At the same time, inside the Kyozhao Mansion.

Zhou Xing came to Cui Geng's face in a hurry and said, "My lord, that kid has confessed!" ”

The kid in his mouth was naturally a core figure of the Four Seas Gang who mobilized all the forces of the Secret Hall, Freemasonry, and Jingzhao Mansion to capture.

With the death of Yongzhou Governor Shi He Qian, the Four Seas Gang no longer exists. However, in addition to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, there are many core figures of the Four Seas Gang who have never been caught.

Originally, these people were scattered and couldn't set off any storms, and Cui Geng didn't bother to comb it carefully. But now, when the safety of Princess Jincheng is at stake, they can't be allowed to go unpunished.

However, after the real investigation, Cui Geng found that the remnants of the Four Seas Gang were too difficult to find, and he wasted all his strength to catch one.

Immediately, Cui Geng ordered Zhou Xing to interrogate him personally, but this is also a tough guy and will not be killed.

Zhou Xing was afraid of killing him, so he had been careful with the torture, and after seven or eight hours of torture, the man finally confessed.

Cui Geng said happily: "What did he say? Where is the thief's lair? ”

Zhou Xingdao: "This person's name is He Yong, and he is He Qian's cousin. After He Qian's death, he no longer had contact with the original Four Seas Gang, but he confessed a secret hiding place for the Four Seas Gang. In the past, when they committed crimes, they hid there, and no matter how clever they were, they couldn't find them. ”

"Where's that hiding place?"

"In the tunnels of the Second Holy Palace!"

Seeing that Cui Geng's eyes were full of confusion, Zhou Xing continued to explain: "The Second Holy Palace is a palace outside the city, which is used by His Majesty and Gaozong for fun. After Gaozong's death, this palace gradually fell into ruin, and there were only twenty or thirty palace maids and eunuchs in it."

"The palace must occupy a lot of land." Cui Geng groaned: "He didn't say it, which hall is the entrance to the tunnel?" ”

"Said it, Fengxian Palace."

"That's it!" Cui Geng said: "Hurry up and mobilize soldiers and horses, let's go to the Second Holy Palace and Fengxian Palace!" ”

"Whoa!"

Cui Geng gave an order, 1,000 "patrol police", 300 female soldiers, and even 200 royal forest troops led by Wu Zhuang, a total of 1,500 people, quickly assembled and came straight to the direction of the Second Holy Palace.

The Second Holy Palace is in the northwest direction of Chang'an City, separated by a dragon head plain, about more than 30 miles away, said that it is not far away, but it is not close.

While walking, Zhou Xing briefly introduced the situation of the Second Holy Palace to Cui Geng.

It turned out that although the capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty was also Chang'an. However, the two are not in the same place.

At the beginning, when the Great Sui was established, Emperor Wen of Sui believed that the original Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty was rotten in the palace, and the water supply and drainage were seriously poor and not easy to repair, so he aimed at the south side of Longshou Yuan and built a new capital, named Daxing City.

The Tang Dynasty was established, Daxing City was expanded, and the name was changed to Chang'an.

When Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were in power, they became interested in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, and repaired and renovated part of their palaces as a palace, that is, the Ersheng Palace.

Therefore, these two holy palaces are actually part of the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty.

After listening to this, Cui Geng said with a smile: "Then this time, we can see the style of Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty?" ”

"You still have the heart to think about this." Zhou Xing smiled bitterly: "This is just a possible hiding place for thieves, if you can't find a thief......"

As he spoke, he nodded at Wu Zhuang, who was not far away.

The implication is that if we can't find the thief, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task before the deadline, so you have to plan early.

Even if you find a thief, what can you do? Wu Zetian's task to Cui Geng was not to bring the thief to justice, but to rescue Princess Jincheng. really forced those two dead eunuchs to be in a hurry, won't people tear up the tickets?

Cui Geng also knew this truth, and said with a wry smile: "I can only resign myself to fate." Anyway. Princess Jincheng suffered from the unjustified disaster of the official, and the official died for her, and there was nothing she shouldn't do. ”

"Your Excellency...... Eh, it's here! ”

As they spoke, everyone had already arrived in front of the Second Holy Palace. At the same time, seeing the battle before the Second Holy Palace, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Didn't you say that there were only twenty or thirty eunuchs in the Second Holy Palace? Why are there so many soldiers?

An ominous premonition surged from the big guy's heart, and Feng Changqing urged him to step forward and said, "Where are you soldiers?" ”

"We are the subordinates of Chen Xuanli, the commander of the Shenwu Army."

"Chen Xuanli?"

How could Feng Changqing not know that Chen Xuanli was Wu Zetian's subordinate arranged for Yang Wulian?

He couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could it be that this Yang Wulian also got the news of the secret passage. Got the first step? Oh, it's not good, if he saves Princess Jincheng first, wouldn't my family be dead? ”

Thinking of this, he shouted: "I am the subordinate of Jing Zhaoyin and Cui Geng, the water and land transfer envoy, and I suspect that the thief who kidnapped the princess of Jincheng is in the Ersheng Palace, so get out of the way quickly and let us in!" Let it be slow, it will affect the safety of the princess, can you afford to be guilty? ”

"Huh? Princess Jincheng could really be here? The little colonel guarding the door moved in his heart and said, "It turned out to be General Feng, you wait for a while, and the little one will go to the court." ”

"Go and come back!"

How could Feng Changqing not know his identity and easily arouse the vigilance of the Shenwu Army? However, in this situation, does it make sense to talk nonsense with your eyes open?

In his plan, he had already passed his name and surname, and he had already done his best. But if Chen Xuanli grinds and chirps and doesn't come out, or finds various reasons to not let himself and others go in after he comes out. Then immediately turn your face and lead someone to break in. If something goes wrong, take it on your own. It's about the lives of adults, and I really can't care about it so much.

Shaoqing, the sound of armor, the footsteps burst, and two people, escorted by fifty sergeants, walked out of the gate of the Second Holy Palace.

He ...... I ......"

When Feng Changqing saw it, a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

But it turned out that it was not Chen Xuanli and Yang Wulian who came out, but Chen Xuanli and Li Longji, the king of Linzi.

Feng Changqing is a fifth-grade official, and he doesn't have much disadvantage to Chen Xuanli from the fourth grade and Yang Wulian from the fourth grade, and if there are even casualties in the conflict, he can bear it.

However, if Li Longji, the king of Linzi, is injured, then Cui Geng will fight against thunder.

He looked at Cui Geng helplessly: "My lord, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Cui Geng understands that in historical records, Chen Xuanli is Li Longji's confidant, because he helped Li Longji raise troops to kill Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and was named Cai Guogong, General Longwu, and was in power for a while.

But isn't that for later? Why are the two of them hooking up now? What is the purpose of Li Longji's appearance here?

With suspicion, Cui Geng urged him to step forward and said, "King Linzi, why are you in the Second Holy Palace?" ”

Li Longji said casually: "Oh, this king heard that Yang Tingshi has found clues to the whereabouts of Princess Jincheng. This king is concerned about the safety of the princess, so let's see if I can help. ”

Really!

Cui Geng's heart tightened, and said: "That's a coincidence, the official also found out that Princess Jincheng might be in the Second Holy Palace, and asked the two of you to get out of the way and let us in." ”

Chen Xuanli grinned, shook his head firmly, and said, "Where is the next duty...... Forgive me! ”
