There was already a little summer in the air. The climax of spring gradually came to an end. Large areas of green replaced the colorful land. The wheat fields on the land of Guanzhong were yellowed, and there was a thriving scene everywhere. Early summer in the seventh year of Tianbao has arrived.

That morning, a team of soldiers riding horses came on the official road east of Chang'an. The leader was Li Qing'an, who had just returned from Yangzhou. According to the plan, he trained in Jiangdu for half a year, including two months of going to Beijing for school inspection. It was the time to return to Beijing. Not only him, but all 24 border generals will lead their troops back to Beijing one after another to be inspected by Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

His army could not enter the capital, but could only station outside the city. He led a few people to the capital in person. The one who came to greet him was Changsun Quanxu, the general of the Wanqi Camp, who was the chief rank of the Wanqi Camp.

"I haven't seen each other for more than four months. General Li seems to be a little darker and thinner than before. I thought that the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River would be moist, and General Li would become white and fat."

"There is no such a good thing. Shooting archery and riding horses every day is a bit more tiring than fighting in Anxi."

Li Qingan smiled and shook his head, and asked again: "Are the others in Anxi back? I mean Li Siye and the others?"

"Li Siye and Li Fei Yuanli just arrived yesterday, and Tian Zhen hasn't come back yet. I guess it's only two days!"

"More than four months passed in a flash, but it felt like many years have passed."

Li Qing'an looked at the majestic Chang'an City, and he felt a lot of emotion. No matter how prosperous Jiangnan was, he still missed this world-class city with treasures and brilliance.

After walking for a while, I saw Mingde Gate from afar. Not far ahead was a fork, and the other side of the fork directly leads to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, more than twenty soldiers riding horses walked from the official road to the west. They were all tall and burly, wearing armor, and looked majestic.

Changsun Quanxu suddenly waved and shouted: "Brother Brother Shu, please stay!"

The soldiers in front stopped their military horses and turned to look here. The general in charge suddenly recognized Changsun Quanxu. He came forward with a smile, "It turned out to be Changsun Brother, long time no see."

The two of them dismounted and hugged each other affectionately. Changsun Quanxu punched him and asked with a smile: "Brother Brother Shu, why did you come to Beijing this time?"

"It was the emperor who called me to Beijing and said there was a major discussion."

"Is it possible that Longyou is going to start a war?" Changsun Quanxu asked excitedly.

"Maybe this is possible, but it's not certain yet."

The general looked at Li Qing'an and asked with a smile: "Who is this?"

"Come on! I'll introduce it to you."

Changsun Quanxu pulled Li Qing'an and introduced him with a smile: "General Li, this is General Geshuhan, the new Longyou Jiedushi."

Just now, when Changsun Quanxu called General Geshu, Li Qingan guessed the identity of this person. It was indeed Geshuhan.

‘The Big Dipper is high, Geshu Ye has a knife’. Geshu Han was a scattered child when he was young. When he was old, he changed his past and joined the army in Longyou. After dozens of battles, he gained great reputation. At the end of last year, Wang Zhongsi was convicted and convicted of death. He temporarily served as the governor. Geshu Han was entrusted by the generals of Longyou to go to Beijing to plead with him. Geshu Han kowtowed behind Li Longji, "the words were generous and the voices were filled with tears." At this time, Li Longji had decided to appoint Geshu Han as the governor of Longyou. In order to buy the hearts of the generals of Longyou for him, he gave him a favor and pardoned Wang Zhongsi's death penalty and demoted him to the prefect of Hanyang. Geshu Han also won the name of loyalty and righteousness.

Li Qingan heard of Geshuhan's name when he was a teenager. He couldn't help but look at this general who was once prominent in the Middle Tang Dynasty. He saw that he was strong, with his shoulders particularly wide, had a big copper face, a full forehead, and a pair of thick eyebrows like brushes, and his eyes were bright, making people feel that he seemed to have endless strength all over his body.

Li Qingan smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "I have long been well-known for General Geshu's reputation in Xia'anxi.

"So you are the first arrow in Anxi, Li Qing'an."

Ge Shuhan also hurriedly replied: "I have heard of General Li's riding and shooting for a long time, and I have long been looking forward to seeing him!"

He looked around, then hugged Li Qing'an's shoulder, and laughed in a low voice: "General Li killed An Lushan twice, so I feel happy!"

"Where! It's not that I'm so good, it's that they are too bad."

"Well said!"

Geshuhan laughed, "Let's go! Let's go to Beijing together, I must invite you to drink."

The group of people joined forces and walked into Mingde Gate together. It was time for a lot of people in the morning, and people came and went around at the city gate, which was very crowded, and everyone slowed down and walked slowly.

"General Li, how do you feel when you go to Yangzhou to train troops this time?"

"It's not bad. I found some talents who were buried at the bottom before."

"General Li is right!"

Geshuhan also sighed very much: "Why can the border army emerge in many heroes, but there are few talents in the Central Plains Military Mansion. The key is that the Central Plains Military Mansion does not rely on war to select talents, but rather flatter and bribe to please, so most of the real talents are buried."

The two of them said as they walked into the city cave, which became more crowded. The soldiers guarding the gate had to check one by one before they could enter the city. Therefore, the progress was extremely slow. Seven or eight carriages lined up in the middle of the city cave, and pedestrians walked past both sides.

Li Qingan suddenly saw the word "Pei" written on the flag on the front carriage, and asked Changsun Quanxu: "Is the carriage in the front from Pei Xiangguo's mansion?"

Changsun Quanxu looked at it and smiled and said, "That's right! Mrs. Pei should be returning from going to the temple outside the city to burn incense."

He pointed to a young man riding a horse next to the carriage and said, "That is Pei Kuan's eldest grandson."

When Li Qingan saw a string of Buddhist beads hanging on the carriage window, he smiled and nodded. The Pei family did not put on any airs and went into the city with ordinary people.

Suddenly, a scream came from afar, and several carriages rushed towards the city gate like lightning. A large group of horse-riding followers were guarding each other, and several burly men were holding whips to open the way.

"Do not go! Get out of here!"

The people and the small vendors were so scared that they ran to the sides. They were whipped a little slower and left blood marks on their bodies. The soldiers also knew these carriages and did not dare to stop them, so they all made way out.

Ge Shuhan frowned and asked Changsun Quanxu, "Who are these people? They are so powerful in the capital?"

Li Qingan had already seen the triangular apricot yellow flag inserted in the carriage, with gold edges and white characters on it, and the big word "Yang" was written on it. He suddenly remembered Dugu Mingzhu's words and asked, "Can they be the Five Yangs?"

"It's them!"

Changsun Quanxu nodded and said, "Looking at the two carriages in front, they should be Yang Ji and Yang Qi, one is Guanglu Temple Minister and the other is Simin Temple Minister. They are both mediocre people and only know how to fight dogs all day long."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yang family's carriage rushed into the city cave, and the city cave became even more congested. Several carriages that were already in the city cave were unable to move forward, and could not retreat, and squeezed into a group.

"Give up the way! Give up the way to me!"

Several men who were driving the road were very fierce. They raised their whips and whipped the groom who was driving the car. Pei Kuan's grandson who was accompanying the car next to them was about to step forward, but the old housekeeper behind him grabbed him, "Young Master, let me say it."

The old housekeeper stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "Several masters, please calm down. We are the family of Pei Xiangguo. We are not intentionally blocking the way, we really cannot retreat."

Before he could finish his words, a crisp sound of "bang!" appeared on the old housekeeper's face. He screamed and covered his eyes and fell to the ground.

The people around him were in a state of turmoil and were so scared that they stepped back. Li Qingan behind him could see clearly, and he couldn't help but get furious. Pei Kuan helped him a lot during the polo game. Today, the Pei family was humiliated, how could he stand by and watch?

He urged the horse to come forward, and Changsun Quanxu was so scared that he grabbed him, "General Li must not care. These five Yangs are in Chang'an, and even the princesses dare not provoke them."

Ge Shuhan also squinted his eyes and cursed: "Damn it, he's just a few servants, are he so arrogant?"

"They are dogs! Without the support of the owner, do they dare?" a small businessman next to him said angrily.

Li Qingan endured this and watched the situation develop coldly. The old housekeeper of Pei's mansion fell to the ground. Mr. Pei wanted to rush forward to discuss the reason, but was held back by his followers.

"Young Master, you can't come forward."

"You guys let me go, these bastards!"

"Yu'er, don't be rude!"

The carriage door opened, and an old lady in a second-grade brocade dress walked out of the carriage. She glared at her grandson. The young man stood with his hands down and said angrily: "Grandmother, the old housekeeper came forward to say good things, but they injured people."

"I know, you guys go back!"

The old lady stepped forward and looked at the old housekeeper's injuries. She saw that his left eye was broken, bloody and bloody, and was already ruined. Her eyes were full of anger. She suddenly turned around and scolded the Yang family and said, "There are always coming first and then coming when we walk. We are about to enter the city, but you block the way and are still trying to beat people. Don't you really take the laws of the Tang Dynasty seriously?"

When several men who opened the road saw that the old woman was noble and dressed in second-grade clothing, they did not dare to be too presumptuous. They turned around and asked the carriage for instructions: "Master, it seems to be Pei Shangshu's wife."

A snorted from the carriage and Yang Chi's hoarse voice came out, "So what if you are a first-rate princess?"

Several big men understood it and pointed at the old lady with a whip and cursed: "Old thief, if you dare to fart again, I will whip you to death!"

When did the old lady be insulted by this? She was so angry that she trembled all over and pointed at the other party. She suddenly fainted in shock and anger.

"Old lady! Old lady!"

The maids shouted in surprise. Pei Kuan's eldest grandson Pei Yu was furious and drew his sword and rushed towards the man who insulted his grandmother. Before he could rush forward, several men rushed forward, hugged their waists and legs, lifted him up against the wall, grabbed his hair and kicked him hard.

The others were eager to settle the score with the Pei family. Several maids from the Pei family were so scared that they helped up the old lady who fainted and ran backwards.

Just as the Pei family left the carriage, a sleeve arrow shot in and shot through the thick ponytail of the horse. The arrow was extremely strong. The whole arrow penetrated the horse's feces. The horse was pulled and neighed for a long time, jumped up with the front hooves, and kicked two big men with whip. One big man was kicked off his neck and died on the spot. Another big man was kicked off more than a dozen ribs and hit the wall with his back.

The pain of pulling the horse was unbearable. He dragged the carriage and rushed towards the carriage opposite like crazy. The followers around Yang Li shouted and retreated and dodged. With a "boom!", pulling the horse hit the wall of the carriage. The carriage shook violently, and the screams of terror from Yang Li and two women came from inside.

The horse was wild and rushed forward desperately. Another loud bang. Yang Qi's carriage was overturned and overturned. The dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate saw that the situation was critical, and they all cut guns and stabbed the horse. After a moment, the horse was crazy and fell into a pool of blood. The carriage it pulled over was also overturned. The city gate suddenly became a mess. Yang Qi's guards hurried forward to rescue Yang Qi in the carriage.

Geshuhan turned around and looked at Li Qing'an in surprise. Li Qing'an shrugged and spread his hands, saying that it had nothing to do with him. Geshuhan smiled, gave him a thumbs up, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The group walked through the city gate hole along the wall. When passing by Pei Yu, Li Qing'an leaned over and pulled Pei Yu, who was on the ground, and rushed out of the city gate hole with Ge Shuhan and rushed into Zhuque Street.

Turning to a corner, Li Qing'an put Pei Yu down and smiled and said, "Young Master Pei, two fists are hard to beat four hands, don't fight them."

Pei Yu recognized Li Qing'an, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and bowed and said, "Thank you General Li for saving me."

"No need, I'll say hello to Old Prime Minister Pei on my behalf!"

Li Qingan bowed and urged the horse to chase Geshuhan.

When he arrived at Zhuque Gate, Brother Shuhan smiled at Li Qing'an and said, "General Li, let's break up. I'll come to you for a drink tomorrow or the next day."

Li Qingan bowed and smiled, "Okay! I'm waiting for General Geshu."

"Okay! See you next day."

Ge Shuhan waved his hand and said goodbye with his follower.

When Li Qing'an shot the small crossbow secretly, Changsun Quanxu was right next to him. He saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel worried: "General Li, shoot that horse with an arrow. Once the Yang family finds out, they won't let you go."

Li Qingan smiled disdainfully and said, "General Changsun, a real man should be worthy of his heart in dealing with things. Since I, Li Qingan, dare to take action, why should I be afraid of their revenge? Thank you General Changsun for coming to pick me up today and say goodbye."

He clasped his fists and urged his horse to gallop towards Gao Lishi's mansion. Changsun Quanxu looked at his back and shook his head worriedly.

After a moment, the group came to Gao Lishi's mansion and happened to see Butler Luo coming out. Li Qing'an laughed loudly and said, "Butler Luo, don't be fine!"

"Ah! It's General Li."
