Yuwen Chengdu didn't speak for a long time, how could he not know Wang Shichong's ambitions, I'm afraid that Luoyang's three-year-old children would know, but what could he do with Yuwen Chengdu, except for more than a hundred personal soldiers, he didn't have a single soldier in his hands.

"What does the gentleman say I should do?" Yuwen Chengdu asked with a sigh.

"In fact, the road is in front of the general, it only depends on whether the general is willing to go."

Yuwen Chengdu paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands, the road was indeed in front of him, but how did he take this road? Let him go directly to surrender to Zhang Xuan, Emperor Tai is still alive, and he can't afford the reputation of this betrayal.

After a long time, Yuwen Chengdu let out a long sigh, "I'd better go to Luoyang!" In any case, I want to see the Son of Heaven one more time. ”

Xu Yin knows Yuwen Chengdu very well, although Yuwen Chengdu is superb in martial arts, but his character is more stubborn than anyone else, and he is very stupid and loyal, just because Yang Guanglin entrusted King Yue to him when he went to Jiangdu, he was loyal to Yang Tong, unswerving to death, respectable, but lamentable.

"I'm worried that the general will be killed by Wang Shichong when he goes to Luoyang."

"Not really!"

Yuwen Chengdu said with a smile: "The barracks are full of his people, it is easy for him to kill me, why call me to Luoyang, besides, I have no soldiers and no power, what's the point of killing me, he wants to use my reputation to envelop the army." ”

After a pause, Yuwen Chengdu said in a firm tone: "If he must be the emperor, I can't stop it, but I must not let him harm the Emperor Tai, I want to take the Emperor Tai away." ”

Xu Yin sighed secretly in his heart, with Wang Shichong's viciousness, how could he spare Emperor Tai, Yuwen Chengdu didn't understand politics, and he thought too simply.

"General, this is unrealistic—"

Without waiting for Xu Yin to finish speaking, Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand to stop his words, "Sir, don't persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, if I don't try, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

"Okay!"

Xu Yin can't persuade anymore, after all, Yuwen Chengdu's wife and children are in Luoyang, even if he is persuaded by himself, how can he leave his wife and son and escape alone?

Xu Yin had no choice but to say: "I will go to Zhongdu to arrange a way back for the general, if the general is imprisoned by Wang Shichong, maybe the king of Qi can also force Wang Shichong to release the general and his family like he saved Lu Chu." ”

Yuwen Chengdu nodded silently, and said slowly: "Please tell the King of Qi for me, if I Yuwen Chengdu is unfortunately killed, I can only repay his kindness to me in the next life." ”

........

An hour later, Yuwen Chengdu packed up his belongings and left the barracks and went to Luoyang to attend the court meeting, Xu Yin also left the barracks with him, but then turned to the south, and Yuwen Chengdu sent two personal soldiers to accompany him to Liang County.

As soon as Yuwen Chengdu left, a carrier pigeon flew out of the barracks and flew towards the Tiger Prison Pass.

The military camp of Xingyang County is not in the county governing the city and county, but in the southernmost part of Xingyang County, close to Chenliu County of Liang County, from the military camp to the Tiger Prison Pass is about 200 miles away, and you can reach Luoyang after entering the Tiger Prison Pass and walking more than 100 miles.

Yuwen Chengdu rushed all the way, he wanted to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass before it was dark, but the snow on the road blocked the road, they could only make a detour, so they delayed the time, and they only walked to the boundary of Guancheng County at a watch, and there were still fifty miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass.

At this time, there are still three days before the New Year, a few days ago there was a heavy snow in the Central Plains, the white snow covered the earth, and the road was also submerged, although it was a plain area, everyone did not dare to walk at will, there were often straw spikes in the fields, and a little carelessness would hurt the war horse, making everyone walk very slowly.

"General, let's find a place to stay for one night!" The pro-soldiers persuaded one after another.

Yuwen Chengdu nodded, he was not interested in the court, he was not in a hurry to go to Luoyang, he looked around, the county seat was in the southeast direction, they had already walked through, at least thirty miles apart, Yuwen Chengdu did not want to go to the county seat.

At this time, he saw a rare light in front of him, so he pointed to the light and asked, "Where is the light?" ”

There were locals in the pro-soldiers, and they said with a smile: "General, that's Guanxi Town, a very small town." ”

"Is there an inn?"

"Yes! There is one at the entrance of the town, called the Old Elm Inn. ”

"Just go there and stay!"

Yuwen Chengdu waved his horsewhip and urged the horse to run towards the place where the light was on, and everyone hurriedly urged the horse to follow.......

Because of the New Year, the inn is basically empty, there is no business, Yuwen Chengdu and more than 100 of his own soldiers arrived, and immediately crowded the inn, the shopkeeper and the two guys were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and they waited for this group of soldiers before and after.

Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand to the shopkeeper, "You just take care of our horses, and we'll do the rest ourselves!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, walked a few steps, and then turned back and said, "The general had better be careful, this area has not been peaceful recently?" ”

What do you mean by that? Got a thief? ”

"It's not a thief, I don't know what's going on recently, there was actually a mountain bandit, about a few hundred people, I heard that in Taoping Mountain, Songjiazhuang was looted last night, many people died, and more than a dozen young women were also robbed."

Yuwen Chengdu was stunned, he couldn't believe that there would be bandits in Xingyang County, and it was Guancheng County, which was the center of Luoyang.

Although Yuwen Chengdu looked down on these small bandits, he was also worried that these bandits would come to rob him without knowing how to rob him, causing unnecessary casualties to his men and horses, so he called two of his subordinates, rewarded them with ten yuan each, and ordered them to stand guard on both sides of the town tonight, and the two personal soldiers led the order.

Everyone coaxed and ate something, scalded their feet with hot water, and went to sleep one after another, Yuwen Chengdu was also a little tired, he went up to the third floor to sleep.

When he slept until midnight, Yuwen Chengdu was woken up by his subordinates, "What's the matter?" Yuwen Chengdu asked in a daze.

"Someone came to the general, it seems that something has happened?"

Yuwen Chengdu turned over and sat up, put on a coat and asked, "When is it?" ”

"The fourth watch has just passed!"

Yuwen Chengdu wondered in his heart, who came to find him at such a late hour?

He went downstairs, and at the top of the stairs he met a soldier sent to the south of the town to stand guard, and the soldier said to him: "General, it is the brother who went south with Mr. Xu, and the other person came from General Zhang Da of Nanyang County." ”

"Where are they?"

"It's in the lobby."

Yuwen Chengdu walked quickly to the lobby, only to see two people sitting in the lobby, one was the personal soldier he sent to guard Xu Yin, and the other looked sad, Yuwen Chengdu approached, and suddenly recognized him, it was Zhang Zhenzhou's nephew Zhang Yannian.

"Where is Mr. Xu?" Yuwen Chengdu asked his pro-soldier first.

The soldiers stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "General Qiyu, Mr. has already arrived in Chenliu County, and met this brother outside the county seat, he is the nephew of General Zhang, and he knows Mr. Xu." ”

Zhang Yannian stepped forward and 'plopped!' He knelt down and cried, "General, my uncle has been killed by Wang Shichong's dog thief!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu was shocked, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Three days ago, Yang Gongqing led the army to Huai'an County, and asked my uncle to discuss the garrison issue, and my uncle was also prepared, and went with his own soldiers, but my uncle just entered the military camp and found that there were swords and axes in ambush on both sides, so he rushed out, we fought desperately out of the encirclement, but met Yun Dingxing's ambush, my uncle and brothers were killed, only I escaped alone, my uncle asked me to come to the general before he died, Wang Shichong will definitely kill the general, let the general go to the capital immediately."

Yuwen Chengdu turned around and smashed his fist on the wooden pillar, tears welled up, he had a deep friendship with Zhang Zhenzhou, Zhang Zhenzhou was actually killed by Wang Shichong, which made his heart full of resentment.

At this time, the pro-soldier stepped forward and handed a note to Yuwen Chengdu, "This is a text message that Mr. Xu asked me to hand over to the general." ”

Yuwen Chengdu wiped away his tears, took the note and opened it, there was only one sentence on it, 'There will be ambushes in the Tiger Prison Pass, leave quickly!' ’

Yuwen Chengdu didn't speak, he also believed that Wang Shichong was going to kill himself, Zhang Zhenzhou had been killed, and the next one must be himself, he asked his own soldiers again: "Does Mr. have any other messages?" ”

"Yes! Mr. said that Wang Shichong would inevitably pretend to be a bandit or bandit to harm the general, so as to avoid dissatisfaction in the army, please be careful. ”

Yuwen Chengdu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ordered: "Let all the brothers get up immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a faint scream outside, Yuwen Chengdu was taken aback, pulled out his sword and rushed out of the gate, only to see a person stumbling on the street, it was the pro-soldier who went to the north of the town to sentry, he was covered in blood, and was hit by three arrows on his body, and the pro-soldier saw Yuwen Chengdu, stretched out his hand and shouted: "There is an enemy!" ”

After shouting this, the soldiers fell to the snow and died.

Yuwen Chengdu was furious, looked up to the north, and saw a black and oppressive figure appear in the dark, 'Whoosh! A cold arrow shot at the door in front of him, Yuwen Chengdu split it with a sword, turned around and shouted: "Get on the horse and kill with me!" (To be continued.) )
