The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after Chu Mofeng dealt with Chen Jingqing's funeral, he went to the court as usual on the morning of the second day, but unexpectedly, Li Jing, the secretary of the Tang Dynasty Military Department, who was supposed to be in Luzhou, suddenly returned to Beijing, and Li Jing reported to Li Yuan what happened outside the city of Bingzhou. Li Yuan was furious when he heard this, and then ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to recommend a person to investigate thoroughly.

When Li Shimin was in a dilemma, Chu Mofeng recommended himself and was willing to investigate, Li Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered him to patrol the heavens for the minister of the Qin Mission, and thoroughly investigate the case of merging the state.

Chu Mofeng prepared for a while, and on the second day, he took the Qincha Guards to march towards the direction of Bingzhou, because the guards marched too slowly, in desperation, Chu Mofeng had no choice but to lead the other side of the flower team to Youzhou after arriving in Bingzhou, and ordered the Qincha Guards to set off later according to the original route, and the Tiance Army, which had followed at the end of the guards, turned early and rushed towards Youzhou.

At this time, in Youzhou City, Li Hui, who escaped death, was enduring the scolding of Li Ming, the governor of Youzhou, if it weren't for Wang Junkuo's intercession, perhaps Li Hui would have become a ghost under the sword at this moment, and then the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion reported that Chu Mofeng had been appointed as a Qincha, and came to thoroughly investigate the case of merging the state, Li Ying and Wang Junkuo, who got the news, were suddenly shocked, and Wang Junkuo, who was born as a robber in a panic, thought of a poisonous plan: attack the Qincha guards.

Then the two discussed it together and decided to lead a group of disguised Youzhou troops to carry out this matter led by Li Chuang, the captain of Li Jin's personal army. At this time, Chu Mofeng and the others, who were still rushing towards Youzhou, did not know that the invisible net in front of them had already opened, revealing a large mouth of devouring blood.

In March of the ninth year of Wude, the breath of early spring was wantonly permeating the air, the trees on the roadside had faded their winter winter clothes, and quietly emerged with a trace of vitality, and the bright green of the stars on the earth seemed to indicate that winter was going to spring. And on the official road leading from Bingzhou to Youzhou, five horses galloped rapidly, and the riders on the horses each wore a strange-looking mask, driving forward coldly, and the pedestrians along the way avoided and dodged when they saw this, and the five people galloped past and rolled up the dust.

Looking at the official road in front of him, Chu Mofeng said aloud to the four people behind him: "Let's go to Zhaozhou for a short stay, repair the night and continue to rush on the second day." ”

The four people behind him didn't seem to hear Chu Mofeng's words, but they all raised the horsewhip in their hands, twitched at the mount under their crotch, and accelerated their pace.

At this time, in the study room of the Governor of Youzhou City's Mansion, Li Ying looked at the man with a thin figure and a cold face in front of him, and said slowly: "Li Chuang, you have been following the Governor of Pontus for a long time, and the Governor of Pontus has something important for you to do today, I hope you don't disappoint the Governor of Pontus." ”

The man named Li Chuang first glanced up at Li Jin, and then glanced at Wang Junkuo, who was sitting on the side, and immediately knelt down to Li Ying and said: "The villain is thanks to the wrong love of the governor, from a pawn to the captain of the governor's own army, and also completely bid farewell to the life of the past eclipse, all of this is given by the governor, but if you have any send, the villain will do his best to complete, please supervise." ”

Looking at Li Chuang, who was loyal in front of him, Li Ying couldn't help but nodded, the look of satisfaction on his face was indiscriminate, and then he helped Li Chuang up with a smile and said: "Tomorrow, you take 500 people out of the city and go to camp fifty miles away from Youzhou City. ”

Listening to Li Ming's words, Li Chuang's face showed an excited expression, and he said to Li Ying: "The villain thanks the governor for his kindness, if he succeeds this time, it is also the governor's command, how dare the villain take credit in front of the governor, the villain will definitely do his best to live up to the governor's high expectations." ”

Li Ying immediately laughed when he heard this, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, bring the things." As soon as the words fell, I saw an attendant walking in with a tray, Li Ying stepped forward to uncover the red cloth covering the tray, and saw a pair of delicate jade Ruyi placed in the tray, and then Li Ying smiled and said to Li Chuang: "This is the Pondu Governor rewards you, I hope you do your best to do it, after the deed is completed, the Pondu Governor has another reward, you go down to prepare first, and there will be no mistake in setting off early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that the pair of delicate jade ruyi in front of the meeting showed a strange brilliance under the sunlight, Li Chuang's eyes immediately brightened, and he hurriedly took the tray and knelt down to Li Ying and said: "The villain has thanked the governor in advance, please rest assured, the villain will go down to prepare." After saying that, he turned around and left the study with the tray.

After Li Chuang left, Li Ying turned to look at Wang Junkuo on the side and said, "The general didn't say a word, is there any doubt?"

I saw Wang Junkuo put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and moved, and then stretched a long lazy waist and said: "Actually, there is no doubt, but whether you, the captain of the pro-soldiers, are trustworthy or not, remains to be considered at this time." ”

"What do you mean by this, Li Chuang has followed me for many years, and has been by my side from birth to death, if this person is not trustworthy, then who else can I trust?" Listening to Wang Junkuo's words, Li Ying couldn't help but say with some annoyance: "If General Wang is not at ease, you can send a few confidants to accompany you at that time." ”

Seeing that Li Ying was a little annoyed, Wang Junkuo immediately smiled and said: "Please don't be angry, because there have been too many changes during this time, the lower officials have to be cautious, since the governor believes in Li Chuang, if Jun Kuo sends someone to accompany him again, wouldn't it mean that Jun Kuo doesn't believe in the governor? At this time, since the governor came forward, then Jun Kuo must believe you." After speaking, Wang Junkuo got up and arched his hand to Li Ying and said: "There are still some things to deal with in Junkuo's mansion, take the first step, and wish the governor a victory." ”

After Wang Junkuo finished speaking, he turned around and left the study of the Governor's Mansion, walked out of Li Jin's mansion and came to the street, Wang Junkuo glanced back at the Governor's Mansion with carved railings and jade, and secretly slandered in his heart: Are you really stupid to me? Send my people to follow, if the plan fails at that time, wouldn't even me get in? Thinking of this, Wang Junkuo got into the carriage and shouted to the coachman: "Go back to the house, from now on, you will close the door and thank the guests, unless it is a messenger, you will not see any guests." ”

The carriage walked forward leisurely, Wang Junkuo lifted the curtain boringly and looked out the window, suddenly a familiar figure came into view, Wang Junkuo saw this and hurriedly stopped the carriage, he jumped out of the carriage with an arrow step, walked behind the figure and gently patted him on the shoulder, only to see that after this person turned around, Wang Junkuo found that he really did not guess wrong, this person was Li Chuang, the captain of Li Jin's personal soldiers, when he saw that the person who patted himself was Wang Junkuo, Li Chuang couldn't help but ask with some surprise: " General Wang, why did you meet you here, you are ......?"

"I have just finished discussing the matter with the governor of your family, and I am about to go back to the house. Wang Junkuo looked at Li Jin's face, and said with a slightly meaningful smile: "What are you going to do Captain Li?"

"Hey, don't mention it, saying it will make you laugh. I saw Li Chuang waving his hand at Wang Junkuo, and said with some embarrassment: "Last night, the villain was on duty, who knew that after seeing the governor today, he found that he seemed to be suffering from a cold disease. After speaking, he bowed to Wang Junkuo.

"Captain Li must pay attention to his body, otherwise how will he complete the task assigned by the Governor. Wang Junkuo smiled when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry about this matter, the official will definitely keep it secret for you, go and grab the medicine quickly, and the official will also return home." After speaking, Wang Junkuo turned around and walked towards his carriage.

Seeing this, Li Chuang hurriedly bowed to Wang Junkuo, and shouted loudly: "The villain thanked General Wang and sent General Wang off." After Wang Junkuo's carriage walked away, Li Chuang straightened up and looked at the direction of Wang Junkuo's departure with a cold face.

Went straight to the pharmacy next to the carriage and horse shop, Li Chuang found the doctor to call the pulse, and then the doctor prescribed a few pairs of medicines, after some instructions, Li Chuang got up and left the pharmacy, thinking that he was not feeling well and was too lazy to walk, and today Li Ying rewarded a pair of kodama Ruyi, so he decided to be extravagant, and came to the carriage to prepare to hire a carriage to go home.

Walking into the carriage shop, a guy came up to him and said with a smile: "Is the guest officer going to hire a carriage?"

Li Chuangyan nodded and said, "I want to hire a carriage to go to the south of the city, I felt cold yesterday, and I am really too lazy to walk today." ”

When the man heard this, he was about to look through the account books to assign the carriage, but the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop suddenly walked out of the inner room, and when he saw Li Chuang coming to hire the carriage, he looked at the herbs in Li Chuang's hand, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Did the guest officer go to grab medicine today?"

"Yes, I occasionally felt a cold yesterday, so I grabbed some medicine and drank it today. Li Chuang nodded and smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Does the shopkeeper understand pharmacology?"

"I know a little bit, it is best to use banlan root, honeysuckle, forsythia, nepeta, licorice, bellflower, almond, brocade lantern, and croton to treat wind and cold, I don't know if the doctor next door is like this for the guest officer?" ”

Who knew that Li Chuang listened to the shopkeeper's words, and immediately said with a smile: "It seems that the shopkeeper still doesn't understand, the last medicine is mountain beans, not croton, and croton is fire-relieving." ”

The shopkeeper slapped his head and said shyly: "Look, I remembered it wrong, yes, yes, it's a mountain bean." At this time, the guy walked up to Li Chuang and said, "Guest officer, is this going to prepare a carriage for you?"

As soon as the man's words fell, the shopkeeper waved his hand at him and said, "I'll entertain this guest officer, you go to the door to see if the carriages that went out before have all returned?"

And the shopkeeper walked up to Li Chuang and whispered, "What is the urgent matter?"

"Quickly inform His Royal Highness King Xian that Li Ying ordered me to lead five hundred soldiers to attack the Qincha guards outside Youzhou City tomorrow after dressing up, and the matter is urgent, I can only send the news in this way. Li Chuangyan told the shopkeeper the beginning and end of the matter word for word.

After listening to Li Chuang's narration, the shopkeeper said with a solemn face: "Without further ado, I will send a message to His Royal Highness to let the old man be prepared." Li Chuangyan nodded when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Everything is please, if there is a big event in Youzhou, I will not come under normal circumstances, you should pay more attention to it, don't show flaws, I will leave first." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper grabbed him and said with a smile: "Guest officer, aren't you here to hire a carriage? ”

Seeing this, Li Chuang smiled and took out thirty five-baht coins from his arms and put them on the table, then arched his hand to the shopkeeper, and left the carriage and horse shop slowly, and the carriage slowly drove towards the south of the city from the north of the city, and above the car and horse shop, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew towards the southwest.

In Zhaozhou City, Chu Mofeng and his entourage entered Zhaozhou City in a low-key manner, and then ran directly to the inn to stay, after hastily eating, Chu Mofeng instructed the men to feed the horses of the five, and then turned around and prepared to go upstairs, who knew that as soon as he walked to the staircase, he heard someone talking about Qincha. Chu Mofeng motioned for Liu Feiyan and the others to go up, while he stood in the corner on the side and listened attentively.

I saw a man at a table not far away and said mysteriously to the woman opposite: "Have you heard? Our Majesty has sent His Royal Highness King Xian as a messenger to inspect Kyushu in person, and now our Zhaozhou can see the light of day again." ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman made a silent gesture and said, "You are crazy, let those people hear, you have to put you in prison, even if you are not killed, you must be put off a layer of skin." ”

The man immediately shut up when he heard this, and then buried his head and began to eat, Chu Mofeng listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but smile, thinking that when I come back from Youzhou, I will deal with the affairs here. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng went straight to the second floor, hurriedly returned to the house and began to rest.

In the early morning of the second day, taking advantage of the opening of the gate, Chu Mofeng and his party quickly left Zhaozhou and continued to move towards Youzhou. On the Youzhou side, Li Chuang also quietly left with five hundred Youzhou troops and came to the designated location to camp and hide. Looking at the sky where the sun was rising, Li Chuang secretly thought in his heart: I hope the news can reach King Xian as soon as possible.

Five days later, Chu Mofeng and his entourage had already come to a position about eighty miles away from Youzhou, looking at the endless road in front of them, Chu Mofeng immediately grabbed the reins and motioned for everyone to stop and rest.

At this time, Liu Feiyan slowly stepped forward and asked softly: "Brother Chu, why did you stop at this time when you didn't stop all the way before?"

I saw Chu Mofeng take out a water bladder from the jacket and unscrew it, slowly poured a sip of water, and then handed it to Liu Feiyan, and then said with a smile: "Stop at this time because we have to wait for the Tiance Army, and it seems that some people in Youzhou City don't welcome us to come, and they prepared a big gift for us outside the city, since there are gifts to receive, then why don't I accept it?"

Taking Chu Mofeng's water bladder, Liu Feiyan didn't care that Chu Mofeng had already taken a sip, he went straight to his lips and took a sip slowly, then stretched out his hand to wipe his delicate red lips, and said softly: "Could it be that the people who chased and killed Ruolan all the way before were really the Youzhou Army?"

Chu Mofeng nodded and did not speak, took out a note from his arms and handed it to Liu Feiyan, then turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Gu Zhen'er and the others. Liu Feiyan slowly unfolded the note, only to see a shocking line written on it: Li Ying and Wang Junkuo wanted to send troops outside the city to attack the Qincha Guards. After reading this, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but cover his mouth, as if he felt that this matter was a little incredible, and then he also turned over and dismounted and chased in the direction of Chu Mofeng.

Coming to Gu Zhen'er, Chu Mofeng raised his face and smiled at her and said, "I haven't eaten anything good in the past few days, I must be unhappy, right?" After arriving in Youzhou, what do you want to eat, can Brother Chu buy it for you?"

The temptation of food in the past was absolutely irresistible for Gu Zhen'er, but this time it didn't work, I saw Gu Zhen'er take off her mask, dust off her body, and said with a cold face: "Brother Feng, what people want to do most now is to avenge Qinqing, as for other things, let's talk about it later." ”

Listening to Gu Zhen'er's words, Chu Mofeng raised his head and looked around, and found that there was no thin figure as far as his sight could see, and he couldn't help but feel lonely in his heart, and was about to turn around and leave, only to hear the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, and looked back over Gu Zhen'er's body, only to see a group of black-armored cavalry rushing in his direction.

When this group of cavalry was about to approach, I saw that the two men led by him quickly turned over and dismounted, walked to Chu Mofeng and knelt down in front of him, and said, "My subordinate Zhao Xin (Li Jian) has seen His Royal Highness King Xian. ”

Looking at his confidant and favorite general, Chu Mofeng nodded with satisfaction, then helped the two of them up, and said coldly: "This king has received conclusive news, about fifty miles ahead, there are a large number of soldiers in ambush, if we want to enter the city, we must have a conflict with it, my order is very simple, if there is resistance, kill all of them, repeat this time, don't leave a living mouth, except for one named Li Chuang, who needs to be captured alive, the rest of the people must be killed, this battle must be resolved quickly, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xin and Li Jian hurriedly clasped their fists together and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will complete the task." Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, then put on his mask and said to Liu Feiyan and the others: "Let's go, let's go and avenge Qinqing." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Chu Mofeng rushing onto the horse's back with an arrow step, and rushed out first with his legs between his legs, and the rest of the people hurriedly urged the horses under their crotches to follow closely when they saw this.

After carefully setting up an ambush for five consecutive days, the Youzhou army was already anxious, if it weren't for the fact that Li Chuang was the person appointed by the Metropolitan Governor, this group of people would have been in trouble a long time ago. At this time, Li Chuang stood in front of the camp and said loudly: "Everyone, the other party should come today, before leaving, the governor ordered, after doing this thing, everyone will be rewarded, I hope you will not live up to the governor's kindness, you need to make it clear that the governor means not to leave a living, do you understand? ”

As soon as everyone heard that this boring day was finally over, they hurriedly began to pack up the objects of the scene, and then the big saber was unsheathed and unwound, quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Chu Mofeng and the others rushed all the way, and within a moment came to the location where Li Chuang and the others were ambushed, Li Chuang, who was hiding in the woods at this time, saw Chu Mofeng's Yaksha mask at first sight, and immediately secretly applauded in his heart, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone, follow me to rush over." When everyone behind him heard this, they immediately raised their weapons and rushed in the direction of Chu Mofeng, while Li Chuang quietly retreated and gradually moved away from the battlefield.

Looking at the people who suddenly rushed out from the side, Chu Mofeng was not surprised but overjoyed, and shouted to Liu Feiyan and the others behind him with a hideous face: "Kill all of them and leave them behind." As soon as the words fell, I saw that Liu Feiyan and the others had already stepped forward, drew their weapons and exchanged fire with the other party.

Looking at the team of only five people, a soldier in the Youzhou army shouted: "Guys, there are only five people on the other side, we are a full five hundred, quickly kill them." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the corners of Chu Mofeng's mouth under the mask rise slightly, and said coldly: "Who said that there are only five of us?" Then Chu Mofeng raised his left hand and shouted: "Tiance Army, the whole army will attack." ”

The Youzhou army on the opposite side only heard the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, and a group of black-armored cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and before they could react, the rain of arrows fell in an instant, and the few people who fought with their own people before had already left the battlefield, and they stood in the distance and looked at their people coldly.

After a rain of arrows, followed by heavy maces and sharp spears, I saw Zhao Xin and a team of people using maces as tools to open the way, slowly twisting like a huge grinding plate, leaving a blur of flesh and blood wherever they passed.

The screams and roars on the field kept filling the air, and after half an hour, except for the Tiance army with sharp blades and blood-stained robes, only the corpses that had already been cold and the wails everywhere remained. After the earth was repeatedly soaked in blood, it had turned red, and the rich smell of blood filled the air, making people feel disgusting at the same time, faintly having some bloodthirsty desires.

At this time, a person walked out of the woods in the distance, and when the Tiance army saw this, they quickly raised their weapons and looked at this person coldly, only to see that this person threw the weapon he was carrying on the ground, and shouted loudly to Chu Mofeng: "Your Royal Highness King Xian, I am Li Chuang." ”

Hearing that this person reported his name, Chu Mofeng immediately waved his hand and motioned for everyone to let him come over, Li Chuang walked up to Chu Mofeng and said to Chu Mofeng: "Your Royal Highness King Xian, fortunately the news was delivered in time, otherwise the little one really doesn't know what to do." ”

"Thanks, for taking such a big risk to deliver the message. Chu Mofeng took off his mask and nodded, and then said with a smile: "Since Li Jin's ambush plan failed this time, it is estimated that if you go back, he will not be able to spare you. ”

There was once a saying in the Tang Army: If you are fortunate enough to be appreciated by His Royal Highness King Xian, then you will say goodbye to your previous life, the poor will have enough food and clothing, and the single will have a group of wives and concubines. So much so that the entire Tang Dynasty subordinate to Li Shimin and the soldiers under Chu Mofeng were all honored to be appreciated by Chu Mofeng.

Who knew that after Li Chuang listened to Chu Mofeng's words, he slowly shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please forgive the small one for not accepting His Highness's good intentions, if the small one leaves, then the line of Youzhou carriage and horse travel will be abolished, and if there are other changes in Youzhou, no one will be able to spread the news in time." ”

Listening to Li Chuang's words, Chu Mofeng felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, it is precisely because there is always such a group of people walking on the edge of darkness in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, using their lives to pass on the news again and again, so that Chu Mofeng can always be one step ahead, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng said with some surprise: "If you go back like this, Li Ying will definitely have some doubts." ”

Then Chu Mofeng thought for a moment and said: "That's it, don't think about what you want to hurt yourself, I have a way for you to gain Li Jin's trust without getting hurt, but you need to be wronged at that time." ”

Seeing this, Li Chuang hurriedly knelt down to Chu Mofeng and said: "The life of the little one belongs to His Royal Highness, for the great cause of Your Highness and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, what is the small one who has been wronged a little." ”

Chu Mofeng smiled strangely when he heard this, and shouted to Zhao Xin in the distance: "Dip some blood and smear him, and then let's go to Youzhou." ”

Everyone walked for about two hours, slowly drove to the city of Youzhou, the soldiers defending the city saw a group of cavalry with swords and guns coming, and they had already reported to the governor's mansion quickly, and then the gate of Youzhou City was closed, and after a while, the figures of Li Ying and Wang Junkuo were revealed on the city wall.

I saw Wang Jun shouting loudly to the below: "Who is in the city? Why did you come to Youzhou City? If you don't explain the reason, you will definitely be killed on the spot." ”

"Chu Mofeng, the virtuous king of the Tang Dynasty, brought the flowers on the other side and the Tiance army to meet Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, the governor of Youzhou, and asked him to come out to talk. When Chu Mofeng heard this, he stepped on the stirrup with both feet, and the whole person stepped on the horseback, and the burning sky in his hand pointed directly at the head of the city and said: "Li Yuan, why don't you go out of the city to greet you? Do you want to be disobedient and make trouble?"

Hearing that it was Chu Mofeng under the city, Li Ying and Wang Junkuo immediately sat on the ground with their eyes straight, the ambush plan had already failed, if they didn't open the door at this time, they would inevitably be accused of disobedience by Chu Mofeng......

As the saying goes, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, and look at Chu Mofeng's Youzhou City to oppress people, and then look at the other side of the Huadu Governor's Mansion to slash the enemy, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
