The night was deep, in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, at Weidong Wharf, a huge official ship slowly docked.

The accompanying sergeant immediately put down the plank, Li Xuan, Yu Ze and Qiqiao descended from the boat one after another, Li Zhu, Zhou Qian and Su Bao held knives to guard the surroundings and followed quickly.

On the deck, more sergeants were looking around vigilantly, and on the hull, clear traces of swords and arrows could be seen.

Standing on the wharf, Li Xuan looked up and couldn't see, Chang'an City a few miles away was brightly lit, majestic and magnificent, majestic and magnificent, with momentum like a rainbow, a majestic atmosphere.

The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns.

All of them want to fly, and want to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty, the first heroic city.

Chang'an, Chang'an, is finally back.

Unfortunately, there was already a curfew and the city gates were locked.

His eyes fell on the weeping willows not far away, Li Xuan retracted his thoughts, looked to the left and right, and whispered, "Let's go, go to Weichengyi."

"Whoa!" The crowd bowed down and promised.

Weicheng is light and dusty towards the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored.

Now that early autumn has passed, the weeping willow treetops outside the post station have turned a little yellow.

A post guard stood at the door with a respectful expression, watching Li Xuan and the others arrive, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "I've seen all the officials, I don't know if you have official credentials?"

There are many nobles in Chang'an City, there are many big officials, and the post guards are used to seeing officials from the south to the north, and their vicious eyes are fixed on Li Xuan at a glance, and they don't look at Zhou Qian and Su Baotong who are wearing Qianniu guard uniforms.

Li Xuan didn't look at him, and walked directly towards the inside of the post station, but Li Zhu, who was lagging behind, walked over, and the waist card in his hand flashed.

The post soldier's face suddenly changed slightly, and then he immediately gave up his hand and walked in the front, leading Li Xuan forward.

"Ben will not live at the post station tonight, you will prepare a meal for 100 people, send it to the official ship, and use it for a while, and go to Zuo Qianniu Wei Mansion tomorrow to support it." Li Xuan looked sideways at the post guard on the side and whispered.

"Lang Jun, please sit down for a while, and the little one will go to find the post immediately." The post guard hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and then quickly ran to the post station to find the post man, more than 100 people to eat, it was not a trivial matter, he couldn't afford it.

Although it was late at night, there were still many people coming and going, some officials coming and going, some people who were temporarily staying, and even some people with high noses and deep eyes.

Just a few days ago, the saint and the queen of heaven returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, and countless powerful people from the court and China also returned to Chang'an, with a large number of retinues and servants with them, and there are really many people who still stay in Weichengyi.

After a while, when everything settles down, there will be fewer people.

Soon, Yi Cheng ran out of it, and when he saw Li Xuan, the only one sitting there, Yi Cheng hurriedly bowed his hand: "Xiaguan has seen General Zhonglang, and Xiaguan has prepared a separate courtyard, please take a temporary rest for General Zhonglang."

"You can talk." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then under the guidance of Yi Cheng, he walked towards the inside of the post station.

A secluded manor appeared in front of Li Xuan, pushed the door in, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's really good, please prepare a meal for 100 people and send it to the official ship, by the way, there must be a vegetarian meal among them."

Li Xuan deliberately instructed, and Yi Cheng immediately replied, "The lower official obeys the order."

After finishing speaking, Yi Cheng was about to retreat slowly, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Yi Cheng suddenly paused and turned to look at Li Xuan: "General Zhonglang, I don't know if I want to notify the city gate guards to help protect the big ship?"

"Notice?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, glanced at Yi Cheng with some surprise, then calmly turned his head to look at Zhou Qian, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the captain of Chang'an's city gate?"

"Hui Zhonglang General, it is Duan Qiang, the second son of Duan Gong of Baoguo, and Duan Huaichang, the eldest son of Duan Xiaowei, serves in Zuo Qianniu Wei and is close to his subordinates." Su Baotong immediately stepped forward and said the identity of the captain of the city gate in a series of words.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan said, "You write a letter and ask someone to hand it over to the captain of the city gate, and ask him to pass it on to the king of Beiping County, saying that this official will enter the city tomorrow and ask him about my next step."

Li Xuan turned to look at Yi Cheng and said in a deep voice, "This letter must be handed over to the captain of the city gate in person, and no one else is allowed to read it halfway, but

Those who look at it will immediately be stripped of all official positions and sent to prison, you can understand."

"The lower official understands." Yi Cheng's face was already unconsciously a little embarrassed, and he arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Xiaguan will arrange it."

When Yi Cheng left, Yu Ze walked behind Li Xuan and whispered, "A little person who is a little clever, once this little cleverness is not used in the right way, he will immediately be unlucky."

"Not necessarily, the people in this position, maybe it is the eyeliner of which side, Qianniuwei, Jinwuwei, Dali Temple, Chang'an Wannian County, as well as Baiqi Division, internal guards, secret guards, may stand here and install people." Li Xuan shook his hand calmly and said, "Don't worry about him, now that he has arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, let's see if someone is stupid enough to grab the coffin at this time."

Their group traveled from Wuzhou through Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and then back to Luoyang, and then to Shendu, but in the middle of the way, they encountered several successive rushes, aiming at the body of the concubine on the ship.

Fortunately, their line is on the canal, on the big river, they have an absolute advantage with sharp bows and crossbows, and I don't know how many fanatics have died under their arrows.

However, the strange thing is that among those, there are not many Tianyin Sect disciples, and most of them are some people from the rivers and lakes.

And after these people were captured, they did not hesitate to take poison and commit suicide immediately, and the speed was amazing, and it was impossible to figure out their origins.

Li Xuan originally wanted to visit Yuan Jiazuo, the assassin of Hangzhou, Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, and even wanted to go to Suzhou and Runzhou, but in the end he didn't make it, and quickly left the country under the escort of soldiers from various states.

Even in Yangzhou and Luoyang, he didn't stay long, just stayed outside the city for the night, asked the post station to provide food and arrow supplies, and then rushed to Chang'an.

However, since they passed through Luoyang, they have not encountered any attacks.

After all, the Changluo area is the core of the Tang Dynasty's rule.

Even if someone can muster enough men, it will be very difficult to prepare enough crossbows for attack.

Even if someone has this ability, they don't dare to move easily.

Li Xuan didn't know what the value of the queen's body was, but he also believed that no one would be stupid enough to risk being suspected by the emperor and empress.

Not to mention anything else, just a post man of Weicheng Station, his vigilance is terrifying, and he doesn't know who is behind him.

Li Xuan really wants those people to do it tonight.

Weicheng Station is close to Chang'an, and it not only sends Chang'an delicacies, but also some specialties from the Western Regions.

Li Xuan's identity as a general of Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, and the official position under the fourth grade, except for the main and deputy officials of the three provinces, six departments and nine temples, the assassin history of each state, the senior subordinates of the East Palace, the governor of Zhichong Mansion, and the general of the Sixteen Wei, in terms of official positions, there are really few people who are higher than Li Xuan.

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside.

Just after dinner, putting down the chopsticks, Li Xuan saw a team leader wearing a Qianniu guard uniform, walking in from the outside, and when he saw Li Xuan, he immediately gave up: "Subordinate Duan Huaichang has seen it...... I've seen the middle general."

Su Baotong couldn't help but stand up: "Brother Duan, why did you come suddenly, the city gate is closed, how did you get out of the city?"

"The warrant of the king of Beiping was hanged from the city wall." Duan Huaichang explained with a wry smile.

Even he couldn't call the city gate open after nightfall, and even Li Xuan, without the emperor's holy decree, didn't dare to act wantonly.

This is Chang'an, a city gate captain, and he has an official rank from the fifth grade.

Although the official rank is not high, he doesn't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries are involved behind him, and even this position needs the emperor's order.

"Warrant!" Li Xuan looked at Duan Huaichang, Duan Huaichang took out a warrant from his arms and handed it directly to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan opened it and glanced at it, and then said to everyone: "The king of Beiping County has an order, ordering me to enter the city from the Chunming Gate tomorrow until the Zuo Qianniu Guard Office, if there is any change tonight, I can dispatch two teams of elite guards at the city gate with a warrant."

Qianniuwei itself has the authority to transfer the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya, but there are very few people who can be transferred.

But with General Qianniuwei's warrant, they had more soldiers to mobilize.

Looking at Duan Huaichang standing in front of him, Li Xuan still couldn't help but be a little amazed.

The post man just said that he was mobilizing the city gate guards to protect Li Xuan and the others, but in fact, there was an obvious temptation.

As soon as the city gate guards came, they immediately wanted to check Li Xuan's official documents.

He is suspecting that Li Xuan, the Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, will be fake, this vigilant mind is really amazing, but at the same time, there is also a little weirdness.

With this weirdness in mind and a little rest, Li Xuan immediately stood up: "Let's go, let's go back to the boat."

Li Xuan took the lead and walked outside, and the others hurriedly followed.

When he walked to the door of the post station, Li Xuan saw the post man again, nodded to him gently, and then walked out quickly.

Duan Huaichang, who was walking at the end, was just about to leave, but he was pulled by Yi Cheng, and then couldn't help asking: "Duan Lang, that one just now was really Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, how do I remember Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, one surnamed Ren and the other surnamed Cui?"

"You remember correctly, Hu Weng, the one just now was not General Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, but the king of Nanchang who inspected Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, and he was ordered to enter Beijing, so don't ask if you have any extranees." After Duan Huaichang said a word, he quickly left.

"King of Nanchang, no wonder you look so young?" Hu Yicheng suddenly came over.

No wonder there was such a misunderstanding, but then again, when will the king of Nanchang County inspect the school Qianniu Wei Zhonglang will come.

The people of Chang'an don't even ask about the affairs of the world.

In a courtyard not far away, a pair of eyeballs quickly withdrew from the darkness, then turned back.

A middle-aged man with a big beard and a high nose and deep eyes in a gray robe walked quickly into the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, a young woman wearing a red full-breasted skirt with an obvious exotic style fell on the middle-aged man's body at a glance.

The middle-aged man immediately bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness, Qianniuwei is not coming for us, the one just now is Wuzhou who has just returned to Beijing, and the inspector Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang will be the king of Nanchang County, Li Xuan."

"Is it the king of Nanchang who is called a model for the clan by the saint?" The woman's nose is hung with a small white bead curtain, and she can't really see her face, but her face is slender and long.

The guards standing around were all Turkic guards with scimitars at their waists.

The young woman is the same, with a high nose and deep eyes, listening to the name and looking at it, this is actually a Turkic noblewoman.

This Turkic noblewoman seemed to have heard of Li Xuan's name, and couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "When I was in Shendu, I heard that he was able to break the conspiracy of the Tianyin Sect single-handedly, and was granted a separate drive in Wuzhou and went to the southeast, why did he come back again."

"Your Highness, on the ninth day of the first month of this month, it is the wedding day of the king of Nanchang, and he is married to the granddaughter of the left servant of Shangshu and the county prince of Lecheng." The beard immediately mentioned it to the young noblewoman.

"The ninth day of the first month, that is, the day we do it...... What are we going to take advantage of his marriage?" The young Turkic noblewoman immediately couldn't help but stand up, walked to the door, and looked solemnly at Li Xuan, who walked into the distance under the lights of the big ship.

"Go and sort out all the intelligence information of this king of Nanchang, I want to see it." The Turkic noblewoman's expression was extremely serious, she looked at her subordinates and said, "I don't want a chess piece that can be used casually to become a wolf that bites people, and we can't make mistakes in our affairs."

"Whoa!" The Turkic soldiers present immediately complied.

However, no one saw it, and at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly glanced back.
