Princess Taiping left, Li Zhen stood in front of the window with his hand, staring at a round of clear moon in the distance, Princess Taiping's words seemed to still echo in his ears, "You are the backbone of the Xingtang Society, maintaining the Tang Society, and recovering the Tang Dynasty is your unshirkable responsibility, I hope we will work together to make the Li family live forever."

At this time, Di Yan hugged him tightly from behind, "Husband, I'm really a little scared, how can it be like a gust of wind, it has changed overnight." ”

"The sword was already hidden, and the murderous intent was awesome, but the balance was maintained on the surface, as if it was still peaceful and prosperous, but as soon as the balance was broken, the sword hidden below gushed out, this was a mistake made by the saint, she shouldn't have been crowned with a god, and the balance was broken. ”

"So what do we do?"

Li Zhen turned around and grabbed his wife's shoulders and said to her: "I plan to arrange for you to go to Chang'an, live with your eldest sister, and set off tonight, I am worried that there will be guards to arrest you early tomorrow morning." ”

Di Yan was taken aback, "Mo Feifu Jun rejected Princess Taiping?"

"I didn't refuse her, but I only promised to help her deal with the Wu family, she told me a piece of news, Zhang Yizhi has persuaded the saint to seal Wu Youyi as the general of the Yulin Army, plus Wu Yizong's general of the guard, the Wu family has controlled a lot of troops, which is precisely the weakness of Princess Taiping, so she must win my support. ”

"In that case, we shouldn't be in danger. ”

Li Zhen shook his head, "The problem is not here, the Zhang brothers are bent on killing me, they can completely bypass the Holy Lord to attack me and my family, so I feel that today and tomorrow, they will definitely take action, so I will rush back in such a hurry today." ”

Although Di Yan was willing to face it with Li Zhen, she also became anxious when she thought of her child, "Okay, I'll listen to you, we'll leave Luoyang for Chang'an tonight." ”

She kissed her husband and immediately turned back to the room to pack her things.

Half an hour later, Di Yan and Wang Qingyu took their children, as well as Jiu Zhi and Yao Xi's wives and children into the carriage, Li Zhen put on his armor and led two hundred personal guards to escort three carriages out of the mansion, and slowly walked towards Xiping Gate, and when they arrived at the city gate, the personal guards were coming forward and shouted: "General Li of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion is out of the city, open the door immediately!"

After a while, a general came out and arched his hand at the head of the city and said, "May I ask General Li, is there a holy decree?"

Li Zhen took out a gold medal, held it high, and sneered: "Blind your dog's eyes, see what this is?"

General Lang recognized it as the emperor's gold medal for troop transfer, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate quickly!"

The city gate creaked open, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, Li Zhen was secretly glad, fortunately he didn't go back to the palace first, otherwise the gold medal would be handed over, and he wouldn't be able to get out of the city gate tonight.

"Out of town!"

He shouted an order, two hundred cavalry escorted the carriage out of Xiping Gate, and walked ten miles away from the city, Li Zhen said goodbye to his wife and children, Di Yan took his hand and said: "Husband, we are waiting for you in Chang'an, you must be careful, don't have any mistakes." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful, you guys have a good trip. ”

Li Zhen instructed the pro-soldier team to say a few words, and the pro-soldier team was Yang Chonglie and said: "Please rest assured that the general will never be dishonored in his humble position!"

The carriage started slowly, and Wang Qingyu and the three children all cried, "Take care, husband!"

"Daddy, you must come and pick us up. ”。

Li Zhen ran to a small hill, waved goodbye to his family, and the carriage went farther and farther, and the three carriages gradually disappeared into the distance under the escort of one hundred and fifty cavalry.

"General, they're far away, let's go back!" a soldier whispered.

Li Zhen nodded, turned the horse's head and shouted, "Go back!"

He led dozens of cavalry and galloped towards Chang'an City.

Not long after, everyone entered the city from Xiping Gate, but as soon as Li Zhen entered the city, several cavalry rushed to meet him, led by Zhao Qiuniang, who hurriedly said: "General, I am looking for you everywhere." ”

"What happened?"

Zhao Qiuniang pulled Li Zhen's horse reins aside and whispered to him, "I have found the whereabouts of that Hu monk." ”

Li Zhen was overjoyed, "Where?"

"It's right inside Anrenfang, and a few of my men are staring over there. ”

Li Zhen immediately said to everyone: "Get off the horse and go to Anrenfang!"

Anrenfang was not far away, only two miles away, Li Zhen was worried that the sound of horses' hooves would disturb the target, so he asked two of his subordinates to lead the horses and wait, and he led dozens of his own soldiers to run towards Anrenfang.

Fangmen couldn't stop them, and after a while, they came to a mansion covering an area of about 20 acres, and a hidden guard rushed to report: "General Qiqi, that Hu monk lives in the backyard. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone go over the wall and go in, be careful, when you encounter a patrol post, you will be slaughtered directly." ”

Although Li Zhen didn't know why Shangguan Wan'er asked him to find this Hu monk named Hui Fan, he knew that there must be some major secret hidden in it.

Dozens of people did not encounter any patrols, and soon entered the inner house, surrounded a large house, Li Zhen poked a hole in the back window paper, squinted carefully, and vaguely saw two people sleeping on the bed, snoring like thunder.

At this time, one of the hidden guards smiled and said, "General, let the lowly position deal with them." ”

He lit a stick of incense and reached into the window, and after a while, half of the incense was burned off, and the snoring inside gradually stopped.

"Alright!" the guard laughed.

Li Zhen was overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, everyone pried open the door and rushed in.

A basin of cold water was poured on Hu Seng's head, and the dazed Hu Seng woke up suddenly, this is a Tianzhu Hu Seng, more than fifty years old, lean and short, without a single hair on his head, and his upper body is bare.

He glanced up at Li Zhen and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" He was fluent in Chinese.

"You're Huifan?" Li Zhen asked coldly.

"You let go of me, I am the secret king of your emperor's imperial seal, you dare to be rude, and none of you will survive. ”

Li Zhen picked up a red box on the table, which was found in Hu Seng's luggage, and it contained red pills, a total of twelve pills, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Hu Seng laughed, "This is the secret pill that is going to be given to your female emperor tomorrow, if there is one less, I will take one of your heads!"

'Smack!' Li Zhen slapped him hard and asked coldly, "What are the consequences of taking this medicine?"

Hu Seng was full of resentment, turned his head and ignored it, then Zhao Qiuniang smiled and said: "General, hand him over to us, and within a quarter of an hour, I will let him say everything." ”

Li Zhen nodded, and Zhao Qiuniang instructed his subordinates, "Drag him into the back room!"

Several internal guards dragged Hu Seng into the inner room like wolves and tigers, and after a while, there were bursts of screams from the inner room, and Hu Seng cried and begged: "Spare me! I said, I will say everything!"

After a while, Zhao Qiuniang walked out with a solemn face and whispered to Li Zhen: "Go outside and talk about it." ”

Li Zhen walked outside with her, and Zhao Qiuniang sighed, "The saint can't live long." ”

Li Zhen was taken aback, "Why?"

"It's that secret pill, that's an aphrodisiac medicine, at the cost of overdrawing her life, the saint used it for a whole year, from the day before yesterday, she had to take six pills at a time, and the whole person was in a state of madness, Hu Seng said, if it reached this level, it would be ten days at most. ”

Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, he finally understood why there was a sudden breakthrough, because the Zhang brothers knew that the saint would not live long, so they were crazy to seize power, to kill themselves, and they did not hesitate to bet on both ends, so that Princess Taiping and Wu Sansi killed each other.

"General, what should I do?" Zhao Qiuniang asked worriedly,

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "You take Hu Seng away and make the illusion that he is running away by himself, and I will go to find King Xiang." ”

Zhao Qiuniang turned around to arrange, Li Zhen was anxious, and led everyone to turn over and run towards Xiangwang's mansion, but only ran less than a hundred steps, he turned his mind and said to everyone: "Go to Mingyifang!"

Li Zhen realized that now was not the time to find Li Dan, he had to find Zhang Cambodia first and discuss with him how to deal with it.

The time has come to a watch, there is no one on the street, only occasionally I will see a few foraging wild dogs chasing and biting, and it is also dark in front of the gate of Zhang's mansion, the two dead gas lanterns are all extinguished, and it seems that even the porter is asleep.

One of his subordinates stepped forward and knocked for a long time, and only then did a small opening open in the door, only to see the porter sleepily asking, "Who is it?"

"Go and report to your family Xiangguo, and say that General Li has an urgent visit. ”

"It's so late!"

The porter muttered, because it was the general, he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to get up and report to the master, after a while, the door finally opened a crack, and the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion came out and smiled: "Let the general wait for a long time, please come in!"

Li Zhen led his subordinates into the mansion, he asked his subordinates to rest and wait at the gatehouse, and he himself followed the butler to the Guike Hall.

"General, I'm sorry, it was supposed to be Xiangguo Gongzi to greet him, because Gongzi happened to go out in the afternoon and didn't come back, so it was rude. ”

"It's okay, is your master up?"

"It's time to get dressed, so please sit down for a moment. ”

The lamp in the Guike Hall had been lit, Li Zhen sat down, a little maid brought a cup of hot tea, and waited for about a quarter of an hour, only to see a cough coming from the courtyard, and Zhang Cambodia, who was wearing regular clothes, walked in slowly, "Let the general wait for a long time." ”

Li Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted, "There is something urgent, so I came late at night to disturb Xiangguo." ”

"Please be seated!"

Zhang Cambodia asked Li Zhen to sit down, Li Zhen was anxious, so he whispered to Zhang Cambodia: "I just caught a Hu monk, called Hui Fan, specially for the two Zhang to configure secret medicine, he told me a shocking news, the saint has taken too much medicine, has run out of oil, I am afraid there are only ten days to live." ”

Zhang Cambodia's brows furrowed, "How is it possible! Why would the general make such a joke?"

Li Zhen was secretly angry and said: "What I said is true, if there is a lie, the sky will not tolerate it!"

Zhang Cambodia lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Actually, I don't think it's strange. ”

"Why?" Li Zhen was puzzled.

"Because we have long found out, it is true that Ling Yue has long found that the saint's body is abnormal, once the political hall was opened, the saint listened, and he fainted without warning, and afterwards the imperial doctor quietly told Ling Yue that the saint's physical condition was worrying, it was half a year ago, and now if the saint's body suddenly deteriorates, I am not surprised. ”

"Since Xiangguo knows, why do you say I'm joking?" Li Zhen said very dissatisfied.

Zhang Cambodia looked at Li Zhen for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said, "General, please come with me!"

Zhang Cambodia took Li Zhen to the door of a secret room, Zhang Cambodia pushed the door open with a smile, Li Zhen followed Zhang Cambodia into the room, he was stunned, the light in the secret room was bright, and a table was full of people.

Wang Tongjiao, the supervisor of the palace, Cui Xuanwei, the imperial historian, Huan Yanfan, the Taifu Qing, Xue Si, the general of Zuo Weiwei, Li Zhan, the general of the left scattered cavalry, Yang Yuanyan, the general of the right Yulin, and the general Jinghui of the left Yulin, and so on.

Zhang Cambodia smiled slightly: "Welcome General Li to join us, please take a seat!"
