Chapter 285:

Sun Lin wants to atone for his sins, and Lu Daoren seems to be a good immortal who is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, so the two hit it off, and it is not the task given to Lu Daoren by His Majesty the Emperor. It's just that Chang'an City is surrounded by water, and wanting to sneak into the city to see the prince is like ascending to the sky.

Li Chengxiu listened to them open up various possibilities, and denied them again and again, and couldn't help but yawn.

This was a very inappropriate voice, Sun Lin and Lu Daoren looked at Li Chengxiu in unison, and their expressions were like the feeling of a butcher picking up a knife.

"What are you watching me do?" Li Chengxiu was furious by the two of them.

Lu Daoren pulled his cheeks and smiled like a Sanqing Dao Ancestor, pointed at Li Chengxiu and Sun Lin and asked, "You said you saved him just now?"

Li Chengxiu and Sun Lin replied: "Yes!"

"Then you try and see if you can take this. Hearing this, Lu Daoren hurriedly took out an object from his arms and stuffed it into Li Chengxiu's hand, it was a black lacquered "wooden stick", such a "wooden stick" Sun Lin also had one on hand, and he was very surprised that Li Chengxiu could hold it. Seeing that Li Chengxiu held the "wooden stick" firmly in his hand, Lu Daoren was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Providence, it's simply providence." ”

Lu Daoren said that neither he nor Sun Lin could enter the city, but Li Chengxiu, as a "ghost", could, and asked Li Chengxiu to send the letter into the city to the prince named Wudan.

This is indeed a good way, and Li Chengxiu seems to have no reason to refuse.

So, Li Chengxiu went to Luoyang City with two "black sticks", because he brought Sun Lin, a living person, so it took a lot of twists and turns, and Li Chengxiu was much easier on the way back this time. Not long after leaving Sun Lin and Lu Daoren, Li Chengxiu floated into the sky. Floating in the sky, looking down at the earth, I saw that the ground was very vast, the mountains were majestic, and the beautiful Luohe was a quiet woman, but at this time, next to this beautiful and quiet woman, there were shouts and rumblings everywhere...... From this point of view, the quietness of the beautiful Luohe is not as good as if it really likes to be quiet, but because it was frightened by the shouting and rumbling, and it stiffened its body, and it didn't dare to make the slightest movement.

Soon, Li Chengxiu came to the place where she settled in the afternoon, still under the castle, and there was still fighting around. Blood splattered in front of Li Chengxiu's eyes, and one person fell down with screams, they shed every drop of blood on their bodies, and then soaked in her delicate and luxurious boots.

The blood is so red, although the sun has already set, although the moon in the sky is lazy today, but Li Chengxiu is still stabbed by the bloody light.

This time Li Chengxiu didn't try to save anyone again, she plunged into the thick city wall, as if she had been stuck in a bottomless black hole, she only felt that she kept moving forward, kept going, and it didn't end for a long time.

I don't know how long it took to drill, Li Chengxiu felt a little tired, and suddenly felt that her eyes lit up, and the bright sunlight pierced her eyes.

After finally getting used to the strong light of the sun, Li Chengxiu opened her eyes gently, and she found herself in a quiet and beautiful garden. There seemed to be someone whispering behind the tree wall, Li Chengxiu carefully bypassed the tree wall, only to see two men walking side by side, one old and one young are both beautiful and handsome, so good-looking, this makes Li Chengxiu, who is originally Yan Kong, feast his eyes.

"Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, with this batch of gold and silver treasures, our army will not have to worry about food and salary. The young man said to the old man, and the old man, who was called "Lord Soldier", waved his hand and said: "The old man should not thank His Royal Highness, this wealth was originally entrusted by the old man by the first emperor to be transferred to the virtuous king of future generations." The old man handed them over, which was supposed to be the old man's business. It's just that Your Highness, you don't think that everything will be fine with money, and now the situation Your Highness is facing cannot be completely solved by money. ”

A seat called "Your Highness" nodded when he heard it: "My father-in-law is very true, now that my Luoyang is surrounded on all sides, and the emperor and queen are trapped in the northern capital, the situation is indeed very grim." ”

Both of them frowned, as if they were both troubled by the situation they had faced, and they couldn't think of a solution for a while, so they fell silent.

After a long period of silence, the old man spoke first: "The old man is foolish, and now the top priority is to be on the emperor's side." The city of Luoyang is high and deep, and the rebels cannot attack it for a while. However, the northern capital is different, although it is called one of the capitals of my Great Zhou, it is not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, lest it be too late for the rebels to attack the city......"

At this point, the old man shut his mouth and said no more.

Seeing this, the young "Your Highness" sighed and said: "My father-in-law's worries are also my worries, to say a big disrespectful word, if the thief harms my father and mother, I will fight with him with a knife, even if I am broken bones, I will avenge the killing of my father and the great revenge of killing my mother." I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they coerce my parents, what should I do when the time comes?" sighed, and said: "If you are listened to by someone with a heart, you will definitely feel that Dan is ruthless and scolds Dan for not being a son of man." In fact, Dan is also helpless!"

"It's embarrassing for Your Highness. The old man said sympathetically, thought about it and said, "However, if you can, it is better to have both 'loyalty and filial piety'." Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is an immortal hero, a wise and martial monarch, but his great achievements are still attacked by people who attack him with improper things in his position. As he spoke, he patted the arm of "His Highness" and said earnestly: "Your Highness's mood is understandable to the old man, but there are not many people like the old man." His Royal Highness is a person who wants to do great things, and in the general sense, he must stand firm, otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future. ”

"Thank you for your father-in-law's teachings. "Your Highness" said gratefully, thought about it and asked the old man: "Then according to my father-in-law's words, what should I do?"

The old man pondered for a moment, and resolutely said: "Out of the city, Your Highness must go out of the city to meet the emperor." ”

"But Luoyang City is surrounded ......like an iron bucket," His Royal Highness said, "Besides, what can I do when I go out of the city now?" I am just a bald-headed prince, and the civil and military forces available under my hands are all on the city wall at this time!" ”

The old man also sighed, turned his head to look at the north, and a worried look instantly appeared on his face: "I don't know how my Xiuxiu is now." ”

"Cheng Xiu...... I'm also worried about Cheng Xiu...... I knew that it would be like this, so I wouldn't let Cheng Xiu go to the northern capital with the emperor. His Highness said sadly.

"Hmph!" the old man snorted lightly, stepped onto the stone bridge in front of him, and ignored the young "Your Highness" again.

The two of them got on the stone bridge one after the other, and suddenly a person ran from a distance, running to this side in a panic and shouting: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince, something is wrong!"

"What are you doing in a hurry?" said the young "Your Highness" coldly, "the sky has not yet fallen!"

Li Chengxiu couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this person was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Lu Daoren was looking for.

"The sky is about to fall!" "Outside, the thieves outside don't know where to get a batch of things that can make a noise, and a sound can kill more than a dozen people, Lord Liu, they can't stand it, and the rebels will attack the city in three moments!"

"What?" the prince and the old man were shocked when they heard this: "What kind of loud thing?

The man said: "It's just that they throw out something, and that thing can split the mountain and rock with a loud sound, and the stone and soil will burst out in chaos!"

"What a mess!" the prince listened impatiently, and said to the old man, "Go, my father-in-law wants to go to the city wall to have a look, and my father-in-law is willing to go with him?"

"The old man just wanted to see it. The old man said.

"Either way, or not, that thing is very dangerous, and Your Highness can't do it. Someone came to block the way of the good person and stopped: "Lord Li, persuade Your Highness, Your Highness is now in danger of the safety of tens of millions of people, and you can't afford to lose it!"

The old man was quite impressed, nodded and said, "It's better for the prince to wait in the palace, and I will go to the city to have a look on behalf of His Royal Highness." ”

"This ......" The prince nodded a little badly, but the person who reported the news was obedient and hurriedly said: "In this way, there will be Lord Lao Li, and the lower officials are willing to accompany Master Li to go with him." ”

"It's fine. Master Li nodded, and the two of them hurriedly walked out.

Master Li and the person who reported the news disappeared from Li Chengxiu's sight in a blink of an eye, she looked at the prince, thought about it and stood up.

"Who?" the prince suddenly shouted, as if sensing Li Chengxiu's presence.

Li Chengxiu was a little surprised, but also a little embarrassed, surprised that there was another person who could see her, heard her, and was embarrassed that if this prince broke the casserole and asked in the end, how would she explain to him?

Just when Li Chengxiu was in a dilemma, a person suddenly jumped out of the water, and the person held a narrow knife more than six feet long, and stabbed the prince when he came out of the water. Seeing this, the prince's face changed, and he hurriedly dodged to let the first stab come to him, and one twisted his body to get out of the way. It's just that the prince just let go of the first knife, and suddenly a second person emerges from the water, right where he is standing. The prince hurriedly flashed again, but as soon as he stood still, a person jumped out of the water, still stabbing at him, and told him to turn around the ghost gate. Repeatedly, only to hear a loud sound of water, more than a dozen white-clothed and masked warriors jumped out of the water, surrounding the prince is a wild slash and killing, the prince wandered between their blades, in a blink of an eye in the ghost gate turned seventeen or eighteen times, so that Li Chengxiu looked anxious.

Just when Li Chengxiu thought that the prince was going to die today, Li Chengxiu suddenly saw that the dozen or so white-clothed and masked assassins were all motionless.

In a beautiful way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince withdrew from under the blades of a dozen knives, then collected the dozen knives, and then reached out and groped for the bodies and mouths of the dozen or so people. Li Chengxiu felt very curious, and took a closer look, only to see that the prince had found a lot of things from the assassins. Some were found from the straps around the waist, some were found from the cuffs and collars, and some were pulled out of the mouths of those men. Because it wasn't close, Li Chengxiu couldn't really see it, so he didn't know what the prince had picked out.

"Someone!" the prince searched everything and stripped them of their clothes and trousers......

What is he going to do? Li Chengxiu was really shocked by the prince's actions, and said in his heart, doesn't this prince have any special hobbies that cannot be explained? Tut-tut, it's really a pity that the face of the country and the city.

Just as Li Chengxiu was struggling with whether to turn around or continue watching, Li Chengxiu was surprised to see that the prince tied up the assassin with the assassin's clothes that had been stripped off, his hands tied to his clothes, and his pants to his feet...... It's pretty clear!

When the prince had tied up all the assassins and strung them together, a group of soldiers rushed over from across the lake, all with serious expressions and nervous breathing.

Seeing the scene on the island, everyone was sweating profusely...... But according to Li Chengxiu's estimate, it is more likely that there should be 10,000 horses!

"The last general is waiting for the death penalty of being late, please punish His Royal Highness the Prince!" More than 100 people pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and knelt down in unison.

The prince did not punish these people for their capital crimes, let alone say anything to them, but waved his hand in disgust and let them pull the assassins away. When the soldiers and generals reached the middle of the bridge, he said leisurely: "I have collected all the poison and other things for you, if you can't ask anything more...... the rest of the words need not be said.

The leading general bowed his head in shame, and did not say a word to promise to swear, but made Li Chengxiu inexplicably feel that they would definitely be able to ask something useful.

"Come out!" After everyone left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said softly, "Aren't you tired after standing behind there for a long time?"

Who is he talking about?

Li Chengxiu was puzzled, stretched out his head to look forward, and saw that the prince's gaze was just looking at him.

He can actually see himself!

Realizing this, Li Chengxiu's heart palpitated, his head was a little dizzy, his heartbeat was a little fast, some joy, some shyness, and some fear...... It's complicated, and it's an emotion that Lee Sung-so has never experienced.

Dizzy, Li Chengxiu walked out from behind the lake stone, his eyes met the prince's gaze, his feet seemed to be stained with glutinous pulp, and he moved forward one by one, and his steps did not dare to raise half a point gently.

However, when Li Chengxiu walked up to him, he showed a puzzled expression on his face, and muttered, "Isn't it that I feel wrong?"

At this moment, Li Chengxiu felt uncomfortable inexplicably, not because of the fact that he was dead, nor because of his loneliness as a ghost, but because of disappointment. Yes, Li Chengxiu was disappointed, she thought he could see herself, but he couldn't.

With a click, the two "wooden sticks" in his hands fell to the ground, successfully calling the prince back.

"Ebony Secret Letter?" the prince shouted in surprise when he saw the two wooden sticks on the ground, he quickly picked up the two wooden sticks, and held them in his hand very nervously: "How did you appear here?

Looking at the person who had half of the left wall embedded in her legs, Li Chengxiu was so sad that she wanted to cry, she wanted to tell him that she brought this thing, but she knew it was in vain.

The prince hurriedly dismantled the two wooden sticks, and after reading the contents, he sighed: "My father-in-law expected it." Then he looked at the contents of the first stick, and after a glance, his face turned pale.

"Xue Muxuan, it's the other way around. The prince slumped to the ground, staring straight ahead with his eyes, incredulous and incredulous: "How could Mu Xuan rebel? He, how could he betray me? Didn't he say that he wanted to hand over his back to each other?"

Looking at the prince who seemed to be a demonic disease, Li Chengxiu felt sour in his heart and was very sympathetic: "Silly boy, you have been deceived!"

I really want to hug him and comfort him, but it's just providence......

With a sigh, Li Chengxiu gently sat down beside the prince, put his hand on his lap, and patted it gently. - The conscience of heaven and earth, she really didn't eat the tofu of the beautiful prince, she was really comforting him!

But it's a pity that I don't feel it in my hands!

……

"Someone, someone!" the prince finally came to his senses and shouted loudly.

"Prince!" Because of the assassination incident just now, the guards were so thoughtful that they didn't evacuate all the people, and Wu Dan rushed over when they heard the exclamation.

"Has Master Li returned?" the prince asked.

One of the leaders replied, "Not yet." ”

"Quick, send someone to find it!" said the prince anxiously.

"Yes!" The leading general immediately sent someone to find that old man Li.

The prince was so anxious that he spun around in place, chanting words while turning, and looking forward to Master Li while reading. However, he waited for Mr. Li on the left and did not come, and he still did not come when he waited for Mr. Li on the right. The prince waited anxiously and said, "Forget it, go and find him by yourself!"

Although no one invited, Li Chengxiu still followed in vain.

The prince was in a hurry, his feet were very fast, his light skills were very good, and the soldiers could not keep up with his pace at all, but fortunately, after a vertical arch they found military horses. The crown prince also got on his horse and ran north, because he had just learned that the old man Li had gone to the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Chengxiu shamelessly squeezed behind the prince and rode the same horse with him. - Although half of the ass and the horse's back are fused together.

A large group of people and horses, so fast to whip up, only to see a palace wall flashing in front of the eyes, after shocking countless palace people to exclaim, finally came to the Xuanwu Gate.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, they turned their horses' heads and ran south, and then turned west.

As soon as I turned west and ran to a street corner, a group of people hurriedly beat horses on the opposite side, and the one who ran in front was none other than the old man Li.

"Prince!" Seeing the prince coming, Master Li hurriedly pulled the reins and stationed his horse: "Why are you here?"

The prince looked left and right, and said calmly: "Lonely, I want to go up to the city wall and see it with my own eyes." ”

Master Li said nervously: "Your Highness doesn't need to go, Your Highness's things to see have already been brought for you." ”

"Oh?" the prince was surprised, and hurriedly said, "Quickly take it out and let Lone see." ”

But Master Li said, "This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the imperial city and talk about it." ”

Hearing this, Prince Yan nodded: "It's okay." ”

So the crowd beat their horses and galloped back.

There was another gallop, and they returned to the garden.

"Go down, all of you. When he arrived on the island again, the prince waved everyone away, leaving only a few generals, and then said to Mr. Li with a nervous expression: "Father-in-law, something is wrong!"

"What's the big deal?" Seeing the prince's expression, Master Li and the others also became nervous.

The prince looked at everyone and said with a solemn expression: "Xue Muxuan, it's also the opposite." ”

"What?" everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and their faces changed drastically.

"Your Highness, is the news accurate?" asked Elder Li eagerly.

"That's right. The prince sighed, took out the two wooden sticks from his arms and handed them to Elder Li: "This is what my father-in-law got after he left." ”

"Ebony secret letter!" When everyone saw the wooden stick, their faces changed again, and they hurriedly asked Master Li to open the secret letter and look at it. After everyone saw it, their faces changed again, and their expressions became even worse.

"Is that it?" said Elder Li, as he spoke, shouting at a sergeant standing by the bridge, "Bring the things." ”

The sergeant had a burden in his hand, and he heard the words of Master Li and hurriedly carried it over. Mr. Li took the burden and carefully untied it, only to see that there were several clay pots inside.

"What is this?" asked the prince suspiciously.

Elder Li said: "If the old man's guess is correct, this thing is the 'Thunderbolt Fire Bomb' mentioned in the Ebony Secret Letter!"

"What?" The prince was startled, and was busy getting closer to take a closer look, but Master Li couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, and grabbed him: "Your Highness, this thing is dangerous, don't get too close." ”

"Father-in-law, you're too nervous, it's just a few clay pots. The prince said calmly, but he didn't get nervous any longer.

Looking at the object carefully, I saw that it was a black clay pot, not a famous product or an antiquity, but a very ordinary clay pot, ordinary small at the top and big at the bottom, and ordinary with a lid...... It's just that what is unusual is that a hole has been pierced in the middle of the lid, and a thread the thickness of a child's thumb falls out of it.

"Your Highness, don't look down on its ordinary appearance, this thing is really an earth-shattering thing. Old Master Li pulled the prince back two steps, pointed to the clay pots, and said, "It's such a big thing, lit that thread, threw it into the crowd, and after a bang, more than a dozen people were knocked down." ”

"It's so powerful?" said the prince in amazement.

"Not really. Master Li said: "This thing is really amazing, so the old man asked Liu Xiaozi to fetch a few." "There are just a few, but it took nearly three hundred people to get it." ”

Hearing that such a few things were actually exchanged for three hundred lives, the prince was very sad and sighed: "It's all lonely's fault." ”

"Why is Your Highness like this!" Everyone understood what the prince was blaming himself, and persuaded one after another: "Then Xue Muxuan's treachery, how can it be His Highness's fault?"

"It's all because I don't know anyone!" said the prince reproachfully.

"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself too much. Mr. Li persuaded: "If you want to talk about it, it is also Xiuxiu's fault, and the old man's fault is even greater." In this way, how could Sun Zhong's things fall into the hands of the thieves?"

Prince: "Father-in-law......"

Mr. Li patted the prince's hand: "No one is perfect, who can be infallible?
