After listening to Wang Xiang's explanation, Lao Cheng looked surprised and said: "Is there really someone who can confuse other people's minds?" ”

Zhang Cheng also seemed a little hard to believe.

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "There are strange people who are invulnerable to a thousand catties, so why is it strange that they can confuse other people's minds." ”

"That's just as well." Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "If that's the case, it seems that General Xu was indeed confused by others before he ordered Maozhou to join the rebels, and General Xu was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he actually ......"

"His grandmother's, those rebels are really not good things." Lao Cheng couldn't help but curse angrily.

Wang Xiang shook his head and smiled, and asked: "By the way, there is only one Maozhou, why can't Uncle Cheng take it in person?" Aren't there several strange people in Lingnan? ”

Hearing this question, Lao Cheng was even more angry, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, somehow there are more strange people in the Maozhou rebels than us, and two more small states and counties have been occupied by them in the past two days, if it weren't for me Lao Cheng to help you guard Qianzhou and Xunzhou, I'm afraid they will be occupied by them." ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiang was surprised: "How can there be such strange people in Maozhou? When Tubo attacked before, when Lord Zhang summoned all parts of Lingnan to defend, he hadn't heard of any strange people in Maozhou. ”

Zhang Cheng sighed and said: "The strange people in Maozhou must have been sent by the rebels, so the soldiers of Maozhou have no way to take refuge in them." ”

Wang Xiang nodded and felt that there was only this possibility: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Lao Cheng snorted: "You don't have to worry about it, I have already sent someone to send a letter for His Majesty to send reinforcements." Aren't you here to pick up your daughter-in-law, hurry up and pick up someone and get out, I'm afraid there will be a big battle here in a few days. ”

"Uh......" Wang Xiang scratched his head embarrassedly. He whispered, "Actually, I can also stay and help." ”

Lao Cheng said disgustedly: "You better hurry up and take someone back to Chang'an." Last time, you were shot by a short spear from Tibet, and your majesty was so angry that you almost led your troops to attack Tibet. ”

Wang Xiang is also a saying. His little strength really didn't play a role, and even if he was willing to help Wu Shun and Xiao Lori, he didn't agree, and what happened last time hit them too hard.

"Okay, I'll leave for Chang'an tomorrow, I'll bring a few powerful strange people over, so I'll stay and help Uncle Cheng."

This time, Lao Cheng did not refuse, although Lao Cheng looked like Lao Tzu's most beautiful all day long, but he knew in his heart that strange people were powerful. The reason why he was at a disadvantage in the battle with Maozhou was because he didn't have many strange people in his hands.

"It's not calm everywhere now, no one is protecting you, can your kid return to Chang'an safely?"

"It's enough for me to bring one iron egg, and the others will stay to help Uncle Cheng deal with the rebels."

The strength of the iron egg is much stronger than before, and the three or five people with ordinary abilities are not his opponents, since the hunting team of the Jiayuan base cooperates with the Sanqi base to hunt in the shallow sea Wang Xiang has more and more spars in his hands, and he is naturally not stingy with the person he trusts the most, and the strength of the iron egg has been greatly improved after absorbing a large number of spars.

Although the rebels are powerful, most of the places are still the land of the imperial court, and besides, the small rebels they target will not notice them, and there is basically no danger with the protection of iron eggs.

The next day, Wang Xiang took Wu Shun and Xiao Lori and others to set off back to Chang'an. In order not to attract attention, it was in an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. When the sky was slightly bright, he left Lingnan and went all the way north.

After a period of transformation, Xunzhou has long become a paradise-like place, coupled with convenient and comfortable modern equipment, Xiao Lori was very reluctant to leave, Wang Xiang comforted her and waited until she returned to Chang'an to take her to have a good time.

There were no big bags and small bags to salute, only some food, a large carriage was enough, Tie Dan and Aqinu took turns driving, and the others honestly made the carriage and headed towards Chang'an.

After walking for a long time, after eating at noon, Xiao Loli's depressed mood was finally relieved, and she chirped and asked questions.

"Brother-in-law, did the young slave really become the prince?" Li Zhi is her best playmate, and when she heard that he was the prince, Xiao Lori was naturally very curious, and this was the third time she had asked.

Wang Xiang shook his head helplessly.

"It's true, didn't I tell you everything." He didn't tell them about Li Zhi's abduction.

Little Lori pouted, "But...... How could a slave become a prince? He's so stupid. ”

Hearing this, Wu Shun patted Xiao Lori's head and said softly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is now the crown prince, don't be as unreasonable as before." ”

"What, even if the young slave becomes the prince, I am also his Xiaowu sister, don't you say, brother-in-law?" Little Lori proudly tilted her little head.

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, you are still the Ruyi princess of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Hee-hee." Little Lori suddenly smiled.

"Brother-in-law, how could the young slave suddenly become a prince at that time?" Little Lori obviously couldn't figure it out.

"The crown prince rebelled and was deposed by His Majesty as the crown prince, and the crown prince's position could not be vacant forever, so he became the crown prince."

"What about King Wu and King Wei, why didn't Your Majesty let them be the crown prince?"

After listening to Xiao Loli's question, Wu Shun also looked at Wang Xiang with a curious face, after all, whether it is in terms of age or talent, Li Ke, King of Wu, and Li Tai, King of Wei, are more suitable for the position of prince than Li Zhi, and Li Er's handing over the position of prince to Li Zhi is indeed very surprising.

"We don't have to worry about the royal affairs."

In a word, Wu Shun didn't ask any more, and seeing that Xiao Lori was still not satisfied, Wang Xiang smiled: "What, don't you like a young slave to be the prince?" ”

Little Lori tilted her head and thought about it: "Of course I like it, the young slave listens to me the most, the young slave becomes the prince, I have a prince brother, and when the young slave becomes the emperor, I will have an emperor brother, see who dares to bully me." ”

Looking at the triumphant look of the little Lori, Wu Shun pulled her over and couldn't help but smile: "You, does anyone dare to bully you now." ”

"It doesn't seem like yes."

Hearing this, a burst of laughter broke out in the carriage, and little Lori was proud and shy.

After five days of driving, the carriage carefully bypassed Yangzhou and entered the Luoyang territory, and it was not far from Chang'an.

The rebels are getting stronger and stronger, and in a few days, several prefectures and counties have taken refuge in the rebels, and a large number of rebels have been transferred to Yangzhou, with great intentions to attack Luoyang, Luoyang has entered a state of alert in the whole city, and Li Jing personally led the troops to guard Luoyang.

When the carriage came to the gate of Luoyang City, he saw that there were several times more soldiers patrolling outside the city gate than usual, and Wang Xiang showed the token and entered the city smoothly.

Looking at Wu Shun and Xiao Lori, who were tired, Wang Xiang said: "It's not too early today, let's rest in Luoyang for one night, and go back to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

After several days of hurrying, most of them were camping outside, and everyone felt tired and nodded when they heard the words.
