Training Wu Zhou

The ship headed north all the way, and Chang Ying scratched a line on the deck with his nails during the day and night connection.

Feeling the cooler weather, Chang Ying sighed softly: "It's almost here."

It was early spring at this time, and on the river, it was inevitable that the cool breeze would blow.

Tang Guan also put on an extra layer of clothes. The big ship stopped and stopped along the way, and also docked for transshipment.

When the road met a bustling town, he and Xiaoqi couldn't bear it anymore, and got off the boat to wait and see.

"Brother Chang, where is this?"

Chang Ying looked around and said, "I passed Banzhu yesterday, and I'm already on the Guangtong Canal."

Tang Guan's heart skipped a beat, and he finally arrived. Thinking of Pei Yan's words, he couldn't help but sit down in a daze.

During the nearly two-month voyage, from early spring until now, the sky has gradually darkened.

Just as Tang Guan was meditating, a little cold hit his face.

Tang Guan looked up, "Brother Chang, go back to the cabin, it's raining"

"It doesn't matter, the spring rain is not heavy." Chang Ying ignored him, stood on the deck, looked at the soldiers guarding all directions, and shook his head slightly.

Most of these soldiers are thin and thin, some are old, weak and disabled soldiers, and the ones in the cabin with bows and knives are the serious escort officers and soldiers.

"Chang's bodyguard, Mr. Xiaolang, is going to Chang'an."

One person came forward and said that he was the leader of this group of officers and soldiers.

Chang Ying clasped his hands and said, "General, I'm tired all the way."

The man hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I am not of a high rank, how dare I call you a general?"

Chang Ying grinned, looked back at Jiang An and said, "Maybe we can anchor today?"

The food security officer looked at the sky, nodded and said: "After entering the Yellow River, after passing this canal, we will arrive at Luoyang immediately, about two or three hours away."

"Wei Shi" Tang Guan muttered when he heard this time.

At the same time, with a slight throbbing in his heart, Chang Ying pulled Tang Guan up and said, "Go back to the cabin."

Tang Guan nodded and returned to the cabin with Chang Ying.

Chen Yunsheng in the cabin was fidgeting at this moment, Xiaoqi secretly snickered looking at his appearance.

Seeing Tang Guan Changying return to the cabin, he got up and said, "Brother Guan, are you coming?"

Tang Guan nodded slightly, but Chen Yunsheng murmured: "The deadline is over, the deadline is over"

Chang Ying's complexion also changed slightly. He knew that Tianhou's [-]-day deadline had already passed for three days. Along the way, he and Tang Guan also got acquainted, and comforted him: "Yushi, Mr. Xiaolang has a great talent, as long as you are safe Arriving is a great achievement.”

Only then did Chen Yunsheng calm down, remembering the letter delivered by Pei Yan, he couldn't bear to open it several times to read it, he never thought that because he didn't want to go to Yangzhou, he thought of Juxian Tang Guan, but The experience along the way was a bit more dangerous than that of going to office.

It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss, but fortunately it is about to arrive safely now, looked at Tang Guan and said: "Qu Bing, when you arrive in Chang'an, you must be careful in your words and deeds, you know?"

"Uncle, don't worry, Qubing knows what's going on." Although Tang Guan felt a little uneasy, he was not as anxious as Chen Yunsheng. After all, he came to see the woman with a different mentality.

For a while, several people were silent, except for Xiao Qi who would babble a few words from time to time, Tang Guan and Chen Yunsheng had their own thoughts and pondered endlessly.

Time passed quietly, the big ship made a final sprint, raised its sails, and the passengers below also rowed hard.

......

"Drop anchor!"

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who shook their heads.

The food security officer entered the cabin and said, "Censor, we're here!"

Several people heard the words and got up to leave the cabin, and the drizzle hit them.

"Censor, the horses have been prepared below, and I can't send them away while I'm on official business."

"Thank you" Chen Yunsheng cupped his hands and took Tang Guan Xiaoqi off the boat.

"Set the board!" The sailor raised the deck, and several people stepped off the ship.

The grain guard stood on the boat and said, "Farewell."

Then the deck was put away, and again, it turned out that their end point was not here.

Chang Ying led two horses and said, "Yu Shi, let's rest in the town for one night, and head to Chang'an tomorrow."

This wharf is an official wharf, except for a few people in official robes who saw a few people getting on and off the big boat from a distance, there was no one else there, but not far away was a market, presumably a small town.

Chen Yunsheng shook his head and said, "We can't delay, let's go now"

Chang Ying was taken aback when he heard the words, he had never seen this slow-moving old scholar so anxious when he went to Hangzhou.

"Qubing, get on the horse!" Chen Yunsheng got on the horse and picked up Tang Guan again.

"Censor, if you leave now, it is estimated that Chang'an has already curfew."

Chen Yunsheng didn't care about this because he had a tiger talisman, and shouted: "Drive!"

"It's all the same problem!" Tang Guan, who was staggering immediately, couldn't help cursing in his heart, these "drivers" didn't consider the feelings of "passengers" at all.

"Let's go!" Seeing this, Chang Ying shook his head slightly, and picked up Xiao Qi, not as slowly as Chen Yunsheng, and directly carried Xiao Qi with one hand, and strode onto the horse.

"drive!"

After all, Chen Yunsheng is a literati, even though he has been riding a horse for more than ten years, he is no match for Chang Ying, who eats on the street, and he was caught up in a short time.

"Haha, Brother Guan, you can't run as fast as I do!" Xiao Qi excitedly made a face at Tang Guan.

Tang Guan smiled at him, but Chen Yunsheng followed Chang Ying unhurriedly.

A few people bypassed the small town, went straight to the official road, and drove on the wide road amidst the dust.

"Censor, Liu Xun's subordinates should be punished for committing crimes. When you meet the Holy Majesty, you must read his book!"

On the horse, Chang Ying still couldn't forget the robbery, thinking about it too, after encountering such an ambush, it's no wonder Chang Ying's hatred for Liu Xun is hard to get rid of.

Chen Yunsheng didn't have the strength to speak in the turbulence, he just kept running forward.

The four of them walked farther and farther, turning into black dots and rushing into the distance. Tang Guan felt the whistling wind on the horse, and the fine raindrops hit his face, but his heart gradually became hot.

"Wu Zetian! I'm here!"

......

But in the governor's mansion far away in Hangzhou, something happened that caused an uproar among the people.

There is a saying in the streets and alleys: "Liu Xun's house was ransacked!"

No one knew what happened that night, but only knew that the next day, the governor's mansion, which was crowded with people, was surrounded by heavy troops!

Until now, soldiers in heavy armor are guarding the gate.

They are all powerful, and their armor is completely different from that of ordinary soldiers.

The strange thing is that they traveled unimpeded all the way, and even detained Liu Xun's family overnight, and now the high-ranking assassin Liu Xun is actually in prison.

Some people said that Liu Xun broke the law and angered the Holy Majesty, while others said that he wanted to rebel and was discovered by others.

There were different opinions for a while, but the fallen scholars and famous squires in the country were all horrified when they saw the appearance of these soldiers.

"Qianniuwei!" These people watched from a distance, their pupils shrinking.

These squires came to ask for the notice of Anmin. In fact, the surname of the county magistrate is not important, even the emperor's surname is not important. China has been a natural society since ancient times.

There is a saying that "imperial power does not come down to the county". The common people rely on the gentry to handle trivial matters. There is an ancestral hall in the village to manage people with the same surname.

Such as theft, marriage, cheating, etc., as long as the common people can manage it, they will manage it by themselves. Only the green forest heroes on the road, which the common people can't control, will be arrested by the government.

This kind of extremely flexible society is also a miracle in the history of feudalism. After experiencing it personally, Tang Guan often said: "No wonder the local tyrants and evil gentry must be overthrown!"

However, Liu Xun was the highest official of one party after all, and his suffering for no reason made the common people feel uneasy, so asking for a notice from An Min was the first thing the squires had to do.

These gentry waited eagerly and saluted each other, one of them said: "Why didn't Tang Yuanwai come?"

An old man heard the words and said in a low voice: "I guess he was laughing at home, the little man in his family killed himself a few days ago."

These old squires suddenly realized when they heard this, and another person said: "Didn't you be called into Beijing?"

"Could it be!?" Everyone chattered, looked at each other, and then shook their heads. They knew about the Tang family's affairs, but the time was probably not up yet, and the fact that Liu Xun's house was ransacked should have nothing to do with the Tang family.

Just as several people were whispering, a general came out with a document in hand.

"Several old men, the notice has been written, take it. Let the people not worry, we are just doing routine searches, and new officials will take office in a short time."

Several old country gentry nodded their heads and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when they saw the appearance of this group of soldiers, they knew it well.

As long as it is not warlords causing chaos and changing dynasties, this kind of thing is enough for people like them who have lived for seven or eighty years.

Then they bid farewell one after another, and returned to the townships with notices to declare.

......

In state prison.

The dark prison cell was no longer guarded by government servants, and it was replaced by heavily armed soldiers.

A man with disheveled hair and obscene clothes was imprisoned.

"Pei Yan! You're the one who committed the crime! Detain the official of the imperial court without permission! You will die!"

The man looked like he was insane, and kept shaking the cage.

The two generals over there looked at each other and ignored him.

"Bring them all up," one waved his hand.

In an instant, a large number of people rushed in, each carrying a bulging sack on their backs.

"boom!"

These people moved in unison, threw the sacks behind them, and filled the aisle of the prison.

Immediately lined up and walked out.

A general stepped forward, stretched out his hand to untie a sack, and instantly the stench filled his nostrils.

"Inspector Liu, do you know these people?"

Liu Xun stopped roaring immediately, looked at the corpse in the bag in disbelief, and fell into a daze...
