The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1016
"This..." Zhang Xingcheng pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "That's right, two strong men, there are female relatives among us, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to rest at night. Let me see, can you give it to my young master?" It's convenient..."

As he spoke, Zhang Xingcheng took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Gao Yuan: "It's a small thing, it's not a respect."

"This..." Gao Yuan feigned embarrassment, and then pretended to have made up his mind, and agreed to Zhang Xingcheng's request: "In this way, there should be a utility room in the backyard, and we two brothers can just make do with it for the night in the backyard. "

"Thank you two strong men for your convenience." Zhang Xingcheng cupped his hands.

"When you're away from home, it's convenient to be with others. It should be." Gao Yuan continued to make false claims with Zhang Xingcheng.

Afterwards, Gao Yuan and Qin Zhan left the Daxiong Palace and went to the miscellaneous room in the backyard.

The degree of dilapidation of the miscellaneous room is worse than that of the Daxiong Palace. Naturally, Li Zhi and Princess Jin would not feel wronged to live in the miscellaneous room.

Gao Yuan walked in front, Qin Zhan followed behind, Gao Yuan's mouth was slightly raised, and no one saw it.

Li Zhi took Jin Wangfei into the Daxiong Palace, and the guards around him quickly began to arrange a resting place for the two of them. Only part of the carriage and ox cart were parked in the courtyard. The carriage stopped outside.

In the miscellaneous room, Qin Zhan looked at Gao Yuan.

"Mr. Gao, don't we have to look at them?" Qin Zhan asked.

"What are you looking at them for?" Gao Yuan smiled.

"Then... you..." Qin Zhan wanted to ask about the medicine.

"Don't worry, just wait and see." Qin Zhan said, knotting a water bottle from his waist: "Drink some water first, if not enough, go to the well to fetch some."

"In the well..." Qin Zhan couldn't understand, hadn't the well been drugged with perspiration?

"Mr. Gao, is the water in the well drinkable?" Qin Zhan couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, you can drink it, but if we don't drink it, how can they be relieved? Go ahead." Gao Yuan said, "By this time, they should fetch water to drink. Go and show them first. Do you listen to me?" wrong."

Qin Zhan nodded, maybe this Mr. Gao is carrying some kind of antidote on his body, the king of thieves, how can he be successful if he doesn't have anything special around him?
Qin Zhan came out with a kettle, just in time to see Li Zhi's guards in front of him carrying a bucket to the backyard, ready to fetch water.

Seeing Qin Zhan coming out with a kettle, the guard smiled and motioned Qin Zhan to fetch water first.

Qin Zhan didn't ink any ink, and walked directly to the side of the well, tied the kettle with a rope, put the kettle down, and lifted it up after it was filled with water.

He left the well with the kettle and returned to the miscellaneous room. Gao Yuan was lighting a fire in the miscellaneous room when he saw Qin Zhan come back.

"Sit down and rest for a while. At night, there is something to do." He said, motioning Qin Zhan to bring the kettle.

After taking the kettle, Gao Yuan directly put the kettle on the shelf of the fire, ready to drink the water after heating it up.

Qin Zhan couldn't understand Gao Yuan more and more, what was the way, there was no sweat medicine in the water, how could he bring down so many people in front of him.

"Well water is not the only thing that can do things." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't we still have a bucket in the hall? Did you see that I drank the water in it?"

"So it is." Qin Zhan suddenly realized.

The two of them waited in the miscellaneous room until around midnight, and then Gao Yuan came out of the miscellaneous room and sneaked into the Daxiong Palace.

The hall was quiet, Li Zhi and his accompanying people were already asleep, when he left the hall, Gao Yuan saw that the guards guarding outside and the accompanying coachman had also fallen asleep.

Back in the miscellaneous room, Gao Yuan asked Qin Zhan to go all out to inform the brothers hiding behind, ready to do something.

It's only the first watch now, and it's still far away from dawn. However, Gao Yuan is worried about the sweat medicine in the bucket. After all, the bucket has been used many times, and the dose of the sweat medicine will gradually weaken. If someone wakes up, That's troublesome.

"The movements are quicker." Qin Zhan told the brothers in the cottage to start driving away while telling them to be quick and not to make too much noise.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the carriages in the courtyard were taken out, and more than 100 people, carrying the belongings in Li Zhi's team, left towards Qinling. The chamber of commerce will deal with these vehicles and horses before transporting them to Minzhou. In this case, even if Li Zhi wakes up early in the morning, it will be impossible to track down the whereabouts of these things.

"Qin creditor, you will take these things with you brothers and return to the stockade immediately. Take a shortcut. I will go to Shangzhou and ask the people from the chamber of commerce to arrange some things to be delivered to the stockade, and then we will start from the stockade to Minzhou." Gao Yuan said.

"Okay." Qin Zhan responded.

It also takes time for the Chamber of Commerce to prepare things, so Gao Yuan rode a fast horse and galloped directly towards Shangzhou. Now it is time to race against time.

Early the next morning, Li Zhi opened his eyes and sat up, stretching himself.

I haven't slept so deeply and comfortably for a long time.

Looking at Princess Jin next to her, she was still sleeping soundly, Li Zhi didn't bother, it would not be too late to wake up the team after the team was tidied up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness is not well." A guard ran in from outside.

"What's the matter, you're in a panic." Li Zhi stood up, put on his coat, and walked to the entrance of the main hall. Seeing that the courtyard was quite empty, he thought that the guards had already led the chariots and horses out.

"Where are the carriages and horses in our yard?" Zhang Xingcheng also came out.

The guard swallowed and said, "Your Highness, all of our property has been stolen!"

"What!" Li Zhi and Zhang Xingcheng respectfully ran to the yard in a hurry to check the remaining carriages and horses, and found that there were some sundries on them, and the carriages and horses containing the goods were all gone.

"It must be those two people from yesterday!" Zhang Xingcheng said, and after speaking, he ran to the miscellaneous room in the backyard and found that Qin Zhan and Gao Yuan were no longer there.

"Bastard!" Li Zhi was furious: "Two people can't stand it, what use does the king want you to have!"

The guard bowed his head in silence, feeling puzzled in his heart.

This is not normal, with such a big commotion from other people in the middle of the night, it would be too dead for me to wait for others to sleep, right?

Zhang Xingcheng walked to Li Zhi's side, and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, those two people disappeared yesterday, they probably ran away."

"Two people? How did two people take away so many of our chariots and horses? There must be more people hiding in the dark. Who is targeting this king?" Li Zhi frowned, his face full of anger.

"Come on, go and search around vigorously to see if there are any clues." Zhang Xingcheng said.

"Yes." The guards next to him clapped their hands in response, and then dispersed to look around.
