Li Su understood, and the "veteran" Chang Shun said referred to Fang Lao Wu.

The corners of his mouth twitched, Li Su smiled and shook his head, he still looked down on Fang Lao Wu's ability, in addition to fighting and fighting, riding skills are also good, what is rare is that he is simple-minded and loyal, and today he only learned that his anti-reconnaissance ability is actually not bad.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Li Su suddenly felt that with Fang Lao Wu by his side, it was really easy to use.

As for Chang Shun's existence, Li Su was not surprised at all.

From the time Li Shimin sent him out of Chang'an, he thought clearly, to deal with the Jinyang Rebellion, Li Shimin would never only send him and Li Zhi as a passer, there must be a secret hand, this has nothing to do with trust or distrust, for the emperor, no matter how much he trusts a person, it is impossible to pin all his hopes on him without reservation, and he must always leave a secret chess piece, whether it is to check and fill in the gaps, or to check and balance, in short, it is necessary to retain a space to advance and retreat calmly.

Chang Shun's existence is a dark move made by Li Shimin. Chang Shun, Chang Tu, all surnamed Chang, Chang Tu's identity is Li Shimin's personal servant, and he has a mysterious force, so the identity of Chang Shun in front of him must not be low, and it should be the one who is cited by Chang Tu as a confidant.

Thinking about this joint clearly, Li Su's eyes flashed with an unpredictable light, and he glanced at Chang Shun deeply.

Chang Shun seemed to be aware of it, turned his head to meet Li Su's gaze, and then smiled at him very humbly, with a tacit understanding that was self-evident.

It's very good, they all serve the emperor, and the profession does not distinguish between high and low, nor between light and dark, and the emperor does what he says.

Ignoring Li Zhi, who was surprised by his old acquaintance in a foreign country, Li Su said leisurely: "Since I don't know which official office you belong to, Ben Hou will call your name directly, Chang Shun, Your Majesty sent you as a dark road and went to Jinyang with us, what is your duty?" Is it convenient for you to say this question? It's inconvenient when I didn't ask. ”

Chang Shun smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said: "This can be said, Hou Ye is too worried, His Majesty had instructions before the villain left Chang'an, the villain led a group of people to secretly follow the two nobles, in order to secretly figure out the mess of Jinyang, the two nobles are in the light, so many pairs of eyes are staring at you two, some things must not be checked, and they can't be checked, the villain is different, the villain is dressed as a disaster victim, it can be said that the water drops into the sea, hidden in the city......"

Li Su said in a deep voice: "You have also seen the chaos in Jinyang in the past few days, Chang Shun, have you found out anything?" ”

"It is precisely because of the recent chaos in Jinyang, there are chaotic people everywhere to slaughter the good, against the government, the villain has to show his identity tonight, face to face the two nobles......" Alertly turned his head to look out of the door, Chang Shun lowered his voice, and said: "The villain led his subordinates to visit Jinyang these days, and found that it was quite strange, it was about 200,000 people, and they moved one after another due to disasters, and often the villages poured out of the nest, it is said that the disaster people fled the famine, no matter which direction they went, they should first move to the cities around Jinyang, and there are carpenters and craftsmen. Where to recruit workers will stay, earn a mouthful of food, and if there is no suitable work, the family will continue to move forward, but the strange thing is that the villain carefully counted the number of people who went out of Jinyang's various avenues and paths, and found that the number of people passing by on the road was far from the number of people fleeing the famine in Jinyang, that is to say, some of the victims disappeared inexplicably before they got out of Jinyang's boundary! ”

Saying that, Chang Shun squinted his eyes, and inadvertently swept over the faces of Li Su and the others, but was stunned to find that Li Su and Li Zhi looked calm, without any surprised or surprised expressions, even Li Zhi, the king of Jin who had always been babbling and making a fuss, also looked like a peaceful lake, and his immature little face was full of the words "I already knew", and there was a faint hint of subtlety.

This time it was Chang Shun's turn to be surprised, but Chang Shun followed Chang Tu to live in the Taiji Palace all the year round, and he had already practiced the self-cultivation of Taishan Collapse before his face did not change, seeing that the two of them did not seem surprised, Chang Shun continued calmly: "...... The villain was quite surprised, aware that this matter is not trivial, so immediately sent his subordinates to visit, ashamed, the villain's subordinates are incompetent, more than ten days of continuous visits and no gains, the mystery of the people's disappearance has not been solved, until this morning, the cave village south of the mountain suddenly killed two thousand victims, the cave village was slaughtered, at that time was also lucky, one of the villain's subordinates happened to visit the cave village, saw the disaster people killed, the men hurriedly hid in a water tank, witnessed the two thousand victims burned and plundered and then went away, My subordinate was also a sober man, and he quietly followed the victims as they left the cave village, blending in with the crowd of victims, but because of the large number of people, they were not recognized......

"The group of victims did not return to the mountain after leaving the village, but went all the way to the north, walked more than 40 miles, entered an unnamed mountain, when they reached the mountainside, they turned into a mountain road that seemed to be newly paved, and walked along the mountain road, it was a new scene, the mountain road was full of trees and stones, and a natural barrier covered the surroundings, and a rugged open space in the middle, with huge trees towering above and branches covering the sky and the sun, and it was enough to accommodate five or six thousand people, and the subordinates then understood the reason for the mysterious disappearance of the people of Jinyang recently......"

Speaking of this, the expressions on Li Su and Li Zhi's faces finally changed, and the two glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Chang Shun understood at this time, it turned out that what he had found, the two nobles were afraid that they had already noticed.

"The subordinates felt that the matter was very important, did not dare to stay for a long time, took advantage of the situation to fall to the end of the team, and then withdrew from the mountain road without a trace, and quickly returned to the city to report to the villain, the villain also felt that the matter was unusual, and hurriedly gathered all his subordinates, and sent them to all the mountains, rivers and woods near Jinyang and other places that could hide and hide, and searched for five days in a row, and finally had a small harvest, more than 100 people searched day and night, and found ten suspicious places, because of the fear of revealing their whereabouts, the subordinates did not dare to check closely, but stayed outside for many days, It's estimated that it's not far from ten...... The villain felt that the matter was very important, and he did not dare to postpone it, so he had to show up to meet the two nobles and tell him about it. ”

After speaking, Chang Shun took out a sheepskin map from his arms and slowly unfolded it in front of Li Su and the others.

Li Su suddenly showed joy, this news is too important to him, and it is very rewarding to see Chang Shun tonight.

Holding up the map, Li Su squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "Have you ever found out who is behind the scenes?" ”

Chang Shun shook his head: "The villain is ashamed, he has never found it, maybe ...... If there is more time, the villain can be sure to find out the people behind the scenes. ”

Li Su smiled faintly: "There are not many people who can doubt, who is the most powerful on the ground in Jinyang, who is the most famous, who has the most abundant property, who is dissatisfied with the heavenly family, etc., count on your fingers, count no more than ten, Chang Shun, if you check according to this line of thought, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Chang Shun smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for reminding me, the villain understands." ”

After speaking, he saluted the two again, and Chang Shun's figure flashed and disappeared into the deep night.

The person had been gone for a long time, but Li Su still looked at the direction in which Chang Shun disappeared and didn't say a word for a long time.

Since he instructed Wang Zhi to be stationed in Chang'an East City, to buy and make friends with the fox society rats and rangers in the city, Li Su has been cautious, for fear that if he accidentally takes a wrong step, he and his family will be trapped in a catastrophe, so Li Su rarely uses this force of his own, even if Wang Zhi has developed this force stronger and stronger in the past two years, Li Su still does not dare to use it easily, and even asked Wang Zhi to hand over the power to his trusted henchmen, so that he gradually retreated into the background.

Li Su has always been very satisfied with his prudence, he feels that although he is not seamless, but he should not have fallen into the eyes of people with a heart, until today when he saw Chang Shun, and realized that Li Shimin also had a powerful mysterious force in his hands, Li Su was shocked to realize that he still underestimated the heroes of the world, especially the emperor who had engraved the word "hero" on his face for fear that others would not know.

Has this force in his hands been discovered by Li Shimin? If so, what should you do? To put it seriously, in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, what are your intentions in sneakily creating such a force? It's not too much to put on a hat of "trying to do wrong", right? If Li Shimin suddenly attacks one day in the future, how will he survive this catastrophe?

Thinking of this, Li Su's eyelids couldn't help jumping.

Originally, he had full confidence in his future and had almost perfect plans, but today, it seems that these plans for the future are flawed and flawed, and he has to be more and more cautious after returning to Chang'an.

…………

Three days later, the 20,000 troops of Bingzhou arrived in Jinyang and set up camp fifty miles outside Jinyang City.

The army reported to enter the city, Li Zhi and Li Su sorted out their clothes and went out of the city to meet the army.

As soon as he walked outside the West City Gate, he saw more than 100 horsemen galloping in the distance, the first one wearing a winged helmet and armor, about forty years old, a long black beard fluttering in the wind with the bumps on the horse's back.

Li Su and Li Zhi stood still outside the city gate, smiling and watching more than 100 horsemen gallop close in the distance.

A hundred zhang away from the city gate, the first person suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist, a hundred horses like a horse, the movements were neat and uniform, the horses neighed and stopped, and then the hundred horses at the same time turned over and fell off the horse, and walked towards Li Su and the two.

Rao is Li Su has seen the demeanor of the Tang cavalry, and he can't help but secretly admire at this moment.

From the subtle to the true, just looking at this neat and uniform action, the strict appearance of hundreds of people like one person, you can know how brave and fierce the soldiers and horses of the state are, and how rigorous and solid the generals are in governing the army.

The management of the army is not only rigorous, but also pays special attention to the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and the generals reined in and walked outside the hundred zhang, which is obviously the respect for Li Zhi, the prince, and the distinction between the upper and lower levels is very clear.

Until the generals led by him got closer and closer, Li Su's eyes became wider and wider, and the surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

The general did not squint, took off his helmet after walking in front of Li Zhi, bowed to Li Zhi, and said, "Minister, Shi Li Ji, the governor of the Metropolitan Prefecture of the Prefecture, meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin." (To be continued.) )
