After sending the three away, Li Tao arranged for Pei Yue to call Zhang Zhao and Li Wenjiao.

"That's the case, what do you two think?" Li Tao had already regarded the two of them as his own, and he did not hide anything.

The two pondered bitterly.

At this moment, Pei Yue quietly entered the house and said, "Little master, someone from Chang'an is here!" ”

"Great, Liu Lao must have sent someone here! Please come in! ”

When the visitor appeared in front of Li Tao, Li Tao was taken aback: "Mr. Liu, why did you come in person?" ”

"I'm not at ease when I send someone else!" Liu Xuan said with a dusty face.

If Liu Xuan had any news in the past, he always sent someone to deliver the letter quickly, and he must have encountered a big incident when he came in person at such an old age regardless of fatigue.

Li Tao helped Liu Xuan to sit in front of the seat, and personally poured him a cup of tea: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, drink saliva first." ”

Liu Xuan put down the tea bowl and said hurriedly: "Li Xiaolangjun, something is wrong......

……

Somehow, Empress Wei knew that Li Tao, the son of the former crown prince Li Chongjun, appeared in Luzhou, and she hurriedly ordered the Criminal Department to send personnel to arrest Li Tao. Zhang Jiafu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was picked up by Empress Wei, and when he received Empress Wei's edict, how dare he slack off, and quickly sent elite soldiers and strong generals to Luzhou to arrest Li Tao.

Liu Xuan was anxious and hurriedly asked Cui Yu for help. Cui Xiang didn't say a word after listening to it, and went to Jin to see Zhongzong overnight, but because it was too late, Cui Xiang couldn't enter the palace. In desperation, Cui Xiang looked for Shangguan Wan'er again, and only through Shangguan Wan'er Cui Xiang did he meet Zhongzong.

Zhongzong listened to Cui Xiang's report, was stunned for a while, and then let Cui Xiang go back.

Liu Xuan didn't know what Zhongzong's attitude was, so he went to see King Xiang and Princess Taiping, told them about the matter, and asked them to find a way to rescue Li Tao. After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Xuan rushed to Luzhou to report the news in person in order to keep it secret.

……

After hearing this, Li Tao pondered: "So, the main lord hasn't arrived in Luzhou yet!" ”

"It should be, I took three horses all the way without a little delay to arrive in Luzhou, and the people of Empress Wei estimate that they will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest!" Liu Xuan nodded.

"I know, Mr. Liu, you go down and rest first!" Li Tao said calmly.

"What do you think?" Li Tao looked at Zhang Zhao and Li Wenjiao.

"The key now lies in Your Majesty's attitude, if Your Majesty allows it to be left unchecked, our master, our situation will be very bad. If Your Majesty makes a move, it will be a turning point! Zhang Zhao said bluntly.

"But how can we know His Majesty's attitude?" It can be seen that Li Wenjiao agrees with Zhang Zhao's opinion.

Zhang Zhao glanced at Li Tao and did not speak.

"It's all on this, what are you afraid of, just say it!" Li Tao smiled bitterly at Zhang Zhao.

"Wait!" Zhang Zhao gently spit out a word.

"Wait?" Li Tao pondered.

Li Wenjiao wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know what Zhang Zhao meant by waiting. Empress Wei and His Majesty got the news that Li Tao was in Luzhou, and if His Majesty made a move, then the people he sent and the people sent by Empress Wei would rush to Luzhou at about the same time. At that time, it will be known about His Majesty's attitude. However, there is also a risk to wait. If His Majesty the Emperor had not had any attitude and had not sent anyone, then only the fish would have broken the net.

Thinking of this, Li Wenjiao still couldn't help but say: "Little master......"

Li Tao waved his hand and said, "Uncle Li, I understand what you mean, I decided, let's wait and see!" ”

Li Wenjiao saw Li Tao's resolute attitude, so he stopped talking.

"Still, we're going to have to be just in case!" Li Tao's voice changed and said: "Uncle Li, you took my aunt and Jingjing Suona to the racecourse overnight today, and I, Zhang Zhao, and Uncle Yue are waiting here for people from Chang'an!" ”

"Little master, this ......" Li Wenjiao was anxious.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I have my own way to get out. If things don't go well, I'll find a way to meet you! Li Tao said confidently.

At this moment, Pei Yue came in again, followed by Fan Changfeng.

"Ah Tao, no, Uncle Dong is gone!" Fan Changfeng said anxiously.

"What's going on?" Li Tao frowned.

"In the morning, Uncle Dong took his buddy to Zuixian Building, and the guy was knocked unconscious on the street, and Uncle Dong was gone. When the man woke up, he came to report the news, and I sent a lot of people to look for it, but I didn't find it, so I came to you! ”

Li Tao glanced at Zhang Zhao and Li Wenjiao, there was no doubt that it must have been done by that group.

Li Tao pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Wenjiao: "Uncle Li, without further ado, you go and arrange it now, Jiulang, Lao Nie, and Xi everyone, all of our people will withdraw to the horse farm with my aunt tonight."

"What about Uncle Dong?" Li Wenjiao said a little uneasy.

"Uncle Dong's affairs will be handled by me!"

"Yes, little master!" Li Wenjiao and Fan Changfeng turned around and left.

……

At the end of the day, the lights in Li Tao's house were still on, and he and Zhang Zhao did not feel a trace of sleep.

"They're all gone, we don't have any worries now!" Li Tao muttered to himself.

"If the master thinks about it again, it's really not okay to hide first!" Zhang Zhao also felt bottomless at this time.

"Is hiding a solution? How can you hide for a while? Li Tao shook his head and said, "I can't hide from this, but I can't bear to let you be implicated for me." ”

Zhang Zhao got up and said: "The master's words are outside, I will follow the master in this life." ”

Li Tao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Zhang Zhao, you said that these people are excusable for coming at me, why do you want to kidnap Uncle Dong?" ”

Zhang Zhao also felt strange: "This is also what I don't understand!" ”

"Who!" Pei Yue's shouts came from outside the house.

Li Tao and Zhang Zhao were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly went out of the house, but saw Pei Yue standing in the courtyard with a sword.

"Uncle Yue, what's going on?"

"Little master, someone threw a dart, I was afraid of the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so I didn't catch up." With that, Pei Yue handed a dart to Li Tao.

There was a folded paper on the dart, Li Tao went back to the house and opened the paper, there were only a few numbers on it, and after looking at it carefully by the light, his face showed a strange expression.

"Master, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhao asked.

Li Tao didn't speak, just handed the letterhead in his hand to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao looked at it, and the expression on his face was also unpredictable.

……

In a house in Luzhou City, a row of five corpses is being placed in the courtyard.

"Did you find anything?" Li Tao asked.

Last night, Li Tao received a letter from a dart, informing Dong Fei that he was hiding in this house. Li Tao took Zhang Zhao and Pei Yue to the military mansion immediately, and surrounded the mansion with Zhang Wei. When they rushed into the courtyard, they found that except for Dong Fei, the rest of the people were all dead. Because it was very late at night, Li Tao suggested that Zhang Wei send someone to seal off the courtyard first, and then come to the Kancha scene after dawn.

As soon as dawn came, they arrived at the scene.

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "They seem to be people from Princess Anle's mansion!" ”

"Princess Anle?" Li Tao frowned and said, "How do you know that they are from Princess Anle's mansion?" ”

"They're all wearing belt badges!" After that, Zhang Wei handed over five bronze waist cards.
