The cart being dragged slowly moved eastward, slowly approaching Yanximen. Li Shan's head lowered, and the hands holding the cart were shaking unconsciously.
But before I had time to think more, a low voice came from my ears, "Let's go."
Li Shan held his breath and held the cart forward. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the Imperial Guards guarding Yanxi Gate were hiding far away. There were only two or three soldiers holding torches, but their heads were turned to the side.
The world is so strange. Pei Shiju spent so much effort, thought, and lies before he successfully lured Li Shan into the trap.
However, Li Shan's advance thoughts and laid ambush were not wasted. Not only did he successfully avoid the fatal knife, but he also found a way out that was bumpy and risky, but actually safe. Palace path, this may be something that no one can think of.
The key is two people. Er Zhuhuan's adventure made Li Shan leave Taiji Palace, and the last one was Fan Feng. Li Shan had been a chess piece in Chang'an for several years.
Except for Yanxi Gate, Li Shan's footsteps became much brisker. He looked up at the sky, which was still dark, and asked in a low voice: "Where are you going?"
"Golden Light Gate." Fan Feng said in a low voice: "Only the Golden Light Gate will be opened. The other city gates will not open until the curfew is lifted."
Li Shan nodded and stopped talking. He raised his head and looked forward. In front of him was Shengye Square. The gate of the square had opened, and two carts came out. Then the gate of the square closed again.
Two carts merged into the long queue. Each cart was pulled by manpower. Every few carts there would be a lantern for lighting. There were all kinds of huge wooden barrels on them, which were so shaky. People were worried, and the entire convoy began to smell bad.
By this time, they had already passed through Zhuquemen Street, and the queue started to chirp. Fan Feng, who was pulling the cart, whispered, "I feel wronged, Alang."
Li Shan smiled and shook his head. He really didn't care about this. When he was in the countryside in his previous life, he had to empty the toilet spittoon every day. It was really not aggrieved.
Yes, this team is the most unknown profession in Chang'an City, Ye Xianglang.
I work in the middle of the night every day, naturally without seeing the light of day.
Chang'an City is too big, and there are no sewer facilities in this era. As long as you are a human being, you have to eat, drink, and poop. These feces need to be transported out of Chang'an City by manpower every day, so the industry of Ye Xianglang was born.
And Fan Feng is a night fragrance man.
Li Shan was appointed to Daidi a few years ago. Fan Shiyi recommended Fan Feng to keep an eye on Feng Lun and Du Yan. At first, Fan Feng worked as a salesman, but because Feng Lun and Du Yan lived together in Yankangfang, they were high-ranking officials. The location is really inconvenient to get in and out.
And Feng Lun and Du Yan met again at night, and Chang'an City had a curfew except for the Lantern Festival, so Fan Feng later chose Ye Xianglang, who was unremarkable, but could walk at night and even left the workshop and the city... or he was specialized. Yokoro is in charge of Yankangfang.
In the past few years, although Feng Lun was cautious, with such eyes watching, many flaws were discovered by Fan Feng one after another, including Feng Lun's collusion with King Qi, and Feng Lun's relationship with Erzhu during the Renzhi Palace Incident. Huan's hooks all fell into Fan Feng's eyes, which helped Li Shan a lot.
It can be said that Fan Feng is Li Shan's deepest chess piece, playing the most critical role at the most critical moment.
At midnight every day, Ye Xianglang's figure appears in every corner of Chang'an City, and the Imperial City is inevitable. No matter how noble a person is, he still has to eat, drink, and defecate.
The night incense from the Tai Chi Palace will be sent to Yeting Palace, but the night incense from the East Palace cannot be sent to Yeting Palace. There is a Tai Chi Palace between them, and there is only Tongxun between the East Palace and Tai Chi Palace. Door this passage.
Therefore, the night incense in the East Palace was collected with the night incense in other parts of the imperial city and sent out to Chang'an in the early morning. After the Renzhi Palace Incident, Fan Feng took on such a job.
Among them, the night incense in the East Palace was transported by the palace attendants of each palace to the corner of Zuoyongfu Gate after nightfall. Then Ye Xianglang went inside and transported it to the car, and pulled it out of the East Palace from Changlin Gate... and Li Shan took this road.
Er Zhuhuan appeared around Zuo Jiashan Gate and Zuo Yongfu Gate. There were many people and it was still dark. He found an opportunity to communicate with Fan Feng. Li Shan quietly mingled in and left the East Palace without anyone noticing.
This way... Li Shan didn't know if Li Jiancheng and Pei Shiju could guess it, but he thought that they probably couldn't.
The Golden Gate is in front of him, and Li Shan is not too nervous. It is unlikely that the prince can control the Golden Gate, and even the East Palace cannot control the imperial city.
Li Shan thought to himself that he was lucky. Er Zhuhuan was not placed in the East Palace by himself, and Fan Feng also took up the job of transporting night incense from the East Palace.
But then I thought about it, Er Zhuhuan was able to take himself out of Taiji Palace and send him to the East Palace to escape danger, largely because he reported the incident at Renzhi Palace to Qiao Gongshan and gained Li Jiancheng's complete trust.
Fan Feng found such a job because he had to keep an eye on Feng Lun.
After all, the tricks I did, intentionally or unintentionally, saved my life on this crisis-ridden night.
The interrogation at Jinguang Gate was indeed not strict. Like the Forbidden Army, they refused to take a look and even turned away while covering their noses. In fact, Li Shan could also understand that the night fragrance in the entire Chang'an City passed through Jinguang Gate. Even he could not It's a bit unbearable.
The stench is overwhelming!
After leaving the Golden Light Gate, the tense Fan Feng relaxed and explained a few words to Li Shan in a low voice. The night fragrance in the imperial city and palace city is different from the night fragrance in ordinary people... Of course, the original products are the same, but Grass ashes were placed in the toilets of those nobles in advance, so they were covered and would not emit a strong stench. Ordinary people's night scents were all original, so they naturally smelled bad.
"How far is it?"
"It's not that far." Fan Feng whispered: "If I leave at this time, will it..."
Li Shan looked at the long queue. These Ye Xianglang probably didn't recognize him, but it was too conspicuous to slip away now. After thinking about it again, Li Shan whispered: "No hurry, no hurry."
How could you not be in a hurry?
Li Shancai came out of the tiger's mouth. He didn't know what was going on over there at Sun Moon Lake, what happened to Chai Shao, and what happened to Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, and Fan Tu. Moreover, according to Er Zhuhuan, Li Shimin was about to arrive in Chang'an today, so how could he not be in a hurry? ?
But Li Shan also knew that the more this happened, the less anxious he could be.
Before walking out of the Golden Light Gate, all Li Shan thought about was whether he could escape... Li Shan would not focus on other things until his life was not guaranteed and he would be in danger at any time.
But now that I am safe, there are some things that need to be considered, and they need to be considered clearly.
