"Master Situ, my family is seriously ill. I am weak and have difficulty moving. I may not be able to return to Luoyang for the time being."
Yang Xiurong received a courtesy and said with an apologetic expression.
"Really, that's a pity."
Wang Yun looked regretful on the surface, but in his heart he was as clear as a mirror. However, he could understand Yang Biao's caution. After all, Yang Biao's situation was different from his. Yang Biao needed to be responsible for the Yang family, unlike him.
, a lonely man, he only represents himself in any political decisions, and does not need to bear any responsibilities of the family.
In addition, many talents in the Yang family are already under Li Shimin's command, especially Yang Jian, so Li Shimin will never let Yang Biao leave easily.
At this thought, Wang Yun couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. It didn't matter whether the Yang family left or not, but Yang Jian was a general he valued very much.
In addition, Yang Jian is also in love with his adopted daughter, who is the top warrior most easily controlled by Wang Yun. If Yang Jian can be brought back to Luoyang, Yang Jian will definitely become his representative in the military in the future.
It's a pity that Wang Yun can only think about such thoughts. If he really dares to take Yang Jian's idea, Li Shimin may detain him too.
Wang Yun was very afraid that Li Shimin would regret it, so after summoning all the officials that day, he organized the whole day again the next day, and left Chang'an with his people on the third day, looking impatient.
The hundreds of officials in the court, their families, young and old servants, and the escorts, plus the maids and eunuchs in the palace, made the team returning to Luoyang more than 3,000 people and hundreds of carriages.
Under the leadership of Wang Yun, this huge eastward returning team left directly from the east gate of Chang'an and headed toward Tongguan in a mighty manner.
"Chang'e..."
As soon as Chang'e's carriage left Chang'an, Yang Jian galloped after her and blocked her carriage, which also attracted the attention of other families.
"General Yang Jian?"
Chang'e stepped out of the carriage, showing her majestic face, and said with a smile: "Is the general here to see off the slave?"
Yang Jian's eyes were full of reluctance, and he asked with a forced smile: "Why do you want to leave Chang'an?"
Chang'e was startled, then smiled and said: "The slave family has no reason to stay!"
The bitterness on Yang Jian's face was even worse. Yes, even Wang Yun's master and apprentice were leaving. As his adopted daughter, what reason did Chang'e have to stay?
Yang Jian wanted very much to retain Chang'e, but the words were on his lips, but he couldn't speak. In the end, he only said: "In this case, let Yang Jian give you a ride."
After saying that, Yang Jian returned to the city directly, wanting to ask Li Shimin for help. He might abandon his family and follow Chang'e to join Qin Hao. In the end, Ou Neng could only do so much for Chang'e.
Seeing this, Chang'e stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to speak but hesitated, but she also said nothing.
After Yang Jian walked away, Dugu Qiubai, who was dressed as a groom, walked slowly to Chang'e and said lightly: "What a seed of infatuation."
"well."
Chang'e sighed, she never thought of hurting Yang Jian, but Yang Jian seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into trouble.
As the No. 1 secret agent of Jinyiwei, Chang'e was supposed to be the leader of spies in the entire Kansai region. However, neither she nor Jia Xu expected that Li Shimin would take the initiative to release hundreds of officials back to the court, which also immediately disrupted Jia Xu's thinking.
All deployments in Kansai.
Situ Wang Yun wanted to leave Chang'an and return to Luoyang, and Chang'e, as his adopted daughter, would naturally have to leave as well. If he stayed forcibly, it would arouse suspicion, so Jia Xu could only let Chang'e come back first.
Jia Xu felt very sorry for losing such an excellent spy like Chang'e. As for the new candidate for Tianzi No. 1, Jia Xu was not ready to consider it for the time being.
Since the functions of Jinyiwei and Heibingtai overlap, Qin Hao is planning to integrate the four divisions of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang and Black Ice into Heibingtai, and Jia Xu, his uncle, will also be in charge of Heibingtai.
In the near future, both Jinyiwei and Heibingtai will undergo major changes, so Jia Xu is ready to reorganize the intelligence network in the Kansai region after he has complete control of Heibingtai.
"If Yang Jian follows us all the way, I'm afraid it will hinder our plan." Dugu Qiubei said calmly.
Who are Yang Jian and others? He is ranked third in the general list, a peerless general who is not inferior to Li Yuanba.
Although Dugu Qiubai's level is higher than that of Yang Jian, he is not absolutely sure that he can defeat Yang Jian if he really gets into a fight. Even the combined strength of the entire Kansai Jinyi Guards may not be able to do anything to Yang Jian alone.
"Master, don't worry."
Chang'e looked at Yang Jian's back and said calmly: "At most, Yang Jian will escort the team out of Tongguan, and it will not affect our plan."
"I hope so." Dugu Qiubai said calmly.
If Yang Jian only escorts the other party to Tongguan, this will not affect his plan, but if it is sent all the way to Hangu Pass, then he can only cancel the original plan.
Yang Jian asked Li Shimin to escort hundreds of officials back eastward, but Li Shimin was naturally unwilling to do so. He was afraid that Yang Jian would join Wang Yun and join Qin Hao for the sake of Chang'e.
"General Yang Jian, if you really like Chang'e so much, I will ask Wang Situ to marry you and ask Wang Situ to marry Chang'e to you. I believe Wang Situ will give me this face." Li Shimin smiled lightly.
He said.
When Yang Jian heard this, he immediately became anxious: "My lord, you must not do it. Although Yang Jian is in love with the girl Chang'e, he also knows that forceful melons are not sweet. If she is not willing, Yang Jian will never forcefully marry her."
"this……"
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel speechless. He was also kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Yang Jian trapped in love, but Yang Jian was stupid and naive. You didn't even give it a try. Why didn't you know that others didn't want to do it?
In the end, Yang Jian promised Li Shimin that he would only escort him all the way back. Li Shimin believed in Yang Jian's character, so he allowed Yang Jian to lead 500 cavalry to escort him all the way.
The team of officials returning eastward returned home as fast as an arrow, and they traveled very quickly. They passed Tongguan in only five days, and this became the last five days that Yang Jian and Chang'e spent together.
"General Yang Jian, please go back quickly. We will have to send you to Hangu Pass again."
Chang'e advised, but Yang Jian still had a look of reluctance on his face and said, "Let's give it away for a while."
"No need, the general and the King of Tang have agreed to deliver it to Tongguan and then return it. If you continue, it will arouse the suspicion of the King of Tang."
"This... okay, Chang'e, take care of yourself."
"General, take care."
Under Yang Jian's reluctant watch, Chang'e and her party left Tongguan and headed for Hangu Pass. The team could not move forward more than ten miles when they were blocked by more than two hundred soldiers wearing Qin army armor.
The first general stood up and said: "I am Li Cunxiao, the deputy general of Hangu Pass, and I have been ordered to protect you all as you return to Luoyang."
