Time was urgent, and it was not easy for Yang Xin to get rid of the guards. He didn't care about anything else. He asked what Xiao Heng had told him before. Seeing Tang Yuan looking at him deeply, he swallowed and said nervously: "Master Tang, I was ordered to rescue you."
For some reason, he felt a little nervous when he met Tang Yuan's gaze: "You must believe me."
Tang Yuan glanced at him, straightened his clothes and stood up: "Let's go."
He didn't say a single extra word or ask any questions.
Yang Xin hesitated for a while before reacting. He hurriedly caught up with him and called out, "Master Tang, are you leaving just like this?"
Tang Yuan stood there and looked at him: "What else?"
After looking Yang Xin up and down, Tang Yuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "They asked you to take me out of the camp?"
Yang Xin scratched his head: "That... not really. They just asked me to ensure your safety. I, I want to let you out first."
"What a joke!" Tang Yuan sneered immediately, met Yang Xin's gaze, and spoke with great prestige: "I am the new general appointed by His Highness to take over the 30,000 soldiers. How can I abandon him and run away?!"
ha
Yang Xin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't think of any response to what he said.
What kind of talk is this? How can he be a general now? He is just a prisoner!
But after all, his life was in someone else's hands. Yang Xin held back his anger and dared not show any dissatisfaction. He smiled and carefully persuaded: "That's what you said, but you also know the current situation in the military camp. Those people don't care about your identity. In our military camp, besides Councillor Yang, there is General Fu. Once Councillor Yang got into trouble, General Fu became the one in charge. Everyone only listens to him for big and small matters... Now we finally took advantage of him to go out, otherwise, I can't send him away so easily, you see..."
It’s better to cooperate and walk faster!
No matter whether you are a general or not, people have to take you seriously!
Tang Yuan laughed and just asked him, "What happened outside? He has been coming here twice a day these days to listen to their conversations. He is stationed in the barracks. What happened now? He wants to go out, and you took the opportunity to let me go?"
Yang Xin didn't understand why he asked this, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. After all, he needed others' cooperation if he wanted to leave. He held his breath and explained again about the trouble caused by the military households.
Tang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Yang Xin and said, "I'm not leaving! You just listen to me from now on. You do whatever I tell you to do. As long as you cooperate with me, I promise that after this, you will get the antidote and a sum of money. How about that?"
Time passed by little by little, and Yang Xin was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He was afraid that Tang Yuan would make some noise and attract others, so he had to lower his voice and ask, "What do you want to do?"
Tang Yuan looked at him calmly, with a clear gaze and a smile, and asked, "You are a captain, how many people do you have under your command?"
Yang Xin was stunned.
He didn't know for a moment whether Tang Yuan was mocking him or asking seriously, but seeing that Tang Yuan was still waiting for an answer, he had to grit his teeth and answer: "I am a thousand households, just like other thousand households in the court, with 1,100 people under my command."
Tang Yuan said, "Here, you also recruit soldiers from the natives, one male from each household, right?"
Seeing that he knew everything, Yang Xin didn't know what to ask. He felt unhappy in his heart, but didn't dare to show it, so he could only smile awkwardly and answered.
"With 30,000 people, you must have 30 thousand households here. How many of them do you know well?" Tang Yuan still had a smile on his face, not joking at all, and said softly: "Think about it carefully."
Yang Xin had already understood what Tang Yuan meant, but then he felt a little puzzled and thought that Tang Yuan might be daydreaming.
Tang Yuan didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, and asked coldly: "I'm asking you, you just need to answer me, is there? How many?! If you don't know, it will be the same even if Lord Zou comes instead!"
Lord Zou!
Yang Xin's eyes widened.
Lord Zou had just been reprimanded before. General Fu said that Lord Zou was a useless waste. He sent people to the imperial camp to gather information, but he always returned empty-handed and gained nothing.
Could it be that the reason for such perfunctory response is because Lord Zou has been subdued by Tang Yuan? !
Once suspicion arises, it is like a wildfire that spreads all over the prairie. Yang Xin shuddered and said subconsciously, "Three of them are friends who have risked their lives for me!"
"That's enough." Tang Yuan stopped talking nonsense and looked at him coldly: "I'm telling you the truth, His Highness won't want me to leave now, just listen to me."
Yang Xin had no choice but to listen!
He listened to Tang Yuan talking for a while, and then he came out with a pale face. At this time, the soldiers who were changing shifts also came back. Yang Xin greeted them, then wandered around outside like a wandering soul, and then went straight to the Qianhu Office.
The Qianhu Office in the camp was actually not far from General Fu's military tent. Yang Xin ran there directly without bothering to return to his own tent. He rushed into the Qianhu Office first and saw seven or eight people taking a bath in the open space outside.
Among them were the one he usually walked closest to named Tongshun, and his cousin Yang Feng. With a sigh of relief, Yang Xin greeted them both and went into his tent first.
Tongshun and Yang Feng also followed in.
Yang Feng looked at him strangely: "Brother, didn't you go out for something? Why are you back so soon?"
We used to spend the night outside. We were cousins, so we knew each other.
Tongshun was also a little surprised: "Yeah, what's going on? Your expression doesn't look right."
Yang Xin wiped his face, smiled bitterly, let out a long breath, and called out to the two of them: "Tongshun, Afeng, we are all family members. I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I have decided to surrender to the court. Will you follow me?"
He said this out of the blue without any preparation. Both of them were shocked and stared at him in amazement, completely unable to react.
It was Yang Feng who reacted first and shouted, "Brother, are you crazy? Can you just say that?!"
He looked around cautiously and didn't see anyone else, so he felt relieved.
Even so, he couldn't help but pat his chest and glared at Yang Xin nervously: "Brother, do you think your life is too long? You can say such words, aren't you afraid that General Fu will hear it?!"
My brother is General Fu’s confidant.
When Senator Yang was in charge before, Yang Xin was not very proud. Senator Yang naturally wanted to promote his confidants, but now it is General Fu who is in power! General Fu thinks highly of Yang Xin.
