Chapter 338: News from the Prairie

The information sent back by the spies was sent to Xia Hongsheng one by one, and after being sorted out by Xia Hongsheng, it was presented to Li Shimin. As for why the chaotic party chose the location of the rally to his fiefdom, Xia Hongsheng has also learned through the intelligence sent back by the spy. In this way, Jingyang is not far from Chang'an, so the officers and soldiers of the imperial court will chase down the chaotic party more quickly, and Xia Hongsheng's own Zhuangzi is in Jingyang, so he can take advantage of this convenience to secretly arrange the special combat team members to go over and ambush them in advance to prevent the chaotic party from escaping.

Xia Hongsheng returned to the days of otaku, but this time there was no network, no games, no American dramas, no anime, only a piece of information.

The actions of the chaotic party have been restrained a lot, and half of the eyeliner around Xia Hongsheng's mansion has been removed. After Xia Hongsheng knew that he had "assassinated" the emperor, it was no longer suitable for the chaotic party to continue to hide in Chang'an City. Otherwise, the risk of detection is much greater. Moreover, the leaders of the rebellious parties in various places have begun to gather, and Chang'an City is in the limelight, so it is obviously not a good meeting place. Therefore, the rebellious party temporarily avoided the front and withdrew most of the people from Chang'an City. It's as if the hyena would always lower its body before attacking, quietly prostrate on the ground, and then suddenly attack, which is the calm before the storm.

Although Li Shimin has not been on the road for nearly a month, his orders have never stopped. Xia Hongsheng can probably guess Li Shimin's intentions, and take this opportunity to clean up the messy party, it is estimated that he also wants to take a look and give it a try, if he is weak. There will be some people. Do something.

Whether it's the spies. is still the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guard, as well as those special combat members of the Datang Blade. All the people were ready according to the instructions issued by Li Shimin from the dormitory.

The net is about to be closed, but Xia Hongsheng has become calm again - when you have almost done all the preparations, in fact, the moment you finally crossed the line was not so thrilling.

This is exactly the case for Xia Hongsheng, so when there is no information from spies, Xia Hongsheng will also use his spare time at home to do some of his own things.

For example, at this moment, Xia Hongsheng was writing at the desk, the kind of charcoal that was drawn on a piece of paper.

"Childe. You've been painting here for an afternoon, and you don't know what Childe is drawing? Yuexian asked softly beside her, Xia Hongsheng had been painting for an afternoon, and she had been sitting next to her for an afternoon.

Yuexian is a person who doesn't talk much, but she is good at listening, no matter what you say, she always listens quietly, it seems to be indifferent, but in fact she is a girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Xia Hongsheng liked to let her be next to her when she was in ambush, and she was able to make you forget that she was there inadvertently. It's just a matter of silently preparing what you need at the right time and at the right time, if you discuss it with her. She also listened quietly, and then occasionally said a few words, but the slightly cold and indifferent tone showed contradictory concern, and it was always irritating to calm down again.

Hearing Yuexian's words, Xia Hongsheng remembered that Yuexian was still beside him, so he put down the charcoal in his hand, and Yuexian came over to let go of Jinpa.

Shaking his head to say no, Xia Hongsheng replied: "Now the level of glass burning in the glass workshop is getting higher and higher, and I found an inconvenient place when I was doing things yesterday. So I thought about making something. By the way, now it's not Xing Fangshi alchemy, but some things are not easy to buy, Yuexian, do you know where to buy mercury? ”

"Mercury?" Yuexian blinked, thought for a while, and said: "The slave family was born in the dust, and I learned that there were sisters and sisters in the building, and my mother would give the mercury pill to fall, and it was probably bought from Fang Shi at that time, but now His Majesty has strictly ordered that the pill will not be passed on in vain, so there will be fewer Fang Shi, and there will be fewer people who make alchemy." However, it must be just unclear about refining, secretly refining by yourself, and I want to come and go. Childe is good friends with Yuan Daochang, so you might as well go to the Xuandu Temple to try it. Although Daoist Yuan does not alchemy, there are many Taoist priests in the Xuandu Temple, and he can always find a few. It was inconvenient for Gongzi to go out at the moment, and Qi Yong was not around, so the slave family went to Yuan Daochang for Gongzi and asked Yuan Daochang to help get some mercury. ”

Look, a good secretary and a good assistant is so convenient! Xia Hongsheng immediately decided in his heart that in the future, he would subtly teach Yuexian those things that he would know, and cultivate Yuexian as his assistant sister.

So Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "Let's let the housekeeper bring a few guards with you, there is no peace outside now." ”

Saying this, he naturally remembered that Pan'er was held hostage before, so he was not very relieved about letting Yuexian go out. After all, even if she did, the butler would have been able to run away faster than her.

Yuexian nodded: "Then the slave family will go and ask the housekeeper to come over." ”

A wise woman is like that, she knows when to be submissive and when to be tough. Yuexian understood that Xia Hongsheng was worried that she would be coerced, so she didn't insist on rebuttal, unlike some women, who seemed to feel that they should show their single-mindedness more at this time, and insisted on doing it, but it would cause trouble and be more troublesome.

The moon fairy got up, leaving behind a faint wisp of cold incense. Xia Hongsheng watched her go out, and continued to write at the desk.

After a while, the housekeeper walked into the study, Xia Hongsheng instructed him to ask for the freshly refined mercury, it is estimated that there is no ready-made one, because of the alchemy of Fangshi, he will add other things such as cinnabar to make mercury pills, but Xia Hongsheng wants pure mercury. It just so happened that Xia Hongsheng also needed time for the glass workshop to make hollow glass rods.

The housekeeper got Xia Hongsheng's instructions and went out to Xuandu to look at it.

Xia Hongsheng watched the housekeeper leave, shook his head and sighed: "I've been hiding at home all day, and I can't go anywhere I want, it's really ......."

"Childe wants to do too many things, so he is busy all day long, and sometimes people are idle, but their hearts are not idle." Yuexian walked behind Xia Hongsheng and said softly, "Why don't you take this opportunity to rest and rest?" What the slave family said was that the son also rested in his heart. ”

Xia Hongsheng looked back, and suddenly felt that what Yuexian said was reasonable. Thinking back to what he has done since he crossed over to Datang, Xia Hongsheng feels more and more that he has a kind of paranoid obsession with transforming Datang, and he spares no effort to transform this Datang without wanting to reciprocate, in the final analysis, it is the loneliness that is at work after 1387 years. Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, let alone being separated by thousands of years of time and space. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng spared no effort to transform the Tang Dynasty, in fact, he wanted to transform this Datang into a more similar life to the future life in which he lived. It's as if I saw gasoline yesterday and smelled that smell, and in a trance, I felt as if I was standing on the familiar street of the afterlife, and it seemed that the loneliness in my heart was comforted.

"That's right." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said with a smile: "I also have to give myself a holiday, and my heart is empty." ”

"If the slave family caresses the piano for the son, the son can rest for a while." Yuexian laughed lightly.

Xia Hongsheng nodded happily, went to the garden pavilion with Yuexian, and did not ask anyone to serve, he took a rattan chair and sat down half-leaning, half-leaning, half-lying down. Yuexian went to fetch the piano, knelt next to Xia Hongsheng, and stroked it with his bare hands, and the sound of the piano was like flowing water on the high mountain, and the sound entered the ears.

Xia Hongsheng also emptied his thoughts, he didn't think about anything, just stared at the high sky, and the autumn sky always looked more lofty and boundless.

The sky was so blue and pure, leaving only a trace of the tenderness of the white bird flying.

The breath of the mountain is quiet and peaceful, as if it were a song like water in a distant dream.

The wind gently swept through the field, through a free heart.

The mountains in the distance bloomed in silence, like the orchids of the hollow valley, blooming faintly between heaven and earth.

The sound of the piano in his ears is faint, the incense is burning on his side, and the prosperity in his mind is like a flower, but nothing is left.

It is like the moon in the water that ripples slightly, and finally the heart is as calm as water.

Xia Hongsheng suddenly felt as if he was infinitely open, and when he heard the gentle voice of the moon immortal, he realized that it was already time for the sun to set.

"Yuexian, thank you." Xia Hongsheng sat up, turned his head and smiled. At this moment, my heart is peaceful and quiet, and there is no trace of anxiety.

Yue Xian just smiled lightly and shook her head slightly.

I was about to say something, but suddenly I heard a voice coming: "Oh, this situation, the old slave shouldn't have bothered." However, Master Hou, there is a letter from the spy battalion, from the Turks. ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly got up, but saw Li Feng standing outside the pavilion, holding a piece of paper in his hand: "The people from the spy camp quietly passed the letter in. ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly walked over and took the piece of paper from Li Feng's hand, which had been translated by Duan Zhan. Xia Hongsheng immediately took a closer look at it, and saw what was written on it, and sure enough, she found the traces of Youji on the grassland, and when she found it, she had already seen Princess Yicheng.

When Youji saw Princess Yicheng, it meant that she had begun to persuade the Turks to send troops to invade the Tang Dynasty. If Princess Yicheng is moved by her and convinces Jieli together, then the possibility of Turkic offenses will be very great. And convincing Princess Yicheng is almost certain in Xia Hongsheng's opinion. She is the former princess of Sui, her mother country was destroyed by Tang, and the hatred in her heart can be imagined, I am afraid that she will be very easily persuaded by Youji. In addition, when he heard that Li Shimin was seriously assassinated, he would definitely persuade Jieli to invade the Tang Dynasty.

"Old man, I beg you to make a trip, hand over this situation to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty for an order for me to let the spies and special operators in the Turks enter a wartime state, start sabotage activities behind enemy lines, and pull Jieli's thighs, making it difficult for him to act."
