Chapter 714: Variables
Li Longji sat in front of Zhang Bao'er and couldn't help but admire: "Bao'er, it's really yours, how do you know that Princess Taiping will definitely send someone to assassinate you tonight." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Bao'er sighed and said, "The reason why I asked the county king to discuss the coup with Princess Taiping is to let her know that I have come back and will stay with you tonight." She knew the news, if she didn't make a move, she wouldn't be Princess Taiping! β
"I didn't expect her to be so ruthless." Li Longji said angrily.
β¦β¦
On this day, Zhang Baoer got up early, and even ate breakfast in the guest room of the Xianghe Inn. Today is a special day, and the coup d'Γ©tat that he and Li Longji have been planning for a long time will be officially launched tonight. Everything has been planned, as long as it is done step by step, there should be no big problem, but I don't know what's going on, Zhang Baoer always feels a little uneasy in her heart, but she can't do anything, so she can only wait patiently.
Time passed little by little, and Zhang Baoer closed her eyes in the guest room to recuperate.
Around the end of the hour, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Zhang Bao'er heard that this was the secret signal of Tingfeng Tang, and he said to the door: "Come in!" β
It was Yan Gu who came, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said: "Brother Bao'er, something happened, the king of Linzi County sent someone to send you a message." β
In order to ensure that the news from Li Longji could be delivered in time, Zhang Baoer asked Yangu to select a few reliable people and arrange them by Li Longji's side, but he didn't expect Li Longji to use it so soon.
"Don't rush, speak slowly!" Zhang Bao'er motioned for Yan Gu to sit down first.
"Wang Maozhong disappeared suddenly, and the king of the county was worried that the matter had been revealed and wanted to terminate the coup plan, so he asked Brother Bao'er for his opinion."
After hearing this, Zhang Baoer realized the seriousness of the matter, and he got up and paced in the room.
Wang Maozhong and Li Yide were among the Zhuang slaves that Zhang Baoer originally bought in Luzhou, and both of them were very skilled, and Zhang Baoer managed to get them all out of their lowly status at that time, so they were very grateful to Zhang Baoer. Later, Zhang Baoer asked Wang Maozhong and Li Yide to follow Li Longji, specifically to protect Li Longji's safety.
Li Longji trusts Wang Maozhong and Li Yide very much, and after returning to Chang'an, no matter where Li Longji goes, Wang Maozhong and Li Yide will always follow him and never leave.
Since they are confidants, the secret of Li Longji's coup d'Γ©tat will naturally not be concealed from the two of them, and not only that, Li Longji also let them play an important role in the coup. According to the plan, Li Yide will follow Li Longji into the palace in person, and Wang Maozhong will be responsible for liaising with Chen Xuanli and Ge Fushun of the Yulin Army.
Now, the coup d'Γ©tat is imminent, but Wang Maozhong has suddenly disappeared, which not only cuts off the connection between Li Longji and Yulinjun, but also is very likely to put Li Longji in danger, and it is reasonable for Li Longji to want to stop the coup.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Bao'er said to Yan Gu: "Tell the king of the county that there is only one possibility for Wang Maozhong's disappearance, and he is afraid that he will be implicated in the failure of the coup, so he hid." If he was arrested by Empress Wei's people or took the initiative to inform, Chang'an City would never be as peaceful as it is now, and the coup d'Γ©tat could not be stopped because of Wang Maozhong's disappearance. Maybe Wang Maozhong is still hesitating to wait and see, and whether he will go to the whistle for a while and a half, but if the coup is stopped, it is difficult to say. As for the Yulin Army, I will contact you in person to reassure the county king that it will proceed according to the original plan! β
"Brother Bao'er, I understand!" Yan Gu nodded and left.
β¦β¦
In Chen Xuanli's house in the right Yulin army camp, Ge Fushun said restlessly: "Old Chen, why hasn't this Wang Mao Zhong come yet, there won't be any changes on King Linzi's side, right?" β
Although Chen Xuanli was also a little impetuous, he still persuaded: "Probably not, Lao Ge, don't worry, let's wait." β
As soon as Chen Xuanli's words fell, a relative queen came into the house to report: "General Qiyu Zhonglang, the tall general of the Yulin Army has sent someone to see you by name, and he is now waiting outside the camp gate!" β
Ge Fushun listened to this, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
After the collapse of Zhongzong, Empress Wei replaced all the main generals of all the armies in Chang'an with her henchmen, and the Yulin Army was the main force guarding the palace, and naturally it would not be an exception, and the current general of the Yulin Army was Gao Song, the nephew of Empress Wei. At this juncture, Gao Song sent someone to name and ask to see Chen Xuanli, but he saw some clues.
Thinking of this, Ge Fushun stood up nervously and asked, "What is the purpose of the visit?" β
"He only said that he had something important to do, and he was ordered by General Gao, so he could only say it to General Chen Zhonglang in person."
Ge Fushun was about to speak, but he saw Chen Xuanli waving his hand to him and said to his own soldiers: "People in the future will come to me." β
"Yes!" The soldiers turned away as promised.
"Old Chen......" Ge Fushun was nervous in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
Chen Xuanli was much calmer, he smiled and said: "Lao Ge, so far, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, no matter what kind of medicine is sold in Gao Song's gourd, let's see the person first." β
Ge Fushun said helplessly: "It's just like this." β
β¦β¦
Chen Xuanli carefully looked at the person who was brought into the tent by his own soldiers, he was wearing the uniform of the Yulin Army, and his face was very unfamiliar.
"I haven't seen General Chen Zhonglang!" The man gave Chen Xuanli a military salute.
Chen Xuanli got up and said, "I don't know what General Gao's general order?" β
"This ......" the visitor glanced back at the soldiers behind him, but did not speak.
"You go down first!" Chen Xuanli waved his hand to the soldiers.
After the soldiers went down, Chen Xuanli said: "Now you can say it!" β
"I don't have much to say, I'd like to hear what you two have to say?" The visitor suddenly laughed.
Ge Fushun felt that something was wrong, he took out his saber from his waist and asked viciously, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? β
Chen Xuanli's face showed a look of joy, and he saluted the person who came: "Lord Zhang! β
"What? Lord Zhang? Ge Fushun looked at the visitor suspiciously.
"Hahaha, it is said that General Chen's heart is as careful as hair, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation!"
Ge Fushun really listened to it this time, it was really Zhang Baoer's voice, he was overjoyed and said: "Lord Zhang, it's really you ......"
Zhang Bao'er said with a smile: "If I don't disguise myself, wouldn't it make people suspicious when I came to the barracks rashly?" β
Chen Xuanli hurriedly asked, "How is King Linzi doing over there, where is Wang Maozhong?" β
"Everything is ready on the side of the King of Linzi, the key is your side, I am not at ease, so I came in person and let Wang Maozhong stay with the King of Linzi." Zhang Baoer lied without changing her face.
At this time, if he said Wang Maozhong, it would inevitably affect the confidence of the two of them, so it was better not to tell them.
