Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a bright silver glow, but thick clouds moved in, covering the moon tightly, as if they did not want this ugliest scene in the world to be exposed to the moonlight.

Li Shan held his breath and hid behind a big tree, listening to the sound of footsteps trampling on the thick fallen leaves getting closer and closer.

"Come out."

Li Shan was nervous. He also wanted Pei Shiju and Li Jiancheng to come and investigate Anli Gate, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and that the people he sent could find his traces so quickly.

"Smells blood."

Li Shan regretted a little. He shouldn't have stabbed him. Now his clothes were still stained with large amounts of blood. Although he deliberately dipped in the Jinshui River, it was October after all, and he couldn't soak for too long. The smell Still can't dissipate.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the person came softly: "Huairen, it's my uncle."

Li Shan was not surprised. He had already heard from the voice that it was Er Zhuhuan, who slowly emerged from behind the big tree, and his gaze was filled with vigilance.

To be fair, Li Shan had a very good impression of Er Zhuhuan. This good impression came from a few months ago in Dongshan Temple. Er Zhuhuan followed his instructions without hesitation and helped him complete the mission of Renzhi without any danger. Gong Jiujia, which gave him a certain degree of trust in Er Zhuhuan.

And the reason why I noticed something strange today was because Er Zhuhuan suddenly appeared outside Ziwei Palace. However, Li Shan was a character who did not trust others very much in his previous life, and he remained wary of everyone.

Who knows what Er Zhuhuan is thinking?

Who knows if Er Zhuhuan will really join the prince. After all, he is now the prince's confidant, and his identity... As long as he, King Qin, Changsun Wuji and other staff are killed, no one will know.

Glory and wealth are at your fingertips, will Er Zhuhuan really not hesitate?

After being silent for a while, Er Zhuhuan smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that Li Huairen of Dongshan was good at understanding people, good at using people, and willing to entrust him with life and death. Therefore, there are countless loyal and brave people around him, and everyone is willing to die for him, but unexpectedly he is so hesitant today. "

Li Shan took a deep breath and said, "If my uncle kidnaps my nephew to Linhu Palace, my nephew will not complain."

"Pei Hongda is really a good trick. I don't know when he won over the supervisor of the palace." Er Zhuhuan pulled Li Shan's sleeves to the corner, "Now His Majesty is under house arrest in Shujing Palace, and most of the palaces are also under house arrest. Being taken over by the East Palace... I didn't know about today's move until Su Zhi went to summon you."

"My uncle is the prince's confidant..."

"But apart from the prince and Pei Shiju, only Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Xu Shimo knew the inside story." Er Zhuhuan explained: "Pei Shiju was afraid of the story of Qiao Gongshan... His Highness the King of Qin buried in the East Palace should not only be for his uncle and Two people from Qiao Gongshan."

Li Shan thought about it in his mind for a while. With his current situation, he had no other choice, so he asked the biggest doubt in his heart, "Why did the prince take action now?"

"The King of Qin is still in the army, how dare the prince take action?"

"Even if His Majesty is under house arrest and the King of Qin returns to his army, he will be defeated with one blow. What's the use?"

"It can't be that Pei Shiju forced the prince to rebel, right?"

Er Zhuhuan whispered: "The King of Qin should be returning to Beijing in the next two days."

"What?" Li Shan was shocked, "How is that possible?"

"I don't know the inside story, but Pei Shiju, the prince, and Wang Gui are obviously sure." Er Zhuhuan said softly: "Otherwise, how could the prince plot rebellion!"

Li Shan was a little unbelievable. The most unbelievable thing was that Li Yuan must have secretly ordered the King of Qin to return to the capital. Only in this case, Li Shimin would dress lightly and obey instead of returning to the capital with a large army, so that the East Palace would have a chance to succeed. Does the prince have such means?

It must be Pei Shiju!

Li Shan spat blood-streaked saliva, "My nephew is leaving the palace."

Seeing Er Zhuhuan's hesitant look, Li Shan gritted his teeth and said, "When my uncle leaves the palace and the capital tomorrow, he must intercept King Qin."

Er Zhuhuan looked deeply at Li Shan and said, "As my uncle, I am the prince's confidant. Once you disappear, the prince will tell you that he will be the governor. He will search for you in Taiji Palace. You may even be instigated by Pei Shiju and attack with the elites of Changlin Army and Tianjie Army." Sun Moon Lake.”

"Besides, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my uncle to leave the palace." Er Zhuhuan paused and added: "In the current situation, the prince will not let people leave the palace easily."

"Even if you send your close associates out of the palace, you can't protect them... They don't know that it was King Qin who sent your uncle to the secret room of the East Palace."

"Where's the third uncle?"

"Er Zhu Yichen is currently in the Changlin Army and is not aware of the palace change." Er Zhu Huan shook his head.

Li Shan racked his brains, "Qu Silang and Wang Junhao are still in the imperial city..."

"Wang Junkuo has already secretly invested in the East Palace." Er Zhuhuan continued to shake his head, "If he could not control the Bei Ya forbidden army, the prince would not rebel."

"Wang Junkuo?" Li Shan's teeth were broken. When he entered the palace, the man was still pretending to be waiting for him on Chengtianmen Street!

Li Shimin, do you know how to read people?

The only general who stayed in Chang'an turned out to be the crown prince... Is this a coincidence, or did Li Jiancheng or Pei Shiju do it deliberately?

Li Shan also figured it out. After all, Er Zhuhuan was willing to save his nephew if possible, but he was not willing to risk his life... Once he was discovered, the prince would definitely behead him.

"Then my nephew must leave the palace?"

Li Shan was now a widow and her son was dead. She had no hope and could only rely on her biological uncle, whom she had only met a few times.

"Either leave the palace, or my uncle kidnaps my nephew and sends him to Linhu Palace!"

Er Zhuhuan looked embarrassed, "Jiayou Gate is closed during the day, and Ganlu Hall is even more impossible. Xuanwu Gate is heavily guarded, and there is Changlin Army outside. Anli Gate is not far away, but the prince has sent Twenty people came with my uncle, and they also mobilized troops from Xuanwu Gate."

Li Shan took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and repeated in his mind... Whenever there are big things, be calm, and when there are big things, be calm.

After a while, Li Shancai said: "Uncle, send my nephew out of the palace... If the crown prince succeeds, my uncle will be able to enjoy glory and wealth. If the crown prince fails, the nephew can save his uncle's life!"

Er Zhuhuan's face changed slightly. It was obvious that Li Shan's words were on point. Whether the prince could succeed or not was something that no one could predict. As long as King Qin was not ambushed, the prince's defeat was almost certain.

After a while, Er Zhuhuan made up his mind to leave by himself... The risk was too great, but there was a chance of sending his nephew out. After all, he was now the prince's confidant.

Moreover, my nephew is my sister's only flesh and blood. If he dies here, I will not be able to feel at ease. Er Zhuhuan thought about it in his mind for a while, pointed to the south and said: "Go to Lingyan Pavilion and hide. There is usually no place there." Human.”

Seeing that Li Shan remained silent, Er Zhuhuan added: "There is a way to get you out of the palace."
