Chapter 517: Leading the Leader (7)
();
Li Xian, the king of Luling, and his entourage went north from Jiangnan Road and entered Guannei Road.
In the assassination outside Fangzhou City, Li Xian was hit by an arrow, his palm was penetrated, the wound was bandaged with a white cloth, but it has not healed, pus and blood will flow from time to time, and people will also have fever and dizziness, but they dare not make a big show to invite a famous doctor, so they can only stand up, and the group is becoming more and more low-key, day and night, wearing stars and moons, and hurrying in the dark.
After entering the Guannei Road safely, he became a little bolder, found a doctor to treat his injuries, and rushed during the day.
Once upon a time, this is the heart of the Tang Dynasty in the heart of Gyeonggi, not to mention the decline in political status at present, the people's livelihood is also quite withered, the caravans that came and went in the past, most of them took Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and found another way, the sound of the camel bell in the pass gradually thinned, the queen of the martial arts took Luoyang as the capital, expanded the city twice, and moved the rich merchant Dajia to the east of the capital many times, and took away a large number of craftsmen, traders and farmers, and the people of the Guannai Province Ding Hu, down a lot.
After a whole day of traveling, the sky was getting dark, Li Xian and the others wanted to stay in a small town, and knocked on the doors of several people's houses in a row, but no one answered.
In desperation, the guards broke down the door of a house that looked a little decent, but it smelled foul, and a corpse that had died for an unknown length of time was lying on the couch, and mosquitoes were breeding, which was extremely terrifying.
Webster refused to re-enter the house for a while, and the group had to sleep in the wilderness.
In the wilderness, when the dry food they carried was exhausted, the guards hunted a few hares, fished a few grass carp, and roasted them roughly, and the two maids picked some wild berries by the roadside, gathered them together, cleaned them, and presented them to their masters.
In a simple tent, the family of four of King Luling, plus Zhang Yizhi, a total of five people, sat in groups, the tent space was narrow, and there was no room for more people, so no one was waiting inside.
The air pressure in the tent was very low, Zhang Yizhi was full of self-esteem, a little bit of a backbone, he was not interested in seeing anyone's face, so he used some hastily, and got up to leave.
"Ai Concubine, use some more, the road is still long, how can it be good to be hungry?" Li Xianxia tore a rabbit leg and sent it to Webster.
The rabbit leg was roasted golden and hot, but there were no spices, and the meat smelled tangy, but it did not arouse Webster's appetite, but aroused her disgusting feeling when she saw the rotting corpse today, and immediately screamed, slapped the rabbit leg off, stood up and kept stepping on it.
"Aifei, what's going on?" Li Xian hurriedly hugged her and asked urgently, Wei Shi struggled like crazy, and broke free from Li Xian's embrace, there was a burst of punches and kicks, his hair was scattered, and he kept screaming in his mouth, "Ahhh......h
"Beloved concubine, beloved concubine" Li Xian called out to her anxiously, turned his face sideways and let her kick and beat, an accidental, bandaged right hand was kicked by Wei, the wound opened, and blood gushed out.
Xu is heavy bloody breath recalled Wei's reason, she hugged Li Xian, and cried bitterly.
"Husband, this, where is this life of people?"
"You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but I am the queen"
……
Merriam-Webster's cry was hysterical, hoarse, his face flushed, and tears poured down his face.
Li Xian sighed, his eyes were also red, he waved his blood-stained hands, asked his two sons to retreat, and said sadly, "It's me who is incompetent, tired of you repeatedly suffering this bad luck, I, I can't stand you"
Wei Shi howled, vented all the suppressed grievances and fears, stopped crying, held Li Xian's hand in his arms, looked and looked, and a string of tears slipped down, beckoned the maid to come in and re-bandage Li Xian.
"Husband, you say, outside Fangzhou City, who is going to assassinate us?" Wei's sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up the food that was already cold, and bit it in a big gulp, without the slightest noble pretension, the whole person was like a piece of ice, cold.
Li Xian waited for the maid to retreat, came over, handed her food, and said bitterly, "The gods are stormy and turbulent, as long as they know the direction of our return to the court, those who hate me will not die, there are many people, and anyone can possibly."
"You might as well do the math, who is the most likely" Wei didn't raise his head, and ate nearly a rabbit in one go, before picking up the Jinpa, wiping his hands and mouth, and breaking his fingers to calculate, "The mother emperor summoned you back to Beijing, there is no need to ask you to die again, Wu Chengsi killed a tiger, not so capable of making waves thousands of miles away, Wu Sansi conspired with us, and had a tacit understanding with each other, so as not to risk the killer, Quan Ce and Taiping, hum, this pair is an outlier, although ruthless, but also affectionate, they probably only hate me, not you...... In this way, there is only one person left, your good brother, Li Dan, who sits on the throne of the emperor's heir."
Li Xian listened quietly, his expression did not move at all, and when she finished speaking, he said quietly, "The mother emperor summoned me back to Beijing, or it may be to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and take the opportunity to get rid of me, although Wu Chengsi is a dead tiger, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, dead and dark people or something, raise a group, don't delay anything, Wu Sansi conspired with us, dealing with the emperor's heir Li Dan, if he learned that I may be the prince when I return to the court, how can he tolerate me?" Li Dan has been sticking to the Li family's unification for ten years, and when I come back, he must be unwilling, so it's not surprising to kill me......"
"In this way, only Quan Ce and Taiping are not suspicious, yes, you entrusted Bao'er's marriage to him, the letter is heavy, and it has nothing to do with this matter...... "The more Wei Shi spoke, the lower his voice became, and Zhou was cold to the bone.
Li Xian pursed his lips sadly, looked up at the triangular starry sky on the tent, squinted, and couldn't see much light, "You also thought of it?" Quan Ce and Taiping are the least suspicious, but they also know this, assassinate me, don't have to kill me, let us fight with Li Dan, Wu Sansi and the like, they stay out of the matter, and they can get the benefit of the fisherman"
"If you want to go back, if you want to go back alive, if you go back to Shendu, it will not be worse than nesting in Fangzhou" Wei's eyes looked straight ahead, his expression was empty but persistent, wrapped in the felt on his body, and stopped talking.
Li Xian was speechless, whether to return or not, maybe his mother had the final say, maybe his wife had the final say, after all, it was not for him to decide.
After several days of trekking, the group finally arrived outside Chang'an City.
Li Xian stopped on the side of the road for a long time, looking at the magnificent city not far away, where he once succeeded to the throne and sat down in the world, and also stepped down in embarrassment and exiled here.
Zhang Yizhi retains a style that is both cold and kind, not mixed or embarrassed, sitting on a horse, waiting quietly.
"Knock Knock"
"When will the bright moon have ......?"
Outside the city gate, the gongs and drums are noisy, the colorful clothes are flying, and there are singers and dancers singing on the high platform.
"Go and ask," Merriam-Webster instructed the little maid.
"Princess, it is the singing stage of His Royal Highness Zhang Luo, saying yes, saying that it is for his eldest son Fangzhou Thorn Shi Wu Chongmin to celebrate" The little maid wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that the princess's expression was a little stern, she hurriedly poured beans into the bamboo tube, "The public power of Xin'an County has requested the will, and Jin Feng Wu Thorn Shi is the king of Xinyang County, and he is also the long history of our palace, His Majesty issued an edict to order Wu Thorn Shi to return to Beijing to report on his work......"
Speaking of the back, the little maid shrank a little, "They all said, said that there was a happy event"
Li Xian and Webster glanced at each other, and Webster rolled his eyes, "Hmph, Wu Chongmin?" Cheaper for him."
"Da Lang acts, it is really impermeable" Li Xianpin smacked for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.
Wei Shi suddenly became a little indignant, "Don't talk about him secretly, the daughters I gave birth to, all of them are like flowers, but there are two of them who are married by him, it's really unreasonable, when I see him, I have to be good and say......"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, emergency military newspaper" There are knights in military uniforms galloping over, with two red flags tied to their backs, which are the outfits of 100,000 urgent military messengers.
Li Xian and the others hurriedly stepped aside, and the Red Feather Messenger galloped in front of him. I want to talk about "The Dawn of the Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life, and find a confidant~
