Chapter Eight: The Rise of Chang'an (Second Update)

The two generals left behind by Cheng Yanjin left, rode horses overnight, and set off from two different directions around the road to Chang'an. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Gone, the dagger that White used to do so, as was the box of needles at the head of the bed.

Liu Laohan clasped his hands together, he had never been as devout as he was now, praying that there would be immortals in the sky, so that those immortals could hear his prayers and bless Bai Qi with all safety.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the night is deep on the vast plain, shrouding the whole world in a secluded silence.

At some point, white went from running at the back to being surrounded by a group of soldiers in armor.

Without looking at the direction, White already knew that he was getting farther and farther away from Chang'an.

The torches began to be thrown away, and the white chess pieces were lifted to his horse by the strong leader, and a dozen people, dressed in the thick of the night, galloped in the opposite direction of Chang'an.

"You can't escape, I believe someone has already sent the news of me being tied up by you back to Chang'an!" As soon as White opened his mouth, a cold wind poured into his mouth.

No one spoke, and the leader gave a silent glance at the white pieces and picked up his pace.

After a long while, he said slowly: "We have set up an ambush on the road through Chang'an, and anyone who approaches Chang'an City tonight will become a dead corpse on the side of the road tomorrow morning!" ā€

Bai Qi's heart was shocked, which force could actually lay such a big ambush at the foot of Chang'an, and it could not be known by Chang'an Mansion? I don't know if the two people left behind by Cheng Yanjin can break through this ambush line and send the news back.

"Don't overthink it!" The leader smiled contemptuously, glanced at the white chess, and continued: "In order to catch you, we have spent a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot of threads, we just hope that you really have this value, otherwise you will ......"

"What department are you from? Why are you arresting me? Bai Qi asked curiously: "Anyway, I have fallen into your hands, a Sven man, powerless, if you want me to work for you, you have to let me know a little!" ā€

"Serve our Lord?" The leader snorted coldly: "Don't lift yourself too high!" ā€

White wanted to continue talking, but as soon as his neck hurt, the whole person fainted.

Not far away, the sound of the river was heard, and a dozen people quickly dismounted, each of them thrust a sharp arrow into the horse's buttocks, and a dozen horses galloped wildly into the deepest part of the night in pain. Four people carried white chess pieces and ran to the river, leaving two people behind to clean up the traces of passing, and a dozen people soon came to the river, where a two-story official boat was moored. In the dark night, there was no light on the official ship, like a huge monster, devouring everything around it.

In the darkness of the night, White's body moved. No one noticed that a long needle wrapped in a strip of black cloth had fallen from White's hair on the riverbank.

Ling Sanbian took off his coat stained with human blood, revealing his upper body full of scars, panting loudly, and at his feet were five Turkic corpses in night clothes.

"Fourth, this is already the fourth interception, the closer you get to Chang'an, the more this group of Turkic madmen will be. I'll attract them in a while, you get into the dog hole under Chang'an City, and you must pass the news of Xiao Langjun's robbery to the general! Ling Sanbian said to Fan Fu beside him.

"Third brother, then be careful!" Fan Fu bit a dagger, his left arm was bandaged with a cloth, and he was stabbed in the arm by a Turkic man before: "Grandma's, if you don't die this time, you will definitely make this group of Turkic dogs look good!" ā€

Before the two of them approached the Chang'an City Wall, more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly appeared from the ground, trees, and other places, and Ling Sanbian shouted and stopped the group of black-clothed people alone.

"Fourth, it's up to the third brother to see if he can live with you!"

Fan Fu didn't look back, wiped away the tears he shed, and responded loudly: "Third brother, if you leave, don't want Lao Tzu to pay you back!" ā€

"Stinky boy, leave the money for me, Lao Tzu will use it to marry his daughter-in-law!" Ling Sanbian suddenly became ferocious, and with a single sword, he cut a man in black into two pieces from beginning to end, and immediately blood splashed on his face, and the whole person was like a demon returning from hell, instantly shocking the other men in black.

In the northeast corner of the Chang'an city wall, a dog hole surrounded by rusty barbed wire appeared in front of Fan Fu's eyes.

Regardless of the danger of being stabbed by the rusty wire, Fan Fu pulled open the barbed wire with all his might, and the whole person crawled in.

On his back, a long wound stretched from the left side of his body to the right, and bright red blood flowed out of the wound, flowing all over the ground as Fan Fu ran.

"Who's up ahead!" A team of Wuhou in front rushed over from the corner.

"Second baby, it's your Uncle Fan!"

"Ah, Uncle Fan, what's wrong with you!" A young Wuhou rushed up and was shocked when he saw the wound on Fan Fu's back.

"Quick, send me to Chengguo's mansion! Also, three miles outside the Suzaku Gate, your third uncle is fighting with more than a dozen Turkic dogs, find someone to help! I'm going to collect his body when it's too late! ā€

The second baby didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates, sent Fan Fu to Cheng Guogong's mansion, and instructed his subordinates to report the situation here to Fu Yin, and then find other martial artists by himself, and go out of the city overnight to support Ling Sanbian.

"Bang!" There was a sound of things breaking apart from the Liangyi Hall.

Outside the Liangyi Palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, trembling and kneeling on the ground.

"The Turks have all come to the foot of Chang'an and taken my people from the Tang Dynasty captive, and you have only now found out what you usually do!" On the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin was furious and had already smashed several vases.

"Wuji, order Jing Zhaoyin to unite with Dali Temple, immediately send the best catcher, we must find out the ins and outs of the matter, tomorrow, I want to see the results! In three days, you have to get the white pieces back for me! ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji answered, and immediately went down to make preparations.

"Zhijie, let Chu Mo take Zuo Wuwei into the Turkic tribe and beat him hard!"

"Yes!" Cheng Yanjin glanced at Taizong, and then said: "At this juncture, the Turks suddenly took away the white chess, I'm afraid it's not simple!" ā€

"According to the ability of the Turks, they can't sneak into the hinterland of my Tang Dynasty so quietly, they must have something to do!" Qin Shubao said suddenly.

"The new waterwheel, the quyuan plow, the papermaking technique, the auspicious potato, and the current salt-making method are all what I need in Datang! Maybe the Turks want white to do things for them, so for the time being, he'll be fine! Li Jing, who was squinting, said suddenly.

"The pharmacist is right, whether it is for the Tang Dynasty or the Turks, this kid is a treasure!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and then as if he thought of something, he shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Hmph, my Datang has just started to improve, and some fleas have begun to hold back!" ā€

The Son of Heaven is not angry but mighty, and the entire Chang'an City is trembling under his dragon power tonight.

The Turks who were ambushed outside Chang'an City were wiped out by the Praetorian Guards, and Ling Sanbian was injured and was already unconscious when he was rescued, which made Li Shimin furious again, and sent the imperial doctor in the palace to treat Ling Sanbian and Fan Fu, who was already unconscious, overnight.

The next morning, Jing Zhaoyin and the recitals of Dali Temple had been placed on the table. The Scribe and the Cloak knelt in front of the main hall. Yu Wenyan's head was placed in front of him, his eyes were still wide open, as if he didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his own family.

Li Shimin sat on the Luan Hall and rubbed his forehead with his hand. He has already read the piece jointly sent by Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple, Yu Wenyan has been providing information to the Turks for a long time, and secretly sold iron tools to the Turkic tribes, this time he provided the news, handed over the information of the white chess to the Turks, and used himself as a cover to bring the Turks in.

"Lu Zheng, how is Yu Wenshi and what?" Li Shimin asked the eunuch next to him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yuwen has been kneeling outside the main hall since last night."

"Hmph, then let him kneel! If there is such a rebellion in the family, this sin must be borne by the head of his family! Li Shimin shook his sleeves and walked towards the harem, and Lu Zheng hurriedly followed behind.

Li Shimin returned to the main hall of the East Palace, and the eldest grandson queen greeted him from inside.

"Can the pheasant slave sleep?" Li Shimin walked to the bed and saw that Li Zhi was sleeping sweetly, so he took the hand of his eldest grandson, put a windbreaker on her, and walked outside and sat down.

Empress Changsun took a bowl of lotus seed soup from the palace maid: "Your Majesty, this is the lotus seed soup cooked by the concubine for Your Majesty." ā€

Li Shimin smiled and took the bowl from the hand of Empress Changsun, took a bite, and said, "It's still Guanyin who understands my heart!" ā€

The eldest grandson smiled slightly: "Yu Wenshi and the Lord have been kneeling in front of the main hall for a night, so what's the matter?" ā€

"Hmph, a relative of his family covered the Turks to come to Chang'an City, and kidnapped the kid named Baiqi!" Li Shimin was very angry when he talked about this incident.

The eldest grandson raised her eyebrows lightly, and there was a majesty of her own: "Then Lord Yuwen really has to kneel down to set an example!" According to His Majesty's recent words, that white chess is indeed a rare talent, has it been found now? ā€

"Jingzhao Mansion sent the best head catcher, and found the horse left by the Turks twenty miles away from Taoyuan Village, and then found a long needle left by the kid at the river beach not far away, and now he has searched down the river!"

At this time, Lu Zheng's voice suddenly came in from outside the Lizheng Palace: "Your Majesty, there is news of the Bai Family Langjun!" ā€

Li Shimin glanced apologetically at Empress Changsun, immediately stood up, and strode out of the door with the latter's smile.

"Where are the people?"

"Someone saw one of Yu Wenyan's subordinates appear in Luoyang City, buy some daily necessities, and return to an official boat carrying salt on the Luohe River."

"Oh, the official ship that transports salt?" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Spread my will, immediately arrest the key criminals, and save the white chess!" In addition, Xuanzhijie and the eldest grandson Shunde came to see me! ā€

Li Shimin came out of the Liangyi Palace, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the cold morning breeze blew in his face.

"Since you want to stop me from rising up the Tang Dynasty, then don't blame me for cutting off one of your hands first!"
