Chapter Twenty-Three: The Whole City Is Locked Down

"Buckle"

Changsun Chong stood in front of the gate of the small courtyard, knocking constantly, with an ominous feeling in his heart, and said to the guards beside him, "Find a ladder to come over." ”

"Young master, it's not good, Libo was killed."

The "squeak" door was opened.

Changsun Chong watched Libo fall to the ground, there was a pool of blood flowing on the ground, his eyes were a little red and swollen, and he didn't care about him, and quickly ran towards the house.

"Quick... Hurry up and find it. ”

The courtyard is not big, there are only two entrances and exits, and the search was soon completed, and the quilt where Li Shen was lying still has a trace of residual heat, which also shows that there is not much time for the talent to be robbed just now.

The eldest grandson Chong stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, how is this good, how should he explain to his father when the time comes, how could anyone find out Li Shen's whereabouts?

Hurriedly said to the guards beside him: "Hurry up and find General Cheng of the Left Guard, and ask him to bring in and immediately block the exit of the entire Chang'an City, hurry up." ”

"No"

A carriage was driving rapidly on the Suzaku Street in Chang'an City, and the groom driving the carriage looked like a loyal middle-aged man, if you looked through his eyes, you could see that there was a sharp gaze in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to have.

Looking at the wolf smoke burning in the city, he secretly said that it was not good, pulled the reins tightly, made a "whooshing" sound, turned the horse's head, and waved the horsewhip and hurried towards the west market.

The blockade of the major gates of Chang'an City is a very big thing, that is, in those days of the Xuanwu Gate Change, it was the first time in the past ten years.

Cheng Yanjin was wearing bright silver armor, and hurried towards the palace, although the order was issued, no matter how it was said, it would also give Changsun Chong's face, and he couldn't come to play him casually, something must have happened, and he didn't rush to ask His Majesty Bingming, so he came to beg him, and now only he has the right and qualification to block the large and small exits of Chang'an City.

Outside the Xuanzheng Palace, His Majesty Li Er looked at the wolf smoke burning in the city, frowned slightly, and whispered a few orders to Yang Gonggong beside him, looking at Chang'an City in the dark night.

"Drive, drive."

"Woohoo..."

Cheng Yanjin quickly jumped off the horse, looked at His Majesty Li Er at a high place, ran quickly to the steps, and ran towards him.

Cheng Biting Jin knelt on one knee and said, "Old Cheng sees Your Majesty." ”

"Cheng Qing, why do you want to light wolf smoke for no reason?" His Majesty Li Er asked lightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, this minister doesn't know, the eldest son of the horse Sun Chong asked people to send a message, saying that something big happened, let the minister block it first, and say that he would make it clear to His Majesty immediately."

The sound of "crunching" came from not far away.

The two looked over, after all, it was in the palace, unless the emperor gave permission, or there was an urgent matter, otherwise riding a horse and driving a carriage were not allowed.

The eldest grandson Chong lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and stretched out his hand to help Li Lizhen down, now he didn't know how to deal with Li Shen's disappearance, it was a little unlikely, no one found Li Shen's traces, how could he disappear well?

And he wouldn't believe that Li Shen would kill Libo, there was no need for that at all, and when it was night, he could completely slip away, and besides, he wasn't the kind of person who casually mutilate a human life.

"Erchen, son, I have seen my father."

The two nodded to Cheng Yanjin, who was standing on the side.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Lizhen and asked coldly, "What happened?" In fact, he probably knew what the situation was, but he didn't know whether it was Li Chengqian or not.

"Father, the eldest brother is missing." Li Lizhi lowered her head and said with a face full of grievances, what does all this have to do with her, she has never been blackened by her father, but she didn't expect to meet twice today.

Cheng Yanjin was stunned, looked at Li Lizhen in disbelief, turned his face to look at His Majesty Li Er, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" What does it mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing? "It's really strange, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a stinger? Could it be that the body was stolen?

His Majesty Li Er ignored Cheng Biting Jin, stared at Li Lizhen with cold eyes, and scolded angrily: "Lizhen, my father thinks that I am not thin with you, and this is how you repay your father?" And that rebel deceived me by hiding from the world? ”

Li Lizhi cried out of her voice, choked up: "Erchen didn't, Erchen also went back to Chang'an City today to meet the eldest brother in the restaurant, and he also concealed that Erchen pretended not to know Erchen, and finally was recognized by Erchen, so he admitted it." Who knew that he had committed such a big thing, and the retainers did not want to see him...... I want to find out what you will do with my eldest brother if he is not dead. ”

"Erchen watched his father's anger before, and was worried that his father would do something irrational, so he asked Brother Chong to go to the small courtyard to transfer the eldest brother, so that after the father's anger disappeared, let the eldest brother come over to ask for guilt, who knew that Libo was killed in the small courtyard, and the eldest brother was missing."

The eldest grandson Chong stretched out his hand and patted Li Lizhen's back, saluted His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Father, what Lizhen said is true, and the two of us only met the eldest brother at noon,...... If your father doesn't believe it, you can go to the restaurant and ask. ”

His Majesty Li Er frowned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and didn't expect that this rebel would still have a party to help him escape, and I really underestimated him, and said, "You guys go down." ”

Li Lizhi wiped the tears on her cheeks and admonished: "Father, I hope you can find the eldest brother quickly, Erchen feels that someone has robbed the eldest brother this time, although the eldest brother's personality has changed over the years, it will not hurt the old man Libo." ”

Watching Li Lizhi and the others board the carriage and walk away, His Majesty Li Er said to Cheng Yanjin beside him: "Find, search all over Chang'an City, dig three feet into the ground and find out this rebel." ”

"No."

The carriage stopped at the entrance of a small mud courtyard, and the middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and knocked on the wooden fence gate.

"Who?" A lamp was lit in the room, and a faint light came through the crack in the door, and when the door was opened, a young woman with a somewhat sallow face came out with a lantern.

"Sister-in-law, it's me."

"Uncle Steroid, why are you here now?"

Uncle Nephew lifted the curtain, hugged Li Shen, who was lying in a coma, and walked into the open courtyard, and whispered to the sister-in-law beside him: "I'll talk about it when I go in." ”

Uncle Nephew put Li Shen on the bed, reached out and touched the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Go find a set of shabby clothes." ”

The sister-in-law nodded, glanced at Li Shen, and looked at Uncle Steroid with some doubts, what the hell is this going on?
