Chapter 137: A shocking judgment

The second update is ...... I'm very tired, take a leave today, just two shifts, thank you for your understanding.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zhang Xuan strode over silently, bowed to the corpse, and froze for a few minutes.

Long.

Zhang Xuan turned around to look at Zhou Xuchu and Xiao Shisanlang, and said in a deep voice, "Two, what's going on?" ”

Zhou Xuchu bowed down and said in a low voice, "General, a team of non-commissioned officers patrolled here, and found that several black-clothed people were secretive about their whereabouts↓ I wanted to send someone to report back to the General's Mansion, but I was caught off guard by dozens of black-clothed people who suddenly rushed out of the mansion...... General, these black-clothed men should be the dead soldiers raised by King Rong Li Wan in captivity, and they are very fierce and fierce. ”

"Our army suffered heavy casualties." Zhou Xuchu's voice became suppressed.

The rebellion had been put down, but suddenly another group of dead soldiers appeared. Who knows if there is a stronghold in this city where the remnants of King Rong dominate the same stronghold? Who knows how much this kind of dead soldier who is not afraid of death, and how many ambushes Li Wan hid and ambushed?

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Zhou Changshi, are these dead soldiers dead?" Has anyone escaped? Give me a word of certainty, don't be vague! ”

Zhou Xu's heart froze, and he hesitated a little before answering, "General, the lower officials are really not sure that all the people in black have been ambushed. But according to Yu Linwei's report at the scene, all the black-clothed people who rushed out fought desperately with Yu Linwei, and all of them died, a total of 31 people, and the corpses were all there. ”

Zhou Xuchu pointed to the other side of the house.

"After the war, Yu Lin Wei searched inside, but there was no trace of anyone."

"The matter is urgent, and I ask the general to forgive the subordinate for arrogance of making decisions without authorization. Xia Guan has already ordered Yu Linwei to close all the city gates and search all over the city, striving not to let go of any dead end, in case there are still remnants of King Rong's traitorous party remaining in the city. Zhou Xuchu bowed his hand respectfully and pleaded guilty.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "It's a good job, it should be so No, pass on the official's order, and order the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to cooperate with Yulinwei to search the whole city...... The official will enter the palace to meet His Majesty in a moment and report the matter. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan walked towards the house.

Xiao Shisanlang and Zhou Xuchu hurriedly took many Yulin guards to escort in, although Yulinwei had checked several times, there was no one in the house. But in case another dead soldier emerges from which corner, who will finish General Zhang's safety? If Zhang Xuan had an accident, they would no longer be alive, and they would obediently wait to be executed by the emperor.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly walked around the house, went straight into the back houseβˆ‘ opened the door of the main room, Zhang Xuan's nostrils twitched slightly, and a strong aroma came to his nose.

The rooms are beautifully decorated and can be magnificent. Spread out on the red carpet, the arrangements inside were not ordinary∨ Xuan stared at the rosewood bed and the antique jade placed on the skeleton, and a deep suspicion appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He walked over slowly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a silk robe left on the bed, and the residual warmth was still left when he reached out and grabbed it.

Zhang Xuan grabbed it and trembled, and a stronger incense came out.

And a delicate jade pendant slid down on the bed with a pop.

Zhang Xuan threw away the lost robe, pinched the jade pendant and glanced at it, and saw that it was carved with dragon patterns, and his face couldn't help but change suddenly.

Zhou Xuchu and Xiao Shisanlang stood behind him, wandering a little, not knowing what clues Zhang Xuan found.

"Go, get out."

Zhang Xuan stood there pinching the jade pendant and groaned for a long time, his expression changed for a long time, and then he turned around and walked out of the room.

Zhou Xuchu and Xiao Shisanlang were inexplicable, so they had to follow out silently.

Standing under the backyard wall, Zhang Xuan stared at the wall and glanced back at Xiao Shisanlang.

Xiao Shisanlang let out a sigh of relief, he could already see that there were traces of someone climbing here. Seeing that this trace is so deep, it shouldn't be the dead soldiers from before.

Xiao Shisanlang straightened his body, went up to the wall, stared around for a long time, turned back and whispered to Zhang Xuan, "General, there is only one alley outside the wall, the left side is close to the city wall, and the right side seems to be a Taoist temple. ”

"Fetch the ladder." Zhou Xuchu hurriedly told the Yulin guards.

After Yu Linwei took the ladder, Zhang Xuan lightly climbed the courtyard wall with the help of the ladder, looked at the surrounding environment, and finally fell on the deep and dead silence of the wide avenue.

Zhang Xuan lowered his voice and waved his hand, "Zhou Changshi, quickly send someone to investigate, what is that Taoist temple?!" ”

……

……

"Back to the general, that Taoist temple is...... It is the Yongmu view of Her Royal Highness Princess Yongmu. After the soldier reported, Zhou Xuchu personally returned to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan stood at a place about 100 meters away from Yongmu Temple, staring at the lifeless Taoist temple not far away, his eyes flashing with a complex brilliance that Zhou Xuchu and Xiao Shisanlang couldn't solve.

Yongmu Guan ...... Although Zhang Xuan has never seen Princess Yongmu, he also knows that she is Li Longji's eldest daughter, mother Liu Jieyu. Kaiyuan ten years to marry Wang Xuan, Tianbao seven years, after Wang Xuan's death, Yongmu lost his hair, and the original family house was rebuilt into a Taoist temple. Cultivating oneself in it every day, never interacting with the outside world.

However, although she is a monk, the identity of the eldest princess is still there. The emperor could occasionally think of this elderly daughter, and from time to time he sent people out of the palace to reward Yongmu with some money.

Zhang Xuan slowly lowered his head, opened his hand, and stared at the dragon-patterned jade pendant in his palm.

"Zhou Changshi, fifty-eight of Li Wan's children are all dead, right?" Zhang Xuan suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Xuchu.

This sentence is very strange and abrupt.

Zhou Xuchu was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully, "Yes, general." Li Wan personally killed most of them, and the survivors were all given to death by His Majesty, and the corpses were all examined by the internal supervisor and Yousi, and there was no shortage of them. ”

"What about Li Wan himself? Where is Li Wan's body now? ”

Zhou Xuchu's heart jumped suddenly, and he said in a low voice, "According to His Majesty's will, he was buried outside the city." ”

Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the sky, looked at the sky, and suddenly waved his hand and said coldly, "Zhou Changshi, pass on my military orders, close the gates of the city, and immediately transfer three thousand feathers to outflank this Yongmuguan, prohibit anyone from making payments and expenditures, and those who disobey the military order will be killed!" ”

Zhou Xuchu was startled, and said, "General, this ......"

In his heart, although this Princess Yongmu is a monk, she is still the emperor's biological daughter after all, Her Royal Highness ♀ the eldest princess, who is quite prestigious in the royal family, does not ask about the innocent, and wants to outflank Yongmu Guan, how can this Yongmu give up?

This Princess Yongmu is not comparable to Princess Taihua, who has a weak personality and has no status in the emperor's heart. The emperor has always treated this eldest daughter leniently, and once the emperor learned that this general Yulinwei had transferred troops to besiege Yongmuguan without authorization, he was afraid that he would also be furious.

In Zhou Xuchu's opinion, even if Zhang Xuan suspected that the remnants of King Rong had fled into Yongmuguan, he needed to report to the emperor first, and only after obtaining the emperor's consent and approval could he send troops to search.

"Zhou Changshi, I didn't hear my words clearly?" Zhang Xuan smiled coldly.

Zhou Xu was awe-inspiring, didn't dare to do anything more, bowed down, and then quickly turned around to give the order to transfer troops.

Half an hour later, when the sun was shining on the gate tower of Chang'an City in the west, three thousand Lin Wei rushed to outflank Yongmuguan. But it was only outflanking, and without Zhang Xuan's order, Yu Linwei did not dare to trespass into Yongmuguan without permission.

In fact, Zhang Xuan's move also has a bit of a taste of taking risks and gambling.

His heart has been echoing with a shocking prediction and judgment, and even he himself can't believe it or be sure.

The incense in that room, including the incense on the silk undergarment, was not an ordinary spice, but a treasure of Persian tribute. In addition to the emperor and imperial concubines, that is, the children of the emperor are eligible to use.

Zhang Xuan is too familiar with this fragrance, whether it is Yang Yuhuan, or Sheng Wang Li Qi, Princess Xianyi, these people are all wearing this kind of incense. And more importantly, the dragon pattern jade pendant, if Zhang Xuan didn't guess wrong, this should be the personal jade pendant of Rongwang Li Wan.

This jade pendant and all kinds of signs made Zhang Xuan have a bold idea in his heart: Li Wan is not dead, Li Wan must still be alive

Why Li Wan didn't die, he couldn't think clearly, and there was not much strong and defensible evidence for the time being; But the sixth sense of the Traveler reminds him that if he doesn't make a decision, he may be laying a huge curse for himself in the future.

Zhang Xuan didn't want to take this risk, and he wouldn't take it.

Even if Princess Yongmu is blamed for this, he will not hesitate.

"General, the horses are in place, and the Yongmu Guan Tuan has been surrounded, and I ask the general to give the order to stop." Yulin Weilang turned over Gu Xi and dismounted, and bowed down in front of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "General Gu Lang, you and Zhou Changshi led the army to surround Yongmu Guan for me, forbidding anyone to collect and disburse, anyone who disrespects military orders will be killed!" ”

"Wait for the official to enter the palace and come back."

"Huh," Gu Xi said loudly.

Zhang Xuan turned over and glanced back at Xiao Shisanlang. Xiao Shisanlang smiled knowingly and bowed his head silently.

……

……

Drive! drive

Under the escort of dozens of Yulin guards, Zhang Xuan rode towards the imperial city.

At this time, Chang'an City was already in chaos, and the merchants closed their doors, and the people were panicked, and they didn't know what was going on.

The city gate was closed, and thousands of forest guards suddenly moved in the city, this is not news, it has already shocked the whole city.

Inside the Yongmu Temple, the main hall.

Daogu Yongmu, who was in her forties, stared at her younger brother Li Wan, who was sitting silently in front of her, with a complicated expression, her eyes flickering.

She didn't expect Zhang Xuan to find Li Wan's traces so quickly, and even sent heavy troops to outflank her Yongmu Guan Tuan, ignoring her dignity as the eldest princess of Emperor Xuanzong; But what she didn't expect was that Li Wan was unusually calm and silent about this.

Li Wan is still alive, and Yongmu certainly knows. Otherwise, Li Wan would not have fled into the Yongmu Temple at the first time.

"Sixth brother......" Yongmu's helpless and sad voice sounded, and Li Wan slowly raised his head to look at her, but his face was blank
