Chapter 589: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars

Because they failed to win the full moon night Laurel Spirit Dew, the Dragon Shark Demon King and the Red Feather Phoenix King could only retreat and take the two days together. When Luo Han and Xiaoyao had not yet been exposed, the two sides reached a tacit understanding and divided the remaining Laurel Linglu.

originally thought it would be a battle for the treasure, but because of the intervention of Luo Han and Xiaoyao and Chengji's Hu Lai, it finally evolved into an oligarchic model, and the two camps divided the spoils and ended this treasure hunt in a bland manner. The trialists got a sufficient amount of Laurel Linglu, and the two demon kings ended their journey to Mount Tai without any loss, the only regret was that the Laurel Linglu was snatched away by Chengji on the night of the full moon.

At the end of the mission, the trialists either return to their own territory, or visit the scenery of the Tang Dynasty, and then disperse, and gather again I am afraid that it will be until the third mission item appears.

Luo Han and his party returned to Chang'an, there was still a hidden task waiting for them to do, but unexpectedly, the Haotian team also went straight to Chang'an and met the storm team on the road. After asking, I learned that the Haotian team also received a hidden mission in Chang'an, but it was to help a general named Xue Wanche secretly escort a batch of supplies to Shuzhong. The difficulty of this task is that no one can be informed of the existence of this batch of materials, and the task is completed after the handover is completed after it is delivered to the designated place. If anyone else sees the supplies along the way, the mission will fail.

Luo Han knew that this Xue Wanche was the son of Xue Shixiong, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and his brother Xue Wanjun were both fierce generals in the world, and later one entered the Qin Palace, and the other entered the East Palace, the change of Xuanwu Gate Xue Wanche once led troops with Feng Li to storm the Xuanwu Gate, trying to avenge Li Jiancheng's brothers, and finally Wei Chi Gong took out the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, so that the soldiers of the two were scattered, and Xue Wanche fled to Zhongnan Mountain to avoid trouble. Li Shimin cherished his ability, did not blame the past, and asked him to go out of the mountain to become an official again. It is only three years since the change of Xuanwu Gate, and it is normal for Xue Wanche to have some other thoughts in his heart.

The two teams arrived in Chang'an together and stayed at the inn together. At night, Luo Han saw a big man sneaking into Haotian's room, he felt familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that this big man was the one who asked him on the tall building, and he claimed to be surnamed Xue at that time, but he didn't expect it to be him. If Luo Han hadn't been too cautious at that time, talking to him would probably trigger this quest. However, Luo Han did not feel discouraged, this kind of task was originally fate, not to mention that Luo Han was not without gains.

What he has to think about now is how to get Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter out. Although Li Shimin did not prohibit Zheng Guanyin from traveling, if she took all her daughters out, it would definitely make people suspicious. If there weren't so many monks in Chang'an City, Luo Han would have a hundred ways to get rid of them quietly, but now he was really a little embarrassed.

In order to come up with a suitable method, Luo Han was thinking all the way, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he locked himself in his room for two whole days, and he didn't even pay attention to the Haotian team leaving him.

At noon on the third day, Luo Han finally walked out of the room, beckoned the team members, and distributed the notes one by one.

At noon, Xiao Yumeng and Lin Ya entered the palace gate, showed the token given to them by Zheng Guanyin, came to Changle Gate, and gave Zheng Guanyin a piece of beautiful jade, saying that it was obtained from travel. The palace maids of Changle Gate all knew that Xiao Yumeng and Lin Ya were rangers who traveled around with their brothers, and because they had saved Li Wanshun, they were regarded as guests by Zheng Guanyin. After Li Jiancheng's death, the people in the palace were reluctant to get close to Zheng Guanyin in order to avoid suspicion, so Zheng Guanyin had no friends, and it was rare for such two people to be willing to associate with her, so it seemed very normal for Zheng Guanyin to stay overnight again.

After three days, the two left. After another two days, Zheng Guanyin proposed to take her eldest daughter and younger daughter out for a walk. Because of the accident before, this time the palace sent two palace maids to accompany him despite Zheng Guanyin's resignation.

Zheng Guanyin hugged her three-year-old daughter, led her eldest daughter, followed by two palace maids, walking on the lively street at night, looking east and west, buying some fabrics, toys and snacks from time to time, it seems that she really came out to go shopping and relax.

Suddenly, two big men dressed in alcohol walked up, hooking their shoulders and backs, muttering vague words. Zheng Guanyin frowned, pulled Li Wanru to stand by a stall selling fabrics on the side of the road, and looked at the two drunks with some disgust.

Unexpectedly, the two drunks looked at the two palace maids beside Zheng Guanyin, but their eyes lit up, and they staggered over, shouting, "Little lady...... It's so pretty...... Uncle, please ...... Please drink ......"

The two palace maids had never seen this kind of thing, and they were a little flustered for a while, and one of the palace maids hurriedly said: "Go away, I'm going to call someone." ”

In fact, where is the use of calling? As soon as the people around saw this situation, they knew that the drunk man was drunk, and someone had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to do it.

The two drunks were each hugging a palace maid with a tiger pounce, muttering inaudible words, which frightened the two palace maids to scream again and again.

"Stop!" At this time, a voice sounded, and the two palace maids followed the prestige, but saw a man with a strong and unusual birth striding over, obviously trying to come out.

The two drunks muttered a few more words, but they still honestly let go of the two palace maids and staggered away. Seeing that the drunk man knew each other, the sturdy man didn't care about them, and came over and asked, "Are the two girls okay?" ”

Just when the two palace maids were frightened, a woman's scream came from her ears: "Like! Wanxin! What's wrong with you guys? ”

The two palace maids turned around, but saw Li Wanru lying on the ground, unconscious, and although Li Wanxin was held, her eyes were closed and she didn't move. Zheng Guanyin was so anxious that his eyes were full of tears, and then he suddenly looked over and said sharply: "Hurry up and take it back, call the imperial doctor!" After speaking, he hugged Li Wanxin and ran back.

The two palace maids lost their minds for a while, one of the palace maids hurriedly picked up Li Wanru and ran back, and the other palace maid supported behind.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, the owner of the fabric stall showed a playful expression.

Zheng Guanyin hurriedly sent her daughter back to Changle Gate, and the accompanying palace maid put Li Wanru away, and went to the imperial doctor in a hurry.

Zheng Guanyin was out of control, crying and screaming in the palace, his voice was hoarse, there were chickens and dogs jumping up and down Changle Gate, and all the palace maids were busy, but they didn't know what to do.

When Zheng Guanyin quieted down, he said in a dumb voice: "I'll go and see Wanshun and Wanqing and Wanyue, you keep an eye on Wanru and Wanxin." If there's a bad one, I'll ask you. ”

The palace maids knew that Zheng Guanyin was unreasonable at this time, and they didn't dare to answer, so they could only watch her leave.

finally waited for the imperial doctor to come, but he was shocked: "Strange, this is a symptom of being drugged." ”

This imperial doctor is also a good method, took out a few silver needles and pricked a few acupuncture points on Li Wanru's body, and Li Wanru woke up after a while.

It's just that Li Wanru didn't cry or make trouble, and asked calmly: "Is the matter done?" Can I go? ”

The surrounding palace maids were stunned, this voice was not Li Wanru's at all, only to see Li Wanru rubbing her face, tearing off a mask with a high degree of simulation from her face, revealing a face that everyone didn't recognize.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded, Li Wanru is not Li Wanru, what's going on?

The imperial doctor has excellent psychological quality, and directly reached out and rubbed Li Wanxin's face a few times, and also tore off a mask, revealing the face of a little girl he didn't know.

"It's ...... What's going on? The imperial doctor felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and asked the girl who was pretending to be Li Wanru.

The girl shook her head: "I don't know, someone gave my father and mother a sum of money, and bought me to do one thing." Then they gave me medicine and said that when I woke up, they would ask the people around me if they could let me go, and then I passed out. By the way, they also told me that there would be a three-year-old girl like me, and he asked me to tell you that we don't know what it is, so don't hurt us. ”

At this moment, a team of guards rushed in and asked the leader, "Where is Li Wanru and Li Wanxin?" ”

The palace maid in charge here buzzed in her head and fainted directly.

Outside the palace, Xiao Yumeng, Qin Hu and Luo Han each jumped into the canal with a girl in their arms, and swam out of the city under the cover of night.

The former crown princess Zheng Guanyin and her five daughters were all missing, and what was even more exaggerated was that the guards saw Zheng Guanyin tie the second daughter to his back with a rope, hold a daughter in his left and right hands, and rush out of the palace gate at a speed that an adult man could not match.

Soon the palace figured out what was going on, someone dropped their mother and daughter when Zheng Guanyin traveled, and the one who pretended to be Zheng Guanyin must be a woman with strong martial arts, not only changed her appearance, but also learned Zheng Guanyin's voice seven or eight percent, plus the voice was inevitably out of tune in a hurry, so no one heard it. This woman took advantage of the chaos in Changle Gate, took away the other three girls, and used her identity to forcibly break into the palace gate, and the guards didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to offend Zheng Guanyin rashly, so she escaped.

In connection with the previous incident, it can be roughly determined that this is a premeditated incident, and Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter took the initiative to cooperate with the thief, and the crime was committed by the ranger Han Feng and his comrades who had saved Li Wanshun a few months ago. Li Shimin hurriedly ordered people to blockade the whole city, and ordered the prefectures and counties near Chang'an to be wanted, and Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter must be brought back.

Back five days ago, Xiao Yumeng and Lin Ya came to Changle Gate according to Luo Han's order, in order to imitate Zheng Guanyin's voice and behavior. And Qin Hu came forward and secretly bought two girls from two poor families to pretend to be Zheng Guanyin's daughter. Zheng Guanyin's biggest trouble is that her daughters are too many to get them out at once, so she can only find a way to replace Li Wanru, who is the biggest one who is more troublesome to carry, and Li Wanxin, who is the youngest who is difficult to take care of. This is somewhat cruel, Luo Han is not sure what will happen to the two girls who were bought to impersonate, but this is also a last resort, he can only choose the family that is so poor that he is about to starve to death, at least it can be said that he can exchange a daughter for the life of the whole family. After that, Xiao Yumeng and Zheng Guanyin confirmed the clothes when they traveled and prepared them in advance. When traveling, Xiao Yumeng hid under the fabric stall with the two girls. When Liu Nian and Qi Tao pretended to be drunk to attract attention, Xiao Yumeng swapped with Zheng Guanyin and then started acting. Then use the chaos of Changle Gate to take away the other three, and Luo Han and Qin Hu, who were picked up outside, each took one and escaped from the city through the canal.

The carriage had already been prepared outside Chang'an City, and Luo Han and the three of them sent the three girls to the carriage, and the carriage started immediately. Zheng Guanyin hurriedly changed into dry clothes for them, and then poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Thank you to Engong, I finally let the concubine body out of that person's control." ”

Luo Han, who was wearing a straw hat in front of him to drive the carriage, did not look back, shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's still early, before leaving the border of the Tang Dynasty, you can't relax your vigilance at all." There will be a lot of hardships on the way ahead, you have to be mentally prepared, if it really doesn't work, I can only give up on you to escape. ”

Zheng Guanyin said firmly: "No matter what, I will not let the daughter of Jiancheng fall into the hands of that thief again." ”

"Sit tight. Drive! Luo Han whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain, spread its hooves and ran. Even the official road was not smooth, and the carriage was very bumpy under the gallop. Zheng Guanyin couldn't say anything more, and hurriedly protected her daughters so that they wouldn't fall.

Qin Hu and the others did not go with Luo Han, there were such carriages running on all official roads leading to all directions outside Chang'an City, including those driven by the Storm Squad and the empty carriages hired by them, they would drive to different places to divert the attention of the pursuers.

In a Taoist temple in Chang'an City, Li Shimin, accompanied by his personal guards, bowed respectfully to the Sanqing statue, and a long-bearded Taoist priest with fairy wind and Taoist bones next to him silently recited the Taoist scriptures.

"Xuan Lingzi, can you deduce where Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter are?"

The long-bearded Taoist priest shook his head: "There is a strong force to interfere with the calculation of the poor Dao, it seems that this time it is not done by ordinary people." ”

Li Shimin frowned: "Could it be that there are other cultivators who have a plot against Zheng Guanyin?" ”

The long-bearded Taoist priest shook off the dust, pinched his fingers and said silently for a while: "According to the calculation of the poor road, this power is demonic power, and the one who robbed their mother and daughter is probably a monster." ”

Li Shimin said: "What monster dares to meddle in the affairs of the royal family? Aren't you afraid of the suppression of the Tang Dynasty? ”

The long-bearded Taoist priest Xuan Lingzi said: "As far as the poor Dao knows, there was a demon clan treasure on the top of Mount Tai more than a month ago, and in addition to the usual demon clan, there is also a group of demon clans from the Western Regions, one of which is named Han Feng, and the ranger Han Feng has the same sound. ”

"What the Dao Chief said, could it be that this is what the group of Western Regions demon clans did?"

Xuan Lingzi said: "Very likely. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Then I will order someone to block all the key points leading to the Western Regions, and I will definitely be able to intercept this demon." ”

Xuan Lingzi shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, this demon is extraordinary, and it is by no means easy to deal with." Your Majesty, listen to me one by one. ”
