Chapter 1241

"Beetles."

Hao Tianting returned to Hao's house, sat down in the lobby, and couldn't help scolding Ahema and Sangge again.

I thought that maybe this was the reason why Li Xia's new Tang Chuli had repeatedly defeated Dayuan, not because it was so strong, but because Dayuan was too corrupt.

After patting his forehead and closing his eyes to recuperate for a while, Hao Tianze came back in a hurry and asked, "Qilang, why is the North City Gate open again?"

"Ah."

"No, you answer me, why did you turn it on again?"

"The Tang army will not attack from the north. And Ahema wants to transport Qiangu to Yanjing, how can we not open?"

Hao Tianze said anxiously: "But, but didn't you want me to search for Hao Tianyi? I finally got a clue, and I followed one of his old men, but I didn't know he escaped from the north gate."

"Then go ask Ahema! Ask me?!" Hao Tianting suddenly lost his temper.

He has tried his best to defend Dayuan and his hometown, but he is still helpless because of some treacherous and greedy bugs, of course he is angry.

Hao Tianze was stunned, and asked, "Why are you so angry at me? Ahema wants to take away those grains of money, didn't you already know? It's not the first time that the grains of money in Taiyuan have been taken away."

Only then did Hao Tianting feel that he was too young and energetic, he paced and pondered for a while, and said: "You said you found a clue, tell me more about it."

"A judge in the Transshipment Division is named Xu Yan."

"Xu Yan?" Hao Tianting's expression changed slightly, and he said, "This person writes well, I met him a few days ago."

"Even Qilang didn't find out. He was originally favored by Hao Tianyi. According to his neighbors, they saw that he had contact with Hao Tianyi eight days ago. I showed him the portrait and I was sure it was Hao Tianyi."

"Check! Check where Xu Yan and Hao Tianyi went."

Hao Tianting suddenly realized that it was useless to deal with treacherous ministers such as Ahema and Sang Ge before, so he might as well focus on dealing with Tang Jun.Just hope it's not too late.

At dusk that day, Hao Tianze came back in a hurry and said: "Found it! Xu Yan took He Tianyi to meet his father-in-law Liu Zizun, who is from a thousand households in Taiyuan."

"Tang Jun really does not give up on Taiyuan."

"Fortunately, Liu Yuanli hasn't broken through our defense yet. Should we take down Liu Zizun?"

"No." Hao Tianting suddenly remembered something, and said, "If I remember correctly, Liu Zizun has been in office due to illness at the beginning of the year."

"But his prestige in the army..."

"What kind of prestige can he have? If Hao Tianyi wants to instigate against the generals in the city, he should choose Liu Zizun and he will lose more than he gains."

Hao Tianting raised his hand, signaling Hao Wulang not to speak, and let him think about it.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly walked quickly to the map, swiped his finger, and let out a sigh of relief.

"what happened?"

"I was wondering if Tang Jun wanted to attack from the east." Hao Tianting said, "Although Liu Zizun has retired, his son Liu Youzhang is guarding Shouyang, an important town in the east of Taiyuan. If Hao Tianyi really wants to instigate Liu Youzhang..."

Hao Tianze was startled at first, but after a while he said: "No way, because of the danger of the Taihang Mountain, we sent our confidantes to guard the Tianchangcheng Wall and Niangziguan early, so it is impossible for Tang Jun to come over."

"Yes."

Hao Tianting breathed a sigh of relief just now and thought of this.

Instead of attacking the steep Taihang pass, the Tang army might as well increase troops and Liu Yuanli attack from the south.

What's more, there is no war in the east at all, or the only war is that Brother Yixiang is besieging Baozhou City.

"Maybe it's because Hao Tianyi rushed to the doctor because of his illness."

"He's always been a piece of shit."

Withdrawing his thoughts and thinking of his big brother again, Hao Tianting had contempt in his eyes and a very confident tone.

"Follow this clue and find him."

~~
Two days later, outside Fuxi Cang.

An old man was walking slowly with a cane when a loud shout suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hao Tianyi!"

The old man didn't respond, just lowered his eyebrows a little and stopped looking at the scene of transporting money grains from the granary, and continued walking forward tremblingly.

However, there were already dozens of soldiers coming forward from various streets and alleys.

"Hao Tianyi, you can't escape."

The old man looked around and saw that his way was blocked, so he stopped pretending, straightened up quickly, and ran towards Fuxi Cang like a falcon.

At the same time, he took out a crossbow in his arms, and shot a soldier with a "swish".

"Killed!"

The surrounding civilians suddenly panicked and confused.

At this time, the old man had removed his disguise and turned into a vigorous Hao Tianyi. He took out a thin sword from the crutch in his hand, stabbed at the soldiers guarding the warehouse, and fled into the warehouse in the blink of an eye.

"Chase!"

"Don't let him escape."

"Catch alive..."

Perhaps it was because Hao Tianyi's ability was indeed much lower than that of Hao Qilang, or perhaps it was because this place was still under Da Yuan's rule after all, and the scarred Hao Tianyi was dragged out without even half a stick of incense.

~~
An hour later, Hao Tianting finished his official duties and rushed to the cell in person.

"How did you get it?"

"He still wanted to struggle and fled into Fuxi Dacang, but unfortunately there was no way out inside, so he was still captured."

"He didn't light the fire and caused chaos?" Hao Tianting asked: "If you burn down the big warehouse in Fuxi, maybe there is still a chance to escape. If I die, I won't be caught without a fight."

Hao Tianze laughed and said, "We moved faster and didn't let him do it."

"Is it on trial?"

"It's under trial."

"When he provides the list of generals who instigated rebellion, he will be killed directly."

"Don't worry. I'm not soft-hearted."

Hao Tianting walked through the dark corridor and looked at the cell inside, only to see Hao Tianyi being hanged there for torture, screaming continuously.

The light from the torch cast Hao Tianting's shadow into the fence.

"Hao Tianting!" Hao Tianyi roared angrily, "I am your elder brother! How dare you treat me like this?!"

The executioner finally stopped his movements and gave Hao Tianyi a chance to breathe.

"You are a disgrace to the Hao family." Hao Tianting said, took two steps towards Hao Tianyi, and said, "You were captured by Zhang Jue before you even shot an arrow in the battle of the Yellow River. Are you worthless?"

"When marching and fighting, it is common to get lost."

"Because you are a waste, the second brother died in battle. And what about you? You refused to die for the country, but ran back to harm the whole family. You don't deserve to die, who deserves to die?"

Hao Tianyi panted, and said, "Do you know...the general trend of the world?"

"I know. But you are different from Zhang Hongdao. He has vision, and you are trying to survive. He is betting for the family. How about you? Don't you hate our brothers?"

"What do you mean?"

Hao Tian took a step forward, leaned into his elder brother's ear, and asked softly: "Now if I say I am willing to surrender, can you let me go?"

Hao Tianyi was taken aback.

Only at this moment, Hao Tianting sneered.

"waste."

Before he could attack his elder brother's defenses, suddenly, a soldier rushed into the cell without saying hello, but leaned over and whispered something in Hao Tianting's ear.

The light in the cell was very dark, and no one saw that Hao Tianting's face changed drastically in that instant.

He didn't even care about Hao Tianyi who was tied there, turned around and rushed out of the cell, his pace getting faster and faster.

"Shichiro."

Hao Tianze caught up and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't understand." Hao Tianting couldn't restrain the anxiety in his tone, and said: "The news is probably false, I have to confirm it."

"me and you together……"

"Don't go!"

Hao Tianze was taken aback, only to see that Hao Tianting had left in a hurry.

After a while, faint laughter came from the cell behind him.

The laughter grew louder, and there were some painful gasps in it.

"Brother?" Hao Tianze turned around and said, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"You know...do you know what I'm doing in Fuxicang today?"

"Damn, you didn't recruit me when you were interrogated just now." Hao Tianze felt a little flustered because of Hao Tianyi's smile, but he still couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

"Make sure... when the army enters the city, there will be no trouble in Fuxi Cang."

"What do you mean? What army? What's going on?"

Hao Tianyi was still laughing, his mouth widened, and he said, "My Great Tang Master is about to enter the city, I have to make sure that the warehouses will not be burned down."

"Impossible." Hao Tianze didn't believe it at all, only felt the absurdity, "You can bluff me if you want to, but you can't bluff me with such a fake thing. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"You do not believe?"

"I just received the news this morning that Liu Yuanli is still in Fenxi..."

"It's not south." Hao Tianyi said, "East."

"That's even more impossible. With the danger of Jingxing, the Great Wall of Heaven, Niangziguan..."

"Zhang Rou." Hao Tianyi said: "Before Zhang Rou came to Meng, he gathered people at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. Now many bandits on Taihang Mountain are all those from his old army who don't want to go to Meng and ran to the grass."

Hao Tianze was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Has Zhang Rou surrendered?"

"You didn't get the news? Ha, Kublai Khan didn't give you this kind of news, did he, for fear of affecting people's hearts?"

"I still don't believe it." Hao Tianze still shook his head.

After waiting for a while, He Tianyi didn't speak.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"tired."

"You don't want to lie to me."

"Believe it or not, we will find out when Master Wang enters the city."

Hao Tianze left the cell in a hurry.After a while, he came back and shouted: "You lied to me, there is no movement outside!"

"Are you in a hurry?"

"No! I'm not in a hurry!"

"Water, give me water."

Hao Tianze cursed, but still ordered someone to come in and put Hao Tianyi down, apply medicine and give him water.

"You all go out."

He took a few steps irritably, and said, "Brother, you really don't have to scare me. I just ask that you recruit everyone who should be recruited. For the sake of brotherhood, I will try my best to save you."

"Brotherhood?"

"Back then, it was the third brother and Qilang who wanted to harm you, so it has nothing to do with me." Hao Tianze became excited, and spread his hands out in a sincere manner.

"Okay, I'll recruit. This time, Liu Yuanli's soldiers and horses are just to contain you. The real ones who are in charge of attacking Taiyuan are the infantry from Sichuan and Shu. They will go straight to Taiyuan from Jingxing."

"Fake, I haven't gotten any news at all."

"Ha, the Sichuan soldiers are walking like flying in the high mountains and dangerous places, let alone Shanxi? With their swift march, can you get news? You think Niangzi Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let me tell you, before the Sichuan soldiers arrive at the pass, the Taihang grassroots The news of Niangziguan has been intercepted from the back and the Sichuan soldiers are attacking from both sides."

Hao Tianze already had some confidence, and said: "But I didn't get the news that Niangziguan was lost, how could Tang Jun arrive in Taiyuan soon."

"Shouyang has fallen, I asked Xu Yan to persuade Liu Youzhang..."

"I do not believe!"

Hao Tianze got up in shock and took two steps back, but he thought of Hao Tianting's previous analysis, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Wulang." Hao Tianyi said: "This is the general trend of the world. It is precisely because I understand this trend that I disregarded your opposition and surrendered to Your Majesty. To me, it can only be said that those who know me say I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. What I want is definitely not my own self-interest, but to protect the Hao family."

"Brother, I..." He Tianze swallowed, and said, "Did I blame you?"

Hao Tianyi thought back to Hao Tianting's sentence "If I say I'm willing to surrender", I knew it was just a joke, but it vaguely pointed out the anxiety of the Hao family.

"It's still too late for you to repent." Hao Tianyi's tone was calm, not like a prisoner, and he said slowly: "There is an opportunity to make meritorious service in front of you..."
