"Your Majesty, General Li Jing is here to see you," in the lobby of the Nao County government office, a sergeant shouted to Young Master Wan, who was leaning on the Grand Master's chair and not doing anything upright, with his fists clasped.
"Oh, okay, please invite him in quickly." As soon as he heard that Li Jing was coming, Wan He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up directly. He smiled and asked the sergeant to invite Li Jing in, while he stood up. He straightened his clothes.
During the past few days in Guo County, Wan He was living very freely. He came here on the emperor's order. Naturally, the magistrate of Guo County wanted to worship Wan He as a Bodhisattva. Wan He was here The spicy food here is very popular. In your free time, you and Yue Rong can chat with each other and wander around. Life is nourishing. Now Wan He is a little bit happy to miss Shu. Hearing that Li Jing is coming, Wan He was still thinking about which restaurant he and Li Jing should have a drink at in the evening.
But when Wan He saw the expression on Li Jing's face who walked in, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, because on Li Jing's face, Wan He saw a rare look of panic and solemnity, which made Wan He immediately know that it must be What happened, otherwise Li Jing, who has always been steady, would never have shown such an expression.
Sure enough, before Li Jing, who had just entered the door, waited for Wan He to ask, he had a gloomy look on his face, waved to the sergeant who followed him, told him to leave, and then said directly to Wan He: "Brother Wan, something big is going to happen." When he said this, Li Jing's breath was a little disturbed. It was obvious that this matter was too big and he could not calm down his mind.
"Uh," Li Jing said this, and Wan He knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what happened. Of course, he had no doubt that Li Jing was joking with him, so Wan He also He quickly invited Li Jing to take a seat, personally served Li Jing a cup of tea, and then said: "Brother Li, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?"
Li Jing took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. He breathed a long sigh of relief and then calmed down a little. Then he frowned and said in a deep voice: "I received intelligence a few days ago that the Turks Someone had evil intentions and wanted to attack the Emperor's chariot, so I immediately rushed over from Yuanping and sent someone to Yanmen Pass to report the news. However, I was always a step too late. Last night I got the latest information. The Turkic army had approached Yanmen Pass and would be approaching Yanmen Pass. Yanmen Pass is surrounded by everyone,"
"What?" Wan He was stunned for a moment after hearing what Li Jing said. When he reacted, he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his chair. Wan He looked at Li Jing with wide eyes, trying to make sure whether Li Jing was joking. After that, he panicked. It wasn't that Wanhe really cared about Yang Guang's life and death, but that Nao County was too close to Yanmen Pass. If the Turks really dared to attack Yang Guang, the troops they would bring with them would definitely Quite a few, I didn't know if it was safe or not at Yanmen Pass, so the first thing Wan He thought of was to grease the soles of his feet and run away. Immediately Wan He stood up and shouted: "This, this, Let’s get out of here quickly,”
"Brother Wan, don't worry. The Turks' target is Shengjia. They will never attack other places before they capture Yanmen Pass," Li Jing immediately stretched out his hand to persuade Wan He to come down and said with a frown. : "The Holy Spirit is accompanied by nearly 20,000 Yulin troops and the garrison guards of Yanmen Pass. In addition, the walls of Yanmen Pass are strong. No matter how many Turkic soldiers and horses there are, they will never be able to capture Yanmen Pass in a short time. So far, what we have to do should be It was timely to report that the emperor was trapped and returned to the Central Plains, and called on all troops to come to Yanmen Pass to protect King Qin."
Li Jing's words also reminded Wan He. Wan He immediately summoned several sergeants from outside. At the same time, he wrote a secret letter and gave it to the sergeants, asking them to rush back to the Eastern Capital immediately and hand the letter to the remaining Dongdu. Yang Tong, the Yue King in the capital, called on all soldiers and horses to work hard for the king. Wan He alone was useless. Now almost all the civil and military officials were trapped in Yanmen Pass. The only one with this qualification and reputation was the one who stayed in the east. It’s all Yang Tong.
After doing all this, Wan He finally felt relieved. Once he was relieved, Wan He came up with many questions and said with a gloomy face: "How could this Turk come to Yanmen Pass without saying a word? , what about the scouts arranged before, are they all blind?"
Naturally, the defenders of Yanmen Pass will not just stay at Yanmen Pass and defend passively. Normally, the defenders of Yanmen Pass will send many scouts to guard the important roads outside the pass day and night. If there is any trouble among the barbarians outside the pass, the defenders of Yanmen Pass will They all knew it in advance and responded in time, but now Yanmen Pass is actually besieged by the Turks, and Wan He, the 30,000 Yulin Army guarding Nao County, did not get the slightest news in advance. It can be seen that the previous guard of Yanmen Pass, Yun Ding, The scouts arranged by Xingsuo had no effect at all, so the Turks were caught off guard.
"This is exactly the problem," Li Jing waved his fist vigorously and said, "I also want to introduce you to a person. It was his warning that made me aware of this matter in advance. Everything you asked him, Then you will know the reason." After saying that, Li Jing turned around and walked out of the lobby, waved to the outside, and soon, he led a middle-aged man in his forties in.
As soon as he saw this middle-aged man, Wan He's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although this middle-aged man was a little thin, he had a dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor. In the past, Wan He had only two people, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Having seen this kind of temperament in him, Wan He can be sure from this point alone that this person is definitely not simple, and Li Jing also led this person to Wan He and said to Wan He: "Brother Wan, let me introduce him. , This is Mr. Liu, the commander of Jinyang, Liu Wenjing. This time, it was Mr. Liu who informed me of the matter in time, and I knew about the Turks' conspiracy. Mr. Liu, this is the one you want me to recommend to you. Mr. Wan, Marquis of Yangcheng,"
Li Jing's last words seemed to be an introduction to Liu Wenjing, but these words pointed out Liu Wenjing's intention to Wan He. It also reminded Wan He. Liu Wenjing could naturally hear Li Jing's intention, but he did not say it. What? He just smiled faintly, bowed his hands to Wan He, and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Wenjing, has met Mr. Wan Hou."
Hearing Li Jing's words, Wan He's eyes immediately flashed with light. It seemed that this person named Liu Wenjing was not only not simple, but also had ulterior motives. He specifically sought out Li Jing and used such important information as a stepping stone. It seemed that , not only wanted to meet him, but also thinking in his heart, Wan He also smiled and helped Liu Wenjing up, and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu. This time Mr. Liu has made extraordinary achievements, I will definitely do it for him. Your Excellency, I would like to ask the Emperor for credit, but, uh, I have something unclear, so I would like to ask Master Liu to enlighten me. How did Master Liu know that the Turks were planning to attack Yu Jia secretly?"
Although Liu Wenjing is the order of Jinyang, Liu Wenjing was able to learn things that even the guard Yun Dingxing of Yanmen Pass did not know. This shows that there must be some reason for it. Regarding Wan He's question, Liu Wenjing immediately put away her face. With a smile on her face, she replied with a serious face: "Master Hou, it is a coincidence that I heard about this." As she said that, Liu Wenjing took out a piece of rolled parchment from her sleeves, and then offered it with both hands. Presented in front of Wan He.
Although Wan He was a little strange, he still took the parchment and opened it. But before Wan He could read a few lines of words, Wan He's face immediately became gloomy and his brows were furrowed. It took a long time. , Wan He raised his head and stared at Liu Wenjing closely, but the parchment in his hand was rolled up quietly and stuffed directly into his sleeve. In this regard, Liu Wenjing did not say anything, just sat quietly. There, he seemed to be waiting for Wan He's questions. After putting away the parchment, Wan He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Master Liu, how can I be sure whether what is written on this parchment is true? "
The corner of Liu Wenjing's mouth curled up slightly, but she seemed to be confident about Wan He's question. She replied with a smile: "Returning to the Marquis, if you ask me to show you conclusive evidence, I really can't produce it, but I know one thing." Things can prove what is written on the parchment,"
In fact, Wan He already believed more than half of what was written on this piece of parchment. The reason why he asked was because he wanted to be more sure. Therefore, after Liu Wenjing answered, Wan He became more and more curious and listened to Liu Wenjing continue. Said: "Xiaoguan learned that some time ago, the Marquis was attacked in Yuanping City. Although His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, nothing was found. However, Xiaguan knew that these assassins were from Goguryeo. The Marquis did not know that Xiaguan Is that right?"
Wan He was also shocked when he heard the word "Goguryeo" coming from Liu Wenjing's mouth. The only people who really knew about this matter were Wan He and Li Jing. Even Pei Xingyan didn't know the origin of those assassins. Wan He He had no intention of telling the truth, so he kept the matter a secret, but he didn't expect that Liu Wenjing would reveal it. Wan He's first reaction was to look at Li Jing, thinking that it was Li Jing who had told the matter. Liu Wenjing's, but Li Jing gently shook his head at Wan He, indicating that he was not the one who broke the news. Of course, Wan He trusted Li Jing. Wan He immediately frowned and stared at Liu Wenjing. , asked in a deep voice: "How did Mr. Liu know that those assassins came from Goguryeo?"
Liu Wenjing turned a blind eye to the killing intent that burst out from Wan He's eyes from time to time, and still maintained a calm smile, saying: "I also learned by chance that the Marquis destroyed Bishe City last year and captured Goguryeo General Eulji Mun. De, has a blood feud with the Goguryeo people, and Goguryeo was actually involved in this matter. It is precisely because of this that the Goguryeo people were able to smoothly pass through the checkpoints and come to Yuanping City to set up an ambush and assassinate the Marquis."
