Chapter 474: The Eve of Luoyang

Just after a battle, Li Jing was asking about Li Yuanba's state, and suddenly heard a report that a carriage was coming from outside the city to enter the city, and he immediately frowned: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to enter or leave Luoyang City." ”

Li Jing has always been cautious in the use of troops, and at this time the rebels were camped outside Luoyang City, so in order to prevent the rebels from responding to the rebels in the city, he ordered that no one should be allowed to enter or leave.

The soldiers who came to report did not leave after listening to Li Jing's words, but hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The person who came claimed to be Prince Xin of Jiayuan. ”

"No matter what...... What, you said that the person who came was Prince Jiayuan? Li Jing turned his head to look at the soldier.

"Yes...... Yes. ”

Li Jing said to Li Yuanba: "His Royal Highness King Zhao will rest first, and I'll go and have a look." ”

Li Yuanba didn't consume much physical strength in the battle just now, and when he heard that Wang Xiang was coming, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go and see it too." ”

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and he could barely see a carriage two hundred meters outside the city gate, Li Jing took out his clairvoyance and looked at it, Wang Xiang was poking out half of his head from the carriage, and waved at himself, there were torches lit on the city wall, and Wang Xiang was a capable person, and his eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, so Li Jing and Li Yuanba saw it as soon as they went up.

Seeing that it was really Wang Xiang, Li Jing waved his hand and asked the soldiers to open the door.

"Let's go inside."

Wang Xiang commanded the iron egg and drove the carriage into Luoyang City, and when they entered, the city gate was closed tightly.

"Why are you here?" Li Jing and Li Yuanba went down the city wall and saw Wang Xiang jump out of the carriage and immediately said: "Luoyang is not peaceful now, what are you doing here." ”

Wang Xiang smiled: "I have nothing to do in Chang'an, so I came over to relax." ”

The devil believes it. Li Jing said secretly, but when he saw that Li Yuanba seemed to really believe his words, he was speechless for a while.

Seeing Wang Xiangchao's eyes on himself, Li Jing knew that he had something to tell him alone. So they took him to a secret room in the barracks.

There were only two of them in the secret room. Li Jing instructed the soldiers to put away the outside. Zhengse said: "Is there any will of His Majesty?" ”

Wang Xiang nodded, took out a secret decree and handed it to Li Jing, Li Jing took the secret decree and opened it, and was immediately surprised.

"The crown prince was taken captive by the rebels?"

Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "It's been a few days of abduction. ”

Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "No one knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

"It happened that the rebels rebelled, Your Majesty didn't want to cause everyone's panic, so he concealed this matter, since the rebels only kidnapped the prince, it means that the prince is still useful to them, so they will not easily hurt the prince."

"That's just as well." Li Jing nodded and continued to read, but he was surprised after reading two lines.

"The prince is in Luoyang? Cuixiang House is a rebel force? ”

Wang Xiang continued to nod: "Chengxin has already told everything she knows, I came here this time to save the prince, and His Majesty plans to take Cuixiang Tower." ”

In the secret decree, Li Er told Li Jing to arrange a pair of capable people to secretly surround Cuixiang Building, and once Wang Xiang rescued the prince or did not come out after two hours, let him lead people to attack Cuixiang Building.

"Since Cuixianglou is a rebel force, and that Yanluo has a high status among the rebels, presumably the guards of Cuixianglou are also very strict. Isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone? Li Jing frowned, daring to hide the prince in Cuixiang Building, he didn't have to guess that he also knew that Cuixiang Mansion must be guarded by many powerful people.

Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "I will take Tie Dan to Cuixiang Mansion together, the rebels don't know that Xiangxin has already explained all the things, I have had a few encounters with Yan Luo, only bring Tie Dan over They should not be suspicious, if there are many people, once they are startled, it will be more difficult to deal with the prince as a threat." ”

Li Jing is also a decisive person, and when he heard Wang Xiang say this, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll immediately arrange for a team of capable people to secretly surround Cuixiang Building, you be careful yourself." ”

Wang Xiang smiled: "Don't worry. I'm the best at running for my life. ”

Li Jing didn't doubt this, it was no secret that Wang Xiang could disappear out of thin air and appear out of thin air. In the battle with Tubo, so many people saw him being pierced through the heart by a sharp spear, and as a result, he disappeared for a while and appeared intact, so Li Jing still believed in his ability to save his life.

After discussing with Li Jing about rescuing Li Zhi, Wang Xiang and Tie Dan quietly left the barracks and returned to the house in Cuiliu Lane, at this time there was less than half an hour left before the curfew, and now that there is a war in Luoyang, most of the people are hiding at home, so there is no one on the road.

The gourd tavern at the entrance of Cuiliu Lane has also closed, but the Daxing gambling house is still brightly lit.

When Wang Xiang's carriage appeared at the mouth of Cuiliu Alley, a pair of eyes on the second floor of the black gourd tavern noticed them, and after the carriage disappeared into the depths of Cuiliu Alley, an agile black shadow flashed from the gourd tavern and headed in the direction of Cuixiang Building.

As the largest green building in Luoyang City and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, Cuixiang Building is like a flowing water every day, even if there are rebels camped outside Luoyang City now, Cuixiang Building's business is still very hot, Yan Luo stood on the second floor of Cuixiang Building, looking at the indulgent wealthy businessmen and magnates downstairs, showing a faint disdain on his face.

At curfew, the door of the Cuixiang Building slowly closed, and Yan Luo returned to his room under Hong'er's service.

Yan Luo's heart is actually not as calm as she showed on her face, originally she planned to come to meet the outside when the rebels outside the city attacked Luoyang, but she didn't expect Li Jing to lead the army so strictly, not only blocked the city gate and strictly forbade anyone to enter and exit, but also sent heavy troops to control the main streets of Luoyang City, not giving her any chance at all, now the rebels outside the city have not been able to attack for a long time, and she has no chance to send Li Zhi out, plus she is happy to be arrested, she is also faintly anxious in her heart.

At this moment, the people who were sent out to stare at Cuiliu Lane suddenly came back and reported that Prince Jiayuan had come to Luoyang for the new time, and Yan Luo's eyes suddenly flickered.

"Do you know when he came to Luoyang and who he brought here?"

At this time, although Yan Luo was still charming and moving, the black-clothed man standing next to him was extremely respectful, and he didn't dare to have the slightest other thoughts, and hurriedly replied after listening to her question: "My subordinates have been guarding the gourd tavern and don't know when he came to Luoyang. ”

After listening to the report of the man in black, Yan Luo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "You continue to stare at the movements of Cuiliu Lane, and come back immediately to report something." ”

When the man in black left Yanluo, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said to himself: "Li Jing ordered the blockade of the Luoyang City Gate, but you came to Luoyang at this time, which is really intriguing." ”

"Miss, who is the new prince?" Hong'er saw that Yanluo seemed to be very interested in Wang Zixin, and asked curiously.

"You forgot again." Yan Luo shook his head and smiled: "Maybe I'll see him tomorrow......"
