Li Shun only stayed in Bogulu Town for two days before setting off south for Chang'an.

Xi Shun knew Li Shun's preferences, before Li Shun left, he sent someone to give Li Shun a box of gold, Li Shun did not refuse, very happy smile, in fact, he came to bring a lot of gold this time, but did not give a single ingot of gold to Xi Shun, because he knew that Xi Shun would be unhappy if he did this.

Li Shun planned to give all the gold brought by Li Shun this time to the leather leopard, whose reputation for greed for money had long spread among the ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the Chang'an Town General's Mansion, the thirty-year-old leather leopard looked at the eight big boxes filled with glittering gold, his eyes narrowed for a while, and he clenched his fists at Li Shun and laughed: "Gong Li is too polite, how can this be embarrassed?" ”

Li Shun said with a smile: "This is not given to the general by the old man, it was rewarded to the general by His Majesty, His Majesty said that the general has worked hard in guarding the pass over the years, it is really not easy!" ”

Hearing this, the leather leopard sighed: "Your Majesty understands me! uh······ Ben Jiang only heard that Pingcheng changed the emperor, and a few days ago I heard that Bu Liuguli withdrew to the clouds with the emperor, who is this emperor? ”

"Son of Emperor Taiwu!"

The leopard was stunned: "What? Is it Huang'er? He's not already ······"

"Your Majesty was actually just imprisoned, and nothing happened to him!"

"I see!" The leather leopard suddenly realized, and his mood seemed to get better, and asked, "What is the ······ Gong Li came to Chang'an this time?"

Li Shun said: "Your Majesty is a first-class treasure after all, and Emperor Taiwu has been dead for ten years, Your Majesty doesn't know General Pi's thoughts, is General Pi still as loyal to Your Majesty as he was to Emperor Taiwu at the beginning?" After all, it has been a generation, as the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, and the world is hot and cold! ”

The leather leopard was not happy when he heard this, and his eyes widened: "What is Li Gong talking about?" At the beginning, my skin leopard was the house slave of the first emperor, but the first emperor of Taiwu treated me like a brother. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne as emperor, I should be loyal to the leopard! ”

"Okay, General Pi is indeed a loyal minister!" Li Shun praised a sentence, and the topic changed: "Now Your Majesty and the imperial court are in a difficult situation in Yunzhong, once the Qianjun takes the entire territory of the state, they may wave their troops north to attack Yunzhong at any time, although the imperial driver can retreat to Huaishuo Town, or retreat to Tongwancheng and Bogulu, but these places are all border fortresses, how can they be the national capital?" After thinking about it, His Majesty, the old man and others still think that Chang'an is the most suitable for the national capital, and if Chang'an is the national capital, it will definitely sweep away the decline and regroup! ”

The leopard finally understood the true purpose of Li Shun's coming to Chang'an, he was living well in this pass, and his power was unmatched, if the emperor moved the court to Chang'an, where would he still have a happy life?

"With Chang'an as the national capital? Gong Li, isn't this appropriate? The south of the Qinling Mountains is the territory of the Southern Dynasties, and there are Qiu Chi and Bei Liang threats to the west, which is really not safe! ”

Li Shun squinted his eyes and looked at the leather leopard, "What are Qiu Chi and Bei Liang?" Hasn't the general been holding the pass well all these years? If His Majesty and the imperial court move to Chang'an, it will only be more powerful! Besides, now that Lai Daqian and Xi have promised to be loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court, and promised to send troops to crusade against the rebellion of the Qianguo at any time, how can General Pi, as a loyal minister of Emperor Taiwu, be willing to be left behind? ”

"This ······" The leather leopard was speechless.

Li Shun continued: "Besides, now the court is not stable, and the powerful ministers want to put Your Majesty at the mercy of puppets, if you let Your Majesty and the court come to Chang'an, this is the general's territory, and then the ministers want to manipulate Your Majesty to ask the general if he agrees, if the general assists His Majesty to clean up the court, with the relationship between the general and His Majesty, His Majesty must rely on the general, and the promotion to the knighthood is just around the corner!" ”

The leopard was a little moved, "Let me think about it······"

Li Shun saw that he was shaken, and then took another dose of fierce medicine: "General, before the old man came, the emperor had sent envoys to see the captain's family, presumably the military is no stranger to the captain's family, with the captain's family, will he not respect the court and the emperor's will?" The east, west, and north are loyal to Your Majesty, and the south of the general is the Southern Dynasty, the general and the Southern Dynasty have fought a lot in the past two years, if the general is not loyal to the court and the emperor, the fate of being caught in the middle can be imagined! ”

Li Shun stayed in Chang'an for five days, and on the sixth day, when he packed his luggage and was about to leave, the leopard couldn't hold it anymore, so he went to the post house to stay, and talked with Li Shun for a long time, and finally agreed to let the emperor and the court move to Chang'an, and the emperor also canonized the leopard as the hussar general and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

In fact, Li Shun was the most unsure of convincing the captain, and when he subdued the leopard, he felt that he was sure to persuade the lieutenant.

Why didn't he be sure to convince Wei Dependents before? Previously, the imperial court had ordered the lieutenant to lead the army to attack the state on his back, and the lieutenant did send troops, but when he walked to the middle of the road, he learned that the Qianguo sent troops south to threaten Yuluo, and the lieutenant did not leave, and immediately led the army back, what does this mean? It shows that in the heart of Wei Wei, the safety of his old nest Yuluo area is more important than the safety of the imperial court.

If the dead Emperor Taiwu is used to play the emotional card, Li Shun doesn't think that the Wei family will buy it, the Wei family at this time is no longer the Wei family when the Taiwu Emperor is not dead, and it will definitely not work to deal with the Wei family with the same set of dealing with Daqian and Xi Wei.

On the day he left Chang'an and headed east, the Leopard took Li Shun to Baqiao, and just as Li Shun was about to get into the carriage, the Leopard asked, "Which way are you going to go to Luoyang?" ”

Li Shun turned his head and looked surprised: "Naturally, it's Tongguan, why does the general ask like this?" ”

The leopard said, "Does Situ know who the Huazhou Thorn Shi is?" ”

"It seems to be called Xue Andu, what's wrong?"

The leopard said: "As far as I know, this Xue Andu was Zhao Junsheng's old department, I suspect that Xue Andu still has contact with Zhao Junsheng, for the sake of insurance, I suggest trying to take a detour, first go north and then go east to cross the river to Hedong, and then cross the river from Hedong to Shaanxi County, and from Shaanxi County to Luoyang!" ”

When Li Shun heard this, he immediately surrendered his hand: "Thank you for telling the general!" ”

In the distance, someone secretly stared at the leather leopard and Li Shun and his party, but they could not get close because of the heavy security around them, and when Li Shun's team was far away, the leather leopard returned to the city with the generals.

"Go and ask the people around the leopard where this team of people came from and where they plan to go, and give me an answer as soon as possible after inquiring clearly!" A middle-aged man in the crowd outside the city gate whispered to the young man beside him.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man instructed another young man: "You follow later, don't follow too closely, so as not to be discovered, remember to leave marks along the way for easy contact!" ”

"Yes!"

At night, at the end of the day.

"Qianhu, find out, the old man who talked to the leopard during the day is called Li Shun, and it is Li Shun who was as famous as Cui Hao back then!"

"Li Shun? He's been missing for nearly a decade, how could he end up here? ”

"The subordinates only heard that he had been canonized as Situ by the little emperor, as for what he came to Chang'an for, the subordinates haven't found out, it is said that this person has been to Huaishuo Town and Bogulu Town before coming to Chang'an!"

"What? Has he ever seen Lai Daqian and Xi Huan? How do I feel that this is wrong, this person has met all the way to a prince! This is unusual, I have to enable the emergency contact method to report to the above, you continue to investigate, and report as soon as you have the news! ”

"Yes!"

Li Shun and others did not go far, only to Xinfeng to stop, they camped outside Xinfeng City overnight, the next morning before setting off to the north, and after the team left, an old man with two young people walked into Xinfeng City, this old man is Li Shun.

The stalker thought that Li Shun was still in the team, so he followed the team to the north.

Li Shun took two young entourages into Xinfeng County to buy a carriage and rode out of the city from the East City Gate to Huazhou.

Qianjing, black-clothed guard yamen.

"Commander, I just received the flying pigeon biography from Wei Guangming, a thousand households in Chang'an, it should be an extremely important thing!" An official walked briskly with a small scroll of paper and handed it to Lu Xuanbo.

Lu Xuanbo took the scroll of paper and opened it to take a look, his face changed, "It's not good, we just found out that the master next to Bu Liuguli is Li Shun A few days later, he has already arrived in Chang'an, I have to enter the palace immediately to report this matter to the king!" ”

Soon, Lu Xuanbo came to the palace to meet him.

Zhao Junsheng was playing with the children, and a eunuch next to him came over and said, "King, Commander Lu is here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng kicked the ball to his eldest son Zhao Dong, "Take your sister to play!" ”

Lu Xuanbo came over and hugged his fists: "King, I just received the news that Li Shun went to Chang'an to see the leopard!" When leaving Chang'an, Li Shun went east! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng was stunned, Li Shun went to see the leopard first, and then went east, definitely to Luoyang to see the captain's family.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "Send a letter to the black-clothed guard branch in Huaishuo Town and Bogulu Town to ask if there is any sign that Li Shun has been there!" ”

"Yes!"

If you want to send a letter to the black-clothed guard branch in Huaishuo Town and Bogulu Town, let them find out if Li Shun has been there as quickly as possible, and send back the news as soon as possible, and you must use the flying pigeon to pass the book, this matter is very important, and Lu Xuanbo can only order someone to use the flying pigeon to send the order.

Three days later, the news came back, and the black-clothed guard branches of Huaishuo Town and Bogulu Town respectively sent back the news that there was indeed a big man with an unusual identity a few days ago, but both Huaishuo Town and Bogulu Town kept the identity of this big man very strict, and they couldn't find the slightest news.

After receiving the news, Lu Xuanbo immediately reported to Zhao Junsheng: "King, according to the news sent back by the black-clothed guard branch of the two towns, there is indeed a team that has been to Huaishuo Town and Bogulu Town before and after, but it is heavily guarded, and they can't find any news, but they describe that the scale of this team is consistent with the scale of Li Shunduo's team sent back by the black-clothed guards in Chang'an, so it can be concluded that Li Shun has gone to Huaishuo Town to meet Daqian, and later went to Bogulu Town to meet Xi Huan!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's eyes turned cold: "Li Shun has met these princes and feudal towns one after another, what is he going to do?" ”

Lu Xuanbo stood aside and remained silent.

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng said to Lu Xuanbo: "Find out Li Shun's current location and order the local black-clothed guards to find a way to get rid of him!" ”
