At the beginning of Yang Yuyao's bath, her eyes were like silk, and she wrapped her wet hair with a silk scarf, and Luo Qizhong could not hide her graceful posture.

When she heard that Li Siye left suddenly, she hurriedly chased her out of the door.

An Lushan hurriedly followed and persuaded him: "Auntie, don't chase after you, leave early."

Yang Yuyao asked him: "What happened, why did he go in such a hurry."

An Lushan said with a smile: "My nephew just told him a ghost story, maybe he was scared."

Yang Yuyao rolled his eyes: "It's not serious, let's pack up and prepare to go back to Chang'an, maybe we can catch up with the sage to pull out the lamp."

It is very difficult to walk at night, even if it is a thoroughfare from the Hot Spring Palace to the outside of Chang'an City, there is inevitably a narrow ditch on the road due to soil erosion, and the lantern in his hand can only illuminate the range of three zhang, although the horse's eyesight at night is stronger than that of people, but Li Siye does not dare to drive it to run wildly, only when the full moon comes out of the clouds, he swings the horsewhip and whips a few times on the horse's buttocks.

The brightly lit Chang'an City was already close in front of him, and Li Siye saw the people of Jingzhao counties on the way, carrying the night light to Chang'an City. The four or nine gates of the outer city have been closed, leaving only the Mingde Gate, a city gate passage into the city, of course, there are soldiers to strictly investigate.

Li Siye showed the fish bag and fish charm, and Chengmen Lang hurriedly let him in.

He rode his horse for a short while, and had to walk with his horse, and there were too many people in front of him. These people, who usually huddle in the curfew of various squares, are completely liberated today, and I am afraid that no one will stay at home, and they will all be congested on the streets of Chang'an City.

According to the direction of the flow of people, most people focus on the square in front of Xingqing Palace. There is a big lamp tower that attracts the attention of the world in one fell swoop, it is a hundred-zhang high lamp mountain, although the lamp mountain is not fully lit up at this moment, but its majestic posture is enough to make hundreds of people stop and look up.

Men and women crowded the streets, moving as slowly as a swarm of ants, and the smell of men's sweat mixed with the smell of women's powder, surging forward with the north wind.

When he reached the area of Pingkangfang, he could no longer lead the horse forward, so he had to lead the horse back to the backyard and then travel alone.

But he just walked out of the gate of Pingkangfang, was about to squeeze into the crowd, looked up at the direction of Xingqing Palace Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, stretched out the lamp room suddenly ignited a fire, the crowd sounded screams, pushing the crowded flow of people towards him, he crowded forward in the turbulent sea of people, but he could not resist the power of the masses, not only did not advance, but retreated to the fang.

"!" Li Siye shouted irritably, and in desperation, he decided not to take the usual path, entered from the gate of the East Market, climbed over the wall, jumped directly onto the roof, avoided the crowd along the roof, and approached the front of Xingqing Palace as soon as possible.

The tile ridges on the various shops in the East City provided him with the best walking route, and he heard a scream while running, the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower was collapsing downward, but the raging fire was surging upward, like a fireball jumping on the ground, and the air emitted a strong smell of grease, he could even feel the heat wave coming from close range, such a thing happened, could he still successfully break into the Xingqing Palace?

Fortunately, the lamp tower only partially caught fire and collapsed, and did not cause a larger flame explosion, and the section of the lamp room that stretched out smashed on the heavy eaves and openings of the third floor of the calyx building, causing a local fire.

A martial artist in the shop held a long stick, pointed at him walking on the roof and shouted, "What's the matter with you? If you don't go on a good night road, you have to go to the roof! Isn't it a thief, get out of here!"

Li Siye ignored it at all, and continued to walk along the roof towards Xingqing Palace, if there was a large gap in the middle of the shop, he could pass through the walls.

He finally stepped on the ground in the northeast corner of the East City, and the martial marquis who tried to warn him chased after him, grabbed the stick and stood opposite, and shouted angrily: "Bold thief, do you want to take advantage of the fire to rob?"

"Robbery!" Li Siye shook the fish bag and fish talisman on his waist: "I am an official of the imperial court, hurry up and get out of the way for me." ”

This Wuhou hesitated for a moment, hurriedly dodged to the side, and waited for Li Siye to leave before muttering: "It's just that the mother is an official of the imperial court, and he can't walk from the roof." ”

He walked out of the east gate of Dongshi, and due to the retreat and congestion of the crowd just now, the density of lantern watchers on the vertical street has decreased a lot. He jumped down from the top of the wall and began to move along the street against the retreating flow of people, and came to the outside of the Calyx Tower of Xingqing Palace, only to be blocked by the soldiers of the Longwu Army guarding here.

He took off the fish bag and fish talisman on his waist and said: "I am Li Siye, the general of the western part of the city, and I have 100,000 urgent things to face. ”

The Longwu soldier pushed the fish talisman over with both hands, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, General Li, General Chen Xuanli has an order, no one is allowed to enter the palace tonight without his permission." ”

"Can't even me?" A woman's voice came from behind him.

Li Siye looked back, but it was Yang Yuyao standing in the north wind wearing a fox fur and a purple-maned horse on his head, followed by panting servants.

The soldiers didn't recognize who the person was, and repeated what they had just said: "General Chen Xuanli has an order, and no one is allowed to enter the palace without his permission." ”

"Presumptuous! I'm Mrs. Yang's real sister! ”

The soldier bowed down and half-knelt forward and said: "The military order is like a mountain, please don't embarrass your subordinates, if you insist on facing the saint, you can allow your subordinates to report to Chen Xuanli first." “

"Then hurry up!" Yang Yuyao said in a coquettish voice, and after she said that, she proudly faced Li Siye: "You can't do it, let me catch up if you leave so early." ”

Li Siye looked up at her, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a sweeping arrow shadow high and cut through the sky, and its tail dragged a long rope, and it actually threw over the roof of Shengye Fang opposite.

"I don't have to report it now!" Li Siye turned around and ran towards the opposite Shengye Fang, looking up at the sky as he ran, first a person slipped over his head, followed by a man and a woman sliding along the rope together, and the sound of crushing bricks sounded on the roof.

He rushed into the door of Shengye Fang, looking up at the rooftops they had fallen on, and traced the winding alley as he traced his past. When he arrived at the place, he realized that this was the backyard of a Taoist temple, and the gate was bolted from the inside, so he had to jump over the wall and jump in.

Li Siye quickly ran to the main hall of the Taoist temple, and his eyes happened to see the last figure fall under the dark passage, and the last person who swooped down buckled the stone slab.

He pulled up the slate with both hands, and suddenly a cold arrow was released, Li Siye was frightened and turned his head to dodge, the person under the dark passage turned around and fled after an arrow was shot empty, Li Siye jumped down with both hands on the edge of the dark passage, and just landed on the ground with double bending and unloading, and the person who escaped had already slashed at him with a knife.

Seeing him staggering and limping with his right leg, Li Siye immediately opened his mouth and shouted his name: "Dai Wang!" ”

As soon as this person's figure froze, Li Siye quickly grabbed his arm and hit the wall, the knife in his hand was not enough to grasp and fell, and he stepped on it.

"I'm Li Siye."

Dai Wang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with a lost expression: "General Li, I didn't expect you to come to take me personally, you are an official in the west of the city, why do you want to take care of things in the capital?" ”

Li Siye immediately spoke: "The person you follow can't kill the emperor, everything is calculated by them, you can't do it." ”

Dai Wang's eyes widened in disbelief: "That old man fell into the hands of Long Bo, and he only needed to take out a knife to reimburse his life." Why do you say you can't do it? ”

"Listen, Dai Wang, everything you have done, your smooth entry into the palace is due to the self-directed and self-acting of some people, and now although he has escaped, there are still people who protect his life. It's understandable that you are avenging your brother's family, but why do you have to go to Chang'an City to participate in this farce. ”

"You say it's a farce?" Dai Liulang's eyes widened in surprise again.
