I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Both Wang Hongfu and Ashina Liang were a little tipsy, and then they went to rest.

The nights in the northwest are cold, but fortunately we are well equipped, the tent is windproof, and we have cotton quilts and bedding, so the nights are not that cold.

As soon as it got light the next day, the team set out to continue their journey.

At this time in Wang Wencheng's manor, Wang Wencheng was waiting anxiously.

The person has been out for two days, and there is still no news.

Could it be that these people have left Xizhou Prefecture, or are hiding somewhere and dare not come out?

"Husband, I have almost finished packing. When will Yan'er and Yihong be back?"

At this time, Wang Wencheng's wife came over.

In the past two days, they packed up all their previous belongings, and the rest were some supplies needed for the long journey.

The journey to the Western Regions is long, and they have to try their best to show up in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so they carry a lot of things for the journey.

“Don’t worry, ma’am. I’ve already sent someone to notify Dalang and Erlang. They should be back soon.

You should leave in the evening and don't be discovered if Dalang and Erlang don't come back.

Just go to the border and wait.

Remember what your husband said, if you can’t wait for us in half a month, you should go to Yanqi first.”

Wang Wencheng said while holding his wife's hand.

He didn't tell his wife, and he didn't even notify his eldest and second sons to come back.

Wang Wencheng knew that if they were discovered, they would only end up dead.

His eldest and second sons were involved in many of his affairs, and he also heard what both sons did.

Prince Ji is a vengeful person. Even if they escape from the Tang Dynasty, Prince Ji will send people to kill them.

So he left behind his eldest son, his second son, and himself as the three of them. He wanted to use these three lives to appease King Ji's anger.

None of his three, four, or five sons got involved in his affairs.

He hoped that King Ji would forgive his other family members.

Wang Wencheng is indeed a decisive person in this respect.

Time soon came to evening, and many carriages were parked in front of Wang Wencheng's manor.

At this time, Wang Wencheng was also saying goodbye to his family.

“My lady, please be careful along the way and try not to show up in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

When you go to Yanqi, don't tell others where you are going. The more people who know, the better. "

Wang Wencheng stood in front of his family and gave instructions.

"My dear, you must come to find us. I am waiting for you at the border."

Wang Wencheng's wife's face was full of tears. She knew that this farewell might be the last.

At this moment, she no longer said those hindsight words such as "If she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first place", but just told Wang Wencheng to come and find them.

Wang Wencheng also nodded repeatedly, his face full of reluctance. He has a good relationship with his wife.

After we say goodbye today, I'm afraid we'll never meet again.

Calming his mind, Wang Wencheng looked at the other people again. Among them were his concubine, son, and two daughters.

“Listen carefully, you all must obey my wife along the way.

You guys have to study hard and start learning to read and write all over again when you go to the Western Regions, but you also have to read my Tang Dynasty books.

There is thousands of years of wisdom contained here, which cannot be compared with those barbarians.

Do you remember all of them?"

Looking at his children, Wang Wencheng teaches them seriously.

"Follow my father's teachings."

Several children saluted.

"Well, it's getting late, you should set off.

Ah Gui, I'll leave the ladies to you, you must take good care of them."

Wang Wencheng looked at the sky.

"Master, rest assured. Agui will definitely protect the mistress and the others."

A sturdy man in his thirties saluted.

He was Wang Wencheng's confidant, and Wang Wencheng saved his life.

Wang Wencheng's family members began to board the carriage. Although Wang Wencheng was doing evil things and amassing wealth,

But Wang Wencheng really did not bully men or women.

The concubines were all brought from home. You should know that Gaochang is a place full of beautiful women.

Everything was ready, and finally Wang Wencheng's wife got on the carriage, and Wang Wencheng waved his hand.

The carriage began to move forward slowly.

"Boom~~~~~"

At this moment, a roar came from the distance, like thunder in the sky, or like thousands of horses galloping.

From far away, it soon came into sight.

It was quite dark and all I could see were a sea of ​​dark figures.

The team that was leaving at this moment also stopped, at a loss as to what to do with the sudden change.

"Get out of the car quickly and go back to the backyard and don't come out."

Wang Wencheng acted decisively and immediately asked his family to get out of the car and enter the manor.

He didn't even care about the carriages loaded with valuables.

After the family entered the manor, the figures in the distance were almost approaching. They were all cavalry, but they did not look like the cavalry from the Tang Dynasty.

The remaining guards of the top scholar followed Wang Wencheng and stood in front of the gate.

When the cavalry arrived, they separated to the left and right and surrounded the manor.

Several horses came forward and stopped in front of Wang Wencheng.

Wang Wencheng took a closer look, his heart trembled, and his expression changed drastically. He saw Wang Hongfu.

The person who came this time turned out to be his cousin, Wang Hongfu, the chief treasurer of Prince Ji's Mansion.

"What's wrong? After not seeing you for a year, do you feel a little unfamiliar?"

Wang Hongfu said with a smile on his face as he looked at the dazed Wang Wencheng.

"Oh, nice to meet you, cousin. It turns out that you are here without informing me in advance. I will go pick you up in person."

Wang Wencheng woke up from his daze and put on a smiling face.

"Cousin? You are really my good cousin. Because of you, my family was almost destroyed, and you even sent people to kill me.

I cannot recognize you as my cousin."

Wang Hongfu's face turned into a sneer.

He was filled with anger when he thought about how he almost died in Xizhou.

My family was almost destroyed because of him.

Wang Wencheng looked confused:

"Cousin, what do you mean by that? I don't understand why.

Is there any misunderstanding with my cousin?"

"Hahahaha, Wang Wencheng, you really are a character. Even now, you can still remain so calm.

Why didn't I see that you had such ability at the beginning?

Bring people up. "

Wang Hongfu was so angry that he laughed. Even at this time, Wang Wencheng was still pretending that he knew nothing.

And the acting is just like the real thing.

Following Wang Hongfu's order, Ashina Liang waved his hand.

Two soldiers came over escorting Zhang Biao.

"Wang Wencheng, look at him, what else do you have to say?"

Wang Hongfu pointed at Zhang Biao.

"Who is this cousin? I don't know him."

Wang Wencheng continued to play dumb.

"Wang Wencheng, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. Do you think I came here to confront you?

To tell you the truth, I came here just to take you back to question you."

Wang Hongfu didn't want to talk to Wang Wencheng anymore.

The investigation results that Prince Ji gave him were enough to kill Wang Wencheng several times, but he needed to capture Wang Wencheng and have him punished personally by Prince Ji.
