Chapter 70: Bow your head and ask for help
After everyone's discussion, Chen Yi asked the monks of Bukong Temple to arrange a place for Bai Wufang's father and daughter and Yan Chixia, while Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji said that they would go to the home of the "Golden Cicada" to visit the injuries of their friends and Li Xiuning.

This requirement is reasonable, and Chen Yi has no reason to refuse, so he has to order Sun Wukong to lead the two forward. However, the "Golden Cicada", who is said to be in retreat and healing, will definitely not be able to meet them, and only hopes that Li Xiuning will not show any flaws after meeting the second brother with the best feelings.
Because Bai Wufang and Yan Chixia both lived in the Bukong Temple, it was inconvenient for Chen Yi to leave secretly, so he could only wait for news with a somewhat uneasy temperament.
In the evening, Sun Wukong finally came secretly and told him the details of the meeting between Li Shimin and Li Xiuning.
He led Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji to the mansion of the "Golden Cicada", and saw Angel and Li Xiuning majestically instructing the servants and maids in the mansion as the "master mother", so that they did not have to worry about the rebel siege, and just do their own thing.
Li Shimin's expression at that time was angry and funny, and after meeting Li Xiuning, he proposed to talk to her alone.
Others naturally avoided it knowingly, only the clever monkey of Sun Wukong guessed that the master must want to know what their brothers and sisters would say, so he used a handling spell to take away a table in the room, and then he used the "Eight or Nine Xuangong" that had been completed to become a table, and eavesdropped on the side.
It was learned from Li Shimin's mouth that because Li Yuan had previously adopted the Taoguang strategy offered by the eldest grandson Wuji through Li Shimin's mouth, and later accused Yang Xuan of rebellion, Emperor Yang Guang's suspicion of him seemed to have diminished, and he had ordered him to guard Honghua County, and at the same time knew the military of Guanyou. It's just that his good mood was ruined by his daughter's running away from home, and in a fit of rage, he first blamed Li Shimin, who took it upon himself to let Li Xiuning leave, and then grounded him in the room.
Originally, Li Yuan planned to send his eldest son Li Jiancheng to Luoyang to arrest Li Xiuning back, but then an old Taoist priest who came down from Zhongnan Mountain came to visit, and after asking to see Li Yuan for a secret talk, Li Yuan also assigned Li Jiancheng to do an important thing, and the matter of coming to Li Xiuning fell on Li Shimin, who was grounded, but did not mention the matter of arresting Li Xiuning, and only said that he would take his sister home with him when the matter of Luoyang was over.
When Li Shimin was about to set off, the old Taoist priest who claimed to be the Taoist "Qingxuzi" and was commonly known as Xie Hong brought a nephew to him, that Yan Chixia, saying that he was going to send him to Luoyang to deal with one matter, and he could go with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin had already had a few words with Yan Chixia, and deeply felt that this person had a splendid chest, extraordinary knowledge, and a free and bold temperament, and was quite chivalrous, and he was also very willing to make friends with him, so naturally there was no reason not to agree.
What happened next opened Li Shimin's eyes, and Yan Chixia asked him to send back the prepared fast horse, and then put the long box on the ground on the ground, and after reciting a few incantations, the long box became the size of a house.
Yan Chixia asked Li Shimin to stand still on the long box with her, and recited a few incantations again, and the long box turned into a golden light and flew into the air. Li Shimin was shrouded in a golden light along the way, and he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, but he felt the wind in his ears, but he couldn't feel the wind on his body at all.
About half an hour or so, the long box fell, and the golden light converged, and when Li Shimin looked around, he found that he was already in a remote street in Luoyang City.
Only then did Li Shimin know that Yan Chixia was actually a cultivator, and he was even more devoted to it at the moment.
Yan Chixia took the initiative to tell him about the purpose of her visit to Luoyang, it turned out that there were evil monks in Yang Xuangan's rebels, and the three major sects of the righteous path had sent their disciples to deal with this matter, and he was the successor of the Zhongnan Mountain Tower Guantai. Later, he asked him if he would be interested in accompanying him to meet the descendants of the other two major sects.
Li Shimin was naturally full of interest, and after obtaining Yan Chixia's consent, he found the eldest grandson Wuji to accompany him.
After listening to Sun Wukong's statement, Chen Yi had some doubts in his heart, Louguantai was the Taoist system handed down by Lao Tzu, and pursued the way of purity and inaction, except for taking the initiative in dealing with the Heavenly Demon Palace, he had always just practiced behind closed doors, ignoring secular affairs. This time, for some reason, it seems that he wants to intervene in the change of dynasty.
After thinking about it for a long time and still not having a clue, Chen Yi could only bury this doubt in his heart and wait for it to be discovered in the future. Anyway, even if Lou Guantai really wants to intervene in this upcoming troubled era, it should be the same as himself to press the treasure on the Li family and even Li Shimin, everyone is on the same front, and there should be no contradiction between each other.
On the second day, Yang Xuangan outside the city launched a siege battle after failing to persuade him to surrender.
And Fan Zigai, who was in charge of the defense of Luoyang City, was indeed as Li Shimin expected, and killed more than a dozen generals and colonels who were afraid of the battle and officials who tried to respond to Yang Xuangan one after another by thunderous means, quickly deterring the floating military and people's hearts. Then, at the age of seventy, he personally commanded the defense at the head of the city to stimulate morale, and actually stifled Yang Xuangan's limelight and defended a Luoyang city as stable as Mount Tai.
Yang Xuangan failed to attack the city for several days, and heard that the emperor Yang Guang on the front line of Liaodong had urgently withdrawn his troops and returned, and his henchman Hu'er was leading the army to come in to help Luoyang.
Coming to the outside of an inconspicuous small camp tent in the back camp, Yang Xuangan coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Yan, Yang Xuangan asks to see you." ”
A soft man's voice came from the tent: "I don't know that the handsome man is coming, forgive me for the sin of not being far away, please come in." ”
The space inside this small tent was more than ten times larger than the size of the tent seen outside. A pearl is hung on the top of the tent for lighting, the four walls are hung with splendid curtains, the ground is covered with beautifully decorated blankets, and there are more than a dozen women in palace clothes with cold faces shuttling back and forth with their bare feet, waiting for three men and one woman and four young people who are seated behind the four cases to drink.
After Yang Xuangan entered the tent, the three men and one woman didn't mean to get up at all, but one of the young men in sackcloth pointed to the empty sheet of the tent and said: "I have calculated that the handsome man will come today, so prepare wine and food to treat each other, and the handsome man please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yan. Yang Xuangan was stunned for a moment, and sat down according to his words after thanking him.
At that time, a beautiful woman in palace clothes came over and poured wine for him.
Another Huangshan woman who was sitting a few cases later saw Yang Xuan's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and smiled at him, and her face, which was originally only delicate, suddenly gave birth to a coquettish attitude that turned everyone upside down: "Dashuai, but he hasn't come to us for some days!"
Yang Xuan was even more embarrassed when he heard this, these friends Li Mi repeatedly said, he had some wariness in his heart for these "worldly masters" who persuaded him to raise troops against Sui and induced him to choose to attack Luoyang, and the death of Hua Rongying and the other four made him feel a little contempt, so this siege excluded them, and faintly had the intention of getting rid of their dependence on them. And now that the situation is not good, he has bowed his head and asked for help, which is really difficult for Yang Xuangan, who has always been proud, to speak.
