Things were as Li Jiangyao expected, and soon after, the imperial capital came.

However, the person who came was what everyone didn't expect - Murong Xue's father, Murong Qianqiu.

Hearing that it was the head of the Murong family who came in person, and he had the relationship of a good brother, Li Jiangyao hurriedly ordered his subordinates to accompany him to greet him.

At the same time, he didn't forget to joke with Du Jian: "Do you want to cut the old man?" ”

Du Jian shook his head with a wry smile and waved his hand at him again and again.

Li Jiangyao set up a banquet for Murong Qianqiu in the Taishou Mansion in Luzhou, and all the high-ranking officers of the Zhenjiang Army accompanied him, giving the old man enough face.

What's the matter, Murong Qianqiu has just experienced the pain of losing a child, and he has a lot of heart, even if everyone is very enthusiastic, he still can't be happy.

Finally ended the dinner, and Murong Qianqiu motioned to Li Jiangyao, hoping to chat alone in private.

Li Jiangyao agreed with a smile, led the restless Murong Qianqiu to the study, and personally poured him a cup of hot tea for sobering.

The old man sighed and said bitterly: "Dadu Hu, please save your life." ”

"Uncle, Murong Xue and I are like brothers, you can say anything if you have something." Li Jiangyao said for a long time: "The imperial court asked you to come, right?" ”

Murong Qianqiu nodded: "That's right." Mostly protect ......"

Li Jiangyao raised his hand to interrupt him: "Don't call me Daduhu, just call me by my name." ”

"Hey, the old man is disrespectful." Murong Qianqiu sighed: "Jiang Yao, you three brothers, this time you have to pass the difficulty." A few days ago, Tian Mu, the imperial historian, came to me and said that Xue'er and Youchang were injured by the assassins and were in serious condition, and hoped that I could come to Luzhou in person and ask you to visit them in the imperial capital. Alas, these people are really bad and stupid! ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Murong Qianqiu sneered: "My son was injured, and he didn't let me, as a father, visit first, but he was in a hurry to let his sworn brother run all the way over, isn't there something wrong with his brain?" Besides, even if I want to inform you, it is enough to send a fast horse messenger, so why bother to ask the old man to run around? They harbor evil intentions and don't even bother to cover them up, which shows that they have already moved their minds and deliberately want to persecute you. ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly, and asked, "I guess, Tian Mu is threatening you with something important." ”

"Your aunt, and some relatives in the imperial capital, are all controlled by them," Murong Qianqiu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The surnamed Tian is too small to look down on the Murong family, after this limelight, if the old man doesn't toss his Tian family up and down, he will be mixed in the rivers and lakes in vain!" ”

Li Jiangyao smiled knowingly and asked, "What happened to Murong Xue and Xu Youchang?" ”

Murong Qianqiu replied: "The old man spent money to buy off the people in the palace, saying that the two of them are okay for the time being, but they are locked up in the Yeting Palace and can't go anywhere." Jiang Yao, what should I do next? I said in my heart that the old man didn't want you to go to the tiger's den in Longtan, but your aunt had to think of a way. ”

Li Jiangyao smiled freely: "Uncle, aunt and the safety of your family, you don't have to worry about it anymore." The day I arrived in the imperial capital, that is, when my aunt and they left, all the links were in charge of the Zhenjiang army. ”

"What? Are you really going to go to the imperial capital? Murong Qianqiu said worriedly: "Child, knowing that they have bad intentions, why do you still break in?" ”

"Because my three good brothers, all there."

"Three?"

Murong Qianqiu was a little puzzled and looked at Li Jiangyao suspiciously.

Li Jiangyao didn't explain to him, but asked, "In addition to asking me to go to the imperial capital, what else did Tian Mu say?" ”

Murong Qianqiu responded: "I didn't say anything else. Jiang Yao, listen to your uncle's advice, don't take risks. On the way here, I carefully calculated that Xue'er had a good relationship with the emperor, and now she has become a colt again; As for the friend, the family background is illustrious and the network is very extensive, and they will be fine. All you need is for you to send some competent men, and I will scatter some gold and silver, and dredge up relations, and we will try to get your aunt out secretly. ”

"Uncle, don't worry about this matter," Li Jiangyao said with a smile: "Wait for your aunt in Luzhou in a down-to-earth manner." Three days later, I'll be on my way, and it won't be long before you'll be together. ”

-

In three days, Li Jiangyao began to make some deployment preparations, and after everything was arranged, he stepped on his horse and embarked on the journey to the imperial capital under the escort of two thousand white-robed troops.

Just after Li Jiangyao left the Luzhou camp, the defense line along the river of the Zhenjiang Army suddenly began to shrink, and a large number of troops moved to the second line, which looked extremely unusual.

At the same time, the Suzaku Army and the Xuanwu Army, which were located in the upper and lower reaches of the Great River, also made moves, and some troops left their defense areas and marched towards the east and west of the Zhenjiang Army.

The inexplicable murderous aura is condensing and pervading the Jiangbei area.

However, Li Jiangyao did not care about these disturbing situations. Now what he cares about most is the next trip to the imperial capital.

Li Bing, the young emperor of the Holy Tang Dynasty, what did he want to do?

With this curiosity, Li Jiangyao crossed the mountains and mountains and galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the capital of Shengtang.

At this time, more than half a month has passed since the bloody wedding, and the imperial capital has also lifted the original high-tension state of martial law at this time. Although there are still a large number of forbidden troops patrolling the streets, the bustling scene of the past is gradually recovering.

Li Jiangyao's guards displayed a clear banner outside the city gate, and the banner of the commander of the Zhenjiang army was displayed in the wind, which was particularly conspicuous.

This majestic cavalry team dressed in white robes immediately attracted the attention of the people. Soon, someone recognized them.

"Look! It's the Zhenjiang Army! ”

"The Zhenjiang Army is back! The Zhenjiang Army is back! ”

"Oh my God, that's the handsome flag of the capital guard!"

"White-robed army! It's Li Dadu's white-robed army! ”

"Long live the Zhenjiang Army! Long live Dadu Protector! ”

The people were instantly excited, shouting everywhere, and more and more people ran out of their homes and stores and poured into both sides of the street to welcome Li Jiangyao and the white-robed army.

Everyone still remembers clearly: who recovered the imperial capital, who rescued the people from the hands of the Turks, who sacrificed their lives to extinguish the fire and rescue the people, and who gave them clothes and food to help them rebuild their homes.

Zhenjiang Army, Li Jiangyao, is the savior of this great capital!

The people cheered and warmly greeted the heroes in their hearts, and the scorching atmosphere also directly affected the forbidden army on the street. Countless officers and soldiers raised their swords and guns and shouted salute to Li Jiangyao's ranks.

But the most exaggerated should be those people from Western Xinjiang who lived, traded, and traded in the imperial capital. They helped the old and the young to run into the street, knelt directly in front of Li Jiangyao's war horse, and shouted His Royal Highness the Holy King, trembling with excitement and tears in their eyes.

Seeing this, the captain of the guard finally relieved his heart, and finally understood why Dadu Hu was full of confidence in the trip to the imperial capital.

If the people's hearts are here, who dares to touch me to protect most of them?!

The entire imperial capital city was completely boiling because of Li Jiangyao's arrival, and this news soon spread to the palace, and the monarchs and ministers who were in the upper court were stunned.

Li Bing listened to the faint cheers outside, his face turned pale, and he asked in a deep voice: "Li Jiangyao is here, why don't you report in advance?" And why did he let his 2,000 soldiers enter the city smoothly? ”

The general of the forbidden army replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Dadu's escort march is very secretive, and he even avoided all our scout posts, so Wei Chen didn't know that he would arrive in the imperial capital today. And the matter of the personal soldiers entering the city, the ministers ...... The minister was helpless. As soon as the soldiers guarding the gate saw the banner of the Zhenjiang army, they patronized and cheered and saluted, and there was no thought of stopping them at all. ”

"Idiot!" Li Bing cursed in a low voice, and then asked, "Where are the people now?" ”

The general of the forbidden army replied, "It's still on Suzaku Street." There are so many people that the road has been blocked, and Li Dadu's team is almost unable to move an inch. ”

Li Bingyi patted the dragon case and said angrily: "It's getting more and more unpleasant!" Aren't your prolific armies maintaining order in the streets? How did it come to this? ”

Dong Tianxing couldn't help but laugh, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jiangyao is mostly protecting against the Turks and is deeply loved by the people, which is really normal. If the forbidden army is allowed to drive away, it will hurt the people's hearts. ”

Wei Zixuan's eyes rolled and he said, "Your Majesty, forcibly driving out the people at this time is indeed not conducive to the emperor's holy reputation. It's better to do this, you issued a decree and ordered Li Jiangyao to go to the Horse Mansion to rest for a while, waiting for the summons. Of the 2,000 guards, only 100 were left in the city, and the rest all withdrew from the imperial capital and settled in the forbidden army camp. ”

Li Bing nodded approvingly: "Well-thought-out, very good, as planned." ”

The chamberlain received the decree, accompanied by the generals of the forbidden army, ran all the way out of the imperial city, and announced the emperor's intention on the street. Li Jiangyao obeyed the rules and obeyed the order, and then led the team to leave Suzaku Street and go straight to Chengenfang.

To be honest, Wei Zixuan's suggestion was very negative.

At this time, Murong Xue was under house arrest in the Yeting Palace, the so-called Horse Mansion, where only a princess of Fenyang lived. Although Li Jiangyao and Murong Xue are like brothers, it is not suitable to live in his mansion temporarily under such circumstances.

Of course, Li Jiangyao can see this little trick clearly, but he doesn't care at all. The reason is simple, the Intelligence Division has been well prepared for this.

As soon as Li Jiangyao arrived at the Horse Mansion, he first sent someone in to pass the ceremony, and then met Princess Fenyang according to the rules.

After fulfilling the courtesies of his courtiers and brothers, he immediately got up to say goodbye and turned to the Hu Mansion next door.

The owner of Hu Mansion is Hu Yufei, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. The old man is seventy years old, and he has been retired for many years. Not long after the imperial capital was recovered, Lord Hu returned here from his hometown Taiyuan, half a month earlier than the imperial court.

This time Li Jiangyao came to Beijing, and the Intelligence Department specially found Hu Yufei, hoping to let Dadu Hu live in his house temporarily.

Hu Lao immediately said that thanks to the protection of most of the capital, the mansion will be full of brilliance, and he will meet the clouds at that time.

Therefore, after seeing Li Xi, Li Jiangyao left two captains on duty to accept the will of the palace at any time, and he went to drink and chat with Hu Yufei.
