This group of Tang soldiers galloped to a stop in front of the three of them. The carriage also arrived shortly after, and all the Tang soldiers dismounted one after another. In such a mountain of corpses, facing Ye Qingcheng made several people feel a lot of pressure.
The leading officer took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am under the command of Wang Shuai, the military governor of Xia Shuofang, and the Colonel Li Zheng. Would you like to know the names of all the martyrs?"
From Shuofang's army? Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but feel dumb. It was a coincidence. He was planning to go to Longyou and unexpectedly met people from Shuofang's army here. He had long heard that Shuofang's army had resisted Beiyi for many years and was brave and good at fighting. When they saw it today, it turned out to be true. He was really impressed that a group of seven people could overwhelm nearly a hundred bandits. But, who exactly is Wang Shuai in his mouth? Isn't Shuofang Jiedu envoy Wei Guangcheng? Although this person did not have any great achievements when he was in office, he had met him from a distance when he went to Beijing to report on his duties. How could he become the Wang Shuai he called him? It seems that the Tang Dynasty has undergone many changes since he left Chang'an. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry when he went to see his father and did not have time to stay and understand the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. Especially during the six months since I participated in the Panlong Trial, I was almost completely out of touch with the situation in the Tang Dynasty. Calculated by a mortal's lifespan, half a year is not a short period of time.
Thinking of this, some familiar faces suddenly emerged in his mind, from Bai Lingfeng, to Shuang Yan, to Mo Xiang and Zhao Liuyang, etc. He didn't know if he would have the chance to see them again in the future. Once An Lushan rebels and the Northeast Central Plains becomes weak, these young people in the martial arts hall will inevitably be sent to the front line. I wonder if they will still be safe?
But at the moment, he couldn't care about those guys. He was still injured, so there was no way he could care about them.
But the curiosity in his heart was a bit strong. He didn't intend to speak at first, but he coughed twice while being supported by Huan Chenyu, and said slowly: "My surname is Ye, and these are two of my friends. One is surnamed Huan." , a surnamed Bai, we are all Jianghu people, passing by here, saw the signal given by your Excellency. We hate these roosters and dog robbers the most in our lives, so we rushed to support, but we never thought that these guys are too invincible. , much weaker than those guys we have encountered before, so I accidentally underestimated the enemy and was shot with a crossbow by them, which made Colonel Li laugh. "
Without beating? Can you please stop being ridiculous? Lieutenant Li couldn't help but think in his heart, if they were other ordinary bandits, the nine of them could be wiped out directly, but the QH gang is the dominant force in the area. Their weapons are quite sophisticated, and they even have a crossbow. Their combat effectiveness But it's not low, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to find a breakthrough before. If this is not enough to fight, God knows what kind of freaks these three people have been fighting before?
But it was naturally impossible for his face to show these emotions: "It turns out that it was Brother Ye. Thanks to the help of your friend and Brother Ye, our brothers and my wife were safe and sound. Li Zheng thanked you in advance. !”
After saying that, he saluted Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng also knew that it was difficult to refuse such a thing, so he nodded symbolically and continued to ask: "So, the person in the carriage is Wang Shuai's wife as you mentioned Right? I just don’t know which general this Wang Shuai is. I have never heard of a Jiedu envoy named Wang in Shuofang before. Isn’t Shuofang Jiedu envoy Wei Guangcheng Wei Shuai? When did he become the king? handsome?"
Li Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at each other with other Tang soldiers. Ye Qingcheng and the three of them didn't know about such a big event? Fortunately, he is relatively tactful, presumably because they often travel around the world and don't pay attention to family and country affairs.
"It seems that Brother Ye is not very clear about some of the things that have happened recently. A few days ago, His Majesty Xuanzong changed his name to Tianbao, and also made adjustments to many official positions in the Tang Dynasty. Wei Shuai is no longer Shuofang Jiedu Yes, the current Shuofang Jiedushi is Wang Zhongsi and Wang Shuai, I wonder if Brother Ye has heard of him?"
Wang Zhongsi? ! Ye Qingcheng was suddenly stunned. What he was talking about was Wang Zhongsi who raided Tubo with 300 light cavalry in the 18th year of Kaiyuan and killed thousands of enemies? How could he forget him?
"You're talking about Wang Zhongsi and Wang Shuai of Hedong Jiedushi?"
"Haha, it seems that Brother Ye has not paid attention to current affairs for some time, but this is normal. Even we only learned some news after the courier rushed to deliver the letter. I think if Brother Ye had waited a little longer, I'm afraid It’s time to know. Yes, I am talking about Wang Zhongsi and Wang Shuai. He has been transferred to Shuofang Jiedushi. Originally, he continued to serve as Hedong Jiedushi some time ago. However, due to the adjustment of his duties, he is now The positions of the major military governors were slightly changed. Tian Renwan, the former military governor of Anxi, was changed to the military governor of Hedong, and Wang Shuai became the military governor of Shuofang."
The year name has been changed? No wonder there was a job transfer. Ye Qingcheng nodded and roughly understood what was going on.
At this time, someone suddenly lifted the curtains on the window of the carriage behind Li Zheng. Looking over, Ye Qingcheng saw that it was a graceful young woman with a gorgeous appearance. She seemed to be Wang Zhongsi's wife. No wonder these Tang soldiers worked so hard to protect her. How could Wang Shuai's wife not risk everything to protect her?
"Colonel Li, Brother Ye seems to have been seriously injured. Why don't we let him get on my carriage and we can give him a ride? With his injuries, I'm afraid he can no longer ride a horse. If someone I'm afraid carrying it will aggravate the injury." The lady suddenly said with concern.
"This, this is not good, madam." Li Zheng looked embarrassed and asked a young man to ride in a carriage with his wife. Isn't this a clear excuse for others to gossip? If Wang Shuai finds out, will he still have something to gain?
"Just do whatever you are told!" The lady looked a little angry and said, "Obviously we were all saved by these three righteous men. It's not like you don't know Wang Shuai's temper. If he knows about this, Not only will they not oppose me, I'm afraid they will also strongly support me. If you stop me, he will probably say that you are an ungrateful person who does not know how to repay."
Lieutenant Li rolled his eyes and thought that this was indeed the case. Anyway, the lady had said so, so it would be a bad idea for him to refuse. The young man in black looked like he couldn't ride a horse anymore, so he might as well let him Get in the car.
"Brother Ye, you should have heard what I just said. It's better not to reject my wife's kindness and get in the car." He and several Tang soldiers turned sideways and made way for the carriage.
Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan whispered a few words, and strongly supported Ye Qingcheng in getting on the bus. After all, just now they were worrying about how to take Ye Qingcheng to the nearest town to rest. Now this lady's concern and consideration are a timely gift. Ah, she has greatly refreshed Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan's extremely bad impressions of human beings. They have seen a lot of human beings in the past two months, and the first impression this lady gave them was heart-wrenching. Feel good.
