More than a hundred riders rode slowly on the grassland.

Shang Huyun, the head of the Ministry of War, has a dignified appearance, with a majestic face.

He glanced at Wang Yugui, a doctor in the household department in front of him, and said: "Northern Xinjiang is vast. If you want to see it, you should first go to Taoxian County, first the big one and then the small one. This is the way to do things."

From Chang'an to Northern Xinjiang, Wang Yugui was not acclimated to the climate and conditions, and his condition was a bit miserable. His face was as pale as a ghost. He said lightly: "We went to Taoxian first, and the prefectures and counties below got the news, so why bother to patrol?

?”

Shang Huyun sneered.

Later, Yan Hui, a junior official next to him, said: "Wang Yugui wants to raid Taiping. If he finds out his fault, he will inevitably start a fuss with great fanfare. The head of the household is connected over there, tsk tsk! Yang Xuan is unlucky, the empress is there

It’s also shameless.”

"This is not just for the sake of the empress..." Shang Huyun is a member of the imperial concubine, and everyone in the military department knows it. He said solemnly: "Yang Xuan defeated the grassland aliens several times in northern Xinjiang, and he was in the limelight for a while. It is said that even Huang Chunhui was right

He looked at him differently. With such a young talent and his empress supporting him in the palace, it would be easy for him to rise to great heights."

When Wang Yugui turned around, Shang Huyun lowered his voice and said, "There is a man over there who wants to kill the empress."

Yan Hui was shocked, "Then Yang Xuan is so feared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that his momentum is too good."

"It's too pretentious."

"right."

"Then the queen asked the principal to come, is this because she wants to support him?"

Shang Huyun shook his head, with a cold look in his eyes, "I'll teach you a lesson. If you want to be a master, you must first be capable. You must rely on noble people for help... Do you think noble people are your servants?"

Yan Hui was startled and felt a chill in his heart, "Then we are here...just to be witnesses?"

"Of course." Shang Huyun said calmly: "The imperial concubine is favored by the Sixth Palace, how many people want to serve her? She is just a small county magistrate. The imperial concubine can say good things to him, but he has to stand up on his own first, otherwise

It's just a pile of mud, not worthy of being a royal concubine."

"A scout is coming."

Someone is shouting from ahead.

A team of scouts discovered them, just a dozen or so riders, all dressed in rags.

"Where are the scouts?" Someone went to negotiate.

"Scout of Taiping County."

"It's too shabby." Shang Huyun frowned, "Is this the Taiping Army that scares the aliens?"

All the way to Taiping, Yang Xuan led the officials to greet him.

The two sides exchanged a few words, and Wang Yugui said: "Taiping has won consecutive battles recently, and His Majesty is very happy..."

hehe!

Damn it the emperor would pay attention to this.

The emperor even guessed that he didn't even know that these people came to inspect.

It is not the emperor who cares about everything, but the gods.

"It's just a fluke." Yang Xuan said humbly.

"Let's go see the Taiping Army first."

Wang Yugui said while staring at Yang Xuan.

He was a special envoy, a first-class official. Normally, after such inspections reached the locale, they would rest for a few days, but Wang Yugui wanted to catch Yang Xuan off guard.

Yang Xuan looked troubled.

Sure enough, there is a love affair, is it because you are depriving yourself of military pay?

Wang Yugui smiled inwardly when he thought of the scouts he saw when he arrived, all dressed in rags.

Yang Xuan looked troubled, "The Waxie tribe has been preparing to make a move recently, so I ordered the Taiping Army to go on patrol."

Trying to cover it up... Someone must have leaked the news.

Wang Yugui glanced at Shang Huyun and sneered in his heart, "When will you come back?"

"This..." Yang Xuan looked a little embarrassed.

Wang Yugui sneered and said: "I was ordered to inspect, does Yang Ming Mansion have to disobey the order?"

"I don't dare." Yang Xuan calmed down, "In two days."

"Okay, I will wait for two days. If you don't arrive in two days, let's talk to Yang Ming Mansion in Chang'an."

Wang Yugui immediately moved to Taiping.

He summoned a meeting of his confidants.

"The sky is high in northern Xinjiang and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid Yang Xuan's so-called Taiping Army is not worthy of its name." Someone said.

Wang Yugui shook his head, "I hope that the results will be faked, so that many people can be brought out. But I also heard in the Ministry of Household Affairs that there are fierce soldiers in the Taiping Army. They must carry a bag in every battle, and every time they kill a person, they must take the skull armor.

Put it in the pocket. After the battle, the pocket is full of heads..."

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "With such fierce soldiers, the results must be true."

Wang Yugui nodded, "But the Taiping Army's clothes are in tatters, so there must be some romance in them." There was a coldness in his eyes, "We came from behind, but we met the Taiping Army's scouts. The scouts did not go to the north to send sentries.

However, he is coming towards the Tang Dynasty, who does he want to spy on?"

"You're not asking for it!" someone said excitedly, "He feels guilty."

Wang Yugui said calmly: "We are lucky. We found his flaw as soon as we arrived. We will keep an eye on the Taiping Army and report them as soon as they return."

Everyone stood up and accepted the promise.

After everyone left, Wang Yugui picked up the tea cup and said, "I thought this trip would be a big trouble, but Shang Huyun just looked at it. Good things. Border fortresses are full of love and evil. Wait until I catch Yang Xuan..."

He raised his head, his eyes filled with contentment, "As the saying goes, climbing up on skeletons is the most satisfying thing. I'm almost ready for promotion."

Boom!

The tea cup stood on the table.

Wang Yugui said coldly: "In this case, use Yang Xuan as a stepping stone for my promotion!"

In another room, Shang Huyun was furious, "The scout actually went to the direction of Datang to spy. Does he want to rebel?"

Yan Hui's lips twitched, "Sir, the Taiping Army only has a thousand people, and there are more than a thousand people outside the staff. The total is only more than two thousand people. His wish to rebel is a wishful thinking."

"He actually sent a scout to find out when we would arrive in Taiping. He's just asking for it."

"Many border generals have their faults. This matter is a matter of public opinion in the Ministry of War. There is no fault at all."

"The faults vary from big to small. The scouts' clothes are too ragged. Didn't the Ministry of War give them armor?"

"It seems like it's really not given."

Shang Huyun: "..."

Yan Hui smiled bitterly, "In the past, all good things were given to southern Xinjiang, while most of the goods in northern Xinjiang were junk goods. Yang Xuan probably found his own way, such as Taoxian County."

Shang Huyun took a deep breath, "Wang Yugui is coming fiercely, and Taiping seems to have a lot of disadvantages. Whether he is dead or alive, it depends on Yang Xuan's fate!"

…

County Hall.

"The person who came here is not kind!" Cao Ying said with emotion.

Because they wanted to avoid suspicion, King Wei and Li Han were next door and did not come over.

"It's better to be here." Yang Xuan calmly took a sip from the tea cup and said happily: "The fight between the imperial concubine and the empress has become more and more intense. I am a disaster."

"That bitch!" Yi Niang said calmly.

Cao Ying glanced at her and thought that after Lang Jun succeeded in revolting, it would be difficult to take action against the woman of the false emperor, but Yi Niang had no such worries. The more powerful the queen was at this moment, the more ferocious Yi Niang's revenge would be in the future.

.

woman!

hehe!

When Yi Niang saw him laughing silently, the anger in her heart burst out, "Old Cao, do you think my words are ridiculous?"

Cao Ying coughed dryly, "No, I think that bitch is ridiculous."

Yi Niang's face brightened slightly.

Yang Xuan smiled, "This is a good thing."

Yi Niang was confused and thought he was comforting her, and she couldn't help but feel warm.

"The emperor is getting more and more stupid. It is said that he now gives generous rewards every day, either to the family of the noble concubine, someone in the palace, or important ministers, spending money like water!"

Yang Xuan smiled easily, but Yi Niang looked troubled.
