Chapter 801: White-browed Eagle King
Chapter 801 White-browed Eagle King
"Sanlang, Wei observes and asks to see you."
Qin Lang frowned, "Are you here to say goodbye?"
Zhang Chao said disdainfully, "What kind of farewell, I just want to run away. Damn, he has a lot of responsibility for the current situation in Guangzhou. Now that something happened, I don't want to help solve it, but I want to run away , What a **** bastard."
"It's not uncommon for a dandy in an aristocratic family." Ah Huang didn't care.
······
Wei Baoluan came in and said his farewell with a smile.
"Now that the handover is over, it's time for me to return to Chang'an."
Qin Lang looked at this guy, "Will Mr. Wei stay longer?"
"No, no, no."
"Let me remind Duke Wei that the outside of the city is not peaceful recently, and it is considered safe in Guangzhou City."
Wei Baoluan was determined to leave. For him, the city of Guangzhou was the most dangerous, and Qin Lang was a lunatic. If he went on like this, something would definitely happen. He wished to leave immediately, away from this place of right and wrong.
The sky is high and the earth is far away in Guangzhou, so it’s not good to collect money with peace of mind. It’s enough to work for a few years.
"Since Mr. Wei insists on leaving, I can't force him to stay. Mr. Wei takes care all the way, and be careful on the way."
Wei Baoluan was not too polite, said a few words and left.
Usually he only knows about corruption and accepting bribes, travels around mountains and rivers, has no political achievements at all, and runs faster than rabbits when things happen. Qin Lang is deeply ashamed of this kind of person, so he knows that he may be in danger, and he doesn't bother to send him guards .
"Really not sending troops to escort?"
"Guangzhou is currently short of manpower. He insists on leaving. I have already reminded him. How can anyone send him?"
"But what if something happens to him, after all, the eagle's nest is rampant in revenge now. If he is robbed or killed halfway, we can't explain it."
After all, Wei Baoluan is Jingzhao Wei's son, or the uncle of Concubine Wei Gui, who also bears the title of Duke of Hua. Although the Wei family is not as good as Fufeng Dou's family of Nine Kingdoms, it is also a family of Three Kingdoms. There are also a bunch of princes and marquises, one of the six surnames of Guanlong.
Such a character has made a mistake, and it must be difficult to explain.
In the end, Qin Lang just snorted coldly, "Wei Baoluan has resigned from his post as an observer. I have retained him to stay in Guangzhou temporarily. If he insists on leaving, I can't blame me. If something goes wrong, neither Concubine Wei nor the Wei family will be able to find him." on my head."
In fact, Qin Lang still hoped that something would happen to this Wei.
If Yingchao really dared to rob or kill this Wei man, it would further prove the correctness of his encirclement and suppression of Yingchao.
"Ah Huang, send some capable brothers to follow Wei Baoluan secretly. If the assassin from Eagle's Nest really makes a move, don't stop the rescue. Just follow them secretly and see where they take them, or after the murder Where are you going?"
Ah Huang's eyes lit up, "Sanlang is going to use Wei Baoluan as bait to catch big fish?"
"We must be careful about this matter, we must not reveal the slightest rumor, choose the most reliable brother."
"You can rest assured."
Ah Huang clearly knew that if the news about Qin Lang using Wei Baoluan as a bait leaked out, with the power of the Wei family, he would never let Qin Lang go easily.
"Is Wei Baoluan really in danger?"
"Half and half, Eagle's Nest will definitely attack Wei Baoluan who is out of the city. They are now biting everywhere like mad dogs, but we are very careful, and they have no chance. A third-rank minister like Wei Baoluan ran out of Guangzhou at this time. It is a good target to attack. Eagle Nest may directly kill Wei Baoluan to intimidate us, or it may take Wei Baoluan away and use it as a bargaining chip to force us."
"Has the old Eagle Nest dog been found yet?" Qin Lang is very concerned about this.
"Not yet, there are very few people who have actually seen the old dog of Eagle's Nest, and all they have seen is his masked black robe."
"For the time being, there is only one unconfirmed piece of information. The old dog has white eyebrows and beards. Some people call him the White-Browed Eagle King."
White-browed Eagle King?
Eagle refers to the Eagle's Nest, and Wang refers to its underground king in Guangzhou.
"Continue to search and arrest, we must capture and kill this person, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Although there is a great possibility that this white-browed Eagle King may have already escaped from Guangzhou City, or he may not be in the city at all, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must be captured and beheaded.
After pondering for a while, Qin Lang took up a pen and wrote a letter, but asked for help from the Zhenfu Division. As the largest intelligence agency in the Tang Dynasty, the Zhenfu Division has hidden eyeliners all over the country, and there are also special dispatched agencies in important places like the major governor's mansions.
Regarding intelligence, they have their own intelligence network.
······
Wei Baoluan left the city of Guangzhou that day with his guards and servants driving dozens of vehicles. Although he left this troubled place in a hurry, he was reluctant to part with the gold, silver, ivory, rhinoceros, spices and pearls he had accumulated in Guangzhou over the past few years. Those beautiful servants.
In his team, there are hundreds of Kunlun slaves and Bodhisattvas alone, and Bosiji.
The long team winds out like a long snake.
Cheng Chumo stood on the top of the city wall, looked at the convoy leaving in a hurry, and spat at the convoy with disdain.
"Rush to reincarnation!"
Below the city.
In the middle of the convoy, in a luxurious four-wheeled carriage, in a large compartment that can accommodate eight people, Wei Baoluan hugged a Persian **** the left and a Bodhisattva on the right.
A staff member of the scribe said worriedly, "At this juncture, will it be unsafe if we go out of the city, should we wait to leave?"
Wei Baoluan pinched the beauty in his arms, and said with a chuckle, "It's dangerous to stay, that Qin Sanlang is completely crazy, if things go on like this, those people will do anything in a hurry, I won't accompany him Let's go crazy together."
The staff advised again, "Wei Gong, why don't we leave in two teams, such a big convoy is too ostentatious."
Wei Baoluan said, "Don't worry, anyway, we don't go by sea, the old man Yingchao is strong on the sea, we go out of the city and go north, go to Shaozhou, cross Dayuling, enter Ganzhou, and go north to Jiujiang from Jiangxi."
He also knew that the King of Eagles was a foreign merchant with great power at sea, so he deliberately avoided the waterway, even the Xijiang waterway to Guilin, and went directly to Shaozhou by horse-drawn carriage.
"Eagle King certainly wouldn't have guessed that I would go this way!" Wei Baoluan was very proud.
In fact, from Guangzhou to Shaozhou, there is a river connected by Zhenshui.
But Wei Baoluan was afraid of water, and felt that it was not safe to walk on water, so he would rather go by horse-drawn carriage. As long as you pass Dayuling, you should be safe.
No matter how powerful the White-browed Eagle King is, it is only limited to Lingnan, and the main force is in Guangzhou. Lingbei is the Central Plains, and the Eagle King couldn't reach that far, and he didn't dare to reach it.
"When we arrive in Ganzhou, we will change the waterway and take a boat."
Ganzhou has the Zhangjiang River and the Gongjiang River converging into the Ganjiang River, which flows north into the Yangtze River. It is said that when Qin Shihuang conquered Lingnan and later Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty conquered the south, he planned to dig a canal in Dalingling, Ganzhou to connect the Gongshui River and the Zhenshui River, just like the Lingqu Canal connects the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River.
But in the end, it was all over, and later it was changed to widen the Dayuling Passage, which became an important road for the Tang Dynasty to enter Lingnan.
Dozens of vehicles, thousands of people, traveling northward.
Old Huang personally led a team of people disguised as a caravan to follow far away.
On the first day, nothing happened.
Wei Baoluan stayed overnight in Qingyuan City, and the next day in Zhenyang City.
The guards of the Wei family were all in high spirits, but nothing happened overnight.
At dusk on the third day, the convoy left the Guangzhou boundary and entered the Shaozhou boundary.
It was getting late, but there were no shops in front of the village or behind, and there was no city nearby.
The convoy had to camp out in the wild.
Because the previous two nights were safe and sound, and at this time they were already out of Guangzhou, the Wei family relaxed their vigilance even though they were camping in the wild.
In the middle of the night, the chirping of night owls sounded one after another.
Many assassins suddenly rushed out from the dark night and entered the camp. They sneaked in silently and knocked down the night guards with crossbow arrows and short knives.
When Wei Baoluan was awakened by the cold dagger, he was still confused and didn't know what happened.
"Wei Gong, we meet again."
Wei Baoluan saw a mask with two white eyebrows on it.
suddenly frightened.
"White-browed Eagle King?"
"It's this seat. We met and drank tea before. Wei Gong also received a lot of gifts and money from us. Why did you forget?"
Wei Baoluan didn't expect the **** Eagle King to come here, he was shocked, his lips trembled.
"What does Eagle King mean?"
"I heard that Duke Wei was going to leave without saying goodbye, so I was very reluctant to give up, and I chased after him for three days and three nights."
"The sage ordered me to go back to Beijing. My official position has been handed over. I can't stay in Nanting any longer. Time is running short. I didn't come in time to say goodbye to King Ying. Please forgive me."
No one can stay calm with a sword around their neck in the middle of the night.
Not to mention this is the time.
"Wei Gong, we had a good friendship before, but now the new Qin Lang is a lunatic, I want to ask Wei Gong to help me deal with it."
Wei Baoluan was very embarrassed.
As a result, the sword on the neck slipped, the skin was cut, and blood flowed out.
Wei Baoluan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."
·······
Wei Baoluan's letter and Ah Huang arrived in Guangzhou almost at the same time.
In the Governor's Mansion, Qin Lang first read Wei Baoluan's letter. The handwriting was very scribbled, and there were even a few typos. It seems that Wei Baoluan must have been panicked when he wrote the letter.
But it is certain that he is not dead.
This surprised Qin Lang, and even felt a little regretful.
Why didn't he die?
It would be better for this kind of person to die.
White-browed Eagle King robbed Wei Baoluan and did not kill him, but used him as a threat to ask Qin Lang to stop encircling and suppressing the Guangming Church, and immediately release the arrested and imprisoned members of the Guangming Church.
Obviously, the White-Browed Eagle King suffered a big loss in the contest with Qin Lang, and now he wants to ask Rao to stop the war.
"Old Huang, have you tracked the whereabouts of these people?"
"Stay dead. After they robbed Wei Baoluan in Shaozhou, they were divided into several shares. Wei Baoluan was led by some people to cross Luofu Mountain and enter Boluo territory in Xunzhou. In a manor. The manor is heavily guarded and must be a secret stronghold of Eagle's Nest."
"What about the others?"
"They also sent people to follow, and entered the surrounding areas of Guangzhou, such as Shaozhou, Gangzhou, and Duanzhou, and hid in the manor."
Qin Lang smiled.
Wei Baoluan still had some effect and caught a lot of fish.
