As the shout fell, a group of cavalry appeared from the pass. There were about a hundred people, and they arrived at the peace talks in a blink of an eye. The expressions of everyone present changed. Came over to protect his master.

It's just that the team of cavalry didn't pay attention to the Xixia people, but spread out and surrounded Wen Chengyan and others, with long knives out of the sheath in their hands, and a stern and murderous look looming on their faces, but none of them were soldiers from Lanzhou Mansion.

Xu Zizhen's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously sensed that something was wrong. The imperial decree came at this juncture, if it didn't come sooner or later, and there was no need to ask. There were imperial envoys behind him. It seemed that this posture was aimed at Wen Chengyan without asking. Even guilty.

The Xixia soldiers didn't dare to slack off, they all drew their swords to be on guard, but the cavalry team didn't even look at them, suddenly parted in the middle, opening up a lane, and several horsemen and horses came out from the pass and passed through the crowd. In front of Wen Chengyan, the leader was about mid-year-old, with a thin face, mung bean-like eyes, and a wretched appearance, with a few sparse strands of goatee blowing gently in the wind, Xu Zizhen knew at a glance that this guy was not a good bird.

"Brother Wen, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?" Goatee narrowed his eyes and smiled at Wen Chengyan.

Wen Chengyan was obviously taken aback, but then he retracted his knees and gave a deep salute: "I will see Mr. Xu!"

Zhong Zhong whispered in Xu Zizhen's ear, "This is Xu Bingzhe, governor of Qinzhou, who belongs to the confidant of the right minister Wang Fu."

When Xu Zizhen heard the name Wang Fu, his heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's that old bastard again, why is there something about him everywhere?"

The teacher said: "Don't be impatient, just listen to what he has to say."

Xu Zizhen took a deep breath, and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. The Qinzhou government was in charge of the state capitals on Qinfeng Road, and Wen Chengyan was naturally under the direct jurisdiction of Xu Bingzhe, and now he even brought his own soldiers. No good at all.

"Oh, brother Wen, what are you doing? Are you and my brother still so polite?" Xu Bingzhe hypocritically stretched out his hand to help Wen Chengyan, but he still sat on the horse without moving. A piece of yellow silk, with a solemn face, shouted loudly, "Wen Chengyan, the prefect of Lanzhou, accepts the order!"

As soon as Wen Chengyan stood up straight, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground, shouting long live, and everyone in the audience also knelt down. Xu Zizhen didn't want to kneel down to this kind of person, but now is not the time to be impulsive, so he had to Enduring also knelt down.

Xu Bingzhe recited the imperial decree aloud on horseback, all of which were parallel, four, and six. Xu Zizhen didn't understand a word, but he had to continue to kneel, and was impatient when he heard Xu Bingzhe recite: "...Wen Chengyan protects the city well To protect the safety of the people, his heart can be encouraged and his meritorious deeds can be commended, and he will go to Beijing to report on his work, and he will be promoted to others..."

Xu Zizhen was startled, this was a sentence he could barely understand, but it was not a good thing, at least in his opinion, Wen Chengyan had only known about the Lanzhou government affairs for a few months, and suddenly transferred him without any warning. Returning to Beijing is completely inconsistent with the tenure system of the Song Dynasty and does not conform to common sense.

Moreover, Xu Bingzhe is the dog of the old thief Wang Fu, and the edict he came to read must have the meaning of an old thief. Wen Chengyan severely offended a bunch of old thieves during the incident in Suzhou Mansion, so he must be transferred back now. Nothing good will happen.

The imperial decree had already been recited, Wen Chengyan thanked him for accepting the decree, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. This unexpected event seemed to have been expected by him.

"I don't know what to call this strong man?"

Xu Zizhen was still thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard Xu Bingzhe calling him, he was upset, and subconsciously answered: "Old... I'm Xu Zizhen."

An inexplicable smile suddenly hung on Xu Bingzhe's face: "Oh? So your Excellency is Xu Zizhen? Long time, long time!"

not good!

Xu Zizhen caught a glimpse of the smile on Xu Bingzhe's face, and his heart froze. Before he had time to react, the cavalry next to him suddenly flew out dozens of long ropes. Xu Zizhen was caught off guard and was tied up tightly, unable to stand firmly on his feet. He fell headfirst to the ground, and several people galloped over to pick him up and tied him tightly.

Wen Chengyan and Zhong Shizhong were shocked and shouted at the same time: "Master Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Bingzhe changed his smile from a moment ago, and his face became very gloomy, but he ignored the two of them, went straight to the front of Xixia people, put his hands behind his back, and said arrogantly: "Leave the silver horses and go. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won’t send them away.” He said with a wave of his hand, and several of his personal guards escorted the three prisoners from the Lanzhou garrison.

The expressions in the eyes of the three of them were different when they passed by Xu Zizhen's side. Xiang Size frowned and glanced at Xu Zizhen, Eunuch Xie's face was gloating, and Xiao Xuan's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking.

The Xixia people took them over, but did not leave immediately, but stood aside and watched the excitement, Xu Bingzhe ignored them, turned around and walked to Xu Zizhen, and shouted: "Bold Xu Zizhen, are you guilty?"

Xu Zizhen looked angry: "What is my crime? Is it a crime to guard Lanzhou or is it a crime to fight Xixia?"

Xu Bingzhe sneered coldly, and didn't answer him. Wen Chengyan and Zhong Shizhong couldn't hold back any longer. They were about to argue, but they were separated by Xu Bingzhe's personal guards. This place is not far from Jincheng Pass. The soldiers in the pass saw it, and today was the handover of the Xixia peace talks, and even many people crowded into the pass to watch the excitement. Xu Zizhen was a hero in their hearts, and the kidnapping immediately caused a commotion in the pass.

"Cough! This officer will tell you what crime you are guilty of." Xu Bingzhe coughed, looked up at the crowd, then turned his head to look at Xu Zizhen, and said coldly, "The traitor Xu Zizhen sneaked into our Song Dynasty as a spy from another country. Spying on secrets and stealing military information in the territory, and even killing the officials of the Song court, the sinister and cunning crime is heinous!"

Whoa!

These few words floated into everyone's ears clearly along the direction of the wind, and when the door was closed, there was a commotion and yelling, did Xu Zizhen do it carefully?This is simply a joke in the world, who's secret agent would ride alone into the opponent's tens of thousands of troops to take the vanguard head?Whose spy will risk his life to sneak into the enemy's lair and capture the enemy's commander?

Not to mention anything else, everyone in Lanzhou now regards Xu Zizhen as a hero, Xu Bingzhe's words sounded like fart to them.

"Bah! Fuck your mother!" Xu Zizhen was already yelling, killing the imperial court official?Didn't it just kill the old thief Wang Fu's nephew?

His face was full of anger, but his eyes swept over Xiao Ye who was not far away without a trace, and his mind quickly turned. This accident was beyond his plan and would bring better results , but the biggest problem right now is how to get out?

A personal guard who was escorting him slammed the handle of a knife on his face, and the corner of his eye burst and blood gushed out. Xu Zizhen didn't even frown, and laughed angrily: "I'm desperately defending the city, but you call it a secret job!" , okay, okay, don’t you just want to kill me? Come on!”

Xu Bingzhe sneered and said, "That will be as you wish!" After speaking, he waved his hand, "There is no need for escort, and the execution will be executed on the spot, and the execution will be executed immediately!"
