Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 459
The terrain of Gem Lake is very strange, surrounded by mountains, there is only one entrance, and this entrance is actually a small river, the river flows into Gem Lake, but it is winter at this time, the river has frozen, and you can enter directly from the ice.

But next to the small river, at the pass into the mountain, there is a small checkpoint set up by the robbers. This is the only way to pass, and there is no way to bypass it. You can either enter here or climb in from behind the mountain.

Wang Pingan led people slowly approaching the entrance. He called the two bandit messengers and asked, "This is the only way into the mountain? If you don't go here, climb in from the back of the mountain, is the way easy?"

The two bandit couriers shook their heads together, and one of them said: "My lord, there is no road behind the mountain, it's all cliffs, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so our king... that's why Qu Zhimao, the rebel, built his lair." it's here."

The other said: "You can only enter from here. There are guards at the pass. It is not difficult to take it down, and they will not stick to it. The difficulty is that when they see someone attacking, they will immediately set fire to it, and the people in the mountain will be trapped." There are so many mountains here, not to mention hiding thousands of 800 people, even if tens of thousands of people are hidden inside, it is still possible to hide!"

Wang Pingan frowned after hearing this, but did not speak.Su Dingfang and Gu Lantian came together.

Su Dingfang said: "This is easy to handle. Let them go in and tell the people in the pass that the direction of Yumen Pass does not allow people to be redeemed. They must report to Qu Zhimao immediately to distract the guards. If you rush in suddenly, you will be able to take down the pass in one fell swoop, so that they have no time to light the fire and call the police!"

Gu Lantian said: "That's right, that's what I mean too, there is no other way!"

Wang Pingan thought for a while, and said, "Then let's do it this way!" He waved to the guards and picked out [-] individuals with outstanding military strength. The Ouyang brothers naturally wanted to join them all, and fierce men like Hou Ling and Niu Dali , are also among them.

Wang Pingan said to the messengers of the two robbers: "You have committed crimes and meritorious deeds this time, if you can successfully rescue... To tell you the truth, the two high officials who were arrested were not real prime ministers and generals, but their substitutes. But Even if it's a stand-in, it's worthless, but being caught would also damage the court's face, so we must eliminate Qu Zhisheng."

The two bandit messengers both said: "We all know about the substitute, and everyone in Zheliu County knows about it, so we naturally heard about it, but your lord...but we must do well what Qu Zhisheng told us. Go back, so I sent the letter to you, my lord."

Nodding his head, Wang Ping'an patted them both, and said, "You two have committed crimes and meritorious deeds. If I can save those two doubles, I will spare you two crimes and let you two enter the army as school lieutenants. The future is bright, are you willing?"

The two bandit couriers nodded quickly, both overjoyed, and said of course they would.

Only then did Wang Pingan let the two of them lead the way to earn the checkpoints on the pass.Ouyang Li led the team, followed behind the two of them, and walked towards the pass. The team hid in the dark, waiting for news.

After a long time, there was still no movement inside. Wang Ping'an was a little anxious, and was about to send someone to look again, but he saw a big fire suddenly broke out in the pass, and the flames shot up into the sky, and the shouts of killing also rang out!

Everyone was in a hurry, what happened, it was just to grab a pass, someone led the way, and sent elites, why did the other party find out!

Wang Ping'an only felt dizzy for a while, and thought: "It's broken, after all, the robbers inside have been prepared, and it will be even more difficult to rescue Fang Xuanling!"

He drew out the sword in his waist, pointed forward, and shouted: "Rush up, quickly seize the pass, and rush straight to the hollow mountain, hurry up!"

The guard group behind did not move, while the Turkic soldiers, led by Su Dingfang, each raised their weapons and rushed to the pass!
Just now, Ouyang Li and the others touched the edge of the pass, and it was quite smooth. They are all people with great martial arts skills. They dived to the mountain pass, and the robbers guarding the pass did not find anything unusual.Ouyang Li ordered the two bandit couriers to attract the attention of the guarding bandit in the past, but the two bandit couriers were very obedient, letting the past pass by without any stubbornness.

But after the two entered the checkpoint, there was no movement for a long time. Just when Ouyang Li and the others got impatient, they saw someone coming out from the checkpoint. More than a dozen people came out, all holding something!
Before Ouyang Li and the others understood the taste, they saw those robbers smashing the things in their hands onto a tall bag, and then someone hit flint!
Ouyang Li immediately understood that this was a fire alarm, those people were carrying kerosene cans, and the big bag was a firewood pile!

The two bandit messengers didn't really surrender at all, but pretended to be very obedient. As soon as they were out of control, they immediately reported the news to the card-guarding bandits inside!

Ouyang Li led the people out of the dark place where they were hiding, and rushed towards the fire.But it was too late, the fire started in no time, and the robbers ran towards the lake, shouting as they ran: "The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming, brothers, hurry up and get ready!"

Ouyang Li and the others were in a hurry, and they used their lightness skills to catch up. They caught up with these robbers in a short time.Slash wildly with your knife, and cut down all these robbers!

But after such a toss, the robbers trapped in the empty mountain don't know the truth!

Su Dingfang led the Turkic soldiers and rushed to the ice of Baoshi Lake. When he saw Ouyang Li and the others, he said angrily, "What's the matter? Why did they set the fire on fire? Where are those two bastards?"

Ouyang Li was very upset, and said: "Accident, it was unexpected, who would have thought that those two guys would change their minds." He glanced at the corpses of the robbers scattered about, and said: "I didn't see those two guys, they didn't Maybe he ran away!"

Hou Ling said: "After they went in for a long time, these robbers came out to light the fire, probably to delay the time, so that they can escape into the mountains!"

Niu Dali let out a hey, and said: "These robbers are not stupid, those two guys want to be thieves, and refuse to submit to the court!"

But Su Dingfang said: "Miscalculation, since that Qu Zhimao sent the two of them here, it means that they are hard-core confidants and will never surrender. Miscalculation for a while, and they fell into their trap!"

"What's the use of talking about it now, hurry up and kill the robbers before they're ready!" Ouyang Li rushed forward with a big sword.

Su Dingfang didn't complain anymore, and led the Turkic soldiers to follow up, and together they went to kill the empty mountain on the opposite side of the lake.

Not long after, Wang Ping'an also came to the lake, followed by Gu Lantian and You Xiujie, they were not the main force, so they marched behind.

Gu Lantian stomped his feet and shouted: "It's over this time, Qu Zhimao must kill Fang Xiangye, our future is over!"

You Xiujie remained silent, his eyes kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Ping'an was also very anxious, and said: "I didn't prepare well in advance, and I didn't expect all kinds of unexpected situations. It seems...it seems that it is really going to be bad!"

When they were in a hurry, You Xiujie suddenly said: "This is the way to enter the mountain, and the way to go out of the mountain is naturally the same. If you want to prevent accidents, you must guard the exit carefully to prevent the robbers from escaping. Wang Houye , the ancient governor, the lower official is a civil servant, and without knowledge of martial arts, it is useless to rush up, why not let the lower official lead people to guard here to prevent the robbers from escaping, maybe it can save a little bit of defeat!"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said: "It seems useless, let's go into the mountain together, with more people, the chances of winning are better."

But Gu Lantian said: "No, no, it's not necessary for everyone to go in together. It's better to let Mr. You stay here, maybe we can stop a few robbers, and we can do business with the court!"

"Then, okay!" Wang Ping'an felt that it was not appropriate, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but Gu Lantian and You Xiujie both insisted, so he had no choice but to agree.

You Xiujie returned to the pass with her personal entourage, while Wang Ping'an and the others continued to move forward.

While running to the opposite side of the lake, Gu Lantian said, "Your Majesty, that You Xiujie sees that something is wrong, he probably wants to abandon his official position and run for his life, not to be the governor, and flee to a remote place to become a commoner!"

Wang Pingan said ah, stopped, looked back, and said: "The life and death of Fang Xiangye is unknown, there is no need to abandon the official and flee now, right?"

Gu Lantian said: "When Fang Xiangye finds out about his life and death, can he still escape? We will definitely keep him in check so that he can be blamed! He is running away now, he has done nothing for officials, but he can still save his life. If you escape too late, you will lose your life together."

Wang Pingan said angrily: "Then you let him go!"

Gu Lantian smiled grimly, and said viciously: "If he wants to escape, let him escape. If Mr. Fang Xiang did not escape this disaster, then we will say that he colluded with Qu Zhimao, who made peace between the inside and the outside, which caused the Fang Xiang to escape. Grandpa was murdered, the so-called house thief is hard to guard against, we have nothing to do, anyway, he has escaped, there is no proof of death, he is the one to blame, we have nothing to do with it!"

Wang Ping'an stomped his feet and said: "You two, you only care about intrigue, and the officials have become so big, and it's unreasonable to plan like this!"

He ran away and Wang Wendu was fine, but Fang Xuanling had to be rescued, and monk Xuanzang had to be rescued even more. Otherwise, how would later generations write "Journey to the West", and later people would write "Journey to the West" How can I make a movie or TV series for my fan fiction?If Tang Xuanzang cannot be rescued... how many people's jobs will be ruined!

Gu Lantian also ran along, but he was not convinced in his heart. You said that we were intriguing and plotting against each other, but you didn't even think about it. If you plan carefully, we can be such a big official!
At the pass.But You Xiujie did not abandon his official position and run away, he found a big rock and sat down, asked his attendants to take out pens and ink, threw down a piece of underwear, and said viciously: "Those two guys are definitely trying to plot against me, how could I?" If you can hang your hands and wait for death, let me first write a memorial to explain this matter clearly. They plot against me, and I want them to taste my power!"

You Xiujie knew in her heart that the bandits must have been prepared at this time, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu would not be able to rescue them in all likelihood, and Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian would not bear such consequences, he must bear the blame.The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites people in a hurry. How can he not struggle a little bit, and when he goes to the execution ground, he can also have two people to accompany him, and someone will be the last one!
He wrote about the arrest of Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu with embellishment, and said that Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian were ineffective in their work, refused to listen to his advice, and forced himself to send people to impersonate Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu.The two of them insisted on going their own way, which resulted in the failure of the rescue operation. The crime was extremely heinous, and the responsibility should be borne by the two of them, but he was innocent and innocent. He did something wrong under the coercion of the two of them and could be forgiven. of!
After finishing writing the memorial, he called a confidant and said, "Take this memorial close to your body, send it to Chang'an, and present it to the emperor. During this time, don't let others know, lest Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian send people to intercept and kill you. You change horses." If you don’t change people, you must send the memorial to Chang’an as quickly as possible, and you must not stop on the way, understand?”

The confidant nodded and said: "Master, the little ones have seen everything in their eyes and understood it very well. The little one must take this memorial before those two dog officials' memorials, send it to Beijing, and present it to the emperor. It is up to the emperor to decide, and the master will not be wronged!"

You Xiujie said: "Okay, I'll leave everything to you!" After saying that, he got up and bowed to his confidant.The confidant hurriedly returned the gift, not daring to waste any time, ran out of the pass, got on his horse and galloped away.

Wang Ping'an followed the Turkic Brigade and ran all the way to the front of Zakong Mountain.The cave mountain is huge, and there are too many caves to count. The Turkic soldiers rushed in like chickens without their heads, looking for robbers everywhere!
Gu Lantian anxiously said: "This is not possible. There are so many caves in the mountain and the paths are complicated. We can't find Qu Zhimao directly. Even if we get to the innermost part, he might have escaped from other exits. We can't fully Block it!"

Wang Ping'an turned around and shouted: "Hui Zheng, there is a problem, do you two know the way?"

Huizheng and Younan kept following, but their physical strength was weak, and the further they followed, the further they followed, and they fell far behind.Seeing this, a guard ran back quickly, seeing that the two of them really couldn't run, so they simply carried them on their backs.

When he got close, Huizheng called out: "Uncle Shi, why are you running so fast!"

Wang Ping'an shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't you two find out the way in advance, do you know the way into the mountain, which cave should you go?"

Huizheng said: "I know, I know, my nephew has a map here, which was drawn by the local people. It is very detailed. Before this place was not a robber's den, the people often came in!" Saying this, he took out a piece of sheepskin from his arms Come, give it to Wang Ping'an.

The guards lit up the fire, and Wang Pingan looked at the map by the light of the fire, and said, "The place drawn by this circle is the bottomless pit, right?"

Huizheng said: "Yes, there is the bottomless pit. I heard that Master Xuanzang was imprisoned there, but now whether the robbers still imprison him here, my nephew is not sure!"

Holding the map in his hand, Wang Ping'an identified the direction, and said, "It should be through the entrance of this cave. Come on, let's save people first instead of fighting the robbers!" He ran towards the entrance of a cave first.

Everyone followed closely behind and rushed into the Sunken Mountain together!
