Li Taike was in no mood to care about others, and now he was sitting in the carriage, talking and laughing with Wu Meiniang to Yizhou.

In order not to attract attention, Li Tai once again reduced the personnel around him. Now only Li Tianming is left to drive the carriage for himself, and the rest of the people are all hidden in the shadows.

So now on the official road, there is only one carriage driving slowly. Of course, there were two horses tied to the back of the carriage. It is reserved for Li Tai and Wu Meiniang, who have nothing to do to ride for a ride.

So Li Tai's outfit really has no way to make others think of him. After all, it's a bit too low-key.

……

After a few more days, we finally arrived at Yizhou City. You can already see the walls of Yizhou City in the distance. Li Tianming, who was driving the carriage, said to Li Tai in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is Yizhou City ahead." ”

Hearing Li Tianming's words, Li Tai lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out. After looking at it, he said: "I arrived in Yizhou so soon, this road is really unhurried." ”

"Your Highness, after entering the city, do we still live in the VIP Building of the Thirty-Three Heavens?" Li Tianming asked Li Tai while driving the carriage.

"This time, we don't live in the VIP building, and find an inn with a smaller façade to live in. This will help us in the next step. Li Tai shook his head and said.

After Li Tianming nodded, he drove the carriage into Yizhou City. After entering Yizhou City, Li Tai found that the entire city was also very prosperous.

And the defenders on the city wall are also in good spirits. At first glance, you can see that it is a well-trained unit. It's not like the defenders of a normal state capital.

In the end, Li Tai found a place to stay in the city and settled everything. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Tianming: "Let the shadow guards of Yizhou City come to see this king, and by the way, let Luo Huan, Hua Nan and Xu Tianda also come together in the evening." Remember, don't let anyone else find out. ”

As soon as Li Tai's words fell, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. And the man was still outside and said: "Objective, I'm the second shopkeeper, come and ask the guest officer if he needs anything?" ”

This couldn't help but surprise Li Tai, because with Li Tai's hearing, it was impossible for someone to go under the window without noticing the other party.

So this shopkeeper is definitely not an ordinary person, so Li Tai opened his mouth and said: "It's the shopkeeper, I'm looking for you." Now that you're here, let's come in. ”

Immediately, the shopkeeper pushed the door and walked in, and saw the shopkeeper's vigorous steps. Li Tai was even more sure of his conjecture, this shopkeeper was not an ordinary person.

But before Li Tai could say anything, the shopkeeper knelt down on one knee in front of Li Tai. Then he spoke: "The person in charge of the subordinate Yizhou Shadow Guard, see Your Highness." ”

Li Tai never imagined that the inn he lived in. The shopkeeper turned out to be the person in charge of the shadow guard, which really surprised Li Tai.

However, seeing the token taken out of the shop's second-hand shop, Li Tai believed it at least seven points. However, for the sake of safety, Li Tai opened his mouth and said: "Do you recognize the wrong person, I am just a person in a hurry." ”

The shopkeeper naturally understood that Li Tai did not believe in his identity. So the shopkeeper put his hands on his body and made more than a dozen gestures in a row. And said to Li Tai: "The shadow that spreads all over the world, the guards who live in the dark." ”

At this time, Li Tai believed it completely, because the gesture made by the shopkeeper was the special contact method of the shadow guard. It was also formulated by Li Tai following the example of the Hongmen of later generations.

What I'm afraid of is that if the token is lost, someone else will get it and pretend to be a shadow guard. As for the incision, it is also a symbol of the identity of the shadow guard.

"I didn't expect that Ying Wei turned out to be the second shopkeeper of this inn. This is indeed something that the king did not expect. Li Tai said to the shadow guard with satisfaction.

"I thought the Lord knew that this inn was the point of contact for our shadow guards. Otherwise, why didn't the lord let the VIP hug, but came to our inn. The shadow guard opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"It seems that this king has stumbled into his own house by mistake. This is indeed such a coincidence. He smiled and said to the shadow guard.

"Lord, this is the lord's secret visit to Yizhou, is there any doubt about Li Ke, the king of Shu." The shadow guard asked Li Tai.

"What you said is right, when this king was in Luoyang City, he found the figure of Li Ke, the king of Shu. So the king was worried about what he was plotting, so he turned to this Yizhou City. Li Tai nodded and said.

"This Shu King Li Ke is very cautious, and his subordinates have sent people to infiltrate the Shu King's Mansion more than once. In the end, however, they all failed, and several brothers were lost. Shadow Guard said with a sigh.

"It seems that this king really didn't guess wrong, this Shu king Li Ke did have a plan. What valuable information do you have? Li Tai asked the shadow guard.

"It can be said that on the surface, there is no difference in the whole Youzhou. It's just a little more prosperous than other state capitals. But there is a real undercurrent in it. ”

"There are many descendants of important ministers of the previous dynasty, all of whom have appeared in this Yizhou city. But I didn't find out what they did anything drastic. So the subordinates don't know if they are coming for Li Ke, the king of Shu. ”

"However, my subordinates have sent people to investigate secretly, but the progress is very slow. So far, I haven't gotten any useful clues. The shadow guard opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"It seems that this king underestimated my third brother, but he didn't expect him to have such a city." Li Tai said to himself.

At the same time, Li Tai also understood a question in his heart, that is, why even the history books say that the eldest grandson Wuji, the king of Shu, Li Ke, was framed by Li Yuanjing, the king of Zhao.

Because it is this Shu King Li Ke who does things really secretly, and does not let the world see the slightest suspicion. However, it should have been discovered by the eldest grandson Wuji, and in the end, Li Zhi would give Li Ke, the king of Shu, to death.

"You go down, remember that this king has arrived in Yizhou City, even if it is your own people, don't inform them. All you have to do is go on with your old life, and the king will do the rest. Li Tai said to the shadow guard.

The shadow guard said yes, then turned and exited Li Tai's room. But Li Tai said to Li Tianming: "Let the brothers go to explore the Shu Wangfu at night." ”

After Li Tianming snorted, he turned around and left Li Tai's room. It's time to arrange the rest of the matter. And now there are two remaining Li Tai and Wu Meiniang in the room.

So Li Tai smiled and said to Wu Meiniang: "When the shopkeeper brings dinner, I'm afraid it will take a while." Why don't we make a game? ”

"You little pervert, you don't let go of any time. But this girl puts her words here, and you can do whatever you have to do. This girl is not in the same mood as you. Wu Meiniang said after giving Li Tai a blank look.

"I'm just talking about playing a game with you, where do you want to go. I always keep saying that I'm a pervert, I think you're a big dirty woman. Li Tai said to Wu Meiniang with a smile.

This time it made Wu Meiniang angry and pounced directly on Li Tai's body. The two instantly scuffled together and began to frolic in bed.

After a long time, the two of them sat up breathlessly, but they were just tired from playing. I didn't do anything inappropriate for children.

"Qingque, it's been a few months since we came out, when will we go back to Youzhou? I miss my sisters a little bit. Wu Meiniang asked while lying in Li Tai's arms.

"Come on, after I finish the matter at hand, I'll take you back to Youzhou. After all, no matter how good it is outside, it is not as good as home. Li Tai said with a sigh.

Li Tai and Wu Meiniang chatted like this for a while, and then they heard a knock on the door of the shopkeeper. It turned out that Li Tai's dinner was ready, and it had been delivered to Li Tai.

After Li Tai and Wu Meiniang had dinner, the three of them came to South China. Li Tai told Wu Meiniang to rest first, and then took them to the next room.

After closing the door, Li Tai spoke: "Sure enough, as expected by this king, Li Ke, the king of Shu, really has a hidden evil intention. It's just that he keeps things very secretive, and there is no suspicion at all. ”

"My lord, after my subordinates entered the city, they found that something was not right. I feel that there is something wrong with this Yizhou, but I can't say it. It seems that something is missing, in short, it makes the subordinates feel that something is not right. Xu Tianda opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

Hearing Xu Tianda say this, Li Tai opened his mouth and asked, "Do you feel that this Yizhou City is missing something." Why does it make you feel that something is wrong? ”

This is also something that the subordinates have never figured out, but the subordinates really feel it. And this feeling is getting heavier and heavier, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the subordinates will figure it out. Xu Tianda said to Li Tai.

"I didn't notice anything wrong with this Yizhou city. If there is anything special, it is that the people of the city are very rich. I didn't even see a beggar. Luo Huan said.

"Yes, there are few beggars in this city. Although I am now in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the world have no worries about food and clothing. But this beggar still exists, even if it is the capital Chang'an, and our Youzhou, there are also beggars. ”

"But in this Yizhou city, not even a beggar was seen. It's absolutely unconscionable, and that's why it makes me feel uncomfortable. Hearing Luo Huan's words, Xu Tianda finally knew that he felt that he was missing something.

"Xu Tianda, are you a little too cautious. Even if there are no beggars in the city, you don't have to worry so much, right? Hua Nan asked Xu Tianda.

"Don't look at those beggars, all of them are lazy and lazy. Often, they know secrets that others don't know. So sometimes, in order to find out the news, the people of the rivers and lakes often ask these beggars to ask. ”

This shows that beggars have a certain reason for existence in a state capital. Because a beggar doesn't have to be a beggar to beg. Xu Tianda waved his hand and said to Hua Nan.

Xu Tianda's words couldn't help but remind Li Tai of an organization, that is, the largest beggar gang in the world in later generations. The beggar gang is definitely the most well-informed gang, so what Xu Tianda said is not unreasonable.

"Then what do you think is the reason why there are no beggars in the city?" Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Xu Tianda.

"I'm afraid it's these beggars who are all controlled by others. That's why there are no beggars in the city. And the purpose of controlling these beggars is definitely not to give them a stable life. Xu Tianda said to Li Tai.
