"Stop, routine checks. "www.biquge.info The little guy was driving a carriage, and he was stopped when he saw that he was about to leave the city gate.

"Brother Zhang, it's me, I'm Xiao Li. "It seems that this little guy still knows the officer on duty.

"Xiao Li, it's not my brother who embarrasses you, I'll tell you, it's tonight..."

"Ah, is there such a thing? But do you think anyone would be stupid enough to hide in a dung bucket and sneak out of the palace? The little guy called Xiao Li was startled at first, and then had a bitter gourd face expression, who would have thought of hiding here, it stinks so badly when he thinks about it, but when he thinks about it, his face turns white, just now, isn't it really hiding inside.

The little guy was still thinking that the city guard known as Brother Zhang had already lifted the lid and was about to stir it with a stick.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, forget it. ”

"Xiao Li, could it be that there is really a person hidden here?" the city guard looked at him with a smile.

"No, no, absolutely nothing. Xiao Li hurriedly denied it.

Seeing that the stick was stirred several times, if there was someone below, it would have been discovered a long time ago.

"Brother Zhang, look, how could I lie to you. Xiao Li had a flattering and relieved expression.

The city guard was also depressed, but since the order had been issued from above, the subordinates had only to obey, and when the little guy exhaled softly, the city guard's eyes moved to the other bucket.

"Brother Zhang, do you think that's it?" the little guy's heart once again rose to his throat.

"Xiao Li, I said something wrong with your kid today?" The city guard stared at the little guy for a long time, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, but obviously nothing.

"What are you doing?" was just as the city keeper was about to lift the lid of the second bucket to take a closer look, when a voice suddenly sounded.

"Pavilion, Pavilion Elder. When he saw the corner raised in front of the carriage, Xu Chu was looking at it at this time.

"Well, why does it stink so much?" said Xu Chu and waved his hand, then covered his nose, as if he couldn't smell it anymore.

"Hurry up, walk quickly. The city guard waved his hand at the servant and told him to get out of here, forgetting that there was still a bucket that had not yet been checked.

No one noticed, but as the little man drove the carriage, and the outline became more and more illusory, the lid of one of the buckets was lifted from the inside, and then he saw a pair of eyes, which were so dark but shining, as if the sky was bright when the darkness ended.

"Search, search, search. There was no trace of the carriage here, and Xu Chu didn't mean to be embarrassed, so in the blink of an eye, another carriage sped by.

"Wow, wow, wow..." In less than half an hour, the group rode towards the city gate, "Phew."

"Who went out before we came?" asked the woman at the head of the horse, when the horses had stopped.

The city guard had a very respectful and flattering expression, "Xu Ge's old father and son, and Xiao Li, the little man who transports dung, are the only two of them who appear. ”

Seeing that the people on the horse had no sound, looking up, the fierce horses were shining in the night, and the armor of the people sitting on the top was shining with a little starlight, revealing a heroic spirit up and down, and the face hidden under the red cloth gave people a kind of indifference, the city guard couldn't help but shudder after just looking at it, and quickly shifted his gaze, they were the secret servants of the empress, only obeyed the orders and Long Yanran, no one had seen their true faces, and they rarely appeared, although there were only eight people, but no one dared to underestimate them, whether it was status or strength。

The woman at the head thought about it for a while, and then several people rode their horses and whips away, and the route was the direction of Xu Chu's father and son before.

Night, quietly, looking at the surrounding trees, the ground that was filled with snowflakes, a gust of wind blew, I couldn't help but shiver, looked left and right, and my heart was really getting more and more hairy, "This ghost place, why is it so mad today." Xiao Li complained, then raised the whip in his hand and whipped it down fiercely, only to hear the sound of a horse, and the carriage had already driven away.

When the carriage had gone far away, a pair of eyes, so dark and bright as they were, appeared from behind one of the trees, and the owner of these eyes sighed, and sat down.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the snow came to her ears from far and near, because the body and the ground have been intimate for a long time, even supporting herself is really laborious, Long Yanran barely sat in the carriage with the support of the comer.

Time is like the spring water of a mountain stream, ticking and ticking, often losing most of it inadvertently, just like a passer-by in life, walking again and again, but also ushering in a new journey.

Just after Xiao Li and Xu Chu left one after another, another sound of horses' hooves sounded, "Eldest sister, why do you say that person is not the empress?"

The woman in charge did not answer, but turned over and dismounted, leaning over and reaching out, "There are four ruts here, which means that two carriages have come, one is going outside the city, and the other is returning to the city." The woman pointed out of the city, then followed another rut in the direction of the gate.

"Could it be Xiao Li and Xu Ge Lao?" said another woman.

"Something is wrong, let's go. After finishing speaking, the group went to Xu Chu's residence.

Speaking of this, Xu Chu, as soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, he raised a small curtain in the carriage and looked back and forth, in fact, at this hour, how could anyone appear on the street, but when his eyes touched Long Yanran beside him, he had to blame him for being so cautious.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Xu Chu immediately summoned the maid to freshen up Long Yanran, and Xu Yaozong directly asked his subordinates to find a few of his best friends.

"Empress, what should we do next?" After all, Prince Xu is old, although he is an old man, but for what happened suddenly in front of him, he will inevitably forget his sense of proportion for a while.

"Empress, I have sent someone out, and tomorrow morning, we will lead the troops into the city. Although Xu Yaozong said so, he was still asking for Long Yanran's meaning.

Long Yanran was about to speak, when a loud voice burst out, "Xu Shilang is too wild..."

"What person?" Xu Yaozong's heart tightened, for fear that the other party would be a bad person.

But the voice continued, "Bringing troops into the city, is this to force the palace?"

"Your Excellency hides his head and tail, I'm afraid that it is some gutless rats on the rivers and lakes. "Xu Chu has been in a high position for many years, and he has more momentum than Xu Yaozong.

"Come in. If the two people present were puzzled, then Long Yanran maintained a kind of calmness throughout the whole process, a kind of indifference before spying on the enemy's confidant and giving the opponent a fatal blow.

"Squeak. The door opened, and a woman entered, dressed in a costume that could only be described as heroic.

Just when the eyes of the four people in the house met and there was a faint thunder of lightning, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and a group of soldiers blocked the door.

"See the empress, the last general is too late to save the car, and the sin deserves death. The woman who came knelt down at the right time.

"Senior sister, hurry up, I can't blame anyone for this, if you really want to blame, you can only blame those people for their wolf ambitions" Long Yanran said as she helped people up.

"This..."Prince Xu's father and son looked at each other speechlessly.

"By the way, what about them?" Long Yanran seemed to think of something.

"Eldest sister, Lin Yan is here, eh, see the empress. While a few people were talking, a woman hurriedly ran in, and when she saw Long Yanran, she didn't forget to salute.

"Get up. Long Yanran's voice couldn't hear a trace of joy, anger and sorrow, just savored it, and there was a sense of slaughter and depression in the breeze.

"This is the old mansion, is it difficult for you to break in?" The butler's eyes swept over the six women who were not far from him.

"I'm going to take the liberty of bothering, I'm really compelling, I hope—" Before the woman could finish speaking, a noisy voice came.

"Hey-ha, hey-ha. There were quite a few people listening to this footsteps, and in an instant, two rows of soldiers appeared in front of the old mansion.

"What about breaking through?" A clattering sound of horses' hooves penetrated into his ears, and a horse slowly walked from the center of the team, only to see Lin Yan sitting on top of it, with his toes high.

"Lin Shuai, this is..."It is precisely because the housekeeper knows that Lin Yan and Xu Chu are on good terms, so he has this question, since today the old man brought people back to the house after the banquet, and then the woman trespassed, and now it is Lin Yan who has come with the troops, and the housekeeper has faintly felt that something is wrong.

"Xu Gui, you can't stop Ben Shuai. Lin Yan was condescending, with a strategizing demeanor.

Yes, Xu Gui is the name of this housekeeper, Rao is what he is used to seeing celebrities and celebrities, ministers of civil and military affairs, but he dared to lead troops to besiege the old mansion, but it was the first time he encountered it, looking at the two soldiers beside him, and looking at the heroic women, he was also depressed in his heart, but you just had a sister who broke in, and now why don't you stand up and say a word.

Seeing the six women in front of the mansion, Lin Yan first flashed a trace of doubt in his heart, and then said that it was the advance army sent by the false empress to keep an eye on the old mansion first, and wait for him to come.

"Someone..."Lin Yan thought about it, and he wanted to force people to break in.

"Hey, Lin Shuai, what are you doing?" At this time, a handsome man on horseback came to Lin Yan's side.

"Oh, Zhang Shilang is still wandering outside at this time?" When he saw the person who came, Lin Yan was startled at first, and then relieved.

This Zhang Shilang is also a rising star, named Zhang Shilong, who has already been an official in the Ministry of Rites at a young age, and also has a certain right to speak in the court.

"When you're full, you have nothing to do, come out and walk around, huh? Pavilion Old Mansion, just right, go see Yaozong. Zhang Shilong dismounted as he spoke, and was about to go inside.

"I advise Zhang Shilang not to wade into this troubled water. Lin Yan spoke lukewarmly.

"Ah, this, I don't know what Lin Shuai means by this?" Zhang Shilong turned to look at Lin Yan, and the two looked at each other like this, one smiling meaningfully, and the other looking ignorant.

"Ah, Brother Zhang. I saw that the two slaves came with a delicate sedan chair one after the other, and after the sedan chair fell, a man came out of it, looking very young, but he was still holding a folding fan on this cold day, which was really strange.

"Brother Li. Seeing the person coming, Zhang Shilong stepped forward in a few steps and hurriedly gave a look.

"Oops. Li Xiuwen knocked on the folding fan, "The inspiration of the right talent suddenly appeared, it was really like a spring, and I wrote a special poem and came to let Yaozong evaluate it." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked forward, but halfway through he seemed to think of something, he stopped and saluted, "The younger generation has seen Lin Shuai, this... Since Lin Shuai is here, why don't you go with the two of us?"

Lin Yan frowned, the more polite and polite this guy is, the more he feels that there is a ghost, because this Li Xiuwen is no one else, it is the current Wenge University scholar, regardless of official position and power, the iron pen and silver hook in the hand of this goods can write to death many people, young, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but because of this, Li Xiuwen has offended many people, among them, there are naturally many powerful people, but Rao is still alive and well, how is this not impressive.

"Lin Shuai, Lin Shuai. Li Xiuwen waved the folding fan and called softly.

"Ahh Lin Yan dismounted as he spoke, his movements were neat and decisive, and Li Xiuwen and Zhang Shilong next to him looked at each other cautiously, and then resumed their smiles.

"Stay and stay. At this time, one voice after another sounded, it turned out to be people from the six departments of the three provinces, and a group of young talents first came to Lin Yan politely to say hello, and then gathered around to shush.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yan's brows furrowed even deeper, and the corners of his forehead and eyebrows could be twisted into a rope, but then he just smiled, revealing a look of ambition.

The group walked towards the mansion one after another, Lin Yan walked behind, and finally there were two columns of soldiers, the sky was about to dawn, and darkness had arrived.
