At the lunchtime Xuanzong gave a banquet, several people respected each other like guests, and they were harmonious like a family. Li Guinian was summoned to sing a tune, and the musicians and singers were even more busy, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

After the banquet, when Xuanzong returned to the dormitory to rest, he said to Yang Guifei and Gao Lishi very happily: "The monarch and the ministers are harmonious, and the top and bottom are united, and the banquet just now reminded me of when I ascended the throne." I'm glad we are at the right moment. The Xi people are obedient, the Turks are guarded by Wang Zhonghei, and the Nanzhao Kingdom will be destroyed soon, and I have nothing to ask for. ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "Congratulations to San Lang, I am really happy for San Lang, His Majesty the unfinished unification of the ancestors is finally going to be realized." ”

Xuanzong laughed and said: "With the auspicious words of the concubine, I still want to say that I can live for twenty years, and I will see this scene with my own eyes when the time comes." ”

Gao Lishi followed aside, did not speak from beginning to end, and his face was blank.

……

After Xuanzong left, the banquet suddenly dispersed, first Li Linfu said goodbye and left as soon as possible, and then An Lushan immediately said goodbye and left, leaving only Yang Guozhong and Wang Yuan sitting in the Agarwood Pavilion looking at each other and laughing. Li Linfu and An Lushan are probably also looking for a place to chat privately, and they don't care about what they talk about. In short, the harmony at the wine table is an illusion, and the two sides are actually distinct.

Yang Guozhong smiled and raised his glass: "Things are so smooth, but I didn't expect that, Erlang, from now on you will be the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and I can only rely on you for the major event of crusading against Nanzhao." ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "Zuo Xiang, you are strangling the rope to my neck, the matter has come to this point, and I can only go all out." ”

Yang Guozhong patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "I believe that you will not disappoint my expectations, and as soon as the holy decree is made, you will leave the capital to take up your post." Don't worry, although I can't increase the troops, I will let Zhang Qiu and Qiong do their best to ensure the supply of grain, grass and weapons. Do you have any other requirements? ”

Wang Yuan pointed around and said: "This is not the place to talk, find a place to talk in detail after leaving the palace, I can't go to Jiannan with such a black eye." ”

Yang Guozhong thought for a while and said: "That's it, I'll go out of the palace to the eighth sister's mansion first, I heard that you didn't talk to the eighth sister yesterday and went back to the house, you should also go to meet her." Besides, Liu Jun returned safely, and I, who was my cousin, should also go and take a look. I'll see you in the Eighth Sister's Mansion in a while. ”

Wang Yuan nodded in agreement, and Yang Guozhong drank the wine in the cup and got up to leave. Wang Yuan drank half a pot of wine and ate a few plates of imperial dishes in full view of more than a dozen waiters, and then slowly left the Agarwood Pavilion with a full burp.

The noon sun was just right, and the zigzag corridor in the hundred gardens was empty, Wang Yuan walked slowly along the corridor, admiring the green flower beds and unknown flowers under the winter sun, and his mood was very comfortable. Suddenly, I heard someone behind me calling his name softly, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that the corridor was empty, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Prince Wang, Prince Wang." The shouting continued, Wang Yuan put up a pergola to block the sunlight shining on his eyes and searched, but saw a figure standing next to a large field of flowers and trees on the east side, with a handsome face, wearing a gray robe, and bowing to himself, Wang Yuan recognized who he was, it was Li Guinian, the first musician of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Yuan was very puzzled, and when he was summoned in the morning, he met Li Guinian, who seemed to have something to say, but he didn't have time to talk to him, and now Li Guinian really caught up again, but instead of calling himself from the corridor, he was sneaking around the flowers and trees, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

Wang Yuan thought about it, raised his feet and stepped over the railing to the brick floor between the flower beds, and walked towards the flowers and trees where Li Guinian was standing. When I got there, I couldn't see the trace of Li Guinian, but I heard Li Guinian's low call again from a small bamboo forest on the left.

Wang Yuan frowned, and a sense of surprise arose in his heart, so he pulled out a wooden stick that was inserted in the soil for the flowers and trees to climb, grabbed it in his hand, and walked towards the small bamboo forest. A single path happened to pass into the bamboo forest, and when I entered the bamboo forest, I saw Li Guinian standing with his back to himself standing in the gap of a few bamboos and looking out.

"Mr. Li, what do you call me?" Wang Yuan raised his voice.

"Shhhhh......h

Wang Yuan's brows were tightened, but when he saw Li Gui young man stepping forward, he arched his hand and said, "Wang Gongzi is not strange, there are many guards in the hundred gardens, and if he speaks loudly, he will summon them." They won't be in this position, so please speak here. ”

Wang Yuan said coldly: "What is Mr. Li going to say?" What do you do to hide from people? ”

Li Guinian smiled slightly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Wang Gongzi, do you know this?" After that, he stretched out his hand and took out an object from his waist and dangled it in front of Wang Yuan's eyes, Wang Yuan stared at it carefully, and was suddenly startled, the thing was crystal clear and green and lovely, this thing Wang Yuan couldn't be more familiar, it was the token of the so-called special deacon that Li Xin'er brought back to him when he was pulled into Luoyimen, a Pisces jade pendant.

Wang Yuan's brain 'buzzed', but he quickly calmed down, frowned and asked, "Mr. Li, what does this mean?" ”

Li Guinian lowered his voice and said: "Prince Wang, don't cover it up, don't you know what this Pisces jade pendant represents?" I know you've been promoted to deputy commander of the Luo Yi Gate, but weren't you one of the two special deacons in the Luo Yi Gate before that? The first time I saw you in March at the willow garden by the bridge of Mrs. Yuguo, I knew your identity. At that time, your Pisces jade pendant was hanging around your waist, exactly like this one. ”

Wang Yuan's mind was racing rapidly, and he finally whispered, "Are you ...... Is it another ......? ”

Li Guinian nodded slowly and said coldly: "You guessed it, I am another special deacon of Luo Yimen, and I have always stayed by His Majesty's side. I've always known who you are, but you don't know who I am. ”

Wang Yuan opened his mouth wide in astonishment and looked at Li Guinian blankly, it turned out that Li Guinian was another special deacon of Luo Yimen. The first musician of the Tang Dynasty waited around Xuanzong every day, singing music for Xuanzong, filling in the lyrics and singing for the concubine, who would have thought that he would be the special deacon of Luo Yimen.

"I didn't expect it, Prince Wang." Li Guinian smiled.

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "What are you looking for me?" Is it possible to casually reveal the identity of a special deacon? ”

Li Guinian smiled and said, "Naturally, I dared to expose my identity so that you could know on the orders of Gonggong Li." Of course, following the orders of Gonggong Li is the order of His Royal Highness, don't you understand this? ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "But I don't know what Gonggong Li wants you to do with me?" ”

Li Guinian smiled slightly, his thin cheeks were full of wrinkles, and said softly: "Of course it's not for fun." Father-in-law Li originally planned to see you in person, but some of the actions of your Wang Shilang made Father-in-law Li very unhappy, so Father-in-law Li canceled the plan to see you, and asked him to identify you and convey his orders. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Isn't Gonggong Li happy?" But I don't know what made Grandpa Li unhappy, why didn't I know? ”

Li Guinian sighed and sneered: "Why bother? You don't understand it in your own heart, and you have to say it? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I really don't know. ”

Li Guinian sneered: "Okay, then I'll tell you." Two months ago, Gonggong Li conveyed an order to you, did you follow it? You must say that you have a temporary errand and become the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, so you have to leave the capital to perform your duties, right? Don't play this kind of little trick, Your Highness and Gonggong Li understand your thoughts. To be honest, I really admire you, and you dare to disobey Gonggong Li's orders, so I can't do this. You are left and right, on the one hand, you sit on the chair of Luo Yimen, on the other hand, you follow Yang Guozhong, you are promoted and rich, it is very nourishing, not bad. ”

Wang Yuan was finally able to fully believe that Li Guinian was indeed the special deacon of Luo Yimen, and the Pisces Jade Pendant was just a token, but knowing so much inside information was the real proof. His status as a special deacon seemed to be higher than that of his own vice-deacon, as evidenced by the fact that he knew these secrets.

"Wang Shilang! Oh, no, I should call you Wang Jiedu, you were promoted again just now, didn't you? It's all mixed up with the official position of the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, I really admire your ability. But don't forget, it's dangerous to step on two boats, and if you don't get the boat to capsize, no one in either boat will save you. Moreover, which boat is big and which boat is small, you have to think clearly. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Please inform Gonggong Li, my loyalty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be seen every day, and I never have the intention of stepping on two boats." The envoy was recommended by Yang Guozhong, and the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu was also recommended by Yang Guozhong, could I still fall out with him and refuse his recommendation? Didn't Gonggong Li want me to go as high as possible, and go as far as possible? That's also to better fulfill my mission. ”

"Hmph, what you say is very good, but you can't tell me, I don't care what you do. For your sake, I risked my identity being exposed to come to you to pass on the word, but I didn't come to listen to your nonsense. Let's make it clear, Gonggong Li said, any quibbles are useless, the important thing is action. Therefore, you have to use your actions to prove your loyalty to His Royal Highness, to Gonggong Li, and to Luo Yimen. Everything else is. ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "What action?" ”

Li Guinian looked at it a few times and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Li has issued an order for you to assist me in completing this life, and this is an opportunity to prove myself." If you do it, Gonggong Li will naturally believe you. ”

Wang Yuan said: "But I don't know what the order is." I will do my best to help. ”

Li Guinian smiled slightly: "I can't tell you the details of the operation at the moment, I can only tell you that we are going to kill someone." Tomorrow evening, you come to the palace, I will wait for you at the south bridge under the east willow embankment of Longchi, and I will tell you the specific details at that time. ”

Wang Yuan was startled and exclaimed, "Murder? ”

Li Guinian reprimanded: "Do you want to die? So loud, are you going to summon the Praetorian Guards? ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly covered his mouth and silenced him, Li Guinian quietly moved, looking out from the gap in the bamboo forest, the sun was dazzling all around, and he was silent and silent, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head, he said with a solemn expression: "This matter is a big deal, and the person who killed is not an ordinary person, but I have already planned it, I just need to do it tomorrow." When you come tomorrow, I'll tell you in detail. ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Come into the palace?" Is it to kill the people in the palace? There are so many guards in the palace, how can we get out of killing someone? ”

Li Guinian said coldly: "Mouthy! I've said that everything is in order, and I'll wait for tomorrow to do it, and I won't be out of it. You're worried about whether you'll be able to get out of it all at first. ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said: "Since you have already arranged it, why do you need me to join in this fun, I came to the palace with a big goal, I want to show my loyalty, and I don't have to risk exposing me." Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me? ”

Li Guinian sneered: "You think I am willing to ask you to participate? To tell you the truth, others held you up to the sky, and I didn't look down on you. Think about how many secret missions I have carried out alone in the palace for seven or eight years, and how many secret missions have I ever asked for help? If I don't have to be involved this time, will I come to you with my identity? Do you really think that Gonggong Li is willing to let me tell you these words? There are so many ways for him to find someone to bring you a message, and this time he is risking my identity being exposed, isn't it because this mission is so important that you have to be involved? Don't ask more, don't talk too much, this is your last chance to show your loyalty, if this thing is messed up, you will have no chance. ”

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said, "Okay, I won't ask much." ”

Li Guinian snorted coldly and said, "You and I can't talk much here, if someone bumps into us, it will immediately cause trouble." There's only one thing you need to do when you get back tonight, and you have to do it well. ”

Wang Yuan said: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Guinian said: "You should hear the song "Spring River Moon" I played at the banquet just now, you go back and write a lyric for this song, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to your house to fetch it, I need to practice." ”

Wang Yuan was full of confusion, and he was about to kill people for a while, but after a while, he had to fill in the lyrics for his new song "Spring River Moon", and he really didn't understand what medicine was sold in Li Guinian's gourd.

"Don't ask anything, just do it. You stay here for a while, I'll go first, and you won't leave until a while, so as not to arouse suspicion. Li Guinian looked at the position, dressed neatly, and returned to a handsome and wooden expression on his face, and became the first musician of the Tang Dynasty who was obsessed with music singing, Shi Shiran walked into the sunshine with square steps and left slowly.

……

After a stick of incense, Wang Yuan was already in a depressed mood and rode on the road to the Lady of Qin's mansion. Everything that happened suddenly just now pulled Wang Yuan back to the cruel reality at once, reminding Wang Yuan that in this capital, his danger was no less than when he was in Fan Yang. After less than a day of silence, he will fall into the embarrassment of being forced again, and this time he has no chance to hide anymore no matter what. Because it is impossible for Wang Yuan to leave the capital before tomorrow, and tomorrow evening he will go to help Li Guinian who jumped out to kill someone.

Wang Yuan himself felt funny, the original expedient move and the act of stepping on two boats in order to protect himself have finally begun to fully counterattack. As long as he is still in the capital for a day, with the gradual escalation of the contradictions between the three forces, and as Xuanzong gets old day by day, he will no longer have time to live in peace. The only solution is to leave the land of right and wrong, and let them have no way of doing it.

But before that, the operation in the palace of tomorrow must deal with the past by itself. But who the target of that operation was and what the purpose was, Wang Yuan did not know. This is what makes Wang Yuan feel the most terrifying.

If the target is an ordinary person, that's fine, but if the target is an important person in the palace, tomorrow's action may be the end of his own journey. Wang Yuan never believed that he could kill people in the Xingqing Palace, which was heavily defended by tens of thousands of forest troops, and retreated. Moreover, the records of his own entry into the palace will also be recorded, and as long as he looks back on these records, he will not be able to escape suspicion. And Li Guinian's vow that he would retreat with his whole body is extremely ridiculous in Wang Yuan's opinion.

Wang Yuan had some suspicions that this was a test that Li Fuguo deliberately set for himself through Li Guinian. The killing is fake, it just depends on whether you dare to go tomorrow, and what actions you will take after learning about Li Guinian's identity and tomorrow's mission. Maybe now there are Luo Yimen's secret agents' eyes staring at their every move, and then summarizing these to Li Fuguo to judge whether he has betrayed Luo Yimen, it is not impossible that this possibility exists.

Unconsciously, the Lady of Qin State's Mansion arrived, and she entered the Lady of Qin State's Mansion with a stirrup, and the people in the mansion were already familiar with Wang Yuan. This prince can enter and leave the inner and outer mansions of the lady of Qin State unimpeded, this is the order of the lady.

Entering the warm pavilion of the inner house, Yang Guozhong and Mrs. Qin Guo, who had arrived here earlier and were spying with Mrs. Qin Guo, had already stood up to greet them. Yang Guozhong complained: "Why did I come at this time, I have been here for a long time." ”

Of course, Wang Yuan couldn't tell him that he was scared and scolded by a court musician like his grandson, so he only smiled: "I met an acquaintance on the way, and I delayed talking for a while, and I waited for a long time. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo obviously knew that Wang Yuan was coming, so she deliberately dressed up, and her whole person was dazzling and beautiful. Mrs. Qin Guo stared at Wang Yuan with rolling eyes, and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't pay attention to him." Come, sit down, I'll make you tea. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo had already personally helped the pot, made hot tea for Wang Yuan, and turned around to sit down next to Wang Yuan.

"We are talking about your promotion to the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu today, and the eighth sister complained to me, saying that I shouldn't have sent you to do such a thing again. This burden is too heavy, I'm afraid you won't be able to pick it up. Yang Guozhong ignored Mrs. Qin's undisguised intimacy with Wang Yuan and smiled.

Mrs. Qin Guo said, "Isn't it? How difficult it is to conquer Nanzhao, you let Wang Yuan turn the situation around, isn't it embarrassing for him? He is not a military general, although he has some skills, but after all, his experience is still shallow. All in all, I don't think it's a good idea. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Madame, is there no confidence in me?" ”

Mrs. Qin Guo glanced at him and said, "It's not that I don't have confidence, this is not a joke." It is not only related to the status of my cousin and my Yang family, but also to your own safety. I've heard that those barbarians in Nanzhao eat human flesh and drink human blood, they are all uncivilized people, and we shouldn't mess with them at all. ”

Yang Guozhong clenched his fists and coughed twice: "Eighth sister, the matter has come to this, what is the point of you saying these words of blaming your brother?" Brother Wei has already regretted not listening to Wang Yuan's advice, and apologized to him, what do you want to do for your brother? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo sighed and said, "What else? What can I say about the situation at this point? So cousin, you must think twice about acting. I don't have any idea what to do about it. Can Wang Yuan turn the tide of the war, this ...... No one can tell. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Madame still doesn't have confidence in me, Madame doesn't have to worry." I'm going to do everything I can to turn things around. If you can't reverse the defeat, it's just a matter of days, and it's useless to rush. But maybe there will be a miracle. ”

Mrs. Qin said leisurely: "Will a miracle occur?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Everything is possible, as long as you make all preparations and plans in advance, in the Jiming Mountain Canyon, when there are 800 against 3,000 enemies, don't many people also tell me that they will be defeated?" But what is the truth? Didn't a miracle happen yet? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Are you really confident in yourself?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "I have always had confidence in myself, but before that, I need Zuo Xiang to tell me some truth, so that I can know myself and my opponent." ”
