Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 106 The Intangible Treasure is the Most Precious
In the carriage near the middle, the old and the young sat comfortably.

The old man was calm and calm, not panicking at all, but the young one was a little scared, his hands and feet couldn't help trembling.

"Scared?" Pei Ju looked at the attendant.

The entourage nodded very honestly.

boom!
An arrow shot through the carriage and stuck on the table.

The arrow is only a punch away from the follower's body.

"what!"

The entourage hugged their heads and fell to the ground in fright.

Pei Ju shook his head, lamenting that the young man was still too young, and said, "It was much more dangerous for me to travel to the Western Regions when I was sent as an envoy to the Turks than tonight."

Thinking of the ferocity of the Turks and the ruthlessness of the desert, Pei Ju also missed it. It was a youth he couldn't get back. Of course, he never thought about going back.

Sword, light and sword rain, he has walked like this for most of his life.

Bang bang bang!
A few more arrows were shot into the car, and the frightened attendants hid behind Pei Ju.

Hearing the screams and fighting outside, Pei Ju silently put a letter into his arms.This is his suicide note, if he dies tonight, he hopes this letter will be sent back to Wenxi.

In another carriage, Yang Gongren also waited for the result in fear.Going out now is to die, it is better to stay in the carriage.

boom!
Something hit the carriage, the candles on the desk were knocked out, and the interior of the carriage was plunged into darkness.

After a long time, Yang Gongren sighed slightly.

In the end, do we still have to die?

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of fighting outside gradually became much quieter.

Until a voice sounded.

"People in the car, get out of the car immediately!"

Hearing this, Yang Gongren knew the result had been decided.

No matter who wins, he has to face his own destiny.

It wasn't until he got out of the car that he realized that there was a dead body lying on top of his car, and four or five corpses were piled up under the car.The death was extremely tragic. He was hacked to death with a knife and stabbed to death with a spear.

The strong and pungent smell of blood made his stomach queasy.

"Mr. Yang."

Pei Ju yelled and walked over from a distance.

"Pei Gong." Yang Gongren hugged Pei Ju's arm, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly.

In the past, although Yu Wenhuaji also fled, it was rare to be ambushed like tonight.

"It looks like Yu Wenhuaji has lost."

Pei Ju looked at the banner of the Tang army fluttering in the wind under the light of the torch, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Yang Gongren nodded, relaxed and said, "Yes."

While the two were talking, they suddenly thought of the queen mother, and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the convoy.Not long after, the queen mother in a veil got out of the carriage.

The long veil of the hat covered the Queen Mother's body, making it difficult for people to see her appearance clearly.

Beside the queen mother, there is a woman wearing a victorian hat and a child.

"Queen, princess. Are you all right?" Pei Ju asked.

Empress Xiao said: "The Ai family is fine."

Hearing this, Pei Ju felt relieved and said, "Yuwen's rebels were defeated, and Tang Dynasty won."

Tang Dynasty?

Empress Xiao heard that there was no movement. In her opinion, the moment her husband died, she was already a lonely ghost.

At this moment, the crowd parted, and a young knight came riding a horse.

On its left and right, many giants guarded it.

With the light of the fire, Pei Ju could barely see the knight's face clearly.To his surprise, the man was so young.

The scene was silent, only the trampling of horses' hooves, or the sound of burning torches.

As he approached, the knight reined in his horse and stopped.

Senhan armor, the handle is cold.

"Are you Sui officials?" Li Zhiyun glanced at Empress Xiao, Pei Ju and the others, and basically already had the answer in their hearts.

Yang Gongren came out and said: "We are the officials of the Sui Dynasty, and this is the Empress Dowager of the Sui Dynasty."

After listening to Yang Gongren finished speaking, Empress Xiao silently looked at the young knight.

Li Zhiyun got off his horse, threw the horizontal knife to Li Zhen, walked up to Empress Xiao, cupped his hands and said, "I'm wearing armor, so it's inconvenient to salute, please forgive me, Empress Xiao."

Empress Xiao nodded lightly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said: "This king is the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty. I have come to rescue you by the order of the sages of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone, don't be afraid, don't worry."

King of Chu!

Pei Ju stroked his beard silently. He remembered that when Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, all his sons became princes.

According to rumors, this king of Chu seems to be the fifth child.

Li Zhiyun said to Empress Xiao: "Mistress Xiao, the Yuwen traitor has escaped, and this king has already ordered people to hunt him down. Please rest assured, empress."

Empress Xiao nodded, "Thank you."

Afterwards, with a big wave of Li Zhiyun's hand, Tang Jun took the Sui officials, clan, and prisoners of war to Yongji County for a temporary rest.

On the other side, Qin Qiong, Xie Shufang, and Luo Shixin are leading the army to chase and kill Yu Wenhuaji crazily.

Chasing all the way, they didn't stop until a fish-white glow appeared in the sky.

"General Qin, we can't chase anymore. Qinghe is ahead, and Dou Jiande is entrenched there." Xie Shufang said.

Qin Qiong said unwillingly: "Yuwen dog thief's war horse is so powerful, we chased it all night but failed to catch up."

Xie Shufang said: "It is rumored that Yu Wenhuaji's war horses are the BMWs of Emperor Sui Yang. It is understandable that we cannot catch up."

"How should we explain to Your Highness?" Luo Shixin asked.

Xie Shufang scratched his head and said helplessly, "Tell me the truth."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only lead the soldiers and horses back the same way.

Yongji County.

This dilapidated city was rarely bustling.Tang Jun buried pots in the city to cook and treat the wounded.

After a sleepless night, Li Zhiyun was full of energy.

After feeding water to a wounded man, Du Ruhui found him.

"My lord, my subordinates have already counted Yu Wenhua and the belongings left behind." Du Ruhui swallowed his saliva and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Fuck, so many?"

Li Zhiyun was overwhelmed by Xiao Qianqian, and couldn't help uttering beautiful words.

Du Ruhui pulled him out of the crowd and talked in a secluded place.

"After investigation by my subordinates, it was found that this batch of gold, silver and jade wares was only [-]% of the warehouse in Jiangdu. According to the prisoner in charge of the luggage, they were snatched by Li Mi on the road, and they threw away a batch when they fled to buy food. At that time, another batch was lost, and there was only a little left.”

"A little?" Li Zhiyun said: "This is Datang's annual tax revenue, and it's a lot more!"

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, according to the treasures that Emperor Sui Yang brought to Jiangdu, this is indeed one point."

That's right, there's nothing wrong with it.

Yang Er, that prodigal son, spends his days blindly.

"so much money"

"Your Majesty." Du Ruhui interrupted abruptly, and said, "All these luggage must be handed over to the King of Huai'an, and nothing can be left behind."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun felt a little bit reluctant.

"Can't even keep a car?"

"No!" Du Ruhui explained: "The king of Huai'an is in charge of the frontal battlefield, but now Yu Wenhuaji has fallen into the hands of the king. The king of Huai'an will definitely think that the king has taken credit for him, and there will be resentment in his heart. The only way to hand over all the baggage personnel to the king of Huai'an , is the most appropriate."

"Then the king didn't get anything this time?"

"No, Your Majesty got two things."

"what?"

Du Ruhui said: "Hand over all the luggage personnel to the King of Huai'an, and he will naturally reciprocate and report the king's military exploits truthfully. This is the first thing. Second, these Sui officials know very well that it was the King who saved them, not the King of Huai'an. Third, Your Majesty, these treasures are a burden, if anyone is greedy for ink, once it is found out in the future, the sage will never let him go."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun understood in seconds.

"The king understands."

"It's good that the king understands."

Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "This king almost went the wrong way."

Du Ruhui comforted: "Money touches people's hearts, even the subordinates, seeing those treasures, can't hold on to themselves."

Li Zhiyun laughed and said, "Intangible treasures are the most precious."

He looked at Du Ruhui affectionately with his eyes, the latter blushed and bowed his head in silence.
