Chapter 789: Night Exploration of Lishui Xuan (I)

Lishui Xuan, located in the north palace of Luoyang Palace, is only more than 80 zhang away from the Xuanwu Gate, single door and single household, the area is not large, 30 zhang square, it is just a partial hall, the surrounding is empty and unobstructed, only the south facing the pond has some sparse grass and trees, just in this harsh winter season, the pond has already frozen into a thick ice mound, the grass and trees are withered, there is really no half of the scenery at all, but there is a desolate forest, few people have come here in the past, but since Gaozong moved here, Lishui Xuan, which is not too big, is already the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace, not only is the outer three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry full of Yulin Army guards, but there are more than 100 eunuchs patrolling back and forth in the inner layer, even if it is a fly, it will definitely go in.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please stay, the Queen of Heaven has a will, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, according to the doctor's instructions, you must recuperate, not disturbed, and please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Although Li Xian is the prince, not a fly, but he can't get close to Lishui Xuan for half a step, no, as soon as he walked to the outer defense line where the Yulin officers and soldiers were, there was immediately a Yulin Junlang who blocked Li Xian's way with an expressionless face.

"Presumptuous, you dare to be rude!"

Seeing that the Yulin Junlang would dare to block Li Xian's way, Gao Miao was furious, and before Li Xian could say anything, he had already scolded unceremoniously.

Li Xian didn't get angry, nor did he rush to stop Gao Miao's madness, but glanced at the Lang General quietly, and instantly felt the bloody aura that burst out of the Lang General's body, there is no doubt that as long as Li Xian dares to break through, this guy will definitely dare to play the real thing.

"Hmm!"

Although he was not afraid of the other party's force, Li Xian did not intend to have an unnecessary conflict with the Yulin Army at this time, so he raised his hand, snorted coldly, stopped Gao Miao's impulse, and then smiled faintly: "It's hard work." As soon as the words fell, he didn't pay attention to the expression of the famous man, turned around and walked in the direction of the Xuanwu Gate.

"Humph!"

Although he was stopped by Li Xian's frenzy, Gao Miao was obviously still angry, and after snorting heavily at the Lang General, he trotted behind Li Xian, but he didn't notice that the Lang General's shrunken pupils were already full of killing energy......

"See Your Highness."

In the study of the East Palace, Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia were sitting silently opposite each other, and when they saw Li Xian coming in from outside, they all hurriedly stood up and bowed their bows.

"Both gentlemen, please take a seat."

Li Xian gave a casual order, slowly walked to the top position, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down.

"Your Highness, what's the situation?"

Although he knew that Li Xian's trip to Lishui Xuan would most likely be difficult to achieve, but the stakes were very high, and he should ask something clear, Zhang Cambodia didn't have the slightest scruples, and asked directly.

"Hey, I really can't get in, it looks like I still have to go to this palace tonight."

Li Xian was just trying his luck with the hope of just in case, and he knew that Lishui Xuan was not so easy to enter, so he would not be disappointed, but he smiled indifferently and responded indifferently.

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that there may be fraud in it, so you have to be cautious."

Gaozong's illness is the key to the next move, and only Li Xianfang can really sneak into Lishui Xuan quietly, Zhang Khan Zhi is very clear about this, but it is clear that worrying is still inevitable.

"It's okay, this palace has its own measure."

As one of the world's most famous grandmasters, Li Xian has self-confident capital, even if Lishui Xuan is now a tiger's den in Longtan, but Li Xian doesn't take it to heart, waving his hand, and replied confidently.

"Your Highness, safety should come first, if you can't do anything, you might as well think of other ways."

Seeing that Li Xian's mind had been decided, Zhang Cambodia was not easy to persuade again, so he could only say something that was not very nutritious, which could be regarded as acquiescing in Li Xian's action of visiting Lishui Xuan at night......

Just after the hour, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, the wind is howling, the goose feather-like snow flakes are swept around, the white and the earth are mixed into one, it is difficult to see the five fingers when you reach out, in the huge imperial city, there is a lifeless pitch black, there is no doubt that in this kind of weather, it is only suitable for cats to sleep in the bed, but none of the Yulin officers and soldiers outside Lishui Xuan left the guard without permission, the sentry posts are lined up, the patrols are endless, and the Lishui Xuan is surrounded by water.

Sure enough, it is a strong army!

Such a big wind and snow, even if it is a green pine, I am afraid that I will have to be bent over, but this group of Yulin troops on duty does not have the slightest slackness, which makes Li Xian, who has already dived to the top of the Shenlong Palace, can't help but be impressed, of course, admiration is admiration, for Li Xian, who plans to sneak into Lishui Xuan, it is undoubtedly a headache.

Wait, just wait!

Li Xian, who was wearing a white coat, had been a cat at the top of the Shenlong Hall for a quarter of an hour, although the wind and snow were very large, Li Xian's ability could have seen the situation around Lishui Xuan thoroughly, but when it came to sneaking into the Xuan unconsciously, he was not completely sure, not for anything else, just because the person who deployed the defense was obviously a master of the formation, and there were six layers of defense line inside and outside, even if Li Xian was superb in the world, he could not sneak into it without alarming the sentry, even if he was anxious, Li Xian could only be patient and waited silently.

Waiting is undoubtedly difficult, although with Li Xian's skills, the cold and heat have long been invasive, even if the wind and snow are big, for Li Xian, it is almost the same, but the state of mind is extremely difficult to calm down, a sense of irritability has always been in the chest constantly ups and downs, even so, Li Xian has never moved, lying on the cold snow, his eyes are sharp like knives staring at the group of Yulin Army guards more than thirty zhang away, waiting for the arrival of the changing of the guard.

Good chance, now!

This group of Yulin troops standing guard are all border troops transferred from Liaodong, and their adaptability to the bitter cold is extremely strong, but this is strong, and there is a limit, of course, it is impossible to be really strong enough to stand in the heavy snow all night, and it is inevitable to change the guard in an hour, and what Li Xian is waiting for is the chaos of this short change of guard, just when a group of Yulin officers and soldiers who came to take over the post came from the Xuanwu Gate, Li Xian had already flashed, and floated down the high Shenlong Hall like a ghost, with the help of the cover of the heavy snow, a few dodges, He had slipped from the flaw in the formation due to the change of guard to a secluded corner of Lishui Xuan, and swooped to the wall, like a gecko, he rushed to the top of the hall, and rushed towards the location of the apse and the dormitory like a cat.

The flea on the drum, Li Xian really has never done it, but his subordinates are extraordinary talents in this area, before coming Li Xian is good and bad to make up for it, this time to act, although it is inevitable that there is still a sense of rustiness, but relying on his superb skills, but there is no mistake in the pool, but seeing that Li Xian's figure is only a few fluttering, the person has fallen to the top of the palace, but he is not in a hurry, but leaned down, gently picked up the snow on the tile, and then put his ear close to the tile, and listened carefully for a while, It was already certain that there was more than one person in the dormitory, and it was clear that it was absolutely impossible to enter directly through the tiles without alarming the people in the room.

Damn old thief!

Although he had made hard mental preparations before coming, Li Xian still didn't expect that Empress Wu would now carefully arrange people in Gaozong's bedroom, although it was difficult to tell how many people were inside, but just the sound of breathing felt was as many as six or seven people, and the matter was obviously a little tricky.

No, this should be a trap!

Li Xian frowned and thought about it, then put his ear on the tile again, carefully distinguished the breathing rate of the people in the lower room, and immediately found that there was something strange about it, not for anything else, just because the breathing of these six or seven people was very long, obviously they were all first-class masters, so that the answer was obvious, there is no doubt that this is the trap set by the Empress Wu, the big fish to be caught, except for Li Xian, there is no one else, if Li Xian is so reckless to break into it, once trapped, A major crime of treason to assassinate the emperor was naturally detained on Li Xian's head.

What to do? To bet or not to bet?

Knowing that it was a trap, Li Xian didn't want to drill inside, but the problem was that time waits for no one - according to the news from the inside line of the Yue Wangfu, the Yue Wangfu has begun to act, and at the latest the next morning, Li Chong and Li Wen will lead two thousand palace guards to Tangzhou, leaving Li Xian with a final decision is only one and a half days at most, if he can't determine Gaozong's illness during this period, Li Xian really has only one way to launch the "Xuanwumen Change", and this has always been a situation that Li Xian has tried his best to avoid. Until the last moment, Li Xian was absolutely unwilling to embark on such a dangerous road of killing 3,000 enemies and injuring 800 himself.

Must bet!

Li Xian did not hesitate for too long, even if he knew that there was no ambush inside, he was unwilling to give up this last chance to save the overall situation, but after seeing that he took a deep breath, he flashed, like a civet, and went to a side room in the northwest corner like a civet, leaned over the tile, and after listening carefully for a while, he concluded that there was no one inside, so he lightly lifted the tile surface piece by piece, revealing a black hole of about one and a half feet, and his figure flashed, and the person had fallen on the beam, and looked at the empty room vigilantly, Then he gently closed the tile again, and with a slight touch of his toes, the man had fallen silently into the room like a big bird.

Well, someone's coming!

The partial room is not big, it is only two zhang square, the furnishings are very simple, in addition to a wooden couch, a few brocade piers, there is only a dresser with a bronze mirror, obviously, this is the place where the palace maid rests, Li Xian did not go to take a closer look, his figure flashed to the door, just about to reach out to push open the door that was hidden, suddenly heard a sound of broken footsteps, and his hand couldn't help but stiffen......
