General Li, the traitor Zhao He has been found. ”

An officer hurriedly found Li Xun and informed him that Zhao He had been found.

"Where, take me there."

Li Xun asked the officer to lead the way.

Walking on the road, in all directions of the East Palace, an earth-shattering shout suddenly sounded, and many soldiers wearing other styles of military uniforms poured in.

Li Xun looked at these people and understood, Li Zhong arrived with the follow-up army.

Zhao He actually didn't run far, just a few hundred meters away from Wanglong Tower, a small palace that was somewhat dilapidated, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach casually.

Li Xun felt that something was wrong, stopped his steps, and looked at the officer beside him, with doubts in his eyes.

"General Li, I'll take a look."

The officer spoke, and then walked over, and thirty or forty Praetorian soldiers stood in a group, which was guarded at first, and then someone else came to take over, and they were driven out.

After a while, the officer trotted back and told the reason for the incident: "General Li, this place has been taken over by Liu Jinshui and the soldiers of the East Palace, he is the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Prince, this person has been ordered by the Prince, and no one is allowed to approach Zhao He." ”

After speaking, the officer touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, let General Li run for nothing." ”

Li Xun smiled and patted the officer's shoulder: "Brother, you have also worked hard all night, find a place to rest, there is nothing for you here." ”

The officer nodded, said no more, and led his men away.

Li Xun looked ahead, the whole person was a little silent, Li Zhong led the ministers and the army into the imperial city, at this time he may have joined Zhao Xun, at this time he should hurry up to meet them, in order to perform, prove his merits, this is a great opportunity to show his face in front of the ministers, but after hesitating, Li Xun finally decided to meet Zhao He, this may be the last time the two meet.

Li Xun stepped forward.

"Stop, the prince has an order, no one is allowed to approach Zhao He, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."

When a soldier saw Li Xun approaching, he stepped forward and pushed hard, and his tone was extremely arrogant.

"Fuck off."

Li Xun didn't say a word, and immediately slapped this person in the face.

"Damn it, labor killed you."

The hotness on his face made the soldier furious, and he pulled out the weapon on his waist, just to do it to Li Xun, but he was pulled by the soldiers next to him, obviously someone knew Li Xun, and said the identity of the person in front of him in the soldier's ear.

Li Xun?

When the soldier heard this, his face changed drastically, and he stood still, not daring to make any moves.

Li Xun didn't have the same knowledge as him, and walked in directly.

The soldier who was slapped in the face glanced at Li Xun's back, and said a little unwillingly: "Liu Jinshui has given an order, no one is allowed to enter, his hands are black, if it is because of Li Xun to blame, what should we do?" ”

Another soldier rolled his eyes and scolded in a low voice: "Are you kid missing a string in your brain?" Liu Jinshui is a piece of bullshit, what can he do to us? The big deal is just a few dozen sticks, just a few days off for him, who is Li Xun? His Royal Highness the Prince's cousin, the nephew of the future Queen Mother, offended this person, do you still have a small life? It was so stupid to dare to use a knife against him just now. ”

This person was obviously a recruit, he thought about it, felt that his words were very reasonable, and immediately said to the veteran gratefully: "If you hadn't dissuaded me in time just now, I would have been finished." ”

The veteran patted the recruit? shoulder, sighed: "You and I belong to the sixth rate of the East Palace, is the guard henchmen of His Royal Highness the Prince, tonight desperately protected the safety of the prince, in the future the prince ascended the throne as the emperor, we will definitely be rewarded and promoted, but in the palace, close to the Son of Heaven, there are many opportunities, there are many dangers, a little careless, what taboos have been committed, and I don't even know how to die, so in the future, we will be in the palace, unless there is a clear instruction from the emperor, otherwise we must act carefully, don't offend people casually, don't think I'm verbose, I said these are for your good." ”

The young soldier nodded in understanding.

Inside was a large courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard there was a very tall tree, but this big tree had withered and died, and only the dry branches were left standing there lonely.

Li Xun looked around, the strange thing was that the outside and the surrounding defenses were very tight, but inside the hall, not a single soldier was seen, all of them were outside.

Li Xun's gaze was fixed on the big tree, his eyes couldn't help but become a little blurred, and his memory was pulled back to the fifteenth year of Guangyuan, that year, he and Li Yi recognized each other, and the whole life trajectory began to change dramatically, because he was not very old, he didn't need to be too taboo about those tracks in the palace, in the first half a year, Li Yi often recruited himself into the palace and stayed to live, at that time, Zhao Xun, Zhao He, Zhao Shuo and other princes were not very old and underage, although some people were promoted to princes in advance, but they had not yet opened the palace to claim the king, All the princes lived in the palace.

This somewhat dilapidated palace used to be a place where Li Xun and many princes read and played, and the withered tree used to be very lush, and Li Xun often climbed to the top, which attracted the amazement of many weak princes.

Li Xun's eyes returned to calm, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply, he still remembered that at that time, although Zhao He was silent and didn't deal with people, he took the initiative to come forward several times and ask for some knowledge, and Zhao He would explain to himself very patiently.

At this time, in the room in front of him, Zhao He's laughter suddenly came out: "A villain, dare to let this king pour wine for you, it's really unbelievable, ridiculous, ridiculous." ”

"It's all this time, you still dare to be hard-mouthed, I really don't know whether to live or die."

Liu Jinshui's voice sounded immediately.

Then, after a pause, there was a burst of laughter.

Li Xun strode forward, kicked open the door of the room, and at a glance, he saw Liu Jinshui and other seven or eight people, pulling off Zhao He's princely coat, Zhao He was lying on the ground on his back, his limbs were wide open, and he was pressed to death, Liu Jinshui sat on Zhao He's chest, and poured wine into his mouth with a wine jar.

The door behind him was kicked open, and a loud sound came, Liu Jinshui and the others were startled, turned their heads to look, and saw Li Xun, Liu Jinshui hurriedly stood up, gave everyone a look, and let go of Zhao He.

Liu Jinshui said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Li, why did you come here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, no one is allowed to approach Zhao He, General Li should not be here." ”

Li Xun said lightly: "Before Zhao He was convicted, he was still a noble prince, and you Liu Jinshui dared to bully him like this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." ”

The smile on Liu Jinshui's face began to become reluctant, and he coughed dryly: "Such a traitor, everyone will be punished, I just let him suffer in advance, it's nothing, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, he won't blame me." ”

Li Xun didn't want to talk nonsense with this kind of villain, so he said lightly: "Put down the wine, you go out, I want to say a few words to Zhao He alone." ”

Liu Jinshui's face was embarrassed, and he was about to refuse, but Li Xun said first: "Liu Jinshui, what is the relationship between me and the prince, you know very well, you don't need me to say more, give me a convenience today, maybe it will help you a lot in the future, what do you think?" ”

Liu Jinshui pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, put down the wine jar, and led people out.
