Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 647

After all, there are no letters left in all the contacts between them, and this is also where Yang Guozhong is shrewd.

Even if they are exposed, Yang Guozhong can deny the cooperation with them.

It can be seen from this that Yang Guozhong is an exceptionally shrewd person, and everything he does leaves a way out for himself.

And the people he uses are just dispensable pawns.

"Well, Yang Guozhong is insidious and cunning, how should we deal with him? It seems that Tang Xuanzong will forgive him no matter how big a mistake he made. Unless what he did really made Tang Xuanzong angry, otherwise he is really difficult to deal with. Ah! But, what is Tang Xuanzong concerned about?"

Li Canghai lay on the bed, resting his head on his hands, and began to think.

Suddenly, Li Canghai sat up suddenly, and he thought of a word: Longevity!
The person Tang Xuanzong cared most about was of course immortality!
And the secret of immortality is hidden in the three great artifacts.

What's even more coincidental is that Yang Guozhong also wanted to snatch the three artifacts, which is a bit intriguing.

"The Three Great Artifacts, the Secret of Longevity, Yang Guozhong..." Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and gradually had a countermeasure in his mind.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Li Canghai hurried over and opened the door.

Lu Jitong, who was dressed in black, walked into the door, bowed to Li Canghai, and said, "My lord sees you!"

Li Canghai glanced around cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Brother Lu, how are your preparations going?"

"Everything is ready, my lord, just waiting for your instructions." Lu Jitong said respectfully.

Li Canghai nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay, tomorrow the army will leave the city through the south gate, and then you will leave through the west gate. This person has a special status, so he must be escorted to Chang'an safely!"

"Don't worry, my lord! This subordinate will definitely live up to your lord's trust!" Lu Jitong said seriously.

"Be careful on the road." Li Canghai said.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. If there is nothing else, this subordinate will leave first!"

Li Canghai nodded, and Lu Jitong immediately exited the room.

And at the same time as Lu Jitong left, a black shadow flashed across the roof, followed Lu Jitong all the way and disappeared into the night.

The next day, Li Canghai and others packed up everything and prepared to return to court.

At Chen Shi, the carriage of Li Canghai and others set off from the palace and headed for the south gate.

Both sides of the street connecting the south gate from the palace were full of people who came to see him off.

The carriage drove out of the south gate slowly, behind him were the officials and people led by the king of Silla, Jin Xiyuan, who drove straight for several miles, but refused to leave.

Li Canghai had no choice but to jump off the carriage, asked Jin Xiyuan a few words, and solemnly saluted all the people in the city, telling them not to send him off before returning to the carriage.

Ten li away from Jincheng, tens of thousands of Tang troops were ready to go. When Li Canghai arrived, they immediately set up their strongholds and marched westward in a mighty manner.

Ten days later, Li Canghai led his troops through Yanmen Pass, crossed Taiyuan, and finally arrived at Guannei Road, where they stationed twenty miles away from Chang'an.

At this time, it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the New Year was only half a month away.

In Chang'an Daming Palace, Li Longji sat high above the court hall, and all the officials and officials bowed and stood on the main hall.

"My Majesty, Li Canghai, Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, has led his troops to Chang'an, and is now stationed twenty miles away from the capital!" The governor of Chang'an Prefecture flew from outside the hall to the main hall, and knelt down loudly.

"That's great! Master Li is finally back!"

"That's right! I was still worried that Mr. Li would have an accident along the way, but now I'm relieved!"

……

Cui Huan and other people who were friends with Li Canghai were very excited.

But Yang Guozhong's expression was weird and ugly.

Li Longji stood up and said, "Come here, set out to the Chunming Gate, I will personally go to meet my hero of the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were all surprised.

Since the name of the reign was changed to Tianbao, the current emperor has never left the palace to greet anyone.

Now, the emperor actually wants to drive Chunming Gate to meet Li Canghai, which is really surprising.

Cui Huan, Li Tan and others showed joy on their faces, and they were all happy for Li Canghai in their hearts.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, how many people have been greeted by the emperor in person?
But Li Canghai was young, but it was a great honor for the emperor to greet him in person!

But at this moment, a branch suddenly appeared.

Yang Guozhong, who had always had an ugly face, came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Although Li Canghai made great achievements in fighting the Japanese, he also sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of my soldiers! Besides, he refused to obey the imperial edict and killed the supervisor without permission. This is a great crime of treason! Now, he leads [-] soldiers and is stationed fifty miles outside Chang'an City. Who knows what he is thinking? Your Majesty, if he suddenly leads his troops into Chang'an, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Li Longji, who was still in high spirits just now, immediately drooped his face after hearing this, and sat back on the dragon chair again.

Seeing this, Li Tan and the others cried out inwardly.

Since ancient times, which one of the emperors has no doubts?

As the saying goes, the master of the game is high, not to mention that Li Canghai still holds [-] soldiers in his hands.

If Li Canghai really planned to rebel, these [-] soldiers could definitely break into the imperial city.

"Your Majesty! Master Li is dedicated to the country and is loyal. He is definitely not as treacherous as some villains think! I hope His Majesty will not be deceived by villains and chill the hearts of loyal ministers!" Cui Huan walked out of the court and said seriously.

Yang Guozhong's face suddenly became a little ugly, Cui Huan dared to call him a treacherous villain in front of the civil and military officials of the court, it was like slapping him in the face in public!
"Lord Cui! Who are you accusing Sang and Huai? The truth is just telling the truth! May I ask, if Li Canghai wants to rebel, who of you can stop these [-] soldiers?" Yang Guozhong sternly said.

"Facts? Well, if you want to tell the facts, I will tell you the facts!" Li Tan glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Dare to ask Mr. Yang, which war will not kill people? You say Canghai The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers were sacrificed, so the king would like to ask, Mr. Yang knew that Dongying and Baekje had 20 allied forces, but he only gave Li Canghai more than [-] people to fight against Dongying, even though Li Canghai seconded Suanni Sailor, but the total number is only [-], so what is Master Yang thinking?"

Yang Guozhong didn't expect that Li Tan would come out to fight him again, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: "I have said this matter many times, it's just that we can't mobilize troops for a while! King Jianning has been holding on to this point. Let go, but what do you mean?"

Li Tan suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he said coldly: "Master Yang! You are also a person who leads troops to fight, and you should know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You asked Li Canghai to fight against the enemy with 5 troops. Thousands of troops, but no increase in troops, the deep meaning of this is really intriguing!"
