, and after dressing up in disguise, he purchased a large number of supplies in the city, and then smoothly entered the mountain where the fangs lived under the escort of Zhu Da, while Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er, who accompanied him before, were left in the inn in the city by Chu Mofeng, so that they could inquire about the news at any time.

So far, Chu Mofeng has lived in the deep mountains as a sultry Abdullah, and Chu Mofeng will teach these fangs some knowledge of life and production on the side, because Chu Mofeng knows that the reason why these people will do some petty theft is because they do not produce, "Hanshu Dong Zhongshu Biography" has mentioned: Therefore, since the Han Dynasty won the world, those who often want to govern but have not been able to govern well have lost their time when they should be changed but not changed. The ancients said: 'It is better to retreat and build a net than to envy the fish in the abyss.'

Therefore, Chu Mofeng tried his best to teach them some ways to learn knowledge, so that these sultry people could fundamentally change their state and thoughts.

On the 15th of December, the governor of Yizhou, Dou Liang, claimed that the local fangs had rebelled, and asked the imperial court to send troops to fight.

Li Shimin, who had already received the news from Hua Ling'er and learned about the actual situation in Yizhou from Guo Xingfang's mouth, was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, holding the folds of the Dou Rail in his hand, and said coldly to His Royal Highness's ministers: "The people rely on the mountains and forests and often come out to do some petty theft, which is their usual habit. If the magistrates could be appeased by their faith, they would naturally be obedient. How can we easily go to war, catch and beat the fangs, and treat them like beasts? Is this the original intention of being the parents of the people?"

Then Li Shimin said sharply: "Spread my will, strictly prohibit the Yizhou side from hunting and killing the fangmin, and at the same time order the military department to inform the Yizhou defenders that the soldiers of the imperial court are used to resist the foreign land and surround the people, if the Yizhou defenders do not obey the order and force out, then I will definitely mobilize the Tiance army in the north and the Longcheng army in the capital to kill them for the crime of rebellion." ”

After issuing these wills, Li Shimin ordered people to send the will to Yizhou in an expedited manner of 800 miles, and at the same time brought an edict.

Three days later, in the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, the people who came to the imperial court to deliver the decree first read out the decree, and then said to Dou Rail: "Dou Dudu, Your Majesty has a message to you: Dou Rail, do you think I don't know anything about what you are doing in Yizhou? If you are obsessed with it and become more serious, then I will send the imperial brother to ask you about the situation." ”

After listening to this message, Dou Rail was terrified in his heart, he never thought that His Majesty, who was thousands of miles away, actually knew about his own affairs, it seems that Guo Xingfang really ran to the capital, thinking that Dou Rail forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and accepted the order, and then sent the messenger to leave, and then ordered to increase the investigation at the city gate.

On December 20th, there were not many supplies left in the mountain, Abdullah saw this and found Ji Duo Fucai, and proposed that Ji Duo Fucai accompany him to the city to purchase, after the two discussed, they set off from the mountain to prepare to enter the city of Chengdu, just walked to the city gate, the city guards quickly stopped the two, after some inquiry, they learned that the two were fangs, and immediately took the two of them into the prison in the city, but they did not know that this situation had already been seen by Zhu Da who was guarding near the city gate, and then Zhu Da quickly ran to the inn, found Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er, and informed the situation, after learning the news, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then began to act。

At the same time, Dou Rail received the news that the Qincha Guards were about to arrive in Yizhou tomorrow, and when he learned of the arrival of the Qincha, Dou Rail's heart couldn't help but become anxious......

As the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, and watch Abdullah's clever words and play Dou Rail in the prison, and then watch the Chengdu City Qincha guards get angry and save Qincha, I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition......
