Chapter 63: Chang'an

On the post road from Luoyang to Chang'an, a team of cavalry escorted several carriages slowly, it was early spring, the ice and snow melted on the road, it seemed slightly muddy, but looking at the endless blue sky in the distance, feeling the cool breeze on the face, it was also a special style.

The carriage was obviously not carrying ordinary characters, the cavalry who were full of spirit and had fine eyes were all rare good hands, and the weapons in their hands were even more well-made, and the black armor was shining in the cold wind, but there were more than 30 people, but there was an aura of slaughter, and they were obviously proud soldiers who had not known how many battles they had had.

Thirty knights were divided into two sections, one of which drove the way in front of several carriages, while the other guarded one of them, and it was evident that important figures were seated in this carriage.

The group walked forward silently, and for a while it seemed unusually quiet.

Suddenly, I saw that the curtain of the heavily protected carriage was lifted by a snow-white jade hand, and a beautiful face was revealed.

The soul-stirring eyes of the water, the ruddy and crystal cherry lips, the black hair casually tied up on the head, and the lazy and resentful charming style, made everyone's eyes light up, and even the cavalry guarding the carriage unconsciously took a few more looks.

However, she had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, Shang Xiufang only frowned slightly, but her gaze fell on a cavalryman beside the car 'inadvertently'.

It was an inconspicuous man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and although he was a little taller than the average person, it was nothing more than that, and in this cavalry he could only be described as ordinary.

Watching this horseman ride silently on his horse, he did not pay any attention to his own cavalry. Shang Xiufang's mood was a little complicated, and she didn't know what to say.

This ordinary cavalry is naturally Mo Wen after the disguise, since that performance in the Shilang Mansion. The relationship between him and Shang Xiufang has always been lukewarm, although the two sides often discuss some topics about music, and the atmosphere is harmonious, but that's all, under Mo Wen's deliberate distance and Shang Xiufang's reserve as a woman, the two can only be regarded as friends, and this time according to the itinerary. Shang Xiufang also had to go to Chang'an Li Valve to perform, and it just so happened that Mo Wen also planned to go to Chang'an to inquire about the news and sabotage casually. Then deal with the matter of Yang Gong's treasure house, so he proposed to go with Shang Xiufang.

At the beginning, when she heard that Mo Wen planned to go with her, Shang Xiufang was still a little happy, after all, she was as handsome as Mo Wen. A man who is accomplished in music and extraordinary. She is still rarely seen, and Mo Wen has always been very cold to her, without those wild bees and butterflies pursuing, making her relaxed, she can't help but feel a little surprised, and she naturally has a little concern in her heart, but she didn't expect that since she set off, Mo Wen has really disguised herself like an ordinary cavalryman. Without saying a word, the strange feeling of discomfort in Shang Xiufang's heart became stronger and stronger.

It's a pity that Shang Xiufang didn't know that her every move fell into Mo Wen's eyes. Looking at her speechless and somewhat embarrassed appearance, Mo Wen snickered in her heart, Shang Xiufang, as the number one prostitute in the world, is naturally used to seeing men's sycophancy, and occasionally sees a person who is not moved by her, she is naturally a little curious, plus Mo Wen is so good, it is difficult for her not to pay attention, and this is the beginning of her falling into the clutches of Mo Wen.

"That little brother, how long will it take to get to Chang'an?"

After hesitating for a moment, Shang Xiufang still found an opportunity to talk, her voice was tactful and mellow, full of a gripping charm.

Mo Wen turned his expressionless face and said lightly: "Miss Hui Shang, there are about two hours left to get to Chang'an." ”

After saying that, he turned his face away again and continued to concentrate on his journey.

Shang Xiufang pouted dissatisfiedly, as a woman with the best appearance, when did she be so despised, and had the heart to say a few more words, but unfortunately looked at the cavalry guarding the left and right, and then looked at the occasional passers-by, she had to swallow her words again, she was not stupid, she naturally understood the current situation today, and now Mo Wen can be said to be a figure that all the heroes want to get rid of, Chang'an is the base camp of Li Valve, if his identity is exposed, he will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops.

After glancing at Mo Wen, Shang Xiufang could only snort angrily, retracted into the car, and lowered the curtain again, that delicate appearance made her mature and charming temperament a little more innocent, and it looked even more moving.

Two hours passed in a flash, and the convoy gradually approached Chang'an.

Behind a magnificent city wall, towering buildings loom visible, showing the prosperity of Chang'an.

Cultural relics gathered, the imperial capital of Qianqiu, Chang'an was founded in the pre-Qin, as the capital of the past dynasties, its prosperity is even faintly still in Luoyang, Yangzhou under the rule of Mo Wen, Chang'an is divided into three parts of Guocheng, palace and imperial city, of which Guocheng has a total of 11 streets in the north and south and 14 streets in the east and west, crisscrossing the inside of Guocheng is divided into 110 squares. Among them, three north-south avenues and three east-west avenues between the city gates constitute the traffic backbone in Chang'an City, the most spacious is the Vermilion Bird Street that is equal to Luoyang Heavenly Street, which is as wide as 40 zhang, and the rest is not as wide as the Vermilion Bird Street, its scale can also be imagined.

Looking at the prosperous realm, the people accompanying him were a little touched, and the speed increased a little.

At the east gate of Chang'an, there was already a group of people waiting there at this time, the first one was wearing a yellow robe, obviously a member of the royal family.

Li Jiancheng, who was standing at the gate of the city, was a little irritable, last year's crusade against Xue Ju was not smooth, the battle was in the middle of the month, the two sides won and lost each other, and then they had to strike because of the harsh winter, at this time the harsh winter had passed, and he planned to start a new round of action, this was the opportunity he finally grasped, if he couldn't win Xue Ju in one fell swoop, he wouldn't want to suppress Li Shimin militarily in the future. At this time, he can be said to have a lot of things to deal with, but he ran into the world's number one prostitute Shang Xiufang rushed over, this woman's mother Mingyu and Tang Emperor Li Yuan have an unclear relationship, and Li Yuan is deeply valued, so he has to wait here as Li Jiancheng, but the result is more than an hour, Li Jiancheng gradually can't suppress the anger in his heart.

But fortunately, just when he was about to break out, Shang Xiufang's convoy came.

A pair of cavalry stopped at the east gate of Chang'an. Bringing the mounts to the sides, the carriage at the front stopped, and a figure pulled the door open and walked slowly. Looking at the beautiful shadow, all the people waiting were breathless.

Shang Sheng Xiufang's shiny black hair was tied into a double sideburns on her head, and she wore a popular pale green backsuit from the foreign tribes of the northwest, with high lapels, narrow sleeves and a wide body, a long skirt that dragged to the ground, and the leaders were trimmed with brocade. Wearing a pair of soft cotton shoes with a warped head, accompanied by two pretty maids, he slowly walked down. Its elegance is peerless. Even Li Jiancheng, who is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is born with a sense of shame, let alone others.

Li Jianwei was quite dissatisfied with Shang Xiufang's late arrival, and he didn't know that she could sweep her water-cut eyes that could capture the soul and hook her soul. Immediately, all the grievances were thrown out of the clouds. Forget one to two.

"The folk girl has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and she is late for a long trip, so I hope you will forgive me."

Shang Xiufang apologized, her voice so charming that she almost dripped water.

"Where is it, Xiufang, it's my honor to be here, where will it be strange, the weather is still cold, Xiufang, let's go into the city quickly!"

looked at Shang Xiufang's charming posture. Li Jiancheng immediately gave his soul and wanted to touch the little hand after taking a few steps. Helped Shang Xiufang up.

But the next moment, he had to stop.

In front of him, a group of cavalry guards in black armor were guarding Shang Xiufang, and the leader was staring at him with a sneer, with a sarcasm in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Although Li Jiancheng lost his temper for a while because of Shang Xiufang's appearance, he was not a fool after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this cavalry was not easy to mess with, if he rushed over, he would lose a lot if something happened to him, so he immediately stopped and asked coldly.

After all, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and being stared at like this by a cavalryman will inevitably feel a little unhappy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the person on the other side had an even more fiery temper, and immediately said loudly: "Wen Mo, the cavalry commander under the command of the Heavenly Master, is ordered to protect the safety of everyone and at the same time stop the harassment of those wild bees and butterflies!" ”

When he said the Wild Bee Wave Butterfly, the man's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Jiancheng, and the implication was self-evident.

"You! β€”β€”" Li Jiancheng was suddenly furious, he had a heart attack and didn't want to lose his demeanor in front of the beauty, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that Xiufang has arrived in Chang'an, our Li family is naturally responsible for safety, so go back wherever you come!" ”

"I'm sorry, I only listen to the orders of the Heavenly Master, you Li Valve can't control us, the order of the Heavenly Master is to be responsible for everyone's safety, but it doesn't mean that it will be sent to Chang'an, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders!" The cavalry did not give an inch.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and a cavalryman used such a reckless attitude towards the prince of a country, and the other party obviously didn't take Li Valve in his eyes.

Li Jiancheng laughed angrily, "So if His Royal Highness invites Xiufang and everyone to the palace, you also have to wear armor and carry a knife to follow?" ”

"If necessary!" The cavalry looked ordinary, but it was full of momentum.

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

The entourage behind Li Jiancheng scolded one after another, and many of them pulled out their weapons.

The black cavalry on the opposite side also drew their swords, and the atmosphere on both sides stiffened, and the smell of gunpowder was full.

"Hah!" Li Jiancheng looked at the cavalry in front of him suspiciously, his fists clenched quietly, and said coldly: "It seems that the army under the command of the Heavenly Master is not very good, let me educate him and educate his subordinates today!" After saying that, he wanted his men to rush up and give these people some color.

But the knight's face did not change, looking at the approaching crowd, and said lightly: "When I came, Lord Tianshi said, if we want us to protect everyone, if anyone dares to obstruct it, we will do it with whomever we want, if something happens, there will naturally be an adult who will call the shots for us, even if he fights Luoyang, he will avenge us, so I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think twice!" ”

Li Jiancheng's face froze, and then he sneered: "Do you think I will believe you, for the sake of your few cavalry, I don't believe that Mo Wen dares to start a war with me Li Valve!" ”

He didn't doubt Mo Wen's guts, but it was obviously not worth abandoning Luoyang for the sake of a few cavalry.

In this regard, the cavalry shrugged his shoulders and looked at Li Jiancheng playfully.

"Our adults said that a few of us came out to represent his face, anyway, Luoyang will definitely not be able to keep it, so whoever doesn't give him face, he will pull whoever is buried with him!"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to take advantage of Xue Ju in dealing with him, and if he faced our Yangzhou army, I don't know what the result would be, so that Luoyang would fall into the hands of others. I don't know how Prince Lu Dao explained to Emperor Tang? ”

"Li Valve's most capable of fighting seems to be Li Shimin, the king of Qin, if the prince can't lead the troops, is it going to be replaced by the king of Qin?"

A series of three sentences. Every extra sentence made Li Jiancheng's face look a little ugly, but he didn't dare to attack under the rat taboo, because every sentence of the person opposite poked at his key points.

Mo Wen's troops in Luoyang are tens of thousands, although he is not the opponent of any family, but it is too easy to pull a family into the water, which one he will fight with. Whoever family will definitely lose the opportunity to seize Luoyang, and they will also use their own troops to make wedding dresses for others. Although he thought that Mo Wen would not be so impulsive, he would make such a big move for the sake of a few cavalrymen. But he can't deny this possibility, after all, in the eyes of everyone, Luoyang is absolutely undefensible, presumably Mo Wen thinks the same, so use Luoyang's military strength to weaken the opponent. It's not unacceptable. Anyway, the foundation of the Yangzhou army is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the loss of Luoyang does not have much impact.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng was shocked in his heart, could it be that this cavalry was so provocative that Mo Wen deliberately arranged it, just to find an opportunity to pull Li Valve into the water.

That's right! Now the only one in the world who can threaten the Yangzhou military command and Jiangnan is the powerful Li Valve, and it is no wonder that Mo Wen wants to deal with them.

Li Jiancheng flashed one thought after another in his heart, although he knew that the other party was deliberate, but he provoked disputes. He still couldn't afford to lose the responsibility of Luoyang, and he finally relied on the pillow wind of the harem concubines to drive Li Shimin out of the army. Li Shimin must not be allowed to have an excuse to take office again.

But looking at the other party's fearless appearance, Li Jiancheng hated it so much, after all, he was the prince of a country, if he was provoked by someone so and didn't react, where would he put his face?

Fortunately, there was still Shang Xiufang on the side, seeing that the two sides were about to fight, she hurriedly interjected: "Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, Chief Wen Wu, don't argue between the two, I understand the intentions of the two, I am really grateful, but it's a little cold here, we still want to go to the inn!" ”

With a step down, Li Jiancheng's face suddenly improved.

"Okay, this time looking at Xiufang's face, His Royal Highness doesn't care about you, I hope you remember that this is my Li family's territory, if you dare to be presumptuous, even if you start a war with the Yangzhou army, my Li family will not let you wait!"

The cavalryman snorted coldly at this, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

And after Li Jiancheng released the cruel words, he withdrew and left, but he was afraid that the other party would have any more conspiracies and tricks, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to help but take the initiative to do it if he stayed here.

Leading the horses, Shang Xiufang and his party walked towards the residence arranged in the city under the guidance of Li Jiancheng's men.

Looking at the situation left and right, Shang Xiufang stretched her head out of the car and whispered to the cavalryman, "Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity if you provoke Li Jiancheng so much?" ”

Of course, Mo Wen was the only one who could point at Li Jiancheng and spray wildly in front of him, listening to Shang Xiufang's question, he just smiled.

"No, they never dreamed that I would dare to appear in front of them so swaggeringly, now Li Jiancheng is probably thinking about how to clean me up, and he doesn't pay much attention to my origins, I have some arrangements in Luoyang, and he will stop if he investigates a similar result, after all, for him, a person who wants to kill and seems to be able to succeed easily, it doesn't matter what the identity of the other party is."

"I need to have a bright identity in Chang'an so that it is convenient for activities. Being an enemy of Li Jiancheng is just the right thing to facilitate me from doing something. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Wen smiled confidently, "Actually, it doesn't matter if my identity is exposed, with my martial arts, I can kill at any time, and no one in this world can keep me!" ”

Shang Xiufang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the identity of the great master of Mo Wen, remembered his amazing achievements, Mo Wen had been discussing some musical things with her all the time, but it made her ignore the identity of Mo Wen's martial artist, and that prestige was built on the corpses of countless masters of the two realms of righteousness and demons.

Sighing softly, Shang Xiufang glanced at Mo Wen with a complicated expression, and her tone was a little resentful, "Young Master Mo, you can't put down the sword in your hand for anything, what's so good about this kind of killing and killing days, wouldn't it be better for you and me to study music theory quietly, if you canβ€”β€”"

Halfway through the conversation, Shang Xiufang smiled bitterly and sat back in the car.

The corners of Mo Wen's mouth hooked a smile, although he didn't say it, but the remaining half of the sentence seemed to be like what Shang Xiufang said to Kou Zhong in the original book, "Assuming that the young marshal gives up fighting for hegemony in the world, Xiufang is willing to always accompany you, play the kite and sing songs to relieve your boredom." ”

Although Shang Xiufang didn't say it, it can be seen that she still has a lot of good feelings for herself.

With a relaxed pace, Mo Wen walked towards Li Jiancheng's residence.

And when Mo Wen was happy that he was about to pry off the protagonist's red face again, Kou Zhong, who was the original protagonist, was frantically looking for it under the Prancing Horse Bridge like crazy.

His eyes were red, and he searched inch by inch, and with his eyesight and his sense of touch and feeling, which were a hundred times more sensitive than ordinary people, he was almost sure that there was nothing mysterious about this magnificent stone bridge.

"Alright, Zhong Shao, you need to take a break!" Xu Ziling, who was standing on the side, really couldn't see it, and couldn't help but persuade him.

But Kou Zhong pushed Xu Ziling away, tilted his body, leaned under the bridge and muttered to himself: "There is nothing for Lu, my mother clearly said that the mechanism is under the bridge, why can't I find it everywhere, for what, for what?"

Looking at his dejected appearance, Xu Ziling's eyes flashed a little unbearable, but he didn't know what to say, after all, that incident was not a small blow to Kou Zhong.

After the most Lu could only whisper comforting: "Didn't my mother say, the first step is to test our chances, only through the first step, the information she told us inside the treasure house will be useful, if we have not been able to find the exit, she would rather this treasure sink to the bottom of the river forever, than watch us open the treasure and be profited by others, let's look for it!" ”

Hearing his words, Kou Zhong suddenly raised his head, his eyes a little cold.

"Did you say that Niang didn't tell us the real location of the treasure at all, but just used us to attract the attention of others, but finally handed over the treasure to others, do you know that Lu Dao Niang likes him!" (To be continued......)
