Wei Zheng is far away in Chang'an, even if there is a Du kill escort, the way to Jinyang must be quite difficult, and it will not be possible to arrive at all for a while, I discussed it with Zhang Wensu, and decided to let Zhang Wensu temporarily stay in Jinyang to help Li Yuanji take care of Shanxi affairs, and I and Zimin immediately returned to the south and returned to Luoyang first.

Zhang Wensu naturally agreed, but before leaving, he reminded us to try to keep a low profile, not to be recognized, and to prevent someone from following us.

While I agreed, I also felt that he seemed to have something to say, but it was not easy for us to avoid the eyes and ears of others.

Because the situation in Luoyang was unknown, Zimin and I were very anxious, borrowed two fast horses from Dubi, walked on the path, and rushed to Luoyang day and night.

In Hedong County, Zhang Gongjin had already retreated, and it was his uncle Li Shentong who was sitting in Hedong, and he must have known about the variables in Luoyang.

Therefore, although there was no persecution from Xiao Yu in Hedong County, the precautions were still very strict, and the city gate was closed just after the hour, and the scale of the army patrolling the night was very large.

When we arrived at Hedong County, it was getting late, and after nightfall, it took a lot of trouble to finally bypass the gatekeeper and enter the city.

After half the night, Zimin and I arrived at Anyi, the seat of Hedong County.

The strange thing is that Anyi at night is still brightly lit, and countless torches patrolling the city illuminate the county seat of Anyi as if it were day.

We hid in the dark and watched for a while, and Zimin whispered in my ear, "It seems that my uncle has taken precautions." ”

I nodded, "In this case, he must not be able to sleep, so we will go straight to him." ”

In the Anyi Governance Office, there is a post in five steps and a post in ten steps.

I used to be the governor of Hedong County, and I knew the governance of Anyi very well, so I and Zi Min Fei swept up the eaves, watched for a while, and quietly sneaked into the inner courtyard during the change of guard.

There is a main hall in the inner courtyard, which was originally a place for guests, but there are soldiers on both sides, waiting for the battle, as if facing a great enemy.

However, the courtyard was quiet, nothing happened, and the only uninvited guests were me and Zimin.

Li Shentong was not in the hall, Zimin was about to ask, but suddenly stopped, made a lip gesture at me and said, "Someone is coming." ”

Before I could even notice it, I saw a dark figure on the roof of a house in the distance, and indeed jumped up and jumped onto the eaves of another house, and it seemed that the target was also here. From a distance, this person is very good, and he is not under me and Zimin.

Zi Min whispered: "Big brother, do you know where your uncle is?" ”

I nodded, pointed with my hand, and said, "If what I expected is correct, it should be in the side hall, and I will use it as a study." ”

We turned the eaves, and in the window of the side hall, there was indeed a figure reflected, pacing back and forth, as if he was still looking at something in his hand.

After observing for a moment, I said, "That man must have come to find my uncle as well." ”

At this time, I already understood a little bit that Luoyang was temporarily preserved, probably because there were people like Li Shentong leading the troops outside, and if such a person was in a peaceful world, he would definitely be suspicious of the king.

But now that the world is in turmoil, no matter whether Li Shentong is selfish or not, he has an army of 100,000 under his command, and he uses soldiers like a god, once he sends troops to Luoyang, no matter who Li Youliang in Luoyang is at the mercy of, he is powerless to resist.

This person who infiltrated late at night must have been sent by someone to harm Li Shentong.

But to Zimin's surprise, the man flew around on the eaves, landed on the eaves in the south corner, stared at the side hall where Li Shentong was for a moment, and then turned to leave.

Zi Min said: "Although this person is good at light skills, he seems to have a trace of fear in the face of such a formation in the courtyard. ”

I was also a little puzzled, looked at the side hall and was unguarded, glanced at Zimin, and jumped off the eaves hand in hand.

Before I came to the study, I only took a step, and I felt a little strange around me, and before I had time to think about it, I heard a series of "whooshing" sounds.

I was stunned, and I had already pulled Zimin in front of me, took out the soft sword, and blocked the flying arrows.

Immediately after another rain of arrows, Zimin and I stood against each other, guarding the square inch in front of us, and the rain of arrows did not hurt us.

At this time, Li Shentong's voice came from the study, and he said leisurely: "I have already told you that I will set up an ambush here, waiting for you to come, you dare to throw yourself into the net, it seems that the courage of young people is really amazing!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers came up behind us and surrounded me and Zimin.

Li Shentong opened the door of the study, and there were two people standing in front of him, who were stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look at the light of the torch in the soldier's hand for a moment, and suddenly threw a book in his hand aside, strode up to me and said, "You...... You ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zi Min curtsied his knees and said, "Uncle, I came late at night, disturbed my uncle, and I ask you to forgive me, it's just a big deal......"

Li Shentong didn't wait for Zimin to finish speaking, and said, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house!" While letting me and Zimin into the study, he said to the people behind him: "Continue to strengthen your vigilance!" The soldiers took the order and left.

When he arrived at the study, Li Shen said: "Why did you come here?" I heard that you didn't say goodbye in Chang'an and went to seclusion in the world. ”

Zi Min Waner smiled and said, "It can be seen that the rumors are not true. ”

I glanced at Zimin, and then said: "Actually, we went to the Turks, and the people of Chang'an are too talkative, and the big things are undecided, so we dare not make a noise. ”

Li Shentong nodded, and his expression suddenly turned grim and said, "Luoyang...... was built, and there was a big mess in Luoyang. ”

I said: "I heard about this in Jinyang, and I came here for this today, but what is going on in Luoyang, but I don't know very well, can my uncle know?" ”

Li Shendao: "A few days ago, for some reason, rumors spread in Luoyang City, saying that Xuanba had already died, and now this is pretending, and some ministers in the court are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, especially ...... Later, during a court meeting, a group of people from nowhere surrounded the Xianren Hall and controlled all the ministers in the court at that time. ”

I frowned and said, "What about the forbidden army?" ”

Li Shentong shook his head and said, "What's the use of the forbidden army? The forbidden army in the Xianren Palace was all killed, and those people seemed to be people in the rivers and lakes, all of them were not weak, and the forbidden army was not an opponent at all. ”

Zi Min was surprised: "But the forbidden army has two thousand people......

Li Shentong sighed heavily and interrupted her, "It doesn't work." He said and pointed to the door of the study, "There are a total of 500 people in my office, and if it weren't for the siege, with the strength of the two of you, they wouldn't be opponents." ”

I nodded silently, and my mind flashed, and I already thought of what happened at the back door of the Chang'an silk shop.

Li Shentong saw that I was silent, and continued: "They threatened everyone in Luoyang City, so I stopped here, and ...... Even if I lay a net here, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop their claws. ”
