Chapter 354 Where is the retreat

Fang Jie suddenly felt sad when he heard the name Cui Zhongzhen, and he instantly recalled Cui Lue Shang's back when he left Chang'an. Because of the answer to a test question, he completed his trip to Chang'an ahead of schedule.

Even without that answer, he might not be able to enter the Martial Arts Academy.

But this sadness can only be felt by the empathy.

Zhongji, cheer up again. The sadness and will in this name are even more touching.

Fang Jie immediately changed his clothes and walked out quickly. Cui Zhongzhen was already waiting for him in the living room. When Fang Jie entered the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, because the man with a dark face and a strong body in front of him were not the same person as the elegant scholar who laughed at Feng Yue in his impression.

"You are..."

Fang Jie paused, but I don’t know how to say the following words.

"I am not a good job, Cui Zhongzhen, I have met the imperial envoy!"

Cui Zhongzhen gave a solemn and meticulous manner.

Fang Jie hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "Brother Cui, where are you from?"

Cui Zhongzhen looked at the people around Fang Jie. Fang Jie immediately understood what he meant. He turned around and said to the black boy and others: "Brother Cui and I are old friends, you can go out first."

Chen Xiaoru and others took their leave, and Fang Jie took Cui Zhongzhen's hand and sat down on the chair: "How long hasn't been here? Why are you like a different person?"

He could feel that the person in front of him is much stronger than the Cui Lue Shang he remembers. Not only does his body become stronger, but the kind of perseverance on his face cannot be pretended. Only those who have experienced ups and downs will have this kind of qualitative change.

"I was discouraged after returning from Chang'an. I wanted to study, write and find a place to be a teacher for the rest of my life. But my father scolded me hard, and this scolding woke me up like a sudden enlightenment. Seeing that I walked out of decadence, my father asked someone to change my name on the household registration, and then sent tens of thousands of taels of silver to the army of Li Yuanshan in the northwest, stuffed me in and became a lieutenant."

Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie's face suddenly changed.

Cui Zhongzhen knew that he had misunderstood and quickly explained: "As soon as he arrived in the northwest, Li Yuanshan turned around before he could make any military achievements. Li Xiaozong and I took our men and horses out of the Right Xiaogu, and saved Prince Xu and Lord Shumou of War, and then fled to Langru Mountain. Then we summoned the remnants and fought with the Mongol Yuan Tatars and the rebels. Recently, we have rectified tens of thousands of people and launched a series of attacks to mess up the rebels' rear... But after all, the troops are limited, so Prince Xu sent me to Yongzhou. He didn't expect to see you here!"

Fang Jie was still a little unhappy when he heard the name of Li Xiaozong. It sounded like this man did not rebel with Li Yuanshan but became a powerful general under Prince Xu. With Li Xiaozong's strength and attainment in military tactics, it was not difficult to stand out. Fang Jie only said that he did not expect that this man would actually choose to stand opposite Li Yuanshan.

When Cui Zhongzhen saw Fang Jie's face relaxed, he continued, "The prince has sent people to report to the imperial capital. As long as the imperial court quells the rebellion arrives, our people will cooperate with the army inside and outside, and it is just around the corner. But the prince also knows that it is not a matter of time for the imperial court to mobilize people. A while ago, Li Yuanshan sent heavy troops to try to encircle and suppress us, so the prince asked me to come to Yongzhou for help. This is closer to the northwest than to the imperial capital. If we can ask General Luo to send troops, even if it is just Chen soldiers in Huangyang Road, we can relieve our pressure."

"Maybe... he just felt that Li Yuanshan's rebellion would not succeed."

Cui Zhongzhen looked at Fang Jie and couldn't help asking, "Why did you ask him?"

Fang Jie sneered and said, "This man and Li Yuanshan and the others carry three thousand lives. I will get it back sooner or later. Although you are familiar with him now, I don't plan to hide it from you. The court has found out that the more than 800 people and more than 2,000 people in the Fan Gu border army were slaughtered by Li Yuanshan and him, but they reported it to the court that they were killed by the Mongols."

"this……"

Choi Zhongzhen said in surprise: "Why is this!"

Fang Jie said that Li Yuanshan was planning a massacre in the city to kill Wu Paisheng, and Cui Zhongzhen's face had become as ugly as paper: "You mean, Li Xiaozong knew that Li Yuanshan was going to rebel a long time ago?"

Fang Jie nodded.

A hint of fear flashed in Cui Zhongzhen's eyes: "If he had known that Li Yuanshan was going to rebel, why did he have to wait until Li Yuanshan's rebellion became a fact before leaving? If he really just wanted to protect himself, it would be safer to expose Li Yuanshan in advance than to escape later on the risk of being killed. If he told Prince Xu and Lord Mou in advance, then the 700,000 troops in the west might not be wiped out!"

Fang Jie understood what Cui Zhongzhen meant.

"no."

Cui Zhongzhen stood up and said anxiously: "If you say that Li Xiaozong is following Prince Xu, it is not impossible for him to have any dirty thoughts. After Prince Xu gathered all the remaining soldiers in the expedition to the west, he would collude with Li Yuanshan to send troops... If this is true, Prince Xu and Lord Mou will be in danger. I have to send someone back immediately. Before I come, Prince Xu was discussing attacking the important area behind Li Yuanshan."

"Okay, you send someone back first."

Fang Jie stood up, patted Cui Zhongzhen on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be too anxious. Li Xiaozong has not colluded with Li Yuanshan to harm Prince Xu for more than a year. Maybe I guessed it wrong."

"Anyway, this is a hidden danger."

After Cui Zhongzhen said something, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Fang Jie looked at his back and murmured: "Li Xiaozong... If you really collude with Li Yuanshan, and wait until Prince Xu gathered the remaining soldiers and then take action, then the evil you committed will be greater than the massacre of Fan Gu's people. How can you allow you to continue to live?"

...

...

After Cui Zhongzhen left, Fang Jie couldn't calm down. After he wrote the secret letter, he sent someone to the Jubaozhai shop and asked the people from Jubaozhai to send them to Chang'an City as soon as possible. Before he could figure out his own affairs, Cui Zhongzhen came, which made Fang Jie feel more and more impatient.

Waiting for his subordinates to come back and say that the people from Jubaozhai had sent the secret letter, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had to change his strategy. If he still pretended to be scattered in Yongzhou as before, the war in the northwest would be even greater. But when he came, the emperor did not ask him to urge Luo Yao to send troops. If he did this rashly... Luo Yao sent troops and did not send troops aside, the emperor would be annoyed by his own actions.

This errand, which seemed like it should be easy, is getting harder and harder.

The problems encountered now have completely lost Fang Jie's idea of ​​traveling for a few months.

"What happened in the northwest, do you care or not?"

Fang Jie asked himself.

If he really wore the imperial envoy's uniform and summoned all the officials and generals of Ping Shang Road and Zuo Qiangu to question Luo Yao in front of them, then would he still have a way out?
