Gui Yuan

In the eyes of outsiders, this group of people is hopeless, Xu because they are high officials from the imperial capital, so he kindly let them die to understand.

Du Yuan looked at Ning Qing with great interest: "You are not as incompetent as you look, you were pretending before? I am just curious, when did you doubt me?"

Ning Qing slightly hooked the corners of her mouth: "Isn't it because of Lin Ruode that I came to Xuanzhou to look for you in the first place?"

"But what I said at that time was perfect, and the Emperor Tiangao was far away and the time was tight, so there was nothing to be found out logically. Besides, if he had suspected it long ago, why was he so defenseless today?" Du Yuan was curious, but he couldn't help but sneer .

"You can't just say what you say. You and Lin Ruode are right, but it doesn't mean what you say is true."

"Oh?" Du Yuan became a little interested, "You actually noticed it?"

Ning Qing pretended to wave his hand humbly: "Where is it? It's a matter of course."

-

That night, the inn.

He was just skeptical, until Fei Tian found out that Lin Ruode opened the Xuanji Grain Shop, and he suddenly realized that the rules and regulations had a place to go, and he suddenly became enlightened.Previously, I didn't know whether Lin Ruode's words were true or not, and I didn't know what he was hiding, so it was hard to deduce it. Once I knew the relationship between Lin Ruode and the grain shop, it would be easier to say.The grain in the grain shop must be grain and grass, but Lin Ruode withheld it privately, and made a lot of money by pretending to be a public servant.

Ning Qing said: "In this way, Du Yuan can't escape, he must be related to this matter."

Zhu Yu nodded: "That's right, as the governor, he examines and inquires about matters, and performs the duties of supervision. He is right under his nose, and he will not be unaware."

Even so, there was still something wrong, Fei Tian asked: "But if the two of them are in the same group, why did Lin Ruode confess Du Yuan?"

Duke Wei, who has been silent all year round, rarely opened his mouth: "For delay."

Fei Tian was puzzled, Ning Qing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and explained: "Nine out of ten, they are also with the bandits from the Southern Barbarians on Luoxia Mountain."

Zhu Yu was startled, his eyes moved, and he only heard him continue.

"Although they have soldiers, they are from the Great Wei. Even if they buy them all, they may not be reliable. If they rely on their officers and soldiers, how can there be no news of them reaching the imperial capital for five years? If you do such a business, you will lose your head if you are not careful. , naturally have to be sure."

He looked at Wei Yao and said with a smile, "It is precisely because they have hooked up with the southern barbarians, and the matter is so serious that they have to be thrown out to attract attention, so that the people who really want to protect them can be taken care of."…

-

Du Yuan nodded indifferently: "I underestimated you, pretended to be stupid, and almost confused the real one."

"you flatter me."

"It's just a pity that the net of heaven and earth has been laid, and the only remaining people of you can't escape. Although you are high-ranking officials from the imperial capital, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Unfortunately, you captured the bandits and died. There is no proof of death. .”

The blue sky is high and far away, the breeze is blowing, and there may be a few cang Geng flying around in the forest.

Ning Qing saw it and remained calm.

The Southern barbarian didn't know what he was aware of, and said something to Du Yuan, Du Yuan stepped back, and the archers went up in a row.Zhao Min grabbed Ning Qing's clothes from the back, and the bandit pulled him behind him as soon as he gave an order, and a dozen people formed a barrier in front of him.The archers raised their bows and crossbows, and at the critical moment, hidden arrows were shot from all directions, killing them almost at the same time, and the archers fell one by one.The bandits were shocked and shouted something, and the people below gathered together to guard their surroundings.

Many soldiers wearing armor and bows and arrows appeared from the grass everywhere, and surrounded all the bandits.Two men walked out from behind the soldiers, one in black was Wei Yao, and the other looked like a general.

Du Yuan was shocked when he saw it, and pointed at the man and said, "You, aren't you the guard general Cao Xu of Xuanyu Pass?"

"You actually recognize it, it's the next one."

This is really strange, Cao Xu was guarding the gate in Jiazhou dozens of miles away, how could he suddenly come to suppress the bandits without a decree or order, unless someone informed him.

correct!

Next to Cao Xu was a member of the group from the imperial capital. He felt familiar before, but now he had a premonition and asked, "Who are you?"

Wei Yao's gaze was like a torch, and he said indifferently: "Wei Yao of Northern Xinjiang."

"Wei Yao? It's General Zhenbei!"

Du Yuan finally remembered that he had a relationship with Wei Yao when he was in the imperial capital.Earlier, it was only heard that Old General Wei had a son, Father Xiao, who was brave and good at fighting. Everyone knew about the heroic military exploits of Wei who beheaded his son and regained the northern border. Therefore, when Wei Yao went to the palace to report on his duties, he had a look at him from a distance.

Du Yuan panicked, but isn't Wei Yao in northern Xinjiang? How could he appear in this corner?

When the boss heard Wei Yao's complexion changed drastically, he grabbed Du Yuan and shouted, "What's the matter, why is Wei Yao here?"

Du Yuan tried his best to break his hand: "No, I don't know either."

Wei Yao interrupted: "The matter has come to this point, and it will not help the matter to be anxious."

The leader was anxious, pushed Du Yuan to the ground, turned around and adjusted his mood and said to Wei Yao: "Wei Yao, we are all Nanman people, if you kill us rashly, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the Nanman people."

Wei Yao asked with a smile, looked directly at him and said, "At this moment and here, what you are stepping on is the territory of the Great Wei. The people of the Southern Barbarians are doing mischief on the territory of the Great Wei, but the King of the Southern Barbarians should think about how to explain it. How can it be because of you people? If people want to explain it, is it possible that you are not bandits?"

The boss was speechless for a moment.At this time, Wei Yao led three to four hundred soldiers. On the other hand, he had lost more than a dozen soldiers in the first battle just now.He thought over and over again, not knowing what he was thinking about, and after a while he made up his mind.He suddenly raised the knife, Wei Yao was about to raise the sword to block it, when the blade suddenly turned and cut across the skin, the leader fell to the ground, his eyes were still open, but a big mouth was cut on his neck.

The man fell beside Du Yuan, and he got up in a hurry.

Cao Xu wondered: "Hey, we haven't done anything, why did he commit suicide?"

Wei Yao glanced at the people on the ground, turned around and said, "Who knows."

Wei Yao walked up to Zhao Min and patted him on the shoulder: "Hurry up and take the injured person down the mountain first."

"Yes."

After Zhao Min took people away, Wei Yao poked Ning Qing: "Are you okay?"

"What can I do." Ning Qing said calmly, "Your subordinates do their best to protect me, so that I can be unharmed."

"Well." Wei Yao joked, "You have to be ashamed, and you will go to the school to practice your skills in the future, otherwise with your body, you can run faster, and you can count on you to save people?"

Ning Qingben felt uncomfortable, and she was not angry when she heard this, but she was more open-minded, and glanced at him: "Yes, yes, you are right."

Cao Xu ordered people to tie up the group of people and went to the foot of the mountain.Du Yuan's men had been restrained by Cao Xu's subordinates earlier, Fei Tian was holding Lin Ruode tightly, and Lin Ruode had an inexplicable bruise on his face, and was screaming.

Ning Qing felt strange, pointed at the person and asked: "What's the matter with him, he sent it to the door by himself?"

"Isn't it?" Someone accepted to take Lin Ruode away, and Fei Tiancai freed his hand to point to the distance, "Just now when we started here, I saw him sneaking around there, and it took me a lot of energy to do it. Catch up."

Du Yuan wanted to kill them, but what could Lin Ruode do?This helpless look is not here to help, is it?There are so many strange things, Ning Qing thought.

A mighty group of people were brought into the yamen, and they were all detained in prison for the time being.

At noon, Zhu Yu was the host and entertained Cao Xu and Zhao Min at the inn.According to Cao Xu himself, he was originally Wei Yao's subordinate. He moved here a few years ago to guard the border. Wei Yao arrived in the middle of the night. At first he thought that someone was so bold as to steal the barracks, but later he found out that it was Wei Yao.

"The general gave a rough overview of the situation here, and only then did I know that there are such people who have destroyed the country and the people under the city of Xuanzhou. It is really an eye-opener." Cao Xu said angrily.

Zhu Yushen took it for granted: "The whole of Xingchuan is here, which can be seen."

Ning Qing asked: "General Cao, you are guarding Xuanyu Pass, do you feel anything unusual these days?"

"Anomaly? We have been guarding the border day after day, but we haven't found anything unusual for the time being." Cao Xu thought for a while and said, "The weather is very hot and humid, and this year's early summer has more mosquitoes than usual."

A soldier from outside called out: "General, everyone is in prison."

Cao Xu responded, stood up and said, "I should go back too."

He only brought three or 400 people out, and the rest stayed behind. After the matter was over, he had to go back as soon as possible to avoid mistakes.

Wei Yao nodded and stood up: "I'm in a hurry today, I'm sorry to bother you, I'll see you again when it's over."

Cao Xu smiled and said goodbye.

After the meal was finished, Tian Cheng came in with a cold face and reported: "General, the study in Du Yuan's mansion was burned, and not a single word was found."
