Chapter 39: Re-entering Chang'an City

Chapter 39 Re-enter Chang'an City

The ox cart was placed at the post station, and a carriage was changed to run to Chang'an City overnight, more than 100 kilometers away, and when it arrived at the Chunming Gate of Chang'an City, the sun had climbed halfway up the mountainside.

After paying the usual copper money, Li Shen had some flesh pain, it was really unusual.

After waiting in line for an hour, he finally stepped into the city gate, Li Shen looked at the nobles coming and going at the city gate in the middle, driving a carriage and riding a horse back and forth at a high speed, and snorted secretly.

Handing over the wooden sign to prove their identity, the two walked into Chang'an City, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, brightly dressed, Li Shen involuntarily raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace, and exhaled deeply, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

"Li Shen, where are you going?" Pang Zhong lowered his head and said uncomfortably, looking at others wearing luxurious silk clothes, he felt a little inferior.

"Bell Bell Bell ~~~"

A slow carriage approached, and the groom on it had a hammer in his hand and beat a brass drum hanging aside.

Li Shen stretched out his hand and beckoned.

"Guest, where are you going?" The groom asked as he stopped the carriage.

"Drunken Immortal Residence." Li Shen boarded the carriage and said lightly, and said to Pang Zhong, who was still in place: "Come up!" There's still a long way to go. ”

"Oh~~~"

"Guest officer, please inside, stay or sharpen?" Xiao Er, who got out of the carriage and got out of the drunken immortal residence, ran over with a towel on his shoulder, and asked with a smile on his face.

"The family went to the room, sent some wine and food, and then sent some paper and pens." Li Shen said lightly.

"Okay." Xiao Er said loudly, turned around and shouted loudly into the room: "One room in the upper room, some wine and food, pen, ink and paper." He said to Li Shen: "Two guest officers, please come with the little one." ”

After studying the ink, Li Shen picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, leveled the paper, looked at the brush in his hand, and was a little speechless, what should I do? He can't write with a brush! And it has to be written in traditional Chinese.

"Come and meet at the Drunken Immortal Residence. Li Shen. ”

Li Shen folded the written paper in the envelope, sealed it with paste, took out a piece of silver and put it together and handed it to Pang Zhong, and said: "It is inconvenient for me to appear in front of people in Chang'an City, send this to the eldest grandson's mansion, remember to see it in person and hand it over to the eldest princess Li Lizhi or the concubine Changsun Chong, pay attention." ”

Pang Zhong nodded, put the letter in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I promise to invite people." ”

Pushing open the window and looking at the palace city wall in the distance, Li Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head, turned around, or turned here, this is how fate makes people.

He knew that no matter where he hid, it would be of no use, because the blood flowing in his body could never be separated from the royal family, and he could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide for a lifetime, and sooner or later he would be exposed.

When His Majesty Li Er is here, his appearance may be able to save his life, but once he dies, even if according to the original history, Li Zhi can successfully ascend the throne, it is estimated that it will be difficult to tolerate him.

People make mistakes, even if Li Zhi is kind-hearted, but he also treats people, there will be deviations, and when the time comes, it is estimated that others will be the first to think of him, and he is powerless, what can he do then? It's not at the mercy of others yet.

The carriage stopped at the eldest grandson's mansion, Pang Zhong got out of the carriage, looked at the solemn gate in front of him, and the eight guards at the gate who were wearing black armor, surrounded by sharp blades, and full of evil spirits, swallowed slightly, his legs trembled a little, and he didn't even have the courage to step forward.

Pang Zhong clasped his hands tightly, reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, lowered his head, and walked over.

"Stop, this is the Mansion of the State of Qi, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to approach."

With an angry reprimand, Pang Zhong was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, raised his head to look at the guards on the left and right, and saluted: "The villain has seen the official, but the villain wants to find Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I don't know if I can inform it on my behalf." ”

"Poof." Two people laughed.

"Just people like you who want to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? Get away, or be careful of the ruthlessness of the master's knife. One of the guards said with a grimace.

Pang Zhong took out the ten taels of silver given by Li Shen from his hand, and he also considered it along the way, it was not so easy to ask to see the eldest princess, and if he sent the silver, they would definitely ask him who he was, and the only way was to pretend, pretend to know Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so that they would be a little jealous of him, so that they might be able to meet each other.

"Trouble a few officials to interpret it on their behalf, just say that the old man came to visit, and he must ask the eldest princess to come out to see him."

The guard looked at the ten taels of silver handed over, put it in his hand and weighed it, looked at Pang Zhong and said, "Who are you?" ”

"A few officials, there is nothing to tell about the villain."

The guards looked Pang Zhong up and down and said, "Do you think the eldest princess is so good-looking?" Don't say who you are, how do you let the master say. ”

"A few officials, please tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, just say that when the old people meet, she will definitely come out." Pang Zhong insisted, saying the name, how does Her Royal Highness the eldest princess know who he is, and he will definitely not meet at that time, after thinking about it for a while, he doesn't know Li Shen's name, does Her Royal Highness the eldest princess know it, do you want to give it a try? Glancing at them a few times, what if it doesn't work? Forget it, let's give it a try, anyway, Li Shen's whereabouts are exposed now, and it's okay to expose more, and then said: "Just say that his old friend Li Shen asked to see." ”

"Li Shen? Your name is Li Shen? ”

"The villain is not, and the villain also brings someone else to send a message." Pang Zhong shook his head and said.

The guards glanced at each other.

One of them said: "Go and spread it, if you don't get it well, it's really an old friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Okay, I'll go then."

In a room in a separate courtyard of King Qi's mansion, Li Lizhi held the young third son and eldest grandson in her arms, sandwiched the dishes on the table, and carefully fed him.

Sitting next to her, Changsun Chong looked at her who had been a lot haggard for so long, his eyes were full of worry, and he put a chopstick dish into her bowl and said, "Liqin, don't patronize the child, you also eat more." ”

Li Lizhi raised her head and looked at Changsun Chong with a smile on her face, nodded, and said, "Brother Chong, you can also eat more." ”

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, young master, there is someone outside who says that it is the old man of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, do you want to let him in?" A maid walked in, bowed and asked.

"The deceased? Who is he? Li Li asked.

"The guard said that he was also leading people to deliver the message, and said that the person who delivered the message on his behalf was named Li Shen." The maid replied.

"Jingle Bell."

The chopsticks in Li Lizhen's hand fell to the ground, turned her head in disbelief, looked at the eldest grandson Chong, pointed at the maid excitedly, and said, "Brother Chong, what did she say?" ”

The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, "You all go down." Then he said, "Eliu, let the person outside the door come in." ”
