At the end of the hour, this time was when the people were most asleep, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were also drowsy and couldn't stop nodding their heads one by one.

At this time, a figure sneakily came to the city wall, his body clinging to the city wall, his chest rising and falling violently, panting.

The black-clothed man clinging to the city wall was the crown prince Li Heng, and at this time he was about to go out from the city gate to Lingzhou.

Li Heng knows some martial arts, but he is not very good, and it is impossible to fly the eaves and walk the wall, so he can only sneak out at night and this sleepy hour.

Li Heng tiptoed to the city gate, the four soldiers were dozing with spears, Li Heng tiptoed past the four people, and the winning side was the bolt of the city gate.

Li Heng did not choose the Mingde Gate where An Lushan came in, the city gate there had been broken and there would inevitably be a serious illness guarding it, so he chose the relatively safe Yanping Gate, which belongs to the secondary gate, that is, the side gate, although there are also soldiers stationed there, but not as many as the four main gates.

Li Heng lifted the deadbolt vigorously, and a whole thick piece of wood was lifted up by Li Heng with all his might, but it was slightly lifted, the bolt was too heavy, and under normal circumstances, the three of them still needed to lift it together, and it would be good for him to be a pampered prince who could lift it a little.

As the so-called one blow, he didn't lift it up the first time, and he lost his strength even more the second time, and Li Heng gave up after trying a few times.

The first one didn't work, and Li Heng could only retreat, and the second way out of the city was the second way.

He hurried to the Jinguang Gate by detour, and avoided the soldiers patrolling the city along the way, the Jinguang Gate is the main gate in the west of Chang'an, and there will be a lot more soldiers guarding it than Yanping Gate, but there is a culvert near the Jinguang Gate that leads to the river outside the city, and Li Heng's second strategy is to get out of the city from the culvert.

Li Heng came to the culvert, he did not dare to enter the water at the entrance of the city gate, so he came to the vicinity of Xishi, where there was no one around a small lake, so he jumped down the culvert and swam out of the city.

An inconspicuous thin bamboo stick was erected on the culvert and floated slowly, the bamboo stick was hollow, it was a tool that Li Heng used to breathe underwater, the night was vast and people were sleepy, no one found this thin bamboo stick along the way, Li Heng came to the city smoothly along the way.

When he came to the outside of the city, he did not come out of the water, but swam forward for a while, and only came ashore after making sure that he was some distance from the city wall.

Li Heng glanced back at Chang'an City, where he had always lived, and Chang'an City under the night sky was still towering like a huge sleeping beast.

"When I come back, it will be the end of his An Lushan!"

Li Heng muttered, and then left Chang'an without looking back and headed towards Lingzhou.

Li Longji led a long line towards Lingzhou Blonde, and Li Heng chose the same path as Li Longji, because this road was the closest road to Lingzhou.

Sure enough, early in the morning of the third day, the sound of horses' hooves came into everyone's ears from far and near, and Li Longji had already become a frightened bird, and hurriedly called someone to take a look.

At this time, Li Heng's horse had already arrived in front of the team, and everyone withdrew their defenses as soon as they saw that it was the prince.

Li Heng walked briskly down the aisle, Li Longji bowed beside him and said, "Father, An Lushan has already entered Chang'an City." ”

Li Longji nodded as if he had expected it, and then asked, "...... the people in the city?"

"Father, An Lushan did not embarrass the people."

"That's good, it's not in vain that I left him the money, just to let him spare the people."

After that, neither of them spoke, before Li Heng did not listen to the order to stay in Chang'an City without authorization, and even turned his face with Li Longji, this move made Li Longji a little unhappy, Li Heng saw that Li Longji had nothing to say and retired.

Originally, Li Heng wanted to rush to Lingzhou alone, which would be much faster, but who knew that the route chosen by the two groups was the same, and it was impossible for Li Heng to go alone after encountering them.

The team was still marching, and this day finally came to a historic place, Ma Weiyi.

Li Longji ordered Gao Lishi to let the army rest on the spot and stop advancing.

Ma Wei post is just an ordinary post station, the specifications and environment are no different from other post stations, there is a peach blossom forest and an octagonal pavilion outside the post station, the only difference is that there is a small Buddha hall in the post station, which is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The army was stationed here, and Yunu would recite Buddhist scriptures in the Buddha Hall every day, but things also happened in this Buddha Hall.

On this day, Chen Xuanli, the general of the forbidden army Longwu, suddenly came to the room of the crown prince Li Heng, Li Heng was writing and drawing in front of the bookcase at the moment, and he was thinking about how to attack Chang'an and capture Chang'an City.

"Minister Chen Xuanli see His Royal Highness the Prince." Chen Xuanli bowed after entering the room.

"General Chen, is there anything wrong with finding Gu?" Li Heng put down the pen in his hand and looked up at him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the soldiers under the minister asked the minister to kill Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan brothers and sisters immediately, and the minister had no choice, so he came to ask His Royal Highness the Prince for help." Chen Xuanli said anxiously.

"So ?!!" Li Heng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized the seriousness of the matter, if what Chen Xuanli said was the truth, then this is the rhythm of the mutiny, this is not a trivial matter.

"Is what you say true?! You'll have to think about it. Li Heng looked at Chen Xuanli with a very solemn expression, now the only army escorted is the forbidden army, if the forbidden army mutinies, then it is likely to kill Li Longji and even himself.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, what the minister said is true, the matter has been happening for several days, and the soldiers of the forbidden army are all rumoring that An Lushan's rebellion is directly related to Yang Guozhong, and it was Yang Guozhong who provoked this incident, so if you want to stop the rebellion, you must kill Yang Guozhong and his sister Yang Yuhuan." Chen Xuanli said.

Prince Li Heng frowned, he has also heard about it these days, when he was in Chang'an City, he also heard the people say that the initiator of this rebellion was Yang Guozhong, he and An Lushan have always been at odds, the two are-for-tat with each other, and when An Lushan led the troops outside, Yang Guozhong did not go to An Lushan, most of An Lushan's rebellion was aimed at Yang Guozhong, and this Yang Guozhong and himself also have an inextricable mortal enmity.

Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu once jointly wronged the crown prince Li Heng, and killed many of his cronies and even hundreds of families, causing irreversible damage to Li Heng, Li Heng wanted to kill this person immediately, but now is not the time, at this time to kill Yang Guozhong is not right, some are too cheap Yang Guozhong.

Who was the original instigator of this? Did you find it? Li Heng asked Chen Xuanli.

"I don't know, but this matter soon spread throughout the forbidden army, and now everyone knows about it, and the soldiers are all indignant and want to kill him first and then quickly." Chen Xuanli said that he originally disagreed, but the fact is just as the soldiers rumored, if it weren't for Yang Guozhong's pampering and arrogance to go to An Lushan many times, An Lushan might not have rebelled, and the initiator of everything was Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong has long been at odds with An Lushan, and has written to Li Longji many times that An Lushan is actually a mercenary who is planning to rebel when he is leading troops outside, and Li Longji does not care, thinking that the two will be at odds, and this is exactly the case.

But then Yang Guozhong embarrassed An Lushan everywhere, and let the surrounding Jiedu envoys contain An Lushan everywhere, which forced An Lushan to rebel, but it can't be said that An Lushan has no rebellion, but the rebellion needs an excuse, it just so happens that Yang Guozhong is a good excuse, and then entered Chang'an City under the guise of King Jingqin killing Yang Guozhong. ……
