The moment the body fell into the cellar, the peace in the cellar was immediately broken!
All of Liang Fuchen's guards changed their expressions drastically, jumped up suddenly, and quickly stood in front of Liang Fuchen. They stared at the entrance of the cellar with vigilant expressions.
These guards are all brave and loyal men. Even if they are unarmed at this time, they still have no fear on their faces. It is obvious that they have already realized in their hearts that they must protect Liang Fuchen's safety with their own flesh and blood!
On the other side, Zhang Daozhen left Liang Fuchen's side, walked quickly to the body and inspected it carefully. After a moment, he turned to Liang Fuchen and reported: "Mr. Liang Ge, he died after someone inserted a dagger into the back of his heart! The murderer should still be outside the cellar."
Liang Fuchen was worthy of being an important court official who had experienced many battles. After encountering such an incident, he still had a serious expression and did not show any signs of panic. He just listened to the movements outside the cellar.
When Liang Fuchen heard the shouts of "officers and soldiers are coming to kill" from outside the cellar, his eyes suddenly flashed with light, but he did not show much joy.
After a while, Liang Fuchen raised his head and shouted: "Who is outside the cellar? Is he from the government?"
As Liang Fuchen shouted and asked, a young man's voice came from outside the cellar: "May I ask if Mr. Liang Ge is in the cellar?"
The identity of the other party was not yet clear. Liang Fuchen could not help but hesitate for a moment, not sure whether he should tell the truth, but finally answered calmly: "I am Liang Fuchen! Who are you? But you came to rescue me? Why did you kill me? A horse bandit who is willing to give up food?"
As Liang Fuchen finished speaking, he heard a slight cheer from outside the cellar. It seemed that there were a lot of people.
Then, the young man's voice sounded again.
"Great! Mr. Liang Ge is indeed here! Put down the rope ladder quickly, I want to see Mr. Liang Ge in person!... You all stay here and be on guard. The army is currently attacking the horse bandit stronghold. Because of our cooperation inside and outside, The horse bandits were caught off guard, and they probably have no time to take care of this place, but they must also be prevented from jumping over the wall and making all-out moves! This group of desperadoes are afraid that they will do anything if they are forced to do anything! As long as any horse bandits get close to this place They are all shot to kill!...Also, be prepared to retreat and be ready to cover Mr. Liang Ge when he leaves here...In addition, after the officers and soldiers took control of the horse bandit stronghold, they were asked to stay where they were. They were not allowed to move around at will, nor could they Interrogate the horse bandits to prevent them from discovering that Mr. Liang Ge was kidnapped by the horse bandits!"
As he spoke, the young man's voice was full of joy, and then he issued a series of orders, which could be considered thoughtful, but the tone of his voice always gave people a slightly frivolous feeling.
"As you command!"
As the young man finished speaking, more than a dozen voices were heard outside the cellar, all of them expressing their orders simply and neatly, and all the voices exuded a capable and fierce aura.
*
After these sounds reached the cellar, everyone in the cellar became happy.
Obviously, the other party came to rescue Liang Fuchen!
Zhang Daozhen, however, looked a little confused. He walked to Liang Fuchen and whispered: "Mr. Liang Ge, the young man outside the cellar seems to be a big shot. Not only can he decide the life and death of horse bandits, but he also has the power to mobilize officers and soldiers. At least he is an official of fifth rank or above, but the students searched all the civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu, but there was no official of fifth rank and above who was so young. Could it be that he was an official from the capital and came here specially to rescue Mr. Liang Ge? Yes? But the time is too fast..."
Liang Fuchen also looked puzzled. He vaguely felt that he had guessed the identity of the visitor, but he was not very clear about it. He just stared at the entrance of the cellar and waited for the other party to appear.
After this cellar was transformed into a dungeon by horse bandits, most of the stone stairs at the door of the cellar were also removed. The only way to get in and out of the cellar was to climb with the help of ropes.
Soon, a rope ladder descended into the cellar, and then a young man dressed as a horse bandit was seen entering the cellar along the rope ladder.
After the young man landed and turned around, his appearance fell into the eyes of everyone. He could be regarded as upright and fair, but his temperament was slightly frivolous, but he did not look like a big shot in the officialdom.
After seeing this person's appearance, Liang Fuchen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he thought to himself: "So it's him! I remember that this person is Zhao Junchen's confidant, and his surname is indeed Xu..."
Just when Liang Fuchen was thinking deeply, this young man had already walked quickly to Liang Fuchen, but he knelt down and saluted neatly. His tone was full of sincerity and sincere concern, and said: "Xu Qingyan, the villain, pays homage to Liang Ge. Old! The villain came late to the rescue and made you suffer here for many days. Please forgive me! Mr. Liang Ge, please rest assured. The villain has mobilized two thousand elite border troops and is now attacking the horse bandit stronghold. I believe it will be very soon. All the horse bandits will be wiped out soon, and Mr. Liang Ge will be out of trouble soon!"
Liang Fuchen looked at Xu Qingyan carefully and suddenly asked: "I remember you, you are Zhao Junchen's close confidant! So it seems that this rescue operation of me was done by Zhao Junchen? What is going on outside now? ? Since the officers and soldiers are attacking the horse bandit stronghold, why did you show up here in advance? Or are you dressed in horse bandit clothes? Also, you are just Zhao Junchen's long-term attendant and have no official status. Why did Zhao Junchen rescue him? Should I leave my affairs to you instead of the local government or Jinyiwei?"
Liang Fuchen had been imprisoned for too long and had not received any news from the outside, but he asked many questions in succession.
Among these questions, several are quite sensitive, and there are some hints of probing.
After all, in Liang Fuchen's mind, Zhao Junchen was also one of the suspects behind the scenes of instigating the horse bandits to kidnap him. Xu Qingyan, as Zhao Junchen's confidant Chang Sui, suddenly appeared here to rescue Liang Fuchen. The timing was a bit of a coincidence. Liang Fuchen was naturally If you have doubts, you will inevitably have to test something.
Xu Qingyan seemed not to be aware of the sensitivity of these issues and Liang Fuchen's probing intentions. He just explained quickly: "I would like to inform Mr. Liang Ge, Mr. Zhao, after he learned that Mr. Liang Ge was kidnapped by horse bandits, Taking into account your reputation and prestige, the news was immediately blocked and only a few people knew the truth! It is precisely because of this consideration that Mr. Zhao is solely responsible for all matters related to your rescue, and has not allowed anyone to know the truth. The local government and Jinyiwei assisted in participating!
Mr. Zhao originally wanted to personally take charge of the rescue, but because Shaanxi and Gansu are currently leaderless, Mr. Zhao can only stay in Huamachi Camp to preside over the military affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu for the time being out of overall considerations. The villain is responsible! This is also for your reputation and to prevent more people from knowing about this!
Therefore, Mr. Liang Ge, please rest assured that the fact that you were kidnapped by the horse bandits is still unknown to the public. Your reputation in the government and the public remains the same. The border troops outside who are attacking the horse bandit strongholds only think that their mission is They are just ordinary bandits. I have no idea that Mr. Liang Ge is here. As for the guards outside the cellar, they are all close guards of my Mr. Zhao, and they are all trustworthy people! "
After a pause, Xu Qingyan showed a proud attitude of asking for credit and reward, and continued to explain: "After the villain was ordered to rescue, he quickly found the traces and stronghold of this group of horse bandits, but according to my master Zhao's I ordered that there are three bottom lines in this rescue operation that must not be violated. The first is to ensure the safety of Mr. Liang Ge. The second is to operate as covertly as possible without making a big show of it. The third is to ensure the majesty of the court and not compromise with the horse bandits. ; As a result, the villain is in a dilemma, and all the rescue methods he has thought of are inappropriate! Especially he is worried that the horse bandits will endanger Mr. Liangge's life when he is desperate...
But at this time, the villain discovered that this group of horse bandits was recruiting soldiers everywhere to expand their power, so he disguised himself as a refugee and joined the horse bandits. He also took the opportunity to sneak into the horse bandits stronghold. He has been lurking for four days and finally found out. I got the news that Mr. Liang Ge was imprisoned in the cellar. After finding out the news, the villain mobilized nearby border troops in the name of Mr. Zhao and rushed here to eliminate the banditry. After the officers and soldiers arrived, the villain secretly opened the door He entered the gate of the horse bandit stronghold and caught the horse bandits off guard. On the other hand, he led the guards to sneak here to look for traces of you, Mr. Liang Ge, to ensure your safety and prevent the horse bandits from being annihilated by officers and soldiers. On this occasion, the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry. "
At this point, Xu Qingyan's claim for credit became more obvious, and he added: "Now, the officers and soldiers have invaded the stronghold of the horse bandits. The horse bandits were caught off guard and had no power to fight back, and they were completely unable to take care of this cellar. ! I think that in a short time, this group of horse bandits will be wiped out by the officers and soldiers. At that time, the villain will secretly escort you, Mr. Liang Ge, out of here. Please wait patiently for a while, Mr. Liang Ge! "
Xu Qingyan's answers were very detailed, as if they had been prepared for a long time, making Liang Fuchen unable to find any flaws for a while.
At the same time, Xu Qingyan's proud attitude of claiming credit is in line with Liang Fuchen's consistent impression of him, but it does not seem to be fake.
Therefore, Liang Fuchen temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded slowly and said: "I see, Mr. Zhao not only saved my life this time, but also saved my reputation for the rest of my life! But I owe you He is a huge favor!...Xu Qingyan, you are willing to take the risk this time and sneak into the bandit stronghold to rescue me, and I will definitely give you a generous reward after I get out of trouble!"
Hearing what Liang Fuchen said, Xu Qingyan showed a look of ecstasy and said repeatedly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Liang Ge! Thank you, Mr. Liang Ge!"
No wonder Xu Qingyan was so ecstatic. A "rich report" from a cabinet minister would be extremely valuable to anyone!
On the other side, seeing Xu Qingyan's performance, Liang Fuchen's suspicions were slightly reduced, and he asked Xu Qingyan the most urgent question in his heart during this period: "Xu Qingyan, I want to ask you, the current border defense situation on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu. What's going on? During the time I was trapped, did the Mongolian Tatars make any changes? Is your Mr. Zhao still able to effectively control the overall military and political situation in Shaanxi and Gansu?"
This time, Xu Qingyan lowered his head and replied: "These situations... I don't know the details. When I rushed here to rescue your old man on Master Zhao's order, the Mongolian Tatars had not made any move. At that time, Master Zhao He can still control the overall military and political situation, but now the villain has left Huamachi Camp for more than half a month. During this time, he has been thinking about rescuing your old man, but the news has lagged behind a lot... I only heard about the Mongolian coalition a few days ago Having invaded the defense area of Guyuan Army Town and headed straight for Jiezhou City, Mr. Zhao personally led various armies to fight a battle with the Mongolian Tatars near the Xiaochuan River. It seemed that he had taken some advantage, but what was the specific situation? No one knows the details, but judging from various sources, the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu is still under control."
Hearing Xu Qingyan's answer, Liang Fuchen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since being kidnapped by the horse bandits, what Liang Fuchen has been most worried about is not that the horse bandits will endanger his life, nor that his reputation will be hit, but that the defense forces on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu will suffer because he is kidnapped by the horse bandits. Things got out of control.
But while he was relieved, Liang Fuchen's suspicion of Zhao Junchen also rose again.
According to Liang Fuchen's previous deduction, during the period when the horse bandits kidnapped and imprisoned him, if someone publicized this matter with the intention of damaging Liang Fuchen's reputation and prestige, then the most suspected person behind the scenes would be several powerful officials in the imperial court! If the Mongolian coalition forces knew the news of Liang Fuchen's kidnapping first, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a big move, then the person behind the scenes would be most likely to suspect the Mongolian Tatars and the Han lackeys bribed by the Mongolian Tatars! But if Zhao Junchen took advantage of Liang Fuchen's imprisonment to do some big things in Shaanxi and Gansu and took advantage of the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits, then it means that Zhao Junchen is the most suspect!
Now, according to Xu Qingyan, Liang Fuchen's reputation has not been hit, and the Mongolian coalition has not taken advantage of the opportunity to act. On the contrary, Zhao Junchen has done a great job during this period, and seems to have taken the opportunity to gain a lot of military exploits. Such performance is Far exceeded Liang Fuchen’s initial expectations!
In this way, Zhao Junchen's suspicion naturally increased.
Thinking of this, Liang Fuchen remained calm and said slowly: "Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be able to lead troops in battle... It seems that during the time when I was imprisoned by the horse bandits, the Shaanxi-Gansu border defense remained stable. Mr. Zhao also took the opportunity to gain a lot of military exploits, which is really gratifying!..."
At this point, Liang Fuchen heard the fighting and shouting outside the cellar gradually subsided. It seemed that the officers and soldiers' attack on the horse bandits' stronghold was about to come to an end. Suddenly, he changed the subject and said: "By the way, the officers are watching. The army's suppression of bandits is about to come to an end. It is not convenient for me to show up now. I hope that Brother Xu will send someone to send an order to the officers and soldiers outside, asking them to keep the leader of the horse bandits alive! I always feel that I have been kidnapped this time. Things are not simple, so we have to interrogate the horse bandit leader personally!”
As he spoke, Liang Fuchen stared closely at the changes in Xu Qingyan's expression.
After hearing Liang Fuchen's instructions, Xu Qingyan's expression remained unchanged. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with such a request, and he quickly conveyed Liang Fuchen's order to the guards outside the cellar!
However, just after Xu Qingyan gave the order, everyone in the cellar received news that the officers and soldiers had completely captured the horse bandit stronghold. However, after seeing the impending disaster, several leaders of the horse bandits went crazy in the "Juyi Hall" "The collective self-immolation inside!"
In the end, all the horse bandit leaders were killed, and the officers and soldiers only captured some refugees who had recently joined the horse bandits! And these new refugees who joined the Ma bandits had no idea that the Ma bandits kidnapped Liang Fuchen!
After learning such news, Liang Fuchen's face suddenly dropped.
After another quarter of an hour, Liang Fuchen finally left the cellar where he had been imprisoned for many days and came to the place where the horse bandit leaders had set themselves on fire.
