After the Hengye Army suffered heavy losses, they only had a few hundred soldiers left. Their foundation was very weak. The 50 soldiers that Wang Zhongsi wanted to give to Li An were the ones that followed Li An to deal a heavy blow to the rebels. They could be considered the best soldiers in the Hengye Army. This made Zhang Qiqiu's heart ache. However, Li An had helped him a lot in An Bian City. Giving the best soldiers to Li An was something that Zhang Qiqiu was willing to do. Okay.
.
The fifty elite soldiers of the Hengye Army, under the leadership of Zhang Guangcheng, were fully armed and waiting for orders. The forty brothers of the White Wolf Bandits, under the leadership of Lifei Shouyu and the others, were also ready to set off at any time.
These one hundred soldiers were strong enough to intimidate the bandits along the way and ensure that Ang Lee and the spoils of war safely reached the capital.
"Big Brother, all the soldiers have been gathered. The ten supply wagons are also filled with spoils of war. We can set off at any time."
Ang Lee nodded. "You all go first. I'll go say goodbye to Uncle."
"Yes, Big Brother."
Ang Lee galloped to Wang Zhongsi and immediately cupped his hands. "Uncle, I'm going to the capital now. I'm here to say goodbye."
Wang Zhongsi nodded. "The situation in the Turkic Khaganate has suddenly changed, so Uncle must immediately return to the north. Be careful on the road. Once you reach the capital, you can go and find your Uncle Yan. He has been in the capital for ten years and is rather familiar with the situation there."
"Yes, I understand." Ang Lee replied. He looked at Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Ziyi, and the others and cupped his hands. "Generals, Ang Lee will take his leave. Take care."
"Take care." Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Ziyi, and the others cupped their hands in return.
Ang Lee looked at them one last time before galloping to catch up with the group that had already left.
Looking at Ang Lee's back, Zhang Qiqiu sighed. "Marshal, Li Shaolang was summoned by His Majesty at such a young age. His future is limitless."
Wang Zhongsi smiled and said, "I hope that he won't throw a tantrum again. If that's the case, this commander can be at ease. Alright, the Turks are in a critical situation. This commander must leave."
"Farewell, Marshal Jie."

Ang Lee urged his horse forward and quickly caught up with the group. According to the needs of the march, the group was divided into three sections. Ang Lee led a portion of the men in front to open the path, ten carriage drivers drove the carriages in the middle, and Zhang Guangcheng led a portion of the men in charge of bringing up the rear. > > Okay _ EN8.
This time, Li Longji personally summoned Ang Lee, which made him very excited. However, from the fact that Wang Zhongsi arranged for him to escort the spoils of war, it could be seen that Li Longji was just happy for a moment and wanted to see him. He was not in a hurry.
If Li Longji summoned him very urgently, Wang Zhongsi would definitely let him gallop to the capital at the fastest speed. However, after thinking about it, Li Longji, as the emperor of the Tang dynasty, had a lot of things to deal with. He had to summon many people every day, and Ang Lee was just an insignificant person among them. It made no difference whether he was summoned a day earlier or a day later.
Thinking of this, Ang Lee was slightly disappointed. It was a kind of disappointment that he was not valued very much. However, he had only made some small contributions. The Tang Empire would not lose much if they lost him. So, why should Li Longji pay special attention to him? It was already a great favor for him to summon him and let him see the emperor's face. Did he expect Li Longji to visit him three times to invite him?
Since it was just an ordinary summon, there was no need to hurry. Ang Lee was very happy and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
As for the bandits and bandits along the way, Ang Lee's martial arts were excellent and he had 100 elites under his command. He did not care about them at all. Whoever dared to provoke them would be killed.
"Big Brother, there is a carriage ahead. It seems to be waiting for us."
"Let's go and have a look."
Ang Lee urged the horse's belly and galloped over.
Seeing the middle-aged Langjun standing in front of the carriage, Ang Lee was slightly stunned. "Hey, aren't you the doctor of Anbian City? If I remember correctly, your name is Wang Bing."
Wang Bing grinned and cupped his fists. "Li Shaolang, you have a good memory. I am Wang Bing. The coroner of Anbian City is my junior brother."
"Oh, then why are you here?"
Wang Bing did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Li Shaolang, I am going to the capital with two apprentices. I heard that Li Shaolang is also going to the capital, so I want to go with you. In this way, you don't have to worry about the bandits and bandits on the way."
When Li An heard this, he smiled indifferently. It turned out that this brat Wang Bing was treating him as a free bodyguard. Of course, this could be considered as him thinking highly of himself. Moreover, Wang Bing's medical skills were not bad. If someone fell sick along the way, he could treat them in time.
"Doctor, you have seen through the fish poison of the enemy spies and eliminated the fear of the plague. This is a great contribution. When we arrive at the capital, I will ask for a reward for you. Also, you don't have to worry about anything on the way with us protecting you.
Okay.
.”
Ang Lee was full of confidence. On the surface, he was praising Wang Bing, but in fact, he was showing off.
Wang Bing was very happy. "Thank you very much, Li Shaolang."
Ang Lee nodded slightly and arranged for Wang Bing's carriage to be at the front of the carriage.
After leaving Yuzhou, Ang Lee and his men passed through Daizhou and Xinzhou and entered Taiyuan Prefecture, which was the northern capital of the Tang dynasty. It was also the base of Li Yuan and his son's army. After passing through Fen Prefecture, Jin Prefecture, and Jiang Prefecture, they entered Puzhou.
To the east of Puzhou was Tong Pass. As long as they passed Tong Pass, they would arrive at the capital after traveling for another two or three hundred miles.
"Big Brother, after crossing the Lei Mountain in front, we will arrive at Fengling Pass after another twenty miles. We will spend the night at Fengling Pass and cross the river tomorrow morning."
Ang Lee looked at the mountains in front of him and grinned. "Let the team speed up. Go!"
After saying that, he spurred his horse forward. Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, Li Feishou, and more than ten people followed closely behind.
Along the way, Ang Lee frequently spurred his horse forward and led a few brothers to scout ahead. The furthest they went, they were more than twenty miles away from the team behind them. They didn't have to worry about being robbed at all.
Leading a group of brothers galloping through the undulating mountain ranges, gazing at the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Great Tang, and discussing topics of common interest, this was an extremely comfortable and pleasant experience.
"We are fine. The team behind us is more than ten miles behind us. Let's wait for them."
Li Feishou stopped his horse and looked at Ang Lee.
Ang Lee's expression was relaxed. "Don't worry, Zhang Guangcheng and Erniu are behind us. We will continue forward and wait for them at the relay station at Fengling Pass."
Li Feishou nodded. "Alright, then we will go to Fengling Pass and prepare."
"Go! Go! Go!"
After a short rest, they continued to rush toward Fengling Pass.

At the foot of Thunder Mountain, a group of bandits suddenly jumped out of the dense forest and ambushed a group that was moving forward.
This group had a total of thirty guards, and they looked quite strong. However, there were more than fifty bandits, and they used a surprise attack strategy. Because of this, the thirty guards were quickly killed. The coachman and attendants in the group also fled for their lives, but most of them were caught by the bandits and killed with a single slash of their sabers.
"Mother, there are bandits. We encountered bandits."
A young woman put down the curtain in her hand in panic.
"Bandits? Why did we encounter bandits again?"
The middle-aged woman in the carriage also became nervous.
"Kacha"
The curtain of the carriage was torn to shreds, and a mountain bandit with a curly beard poked his head in.
"Ah!"
The two of them curled up in fear.
"Haha, what a pretty young woman. Eh, the old one is not bad either. Brothers, we have a woman to play with tonight."
The bearded bandit smiled savagely and his face was filled with excitement.
Seeing this, the other bandits all ran over and jumped onto the carriage, pulling the two of them down.
"Yue 'er!"
"Mother!"
The two of them struggled but how could weak women break free of the strong bandits' restraints? The more they struggled, the more excited the bandits became.
"Brothers, take all the valuables and return to the stronghold."
The bearded bandit shouted and picked up Lil 'Miss, putting him on his shoulder.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Lil 'Miss hit the bearded bandit hard but it wasn't even enough to tickle him.
"Yue 'er!"
"Old woman, you're not bad. Let's go!"
Two bandits exerted their strength together and carried the middle-aged woman away. The rest of the bandits carried all kinds of valuables and were ready to return with a full load.
"Uh!"
"Old bastard, you dare to bite people."
The two bandits were furious and threw the middle-aged woman away. They pulled out the daggers at their waists and prepared to vent their anger.
"Mother!"
Lil 'Miss saw his mother thrown to the ground and unmoving. The two bandits were about to attack and he closed his eyes in despair.
She was just a weak woman and had no ability to resist. She could only accept reality and accept the fate of being humiliated.
"Tap tap tap."
More than a dozen horses whizzed over. It was Ang Lee's group.
"Bandits, don't try to take people's lives."
Ang Lee shouted and shot an arrow at the bandits that were about to attack. Li Fei Shouyu and the others also drew their bows and shot at the bandits.
"Woosh woosh woosh"
More than a dozen arrows flew towards the bandits and killed five or six people on the spot.
After a round of arrows, the two sides were very close. Ang Lee, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu pulled out the short spears on their backs and threw them at the remaining bandits, killing many people on the spot.
Lil 'Miss opened his eyes in despair and saw a familiar figure in front of him, charging over with a long spear raised high. His posture was so dashing, so enchanting.
The bearded bandit looked in disbelief at his comrades falling one by one, his eyes filled with terror. At this time, Ang Lee was already in front of him with his spear raised. He had nowhere to run and could only throw Lil 'Miss at Ang Lee in an attempt to stop Ang Lee.
The bearded bandit suddenly threw Lil 'Miss over. This was out of Ang Lee's expectations. In his panic, he could only throw away the long spear in his hand and reach out to catch it.
"Uh."
