Li Shentong's rear army was tens of thousands of people, but we only had four people, and we were naturally much faster than them.

Outside Luoyang City, many people fled, and a large amount of fertile land was abandoned due to frequent wars. I looked at the desolate scenery, and somehow I felt only pain in my heart, these disputes have nothing to do with the ordinary people who are crawling on the ground, but these unjustified disasters must be borne by them.

Zimin walked side by side with me, and couldn't help sighing when he saw this scene, and said while moving forward: "Big brother, I have something to understand, except for Luoyang, the rest of the counties in Henan County have been attached, Zhang Gongjin and Xiao Mo have not attacked Luoyang, why has it been a long time, Xuanba...... But he doesn't implement the policy of reassuring the people? When my father took Chang'an, it was only a year and a half of work, and the people around Chang'an were stable, and they were by no means as cold and depressed as today. ”

Her words hit my heart, and most of the time ago, in order to defeat Liu Heimin, when I went to Hebei with the army, Henan County had been pacified, why is it that people are still fleeing one after another? Knowing that Xuanba is not a person who is inconsiderate of the people's livelihood, I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't figure it out.

Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er rode on horseback, but they were silent.

On the evening of this day, we stopped at Li Shentong's former army camp to rest, originally divided into camps and rested, but tomorrow I don't know whether we are alive or dead, how can we still be in the mood to sleep, so not long after we settled down, Zimin and I were looking at the defense map of Luoyang under the candlelight, and Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er also walked in.

Knowing that we didn't stop, Ding Yu'er took out something from his arms and unfolded it in front of the table in front of me and Zimin, which was the layout of the Zuihong Teahouse.

Only then did I remember that Ding Yuer was the owner of the Drunken Hongjian Teahouse, but this person chose to be drunk, and it seemed that he was very bold.

Ding Yu'er waited for us to look at it for a long time before he spoke: "I don't know if the Zuihong Teahouse is still the same as before after several wars, this is the previous artwork." ”

I looked at the layout plan, it is indeed old, the same as the teahouse in Daxing City, in the piano room on the second floor, there is a staircase pressed under the piano case, I pointed to the staircase and said: "Boss Ding, I think there will probably be no road down here, I don't know where it leads after reaching the ground?" ”

Ding Yu'er smiled and waved his hand: "There is no underground palace, but there are tunnels." I was very curious about Yang Guangxin's Xianren Palace, so I asked someone to build a road underneath this place to lead directly to Shanglin Yuan next to Xianren Palace. Don't say it, then Yang Guang will indeed enjoy it, the scenery of Shanglin Garden is infinite, especially in summer, the lake is full of lotus flowers, which is very beautiful. ”

I heard Ding Yu'er say this, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Boss Ding to be interested in this." ”

Ding Yu'er said: "I'm not very interested, I just love to play when I'm young." But as it happened, this secret passage was ...... by Li Xuanba, who was still a child back then It is now His Majesty who has found out. ”

Zi Min heard this: "This ...... Oh, I know, Xuanba once followed Zen Master Yancong to practice Buddhism in the meditation room next to Shanglin Garden, and he must have discovered it at that time. ”

Ding Yu'er smiled: "Well, that's good. ”

After talking for a while, Cao Fu said: "I just don't know who the person who asked you is or, otherwise we will take him and have one more bargaining chip." ”

I shook my head, this person, except for Li Shimin, is the eldest grandson Wuji, or or, Yuwen Zhiji. But Yu Wenzhi was chased by his brother, he was by no means Yu Wenji's opponent, and the subsequent situation was not clear. Lu Yanqing said that he was deceived by the eldest grandson Wuji, is it really the eldest grandson Wuji? Even if he doesn't care about this, since that person knows me well, he must know that there are high-ranking people around me to help him, he is only afraid that he has already taken precautions, even if Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er are extraordinary, they may not be able to take him.

Seeing that I was silent, Zi Min knew that the situation was not as simple as Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er thought, and smiled lightly: "Boss Cao, of course, you know that with your own skills, few people in the world can help you." But have you ever wondered what if hundreds of thousands of people come to besiege it? Or, Boss Cao walks the rivers and lakes, and has always been honest with people in business, how can you expect that people's hearts are sinister and you can't guard against it? ”

Sinister hearts? Somehow, when I heard this, something suddenly flashed through my mind, and I knew it was important but couldn't grasp it. I frowned and pondered, recalling all the things I had done since I went to Luoyang last time, and suddenly remembered what Sanniang and Chai Shao had said to me.

I took Zimin's hand and wanted to ask for some comfort, but Zimin noticed my abnormality, turned his head to look at me, and asked softly, "Big brother, why are your hands so cold?" ”

As she spoke, she grabbed me with her backhand and said, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

She asked a few questions in a row, but I didn't answer them, still thinking about the previous question, why is all this? In contemplation, I only felt that my hand was pulled suddenly, and when I looked up again, Zi Min looked concerned, and Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er were also looking at me.

I knew that I had lost my temper, so I reluctantly smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to meet the enemy tomorrow and lose my mind for a while." After I said this, Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er both smiled, but Zimin did not, she still looked at me worriedly, but she didn't ask any more questions.

In the blink of an eye, most of the time has passed, Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er know that tomorrow is dangerous, and the two of them finally showed their hearts to each other, in fact, they are more reluctant than me and Zimin, I saw that they were speechless, and said with a smile: "The two of you will go to rest first, and you will enter the city early tomorrow morning to recuperate your spirit." ”

When Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er heard this, they got up hand in hand, said goodbye and left.

Zimin and I faced half of the broken candle until we couldn't hear their footsteps, and then Zimin asked: "Big brother has other worries, and it is inconvenient for Boss Cao and Sister Yu'er to say it in front of him, and now there are only the two of us left, maybe now?" ”

Thinking of tomorrow's events, I didn't want to hide it from her anymore, but I suddenly felt a little unbearable, and said with a smile: "I'm just thinking, what I promised you before, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do." ”

Zi Min was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Could it be ......" She was halfway through her words, and I nodded.

Although the meaning of the words is self-evident, I did not plan to do so at first, if I were really in danger at that time, I still have the bargaining chips in my hands, and I can negotiate with him for a while, but now that the situation has changed, I don't know what to do.

After a while, Zimin was leaning on the table, holding his head, almost falling asleep, when a gust of wind sounded outside the tent.

My heart moved, in this hot summer, there is no wind outside, where is the sound of the wind. As soon as I stood up, Zimin opened his eyes and said, "Where is the eldest brother going?" ”

"There's someone outside the tent, I'll take a look." I said I'm leaving.

Zimin also got up and stopped in front of me and said, "I'll go with my eldest brother." "But it's not asking.
