Li Xuan took a slight breath, and her face instantly calmed down.
Although he had experience under Qiu Shenji, he was not close to him, but he did not know that Qiu Shenji was the one who forced Li Xian to commit suicide.
Qiu Zhenmu was a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty and the nephew of Qiu Shenji. Li Xuan felt pity for him for a while.
But since he can be evaluated as a loyal minister by this reminder entry, it seems that he can get close to him in the future, and maybe he can save Li Xian's life.
This entry is still useful and may help him gain a foothold in the government in the future.
At this moment, a Qianniu guard came over with a strange look on his face, approached Qiu Zhenmu, and whispered a few words.
Qiu Zhenmu's brows jumped instantly, and she subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man in blue robe on the left side of the ancient temple who was surrounded by everyone. The other person looked at them calmly.
Li Xuan noticed Qiu Zhenmu's movements, and it seemed that his men also noticed the prime minister's family on the east side.
Qiu Zhenmu nodded to Li Xuan, and then walked quickly to the other side, towards the middle-aged man wearing a blue silk and willow pattern robe on the other side.
Qiu Zhenmu directly handed over his hand: "I have met Chao Yilang, but I never thought that I would meet Chao Yilang here tonight. Due to the responsibilities of my job, I may offend you. Please forgive me."
Chaoyilang is a casual official in the middle of the court. It is above the sixth rank. He has an official title but no job. The son of the prime minister, a sixth-rank casual official Chaoyilang, is still a bit low.
There was a soft smile on the calm face of the middle-aged Chao Yilang: "General, you are so polite. I left a step late due to something. I didn't expect that there was a sudden rain and I was trapped here. It is also a blessing to meet the general." . I wonder if I can take the liberty to ask, what happened that made the general come to visit in the rain like this?"
"This?" Qiu Zhenmu had a look of embarrassment on his face. As for the reason for tonight's incident, even Li Xuan, who was half of his colleagues, was unwilling to say more. However, facing the prime minister's son, he still hesitated. : "Even if I don't say anything about this matter, Lang Jun will naturally know the ins and outs of the matter after arriving in the capital of the gods."
Under the flickering firelight, Qiu Zhenmu turned his head slightly, glanced over Li Xuan's body, nodded slightly, and then whispered, "Just a few days ago, the whole family of the Luoyang County captain was killed. Of the three, no one was spared."
Li Xuan, who was listening on the side, immediately stared straight-eyed, with a look of astonishment on his face!
What time is it now? The prince died of illness. Chang'an, Luoyang, and the east and west capitals were under martial law, even if they were not completely under martial law.
At this particularly sensitive moment, all the Luoyang county captains were killed. What kind of turmoil will this cause?
It’s no wonder that Qianniu Guards like Qiu Zhenmu have to search all night long. I’m afraid it’s not just him, but the entire divine city of Luoyang, most of the Qianniu Guards, Jinwu Guards, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai, Luozhou The governor's office and Luoyang County may all be in action.
"I'm being presumptuous." Chao Yilang took a step back, earnestly handed over his hands, and stepped aside: "Please check carefully,"
"You're welcome, Mr. Lang." Qiu Zhenmu smiled reluctantly, and quickly took a step back: "Lang Jun came all the way from Bianzhou, so there is no way he would be related to this matter, not to mention the ability of all the guards. Easily sneaked in. Please!”
Whether it is Li Xuan or Qiu Zhenmu, they all have a pair of sharp eyes. Almost all of the guards at Chaoyi Lang's home are retired soldiers from the army. They have been fighting in the army for who knows how many years. Those who come down will not allow others to sneak in easily.
What's more, there are only a few of them. Although there are two carriages, they have been opened just now and can be seen through at a glance. The hidden compartments have also been opened. There is no such thing as being infiltrated. There is no need to do more. strict investigation.
What's more, the other party's identity would not allow him to do such a thing. It's not that he doesn't dare, it's that he is disdainful and unnecessary.
Qiu Zhenmu nodded slightly and turned to check his men to check the business trip on the other side.
Under the shadow of the fire, Li Xuan saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help but frown. Thinking about it carefully, he still had something wrong.
Even if everyone in the Luoyang County Lieutenant's family was killed, and even if the time is sensitive now, there will naturally be a certain order of arrests for those who should be hunted. How could a group of Qianniu Guards be searched in the rain desperately...
I'm afraid there are more unknown weirdness behind this matter.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately stopped his thoughts. This time he came to Luoyang, the capital of gods, and the most important thing was to deliver the secret medicine in the box to Zhenguan Palace.
Everything else has nothing to do with him. After getting an official position, it is better to leave Luoyang as soon as possible.
As a clan member surnamed Li, it is not a good thing to always hang out under Wu Zetian's nose.
Sitting back by the fire, Li Xuan began to wipe the rain off the wooden box.
Looking at the label "Loyal Minister" on Qiu Zhenmu's head, and the label "Prime Minister's Daughter, can be teased" on the head of the girl in green, Li Xuan felt a little confused.
At this time, this group of Qianniu Guards had already conducted the most severe search on the group of merchants, and all the goods they carried were turned over.
Everyone in the entire ancient temple was carefully checked by Qian Niuwei.
Even the top and bottom of the statue, inside and outside, were carefully knocked on.
After finally confirming that there was no problem, Qiu Zhenmu waved his hand, and all the Qianniu Guards gathered together and mounted their horses.
Qiu Zhenmu bowed her hands to Li Xuan and Chao Yilang, the son of the prime minister, and rode away with everyone in the rain, seemingly intending to continue searching elsewhere.
Li Xuan's ears twitched and she subconsciously looked outside. It seemed that not all of these people had left, and there were still people staring at this place.
Li Xuan's face became solemn again. The Luoyang County Captain was executed by everyone. Who was involved and what was involved, so that the Qianniu Guards, who were the emperor's personal guards, had to search in all directions in the rain all night, and still Keep an eye on everyone.
Turning his head, Li Xuan subconsciously looked at the prime minister's son. At this time, the prime minister's son happened to also look at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan slightly cupped his hands and had no intention of coming forward to talk. It was indeed not suitable for him to go up and talk to others casually at this time.
The Chao Yilang opposite was only slightly polite. After saying hello, he sat back in the center of his own guard.
At the same time, he also whispered to the many guards to be careful. Things tonight were not that simple.
…
Outside the ancient temple, heavy downpours were still falling, as if after early summer, God was going to pour out all his anger.
Li Xuan sat calmly on the ground. She didn't know when there was a book in her hand. Looking from the side, it was a copy of "Laozi".
"Laozi" is also called "The Tao Te Ching", but most people at that time called it "Laozi".
The "Laozi" in Li Xuan's hand is no different from other books on the market, except that some special words are deliberately circled.
For example, the word "ke" and the word "chang" in "Tao can be said, but it is not Tao" are deliberately circled.
In addition, there are many words that are also circled and seem to have deep meanings.
…
Youyouran, I don’t know how long it took, the heavy rain that was originally all over the sky slowly became gentle.
Li Xuan, who was sitting in front of the fire and reading quietly, suddenly raised his head and looked at the door of the ancient temple.
Faintly, the sound of horse hooves sounded again.
Urgent, very urgent, as if something was urging me to die.
Li Xuan's brows tightened again, who was coming again.
Can't you spend this night peacefully?
Looking through the rain curtains on the eaves, one can clearly see the deep and dark night outside.
It should be past the ugly time at this time, but there are still people who are still awake.
"Dedede!" A crisp sound of horse hoofbeats finally came from the mountain road outside the ancient temple, and all the people in the ancient temple who had not yet fallen asleep were suddenly awakened.
Li Xuan put down "Laozi" in her hand and pressed the small box. The energy that had calmed down quickly circulated throughout her body again, and she looked at the door warily and doubtfully.
The guards of the prime minister's family on the left and the guards of the merchant traveler on the right held their hands on the handle of the knife at the same time, carefully guarding their master.
Chao Yilang fell asleep leaning against the wall and was not awakened.
Liu Jinyu and the maid had already gone inside the carriage to rest, and they didn't know whether they were awake or not.
At this moment, a black tall and strong horse galloped from the southeast and stopped in the abandoned compound outside the gate in the blink of an eye.
The horse stopped silently. On the horse's back was a girl in black wearing a black half-arm shirt with dark patterns. She had a graceful figure and a black gauze hat on her head.
On top of the bamboo hat, the girl's hair was tied into a bun. This turned out to be a Taoist female crown.
Under the night rain, the gauze completely covered her appearance, and her age could not be seen clearly. She could only vaguely see a pretty outline and a pair of indifferent eyes.
Li Xuan looked at her from a distance and felt a strange aura coming towards her face for no reason.
[Ye Wanwan, a holy girl from the Tianyin Sect, is unrivaled in beauty, a strange elf, with a perverse temperament, a seductive appearance, a vicious mind, and a murderous mind]
