Eunuch Zhou was very cautious. His expression changed drastically when he saw it. He was worried that the two young eunuchs outside the door would notice something strange, so he hurriedly moved sideways to block it.

After coming back to his senses, he quickly wrote the beginning and end, then dried the ink, closed the fold and handed it to Eunuch Zhou, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I'd like to forward the memorial to the emperor. We are about to leave immediately, and we don't have time to enter the palace to meet the emperor."

Since he did not avoid Eunuch Zhou when he wrote it, Eunuch Zhou had already seen what he wrote in the memorial. Hearing what he said, he quickly took the memorial with both hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will present it to the emperor as soon as the Za family returns to the palace."

He didn't say anything more to Eunuch Zhou. He turned sideways and raised his hand, asking Eunuch Zhou to go ahead. At the same time, he shouted out who was coming.

Hearing the call, Datou, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly walked to the door and answered, "Sir?"

"Reward." He said casually.

At this time, it has become a common practice to reward eunuchs who deliver orders. According to the rules, Eunuch Zhou did not refuse. He calmly accepted the twenty taels of silver and returned to the palace with the two young eunuchs.

After writing a note to the emperor, he no longer had any worries. With a reasonable excuse, he no longer had to hide his whereabouts. After simply packing up, the three of them and four rode out of the city quickly and headed westward.

The reason why he brought an extra horse was not to keep it as a spare, but to carry the big iron stick of Batulu. Yang Shouxin had 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, so the five of them went deep alone.

It is true that soldiers are in danger and trying to catch chestnuts from the fire. If Batulu has not been killed, he can break out of the encirclement with the others with the iron rod after being rescued.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the three of them met up with Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming who were waiting by the roadside. Yu Yi and Datou were familiar with Qinzhou, so they rode their horses ahead to lead the way.

The four of them all knew that this trip was very dangerous. No matter whether the owner of the iron rod was killed or not, everyone would inevitably clash with Qingyang's soldiers and horses. The four of them were not afraid, but it was inevitable that the enemy would be nervous at the moment.

The four people looked solemn, and their brows were furrowed. In addition to worrying about Batulu's safety, they were also worried about the emperor's previous decree. The emperor's reward for him not kneeling before you was not a reward or an honor, but he was worried about accepting it.

If he kneels down and worships, he will be punished by the gods.

When the emperor secretly summoned him for the first time that day, he once asked him why there were so many thunders falling from the sky when he was in Wangjiakuang. In other words, the emperor suspected that he was a person born in the sky at that time, and now he has

Si Ming Xingjun came into the dream, blaming the emperor for blaspheming the gods and disturbing the dignity. If the person who entrusted the dream to the emperor was really Si Mingxing Jun, then this old immortal was in great trouble. After this incident, the emperor would confirm that he is from heaven.

The gods come to the world, and they will have a deep fear of him, especially the saying that confusion of dignity is the most fatal. The emperor is the 95th noble, and he is even more noble than the emperor. Doesn't that mean he is superior to the emperor?

Above?

At this time, the sun has set, and the cold night wind has gradually blown away the worries and irritations in my heart. Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in worrying and getting angry. No matter what the emperor thinks, all he can do is to be loyal and filial and serve the country with loyalty.

, no matter what he does, he tries not to give the emperor a chance to be suspicious. As for the final result, he doesn't know and can't control it.

The horses the five of them rode were all wild horses, which had great endurance. In addition, the temperature was low and the horses' body temperature rose slowly, which also allowed them to run for a long time. By the second watch, everyone was already four hundred miles away.

Not far ahead is a county town, and there is also a post station outside the city.

When we got here, we checked the remaining distance with Yu Yi and Da Tou. According to their estimation, there was still about 1,100 miles left.

At this time, the horses everyone was riding were already a little tired. They were faced with the choice of changing horses and continuing on the road, or taking a break and starting again tomorrow. After calculating the remaining distance and time required, they decided to rest one night first and set off early tomorrow.

.

Everyone carried a small amount of dry food with them. In order to ensure that no news leaked out, they did not stay in the county town or disturb the inn. Instead, they found a shabby house next to the official road to rest.

Everyone was worried and no one said anything. Each of the four people watched the fire for half an hour, and at dawn the five of them continued their journey.

By noon, everyone had arrived at the border of Qinzhou, which was only five hundred miles away from Qingyang.

Five hundred miles was still an awkward distance. After a short rest, everyone changed their route to the northwest and traveled another three hundred miles. This place was called Fuyang, which was less than two hundred miles away from Qingyang.

Even though they were riding Hu horses, they were very tired from the long-distance attack. Seeing the county town ahead, they went to the city with Datou and others to find an inn to stay. They called the waiter, threw out some silver, and ordered him to eat rice porridge.

These horses are carefully fed with the best fodder.

Then he wrote down two more prescriptions, and ordered Datou and Yang Kai to go get them. One of the two prescriptions was a prescription for golden sores to stop bleeding, and the other was a prescription for strengthening muscles and bones, and improving the spirit. The first one was prepared for people.

, and the latter one is for these horses.

His plan is to buy six more horses from here. As long as they are strong horses, they can run two hundred miles without difficulty. The six horses he bought when he arrived at the enemy's camp will be useless. There must be more horses in the camp.

If there is a war horse, you can snatch the enemy's war horse and then ride the enemy's war horse to break through.

Even if we successfully rescue Batu if we go to Qingyang,

Lu, the enemy will definitely pursue and intercept them, so these horses will be left here for backup. When everyone comes here riding the stolen war horses, these horses that have taken the medicine have recovered their physical strength, and then everyone on our side will

You can change your horse immediately and continue eastward to get rid of the pursuers behind you.

Datou and Yang Kai went to grab medicine, Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming went to buy horses, and stayed at the inn to rest with their eyes closed. He was the commander and needed to make plans and control the overall situation.

There are two ways to save people this time, one is a secret robbery, and the other is an open robbery. The so-called secret robbery is to try not to alert the enemy, try to find Batulu and rescue him quietly. The open robbery, as the name suggests, is to kill directly and openly.

Go in and rob someone.

Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of secret robbery is that it is relatively safe, but the disadvantage is that it is very troublesome because he does not know where Batulu is. It is difficult to find and rescue Batulu without alerting the other party.

It's huge and very cumbersome.

There are advantages and disadvantages to attacking openly. The advantage is that you can directly rush in and capture Yang Shouxin. As long as you capture the enemy's commander, no matter how many troops the enemy has, they will not dare to act rashly. The disadvantage is that you will directly break up with Yang Shouxin, and you will be able to rescue Ba by then.

Tulu and Yang Shouxin will also rebel immediately.

After pondering quietly and thinking carefully, he decided to choose the latter and attack Yang Shouxin directly. Firstly, it was much easier to find Yang Shouxin than to find Batulu. Secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to capture the 50,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Shouxin. Qing

Yang Ke was an important town guarding the chokepoint. Capturing these 50,000 soldiers and horses was like a timely rain and life-saving food for the imperial court.

After making up my mind, I began to ponder and weigh again and again. The path of secret robbery really didn't work. During the entire process of rescuing people, my identity might be exposed at any time. Once my whereabouts were exposed, it would be a disaster for both ends. It would be better to

From the very beginning, he attacked Yang Shouxin directly.

This was the only place to pass when traveling from Mobei to the south. There were many traders selling horses. It didn't take long for Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming to drive back six healthy horses.

When Datou and Yang Kai came back, he ordered Datou to personally feed the medicine powder that strengthened the muscles and bones to the six wild horses that everyone rode, and then drove the horses out of the inn.

There is a city wall around this county town. Once the city gate is closed at night, you cannot change horses. You have to leave these wild horses in a hidden place outside the city. When the horses come, you can change horses directly.

He found a sheltered place to place these wild horses, and waited for others to ride on the purchased horses and go straight to Qingyang. He also knew the time to start, and set it around 1:30. By that time, it was already dark, so he could

Hidden body, and the enemy's vigilance will not be very high. If it is midnight, Yang Shouxin and others may notice the slightest noise.

due to the passage of time

After detailed calculations, the five people arrived at Qingyang calmly during the first watch. The situation in Qingyang was slightly different from what was previously imagined. The area where the army was stationed was not a remote place far away from the crowd, but a flat area on the east side of Qingyang.

.

Although Qingyang is a county under Qinzhou, its scale is much larger than ordinary county towns. At this time, the counties of Tang Dynasty can be divided into Shangjun, Zhongjun and Xiajun based on their size and population. Qingyang undoubtedly belongs to Shangjun.

Everyone dismounted from the forest in the southeast of Qingyang, and it was only then that they told the four of them their specific plans.

For the idea, Datou and others all support it. They are not simply following orders, but they also thought about how to start after arriving. At present, the plan mentioned is undoubtedly the most feasible one.

Set of plans.

When the army is marching and fighting, the general will live in the central army tent. On weekdays, the general will live in the city. It is very simple to confirm this. You only need to arrest a captain and interrogate him.

The task of arresting people was given to Datou and Shi Xuanming. Shi Xuanming took back a school lieutenant within half a stick of incense. Shi Xuanming was proficient in many Shaolin stunts, including acupoint sealing and acupuncture.

The prisoner was taken to a distant place, and as soon as the mute point was untied, the captain begged for mercy, "Don't do it, don't do it. If you have something to say, it's easy to say it."

Seeing that this man was so greedy for life and afraid of death even though he was a captain, I felt disgusted and full of contempt.

Yu Yiben was the head catcher of Dali Temple and was good at interrogation. Before he could speak, he asked in a deep voice, "Is Yang Shouxin in the camp?"

Shi Xuanming only unlocked the man's mute point, and the captain had only one head to turn. At this time, he was shaking like a rattle, "No, no, the commander-in-chief and several generals are not in the army."

After the captain finished speaking, seeing that no one asked any more questions immediately, he hurriedly asked cautiously, "Excuse me, how many of you are the heroes of the Beggar Clan?"

"Why do you ask this?" Yu Yi asked coldly.

"Didn't the imperial court appoint the heroes of the Beggar Gang to hunt down Eunuch Yang?" the school captain said with a trembling voice.

Yu Yi heard the hidden meaning of this man's words, frowned and asked, "Is Yang Fugong in the city?"

"Yes, yes," the captain nodded repeatedly, "when Eunuch Yang and his party came to the city a few days ago, I was on duty."

Hearing the captain's words, everyone looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Yang Fugong was really in Qingyang.

"A month ago you captured an unusually tall and strong man..."
