Liu Xiu wanted to sneak attack the Yancen Department stationed in Hanzhong, but he couldn't choose a suitable commander for a while.

Wu Han recommended a good candidate for Liu Xiu, the new former general Li Tong, although Liu Xiu agreed with Wu Han's recommendation, but because he was worried about Liu Boji's side, he really couldn't send Li Tong after thinking about it.

The matter was put on hold for the time being.

However, Tian Rong, who took refuge in Gongsun Shu and was named the king of Yijiang, never forgot the old land, he gathered his old department, and joined Gongsun Shu's generals to expir their term of office, and sent troops together, advancing eastward, invading Nanjun, and wanting to capture Nanjun.

At present, Cen Peng is leading the Han army, stationed in the area of Jiangling in Nanjun, where Cen Peng set up an impregnable defensive line, Tian Rong and Ren Man launched a fierce attack on the defense line of Cen Peng's army, but they failed to break through the defense line of Cen Peng's army.

The report of the battle in the south soon reached Luoyang, and Liu Xiu, who learned of this, was furious and transferred 50,000 troops of 100,000 troops stationed in Chang'an, led by Feng Yi himself, to reinforce Nanjun.

In addition, he sent Zhijin Wu Zhufu to take over the position of the chief general of the Western Army, and continued to carry out Tuntian in Chang'an.

Early in the morning, the Imperial Palace, Yongxiang.

Every morning, a farmer enters the palace to collect garbage, and today is no exception.

Several peasants dressed in sackcloth and linen trousers, led by the guards, walked into the Yongxiang of the palace.

Yongxiang is a narrow alley in the imperial palace, which was originally the residence of the palace maids and concubines, and later, Yongxiang gradually became a place where the palace prisoners were held, and the infamous Yeting Prison was located here.

At present, Yongxiang has become the most eerie place in the palace, and the garbage in the palace is also transported out from here every day.

An old man walking in front of the carriage and the palace guards are old acquaintances, after all, they meet every day.

The old man said as he walked forward: "Guard Li, in the past few days, I see that there seem to be more guards inside and outside the palace. ”

One of the head guards glanced back at the old man, nodded, and said, "Yes, the manpower has increased a lot."

Now Luoyang is not peaceful, and Wei Wei has just changed people, and the new official has taken office with three fires! ”

The old man asked curiously, "How does Cho Weiwei compare to Li Weiwei?" ”

The leader of the guards shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can a little guard of my level come into contact with Lord Guard?" ”

After a pause, he added: "Cho Wei Wei is a general in the army, and he is a favorite minister today, so if you think about it, your character will not be bad. ”

The old man nodded, and as they spoke, they walked into a courtyard.

There are a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the courtyard, including leftovers, leftovers, and rags, etc., and almost all the garbage of the entire palace is stored here.

At that time, the palace already had a sewage system, and human excrement did not need to be transported by wooden barrels, but could be directly discharged outside the palace through the sewage channel.

Of course, at that time, the only one who could afford to build a sewage system was the palace where the Son of Heaven was located.

Entering the courtyard, the old man commanded his workers to carry the garbage one by one to the carriage.

While the workers were working, the old man came to the head of the guard and said with a smile on his face: "Guard Li, there is something I want you to do me a favor with!" ”

The leader of the guards looked at him puzzled, and the old man turned around and beckoned, and said, "Xiao Du! ”

At the sound of his summons, a young man came running quickly, and when the old man and the leader of the guards approached, he bowed respectfully.

The old man said with a smile: "Xiao Du and a palace maid in the palace are fellow villagers, I haven't seen them for a long time, Li Guard, you see...... Can you arrange for them to meet here? ”

When the leader of the guards heard this, he immediately frowned.

People outside the palace want to have a private meeting with the palace maid, is this worth it?

The young man named Xiao Du hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Guard Li, don't get me wrong, Xiao and her are just meeting once, and they have nothing else to do." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few five-baht coins from his cuffs, stuffed them into the head of the guards, and said with a smile: "I hope that the guards can make it convenient and help." ”

There were only a few coins, and the leader of the guards didn't pay attention to them at all, his face sank, he pushed back the coins handed over by the young man, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?" ”

The young man looked at a few coins in his hand with a wry smile and said: "Guard Li is a person who has seen the world, so naturally he doesn't look down on the villain's money, but this fellow villager of the villain is very rich and very favored in the palace, as long as Guard Li is willing to help, she will never treat Guard Li badly." ”

When Guard Li heard this, he asked curiously, "What is the name of your fellow countryman?" ”

The young man said: "Her name is Luo You, I don't know if Guard Li knows each other?" ”

Guard Li couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know Luo You, but he had heard of her name.

Luo You has saved the Yin nobles twice, in the palace, how can anyone not know Luo You's name?

He asked, "Are you a fellow villager of Miss Luoyou?" ”

"Exactly!"

"What's your name?"

"Villain Du Qing."

As he spoke, he took out a copper coin with a missing corner, handed it to Guard Li, and said: "Back then, this copper coin was given to me by Luo You, and Guard Li showed it to her, she will definitely come to see me!" I hope that Guard Li will help! The villain and Luo You will not treat Guard Li badly! ”

The implication is that he can't afford to give too many benefits, but Luo You can definitely afford it.

Guard Li took the copper coin, looked at it over and over, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, you wait here, but it's okay if you want me to pass the word, but if Miss Luoyou is willing to come to see you, I don't dare to guarantee it." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately looked the young man up and down.

The young man is born well, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but the work he does is really not on the table.

Guard Li took the missing dime coin given to him by Du Qing, walked out of Yongxiang, and went straight to the West Palace.

Early in the morning, there were not many people walking around in the palace, and after the Li guards came to the West Palace, they happened to see a little palace maid coming out of it, he stepped forward quickly, and said, "This palace lady!" ”

The little palace maid was stunned and looked at Guard Li in puzzlement.

Guard Li said with a smile: "Trouble this little Gong'e, help me find Miss Luoyou." ”

"You ......" "I'm in a hurry."

The little palace maid thought about it, but nodded, turned around and returned to the West Palace, not long after, Luo You came out of the West Palace, and when she saw the Li guard at the door, she couldn't help but be stunned, in her impression, she didn't seem to know this person.

Seeing Luo You, Guard Li was also stunned, he really didn't expect that Luo You, the savior of the two times, would be so beautiful, although he was not as good as the master of the West Palace, Yin Guiren, but it was not far behind.

He was the first to come back to his senses and arched his hand and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Luoyou?" ”

"I'm Luo You, are you ......" "That's the case, there is a person named Du Qing, who claims to be a fellow villager of Miss Luo You, and wants to see you......" While Li Guard's words spoke, Luo You's heart was shocked, Du Qing?

Is it Senior Brother Du Qing?

He...... How did he find himself?

How did he get into the palace?

After Guard Li finished speaking, he took out a coin from his cuff, handed it to Luo You, and said, "That Brother Du said that when Luo You saw this coin, he would naturally remember who he was. ”

Luo You took the coin, looked at it fixedly, and confirmed even more that the person who found him was Senior Brother Du Qing.

She asked quietly, "Excuse me, where is he now?" ”

"Yongxiang."

"Yongxiang?

He...... How could he be in that kind of place? ”

Guard Li said: "Miss Luoyou doesn't have to be nervous, he just entered the palace to clean up the sundries." ”

Luo You suddenly realized that every morning, people from outside the palace would enter Yongxiang and search for the sundries in the palace, it seemed that Senior Brother Du Qing must be mixed with these people.

She asked, "He wants to see me?" ”

"Exactly! If it's inconvenient for the girl, you can not go, and I will help the girl send him away. ”

"No!"

Luo You said urgently, seeing that Guard Li looked at her in surprise, she said with a smile: "Du Qing is indeed my fellow countryman, and I haven't seen him for many years, I want to meet him." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, took out a gold leaf from her arms, handed it to Guard Li, and said with a smile: "Trouble the big brother of the guard to come to inform me, a little heart, and I hope that the big brother of the guard must smile." ”

Guard Li was flattered and hurriedly excused himself, but Luo You insisted, and in the end he accepted it.

Luo You said: "Today's matter, I hope Brother Li can help me keep it secret!" ”

"Miss Luoyou, don't worry, she will never talk nonsense to the outside world."

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Luo You thanked Li Guard for his kindness and followed him to Yongxiang.

In the courtyard of Yongxiang, Luo You saw Du Qing.

Both of them were very excited in their hearts, but they still pretended to be calm on the surface.

Luo You just stood at the entrance of the courtyard and didn't go in, as if he hated that it was too dirty inside.

Du Qing took the initiative to come out of the courtyard and bowed to Guard Li again and again to thank him.

Guard Li looked at Luo You, and then at Du Qing, and couldn't help but pout secretly, this is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat! He stood aside and had no intention of leaving.

Luo You still opened his mouth and said, "Brother Li, can you let me and Du Qing say a few words alone?"

I'll leave when I'm done! ”

"Good, good, good!"

Guard Li nodded in agreement.

Then, he looked at Du Qing again and walked into the courtyard.

Outside the hospital, only Luo You and Du Qing were left.

Luo You glanced at the courtyard, took a few steps to the side, and said in a low voice: "Why did Senior Brother suddenly enter the palace, this is too dangerous!" ”

Seeing Luo Youhao standing in front of him, Du Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhang Guang said that he had the opportunity to take Yin Lihua's life that day, but you were the one who got in the way and stopped him. ”

Luo You frowned and said, "Yin nobles can't die, otherwise, I won't be able to stay in the palace." ”

Du Qing was about to answer, but Luo You said urgently: "Now I say, senior brother just listen." ”

After a pause, she looked at the courtyard again, and saw that the eyes of the Li guards standing in the courtyard drifted towards her side from time to time, and she said in a low voice and hurriedly: "Liu Xiu dispatched 50,000 troops to the west, ordered Feng Yi to be the main general, went south to Nanjun, reinforced Cen Peng, and succeeded Feng Yi, who was the ruling Jinwu Zhu Fu.

Liu Xiu does not plan to use troops in Chang'an now, but wants to use troops in Nanjun.

King Yijiang and General Ren, who went deep into Nanjun, may be attacked by the Han army from both sides at any time, and the senior brother needs to report these situations back to Chengdu as soon as possible, and ask His Majesty to decide.

"Also, Wu Han and Gai Yan have been transferred back to Luoyang by Liu Xiu, and the person who took over as the chief general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is Geng Yi, it seems that Liu Xiu has shifted the focus of his troops from east to west, and His Majesty needs to prepare as soon as possible......" Before she finished speaking, Li Guard had already walked over.

Luo You subconsciously took a step back and said to Du Qing: "Brother Du, Luo You will ask you for family affairs, if there is something in the future, Brother Du can ask Brother Li to come to me." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Guard Li again, and said with a smile: "In the future, there may be trouble for Brother Li, but Luo You will not let Brother Li help in vain!" ”

Li Guarde said happily: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as it's Miss Luoyou's business, it's my responsibility!" ”

As he spoke, he took a deep look at Du Qing again, obviously full of hostility and rejection towards Du Qing.

Luo You smiled at Guard Li, nodded to Du Qing again, and said, "If the noble man can't find me, he will be in a hurry, I have to go back." ”

With that, she turned and walked out.

Guard Li hurriedly said, "Miss Luoyou, I'll send you." ”

As he spoke, he walked beside Luo You with an excited face.

Looking at the backs of Luo You and Guard Li leaving, Du Qing squinted his eyes, stopped for a moment, and then returned to the courtyard and continued to work, and did his best.
