Squeak~~Squeak~~

The shaft of the car ran through the potholes on the road. In the shaking carriage, the woman with hands and feet tied up to wake up in a daze. She was not fully awake yet. She half-opened her eyes and looked at her son with her hands tied back.

It has been three days since then. After waking up, the cloth towel in the mouth was removed and the soup was poured on, the people outside stopped caring about her and her son.

She was no better than an ordinary woman, and she had a lot of experiences. After the initial panic, Bai Yunxiang gradually calmed down. After comforting her son with her eyes, she was paying attention to the kidnappers outside all the time, looking for opportunities to escape.

Unfortunately, the other party seems to be both veterans, and they are doing nothing in this regard, making people unable to see anything unusual. The only thing that is fortunate now is that the other party is not greedy for her beauty.

Just like doing a business, the goods must be handed intact to the buyer.

‘Dou Wei must have discovered it at this time... Will he tell him the news? It will take a month to get in contact, and I am afraid he may not meet again in this life.’

She thought, as if she had been to somewhere, the marching carriage suddenly stopped. Someone outside came to lift the curtain and glanced inside, then put down the curtain and left.

There was a vague sound of speech. Bai Yunxiang moved her body, blinked at her frightened son, pressed her to the car window, and listened carefully.

"You guys did a good job... there will be rewards when you go back."

"After this matter is over, you will go back to your hometown in Hebei, stay for a while, and then call you over."

The voice of the continuous speech was gentle. The woman struggled to sit up, and she peeked out the gaps floating up the corners of the curtain. The mountains were green and lush, with the outline of the majestic city wall standing in the distance. The source of the sound was two men. The person who spoke was tall, with a half-foot-shaped face and a majestic look. Even the few bandits tied to her were like children listening to lessons in front of him.

"Let's go, I have sent someone to Luoyang, I believe that King Dongping is already on the way to come."

As a person who suddenly emerged in three years, the Cui family in Qinghe contributed their efforts and provided money and grain to Chang'an. Although it only contributed a small part, funding in the name of a family is different in the meaning.

What Li Ye responded to Li was to make Cui Yin stand out. As for whether he had the ability, it was not important.

Cui Yin naturally saw this, so he dared to take action in Chang'an. After being sure Li Ye would not take him. Later, he cut off the traitors in the court, and the emperor had a lot of wet marks relying on him.

He stood by the carriage he was riding over for a while, and watched the vehicle with the "cargo" enter Tongguan before he returned to the car and followed behind.

The guards of Tongguan, like the guards of Mingde Gate in Chang'an, were already bribed by him. They checked things up and did not even look at the carriage, and then passed the pass and let them go.

at the same time.

Going east along Tongguan, outside Luoyang City, the stout Zhu Wen was riding a horse and leading a team out of the city. In addition to Wang Yanzhang, who often brought the nickname "Gun King", there was also the right servant of the procuratorate, Xie Tong.

After sweeping away the wandering of Caizhou, Shi Pu was taught a lesson. He had basically taken down the Central Plains region, but the recent rogue army has caused trouble everywhere, and its style is still the same as the Cao army. The difference is that the other party is a small group of people, plundering the villages around the county town, and leaving with the people. When the soldiers in the city lead the troops to arrive, they have long disappeared.

Now that I heard that the neighborhood of Luoyang was also in trouble, I came over to take a look. When I inspected the city defense, I received a letter from Chang'an, which was written to him by the new prime minister Cui Yin.

The Cui family in Qinghe is a prominent family in Hebei. Zhu Wen naturally heard of it when he was a thief in Dangshan when he was young.

"Your Highness, what did Cui Xiang say?" Xie Tong stood on Zhu Wen's side, knowing the other party's temperament well, and even if he had trust, he could not peek.

"Haha... This Cui Xiang knows my hobby. He said he found a beautiful woman in Chang'an, a widow, and sent her with her children."

"I'm afraid it's a kidnapped, Your Highness shouldn't take over."

Xie Tong lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment. This was the first time he had Zhu Wen refused. He had a warning in his tone, "This Cui Xiang comes from a famous family and is his new and good arm. He is too close to His Highness. It is not good for us at the moment."

On the side, Zhu Wen glanced at him and threw away the letter at will.

"Why don't you take it? Gu has already obtained the Central Plains. Who dares to underestimate it? Li Ye's child, who thought he was self-righteous in his plan, thought that we would hold Li Keyong back. He would be willing to conquer Shu and cut off the eunuchs in the palace. I really think Gu couldn't see his thoughts? If it weren't for Gu resting his troops..."

Zhu Wen snorted heavily, Luoyang was moving far behind the team, he looked ahead and hummed again, pinching the horse whip.

"Believe it or not, Gu took Tongguan in front at this time, and Li Ye, who was far away in Chang'an, didn't even dare to let go of one of them? As for Cui Yin, it was only the Cui family in Qinghe who came to explore the way."

Xie Tong said "Yes." Then he did not continue to speak. The King of Dongping, who had gone from a great thief to the current position of the king, was not so short-sighted. He said this, which should have meaning.

As for accepting the beautiful woman sent by the other party, it is purely a hobby.

A team of about two thousand cavalry teams passed through Luoyang's territory, and the sky gradually set in the west. After the camp was camped, they did not plan to move forward anymore, and just waited for the news from the other party here.

Sure enough, before the sunset was set, a carriage drove from a distance from the official road in Tongguan direction. It was intercepted by the cavalry and interrogated. He was here to give a gift, so he led the other party into the gate.

The three men escorted the carriage jumped out of the carriage and loosened the mother and son inside. After all, they could not escape when they arrived at the military camp. They took off the cloth scarf from the woman's mouth. The man with a fierce face pinched the woman's chin and said fiercely.

"After following the one inside, there will be wealth and honor in the future. If you dare to seek short-sighted opinions, I will peel your son and throw it into the lake to feed the fish!"

Bai Yunxiang struggled out of his hand, stared at the other party, reached out to bring Geng Nian over, and strode to the largest tent in the camp without pushing the three of them.

The brazier set up at the tent burned, and the soldiers did not stop them. They put them in and stepped inside. Their vision was dark and they vaguely saw a figure sitting behind the desk opposite.

"Haha... This figure is really wonderful. You can pinch it out of water at a glance." Zhu Wen had a lot of experience in this area. He rubbed his hands and stood up and walked around the desk. Looking at the woman with her face hanging and her hair was scattered, he looked up and down, and said a few "wonderful" in his mouth.

His eyes moved down and suddenly fell on the little man next to the woman. Since he wanted to bring the other mother into the room, it would be nothing more than an adopted son.

Zhu Wen was in a good mood and squatted down to pinch the little man's face. As soon as his fingertips touched the delicate skin, he suddenly frowned. Looking at the timid child, his small and delicate facial features, he vaguely saw a person's outline.

"May I have your name?"

Over there, the boy grabbed his mother's hand tightly and whispered timidly: "Geng Nian..."

The surname is Geng?

It's not such a coincidence...

Zhu Wen withdrew his hand and looked at it carefully for a while. The more he looked, the more he looked. He was about to ask the woman next to him, but the woman spoke first.

"His father's name is Geng Qing, and I am Bai Yunxiang."

Xie Tong, who was thinking about something, turned his face and looked at the woman in surprise. He reacted and hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand.

"Can you raise your face?"

Bai Yunxiang heard this and slowly raised her dirty face, her appearance could not be concealed. When she saw Xie Tong in front of her, her face was also surprised.

"Mr. Xie..."

Xie Tong often came to Yong'anfang to meet Geng Qing and Qin Huaimian. Naturally, he had seen Bai Yunxiang and talked. When we meet, how could we recognize the wrong person?

Xie Tong subconsciously looked at Zhu Wen, but the latter didn't say anything. He reached out and took the woman and child in front of him and walked out of the big tent. When the three men waiting outside saw King Dongping come out, they quickly squeezed out a flattering smile and stepped forward to bow.

"Your Highness, is the woman inside satisfied?"

"Satisfied, thank you very much for your Xiang Cui, but what kind of gift should I pay him..." Zhu Wen looked at the three of them and pointed out one of them. The latter thought that King Dongping wanted him to do something, but he just stood there motionless. The next moment, Zhu Wen turned his face to the two personal guards at the tent.

"Cut off the heads of the two people here, and let this guy take his head back."

As soon as they said that, the two of them were so scared that they sat on the ground, their faces turned pale in an instant. They screamed a few times and were dragged away by the soldiers who had passed by. Accompanied by two screams of "Ah--" two bloody heads were brought over, tied with ropes, and hung on the remaining neck and hung on the only neck.

"Your Xiang Cui is not far ahead, right? Let him come to Gu's place to talk."

The man, who was so scared that he couldn't tell, just hung two heads, and sat in a carriage that the soldiers pulled over and drove out of the military camp.

snort.

If you want to get rid of Zhu, you are still a little stunned.

After knowing that the mother and son inside were Geng Qing's people, the doubts about Cui Yin suddenly fascinated him and it became clear.

And he hates being used the most.

Back at the big tent, Zhu Wen looked at the child in front of him and pinched the tender flesh on his little face, and his thick beard spread wide open, and laughed twice.

"Be really a good kid, your father will definitely come back to find you."

His face smiled a little ferociously.

.........

"What?!"

Cui Yin lifted the curtain and heard his subordinates' rewards and rushed out of the car. He saw his blood-covered man kneeling on the ground with two heads next to him.

"That's what he said?"

The man swallowed and nodded hard: "The King of Dongping said that he would let Cui Xiang go to his military camp tonight... Cui Xiang, I think it's the Hongmen Banquet. It's better to go back to Chang'an quickly."

Hmm...

Prime Minister Cui Yin looked at the bonfire and pondered for a moment. Then he asked everyone who followed him to turn around and leave. It would be better not to break through the tiger's den over there. That was a reckless behavior.

As long as the mother and son were not sent out, three birds were killed and only two were rarely won.

"Cui Xiang, look!"

Cui Yin stepped onto the chariot, lifted the curtain and went in. He heard a horseman outside pointing at the valley on the side of Tongguan, and a torch was lit.

There were not many torches, only two, but it could be seen that they seemed to be coming to find them.

Afar, the carriage driving through the valley stopped nearby, and the people in the car noticed the simple station in front and a carriage parked.

"Cui Xiang, aren't you looking for the past few days? Why are you leaving now? Why are you better stay and talk all night together?"

In the darkness, it was Geng Qing's voice. Her slender figure came out of the curtain, stood under the torch light, and looked at dozens of people over there with her hands in her arms.

Three guards carrying wooden boxes held the handles of the knife tightly and lined up behind him.
