Of course, his attitude in front of me was natural and unassuming, which made me even more unhappy.

It seems that he did not know about the plot to poison his brother and sister-in-law on Henan Road, and he never had the intention of killing his eldest brother in front of his mother's grave on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In fact, there is no need for Li Shimin to follow, it is impossible for him to make up for the bad impression caused by his bold words in front of his father before.

Not only my father and me, but even Pei Lian, who was standing on the side, also looked sideways at him for not caring about the life and death of everyone in the Tang State Mansion at all, and even Liu Wenjing shook his head imperceptibly.

When passing through Wuyang County, heavy rain blocked the road, and Li Shimin and I waited for me at the county administration office and found an inn in Guixiang County, planning to wait for the rain to be lighter before going back.

Although Wuyang County is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, in fact, before I came back, my father had already said that the treasure of Chengyuan in Wuyang County had already secretly taken refuge in Li Mi, intending to form an encirclement of Luoyang in the Hedong area.

Li Shimin fidgeted at the heavy rain curtain outside the door in the inn, and I looked at the rain curtain outside, but I thought of the small hotel on Henan Road.

It's the same heavy rain blocking the road, and it's the same small inn, but it's already hiding a killing motive when it's unconscious.

The lesson of that time taught me that I need to be careful when I go out, no matter what time I go, not to mention that now that Li Shimin is around, I can't predict what he will do to me.

Wine and food had already been placed on the table in front of me, but I didn't have the heart to eat when I looked at Li Shimin's figure.

He turned his head again and asked, "Big brother, when is this rain going to be?" "It's like I'm afraid I'm missing something.

I shook my head lightly and said, "Shimin, don't be impatient, this rain will stop." "Comfort him, said it very lightly, in fact, I am more anxious than him, I know that my father is waiting for us in Jinyang.

Before leaving, he said that I would not be able to reach Jinyang for a day, and he would not be able to serve for a day.

Li Shimin walked across from me, sat down on the couch, raised a glass of wine and drank it.

He put the wine glass on the table and said, "Big brother, why don't we go to meet the Yuan Treasure?" I heard that he has taken refuge in Li Mi, and now that the Wagang Army has Li Mi, his momentum is even stronger, maybe it will pose a threat to us in the future, big brother ......"

I waved my hand and said, "Shimin, don't forget the purpose of our trip. The safety of everyone in the family is important, if the whereabouts are revealed because of these things, I am afraid that there will be complications on the way back to Jinyang. ”

Li Shimin thought about it, didn't speak, just ate a little food indiscriminately, and went back to the room.

The army is about to start, if Li Shimin is smart enough, he should not specifically target me, the eldest brother, after all, the foreign enemy is close at hand, and if he alarms others, it may not be a good thing for him.

The rain outside the window had been raining for nearly a night, and I didn't know why, I listened to the sound of the rain all night, but I couldn't sleep, but nothing happened one night.

I barely fell asleep until it was almost dawn.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the faint noise of footsteps outside the door.

When I opened the door, I was stunned on the spot.

Outside the door stood a circle of men, dressed in armor and armed with spears, led by a man with a sash in his hand and the hilt of his sword at his waist with the other, and a large beard on his face.

When he saw me open the door and come out, he pointed at me and shouted, "Be bold and rebel, and don't you tie your hands?" ”

His voice was like a bell, and it really startled me.

I fixed my mind and glanced at the room where Li Shimin lived next to me, but there was no movement.

With a "brush" sound, the man drew his sword again, pointed at me, and said, "Take it for me!" ”

I took two steps back and said, "General, slow!" Saying that, he bowed, "Below is Li Jiancheng, the son of the mayor of the Tang State Mansion, who was about to return to Hedong and passed by Guixian, but somehow he was labeled as an anti-thief, and asked the general for advice!" ”

After speaking, he looked directly at him.

He said: "I am the treasure of Chengyuan in Wuyang County, someone accused Tang Guogong of intending to rebel, you are his son, naturally a thief." ”

I laughed, "Oh? Coincidentally, I heard that Wuyang Juncheng secretly responded to the Wagang anti-thieves yesterday, intending to capture Luoyang, and was about to return to Luoyang to explain the matter to the king of Yue, but I didn't expect to be bitten back here. ”

Yuan Baobao was stunned, and I stretched out my hand to him and said: "My father left Taiyuan behind, rejected the Turks in the north, and rebelled in the interior, but you framed him for rebellion?" I think the real one is you! ”

Yuan Baobao laughed when he heard this, laughed for a while, but suddenly stared at me coldly and said, "Hmph! Someone, give me ......"

"Jun Cheng, wait a minute." A gentle voice sounded behind the ingot treasure.

A man in a gray cloth robe turned out from behind the Yuan Treasure, and my heart moved when I saw it—

Isn't this person Wei Zheng who sold me a fan in the bazaar of Daxing City?

I can't say it in my heart, he is a capable minister who assists Li Shimin, isn't the current situation too unfavorable for me?

With my hand on the soft sword at my waist, I looked at the soldiers blocking the door with alarm, and then at Yuan Baobao and Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng slowly stroked his beard and smiled: "Jun Cheng is angry, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding, I wonder if you can listen to the official?" ”

Yuan Baobao saw Wei Zheng speak, his expression eased a lot, he returned the sword in his hand into the scabbard, Wei Zheng smiled: "Please borrow a step to speak." ”

I watched the two of them walk out of the crowd, and I wanted to know what Wei Zheng said to Yuan Baobao, but with so many people staring at me around me, I couldn't act rashly.

After a long while, Yuan Baobao and Wei Zheng went and returned.

Yuan Baobao gave an order, and those who were holding spears put their weapons back, and then he smiled and said, "There is a misunderstanding, please don't be surprised." ”

I was stunned for a long time, and when I looked at Wei Zheng, he was still touching his beard, smiled at me, and nodded.

Yuan Bao took a bunch of people away, and I was so frightened in the morning, I wanted to go back to my room to find out what was going on, but I turned around, but I felt that there was a person standing behind me who didn't leave.

When I turned around, it was Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng arched his hand and said, "Childe is frightened. Wei prepared some thin wine for Gongzi to be shocked, I wonder if Gongzi can move to the cold house? ”

My mind changed - Li Shimin won't conspire with him to kill me again, right? But he said, "In this case, please lead the way." ”

Wei Zheng's home can be described as a house with four walls, except for a table of wine and food that has been prepared a long time ago, there is nothing else.

He was prepared.

Seeing that I stared at the wine and food and didn't raise my chopsticks for a long time, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Childe suspects that there is a plot below?" ”

He spoke so bluntly that I didn't even know how to tell the difference, so I had to silently say that it was.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Don't doubt it, childe. Wei knew that he would meet Gongzi today, and the wine and food had indeed been prepared, and as for the plot, it was not for nothing. ”
