Chapter 53: Talking with Adults
When Li Zhishi and the evangelist came to the downstairs of Yixiang Building, looking at the soldiers around them who sealed the entire Yixiang Building, the figure of a middle-aged man invariably appeared in their minds.
"At this moment, Zhong Shu should be dead." The sermon sighed.
"yes." Li Zhishi silently replied, in the plan, the most dangerous is the person sitting in the Yixiang Building, because at this time, Li Tan should have been aware of it, and it is very likely that he will kill the person sitting here, so as to test Li Zhishi's next reaction, so as to determine their target. But this move has to be done by someone, because it is a key move to bring the whole situation together, and the key is to lay out human lives.
Therefore, when Li Zhishi asked the participants in the project to choose voluntarily, no one could stand still. Except for Zhong Shu, he has an incurable disease and will not live to be this year.
In any thinking creature, life and death have always been the most important, and the most frightening thing to think about, no one knows what Zhong Shu is thinking about in the Yixiang Building, standing up, repeating "Please sit" three times, handing out the bamboo pieces and then sitting down, but Li Zhishi feels that it should not be in what family and country, after all, people yearn for freedom.
Suddenly felt that he suddenly looked a bit like a philosopher, Li Zhishi smiled ashamedly, he was just an orphan who had been left to fend for himself since he was a child, where did he come from the philosophy of life and death, he could only grit his teeth and force himself to die.
"Doctor Preacher, let's go, let's go to the city gates."
……
……
"Be careful, sir."
Li Tan, who rushed to the lieutenant's office non-stop, was already a little shaky at this time, although the broken arrow on his shoulder had been taken out when he was in the imperial history platform, but the dizziness and weakness caused by blood loss and pain were not cured.
With the support of his personal guards, Li Tan met Lieutenant Yan Yu of the Lieutenant's Office, a guy who seemed to him to be extremely sleek, which was why he had to come in person.
"Dr. Li, what's wrong?" Yan Yu found out at a glance that Li Tan was seriously injured, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Brother Yan, I'm fine, now the situation is urgent, I hope Brother Yan quickly takes the soldiers of the Yafu in the city to the south city gate, cough, cough, little prince, but, there may be difficulties."
"What?! Oh, sorry, sorry! When Yan Yu was shocked in his heart, his hand was subconsciously loosened, fortunately there were guards next to him, otherwise he almost made Li Tan fall directly.
"Brother Yan doesn't need to take care of it, just go quickly, if the little prince is in danger, none of us can afford to condemn Your Majesty!" Li Tan immediately waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and urged Yan to come again and again.
Because he was an official in Kyoto, Yan Yue had already set himself the rule of pretending to be sick and taking care of things less, but now he didn't dare to avoid this matter even if he wanted to, so he immediately saluted Li Tan and retired, and then quickly issued an order, and took the government officials to rush to the south city gate, and at the same time ordered the city officials to go to the south city gate as soon as possible.
As the orders were issued, the entire Xianyang City suddenly became noisy.
"Let's go, let's go to the South Gate too." Although he breathed a sigh of relief, Li Tan's face still did not relax, and he stood up and commanded the guards beside him.
"But my lord, now that the lieutenant's office has been dispatched, and your lordship is seriously injured, this drags on......"
"Go to the South City Gate!" Li Tan did not respond to the advice of the personal guards, but gave an order in a resolute tone, and the guards around him had no choice but to help him into the carriage again and move towards the south city gate.
"It's not that I'm stubborn, but even if Brother Yan Yu goes, I'm still ...... It doesn't feel right. Li Tan on the carriage closed his eyes while recuperating while constantly replaying the picture he had seen today in his mind, although all the clues showed that the other party's target was the little prince, but he still felt that there was a sharp blade hanging above his head that could hang down at any time, which was why he had to go to the south city gate to see, only the most intuitive observation could find out what was wrong.
"What went wrong......
The speed of the carriage could not be faster at this time, on the one hand, it was the street market that was obviously starting to become a little chaotic, and on the other hand, the guards who were driving were worried that the speed was too fast and too bumpy, which would make Li Tan in the carriage unbearable.
In this way, when the carriage arrived at the city gate, there was no longer the figure of the little prince's team and the lieutenant's officer, and when the personal guard woke up Li Tan, who had fallen into a deep sleep, the latter looked at the area around the south city gate that was empty due to the evacuation, and the feeling of being calculated came to his heart more and more clearly.
"Call the city captain." After a while, Li Tan said to the guards beside him a little weakly.
It didn't take long for the city lieutenant in armor to come forward and salute respectfully, Li Tan squinted his eyes and swept it, and asked, "My personal order should have been delivered to you a long time ago, right?" ”
The city lieutenant's heart was cold, and he replied stubbornly: "Yes." ”
"Then why don't you close the gates!" Hearing this "yes", Li Tan suddenly burst out, grabbed the jade plate on his waist and threw it at the chest of the city lieutenant, and the jade and armor collided and instantly split into several petals and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of clanging and ping.
The city lieutenant naturally didn't dare to avoid it, and continued to maintain a saluting posture and gritted his teeth and replied: "Your Excellency, Yushitai has no right to order the city gate to open and close, and the temperament of the little prince, Lord Yushi also knows, he wants to go out of the city and has already reported it, and the lower officials, the lower officials dare not stop it!" However, the subordinate managed to stop for a moment, and the sergeant of the lieutenant's office had already chased after him. ”
"Even if he looks at your head, you will close the gates of the city to me! If something goes wrong, the soldiers of the entire South City Gate will accompany you to lose your head! Hearing the city lieutenant's defense, Li Tan's anger dropped a little, but he still scolded him a little angrily.
"How long have they been gone?"
"Your Excellency, there should be two moments. The lieutenant should not let the traitor escape. ”
Li Tan exhaled lightly when he heard this, and the personal guard beside him whispered beside him: "My lord, those guys don't dare to really take the little prince seriously, otherwise none of them can afford it under His Majesty's anger, and it can be regarded as a conspiracy to escape from Xianyang in such a way, but now that the people from the lieutenant's office have chased after them, even if they escape, they will not be able to escape. ”
"If only it were as simple as it was said." Li Tan smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, as if in response to his words, at this time, an order soldier from outside the city rushed back, and as soon as he saw Li Tan, he dismounted and ran over, and walked quickly in front of him.
"Your Excellency, the lieutenant wants the small horse to come back and report the news."
"Say." Li Tan nodded.
Ling Bing immediately looked up at Li Tan, looked a little hesitant, and said, "The lieutenant did not find any suspicious people in the little prince's convoy, and the little prince also checked the personnel on the spot and did not find any omissions. ”
"What?!" Li Tan was already shaking his body and almost fell to the ground.
"And the lieutenant let the little one turn around, and tell the lord a word," Ling Bing said, and his voice began to get smaller, "The lord said, that he is already on the way back, come back, and come back to have a good discussion with Lord Yushi......"
