On Xiao Rui's side, the two did not go to the direction of Chang'an, but an ordinary carriage and walked on the official road to the east, which is also in the direction of Luoyang.

"Childe, why don't you really look for someone?" On the way, Li Junxian asked the puzzle in his heart, after all, it was too dangerous for the prince of a country to be alone.

Xiao Rui smiled: "They deliberately let it go, why are you looking for it?" Since His Majesty dared to let it out, of course, he arranged for someone to protect him secretly. ”

Li Junxian asked: "The prince is only eleven years old, why did he let him out?" Just because you don't want to study with you? ”

"Fifth brother, you'd better not ask, it's not good for you to know too much." Xiao Rui quipped.

Forehead......

Li Junxian changed the topic with interest, "Then why do we want to go to Luoyang?" You shouldn't be in the limelight right now. ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "Hey, it's also a helpless move. It's even more dangerous to show up in Chang'an. You can go to Luoyang to play for a few days and hide, and we have acquaintances in Luoyang. ”

Acquaintance? Where are acquaintances in Luoyang? Li Junxian thought about it for a long time and didn't know who was in Luoyang.

In the large wooden box of the caravan wagon, narrow and dark, it was dark and dark, and Li Chengqian was gagged and his hands and feet tied. I felt like I was in a hurry for a while, and my head was swollen when I was touched in the box.

What Xiao Rui said when he left Xiaojiazhuang: If you leave here and return to the palace, it may not be as good as here.

Thinking about it now, Li Chengqian's intestines are all repentant, although Xiao Rui is hateful, he is always in charge of food and housing, and he is not so abusive. Now I've been kidnapped and put in a box, so it's clear that I didn't treat me as a person.

"Woo, I don't know if my father found out that I lost it? Send someone to save me. Li Chengqian shed tears sadly.

If he knew that his father was arrested while watching him be arrested, I don't know if he would continue to cry.

The shopkeeper of the caravan outside urged: "Since this kid is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it won't be long before Chang'an City will search for him." We can't take the official road anymore, change the path, throw away all the goods on this trip, and only transport this one car. ”

"The shopkeeper, our merchants are just to sell the good goods of Datang back, so we point to this batch of goods to make money, it's a pity to lose it." The subordinate was distressed.

The shopkeeper reprimanded: "What is this bit of goods? With this meat ticket, what do you want to exchange? Regardless of the fact that all of us will eat and drink for the rest of our lives. ”

"That is, the money bag of this meat ticket alone is worth the profit of this trip." Someone chimed in, apparently wanting to divide the money.

The shopkeeper pretended not to hear, but warned: "Don't feel sorry for these two jujubes." If we don't lose this shipment, we won't be able to go fast. was discovered by the Tang Army, who was looking for people, not to mention making money, his life had to be put in. ”

Everyone was so frightened that their hands trembled, "Then let's unload the goods quickly......"

Unload? Rubbish! If you unload the goods halfway through this wilderness, don't you show the way to the people behind? Find a town in front of you and give a reason to sell the excess goods cheaply. Just leave two cars, so as not to be found by passing checkpoints and say that we are suspicious.

By the way, the fourth, you go back alone and go back to find someone to answer in front of you. As long as we enter the border of Hebei, Chang'an is beyond the reach of the whip, and we are much safer.

Everyone admired the wit of the shopkeeper.

Two days later, on a country road north of Luoyang, the secret guard who had gone to ask for instructions finally returned.

"How? What does it say? To save or not to save? ”

"It said that if you want to save it, you can't let the prince be kidnapped to Goguryeo like this. But we can't rescue the prince back to Chang'an, and we want to save people, but we don't reveal our identities. ”

"Saving people? But without revealing your identity? "The people were in trouble. We are officers and soldiers, we saved the prince, and the prince asked us to send him home, and we pretended not to hear?

Everyone discussed, "Why don't we pretend to be bandits in Hutou Mountain in front?" ”

"Pretending to be a bandit to save people? Are you stupid? The thieves are all robbers and robbers, blocking the road and robbing people, do they have the kind intention to save people? ”

"We're just blocking the road! Those Goguryeo traffickers dared to come to my Datang to sell people, and we killed people and sold goods, which can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven, right? ”

Hey? Don't say it, it makes sense!

"What about His Royal Highness the Prince? Will it be recognized? ”

"We don't kill the old and the young."

Everyone made a plan and started to act, but the gang of five bandits was a bit weak.

"Phew! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth! The captain of the escort shouted loudly.

On the secluded path in the mountains, five big men with knives suddenly burst out, which really frightened the caravan.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's convenient, we are just passing merchants, and the goods have not been delivered yet, and we have no money on them." These two pieces of silver will buy you and your brothers a bowl of tea to drink. ”

"Shopkeeper, what are you afraid of? There are only five of them, and we have ten. "There is a bold disobedience.

"Shut up! How do you know that there are no ambushes in the woods on either side? This is the difference between the trail and the official road, the trail is easy to have bandits, and the official road is safe, but we dare not go. ”

A few people here whispered to each other, and whoever thought that the leader of the 'bandits' on the other side was angry, "Phew! Do you take a tael of silver to send away the begging for food? Brethren, what are we doing? ”

"The sale of murder and overkill!" The other four said in unison.

"What's that going on? Slaughtered! ”

The five of them rushed forward with knives, and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce were not vegetarians, and they said that we were ten, but we couldn't beat the five of you? The two sides soon fought, shouting for killing.

But after a while, the shopkeeper found out that something was wrong, the other party's kung fu was too good, not like an ordinary bandit, how do you look at the murderous aura on that body, like a battlefield veteran? It didn't take much effort for us to fold four people.

"Wait, wait, I have a hostage, your prince of the Tang Dynasty is in your hands, if any of you dare to act rashly, I will kill your prince!"

"Prince? Don't talk nonsense, don't try to lie to us! Keep killing. ”

The shopkeeper let his subordinates resist, opened the box himself, grabbed Li Chengqian, who was tied, pulled out the strip of cloth that was gagged, and shouted on the other party's neck with a knife: "Don't move, he is your prince, if you dare to move, I will kill him." ”

Well???

Everyone stopped. The other four secret guards all looked at the boss of the leader, meaning what should I do? In case of?

The caravan brought the shopkeeper here, and there were only five people left. They were all killed.

"The thief save me, I am really the prince, and the lonely king is really the prince Li Chengqian!" Li Chengqian seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and cried. But how can you call people bandits in front of the bandits?

The leader of the dark guard was in a hurry, and sneered: "I! It turns out that you are a bunch of human traffickers. Just grab a child and tell me that it's the prince of the Tang Dynasty? Don't say that you make a fake, but what if you get a real prince? We are all murderous fugitives on Hutou Mountain, but we don't care whether the prince lives or dies. Even if the real prince comes with a guard of honor, we still have to kill people and oversell goods. ”

"Don't be verbose, kill them all!"

You, you......

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and after such a stunned effort, he was quickly approached by the bandit leader and stabbed in the heart.

Several others also sped up the pace of the fight, and in a short time the caravan was killed.

Li Chengqian shrank in the corner and trembled, "Don't, don't kill me, I, I'm not the prince, I'm really not the prince......"

The expected knife did not appear, and the five men began to clean the battlefield and pack up their goods as if they were deliberately ignoring him.

"Boy, it's your fate. We don't kill the old and the young. You're trafficked, aren't you? Fend for yourself. ”

Eventually, they packed up all their goods, left behind the caravan corpses, and drove away quickly with two wagons.

"Hey, where is this? In which direction is Chang'an located? Li Chengqian asked boldly.

In the distance, the bandit replied, "Go all the way there." ”

"Thank you...... Several...... Bandit warriors. "This title is too Li Chengqian.

As everyone knows, several well-meaning 'bandits' pointed him in the opposite direction of Chang'an. Can you run back to Chang'an by yourself? Then we are appointed to be punished.

Li Chengqian's stomach growled, and when he touched his pocket, he had no money, and suddenly remembered that this group of thieves only took away the goods, as if they forgot to touch the corpse, then my money bag must still be on the shopkeeper. So he had the courage to do the work of touching corpses to make a fortune for the first time.

even plucked up the courage and kicked a few times one by one to vent his hatred. These were quietly watched by a group of secret guards, and they said that this is right. If you don't even dare to touch the corpse, is it still Your Majesty's dragon species?
