"I also went to see Wei Zheng and his three friends at their house. They were not there either. They were not at home all night last night. They must have been with His Majesty."
Qin Qiong said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty must have left the imperial city."
"Furthermore, His Majesty was so eager to leave yesterday, and there was a reason for His Majesty and the others."
"But... Where can Your Majesty and the others go?"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were eager.
Li Jing took a deep breath, looked at a few people, and shook his head.
"have no idea."
"But! I guess, it is very likely that they are heading to the foot of Lishan Mountain."
Li Jing frowned and looked at the heavy snow outside the house with deep eyes: "Your Majesty, this is the only possibility for them."
"With such weather, there is no other place worthy of His Majesty leaving the Imperial City in person except at the foot of Mount Li."
"Hiss... let's go, gather the army and greet His Majesty!"
"However, we can't finish our trip. Yaojin and I will go while the others guard Chang'an City to maintain order and wait for our return."
Li Jing gave the order directly.
At this time, the matter was urgent and he did not hesitate.
At this moment, it also reflects the stability of Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty.
"yes!"
"good!"
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others also had no objections to this.
Your Majesty has had an accident. Chang'an City must not be in chaos!
But just when Li Jing's voice fell, Cheng Chumo rushed in in a hurry.
Looks flustered!
His face is lifeless!
"It's not good, it's not good!"
"Dad, Uncle Li, Uncle Qin, there are many people outside blocking our door. No one is allowed to go out, otherwise, we will kill without mercy!"
Cheng Chumo shouted loudly.
"What! His grandma's! Who is so blind? I want to take out their intestines!"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's already extremely anxious mood suddenly exploded.
At this time, how dare you blockade Cheng Guogong's mansion!
who is it?
Eat the bear's heart and the leopard's courage! !
Yuchi Jingde also stared, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.
However, he was caught directly by Li Jing.
"You two, don't be impulsive."
"Ordinary people wouldn't dare to do this. His Majesty is not here at this time, so I'm afraid... I'll be in trouble."
Li Jing's eyes were gloomy: "Let's go and have a look at the door!"
Qin Qiong's eyes were also shocked, and his face looked very ugly.
His Majesty was missing and there was no news for the time being, but now the Duke's Mansion is blocked and they are not allowed to go out. What is going on?
rebel!
Two words jumped out directly from his mind!
Everyone walked in a hurry.
The gatekeeper rushed up and shouted at Cheng Yaojin.
"Sir, they sealed our door with wood from the outside."
"Master, what should we do?"
"Grandma, open the door! I'll smash it for Grandpa!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted.
But as soon as his voice fell, there was a sound coming from outside.
"General Cheng, just stay at home and don't force us to take action."
"We are following His Majesty's orders. Anyone who dares to step out of the mansion at this time will be shot to death with random arrows!"
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his anger suddenly surged in his heart.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty is not in Chang'an City now, how is this possible!"
"Bring out the imperial edict and let me see it!"
Immediately, there was laughter outside.
"Hahaha, General Cheng, no need to howl, if you dare to come out, you will be greeted by thousands of arrows piercing your heart!"
"It's better to save some energy. These are what His Majesty said."
"You... what are you going to do? Are you rebelling?" Yuchi Jingde yelled after hearing this.
"Your Majesty's order!"
The other party only gave them these four words.
"Trouble, the underground will never issue such an order, so... there is only one possibility."
"This so-called Majesty is not the real Majesty!"
"Someone wants to...someone wants to usurp the throne!"
Li Jing's eyes narrowed sharply, and his voice was trembling.
Damn it!
Even though he was the military god of the Tang Dynasty and fought thousands of miles, he really never thought that someone would dare to rebel when Li Shimin was in his prime.
When Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the others heard this, they were even more stunned and froze on the spot.
rebellion!
Usurping the throne!
Who dares! !
"Who is it?" Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth.
"Who else could it be besides that one?" Li Jing's voice was low.
That one.
That one!
"It's King Wei! King Wei's brain is really filled with water. Grandma, pharmacist, what should we do now?"
"How about...break out?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
Li Jingyao shook his head.
"We are definitely a thorn in their side now. If we act rashly, the other party will really take action."
"They all dare to rebel. It's not difficult to kill a few of us. It's nothing."
"It's just that now they may have other things to do to just trap us for the time being."
"Wait, wait a minute, we have no other solution for the time being."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
He looked at the door.
The door has been boarded up with wood.
Except for this door, Li Jing believed that the entire mansion was surrounded.
If you go out rashly, you will only die!
"But……."
Cheng Yaojin was in a hurry.
"No but, I think they were afraid of something, so they didn't kill us. Just wait quietly now and don't let them jump over the wall in a hurry."
Qin Qiong exhaled forcefully.
"Listen to the pharmacist."
"At this time, we must not mess up our position. They are so anxious, which means that His Majesty should be fine. As long as His Majesty is fine, what if this position is taken away by him?"
Qin Qiong said.
Li Jing nodded.
"Yes, wait for your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
Li Jing said slowly.
His hand clenched the sword tightly.
.
……….………….
Chang'an.
Imperial City.
Li Tai, led by Wei Ting, the head of the Li family in Longxi, and others, rushed directly into the Zhuque Gate, and then went straight to Li Yuan's residence.
Time is urgent.
They must not be allowed to waste a single minute.
The eunuchs and maids in the imperial city still didn't know what happened.
But seeing Li Tai wearing a dragon robe and looking anxious, what did they dare to say?
All he could do was kneel on both sides, shivering.
The Jinwu Guards who were responsible for protecting the imperial city wanted to defend, but they were leaderless and didn't know what to do.
Li Shimin is not here.
Li Junxian was seriously injured and still unconscious.
Not to mention that because Li Shimin left in a hurry last night, many Jinwu guards were transferred from the imperial city.
Therefore, the current defense of the imperial city cannot withstand the people of the world at all.
Helpless, he could only watch as Li Tai rushed straight to Li Yuan's residence.
Li Yuan was sitting on a stool, covered with thick mink fur.
"Grandpa Huang, I'm here to save you."
"You have suffered so much these years, and you still ask Grandpa Huang to follow me to Luoyang to re-establish peace in the world!"
Li Tai knelt down and shouted.
"Your Majesty, please come with us to Luoyang."
"The Supreme Emperor, please! Time is running out. The traitors have been executed by us. The people of the world are waiting for the news that the Supreme Emperor is safe!"
"……."
Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and the head of the Li family in Longxi also said this one after another.
Li Yuan looked at them.
There was indifference in his turbid eyes.
Neither happy nor sad.
Calm and quiet.
He just stared at Li Tai, motionless.
He has experienced hundreds of battles, and he is also a person who has experienced the Xuanwu Sect. He can only say that he is very disdainful for the methods of people like Li Tai.
Looking at the looks of this group of people, one knew that Erlang was definitely not dead.
Hehehe…….
Compared with Erlang, Li Tai is really much younger.
However, Li Yuan had to say with emotion that his old Li family was full of talented people.
First the son usurped the throne, and then the grandson took over.
Grandma’s!
Fortunately, the eldest grandson Li Chengqian has not been in the palace recently, otherwise he might have seen blood.
this…….
Seriously...
Li Yuan was speechless.
Seeing that Li Yuan was still silent, Li Tai became a little anxious. He stood up and waved his hands fiercely, trying to force Li Yuan to be carried out.
"No need, I will leave on my own."
Li Yuan stood up slowly and spoke to Li Tai.
Li Tai was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly helped Li Yuan, looking like a good baby, but walking very fast.
It can be said that he dragged Li Yuan out.
We must return to Luoyang quickly!
This is the only thought in his mind!
He knew that only by returning to Luoyang could he be truly safe.
The heads of the Li family in Longxi, Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu, followed closely behind them. With their family guards, they got into the carriage directly and rushed out regardless of the snow.
All the palace maids and guards in the Imperial City looked at this scene with shocked expressions, even more fear in their hearts, and their heads lowered even further.
After leaving the imperial city, they rushed all the way to Luoyang.
At the same time, the direct bloodlines of the major families in Chang'an also became nervous and busy, dragging their families and families together to rush to Luoyang.
There was a lot of movement.
The people were deceived.
What's happening here?
Is this rebellion or escape?
Looking at them like this, can it be said that His Majesty is safe?
It must be!
In this way, the corpses outside Chang'an City can also be revealed. They are all members of the Shi clan. Last night, the Shi clan must have wanted to intercept and kill His Majesty, but His Majesty escaped.
Oh My God!
When this fact emerged, the people's brains became even more short-circuited.
"How many Jin Wu guards did your Majesty bring yesterday? Under such circumstances, can you wipe out all the dead warriors of the family?"
"Damn it, no! With such fighting power, the world dares to rebel? Have their brains been kicked by a donkey?"
"Who knows, but they took the Supreme Emperor away with them to compete with His Majesty."
"If you have a Supreme Emperor, you have a legitimate status. After all... After all, His Majesty's position doesn't come with much glory, does it?"
"The family is going to completely rebel and stop pretending. Hey, I don't know where your Majesty is now."
"Then who knows? I hope your Majesty and the Queen will come back quickly. What is this?"
"……."
The people in Chang'an City were talking a lot.
They were watching everything happening in the city, feeling really confused and helpless.
The royal family of the Tang Dynasty rebelled again...!
Moreover, His Highness the King of Wei also abandoned Chang'an and looked like he had fled to Luoyang.
I really don’t know what is going on in this world.
….………….…….
And at this moment.
Li Shimin, Queen Changsun and Changsun Wuji have arrived in front of the Chu King's Courtyard at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
Under Duan Tianya's protection, almost no accidents happened again.
Li Shimin looked at the scenery in front of him.
Not only him, but Empress Changsun and others were all shocked.
The King of Chu's Courtyard in Lishan looks like it's not in the human world.
It also seemed to be out of the realm of the human world.
It also seems to be free from the constraints of the human world.
Everything around him was buried beneath the snow.
But the Chu King's Courtyard was like the only pure land between heaven and earth. Not a single piece of snow could be seen inside.
"hiss……."
"It's the same here as in the Prince Chu's Mansion in Chang'an City!"
Changsun Wuji took a breath and said softly.
"Could it be... Is the snow here also melted with salt?"
Wei Zheng guessed.
"If that's the case, here...how much salt was used here?"
Du Ruhui was slightly shocked.
Li Shimin pursed his chapped lips.
After walking for a day and a night, he really couldn't hold it any longer.
"Let's talk after we go in."
He shouted lowly and walked over directly.
Now the sun is setting again.
hunger!
cold!
fatigue!
Everything was sweeping over him.
Even Li Shimin could hardly hold on any longer.
Queen Changsun gritted her teeth. She was speechless at this time.
Still standing here is the greatest success.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also used the last bit of strength in their bodies to knock on the door.
Squeak.
Along with this sound, the people inside came out.
"Your Majesty, oh, Your Majesty, please come in quickly."
"Why is Your Majesty here in this snowy day?"
The servants from King Chu's Courtyard shouted hurriedly.
Li Shimin looked at him and was stunned.
"Hurry up and help your majesty and the others go in."
"On this journey, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and all the Dukes are exhausted."
Duan Tianya ordered softly.
"yes!"
Immediately, the servant hurriedly supported Li Shimin and walked towards the yard while shouting greetings.
I have to say that the journey is much easier after entering the King of Chu Courtyard.
After all, there was no snow at all in the yard.
Walking was as easy as usual.
Li Shimin also let out a heavy breath.
He glanced at Empress Changsun worriedly, and immediately ordered: "Find a room, light the charcoal, and let us have a good rest."
"This body feels like it's going to be stiff."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. There is a greenhouse here, which is where His Highness usually lives in the winter. It's better to go there first."
The servant quickly answered.
At the same time, on the road, two maids came over in a hurry and helped Empress Changsun.
"You two, wait for the Queen to go to the hot spring room."
"Let the Queen take a good rest first."
"Your Majesty, I wonder if this arrangement is appropriate?"
This person looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded.
This is the Courtyard of the King of Chu. Only when you get here can you feel truly safe.
Although Li Shimin didn't know the real details of this courtyard, he always felt that this place was much safer than the Imperial City with so many Jinwu guards protecting it.
The two maids supported Queen Changsun and left.
Queen Changsun didn't resist, she really couldn't hold it any longer.
