Chen Shufeng was just a small figure in Chang'an. A small military attaché like Captain Jinwu Youwei could kill eight captains by throwing a brick on Chang'an Street.

But Chen Shufeng, the captain, was different from others.

The Jinwu Guards are the royal guards of the imperial palace. Like the left and right guards, they are responsible for guarding the palace, the emperor's travels, ceremonial chariots, etc. It may seem complicated, but in fact it can be summed up in one word: "the emperor's closest attendant."

Of course, a captain of the Jinwu Guards is not worth mentioning, but the captain Chen Shufeng had a very good relationship with someone when he was in Chang'an, and they were almost like close friends.

This man's surname was Liu, and his given name was Luo Gu. Liu Luogu had no official or position, but he had a wide circle of friends in Chang'an. From officials to ministers, to traders and pawns, he could easily make friends with them, and he also had a unique way of making friends.

His charm, as long as you become friends with him, you are usually a true friend, the kind who can help each other in times of crisis.

The friendship between Liu Luogu and Chen Shufeng was not shallow. He was a little-known captain, and he couldn’t even remember the occasion when he met Liu Luogu. Liu Luogu’s way of making friends was very relaxing and not proactive.

Flattery, not deliberately arrogant, the acquaintance of the two is just such a coincidence. Chen Shufeng often meets Liu Luogu by chance on many occasions. They meet in a shop on Chang'an Street, two carriages meet on a certain road, and the family members of the two are inexplicable.

Met at a dignitary's garden party...

After various encounters, people who are not friends will become friends.

Liu Luogu has the ability to easily turn any friend into a confidant, even a life-and-death friend.

This is also very easy. You can deliberately arrange several times of crisis, take the opportunity to help, let the other person see your best efforts, and become a confidant after being moved.

In this way, Chen Shufeng became Liu Luogu's confidant.

Later, Liu Luogu knelt in front of Chen Shufeng and burst into tears. He told Chen Shufeng honestly that he was a subordinate of An Lushan, the military governor of the three towns, and was ordered to manage various dignitaries and courtiers in Chang'an for An Lushan.

Chen Shufeng expressed his understanding. The border generals held military power and were far away from the center of power in Chang'an. Many Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty stayed in Chang'an as confidants, specifically to take care of the powerful officials in the court. Once someone participated in impeaching the border generals, the confidants who stayed in Chang'an would still have to wait.

Chen Shufeng has long been accustomed to hurriedly putting out fires for his troops.

Their status did not hinder the close relationship between Chen Shufeng and Liu Luogu. An Lushan was still a side general loyal to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he could not be said to be his own master. On the contrary, Chen Shufeng and Liu Luogu became increasingly close.

Just before Chen Shufeng was ordered to escort Pei Zhounan to Anxi, Liu Luogu invited Chen Shufeng to have an in-depth talk. This time the main topic between them was Gu Qing.

The grudge between Gu Qing and An Lushan was the top topic of the topic. Then Liu Luogu made a request to Chen Shufeng, asking Chen Shufeng to find a way to get hold of Gu Qing after he arrived in Anxi, and then send a horse to Chang'an.

Commander An Jie will definitely be rewarded heavily.

Chen Shufeng didn't care about An Lushan's reward, but he couldn't refuse a confidant.

So what happened today, the soldiers of the Anxi Army were in turmoil because Gu Qing was reprimanded by a strict order. Chen Shufeng felt that he had finally waited for the opportunity. The Anxi Army was unstable, and the soldiers privately criticized the emperor. This was a perfect excuse. This excuse

If you show more force, you can draw the fire to Gu Qing. After all, Gu Qing is the head coach of the Anxi Army.

Therefore, Chen Shufeng led his troops to break into the Anxi camp without permission from Pei Zhounan and locked up several generals. At the same time, Chen Shufeng judged that Gu Qing would definitely send troops to rescue him, so he deliberately kidnapped several generals to the desert.

Tortured in depth.

Everything was planned and planned, everything was within Chen Shufeng's plan, until this moment.

"We have captured three Anxi military generals. One of them is dead. Let's go and see if the one on the ground is still alive." Chen Shufeng raised his chin and signaled.

The sergeant of the cavalry under his command stepped forward to check on the general who had been dragged several miles by the horse. After a while, the sergeant reported: "Colonel Chen, this man is still breathing, but if he is tortured again, he may not survive."

.”

Chen Shufeng frowned and murmured: "It would be troublesome if the people are dead and we haven't obtained their confessions. It's hard for Pei Yushi to explain..."

The subordinate hesitated and said: "Colonel Chen, I'm afraid it will be even harder to explain to Gu Qing, right?"

"It doesn't matter, we are the emperor's messengers who were ordered to monitor Gu Qing and the Anxi Army. No matter how courageous Gu Qing is, he doesn't dare to do anything to us. Besides, these people we captured are indeed guilty. They talked about you in private, but we can't hold them.

Even if the guilty person dies, he will still be executed by us. How dare Gu Qing openly protect the criminal who slandered the king?"

Chen Shufeng did not take the dead Anxi military general seriously. For him, the instructions of his confidant Liu Luogu were more important than the lives of the Anxi military generals.

"Go and wake up the one who fainted, ask him a few more times, and tell him that as long as he confesses that Gu Qing is dissatisfied with the emperor, even just one sentence, I will let him go..." Chen Shufeng coldly said to the moving man on the ground.

An Xijiang, who was motionless, glanced at him and said softly: "You can give me some guidance. It doesn't have to be the truth. As long as what I say is what I want to hear, he can survive. Do you understand?"

The general nodded approvingly.

He turned around and walked to the unconscious General Anxi and squatted down. A bag of water was poured on his face, and the general's eyelids squirmed a few times before he woke up.

Li Siye's generals were all from Mo Daoying. They were tall and burly, but at this moment they were tortured by Chen Shufeng until they were reduced to human form. When the generals woke up and regained their consciousness, they immediately opened their eyes angrily and cursed: "Do you have the guts to fight with me, a farm dog slave?"

Fight to the death and try to defeat our Anxi Army, but you made the wrong idea!"

The cavalry general squatted in front of him and said coldly: "It is better to die than to live. Don't you understand this truth? I won't let you do anything harmful to nature. I just want to ask you, has Gu Qing revealed anything in front of your Anxi military general?"

If you have any dissatisfaction with the emperor or have said something against the imperial court, as long as you can remember one sentence and make a confession, you will not only survive, but someone in Chang'an will promote you and give you the title of Captain Guoyi."

General Anxi made a loud noise and said: "What grudge do you have against Mr. Gu? How dare you, such a bullshit lieutenant, openly frame the current county lord and the military commander of the military town, how dare you! I am so brave!"

Isn’t Lu Shengquan a despicable villain who is working for the tiger?”

A cruel smile appeared on the lips of the cavalry commander, and the two rows of white teeth in his grinned lips reflected the strong light in the sun.

"Okay, let's try to see whether your bones are stronger or our blades are stronger. Lu Shengquan, you are already a mortal sinner. We gave you the chance to live but you didn't know how to cherish it. It seems you don't want to live anymore."

Lu Shengquan also grinned and laughed: "Today I will show you, the dog thief, whether the bones of our Anxi Army officers are strong!"

…………

Kucha Camp.

Gu Qingyin sat in the handsome tent with a sullen face, still waiting for news.

Numerous scouts have been sent out to all directions of the camp, within a radius of a hundred miles. Every half an hour, scouts will rush back to the camp on flying horses to report on the progress of the search.

After waiting all afternoon, the scouts still could not get any specific information about Chen Shufeng and his party.

It was already dusk, and it was getting dark, and Gu Qing couldn't help but look anxious. After dark, the search would be more difficult, and the hope of the three captured generals alive would be even smaller.

When he was hesitating whether to send a few more troops out to look for people, a scout hurriedly rushed to the commander's tent and said loudly: "Master Marquis, General Shen Tian found traces of Chen Shufeng and his party passing by fifty miles away to the north. There are still traces of them on the ground. The horse dung and greaves blades buried in the yellow sand are the fish scale armor specially issued by our soldiers in the Modao Camp of the Anxi Army."

Gu Qing was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Tell Shen Tian's subordinates to catch up quickly and be sure to intercept Chen Shufeng for me!"

Just as the scout responded, Gu Qing hesitated and said, "Wait, I'll go with you!"

After saying this, Gu Qing sent an order to Chang Zhong to gather three thousand soldiers and horses to follow him out of the camp. Before the setting sun set, Gu Qing led his army and galloped towards the north with their horses whipped up.

When it was completely dark and it was no longer possible to tell the direction in the desert, Gu Qing met the scout who was delivering the news.

"Your Majesty, General Shen's troops have discovered Chen Shufeng and his party, divided their forces to outflank them, and stopped them twenty miles ahead."

Gu Qing asked hurriedly: "Has the Anxi military general who was captured been injured?"

The scout shook his head: "I don't know, the two armies are facing each other at the moment. It's dark and we don't know who the other side is."

Gu Qing immediately ordered to speed up the march and gallop towards the front.

Three thousand soldiers and horses held torches, and scouts led the way. It took an hour to arrive at Shen Tian's headquarters.

At this time, everyone was in the desert, surrounded by confusion and no direction. When Gu Qing arrived, Shen Tian was riding a horse and yelling angrily. He raised his whip and yelled at Chen Shufeng's men in the distance, threatening to cut the opponent's body into pieces. Thousands of sections.

He was scolded, but Shen Tian didn't dare to move.

He was very afraid of Chen Shufeng's identity, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that killing Chen Shufeng impulsively would bring big trouble to the Marquis, so he could only order his troops to surround him and wait for the Marquis to come and deal with it. .

Seeing Gu Qing leading three thousand soldiers and horses arriving at night, Shen Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly dismounted to pay his respects.

"Master Hou, that Chen Shufeng deserves to be chopped into pieces with a thousand cuts. He has been here in Anxi for so long, but he didn't realize that this silent man is actually more poisonous than a poisonous snake!" Shen Tian said angrily.

Gu Qing also dismounted, standing on a sand dune and watching Chen Shufeng's camp from a distance, while saying: "What happened to Chen Shufeng? Are the captured generals still alive?" :(/

Shen Tian shook his head and said sadly: "One of them is already dead. Chen Shufeng used torture on them, but one of them didn't survive... Lu Shengquan, the commander of Modao camp who was captured by them, was holding his breath and shouted to us just now. Lu Shengquan was also seriously injured."

Gu Qing's face suddenly turned pale, and his cheeks kept twitching.

"You dare to harm the lives of our Anxi Army officers. Well, I was wrong before and didn't notice such a disaster..."

While the two were talking, Chen Shufeng's cavalry on the opposite side suddenly rode out, waving flags and galloping towards Gu Qing. When he ran in front of Gu Qing, the guards stopped him, and the man shouted loudly: "The villain tells Chen Xiao." Lieutenant Chen, Colonel Chen is willing to have a private conversation with the Marquis, and please ask the Marquis..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qing suddenly said coldly: "Han Jie, chop him down!"

A cold light flashed in Han Jie's eyes, and he immediately unsheathed his sword. A cold light passed by, and a spurt of blood spurted from the knight's throat. He opened his eyes in disbelief and fell down from his horse.

Shen Tian on the side swallowed secretly, showing awe.

Everyone said that Mr. Gu had a bad temper, and today he found out about it.

Gu Qing didn't even look at the twitching body on the ground. He stared at Chen Shufeng's camp in front of him and said slowly: "I, Gu Qing, never accept negotiations, only life and death. Shen Tian!"

"The end is here!"
Chapter completed!
