Leaving this sentence, Long Bo no longer ignored the former Jingan Sicheng and turned to walk from the cellar door step by step. When he reached the ground, he looked around and cast his gaze into the dark corner that the lantern light could not cover.

Tianbao three years on January 14th, Haizheng.

Changan, unknown.

Squeak--

The wooden cage door, which had not been opened for a long time, was dragged open, and the pivot made a jerky, shriveled sound. Li Bi was pushed forward by someone and almost fell to the ground. He wore a chain of iron shackles on his ankles, his hands were firmly tied behind him, and a cloth strap was tied in his mouth to prevent his tongue from killing himself.

After appreciating the fiery thunder, he was taken by a cricket to a cellar near the courtyard. There is a huge wooden cage here, probably what the owner used to hold overseas rare birds and animals, and there is a faint smell between the wooden cracks.

Li Bi stood upright, far from the fence on either side. He didn't plan to sit down or lie down. It was the behavior of caged beasts. He kept his last dignity.

The entire cellar has only a small window that is breathable, so the breath is very cloudy. Both guards stood by the door of the cellar, intentionally or unintentionally, where there was a sloping stone step leading up to the ground and breathing a little bit more comfortably.

These guards are very relaxed, they are not worried that Li Bi will run away. This is a weak scholar, without any fighting skills, even if he broke free of the bondage, he was still trapped in a wooden cage; even if he got out of the wooden cage, he was trapped in the cellar-even if he really left from the cellar with 10,000 steps back, there was a courtyard outside The large number of guards in it is absolutely impossible to escape. Their only duty to stay underground is actually to prevent Li Mi from committing suicide.

Li Bi is well aware that he may not be spared this time. What he is most anxious now is not to save his life, but to try to spread the news, at least let Zhang Xiaojing know what the cricket trick is.

Li Bi is not afraid of death. He is worried about the people in Donggong and Chengcheng.

He looked around again, trying to find a trace of flaws. But Li Mi was once again disappointed. The security here was too strict and went deep into the crypt. Not to mention spreading the news, he could not even see anything outside.

If Zhang Xiaojing is here, what will he do? Li Bi couldn't help thinking, but he couldn't imagine it. A child of Gaomen who has been eating Jinyuyu since he was young can't really figure out the thoughts of a veteran who escaped from the dead in the Western Regions.

"Prince, this time I may have to speak ..." A voice sounded in his heart, which could not be suppressed anyway.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the mouth of the cellar. Li Bi raised his head and found that Long Bo actually turned around again. The man was still chewing on the mint leaves. The cheek gang was extremely hard, and there was a subtle smile on his face.

He walked to the wooden cage: "Li Sicheng, I came here specially to congratulate him."

Li Bi said nothing, he knew there must be some bad news-but where could the situation go?

"My men just reported that Secretary Jing'an has been rebuilt, and Si Cheng, your heavy burden, can be lifted." Long Bo stared at Li Mi, watching his brows slowly twist together, and his heart was very fast. It is a pity that Li Mi has a cloth in his mouth, otherwise he would be more enjoyable if he listened to him.

"I heard that the person who took over was the history of the court servant named Ji Wen. The first thing the new official took office was that Zhang Xiaojing was wanted in the city, saying that he was an internal traitor. Now the three feather orders of Jingan Division have spread throughout Changan. "

Without much explanation, Long Bo knew that Li Bi would understand the meaning behind this news. Li Xiang strongly intervened, Jing Ansi's authority was completely lost, and the last silver lining to solve the earthworm is being cut off by his own people.

He deliberately ran down the cellar to say this, just to give the prisoner a final blow. Long Bo believes that this unexpected good news will make Li Mi completely give up his resistance. He looked at it with a smile on his face. Sure enough, Li Bi's wrinkled eyebrows never stretched out again.

Long Bo raised his finger and asked the guard to remove the cloth in Li Mi's mouth. Li Bi took a long breath, he didn't bite his tongue. By now, self-sufficiency is meaningless.

"Behind these worms, it was Li Xiang?" Li Mi asked.

Long Bo laughed: "Si Cheng really exalted us, we can't afford to climb such a big person-but the new chief sent by Li Xiang is not undercover, but better than undercover. Under his auspices, No one is tracking us now, and all our attention is on Zhang Xiaojing. We should send him a plaque. "

Li Mi ignored this joke: "What about Zhang Xiaojing? Was he also captured?"

"Morning and evening. If Zhang Xiaojing is smart enough, he should have managed to escape from the city now." Long Bo said happily.

Li Mi moved his lips without refuting. Zhang Xiaojing has lost the guarantee of being pardoned, and has been deprived of the power to investigate the case. There is no reason to stick to it, and he will choose this way when he changes his position in Zhang Xiaojing.

The face of Qingjun showed a deep, mournful look, and his eyes were full of light. This time it was completely lost. Long Bo knew that this man had lost his motivation to resist because he couldn't see it at all.

"So Si Cheng doesn't have to be illusory anymore, just rest in peace, read the mantra, fight, maybe he can really become an immortal in a few moments, and I have to thank me for achieving your immortality."

Leaving this sentence, Long Bo no longer ignored the former Jingan Sicheng and turned to walk from the cellar door step by step. When he reached the ground, he looked around and cast his gaze into the dark corner that the lantern light could not cover. There was a figure lurking there, and just now he was passing the latest news.

Long Bo hasn't spoken yet, and the characteristic hoarse voice of the fish intestines has passed into his ears: "I'm leaving."

"Huh? Shou Maolang's clue should have been completely cut off? Where are you going?" Long Bo froze.

"I'm going to kill Zhang Xiaojing." The voice is still so plain, but it contains a thick murderous opportunity.

Long Bo knew that the fish intestines had always been arrogant. This time he almost got caught in Zhang Xiaojing's trap and lost an arm. This shame and shame must be washed away. He frowned: "Zhang Xiaojing should have been out of town? He is not that stupid."

"He is so stupid. I saw that he had returned to Jing'an Division. If I had to come here in return, I would have put it on." Yuchang replied stubbornly.

"Jing Ansi?" The news surprised Long Bo. "Is he going to throw himself in the net?"

There was no movement in the dark, and the fish intestines did not know why Zhang Xiaojing had such an abnormal behavior.

Long Bo glanced at the water leak in the courtyard, and now it was Hai Zheng passing a bit, he said to the fish gut: "Don't be distracted by this person, the last step of the task will start immediately, you and I will get things done. Side, let him go, there should be no threat to us. "

"It's up to you, but I want to do it myself."

The sound of the fish intestines disappeared, and he had left the courtyard. Long Bo stopped at the spot for a while, reached out and touched the belt, and found that the mint leaves had been chewed. He smacked his lips in annoyance and ordered the people next to him to prepare a strong mule.

Long Bo stood under the lamp and murmured in a voice that no one heard.

Prince Li Heng heard the noise outside and could not help putting down the tail of his hand and leaning out of Siwangche, just to see that Tanqi was picking up the board of Siwangche and shouted with his voice.

In the dark, he couldn't see the woman's face, but the voice shocked him:

"His Royal Highness! Jing'an is in trouble!"

Li Heng slightly looked to the left and right with panic. Such words were shouted out on the street, and even the guard of honor and the people around them could hear them. How much trouble would this cause?

The guards responded quickly, and they have already passed. Two or three people grabbed Tanqi and dragged her away from the car fiercely. Someone else raised the knife, and at the same time the driver shook the reins and speeded up. This was the normal reaction when the honour was accidental. Li Heng stood up quickly and waved his arm: "Stop! Stop!"

The driver had already increased his speed, and when he heard that he was about to stop, he had to slam the reins. It is a pity that this is a scooter, and the four horses have different reactions. Such rapid acceleration and deceleration caused the car to mess up. The rear horse stopped, the front horse was still running, and the four forces were uneven. The carriage skewed to the right and crooked several pedestrians in a row. It also threw the rear compartment hard, fine. The side of the carved lacquer box scratched a long mouth on the square wall.

The princess Wei, who was in the same car, held the front rail somewhat awkwardly and asked her husband dissatisfiedly. Li Heng didn't care about her, shouted back, "Don't do it, bring her over!"

The soldiers had already taken Tanqi away from the crowd, but the prince said, they had to turn around, grab her two arms, and dragged all the way to the Siwang car. In order to defend themselves with the sharp blade, they also touched roughly on Tanqi and pulled apart several silk threads.

With the help of the lantern beside Siwang, Li Heng saw Tan Qi's face and recognized her as the house-servant maid beside Li Mi. It seems to be called Tan Qi? However, unlike the grace and grace of the past, her bun was torn apart, her long black hair was draped down, her clothes were disheveled, and she was extremely dreadful.

Under Wei's suspicious gaze, Li Heng got off the car. Instead of approaching Tanqi immediately, he looked around and raised his hand and said to the soldier: "Take her there, empty all around, and idlers can't wait."

The place he was referring to was a tea shed. This is a temporary bamboo shed built by the square wall, and the outside is surrounded by several wooden boxes and tarpaulins, which are used as counters. A wide cart was parked behind the counter, and a cart stove was set up on the cart to mix and cook inferior loose broken tea leaves with ginger, salt and crisp pepper. Those who watch the lanterns are thirsty and will come to ask for a bowl of drink, although the taste is light, after all, bento.

The prince had orders, and the guards immediately passed, cleared the shed owner and the guests drinking tea, and then raised a curtain to separate the tea shed from a clean space. When there were no more people in the barrier, Li Heng asked Tan Qi what was going on.

Tan Qi saw that the prince's face was only amazed, but no anxiety, and he understood that he didn't even know that Jing Anji had been attacked. I do n’t know if this is because Li Heng was so relieved about Li Mi, or someone deliberately refused to let the news go to the East Palace ...

She calmed down and said the previous thing briefly. Upon hearing this, Li Heng stepped back a few steps and leaned against the car's stove, his expression was like thunder. He stayed for a moment before he asked anxiously: "So ... what about Changyuan?"

Tan Qi shook her head, and she didn't go back to Guangdefang. She didn't know exactly what happened, but the son must have been in trouble. Li Heng walked back and forth a few steps, called in a loud voice, and asked him to rush to Guangdefang immediately to find out what happened there as soon as possible.

The kiss was heard immediately and left immediately. At this time, Crown Princess Wei's face came in worriedly, asking what happened, but Li Heng roared gaily and let her out. He personally pulled the curtain down again, and then turned his hands around the waist, dragged the gadgets, knives, stones and other gadgets tied to the top-this is Li Heng's habit when he is upset .

Jing Ansi is his hard work, and Li Mi is his confidant, neither of these two Li Heng can afford to lose. But now that such a big deal happened, he had to rely on a maidservant to report to death. This made Li Heng panic besides his anger.

Tan Qi watched silently and sighed secretly in his heart. This Eastern Palace, there are too few confidants to rely on. As soon as Li Bi went, he could not even grasp the most basic information.

Li Heng glanced at Tanqi and murmured: "Changyuan is so smart, it's okay ... right?" Rather than saying that he was consoling Tanqi, it was better to say that he was encouraging himself. Tan Qi stepped forward and whispered: "His Royal Highness, the most urgent thing now is not the son, but Zhang Xiaojing."

"Zhang Xiaojing?" Li Heng remembered the name before recalling it. For this prisoner, Li Bi and He Zhizhang almost collapsed. He Zhizhang is still unconscious.

"Now Zhang Duwei is the only hope for investigating Que Lehuduo. But somehow, Jing Anji issued an order and wanted him all over the city. Your prince, you must try to solve this matter! Otherwise, the entire Chang'an City ... Finished! "

Li Heng wondered: "Isn't the Turkic people solved?"

Tan Qi was in a hurry, even for a moment, even ignoring the inferiority and humbleness, stepped forward and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, behind Wolf Guard, there is another mastermind. The crisis in Chang'an has not been lifted, and non-Zhang Duwei cannot break this game!"

Li Heng frowned: "This person really has such a god? Er, the top priority should be to figure out Chang Yuan ... Er, and what happened to Jing Ansi. Wait for my pros to return."

Tan Qi feels that the prince is too indecisive, and now he can't waste time, let alone make a mistake. She was about to urge, when Webster lifted the curtain for the second time, she looked at Tanqi suspiciously, and then said to Li Heng:

"Your Highness, the Spring Banquet is about to begin."

Li Heng remembered this, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

This spring banquet is not an ordinary spring banquet, but a Shangyuan spring banquet held by the emperor in Xingqing Palace. At the beginning of the child's time, both the Jingzhong Clan and the emperor of the Manchu Dynasty will participate; the banquet continues until the ugly, full-hearted monarchs will gather in the main building of Qinzheng to watch the lantern-pulling celebrations sent by various places. This is true for the Yuan Dynasty.

As a prince, you must not be absent or late for such an important occasion.

Li Heng said to Tan Qi: "You get on the bus with me and go to Xingqing Palace first. After you get over there, you can make a decision."

So far, Tanqi can only helplessly walk out of the barrier and stand beside Wei's as a maid. Wei's husband just scolded her husband just now and was in a bad mood. She didn't give her any good looks. But she also saw that the woman had no emotional relationship with her husband and she lost interest.

The Siwang car and the ceremonial start again, cutting through the steaming crowds around and heading towards the Xingqing Palace not far away. The closer to the palace gate, the more dazzling the lights, Tanqi can already be seen. In the square in front of the Qinzheng government building, there is a huge light building over 150 feet high, shaped like a gourd, covered with ribbons, decorated with gold and silver , Standing quietly in the dark.

Tan Qi has participated in many times to observe the lanterns in Shangyuan, but she has never imagined that a lamphouse is so huge. She has almost built the limelight of the Qinzheng government building, and even the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has no such power.

It's not ugly at this time, it hasn't lit the candlelight all over the body, but the sky's momentum has been revealed. Tanqi is unimaginable. When it lights up, what kind of arrogance should it be.

After Zhang Xiaojing and Yisi left Pingkangfang, they went straight to Guangdefang. Izse didn't know from which shop he found a Persian-style wide-brimmed pointed hat, buckled Zhang Xiaojing, and applied two circles of ink around his eyes. In this way, Zhang Xiaojing turned into a brahmin drama, and the funny ink makeup just covered the characteristics of one eye.

In this way, unless you are stopped and carefully checked, you don't have to worry about being disguised.

Now the entire Chang'an City has been completely engulfed in carnival. Every street and every corner is shoulder-to-shoulder and full of people. They have completed the first round of lantern viewing, and now they are turning to watching juggling songs and dances everywhere. This makes the flow extremely turbulent, like dozens of rivers running staggered.

In this case, a mule is more suitable for riding than a tall horse. The two of them stole two mules and walked through the city all the way. Sometimes, I don't take the avenue, but go through the whole Fang area from Fangmen.

Thanks to the good makeup of East, they even passed through seven or eight crossings with sentries. Under such extremely crowded conditions, the Jing'an Division's wanted order cannot be completely executed, and most of the martial artists just scribbled things. There was only one Fang Bing who saw Zhang Xiaojing dressed as a traitor, and asked him to play a joke about Brahman drama. Where did Zhang Xiaojing know this? Fortunately, Is played a round and was confused.

Zhang Xiaojing has been pursing his mouth all the way through, his eyes flashing under the ink makeup.

In the previous two hours, the change of Jing'an Division was too strange, and the news from Wanglou was unknown. He felt that he had to go back and look at it to find out the real situation.

In particular, Yao Ru could issue the warning: "Don't go back, don't go back, don't go back." That naive and old-fashioned young man who was a little stupid had to issue such a warning in despair.

How bad is the situation of Jing'an?
