Li Yifu came out of the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion and looked up at the gray sky. His heart was extremely frustrated and there was also a hint of anger.
I thought that due to the Guanlong rebellion, I had an insight into the situation and chose the right side. From now on, I would rise to the top and have a prosperous official career. In order to follow the steps of the East Palace, I would rather leave the post of Jingyang County Magistrate. I have already defected to Ma Zhou's sect. It is not a sacrifice.
Not big.
But he didn't expect that Fang Jun still had a prejudice against him, which immediately hit him hard... Even if he couldn't figure it out, where did Fang Er, a bastard, have his prejudice against him come from?
It stands to reason that when I was taking the imperial examination, I was "favored by a gift of clothes" from Fang Jun. This incident was once a good story. As long as Fang Jun gave me a little help, it would be a good story. Moreover, I am humble and respectful, and have excellent abilities.
No matter how you look at it, he will become an important figure under Fang Er.
But who knows that Fang Jun not only abandons himself like a shoestring, but also suppresses him in various ways...
What a killer.
Li Yifu sighed for a while, lamenting the bad luck and unfair fate. He was also disheartened by what Ma Zhou had told him. No matter how well he did, what was the use? Considering the deep friendship between Ma Zhou and Fang Er, since Fang Er
If Ma Zhou still refuses to change his original intention of suppressing him, how can Ma Zhou reuse him?
My heart is full of sadness that I don’t have time to deal with...
However, he is a man with a strong mind. Although the setbacks he suffered were heartbreaking, he refused to bow his head and accept his fate. He immediately braced himself and went to summon the Yamen and subordinate officials of Jingzhao Mansion to assist the "Hundred Cavalry Division" in their actions.
Heaven has done more than it can to make up for its shortcomings. Who can guarantee that I, the unlucky guy, will not face a huge turning point in my life?
Only by smiling at life with the best spirit at all times can we seize the opportunity when it comes...

At night, all the city gates in Chang'an City were closed, and entry and exit were strictly prohibited. The lights on the city wall were brilliant, and the city above and below was as bright as day. Countless soldiers patrolled the city, and the atmosphere was tense.
This is even more true in the city. A team of soldiers is stationed in every square. Unless they are seriously ill and need to hire a doctor to give birth, the rest are prohibited from traveling for any reason. Dong Gongliu leads his troops with helmets and armor, fully armed, in all streets of the city.
Patrol the streets and arrest anyone whose whereabouts are unknown immediately. If there is resistance, kill them on the spot.
Inside and outside Chang'an, there was a state of mourning and a sleepless night...
Almost all the "Hundred Cavalry Division" were dispatched. With the cooperation of Dong Palace Sixth and Jingzhao Mansion, they attacked everywhere. Dongshi, Qinglongfang, Jingshanfang and other places swarmed in, and several shops, temples, and mansions were broken down.
Entering, the strong bows and armor leaves clanged, and the sound of killing shocked countless miles. Half of the dignitaries in Chang'an did not know what was happening. When they heard that the "Baiqisi" attacked with all their strength, they were all frightened and trembling.
There are emperors and courtiers, and when the imperial power changes, countless new nobles rise up, and countless old powerful officials fall from power. No one wants to be the one abandoned by the times...
Li Ji's camp has been stationed to the east of Baqiao, backed by Lishan Mountain and facing Ba River. The endless camps extend on the north and south sides, and there are countless shadows in the night.
…
In the Chinese army tent, Wang Shoushi rested his tea cup on his finger, feeling a little uneasy.
Since the evening, Chang'an City has been under martial law. Anyone who leaves the city must hold the prince's warrant, otherwise he is not allowed to leave the city even half a step. This has caused his companions in the city to completely lose contact. There are still two secret passages from the palace to the outside of the city.
, but it is used to pass information when entering and exiting the palace in an emergency. Once the palace owner is heavily guarded, rashly opening these secret passages will only expose them all, and even the last trump card will be lost.
But the prince clearly plans to leave the city tomorrow, so why put Chang'an under martial law now?
Is it better to be on the safe side, just in case, or is it more targeted?
It's a pity that his eyesight on the news in the city is now dark, and he has a sense of powerlessness that the situation is completely out of control, which makes him even more frightened...
A middle-aged man dressed as an eunuch came in from outside, walked to Wang Shoushi, and whispered: "Several teams of people sent out have returned. The inside and outside of Chang'an City are like iron plates. A needle can't be inserted, and water can't be poured in. There’s no way you can get in.”
Wang Shoushi's face became increasingly embarrassed, his dead fish eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slowly.
The middle-aged eunuch bowed and walked away without looking at Li Ji, who was sitting behind the desk...
Wang Shoushi once again thought carefully about whether there had been any recent leaks that aroused the prince's alarm. He didn't think of anything wrong for a long time. His companions in the city had been hiding in various strongholds for more than ten years. They had already truly lurked and would never be exposed at a critical moment. possible.
On the contrary, people are trying to force Princess Fangling to seduce Princess Linchuan. Will Fang Jun see the clues and follow the clues?
Wang Shoushi's eyelids twitched, he hoped it wasn't so...
…
Li Ji took the time to drink tea and deal with official documents. He glanced at Wang Shoushi from the corner of his eye from time to time. Seeing his expression changing and restless, he couldn't help but be curious. This old eunuch had really seen strong winds and waves, and he was disabled. Few people can match the perseverance of his mind. It is not an exaggeration to say that his face does not change even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. What could make him feel so anxious?
There is a faint worry in my heart. This old eunuch is unruly and has a twisted temperament. He must not do anything irrational...
The atmosphere in the tent was a little strange. The generals and captains were coming in and out, receiving orders, and reporting on military affairs. But as long as no one else was around, the tent would be quiet. The two of them were only a foot away from each other, but they interacted with each other. They didn't look at each other, didn't talk to each other, and were completely silent.
Finally, Wang Shoushi couldn't help it, put down his tea cup, coughed slightly, and asked: "No matter whether the prince will leave the city tomorrow or not, why did he seal the four gates and impose martial law on the city this evening? Something must have happened in the city."
Taking the initiative to speak, even if he took the initiative to surrender, he looked at Li Ji and hoped that the other party could express his opinions on this situation. After all, Li Ji, Wen, and Tao were among the best in the world in martial arts. He felt ashamed of himself. If they could discuss it with each other, maybe they would reveal the truth about the prince true intention.
Li Jizheng was looking at the official document in his hand. When he heard this, he nodded slightly and snorted out of his nostrils: "Well..."
Then Wang Shoushi waited for a long time, but nothing more happened.
Wang Shoushi's eyes twitched: "..."
Damn! You don't even bother to deal with it? Although you have a high position and are polite to all officials, I am a chamberlain and someone close to the emperor. How can you treat me with such contempt?
Immediately he said displeasedly: "Although you and I have different political opinions, but the British prince is so contemptuous and insulting, where will your majesty's important affairs go?"
"Snapped!"
With a soft sound, Li Ji dropped the official document in his hand on the desk and said with a cold expression: "First of all, you are just an eunuch. Don't forget your origin and responsibilities. It is an ancient rule that eunuchs are not allowed to engage in politics. How can you speak of "political opinions"? Secondly, I have already responded to your words, so why should I despise the insult? You are also a person of status, so don't mess around."
Eunuchs are physically handicapped, and even though they are in a high position and can control the wind and rain, they still have low self-esteem in their hearts. They have sensitive and twisted personalities. They are most afraid of others talking about their disabilities. When they hear this, they are furious. But facing Li Ji, It's okay to be sarcastic and sarcastic, but it's not possible to really fall out.
Wang Shoushi held back his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "The British Lord just said 'hmm', isn't this considered perfunctory?"
Li Ji said calmly: "Since I said 'hmm', it means that I agree with your analysis and guess. This is enough. Is it possible that I have to deny it to be considered perfunctory? If so, since you know what you said It's wrong, so why bother saying it? Why don't you just shut up?"
Wang Shoushi was very angry, and then he realized that all the big guys who could stand tall in the court, apart from their own outstanding abilities, did not give away their power of words in vain.
Knowing that he was not an opponent in the war of words, he nodded and said: "The British official document is one of the best in the world, and I hope to give you some guidance. After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot make mistakes."
With all news from Chang'an Chengnei, he was at a loss as to what to do and panicked. He urgently needed Li Ji's help to break the situation, so he could only endure the other party's bad attitude.
Seeing that he gave in, Li Ji didn't think it was his own fault. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He thought about it and said curiously: "Whether Chang'an is under martial law or not has nothing to do with us. We can only cross the Ba River tomorrow and arrive at Chunming Gate. That's it. It doesn't matter what kind of conspiracy the prince is playing...but the king's servant pays so much attention to the situation in Chang'an City. Could it be that he secretly arranged some operation in the city, fearing that the entire city would be under martial law and the operation would completely fail?"
At this point, Li Ji put down his tea cup, knocked on the table, and said dissatisfied: "We two bear a big responsibility. Even if we can't help each other, we must at least communicate with each other. When one party takes action, he must inform the other party. Even basic trust is a condition to ensure the completion of the mission. The king's servant acted without authorization without the commander's knowledge. If this leads to bad consequences and the mission fails, whose responsibility is it? Who can bear this responsibility? "
After talking about it, his momentum was full and his voice and expression were fierce.
This eunuch is really too unruly, untrainable, and stupid. Do you still think that the world now is the same as when you were so unscrupulous? Although Fang Jun is young, his ability is definitely the best in the world. Since the frame-up cannot be successful this time, then We should take a long-term approach and not do it over and over again.
Do you really think Fang Jun is a vegetarian?
Wang Shoushi was a little embarrassed and unjustly accused. He did look down on Fang Jun and thought he was just a lucky man. Even if he won a few battles, it could only prove his bravery, but for these intrigues in the court, , not necessarily so familiar.
As a result, the trap he carefully designed did not catch Fang Jun, but instead he was in danger of being discovered and retaliated...
It would be fine if the action just failed. The overall situation is more important now. There will be many opportunities to deal with Fang Jun in the future. However, the martial law in the city has cut off contact with the inner city at such a critical moment. What if Fang Jun is really traced to the source and caught? Heels, what should I do?
