Chapter 220 Chang'an City Gate

Ying Xuan was staying in a post house in a daze at the moment, although he hadn't slept all night, he was not sleepy at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, he was going to go to the Princess's Mansion to temporarily avoid the limelight, but who knew that he met Sun Cheng and others who were rushing back on the way, according to Sun Cheng, Liu Zi specially sent a few people to wait on the road leading to the Princess's Mansion, as long as he found someone close to the Princess's Mansion, he immediately stopped him.

The reason is that the princess's mansion is no longer safe, and many people are snooping on the side, so Liu Zi had no choice but to make this decision and find a place for them to live in advance.

After visiting Li Xinfang, Ying Xuan summoned everyone: "Soon after dawn, the city gate has just opened, why don't we take advantage of the flow of people to go out."

Maybe...... Maybe they haven't blocked the gates yet. ”

Liu Wei had just come back from outside at the moment, shook his head and said: "I just came back from the city gate, and at this time, a checkpoint has been set up downstairs in Hengmen City, if we go out rashly, what if we meet someone who has seen you!"

"Shall we go out through the other gates, then?" Zhang Jing asked anxiously.

Liu Wei took a sip of water and talked eloquently: "You don't know, there are a total of twelve gates in Chang'an City, and each gate has three doorways.

The east side from north to south is Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate, Bacheng Gate; The south side is from east to west respectively covered with Anmen, Anmen, Xi'an Gate; The north side is from west to east respectively Hengmen, Chucheng Gate, Luocheng Gate; The west is Yongmen, Zhicheng Gate, and Zhangcheng Gate from north to south.

Four of the gates lead directly to the palace, and the remaining eight doors each lead to the main street of the city, and the three doorways correspond to the three roads of the main street. The middle road is for His Majesty, and the roads on both sides are for officials and the common people.

And Her Royal Highness the princess chose to go out of the city from Hengmen is also very particular. Hengmen Street separates the east and west cities on both sides, and this gate is the gate that has the most people in and out of the city, and it is the most mixed with fish and dragons, and it is also the most promising for you to get through the barrier. ”

Ying Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "But in this situation, even if it is a princess, what can it do, not to mention that both Lu Lu and Lu Chan have an enmity with her, not only will they not be accommodating to her, but they will intensify their strict search for her!"

"So after the matter is completed, the prince can remember everything the princess has done, even if His Royal Highness is sorry for the world, he has never been sorry for you."

Liu Zi personally commanded and made all preparations to go out of the city, and the two carriages with the logo of the princess's mansion stopped at the gate.

Before leaving, Chen Wu spoke again: "Your Highness, you have done your best to help Qin Hei, if you let the Empress Dowager know, not only you, but the entire princess mansion will be implicated, is it worth it?"

Liu Zi looked up at the sky, and said with a little sadness: "This palace is desperate, if you are worried about being affected, after I leave, you should also leave Chang'an as soon as possible."

Chen Wu arched his hand and said: "His subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they will follow the princess to the death!"

Liu Zi only bowed slightly, and there was not a trace of ripples on her face.

Chen Wu was unwilling, and said loudly at the carriage: "Your Highness is sympathetic to your subordinates, Chen Wu is grateful to Dade, but he still wants to do his best for His Highness, His Highness refuses to tell Qin Hei's residence, can you tell your subordinates which gate will they go out of the city?"

"Hengmen!" The sound was instantly mixed with the sound of rolling wheels.

Chen Wu laughed at the two carriages, and when the carriages disappeared from view, he took the reins and whip from the hands of his cronies, turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped towards the Huling Houfu.

Lu Lu had already received the news of Ying Xuan's success in saving people in advance, and Zhao Xin ordered the city gate defenders to block the city gate, which was a warrant to act on behalf of the city, he turned a blind eye, in addition to arresting Ying Xuan, he also wanted to find evidence of Liu Zi's collusion with Qin Hei.

Previously, Lu Chan sent someone to send the news that Liu Zi's subordinates were visiting Li Xinfang, and now Liu Zi's henchmen personally sent the news that Liu Zi would use the carriage of the princess's mansion in Hengmen to send Qin Si and others out of the city.

This is what Chen Wu has seen with his own eyes, and he will never be fake. Liu Zi, Liu Zi, have you experienced the fate of betrayal and separation?

For the sake of insurance, Lu Lu asked Li Ji to take Zhang Zhong to Hengmen, Zhang Zhong, Peng Xian, and Sun Chao were all old subordinates of Qin Si Yingxuan, but Zhang Zhong accompanied Yingxuan in Chang'an for a long time, and he also knew Yingxuan's other subordinates very well.

In short, this time, not only did he get Qin Si and the treasure map early, but he also had to catch Liu Zi's collusion with Qin Si!

When Li Ji arrived at the downstairs of Hengmen City, he saw Zhao Xin urging the soldiers to check the passing people from a distance, so he walked over with a smile: "General Zhao is really conscientious, but the city gate defenders belong to the Northern Army, so there must be no need for your Southern Army to intervene, right?"

Zhao Xin raised his hands: "This is the Empress Dowager's decree, if you don't believe it, you might as well go to the palace and ask."

"Hmph, even if that's the case, the dignified city gate guards can't just be an ornament! From now on, your men will check the streets to the east, and the streets to the west will be handed over to us.

Whoever can catch Qin Si and have the last laugh depends on their respective abilities! Li Ji didn't care whether Zhao Xintong agreed or not, led Zhang Zhong to the west, and drove all Zhao Xin's men and horses back to the east.

The deputy general beside Zhao Xin couldn't stand it, and said angrily: "This person has no official or position, and his father is just a bedridden Qu Zhouhou who doesn't care about political affairs, how dare he be so arrogant to the general!"

Moreover, the general had guessed early on that Qin Si would choose to go out of the city, but how did they know about it? ”

Zhao Xin looked at Li Ji in the distance, and said coldly: "Don't underestimate him, this person is especially good at disguise, knows how to keep his light and obscure, and is a celebrity in front of Lu Lu, not an ordinary person."

As for Qin Si's movements, it is not difficult to guess, if they want to get out of the city, they only have a chance to go out of the city, and if they choose other gates, it is equivalent to throwing themselves into the net.

Go, send a few more spies to the end of the street, and try to force them out of the city from our side of the road if they encounter the carriage of the princess's mansion. ”

"General, since the princess is determined to help Qin Si, then the carriage of the princess's mansion may be carrying Qin Si and others, why don't we just stop them?"

Zhao Xin said: "There is a disturbance there, once the other party resists and escapes into the crowd, it will be difficult to arrest them again."

And after all, she is the princess of Yiyang of the Han Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager is especially fond of her, once there is no Qin Hei and others in the carriage that we are looking for, and then she bites back in front of the Empress Dowager, then we will be in big trouble.

Lure them to the gates of the city, and when they are examined, they will be tempted and tempted, and then they will decide whether to do it or not! ”

The adjutant general beckoned dozens of soldiers to take the order, and he had already thought of a countermeasure, planning to set up a checkpoint at the end of the street, and the carriage could only drive on the east street.

About an hour later, someone shouted, "Look!"

Li Ji looked up and saw that two luxurious carriages were driving slowly opposite, and he was about to reach the checkpoint set up by Zhao Xin.

"Zhang Zhong, you continue to check here, I'll go over and take a look."

"Zhang Zhong? Zhang Zhong? ”

"Zhang Zhong, why are you in a daze?"

Zhang Zhong came back to his senses and arched his hand: "No, please rest assured, the little marquis, Zhang Zhong will never miss a person."

After Li sent away, he rushed to a few people who were about to leave the city: "Let's go, don't enter the city if you don't have anything to do in the future, come and let them go!"
