As Li Yu expected, the city was much safer.

On the long street, there were many fewer pedestrians than usual, but there were many more soldiers with swords on their shoulders, coming and going in a hurry, and they were all killed.

But for the Fifth Ling Ruo, who was pulling a small car and walking on the edge of the avenue with difficulty, they just glanced at it with a sharp gaze and hurried by, ignoring it at all.

In the car, there was a gray-looking person who was obviously seriously injured, and the person pulling the car was a thin half-sized young man, so that the two people had no oil and water to fish, and it was impossible to have any oil and water.

In the city, these soldiers will not be too rampant, after all, even if the crown prince Li Jiancheng recruits troops and controls the whole city at this moment, the purpose is to protect himself, not to destroy. Officers and men can still indulge themselves like bandits in the suburbs and towns, but here they have to be restrained.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, the national capital fell six times, the Son of Heaven fled nine times, and the most tragic one was the invasion of Tibet, which plundered Chang'an for three days, burning, killing and looting, and was miserable. The other times, including the chaotic army entering the city, the most destructive force is probably the Huang Chao who "killed a hundred flowers after my flowers bloomed" entered Chang'an.

Therefore, when most people fled one after another, Li Yu went the opposite way, and instead entered Chang'an to determine the way to seek stability.

The fifth Ling Ruo has a slender figure, after all, she is a daughter, with a slender skeleton, and she is still a girl who has just reached the end of her life, as soon as she wears men's clothes, she looks very thin.

She wanted to push the cart and go, but her arm strength was weak, so she had to tie the handrail with a rope, put it on her shoulder, and pull the cart forward.

Chang'an is too big, and this time to go to the Taigong only with his legs to trek, but also to pull the car, the fifth Ling Ruo is tired. Gasping and exhausted. At dusk, when they finally arrived at the East Palace, Fifth Ling Ruo struggled to pull the car to the door, his legs were sore, and he sat on the ground without a ladylike image.

"Ling Ruo, are you okay?"

Li Yu asked worriedly, the fifth Ling Ruo's ear drum was buzzing, listening to Li Yu's voice as if it was far away, she waved her hand hard, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm fine, rest...... That's it. ”

Li Yu was busy in the car and beckoned to the guards in front of the East Palace: "Come on, come on!" ”

Because of the mutiny, the guards at the gate of the East Palace changed from six to eighteen, and eighteen strong men with halberds stood in front of the door. Hearing Li Yu's call, two of the soldiers approached with halberds and said with an unkind expression: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yu said: "Take me...... Go see the Prince. ”

The soldier's face sank, and he said, "Who are you, you actually asked to see the prince?" ”

Although Li Yu was cared for most of the day, he was also exposed to the sun and his mouth was dry, and his liver was very hot.

Li Yu said viciously: "Less nonsense! If you really know where I came from, I'm afraid you won't survive! ”

Li Yu's words frightened the two halberders, and they didn't dare to attack for a while.

Li Yu pointed to his abdomen and said, "Look at me, I am seriously injured and dying, if it is not for a hundred thousand urgent things, how can I come to ask to see the prince?" If you delay a big event, you won't be able to cut off your heads! Quickly report it in, tell the prince, and say that the important matter related to his life and death is here, and I want him to meet him quickly! ”

Although Li Yu's complexion is not good, the injury is real, but to say that his breath is d......ying, listening to him, he is full of anger. When the two guards heard him say this, they really didn't dare to slack off, and as for his exaggerated injuries, they didn't bother to complain.

They looked at these two people, who were not threatening at all, and immediately looked back and greeted them, called two more people, and said hurriedly: "Quick, bring them into the palace, wait at the Yimen, if there is something important, I will go to report to the prince first." ”

The two soldiers didn't know what kind of person Li Yu was, looking at the two halberd soldiers with solemn expressions, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pushed the car, one of them wanted to help the fifth Ling Ruo, the fifth Ling Ruo, a girl who had not left the cabinet, how could he let a stinky man hit his body, and quickly got up with difficulty, and said: "Thank you, I don't need to help!" ”

She is pretending to be a teenager at the moment, before the teenager's voice change, her voice was already thinner, and she deliberately lowered her voice, and it was difficult for the person to tell whether she was a man or a woman when she heard the voice. As for the appearance, although the eyebrows are delicate, but at the moment, the face is red and red, the sweat is one by one, and the beauty charm is not much.

The two were taken into the East Palace, and they were waiting outside the Yimen, and a sergeant hurriedly went in to report.

In the past two days, Li Jiancheng was like an ant on a hot pot, while sending people to inquire about the news of Tongchuan Renzhi Palace, on the one hand, he sent people to contact Yang Wengan to inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, he sent troops to collect grain and grass and recruit soldiers, and on the other hand, he discussed things with the staff of the East Palace every day, which was really anxious.

After a day of discussion today, there is still no result Some people suggested to explain the situation to the emperor, and some people suggested simply calling the emperor, Wei Zheng kept emphasizing that the king of Qin was vicious and should be killed quickly, but in the current situation, how can he be killed? It's a lot of trouble.

At this moment, he had just dismissed the meeting, asked the staff to retreat, sat on a chair, held a cup of herbal tea, and poured it hard, and before he could ease up, he received a report from the soldier.

At this time, Li Jiancheng was like a frightened bird, he attached great importance to any bit of exaggerated news, where was the grace and calmness of the usual prince, when he heard the soldier say this, how dare he slack off, and immediately ordered: "Quick, bring that person to me immediately!" ”

The soldier was embarrassed: "Prince, I see that the man is seriously injured, and I really want to help him in, I am afraid that before the person arrives, he will be choked." ”

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Fool, bring him in!" ”

The soldier didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly agreed and slipped out hurriedly.

In the west chamber of the East Palace, Cao Weituo stood in the courtyard, looking forward to it, and seeing Xiao Zhibo from the East Palace Official Bureau walking back, he was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.

Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng of the East Palace is also helpless, at today's meeting, even Xiao Zhibo, an official who is in charge of travel, has been pulled to be a staff member. Because he is the crown prince, the prince's subordinate officials are customized, just like a small court, but because of the customization, it is not easy for him to recruit troops and buy horses, and accumulate talents.

Let me ask, what do you want to do when the crown prince does this?

On the contrary, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the general of Tiance Mansion, can recruit troops independently, appoint officials independently, and set up official positions by himself, so his subordinates are full of talents. Therefore, even an official like Xiao Zhibo, an official of the bureau, was temporarily used as a staff member.

When Cao Weituo saw Xiao Zhibo, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "Xiao Ju, you are back." The villain has been waiting for you for a long time. The villain is Cao Weituo of the West City Bureau, and when you were on your birthday, the villain used to ......"

Xiao Zhibo waved his hand and said, "I already know your identity, why did you come to see me?" ”

"Uh......, this ......"

Cao Weituo squeaked, and then sloppy.

He originally thought that Feng Xiushi was missing, and he could pretend to be confused, so as not to provoke right and wrong. However, after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, what if the prince succeeded, and Feng Deyi would find trouble for himself when he arrived? Although no one knows the details, many people already know that Feng Xiushi has already stayed at the Return Inn, and he has also been to the Return Inn.

Therefore, he played a clever trick and came to the East Palace to see the prince's subordinates, but the statement became "There is an unknown person who has returned to the inn and wants to see the East Palace, and the purpose is unknown." But the next day, his guests got into a fight with the other guests and disappeared. "He Cao Weituo's loyalty to the people, or rushed to report it.

In Cao Weituo's mind, once Feng Deyi is held accountable in Japan, he can also be vague about the past. But how could he realize the importance of the problem by saying such a thoughtless remark to a petty official who was in charge of the honor guard and carriage.

Pei Zhibo was worried about his future, and when he heard this, he was very impatient, and waved his hand: "I know, if that person goes to see you again, ask him about his purpose, and bring him here!" ”

Cao Weituo got this sentence, and he had a reason to prevaricate in the future, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, then Pei Bureau, you rest first, and the villain retires." ”

Cao Weituo nodded and watched Cao Zhibo, who was not a big bird at all, return to his residence, and then walked out.

Outside the Yimen, the soldier returned to the Yimen, summoned four powerful armor soldiers, lifted the cart that Li Yu was riding, called the fifth Ling Ruo on, entered the Yimen, walked along the Yongdao, and passed another palace gate, and let the fifth Ling Ruo wait in the vestibule, and they carried the car into the second gate.

There are pines and cypresses in the courtyard here, and the pond rockery is cool and elegant, but the face of the fifth Ling Ruo is still hot. She looked left and right and no one paid attention to her, so she walked over and looked at it, and the ripples in the pool were living water, and there were still a few lotus leaves on the water.

The fifth Ling Ruo squatted down by the pool, picked up the water, and washed his head. This splash of water is really refreshing, and I feel that my hair is also sweaty and greasy, and there is steaming heat, so I simply untie my head and wash it.

This long hair is a hair, the clear spring is wet, the water is reflected, is a pretty face without powder, there are white lotus flowers on the water, clear ripples but not demons, no vines and no branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting. There is a beauty by the pool, which is much more beautiful than the floating lotus in the water.

It's just that the reflection of that beautiful face is constantly rippled, like a dream of flowers, fleeting, but it becomes more and more charming.

At this moment, Cao Weituo walked slowly along the pond with square steps.

"Yay?"

Cao Weituo looked at it from afar, and thought that there was a palace maid who was here to clean his face, walked closer, looked at his clothes, and thought that he was a civilian boy, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this is the imperial palace, how can there be people here?

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the fifth Ling Ruo hurriedly raised his head, a show was raised, fine water droplets flew like jade chips, and a pretty face that was blown and broken and crystal like jade was exposed to the setting sun, and there were still a little water droplets hanging on his face, thousands of charms, hidden in his eyebrows.

Cao Weituo only glanced at it, and immediately stood there, just because of that touch of amazement, it was the most beautiful painting in the world!

Cao Weituo's heart was pounding, that was ...... The feeling of first love!
