The morning mist was filled, and the night's humidity soaked everyone's clothes, and the dew was like a fairy, greeting the people who rose in the morning mischievously.

The team of forty or so people regrouped and drove the two carriages to continue westward, and the vague morning fog forced the convoy to slow down and move slowly on the official road.

Suddenly, there was a woman's cry in the carriage, followed by a man's profligate laughter. The woman's writhing pant mingled with the man's laughter.

The guards who had been ordered to protect the carriage glanced at the carriage and continued on their way with a normal expression, as they were accustomed to the sound of this kind of noise in the carriage along the way.

What's even more amazing is that sometimes through the glass of the carriage window, you can peek into the fragrant scene inside. Even, sometimes Helan Gongzi will deliberately open the curtains, so that they can admire the white flowers inside through the glass, and the concave and convex white flowers are falling.

The graceful moaning of the woman's seductive and seductive nature, and the man's heavy breath, rose and fell one after another in the thick fog of the early morning, dominating the scene of blood flowers and fragrance.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air swept through the air, and the guards around the carriage all fell to the ground silently in an instant, and they didn't even have time to warn Helan Min in the carriage.

"These people turned out to be people who were transferred from the Zhichong Mansion?" Unable to stand with Wutian, squinting his eyes through the thick fog, arrows broke through the air next to the two of them.

"Does it matter? Just obey the master's orders. Wutian watched forty people fall down before they had time to resist the warning.

"What about the people in the carriage?" Jingwei's clue pointed out that this was Helan Minzhi. "It can't be like you're discussing with Wutian.

"I didn't let him be killed, so let's keep my life." After he couldn't finish speaking, he suddenly raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and shot at the curtain of the carriage.

With a "bang", the crossbow arrow shot into the wooden door of the carriage like a meteor with a blast of wind, and entered the wood for three points, and the tail of the arrow trembled with wings, as if to remind the people in the carriage not to act rashly.

"The new crossbow is really good, fast, accurate, and powerful, it's a killing weapon." Wutian looked at the inability to shoot the target quickly and exclaimed.

In the blink of an eye, all forty guards of the convoy fell to the ground silently, dead of exhaustion.

"Check the wagon." Wutian is like talking to the air.

Then suddenly seven or eight men poured out from both sides of the road, came to the first carriage, opened the carriage door cautiously, and one of them quickly got in, and after a while it came out again.

Jumping out of the carriage and walking up to Lawless, he said, "That's right, it's something we lost, some charcoal is missing, and everything else is there." ”

"Withdraw." Wutian said.

"Yes." The man turned and ran to the carriage again, took the horse, which had not been frightened from the beginning of the assassination to the end, slowly turned around from the official road, and galloped in the direction of the east.

Lawless and the two slowly emerged from the morning mist, and the two walked side by side to another carriage, the door of the carriage was locked, and a man's voice came from inside: "Who are you?" Do you know whose carriage this is? ”

Unable to bother to talk to him, his finger tapped on the window and motioned for him to come out.

At this time, I saw that the woman's breasts in the carriage were half-hidden, and her snow-white slender legs were exposed, and she was fighting with the man for each other's clothes in a panic.

Seeing the anxious appearance of the two of them, lawless and motionless stood motionless next to the carriage and waited quietly, the fragrant and seductive woman's body inside was not attractive in their eyes.

Helan Minzhi hurriedly got out of the car and looked at the two ordinary people, looking stunned. I originally thought it would be two people who looked fierce and evil, but I didn't expect them to be two people who looked ordinary and couldn't be ordinary, no matter how you looked at it, they didn't look like robbers, but they looked like outcasts.

"The two of you robbed money or sex? If you ask for wealth, the carriage belongs to you, and everything has already been prepared for the two of you, not only gold cakes and horseshoe gold, but even the lintoe gold has been prepared for the two of you. If the two of you can afford it, it's no problem for the beautiful woman to belong to you. I don't ask about the rest, as long as the two of you give a way out. Helan Minzhi's handsome face was full of sincerity.

"Where did the charcoal in that wagon go? Who else but you have touched the contents of the carriage? Unable to ignore the temptation thrown by Helan Minzhi, he asked.

"The charcoal has been used by me for the past two days, and no one has touched the contents of the carriage except for the forty people lying here." Helan Minzhi said happily.

"Do you know what the stuff in this carriage is for?" Can't ask again.

"I don't know." Helan Minzhi said firmly: "But it should be very useful, as long as it is transported to the Western Regions, it can be sold for a very high price." ”

"Sell to whom?"

"Tocharian remnants, Zoroastrians." Helan Minzhi has to answer all questions, this is his consistent style, and in the face of such two people who can silently eliminate his forty guards in an instant, Helan Minzhi doesn't feel that he can take advantage of it, who knows if there is a bow and crossbow aimed at him at this moment in this fog.

"." After knowing what to know, Wutian said in a deep voice.

Then he couldn't push the two of them away, took the carriage, sat on the wheel of the carriage with Wutian, and drove the carriage leisurely away, leaving Helan Minzhi and the glamorous woman on the side of the road without looking at them.

The carriage slowly walked a distance of about 100 paces, and on the official road where the morning fog gradually dissipated, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air was heard again.

He Lanmin was startled, and hurriedly pulled the beautiful woman next to him to block him, and the sharp arrow immediately passed through the woman's neck, and the arrow was only three or five inches away from Helan Min's collarbone.

He Lanmin looked at the sharp arrow in a cold sweat, but he didn't see a white dove flying out of the carriage.

"Hmph, I've been preventing you from killing your mouth for a long time. But do you think you're so swaggering that you can go back without modifying the carriage? This is the prince's carriage, and when the government sees it, you will wait to see the king of Hades. Helan Minzhi looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and pushed it away casually, staring at the beautiful woman with wide eyes and a look of disbelief, casually as if she was throwing garbage.

Clapping his hands, he found a relatively dry place on the side of the road and sat down, he believed that before noon, the people of the government would definitely find this place and take him back, the prince's warrant, no one dared to ignore it.

And even if the post city passed by yesterday didn't find anything unusual about the carriage, there was a post station dozens of miles ahead, and it had already received the information that he was about to arrive at noon, and if he didn't arrive at noon, he would definitely send someone to find him.

In the sky above Chang'an City, a white dove flew quickly, flapping its wings and flying in the direction of Pu Wangfu.

Xia Zhi hurriedly walked to the door of Li Hong's study and said softly: "Prince, Yan Liben, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, wants to see you." ”

"Yan Liben? What is he here for? Li Hong raised his head from a pile of papers and asked.

"He didn't say anything, he just said that he had something important to ask you to see." Xia Zhi said.

"Let him in." Li Hong put away the paper on the desk.

Yan Liben hurriedly followed Xia Zhi to the prince's study, but in his heart he prayed silently, I really hope that the prince can have a way, if this construction period is delayed any longer, His Majesty will really be angry.

A wooden pillar about ten zhang long and three people hugging together in Daming Palace has never been able to erect on the roof of the main hall under construction, and there is a huge stone, which cannot be transported to the ninety-nine steps in any way.

During today's inspection, he was anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, and his lips were blistered because of the fire, but he just couldn't think of a better way.

But just as he was looking at the huge wooden pillar and the boulder in a daze, Wang Yifang, who had come to inspect the Imperial History, after knowing his difficulties, suggested to him that maybe he could ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, maybe there would be an unexpected way.

Yan Liben's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, he was really old and confused, how could he forget His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always been smart and wise, so he hurried over.

After Li Hong heard Yan Liben's intention, he was also a little dumbfounded: "Lord Yan, do you think I can do it?" ”

"Your Highness, the minister really has no choice now, so I came to ask Your Highness. At first, it shouldn't have been difficult to look at on the drawings, but I didn't expect that in reality, it was really ...... to erect a complete giant pillar It's really hard to get to the sky. Yan Liben hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and continued to complain.

"Wang Yifang didn't even impeach you for delaying the construction period? As far as I know, his eyes are very secretive, and even I dare not linger in front of him for more than an hour, or he will have to seize some kind of trick and sue my father and the emperor. Li Hong said.

"Your Highness, the minister won't hide it from you, the minister can't care so much, impeachment is impeachment, even if the minister's official position is removed at that time, as long as this giant pillar can be erected, the minister will admit it." Yan Liben said eagerly.

When Yan Liben was alive when the emperor's grandfather was alive, he once served as a waiter in the Criminal Department and a young eunuch, but he was really reused when his father planned to rebuild the Daming Palace, and appointed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

is in his sixties, and it is already commendable to survive to the position of six Shangshu.

"Don't worry, drink some water to go to the fire first, take a rest, and I'll go with you to have a look, okay?"

As soon as Yan Liben heard that the prince agreed, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand and thanked: "So the minister would like to thank His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go now?" ”

"I ...... Well, you're older, you have the final say, let's go. Li Hong couldn't bear to face the anxious old man, and said resignedly.

And just when they went to the construction site of Daming Palace, Wang Yifang's goods had already run in front of Li Zhi, and while impeaching Yan Liben for abandoning the construction period, he also said that Yan Liben invited the prince to Daming Palace, hoping that the prince could help him think of a good way.
