"Sir, it seems that Miyuan County has failed."
In Chang'an, in Hou Junji's mansion, a tall servant hurriedly walked into Hou Junji's study, then knelt on one knee to report!
"Failed?"
Behind the desk, Hou Junji's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and the brush in his hand trembled. A drop of heavy ink from the tip of the pen was shaken off, and it happened to be printed in the middle of the half-written memorial.
"Failed...just failed." Slowly lowering his head, looking at the memorial stained with ink, Hou Junji took a deep breath, crumpled the memorial into a ball, threw it into the paper basket next to him, and waited until the memorial was in He then raised his head little by little and asked, "Where is Qinling? What news is there?"
The tall servant seemed not to have expected that his master would be so calm after hearing the news!
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly clasped his fists and said: "The news from Qinling is good. The master's people were not blocked along the way. By this time, they should have successfully reached the new fire defense area."
"That's good." After hearing the news, Hou Junji's livid face finally softened a little. He pondered for a moment, and then ordered again: "Go and inform those people to act with caution! Since Sanyuan County failed, it means that Xiao Han We have already made preparations so that they can evacuate first when something becomes impossible! In addition, continue to send people to monitor Xiao Han, and report him immediately once he leaves Sanyuan County!"
"Here!" The servant waited for Hou Junji to finish speaking, and without delay, he immediately bowed his hands in agreement, then stood up, turned around and left the study in a hurry.
And just after he left the study courtyard.
In the study behind the back, there was a sound of the porcelain inkstone breaking! At the same time, Hou Junji's uncontrollable roar came.
"Trash! You can't do such a small thing well, and you dare to call yourself a member of a noble family! Trash..."
Faintly hearing the angry roar coming from the air, the servant who reported the news had a look on his face, and immediately accelerated his steps a little faster, and rushed out of the Hou Mansion almost like flying.
In fact, as early as in the study just now, he had already seen a pile of fragments of memorials in the wastebasket! And without exception, there are several shocking strokes of black ink on them, symbolizing how unpeaceful the person who wrote them is feeling!
As the elderly person in the family, the servant also knew very well that his master never liked reading, let alone writing!
Today, for the first time in my life, I stayed in the study reading and writing. I was obviously trying to cover up the uneasiness and hesitation in my heart!
At this time, it's better to stay away. If you accidentally let him vent his anger on you, that would be aggrieved!
Hou Junji was furious in the mansion, and Wang Shilong was no better at this time.
He who always prided himself on being superior to others never thought that his cost-effective plan would end before it even started?
"Then Wu Laosan has been taken away by Master Yan now?"
Also listening to the servant's report, a layer of dense sweat was already oozing out on Wang Shilong's plump head!
Unlike Xiao Han, he knew exactly what that old man represented!
Wu Laosan fell into Xiao Han's hands, but he was not afraid yet! But if he falls into the hands of Yan Zhitui, and if he asks anything from this person's mouth, he will be doomed!
If that time comes, even the family behind him will only hasten to divorce himself instead of saving himself!
"How much Wu Laosan knows about us!" Thinking of this, Wang Shilong grabbed the servant who reported the news and roared at him.
The servant was sprayed by Wang Shilong, but he didn't even dare to wipe it. He only dared to wave his hands randomly and said: "Don't worry, young master, he doesn't know anything! We sent people who contacted him and only told him to make trouble. I didn’t tell him anything! He doesn’t even know the names of the people!”
"Don't know anything? That's not okay!"
Hearing what the servant said, Wang Shilong threw him away fiercely, then panted heavily and paced back and forth in the room: "Kill the few people who come into contact with him...send them out of the city! Within three years, he is not allowed to enter again. Chang'an!"
Originally, what Wang Shilong wanted to say was to kill these people.
But when the words came to his mouth, his indecisive character made him hesitate. In the end, he did not act so cruelly, and just thought of having someone send them away first.
Anyway, Chang'an is so big, no one would notice two ordinary people, right?
"Master Yan, why are you with him? Why have you arrested Wu Laosan again now! What do you want to do!"
Seeing the servant leaving in a hurry, Wang Shilong, panting heavily, sat down on his seat, his eyes glazed over for a moment.
——————
Because of an ordinary commoner, an undercurrent surged under Chang'an City!
However, at this time, the Qinling Mountains located south of Lantian County was exceptionally peaceful.
A group of cavalry followed the narrow road in the mountains and kept walking through the dense forest. From time to time, they startled a few wild deer, a group of birds, and even the squirrels jumping back and forth in the trees, holding their food, looking down at the group of people curiously. .
"Brother, this mission is too easy, isn't it? Thanks to the steward who gave us countless warnings, I didn't expect that the guard here just looked at the warrant and allowed us to pass without any hindrance!"
In the cavalry team, a young man in well-dressed clothes was rising and falling as the horses ran, and he grinned and shouted to the captain in front.
"Shut up! Hurry up!"
In front, the captain heard the sound and turned around to yell at the young man.
However, judging from the joy on his face, he was extremely happy that the journey had gone smoothly.
You know, when he first received this mission, the captain never thought it would go so smoothly! Even before today, he had already arranged his funeral arrangements in advance!
Receive Xiao Han's new Phobos base?
He didn't even know at the time, who would come up with this idea?
Who among the Tang army today doesn't know Xiao Han's name? Who doesn't know that the New Fire Guards are his direct troops?
Just like this, sneaking over to raid someone else's lair? What's the difference between this and poaching someone else's wife?
By then, if someone really beats him to death, he probably won’t have anywhere to redress his grievances!
"stop!"
Just when the captain was still secretly happy, the dense forest in front suddenly shook a few times, and several men holding powerful crossbows jumped out from the middle.
"Be bold!"
Perhaps it was the previous checkpoints that gave me so much confidence. Seeing how these people dared to block the road? The arrogant young man immediately rushed forward and angrily shouted: "We are the subordinates of General Shangshuhou of the Ministry of War. We have been ordered to inspect the new fire guards. Who are you? Why don't you get out of the way!"
"Warrant!" The young man scolded them angrily, but the men were not annoyed. Their eyes were calm, as if nothing happened, and they stretched out their hands coldly.
