It's raining, and the light rain has been pouring down since the end of the day.

Zuo Chen didn't know if Zhang Youcai had prepared a hat for them. Thinking of so many people in the wilderness, I felt very guilty and uncomfortable, and got up and pushed open the door to look out. The darkness of the night was not real, and the rain dripping from the eaves was reflected by the dim candlelight in the house, reflecting the faint light. Blink and blink, it's like countless eyes hiding in the shadows peeping.

I don't like this feeling of being peeped at, and when I walked to Zuo Chen under the eaves of the porch, I just stood there alone thinking about my thoughts until the east turned white.

"What the hell!" Wu Jiang looked up at the cloudy sky, muttering that the scattered raindrops were still falling downward. It is rare to have such a refreshing feeling in the increasingly heated weather, but Wu Jiang, who has a task in his body, feels very bored, even if it is not rainy, it is not very comfortable to run a horse for a long time.

Zuo Chen followed Wu Jiang and also looked up at the sky, "Chenshi, set off on time." ”

Still superstitious about the time to travel!? Wu Jiang thought secretly in his heart. He didn't understand Zuo Chen's purpose, in fact, Zuo Chen deliberately set aside time for the other party to give them relaxed conditions for each other's ventilation, so that the opponent could fully prepare and fully mobilize manpower. Now that you're ready for battle, why don't you let your opponent put in as much combat power as possible?

swaggered out of the house and out of the city, all in order to let the eyeliner tell them their loyal master, I, Liu Zuochen, have gone out of the city to play again, and I have the ability to kill me! For this reason, when Zuo Chen was about to leave the city gate, he whipped a soldier of the garrison division fiercely, and said arrogantly: "This son is also something that you can offend as a minion?" Staring at Ben Gongzi again, gouging out your dog's eyes! ”

Wu Jiang pulled out his long knife, pointed at the soldiers who came up from the surrounding generals, and scolded: "This is the son of General Liu, who dares to use force!" ”

As a result, both the soldiers on duty and the people who entered and exited the capital knew that General Liu's arrogant and domineering son had gone out of the city accompanied by a dog slave who worked for the tiger.

"Who? Liu Zuochen is out of the city? Gao Yuan heard the report of his henchman, and his heart began to get excited again.

"Dogs can't change their eating", this is indeed true. I was deflated in the Li Mansion yesterday morning, thinking about the plateau where I would continue to ascend to the top of my dream, and I was about to have bad intentions, and asked nervously: "Did you send someone to follow?" ”

"It's already far away, and it's going to leave us with special notes along the way." The henchman was secretly happy, and made another contribution in front of the deputy director.

Looking at the plateau that came to invite merit again, Li Ziqin felt that he was really disgusting! I was scolded out of the house yesterday, and today I reported the news with a shy face wagging my tail. In any case, the news is still very valuable, and he no longer asserts himself, indicating that Gao Yuan still has a little longer memory.

The dog slave just needs to be trained, thinking like this, he said in a gentle voice: "This time it's a good job!" Go back and prepare the manpower, and I'll let you know if you need it or not. ”

……

Zuo Chen and Wu Jiang didn't know what was happening in the capital, but the fast horse hanging far behind them still fell into the eyes of the two.

"Childe, the fish has taken the bait!" Wu Jiang grinned and smiled, with a faint expectation in his heart, it was better to have more people behind the fast horse that was tracking.

"Small fish and small shrimp, not enough to worry about! What we need is a big fish bite! Zuo Chen had some doubts in his heart, he was so well prepared, just catching a few cubs, which was more than worth the loss.

The master and servant duo stopped and stopped, pretending to be out of the mountains and rivers, but also to delay time and give the opponent more time to prepare.

Li Ziqin was indeed preparing nervously and busily, and before calling his henchmen to summon his son Li Qiang, he was thinking carefully about it, this attack on Zuo Chen must be killed with one blow, so as not to have too many dreams at night! If it is not successful, it may bring a lot of shock and negative effects, the biggest possibility is that Long Wei is angry, for the sake of Li Shuang under Jiuquan, even if he is punished, he will not hesitate!

"Father, what's so urgent?" Li Qiang entered the yamen of the Criminal Department and went straight to the back hall.

At the end of the hour, Liu Zuochen left Kyoto City. With only one entourage, it should be going to the mountains and rivers. Li Ziqin raised his head slightly and looked at Li Qiang.

Even when the youngest son was alive, Li Ziqin was also blue-eyed for the second son Li Qiang in front of him, he was the only one who did not rely on the family power to rise to a high position, and he worked very hard to study and practice martial arts in his childhood, and finally became famous in the school field, relying on extraordinary force to win the emperor's appreciation. It was only a few years from the command of the Praetorian Guard to the presidential leader of the Praetorian Army, and Li Ziqin was most pleased with Li Qiang's achievements.

If it weren't for the old hatred, Li Ziqin really didn't want to pull Li Qiang into this troubled water, once something went wrong, it would ruin his brilliant future. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and is only ordered by the Son of Heaven's forbidden army, no matter when and where it is the particularity of standing out from the crowd, if it is not for the special status of Li Qiang's forbidden army president, how can Li Ziqin have the ability to mobilize a soldier?

"Are you sure?" Li Qiang tightened his brows, accustomed to thinking carefully before doing things, and taking anything lightly and having uncontrollable consequences, there had never been a case in him.

"The garrison secretary Gao Yuan reported that Liu Zuochen was out of the capital. Before him, the eyeliner planted in the General's Mansion reported to Zuo Chen and his entourage that they had already left the mansion, and as a father, they had already sent someone to fetch the news again, and they would know after a while whether the rest of the people were out of the mansion. Li Ziqin said softly and slowly.

"Father, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

"Tell me, what's the flaw?" Li Ziqin also tightened his brows, the stakes were very high, and he had to be cautious.

"You think, that Liu family child beat the court officials, was attacked and killed and returned safely, and yesterday's shop opening caused a sensation in Kyoto. Roughly speaking, they all rely on the prestige of Prince Qing. If you think about it, it is difficult to explain that you are still walking in the market without changing your face when you are attacked and killed. Anyone who has experienced a new killing will have a shadow in their heart, and it will take a long time to recover. Son, guess that Zuochen is definitely not a good person. ”

Li Zi nodded in agreement with his son's analysis, and fell into deep thought. Li Qiang didn't bother him, he waited quietly, if Zuo Chen really arranged him, he was not afraid, but he was worried that Zuo Chen would have the prince or others to help, and the matter of setting traps and digging traps was commonplace in Kyoto officialdom, and it was even more common to be planted by the other party's forces if he was not careful. What I am most worried about is what kind of punishment the emperor will receive once the matter is revealed.

"Report to Lord Shangshu, the eyeliner outside Liu's mansion confirms that only the master and servant are out of the mansion." Henchmen spy report.

Li Ziqin, who was interrupted from his thoughts, was a little annoyed, raised his head and waved his hand to the spy with displeasure on his face. Panting, the spy cursed in his heart, didn't dare to stop any longer, and hurriedly exited the house.

"Your father's information is more detailed than yours. Yesterday, Zhao Pengfei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stayed in the palace of Prince Qing, and he left the palace with a red face after eating, and he did not know the content of the conversation, and one thing is certain, the garrison department did not find that there was a troop out of the city. Li Ziqin said, looking at Li Qiang, he was actually not too sure of his judgment.

Li Qiang naturally understood his father's thoughts, in addition to the forces he controlled, which was the strongest combat power, that is, the Kyoto Garrison Division could still be counted as combat power. According to my father's habit of never acting hastily in the past, if he did not get his own support, he would give up the opportunity to attack and kill. It's really a big deal, and I can't help but think about it carefully, once the forbidden army has casualties outside Kyoto, it is difficult to explain, let alone attack and kill the son of a court official, and he has the status of a knighthood.

"Father, what do you say......, for example, if the attack is unsuccessful, what measures will the emperor take?" Li Qiang's eyebrows tightened a little tighter, although he did not directly agree to his father's participation in the hunting plan, in fact, he had already agreed to the side, just to judge that the emperor's thoughts would not have serious consequences for the entire family. This is not only about the father's official position, but also about the imperial concubine sister in the palace.

"Judging from my father's many years of experience in the court, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to compare the battle between the ministers with 'watching the tiger fighting from a mountain'. Li Shuang's death, the emperor will not be unaware of it, why is it all for his own interests, is it very beneficial to get the loyalty of the general guarding the border pass? Let's just say that the big killer weapon, the repeater, does not add a little bit of combat power to the army. The more we stumble on Liu Shangwu, the closer Liu Shangwu will be to the emperor and be loyal to the emperor, which is the emperor's way of holiness. ”

"Does that mean that the emperor is also muddying the waters afterwards?" Li Qiang asked.

Li Ziqin looked at Li Qiang and said with a smile: "You are still by the emperor's side for too short a time, to put it simply, the emperor will not let any minister develop to the point that one person is above ten thousand people, and Prince Qing is a living example." The tigers and lions in the court are cautiously guarding against their opponents, who still has the heart to give the emperor a whole moth. As long as the ministers don't cause trouble for him, it is also fun for the emperor to 'sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight' in his spare time. After speaking, he shook his head and his face was full of bitterness.

Li Qiangshen nodded thoughtfully, "That's fine, son, I'm worried that the emperor will be guilty of the state law, and the family will be implicated and the concubine will be implicated, which will be more than worth the loss." ”

"The law of the land? Isn't the emperor the final say? When did you see a relative of the emperor or a minister being sentenced? As long as it does not threaten the society, at best, it will be fined for a few years at most, and the official character will be demoted. But which minister was punished and demoted, and he couldn't live if he was demoted? Silver is never difficult for eunuchs, is it? Li Ziqin, who pinched his forehead, lowered his head and whispered.

"Father, my son understands, without further ado, I will mobilize people and set off immediately!"
