Chapter 21 Turning Point

Those Luoyang contacted the secret guard Shao Chun and got an extra helper, but Amu, who had gone after Xinghua first, came back soon.

Because Xinghua seemed to have just gone to the toilet on the east side for a while, and then lay down on her mattress to sleep again when she came back.

She didn't run away.

Luo Yang, who was lying on the bed, had no idea for a moment: Is she really unresponsive? Or is she temporarily inactive?

I feel so sleepy waiting with my eyes closed. Anyway, there are two boys outside watching... Luo Yang, who relaxed his vigilance, was about to fall asleep in a daze.

In the princess's mansion separated by a wall, there is a small courtyard but the lights are not turned off.

Li Zuo sat at the table a little absent-mindedly. In front of him was a small piece of written paper with only numbers on it. It was written to Mr. Gu.

The last dose of antidote has been taken. According to Mr. Care, his legs should be fully recovered, but now he always feels some swelling and pain in the joints when walking.

Could it be that he was forced into the water yesterday?

Having finished all the medicine, he felt somewhat uneasy. And with his current ability, he was not 100% sure that this letter could be delivered to Mr. Gu of Xijing without anyone noticing.

After thinking about it, I took the oil lamp and burned the small piece of paper cleanly.

The most urgent thing now is not his legs, but the upcoming looting by the feudal soldiers.

Although he didn't know where the vassal soldiers came from, when he looked at the map today, he remembered that the vassal army suddenly attacked Hanjiacang, the eastern capital, after the Holy Emperor appointed Yang Zhicheng, the deputy envoy of Lulong's Jiedu, to stay behind for Lulong.

By calculation, it was the ninth day after he was demoted to the county seat.

Now, seven days have passed.

There was not much time left for them. He must immediately tell Su Yuanfeng to guard and guard, and if necessary, first control Lu Long in the memorial hall.

Although he only guessed that the robbery was Yang Zhicheng's revenge after he reported to the Holy Emperor that he would be granted the title of Lulong Jiedushi and be granted the title of Servant, but was rejected by the Holy Emperor.

Li Zuo's thoughts suddenly became clear:

Su Zhiyuan's 10,000 garrison guards the entire Eastern Capital Region, while the Luoyang City garrison only has 3,000 garrison, and they are scattered among eight city gates.

There were two city gates near the looted Hanjiacang. The Deyou Gate was guarded by the Forbidden Army, and the Hui'an Gate was guarded by the Luoyang Army. In the end, only the Luoyang Army was punished, and the responsibilities of the Forbidden Army and Hanjiacang were completely passed off.

Yang Zhicheng must have a tacit understanding with Wang Shoucheng, and he should be none other than the Imperial Palace Guards!

"Ah Lie, go and invite the two young masters, and tell them that the wine is ready."

Of course, Li Zuo couldn't tell them about his rebirth, but he could say that he had received the news. As for how he received the news, he wouldn't tell them, and they wouldn't ask.

Ah Lie didn't quite understand why the young master was in such good spirits tonight that he insisted on inviting Mr. Pei and the others over for a drink. After searching around, he found out that both young masters were at the Navy barracks.

There was a lot going on tonight. First, Pei Xuan was asked to take Xuan Tie back to the prison. After a while, Wu Lang came over and asked him to let him go. He said that there was a misunderstanding in the house and everything had been made clear now.

It didn't matter if he let him go, Pei Xuan still had business to do, so he took Yuan Feng to the navy.

Although the navy does not care about the water station and does not inspect every ship, they have a twelve-hour non-stop guard on the Luo River outside the imperial city, which is only separated from the West Pier by a river.

So when Pei Xuan couldn't find the boat in Shuiyi, the first thing he thought of was the navy. As soon as the two of them finished questioning the several navy soldiers on duty, Ah Lie came over to look for it.

"It's already midnight, let your young master rest early." Yuan Feng smiled bitterly and said: "We still need to sort out the clues collected today. How can you be as leisurely and elegant as your young master?"

"But Master, he... also seems to be very anxious." Ah Lie said firmly.

Pei Xuan had already confirmed in the Navy that there was indeed a boat docking at the West Pier at midnight. What the witness said was true, but the Navy did not know whose ship it was.

"Come on, now that we've prepared some wine, let's talk when we get back."

When we returned to the princess's mansion, it was already quiet. When we walked to the deepest part of the mansion, the lights on Zizhuzhou where Li Zuo lived were still on.

When they pushed the door open, the smell of alcohol hit their faces. The two of them were surprised when they heard Li Zuo say:

"Carry Liu Qing back to his house, and you guys will guard the door and don't allow anyone to come near."

It took him a jar of wine to get Liu Qing drunk. To be precise, the wine was drugged with medicine, which was enough to make him sleep until dawn.

"It's true that you have to get him drunk first when we talk from now on? Then you are really going to become a drunkard." Su Yuanfeng smiled broadly, completely unaware that the danger was already hanging over Dongdu.

Pei Xuan shook his head and said, "The wine I brewed is obviously not enough. I'll ask the winery on the farm to send more tomorrow."

"Tell me what you found today? Have you found the murderer of your little cousin?"

Li Zuo went straight to the point. Based on the previous thoughts, he had just thought that among the women on the boat, there was Lu Longjin's daughter Xu Roujia, and her brother was also on the boat.

Seeing Li Zuo's direct question, Pei Xuan stopped smiling, picked up the wine glasses that were placed on the table, and poured wine for himself and Yuan Feng:

"I have gained something, but they are just clues and cannot be connected. I found out that someone secretly loaded goods from the West Pier last night, but I couldn't find the ship. I just asked the navy to keep an eye on it for me to see if I could find it.

them.

Su Er found out at the iron shop today that although several iron shops in the city did not make illegal weapons this year, the number of swords they made was twice as large as in previous years. It seems that someone is secretly stocking up on weapons."

"This has far exceeded the amount of iron supplied by the people of Dongdu. Where does the iron come from? Who holds the weapons? My father has asked people to strictly check people entering the city. Even... these things have nothing to do with my little sister.

." Yuan Feng said doubtfully.

"If you add my news, it might be relevant."

Li Zuo raised his glass and clinked it with them, took a sip of wine and said:

"Today, the Holy One granted Yang Zhicheng the title of Lu Longliu Queen instead of sending troops to destroy him."

"Yang Zhicheng provoked the tooth soldiers to kill Jiedushi, and the Holy Emperor actually let him go? He is indeed the local emperor of the three towns of Heshuo!" Yuan Feng said angrily.

Pei Xuan didn't say anything, but he was a little surprised in his heart: Liulang had always been indifferent, and he didn't expect that someone else in Dongdu would have such a news network. The Dongdu government office had not received the notice from the court yet, and he already had news here.

Great! With Rokuro's character and ability, he deserves a better future.

"Lu Long came to the capital to ask for an imperial edict. What he wanted was not to stay as a post, but to be given the post of Jiedushi and Pushe. The Holy Emperor probably felt that it was inappropriate for him to kill the Jiedushi and then immediately make him a Jiedushi... He always

In this way, both parties want to take care of it, but both parties are dissatisfied."

Li Zuo sighed softly, looked at Yuan Feng and said: "He is decisive and decisive, but now Dongdu has to bear the responsibility. I got news that someone is going to rob Hanjia Cang in the past two days. When these two things are combined, it seems that

, there is no guarantee that Yang Zhicheng will not become angry and want to take some benefits from the imperial court."

"So it's possible that the box that was brought into the city last night was in Lulong Jinzouyuan? Those weapons were also made by the robbers? Then what did my sister... discover that made her silenced?"

Yuan Feng and Pei Xuan looked at each other. Although it was just a guess, it was related to the Luoyang defenders and the Luoyang Mansion.

"No matter who it is, it will not be good for us to sack Luoyang City. My uncle is just afraid that he must mobilize troops as soon as possible to secretly strengthen the defense of the city gate near Hanjiacang, as well as the land and water routes to Lulong. Just be afraid..."

Li Zuo frowned. It was scary to think about those boxes that were secretly transported into the city.

"What are you afraid of? Those boxes?"

The three friends have a tacit understanding:
