Chapter 24: Undercurrents

Lou Qingyue waited for Saffron to arrange a time for him to enter the palace, he was very anxious, thinking as soon as possible, but Saffron didn't seem to be in a hurry, a day had passed, and Lou Qingyue had not received the news.

The reason why he was so anxious was because he thought that Xu Manlu was imprisoned, and he wanted to rescue his beloved as soon as possible!

But he didn't know that Xu Manlu was working closely on a new mission in Chang'an!

The moon in Chang'an City is like practice, and the weather is very hot!

Jiang Xiaolou's injuries have healed, because of what happened last time, he feels that Chang'an City is already an undercurrent surging!

Therefore, both he and Shiragasasu personally patrolled the city walls.

In Fengming Pavilion, Xu Manlu's injuries had healed, and she had arranged all the operational tasks this time, and at this moment, the messenger of the sound, that is, their big boss, quietly came to Fengming Pavilion.

"Big boss, you're here. ”

"Is the plan of action all in place?" asked the big boss.

"It's all arranged, just wait for the big boss's order. Xu Manlu said.

"Okay! This mission is not trivial, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will lead to the failure of the entire mission, and at that time, all our efforts in the early stage will be in vain!"

"Yes, big boss, we won't let you down!"

"Also, the Divine Lord has also come to Chang'an City, and he is secretly assisting us in this task. ”

"Really, Lord God is really here, we all dream of meeting Lord God!" Xu Manlu said excitedly.

"Is it something you can see if you want?" the big boss blamed.

"Yes! Big boss!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Xu Manlu said.

The door opened, and it was Xiao Gongzi and Li Gongzi.

"Manager Xu, big boss! It's all arranged. Xiao Gongzi said.

"Okay! This operation must be foolproof! I also thank Cangzhu's friends for their help. The big boss asked.

"The big boss is polite, we are allies, and it is right to help each other. What's more, in order to save me, Manager Xu was seriously injured, and he should repay him with his life!"

"Li Gongzi is serious!" Xu Manlu said.

"Okay! As long as we all work together, we will definitely be able to realize our dreams! In addition, I have one more thing to say to Man'er. The big boss said.

"Then let's retire first!" Xiao Gongzi and Li Gongzi said at the same time.

"Eh! They are all their own people, so there is no need to avoid it! This matter was sent to the messenger of Tibet. The big boss said.

"What's the matter? Big boss. Xu Manlu asked.

"They said-Lou Qingyue is actually in the capital of Tubo!" said the big boss.

"Ah, Brother Lou, Brother Lou...... He's not dead!" Xu Manlu's tears of excitement fell, and she trembled a little when she spoke.

"Count his boy's life, I hope he doesn't interfere with our plans, otherwise, I will still kill him!" said the big boss viciously.

He ...... He...... He won't!" Xu Manlu seemed to be begging the big boss not to kill her brother Lou.

"I hope so, all right, you go and do it!"

"Yes!"

Xu Manlu went to complete her mission, but Lou Qingyue, who was thousands of miles away, was anxious to find her and rescue her.

There are a lot of things that go wrong in this world, some people come together because of mistakes, some people pass by all their lives because of mistakes, it sometimes achieves a good relationship, sometimes it destroys a family, it sometimes brings happiness to people, and sometimes it brings disasters to people!

Although Lou Qingyue and Xu Manlu are childhood sweethearts, their lives are full of mistakes!

I wonder if I can see you again this time?

Maybe, just maybe!

Since Xu Manlu joined the organization of "Outer Gods", she has been extremely convinced that this is a salvation organization, and she believes that this organization can save all people!

She once told Lou Qingyue that she could realize her ideals here: those who want to cultivate immortals can cultivate to be called immortals, those who want to get rich can become rich, and those who want to be erudite can learn all over the world...... In short, as long as you have ideals and dreams, you can achieve them here.

But Lou Qingyue found out that this was a deceitful organization, and they were using people's enterprising spirit to do some shady things!

Lou Qingyue also persuaded Xu Manlu to leave with him, but Xu Manlu said that Lou Qingyue didn't understand their organization at all, so the two had an estrangement, and there was a later big boss who sent someone to kill Lou Qingyue, and Xu Manlu was also punished.

We don't know who is right and who is wrong between the two of them, maybe Xu Manlu was blinded, maybe Lou Qingyue judged herself, we don't know, we have to wait! Waiting for the test of time, we believe that one day, the truth will be revealed!

Since Xu Manlu and the others left, the messenger himself also went to Huaqing Palace, I don't know what happened to him there?

In the Huaqing Palace, Emperor Tang Ming loved Yang Guifei very much, they loved, enjoyed, and forgot themselves.

"A branch of red dew condenses, and the clouds and rain Wushan break their intestines in vain. By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup. This Sikong Taibai is really blindless, he relied on his talent to use this poem to satirize me!

"Aifei, don't be angry, this blank is not sarcastic to you, you forget, this dynasty advocates fat as beauty, he is borrowing Zhao Feiyan's thinness to set off your beauty! You are my first beauty in the Tang Dynasty, if you are angry, you are not beautiful!" Tang Minghuang said, his ability to coax women is also very powerful.

"Hmph! Anyway, I just don't like this Si Bai! Look at his arrogant appearance, he has no monarch!" Yang Guifei said.

"Beauty, why bother to be angry with a scholar! A literati, especially a talented scholar like him, is inevitably a little arrogant!" Tang Ming said.

Just then, Colliers came in.

"Your Majesty, Fan Yang Jie Du asked An Lushan to see. Colliers reported.

"He's here, good, please!" Tang Minghuang was very happy.

Gao Lishi was a little unhappy, and said: "Your Majesty, you are a king, he is a minister, you should pass on him, how can you use it!"

"This is not in the court, he is my friend, it is time to get off work, why not invite him in, call quickly. "Tang Ming Huang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gao Lishi went out and deliberately shouted loudly: "The Tang Emperor asked Fan Yang Jiedu to envoy An Lushan to meet him!"

When Tang Minghuang heard this, he just smiled.

After An Lushan came in, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him: "Weichen knocked to see Your Majesty's mother! Your Majesty is so kind to Weichen, so that Weichen will not be repaid for his death!"

"Okay, okay, Aiqing, please get up, this is not in the court, there is no need to make this big gift!" Tang Ming said.

"Your Majesty is really wise and martial, with you, it is really the blessing of Weichen, the blessing of the world, and the blessing of all the people! Niangniang is really the first beauty of my Tang Dynasty, it is really the luck of Your Majesty, the luck of the world, and the happiness of all the people!" An Lushan said.

"Look at his mouth!" Tang Minghuang said as he looked at Yang Guifei.

"Come!

Emperor Tang Ming took out the most beautiful wine in the Tang Dynasty to reward An Lushan, and also called a lot of dignitaries and foreign envoys to accompany him, and personally drank with him, the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guifei, also danced, which was really amazing, and everyone present was attracted by her beauty and dancing!

This grand scene of singing and dancing is the envy of thousands of people, and there is a poem that says:

You don't see the Tang Dynasty wine tulips, and the jade bowl is full of amber light.

You don't see the Tang Dynasty concubine as beautiful as Jiao, and Hongchen smiled shyly.

Huaqing Palace Zhonghua Qing Pond, Huaqing Pond is full of smoke.

The Tang Dynasty feasted on the high rollers, and the concubines danced amazingly.

Life must be full of joy, drinking and singing brocade clothes.

The wine of the Son of Heaven, the dance of the concubine, the songs are endless, and the cup does not stop.

They all envy the Hongchen concubine and smile, not knowing that the loess hides the romance.

Life does not want to be more amorous and less, and amorous is always ruthlessly annoyed.

Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei were having a good time in Huaqing Palace, but they didn't know that the undercurrent of Chang'an City was surging, and a violent storm was coming!

The guards on Chang'an City were all in a twelve-point spirit, for fear that something would go wrong, Jiang Xiaolou and Bai Lisu circled around the city wall, and the beads of sweat on their faces were stacked layer by layer.

"This weather, it's damn it! Don't let people live!" the two guards conversed in a Chang'an dialect.

"Everyone cheer up and be ready to fight at any time!" Jiang Xiaolou said.

"Yes, big boss!"

Chang'an City is still very lively, after all, this is the capital of the world's largest empire, it is also the world's political, economic, cultural center, many foreign scholars and envoys come thousands of miles here to study, exchange.

There are countless commercial streets, restaurants, brothels, casinos, academies, as well as large and small temples, post stations, poetry societies, etc.

No matter day or night, those who gamble, prostitutes, engage in poetry clubs, burn incense and worship Buddha, never stop, there are fights, there are also rapes and steals, all kinds of people and all kinds of things happen every day, and there is also dirt under this prosperity.

In this pan-Chinese lively atmosphere, there were several pairs of eyes staring closely at Jiang Xiaolou on the city wall of Chang'an, on such a hot day, sweat beads were about to flow into the eyes and mouths, and they couldn't move!

Jiang Xiaolou also faintly felt that danger might happen at any time!

Suddenly!

I saw dozens of black-clothed people flying up the city wall, all of them with strong martial arts, Jiang Xiaolou had a hard time dealing with them alone, and those ordinary soldiers were not the opponents of these black-clothed people at all.

The battle is fierce, more and more people are joining the battle, and the corpses are piling up!

The men in black continued to come like a demon, and Shirakasasu, who was patrolling, also brought a large group of men and horses to help, and the fierce battle lasted for an hour!

There are corpses piled up and under the walls, some guarded by the forbidden army, and some people in black!

"Big Boss, could these black-clothed people be the same group last time?" asked Shirakasasu.

"I don't know if it's a group, but it's definitely not a group of people!" Jiang Xiaolou said.

"You mean ......"

"They may be the same party of the gang last time, but the martial arts and immortal methods are all different, and the combat mode is completely different!

"So why did they attack us desperately and then all evacuate?" asked Shirakasasu.

"Why is that?" Jiang Xiaolou also asked himself.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Not good!" Before the voice fell, he immediately flew towards the palace, and Shirakasa Su arranged a pair of men and horses to guard the city, and he quickly followed with a team of men and horses.

Jiang Xiaolou circled the entire palace, but found nothing.

"Strange!"

"Big Boss, it's strange that nothing was found!" said Shirakasasu.

"This is also what makes me feel strange? They sent so many dead soldiers to attack us, isn't it just to make a noise, but why is it as if nothing happened in the palace? Could it be that their purpose is not in the palace? If that's the case, then why do they still desperately attack the city, delay us for an hour and then suddenly evacuate?!" Jiang Xiaolou said.

"What should I do now!" said Shirakasa Su.

"So, let's go back and check the body of the man in black first and see what we find!"

"Yes!"

Everyone followed Jiang Xiaolou back to the city wall to carefully inspect the bodies of those black-clothed people, and found some strange things.

"Strange, these people don't look like people from the Central Plains, who are they?" Jiang Xiaolou asked.

"Big Chief, I seem to have seen these people somewhere, but I can't remember where they are!" said one of the captains.

"Really, then think about it!" Jiang Xiaolou said.

The captain looked at a few corpses carefully, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Big leader, I remember, they are Tubo!"

The voice did not fall, and the four were stunned!

"What! Tibetan people!" said everyone.

"Yes! Big leader, deputy leader, you see, these people have high cheekbones, big eyes, high and straight noses, burly figures, and their faces do not look like people from the Central Plains, and these people are definitely Tubo! I have participated in the battle to evaluate Tubo before, and I know them. The captain said.

"The Tubo Kingdom is our vassal country, they do have anti-Tang intentions, but because of the majesty and national strength of the Tang Dynasty, they dare not act rashly, what is the purpose of pretending to be a man in black to attack this time? Moreover, how could such a large number of people enter my Tang Dynasty capital so easily......" Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaolou suddenly stopped, he didn't seem to want to finish his words.

So he continued: "Let's clean up the scene, take the body to the morgue, keep it under strict guard, and no one is allowed to approach!"

"Yes, big boss!"

"General Bai, for the sake of today, we can only go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Jiang Xiaolou said to Bai Lisu.

"Big Chief, should we go directly to the crown prince, or should we report to the imperial court first?" asked Shirakasa.

"This matter cannot be reported to the imperial court at present, we can only discuss it quietly with the crown prince!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Xiaolou and Bai Lisu found the prince and told the prince what happened.

"The Tibetans have long been rebellious, it seems that this is the first step in their action, there must be a huge conspiracy in this! There is another thing, there are their inner ghosts in the court, so this matter must be kept secret! Then we will secretly investigate this matter, and we must dig out these inner ghosts, otherwise, everything we have is in their hands, then, we will be passive!" said the prince.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, what should we do next?" Jiang Xiaolou asked.

"I have a great idea!" the Crown Prince motioned for them to come closer.

After they approached, the prince whispered a few words in their ears and said, "Remember?"

"Remember, rest assured, Your Highness, we will complete the mission. ”

Jiang Xiaolou returned to the city wall to continue patrolling, and a guard captain reported that the Lord Guozijian had sent someone to say that the library had entered the library and had been turned into a mess, and the Lord Guozijian said that he asked the chief to send someone to help catch the thief.

Jiang Xiaolou listened, so he sent two guards who were good at catching thieves, tired for a few hours, the guards of the city also changed shifts, and he was also a little physically exhausted, so he went back to rest.

On the side of Fengming Pavilion, Xu Manlu went back with someone, and returned to the secret room, Xu Manlu said: "This mission was completed very well, and I got the things without much effort, I will report to the big boss and reward you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, this is what we should do. "Everyone.

"This time, we also have to thank our allies for their help, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get things so smoothly!" Xiao Gongzi said.

Speaking of this ally, Xu Manlu couldn't help but think of Lou Qingyue, I don't know what happened to him!

"Let's all go back and rest!"

"Yes!

After everyone left, Xu Manlu pushed open the window, looked at the moon in the sky, and prayed in her heart: The god is above, and he will definitely bless Brother Lou to be safe and sound!

If you want to know what happened next, let's see the next analysis.
