...

"Listen!" Li Chengqian raised his finger and said to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao was stunned and raised her ears to listen.

Dong, Dong, Dong!

Sure enough, someone was banging the door outside.

In the Tang Dynasty, the bedtime was very early. Most of them went to bed at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.

Li Chengqian's East Palace has more night entertainment activities, so he usually has to play until eleven o'clock before going to bed.

After everyone fell asleep, Li Chengqian had to go to Xiao Chen's room to slut. After coming out, it was already twelve o'clock. I talked to Wu Zhao for a long time here, but I'm afraid it's almost a little.

At this time, it was midnight.

At this time, someone will come to shoot the door, there must be a problem!

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian hurriedly ran to the wall and took off the barrier knife hanging on the wall.

While walking towards the door, he waved to Wu Zhao behind him and asked her to go into the room.

I don’t know if the Wu Zhao heard it later. Li Chengqian moved his feet and didn’t wear iron shoes at night. This way, Li Chengqian lost a big weapon.

But thinking that the murderer would not knock on the door, he walked to the door with a snare and asked, "Who?"

"Your Highness, it's my Lao Long, and there is an urgent report from the Spy Academy." Lao Long's voice came from outside.

Li Chengqian exclaimed, very surprised, Lao Long? Is there an urgent report from the Spy Institute?

He opened the door and it was indeed Lao Long outside. He was on duty tonight.

After he opened the door, the lights lit up from behind, and it was Wu Zhao who lit up the lights.

This girl let her in, but he came out instead.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked.

Lao Long said: "There is No. 2 outside the East Palace Gate. He said something happened in Goguryeo. His Highness needs to go over. Someone from Li Xuejian has already informed him."

Goguryeo?

Li Chengqian thought about it and said that Goguryeo is a country that the Spy Institute focuses on. Now that the information comes, I am here and knocking on the prince’s door in the middle of the night, there must be something important.

This matter cannot be argued.

Li Chengqian turned around and said to Wu Zhao: "Go in and sleep, don't wait for me."

Then he walked into the hall.

At this time, he saw Su Mi standing outside the door. He thought she was waiting for him to go back, so he didn't sleep. He heard the sound of the door opening. So he came out to see.

Xiao Chen also opened the door, but she was a little messy. It seemed that she had not finished it just now.

The shrimps and two were also out.

Since they were all out, Li Chengqian said directly: "Sustain my dressing, I want to go to the spy house. Xiao Xiami will come to accompany the Crown Princess tonight, so there is no need to wait for me to come back."

When they heard Li Chengqian’s arrangement, they all agreed.

A little shrimp went over to support Su Mi, and the other one took Li Chengqian's clothes with Xiao Chen and changed them. Wu Zhao also hurriedly added.

After putting on his clothes, Li Chengqian waved his hand at them and walked out.

Wu Zhao just put on shoes for Li Chengqian, and only then did she know the specialness of Li Chengqian's shoes and was interested in Li Chengqian's secrets.

After Li Chengqian walked out, Xiao Chen said to Su Mi: "Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Okay." Su Mi smiled at her.

Wu Zhao looked at them. She wanted to speak, but she felt that she was not very familiar with them.

Su Mi turned her head and said to Wu Zhao: "Mei Niang, do you want to come in together?"

"Okay. OK, thank you sister!" Wu Zhao said happily.

...

Speaking of Li Chengqian, after he left the door, there were two bearded bodyguards behind Lao Long, who were waiting for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian walked over and they led the horse over to Li Chengqian.

After getting on the horse, several people walked outside.

Outside the Lizheng Hall, Lao Wang and Lao Zhang were ready to be there. After Li Chengqian came out, they hurriedly followed.

When we got outside, a team of soldiers led by the left guard were waiting.

The prince wants to leave the palace at night, so of course he has to bring enough guards.

A large group of people left the palace, walked along the palace wall, and headed straight to the spy institute.

After a while, Li Chengqian stopped at the gate of the spy institute.

He took Lao Long directly in.

When he arrived at the school supervisor's office inside, Li Chengqian saw Li Xiaogong arrive and was checking the delivery situation inside.

"Uncle, what kind of information is it? Why is it so urgent?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and spit out a cold voice from his teeth, saying, "Immediate!"

Li Chengqian walked over and picked up the information on the table and started reading it.

But this information was not all, and I didn't see anything for a moment. The paper said that Goguryeo seemed to have used force against Silla.

Silla is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, a younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, and a pro-Tang member in the northeast. Now that he is bullied by this guy Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty should not be ignored.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Why didn't Silla ask our big brother for help? In this way, we can become famous in the army?" Li Chengqian said relaxedly.

I thought it was a big deal that Goguryeo fought Silla and occupied two border cities, only two. Do I need to call the top and second-in-command of the Spy Academy in the middle of the night?

Li Chengqian felt that he wanted to pull No. 2 over and beat him up. He was talking to the mistress when he could have a room, but he was pulled over and he was guilty.

"No, Your Highness, this is still light! This is the problem!" Li Xiaogong handed a piece of paper to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the paper and drank the tea delivered by the person below, but after a glance, the tea he drank was about to spew out.

If this tea is sprayed onto the paper, the words written in ink will be spent!

Li Xiaogong was startled, and Li Chengqian also knew that he quickly closed his mouth, so he held the sprayed water in his mouth, choking on his nose and choking on his trachea!

He quickly gave the manuscript to Li Xiaogong before spraying out the water. He coughed several times before he felt relieved.

This saliva made him breathe.

After he got angry, he brought the information back and looked at it seriously.

The password is written on it, which is messy. I can't tell what is going on, but this password was made by Li Chengqian, so he could see a few words at a glance. Gunpowder appeared in the battle between Goguryeo and Silla.

He glanced a few times, but only saw some of them. It was too troublesome to read the password and it hurts the brain. He looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Let me translate it."

He was talking. At this time, a spy ran in outside and gave a piece of paper to Li Xiaogong, who gave Li Chengqian.

This was just translated, and Li Chengqian started reading it again.

Gunpowder was used by Goguryeo. They smashed the gate of Silla City with gunpowder and snatched two Silla cities in one day.

This information was written at the fastest speed in the afternoon of the same day and was sent to Chang'an as soon as possible.

It took ten days to arrive in Chang'an, and it was still used by the pigeons I had just gone to Goguryeo to train. The spy brought the letters. Some used people to fast horses, and some used pigeons. This pigeon was the strongest of all pigeons. I didn't expect that the truth was right. He brought the letter back on time.

Then he hurriedly sent to the spy institute.

It has been ten days since this, and I don’t know how the situation in Goguryeo is.

The most important question is Goguryeo's gunpowder.

gunpowder!

This word is too sensitive.

Li Chengqian only knew that this gunpowder was invented by him. They only used it in the gunpowder bureau, and they had not even equipped it in the army. There was gunpowder used in this Goguryeo to fight.

"Why are there gunpowder?" Li Chengqian slapped the table and said.

Li Xiaogong reminded: "Your Highness, we captured Hou Junji a few years ago."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, but then he wanted to deny it because the spy in Goguryeo was killed by No. 1 and brought back gunpowder samples and formula. In this way, Goguryeo did not get gunpowder at all, so why did they still have gunpowder? However, after this idea flashed, Li Chengqian still shook his head. Gunpowder had appeared in Goguryeo's army. The facts were all like this. Can he deny it with those stupid reasons?

Then there are other ways, gunpowder flowed into Goguryeo.

The first one is that the spies from Li Chengqian Sect send information and have come up with several ways.

The second one should be that Hou Junji had flown in before he was caught. Hou Junji did not say it, but wanted to go back to the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo created an illusion that No. 1 would be recovered, and wanted the court to misunderstand that the gunpowder did not flow into Goguryeo, so they ignored them and made time for them to make gunpowder. Now they should have figured out the manufacturing of gunpowder and created a large amount of gunpowder that can be used in war, so they first took the Tang Dynasty's younger brother Silla.

Third, a new traitor appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the gunpowder was sent back to Goguryeo. However, since the Hou Junji incident came out, the Gunpowder Bureau has increased its defense efforts. If it could be stolen by someone, then Li Jing, the military god, would not be considered a military god. So the possibility is very small.

However, all three possibilities need to be checked.

However, this is still secondary. What is important is that gunpowder is something that heats weapons. Its appearance was something that broke the balance in this era. It was okay to be held by the Tang Dynasty, but it was taken by Goguryeo, and it would be broken.

"Uncle, what do you think you want to do?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong bowed and asked Li Chengqian for advice: "Your Highness, come and give me some advice."

Li Chengqian didn't recommend it, put down the manuscript and said, "Gunpowder appeared in the war between Goguryeo and Silla. It has been ten days since then, and I don't know what the situation is going on. We can't delay it anymore. Let's go to the palace to see my father immediately and let him know."

Li Xiaogong nodded.

Li Chengqian continued: "Gunpowder appeared in Goguryeo, and it was related to the Gunpowder Bureau. We should notify them. Keep this for my father."

"Our spies didn't know that gunpowder appeared in Goguryeo today. They only realized it when they used it in war. This is our fault, and the spies worked harder on Goguryeo."
