Chang'an City, in the snow of winter, is like a creeping beast, lying quietly on the land of Guanzhong. In the most prosperous city in the world, winters are also boring. There are no colorful neon, there are just cats at home and people who don't want to go out. There was no noisy traffic and the foul smell of car exhaust, and there was a quiet winter night where the sound of snowflakes falling on the treetops could be heard.

The outer city of Chang'an City is a place where the people live in low places, only the archway in front of the houses is towering, and the snow is not really seen in this night. The palace is much taller than the outer buildings, with high and low cornices, and lanterns hanging high in the corners of the eaves swaying in the wind, shedding a dim light. Huizi scattered in the wind, leaving a faint light and shadow. The ice cubes on the cornices reflect a shining light, adding a glimmer of light to the corridors between the gloomy palaces.

Li Er was walking through this dark corridor, followed by several attendants, and hurriedly walked towards the Lizheng Palace. Now that the time is approaching, Li Er has fallen asleep, but he was woken up by Xiao Huangmen. After hearing the news from the little yellow door, regardless of the cold of the winter night, he immediately got dressed.

In the Lizheng Palace, the giant butter candle that had been lit was burning vigorously at this time, and the firelight passed through the snow-white cover, showing a white light. The entire palace was illuminated as if it was daylight, and at this time, there were already several people waiting inside, these were the masters of the highest power of the Tang Dynasty, and they were the people who were about to tremble when they stomped their feet and the entire empire.

Shangshu's left servant shot the eldest grandson Wuji was in a cold sweat at this time, and he didn't even bother to wipe it, letting them flow down his old face. Opposite him was Qin Qiong, who had been idle and retired at home. At this time, the veteran of the battlefield was wearing a military uniform and buying a pair of cooked copper hammers behind his back, and the goose feather armor on his body was shining with cold light in the firelight. The traces of swords and axes on the armor tell the story of the battle formation experienced by the master in the past. The gray beard hangs down from the chest. Although he just stood there quietly, he was like a male lion, staring at his prey, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

"Auxiliary, what the hell is going on? Why haven't things arrived yet? What went wrong? Li and the others were still outside the hall, and they were already asking questions loudly.

"Qiqi Sheng, at this time, I know that it is the dozens of soldiers who escorted things. There is also His Royal Highness the King of Chu who is still in the army, which link went wrong, and the old minister doesn't know! The eldest grandson Wuji was dripping cold sweat on the ground. Half-condensed beads of sweat fell to the ground with a snapping sound.

"Are those soldiers reliable? Is there anyone who will be the people of those people? Qin Qiong asked out loud, although his body was not as good as before, his skills were still counted in the entire Tang Dynasty. Even Wei Chigong, who was in the prime of life who named him, couldn't defeat him within thirty or fifty rounds. Not to mention the eldest grandson Wuji, who does not show his might by force, although he can also be regarded as a martial artist.

"This can't be. Those soldiers were carefully selected layer by layer. The family background is innocent, and it has to be checked until the five generations of ancestors, so if they will still be inserted into the eyeliner, then those people will be too terrifying! Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head.

Li Er walked in, and the two of them were about to step forward to salute, but Li Er directly waved his hand to excuse them.

"Is that really real?" Li Er asked. He had guessed that it would be there, but now that it had been confirmed, he had become suspicious.

"It should be true! We've had this before, and that's the biggest possibility! But I didn't expect it to happen like this. His Royal Highness the King of Chu owes this consideration! Such a thing must be absolutely thorough, how can it be sent over with such a big grin! The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed.

"If it weren't for the war report from Li Jing. We still don't know that that thing has been sent back to Chang'an as early as half a month ago, but there is not the slightest news along the way! That large group of centaurs seemed to have disappeared before they even entered the land of the Tang Dynasty! At this time, there are no people alive and no corpses, where to find this vast world? "Qin Qiong, the temporary secretary of the military department, although he is only a fictitious title, is the most well-informed person in the army. Unless the foreign war report is a great victory or a big defeat, which is an 800-mile rush all the way back, the first time the other war reports are delivered to the yamen of the military department. And although Qin Qiong was placed at home after the Xuanwu Gate, because of the habits of martial artists, he was not used to the idle days every day, so he stayed in the yamen of the military department and watched the battle reports sent by the frontier. This time Li Jing sent the final summary of the war, this thing can be light or heavy, generally speaking, the previous heavy events have been reported, and this final summary was put aside by the careless military officials.

Qin Qiong, who had nothing to do, inadvertently turned to this notebook, and in the spirit of wanting to see the details of this foreign battle, he brought home a thick notebook with dozens of pages, don't doubt whether this is reasonable, because the entire Tang Dynasty burns every day is enough to load several carts with ox carts, and these conscientious Shangshu masters of various departments have the habit of taking the notebook home for review. So Qin Qiong brought back Li Jing's recital lightly. This letter was not transmitted in the form of an eight-hundred-mile expedited form, and all such information in the army would be summarized at the military department first, and some important ones that needed Li Er's approval would be submitted to the court and let Li Er make a decision. Otherwise, where would Li Er, the emperor, have time to make a little prince and a little princess! One person splitting into several petals, or even a dozen is not enough!

Just tonight, Qin Qiong turned to the back part of the fold and saw a shocking news, in addition to the news that the king of Chu had gone deep into the grassland and the Turkic king's tent was deep in the abyss, there was also news, that is, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, had recovered the lost jade seal of the country, and had been sent to Chang'an almost a month ago.

But along the way, the news of Jieli's capture has been transmitted back for several days, but the jade seal of this country is still missing, and even the post stations along the way have no news about the Xuanjia passing by or resting all the way. This shocked Qin Qiong all of a sudden, could something have happened?

So despite the fact that it was late at night outside, he stubbornly woke up his old wife and asked her to help him put on his armor, and he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint. and sent his eldest son away, let him take his token, go to the mansion of Zhao Guogong, let the eldest grandson Wuji enter the palace, face the saint together, and discuss the matter.

After Li Er learned about the cause and effect, his face was gloomy for a while: "Someone is coming, Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Chigong, Xiao Yu entered the palace to meet him!" Forget it, forget Du Ruhui, let him recuperate! ”

As he spoke, someone outside the door took the order. Then the Lizheng Hall fell silent, and the three of them stood like this, and no one thought to sit down. Because this incident is too strange and terrifying, if it spreads, it will cause a monstrous wave again and even the world will fall into war again.

"陛xià! Has His Royal Highness the King of Chu already passed Luoyang and will return to Chang'an in the next two days? Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly asked.

"Kuan'er is about to arrive in Chang'an, and news has come from Luoyang Hou Junji!" Li Er replied with a gloomy face, and at this time he also had a trace of blaming Li Kuan in his heart. If it weren't for Li Kuan's entrustment, then this heirloom jade seal would definitely have been in his hands at this time.

"Then send someone to pick up His Royal Highness the King of Chu, ask him to come back quickly, and tell me what happened at that time, but there is a clue!" As the eldest grandson Wuji said this, a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes, and it flashed. The other two were so preoccupied with the current situation that no one noticed it.

"Here's a way! Then Dark Three, you go! Li Er said, a corner of the hall suddenly flashed, and a figure appeared on one knee. He bowed down to receive the order, and then disappeared again under the noses of the three of them.

This is also Li Er's muscles showing to the two people in front of him, these two people are the ultimate in the entire Tang Dynasty civil and military officials, the eldest grandson Wuji will not say it, the official Zhishang Shu left servant shot, plus the title of Zhao Guogong, such a prominent high-ranking official title can be described as the first product of the first product, and it can't go up any further, and then up, that is the prince. The eldest grandson Wuji can't be crowned a king with a different surname under any circumstances. This is also Li Er's limit, the prince of the entire Tang Dynasty must be surnamed Li, and there must be the blood of their Li family flowing on his body, which is the most basic prerequisite.

And Qin Qiong is almost the limit of a military general, the official to the military department is still the book, and the prince of Yiguo County, although he is no longer in charge of the soldiers and horses in his hands, he has the powerful power to control the soldiers and horses in the world. Even if his position as the secretary of the military department is just a good-looking tiger skin, but compared to the truth, everyone in the country dares not to be controlled by him, this is the rule, everyone plays in the rules, Qin Qiong does not use his rights casually, and the rest of the army generals of the Tang Dynasty must give him three points of face no matter who they are.

"Alright, wait! Waiting for Xuan Ling to arrive! When the time comes, let's think together! Li Er turned around and walked to the door of the Lizheng Palace, looking at the dark night sky, letting the wind blow the hem of his clothes, making a rustling sound.

Not long after, there was a rattling sound at the palace gate, that is, the herald had set off, the huge palace actually has very big limitations, if you want to leave the palace quickly to go out to do errands, the fastest is from the roof, if you walk down the road, I am afraid that those who are not familiar with the path will be lost in the labyrinth-like road. It looks pretty much the same all around there, and after walking for a long time, you will suspect that you are going in circles, and then you will unconsciously deviate from the direction and really turn in circles!

The eldest grandson Wuji and Qin Qiong also came out and stood behind Li Er.

"Qin Qing! Do you resent me in your heart? Li Er suddenly asked such a sentence, which made Qin Qiong, who was standing one step behind Li Er, stunned for a moment. (To be continued......)
