Yan Baoshou's eldest daughter, named Yan Xiaotang, is sixteen years old today. She originally went to Huainan County to visit her uncle Yang Wei, but later returned north and went to Hongnong County via Luoyang to pay homage to her grandfather Yan Rong.
He planned to return home to Daxing after paying homage, but on the way, the convoy was forcibly stopped.
She refused several times, but the other party used his power to control her convoy and turned around to return to Luoyang.
"Father once said that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He has always had a good relationship with my uncle. He is the only one who can save me now. Let Ahu seize the opportunity to leave the convoy and report to Luoyang quickly to ask the King of Qin for rescue."
Yan Xiaotang whispered instructions to the maid in the carriage. The latter used the excuse of urinating to get out of the carriage and took the opportunity to hand over the instructions of his girl to his attendant Ahu.
A'hu did not dare to neglect, and followed slowly and calmly until the convoy entered a farmland area. As soon as he pinched the horse's belly, he turned around and ran back.
"Catch him back for me." Seeing this, Qiao Ling hurriedly called out four people from his men: "It doesn't matter whether you live or die."
Ahu fled all the way towards the capital. In order to get rid of the pursuers, he rode his horse into a forest. After a while of wandering in the forest, he found the direction and turned back to the east. He completely threw away the pursuers and ran towards Luoyang. .
Luoyang, Grand Supervisor’s Mansion,
Yang Ming asked Xu Jing to take away the Ahu who had delivered the message, and then called for Yang Su.
"It's not convenient for me to come forward in this matter. Who do you think is suitable?" Since Yang Ming called Yang Su here, he must be hoping that Yang Su can help.
After all, he directly intervened in this matter, and with Yang Xian's temperament, he would definitely go to him to investigate.
But this woman happens to be Yang Xiong's granddaughter. She has a good relationship with Yang Gongren now, so she must help her with this.
Of course, Yang Su was not happy. As the saying goes, if you mess with a gentleman, don't mess with a villain. If he steps in to rob someone and offends Yang Jian, this kid may not know what will happen to him.
But Yang Ming clearly wanted to go by himself, so Yang Su thought about it and said:
"I think we'd better not care about it, but immediately send a letter to Yang Xiong, asking him to come and ask for someone, so as to cause a conflict between Yang Xiong and King Qi. Yang Xiong is now the Crown Prince and Tutor, and he will not tolerate it because he has the Crown Prince's support behind him. This tone."
"That's not necessarily true," Yang Ming said with a frown: "After all, she is just a granddaughter, not a direct granddaughter. Yang Xiong may not be willing to fall out. Besides, your method is tantamount to directly abandoning Yan Baoshou's daughter. I am not willing to do that. "
"Your Highness is too benevolent and righteous, and sometimes you will suffer losses," Yang Su said.
"I'm not acting out of emotion," Yang Ming said with a smile: "In fact, once this girl is taken back by the second brother, she will definitely be taken as a concubine. The marriage is already done, and Yang Xiong doesn't care. As long as the second brother works well, Instead, I have the opportunity to form a friendship with Yang Xiong, which is not what I want to see."
"It's unlikely. From what I know about Yang Xiong, he won't be willing to suffer the loss of being dumb," Yang Su disagreed.
He will. The Yang Xiong of today is no longer the Yang Xiong of the past. He has been idle at home for more than ten years and has become a more honest person. He is no longer as strong as before.
Once Yang Zhao passes away, Yang Jian will be his direct competitor. Yang Ming will never let Yang Xiong become Yang Jian's person, even if there is a slight possibility.
The reason why Yan Baoshou was taken in back then was not just for Yang Gongren's sake. In fact, Yan Baoshou's father, Yan Rong, was a descendant of Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, and Yang Hong was the cousin of Emperor Gaozu Yang Jian.
Yang Ming thought about it and said with determination:
"Since the second one is playing dirty tricks with me, I will return the favor."
So, he turned around and ordered his bodyguard Chen Kui, saying:
"You go down and make arrangements. Let Zhu Sanli lead the team. He will lead 300 people to pretend to be bandits and ambush the convoy halfway. Except for the people from Yan Mansion, no one else will be left alive. Afterwards, you can go back to the capital directly without coming back."
Yang Su, who was listening, was stunned, stroking his beard and smiling, and added: "You must disperse out of the city and make an appointment to meet at a meeting place. If there are casualties, take away all the bodies without leaving any traces."
Chen Kui nodded and went down to make arrangements.
Yang Su smiled and said: "Then now, should we invite someone over?"
"Those who know me well are Yue Gong," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Dugu Zuan, because of his relationship with his adopted daughter Dugu Feng'er, is basically half of Yang Ming. And he is in charge of the affairs of Henan County. He can track all the people who come in and out of Luoyang.
"There is a man named Wang Hubao who entered Luoyang at noon today, and three hundred of my kings scattered out of the city at noon. I will give you a list. I don't want the Luoyang County Government to have records of these people's comings and goings. Duke Zhao wants to help me with this."
In the important city of Luoyang, name tags must be checked when entering and exiting the city. Those who are unknown or do not have household registration cannot enter or leave at all.
Dugu Zuan is a smart man and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will immediately send someone to erase the record without leaving any traces."
Although he didn't know what Yang Ming wanted to do, he knew very well that he had no choice but to do it, and no matter who held him accountable afterwards, he would have no choice but to deny it.

In this way, that night, Qiao Lingze's convoy was unprepared and encountered bandits in a wilderness seventy miles away from Luoyang. All the Qi King's guards, including Qiao Lingze, were killed. .
The prince's tribe led by Zhu Dali brushed off their clothes and headed straight to the capital overnight, disappearing into the night.
Yan Xiaotang looked at the corpses on the ground with dumbfounded eyes, holding on to the carriage and vomiting repeatedly. She did not expect that she would be rescued in this way.
Even Ahu, who rushed back, turned pale when he saw this tragic scene, and his legs couldn't help trembling:
"This...this...can't be Qin..."
"Shut up!" Yan Xiaotang shouted quickly, and then ordered everyone: "The convoy will turn around immediately and return to the capital."
On the way, Yan Xiaotang sat in the carriage. After a long silence, he whispered to the maid beside him:
"Tell others that no matter who asks in the future, just say that we were attacked by bandits. As for Ahu, you find an opportunity to deal with him. If you keep him, something bad may happen. When we return to the capital, I will settle his family. "
Her maid, who had grown up with her and was an absolute confidant, nodded after hearing this.
Taking the blanket from the maid, Yan Xiaotang wrapped it around him and stared blankly in the direction of the car curtain.
She was not frightened because King Qi's staff were killed, but instead became very curious about King Qin.
He must have done it. Bandits were rampant and he would never dare to attack the palace guards.
Yan Xiaotang realized that the reason why King Qin chose this method must be to cover up others' eyes and avoid offending King Qi.
From this point of view, he actually caused a big trouble for others, but the other party still took the risk to rescue him. This shows that King Qin's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is not groundless.
It's a pity that he speaks lightly and may not have the opportunity to repay him in the future.
Yan Xiaotang sighed softly, tightened the curtain of the carriage, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
