After leaving the palace and returning home, Du Shaoqing was guarding a big house by himself, and wanted to pack some clothes to prepare, but unexpectedly Du's mother, Qi, was already waiting at the door, accompanied by his second daughter-in-law, Liu.

"Mother, why are you here?" Du Shaoqing was surprised. When he came back from Luoxia Town, the Qi family returned to live in the Laiguo Duke's mansion, and now he appeared in Du Shaoqing's Earl's mansion.

"My son is going to join the army to fight against the enemy, how can mother not come to see him off? Are you still planning to leave secretly without telling me?" The Qi family held Du Shaoqing and said lovingly.

"Why? My son wanted to clean up, so he went to say goodbye to his mother."

Mrs. Liu handed over a bundle and said, "Brother, these are the clothes my mother-in-law sewed for you. Our Du family is a minister's family, and we don't have generals' armor, so we only have a strong robe for you."

"Thank you, second brother and sister." Du Shaoqing took the clothes to express his thanks, and at the same time looked inside, as if he was looking for someone.

Mrs. Qi scolded with a smile: "Don't look at it, Xiao Zhao'er said he has something to do, he went out for the past few days, but he didn't come today."

Du Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, and personally helped her mother into the yard.

Unexpectedly, there was a group of people standing neatly waiting in the yard. Qi Shi explained: "Your father also fought with the army as a military adviser back then, and this centurion was his personal guard back then. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles. , since you are going to fight, they will be your personal guards from now on."

"I swear to protect the safety of the eldest son to the death." All the veterans gave a military salute to Du Shaoqing.

This made Du Shaoqing astonished. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Then why were the housekeepers so vulnerable when they were in Lai Guogong's mansion?This group of people knew extraordinary at a glance.

In fact, the housekeepers and guards were recruited separately. After Du Ruhui became an official, he properly settled these veteran brothers in his hometown Du Ling. Now that Du Shaoqing is joining the army, this group of people has been called up again. It is said that it is the eldest son of the old master. On the battlefield, people came to vote enthusiastically.

After listening to his mother's introduction, Du Shaoqing was moved and returned a military salute.

The situation in Jiannan Road is urgent, and the imperial court wants troops to be quick, so there is only half a day to prepare. The first batch of [-] troops will be assembled and set off on the same day, and the other [-] troops will be dispatched within three days. Du Shaoqing is the first batch to accompany the army of.

And at this time, on an official road outside Luoyang City in the east, a carriage was stopped, and a middle-aged rich businessman in gorgeous clothes asked dissatisfiedly inside the carriage: "Ah San, why did you stop suddenly? "

The coachman said, "Master, someone stopped our carriage."

"Oh? Who is it?" The rich merchant's body suddenly became vigilant, and he felt the familiar atmosphere in the air. The rich merchant's heart was pounding, and he slowly walked out of the carriage.

"Master, why did you come out? The young one can handle it." The coachman was surprised.

But the rich businessman ignored his subordinates at all, but stared straight at the woman in red who was blocking the car on the official road. The other party was smiling at him. The rich businessman sighed in his heart, as if he hadn't seen him for more than ten years.

"He is just a driver. If there is anything, let's go to the side and talk in private." The wealthy businessman took the initiative to say.

The woman in red nodded, and turned around first and walked towards the nearby woods. She was none other than Zhang Chuchen, the red-haired girl who promised Wu Zhao to help find the murderer.

Looking at his old friend whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, Zhang Chuchen said with a smile: "Who would have thought that the top five killers would be a rich businessman with a big belly? Could it be that you really quit? I'm afraid fat will drag down [-]% of your martial arts."

The businessman cupped his hands to Zhang Chuchen with a wry smile and said, "Red Man, I haven't seen him for so many years and still look the same.

I'm tired of killing brothers half my life. As you can see, being a businessman doesn't require much martial arts. "

"Hahahaha, tired? I remember your slogan back then: Killing is justice! Besides, what profit do you have as a traveling businessman? I'm afraid your annual income is not as good as your one mission." Zhang Chuchen sneered.

"You don't need to be so cynical. We have no grievances in the past and we have no hatred in the present. I don't know why you found me?" The man asked bluntly.

Zhang Chuchen didn't make any detours, stared into the other person's eyes and asked: "A month ago, a murder case occurred in Chang'an. I went to investigate the scene. There are only two people with this strength, and you are one of them."

The corner of the merchant's eyes shrank, "You mean the death of Lu Dongzan, the Tubo envoy, right?"

"It really is you? Then don't bother, tell me, who hired you?" Zhang Chuchen took two steps closer and asked forcefully.

The man moved two steps sideways and shook his head indiscriminately: "No, I know about that matter, but it's not me. I have nothing to say. Please don't force others to be difficult."

Hongfu girl raised her eyebrows and questioned, "Huh? It's not you? It's not your style to dare to admit it."

"It's really not me. That's all I can say. I don't want to do anything after years of friendship. Although my brother's martial arts is not as good as yours, you can escape if you try your best." The businessman shook his head again.

"Escape? Add me?" A domineering response appeared in the grove, and the businessman was startled. The voice was so familiar.

Chapter 191 Du He in Luoxia Town

Who is it?It was a big yellow-faced man with a sword in his hand, and his steps were calm and imposing. He walked step by step, his aura was directly on the back of the merchant, and the opponent couldn't breathe. He murmured: "Qin, Brother Qin?"

That's right, it was Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao who were in charge of the green forest. When he was in the green forest, he was an influential figure who attracted the attention of both black and white. At his peak, he was probably ranked among the top three in the green forest in terms of martial arts.

The businessman killer was sweating coldly. He never imagined that what was going on would lead out the two masters from Chang'an City. I am afraid that only the old guy in the palace was left.

He may not know that the old guy in the palace has also been sent out by the emperor to act secretly. Wu Zhao can even think that it is the top killer who did it. How could the emperor not think of it?

"I'm telling the truth. I've heard about that mission, but I haven't received it, so I really didn't do it." The businessman emphasized again.

Zhang Chuchen asked, "Mission? Did they offer a reward on the road? I checked the reward list, but there is no record."

"No, the ones who are not on the list are the few of us who were secretly contacted by someone alone. It is said that the matter is urgent. First come, first served. I was picked up late. I think the two of you must have found out about that person.

We don’t know what the specific task is, but the reward is very high. It is said that there is 1 taels of silver. Even those of us who are willing to take over but are late, each of us has 1000 taels of silver in the end. "

Qin Qiong said in a deep voice: "Who summoned you? You are all erratic people with homes all over the world. You are not ordinary people who can accurately find you."

After Du Shaoqing's diagnosis and treatment, Qin Qiong's injury was half healed. Whether it was out of protection for his old friend Du Ruhui's child, or out of gratitude to his benefactor Du Shaoqing, Qin Qiong would not ignore it. When Zhang Chuchen said that he was short of manpower, Without further ado, Qin Qiong insisted on playing with injuries, so today the two of them flanked each other to stop and question each other, otherwise, as the killer said, he would be able to run if he couldn't beat him.

"I don't know, the person who came out from the other party is not a big shot, but he looks like a servant or something, but he is extremely generous. We don't know where the other side is following, but we can tell that there is a big shot behind them.

You can go to kill the fourth brother and ask, he should know more about the missions he took.I only found out later that it was the envoy who killed Tubo. ’ replied the merchant.

Qin Qiong shook her head and sighed: "The killing of the fourth child is over, there is not even a whole body left, presumably he was silenced."

Hong Fu Nu laughed and said: "The other party is really a big shot. After hiring someone to do something, he even kills people to save money. Hehe, it's clean and tidy!"

This fourth child is the fourth character on the list of killers, how easy is it to kill him?The businessman couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, this world has never been dominated by green forest masters. There is no invincible martial art in the world. The most vicious thing is always the human heart." After speaking, Zhang Chuchen turned and left.

Qin Qiong glanced at the businessman, hesitated and reminded: "If the other party knows that we have looked for you, I'm afraid you are in danger too. Since you want to wash your hands in the golden basin, you should stay away."

After speaking, he strode to catch up with Zhang Chuchen and left. The businessman bowed his hands to the two of them, thinking that Second Brother Qin was still a kind person.

Besides, for the army rushing to the southwest, Hou Junji led the team with great speed, because the traffic was inconvenient in this era, and the transmission of information was also very troublesome, so it was fifteen days after Chang'an received the warning from Jiannan Road in Shuzhong, and it was not too late. I know whether the Tubo Songtsan Gampo and his party have any patience. If they can't wait, the 20 army will really be a disaster for the people of Jiannan Road.

Even if the 30 army traveled day and night, it would be [-] days before they arrived in Chengdu, Yizhou, so it would be [-] days. The [-] army joined forces with Li Daliang, the guard of Jiannan Road. When they arrived in Yazhou, they were approaching Yizhou. It is said that Songtsan Gambo was waiting for Chang'an to send the princess over.

Hou Junji said angrily: "It's not that they can't take Yizhou, but they just waited for Datang to compromise and subdue. Good thief, fortunately Du Shaoqing killed the envoy of the thief, otherwise they really let him come back and report success, I'm afraid Yizhou is gone too."

His general Niu Jinda asked: "Since these barbarians are waiting for us to deliver the princess, why don't they follow the rules and take the lead in sending troops to attack our territory?"

"It's not easy. They are here to grab food. Central Sichuan is a land of abundance. If Tubo guards the border of Tang Dynasty empty-handed for a month, it will simply consume its own food. Songtsan Gampo is not stupid. The scouts came to report the areas that were laid down by them. , They almost robbed the people of food, and they had to transport it away if they couldn't finish it." Li Daliang said bitterly.

"Then he should just conquer Yizhou. Yizhou must have the most food reserves." Niu Jinda wondered.

Li Daliang gave this old cow a white look: "If I hadn't reduced the strength of Yizhou and stationed [-] troops, do you think you can stand here and talk now? Speaking of which, what is the situation in Chang'an, and why is Tubo crazy?"

Hou Junji and Niu Jinda didn't speak, but looked back at Du Shaoqing who was beside Niu Jinda at the same time. Treated by a military doctor, His Majesty has secretly confessed that he cannot die.
