In the residence where the guards rested in the southeast corner of Jianzhang Palace, at this moment, Gongsun Ao felt a little strange, since the afternoon, he didn't see Wei Qing's figure.

And usually, he would never be away for so long. I asked a few guards, and some of them said that it seemed that Mrs. had something to do with him out of the palace in the afternoon.

Gongsun Ao always felt that something was not right, he knew that Brother Qing was a cautious and careful person, it was all over the time, and he wouldn't come back, right? The palace gates have long been closed.

When he was secretly thinking and wondering, he suddenly heard the light sound of the window lattice, and his heart was shocked, and when he hurriedly looked up, a wisp of sharp edge snapped and nailed to the opposite wall, Gongsun Ao reacted quickly, pulled out the knife with his backhand, jumped out of the window, and at the same time gave a whistle to warn.

Seven or eight nearby guards quickly gathered around when they heard the sound, but they saw a faint moonlight, the wind was calm and the leaves were calm, and there was nothing unusual in the distance.

Gongsun Ao was still not at ease, and led all the guards to search the entire Jianzhang Palace, but found nothing. Everyone was surprised, and when they returned to the room just now, they saw a small dagger nailed to the wall, and a red cloth floating at the end.

A guard stepped forward and pulled it out, unfolded the red cloth, and when everyone gathered around to look at it, a few big words were clearly in the light: "Wei Qing is in trouble, and his life is worried!" Everyone looked up at each other, and their hearts sank.

Dozens of miles south of Chang'an City, the plain began to gradually turn into undulating mountains, and here has entered the range of the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

The hundreds of miles of Zhongnan Mountain cut off the north-south thoroughfare, and also became a natural barrier for Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. And the beautiful scenery of the northern slope of the mountain is the location of the Royal Garden ~ Shanglin Garden.

Shanglin Yuan was first built by Emperor Wen. Several former emperors of the Han family were martial arts, and such a large forbidden area was drawn out in this area, on the one hand, it was used as a hunting place, and on the other hand, it was naturally the intention of some autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

The wind in the mountains was a bit cold, and there were faint bonfires flickering in the camps near and far, and occasionally there were a few neighing sounds of war horses.

The forbidden place of Lin Yuan, which had been noisy for a day, gradually fell silent, and the attendants and soldiers returned to their tents to rest. The sound of scabbards hitting armor as the autumn grass rose and fell, and the vigilant guards exchanged passwords before continuing to patrol the perimeter.

The veteran waits outside the gold-topped royal tent door, like a pine and cypress standing on the mountain, his face is grim, the night frost is gradually rising, and his eyebrows and temples are dyed.

The person who came from Chang'an and held the special jade plate had been in for half an hour, Li Guang was a little uneasy in his heart, he had guarded Weiyang Palace for many years, so he naturally knew the identity of these people, they were "Xifengwei", and they were directly under the orders of the Son of Heaven himself's secret organization, if it weren't for something important that happened, they wouldn't have sent someone to come at night in such a hurry.

I hope there won't be any big turmoil! Although the factions in the palace are tilting and the undercurrent is surging, they have only made some small actions all the time, and the peaceful relationship on the surface still has to be maintained. If some forces want to provoke and upset the balance at this juncture, it is really not a good time.

The person who came finally reported everything, slowly bowed and withdrew, said hello to the veteran at the door, and left in a hurry in the night.

A moment later, the guard at the tent door lifted the curtain, and the light flashed, and someone came out.

Li Guang made a military salute, waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary, and then put his hands on his shoulders and walked to the edge of the flat land, silent, looking at the dark shadows of the mountains in the distance, the wind howling like waves.

Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, is not calm in his heart now, and even a little angry. After receiving Xi Fengwei's secret report, he was angry that some people didn't understand his forbearance.

Not long ago, the assassination of Liu Ju was suppressed in the name of ordinary thieves robbing money halfway, and many people know what the actual situation is.

This time, the autumn siege of Zhongnan Mountain, the spirit of the ancestors who hunted without falling is only one aspect, and the deeper intention is to take this opportunity to test all parties.

Even aside from the reason of pampering Wei Zifu, he still has some love for the youngest son Liu Ju who is now by his side.

Although his personality may be a little weaker, it is nothing, because he believes that when he completely controls the world, those long-hidden grandiose minds will be realized one by one. The country left to his son will be different from his ancestors, and Xiao Ju'er only needs to be a benevolent and virtuous Taiping king.

Yes, he now has a plan to make Liu Ju the crown prince. Bringing him out this time is a clear signal to test the reaction of all parties.

As for the queen...... Not to mention that she has no children now, even if she does, it is absolutely impossible to become a prince, this has nothing to do with feelings, it is purely due to interests.

Because, the queen and the forces behind her are already too big! It's so big that it can almost compete with the emperor's authority, which is absolutely unbearable for young kings, and it has to be guarded against, even if the queen used to be the childhood sweetheart's crush!

Sure enough, I can't stand the temptation! Liu Che sighed secretly. Beckoning, the chamberlain hurriedly walked a few steps and leaned over to listen to the command.

"Summoning General Xiao Li to meet you!" The short words reveal the majesty of the emperor, and imply a certain determination.

General Xiao Li is Li Kang, Li Guang's youngest son, and his current position is the captain of the Yulin Military Academy, and the official worships the lieutenant general. In order to distinguish himself from his father, the army called him General Xiao Li.

After a while, Li Dang came as ordered, bowed down, and bowed his hands to obey the order.

Liu Che said a few words in person, Li Dang's face was solemn, and he nodded to show that he understood. He reached out and took the pen from the hand of the waiter, wrote down a Huang Aya's will, and handed it to Li Kang.

"Go ahead! Just do it cheaply. ”

Li Dang took it, took it in his arms, and bowed down. A team of Yulin troops turned back to Chang'an in the starry night.

In the vast night, the torches dotted between the mountains and mountains were drifting away, and the veteran stood behind the Son of Heaven with the hilt of his sword, speechless.

Somewhere in Xiaodong Lane in Chang'an City, the seven guards, including Gongsun Ao, changed into ordinary people's clothes, hid their swords, and quietly lurked in a hidden place. There have been two people who have been to visit before, and in this ordinary-looking courtyard in front of them, there are many guards, a lot of people, and they all look like they are agile.

After some quiet discussion, it was decided that it would not be easy to fight hard, so as not to startle the snake, and it was necessary to wait for a suitable time, and it was best to rush directly to the place where Wei Qing was held after entering, and rescue the person after the incident.

Gongsun Ao was still a little confused until now, and he couldn't think of anyone who would come to pass the news to Jianzhang Palace.

Is this really difficult for Wei Qing? Or is it a trap that someone deliberately laid down? However, Brother Qing really hasn't come back, and there is no news!

Gongsun Ao gathered all the guards of Jianzhang Palace, and after discussing for a long time, there was no result, everyone is a person who dances with knives and sticks, and it is really difficult to come up with an idea!

However, I can't tell Mrs. Wei about this yet, for fear that she will worry.

In the end, it was finally decided that Gongsun Ao would lead a few people to the address mentioned on the cloth to see, in case someone really wanted to frame him, he would try to rescue him, which was a major matter related to Brother Qing's life and death.

At this time, seeing such a situation in the courtyard, several people couldn't help but believe most of the matter. Gesturing to disperse, looking around for a gap, ready to sneak in.

At the same moment, Ji Di, who was about to rest in the backyard of the Chang'an Mansion, put on his clothes again and came to the hall, because his right-hand men Yao Shang and Yun Meng were waiting for him and told him a piece of news.

"A thief?...... What do you mean? After listening to the general report, Chang'an made the adults a little confused.

Yao Shang sighed and briefly told Ji Huang some of the information he had deduced from what the thief had said.

It turned out that Wu Nengjian, who was shot by Xiaoice and an arrow, finally broke away from the terrible tea house, and his heart gradually settled, and when he was about to arrive at Chang'an Mansion, he finally couldn't help but shout, saying that he was a person from the eldest princess's mansion, and he acted on orders tonight, and he only ended up like this because he fell into the other party's trick. It's better not to participate in your little mansion, otherwise you won't know how to die after wading into this troubled water! Hurry up and let yourself go, so that you can go back and report the .......

At first, the head catcher who led the team thought that this kid was talking nonsense because he wanted to escape, and slapped him a few times with a scabbard to tell him to be honest! Who knew that the more he talked about it later, the more he became more and more troubled, and then he looked at this person with no fear, but he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

Thinking of the recent serious rectification of Lord Jidian, in order to be perfect, the head catcher beckoned a person and ordered him to go quickly to report to Yun Meng, the head catcher, to see what he said.

Yun Meng was checking an old case with Yao Shang in the detention room, and when he heard what the person said, he didn't think of anything else, and he was just about to order someone to be locked up first, no matter where he came from!

Yao Shang on the side heard that it was involved in the eldest princess's mansion, but he felt a little strange, he nodded to stop Yun Meng, and said that he might as well go and see it first.

When he saw Wu Neng who was escorted into the palace, Yao Shang first read the confession, and then asked in detail, secretly surprised in his heart.

It's not easy! If this man's words are true, then this could well be the beginning of a big storm.

Regarding these political struggles, especially the struggles that will involve the Weiyang Palace, Yao Shang has always advised his master to stay away as much as possible and not to participate in indecision-making.

Because Ji Di is too upright! Over the years, people who have offended people have long been everywhere in the government and the opposition. If it weren't for the Holy Grace Youlong, he would have been miserable a long time ago!

Now that the Chang'an Mansion has taken over this hot potato, it is unavoidable. He couldn't help but stare at the head catcher who was standing next to him with hatred, and the guy shrank his neck in fright, not understanding why this Lord Yao looked at him with such a cannibalistic eye.

"...... from the people who were captured from Fanxue Tower?" Yao Shang's mind swept over the face of a person named Yuan Zhao, and he decided that it must be the little guy's troublemaker.

"Want to lead the way to the water? Hey, kid! Do you think it's so easy to shake off all this that sticks to the royal family? It's still too tender! ”

Yao Shang muttered to himself, Yun Meng also heard the unusual thing about this matter at this time, and hurriedly asked Master Yao what to do?

"In any case, since the government has been involved in this matter, it cannot be shirked. Let's go and report it first, and then discuss a safe plan together, so as to prepare for what may happen next. ”

Yao Shang and Yun Meng led people to the depths of the mansion, and the lights gradually turned on, which should be another sleepless night of planning.

The majestic water of Jingwei surrounds the outside of the city, steaming up the fog and hazy, the majestic palace, the smoke cage Chang'an, and everything gradually disappears into ......!
