028 Royal Mansion Dark Room
Li Xiang walked in front of Yang Shu unhurriedly, looking at this high-ranking prince's face at this time, still kneeling in front of him, he smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "Your Royal Highness King Teng, do you know where these thieves come from?" β
Yang Shu snorted coldly, twisted his head to other places and said fiercely: "Li Xiang, don't think that you can do anything to this king with a few thieves, everything you have today will be returned a hundred times in the future!" β
Li Xiang was not angry or annoyed, half-squatted, and whispered in Yang Xu's ear: "Lord Wang, anyone can say cruel words, it depends on whether you have a chance, I am waiting for you!" He got up, patted his shirt, and said loudly: "Leave a team of soldiers to take care of the palace, and the rest of the people will escort the prince and several subordinate officials to the Taishou Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"This king is not going!" As soon as Li Xiang's words fell, Yang Xu began to roar, but looking at the faint eyes of a group of indifferent soldiers, he also knew that these were useless, and it was better to shut up obediently.
The guards of the palace were panicked, and they didn't know whether to help their prince stay at this time, or just watch the prince being taken away. The leaders of the guards in the lead glanced at each other, and then walked towards Li Xiang in unison.
Li Xiang's personal soldiers immediately discovered the situation, raised their weapons one by one, and waited for the battle. Instead, Li Xiang waved his hand so that they didn't have to be nervous, and stood there with their hands behind their backs, waiting for a few people to come.
"Yan Chun, the commander of the palace guards, greets your lord!" At first, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes half-knelt to salute Li Xiang, and three or four people behind him also saluted.
"Get up, is there anything wrong?" Li Xiang asked lightly.
"My lord, I wonder when my lord will come back?" Yan Chun thought for a moment before asking.
"It depends on how much your prince has done that he shouldn't have done." Li Xiang replied with a sneer.
Yan Chun didn't expect to get such an answer, so he was anxious at that time, and said directly: "My lord, no matter how you say that the prince of my family is also His Majesty's brother, you can't just take him away." What should we do as a person? β
After Li Xiang listened to him, his eyes lit up, becoming a king and defeating a king, this is the truth. But no matter what, the most vicious people will have a few good friends, and they can only see who is true in times of crisis.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls down, everyone pushes it, Yang Xu, the prince, is estimated to have a lot of people on weekdays, but at this time, there is not even a person who stands up to speak to him, and even his most trusted staff is hiding from a distance to watch at this time, and Li Xiang also asked him to follow him back to the Taishou Mansion.
It's just that Li Xiang didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous man in front of him would be able to speak for Yang Shu at this time, and he couldn't help but let him take a look at it.
"Your name is Yan Chun? How many years have you been in the palace? Li Xiang asked in a calmer voice.
"Lord Hui, the last general has been in the palace for five years." Yan Chun replied in a proper manner.
"It's rare that you have a sincere heart to protect the Lord, so the official doesn't blame you for talking nonsense. But this official wants to ask you, since you have been in this palace for five years, haven't you found out that there is something unspeakable about your prince? Or did you get involved in it, so you defended him in every way? As he spoke, Li Xiang's voice suddenly rose.
Yan Chun's body trembled slightly, raised his eyes to look at Li Xiang and said loudly: "My lord, the last general is just the commander of the guards in the palace, and the last general doesn't know what the prince does on weekdays. In addition, please take back what you just said, the last general is also a court official, the court money he takes, the court official food he eats, he won't do anything sorry for the court, and please look at it! β
Li Xiangle is happy, and now he finds that he likes this kind of person with courage and tendon more and more. Don't say anything else, just the few words he just said, it is estimated that another person does not have the courage to tell himself directly to tell him to take it back, and only a bastard like Cheng Yanjin or Wei Chigong will say it to his face. I didn't expect to meet another one now, it's really interesting.
He looked at Yan Chun with interest, and saw that he was a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, he is a brave person, so let's do it, you are still in charge of the soldiers in the palace for the time being, remember, restrain them from spreading wilderness in the palace, no matter what happens to King Teng, this is still the palace, Your Majesty does not issue an order to take it back, and there will be no such thing as bullying the master with slavery for a day, and the official will give you this matter, and if you do it well, the official will not treat you badly." After speaking, no matter how surprised the kneeling people were, they turned around and followed Wei Zheng into the palace.
In the end, it is the place where the prince lives, and it can't be compared with Li Xiang's Taishou Mansion. The large square in front of it alone is estimated to be half the size of the Taishou Mansion, and there is a tall temple directly opposite the square. Because Yang Shu has the treatment of opening the palace and the three divisions, he can set up officials and recruit troops by himself, and this is the place where he convenes his subordinate officials to discuss the same meaning as the emperor.
Looking at these, Li Xiang felt that it would be strange if Yang Shu didn't have the intention of rebellion, he looked like the emperor all day long, and he didn't want to be the emperor one day?
Wei Zheng saw that Li Xiang was a little distracted, so he coughed lightly and said, "My lord, those things are in the dark room behind this hall, please move." β
Li Xiang nodded and followed Wei Zheng to the side hall on the right side of the main hall. The side hall looks like a small conference room, and there are many tables and chairs in it, neatly arranged on both sides. There are pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, probably for everyone to record things during the meeting.
There is also a row of weapon racks on one side of the side hall, but all kinds of weapons are complete. Li Xiang was also the first time to see many things that he had never seen, and he was a little curious for a while. Over there, Wei Zheng found that Li Xiang was distracted again, shook his head and stopped urging, and followed him to see those strange things.
In addition to the swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the weapon rack, Li Xiang saw a strange-shaped weapon, and he didn't know what it was after observing it back and forth for a long time, so he asked Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Adults don't know, how can you know it, I guess General Luo will know." β
Li Xiang thought about it, although Wei Zheng said that he knew some martial arts, but after all, he was a literati, so he didn't ask him, and beckoned a pro-soldier to ask what it was. The soldiers also watched it for a long time, and finally shook their heads with a red face, he had never seen it. Now Li Xiang is curious, you must know that although these pro-soldiers cannot be compared with generals like Luo Cheng, they are also quite powerful people.
Unexpectedly, even a weapon they had never seen, Li Xiang really couldn't figure out if this Yang Shu had the potential to be a favorite. It doesn't matter if you don't know it, wouldn't it be good to take it back and find someone to recognize it? Aren't there still two peerless masters at home!
Wherever he thinks, Li Xiang does it. Reaching out to get the weapon, who knew that he didn't pick it up, Li Xiang was a little embarrassed at this time, isn't it just a fist-sized weapon? Even if it's made of real pig iron, it's not too heavy, and it's too embarrassing for yourself. Seeing that Wei Zheng and the soldiers behind him seemed to be looking away, it was better. Then I took it again with both hands, still not moving.
Problematic! Li Xiang's first reaction was not that his strength was too small, but that there was something wrong with that thing. Most of the weapons placed here are ornaments, but they are not so bad that they can't be picked up, so what is this thing for? At this time, Wei Zheng seemed to have discovered this problem, walked up quickly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, be careful, let's call them to try." β
Li Xiang nodded and called his own soldiers to try, but he still didn't move. Now Li Xiang was sure that this thing was definitely not a weapon, but a kind of mechanism. He told his soldiers to stand back, and he looked back and forth around the weapon shelf, and found that the other weapons were all inserted on the shelf, and only this thing was placed on it.
After studying for a while, Li Xiang asked his soldiers to go up and try left and right, but he didn't expect to move this time. As things moved left and right, the wall behind the weapon rack actually creaked and moved to both sides, and in an instant, a door to a black hole appeared, and it turned out that there was also a dark room here.
Wei Zheng lowered his face now, just now he took the soldiers to look here for a long time, but he didn't find it, if Li Xiang hadn't come in, he would have almost leaked through.
Li Xiang didn't care about this, he raised his leg and was about to go in, but was pulled by Wei Zheng, and first asked his own soldiers to go in to see if there was any danger. After the pro-soldiers came out again, Li Xiang knew that it was still very big. The soldiers led the way with torches, and Li Xiang and Wei Zheng followed into the dark room.
As soon as I entered, I felt that it was very cold inside, and after walking for a while, the soldier found that there was an oil lamp on the wall, so he lit it, and in an instant the inside was bright. Li Xiang squinted his eyes and got used to it, only then did he see that his position was probably in the middle of the hall, with two doors on his left and right hands.
Signaling the soldiers to open the door on the left first, everyone's eyes are so straight, it is too tempting, all of them are gold and silver, and the boxes are neatly arranged, and a rough estimate shows that the treasury income of the entire Great Sui Dynasty in a year cannot catch up with here.
Li Xiang went in and looked at it for a long time, motioned to a few soldiers to watch here, and then walked to the door on the right, it is estimated that there are also valuable things hidden here.
When the soldiers opened the door, they found that there was a long corridor inside, and occasionally the wind could be heard, and I didn't know how long. I asked the soldiers to go in with torches, and after walking for a while, I saw that the road was actually not long, but it was just a corner, and then I saw that there were four cells on both sides!
It turns out to be a dungeon!
Li Xiang is in a very bad mood, he has been in this era for nearly two years, and he has not really entered the prison cell. The smell and the cold, damp environment made him very uncomfortable. After reading the cells one by one, the soldiers reported that there were several people locked up inside, and they despised what to do with Li Xiang.
What can I do, Li Xiang knew with his ass that the person who was locked up by Yang Xu must know some of his secrets, or he himself had some secrets that Yang Shu wanted, so he would appear here. Since they have been discovered, they can take these people out and ask for something else.
