Chapter 166: Movement in the Shadows

These people are all people who were attached to Li Yuanjing's command when Li Yuanjing's big tree had not yet withered, and they all had ambitions, but their abilities could not match their ambitions, so if they wanted to go one step or a few steps higher, they could only rely on this kind of risky thing.

Xuan Shijing had just left Chang'an City for only two hours, and the content of his conversation with His Majesty Li Er had been to Da'an Palace in the morning and spread out of the palace, and in the evening, several officials of Chang'an City got together, and the location was chosen in Yanlai Tower.

In the private room on the second floor, everyone had just taken their seats, so they asked the little servant in Yanlailou to prepare a pen and paper charcoal basin.

An old man in his fifties, dressed in dark blue silk, lifted his pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper.

It was written on the paper: Dongshan Hou came out of Chang'an, with the intention of Jingzhou, and His Majesty instructed him.

When everyone saw it, they fell into deep thought, and then another official wrote on a piece of paper: How should we respond?

The old man in blue put the paper in his hand into the charcoal basin, burned it out, and then picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

"We have been in the same boat with King Jing for many years, and we have a great relationship, we can't escape from this matter, we can't hide, we will be involved in it no matter what, it's better to give it a go."

"How do you give it a go?"

"Intercept and kill Xuan Shijing halfway, and buy time for His Royal Highness King Jing to send troops."

"The soldiers in the hands of His Royal Highness King Jing, compared with the imperial court, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning, not to mention the army stationed on the border of Hanzhou, it is the government soldiers in Guanzhong, if it is dispatched, His Royal Highness King Jing is categorically impossible to defeat Ah, in a hurry, how can it be done? Let's wait and see. ā€

"Now the military department in the south of the Tang Dynasty is peaceful, the male has the six countries of Nanzhao who want to make profits with my Tang Dynasty, and there is Tubo in the west, if His Royal Highness King Jing can join Tubo in the west, the chances of winning must be much greater, and I don't have to be so discouraged, I intercepted and killed Xuan Shijing halfway, and I bought time for His Royal Highness King Jing, and said to the worse, even if it doesn't work, then Xuan Shijing will think that the person was sent by King Jing, and we have something to do with it?"

"Very much."

Everyone wrote down their thoughts on a piece of paper, and when everyone had read it, they threw it into a charcoal basin and burned it.

In other words, if Sun Yaoting was so cautious back then, Xuan Shijing would not have been so easy all the way to now, Sun Yaoting is a typical smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

What these people didn't know was that they had just met in Yanlai Building, and they were targeted, and at this time, the people dressed as small maids standing outside the door were listening attentively to the movement in the room, but after listening to it for most of the day, there was no sound except for the sound of paper brushing.

Could it be that they put everything down on paper?

These old foxes! The man dressed as a small servant scolded in his heart, knowing that he would have no result if he stood like this here again, so he turned around and left the second floor and left Yanlai Building.

Yan Lai Lou tied his horse to the horse post outside the building, turned over on the horse, threw a whip in the air, and ran towards the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Master, the fourth is back." The eldest grandson Wuji went down to the court, and after receiving the instructions of His Majesty Li Er, the former ministers of Wude, who controlled the entire Chang'an City and had dealings with Li Yuanjing in the mansion, were sorting out the news in the study, and they could hear the people below report that the spies they sent out were coming.

"Hurry up and let him come to see me in the study." The eldest grandson Wuji said

The spy came back at this time, and there must have been some important news.

The man named Xiao Si was waiting in the courtyard outside the study, and as soon as the scholar came to pass the word, Xiao Si followed the scholar into the study of the eldest grandson Wuji.

The scholar consciously withdrew.

Xiao Si half knelt on the ground and saluted to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Little Si, please see the master." ā€

"Tell me what's going on?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Xiao Si and asked.

"Back to the master, as the master expected, the officials made an appointment to meet in Yanlai Building as soon as it was dark, and several people got together and sat in the private room on the second floor, but the small one stood outside the door and listened carefully for a long time, except for the sound of the paper, there must be this group of people who were too cautious and wrote down the content of their conversation on the paper." Xiao Si said.

"It's a bit of a brain, what about the paper? Are they all destroyed? If it hasn't been destroyed, is there a way to get it? The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Xiao Si and asked.

When Xiao Si heard this, he shook his head: "Back to the master, I'm afraid it's difficult, a few of them asked for three charcoal basins, presumably they were used to burn the paper, and those words written on the paper, except for them, I'm afraid no one knows." ā€

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, I know, you go down to rest first, by the way, those people will arrange for others to continue to keep an eye on them, and be sure to grasp their movements and whereabouts throughout the day." ā€

"Yes, sir, the little one understands, and the little one retires." After bowing, Xiao Si retreated.

The eldest grandson Wuji sat alone in the study, thinking about what was next.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Not long after Xiao Si left, Changsun Chong entered Changsun Wuji's study and knelt opposite Changsun Wuji.

"Father, have those people in Chang'an City moved?"

"Well, this evening, they made an appointment at Yanlai Tower, but these people are very cautious now, and Xiao Si didn't find out what they said." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"In that case, let the child guess." Eldest Sun Chong said with a smile.

"Oh? What are your thoughts? Eldest Sun Wuji looked at Eldest Sun Chong and asked.

"They used to have a lot of dealings with Li Yuanjing, but now that something has happened to Li Yuanjing, there are only two things they can do, one is to quickly think of countermeasures to clear up the relationship with Li Yuanjing, and the other is to help Li Yuanjing, now that Li Yuanjing is in Jingzhou, all they can do now is to buy time for Li Yuanjing, Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing has set off from Chang'an City, if you want to buy time, you must work Xuan Shijing." Changsun Chong said.

"It makes sense, the most likely thing is that they will attack Xuan Shijing on the way, as soon as Xuan Shijing dies, the news will reach Chang'an, and it will be a period of time, and Your Majesty will react again, and it will be another period of time, in this way, Li Yuanjing's time in Jingzhou will be enough for him to rectify the army, if he is in the west and Tubo, the consequences do not depend on the imagination."

"Then father, do you need to send someone to follow and protect Xuan Shijing all the way?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"No, it's not that time yet, don't underestimate Xuan Shijing, although he is younger, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp." (To be continued.) )
