Tibet

In the afternoon, Dugu Lie's carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the mansion. The leader of the guard whispered outside the carriage window: "Master, someone is watching nearby!"

Dugu Lie sneered. Needless to say, this must be Li Cong's person. He thought Li Ye was hiding in his house.

In fact, in order to buy time for Li Ye to leave, Dugu Lie did a lot of tricks, such as changing the barracks for the Hezhong Army. After changing the barracks, he should send a copy of the camp change notice to the Ministry of Household Affairs to let the Ministry of Household Affairs know.

But Dugu Lie withheld the notice, so that the Ministry of Household Registration was still an old file, thinking that the Hezhong Army was still stationed in Fengtian County. Li Cong rushed to Fengtian to arrest people, and he went back and forth, which delayed at least three days.

"Master, do you want to warn them?"

"Tell them to get out immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."

As soon as the carriage entered the mansion, more than a dozen guards rushed up and shouted at the warriors hiding in the alleys and on the roofs, "The master of the house has ordered you to get out immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"

The leader had no choice but to order a retreat. He still had to monitor, but he did not dare to be as arrogant as before and actually climbed on the roof. Now they all left Dugu Mansion far away and monitored at the intersection.

Li Ye's team walked for six days. The team had already left Jingzhao Prefecture, passed Pizhou, and entered Jingzhou. This morning, the team arrived in Anding County. Li Ye sent soldiers to buy supplies in the county. Soon, the county The store here sent two hundred stones of grain and more than three hundred fat sheep.

The team did not enter the city and rested in a pine forest outside the city. Dugu Xinyue didn't sleep well last night and was a little unable to hold on. She sat in the carriage and took a nap, while Li Ye happily held his daughter and watched the fish by the river.

The river has frozen, and several fishermen are digging holes in the ice to fish. From time to time, they catch big fish bouncing on the ice.

Li Ye pointed at the jumping fish and said with a smile: "Bao'er, what is this? This is a fish, fish -"

Li Ye was teaching his daughter to speak. He saw the little guy pouting his little mouth and exhaling. Although he didn't make a sound, the shape of his mouth was clearly the character for fish.

Li Ye laughed loudly, "By the way, it's fish!"

The little one danced with joy and crawled into the river to catch fish. Li Ye was so frightened that he hugged her quickly.

At this time, Dugu Xinyue stepped out of the carriage and walked slowly towards the river. Her legs were a little numb, so she wanted to take a walk and move around.

"Husband, we have arrived in Anding County and are about to leave the customs!"

When the little guy saw his mother, he quickly opened his arms, and Dugu Xinyue lovingly picked up his daughter, "You little piece of flesh is getting heavier and heavier."

Li Ye touched the child's head and said with a smile: "We will reach the victory level in three more days."

After resting for more than an hour, the soldiers had enough to eat and drink, then mounted their horses and set off. Wet nurse Zhang also followed Dugu Xinyue in a car to help take care of the children.

This time when I went to Ganzhou, Dugu Xinyue offered the wet nurse three times the salary, but only one of the two wet nurses went with her. Although the other wet nurse was very tempted by the salary, she had a child of her own, so she couldn't go. Unfortunately, Zhang's child died young, and she happily followed him as she had plenty of breast milk.

The team continued to move northwest.

In the lobby, Li Congzheng yelled at Yu Hua, the warrior leader, "You idiot, you can't even handle this little thing. What's the use of raising you? You can keep a dog to look after my house for me. You're not even as good as a dog!"

Yu Hua knelt on the ground, dejected and scolded. Six or seven days had passed, and Li Ye had not even seen a shadow, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. Zheng Ang and Huang Xuancong had already returned from Fengxian County, and they were in vain.

The Hezhong Army had already moved elsewhere, but there were hundreds of military camps around the capital. Where could they find them?

The surveillance at Dugu Mansion was also not going well. They paid a high price to buy a word from a servant of Dugu Mansion that Li Ye was not in Dugu Mansion at all.

After four or five days of busy work, he was back to the starting point. How could Li Cong not be annoyed?

In the final analysis, his intelligence ability was too weak, and Li Cong also realized this, so he got angry and cursed the warrior leader Yu Hua.

Zhang Tongru was sitting aside drinking tea. He now understood why the emperor didn't appoint Li Cong as the crown prince. He was incompetent and the prophecy book was filed. The emperor finally agreed to arrest him. After four or five days of busy work, he didn't even know where he was. Do not know at all?

You must know that this case cannot withstand scrutiny, and once the opportunity is missed, it will be abandoned.

Zhang Tongru stroked his beard and rolled his eyes. He was An Lushan's confidant. After discovering that Li Cong was a fool, he was considering how to use Li Cong to provoke internal strife in the Tang Dynasty and create opportunities for An Lushan to send troops to seize the country.

At this moment, an arrow ‘Whoosh! ’ The ground shot into the hall and was nailed to the pillars.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the guard suddenly shouted, "There is an assassin!"

Li Cong also stayed for a long time, and suddenly roared: "Why are you still kneeling? Why don't you chase after me!"

The leader of the guards, Yu Hua, jumped up and chased outside.

Zhang Tongru shook his head. With one arrow, everyone was moved away. If this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't the prince be dead?

He squinted for a moment, then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is an arrow letter, please stop chasing it!"

Li Cong also saw clearly that there was a letter stuck on the arrow shaft. He turned around and shouted: "Everyone come back!"

The guards all came back. One guard brought a ladder, climbed up, pulled out the arrow, and handed the letter to Li Cong.

Li Cong opened the letter and read it. His expression suddenly changed. He turned back to Zhang Tongru and said, "They left from Jingyuan Road a long time ago!"

"impossible!"

Zhang Tongru was also surprised. There were so many checkpoints along the way, and they were taking Jingyuan Road. How come there was no news from the court.

"Oops!"

Zhang Tongru suddenly came to his senses and said to Li Cong: "He has the Shangfang Emperor Sword and has not taken it back yet, so the journey is smooth."

Li Cong's face was also extremely ugly. Zhang Tongru reminded him that he must put away Shang Fang's Emperor Sword before he could attack Li Ye. He ignored this matter, but the consequences came out, and Li Ye actually ran away.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Li Cong had no choice but to look at Zhang Tongru for help. Zhang Tongru said slowly: "Based on the time, they should still be in Jingyuan Road now. His Highness immediately reported to the emperor and used flying pigeons to send messages to block all passes. , not allowing them to pass, and if necessary, notify Ge Shuhan and blockade Jincheng County. They must go to Ganzhou, and even let Ge Shuhan's army surround them. If he is not captured without restraint, it will be regarded as a rebellion and annihilated. "

This was Zhang Tongru's vicious plan to provoke internal strife in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ye was the governor of Anxi and the governor of Hezhong. Once the court used force against him, it would force him to rebel. Li Ye led his army into Guanzhong to save his wife, children and parents. An Lushan's Won’t the opportunity come?

Li Cong was not aware of the consequences of doing this at all. He wanted to catch Li Ye and prove his talents. He nodded, "I will report to my father right now!"

Li Cong left in a hurry. Zhang Tongru read the letter and then looked at the sword marks on the wooden pillar with his hands behind his hands, but he was thinking in his heart, who shot this arrow and who was reporting the message to Tongfeng?

When Li Longji heard that Li Ye had left, he was really angry. He said dissatisfiedly to Gao Lishi: "Why didn't anyone notify the court when more than a thousand people left Chang'an? Why do I know nothing about it?"

Gao Lishi said calmly: "Your Majesty, he is the governor of Anxi. His coming to the capital to report on his duties is allowed by the imperial court. There are also ultimatums issued by the Ministry of War at various checkpoints along the way. Therefore, before there is a new ultimatum, as long as his If thousands of troops do not enter Chang'an City, then whether he enters Guanzhong or leaves Guanzhong, he will definitely have unimpeded access. To put it simply, as long as he reports his duties on time before the end of January, then during this period, as long as he does not commit any crime, he can go anywhere. It’s his freedom, your Majesty, please be clear about it!”

Li Longji snorted heavily, "Without my permission, he is not allowed to leave Chang'an. Immediately send a letter to all checkpoints on Jingyuan Road. Li Ye is not allowed to leave the customs. Violators will be severely punished."
