Records of the King of Xin'an County

In a short while, the rebels changed from being full of ambition and talking and laughing happily, to a bereaved dog who was in a state of panic all day long.The officials standing on the city wall finally accepted the fact that King Jiangxia is a lunatic, and then witnessed him fleeing south with his subordinates in a hurry. It took ten days and half a month for the city to get reinforcements from the surrounding states to relieve the difficulties. Why did the rebels flee without fighting after only guarding for two or three days?

"Pursuit! Annihilate them all!!" The king of Xin'an County seemed to have expected this moment, and ordered the soldiers to wave the banners on the city wall and beat the drums.Amidst the sound of clanging drums, the young king of the county put an archer on his back and held a horizontal knife, got on his horse, and galloped out.Behind him, there are soldiers who are shouting and killing like flowing water.

Wu Guogong Qin An looked at his back, and suddenly remembered the heroic Taiyuan prince decades ago, his eyes were slightly moist.In his life, he has never made a wrong choice, and he has never missed anyone.But at this moment, he had unreasonable expectations for this child.

Judging from the strategizing and determination of these days, this child is destined to have a wider and farther path.Even, a rebellious thought spontaneously came up in his heart - if he was the son of a sage instead of his nephew, what kind of prosperous world would the Tang Dynasty be like in the future?

At this time, a few more horsemen rushed out of the city gate, followed Li Hui on horseback, and rushed away among the army.Or young and thin or slim figure, it is not difficult to identify their identities.It stands to reason that neither Li Hui, Princess Changning, nor others have military positions and should not go to the battlefield.However, at this moment, all the civil servants just watched silently, and no one objected.In the face of young men and women who are braver than them, what face do they have to accuse them of being unruly?

Standing beside Qin An, King Jing sighed softly: "Dr. Qin, you and I are both old." If the two of them decide this matter, they may not be able to make a decisive decision like this group of young people.It is uncertain how disastrous the consequences of this rebellion will be. Both the court and the imperial court were frustrated.The instability of the capital will have a terrible impact on the saints who are thousands of miles away, and those soldiers who are resisting foreign enemies and pacifying internal thieves.

"..." Qin An looked at him sideways, "The old man is indeed old, but the king is still young and vigorous. They are too young and need the guidance and protection of the elders." Among the elders of the clan, only King Jing is the most reliable, and King Yue must avoid suspicion , Lu Wang and Pu Wang do not need to be mentioned again.When this group of young people have passed the age of thirties, then they don't need to worry anymore.As for whether there will be a situation where the clan is too powerful in the future - at that time, he must have already gone underground to meet the first emperor, so why continue to worry about the new emperor?

Li Hui, who was speeding, naturally didn't know that his uncle and grandfather had already thought about his future for him.He was concentrating on chasing down the rebels, and joined up with the sixteen guards led by Duke E, when he suddenly noticed someone chasing after him on horseback.Looking back, it was Princess Changning, Qin Cheng, County Lord Xin'an, Zhou Yi, An Erniang and others.Even Yang Shen followed secretly, looking at him with shining eyes.

"..." In an instant, the king of Xin'an County, who had never thought that they would go to the battlefield, had the urge to drive them back with a whip, "The swords and arrows on the battlefield have no eyes. Hurry back!! Don’t join in the fun at this time!!” He should have asked the elder brother who was busy asking dignitaries to “donate” military rations to bring these idle guys over to help! !It's too late to say anything now!It's impossible for the elder brother to suddenly rush over and bring them all back!

"Brother, we didn't come here just to join in the fun." Princess Changning held the bow tightly in her hand, and said vigorously, "Didn't Aunt Pingyang also be a female general back then? I have learned riding and archery for so many years, why can't I go to the battlefield to experience it?" ? Even if your archery skills are not as good as your brother’s, it’s still not an embroidered pillow!”

"I just don't want Yueniang to be left behind." County Lord Xin'an quickly answered, "Cousin, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." An Erniang holds a red-tasseled spear in her hand, and her phoenix eyes are raised, "With me here, I won't let those rebels hurt your lord and the county lord. , long spears and bows are all used!!"

"..." Li Hui was speechless for a moment, and looked at Qin Cheng and Zhou Yi again, "That's all for Ah Cheng, Erlang, you hurry back! You only know how to recite poems and compose poems on weekdays, so why force yourself to come here?"

Zhou Yi clenched her teeth, clutching the rein in her hand, forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about, cousin... Anyway, anyway, I am also proficient in all aspects of ritual, music, archery and imperial books...!!" How can he show timidity when everyone is excited to say that he is going to go to the battlefield?Must follow! !

Qin Cheng reluctantly continued: "Cousin, don't worry, I will watch him closely."

Yang Shen didn't lose the opportunity to express his loyalty: "I have promised sir, I must protect him at all times!!" Mr. Bi is not Mr. Wang, he is naturally a member of Wangshe who is thousands of miles away.

Li Hui had no choice but to change the formation of the guards around him temporarily, protecting their group in the middle in a shuttle shape, with him as the leader, and adjusted their position at any time.Not long after, E Guo Gongwei Chi Qing laughed and passed them by with a wine gourd, and raised his beard: "Tsk tsk, it's nothing more than the county king going to the battlefield, why did he bring such a group of helpless little guys?" ?!"

"Mr. Yuchi, let's see if I'm 'powerless'?!" Princess Changning drew her bow and shot a rebel who was about to fight back to the ground, then raised her jaw slightly to signal.The Lord of Xin'an County and An Erniang were also not to be outdone, they both shot several arrows in succession, the former lacked accuracy but still hit the enemy, while the latter was no less accurate than the sons and daughters, with perfect accuracy.

Yu Chiqing squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, and coughed: "These two are a bit strange, I don't know—"

As a sensitive enough elder brother, King Xin'an interrupted him without hesitation: "Mr. Yuchi, the direction Jiang Xia fled against the King is near Nanshan Mountain. Presumably he is planning to cross Nanshan Mountain into Qinling Mountains and sneak into the vast mountains Let us get rid of our pursuers, and then march back to the fief to continue to resist. If we release him into the Qinling Mountains, not only will it be difficult to find him, but there will be endless troubles. I don't know what countermeasures Duke Yuchi has?"

"The old man has named Cheng Jia Erlang as a vanguard officer, and sent him to take a detour to block the retreat of the rebels." Yu Chiqing said, "I heard him mention it, and he seems to be very familiar with the county king? Presumably, the old man didn't send Wrong person? One of the sixteen guards has a general and many high-ranking military officers who have contacts with King Jiangxia Ni, so I really don't have many people available under my command."

When the sage went on his own expedition, he took away many generals of the sixteen guards, and two of the seven generals who stayed in the capital were rebellious.From this, we can see the depth of Jiangxia Junwang's lineage, and it can also be deduced what kind of critical situation Chang'an City faced before.

Li Hui thought for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Yuchi, can you send someone to tell Taiyuan Mansion the urgent news of eight hundred li?"

"Several post stations on that post road have been controlled by rebels. The old man has sent hundreds of soldiers to clean up these remnants, so as not to hinder the exchange of official documents and military orders." Yu Chiqing said, "I also received news from the Taiyuan Mansion , the sage is safe and sound, and has now moved to the city of Taiyuan Prefecture. The siege of the palace has been lifted, and when the rebel Li Chen fled north, he was hit head-on by the old man Xu Ye, and he was being beaten inextricably."

Princess Changning breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Xin'an County Lord.Li Hui's expression also softened a little: "Uncle must be looking forward to this big victory in the capital. Yue Niang, let's go! Take this victory as a gift to welcome uncle's triumph!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

Yu Chiqing watched the group of young people go away, picked up the wine gourd, took a sip of strong wine, and shouted: "Boys, go! Kill this group of pigs and dogs! Let them see, our capital city No one should underestimate the bravery of the sixteen guards!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

-

When the Prince of Jiangxia County gave up hundreds of lives and managed to get rid of Cheng Qing's siege for a while, he immediately ordered the remaining troops to scatter into the Qinling Mountains and agreed to rendezvous outside Jingzhou in five days.After all, he chose a path at random, and led the last few hundred people around him into the Qinling Mountains trail that they had walked many times.

However, before he could walk a hundred steps, there was a burst of laughter in the forest: "Reincarnation of cause and effect, I am sincere. I don't know if my clan brother still remembers how Ni Wang Li Chen escaped from Chang'an in a hurry a few months ago? Li Chen at that time was just like you today. However, you may not be able to escape to northern Xinjiang to start a war like him tomorrow."

"I'm also curious. During the Lantern Festival, did you laugh at Li Chen from the bottom of your heart? When others were celebrating the festive season, he fled north in panic and almost lost his life several times. And, if it wasn't for you If there is someone with a heart to help him, I am afraid that he will not live today. It is a pity that there is no other person with a heart to help you escape today."

King Jiangxia raised his head, looking coldly at the two cousins ​​who came out from behind the tree: "Really? That's not necessarily the case."

Li Hui was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, and immediately rushed to the nearby bushes with Princess Changning in his arms.Several arrows were nailed to where they had just stood, and the tails of the arrows trembled slightly.The soldiers immediately hid on the spot, while the members of the Wang Family, who knew more about the terrain of the Qinling Mountains than anyone else, made a detour and quickly found the enemy.

King Jiangxia took the opportunity to escape again, and Princess Changning couldn't help but slapped the ground lightly a few times: "Hateful! Teach him to escape again!! Brother, do you know who dared to act so boldly?! Hidden in the Qinling Mountains Apart from the traitor Li Chen and those horse thieves pretending to be bandits, are there other people?"

Li Hui's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered someone who had died long ago.Without waiting for his answer, the trilogy came to report and captured hundreds of people who had been hiding by the side and sniping.They seemed to have been drunk or drugged, and after shooting that burst of arrows, they were drowsy and staggering, as if they were just waiting for them to come forward and catch them.

At this time, Cheng Qing came walking with a boy about ten years old in his arms, and two monks, one big and one small, followed behind him.The older monk was not as old as Guan, and although he had a weathered look, his face was very familiar. Both Li Hui and Princess Changning were stunned.

When the monk saw them, he clasped his hands together, lowered his eyes and said, "The two Tanyues are well, I feel relieved."

"It was you... who drugged that group of people just now?" Li Hui thought of the attacker who was tied up by the trilogy.

"Amitabha, the situation is urgent, so we have to do it." The monk said indifferently, turning the several layers of beads on his wrist with his eyes downcast, "I happened to be staying in this manor for the past two days, and I saw them describe it as secretive and deceive the young master. This is a bad plan. I, Buddha, is merciful, and I definitely don't want to see them kill."

Li Hui suddenly felt that the person in front of him seemed to have changed slightly compared to what he remembered.He is no longer the Prince Mu Wang Saburo, nor is he the young monk Yuan Wu in Da Ci'en Temple who wholeheartedly avoids worldly affairs.

"..." Princess Changning also stared at him steadfastly, unable to look away for a long time.
