Straight man of steel

Chapter 259

After leaving Beique, Li Jian was still waiting outside with a thousand guards.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan came back unscathed, all the soldiers could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were still calculating in their hearts just now, if Zhang Yuan was really in danger, whether they should rush in to seek justice for Zhang Yuan.

The ending of the dilemma never appeared. Although Zhang Yuan got out of the tiger's mouth, his face was still very serious.

Having just met Dong Yan and Princess Guantao, Zhang Yuan was immediately unsure whether the murder was committed by the two.

Princess Guantao was too domineering, she didn't care about Liu Che's views on this matter, and even wanted to take Dong Yan to see Liu Che, so as to test the bottom line of today's world.

"Brother Li, retreat back to the camp and see if Xue Ren can bring us some good news."

Li Jian smiled, patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Ayuan, there are only fifty city guards, and they are even escaping into Shanglin Garden. Xue Ren will definitely be able to capture all those thieves."

Zhang Yuan is not as optimistic as Li Jian. He came prepared, and the escape route must have been planned. He plunged into Shanglin Garden because of the good hiding conditions in Shanglin Garden, which is thousands of miles away, fertile and uninhabited.

"You'll know when you go back."

"Uh-huh."

On the way back, Gongsun Ao led a large group of city guards to stand guard at the city gate. Zhang Yuan saw this scene and could only sneer at Gongsun Ao.

The dignified Wei Weicheng was regarded as a gunman, and he still doesn't know who is behind the scenes.

The original friendship between Zhang Yuan and Gongsun Ao also appeared cracks, and the Qimen army no longer trusted the former Qimen army Sima after those city guards attacked their brothers.

"Wei Weicheng, tomorrow I will be waiting for Wei Wei and you at His Majesty's Dinghu Yanshou Palace. Remember to come on time, but don't say that I, Zhang Yuan, have no chance to explain to you."

Zhang Yuan is the kind of person who won't forgive others when he is justified. Now that he has this principle in his hands, he will naturally press him step by step.

No matter what era is the era of cannibalism, be it ancient or modern, only by cannibalism can one be strong.

People standing on the top of the mountain will be kind to the people at the bottom of the mountain, but those who have already started to climb will definitely be ruthless, and they will definitely not be disabled if they can be killed.

Gongsun Ao also gritted his teeth at Zhang Yuan and said.

"Your Majesty, remember what Doctor Qing said today."

Zhang Yuan glanced at it and then rode out of the city leisurely on his horse. Li Guang and Gongsun Ao were downright unlucky ghosts, and what Zhang Yuan cared most about was the person behind the scenes.

When a thousand soldiers returned to the barracks, the pawns guarding the gate told Zhang Yuan and Li Jian that Xue Ren and the others were still arresting the city guards and had not returned yet.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan relied on his temper to stay in the barracks overnight, and learned early the next morning that Xue Ren led his subordinates back to the barracks in the middle of the night, but the other soldiers of the Sanquqi Gate Army were still searching for the city. guard.

Shanglin Court is really too big, and when the city guards fled, they all fled scatteredly, so it was naturally very difficult to arrest them.

Knowing that Xue Ren was back, Zhang Yuan immediately set off to Xue Ren's tent.

Whether a living city guard can be caught is really important.

"Chang Shi, Marquis Qu is still resting, are you looking for him?"

Listening to the familiar address, Zhang Yuan nodded to Xue Ren's personal guard.

Then the guards immediately opened the camp tent, leaving Zhang Yuan alone to wait outside.

But soon the personal guard came out, clasped his fists at Zhang Yuan and said.

"Chang Shi, please enter the account for the military song."

Zhang Yuan then walked in with strides. Xue Ren just got up from the bed and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"Chang Shi, you came here so early."

"After what happened yesterday, I couldn't sleep well at all. I didn't hear that you came back. I rushed over to see if there was any result."

Xue Ren grinned grinningly. After tying the belt, he patted his chest and said proudly.

"Chang Shi didn't look at who was going out, although he didn't capture all the bandits.

But I caught one alive, otherwise how dare I come back empty-handed, don't you think? "

Zhang Yuan basically didn't have much hope yesterday, but now that he heard Xue Ren say this, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Did you really catch a live one?"

Xue Ren nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"These thieves have poison sacs under their tongues. When captured, they will bite open the poison sac immediately and commit suicide by taking the poison.

I saw through the tricks of these people, jumped directly from my horse to a thief soldier's horse, and punched him directly, making him spit out the poison sac and a few teeth together. "

As he said that, Xue Ren waved his fist.

"Can that person still talk?"

"Don't worry Chang Shi, when I locked him in the wooden cage yesterday, he scolded me a few words."

Only then did Zhang Yuan nod his head reassuringly.

"That's good, you immediately take two men and horses, and go with me to Dinghu Yanshou Palace to meet His Majesty.

After all, those thieves also shot arrows at you yesterday, so you and I are both involved. "

When Xue Ren heard Zhang Yuan say that he was going to see Liu Che, he immediately became a little timid. They had mixed with Liu Che when they were young, and Liu Che was the prince at that time, so he could only endure beating them up.

Now that Liu Che is the Son of Heaven, Xue Ren and the others will have to endure it even more if he gets angry, but for the sake of the Qimen army recruit who died innocently, Xue Ren made up his mind and said right away.

"Okay, Chang Shi, give me a quarter of an hour, and I'll go gather the troops and get ready to get into the prison van."

After a year of tempering, Xue Ren has become more and more cautious and reliable in handling things. Although his personality is still as carefree as before, he is much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Yuan planned to take only Xue Ren on this trip, and it would be better for Li Jian to stay in the Qimen military camp. Zhang Yuan was worried that some people would attack Li Jian when he saw Liu Che.

Without Li Jian, those people can only target Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan wants to take the opportunity to see who wants to kill him the most. After all, there are too many people offended, and Zhang Yuan can't tell who the main poets are. Enemies Those are secondary enemies.

After Xue Ren made all the arrangements, Zhang Yuan chose to set off immediately, but he didn't wear the blood-stained clothes from yesterday, but just carried them with him.

When meeting the emperor, you still need to pay attention to your appearance, this is where those people may attack.

As for the safety issues along the way, Zhang Yuan was not worried at all. Everyone in Chang'an city knew about his assassination yesterday, how could Liu Che not know about it.

If someone comes to assassinate Zhang Yuan today, it is either Liu Che who wants Zhang Yuan dead, or Liu Che is the driving force behind it.
