After hearing the news, Liao Jin's first reaction was to cover his forehead.
"Deng Yan is a member of Yang Songcheng. After returning home from his official career, he often criticized our northern Xinjiang. After he was taken away, Yang Songcheng will definitely take advantage of the situation to cause trouble."
Huang Chunhui said solemnly: "The Deng Yan family often interferes in local government affairs, relying on their elders and betraying them. It is a good thing that they were taken away. However, Chang'an's questioning needs to be prevaricated. By the way... Liu Qing's recent luck seems to be bad."
Liao Jin nodded, "It's very bad."
Huang Chunhui was silent for a long time, "I'll hold off for now."
The official who came to report the matter said: "My lord, Deng Yan's wife and children are making a fuss, saying they want to go to Chang'an."
Huang Chunhui looked at Liao Jin and said calmly: "There is a way!"
Liao Jin stood up and said, "Someone from Deng Yan's family is in Liao. Blockade the Deng family and investigate!"
With this accusation covered up, regardless of whether this happened or not, the Deng family has recently stopped.
Huang Chunhui has never liked using such methods, but at this moment he nodded without hesitation, "Go ahead!"
After the officials left, Liao Jin sneered: "My biggest regret is that the Liao soldiers did not kill all the Deng family members."
"It won't harm the family." Huang Chunhui looked at Liao Jin, "You have the decisiveness to kill, but it is too widespread."
Liao Jin was silent.
"We must put the overall situation first in our work, and when it is critical, we will kill when it is necessary." Huang Chunhui said earnestly: "The Deng family is domineering, but they have not caused harm to the place.
The important thing is, killing the Deng family, what will it do to this matter? When doing things, you must look at the overall situation, and don't let your own temperament... Temperament is a treasure, but if you use it in the wrong place, it will be... a poisonous weed!"
"yes."
Returning to his check-in room, Liao Jin drank a cup of tea and read two documents.
"Deputy Ambassador."
An official appeared at the door.
The person in charge is Zheng Hao.
Liao Jin put down the document and asked, "Does Deng Yan's family know?"
"I know." Zheng Hao bowed slightly.
"Make preparations and wait for my instructions to launch... Find a prisoner on death row, give him preferential treatment, and tell him that he is a spy from the Northern Liao Dynasty."
Zheng Hao looked calm and said, "Yes."
"He contacted..." Liao Jin's eyes were slightly cold, "Deng Yan!"
…
If you want to cross the Tang-Liao border quietly and sneak all the way to Jinshan, you must avoid the patrol route of the Northern Liao army scouts.
Ding Qing worked very hard. After crossing into the Liao army's side, he was like a field mouse watching the wind, constantly looking around.
"This is where we walked last time." Ding Qing pointed to the front, "There is a small river there for easy access to water."
The old thief asked: "When did you come here?"
Ding Qing was a little confused, "The year before last, I was delivering goods to Jinshan City. This was a batch of private goods belonging to the guard. We had to avoid the Northern Liao scouts, so their people took me here."
Ding Ru was behind, and the father and daughter were separated, and they were considered half hostages.
He brought two thousand horses with him on this trip. Yang Xuan led a thousand horses in front, and Liu Qing led a thousand horses behind.
On the third day, they encountered Liao army scouts.
The scout discovered the scout.
"Stop!"
Yang Xuan raised his hand, and the old thief went over and punched Ding Qing without hesitation, bending his waist, and then roughly blocked the mouths of their father and daughter with a piece of cloth.
"Don't move."
There was no movement ahead.
"We are less than five miles away." The scout who spotted the enemy scout whispered.
Everyone looked ahead nervously.
This place has gone deep into the territory of Bei Liao. Once discovered, the Bei Liao cavalry will chase them to the ends of the earth.
How unfair!
Yang Xuan suddenly felt that this matter was really unfair.
The purpose of those people's attack on the old man is to have their own voice in northern Xinjiang, but why can't they do it in another way?
You have to make it bloody and piss off all the bosses in Northern Xinjiang before you give up.
Well, if this trip fails, Chang'an and Northern Xinjiang will have a long war of words.
There will be no winner in this war of words. The bosses in Northern Xinjiang will regard the four surnames in the family as mortal enemies, and so will the four surnames in the family.
So, what did they get?
Yang Xuan felt that people had to have interests in doing things, but Yang Song became the leader of a family with four surnames... Bah, bah, bah! My father-in-law is not here, right?
Their pursuit of interests is to install spokespersons in Northern Xinjiang, but Huang Chunhui and Liao Jin cling to the fence of Northern Xinjiang and resolutely refuse the entry of external forces.
Even if the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, Yang Songcheng is arrogant and ruthless against the old man. What kind of mentality is this?
Gods look down upon the mentality of mortals.
The four surnames of the family have a long history and have been glorious for countless years. As time goes by, they have long regarded themselves as gods. The gods want a position, and you and other mortals dare to stop it. How treasonous!
What about bribery?
Yang Songcheng was cruel to Huang Chunhui and wanted to bribe Liao Jin, but Liao Jin resolutely fought back. That time, the whole family was disgraced.
If bribery fails, he will be ruthless, and the old man will become a target.
About to encounter an enemy scout, Yang Xuan's mind was not thinking about how to deal with it, but he was thinking about these messy things.
It's not that he is irresponsible, but there is no need to think about it.
When faced with an encounter, there is only one choice: run!
Run to Northern Xinjiang!
When you have no choice, just lie down and enjoy.
"Let's go!"
Enemy scouts passed them by.
Everyone moved their bodies easily.
The old man's luck seems to be improving.
In the afternoon, they were still thirty miles away from Jinshan City.
A surprise distance.
Yang Xuan ordered him to camp.
"Send more scouts, but not too many. Each team of scouts must not exceed ten people."
The more people there are, the greater the chance of being discovered.
Ding Qing and his daughter reunited.
The two sat on the grass, looking dull.
After several days of trekking, Ding Ru looked a little embarrassed, but even so, her face was still wiped clean.
"Aye."
"Hmph!" Ding Qing didn't even want to say hum, so he snorted softly through his nostrils.
"Are we going to die?"
Ding Qing moved his body slowly, "I found it, maybe I don't have to die."
"What did you find?"
"You are so smart, couldn't you have imagined this?"
"My daughter is a little confused."
"Confused? You have been staring at Yang Xuan all the way and even practiced smiling charmingly. My daughter, do you want to trade your body for freedom?"
Ding Ru bit her red lips and said, "Aye, you once said that a woman's most powerful weapon is her own body. As long as she is good at using it, she can be used to any disadvantage."
"But that's Yang Xuan."
"You said that men can be tempted."
"His wife is the daughter of the Zhou family."
"Am I as beautiful as me?"
"It seems to be stunning, but... you may want to give it a try. If you can succeed, our father and daughter can also make a comeback."
Ding Qing felt better and said in a low voice: "Remember, men don't like women who are naked. Only young men like naked women. Most men who have experienced many women like to be half-covered.
woman."
"Is it that unimaginable... fishing smell?" Ding Ru changed her shy look.
Ding Qing sighed, "If I had known you had such understanding, I wouldn't have done business."
"What will you eat if you don't do business?" Ding Ru felt that her father was confused.
Ding Qing looked at her carefully, "Do you know the noble concubine?"
Ding Ru nodded, "Of course I know."
"The best destination for a woman is wealth. If I had known you had such understanding, my father would have found a way to find a noble man for you to marry."
"Aye said that the most important thing between men and women is friendship." After all, Ding Ru had never experienced anything between men and women, so she was a little confused.
"Silly daughter, the friendship between men and women...is that they are interested in each other. But interest will dissipate. Even if you are a fairy, if you look at it all day long, it won't take long for you to feel the same, and the friendship will naturally be gone.
So, the most important thing is...how to ensure that a man is interested in you."
Ding Qing smiled bitterly, "You have a high heart and want to get ahead. This is an opportunity."
Ding Ru smiled and said: "Aye wanted to marry me to someone from Beiliao. I will always remember it."
Ding Qing said kindly: "Bei Liao will conquer Northern Xinjiang sooner or later. If you marry, you will not suffer any hardships in the future."
"Really? But I think Aye wants me to be a hostage."
"You are confused. What you do for your father is business. Why do you need any hostages?"
"Aye, I'm going." Ding Ru Fushen.
Ding Qing sighed: "If it doesn't work, don't go."
Ding Ru shook his head, "Instead of being exiled for the rest of his life, why not give it a try. Anyway, this body is given to everyone. If you don't give it now, you will be bullied by those traffickers and lackeys on the way to exile."
"My son is transparent."
Yang Xuan is looking at the map.
"He Lianyu, the guard of Jinshan City, is a veteran general. Since he wants to sell well to the nobleman, he must get Deng Yan before the nobleman arrives. Deng Yan should have arrived at Jinshan City at this moment. In other words, the nobleman is here
On the way."
The map is very rough, but it has records of rivers, woods, cities, mountains, etc., which is enough.
"The noble man must have come from Ningxing, the route between Ningxing and Jinshan..." Nan He looked at it carefully, "Mr. Lang, there are a lot of people coming and going on this route."
"There is a lot of baggage." Yang Xuan scratched his head, "Two things are to confirm the noble's whereabouts and to determine where to start."
"Mr. Lang." Uda came over, "That woman wants to see you and say something important."
Yang Xuan has already seen Ding Ru.
"What's the matter?"
Ding Ru Fushen said, "I know that the most important thing for this trip is to hide your traces. I know many things about the Northern Liao Dynasty, and I am willing to serve you."
Yang Xuan was silent.
"It is my father and daughter's fault that I sent you to the grassland. I know how to serve others. If you don't dislike me, I am willing to serve you."
As she said that, Ding Ru raised her eyes, her eyes moving, and Xiafei's cheeks.
"The beautiful girl is the most touching." Yang Xuan said lightly: "I'm interested."
"Your Majesty." Ding Rula pulled at the lapel of her clothes, revealing some of her beauty, "I will let your Majesty do as I please."
Yang Xuan frowned, "Go back!"
Wu Da stood in front of Ding Ru and said, "Young gentleman, you will protect your wife like a jade. How about you give me a try?"
Ding Ru didn't even look at him and went back disappointed.
Yang Xuan took a few deep breaths before suppressing his emotions.
"The sentinel is number one."
Nan He has already passed that age, and his heart is like water, "It's not easy to scout this road, there's so much traffic!"
"Go and have a look in plain clothes."
The next morning, Liu Qing came.
"Generally speaking, a general shouldn't take risks, but it's not good to go without someone who can make a decision. You still have a few talents under your command. By the way, Chenzhou also has a lot of talents, why didn't you recruit a few?"
Yang Xuan said seriously: "They are all talents of the Tang Dynasty, not mine."
"Be clear about public and private affairs, be impartial and selfless, good!" the old man was full of praise.
But what he didn't know was that Yang Xuan was itching to see those talents, but even if they were roped in, they could only exist as peripheral ones.
It’s important to fight against the great cause!
Yang Xuan set off with his people.
Liu Qing watched him go away and said, "Bring him here."
Ding Ru was brought over and looked at Chu Chu Keren.
Liu Qing stood with his hands behind his hands, "I heard that you wanted to hook up with Zitai last night?"
Ding Ru was shocked, "I just want to serve you."
Liu Qing glanced at her and said indifferently: "She looks interesting, so she would be suitable to be Zitai's maid. But if she has a wrong mind, she will inevitably be a disaster."
Ding Ru was startled, knelt down and said, "I don't dare."
"I am very pleased that a young man with strong blood can not be tempted by beauty. But even if he is not tempted, there will always be a woman hanging around in front of him, which will distract him. Someone is coming!"
"Sima!"
Two sergeants stepped forward.
Liu Qing said calmly: "Tie them up and throw them into the cart behind."
"Sima...wuwuwu!"
Liu Qing looked at Ding Ru who was being carried away and said calmly: "Zitai is too kind and soft-hearted."
Qin Lun was surprised and said, "Sima, Yang Shijun is not tempted by the beauty. I think it is very impressive."
Liu Qing shook his head, "Between a man and a woman, either they should stay apart or they should get along. There is no third way. Such vagueness and indifference will cause trouble sooner or later. So, it is better to cut through the mess quickly.
"
Qin Lun swore that he saw the murderous intent in Master Sima's eyes.
Sima actually wanted to kill Ding Ru for Yang Shijun?
Is this... over?
Liu Qing restrained his murderous intent, "But out of curiosity, will I murder her?"
Qin Lun said sternly: "Did Sima have murderous intentions? I am a poor official, but I didn't notice it."
"Flattery is good." Liu Qing said calmly: "Young people should be careful about sex. Zitai has just taken over as the governor of Chenzhou. He is the only one in charge of Chenzhou."
Qin Lun nodded, "The youngest envoy in Northern Xinjiang, even the lower officials are envious of him."
"Desire is like a flood. It is a gate before it. For those young people with great ambitions, if the gate opens a gap, the flood will break down the gate, and then people will be controlled by desire. What future can they have?"
Qin Lun smiled bitterly, "Sima, Yang Shijun is already the governor of a state at a young age."
"The youngest governor of Northern Xinjiang!" Liu Qing stroked his beard, with a hint of hope in his eyes, "Why can't he be the youngest governor of Northern Xinjiang?"
…
Yang Xuan set off with Tu Shang, the old thief and Wang Laoer.
They pretended to be businessmen and passed through Jinshan City first without entering the city.
"Lang Jun, I found the carrot."
The old thief went to find the carrots, and then he carved a seal and got a fake document.
With the false documents, they passed two checkpoints and headed towards Ningxing.
Gradually deeper into the hinterland of Beiliao, villages, herdsman tribes, small towns appeared...
On this day, they drove the cart into a small town.
There is a family in the small town, where we eat and stay together.
After getting two rooms first, Yang Xuan and the four of them went to the lobby to have dinner.
Several businessmen had already started eating and were bragging about what they had seen along the way.
"More than a thousand cavalry! Looking at the majestic momentum, the armor and clothes are shining brightly, and the sun is dazzling my eyes."
While entertaining the guests, the shopkeeper asked: "Is it a noble person traveling?"
The businessman nodded, "It's priceless."
Yang Xuan gave the old thief a look, and the old thief leaned over and grinned, "How can a noble person come to a place like this? I think you are bragging."
Boom!
The old thief was punched in the eye.
The businessman drank a little too much, "I have seen with my own eyes that the princess is as delicate as a delicate flower. If you can let me touch it, I... woo woo woo!"
His companion covered his mouth and said with a smile, "He's lost his mind and gone crazy. He's lost his mind and gone crazy."
The old thief covered his eyes, "Can the princess come here? You are talking nonsense!"
"And the consort!" The businessman broke away, pointed at the old thief and cursed: "Old dog, do you dare to fight with me?"
"I am getting old and my courage is getting weaker." The old thief sighed.
