Datang Nongwang

Chapter 826
"Xiao Langjun, will something happen in the city? This is already the sixth sky lantern." Half a quarter of an hour later, when the sixth sky lantern floated over Chang'an City, Xing Ba pointed at the new sky lantern floating up. The anxious voice said.

at the same time.

Liao Xian and the others looked nervously at the sixth sky lantern.

Everyone was unclear, and they were expecting an answer from Li Chongyuan that would make them feel at ease.

but.

Li Chongyuan was also a little confused at the moment.

The appearance of the sixth sky lantern means that the release of sky lanterns in Chang'an City does not mean who is celebrating his birthday, nor does it mean that someone has passed away.

Li Chongyuan is also a little more worried at this moment, worried about something happening in Chang'an City, "I don't know. However, today is not an important day. Logically speaking, there will not be more than five sky lanterns. But now , is already the sixth one, did something really happen?"

"Xiao Langjun, do you think there will be a mistake, that's why the sixth sky lantern was released?" Zhu Ni guessed, but there was still tension on his face.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "I don't know. Xingba, take someone to the gate of the city to have a look, shout to the city, and ask about the situation."

Li Chongyuan didn't know what to do, so he could only send Xingba and others to the gate of the city to inquire about the situation.

If something happened in Chang'an City, Li Chongyuan would not be able to deal with himself.

At least.

If there is going to be trouble, Li Chongyuan is most worried about his family.

Xingba received his orders, got off the boat with dozens of guards, and ran towards Chunming Gate, the east gate of Chang'an City.

Just when Li Chongyuan let Xing Ba and the others go to ask about the situation, several sky lanterns floated above Chang'an City again.

When Xingba and the others were about to reach Chunming Gate, there were twelve sky lanterns floating in the sky above Chang'an City.

After Li Chongyuan looked at the twelve sky lanterns floating in the sky above Chang'an City, he secretly guessed, 'Should there be no more?If there were sky lanterns again, something must have happened in Chang'an City.Hope there will be no more, hope there will be no more. '

Li Chongyuan, who comforted himself, hoped that there would be no more No. 13 sky lanterns floating over Chang'an City.

At least.

Even if today is not an important day, twelve sky lanterns are released, which is enough to show that there is no chaos in Chang'an City.

at this time.

Not far from Chunming Gate, and far away, many common people, merchants and others who had not rushed back to Chang'an City in time had already stopped.

These people, like Li Chongyuan and the others, also stood outside the city, watching the sky lanterns floating above Chang'an City.

Of course, the voices of discussion were like Li Chongyuan and the others, guessing whether something happened in Chang'an City.

"Look, there is no No. 13 sky lantern in the sky of Chang'an City. It seems that there is no chaos in Chang'an City, so don't worry." A commoner watched the sky above Chang'an City for a long time, but No. 13 was never seen. After a sky lantern appeared in the sky, he pointed to the sky and shouted.

In his shout, there was excitement and relaxation.

After hearing the sound, all the people and tourists counted the sky lanterns floating in the sky.

After they found out that there were really only twelve sky lanterns, their nervous hearts seemed to relax at this moment, and they all let out a sigh of relief.

now.

When Xingba and the others rushed under the Chunming Gate, they heard the voices of the people behind them, raised their heads and looked towards the sky.

However, because of the city wall, they couldn't see all the sky lanterns, so they had to step back a lot to see them all.

A guard said: "Xingba, there are only twelve sky lanterns in the sky, so the city should be fine, right?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Xiao Lang asked us to ask the guard at the city gate, so let's ask by the way." After Xing Ba replied, he went back to Chunming Gate.

After a while.

Xingba led the crowd back to the Chunming gate.

At this time, the guards above the city had already noticed them.

Before they could enter within thirty feet of Chunming Gate, the top of the city had already let go of their words, "Stop coming! If you dare to advance without authorization, you will be shot!"

"I came to Wei Xingba in the Wangfu of Xisha County. I dare to ask what happened in Chang'an City today and why twelve sky lanterns were set up. As far as I know, today is not an important festival. Why is it so?" Of course Xingba stopped. , and shouted loudly towards the top of the city.

Xingba and the others certainly understand that the gates of Chang'an City are not allowed to enter within [-] zhang after they are closed.

For example, in wartime, no one is allowed to enter within fifty feet.

Otherwise, it would be blood splattered on the spot.

After hearing the words, the guard on the top of the city looked down the city, and said loudly: "You are the inner guard of Xisha County Prince's Mansion, so you should not enter after the city gate is closed, please return."

"The King of Xisha County of my family has returned to Chang'an, and is now at the Bashui Wharf. Because the city gate was closed when he rushed back, he was about to rest at the wharf, but he saw a sky lantern rising above Chang'an City, so he sent me to ask about it, please. The general told the reason, so that I can repay my county king." Xing Ba led the crowd back and continued to shout.

When the guard on the top of the city heard Xingba said that the King of Xisha County had returned, a golden light flashed in his eyes at first, and then he replied: "Today is Princess Jinyang's birthday, the Holy Majesty is celebrating Princess Jinyang's birthday, so I set off twelve sky lanterns. King Li has already returned, if it is convenient, please inform King Li to come and have a look, so that I can report to the peak, open the city gate, and let King Li go back to the city."

Xing Ba got the answer he wanted, and immediately felt relieved.

"Okay, then I'll go and report back to my county king." After replying, Xing Ba led the guards back to Bashui Wharf.

For a moment.

Xingba returned to the ship and relayed the words of the guard on the top of the city to Li Chongyuan.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan felt relieved, but he was also surprised, "Even if it's Sizi's birthday, it's understandable to put up the twelve sky lanterns. But a city gate guard said that he can let me enter the city, which confuses me." So there it is."

"Xiao Langjun, according to the city defense regulations, let alone Xiao Langjun, even if the prince is out, after the city gate is closed, he can't just open the city gate and enter the city. The guard wants Xiao Langjun to go and have a look. Could this be fraudulent?" Gossip.

Li Chongyuan looked in the direction of Chang'an City, waved his hands and said, "I, Li Chongyuan, have to go if they let me go. Besides, it's very late at night, even though there is a moon in the sky, you can see it clearly with a torch." Who. But if I get to the city, if these people just find an excuse to say that I am a bandit who broke into the city gate, then I will die if I don’t. If I don’t go, whoever he is, what can he do, there must be There are articles."

After thinking about it carefully, Li Chongyuan also agreed with Xingba's words.

There are regulations on city defense. After the curfew, no one is allowed to open the city gate without authorization.

Unless the emperor comes in person and orders from him, the city gate can only be opened.

And on this night, a city gate guard asked Li Chongyuan to go over and recognize his face, saying that he could let Li Chongyuan enter the city.

In this case, Li Chongyuan would not believe it.

Li Chongyuan regretted his life.

At this time, it is even more life-threatening.

After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, everyone nodded, thinking that this was the most appropriate way.

If you don't go, nothing will happen.

"Xiao Langjun, I forgot to ask who that person is just now, how about I go back and have a look?" Xing Ba asked cautiously as he recalled his ignorance.

Li Chongyuan waved his hand again, "No need. It's just a guard. Even if you don't know who it is now, if you enter the city tomorrow, ask my brothers and you will know who it is."

It's just a small city gate guard. It's not easy to find out who he is.

Li Chongyuan and the others stood on the deck, looking at the several sky lanterns floating above Chang'an City, each thinking in their hearts.

At the same time, everyone was also guessing who the guard was and why he said such things.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan didn't care. After standing for a while, he went back to the boat cabin and went to sleep.

And this time.

Inside the city of Chang'an, the guard of the Chunming Gate waited and waited for Li Chongyuan to come, he was very puzzled, "Why isn't the Prince Li coming? Does he think that I dare not let him enter the city?"

After waiting for half an hour, he still did not see Li Chongyuan coming.

Confused, he came to stand on the top of the city again, looking towards the direction of Bashui Wharf under the moonlight.

now.

A general in armor and a dozen of his own soldiers came to the top of the Chunming Gate, "Where's Li Chongyuan?"

"Go back to the general, but no one has come." Seeing his top, Shangfeng approaching, the guard hurriedly turned around and said.

The general looked down the city, and there was no one in sight, "Forget it, this bastard is afraid that someone will harm him, so he dare not come. Forget it, it won't be too late to see him tomorrow morning."

"General, what happened?" the guard asked.

The general said: "Whether that thing will be done or not will depend on the intention of that bastard. However, no matter what, this matter must be done. If this bastard refuses to agree, see if I, Old Cheng, beat his ass." Can't bloom."

After the general heard the words, as if he had taken a reassurance, he cupped his fists and thanked: "With the general here, we are blessed."

The general called himself Lao Cheng, and he knew that this person was Cheng Yaojin.

Who can call himself Lao Cheng and be a great general, but who else is he?

but.

From the conversation between the two of them, there was no meaning to be heard.

At dawn.

Li Chongyuan woke up early, washed up, and got off the boat under the protection of Tang Li and others.

"Liao Xian, bring some people to guard the boat. Xingba, I will give you three months off. You can go home and reunite with your family first. This is what I promised you at the beginning." After getting off the boat, Li Chongyuan turned to Everyone ordered.

After Xingba got the words, he bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang. After Mr. Xiaolang returns to the mansion, I will go home again."

Li Chongyuan smiled and nodded.

A group of dozens of people walked towards Chunming Gate, and many people on the road were entering the city one by one.

And this time.

Outside the Chunming Gate, Cheng Yaojin brought a lot of people there, and they were there early, looking forward to the direction of Bashui Wharf.

"Father, when I meet Shande, he won't refuse to agree." Standing behind Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chumo looked to see if there was Li Chongyuan among the people entering the city, and said to his father.

Cheng Yaojin spat, "He dares. If he doesn't agree, I'll beat him to the teeth."

After Cheng Chumo heard the words, he shrank his neck, recalling in his mind the scene where he was beaten up by his father in front of him.

Cheng Yaojin waited for Li Chongyuan at the gate of the city with people early in the morning.

This is not like Cheng Yaojin's style at all.

It is said that Cheng's family style can be said to be unprofitable.

Those who are familiar with Cheng's family style must know this.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Chongyuan led the crowd to two hundred zhang away from Chunming Gate. From a long distance, he saw a group of people standing outside Chunming Gate, surrounded by many guards. One could tell at a glance that this group of people was absolutely invincible. Not ordinary people.

After getting closer.

Li Chongyuan found that Cheng Yaojin stood out from the crowd, and even Cheng Chumo stood out like his father.

Strange, why did Cheng Yaojin bring his son to wait at the gate of the city today?Are you waiting for someone? '

Li Chongyuan walked forward with doubts.

At this time, Cheng Chumo's looking eyes had already spotted Li Chongyuan's figure, and he rushed out with a stride, "Haha, Shande, you made my brother and I wait so long."

"Huh? Wait for me?" Li Chongyuan was patted on the shoulder by Cheng Chumo who rushed forward, and the loud voice was a little confused.

Cheng Chumo didn't wear armor, nor did he hold a knife.

If Cheng Chumo charged at Li Chongyuan with a saber in hand, Tang Li might be able to send him flying with a single palm.

Tang Li didn't care about Cheng Chumo's relationship with Li Chongyuan when he rushed forward so suddenly, as long as he charged forward with a knife, Tang Li would never let him get close to Li Chongyuan.

Cheng Chumo patted Li Chongyuan's shoulder for a few times, pretending to be pitiful and said: "Shande, look at my eyes, brother, are they black and swollen? I got up before dawn and came to this city with my father." I'm waiting for you at the door, you have to make up for my brother and me."

"Chu Mo, you have black eyes and swollen skin, but it has nothing to do with you getting up early or not waiting for me. I remember that all your brothers are like this. Don't make any compensation to me." Li Chongyuan's shoulder hurt a little from being patted by Cheng Chumo, so he quickly pulled away and took a few steps back, away from this guy.

As far as Cheng Chumo said that his eyes were dark and swollen, if he met someone who didn't see Cheng's family often, he might be tricked by Cheng Chumo's words.

As far as the Cheng family is concerned, up to Cheng Yaojin, down to his sons, none of them have black and swollen eyes.

Cheng Chumo was exposed by Li Chongyuan, and immediately covered it with a smile, approached Li Chongyuan again, picked up Li Chongyuan and walked forward, while walking, he said: "Shande, we are brothers, you will be offended if you say that."

Li Chongyuan was seized by this guy so hard that he couldn't get away, and he suspected that something was wrong with the Cheng family.

Moreover, this matter is not trivial.

Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would not have stood outside the city gate early in the morning waiting for someone, except for Li Shimin, or some elders of his Cheng family, it is estimated that no one was on the list of people he could not wait for.

But now, Cheng Yaojin is here, Cheng Chumo is here, Cheng Chuliang is here, even the youngest of his family, Cheng Chubi is there, and even his several sons of Cheng Yaojin are there.

With such a big battle, Li Chongyuan really didn't understand why the Cheng family had to arrange such a big battle to welcome him.

Li Chongyuan was puzzled and wanted to get away, but he was hugged by Cheng Chumo, feeling a little helpless and helpless.
