Changan.

"Your Majesty~! Your Majesty~! The old slave has something important to say~! ”

The west garden of the imperial palace, the sleeping palace of the eldest grandson queen.

Zhao Song bent his waist and stood in front of the door, his face was both anxious and helpless.

He understands better than anyone else in his heart that Li Er is probably exercising with Empress Changsun at this hour, and whoever dares to come over to disturb the good things now, it is estimated that the end will not be good, but Zhao Song is also out of line, his subordinates reported such a big matter to him, if he doesn't come and tell Li Er in time, he will be fully responsible for the accident.

"What~?"

After about three breaths, Li Er's muffled voice came from the room.

I can hear that he is in a very unhappy mood~! Anyone who is woken up in the middle of the night is not in a good mood, let alone the king of a country~!

Zhao Song's heart was half cold, and he secretly hated the subordinates who reported the news to him, but now that it was like this, he still had to say:

"Your Majesty, the sound of heavenly thunder and the light of heavenly fire have just been heard from the northeast of Chang'an City, which has already burned half of the sky, and that direction is the Snake Spirit Mountain. The old slave was afraid that the army under the snake spirit mountain would be attacked and the situation would change, so he came to report it late at night, and hoped that His Majesty would atone for his sins~! ”

After Zhao Song finished speaking, the room fell into silence, Li Er didn't have any words, Zhao Song could only wait outside the house, not daring to move, and I don't know how long it took, Li Er's voice that couldn't hear joy and sorrow finally came out: "I know~!" You go down~! ”

Got it~? Is it just that you know it~?

Zhao Song's heart was really full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only bow down and answer the "promise", and then cautiously exited the courtyard gate.

Inside the dormitory.

Empress Eldest Sun's temples were scattered and her cheeks were slightly red, she leaned on Li Er's shoulder and asked suspiciously: "Isn't Erlang worried that General Niu's men and horses have suffered a night attack~?" ”

Li Er came back to his senses from his contemplation, he picked the chin of the eldest grandson, and smiled confidently:

"Hehe~! 10,000 elites besiege a small sect with less than 100 people and do not attack, if the other party takes the initiative to give up the geographical advantage and go down the mountain to attack at night, then I can only say that they think their lives are too long~! Besides, Jinda is strict in governing the army, and it will never let people take advantage of the loopholes~! ”

The confident man is the most attractive, the eldest grandson leaned closer to Li Er with a smile, and then asked, "What happened in the northeast direction to make such a big move~?" Erlang is so calm, he must already know it~? Can you inform the concubine~? ”

Li Er glanced at the northeast with a deep gaze, and then said with a smile to Empress Changsun: "What's going on over there, Guanyin will know tomorrow, now~!" Should we continue what we just didn't finish~? ”

"Huh~? No~! ”

.................................

"It's dry, be careful of the candle~!"

"Bell~!"

At the fourth watch (one o'clock in the morning of modern time), in this era when there is no TV, no Internet, and no computer, people have basically fallen asleep at this time, but there is one exception, that is, the husband.

The profession of husband has appeared as early as the Zhou Dynasty. "Zhou Li" recorded: "The evening strike is compared to it." According to the interpretation of "Cihai", it is "the wood that is struck by the night walk", which is the same as the most commonly used bangzi later.

The curfew system in Chang'an City is only for ordinary people, and the husband is not among them, because in addition to the well-known function of the guard, there is also a night patrol, fire prevention and theft prevention, if someone steals, they can go to the government to report the case and get a rich bounty.

Therefore, it was a very respectable profession in ancient times.

Yongle Fang, two old men in blue clothes and blue hats, one holding a gong, the other striking on the side, singing and harmonizing.

Why are two people playing together~? The main thing is to embolden each other~! After all, there are no street lights here, and it is dark all around, and everyone is afraid.

As usual, the two of them planned to go home and rest for half an hour after this fight, when a fire suddenly floated from the sky to this side, and what was even more strange was that there seemed to be a long thing hanging under the fire.

"Ghost~~Ghost~~Ghost~~Ghost~~Ghost~! Huai'an run~! ”

"Demon... Youkai~! I'm a mother~! Changgui waits for me~! ”

Both of them looked frightened, and they didn't want anything in their hands, so they just ran away.

"Huhuhu~! Wocao, this is really not a human thing, next time I don't pretend to say anything, I honestly hug my daughter-in-law at home~! ”

Above the sky, Li Zexuan looked at the familiar mansion below, took a few deep breaths, and said depressedly.

Chang'an City to Snake Spirit Mountain, the straight-line distance in the air is more than 20 miles away, back and forth as two humanoid "engines", the most cheating thing is that when I come back, it is still a headwind, can this special mother not be tired~? The grandmaster is also going to be tired into a dog.

"It's okay~! This wave of coercion has finally succeeded, and those people's revenge has been avenged, so you can go home and rest in peace~! ”

Li Zexuan controlled the hot air balloon and came to the sky above the Li Mansion, and then he slowly turned off the flame, intending to let the hot air balloon slowly land in the West Courtyard.

"Bang~!"

If you want to land, you have to unload the goods first, Li Zexuan dropped the hot air balloon ten meters from the ground, and untied the rope tied to the corpse of the seven big snakes, and listened to the "bang", the corpse of the giant snake fell to the ground, and then he was ready to let the hanging basket "land".

"Where are the rats, dare to come to the Li Mansion to steal~!"

But it was the "head of the guard" of the Li family who was awakened by the sound of the giant snake landing just now, and he hurriedly ran outside the west courtyard and gave a deep shout, and then he was about to break in.

"It's me~! Non-base~! It's none of your business, go and rest~! ”

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice outside.

Pang Feiji was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is the lord back~?" ”

His footsteps also hurriedly stopped, just in a hurry, he almost forgot the rules, this west courtyard is inhabited by women, he said that it is inconvenient to go in~!

"Hmm~! Let's go and rest~! Don't disturb others~! ”

Li Zexuan let out a faint "um", and then continued to control the hot air balloon to "land".

Pang Feiji could only vaguely see a faint fire in the courtyard outside, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, sir~!" ”

With that, he retreated.

"Hey~! Quietly went out of the city, and quietly returned triumphantly, is Lao Tzu a quiet shot or not~? ”

Li Zexuan jumped out of the hanging basket, turned off the hot air balloon, and roughly cleaned it up, and then dragged the body of the Seven Cultivator Snake to the open space on the side, muttering to himself.

"Xianggong, you're back~!"

At this moment, the door opened, and the candlelight in the room also "jumped" out, and I saw Han Yuxi wearing a thin pink cloak, standing at the door and smiling at Li Zexuan.
