Chapter 264 Loyalty, Loyalty, Can You Be Loyal?
Seeing the person being pulled over, Li Yan supported him, and passed through a burst of Danyuan energy.

If you don't wake up, you will pinch people hard.

Cheng Wuzhong, who was in a depressed mood, finally woke up.

The first sentence is: "This is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty will never let our fields be invaded."

Li Yan also agreed: "Your Majesty definitely doesn't know about this..."

Beiya is the personal guard of the Tang emperor, and Li Zhi is an emperor who attaches great importance to imperial power. He will never allow anyone to touch the field of Baiqi.

Cheng Wuzhong was overjoyed when he heard the words, as if grasping at straws: "Li Jiyi thinks so too..."

But before he was happy, Li Yan continued: "But I'm afraid this is true. The two hundred riders betrayed at the same time, and the motives are very consistent. Otherwise, such a big event will not only kill him, but also implicate his family and relatives! "

Cheng Wuzhong opened his mouth, but he was speechless after all.

Li Yan sighed: "My Duke Wei's mansion has recruited many veterans, because the treatment of soldiers in the mansion has become worse and worse in recent years."

"According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers who returned from victory should have been rewarded with land, money and food, but in fact, a large number of military households fought on the battlefield, but did not receive the land, money and food they deserved, and returned home disabled, with a miserable end..."

"What our Duke of Wei's mansion has done is just a drop in the bucket, and the mansion of Xingguo is the same. Before General Su died of illness, he was also worried about the land arrangement of his soldiers!"

"This is not what His Majesty wants to do, but a problem that exists in all classes. I believe it is not an exception that the fields of meritorious soldiers are invaded by brave and arrogant children."

Cheng Wuzhong hissed: "I have heard about these things, but... it shouldn't be our Baiqi!"

This is an extremely selfish statement, but it is the truth.

Even if the government military system begins to collapse, and many military households are not treated fairly, they should be the last to suffer as a hundred horsemen in the Beiya.

The same is true of the development in history. The reason why the North Yamen occupies an increasing proportion is because after the collapse of the Fubing system, the Zhechong Mansions in various places survived in name only, and gradually even the Nanya Forbidden Army became empty shells, and the Beiya naturally occupied it. The big head not only guarded the safety of the emperor and Miyagi, but even stationed in other places.

In the end, the one who suffered the disaster sat down.

But now the sixteen guards in Nanya are neat and tidy, and the Zhechong mansions in various places are still powerful, and the unlucky ones are the low-level military households.

That's why Cheng Wuzhong couldn't understand, who was so bold and dared to touch the field of Beiya Baiqi?
Li Yandao: "I'm afraid this is not a coincidence, but intentional. When I was in Tubo, a similar situation happened."

Cheng Wuzhong hurriedly said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Li Yandao: "The Tubo official, under the command of the Gar family, has a group of hidden guards who specialize in espionage and infiltration work."

"This group of people is very powerful. From their pervasive infiltration of Tuyuhun, we can see that if there is a normal confrontation, there must be a fierce battle between the inner guard and the dark guard."

"However, Tubo Tsampo endured humiliation and endured humiliation. When we were on the mission, we formed an alliance with him and directly rescued the wives and children who were controlled by the dark guards. He gave them fair treatment. The dark guards turned and betrayed the Gar family."

Cheng Wuzhong understood: "What Li Jiyi meant, now the thieves are using similar means to draw wages from our family's land! But once this matter is discovered, His Majesty will be furious... Ah! Your Majesty has been sick for several months. Are they taking this opportunity?"

The leader of the Baiqi suddenly realized, showing fear: "Your Majesty is in a coma, and Baiqi was instigated to rebel, there must be a connection between the two!"

Dare to hit the idea on Baiqi, the purpose behind this is really frightening to think about.

The point is, the saint is sick, even if he reports this matter, will he decide for them?

Especially now that traitors have appeared in Baiqi!

His face was cloudy and worried, but Li Yan said directly: "The most urgent thing is to solve the matter on the cottage first, and find out all the forbidden troops who defected to the enemy."

Cheng Wuzhong frowned and said: "Wu Liulang has been captured, Guo Wulang has already escaped, there must be another way out of this secret passage, and now chasing it at night, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up."

Li Yan said in a low voice: "Leader Cheng, don't forget that you only sent thirty people up the mountain when you attacked the stronghold..."

Cheng Wuzhong was startled, and his body froze suddenly: "Could it be that..."

Li Yan nodded: "We must prepare for the worst. There may be more than two traitors among the hundred riders!"

Among the thirty elite hundred riders who went up the mountain, two traitors emerged!

Are those seventy elite hundred riders at the foot of the mountain so innocent?
After saying this, Li Yan got ready, in case this guy would pull over again.

"The thieves instigated many people, but I was completely kept in the dark, obviously because I have a high prestige among the hundred knights, and they didn't plan to stay afterwards!"

However, Cheng Wuzhong muttered to himself, anger at the traitor, fear of the future and worry about himself, on the contrary completely aroused his evil spirit.

The eyes of the leader of the Hundred Riders turned red. It was sad before, but now it is ferocious: "I will never sit still!"

Li Yan put his hands behind his back again, and praised: "Leader Cheng is not chaotic in the face of danger, he is really a general."

Cheng Wuzhong said sincerely: "This time I am most fortunate to meet Li Jiyi halfway."

"If Wushanzhai disappears, the truth can be revealed, I'm afraid I won't know how I will die in the future..."

"I also hope that Li Jiyi will help me find the traitor again. I will repay the great kindness of saving my life!"

This made Li Yan think so, he nodded and said: "As an internal guard, this is also within my duties."

Cheng Wuzhong clenched his fists heavily.

When he returned to the village owner's room, his expression had completely returned to normal, and he looked at the Baiqi under his command, as before.

But the eyes of everyone in the room looking at Wu Liulang were mixed with surprise and anger, showing a deep sense of perplexity.

However, Li Yan also noticed a few unnatural gazes.

After all, he was a soldier, not a professional spy, so it was difficult to completely conceal his expression.

Of course, these people may not all be betrayed, it can only be said that the suspicion is very high, and those who have different expressions must be recorded.

Cheng Wuzhong made arrangements: "Yuan Dalang and Xu Sanlang, you each lead a fire, search for the whereabouts of the traitor Guo Wulang, and try your best to retrieve Zheng Sanlang's body."

"Yes!"

The two took the order, each brought ten elites, and set off without fear.

Everyone began to wait silently.

Li Yan looked the most calm and continued to practice.

Cheng Wuzhong was also expressionless, with his lips tightly pursed.

The rest of the elite hundred knights could not help but look worried and feel uneasy.

Finally, after more than two hours, there was movement in the dark passage, and soon footsteps were heard.

Everyone was on guard, and saw a group of people headed by Yuan Dalang and Xu Sanlang coming out in a file, even carrying a seriously injured person.

The Baiqi around the entrance were surprised at first, and then burst into cheers: "Zheng Sanlang! Zheng Sanlang is not dead!"

The one being carried was none other than one of the two missing forbidden soldiers, Zheng Sanlang whose right hand had been cut off.

At this time, his armor was half off, his body was bowed, his wrists were randomly wrapped with clothes, and they were fixed in a thick ball on his chest. His face was pale, and he looked at Cheng Wuzhong who was standing in the front: "Commander, I have let you down! "

Cheng Wuzhong hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, just come back, just come back! Your hand?"

Zheng Sanlang looked miserable: "It was Guo Lao Wu who chopped it up..."

Seeing the blood oozing from Zheng Sanlang's broken wrist, Cheng Wuzhong's eyes turned red, and he shouted angrily, "Wu honestly! You and Guo Wulang did a good job. He is a sharpshooter. He will never be able to shoot a bow again!"

Zheng Sanlang also looked over, but Wu Liulang lowered his head and did not make eye contact with him.

Cheng Wuzhong let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that among my brothers, I would end up in such a field!"

After Zheng Sanlang was helped down, Cheng Wuzhong asked: "Where did you find him?"

Yuan Dalang replied: "This secret passage leads directly to the mountainside. There is a place of residence and a prison inside. We found him in the prison. Zheng Sanlang was too weak, so we didn't have time to go to other places and came back in a hurry."

Cheng Wuzhong asked: "Did Guo Wulang not find it?"

Yuan Dalang shook his head: "No, I'm afraid I ran far away long ago. The cave is well ventilated, so there must be another exit!"

Cheng Wuzhong frowned: "Then it's hard to chase!"

Li Yan asked from the side: "Besides, did you find any abnormalities after entering the secret passage? For example, there were obvious signs of dragging and moving heavy objects on the ground? Or traces left by a large number of people living there, weapons Yuya wait..."

Yuan Dalang shook his head: "We paid attention along the way and did not find any similar traces, but there is a lot of food stored in it. The quantity is so large that the people in this village can eat it for at least four or five years!"

Cheng Wuzhong said sternly: "There is a famine in the outside world, and there is such a large amount of food stored in this mere bandit's den. It really is a big problem. We must find out where the food comes from!"

Li Yandao: "It's getting late now, since we have rescued the victim, let's rest for now, and tomorrow we will go to the mountainside led by the secret passage, search carefully, and find out the secrets of this village."

Cheng Wuzhong nodded: "That's the truth, let's all go to rest!"

All the imperial guards dispersed one after another and went to their respective houses.

Soon, the candles in the largest village owner's house also dimmed.

Li Yan and Cheng Wuzhong slept here, not far away.

Li Yan's breathing quickly became steady, but after Cheng Wuzhong lay down, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Cheng Wuzhong's heart sank when he thought of how weak the sage was sitting in the tent with the help of a maidservant before he left.

On the one hand, it was because of Li Zhi's body, and on the other hand, it was because of Li Zhi's confession.

Let them replace the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace and become the prince's personal bodyguards.

Not only can it act as an eyeliner to monitor the prince, but it can also directly control the prince if necessary.

That's why there was a situation where the bandit was massacred before, and the left and right guards wanted to question the dereliction of duty.

Just imagine that the sage doesn't even trust his own sons, how could he trust them?

Suddenly, Cheng Wuzhong whispered in a low voice: "Can His Royal Highness be the master for us?"

After the words fell, his heart beat wildly: "How did I say this, what should I do if Li Yuanfang hears it!"

He held his breath and listened carefully, not far away, the sound of breathing was still steady.

Cheng Wuzhong heaved a sigh of relief, quickly turned over, turned his back to Li Yan, and murmured in his mouth: "I am loyal, I must be loyal, I am loyal, I must be loyal..."
