Chapter 256: City-wide Search

Princess Changle nodded: "Sister Muxiang, we are not people who don't know how to be proportionate, no matter what happens outside, we won't go out, and we won't cause trouble for everyone." By the way, Sister Muxiang, are you going out? ”

Liu Muxiang said a little shyly: "Those Japanese people are too excessive, in order to achieve the end of the means unscrupulous, I have fought with them, I know them better, and now there is a shortage of manpower, I may be able to help in the past." ”

"Princess, I heard from karma that Sister Mu Xiang's kung fu is very high, and she has stayed in the forward camp before, and her observation is very strong, and no one can beat her." The eldest grandson Yiniang praised and said, "Now that there is a shortage of manpower, Sister Muxiang can just go to help." As for the two of us taking care of ourselves, it's a favor for everyone. ”

"Hehe, yes, Sister Muxiang, you can go with confidence. There are guards everywhere, and as long as we don't go out, there will be no danger. Princess Changle agreed, and when it came to an emergency, the two little girls could still tell the weight of the matter.

Liu Muxiang returned to her house, changed into an invulnerable dress that Changsun Chong had given her, took the spear and rode on a horse, and galloped out of the post house, just in time to meet Liu Muxiang.

At this time, Liu Muxiang was dressed as a man, but the eldest grandson Chong couldn't recognize his daughter-in-law and asked, "Muxiang, why are you here?" ”

"I'm worried about you, so come and see, is there anything I can do that can help?" Liu Muxiang asked softly, getting rid of the shyness at the beginning, now she can face it calmly.

"Of course you can, there is a shortage of manpower right now, and you came just in time." The eldest grandson Chong said in a deep voice, "This time the incident is very bad, those people have killed countless people, and we now preliminarily deduce that it was caused by the Japanese people." ”

"Why do you think so?" Yanagi asked.

"First, the Japanese people have a criminal record before; Second, it's very close to the port. It's about 30 miles away, so it's easier to transport, and it's close to the Wa Kingdom, so we think so. Changsun Chong replied.

Liu Muxiang frowned, thought for a while, and said: "No matter who did it, being able to slaughter a village can never be a person's so-called, absolutely purposeful and organized activities." Besides, with so much rice, transportation is a problem. ”

"So Your Majesty has ordered that all intersections be blocked and checked. Even the army was used. "These people will do whatever it takes to achieve what is not low. If it's just a rice grab. It doesn't hurt. If you don't kill people, Li Er won't be so angry, anyway, these rice seeds are useless, and you can't grow anything if you snatch them back, so there's nothing to worry about. But now the entire village has been slaughtered, and it was at the time of Li Erweifu's private visit. It's equivalent to slapping Li Er in the face, no wonder Li Er is so angry that he can't eat, can't sleep, and wants to chop people up with a knife in his dreams. When has he ever been insulted like this!

"Since the target is on the Wa country, the focus is on the port, let's go and have a look." Liu Muxiang suggested and drove the horse forward.

"I'm going, let's go!" The eldest grandson rushed over and got on his horse, and walked side by side with Liu Muxiang.

When he arrived at the port, Li Yexu and his people were searching for merchant ships, and now the maritime trade of Datang is very developed, not only there are Datang merchants from the south to the north, but also many merchants from Persia who eat Datang everywhere and bring them to the West for sale, back and forth, and earn high profits.

Many businessmen in the port were dissatisfied and said: "We are in a hurry, we are going to leave the port, if we delay the time, we may encounter a typhoon, which will cause a lot of losses, who do we look for!" "The man looked like he had a Persian accent.

Li Yexu was polite and polite on weekdays, very dark-bellied, walked up to this Persian with a cold face, clenched his fists, and stretched out his hand to punch, this punch took seven minutes, and the pot-bellied Persian merchant took several steps back. Lao Tzu is handling a case, where is the kung fu and how much nonsense they have, let's beat it first, and then say, it doesn't matter if you are a Persian or a big cannibal, it doesn't work here, just stay honest with me.

"Why are you beating people? Datang is a country of etiquette, and it is not right for you to do this. The Persian merchant twisted his face and roared.

Li Yexu said coldly: "Since you know that you are on the land of the Tang Dynasty, let's be honest, now there is a murderous maniac, and the whole city is under martial law, if anyone says more, it will be regarded as a suspicion of accomplice, and it will be locked up first." ”

The Persian merchant was surprised when he heard this, and said: "We are all businessmen who have come and gone to the Tang Dynasty several times, and we are by no means murderers, you can't beat people indiscriminately, I want to go to Chang'an to sue the emperor!" ”

"Whether you are a spy or not, it's not what you said, but I found out after searching." Li Yexu said coldly, "Search for me, not a single ship is allowed to be spared." Sue the royal complaint, you go to the palace of the king of Hades to sue the royal complaint. ”

The Persian merchant just now was escorted, and seeing that the people brought by Li Yexu were not like ordinary officers and soldiers, he no longer dared to call himself a big merchant, and honestly held his tail and did not speak. When other timid Persian merchants saw that their leaders had been beaten, they did not dare to come forward.

"I didn't expect General Li to have a lot of strength." Liu Muxiang smiled, as the grandson of the Tang Dynasty Army God, he should have such courage, he always felt that Li Yexu was too girly before.

"Hehe, it's also the second time I've seen Li Ye be rude!" Changsun Chong replied, and the two went to the boat.

There are a lot of things on the ship, piled up everywhere, and the officers and men are checking whether there are any rice seeds in these things. It doesn't matter if there is rice in the kitchen, but if there is rice, then I'm sorry, arrested, locked up, and interrogated carefully.

"Karma, what's the harvest now?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

Li Yexu's face was not good, he shook his head and said, "I haven't found it so far!" However, the port has been sealed, and it is only possible to leave the port after a search. ”

Changsun Chong was worried that these people had already gone to sea, and if they hadn't caught that group of people, Li Er would be dissatisfied, and they themselves would not be happy. They defended their homes and the country not only for their official positions, but also for the lives of the people.

"Keep looking, I hope these people haven't left the port yet." Eldest Sun Chong said with a sigh.

There are hundreds of large ships in the harbor, and half of them have been searched now, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to complete the search.

Yanagi squinted her eyes and slowly scanned the surrounding ships, carefully watching the behavior of the people on board, and found that there were several medium-sized ships that were not as panicked as the others. It stands to reason that seeing the officers and soldiers conducting a large-scale search should not be so calm.

"I'll go over there and see, you don't have to go out anywhere here." Liu Muxiang stepped on the side of the boat, borrowed the water, ran on the water, and rushed towards the boats.

Changsun Chong was even more surprised, knowing that Liu Muxiang's martial arts were very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high, walking on the water, is it the legendary Ling Bo microstep, water floating and other peerless light skills? The eldest grandson Chong's eyes were hot, oh my mother, if he knew how to do this, it would definitely be a spectacle in modern times.

"Brother Changsun, those boats have been searched, what are you doing sister-in-law?" Li Yexu asked curiously.

The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe she found something wrong!" By the way, karma, do you walk on water? ”

Li Yexu nodded and shook his head again.

"What do you mean?" The eldest grandson was puzzled.

"Yes, yes, but it can only be two or three feet away, not as good as my sister-in-law, just like a bird all the time, I can fly so far." Li Yexu said enviously, and admired Liu Muxiang even more.

"Hehe, the wood fragrance is very powerful. Let's hurry up and take a look, Mu Xiang is different from others, she is very observant, maybe she has discovered something, let's go and see. Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly said.

Li Yexu nodded and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

At this time, the people below came to report that there was no rice on the boat, so they got off the boat. Those Persian merchants no longer dare to chirp crookedly, the Central Plains said, heroes do not suffer immediate losses, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, see five steps and one post in the port, ten steps and one sentry, so many officers and soldiers, something big must happen, they had better be honest. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty are hospitable and polite, if they become strong, no one can afford to provoke them, and the Turks, who have always been against the Tang Dynasty, are now driven to the north of the desert, and they know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is.

The eldest grandson Chong drove the boat and followed Li Yexu over and got on the boat where Liu Muxiang was.

"Muxiang, what did you find?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

Liu Muxiang shook her head and said, "I haven't found it yet, but I don't think these people are like people who run boats on the water all year round." ”

Li Yexu rolled his eyes and saw the people standing on the deck, standing in rows, with their heads down.

"Why is it different, the face is dark, isn't it caused by often going to sea to bask in the sun?" Li Yexu was puzzled and asked rhetorically.

"Haven't you ever seen the sun bask other people's faces and don't bask their necks?" Liu Muxiang said with a chuckle.

Eldest Sun Chong and Li Yexu looked at each other, but the necks of these people were white, at least much whiter than the skin on their faces.

Li Yexu pulled down the small flag around his waist, and several official ships gradually approached.

"Is that all there is to it?" Li Yexu asked.

"I think it's not just this boat, there are four other boats next to it, it looks like it's in line with them, and it's searched carefully." Liu Muxiang reminded that Li Yexu searched the four boats several times inside and out, but did not see half a grain of rice seeds.

Liu Muxiang frowned, didn't understand what was going on?

"No rice?" Changsun Chong didn't believe it.

Li Yexu nodded and said, "No, all the places have been found, but there is still nothing." ”

"Despite their best efforts to hide, I can sense that they don't look like ordinary boatmen, and I really don't know why the rice seeds have not been searched." Liu Muxiang frowned, unable to understand.

"Will it fit into another ship?" Changsun Chong asked.

"Maybe, it's still the same as before, a search that never falls." Li Yexu began to direct his subordinates to continue the search, originally planned to release them after the inspection, but now decided to check it today, and if it is not received, it will be checked again tomorrow.
