Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

"conclusive?"

"It's true." Fan Tu slumped on the bamboo couch exhaustedly, with his legs spread apart, looking extremely indecent.

There is no way, from dusk to now, it took almost six or seven hours to gallop all the way without changing horses, even the elite who are proficient in riding and shooting can't bear it anymore.

A month ago, Li Shan set off at noon, and it was about this time when he arrived at Sun Moon Lake. It is conceivable that Fan Tu was exhausted, and the inner sides of his legs were probably bloody.

"Take a few bites." Zhao Da came over with a bowl of porridge. "It's still dark, and now there's only this. The kitchen is making it."

Fan Tu swallowed a few mouthfuls on the rim of the bowl before adding: "I dare not check the strength of the troops, but I only saw dozens of them."

Li Shan nodded. Although the Juyuan Bridge was on the side of Saga Mountain, there would not be too many troops in ambush. Otherwise, on the one hand, the deployment of troops would easily arouse vigilance, and on the other hand, it would be impossible for Fan Tu to not notice anything.

Li Shan took a deep breath, "Has the news from Fan Shiyi come back?"

"not yet."

After Fan Tu rushed back to Sun Moon Lake, before Li Shan received the news, Fan Shiyi had already gone to inquire about the news in person. Since two days ago, Fan Shiyi had spread his hands out and stared at everywhere.

Intercepting the messenger is nothing more than cutting off the communication between Jingzhao and Renzhi Palace in a short period of time. In other words, the other side needs a short period of time. , not to edict, not to enter Chang'an, and not to leave Jingzhao without authorization.

Li Shan had arranged for people to keep an eye on Chang'an a long time ago. Now that the weather is cool and Chang'an is about to open the city gate, if Donggong or Pei Shiju were involved, it would be impossible not to act rashly.

"Aron."

Zhu Ba's voice came from outside the door, Li Shan pushed open the door and strode out, Liu Heier, Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, and Zhou Zhoulang were all ready, except for Zhang Zhongjian who was still leading the army, and Qi Lao San who was still in Renzhi Palace In addition to Hou Hongtao and Li Shan, the generals and schools under Li Shan's command have all gathered.

Outside the gate in the distance, dozens of personal guards stand like a mountain with swords, and a large number of ordnance, bows, and armor are being transported to the entrance of the village by young and strong like water.

"Ah Lang." Liu Hei'er's voice was slightly low, "The armaments, horses, and rations are all ready, and we are ready to leave at any time."

Li Shan showed a satisfied smile, and said with a smile: "This time, we must rely on Ah Hei's courage."

After a pause, Li Shanlang said in a loud voice: "Liu Heier will lead the whole army in this battle, no one shall disobey!"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"There was Su Dingfang, the Duke of Zhao, and Zhang Zhongjian, the Duke of Guangling County. Both of them look like famous generals." Li Shan stared at Liu Heier. disappointment."

Liu Hei'er prostrated herself on the ground, and said loudly, "I will live up to Alang's trust!"

Fan Shiyi, who did not know when he appeared, rushed over and whispered something in his ear, Li Shan nodded slightly, "Ready to leave."

If all the previous speculations were based on Li Shan's cognition of the original history mixed with the secret information of this life, then now he has confirmed that King Qi did it.

It couldn't be the East Palace. Pei Shiju didn't dare, and the prince didn't even dare. They didn't have the strength either. It was impossible for Yang Wengan's troops to break through the Renzhi Palace in a short time. It would be useless to intercept the messenger.

It can't be King Qin, if Li Shimin wants to do this kind of thing, he can't not tell himself... Especially when he returns to Beijing, Li Shan can't think of anyone who is more suitable to control Chang'an than himself.

Therefore, it can only be Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

The news brought by Fan Shiyi also proved this point, no matter whether it was Donggong, Pei Shiju, or Feng Lun, there was no movement.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Li Shan turned around and saw his mother Zhu Shi appearing at the courtyard gate, with Cui Shiniang supported by Zhang Shi beside her.

"Mother, the child will surely come back." Li Shan kowtowed to the ground, "but please take Mother Eleven and others to stay in Dongshan Temple temporarily."

"Okay." Zhu Shi sighed. These days, she thought and questioned repeatedly. Although she didn't know the specific details, she heard something. The choice of her son was largely due to Er Zhuhuan.

"Father once said that Mr. Lang is an extraordinary man, with a heroic spirit in his chest." Cui Shiniang broke away from Zhang's hand who was a little nervous, and stepped forward, "I will take care of the family as a concubine, please don't worry about your death."

"I am lucky to be alone in this life, and I have a good wife in my family." Li Shan held Cui Shiniang's hands, "Don't worry, I have prepared for it, and as expected, I will come back with a complete victory."

A moment later, the worried Zhu Shi, the smiling Cui Shiniang, and the somewhat ignorant Zhang Shi stood at the door, watching the heroic Li Shan get on his horse, and with a clear drink, urged the horse to ride in this cool place. Drive away in the morning.

At the entrance of the village, following the loud commands of Liu Heier and Wang Junhao, hundreds of war horses slowly drove out from the left and right passages, and slowly accelerated, like a torrent, rolling away to the north.

Although Mrs. Zhu has a strong temperament, she is not good at specific affairs. Cui Shiniang, regardless of her pregnancy, commanded the staff to transport the necessities up the mountain, and Dongshan Temple had already prepared them.

Zhu Wei organized dozens of young men, most of whom were veterans who had followed Li Shan on the battlefield, plus a dozen personal guards left by Li Shan, to guard Dongshan Temple together.

"Huiren discussed it with you?" After settled down, Mrs. Zhang dragged her daughter to sit down and asked in a low voice, "Ah Lang is not in danger, is he?"

This Alang naturally refers to Zhang's husband, Cui Xin who is still in Renzhi Palace.

"Mother, don't worry." Although Cui Shiniang was also a little worried, she was helpless. Although her husband chose to escape early, he rushed to Renzhi Palace at the most critical and dangerous time. What can she complain about?
What's more, Mr. Lang asked himself to go home twice before leaving for Renzhi Palace, implying that his father should not accompany him... Afterwards, Mr. Lang returned to the manor and wanted to bring his father back with him, but unfortunately he failed.

After several years of management by Li Shan, Dongshan Temple is no longer the appearance of a Buddhist temple. Except for the area of ​​Princess Nanyang, it is more like a stronghold than a temple.

The most important thing is of course the secret warehouse of Dongshan Temple. After resting for a while, Cui Shiniang was about to take a look, when there were hurried footsteps outside.

"Uncle Seven?"

Zhu Wei who rushed over had an ugly expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "It's Zhao Si's sister-in-law."

Cui Shiniang frowned slightly, "Is that the one named He?"

"The third brother of He Liu, Yuan Junzhang's sister-in-law, married Zhao Si's younger sister." Zhu Wei explained: "He Liu went to war with A Lang last year, and he is still in the Lingzhou Army. This person has an old relationship with Zhang Zhongjian. So he has been living in Zhuangzi all the time, after Yuan Junzhang moved to Chang'an, he was still in the Zhuangzi, just now he went out on the pretext of going to Dongshan Restaurant."

"Is someone watching?"

"Have."

"It should be him." Cui Shiniang sneered and said, "Don't worry about him, it has nothing to do with that side this time, we'll talk about it when you come back."

"it is good."

After Zhu Wei left, Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter with brand-new eyes. It seemed that after her daughter got married, the outer shell was washed away like a stone, revealing the warm jade quality and sharp corners.
