Li Chengxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What should Ling Lang do?" As far as I know, he is also devoted to Xiling, is Mr. Xiao willing to do it? ”

Xiao Zhiwu pretended to sigh, "For the great cause of His Highness, the stability of the country, the sacrifice of decay is nothing." ”

"Oh, I see." Li Chengxuan smiled leisurely, "I thought that Mr. Xiao wanted to take a shortcut by using my identity, first snatching my imperial brother's throne, and then kicking me away, letting Xiling be the empress and supporting Jiming to be the emperor." When Xiling gave birth to his heirs, he was justifiably established as the crown prince, and from now on, the Tang Dynasty will change its surname to 'Xiao'. ”

Li Chengxuan's words were understated, and easily pierced Xiao Zhiwu's thoughts. The latter really sank his face, and he didn't see Fang Cai's calmness.

"However," Li Chengxuan changed his words again, "it's okay." ”

Xiao Zhiwu was slightly surprised: "The prince has the conditions?" ”

"Cooperation is important in honesty, and I want to know what secrets are hidden in this stronghold." Li Chengxuan continued to ask, deliberately delaying time.

was seen through by the other party, "The prince is tricking me?" ”

"I always want to know."

Xiao Zhiwu looked at him for a moment, and then refused, "I'm sorry, it's about the great cause of Wu Zhou, if the prince doesn't agree to cooperate, the old man won't dare to reveal it easily." ”

"It's okay, even if Mr. Xiao doesn't say it, I can guess ten." Li Chengxuan speculated on his own, "First, everyone in Wuning County knows martial arts, and it should be a secret guard cultivated by the martial queen, who has been stationed here for a long time to thrive and protect Taiping Mountain for generations, right?" ”

Xiao Zhiwu did not answer.

Li Chengxuan continued, "Second, building such a sophisticated organ in this mountain and placing a county town to guard it here must be for something very important. It's nothing more than the money for restoration, a huge amount of money, or some kind of symbol. ”

Xiao Zhiwu narrowed his eyes again, but still did not respond.

Li Chengxuan said sharply, "Third, Mr. Xiao has the heart of self-reliance, but he didn't kill Xiling, so it can be seen that you can't completely drive the secret guards in Wuning County." Mr. wants to emulate Cao Mengde and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”

He was ruthless in every word, and Xiao Zhiwu simply said, "The prince is indeed clever, but the old man also guessed the prince's thoughts." ”

"Sir, come and hear it."

"You want to delay time and let Wu Yuanheng and Guo Zhongting escape from Wuning."

Li Chengxuan's face did not change when he heard this.

Xiao Zhiwu smiled, "The prince doesn't have to think in vain, the secret passage of the county order mansion has long been known." Before you came to Taiping Mountain, Lao Yu had arranged secret guards to guard the two exits, and the county government was also besieged, and they couldn't escape. ”

"Mr. must have misunderstood," Li Chengxuan pretended to be helpless, "I don't know what secret passage there is, today I came out with Xiling to find Wu Xiangye." ”

Xiao Zhiwu looked puzzled.

Li Chengxuan sighed lightly, "Somehow, when I woke up this morning, the county order mansion was empty, and only a few people were left on duty in the mansion." Oh by the way, they still left a letter, do you want to read it, sir? ”

As he spoke, he reached into his arms, and Xiao Zhiwu immediately made a defensive gesture. Li Chengxuan chuckled when he saw this, and then slowly took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to the other party, "Sir, please take a look." ”

Xiao Zhiwu took it and looked at it, there were only a few words on the letter, and it was written crookedly, and it looked like a child's pen

Let's go to the bazaar.

On the evening of May 12

Wei Tong's letter was actually left last night, and they escaped from the secret passage last night! Xiao Zhiwu was furious: "Who is this Wei Tong?" ”

"A seven-year-old child of Wei County." Li Chengxuan pretended to be worried, "Alas, I am also a newcomer, and I didn't know that there was no curfew in Wuning County. They went out to the market last night and didn't come back until this morning, so I was so worried that I had to take Xiling out to look for it. ”

It's really a clumsy excuse, but it can make Xiao Zhiwu angry. As if in response to what he said, at this time, a secret guard suddenly ran in, and said to Xiao Zhiwu in his ear, "Pavilion Master, the county order mansion is empty, there is no one in the secret passage, and there is no one at the two exits. ”

"Rubbish!" Xiao Zhiwu slapped his subordinate with his backhand and asked Li Chengxuan sharply, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Chengxuan naturally won't tell the truth.

According to the original plan, Wu Yuanheng and the others should have escaped from the secret passage this morning, while he and Xiling Yue went out to draw the attention of the Xiao family's father and son. But just yesterday afternoon, after Wu Yuanheng made the plan clear, Guo Zhongting raised a fatal question - the Xiao family father and son have been operating in Wuning County for many years, how could they not know that the county government has a secret passage? Maybe they're waiting for them to crawl out of the secret passage and wait for the rabbit at the exit?

As soon as this remark came out, everyone shouted that it was reasonable, and they had to think of another way to get out, but they didn't come up with a perfect solution.

At this moment, Wei Xianling, who has always been timid and afraid, stood up and admitted that there was a secret passage in his home, which he had dug recently, leading to a green building in the city.

Wuning County is close to the Yushui Wharf, and merchants come and go frequently, and some people have taken a fancy to this business a long time ago, and together with the county guard at that time, they set up two green buildings here. It is mainly to entertain passing merchants, and the locals are mostly descendants of the martial arts, and they are self-disciplined, so they stay away from the Qinglou.

In the past, Wei Xianling often pretended to be a merchant to visit the Qinglou, but after a long time, he was discovered, he was afraid of causing gossip, and he was reluctant to raise a confidant, so he quietly built a secret passage to pass through. Fortunately, Wuning County is not big, and the secret passage has only been dug for more than half a month, and even his wife doesn't know about it.

So, just yesterday evening, everyone fled with Wei County's family and fled from the secret passage, first fled to the Qinglou through the secret passage, and then swaggered away from Wuning in disguise as merchants. For the sake of prudence, they went out of the city from the North City Gate, the West City Gate and the East City Gate, and agreed to meet in Liangshan County.

In order to prevent accidents, Li Chengxuan and Xilingyue still went out early this morning to attract the attention of the Xiao family's father and son according to the original plan. Carefully calculating the time, now Wu Yuanheng and his entourage have already met in Liangshan County, and the army of the imperial court is estimated to be almost there.

It's also a coincidence, as soon as Li Chengxuan thought of this, he saw Uncle Zhu hurriedly running in, and said to Xiao Zhiwu, "Pavilion master, many soldiers and horses have suddenly gathered in the west and north of the city, and there are also many cavalry twenty miles outside the east of the city!" ”

Xiao Zhiwu was shocked: "What about the waterway? ”

Uncle Zhu shook his head: "Not known for the time being." ”

Xiao Zhiwu's heart sank, his killing intent was revealed, and he turned his head to look at Li Chengxuan, "Lord Wang, this is a toast, don't eat and drink." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to press the mechanism at hand to shoot Li Chengxuan, but only halfway through, there was a sudden sound at the stone gate. Immediately, fifty-six stone bricks appeared on the south wall, and each brick had a word written on it, which was the "Poem of King Teng's Pavilion" written by Wang Bo.

Xiao Zhiwu instantly understood Aiko's thoughts, and smiled coldly, "They have opened the 'heart-to-heart seal'." ”

Li Chengxuan frowned.

Xiao Zhiwu didn't explain a word, took Uncle Zhu a step back and stepped on a stone slab. The stone slab immediately made a "click" sound, and quickly supported him and Uncle Zhu to sink.

In the blink of an eye, the two had disappeared, leaving only Li Chengxuan and the subordinate who came to report the news.

"Heart-to-heart......" subordinates weakened their legs and sat down on the ground.

"What do you mean?" Li Chengxuan asked in a deep voice.

The subordinate shuddered, and before he could speak, Li Chengxuan had already grabbed the placket of his clothes and raised his hand to choke his throat, "Say!" ”

"I said, I said......" After all, this is related to his life, and he doesn't want to hide it anymore, "Once you turn on the 'Heart to Heart Seal', this poem will appear inside and outside the door at the same time, and you and the people inside must choose the same word, otherwise you will be pierced by ten thousand arrows and die." ”

Li Chengxuan narrowed his eyes: "What if I don't choose?" ”

"If you don't choose, the mechanism will automatically open after half a cup of tea, and it will be the same as ten thousand arrows!" The subordinate pointed to the portrait on all sides and explained, "This is to protect His Highness's true face." ”
