Chapter 11 The wind and grass startle the snake

(9,000 votes, add one update first, and two new league leaders, thanks to the support of the brothers such as Ye Ye Damage, the bamboo in the wind, the river and the river, Bohu Nevsky, Yi Jian Piaohong...)

At first, Xu Huai didn't notice the two assassins disguised themselves in the team. Until he heard the disturbance of the team, he said that they were the two men who were traveling with the front of the Yang family. Suddenly, he turned into a fork road and left without saying a word. He looked at the figure that was galloping deep in the distant forest in fear.

"Stop!"

Tang Wenbiao is from the Gu clan, but he is a branch of alienated relationships. When he was young, he followed his family as an ordinary friend. To be able to stand alone at this age, he is definitely not completely older than others.

He narrowed his old eyes and stared at the two people leaving Juechen, frowned like a mountain, and waved his hand to signal the camel and horse caravan to stop moving forward.

The horse thief pretended to be a business trip and approached the merchant team for investigation. This was to step on the plate, and it was not new in Tongbai Mountain.

Two businessmen with foreign accents said early in the morning that they followed him to Biyang. At this time, they had only been more than twenty miles from Huaiyuan Military Village. They suddenly left the fork without saying a word. If Tang Biao was careless and thought nothing was wrong, then he would not know how many times he had died on this road in the past few years.

What's more, there were horse thieves appearing near the Eagle's mouth yesterday!

After Tang Biao stopped the caravan, he did not hesitate for long, so he decided to turn around and return to Huaiyuan first, and did not think about sending people to explore the way forward.

Only eight armed guards were accompanied this time, and Xu Xin'an, who represented the inspection department and escorted Wang Bing to Biyang.

If there is no danger ahead, it will be fine. If there is a large group of thieves and bandits ambushing the front and sending two or three people to explore the way, wouldn’t it be a delivery?

Now I will return to Huaiyuan. This batch of medicinal materials will be sent to Biyang three or five days later, and nothing will go wrong.

If he crashed into the ambush of a large group of thieves, Tang Wenbiao would not be able to bear this responsibility even if he was not afraid of death.

Xu Huaibo had no excuse to return to Huaiyuan, but he did not expect that the assassin would sneak into the caravan.

"Is it yesterday's assassin?" Xu Huaile stopped his horse and leaned towards Lu Xiong, asking in a low voice with some uncertainty.

Lu Xiong sat in the front of the car all the way, his eyes were blocked by the carriage, and he had no chance to meet the two of them.

However, the appearance can be concealed, and the backs of these two people who rushed to escape into the woods were difficult to disguise.

Lu Xiong frowned and nodded, but he was as puzzled as Xu Huai. Why did these two assassins leave suddenly?

"What's going on?" Wang Bing asked with a pale face and opened the curtain of the car.

"Two assassins followed us in disguise, but they suddenly turned into a fork and left. I don't know what happened - there might be an ambush on the road ahead," Lu Xiong whispered to Wang Bing, "We are going to turn back to Huaiyuan Town with the caravan now!"

Wang Bing was not afraid of death, but he could not insist on pulling Lu Xiong, Xu Huai and another junior surnamed Xu to the dangerous road. He sighed miserably, without saying anything, put down the curtain of the car and sat back in the car.

Xu Huai jumped off his horse and helped Lu Xiong turn the carriage in the narrow mountain road. One morning, Wang Xuan, a girl who was hiding in the carriage, then her little face stuck out of the curtain and looked back uneasily.

The caravans were all turned back, and Xu Xin'an could not say recklessly that they would continue to move forward...

…………

…………

After some trouble, Xu Huai, Xu Xin'an and Lu Xiong escorted Wang Bing back to Huaiyuan Military Village. It was already afternoon, and the inspector Deng Gui led the patrol soldiers to come back from outside.

The inspector Deng Gui was also embarrassed.

Generally speaking, if you come out to inspect the military camp, you will not be able to get off for three or five days.

Deng Gui left at noon yesterday and returned to the military camp just one day later. Isn’t this clear that he intended to avoid Wang Bing yesterday?

"...These horse thieves are too rampant. They step on the plate and step on my Tang family's head!"

The caravan was still parked at the ferry and did not return to the warehouse in Dongshou, Hedong Street Market. Tang Wenbiao stopped Deng Gui's indignant complaints.

Xu Wujiang and Tang Tiande, who represented Tang in the inspection department, rushed over after hearing the news.

Xu Huai was not considered a formal military servant in the inspection department, so he stood aside with his horse. He looked at Deng Gui from a distance and looked not particularly angry. He was more hesitant and suspicious, and he was even more certain that he had decided yesterday that Wang Bing had met a bandit.

The assassin refused to give up, and Wang Bing had to retreat to the Huaiyuan Military Village under his rule. This is called how could Deng Gui, who wanted to be sloppy and stayed out of the matter?

"The horse thief is watching the left and right, and the bandits on the road are uneasy. For the safety of the old husband Wang, you need to stay in the military camp to observe the situation. Deng immediately sent someone to Biyang to report to the governor Chen Langjun, and ask Chen Langjun to determine everything!"

Deng Gui's face was gloomy and sunny for a while, and walked over to talk to Wang Bing who was in the weak car.

In the current situation, he either temporarily kept Wang Bing in the military camp of Huaiyuan and sent someone to Biyang City to report to the prefect Chen Shi, or personally led his troops to safely escort Wang Bing to Biyang.

Otherwise, even though he knew that the horse thief had appeared many times, he was still sitting there and watching Wang Bing "campire" being victimized on the way, he must be the "scapegoat" that would be pushed out to take over the main guilt.

Wang Bing is now deprived of all his official positions, but it would be too stupid to regard him as a white civilian and think that he would not have any trouble in the court even if he died when a bandit was killed.

"Everything is followed by the arrangements of Langjun Deng." Wang Bing knew that Deng Gui would not let him go easily, and he could only follow his arrangements with officials in Tangzhou in the future.

Xu Huai was not secretly proud because Wang Bing was forced to stay in Huaiyuan Military Village at this time. He was still confused in his heart that the two assassins had mixed into the caravan, so why did he escape halfway like a frightened bird?

Deng Gui seemed to notice that Wang Bing was pale and asked with concern: "Mr. Wang's face is not good. Is he feeling unwell?"

"It's just a little cold and stomach discomfort, it's not a problem," said Wang Bing.

"Xu Xin'an, go to the street market to find a doctor to come and diagnose Wang Xianggong's illness." Seeing that Deng Gui couldn't get rid of this, he was also quick to do things. He first ordered Xu Xin'an to cross the river to find the doctor, and then said sternly to Xu Huai with threats, "Xu Huai, Wang Xianggong stays in the military camp, you should serve him and not be lazy at all; otherwise, I will carefully cut off your stupid guy-"

"Yes." Xu Huai replied in an inward voice.

Xu Huai is not yet old, but since he has secretly taken military salaries from the inspection department, Deng Gui has ignored him in the past, but he cannot really think that he is unaware of it.

However, what does Deng Gui meant to just throw him, a clumsy "silly guy" to Wang Bing to take care of him?

This means that he has fulfilled his duties as an inspector and strengthened his protection for Wang Bing, but his protection for Wang Bing is limited. If the assassin refuses to give up, would he still have a chance to kill him if he wants to kill him?

At that time, the assassin will kill Wang Bing, and Deng Gui will lead the troops to surround the assassin and kill them. All aspects will be explained - even if the whirlpools of fighting in the court surrounding Wang Bing's death will not have much to do with him even if they will not stop easily?

That's what Deng Gui thinks?

Xu Huai's heart was secretly nervous, and he suspected that Deng Gui's arrangement was not simple.

Deng Gui didn't know that Xu Huai had so much thought, so he said to Xu Wujiang: "When I write a official letter, you will take the two of you to Biyang immediately and hand it over to the magistrate, the magistrate of the military commander of Biyang, Deng Lunying, Deng Langjun, and the magistrate of the prefect Chen Shichen. When Deng Langjun and Lord Chen have a message, you can come back and tell me if you know."

"Di Niang was feeling a little uncomfortable these days..." Xu Wujiang said hesitantly.

"How many bad things are you going to do? I can't send you? Why don't your wife feel bad about her health? Just find an old lady to take care of her. You can stay and take care of her?" Deng Gui scolded in a bad tone, not allowing Xu Wujiang to refuse her.

Deng Gui had no prestige in daily life, but he was a regular inspector. He was the magistrate of the county and the county military commander Cheng Lunying could show his face.

Xu Wujiang did not dare to stroke Deng Gui's tiger beard in public, so he had to accept it.

Logically speaking, ordinary soldiers may not be able to enter the gates of prefecture and county government offices with official letters. This matter must be handled by someone like Xu Wujiang, but there are two heads in the military camp, and six people can be sent to the level of the festival.

Deng Gui sent Xu Wujiang away at this time, but he could not let Xu Wujiang ask for excuses to refuse. Xu Huai felt that things were not simple.

At this time, Xu Huai suddenly thought of a possibility: the assassins were successfully mixed in the caravan and left suddenly halfway. Will they deliberately startle the snake? Will they scare Wang Bing and Lu Xiong back to Huaiyuan Military Village?

Xu Huai felt a chill on his back: Deng Guidan arranged him to serve Wang Bing, but he firmly sent Xu Wujiang away. Did he expect that the assassin's intention was like this?

He didn't expect that Deng Gui, who only knew how to drink and visit prostitutes after taking office, was so scheming that it could even be said to be vicious.

Although Xu Huai guessed so much, he didn't feel much regret in his heart.

After all, Tang Wenbiao decided to withdraw, and he could not change his mind. If he could not walk with the caravan, he and Xu Xin'an insisted on accompanying Lu Xiong to escort Wang Bing to Biyang, which was actually even more dangerous.

He looked at Lu Xiong's surprised eyes, and he must have the same idea as him. He didn't say much at the moment, but just helped lead the horse and carriage and walked towards the inn.

They couldn't even guess that the assassin was actually scared away by them, and there was no plan to alert them at all!
