Tongguan was an important checkpoint in the Tang Empire, so there were many soldiers stationed there. When the Deputy General of Tongguan heard that there was a fight at the relay station, he quickly led hundreds of soldiers and rushed over. Okay.
.`
Ang Lee didn't want to cause trouble, so he signaled his brothers to put away their weapons.
"This is the Tang Empire's relay station. Why are you fighting here?" The Deputy General of Tongguan was very imposing and arrogant.
Seeing that the soldiers of Tongguan had arrived, Liu Luogu became more confident. He took out the horn talisman that could prove his identity and handed it to the Deputy General of Tongguan. He said softly, "General, I was ordered by Governor An to go to the capital to meet His Majesty. I arrived at the relay station today, but the commander of the relay station gave all the rooms to others and only left a woodshed for us. The soldiers were angry and made a scene. As a result, half of them were injured."
Liu Luogu's voice was very soft, but Ang Lee, who had been practicing martial arts since he was young, could still hear him. He originally wanted to let it go, but since Liu Luogu didn't know what was good for him, he didn't need to be too kind. Looking at the feathered beast flapping its wings, Ang Lee smiled and licked his lips.
The Deputy General of Tongguan looked at the horn talisman carefully and found that Liu Luogu was really An Lushan's subordinate. He couldn't help but be more respectful. The situation at the scene was indeed in Liu Luogu's favor. After all, Ang Lee's side had more people and the injured people were in the relay station. On the other hand, Liu Luogu's side suffered heavy casualties and half of the Lu soldiers were injured.
"Men! Arrest all of these people who attacked us!"
The Deputy General of Tongguan thought that he understood everything and immediately gave the order to arrest them.
Hearing this, Liu Luogu was very happy. He glanced sideways at Ang Lee and smiled proudly.
Ang Lee happened to see this scene, which made him hate Liu Luogu even more and made him determined to teach this villain a lesson.
"General, don't you think it's inappropriate to conclude that it's our fault based on Liu Luogu's one-sided statement?"
Ang Lee was neither servile nor overbearing. He didn't even bother to look at the deputy general of Tongguan.
The Deputy General of Tongguan was quite knowledgeable. From Ang Lee's attitude, he could tell that the young man's background was not small. However, how great could such a young man's background be? Could it be that his background was higher than An Lushan's?
"Then tell me what the situation is. _ Bar _
.”
Ang Lee naturally didn't need to hide anything and told him the truth.
"Words are no proof. What proof do you have?"
The deputy general of Tongguan refused to give up.
Ang Lee knew that the Deputy General of Tongguan was afraid of offending An Lushan, so he protected Liu Luogu in every way. How could he not have a backer? He did not intend to be high-profile, but since the other party was pressing on, he had to be high-profile for once.
When they left An Bian City, Wang Zhongsi personally handed the horn talisman to Ang Lee, which was enough to prove that Ang Lee was Wang Zhongsi's man.
"Can this be used as proof?"
Ang Lee gently handed the horn talisman to the Deputy General of Tongguan.
With just a glance, the Deputy General of Tongguan's face turned red. On one side was An Lushan, and on the other was Wang Zhongsi. These two were famous officials. As a small Deputy General of Tongguan, he could not afford to offend them. He really wanted to slap himself a few times. Why did he have to be so proactive? If he had come a moment later, perhaps the two sides would have separated.
"General, it was this group of people who charged into the relay station first and even injured my wife."
A young man pointed at Liu Luogu and took out the bronze token at his waist.
Seeing this, the Deputy General of Tongguan's face immediately turned red. He recognized the token at a glance and understood the person it represented. Liu Luogu was just a dog by An Lushan's side, but he actually injured his wife. How could this be? An Lushan was still far away in Yingzhou, so he couldn't do anything to him. However, the person this token represented was in the capital, which was only a few hundred li away.
After an intense mental struggle, the Deputy General of Tongguan made up his mind. He pointed at Liu Luogu and said loudly, "Take all these troublemakers away. Take them away."
The sudden 180-degree turn of events caught Liu Luogu off guard. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was taken away by a group of soldiers. Dozens of attendants and six carriages were also taken away.
"The General's family is here."
The Deputy General of Tongguan whispered in the young man's ear. Then, he saluted Ang Lee and turned to leave.
Of course, he was just putting on an act by catching Liu Luogu. It was impossible for him to really punish him. After walking a few li away, he released all of them.
The moment the young man took out the token, Ang Lee glanced at it. There was a "Gao" on it. What did this "Gao" represent? Was it an official name or a surname?
There didn't seem to be any high-ranking officials in the Tang dynasty who were named after "Gao". Then, it must be a surname. Just now, the Deputy General of Tongguan said "General". Could this person be a General?
There weren't many Generals with the surname Gao. Gao Xianzhi was one of them. Gao Xianzhi should be in the Western Region at this time. It was impossible for him to stay in the capital. Then, who could it be?
Ang Lee clenched his right fist and placed it on his nose. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked into the relay station.
Inside the relay station, the doctor, Wang Bing, was very busy. He first treated Yue 'er and her daughter's injuries. At this moment, he was busy treating Erniu's injuries.
Seeing Erniu grimacing in pain, Ang Lee couldn't help but laugh. During the fight just now, Erniu was very tough. Now, he knew pain.
"Doctor, thank you for your hard work."
Ang Lee looked at Wang Bing and said politely.
Wang Bing smiled bitterly. "I originally thought that I could reach the capital smoothly with Li Shaolang's group. I didn't expect that we would encounter bandits in Thunder Mountain first. Now, we have to fight at the relay station. The few precious medicinal herbs that we brought before leaving have almost all been used up. If anyone else is injured, I'm afraid …"
"The few medicinal herbs that Master brought are all used to treat internal and external injuries. Their effects are surprisingly good, but they are also very expensive."
One of the primary apprentices chimed in.
Ang Lee could see that Wang Bing was a little reluctant. After all, he was only a small doctor and didn't have a lot of money. Moreover, he had been protected by Ang Lee's group along the way. He was too embarrassed to ask for money, so he could only swallow his grievances.
"It's the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the injured. Doctor, this trip was not in vain."
Ang Lee smiled faintly. In fact, what he wanted to say was, "I have escorted you all the way. Shouldn't I pay some protection fees?"
Although he had just received a hundred gold as compensation for medical expenses from Liu Luogu, after entering the capital, there were many places where he needed to spend money. He should save as much as he could.
Hearing this, Wang Bing quickly nodded and said yes. He could only bear the bitterness of using precious medicinal herbs.
Ang Lee comforted his injured brothers. Then, he led Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, and Li Feishou to the backyard for a stroll.
"Big Brother, that Liu Luogu is not a good person. We should have beaten him up just now."
Ang Lee smiled and looked at the three of them. "Are you guys hungry?"
"Big Brother, didn't we just eat?"
"You're fine. What are you thinking?"
The three of them were confused.
Ang Lee touched his chin and said softly, "Just now, outside the relay station, did you notice the feathered beast in the big iron cage?"
"Feathered beast, you're fine. You want to …"
Li Feishou looked at Ang Lee in surprise. Kun Xiong and Fei Yu immediately understood Ang Lee's intention.
Ang Lee nodded. "An Lushan must be planning to offer this feathered beast to His Majesty. If we kill and eat it, Liu Luogu will not be able to explain himself. What will happen to An Lushan?"
When he thought of Liu Luogu sweating nervously and An Lushan being angry, Ang Lee felt extremely satisfied.
Li Kun Xiong and Li Feiyu looked at each other and said loudly, "Big Brother, leave this to us."
Li Feishou Yu also nodded. "I'll cover you in the dark."
Seeing that the three of them agreed readily, Ang Lee was overjoyed and asked them to prepare immediately.
For Ang Lee, who knew the direction of history, An Lushan's existence was a huge hidden danger to the Tang Empire. However, at this moment, An Lushan was already the Commander in Chief of Yingzhou with great power, while Ang Lee was just a small figure. He had no ability to get rid of An Lushan, but it was not a problem to use his weak ability to take a bite out of him from time to time.
Whether it was for his family revenge or for the Tang Empire, Ang Lee had enough reasons to go against An Lushan.
"Little Miss Yue 'er, why did you come to the backyard? Is Madam better?"
Seeing Yue 'er appear beside him, Ang Lee asked.
Yue 'er smiled. "Mother has woken up. She asked me to come over and thank you." After that, she lowered her head, clasped the fingers of her right hand with her left hand, and glanced sideways at Ang Lee from time to time, looking like a little girl.
Ang Lee could tell at a glance that Yue 'er was shy. A shy girl was always the most lovely and comforting.
"Little Miss Yue 'er, you look beautiful when you smile."
Ang Lee took a step closer and coaxed her softly.
Hearing this, Yue 'er's eyes showed joy. She said with a smile, "Really? But Mother said that I don't look good when I smile." After that, she lowered her head again and clasped her fingers. Unconsciously, her earlobes blushed.
Ang Lee enjoyed Yue 'er's unique beauty. He took a step forward, looked into Yue' er's eyes, and said seriously, "But I think Little Miss Yue 'er is the most beautiful when she smiles."
Ang Lee was too close. Yue 'er felt as if a deer was bumping into her chest, which made her a little overwhelmed.
"Li Shaolang, I, I'm going back."
Yue 'er took a step back, turned around, and trotted away.
Seeing Yue 'er run away shyly, Ang Lee revealed a smile on his face. Life was hard and there was a lot of pressure. It was very comfortable to tease a little loli occasionally.

Two miles southwest of Tongguan Relay Station, Liu Luogu and his subordinates lived in a guest house. As more than a dozen soldiers of the Pinglu Army had suffered varying degrees of injuries, Liu Luogu invited many doctors from Tongguan.
Several doctors were busy treating the injuries of the soldiers of the Pinglu Army. Liu Luogu gloomily paced around the room. He had An Lushan as his backer. He was used to being domineering. However, he didn't expect to meet someone with an even bigger backer. This made him feel very aggrieved.
