The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 479 Strange Things
Raising their whips and horses along the way, they didn't care about the Jinwu Guards on Zhuque Street. As for the people in Chang'an City, there are too many young men in brocade clothes and angry horses. Who is Xuan Shijing?

After leaving the Zhuque Gate, Xuan Shijing chased along the official road to the west. To the east was his Zhuangzi, and Xuan Shijing knew what was going on there. There was no place for Li Chengqian to play, and the rest was the west. It's the forest, where His Majesty Li Er will mobilize people to hunt every year during the Laba Festival.

After chasing along the official road for about a quarter of an hour, I found a team of nearly dozens of people ahead, and looked hard, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Chengqian?
Li Chengqian in the team carried a quiver on his back, a strong bow and a sword were hung on the side of the horse, and Li Chengqian himself was dressed in green clothes and soap boots, and dozens of people around him were all dressed in ordinary clothes.

Seeing someone, Xuan Shijing immediately galloped up to catch up.

The guards next to Li Chengqian heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, looked back and saw one person and one rider coming towards the team, and immediately drew out their long swords to be on guard.

Li Chengqian saw the tense expressions of the guards around him, so he couldn't help but stop his horse and look behind.

"Little Jing?" Li Chengqian saw that the person chasing up on horseback was Xuan Shijing. Seeing that it was Xuan Shijing, Li Chengqian said to the guards beside him, "Put down the knife, it's the Marquis of Dongshan."

"Woo~~~~" Xuan Shijing reined in when he reached the side of Li Chengqian's team.

"Little Jing, why are you here?" Seeing Xuan Shijing in such a hurry, Li Chengqian seemed to be chasing him.

"Just after lunch, I went to the East Palace to look for you. Mrs. Sui'an said you were out of the palace, so I came here." Xuan Shijing calmed down, and then asked: "His Royal Highness, do you want to leave the palace?" Where are you going?"

"Go to the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs." Li Chengqian replied as a matter of course.

"Hunting ground?"

"Yes."

Xuan Shijing rode to Li Chengqian's side, and said in a low voice: "It's still during the national mourning period. If you come to this hunting ground, aren't you afraid of being sickened by someone with a heart?"

Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Li Chengqian suddenly realized that it turned out that Xiao Jing thought that he was going to the hunting ground with a mighty man, because he was going to hunt.

"Xiao Jing, I'm not going to hunt, but to investigate people." Li Chengqian said.

"Investigate people?" Hearing this, Xuan Shijing was a little confused.

"Xiao Jing wouldn't think that Gu would be so ignorant." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Don't worry, although Gu loves hunting, but during this national mourning period, Gu still knows the importance. By the way, Xiao Jing, you find Gu What's the matter?"

"The matter is complicated, let's wait for His Highness to go back to Chang'an to discuss it in detail, since His Highness is going to investigate people, it is inconvenient for me to disturb you." Xuan Shijing bowed his hands to Li Chengqian apologetically: "The little minister will go back first. "

"Wait a while." Seeing that Xuan Shijing was about to turn his horse's head and walk back, Li Chengqian stopped him quickly and said, "Don't worry about finding someone. You must have encountered some trouble in looking for an orphan in such a hurry. Well, Gu will go back to Chang'an with you now, and let them go to the hunting ground to find someone."

"Absolutely not." Xuan Shijing quickly refused: "His Royal Highness, don't miss the business."

"This matter is neither big nor small. After the Shangyuan Festival, many people in Chang'an City have to return to various places to take up their posts. In the past few days, several groups of people around the hunting ground have been attacked. Yesterday, I express The younger brother, Sun Jun, was injured by thieves nearby. If there were two incidents at once, he would go to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion to investigate, but there were many incidents, which had attracted the attention of his father. Feeling aggrieved, I took this job and came out to relax." Li Chengqian explained.

"So that's how it is." Xuan Shijing said, "So, does His Royal Highness have a clue?"

"No, so I brought a few experts here today. First, I disguised myself and went to the hunting ground to see if there were any clues." Li Chengqian said, "By the way, I remembered you when I saw Xiaojing. The people here are good at investigating cases, if you don't have a clue about this case, I will inevitably ask you for help."

"If you have any difficulties, just say hello." Xuan Shijing smiled, knowing that Li Chengqian is not a master who can investigate cases at all, and taking this job in front of His Majesty Li Er, I'm afraid it's more to relax, Ever since the New Year passed, the whole palace has been shrouded in the haze of Emperor Li Yuan's serious illness and death. The heavy atmosphere in the palace is so heavy that one can hardly breathe. It feels uncomfortable to stay in the palace for a while, not to mention that Li Chengqian stays in the East Palace all day long. If you don't come out to get some air, you won't be crazy if you don't get suffocated.

It's just that I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. This is not far from Chang'an City. Under the emperor's feet, he dared to do something like this. This hurter is not small.

"Yes, it's much easier to have you say that. Now that you're here, let's go and have a look with Gu. We'll go back to Chang'an after a while." Li Chengqian said.

Xuan Shijing nodded in agreement.

The team continued to set off towards the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs.

"Your Highness, do you know who were beaten?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's strange to say, plus my lonely cousin Changsun Jun, the ones who were injured by the thieves were all officials in Changzhou." Li Chengqian said: "Could it be that Changsun Jun offended someone when he took office in Changzhou? But even if you offend someone and do something near Chang'an City, it's too disrespectful to us."

Chang'an City was the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. To hurt people in the imperial capital, to put it lightly is to be bold, but to put it right, it is to despise His Majesty Li Er. It is no wonder that His Majesty Li Er agreed so easily with Li Chengqian to bring people out to investigate.

"In my opinion, Chang'an City needs to investigate this matter, and Changzhou side should also send people to inquire about it. It's easier to do both than to catch people around Chang'an City by ourselves," Xuan Shijing said.

"That's right, Gu also thought about it. It's just that Gu just took over this matter yesterday, and today he is free to bring someone out. I really can't think of any suitable candidates." Li Chengqian said: "Xiao Jing You still have to stay in Chang'an to help Gu investigate and explore the hunting ground, as for Changzhou, why don't you send someone from Dali Temple?"

Xuan Shijing thought for a while and said, "It's all right, but what do you want to arrange for the officials in Changzhou now?"

"They are all state officials, and there is absolutely no shortage of them, so I plan to transfer 200 people from Youwuwei camp to escort these officials to Changzhou. At the beginning of the new year, there are many miscellaneous things in various states and counties. There is no shortage of officials to sit in town. For the present plan , that's the only way to go." Li Chengqian said.

Xuan Shijing nodded.

"By the way, Xiaojing, what are you looking for in a hurry?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.
