I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"Isn't the world peaceful right now?"

Chapter 516: Attack on the Dense Forest of Songshan Mountain

Fang Xuanling was exhausted from the long journey, so he entered the elegant room that was arranged for him and rested.

Fang Liu was guarding inside the door, and two Snow Leopard Guards were on duty at the door.

Fang Yiyi and Chai Xueying had finally managed to come out, and since they were young people after all, they strolled around Songyang Temple.

At the end of May, Mount Song is shaded by towering green ancient trees, dotted with various flowers and exotic plants, which is truly pleasing to the eye.

Fang Yiyi looked at the lush green mountains, which could be said to be undeveloped, with admiration in his eyes.

What a beautiful scenery! Unfortunately, due to the development and expansion in later generations, it is now rarely seen.

But our motherland has become strong, and the green that had previously dissipated is recovering rapidly.

One day, the earth will return to its current beautiful state.

At this time.

Chai Xueying suddenly frowned.

Without waiting for her to warn him, Fang Yiyi suddenly pressed Chai Xueying's head and rolled to the ground while holding her.

Whoosh!

A hidden and swift arrow flew over Chai Xueying's head.

The sharp arrow cut off the floating strands of hair.

It was nailed into a thick tree.

The white tail feathers trembled rapidly.

"Right rear, leave him alive!"

A cold voice came from Fang Yiyi's mouth.

Xue Li and others were all shocked, and then filled with shame.

He drew out the Type 81 four-sided bayonet with murderous intent and rushed towards the direction Fang Yiyi said.

The grass and trees swayed, making a rapid rustling sound.

After a few breaths.

Xue Li and three other Snow Leopard Guards disappeared into the dense forest.

At this time, Fang Yiyi had already hugged his wife and hid behind a thick tree.

He hid his body completely behind it, and then asked his wife who was being protected by him with concern:

"Are you OK?"

Chai Xueying was still frightened, but she was also moved as she looked at her husband who was protecting her and said:

"It's okay, husband, let me get up!"

The next moment, she regained her composure on the battlefield and said quickly:

"Dare to assassinate us."

"Those people must have done something that cannot be discovered."

"In a desperate situation, he resorted to a risky move and tried to kill us to silence us."

"My husband, do you think the Zheng family of Xingyang was involved in this matter?"

Fang Yiyi shook his head and said:

"The Zheng family of Xingyang, they are very careful about their reputation!"

"Even if they wanted to kill us, they wouldn't do it so ostentatiously."

"They won't let us die under their noses."

"I'm afraid it's those evil families that Diezi mentioned."

"They are afraid that we will find evidence of their crimes."

"They want to frame Zheng Clan of Xingyang."

After a pause, Fang Yiyi sneered:

"If Zheng Clan of Xingyang knew about the audacity of those people, they would probably be so angry that they would die!"

"This trip we're on is going to be much more interesting than we thought."

Chai Xueying's eyes flickered and she suggested:

"Husband, how about we have a dog-eat-dog fight?"

Fang Yiyi scratched his wife's nose and praised:

"Madam and I thought the same thing."

"Once it's completely safe, let's go back and discuss a perfect plan with Grandpa."

Speaking of which.

Chai Xueying suddenly became nervous.

"Grandpa is resting in the temple, nothing will happen to him, right?"

Fang Yiyi frowned, then relaxed and said:

"Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are all in the temple, and there are two Snow Leopard Guards on duty at the door."

"Unless dozens of people suddenly surround and kill us, Grandpa won't be in any danger."

Chai Xueying breathed a sigh of relief, then said dissatisfiedly:

"This time, Grandpa came to the famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains to pray for rain on behalf of His Majesty."

"It is reasonable to bring along a guard of honor and a thousand soldiers."

"But we must bring only our own guards."

"Your Majesty actually allowed it."

"If we are really surrounded and attacked, it will be very bad!"

Chapter 517 Tell me, why did you kill us?

Fang Yiyi comforted him:

"Don't worry, Grandpa, this is a bit risky."

“But arrangements have been made.”

"Those soldiers actually came here ahead of time, but I don't know where they are exactly."

“Only our grandfather knows clearly.”

Chai Xueying was shocked by the news and said in surprise:

"Grandpa actually kept it a secret so well."

The next moment, she was smart enough to guess the reason:

"As soon as we arrived at the foot of Mount Song, people from the Zheng family of Xingyang showed up."

"Grandpa had anticipated this and knew that someone along the way would leak the information?"

Fang Yiyi nodded and said, "How clever."

"Grandpa is showing weakness to the enemy so that they can let down their guard."

Then, the couple chatted some more.

During this time, Fang Yiyi secretly observed and found that there was no movement in the forest.

He and Chai Xueying quietly went to Songyang Temple, leaving marks along the way to tell Xue Li their whereabouts.

After returning to Songyang Temple, I asked about the beginning of spring and found out nothing happened.

The young couple found a quiet place and sat quietly, waiting for Xue Li and others to return.

This wait lasted for nearly an hour.

Xue Li and the others were covered in mud and broken grass, looking miserable.

Behind them, a middle-aged man with his mouth gagged and hands tied was being led away unwillingly.

"Sanlang, there is only him, no other accomplices."

Xue Li reported quickly, kicked the guy to his knees, and pulled out the rag that was blocking his mouth.

The thin middle-aged farmer, wearing starched white linen clothes, stared at the priceless young couple in front of him with hatred.

"Bah, you bastard, kill me if you want, why did you arrest me?"

Fang Yiyi was not angry, and asked curiously:

"Why do you want to kill me?"

Zhu Shangzong gnashed his teeth and said, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. What reason do you need?"

Fang Yiyi sensed the tremendous hatred emanating from Zhu Shangzong's eyes.

I suddenly became curious.

The person in front of him didn't seem to be a killer sent by those nobles.

He walked up to Zhu Shangzong, squatted down and looked him in the eye, and said:

"My name is Fang Yiyi, the third son of Duke of Wei Fang Xuanling."

"The other one is the current female army marshal Chai Xueying."

"I'll give you one last chance."

"Tell me, why are you killing us?"

Duke of Wei?

A good prime minister known to all in the world?

Zhu Shangzong was dumbfounded.

The next moment, he widened his eyes and looked at the stunningly beautiful Chai Xueying, and asked in disbelief:

"You, you are the Valkyrie of the Tang Dynasty?"

Chai Xueying, who was almost assassinated, nodded slightly with anger on her face.

Zhu Shangzong immediately felt extremely regretful and said:

"General, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you!"

"I really didn't mean to kill you!"

"The little one thought you were one of those bastards."

At this point, Zhu Shangzong quickly changed his words and said, "No, no, no, you are not a piece of shit!"

Boom boom boom!

Then, Zhu Shangzong kowtowed.

His reaction confirmed Fang Yiyi's guess and reminded him:

"Tell me, why are you killing us?"

Zhu Shangzong raised his head and explained the whole story from the beginning.

He is a villager from Beisanlizhu Village, Songyang County.

After retiring from the army in the ninth year of Wude, he returned home to farm.

Those who could serve as soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were not poor.

The dozens of acres of fertile land left by his ancestors and his military merits made him a wealthy man in the local area.
