。

Li Hao was drinking with Li Zhi, and suddenly a guard came to report, a fire broke out in the side courtyard of Cheng'en Palace, Li Zhi and Li Hao were startled, Li Zhi was shocked and scared, last time in Ganye Temple, the fire really scared him, I didn't expect to go back to the East Palace, it was another fire, he immediately and Li Hao led people to rush to Cheng'en Palace.

Li Hao actually kept beating the drum in his heart, he just asked Chen Song to tie up people, how could there be a big fire, things were a bit unexpected to him, I don't know if Yuan Tiangang's people mixed in to kill his son, he was very worried.

When Li Hao and Li Zhi came to Yiqiumen, it happened that Chen Song and Ziyan were running out, but fortunately, both of them changed into Qianniuwei's costumes and smeared ash on their faces, Ziyan had burn marks on her face, and the two looked like they had just come back from fighting the fire.

Li Hao recognized Chen Song at a glance, and then found Ziyan, his whole heart was hanging, if Li Zhi found Ziyan, it would be terrible, fortunately Chen Song was clever, and hurriedly took Ziyan to salute Li Zhi, his head was very low, Ziyan did this kind of salute for the first time, and he was not very skilled.

Li Zhi was worried about the safety of the crown princess and Li Hong, and did not pay attention to Ziyan's unfamiliar psychological movements, and asked urgently: "How is the situation inside?"

Chen Song said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the water is the side courtyard where the palace maids live, the fire is very big, and the humble post is preparing to report to His Highness." ”

"What about the crown princess, what about the imperial grandson, how are they," Li Zhi asked anxiously.

"The subordinates don't know, the subordinates are busy fighting the fire, and the subordinates should be damned."

Li Zhi shook his hand angrily, and hurriedly ran forward, and the guards in the rear followed, and when Li Hao passed by Chen Song's side, he asked in a low voice: "Let you tie up people, why did you set the fire?"

Chen Song said quickly: "I didn't put it, someone wanted to set Ziyan on fire." ”

"I see, you go quickly." After Li Hao finished speaking, he went to chase after Li Zhi, he already understood, it seemed that the crown princess had already made a move, but she was unlucky, she happened to be bumped into by Chen Song when she was acting, which was beneficial to herself, because in this way, no one would suspect Ziyan's disappearance, and the aftermath work he had prepared could also be saved.

Li Zhi and Li Hao came all the way to the main hall of Cheng'en Palace, Li Hao was waiting outside, Li Zhi went in to see the Wang family and the imperial grandson, and after learning that their mother and son were well, Li Zhi was finally relieved, so he and Li Hao went to the scene of the fire to check the fire.

Chen Song took Ziyan out of Yiqiumen, and went to meet Zhu Ruihuan first, Zhu Ruihuan saw that he actually brought Ziyan out so easily, and he was immediately happy, which can save a lot of trouble, so they found a hidden place and began to make up for Ziyan, and made her a man, with thick eyebrows and beard, she really looks like a man, at least in such a dark night, it is difficult to identify the original appearance, that is, the height is a little short, this is nothing, there are many short people.

Next, it is to get out of Guangyun in a fool's way, from the Guangtian Palace to the stable, across a palace wall, and it is easy to say what other walls and doors, but the palace wall and palace gate defense are the strictest, and now there is a mess in the East Palace, and it is not so difficult to get out.

When they came to the Chongjiao Gate, Chen Song climbed up to the roof and looked at the palace wall with a telescope, there was no patrol, only some guards standing guard, one every ten zhang, and the defense was quite tight.

Chen Song thought for a while and said, "Ziyan and I are both wearing Qianniuwei's clothes now, the two of us have been to the door to try, we must go to the stable before dawn, otherwise when it is dawn, it will be easy to be recognized." ”

Feiying asked: "Then we will stay here and wait for the prince"

Chen Song nodded: "It can only be like this, anyway, there is no problem with your identity, just stay here, the most important thing is Ziyan, you must hide her as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, that's it." Everyone nodded in unison.

Chen Song took Ziyan to climb off the roof and came to the Chongjiao Gate, where the guards guarding the door stopped the two of them with weapons and shouted, "What kind of person?"

Chen Song took out a Qianniu Wei waist card, showed it to him, and said: "Qianniu prepares Li Zheng, Qianniu prepares Lin Meng, and goes to prepare horses on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to send someone to invite Dali Temple to come to investigate the water case of Chengen Palace." ”

The guard checked the waist card, there is no problem with the waist card, of course there is no problem, this waist card was searched from Qianniuwei when Chen Song stunned Qianniuwei, how could there be a problem.

The leader of the guards shouted, "Do you have any paperwork?"

Chen Song frowned and glared and shouted: "The fire is urgent, it is related to the safety of the emperor and the crown princess, do you think His Royal Highness the crown prince still has time to write documents!" This is not out of the gate of the East Palace! ”

The guard was yelled at by him, and he was suddenly a little scared, yes, the fire was urgent, they were going to prepare horses, and they didn't go out of the East Palace Gate, and it was okay to have no papers.

So the guard stopped pestering, waved his hand, and motioned for them to go over, Chen Song and Ziyan walked over, Chen Song kept whispering to Ziyan: "The steps are bigger, and the outer figure is ...... walking."

In the Tang Dynasty, women walked differently than men, so Chen Song had to remind her to walk domineeringly, and she couldn't be exposed in her walking posture, but fortunately, Ziyan was just a working maid, not a big lady, and she was not so squeamish when she walked.

Out of the Chongjiao Gate, Chen Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took her to the stable, found Li Hao's carriage, lifted the secret compartment under the cushion, and hid Ziyan inside.

Li Hao and Li Zhi watched the scene of the fire for a while, and received a report that all the thirteen palace maids in the middle room died in the fire, and the three houses in the entire side courtyard were all destroyed and collapsed by the fire, and the fire continued.

Li Zhi was in a very bad mood, he took Li Hao to the Cheng'en Palace, and then asked: "Poetry madness, what do you think of this fire?"

Li Hao said: "For the time being, the matter is still unclear, and the possibility of evil people cannot be ruled out, Your Highness, it is better to send Dali Temple to investigate." ”

"Okay." Li Zhidao, "I will immediately send someone to report to Dali Temple, as for my father's side...... It's so late, don't disturb his rest, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

Li Hao nodded and said, "Your Highness, the safety of you and the emperor and grandson is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and now that the emperor's health is good and bad, your safety is extremely important." ”

"I understand." Li Zhi nodded solemnly, "Right now, the East Palace has sent additional manpower, and the guards are extremely strict, but this kind of thing still happened, and it seems that more manpower will be sent." ”

"Your Highness doesn't understand what I mean." Li Hao said, "There is a way that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and around His Highness, what is lacking is strange and strange masters." ”

Li Zhi said helplessly when he heard this: "I don't get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and I can't get acquainted with any rangers, if those masters in your house can give me one or two, then it will be fine." ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "Since His Highness said so, then how can I be stingy, the minister is willing to send two masters to His Highness, one to protect His Highness, and the other to protect the emperor's grandson." ”

"Seriously!" Li Zhi said excitedly when he heard this, "That Zhu Ruihuan and the one-armed Situ Feng in your house are very powerful, why don't you give them to me." ”

Li Hao said: "Zhu Ruihuan is okay, but Situ Feng is my apprentice, he has not yet been proficient in the arts, and he has not yet become a teacher, Your Highness, I might as well give Chen Song to you, his martial arts are even higher than Zhu Ruihuan." ”

"Chen Song" Li Zhi was not impressed, and asked, "Is it also your guard?"

Li Hao nodded: "Chen Song has been with me for many years, and his martial arts are slightly better than Zhu Ruihuan, so it is better for him to protect the safety of the emperor and grandson, and Zhu Ruihuan to protect your safety, you see how it is."

"Hmm." Li Zhi said happily when he heard this, "Okay, the poet has a heart, and such a master is willing to give it to me." ”

Li Hao said with a smile: "As long as His Royal Highness and the emperor and grandson are well, I will rest assured, I will go back and let them pack up and prepare, and come to His Highness, at most two days." In fact, he was very ashamed in his heart, the reason why he sent the master to Li Zhi was mainly because his son was with him, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be so kind, even if he had this kindness, he would only send one at most.

"Okay." Li Zhi looked up at the moon and said, "There are still two hours before the sky is bright, I'll send you back." ”

Li Hao said: "You don't have to send it to His Royal Highness personally......"

"Yes, don't shirk." Li Zhi didn't allow him to refuse, so he took him out.

Flying Eagle They first met Li Hao, and then Li Zhi personally came to the gate of the East Palace, and Chen Song, who was dressed as a coachman, drove the carriage over.

In front of Guangyun, the head of the East Palace guard stopped Li Hao's carriage and said that he would conduct a routine inspection.

Seeing this, Li Zhi frowned and said, "Don't you see Lone here, King Qiongnan's car is driving, you don't have to check it!" ”

"This ......" The leader of the guards hesitated suddenly, he didn't want to check Li Hao, but this was the rule, and they were the Yulin Army, and Li Zhi couldn't control them for the time being.

Li Hao raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, there are no rules, there is no circle, now that something big has happened in the East Palace, the safety of the prince and the emperor and grandson is the most important, and there is a lot of trouble for the soldiers, everything is done according to the rules, not sloppy." ”

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this, waved his hand to check, and it was Yu Linjun who was guarding the palace gate and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Wang." After that, he stepped forward and lifted the curtain to take a look, and found that there was nothing, so he stepped back and saluted, "Lord, there are many offences in the routine of lowly duties." ”

Li Hao smiled and said: "It should be, you have done a good job, the safety of the East Palace and the Taiji Palace is all tied to you, and you must be so cautious and selfless in the future." ”

After speaking, Li Hao and Li Zhi walked out of Chongjiao Gate side by side, a group of guards and carriages followed behind them, out of Chongjiao Gate, Li Zhi was inconvenient to send it again, the two of them said goodbye, and Li Hao went home.

When he returned home and closed the courtyard door, Li Hao immediately ordered all special forces to be under martial law in the whole courtyard, and then asked Chen Song to open the cushion wooden box in the carriage, this cushion wooden box is actually very small, and it doesn't look like it can hide people, but the human body can be curled up, and Ziyan's figure is not big, and her flexibility is good, so she can hide in it.

When Ziyan came out of it, her hands and feet were numb, and when she saw King Qiongnan, she trembled even more, she was afraid, it was all because of her, King Qiongnan's child became the prince's child, she was the initiator, could she not be afraid.
