Chapter 459
end of April.

A large number of domestic servants and guards in the imperial city rode out of the city in batches, wearing bamboo hats to hide their faces, and carrying burdens on their backs, which obviously meant that they had to go far away for some urgent business.

The soldiers stationed at the city gate held their iron spears and looked at the group of people who were being inspected. They raised their heads and moved towards the head of a strong man.

"Where are you going? Your Majesty has issued an order, and now the city is strictly guarded..."

While speaking, Yurun's waist badge slowly hung down from the top of his head, and it caught the eyes of the guards, and then there was a cruel sound from the horse's back.

"Would you like to watch it?"

Even though he had never met Mr. Li Ji himself, he was fortunate to have seen the waist badge on the mansion from Mr. Li Fu.

The words stopped abruptly in an instant, put away his lazy demeanor, hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, and hurriedly waved for several soldiers to move away the horse-rejecting posts at the gate of the city.

In the way to give way, he saluted respectfully, bowed and made a gesture of asking, and licked his smiling face and said.

"This official, your lord, please."

drive~
Without looking directly at the humble figure, the leader raised his whip and galloped away.

The guards with only bows, arrows and knives on their backs hurriedly followed, causing the people and traders passing by to give way one after another.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a group of figures quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes, and some people frowned as they fanned away the dust in front of their noses.

"Who is this, the land of the imperial city, dare to be so arrogant? Why don't you run into a lawsuit?"

"Hey! If they bump into someone, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Didn't you see the flying bird tattooed on the shoulder of the shirt? The servant of the Minister of the Ministry of War Li Ji's house!"

"Isn't it? Why is the servant of Li's family going out of the city? It looks like something urgent..."

"...I heard that several Duke's mansions in the imperial city have dispatched troops..."

When the voice fell, there were shouts of 'get out of the way' from the city gate.

A brawny man in a maroon military uniform held a long knife in his hand, leading a young man in all clothes on his horse out of the city, and when he reached the removed horse rejection post, he took the initiative to stop the horse.

The sun shone off the cold light of the knife blade, giving off a color that makes people feel chills on the back, causing many people who are leaving or entering the city to avoid it and dare not approach it.Even the soldiers in charge of the investigation unconsciously clenched the iron spears in their hands and surrounded them ten feet away, not daring to act rashly.

brush.

The brawny man danced his knives in the air, and a smile suddenly appeared on his fierce face, with a warm look.Put the long knife across the chest, and arch the arms towards the surroundings.

"Fathers and folks, I am the guard at the gate of Shen Guogong's mansion."

"This time, I am relying on the master's order to act, and I have no intention of breaking through."

"I also hope that if you all know the whereabouts of Mr. Li Xian and can provide one or two clues, the old master of the house will reward you with ten guan. If you can help find Mr. Li, the old man will reward you with hundreds of guan. Thanks a lot."

hiss~
The soldiers guarding the city gasped in their hearts.

What happened today?
Could it be that the group of servants who went out before were all looking for Li Xian?
Even Shen Guogong, an important minister of the country, can't help but pay attention to it?
Greeting several people to put away the weapons in their hands, the leading soldier arched his arms towards the five big and three thick men, and licked their smiling faces.

"Strong man, what crime did Mr. Li commit?"

"Why do people have to go out of the city, but now they have to chase them back?"

Although the face is not good, but this strong man is a warm-hearted man, he smiled, and put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Shen Guogong has some friendship with this kid. After a long time, the old man misses this kid."

When the voice fell, the brawny man remembered the second half of the sentence of the guards, and gave us a head.

"Hey! I can't tell you more, others are still looking for it, I can't lag behind!"

"gone!"

After beckoning, he rushed to the Huangtu official road in a hurry to meet the brigade behind him.

The evacuated people slowly stood in the middle of the road, looking at the dusty loess official road in a daze.

"What's the situation? You want to chase Li Xian back?"

"Didn't there be rumors earlier that Li Xian was a rebellious minister who wanted to rebel?"

"Who knows, how could we think that these people would know about the affairs of the court? But the servants in Duke Shen's mansion are not fake. I sent some firewood there, and we met once."

"Could it be that Mr. Li's matter was rumored? Let me just say, how could Mr. Li do such a thing with all his heart for the people..."

The people surrounding the city who didn't know the truth left after discussing for a while.

Lie Lie's banner with Tang characters was fluttered, and the city guards holding their weapons were a little numb when they saw another group of strong servants leaving the city.

"Why do you say that these people went to search for Mr. Li outside the city? Could it be that something difficult happened in the court?"

Li Xian's talent has long been known in the city, so he was the first to guess.

Holding the gun, the soldier leaning against the solid city wall frowned slightly.

"In my opinion, it's not just tricky, it's something that makes everyone's scalp tingle."

"But looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, now that the weather is smooth and the soldiers and horses are strong, there are very few things that can really cause headaches for the court officials."

After chatting rustlingly for a while, a soldier broke in from the side.

"Do you still remember the fast horse entering the city earlier? What is the urgent report from the border from the west?"

"I heard that even the bells and drums of the imperial city had no time to ring, so I went straight to the palace."

"Could it be that there is something important about the closing of the western frontier? Could it be that the thieves and barbarians in Tubo are going to attack the city?"

cut! ~
There was a voice of disdain from the side, and the corners of the soldiers who stood in Lieyang with their armor on their lips pursed.

"How dare they siege the city? Our Tang Dynasty is preparing for the princess to go to Tibet. If we use force now, they will know the consequences."

"What's more, there are so many veterans in the court, no matter how powerful Mr. Li is, can he compare with these experienced veterans?"

"The way I see it, it's something else."

The discussion stopped at this moment, and looking at the bustling people passing through the city, the soldier who spoke earlier seemed to remember something, and frowned and looked at his companion beside him.

"Have you ever heard that the states and counties in the western frontier are gradually locking their city gates?"

"In the past few days, Yue, a relative who came to seek shelter, mentioned this matter to outsiders, but it was a bit inexplicable. No one is allowed to come in and out at will..."

The voice fell, but it made some colleagues around me curious.

"Lock the city? Are there other matters?"

"Could it be that I'm ready to go to war? If it's this time, I have to prepare and defend the city for the rest of my life. It would be better to fight a good war."

"As far as your body is concerned, who will take it? Unless Mr. Li returns to the city and recruits some strong men in the city to train them to look like those majestic hundred cavalry."

"...Don't tell me, there are quite a few dukes who went to search this time, maybe they can really come back..."
