Chapter 252: The Conspiracy of the Other Courtyard

At noon on this day, Li Xuan, the Ye brothers and sisters, Feng Yun and Feng Shi had arrived at the first city in the world, the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, Chang'an.

Chang'an means 'long-term stability'. Since the city, there have been more than a dozen dynasties such as Zhou, Qin, Western Han and Sui to build their capitals here, accept the congratulations of all countries in the world, and be called 'Humdan' by the people of the Western Regions. Chang'an terrain is very imperial, there is a rich land supply of Bashu in the south, there is a convenient trade of Hu people in the north, and the hinterland of the Central Plains can be contained in the east.

However, after Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, ascended the throne, he was not satisfied with the ancient city of Chang'an left by the Qin and Han dynasties, so in the second year of the emperor's reign, he re-selected a piece of beautiful Sichuan Yuan and a place where the Huiwu was nourishing in the south of Longshou Plateau in the southeast of Chang'an City, and began to build a new capital.

Since then, the new capital of the Great Sui has been renamed Daxing City.

The construction of Daxing City was the top priority of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, and Yang Jianqin was the important minister of the court, Yu Wenkai, and the Tianji official Sha Anzhi undertook the important task. The two painstakingly planned, first built the Daxing palace city, and then built the imperial city, and only three years after the opening of the emperor did they dig the Longshou Canal, Yong'an Canal and Qingming Canal on the west side of the city, and divert water, hand over water, and Lushui directly to the palace. In the following year, more than 300 miles were dug from the east of Daxing City to Tongguan, and the Wei water was injected into the canal, so that the Cao Yun went straight to the Yellow River, which was named Guangtong Canal. Later, Yang Guang inherited the unification, and built the Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal from Daxing to Jiangdu, until the construction of Guocheng outside Daxing City was completed, and the new Chang'an City was finally completed.

After Li Xuan and his entourage of seven people entered the capital, they saw that the houses in the capital were stacked and undulating, not to mention tens of millions. At this time, the spring flowers are blooming, the breeze is slow, unconsciously having a big heart, walking on the flat and solid street, hearing the sheng songs, watching the carriages and horses prosperous, how can there be a great chaos in the world!

After lunch, Feng Yun led the way, turning all the way, walking through the alleys and streets until mid-afternoon, when they came to the door of an old house. Although this old mansion is not large, it is very exquisite. Everyone stands outside the vermilion lacquer door and looks inside through the courtyard wall, only to see that the winding path in the courtyard is secluded, the forest trees of the forest are staggered and cover the sun, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden in it, mysterious and natural, even if the spring breeze only blows the branches green at this time, the goose yellow leaf tip star, there is no red flower background, but the whole courtyard still gives people the feeling of being outside the world, and the green glory is extraordinary. Whose courtyard is this? Li Xuan thought secretly: "Could it be that Lan Ji'an hid Bing'er here?" Just thinking about it, he saw Feng Yun patting the lion head copper ring on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a young man dressed as a scholar poked his head out, looked at the Feng brothers and Li Xuan with a vigilant face, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Feng Yun smiled and said: "The blue flowers dye through the spring breeze, and the world is full of dragons and phoenixes, and the hearts of the people may not be ancient, fortunately, my generation is in charge...... Under Feng Yun, he is a subordinate of Mr. Lan. When the young man heard this, his face softened a lot, and he said softly, "Come with me." Then, when everyone entered, quickly close the door and lock it.

Li Xuan looked at it strangely, and thought that since it was a secret gift to the emperor, Li Yuan must have made careful arrangements, and he would not let such a thing happen. Thinking that maybe Tang Bing was inside, and was firmly watched by Lan Ji'an, who was arranged by Li Yuan, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart. He looked at the young man walking in front, and saw that his steps were vain, his feet were heavy, and he obviously didn't know martial arts, and listened attentively, and there was no sound of the master of the inner family sucking within a hundred and ten zhang, and gradually put his mind at ease, and said secretly: "It seems that this place is just mysterious...... Just thinking about it, the young man led everyone to a house covered by pines and cypresses, and said: "You wait here, I will invite my master to come." And when he was finished, he said no more.

The room is hardly furnished, and it does not look like a study, but from the neatly arranged chairs, it looks like a council room used to discuss matters. The young man watched Li Xuan and the others sit still, and then left. Li Xuan looked at the wall of the house, and saw that the wall of the house was black and brown, very dark, and for some reason, his heart suddenly passed the copper-walled and iron-walled house of the Tibetan Sword Villa. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and although it was solid, it did not seem to be filled with plaster, or even gave the impression that it was underground or hollow. Li Xuan was amused by the feeling he had given birth, could it be that I am really as the people in the rivers and lakes say, the longer I stay in the rivers and lakes, the easier it is to doubt the authenticity of all people and things! He couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Li Xuan sat firmly with the Feng brothers, the Ye brothers and sisters, and the yellow fish. After a while, the young man came in again and said to Feng Yun: "Are you Master Feng?" Feng Yuntou, the young man asked the Ye brothers and sisters and Huang Yu again: "Are you the Ye brothers and sisters who are proficient in water and Mr. Huang, one of the seven ghosts of the Yellow River?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard him go out for a while, and when they came back, they could all recognize them one by one. Huang Croaker said: "It's us." He pointed to Li Xuan and said to the young man: "This is Li Shaoxia......" Before the sentence was finished, the young man interrupted: "My master invites you to go." As for this young man, please wait here. After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Li Xuan, and went out of the door and waited outside the door.

Huang Yu looked at Li Xuan embarrassedly, saw that he was calm, and hurriedly said: "Shaoxia, let's go first to see why this master recognizes us." Li Xuantou smiled and said, "You guys just go, I just took the opportunity to rest here." ”

Everyone was gone, Li Xuan closed his eyes and pondered.

The branches are swaying. At this time, the pale red light of the slanting sun filled the western sky, and it was stained with large layers of clouds, like burning waves, slightly rippling but silent. I don't know how long, a breeze blew, and those fading lights gently passed through the sky above Chang'an City, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of mysterious light, hazy and unpredictable. These lights don't seem to care about being misunderstood, they still shine and float unrestrainedly, and finally float into the house softly like water, making people feel suddenly separated from the world. Although Li Xuan closed his eyes for a moment, he had been practicing for nine weeks. He opened his eyes and looked at everything inside and outside the room, thinking that maybe he would be able to see Tang Bing in a while, and his heart was stirring, when he suddenly felt that the chair under his seat was pulled downward with a strong force. The ground is as flat as a mirror, the chairs are placed steadily, where does the power to pull down comes from?

Li Xuan didn't have time to think about it, but he felt that the whole person was like falling into the abyss. He instinctively stretched out his arms and wanted to hold them horizontally, but before his arms were spread, there were several 'brushes' on both sides, shimmering silver light flashed, and more than a dozen sharp knives as thin as pieces of paper magically appeared on the ground. If you don't stop in time, you will break your arm and wrist. He also reacted well, and in the flash of lightning, his arms shrank, and the whole person began to fall again. But his internal strength is unparalleled, and the levitation body method has been perfected, and at the moment when his body is falling rapidly, he uses the magnetic levitation body method to save the decline. Although all that was left for him in his busy schedule was a gap, his right foot went up to his left foot, and he instantly got rid of the force of the fall, and in the long whistle, his body was pulled up.

It would not be easy to make a drastic change, not to mention that the place that led him down was only a black hole six feet long and wide. Li Xuan pulled up in the air, seeing that the whole person was about to fly out of the black hole. But since a trap has been set up in the house, how can he be allowed to get out easily. His upper body jumped out of the black hole, and he felt a 'sigh' of his head, looked up, and saw that it was a steel wire soft net as a hood.

This steel wire soft net seems to weigh a thousand catties, and when the cover is down, the wind is hunting, even though Li Xuan is carrying the sword of the black god, although the sword of the black god is as sharp as mud, but at this time this situation is no longer useful. He saw that the steel wire soft net was coming urgently, and he didn't dare to rush hard, and he didn't have time to ventilate, so he turned around to dodge. After all, the six-foot-long and wide black hole was narrow, and he only heard the sound of 'Peng', and he hit the stone wall on the left side of the black hole, and the stone nitrate fell one after another, but he could no longer control the falling situation and fell into the hole.

The so-called black hole is actually not black. Inside the black hole, it is not only spacious and bright, but there are also two people waiting with a smile. Li Xuan fell in the air, listened to the black hole mouth of his head 'click' shut, looked around the room, and knew in his heart that he would not be able to leave.

He looked at the two people opposite him and said in a deep voice, "It turns out that the second son and Master Lan are here." Hmph, it seems that the rest of you are not invited away, but want to make time for me to fall here!" After finishing speaking, he asked again: "The second prince is so thoughtful, is it because I want to find Bing'er?" Li Shimin is still graceful and luxurious, his white face is as pure as the bright moon, he is wearing a white robe like bright snow, and he is carrying his hands behind his back, as if to imply that Li Xuan himself has no malicious intent, and a pair of shining eyes look at Li Xuan, as if he has a million words. Li Shimin saw that although Li Xuan was trapped here, he still looked calm and calm, and couldn't help but praise secretly. He coughed lightly and said slowly: "You think too much, it's not entirely because of Tang Bing's sister." Li Xuan was slightly stunned and said, "Is there any other reason?" Li Shimin said: "Naturally, there are other reasons." Well, that's for that reason later. But you see, I've taken great pains to invite you here. ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "With Your Excellency's ingenuity, can't you think of what I have put into inviting you now?"

Li Xuan hugged his arms and was silent, and only said after a while: "I want to understand a little, but I don't understand a little, why do you want me to throw myself into the net and come here?" Li Shimin laughed and encouraged: "You, what have you figured out? I will tell you my purpose." Li Xuantou pondered: "If I guess correctly, that day Ye Feng sent someone to find me, it was the beginning of your layout." Li Shimin praised: "It's really amazing, just one sentence, it's already extraordinary." ”

The lights in the black hole seem to be much brighter.

Li Xuan's expression did not move and continued: "Originally, I was very strange, why Ye Feng's gang could recognize me at a glance, but now it seems that there is indeed a mystery. Well, the Ye brothers told me that they were poisoned by Zhong Chu's fire needle, and when I tried it, I concluded that they were not lying. It seems that it is true that the Ye brothers and sisters were planted with fire needle poison by Zhong Chu, and it is also true that Zhong Chu was sent by you to Yu Wenhua and internal undercover agents, and even Yuan Tiangang gave Yan Wushu and Zhong Chu a magic elixir It is ......also true" Li Shimin said: "All this is indeed true, if you don't do real things, with your wit, you will definitely see it." Li Xuan said: "I originally thought of Chang'an, and you also wanted to lead me to Chang'an at that time, which was a logical thing." But you and the Ye brothers didn't expect that just as I was about to leave for Chang'an, Yan Wushu and Zhu Lian appeared again. Hey, for the sake of the Tibetan Sword Villa, how can I take care of my children's affection!

But the world is unpredictable, and there are always accidents. Although Ye Feng sent someone to pass on the news that I was not going to Chang'an in time, who would have thought that Zhuge Dongfang, Jin Wushuang, and Chu Jiangnan would appear in the Weishui River! Who would have thought that Aunt Shu would instigate Han Zishan and Sister Mei to walk out of the Tibetan Sword Villa and be blocked in the willow forest by Yan Wuving? Can you explain this?"

Li Shimin sighed: "I really didn't expect this, let alone that the strong and domineering Yan Invincible would be defeated under you...... Ye Feng sent someone to tell me that if you didn't come to Chang'an, I immediately arranged for many people to look for you on both sides of the Wei River. Fortunately, Feng Yun and Feng Shi met their old acquaintance Yao Zikong, and successfully told you about Tang Bing's sister's entry into the palace to serve according to what I had arranged in advance. Well, I'm sure you'll change your mind when you hear the news, and rush to Chang'an desperately. ”

Li Xuan smiled faintly: "If the matter of the Hidden Sword Villa is not resolved, I really won't necessarily come here." Li Shimin smiled: "You will." Li Xuandao: "Why are you so sure?" Li Shimin smiled: "More than ten days ago, you started to compete with Zhu Jian and Yan Wuving, and Aunt Shu received a message from the flying pigeon and rushed here. Hehe, you should know that I will not set up only one way to solve anything, and Aunt Shu and the Ye brothers and sisters are all part of my arrangement this time. Li Xuan said: "I see. No wonder the rivers and lakes are so big, Aunt Shu doesn't go anywhere else, but comes here. Well, Second Son, after Aunt Shu left, did you enter the Hidden Sword Villa?" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, we didn't plan to attack the Hidden Sword Villa at all. Li Xuanqi said: "But Yan Invincible doesn't seem to think so!"

Li Shimin laughed and interrupted: "Zhu Jian plans to take the Tibetan Sword Villa, and Yan Wushu is just stopping him." Li Xuan was puzzled and said, "Yan Invincible won't let Zhu Jian attack the Tibetan Sword Villa?" Li Shimin said: "Exactly." You have been in the Tibetan Sword Villa, don't you know the reason?" Li Xuanyi was stunned and said, "Do I know?" Li Shimin smiled: "You may also know that since Yan Wushu took the pill given by Yuan Tiangang, he always had symptoms of sometimes being sober and sometimes crazy. Hey...... It's okay when he's crazy, but when he's sober, he always thinks about reviving the great cause of the Mo Gang. Hmph, if you know Yan Invincible, you know what it will mean if he swallows the Sword Villa alone!" Li Xuan said lightly: "I understand. You must have seen Yan Invincible's selfishness, so you deliberately revealed to Zhu Jian that Yan Invincible wanted to hide those things in the Sword Villa. Alas, when two tigers fight, one will be injured, and no matter who lives or dies in these two people, it will be beneficial to you. Li Shimin stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this: "You are really extraordinary, and your analysis is clearly organized! That's right." ”

Li Xuan said coldly: "This matter is clear, I think, should you come out, why did you try to ask me to come to Chang'an's true intention!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "There are no eternal friends in the world, let alone eternal enemies. My father saw that Yan Wushu would not be of the same mind as us after all, so he came up with this plan to let him fight with Zhu Lian. But at the same time, Yu Wenhua continued to speak in front of the evil emperor Yang Guang, slandering my father for supporting the army and wanting to rebel. In order to stabilize the evil emperor Yang Guang and eliminate Yu Wenhua and this henchman, someone must help us, and you are the best candidate. ”

Li Xuan said lightly: "Why did I promise you to get involved in this unrelated dispute?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Because the Tang Bing sister you want is in my hands, and it won't take long to be sent to the palace." ”

Li Xuan said coldly: "It seems that you are threatening me!" Li Shimin laughed and said: "How dare I threaten the absolute master who cut off Zhu Lian's arm and defeated Yan Invincible." Lan Ji'an, who had been silent beside him, saw that Li Xuan's face was gradually turning blue, and he was secretly angry, and hurriedly said: "My second son has always regarded Li Shaoxia as a dragon-like figure. You think, when you were in Shaolin Temple, you were seriously injured by Yu Wenhuo, and my second son has already had a long talk with you...... Li Shaoxia! Those who want to achieve great things should look at the overall situation, not just care about the interests under their noses, not to mention the personal feelings of their children, they should not hurt the harmony that should not be hurt!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "We won't mention the past, only the future." Well, although the rivers and lakes are still chaotic at the moment, they have become clear. If you are willing to take action for us and help me slash the three brothers of Zhu Jian and Tianmen Mountain, Yu Wenhua will be powerless in the rivers and lakes. At that time, he will be like a lame man who has lost his right leg and walks on his left leg alone, and there will be no worries. My father and brother and I will be free to raise the banner and create a prosperous and peaceful world. The world is stable, and the rivers and lakes are naturally stable. Hey, are you willing to watch the rivers and lakes continue to be turbulent with your martial arts?"

Lan Ji'an was slightly stunned when he saw Li Xuan hear the names of the three brothers in Tianmen Mountain, and hurriedly said: "These three brothers are not masters, you don't have to worry about ......" Li Shimin glanced at Lan Ji'an, and said lightly: "They are Zhu Xuan's closest minions, and they are also these three people who take care of Tang Bing's sister." Alas, I don't know what evil they will do to Tang Bing's sister, but it really worries me!"

When Li Xuan heard this, his eyelids jumped a few times, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: "You two don't have to act anymore, right, where is Tang Bing's sister locked up?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Master Lan, it was you who handed over Tang Bing's sister to the three brothers of Tianmen Mountain. Where is Tang Bing's sister locked up now?" Lan Ji'an heard this, and said respectfully: "I have been locked up on the isolated island of Longchi. Li Shimin sighed: "The four sides of the isolated island are not relied on, and there are many organs on the island. Li Xuan said: "If they can go up, others can also go up." Li Shimin said: "Yes." ”

Li Xuan pondered, and muttered: "Yu Wenhua and Li Mi of Hewagangzhai are not weak, even if I can kill the three brothers of Zhu Jian and Tianmen Mountain and rescue Bing'er, I am afraid that I will not be able to disintegrate them as you do." Li Shimin said: "Li Mi of Wagangzhai has your old department of the Heavenly God Gang, and it will not be difficult for you to come forward to subdue them." Although the rivers and lakes are chaotic like a chess game, and there are too many unpredictable things, if you are willing to make a move, it will definitely hasten their demise. As for when they will be defeated and perish, it will also depend on the will of God. At that time, Sister Mo Tangbing will look up to you, and my father will definitely give you high-ranking officials and honors and wealth. ”

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "High-ranking officials, glory and wealth, although it is the lifelong pursuit of others, it is not my long-cherished wish. Well, let me ask again, if I promise you, will I take Bing'er away, will you not try to force her to marry the evil emperor Yang Guang in the future?"

Li Shimin smiled: "Everything is fine. ”

Li Xuan said coldly: "Don't confuse me." I want you to answer in the affirmative, what I want is that Bing'er and I will be free and free from now on. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "As long as you help me cut off Zhu Lian and the others, so that Yu Wenhua and the masters can help, what reason do I have not to agree to you." ”

After a pause, he muttered again: "But you also have to understand that since the evil emperor Yang Guang proposed to ask Tang Bing's sister to serve in the palace, it is not easy to change his mind. So, let me think about a plan. Hearing this, Lan Ji'an said: "I heard that the evil emperor plans to go on patrol again, but several ministers in charge of the treasury have been trying their best to stop it on the grounds that the treasury is empty. Now, the Evil Emperor has killed several ministers for this!Second Prince, I think if we can help the Evil Emperor solve this urgent need, and take the opportunity to propose to the Evil Emperor to cancel the matter of Tang Bing's maiden entering the palace to serve, is it a way?" )
