The secret passage was dark and dark, and two men stood face to face. One of them was a high-ranking general, and the other was a low-level officer of the Tang Army who became a bandit, and from a bandit to a killer assassin.
Dai Wang raised his head and asked with a shy smile: "Li Zhenshi, this must be an opportunity for you to be loyal to the saint. This must also be an opportunity for you to try your best to climb up, right?"
"I won't refute you when you say that I want to climb up, but when you say that I am loyal to the saint, you don't understand me." Li Siye tried his best to calm his tone: "The reason why I returned to Chang'an late at night was to get myself involved.
I got involved in this mess just because you got me involved."
"I have to find a way to save you. Dai Wang, don't forget that you are not just yourself. I am also responsible for the things you have done. Let's not say that you can't kill the emperor tonight. Even if you can,
He will only bring greater disaster to Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty, causing thousands of people like your brother to die due to criticism."
Dai Wang shook his head in surprise: "Isn't there a prince under the emperor? How could there be a disaster?"
"If the prince wants to ascend the throne, he must first get rid of his rival Li Linfu. Will Li Linfu sit back and wait for death? Although the prince has Li Shizhi and He Zhizhang as internal support, and Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi support externally, his power in Chang'an City has declined, and Gao Lishi can only
Loyal to Li Longji, Chen Xuanli also remained neutral. Whenever Li Linfu's party framed the prince and plotted regicide, these people would turn to Li Linfu and support King Yong's ascension to the throne. If the prince wanted to take a chance, he would have to summon Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi to lead the vassal troops.
When we enter the capital, internal and external strife will cause great chaos in Guanzhong. If we fight together, will the people be the first to be unlucky?"
Dai Wang was silent. He would rather believe that Li Siye was fabricating these things to convince him. He tried his best to find loopholes in his words, but does human flesh need to find loopholes? Does it need to be soaked in and accumulated for a long time? Their flesh
Maybe it only takes one thought. If you make a decision tonight, you can start killing and setting fire tomorrow.
"Believe me, Dai Wang, even if you put life and death at risk, you still can't ignore the lives of millions of people."
"What do you want me to do?" Dai Wang's eyes dimmed.
"Listen to me, pretend nothing happened and go back, waiting for an opportunity to help Zhang Xiaojing save the saint."
Dai Wang nodded silently, turned around and walked towards the end of the secret passage. Li Siye was hanging far behind him, thinking that he should not show his head for the time being, so that he could start his attack in the light and in the dark.
…
Outside the dark room of a singer in Pingkangfang Zhongqu, the faint light flickers as she moves. The beauty protects an oil lamp in her hand to prevent it from being blown by the dark wind underground. The top of her skirt is only covered with a thin
She has a thin and silky complexion, revealing her round and smooth shoulders, and walks slowly forward on the wooden corridor with her bare feet.
Behind her were two men, one with a fat body, the other with a thin face and a slightly hunched back. The two men were not attracted by the beauty of the woman at all, but they watched the surrounding environment with great vigilance.
The woman approached the next door and pulled the lantern to the side with one hand and the other. When the door was opened, the lights in the room turned on at the same time, revealing a gray-haired veteran wearing a purple robe sitting cross-legged in front of the desk.
After the beauty invited the two of them in, she walked out of the corridor again holding the lamp.
The two men crossed their hands and saluted the veteran behind the case: "Qiu Zhang Jianqiong, An Lushan pays a visit to Doctor Wang."
The person sitting in front of the table is the recently retired imperial censor, Liangzhou governor, Liangzhou governor, and Hexi Jiedushi Wang Jue. Among the ten Tianbao Jiedushi, Hexi Jiedushi has the heaviest mission and the most powerful troops under his command.
For 73,000 people.
Wang Chui grabbed the oil lamp in front of him and shook it up and down in his hand. He smiled after seeing their faces clearly: "You two are so polite. You and I are just colleagues, not superiors and subordinates. We should be equal and commensurate with each other."
.”
After he finished saying this, he walked out of the desk and sat cross-legged with Qiu Zhang Jianqiong and An Lushan, forming a triangular structure. People who know the three people present will find that they all have one thing in common.
He did not support the prince, nor was he completely dependent on Li Linfu. He was completely separated from the internal fighting in Chang'an and was the governor of the three vassal towns.
Wang Jue took the lead and looked at Qiu Zhang Jianqiong. Qiu Zhang frowned and crossed his hands and said, "The situation has changed drastically. The saint was kidnapped by Xiao Gui, Dai Wang, Zhang Xiaojing and others."
"How could it be out of control?"
"How do I know what happened? When the saint read out the names of the Tang soldiers who survived the last battle of the first regiment, Xiao Gui burst into tears immediately. He knelt on the ground and already bowed his head. All he needed to do was to make him reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.
Then you are done. Unexpectedly, the saint shot an arrow and pulled out the lamp first, and also said that he was a god comparable to Yao and Shun, which made the flute and standard flag suddenly wake up. The crickets and the palace guards fought together, and Long Bo took advantage of the chaos.
Gone are the saint and Yang Taizhen."
After listening to Qiu Zhang Jianqiong's words, Wang Jue thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Perhaps the robbery of the saint is also part of his plan?"
"How is it possible?" Qiu Zhang was shocked and unknowingly raised his voice: "The emperor's authority is ten steps away and within ten thousand miles. When he is approached by the flute and the instrument, he is no different from ordinary people. How can he resist it?
With a sword and a body? He doesn't have to go into danger just to test the prince and Li Linfu."
Wang Jue twirled his beard: "That means he is out of control. We must find a way to rescue him."
An Lushan suddenly spoke: "When I was taking a bath in the Hot Spring Palace today, I already persuaded Li Siye, who was under Fumeng Lingcha's command, to come forward to rescue the saint. We hid behind it, so that we would neither attract the prince's attention nor the prince's attention.
Let Li Linfu notice that the three of us have formed an alliance."
"Very good, Fatty An. In the end, we have to give the saint an explanation. Find out the people behind the scenes and don't falsely accuse innocent others. The most important thing is that after the saint has experienced this, he will be able to understand the officialdom of Chang'an City.
What kind of people are there, it can also make him rely more on us, the governors of border towns, but it is a pity that the path of border generals to become prime ministers is blocked, you and I need to work harder."
Qiu Zhang Jianqiong said again: "As for the person who plotted to kill the saint this time, I think the person who is interested in the high position is suspicious."
"Don't believe in the suspicion of those who are interested in profit. This sentence itself is a trap. Those who plan this matter can easily use this sentence to make a big fuss. Therefore, the top priority is to save the saint. You and I leave here and monitor the movements at any time. Don't
Let people from the two parties, the prince and the right prime minister, find out."
"Here."
…
Dai Wang walked into the connector's yard. Long Bo glanced at him and asked, "Is the trouble solved? Who caught up with us?"
He turned his gaze elsewhere, nodded and said, "He was shot dead in the secret passage. He was an officer of the Longwu Forbidden Army."
Long Bo did not doubt that he was there and ordered: "Go in and keep an eye on the emperor, and then take him to Daji Winery when the time is right."
Dai Wang stepped into the room and stood against the wall, looking down at Li Longji and Yang Taizhen who were squatting on the ground. The emperor was disheveled and decadent like a bad old man. Yang Taizhen was not panicked at all. This woman who lived in the deep palace impressed him.
I admire you very much.
It turns out that Zhang Xiaojing also wanted to save the emperor, but he didn't know that he had changed his position. Naturally, he couldn't act rashly when information was not flowing smoothly.
Li Siye stood in the shadow of the winding alley and saw Dai Wang walking into it. He immediately walked out of the shadow and went to Wuhou Pu, but there was only one Wuhou on duty in the shop.
He immediately took out the fish talisman from his waist and said: "I am the prince, and I suspect that someone in your house is hiding the murderer who sneaked into the lantern tower."
Wu Hou did not dare to neglect, and immediately crossed his hands and said: "Whatever you need me to do, please give me your instructions."
He led Wu Hou to the entrance of the street, pointed to the yard not far away and told him: "First go and knock on the door to see if there is anything unusual in the yard, and then go to the street to find Jinwu Guards."
soldiers."
Marquis Wu asked suspiciously: "Since the superior officer already knew that the thief was hiding there, why did he ask me to go and alert the enemy? Wouldn't it be better to just go to the street and call the Jinwu Guards?"
"Nonsense, there are our undercover agents inside. If you directly bring in reinforcements, wouldn't it make the leader of the thieves suspect that there is a mole among them? Go quickly!"
