Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8
"Chen Yichang is right."

Cui Canjun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, tremblingly said: "They are going to kill Lord Siyu today, but where will they do it?"

Han Shimei said: "There is only one scribe, six personal guards and three servants in the government."

"My lord, why don't you send some young men over here?"

"In this way, it will scare the snake away."

They were discussing, Chen Yichang shook his head: "My lord, I think that if it is what we thought before, and the other party has no scruples, then no matter what precautions are taken now, it will be useless, the only way is to go first. "

"This official shoulders a heavy responsibility, how can he leave his post without authorization."

Han Shimei thought for a while, and then asked back: "Even if it's as we thought before, if the other party has scruples, don't want to make much noise for the time being?"

How could Cui Canjun fail to understand what he meant, and said with a bitter face: "If the other party has any scruples, if your lord really leaves, you will not only startle the snake, but also make things so that there is no room for maneuver. If things really change If it gets out of hand, the four towns of Anxi will become the three towns of Anxi, and my lord will become a sinner through the ages."

"It's too dangerous to stay here."

"No matter how dangerous it is, you can't leave, Yichang Chen, you don't need to persuade me anymore." Han Shimei was resolute and determined.

Yinniang was confused and didn't know what they meant by "impossible", but she could hear that the old supervisor who had just met was in a very dangerous situation, standing quietly in the corner, burning with anxiety.

Yichang Chen quickly weighed the pros and cons, and said in a low voice: "Since your lord has made up his mind, let's take a gamble, and bet that those villains have scruples."

"How to bet?"

"My lord, we are in a daze right now, we have no clue at all, we can only think about the good. If the other party has scruples and doesn't want to make too much noise, then it is neither possible for them to rush into the mansion, nor is it possible Do it in town."

"Makes sense."

"If there is no such thing, what are your plans for today?"

Han Shimei said without hesitation: "Today is Cao Wulan's 50th birthday. I was entrusted by Lord Zhongcheng to go to comfort him and to celebrate his birthday."

Cao Wulan is the real owner of this mansion, the current governor of Yele!
Like his fathers, he did not want to be "guarded" by the frontier army of the Tang Dynasty, and stayed in Baisha City, more than 50 miles away, to dominate and dominate, so people in Yele City used to call him King Yele.

Yichang Chen slapped his thigh, and said with a bitter face, "My lord, why didn't you say so sooner!"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as we thought just now."

"You mean that Cao Wulan is the mastermind behind the scenes, and he wants to rebel, does he have the guts?"

"Of course he doesn't have the guts, but what about his subordinates, if someone makes trouble with it."

Han Shimei understood as if enlightened, and stood up abruptly: "If something happens to me, he will naturally be responsible. And he is as timid as a mouse, so he will not dare to prove his innocence. It will not be him who did it." He did it."

Cui Canjun also reacted, and said to himself: "If something happens to your lord, he will die if he rebels or not. And anyway, he can barely be regarded as a king. He hasn't fought for several years. Could it be that someone wants to fight, wants to fight?" Want this great achievement in suppressing the rebellion?"

Han Shimei felt that this possibility was unlikely, so she couldn't help shaking her head: "Impossible, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense."

It should be light by now.

Yichang Chen didn't want to guess again, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it's impossible to make a quick decision. From the humble point of view, I still have to go to Baisha City this time, but we need to hurry up and make some preparations.

We might as well give them a trick and see who jumps out.Even if it is still impossible to find out who is behind the scenes, we still have a back hand, and we will be able to dig them out sooner or later. "

"What backhand?" Han Shimei asked puzzled.

"Sanlang, didn't he let the little lady deliver a message to the adults. Since those villains can find someone to pretend to be him, why can't he pretend to be that dead little beast instead."

"This plan is very good. Let's keep Quanzi as the second hand for now. Let's think about how to get through this level."

"My lord, I have already thought about it..."

Knowing that Lord Superintendent is going to congratulate King Yele on his birthday, Yichang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was confident and told the plan he had just thought up.

Han Shimei nodded repeatedly.

Cui Canjun applauded.

Yinniang was stunned when she heard that, she didn't recover until Cui Canjun and Yichang Chen left, and the superintendent's father quickly wrote a letter and handed it to her.

……

The sky is gray, the wild is vast, the wind is blowing and the grass is turbulent, but there are no cattle and sheep.

Han Ping'an drank his sorrows with wine at night, and got drunk again. When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly.

A few Turkic warriors were catching fish in the stream, and they didn't mind the coldness of the stream flowing from the distant snow river.

Su Dasushi was busy grilling the fish, but his skills had not improved over the years, so the fish was burnt.I saw him throwing the burnt fish away, picked up a killed fish and skewered it on the red willow branch, it seemed that he was going to grill it again.

What made Han Pingan unhappy was that he knew whether to eat or not to boil water, and his mouth was bitter and dry just after waking up.

Unboiled water can't be drunk even if killed. If you get sick after drinking it, you can only wait for death in pain, so you just pick up the last jar of grape wine and drink it again.

"Yichang Chen guessed that King Yele would rebel. Even if King Yele did not rebel, his subordinates might be instigated to rebel. The master knew it was dangerous, so he went to Baisha City to celebrate King Yele's birthday. You don't mind at all Don't worry, I actually want to drink grape wine..."

Yinniang was driven back reluctantly, and she stayed awake all night. She lay on the blanket and looked up at the blue sky with her knife tightly in her arms. She was so anxious that she even talked more than usual.

"Master, he is both my father and your father now, and you will be my elder sister from now on." Han Pingan glanced at the letter at his feet after reading it, put down the wine jar and yawned.

"How do you know!" Yinniang raised her head subconsciously.

"Our father said in the letter."

"Master, it's none of my business, it's the master who insists... insists..." Yinniang felt as if she had robbed someone's father, not to mention the guilt and embarrassment, and even her words became incoherent.

How could Han Ping'an fail to guess the good intentions of the supervisor's father, the father must have realized that it is very dangerous now, so he hastened to adopt this girl as an adopted daughter, so that she can protect himself wholeheartedly.

Since his heart is like a mirror, how could he be jealous.

Looking back, she saw that she was embarrassed and seemed willing to be Han Yinniang, so she simply grabbed the knife and threw it aside, then lay down, comfortably pillowed on her lap, and said intoxicatedly: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's a good thing. I like you to be my sister. It's nice to have a sister."

Yinniang was not used to it and wanted to push him away.

But thinking that he likes to sleep in the woman's arms, and Sannier, who was always sleeping on his pillow before, died again, she couldn't bear to push him away, so she could only look at him so awkwardly, and asked anxiously: "Master, are you not angry?"

Knowing that she was sorry, Han Pingan immediately turned over and lay on top of her like a clingy child. Looking at her red face, he said seriously and sincerely: "Why should I be angry? It's too late for me to be happy." .And you saved my life, and you deserve it."

"You saved me too." Yinniang has never been so close to others before, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"I saved you, but this time you not only saved me, but also our father. So it's not even, but this family owes you. Besides, our father doesn't know what to do, if he bet If we lose, our siblings will be dependent on each other."

"I owe you all."

Inexplicably, Yinniang felt the warm family affection, and felt that she was no longer that lonely child.

In her mind, Han Ping'an was just a child, but she suddenly had a strong desire to protect her, so she raised her arm and stroked Han Ping'an's prickly cut.

"Master, you are really not angry, you really like me to be your sister?"

"I might really get angry if I call you young master again."

Han Pingan liked to lie on a woman's body, but he didn't like to lie on a woman who smelled of sweat. He subconsciously turned over and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds with his pillow on her waist.

Yinniang felt much more at ease without having to face to face, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the name?"

"Brother, Saburo, Ping An, lunatic...I am your younger brother now, and you are my sister now. You can call me whatever you want, except that you are not allowed to call me Young Master."

"Then call Saburo."

"Okay."

"very nice."

"What's so good?"

"It's so nice to have a younger brother. I still feel like I'm dreaming." Yinniang couldn't control it anymore, and started crying again, and asked as she cried, "Sanlang, are you okay, I know you're not crazy. , you are the smartest, can you stop drinking and think of a way..."

The old guy is so good at buying people's hearts, he moved this girl.

Han Ping'an slandered, looked up at the clouds that were drifting towards Yele City, and pretended to be relaxed, "Don't worry, with Yichang Chen here, our father will be fine."

Yinniang didn't care to cry anymore, so she quickly wiped away her tears, sat up and looked down at him and asked, "Isn't Yichang Chen in charge of the posthouse? Why did the master ask him to discuss such an important matter? I'll listen to it from the sidelines." After a while, it seemed that it was his idea in the end."

Han Ping'an smiled and said, "You think he's really just a postmaster, but he's actually a spy from Yele Town."

"What does a spy spy do?"

"Resist espionage and suppress traitors, monitor Yele King's governors and assassins for any acts of disobedience. If you guessed correctly, the frontier troops are under his supervision. You have seen the night watchmen who go out of the city every day. Not only the night watchmen are under his control, but even the wandering men who patrol the fortresses and beacon fortresses are under his control."

"How did you know."

"Didn't you see that he circled around those Hu merchants staying in the post house every day, didn't you see that he was always trying to inquire about news in different ways? I knew that old guy was not simple."

"Then who does he listen to?" Yinniang asked curiously.

Han Pingan said proudly: "Of course I listen to my father, my father is the supervisor of the army."

Yinniang asked by analogy: "So our father is Ye Le's biggest spy."

Han Pingan really couldn't stand the smell of sweat on her body, rolled to the side, sat up and explained: "Our father was promoted to an official, and he has done the most noble prince's orthography, how could he be a secret agent.

The reason why he was able to order Chen Yichang, that old fox, was mainly because if his subordinates had no eyes and ears, how could they monitor the army and the place.

Then there is the old fox who can't see the light. He can only inquire about news and collect evidence.When something happened, even if the evidence was solid, he, a postmaster with a little sesame seed, had no right to deal with it. "

"Our father has the right to dispose of it?"

"Of course our father has the right. Those bloody bastards who forced your father to become a deserter were punished by our father."

"Really?"

"You don't even think about what to lie to you. My father stayed in Dadu Hufu well. Why did he come to this shitty place? In fact, he was ordered to clean up military discipline when he was in danger. Captain Guang cut two One, the brigade commander killed three, and the team leader and fire chief killed more than a dozen. He was stern and selfless, and everyone called him Han Qingtian."

"Han Qingtian, why don't I know."

"It's not too late to know now. Remember, if you mention our father to others in the future, you must let them know that our father is Han Qingtian who is upright, has a clear style, is upright, unselfish, loves soldiers like a son, and loves the people like a son!"
