Shangyin Imperial City has always been stable, although there is a curfew at night, but often even a fly will not appear after the night patrol, it is not very dedicated to the guards who patrol the night, today I saw a large group of people in the distance outside the city gate, and it was a car and a horse, the battle was quite large, and the heart was raised in the throat in an instant.

When the city gate asked in a loud voice, it took a long time for a voice to answer: "The regent patrols the border and returns to Beijing, and opens the city gate quickly." ”

The two guards at the head of the city were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly remembered that they had been notified during the day that the regent would be back today, but now that it was this hour, the people at the head were not fake, right?

One of them hesitated, and the other didn't dare to answer without permission, and only after a while did a voice come from the head of the city: "Please show the waist card to the prince." ”

In the silence of the night, although this voice was respectful, it also showed a bit of loneliness and arrogance because it fell from a high place, after all, there were few people who dared to let the regent show his waist card.

"Are the little guards so blind now?" Chu Ziyu and Su Zhi sat in the carriage together, muttered a word and were about to get up and go out, but heard Su Zhi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, chuckled, he stopped his movements and turned back, and when he saw Su Zhi open his eyes, Chu Ziyu asked again: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Nothing, the guard is alert." After Su Zhi finished speaking, he lazily closed his eyes again, and said, "You sit down, someone will deal with it." ”

Chu Ziyu sat down, and then there was the sound of Yue Xiu's footsteps getting out of the carriage and walking away.

Another group of people who were patrolling at the foot of the city heard the sound of the city head and the words 'regent', and had already arrived at the city gate at this time, and one of them took the waist card handed by Yue Xiu and read it carefully, and hurriedly bowed his head and returned the waist card back to Yue Xiu's hand, and then shouted to the city head: "Open the city gate." ”

It was a moment before the gates opened.

At this time, Yue Xiu had already returned to the carriage to drive the horses, and the group entered the city.

"Why is this Yue Xiu so quiet all of a sudden?" Chu Ziyu rested one elbow on his knee, propped his head on his head and looked at the swaying car curtain and asked, "He keeps talking every time, but this time it's quiet, I'm not used to it." ”

Su Zhi was still leaning lazily and didn't answer, Chu Ziyu knew his temperament, and he didn't chase after him, so he simply raised his voice outside the curtain and said, "Yue Xiu, why are you so quiet this way?" ”

"Where, where is there ......" is actually a somewhat twisted reply.

Just as Chu Ziyu wanted to say more, suddenly a scolding came from outside the carriage: "Who!?" ”

Because of the assassination of Qingpu Road, and later found that a small number of people who slipped away fled to the imperial city, everyone knew in their hearts that there were most likely people in the imperial city who wanted Su to take his life.

At this time, there was a sudden question outside, and Chu Ziyu in the carriage naturally thought of the group of people in Qingpu Road, afraid that they were thieves and wanted to make a surprise attack on Su Zhi when they entered the city.

"It's me, it's me!" There was another deep answer from outside, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"The sea?" Yue Xiu had already pulled the reins, and at this time he poked his head in the dim and squinted, trying to see the figure talking on the side of the street, only vaguely like a sea of stones, and Yue Xiu asked.

"It's me, it's me!" Shi Dahai responded half excitedly and half nervously.

This time he spoke much clearer than the previous sentence, and after a pause, he heard Shi Dahai's voice, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Just asked, without waiting for Shi Dahai to answer, the two guards at the foot of the city who had just closed the city gate saw the regent not far into the city, and there was a carriage that had been parked on the side of the street for several hours suddenly moved, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly ran over from the city gate, because he didn't hear what a few people said, he rushed directly to Shi Dahai at this time, and the two of them worked together to hold Shi Dahai and plead guilty to Yue Xiu.

"The adults forgive the sins, it was the small ones who didn't do anything well, and they didn't notice that there were villains lurking here, which disturbed the prince's car." After saying that, Yue Xiu was stunned for a while, but the two guards thought he was angry and silent, and hurriedly knelt down with Shi Dahai, and said, "Please also ask the prince to forgive his sins!" ”

"Lady Eshiyu! It's me! Shi Dahai was slammed by the two guards, and it was easy to come back to his senses at this time, but the person was already kneeling on the ground, and he wanted to cry without tears, so he had to go to Yue Xiu to help.

Yue Xiu finally reacted, jumped off the carriage, and said as he walked over: "Stop, this is the prince's servant." ”

When the two guards who were worried heard this, they looked at each other, and before they could react, a deep voice came from the car: "There is a curfew at night, you can't walk around the street without a order, the sea, why are you here?" ”

Yue Xiufang walked up to a few people and helped them up, Shi Dahai didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Su Zhi's unhappy tone again, and he was in a panic for a while, and he didn't answer in time.

Another voice in the carriage said: "If you move without an order, you will be punished." ”

The word 'punishment' is cold and ruthless, that is, Yue Xiu didn't dare to answer for a while, and the two guards were even more dazed, only Shi Dahai heard that he was going to be punished, so he reacted and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's the princess!" It was the princess who ordered me to take the prince back to the palace at the gate of the city. ”

There was silence for a moment, and it took a long time for the carriage to say, "Go home." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yue Xiu hurriedly ran back to the carriage, sat on it and continued to drive the horse, while Shi Dahai and the two guards were still stunned, I don't know what the prince meant, whether to punish or not.

"The sea, why are you stunned? Go home! It wasn't until Yue Xiu turned around and shouted at Shi Dahai that Shi Dahai said 'oh' twice, then bowed to the two guards, and ran to the carriage parked on the side of the street, and drove the carriage to follow Yue Xiu and his party.

The two guards saluted, and when they saw the men and horses of the Regent's palace go farther away, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then went on patrol. However, because they were so frightened by Su Zhi, they were much more energetic, and they were more careful and dedicated to their night patrols than usual.

Since there was a curfew, there were naturally no idlers on the street, and when he arrived at Yuqing Street, Shi Dahai was driving the carriage, so Su Zhi asked Shi Dahai to send Chu Ziyu home, and he himself took the original carriage all the way to Chang'an Street.

It took less than an hour for the carriage to go up Chang'an Street, and it was only the beginning of the year when it returned to the Regent's Palace.

Although for Su Zhi and his party, the arrival of Yin Shi was already a fast journey, but after all, it was late at night, but the Regent Palace's Mansion was still brightly lit, and there was even another carriage from the palace parked at the entrance of the mansion.
