I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 243
In Chang'an in the middle of the night, apart from the footsteps of Zhi Jinwu walking on patrol and the sound of rubbing against armor, there can be occasional beating sounds.

Near the Cheng's wine shop, several figures appeared.

The leader looked around for a while, found nothing unusual, and waved to the others.

After receiving the order, the remaining people quickly jumped over the wall and entered Cheng's Winery.

Except for the occasional sound made by unknown insects, the Chengjia Winery was quiet.

"Half of the people are on guard everywhere, and the others follow me." The leader whispered.

The others didn't speak, and consciously divided into two teams.

A group of people dispersed to guard, and the leader led the rest to the inside of the winery.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

On the roofs around Cheng's Winery, torches were lit, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

The leading man in black looked out, and saw a large number of soldiers in armor appearing on the roof, with bows and arrows in their hands, surrounding Cheng's Winery.

"We've been spotted, run!" the leading man in black shouted.

After he finished shouting, he quickly smashed through the window and entered the room.

When the other men in black heard what the leader said, they hurriedly ran away.

"Fire arrows!"

The soldiers obeyed the order, and the rain of arrows poured from the sky.

"what!"

There were a total of more than 30 men in black, except for a dozen who ran fast and found cover, all of them were shot and died.

Some were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and died without even making a scream.

After a round of arrow rain, the leading school waved them to stop shooting arrows, and shouted: "Go in, don't let anyone escape!"

"Yes!"

Not only Cheng's wine shop, but also the kiln for firing colored glaze outside Chang'an City, and the paper mill, there are a large number of men in black sneaking in.

However, after they sneaked in, they were surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

These people are dead men, so it is impossible to capture them without a fight. For a while, there were shouts of killing from inside and outside Chang'an City.

It has only been five or six years since the Xuanwumen Incident, and the people in Chang'an City still remember the shouts of killing that sounded in Chang'an back then, so there was a bit of panic, and no one dared to go out to investigate.

And those honorable ministers were startled when they heard the shout of killing.

When they realized that the shouts of killing were not loud, they were relieved.

Li Shimin wrote with a pen, as if he was unaware of the sounds outside.

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu walked in and bowed.

Li Shimin didn't seem to hear Li Mu's call, and continued to write.

When the last word was written, Li Shimin put down his pen and asked without raising his head, "How is it?"

"Your Majesty, all the people who sneaked into Cheng's winery have been dealt with, and no one has survived. There is no news outside Chang'an City." Li Mu said.

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Remember, I don't want to live, and I don't want to leak anyone!"

These people don't need to think about it, they also know that people from the aristocratic family did it.

Although it is possible to get a living, it is possible to get the handle of the aristocratic family.

But now is not the time to deal with the aristocratic family, so Li Shimin has no plans to keep alive.

Wangjia
Wang Ze's expression changed when he heard the shouts of killing outside.

"Father, did you fail?" Wang Qingyun panicked.

If the city gate hadn't been closed now, he would have planned to escape now.

Wang Ze scolded: "Why panic, so what if we are found? Those are dead men, there is no evidence, so what if we know we did it?"

Wang Qingyun's nervousness eased a lot, and he said, "Father, what should we do now?"

Wang Ze said with a blank face, "What to do, what to do, just don't mess yourself up."

……

"How long will it take to reach Gaochang?" Lin Xuan asked listlessly.

It has been more than a month of marching, and Lin Xuan has become numb.

Signed in June and gave him a drawing of a loom. Lin Xuan knew nothing about looms and didn't know how different this was from the looms of the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

As for the usual check-in items, they are nothing more than small things and snacks.

Cheng Chumo looked at the map and said: "According to the current speed, as long as there are no major accidents, it should not take a few days."

"I hope so." Lin Xuan sighed.

Marching in the desert, any situation may be encountered.

The enemy didn't see it, but thousands of people died because of sandstorms, quicksand, illness, etc.

After another seven days like this, after camping at night, Lin Xuan summoned Xue Rengui and others to the camp.

"Everyone, according to the map, there are almost three days before you can enter Gaochang." Lin Xuan said.

Cheng Chumo said excitedly: "General, the nearest city to us is Tiandi City, and there are no more than 2000 people in the city. Why don't we just take down Tiandi City?"

Lin Xuan glared at Cheng Chumo, and said angrily, "If the chief executive didn't give an order, even if we took down Tiandicheng, not only would we not be credited, but we would be guilty instead. Do you still want to fight?"

It is a big taboo to send troops without permission. Even if Tiandicheng is taken down, at most it can be regarded as worthless.

As the chief general, Hou Junji would be punished if he took personal revenge, not to mention paying off the merits.

Lin Xuan didn't want Hou Junji to catch him.

"Eh!" Cheng Chumo smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

Lin Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Chumo, and said: "The chief executive has sent a message, let us wait for him to arrive and march together. There is no need to leave the camp so early tomorrow."

Now that they are approaching Gaochang, if they continue to divide their troops, Lin Xuan and his vanguard may be noticed by Gaochang in advance.

But Hou Junji didn't intend to let Lin Xuan attack the city first, so he sent someone to send an order to let Lin Xuan wait for him to march together.

This is also the reason why Cheng Chumo suggested that he didn't even think about it and refused directly.

……

Gaochang Wangcheng
Qu Wentai put his arms around the beauties beside him, drank fine wine, and was very unhappy.

All the sitting ministers hugged the disheveled woman, and the scene was very unbearable.

However, there was one exception. Not only did he ignore the beauties around him, he didn't even drink alcohol.

Qu Wentai squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "President Guo, don't you like this? Shall I change it for you?"

"Haha~" The others all laughed.

The Prime Minister of Gaochang frowned deeply, and said: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty has sent troops to attack Gaochang. Your Majesty should have made a plan earlier."

"Guo Xiang, these are all rumors, so you should ignore them." Qu Wentai said indifferently.

"Yes, Prime Minister, although Datang is strong, it is not without enemies. We have already allied with Western Turks, how dare Datang come to attack us."

"That's right. Datang is thousands of miles away from Gaochang, and there are more than 2000 miles of desert in between. How could they go on an expedition."

As soon as Qu Wentai finished speaking, other ministers shouted out words one after another.

At the beginning, Qu Wentai said that he wanted to block the trade route, but the Prime Minister stopped him.

Later, he got a large amount of money, but he didn't want it at all.

A person who does not fit in with the group will naturally be excluded by everyone.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is powerful, and Gaochang offended the Tang Dynasty. How could the Tang Dynasty swallow this breath? The Western Turks have just ended their civil strife, and the internal instability will not mobilize troops for Gaochang and the Tang Dynasty. If you don't make a plan early, Gaochang is in danger of destroying the country." The Prime Minister said sadly.

"boom!"

Qu Wentai threw the wine glass at the Prime Minister and shouted, "Presumptuous!"

The so-called loyal words are harsh to the ear, Qu Wentai was not a wise king in the first place, so how could he listen to it.

Qu Wentai still dreamed of unifying the Western Regions by blocking Tang Dynasty's discussions and getting a lot of money.

The prime minister of the country has been blocking him from speaking, and now he is pouring cold water on him, how can he not be angry.

"Your Majesty, think twice." The Prime Minister still did not give up.

Qu Wentai said angrily: "Okay, you said Datang is coming, then you go to guard Tiandicheng."

"Your Majesty, I'm a civil servant. If I don't know anything about military affairs, how can I defend the city?" The Prime Minister looked at Qu Wentai in disbelief.

He was dedicated to serving the country, but Qu Wentai did not expect Qu Wentai to treat him like this.

Qu Wentai sneered and said, "Didn't you always ask Gu to send people to guard against Tiandi City? Now Gu sent you, but you didn't go. Since you don't want to go, don't bother Gu."

He didn't really want to send the country's minister, but he got impatient.
