"Knock Knock ......"

The time has arrived, with the sound of the gong sounding in Kyoto, the time has come, the song and dance performance in the Weiyang Palace has come to an end, surrounded by many princes and grandchildren, the Queen Mother has staggered to the center of the stage, this lasted three months, hundreds of fine functions will build the stage is the highest building in the Weiyang Palace, but also the best foothold in the field of vision, the Son of Heaven Li Biao supported the Queen Mother, he wants to personally accompany his mother to appreciate the brilliant Han River.

"It's time!" The white-haired old man heard the sound of gongs outside, stood up suddenly, moved quickly outside the courtyard, looked at the imperial city not far away, and muttered to himself, "It's time to get back my Daqin's things." ”

The sky changed, gusts of wind blew, dark clouds covered the already imperfect moon, and in an instant, the sky and the earth lost color, as if to indicate the injustice of heaven and earth.

At the east gate of Kyoto City, Xu Jianping, who came all the way, lay on the horse's back, unable to stop vomiting, if it wasn't for the help of the people at the post station to forcibly tie it to the horse's back with a belt, I am afraid that Xu Jianping would have fallen off the horse halfway.

"Stop, who's coming?"

Xu Jianping endured the discomfort in his abdomen and looked up, "Xu Jianping in the Lower Imperial History Mansion, open the city gate quickly!" ”

The city gate guards on night duty in the east of the city obviously hadn't reacted yet, and shouted loudly above the city tower, "No matter who you are, no one is allowed to enter the Queen Mother's birthday banquet or the night of the forbidden city." ”

Xu Jianping's body was already weak and speechless at the moment, thinking that he was desperately running for the danger of this capital, but now he had to get the door and did not enter, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and directly kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the horse had to rush directly towards the city gate, "I have something important to do and must enter the city, see who dares to stop me!" ”

Above the city gate, several city gate guards actually shot arrows directly with bows, "whoosh" several arrow feathers galloped towards the horses, "bang", the horses inserted several arrow feathers into the body, and fell to the ground with a bang.

At the city gate, Li Yuan, the captain of the city gate, heard the report of his subordinates, Xu Jianping's three words surprised him, and heard that Xu Jianping shot his subordinates into a hedgehog, his face was directly red, and his green tendons were exposed, he stood up, slapped his subordinates in the face, and scolded angrily, "You, you, you dare to shoot him, see if I don't kill you", so he dragged out a long knife directly from behind him, and prepared to draw a knife and cut it at the person who came to report.

The subordinates originally thought that it was just to shoot an embroidered royal history who trespassed on the city gate was at most a fight between the two departments, but they never thought that their boss would directly draw a knife to cut himself, and he was shocked, and his legs were weak and he knelt down directly, begging for mercy, "Lord Li spares his life, his subordinates have reminded him, but he insists on trespassing, and his subordinates have no choice but to order the arrows." ”

A few people beside him also hurriedly grabbed him, and dissuaded him one after another, "My lord is angry, it's just an embroidered royal history, and we are reasonable, even if the matter goes to the yamen, they can't do anything with us." ”

Li Yuandao, the captain of the city gate, couldn't cut it down, or stretched out his legs on the spot and kicked his subordinates a few times, and said a little sadly, "Are you afraid of the revenge of the Imperial History Mansion?" If it's an ordinary embroidered royal history, you know who he is? That's Xu Jianping, the great benefactor of our entire garrison in the east of the city, if it wasn't for Lord Xu's help last time, we would still be standing here safe and sound. ”

The subordinates finally understood, it turned out that the person who shot out to drive away the man-eating monster that morning was Xu Jianping, but the big guy didn't know his name, plus the big night, he couldn't see the appearance of the person on the city gate tower at all, so everyone didn't connect today's people with the events of that day, and now listening to Lord Li Yuan's reminder, his face was like ashes in an instant, and he and others killed his great benefactor with their own hands, and it felt that it was better to die than himself.

The following twenty or thirty people who were rescued by Xu Jianping that day knew that the person under the city tower was Xu Jianping, all of them looked at each other, their faces were full of shame, and under the leadership of Li Yuan, they opened the city gate and ran towards the place where Xu Jianping fell with a bang.

Li Yuan, the captain of the city gate, threw himself down in front of the horse directly, and cried apologetically, "Engong, Li can't stand you!" The mistakes made by my brothers will be borne by my brothers, one life for another! ”

After that, Li Yuan, the captain of the city gate, knocked his head directly to the ground three times, and then pulled out a short knife from his waist and was about to plunge it into his abdomen.

"Who am I, don't cry, I'm not dead!" Suddenly, the horse spoke, and a haggard voice came out.

"You, you!"

"What am I, don't come and help me down." After seeing the horses, a figure swayed.

Li Yuan, the captain of the city gate, stared at it, and a pale and haggard face was imprinted in front of him, it was Lord Xu Jianping Xu, the embroidered imperial historian.

Li Yuan hurriedly ran over and helped Xu Jianping up, "My lord, you, are you okay?" ”

It turned out that when the horse was halfway through, due to long-term fatigue, and Xu Jianping's own injuries had not healed, he fell directly from the horse's back, fortunately, it was this fall that avoided becoming a hedgehog with the horse, Xu Jianping shook his head, made himself a little sober, and said, "Lord Li, don't get in the way, don't gossip, the imperial city is in trouble, the Queen Mother's birthday feast will be terminated immediately, everyone will withdraw from Weiyang Palace, go and notify quickly, quickly, quickly, otherwise it will be too late......" After speaking, Xu Jianping couldn't hold on anymore, and closed his eyes, passed out again.

"Lord Xu, Lord Xu wake up, what is the trouble in the imperial city, you can make it clear, this is not ......" It's just that now Xu Jianping has completely passed out, leaving this section and a half, which made the city gate guards stunned for a moment.

Li Yuan didn't listen to his words like a joke, and he was convinced of Xu Jianping's character, so without saying a word, he directly handed Xu Jianping over to his subordinates to take care of, and stepped on a horse, "Take care of Lord Xu, Li will come ......when he goes."
