It rained continuously since last night, and it fell tirelessly from the sky. It was already dawn, but there was still a vast rain and mist outside, drizzling, and the rainwater flowed down from the mouth of the tile, turning the small ditches in front of the door into a stream. The newly falling raindrops turned into many small bubbles floating on it, and disappeared in an instant. A few tender yellow locust tree leaves knocked off by the raindrops were drifting away on the water.

Spring is sleepy and autumn is exhausted, and the emotions of loving the bed are permeated in everyone's heart. The Sining Prince's Mansion is quiet. I can occasionally hear a cat rushing past the roof. Li Qing woke up from a night's spring dream. He felt that his whole body was sore, but his hands were empty. His newlywed wife was no longer on the bed, the window curtain had been opened, and large areas of light were shot into the room. The room was cleaned up very clean, and only the bright red color reminded that this place was still a bridal chamber last night. The precious sandalwood was lit in the fragrance cage, and the faint blue smoke was emitting into the air. The warm chime and peace flowed in the room.

Li Qing closed his eyes, and recalled the beauty of last night as if he was playing a movie in his mind. The gentleness and shyness of the curtain, his clumsiness and desire from the heart. A knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After a long time, he opened his eyes and felt something, but he saw a brilliant golden box placed on the bedside table. He suddenly remembered that this was a wedding gift from Li Longji to him. He made it so mysterious and welded it to death. Li Qing reached out to take it and took it heavy. He had at least twenty taels of taels. I wonder what treasure is inside, night pearl? Or a big diamond? In short, it must be a rare treasure. He looked at the gold box carefully again and saw that it was exquisitely crafted, with patterns on it, and there was a small hidden button, but the joints were roughly welded. It must be a busy seal, and it was not done by a special craftsman.

While Li Qing was thinking, the curtain came in quietly with the newly cooked ginseng and tremella porridge. She had removed her wedding clothes and put on her ordinary dress. She had taken off her heavy makeup and put on light makeup. Her face showed the joy and shyness of being a wife for the first time. Although she was tired, the habit she had developed for a long time still made her get up early, clean up the house, and cooked nourishing ginseng porridge for her husband according to customs. She and Li Qing have been together for many years, but it seems that she had just met her for the first time.

Jian'er sat at the head of the bed, combed her husband's hair with his fingers lovingly, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"

"I should ask you this sentence." Li Qing put the gold box on the table and smiled and said, "Where has Xiaoyu gone?"

"I guess I slept with Sister Jingyan last night, and the two of them couldn't finish talking all day?"

Li Qing was a little surprised, "Are you talking about Princess Pingyang?"

Lian'er smiled and said, "I used to hear you say she was Princess Leng, but I was almost misled by you. Where did she get cold? Well! If you don't talk about this, I'll get you a pillow and sit up and eat while it's hot!"

Li Qing has not eaten since yesterday afternoon. She was so hungry that she put her chest on her back. She drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls. Seeing that he was eating sweetly, Liang'er was happy, "Why do I go and serve you another bowl!"

Li Qing nodded, suddenly called her again, pointed to the golden box and smiled, "Get me a dagger by the way!"

After a while, Yan'er brought a pair of scissors and watched him play curiously. Li Qing took the gold box and used the scissors to cut it bit by bit along the original gap. He picked the last place to weld it. The gold box bounced open with a 'click', and saw a gold-painted embroidered bag inside. The two looked at each other, Yan'er's curious eyes were thrilled, "Look at what's there?"

Li Qing nodded and picked up the embroidery bag, but felt that it was surprisingly light. There were no night pearls or diamonds inside. After pinching it, it seemed like a small scroll of silk. "Is it still a martial arts secret?" Li Qing was amused. If he heard too much about this, he would naturally want to go that way.

But he guessed wrongly, and spread the yellow brocade, Li Qing's face gradually became serious. It was not a martial arts secret book, but a secret decree, which ordered him to fully handle the affairs of Nanzhao. It contained Li Longji's signature and bright red seal. He immediately understood that it was not Li Linfu who wanted to go to Nanzhao by himself, but the current emperor wanted to go to Nanzhao by himself. Since he had given him a secret decree, that is, Li Longji wanted him to do it according to his strategy and let him work in the dark. But how could Li Longji know his thoughts? Li Qing thought about it and found that there was only one possibility, which was told by the prince.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? " Lian'er asked worriedly when he saw his face was not good.

"Nothing!" Li Qing carefully put away the secret order, pulled up the curtain'er's hand and apologized: "Maybe I'm going to Nanzhao still!"

Yan'er's lips turned white, "Didn't you say you can't go?"

"Originally, the prince didn't let me go, but unexpectedly the emperor asked me to go!"

He tried his best tone to be plain, "At most, you will only be there for a few months, and you and Xiaoyu will live here. Since you get along well with the princess, I can also rest assured. I will tell the prince again and let him take good care of you."

Lian'er lowered her head and said without saying a word. After a long time, she forced a smile and said, "When will I leave? I can pack your luggage for you."

Li Qing looked at her and after a long time, two words popped out of her mouth: "Tomorrow!"

"Weicheng is raining and light dust in the city, and the guest house is green and willows are new"

In February of the fourth year of Tianbao, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the envoy of Nanzhao, bid farewell to Chang'an at Baqiao, and the pilgrimage group of Nanzhao also returned at the same time. The envoy of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was the left prime minister Chen Xilie, and the Minister of Justice Wei Jian was the deputy envoy. He also ordered the General of the Yulin Army, Chen Xuanli, to lead three thousand troops to escort him. The two of his subordinates, Li Siye, the Captain of Zhaowu, and Li Qing, the Captain of Zhaowu.

A tight drum sound, the army finally drove away. A group of soldiers were neatly staging, and the black shiny on their armor shone brightly, heading towards Nanzhao, which was thousands of miles away. Although they were not going to fight, the road was still crowded with relatives and friends who came to see them off. The wife supported her father, the wife took her children, looked at her son, the husband, and the father, saying goodbye. Li Qing was riding on a horse in military uniform, waving goodbye to the curtain and Xiaoyu standing in front of the car. In the carriage, another pair of bright eyes were also silently staring at him.

The delegation passed the Qinling Mountains and went south to Hanzhong. When they arrived at Hanzhong County, Chen Xilie was feeling sick. Everyone decided to rest for three days in Hanzhong. However, Yu Chengjie received news that his father was seriously ill, which involved the inheritance of the throne. He was anxious to return to China, so he sent someone to discuss with the Tang delegation that he would take a step first. Chen Xilie agreed and sent Zhaowu Captain Li Qing to lead 300 troops to escort Yu Chengjie first.

The group arrived in Chengdu, and Zhang Qiu Jianqiong came to greet him in person. He was worried that the delegation would have an accident. He sent Nan Jiyun to lead 500 people to guard the land, while the Nanzhao delegation would transfer to the Minjiang River by boat.

Three days later, Jiazhou was convenient. Li Qing was on the side of the boat, facing the river breeze, silently staring at the river surface. The wind blew his hair and his heart was undone. It was here. A few months ago, he experienced an unforgettable battle, and even he almost died, but in just a few months, things had changed. Li Qing looked at a small boat sailing parallel on the river surface. A flag was planted on the boat tent, and the big word "Yi" was written on the flag. He then realized that Yibin was not far ahead, and he didn't know where it was now?

At this time, Wang Bingge slowly stepped forward, stood beside him and smiled, "Are you thinking about the Hai family?"

Li Qing nodded, but shook his head again and said, "If you don't mention this, I'll ask you, do you want Min to help me when you go to Nanzhao like this?"

Wang Bingge grinned and showed a row of neat and white teeth. "When will I not want the Min Gang? Besides, I didn't decide to go to Nanzhao in the end. Let's go and see it first. I heard that the great prince Ge Luo Feng is so heroic. I want to go and see it this time. If it's really good, I would rather go with the great prince to have a future. If it doesn't work, I will go back to Chengdu to be my gang boss."

Speaking of this, Wang Bingge's mouth slightly curled back and snorted, "And the biggest hobby of this kind of person in his life is women. He wants to find at least three every night. It's okay if he likes women. The key is that his eyes are on his head, and he drinks and shouts. It seems that I am a slave to him, which makes me really unhappy!"

"You just said that Yu Chengjie's biggest hobby in his life is to like women?"

"Yes! If you don't believe it, just look at it. He will definitely stay in Jiazhou to find a woman."

As soon as Wang Bingge finished speaking, a guard rushed over and shouted: "Boss, the prince ordered you to go there immediately!"

"I saw that I must stop the ship." Wang Bingge shook his head and went helplessly.

Not long after, the ship slowed down and slowly moved closer to the Jiazhou Wharf. Li Qing was about to return to the cabin, but suddenly he found that the words on the flag on the small boat just now had turned into the character "Jia". The ship stopped and docked with them to the Jiazhou Wharf.

Li Qing had encountered a plot in this area, so he was particularly sensitive to this subtle weirdness. He felt a little alert in his heart and kept staring at the ship. Seeing it leaning against the shore, more than a dozen men and women with swords walked down the ship, and they were dressed strangely, obviously a group of people. They kept watching their boat docking and stopped, and then they disappeared on the dock.

"It's strange, there's no reason!" Li Qing couldn't figure it out.

Just as he took two steps, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "Is it?"

The boat was docking in Jiazhou. When the manager at the wharf heard that the Nanzhao guests were coming, he quickly drove away all the idle people. The originally lively wharf became empty and deserted. Seeing that they were unwilling to stay, the manager at the wharf prepared more than twenty carriages to invite the guests into the city.

"Person Li, my lord invites you to go there." As soon as Li Qing got off the boat, a Nanzhao guard came to call him.

There were about 300 people in Nanzhao, except for more than 20 officials of all sizes, the rest were guards guarding Yu Chengjie. The goods purchased from Chang'an were as heavy as a mountain, so they stayed on the ship temporarily. When Li Qing rushed there, he was already in a state of impatience and was quite impatient. According to his nature, there was no need for the guardians of the Tang Dynasty. If the Qingping official Zhao Qi Deng had not advised him not to be rude, he would have driven Li Qing away in Chengdu.

Yu Chengjie was twenty-six or seven years old, of medium size, and very delicate figure. Especially his waist was the same as a woman. Any man who was scheming but could not be considered cunning would have such a waist. Looking at his face, his skin was white and soft, with big passionate eyes, a short chin, and a neat teeth set off his pink lips. The corners of his mouth were habitually slightly raised, showing a hint of arrogance on his beautiful face.

Li Qing rushed to him, clasped his fists and said, "The second prince is looking for him, but what's the matter?"

Yu Chengjie glanced at him sideways, and his hands were behind him, but his eyes turned to the sky and ignored him. When the Qingping Officer Zhao Quan Deng saw it, he quickly smiled and said, "My lord is to ask Li Zhengwei to temporarily stay in the dock for one night. I wonder if it is convenient?"

The Qingping official was equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, with a total of six people. Among them, the Prime Minister was also called the Internal Accountant, who handled daily affairs for the king. Although Zhao Qi Deng did not say it clearly, the meaning was very obvious. It was inconvenient to carry their things, so he wanted Li Qing to take care of their belongings for them at night, as if Li Qing was their guardian dog, and he was very rude.

The kings next to them each stepped forward and walked forward: "It's better to stay!"

Li Qing waved his hand and stopped him and smiled, "I will join the land guards and station them outside the city. I will send someone to take care of your belongings."

He also reminded Wang Bingge: "The Jiazhou area has not been peaceful recently. You must be careful to protect the prince and do not be careless."

When Yu Chengjie heard his instructions to Wang Bingge, he snorted coldly from his nostrils, turned around and left, throwing Li Qing alone on the shore. Li Qing looked at his arrogant back, narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was an undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Zhandao led more than 100 people to the shore. Some other soldiers took the latter ship and soon gradually landed. Although there were not many 300 people, they were elite soldiers selected from the three thousand guards, especially one of the low-level officers, named Wu Xingsu, who was one of the top archers in the Yulin Army of the Tang Dynasty. He passed through Yang in a hundred steps and shot arrows without any effort. His fifty crossbowmen under him were all very skilled. Soon, Nan Jiyun led 500 people to arrive, and the two families joined forces and set up camp outside the city.

Li Qing was paced back and forth in the camp. Gao Zhandao had already taken his order to protect Yu Chengjie. The group of people he saw on the dock just now really made him feel at ease. Although there was no evidence that they were assassins, it was better to be careful. Once something happened to Yu Chengjie, it would not only affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao, but also his Nanzhao plan would be ruined.

According to the prior agreement, Gao Zhandao had to send someone to report the news every other hour. The sky gradually darkened, but Gao Zhandao had never sent anyone back to report his safety. Li Qing secretly felt something was wrong in his heart, so he walked out of the tent and said to the deputy general Wu Xingsu: "Take a team of brothers and follow me into the city!"

Wu Xingsu was about 30 years old and had a pair of hands that looked like ape's arms. His face was slightly black, his mouth was severe, and he was usually taciturn. Therefore, although his martial arts skills were high, he was not valued. After ten years in the army, he only got to be the ninth-rank deputy commander Ren Yong, who was only a team leader in the army.

Li Qing led a team of cavalry into Jiazhou City like a gust of wind, and soon found Yu Chengjie's place to stay. They booked a whole inn and saw Wang Bingge walking out of the inn along with Gao Zhandao, and he was turning back and cursing, obviously he was having something unhappy.

Li Qing rode his horse in front of him and shouted, "What's wrong?"

Gao Zhandao snorted coldly, and said with a grim expression: "Yu Chengjie is in the mood for fun. He ordered people to drive us out. I can't stand this cowardly!"

"You have to bear it if you can't stand it. Who asked you to provoke him? Can't you lay it in the dark?"

Wang Bing stepped forward and apologized, "It's me that's not good. I found someone on the roof. I didn't know it was Brother Gao, so I pulled him, no! I invited him down, but Yu Chengjie heard the movement."

Gao Zhandao looked at Li Qing with a serious face, suddenly remembered something, and laughed: "Then Yu Chengjie has some comments on you, do you want to listen?"

"What did he say?"

Gao Zhandao ignored Wang Bing and winked at himself, and said lightly: "He asked you to spit out your dog's urine to show off yourself. A mistress like a dog shit is worthy of being the one who sent him!"

After hearing this, Li Qing had no expression on his face. He changed the subject and said to Gao Zhandao unhappy: "Didn't I tell you to send someone to report the message every other hour, why don't you send me?"

Gao Zhandao was surprised, "I have sent two brothers back. Haven't you seen them?"

Li Qing suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked around quickly. Under the night sky, the street was very quiet. There were Yu Chengjie's guards everywhere, but there was no pedestrian. Suddenly, he saw a few black shadows standing at the corner of the street not far away. He was motionless, but he could see that he looked here and disappeared in an instant. Li Qing's thoughts turned rapidly. He suddenly remembered what Gao Zhandao said just now and said quickly: "You said he was in a good mood? Is there a woman in his room?"

"Yes! Two gorgeous women came from somewhere and fell into his arms. They had just entered the room."

Li Qing shouted, "No! Come with me quickly."

He turned over and dismounted and ran towards the inn, but was caught by Wang Bing, "What happened?" Li Qing shouted repeatedly, "Go quickly, those two women are assassins!"

Before he could say it again, Gao Zhandao and Wang Bing immediately disappeared in front of him. Before the two arrived at the backyard, there was a faint sound of fighting. Yu Chengjie was wearing a silver-gray close-fitting short jacket, only a pair of shorts underneath, and his limbs were covered in blood. He leaned against the wall with a chair in his hand and breathed. Several guards were lying on the ground, with several holes poked on his body, and blood was gushing out.

More than a dozen people outside were surrounding two women in underwear. To be precise, they were blocking the attack route of the two women. They saw that the two women were wearing few clothes, bare shirtless and back, and had more than a dozen bracelets on their wrists. Their bodies were floating, the daggers in their hands flew up and down, and the cold light flashed, and the bracelets on their wrists jingled, as if they were like death talismans, killing more than a dozen guards backwards. It was less than two feet away from Yu Chengjie.

Gao Zhandao and Wang Bing each looked at each other, and rushed towards the two women at the same time. One of them fought against one. The situation on the field immediately reversed. Although the two women were very good, they were no match for the two men. They were in danger in just a few rounds. Seeing that there was no chance, the two women began to find a way out. Wang Bing each saw that the other party was about to escape, and sneered, and his figure flashed, and his giant bear-like body was like a shadow, blocking all the other party's way. He heard a series of broken sounds sounds "crack" and the woman screamed. Wang Bing each stopped, and looked like a black bear catching prey. He narrowed his hands and looked at the woman softly and collapsed to the ground.

Gao Zhandao's opponent seemed to have stronger martial arts skills, and he was vicious, lifting his vaginal legs and catching his throat. Various vaginal tricks emerged one after another. Seeing that her companion had failed, she suddenly shook her long hair and rolled around twice. A few blood-red fog powder shot out from the bracelet. Gao Zhandao knew that the fog powder was so powerful that a kite flipped back and avoided the fog.

The woman took the opportunity to jump, her toes were a little on a tree, and with the elasticity of the branches, she flew to the roof. Seeing that she was about to escape, Wang Bing nippled and a small stone flew away. The woman heard the sound of breaking through the air, twisted her waist and avoided the flying stone. Just as her body lost its center of gravity, a crossbow arrow shot like lightning, with a strong force, and the arrow passed through her chest, and two blood mists splashed on the front and back of the chest. The woman wailed, rolling down from the roof and falling to the ground, and she seemed to be unable to survive.

Wu Xingsu put down his strength crossbow at the door, licked his lips, and shook his head again, as if he was dissatisfied with his mistake.

Seeing that the two girls were killed and injured, Yu Chengjie had no idea where he got the strength, so he threw away the chair and rushed up, grabbed the injured woman's hair, slapped her several times with all his strength, and said viciously: "Say! Who sent you to assassinate me?"

The woman sneered, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, her head soft and tilted to the side, and she actually committed suicide.

Yu Chengjie was stunned and both women were dead. The clues were all cut off. But what should I do? At this time, he heard a cold laugh from behind, "These are all sent by your elder brother Ge Luofeng. There are more than a dozen outside, all of whom are looking for opportunities to kill you!"

Yu Chengjie turned around, but saw that the Tang general Li Zheng, whom he looked down upon, was leaning against the gate of the courtyard, looking at him with a smile. Yu Cheng's program was flashing, slowly got up and put on the clothes handed by the guard, and suddenly turned around and sneered: "How do you know? Have you already caught a living?"
Chapter completed!
