Ye Chang had only more than twenty followers, but these twenty were all elite troops in the Jilizhou army.

The most important thing is that after two years of hard work together, there is no doubt that these more than 20 people are loyal to Ye Chang. Not to mention the soldiers, even if they come, Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if they want to kill Ye Chang, they will come forward to stop them.

Therefore, their swords were immediately unsheathed, and their eyebrows and eyes stood up, looking murderous.

Ye Chang waved his hand and sneered.

The group of soldiers surrounded him, and Ye Chang said loudly: "Who is the leader? Come forward and talk?"

An officer in soapy silk armor came forward and bowed with a smile: "I have met Sima Ye."

"Who are you, what does this mean?"

"I am here to be the magistrate of Zuolongwu Military Academy. Because I heard that Sima Ye has made meritorious returns to Beijing, I was ordered to come and guard him."

Zuo Longwu Military Academy Captain

The Zuolong Wu Army belongs to the Northern Yaya, which is a branch of the Li Tang Imperial Army. Now the actual controller is Gao Lishi. Ye Chang frowned and dispersed, and even the Zuolong Wu Army was mobilized. This momentum is really not small.

I originally thought that Gao Lishi was a fence-skinned man, but now it seems that he is not a fence-skinned man, but has made a choice long ago.

After a moment of silence, Ye Chang bowed and said, "I'm working hard."

"I dare not, Sima Ye admires his merits in Liaodong, and his merits are very respected." Zhuang Tan said with a smile: "Although he was ordered to come here, he is willing to do so. I don't know how many brothers in the camp envy him."

This man spoke smoothly, not like a military general, but more like a bureaucrat who had been in the officialdom for a long time. Although Ye Chang was not happy, he responded to a few words on his face and then went into the mansion by himself.

Zhuang Tan was not angry, and laughed twice outside the door. When the soldiers around him saw him like this, they were a little puzzled: "Why is the captain laughing? This Ye Sima has a big temper."

"Why do you know why I got this mission, others can only watch it?" Zhuang Tan asked with a chuckle.

The soldier secretly complained in his heart, it was nothing more than a short man who had high accomplices. Some of the abilities in the imperial guards ran to the border army to make contributions. The rest were either wine bags or just stubborn merchandise, so Zhuang Tan's turn was the one who came. But he said, "That's because the Captain Zhuang is valued by the general."

"This is why flattery is not the reason, but everyone knows that I am a person who is a good person." Zhuang Tan smiled and said, "Is it easy for you to do this job?"

"What's the problem? The one in this house angered the saint, and the best result was to be demoted. Maybe it's imprisonment, and even if it's chopped down, it's impossible to say."

"Nonsense" Zhuang Tan snorted: "You guys, think a little more. If this is the case, how can we touch our Longwu Army? Ye Sima was angry with the saint, but who else can send hundreds of thousands of chunks of money to the saint every year to the tutor into the tutor? Don't forget that our imperial guards spend money, and they are also the tutors of the tutors."

"What does the lieutenant mean?"

"This Sima Ye, don't think that the situation is not very good now, but we not only cannot offend him, but also have to flatter him for his financial management skills. So what if he is disappointed for a moment, it will be of great use sooner or later. In that case, maybe our reward will be brought by this Sima Ye."

"So that's it, the wise captain." The soldier was flattering, but he was thinking in his heart: No wonder this kind of battle did not scare Ye Chang. I believe he knew that even if he made the saint unhappy, the saint would let him go in his mind because of his ability to make money.

Zhuang Tan spoke very loudly, so people in the yard also heard it through the door panel.

"I mean I heard it and I want to make friends with you." Ye Chang smiled faintly and said to Shanzhi, who was puzzled.

What Zhuang Tan said outside the door should be saying that he listened to, not only to express his own difficulties, but also to reveal a little news to Ye Chang: Although some people are trying to make things difficult for him, they are just to make things difficult for him, not really to do anything to him, at least he doesn't have to worry about his life.

Not long after he returned to his residence, Cen Shen led Di Wuqi over there with interest. Cen Shen completed his task, so he was very happy. Di Wuqi was also excited about some of the discussions about "economy" that he heard from Cen Shen. But when the two arrived in front of Ye Chang's house, they saw the soldiers standing at the door, Cen Shen didn't feel it, but Di Wuqi grabbed him.

"What's wrong?"

"The soldiers at the door are imperial guards. No matter how favored by Ye Sima is, he will not be able to stand guard for him. What's more, these are not a few imperial guards who serve as ceremonial guards. Look... there are dozens of people in the front door alone, which do not look like guards, but rather... surrounding them."

Wu Qi has been in Chang'an for a long time and has experienced Wei Jian's incident. He is not unfamiliar with this situation, and his expression is solemn. After hearing his explanation, Cen Shen suddenly shuddered: "No way... why is this possible?

He just didn't pay attention, and now he carefully observed that Di Wuqi's judgment was correct. Di Wuqi looked at him, saw that he was quite frightened, and sighed: "It seems that this Ye Sima...is afraid he will follow in Wei Gong's footsteps."

"Impossible. Ye Sima is meticulous and has many predictions for everything. When he was in Liaodong, he asked us to prepare plans for various possible emergencies." Cen Shen shook his head vigorously: "What is the plan said in this situation..."

The plan is a countermeasure that Ye Chang vigorously promoted in Liaodong. He knew that he was not a god with complete plans. When facing Li Linfu, Huangfu Weiming, Gao Lishi and others, and even when facing Lu Qi, who is still a little naive, he was repeatedly plotted against him. Therefore, he formulated plans for various possible emergencies and promoted them to his rule in Liaodong.

After a moment of panic, Cen Shen calmed down. He thought of a plan, which was drawn up by Ye Chang before the war with the Khitans, which was how to deal with the military situation when the military situation was unfavorable. There was a situation in that plan with unfavorable military situation, which was what should be done when the small troops were surrounded by the enemy, and what should be done if the surroundings were outside the encirclement.

"No, it's not like Wei Jian and the others were arrested." After calming down, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fifth Duke, look, although these soldiers surrounded the Ye Mansion, there was no sign of attacking and raiding the house. They were not nervous at all. Obviously, they didn't think a fight would happen, nor did they think that the people in the house would run away."

Wu Qi also noticed this. Seeing Cen Shen reacted so quickly and recovered from calmness, he praised him. He heard his praise, Cen Shen couldn't help but blush and said humbly: "I have not had the determination. I have experienced many things in Liaodong and have done many deductions. As long as I can calm down, I can naturally see the situation clearly and find solutions to it."

"Although it was not a search of the house, it was surrounded. Mr. Cen, what should I do now?"

"Since it's not that raiding the house, the situation is not so urgent. I'll ask for it first." Cen Shen ignored the hesitation and bowed to Diwuqi, "I went to Liaodong with Sima Ye and went back to Chang'an with him. I think many people know about it, so I asked the fifth master to come over and ask what happened. The fifth master and Ye Sima have never had any relationship, so it will not arouse suspicion."

Wu Qi laughed, but did not refuse. He strode forward and went straight to the Dragon Martial Army soldiers.

"Please ask, everyone." He bowed his fists and said, "This mansion is a great mansion. I didn't see you when I passed by yesterday. Why did you come today?"

The Longwu soldiers all looked at Zhuang Tan. Zhuang Tan frowned and touched his chin suspiciously: "Who is Lang Jun? Why do you ask this question?"

"A scholar, a saint, has an order to summon people from all over the world to the capital to choose from. He came here to visit noble people, but he didn't know who was in this house?"

The scholars who entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination and selected the students, took their own articles to the emperor. Such things happened every day in Chang'an City, and almost all the famous scholars have done them for more than a hundred years. Di Wuqi said this, but it is not suspicious.

In the first month of this year, Li Longji, who had been evading political affairs for a long time, suddenly issued an edict to those who are more than one skilled in the world to enter the capital, probably because he wanted to play it for a while. This edict brought many people into Chang'an City.

"So that's it... I live here as a member of the Liaodong Marine General Office. Sima Ye Gong was in charge of the army. If you came to this house, you might have taken the wrong path. Ye Gong is a border minister, not a senior official in the court, haha..."

"I am not a senior official in the court, you are the imperial guards, the emperor's personal guards, how could he be here?" Di Wuqi was surprised: "General, don't coax me, I'm just submitting articles and will not disturb the nobles. If you are lucky enough to be appreciated by the nobles, it will be considered a good relationship with the general."

He could speak, and Zhuang Tan laughed, thinking that this guy looked smart. Since that was the case, he really should have a good relationship with him. Anyway, there is nothing to hide from his intentions. Zhuang Tan said, "Mr. I am determined. This Ye Sima has made great contributions to the border. This time, when I enter Beijing, the superiors ask us to protect him, one is to protect his safety, and the other is to show his momentum. Since Mr. Lang is a scholar, he should have heard of Ye Sima?"

"Ye Sima from Liaodong has heard of it, but he has never thought that he would be so trustworthy by the emperor... Since that's the case, I have to come here to pay homage. But I haven't brought the article today. I'll ask you to do it when I come again tomorrow."

Zhuang Tan smiled and agreed, anyway, the order they received was not to let Ye Chang leave their surveillance, and there was no way Ye Chang could convey messages to the outside world.

Wu Qi returned to Cen Shen, told him all the questions and answers, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Cen is not bad. It seems that until now, Sima Ye is still in danger. Mr. Cen has something to say to me. I will take the opportunity of sending him to the article tomorrow to send him in together."

"I've worked hard for the fifth man, but I didn't expect that I originally asked the fifth man to go to Liaodong to help, but I was in trouble in Chang'an." Cen Shen was a little ashamed: "It's really a coincidence."

"Why is the reason why Ye Sima sneaked back to Chang'an this time?" Di Wuqi asked curiously.

"Is the reason..."

Cen joined the fifth Qi explained why Ye Chang let go of Liaodong and ran back to Chang'an, while Ye Chang smiled in the house.

"Why are you laughing at by the fifth brother? The soldiers outside say it nicely, but they are really here to monitor and detain us." Shanzhi said: "But this level of surveillance is useless. We can get rid of the wall tonight."

"No need, if you really want to attack us, you just started, and even when we were in Li Linfu's mansion." Ye Chang said: "Li Linfu is now out, and he is driving the road and clear the streets by hundreds of horsemen. It is not easy to catch us in the mansion."

"did you mean?"

"It seems that some people are fanning the flames, some are promoting the fire, some are watching from the other side of the river, and some are following the situation." Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid our Xianggong Li is also evaluating how much ability I have.

It is not difficult for Ye Chang to escape. As Shanzhi said, when he walked over the wall at night, the soldiers of the Longwu Army who were used to being pampered in Chang'an City would definitely not be able to keep an eye on him. In addition, Ye Chang's various arrangements before, could be completely able to arrive in Dengzhou before the court's wanted orders were passed, and then flee back to Liaodong by boat. But this cost was too high. At least, the sister-in-law Fang, who was still in Wolong Valley, and her nephews, were also in Liaodong.

And this is the last measure taken, and now Ye Chang still has a chance to get back on the situation.

Ye Chang was thinking about how he should get back the current situation back. In a corner of Chang'an City, Yang Zhao sent away the servant who was passing the message in front of him and sighed.

He was following his eldest son Yang Xuan. He heard him sighing and said, "Why do you sigh?"

"Ye Shiyi is in trouble this time." Yang Zhao sighed: "I feel quite moved in my heart when I think of my past friendship with him."

"Sir, why don't you help Ye Shiyi with one arm?" Yang Xuan is getting older and has begun to treat people with Yang Zhao. He is a little close to Ye Chang, because every time Ye Chang gives Yang Zhao, he always has a gift. It can be said that Ye Chang is the first to treat him as an adult. Therefore, for this "Uncle Shi" who is not much older than him, he is willing to extend his hand: "Uncle has always regarded the word "righteousness first. When Ye Shiyi is in trouble, it seems inappropriate to watch the fire across the river."

"You are still young, and I don't know what's wrong with this, so let's wait and see again." Yang Zhao said.

Before he could finish his words, there was a thud in the inner room, and something came to the ground. Before Yang Zhao could react, he saw his wife Pei coming over angrily.

"What are you waiting for? Yang Zhao, do you know that you have spent 1,000 rule in this month. If I hadn't been able to get some dividends at the Anton Chamber of Commerce, how could you have such a good life? Ye Shiyi fell, who could have brought Anton Chamber of Commerce to make a profit?" Pei said fiercely.

Yang Xuan shrank his neck and immediately slipped away. Yang Zhao was immediately covered in dust and felt that his husband was in a state of disrespect.

The next morning, Di Wuqi and Cen Shen arrived at Ye Chang's house again, but after arriving here, they were surprised to find that the Longwu Army soldiers who were originally in front of the door had disappeared.

Where did these soldiers go?
