Chapter 455 Chapter 458 Strain
Hou Xibai shook his head and said, "I went to the palace to see Mrs. Zhang. Her number one eunuch, Eunuch Zheng, said that she was playing chess with the emperor, so seeing that Luoyan was missing, of course I had no chance to inquire about the whereabouts of "The Picture of Cold Forest and Qingyuan."

Xu Ziling said: "When we enter the palace tonight, we must try to inform Luoyan."

Shen Mu said: "Why give up the easy and take the difficult? Didn't Li Yuan host a banquet tonight for the beautiful owner? Shen Luoyan must be accompanying the guests. We will ask the beauty owner to try to notify Shen Luoyan."

Hou Xibai said: "It's too late! When I left the palace, I happened to meet Shang Xiuxun's motorcade entering the palace. She even stopped to lift the curtain and spoke to me, alas!"

Listening to his tone, the two knew that there would be nothing to talk about. You looked at me and were speechless.

Hou Xibai said in a low voice: "She said she won't blame you any more, but you don't have to look for her again. When she said that, her eyes showed sadness and helplessness."

Shen Mu smiled wryly: "What you said is all bad news, can there be some happy news?"

Hou Xibai said: "I don't want to have good news to tell you? It's a pity that things backfired. The guards in the palace were obviously strengthened, and I was personally served by the palace supervisor, Eunuch Wei, so I didn't dare to ask people about the treasure painting. In the end, I was still a Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, when Master Shi just killed Sha Fang, why would Li Yuan want to guard against me."

Xu Ziling said: "Who is Mr. Wei?"

Hou Xibai said: "Eunuch Wei served Yang Jian in the old Sui Dynasty, and later followed Yang Guang. He was the head of the eunuch with the strongest martial arts in the Sui Palace. When Emperor Yang was killed, he was in Jiangdu. He escaped with his martial arts and has since then joined Li Yuan , and Li Yuan was appointed as the inner palace supervisor, and all the eunuchs in the palace, big and small, were under his jurisdiction."

Shen Mu said: "To be able to break through and escape under such circumstances, this person must have some skills. We have met Yang Guang in Jiangdu before, and we don't have such a person in our impression."

Hou Xibai said: "Eunuch Wei is a low-key person, and this is what Li Yuan likes about him. Eunuch Wei's martial arts were trained by Yang Jian himself, and he takes on the heavy responsibility of protecting Yang Jian. Frankly speaking, I don't think he has anything wrong with him. It's special, but just this kind of real person's ability to hide his face is enough to make people feel that he is unfathomable."

Xu Ziling sighed: "Yu Wenshang, You Chuhong, Eunuch Wei, plus a few famous seniors who came out to help Li Yuan, once we enter the palace, once our treasury is exposed, we will surely die."

Shen Mu said: "The matter of entering the palace is imperative tonight, so let's adapt accordingly!"

Xu Ziling nodded in agreement, turned to Hou Xibai and said, "Brother Xibai can investigate another matter on his behalf, that is to see whether Li Mi has formally proposed to Li Yuan to leave Chang'an."

Hou Xibai said: "This aspect should be easier, I'll do it right away, see you tonight!"

After Hou Xibai left, the two groaned to each other without speaking.

Xu Ziling felt very uneasy in his heart. The chance of Wan Hou betraying them was not great, but it made him feel a sense of crisis.

For example, with Shi Zhixuan's eyesight and knowing that Xu Ziling is in Chang'an, he can definitely see that the two heroes of the Taihang are Xu Ziling and Shen Mu at a glance, as long as Shi Zhixuan is given this opportunity.

What's terrible is that Shi Zhixuan will definitely try his best to find out the purpose of his coming to Chang'an, last night he issued a clear warning, if he doesn't leave Chang'an again, don't blame him for being merciless.

So he had to ambush Shi Zhixuan before this happened.The question is whether the treasure painting is in Zhang Jieyu's boudoir or Li Yuan's study?I haven't figured it out yet, so I can only passively wait for Li Yuan's chance to call Shen Wenjiang to supervise the painting.

Hou Xibai's worry is justified, if one is bad, they will hate Chang'an and die.

Shi Zhixuan does have unpredictable methods and talents.

Shen Mu's voice came into his ears and said: "What are you thinking? The brows are all wrinkled, reminding me of what you will look like when you are old in the future."

Xu Ziling sighed dejectedly, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Shen Mu stared at his toes, shook his head and said, "I'm sure I'm thinking differently from you. Alas! What I thought was that losing the Battle of Luoyang was not wronged, I should have lost, because Li Shimin's brilliance is almost chilling." He chose to use troops in June. Even if Song Que heard the news and immediately mobilized the army, he still couldn’t dispatch troops before October and winter, because it happened to be winter when he arrived, which was not conducive to the southerners’ use of troops, so he had to wait until next spring when the flowers bloomed. Li Shimin took advantage of these nine months to capture Luoyang and then razed Pengliang to the ground, his grandma, this kid's methods are indeed vicious."

Xu Ziling said: "Surrender is meaningless. Why don't you consider retreating to the south of Lingnan, calm down the south first, and then plan to cross the river?"

Shen Mu said: "This is not the way I like, Shen Mu. If you lose, you lose! But if you win, you must win beautifully. Young Master Ling's proposal may save my life, but it will definitely make me fall into trouble for a long time. It is a passive game of defeat. Li Shimin doesn't need to fight with me on the battlefield. As long as Bashu surrenders to Tang, the entire north of the river will fall into Li Tang's hands. It is very good that we can keep the south of the river. How can I bear it? Seeing that the Central Plains returned to the confrontation between the North and the South, the Turks could take advantage of it. One is that I will unify the Central Plains, and the other is that Li Xiaozi will win the world. So I decided to stick to Pengliang until the moment when Song Que's reinforcements arrived. I will discuss this matter. I bear it alone, and I don't want you to intervene in the life-and-death battle between Li Xiaozi and me."

At this time, Lei Jiuzhi said that it was time to set off for Shanglinyuan.

The carriage left Lifang, joined the flow of horses and horses on the street, and drove slowly towards Shanglin Garden. Shen Mu and Xu Ziling's Taihang twin heroes were the drivers, and Lei Jiuzhi and three people were on board.

Witnessing the prosperous scenes of Chang'an at the beginning of the Huadeng period, the two had their own emotions.

Shen Mu thought for a moment, then said with difficulty: "Am I really a hard-hearted person?"

Xu Ziling said: "Frankly speaking, you are not that good, so I have been worried about you."

Shen Mu said: "I don't want to become such a person, so is my choice wrong?"

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "God will know that. What I saw and heard in Chang'an this time has completely changed many of my beliefs that I believed in in the past, and I doubt the correctness of Feixuan's selection of Li Shimin, because according to the current situation, Li Shimin The victory will only benefit the Demon Gate or the Turkic people."

Shaking his head again, he said, "I don't know! Oh! So far!"

Ren Jun's Situ Furong, Song Shidao's Shen Wenjiang, and Lei Jiuzhi's housekeeper were welcomed into the garden by the courteous guests of Shanglin Garden.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling parked the carriage in a corner of the vast square according to the instructions, and brought fresh water and feed to serve the horses. Both of them couldn't help but miss their beloved horses Qianlimeng and Wanliban.To avoid risks, the two babies were left outside the customs.

Shen Mu said: "Where is the boss of Shanglinyuan, and what background does he have?"

Xu Ziling said: "If you want to know about this, you should ask our Young Master Hou."

At this time, a carriage drove into Shanglin Garden, Shen Mu glanced over, and said in a low voice: "This kid has not changed his nature, he is still addicted to the life of singing every night."

Xu Ziling followed his gaze and saw a richly dressed playboy-like figure, and asked, "Does this guy look familiar?"

Shen Mu said: "It's Sha Chengde, the second young master of the Sha family. He and Sha Cheng are good at gambling and prostitution. Fortunately, there is the third young master Sha Chengde to support the family business."

Xu Ziling said: "It's about time. I'll go see Er Wenhuan and Qiao Gongshan. You are here to take care of the overall situation."

Shen Mu hurriedly said: "Is there anything to do here? It will only ask me out of the bird. I will accompany you for a walk."

Xu Ziling said: "This is unreasonable, because I'm going to tell them that I have no way to separate myself tonight, but two of them slipped to see him. It's no wonder they don't suspect it. Brother! Be patient!" After speaking, he smiled and went away up.

Shen Mu was so angry that he returned to the battle of Luoyang.After leaving Cijian, he tried his best to avoid thinking about such matters, and concentrated his mind on Shi Zhixuan, because he was threatening the life of his brother Xu Ziling, which was more important than fighting for world hegemony.So when Luoyang was in dire straits, he still had to throw everything away and come to Chang'an to deal with Shi Zhixuan.

When something happened here, he had to rush back to Pengliang immediately, take over Yang Gongqing's troops who had retreated to Pengliang, and then obey the rules of the game, and use all means to seize Jiangdu, a place he is most familiar with, from Li Zitong.However, his unscrupulous methods are only aimed at the enemy, and he will never be cruel to innocent civilians. This is his bottom line and principle.

Thinking of this, there was a sound coming from behind approaching, hearing the light and heavy strength, it must be someone who knows how to do it, Shen Mu deliberately waited for the approacher to approach, and turned his head away in shock.

Taking a look, he was sure that the other party was Chi Shengchun. Although he was taller than Xiangyushan, his confident and thin body and spirit were [-] to [-]% similar to Xiangyushan.His demeanor is elegant and not vulgar, and there is a confident and sophisticated smile on his mouth, which shows that he is good at sociability.He is not handsome, but he is easy-going and pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that Shen Mu turned around to look at him, Chi Shengchun cupped his hands and said with a smile, "This must be Brother Cai who is famous in Taihang! Brother Chi Shengchun, why didn't you see Brother Kuang?"

Shen Mu saw that he had no followers, and he was unrestrained, and suddenly he should have come from the Liufu Casino across the street, but he still couldn't figure out the purpose of his coming to "flatter" him, pretending to be shocked, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said : "It turns out that it's Liufu's big boss Chi Ye, our Fu Rong Lord is in the garden. Wen Tong will turn around and come back when he has something to do."

Chi Shengchun came to Shen Mu calmly, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday I heard Master Er Wenhuan talking about Brother Cai and Brother Kuang. The two masters admired the two very much and said that they are good friends. I Chi Shengchun loves to make friends with heroes, come! Let's go to the garden and talk, how can we linger outside the gate of Shanglin Garden when we come to Chang'an."

Shen Mu pretended to be flattered, and stammered with embarrassment: "This... Hey! This is not very good, right? My little brother is working for Master Furong now, hey!"

Chi Shengchun took him by the arm and walked towards the gate, and said happily: "I have admired Brother Situ for a long time, and I just came here to see Brother Situ tonight. Brother Situ is a friend to me. Brother Cai and Brother Situ Brother Kuang is also a friend, if Brother Cai needs help from my younger brother in Chang'an, just tell me, and my younger brother will definitely do it for Brother Cai."

Shen Mu screamed loudly, Chi Shengchun's method of winning over people was direct and enthusiastic, if he was really Cai Yuanyong, it would be no wonder he would not accept such condescending flattery.

Everyone I met, whether they were members of Shanglin Garden or guests, all greeted Chi Shengchun, which showed that Chi Shengchun had a wide range of friends and was well-versed in all aspects.

Chi Shengchun laughed again: "Don't look at the size of Chang'an City, but if there is any disturbance, it will immediately spread throughout the city. People from the Guanzhong Sword Sect love to meddle in other people's business, including my younger brother, many people have long since ignored it. Qiu Wensheng's old man relied on his eldest disciple Duan Zhixuan to work under the King of Qin. He was arrogant and domineering. I am not alarmist. Although the people from the Guanzhong Sword Sect were forced to say that they would not harass the two brothers that day, they would definitely not be able to do so. In the end, Chang'an is their territory, the so-called fierce tiger is not as good as the local snake, Brother Cai must be careful."

Shen Mu came to his senses and realized that their Taihang Twin Heroes had been involved in the struggle in Chang'an, and that Er Wenhuan was willing to let Xiao Xiuming and Xie Jiarong go to catch bigger fish. The entire Guanzhong Sword Sect was destroyed, leaving Li Shimin alone and helpless.

Quickly pretending to be terrified, he said in a deep voice, "What do they want to do with us?"

The two of them walked to the central garden at this time, and Chi Shengchun took him by the arm and moved to the nearby lotus pond. He stood still and said: "Qiu Wensheng is ruthless in his actions, and it is impossible to guard against him after he has made up his mind. Hu Zuowei has always been dissatisfied, and he and Brother Cai hit it off right away, so I will not sit idly by. After I discuss it carefully with the two masters, as long as we can invite King Qi to stand up for the two, I will guarantee that Qiu Wensheng can't finish eating. Ha! It's not suitable tonight Talking about these spoilers, let’s first enjoy Chang’an’s No.1 Yuan Jiqian’s singing, tomorrow I will have good news for Brother Cai.”

Shen Mu was secretly surprised when he heard Ji Qian's name, and he was glad that Xu Ziling was not dragged by Chi Shengchun to the banquet.

Chi Shengchun took him by the arm and said as he walked, "Brother Kuang will come back from business later, and the person in charge of the door will bring him in. Everyone will have a good night's chat, without getting drunk."

In the restaurant, Er Wenhuan listened to Xu Ziling's excuse and said with a smile: "With all due respect, in Chang'an, Boss Situ's safety is absolutely no problem. I have greeted the city guard, unless Song Que came. Otherwise, ha!"

Qiao Gongshan interjected: "The Song family can't take care of themselves now, it should be false threats to Boss Situ, Brother Kuang don't take it to heart. Brother Kuang and Brother Cai must be careful of other people's plots."

Xu Ziling asked in astonishment, "Someone else's conspiracy?"

Er Wenhuan moved closer, and said in a low voice: "According to the rumors we have received, the members of the Guanzhong Sword Sect have evil intentions and are determined to put the two of them to death; this matter is backed by people from King Qin's Tiance Mansion. If you have a heart, you don't have a heart, and the two of you can easily follow their way."

Xu Ziling understood it like Shen Mu, and felt a big headache about this extra-complicated matter. He wished he had to make a "correct" reaction, and with a look of suspicion in his eyes, he said: "If Yuan Yong and I have any troubles, no one can guess. If they did it, are they so courageous?"

Qiao Gongshan said solemnly: "If there is no secret support from Tiance Mansion, forgive Qiu Wensheng for being so brave and still not daring to touch the two of you. But you don't have to worry, we will find a way for you to deal with it."

Erwen Huan said in a deep voice: "First strike the enemy, and then strike the others. Brother Kuang is used to the world, of course he understands this truth."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Fortunately, I met Brother Er and Brother Qiao today. Sigh! Should I inform Lord Fu Rong of this matter?"

Qiao Gongshan said: "You are doing things for Boss Situ, you should let him know, but don't say it too seriously."

Er Wenhuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is just a trivial matter, we will pay attention to it, Baobao Guanzhong Sword Sect those bastards are making a mess. Liufu is open all night, if you two can sneak out, we can make proper arrangements at any time arrange."

Qiao Gongshan said with a smile: "The last trip was Liufu. This trip should be an eye-opener at Mingtangwo. Mingtangwo is the oldest brand in Chang'an. It was established when Chang'an New City was built."

Xu Ziling pretended to be moved, and then sighed: "It's okay to go back later. It's not justified to sneak out to gamble all night. Why don't we go to Mingtangwo to see it tomorrow. Sigh! I don't have any hobbies, but I have a bigger gambling addiction .”

Erwen Huanxie said with a wicked smile, "Brother Kuang is only addicted to gambling?"

Xu Ziling "remembered" his deceit for money and sex, he laughed and said, "It's a man's nature to be happy with a beautiful girl, so it shouldn't be considered a hobby, ha!"

Er Wenhuan and Qiao Gongshan laughed evilly with him, having the joy of congeniality.

Xu Ziling agreed with them on the street at the time and place to meet tomorrow night, and stood up to say goodbye. Er Wenhuan and Qiao Gongshan surprisingly did not keep him and let him go.

The banquet was held in the Huangju Hall in the west garden of Shanglin Garden, where a feast was held, leaving a vast space for singing and dancing performances.

When Chi Shengchun and Shen Mu arrived, more than a dozen beautifully dressed singing and dancing girls withdrew from Tianmen. Seeing the two of them winking, most of their targets were concentrated on Chi Shengchun, and they called "Master Chi" in a coquettish voice. ", even Shen Mu next to him felt the heart-melting taste of Ruanxiang.

Chi Shengchun stepped over the threshold, and immediately said with a long smile: "I have admired Brother Situ for a long time, and today I can finally fulfill Chi Shengchun's wish. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
