The towering city gate rumbles open.

Carriages, horses and pedestrians flocked out of the city, and the "Zhu" flag took the lead and headed east towards the dawn.

Bian Shaoyuan looked out of the city until the eye-catching flag disappeared on the horizon, then he withdrew his gaze and turned around and stepped into the city tower.

At this time, next to the missing carving in the city tower, Ling Shi had already made daily records: "June, Gengshen, and Mao, open."

After Ling Shi left, Bian Shaoyuan's door looked around and then closed the door and immediately replaced the leaking arrow for the leaking pot.

Therefore, the time of the instructions was missing suddenly reversed back to the "Eighth Quarter of Yin".

After Bian Shaoyuan destroyed the suspicious item, he sat on the stool and felt a little at a loss.

It turned out that in order to let Bian Shaoyuan open the city as soon as possible, the mysterious man gave him a short leaking arrow. At first he was a little dissatisfied with this. The opening of the city gate is different from the palace gate, and it is not so strict. If there are no special circumstances, it is up to the city gate man to decide at his discretion. As long as it is not outrageous, he will generally not be held accountable by his superiors.

However, the mysterious man woke him up in just one sentence: "In this way, you can avoid your suspicion."

Bian Shaoyuan really didn't know what impact he would have, especially the word "suspect", which made him feel that something big would happen.

But as soon as he thought about it, he remembered the gold he had obtained, and he gradually made up his mind.

For him, it would be better if this city gate man with a meager salary is not good.

What he wants to do most now is to return to his hometown in Hebei, find his fiancée whom he has been separated for two years, and even he thought of a way to leave Chang'an...

...

...

Changlepo, eastern suburbs of Chang'an.

Gao Lie stood on the top of the slope, looking up at Chang'an from afar.

Under the slope behind him, dozens of trucks were parked neatly, and a group of people were sitting or standing next to the car, each with cold expressions, silent, and the scene was extremely quiet.

Seeing a "Zhu" flag leading a large group of cars and horses to drive quickly along the post road, Gao Lie quickly shouted behind him: "Here you come, get ready to go!"

Under the hillside, horses roar, donkeys roar, hooves, and wheels suddenly sounded.

While waving his arms, Gao Lie pulled his feet and ran towards the "Zhu" flag. When he got closer, a big hand like a palm fan suddenly popped out of the curtain of the car and pulled Gao Lie into the tent.

The two teams of carriages and horses met on the road without any pauses, and soon they lined up in two rows and advanced in parallel.

In the tent of the big cart with the "Zhu" flag, Gao Lie sat opposite a big man.

This big man was extremely burly. He just sat there, his body was more than Gao Lie. He looked like a brave warrior, but he was wearing a suit of merchants made of high-quality cloth. He was Cui Yuanxun, a former general of the Eastern Han army who refused to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and now he transformed into the "Zhu Ba" of Fanyang salt merchants.

After a while of silence, Cui Yuanxun said quietly: "Your people only brought four small boxes. It seems that something must have happened to the prince Jiancheng."

When Gao Lie saw the size and number of boxes in the car, he knew that Princess Mingzhao's plan was not going well. Suomei said in a deep voice: "Planning is for people, and success is for heaven. My biggest worry now is the safety of your master."

Cui Yuanxun thought for a while and said politely: "At that time, the Lord's Lord urged the court to provide relief to the hungry people in Hebei, and his merits were great. In ancient times, there was a good man who had his own heavenly appearance. I believe that the Lord would not have any danger of life."

Gao Lie sighed: "Then I have experienced how decisive and cruel the King of Qin is, but I ask God for blessing."

In the Battle of Mingshui, in order to defeat Liu Heita in one fell swoop, Li Shimin ordered the digging of the Yongji Canal. In addition to drowning thousands of Han Eastern Army soldiers such as Gao Lie's adoptive father Gao Yaxian, the surging flood also swallowed countless villages, which was a great harm to heaven.

After that, Li Shimin slaughtered Hebei, and stipulated that all generals and generals of the Eastern Han Army would be executed by name, and all wives and children would be slaves. There were countless people arrested and killed for a while, so that Li Yuan issued an edict to appease him, and no one in the Hebei prefectures dared to believe it.

Moreover, during his time as Gao Liepo, he rarely appeared in front of outsiders, and never met Li Shimin.

Therefore, the King of Qin in his mind was always the ruthless image he had never let him down

Not worried about Princess Mingzhao who entered the palace alone.

While talking, the convoy reached a fork in the road and suddenly stopped. Cui Yuanxun and Gao Lie quickly transferred two of the boxes to the opposite side of the vehicles.

Then, the two of them said goodbye with their fists, and the convoy split into two and set off again. Cui Yuanxun's team directly passed a bridge in front and continued to move eastward, while the other team, led by Gao Lie, rushed north along the shore of the water.

...

...

The morning breeze was gentle, and Qin Shubao had been guarding the iron gate of this black prison for two hours.

Few people come here, except for the intermittent muffled sounds in the prison cell, there is a quiet surroundings.

Since surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, Qin Shubao has been following King Qin Li Shimin to fight.

He is the pioneer when fighting against Song Jingang.

He was the pioneer in defeating Dou Jiande.

Defeat Liu Heita, he is still the pioneer...

But on the day of the decisive battle between the imperial power, he became a prison guard.

Of course, Qin Shubao could understand it in his heart.

After all, the one who was locked in this prison was not an ordinary person. At least he had been fighting for the rest of his life and knocked away the iron mace in his hand.

Fortunately, he has a unique skill that can be used to make a move, otherwise he would not be able to save face for himself.

However, as a military general, Qin Shubao naturally has the mentality of respecting the strong, and everyone loves beauty. Princess Mingzhao's appearance also makes it difficult for him, a big man to kill.

Therefore, when he threw the opponent with his mace, he deliberately retained his strength, just not wanting to cause too much damage to it.

Perhaps because of this, Changsun Wuji suggested to the King of Qin that he would leave him alone here "just in case".

Qin Shubao is dull by nature and does not understand the worldly ways, but he still understands that he must have made Changsun Wuji very unhappy.

Because everyone in the Qin Palace knows that this guy is so frugal, cold-blooded, and he uses any means to achieve his goal and never distinguishes his target.

So when Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie and others left, they all looked at him with sympathy...

Qin Shubao saw the object that bound the princess. His handcuffs and shackles were as thick as an inch, and his iron chains were as thick as peach eggs. They were completely piles of iron lumps. Even if he smashed them with his iron mace, he might not be able to break them open, not to mention there was an iron gate weighing more than a thousand pounds.

Qin Shubao felt that there was no "in case" at all, unless this princess was a god and ghost monster, it would be impossible to escape from this black prison.

And the only thing he can do is wait until the coup is over.

Before we knew it, it was already dawn and the inside of the prison door finally became quiet.

After a while, Qin Shubao rubbed his sore temples and couldn't help but laugh: "This energetic woman finally knows she's tired."

But as soon as he relaxed, the cell made a sound again, but this time, the source of the sound turned into an iron gate!

Qin Shubao felt a warning in his heart, and instinctively felt danger. However, the iron gate only made two roars and flew outwards, with speed as fast as lightning. Qin Shubao could not dodge and was smashed to the ground by the iron gate on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, he was reaching out to push the iron gate on his body when he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his arms, so he heard the sound of bone exploding.

In just this moment, Qin Shubao knew that the martial arts he was proud of had been completely useless, and he became a useless man like the blind Hou Junji.

At this time, his body could no longer move, his chest was pressed so hard that he could hardly breathe. After moving his throat a few times, he could only let out a whine cry.

"Um?"

With a sound of surprise, the iron gate was lifted to the side. Li Yao, wearing a plain palace outfit, suddenly came into Qin Shubao's eyes. He saw her long hair on her waist was scattered, with heavy shackles on her wrists and ankles, and there were still a piece of iron chains left. Her slender wrist ankles were stained with blood and flesh, and white bones appeared faintly, which was shocking, but she seemed to be unaware of it.

Li Yao stepped on the ground with barefoots, looked up at the surroundings, and suddenly asked nervously: "Where am I?"

In a closed and quiet environment

Under the dual influence of anxiety and anger, even though Li Yao's willpower is beyond ordinary people, he is almost on the verge of schizophrenia.

As if she was forcibly instilled with memory, the continuous unfamiliar scenes appeared in her mind, making her unable to tell who she was.

Li Yao raised his hand and gently stroked his forehead. Looking at the man with a distorted face on the ground and full of "collapse" and tried to ask: "You... or Qin Qiong?"

Although Qin Qiong was in pain all over, his mind was still a little clear. When he heard this unintentional and intentional "sarcasm", he felt the urge to cry: "I am!"

Li Yao asked anxiously without thinking: "Then tell me quickly, where is this? How should I get to Linhu Palace?"

Qin Shubao closed his mouth tightly. He knew that this could not be said, so he simply closed his eyes, hoping to die quickly.

Li Yao saw his thoughts, snorted coldly, no longer wasting time, so he chose a direction at will, and ran away...

...

...

"Clang clang clang clang clang..."

Li Yao dragged the iron chain and ran almost madly until a broken rammed earth wall blocked her eyes, and then stopped.

With a brand new memory, she recognized it with just one glance.

No wonder she couldn't meet anyone. It turned out that the place where she was detained was a long abandoned military camp in the Yeting Court.

Li Yao took a few steps back, and ran up and jumped onto the earth wall. He looked up and looked ahead. He saw green forests like screens, rockery like ridges, and clear streams winding into the clear pond. The scenery was very beautiful.

She knew that it was the Shanchi Courtyard located in the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace, and one mile to the southeast was the place she wanted to go the most now.

After identifying the location, Li Yao immediately jumped off the earth wall, ran and jumped again, and soon left the mountain pond. Because she was only busy running wildly, when she was approaching the sea pond, she met a knight who was galloping on a horse.

The person who came was none other than Yuchi Jingde. The two of them blurted out at the same time: "It's you!"
