Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 330 Apprehend the traitors
"Master Xiyun! It's getting late today, so we'll rest in Tingzhou City for one night and start our journey tomorrow." Qiao Baoming and others entered Tingzhou City, Qiao Baoming said luckily to Ashina.

"Everything is subject to the arrangement of the angel." Ashina said luckily.

"Go to the posthouse!" Qiao Baoming rode his horse towards the posthouse.

Not long after they entered the city, a group of fully armed and armored soldiers came towards them on the way.

"Excuse me, is this the envoy Qiao Baoming who went to Turkic?" asked the general who stopped Qiao Baoming and his party.

"It's the envoy! What are you trying to do when you are fully armed and blocking our way?" Qiao Baoming asked.

Don't think he was a bit cowardly when he was in Yaochi Dudu's Mansion, but in Datang territory, he was tougher than anyone else.

Because he is an envoy, representing the emperor.

"At the order of the governor, I came to arrest the son of the rebellious minister, and please don't make things difficult for me." The general said.

"Son of a rebellious minister? What kind of son of a rebellious minister?" Qiao Baoming didn't realize it all at once.

"Ashina Helu rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and was surrounded and suppressed by General Liang Jianfang, General Zuo Wuhou, and General Qibi Heli, the general of Gongyue Road Marching."

"The governor specially ordered me to come and capture the son of the traitor Ashina Helu——Ashina Helu, please come, come and take it for me." The general roared.

The soldiers immediately surrounded them all, and pointed their sharp knives at Ashina Yunyun and his men.

In the surrounding houses, many crossbowmen appeared on the roofs. The arrows were already on the strings, exuding a cold light, and the sharp arrows were also aimed at Ashina Xiyun and others.

As long as they dare to make any changes, they will be shot into a hornet's nest by arrows from all directions.

Ashina Youyun and the others did not dare to act rashly, for fear that if they moved a little, the arrows shot from all directions would kill them on the spot.

Qiao Baoming was stunned by this stance, he might have to explain it here today.

"This general, is there any misunderstanding? This envoy is going to Mobei on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and asks the governor of Yaochi, Ashina Helu's son Ashina to be transported to Beijing to stay in the guard."

"How did you become a traitor when you were fine? Is there any misunderstanding?" Qiao Baoming asked.

Up to now, he is still kept in the dark, not knowing exactly what happened.

"No mistake! Your Majesty's edict is here. The edict orders Ashina to be arrested, and the rest of the irrelevant people leave immediately. Don't hinder us from arresting rebellious officials and thieves." The general said holding the edict.

Qiao Baoming was taken aback!Now he finally understood what was going on. It was a huge conspiracy that the emperor sent him to appease Ashina Helu.

The emperor wanted to exterminate the Turks of Ashina Helu, and needed a sufficient reason to crusade Ashina Helu.

Is there any better excuse than killing the envoy of the Celestial Dynasty? The emperor may not have thought of making him, an envoy, unable to return.

Immediately rode out and rushed out, staying away from Ashina, so as not to be wiped out as an accomplice.

"Ashina is lucky, you put down your weapons and surrender as soon as possible, and you will not die." The general roared.

"Stop talking nonsense, brothers, we have been fooled by the people of the Tang Dynasty, follow me to protect the eldest prince and fight out of the city." Ashina's lucky entourage roared, drawing out his saber.

With a whoosh, a sharp arrow pierced his throat and was shot dead on the spot. He shook on the horse and fell off the horse.

When the others saw their companions being shot, they did not dare to act rashly. In the end, Ashina took off the saber from his waist and threw it on the ground.

"All lay down your weapons for me." Ashina said to the followers around him, and dismounted himself.

Seeing that their masters had already surrendered, and there was no need for them to resist stubbornly, they dropped their weapons one after another, and followed Ashina's fate, and got off their horses.

"Put them all into the prison, and let them go after listening." The general waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately escorted all the Turkic people who gave up resistance to the prison and left.

The general turned around and came to Qiao Baoming, clasped his fists and saluted, "Envoy, my governor is waiting for the envoy at the yamen, please follow me to see the governor."

"Lead the way ahead," Qiao Baoming said.

The general got on his horse, walked in front, and headed for the governor's mansion, Qiao Baoming followed behind him.

In the governor's mansion, Qiao Baoming met Luo Hongyi, the governor of Tingzhou. After the two of them greeted each other, Qiao Baoming got straight to the point.

"Inspector Luo, I don't know when you received His Majesty's order to convict Ashina Xunyun as a traitor?" Qiao Baoming asked, he wanted to confirm whether it was as he had guessed in his heart.

"Before you went to Mobei and passed through our Tingzhou, His Majesty sent an envoy to send an edict urgently within eight hundred miles."

"Say that you are about to go to Mobei, you will pass by me, and when you come back, you will bring Ashina back."

"Specially order me to wait here, and when Ashina's fate enters the city, I will take it down immediately." Luo Hongyi said.

Through the conversation, Qiao Baoming could confirm that, just as he guessed in his heart, his mission was just a cover, and his real purpose was to eliminate Ashina Helu.

"If, if I die in Yaochi Dudu's Mansion, what should I do?" Qiao Baoming asked.

"Your Majesty said that if the envoy dies in Ashina Helu's territory, Zuo Wuhou General Liang Jianfang and others will immediately dispatch troops to wipe out Ashina Helu's troops."

"If an envoy unfortunately dies in the line of duty, the imperial court will give him a grand funeral, and your family will become the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court will treat your family well."

"Besides, your son can also let one of them become an official in the future because you died for Datang."

"The imperial court will also grant you a title, and the title will be inherited by this son." Luo Hongyi laughed.

I believe many people are willing to offer such a generous reward. After all, if you die alone, you can get the whole family, and even the prosperity and wealth of the whole family, which is worth it.

"If I'm not mistaken, the battle has already started at the Yaochi Governor's Mansion!" Qiao Baoming said.

"That's right! Just after you left and entered the control area of ​​our Tingzhou, why did Liang Jianfang and Qili wait for others to launch a crusade against Ashina Helu and other traitors."

"Calculating the time, if everything goes well, my Great Tang army has already conquered the Yaochi Governor's Mansion."

"If nothing else appears, Ashina Helu has either been beheaded or captured alive!" Luo Hongyi said.

At this point, there is no need to continue talking about the topic. Qiao Baoming did not continue to ask what the ending will be, and he knows what the result will be without guessing.

So, Qiao Baoming excused that he was tired and needed to rest, and Luo Hongyi ordered someone to take Qiao Baoming down to rest, so as to take care of him.
