Lingbao County, Song Biejia Mansion.

Song Biejia hurriedly walked towards the backyard, when he saw his wife carrying a table.The two looked at each other, and both saw fear and anxiety in each other's eyes.

Song Biejia nodded slightly towards her, took a step forward, and knocked on the closed door: "Lian'er, you are here for your father."

"Please come in." Song Lian's cold voice came from inside.

Song Biejia pushed open the door and closed it immediately, then bowed and said in a low voice: "Master."

Song Lian raised his head, his momentum suddenly changed, he looked at Song Biejia: "Is everything done?"

"Follow the master's order, and everything has been done." Song Biejia said, "In a day, the people of Lingbao County will know that the prefect Lu conspired to murder Lu Ping because of his illegitimate daughter and son who lived abroad. Yu Xin died in office, so I had no choice but to ask His Majesty to hand over the position of prefect to me temporarily."

Song Lian nodded: "Well done, the prince and his party must be arriving at Sanmenxia soon."

"This--" Song Biejia hesitated, "The subordinates discovered that the people of King Zichuan were purchasing food in the villages near Lingbao County. After investigation, they found that they had already set up a road on the only way from Lingbao County to Sanmenxia County. Ambush..."

"Idiot," Song Lian suddenly scolded, "his elder brother Liu Xian is an idiot. Back then, he went to fight Wu Wang Liu Bi to fight against the emperor. He was defeated and died. I didn't expect that Liu Zhi was also an idiot. He arrested the prince and his party in Sanmenxia What are you going to do? Kill? Or detain? Really stupid!"

"Master, calm down," Song Biejia hurriedly said, "Liu Zhi is an idiot, wouldn't it be more beneficial for the master?"

"Indeed!" said Song Lian with a smile, "the more stupid he is, the happier I am. Tell me, when the prince and princess are in trouble, I suddenly come to rescue the hero, will they be very moved by me? convince?"

Song Biejia hurriedly said: "Of course they will. In Lingbao County, they rescued the puppy and used this as an excuse to get close. I think they will not be suspicious."

"Of course," Song Lian said with a smile, "I have to thank the two idiots Lan Lian and Zhang Wu. People always have more trust in the people they have favored."

"What the master said is true," Song Biejia hurriedly flattered, "By the way, master, how is the puppy's injury now? When can I see the puppy?"

"Song Lian is recuperating in our country of Chu. Thanks to him being able to report the letter this time, I originally wanted to help you win the position of prefect of Lingbao County, but I didn't want to bump into the prince and his party by mistake. Even better, then The crown prince is meddling in this case, so we can follow the trend and reveal some clues, thanks to the crown prince's hatred!" Song Lian smiled more happily, "The credibility is even higher now, Presumably, His Majesty, after reading the reports from the Prince and others, would also think that Lingbao County should let you be the prefect."

Song Biejia smiled apologetically: "It's all about the master's clever plan, and it's all about the master's great blessings. The subordinates are just bold enough to borrow some of the master's blessings. It's just the puppy's injury, when will it be..."

"Song Lian is now being taken care of by my mother, don't you feel relieved?" said Song Lian.

Song Biejia hastily expressed his loyalty: "Being able to be taken care of by the side concubine of Chu Wang is a blessing that can only be cultivated in several lifetimes. The subordinates are just afraid of adding trouble to the mistress."

Song Lian glanced at him, and said lightly: "There is no rush to heal the injury. When the injury is cured, I will meet you."

"Master is right, I am impatient." Song Biejia said cautiously.

"Call your wife, this face is a bit dry," Song Lian said, "Also, prepare all the dead soldiers you raised in Lingbao County. I will set off with your wife to Shangqiu County to pick you up later. Madame 'distant niece'."

Song Biejia is not an idiot, just thinking about it, he immediately guessed what he was going to do, he was shaken all over, and fell to the ground: "Master, I hope the master will see that my family has been hiding in Lingbao County for more than 15 years. For the sake of love, master, please leave me alone. Fate!"

He is the servant of the young master's mother. He was sent by the mistress to lurk in this Lingbao County 15 years ago. After the master grew up, he was ordered to obey the master with full authority.Although we used to communicate by letter in the past, we could only meet once a year.

But the viciousness of the master's actions made Song Biejia shudder.At this time, the master just wanted to take his wife to Shangqiu County.He immediately understood what the little master wanted to do: he took his wife to Shangqiu, just to relax the vigilance of the prince and princess.Shangqiu is very close to Suiyang, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, if the prince and concubine died in Shangqiu.There will inevitably be suspicion between Liang Wang and Jinshang.In this way... it will not be difficult for the little master to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

And if this strategy is to be done well, so that people can't find reasons to excuse Liang Guo at will, there must be a sufferer who can talk and think about it.The young master's idea is most likely to let his wife die as well, and become a bitter master to correct Liang Guo.

Although Song Biejia is loyal, he is also a normal person, and he is a normal person who understands selfishness.Compared with being the master dog, he wants to protect his wife, his lost son...

"I've made up my mind," said Song Lian with a smile, "Why does a man have no wife? Song Biejia, your wife is over 30 now, and there are so many young and beautiful people out there. If nothing else, my eldest sister will It was born like a flower and a jade. I use you as a wife now, and return you as a princess in the future. Isn’t it worthwhile?”

Song Biejia's heart fell into an ice cave for a moment, so he could only reluctantly say: "What the master said is true."

But when he turned around and went out, he saw the woman standing outside holding a food table.But he couldn't help the tears welling up in his eyes, and only whispered: "Madam, the master told you to go in."

"Okay," Mrs. Song said with a smile, "you go back and eat, I personally cooked your favorite soup for you..."

"Ma'am..." he said again, "Madam be careful, he will take you to Shangqiu, Madam be careful, if necessary, go and explain everything to the prince."

Mrs. Song was shaken all over, and she could barely hold her food. She understood her husband's kindness, but she still smiled palely: "Speak nonsense, what should I do if... Lian'er? Go back and eat , I have to go in."

Song Biejia wanted to say something else, but he could only resist watching his confidant who had been with him for so many years push open the tightly closed door, and walked in step by step, gradually being swallowed by darkness...

----

After discussing with Liu Che, Chen Ajiao decided to take a rest in Xiaozhou Village for a day. After sufficient supplies, she took advantage of the scorching sun at noon on the second day to quickly pass through the canyon and enter Sanmenxia County.

In Lingbao County, Song Lian and Mrs. Song were rushing towards the canyon with the strong and strong dead.

At this time, on the two main roads leading from Lingbao County to Sanmenxia, ​​there were three hundred archers lurking beside each other, waiting quietly, wanting to blow a mourning drum for the Great Han Dynasty...

In the canyon, there were occasional hawk cries, and the eagle spread its wings and flew straight towards the sky...

The carriage had been abandoned, and the four of them were all dressed up, riding horses, each carrying a large package on their backs, and entered Degu.

By the side of the valley, two big men, one inside the valley and the other outside the valley, bowed to the ground and listened.The tired man said: "It's here." The face of the man who had been recharging his energy for a long time was full of joy: "They are here!"

Then they got up and quickly reported to their masters.

So, these two groups of people started at the same time!

Chen Ajiao and her party, who didn't know that there were two vassal forces eyeing her, were still hurrying on their way.This canyon is sixteen miles long, and at the narrowest point, one can only dismount and lead the horse through slowly.It is no exaggeration to say that it is a ray of sky.But compared to another canyon where horse riding is almost impossible, the road conditions here are already very good.

The group of people increased their vigilance, let their horses go carefully, and finally reached the area where they had to slow down.

"Lang Jun and Madam be careful." After Zhou Bowen finished speaking, he jumped off his horse and took a small step towards the narrow area. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the sharp whistling sound of sharp arrows piercing through the air.

"Get out of the way!" Yan Qing yelled, but jumped off his horse and stood in front of Liu Che's horse, "Get back quickly..."

It was already too late, the arrows fell like rain.Liu Che and Chen Ajiao hid beside the horse. Fortunately, each of them carried a large package on their backs, which was barely a cover.It's just that those who can block are limited after all, they are now the turtles in the urn, in a dilemma.

But hiding like this is not a good way, there is no place to hide here at all.Zhou Bowen jumped up and drew out his saber, and shouted at Yan Qing: "Protect the master!"

He can't sit still and rush forward to kill him one by one!

The strong soldiers on the cliff have already stood up, drawing their bows and shooting arrows one by one, looking so arrogant!

Yan Qing also drew out his saber, and tried his best to block all the arrows.Naturally, Liu Che also has it.The two of them protected Chen Ajiao together and protected her from the rain of arrows.

It's just that manpower is exhausted.An oversight, Yan Qing couldn't help crying out in pain, his right arm was shot by an arrow, and Zhou Bowen, who risked his life to kill the enemy, finally climbed up the boulder in the canyon, but fell down because of too many arrows.What's more terrible is that the blood left by the wound turned black.Chen Ajiao picked up the arrow on the ground and took a closer look, but there was a faint blue light at the arrow: "The arrow is poisoned!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Che's eyes almost turned red.

Those archery sergeants abandoned their arrows and held their guns and ran down one by one.Now surrounded by sergeants, suddenly, it seems that there is no advantage at all!

Chen Ajiao bit the tip of her tongue, taking advantage of the severe pain to remind herself not to panic.God knows that this is the first time she has encountered such a scene in two lifetimes, and now her heart is beating like a drum, and the sweat is soaking through her clothes, and she has long been distraught.

"Stop!" She shouted, "Stop all of you!"

Those sergeants were taken aback by her drink, but then they came with guns.There is also a faint blue light on the tip of the gun, it is conceivable that it is still poisoned.

"We die here now, but we only have four lives," Chen Ajiao forcefully sneered, "Anyway, you and your whole family will be buried with us, but it's not a loss."

The sergeants were taken aback.

Seeing the drama, Chen Ajiao finally calmed down a bit: "You come to kill us, do you know who we are?"

"Prince Princess is notoriously eloquent," someone suddenly laughed, "These guys who speak in a few words are stunned. If you ask you to say something more, will they make them fight back?"

Chen Ajiao looked far away, but it was a young man wearing a mask.But that mask is not exquisite, it looks like it was just bought from the street market.She smiled: "General, do you really think this mask can hide your identity?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you lying to me?"

Chen Ajiao shook her head. At this moment, she could already see Zhou Bowen, who was seriously injured on the ground, slowly clutching his wound, and slowly leaning towards the masked man.She smiled more gently: "The general thinks I'm lying to you?"

"Otherwise? The princess might as well tell me my name." The masked man crossed his arms and smiled leisurely.

"I really can't tell you the name, but I have met you in Lingbao County." Chen Ajiao seemed to have a plan in mind, "The general is a bold person, why not make a bet with me."

"I never gamble with dying people." The masked man smiled.

"This bet has nothing to do with whether I die or not," Chen Ajiao said with a smile, "We just bet that after we die, all the soldiers and their nine clans in this canyon will die without a place to bury them, we just bet that after we die, the world will be in chaos , just bet that the name of the general will be remembered by thousands of people, well, it will be infamous for thousands of years!"

The man in the mask suddenly turned cold: "You are so brave!"

"It's your courage!" Chen Ajiao scolded coldly, "I want to kill the prince for my own selfishness, but I don't want the world to be the world of my Liu family. Now that Emperor Jing is alive, the treasury is abundant, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. People's livelihood, to better benefit the common people, he did not hesitate to risk the white dragon fish suit, and even for an unjust case, he was afraid that he would kill a good person by mistake, so he did not hesitate to be exposed to your eyes. And rub your chest and ask yourself, if the prince dies, is he a prince again? The vassals competed for the throne. For their own selfishness, the common people should suffer from being displaced again. If there is a spirit in this day, guess whether it will let you suffer this endless pain before the common people! If the earth has a heart , do you think your bloodline will be passed on after a hundred years? Today, each of you bears the unjust fate of a prince or concubine. What you bear is the future pain of your own family members!"

She spoke quickly and clearly, and some sergeants couldn't help but take a step back when she said it bluntly.

Seeing this scene, the masked man couldn't care less about appreciating their struggles before their frequent deaths.Busily ordered: "Kill them for me... Ah!"

Pointing at his throat was a blue arrowhead.The man holding the arrow grabbed him tightly with blood all over his body: "Whoever dares to move, I will kill him!"

The sergeants didn't dare to move anymore.

Liu Che helped Yan Qing, who had started to feel dizzy, to sit aside, while he climbed up with great effort, replacing Zhou Bowen who was holding on.

"For the common people, is it really that important who is the emperor?" She asked them, and she also asked herself, "Is this supreme honor really so happy? Every time the dynasty changes, it will be a catastrophe. No matter who wins, it will be a disaster."

If possible, I only hope that there will never be gunpowder in this world.

The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road.Looking at the western capital, I feel hesitant and sad, where the Qin and Han scriptures traveled, all the palaces and palaces have been made of earth.Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.

Back then, out of personal grievances, she would rather choose Liu Fa and other princes than Liu Che as emperor.But thinking about it now, this is just a position, and it is also a position that can affect the general trend of the world.There is the most suitable person to sit, why settle for it?Although it is difficult to understand, her world is not limited to the square inch of the palace.

Chen Ajiao looked at these soldiers holding guns and staring at them covetously, and sighed: "If the present is unkind, the crown prince is unwise, and the virtuous lord has come out, you can kill him as long as you want. But I just want to ask, among the princes of the world, who can be the same?" How many kings are there today? Is the one you are loyal to really better than today? You must have been to Weinan and seen Lingbao County. These are all counties under the rule of today. They are really not as good as Is it a county in your vassal state?"

As soon as this remark came out, some soldiers threw away their guns: "I won't kill, I'll be a deserter at worst. If it weren't for being too poor, I wouldn't even want to join the army. If my family can compare with half of Shanglingbao County alright."

As soon as this remark came out, people's hearts fluttered.

The masked man sighed: "It's my fault. I know that the princess is eloquent, but I want to hear what else you can say when you are about to die. If you were killed early, how could you get to this point? Bewitching words to confuse people, monster words to confuse people!" !"

"Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister. Brother, if you want to come to Lingbao County with your family, I can guarantee you in the name of the princess, this place will definitely give you a place to live." Chen Ajiao Ignoring the masked man, he only took advantage of the victory to pursue him.

As soon as this remark came out, it really caused a stir.

But Chen Ajiao didn't dare to relax at all: Zhou Bowen and Yan Qing were already poisoned, only she and Liu Che could move.But there are no less than a hundred pursuers here.Moreover, she didn't believe that this was the only place where there were pursuers. There were two main roads in the canyon from Lingbao County to Sanmenxia.And they just decided to go this way this morning.In other words, to be on the safe side, there must be ambushes on the other road.Although the other one is not close to here, it is not too far away. There must be a way for the two groups of people to communicate with each other.Looking at it this way, the situation is still very critical!

During the stalemate, someone suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there seems to be something going on ahead, please wait with Madam first, let's go forward and check."

someone is coming!

And judging by his tone, he might be passing by.

Chen Ajiao was overjoyed at first, and then frowned: If the passers-by had no power to protect themselves, wouldn't their situation be even worse?After all, if innocent passers-by pass through this important road, if they are kidnapped, they are all big men and citizens, so can they not be rescued?

The masked man obviously thought of this, and there was some joy in his voice: "I heard that if God thinks that a person's popularity is about to run out, even if he tries his best to turn the tide, it will be difficult. Now the Crown Princess is trying her best to turn the tide, and her words calm me down. Wait, it's a pity that the heavens thought it shouldn't be like this, so they sent it down..."

Suddenly someone shouted and interrupted the masked man: "Madam Chen!"

Chen Ajiao took a closer look, but there were two big men, very strong, but she had never seen them before.

"You are?" She was a little puzzled.

"I'm the servant of Song Biejia's mansion!" The man smiled, "Madam Chen, what a coincidence, my wife happened to be passing by Mr. Xiaolang, but I didn't want to see my wife just in time. Huh... What's wrong? What's wrong?" So many with long guns. Kind of scary."

Although Chen Ajiao felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his words, she didn't think too much, she just urged: "Quickly, tell Mrs. Song and her party to leave here quickly, and turn back quickly."

"The benefactor seems to be in trouble?" Song Lian, dressed in a white scholar's attire, was led over by a burly man, "We have brought over 30 servants, all of whom are capable. I wonder if we can help."

Chen Ajiao was overjoyed, she never expected that this person could be a helper: "It's very helpful, please ask Mr. Song to help me carry Yan Qing away, he is poisoned."

Song Lian hurriedly asked what was going on, but Chen Ajiao didn't bother to go into details, and only talked about it later.He also asked someone to carry Yan Qing away.

After the two poisoned people were carried away, Chen Ajiao relaxed all over, and the smile on her face relaxed: "Brother who put down his weapon, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in that country."

The sergeants were startled, and some secretly wanted to pick up the spears.One of the smart ones immediately knelt down on his knees: "Prince Princess, save me! I am willing to do my best for the Crown Prince and Princess, and I only ask the Crown Princess to save me and my family."

The rest immediately knelt down and begged Chen Ajiao for help.Chen Ajiao saw that although there were not many people who knelt down, there were five or sixty people.

"I can't control the matter, you'd better ask the prince." Chen Ajiao immediately said.Nonsense, these people are not very important, and on the bright side, it is best to leave the work of being human to this narrow-minded and suspicious Liu Che, so as to avoid unnecessary suspicion.This is the way to be wise and protect yourself.

These sergeants followed suit and immediately knelt in the direction of Liu Che.

Liu Che still pointed the poisoned arrow at the masked man. Seeing these people kneeling down, he said, "You are the subjects of my big man. If you are loyal, you can be my Jinwu guard in the future."

These sergeants couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly thanked them.

The Jinwu Guard who is the prince...

This time, the sergeants who hadn't thrown their weapons before couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly knelt down one by one.Just begging to be taken in, Chen Ajiao looked carefully, and there were only more than 20 people who did not kneel down, and only looked at the masked man helplessly.

The masked man sighed, "It's all my fault."

When a cat catches a mouse, it always likes to tease it for a while, and after admiring the mouse's struggle and panic, it will slowly kill it.When people with low status finally have the opportunity to kill someone with higher status than themselves, they can't help showing off.The masked man was no exception, but he thought he could appreciate the ugly state of the prince and princess crying and begging for mercy, but he didn't expect that the prince and princess could turn the situation around under such circumstances!

Song Lian's eyes were already wide open at this time, and he swallowed hard for a long time: "Mrs. Chen... Madam, Crown Princess!?"

Chen Ajiao glanced at him: "I will explain to you in detail later."

Song Lian still looked surprised, covered his mouth with his hands, and calmed down after a while: "Does the princess need me to do anything?"

However, Chen Ajiao said to the surrendered soldiers: "Now tell me, who ordered you to come here, and what evidence is on you!"

This is the time to cast a certificate, and the confidants of the more than 20 masked men saw something bad, so they wanted to run away.At this time, the first uneasy people who made them escape were these sergeants who had surrendered to the prince.So they were heartbroken, jumped up and grabbed those soldiers who wanted to escape, and tied them tightly.Fang knelt down again and said, "We are all from the Zichuan Kingdom. This masked man is the general of the Zichuan Kingdom. He went to Chang'an with the King of Zichuan in the past and met the prince and princess. .”

Another one bravely stepped forward and took out a token of the General of Zichuan Kingdom from the pocket of the road, and presented it to Chen Ajiao.

Now, Chen Ajiao felt relieved.She ordered people to tie up the more than 20 sergeants and hide them, and asked the strong men led by Song Lian to tie up the road cuttings and send them out of the valley.Song Lian led the people away, and the only ones left were Chen Ajiao, Liu Che and more than 200 sergeants who had just surrendered.

"Sister Gillian," Liu Che Fang came over at this time, "What should we do?"

Chen Ajiao casually pointed to a sergeant: "What's your name?"

"Little Dong Wu." The sergeant said hurriedly.

"Go and tell your people who are ambushing on the other road, just say that the prince and princess have been captured, and General Luzhu invited them to come over to discuss matters." Chen Ajiao said.

The sergeant trembled all over, but finally agreed and left in a hurry.

Chen Ajiao then said to Liu Che: "I don't think they can know in advance which road we will take. The safest way is to set up ambushes on both roads. You go and change your clothes first, and the people on the other side will come later." When you come, you hold me hostage, say that I am the princess, that General Luchao and the others are having a drink to celebrate. Then you lead people to rush up and tie them up tightly while they are not prepared!"

"Sister Gillian, why don't you tie me up..." Liu Che said anxiously, ignoring the sergeants who had just surrendered, and said, "The sergeant just surrendered, who knows if he will do anything fake. These I can't even rely on it, just in case..."

Chen Ajiao reached out her hand to stop his unfinished words, and raised her voice: "Now, they have to rely on us."

Liu Che was startled, but saw Chen Ajiao blinking at him, so he asked in cooperation, "Why?"

"Luzhu and his confidantes have already been bound by them. If they turn against the water again, I'm afraid they will be retaliated by General Luzhu. Therefore, the only way out is to follow the prince closely. After all, there may be a day when they will become famous .” She raised her voice.Then I found some people who were hesitant at first, their eyes finally became firm, "And, they can't let go of any sergeant on the opposite side, let alone let Luzhuo and his confidants. Because, as long as one is let go, those who remember Once the sergeant who knows who they are, returns to Zichuan, they will retaliate tenfold and a hundredfold against their families."

Liu Che understood, and raised his voice: "That's right, compared to us now, these sergeants who surrendered are the ones who are most afraid of the escape of other Zichuan soldiers! After all, if they followed me, they might still be able to stand out, and then If it is reversed, no one will dare to use them anymore."

"That's why I asked people to lure all the sergeants on the opposite side and let them arrest them with their own hands," Chen Ajiao said, "After all, if you surrender, you have to submit a certificate of surrender."

"That's right, I also want to see who can be of great use!" Liu Che responded with a raised voice.
