Liu Xun got up early in the morning, the palace people served to wash, he took the soft towel handed by Xu Sang and wiped his hands, walked out of the house and looked up at the sky, the sky was clear. He stretched his arms and chest, moved his body, and said, "It's really good weather." He seemed to knowingly ask, "Today is September 15." ”

Xu Sang said: "It's September 15th. ”

Liu Xun didn't speak again, and went back to the house, where the palace people had already set up breakfast. He was absent-minded, took a bite of the steamed cake, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, tilted his head and asked Xu Sang: "You say, what will be the scene in front of the Tingwei Mansion today." ”

"I've heard that a lot of vendors have taken their places there early. There are also wealthy officials who have built pergolas there, which must be as lively as a bazaar. After Xu Sang finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and held back again, the expression on his face became very weird.

Liu Xun didn't pay attention, but he was thinking about his own thoughts, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile. However, he was still hesitant to go to the Tingwei Mansion.

At this time, an inner attendant came in and whispered a few words to Xu Sang, Xu Sang bowed forward and said, "Shi Shizhong has been standing outside the palace for a long time. ”

Liu Xun put down the silver chopstick, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did he ask to see him?" ”

"Nope. Just waiting for the period door. Xu Sang replied.

Liu Xun snorted and didn't ask again. Xu Sang glanced at it secretly, couldn't guess what he meant, and stood with his hands down.

Liu Xun stuffed the last piece of steamed cake into his mouth, the waiter handed him a soft towel, he wiped his hands, got up and said, "Let's go, go to Tingwei's Mansion." ”

Xu Sang hurriedly hurried a few steps and said, "I'll go and prepare." ”

Liu inquired: "Don't take advantage of the public opinion, go over." ”

Shi Gao went to the east of Weiyang Palace early in the morning to wait, he estimated that the emperor would go to the Tingwei Mansion today, so he ordered Yulin Military Captain Twelve Lang to lead the Yulin Army to guard the various intersections leading to the Tingwei Mansion. After making meritorious contributions in Liuli Town and Chiyang Guest House, Twelve Lang has been promoted from the Marquis of the Yulin Army to the captain.

Yesterday, he was not idle, and took stock of the whereabouts of the ten prisoners with Pang Meng, Chun Yu and others were under control, but Song Bo was nowhere to be found. However, Pang Meng said that Yuan Liulang would not go wrong with this ancestor and grandson.

It stands to reason that the matter of arson should be Pang Meng's most concerning, after all, it is related to his life and death, but in fact, it is Shi Gao who is the most worried.

He saw that the emperor was very concerned about this matter, putting aside the love and hatred with the Huo family, if the ten prisoners of Shuo Fang were brought to justice on schedule, it would be a good story of faith and fearlessness of life and death, highlighting the emperor's sage and the goodness of the people in today's prosperous world. However, if someone misses the date, it will be troublesome, not only will the emperor's ardent expectations of faithfulness be disappointed, but also the ten prisoners of Shuofang will also be in danger, which is also the result that the Huo family wants to see the most. Therefore, he will do his best to bring the arson case to a perfect conclusion.

Shi Gao was nervous and wandered beside the east gate of Weiyang Palace. The autumn morning was a little cool, and the Praetorian soldiers guarding the palace stood there shivering, still wearing single clothes. He was so hot that he couldn't help but tear open some collars, and suddenly felt that someone was tugging at the placket of his clothes, and when he looked down, it was Ou Ye.

Ou Ye looked up and smiled: "Senior brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Shi Gao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said impatiently: "Go, I have something important today, and I don't have time to take care of you." ”

Ou was also annoyed, glared at him fiercely, and replied, "Who wants to take care of you." ”

Shi Gao was stunned by him for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he also felt that something was wrong, so he quickly took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve, attached it, squeezed out some smiles, and said in a kind tone: "Xiaoye, I really have something important today, you can take the money to buy something to eat." ”

Ou also sniffed dissatisfiedly, and pouted, "Who wants your money." I've done you so much, and you've treated me like that. One day, I met the master and asked him to comment on it. ”

Shi Gao was startled when he heard this, his expression was strange, and he stared at Ou Ye. Ou Ye smirked, snatched the copper coin in his hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

Shi Gao stepped forward and grabbed him, and said, "It's my senior brother's fault, and I apologize to you." "Bow your hand. Ou Ye was relieved.

Shi Gao didn't dare to pick him up anymore, so he didn't have anything to say, and asked, "Where have you been these days?" ”

Ou Ye said: "What is the best place to go, just wander around." He suddenly rolled his eyes, raised his face, approached Shi Gao, and said mysteriously, "I got a good thing yesterday." ”

Shi Gao flashed back vigilantly and said, "Speak well." ”

Ou also snorted, looked at him, and said disdainfully: "You don't have a money bag on you." With that, he took out a bag from his bosom, reached out and took out a black object, and shook it as if showing off.

Shi Gao disagreed, pouted and said, "This is something good." ”

Ou Ye said: "I didn't care about it originally, but the more I look at it, the more strange it becomes." ”

Shi Gao was curious, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me." ”

Ou Ye first subconsciously dodged back, and then handed it over with a smile.

Shi Gao took it, only glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and his mouth opened wide in surprise. He looked at it again and again, and his expression became more and more solemn.

This object is only half a piece, made in the shape of a crouching tiger, with huge eyes, big ears, teeth, four legs bent and lying, long tail rolled up, and the inscription on the back of the wrong gold seal book, which is: "The talisman of the forbidden army, the right is in the emperor, and the left is in the north camp." ”

He was incredulous and stayed for a long time before muttering, "Tiger Talisman." "This is the tiger talisman of the emperor's requisition of the forbidden army in the northern camp, and it is actually in the hands of a street child.

"Where did you get this?" Shi Gao looked serious.

Seeing his expression, Ou Ye couldn't help but panic, and said, "This is what I picked up, I really picked it up." ”

"Where did you pick it up?"

"Chengbei Commercial Street." Ou also recounted the situation at that time.

Shi Gao thought for a while and was about to ask a question again, but Ou Ye suddenly pointed to the east gate of Weiyang Palace and exclaimed, "Senior brother, look, that's Master." Hey, how did he get out of the palace?"

Shi Gao looked back, dressed in civilian clothes, Liu Xun Shi Ran stepped out of the palace gate.

Ou was about to run over, but Shi Gaoyi grabbed him, patted his head, and said, "What master, master, he is the emperor." Don't be rude. ”

"Emperor? Is it ——, ——, is the emperor? Ou was also stunned, and stayed for a long time before raising his left hand above his head, making a very tall gesture, and stammering.

Shi Gao nodded, and didn't explain much to him, called Twelve Lang, and ordered: "Later, the monarch will go to the Tingwei Mansion, and I may have something urgent to leave for a while." You must be well guarded with the Yulin Army. ”

Twelve Lang arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”

While speaking, Liu Xun had already arrived in front of him, and Shi Gao and Twelve Lang bowed down to greet him. Ou also stood there, looking up at Liu Xun, at a loss.

Liu Xun touched the top of his head and said with a smile: "Xiaoye, why are you here." Ou also snorted and was speechless.

Shi Gao glanced at Twelve Lang, who bowed his head and took Ou Ye back.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Gao stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm for Liu Xun to see.

Liu Xun glanced at it casually, and when he saw it clearly, his face changed suddenly: "Tiger Fu? ”

"The Tiger Talisman of the Beiying Forbidden Army, Xiao also picked it up." Scrooh Road.

"Picked up?"

"Yes. Xiao also said that he picked it up from an elderly man in Chengbei Commercial Street yesterday afternoon. The man fell asleep for some unknown reason. ”

Liu Xun snorted: "This thing will also be picked up." He was really angry in his heart, the tiger talisman could dispatch the forbidden army, how could he pick it up casually, someone would definitely steal it from the Xuanshu Palace.

"I actually stole it to the Xuanshu Palace, but I can't bear it." His expression was grim, and his eyes were blazing at Shi Gao: "Who is that old man?" ”

Shi Gao hesitated for a moment, and then muttered: "The minister only knew about this, so he went to investigate immediately." ”

Only then did Liu Xun remember that Shi Gao had just gotten this tiger talisman from Ou Ye. He waved his hand: "This thief should be the one who passed it on." He frowned.

Shi Gao lowered his hands and stood solemnly, nervously watching the change in Liu Xun's expression.

Liu Xun gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Stealing the tiger talisman is audacious." You say how to deal with this matter. ”

"Stealing the tiger talisman is a rebellion, and this is ironclad evidence. The minister immediately went to the northern camp to find out who intended to send the forbidden army. Shi Gao thought to himself, the tiger talisman was stolen in the palace, how to track it down, you must make an order. I'll go and stabilize the forbidden army first.

"Okay, I'll give you the Tiger Talisman, and you can see the opportunity to act."

"Whoa." Shi Gao looked solemn and bowed. Liu Xun had a gloomy face, didn't look at him, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, followed closely by a group of palace guards in civilian clothes.

Shi Gao turned over and got on the horse, and was about to start, but he still didn't seem to be at ease, so he turned his horse and told Twelve Lang: "There are many people on this street, you must protect the king, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Twelve Lang looked solemn and arched his hand: "Obey." ”

He caught a glimpse of Ou Ye again, so he beckoned over, leaned down, and said with a kind attitude: "Xiao Ye, you also know the identity of your master, there is something important today, you go to play by yourself, and when the matter is done, I will go to you." As he spoke, he patted Ou Ye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The bounty will not be less." Ou also nodded sensibly, turned around and ran.

Shi Gao saw him running away, shook his head with a smile, and then galloped towards the camp of the forbidden army in the north camp outside the city.
