That night, Nianyun didn't sleep very well, she had a lot of dreams, dreaming that the thirteen-year-old Mu Ye bid farewell to Aunt Wei, followed the big butler sent by Shengping Mansion, and rode in a carriage to Chang'an City, which was completely unknown.

She still doesn't know Chun, nor does she understand the many power struggles in Chang'an City, and vaguely feels that it is a kind of guidance in the underworld, destined to lead her to a certain kind of fate, to know the destined person.

That summer, the weather was exceptionally hot, and the heavy clouds were like a diaper that could not be washed for a thousand years, and the original color could not be seen, and it was smudged by layers, with an uncomfortable damp smell.

She didn't love such Chang'an City, but later, she felt that Chang'an City was her home. More than ten years later, she stood in Yangzhou again, only to realize that she had nowhere to go except Chang'an City.

The east gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the outside of Liufu knocked on the door gently, "Your Majesty ......"

Li Chun moved slightly, and Nianyun also woke up and hugged him from behind.

He patted her arm gently, "Nianyun, I'll be back in three days." ”

There was not a lot of sleepiness in his voice, and Nian Yun knew that he hadn't slept well that night. Her face was pressed against his back through the thin middle coat, "Chun, is it really to the point where conflict is inevitable?" ”

In the end, she is still worried, worried about her husband, and worried about her son.

Li Chun turned around and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, if he can really win me, it won't hurt if the world of the Tang Dynasty is handed over to him." ”

His life was full of adventures, from forcing Emperor Dezong to forcing the first emperor to take the throne, and dealing with local separatist forces was also countering violence with violence.

He smiled and took her hand, with a little pampering, "I'm going to be fine." I said I wanted to grow old with you, and you see, a lot of gray hair has grown on my head. ”

He wanted her to be reassured.

At this time, Liufu's voice sounded softly outside the door again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" ”

The procession to worship the heavens is about to set off on the fifth watch, and it's time to get up and wash.

Nian Yun got up with him, put on a five-phoenix red inlaid yellow silk border court dress that matched his dress, wore eight treasures and phoenix steps, and solemnly sent him out.

At this moment, they knew in each other's hearts that they were once again fighting side by side hand in hand. He dealt with the outside affairs, and the inner palace was handed over to her.

Maybe this time there will be no winner at all, but it will be necessary to go into the battlefield more carefully.

In this life, she has never been as hesitant as she is today.

It's still the middle of winter, and the snow is beginning to fall. As the bell on the top of the Danfeng Gate rang calmly and loudly, the palace gate of Zhu Qi slowly opened, and His Majesty's Luanyi went out of the palace gate at this time, along the spotless street all the way to the west.

Nianyun stood on the tower of the imperial city, watching His Majesty go away, his eyes were vast and far away.

On the first day, His Majesty arrived without incident, and everything was uneventful. But the calmer it is, the more unsettling it becomes.

The next morning, the ceremony went on as normal, and it ended at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and nothing happened. In the afternoon, the ministers rested for a while, and then returned from camp.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly the clouds were thick, and the black pressure filled the sky, as if the sky was covered with impermeable wind, and the light also dimmed, like a twilight quadrangle.

Luofu looked at His Majesty with some concern, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's going to be a big snowstorm this day, but do you still want to go......"

If it really snows, I'm afraid that the heavy snow will cover the mountain, and I won't be able to go back for a while.

They did not anticipate this, so they brought only three to five days' worth of food. If it is delayed for half a month, I am afraid that it will be a little bad.

Although the weather is bad, the weather is likely to be even worse in the coming period. On the first day, the snow was not so heavy that it was impossible to walk at all. While the road has not been sealed, it is still too late to rush back to Chang'an City.

"Proceed as planned." Li Chun waved his hand and made a decision.

As the procession began to set off, fine snow particles had already begun to fall from the sky, falling on the tip of the nose and cooling, and the air was full of cold breath.

After walking for more than ten miles, the snow gradually became heavier, and large clumps of goose feather snow fell one after another, covering the sky and the sun.

In front of it is a mountain that is not low, endless, and there are about seven or eight miles of mountain roads. When Li Chun came, he had noticed this place, this mountain is rugged with strange rocks, and the mountain is steep, which is an excellent terrain for ambush.

On such a snowy day, it seems that it is not a good idea to take such a dangerous mountain road. Liufu's heart became more and more worried, "Your Majesty, do you want to ...... Wait until tomorrow morning before leaving? ”

Li Chun looked up at the ground that had accumulated ** inch of snow, according to this trend, I am afraid that there will be half a person's deep snow tomorrow morning, how can I go?

He gritted his teeth, "Keep walking!" ”

Liufu had no choice but to order: "The personal guards of the Zichen Palace led the military attache to take the lead, and the Shence army held back, carefully stepped, be careful of the slippery road, and enter the mountain——"

This formation had been arranged a long time ago, with all the eunuchs and palace maids surrounding His Majesty in the middle, and the civil officials following closely behind.

The guards who acted as the strikers hurriedly took shovels and shovels to open the way in front, and as they walked forward, they had to clear the obstacles at the same time, at least to ensure that a relatively flat road could be opened for two people to walk side by side.

Li Chun stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the mountain, the mountain is quite steep, the ups and downs are not small, the vegetation on the mountain is dense, even in this season, everything is withering, there are still a small number of evergreen shrubs on the mountain, and the top is covered with a thick layer of white.

When all the guards of the striker had entered the mountain, His Majesty's shoulders were carried in. The eunuchs and palace maids he carried behind him, including Liufu, were all masters, and they were a group of people who had gradually begun to train as early as when he was still a county king in the East Palace, and ordinary assassins couldn't get close.

Even though the striker's guards had done their best to level the mountain road, it was still a bit bumpy to walk on it with their shoulders raised.

After walking for about three or four miles, he happened to be in the middle, when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, Li Chun's shoulder immediately fell to the ground, and Liufu raised his voice and asked, "What's going on ahead?" ”

A guard in front trotted all the way over: "Your Majesty, the front...... The mountain road ahead was blocked by boulders. ”

Boulders? When they came, they took this road, and it was still unimpeded, why was the road blocked in only a day or two?

Li Chun frowned and asked, "How long has it been blocked?" Can the stone be moved? ”

The guard said: "Back to the emperor, it's not a stone, but a ...... There are a lot of them, as if they were rolling down from the top of the mountain, blocking the road for about a mile, and it is really impossible to pass. It would be time-consuming and laborious to remove the stones. ”

"But is there any other way?"

The guard said, "If you take a different path, I'm afraid you will have to retreat to the previous camp and detour to another mountain." Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"I've already inquired with the mountain people ahead, but there is still one more road, but it is from a narrow cave, about two or three miles, and it can lead directly to the foot of the mountain."

The road was blocked so suddenly, apparently someone had done something. But if you want to go back at this time, first, the weather is too bad, and the physical strength of everyone, especially some civil officials, is afraid that it will be unbearable, and second, it will have to be delayed for a long time, and the snow will fall heavier and heavier, and it will be more and more difficult to walk behind.

has reached this point, after all, he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

Li Chun stood up, squinted his eyes and looked at the snow-covered mountains, and a little appreciation rose in his heart. In this game, the cloth is good, even the weather is counted, the time and place are favorable, if it is really laid by Heng'er, then he can rest assured.

"Then go out of the cave."

"Your Majesty......" Liufu wanted to say something, but was swept away by Li Chun's majestic gaze, so he had to shut his mouth.

The guards in front received the order, so they began to lead their troops to walk in the direction of the narrow cave, but it was only a stick of incense, and they walked outside the cave.

The cave was very dimly lit, and it looked very tortuous, and the entrance of the cave could not accommodate about seven or eight people, but it could be seen that it was getting narrower and narrower, and the narrowest point could only allow a single person to pass through.

Li Chun's shoulders could not be crossed, so he had to come down on foot, and the horses could only be left behind, and the Shence army would arrange to guard the passage.

The Beatitudes ordered the people to light torches and go into the cave in order.

There are some jagged rocks in the cave, and there are also naturally formed stalactites and dripping stone pillars in the spacious places, which hang upside down like fangs. The whole cave is wide and narrow, and there is a lot of shelter.

The crowd walked slowly, and the distance was very close, and they took care of each other. Walking to the narrowest place, the people in front had already passed, but Li Chun suddenly stopped at the gorge, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, this trick is not new." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the narrow stone wall suddenly moved, and more than a dozen masked people wearing clothes of the same color as the stone wall suddenly appeared in front of them as if they had fallen from the sky. Looking at the stone wall again, it instantly seemed to be three or five feet wider.

Thanks to the way these people came up with it, they actually wore clothes of the same color, applied stone powder mixed with cement on their faces, and carved gaps in the stone walls to hide their disguise! The vanguard troops in front of them didn't even find that there were people hiding in this stone wall!

In this way, the vanguard guards in front are blocked, and the guards behind have not yet followed, only in this small space, or they can directly hold His Majesty hostage!

Such a trick, although cleverly arranged, is not new. Li Chun quickly took a few steps back, leaning his back against the stone wall, with a hard stalactite in front of him. Liufu took the eunuch and palace maid with him to block the front, and suddenly the sword rattling.

It was freezing on this day, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all wearing thick cloaks, which looked very cumbersome, so those assassins didn't pay attention to them at all, and reached into their boots to touch them, and the sharp daggers were unsheathed.

The cave was too narrow to spread its hands and feet, so this time the Assassins used not swords but daggers. Unexpectedly, those eunuchs and palace maids suddenly untied their cloaks in a uniform manner, and under the heavy cloak were all capable dark blue power suits, and they also pulled out sharp daggers from their waists, and instantly lined up in formation, and their momentum suddenly appeared.
