Fu Tang

Relocating the capital was not an easy task. First of all, Nanchang was only a state capital before, and there was no palace suitable for the imperial palace. We had to find a place with good Fengshui to build it.

But building the imperial palace is not a matter of overnight, but moving the capital is imminent.

Li Jing lost her hair in handfuls because of this, but she refused to abandon the royal dignity.

Li Congjia saw that the hair on his father's head was no longer able to wear the hair crown, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and suggested: "The journey from Jiangning Mansion to Nanchang is not short, and it will take some time. Why not start preparing for the relocation now. Let the necessary palaces be built as soon as possible, and the rest will come slowly."

This is a way, even if it takes a long time to travel from Jiangning Mansion to Nanchang, not to mention the move of the capital, it is estimated that it will take at least two months to get there.

In two months, if there is enough manpower, at least a palace can be built. As for the real palace... let's build it slowly.

Li Congjia's suggestion solved most of the problems, the remaining question is who will stay to guard the Jiangning Mansion?

Although the capital was moved, it didn't mean that Jiangning Mansion was abandoned just like that. It was just for the sake of the saint's safety as a last resort. It is still necessary to keep it, but whether it can be kept or not is another matter.

This candidate was discussed and discussed, but no result was reached. During this period, Han Xizai simply wrote a letter saying: The king of Yue is very good, let him come.

After Li Congjia found out, he looked at Han Xizai in disbelief. Does this person have a grudge against him?Although Zhou Guo did not send Zhao Kuangyin this time, the problem is that Zhao Kuangyin is not the only general in Zhou Guo!

The worst thing was that Li Jing still thought this proposal was very good. Li Congjia couldn't tell because he didn't want to stay and guard the Jiangning mansion at all.

Fortunately, there is still Li Hongji who likes to stumbling him everywhere. Li Hongji personally stated that for the sake of the saint's safety, the capital should be moved, but he should not let other countries underestimate Tang, so he, the crown prince, must stay and guard the Jiangning mansion!

Reasonable and well-founded, after Li Congjia heard it, he knew that Li Jing would definitely agree to Li Hongji's application, and at the same time he was very relaxed.

The matter was settled in this way, Li Hongji stayed, and Li Congjia moved to the generals of the guards to guard the saint to Nanchang as a general.

Before leaving, Li Congjia went to the East Palace to find Li Hongji once.

"Brother, are there two more monks around these days?" Li Congjia cut to the chase.

Li Hongji was vigilant and said calmly: "That's true. Listening to them chanting scriptures can make you calm down."

Li Congjia glanced at him and said, "I know those two monks. They used to be eminent monks in Shaolin Temple. Brother, you are very lucky."

After hearing this, Li Hongji always felt that this sentence was so inappropriate.

However, Li Congjia didn't give him room to think about it. He just said: "These two masters are very good, and their martial arts are also strong. If brother has the conditions, I can let them protect me. When I was able to take back Jiangdu Mansion, it was theirs." Credit."

Li Hongji was even more suspicious, and after Li Congjia finished speaking, he patted his ass and left.

When I went out, I happened to meet Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie. Shi Yanlie seemed a little ashamed and didn't dare to look at Li Congjia. Instead, Shi Qingsong saluted Li Congjia calmly.

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Master, you don't need to be too polite, please protect my elder brother."

Shi Qingsong felt a little strange. In his impression, Li Congjia had never been such an easy-going person. When Zhao Kuangyin tried to murder him, he could bear the humiliation and hide for so long, and finally took back Jiangdu Mansion. Although he failed last time, he was still right. Li Congjia's life was a threat, yet he wasn't angry at all?

Of course Li Congjia was angry, but he was more worried about the threat that Shi Qingsong might pose to Shi Xueting, so this time he did not impulsively ask Li Hongji to call Shi Qingsong out, but advised him to use Shi Qingsong more.

Because Li Congjia knew that Li Hongji was suspicious. Although he had concealed it well before, the historical records were almost infallible. How could a person who was worried about being robbed of his position as the heir apparent to his uncle not be suspicious?

And with this point of suspicion enough, Li Hongji will definitely doubt Shi Qingsong, and even suspect that Shi Qingsong's threat to Li Congjia before was a joint game of theirs.

Li Hongji looked at Li Congjia's back thoughtfully, and after Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie walked in, he asked slowly, "Is there really a treasure map in Liulang's hand?"

Shi Qingsong lowered his eyes: "It's absolutely true."

Li Hongji glanced at Shi Qingsong with a half-smile and said, "Understood, come and play a game of chess with me again, Master."

Shi Qingsong looked at Li Hongji's expression, and felt that Li Hongji didn't seem to believe him, because he didn't see the eagerness for the treasure in Li Hongji's eyes. He didn't know what went wrong, and after thinking about it, it could only be what Li Congjia said.

It's just that it's not easy for him to ask immediately, and his eagerness may have misunderstood Li Hongji even more.

In fact, Li Hongji did not believe it, and the reason for his disbelief was very simple—if Li Congjia really had a treasure map, why didn't he take it out?

From Shi Qingsong and Li Congjia's narration, Li Hongji can easily judge that Li Congjia has almost never been out of Huainan's three-acre land, and the treasure should not be here, so whether it exists or not is still open to question.

Shi Qingsong must have a purpose in approaching him, and Li Congjia persuaded him to keep Shi Qingsong by his side.

In an instant, various conspiracies played out in Li Hongji's mind.

Li Congjia had no idea that Shi Qingsong had told Li Hongji about the treasure, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have taken it to heart, because Shi Xueting had already left.

Li Congjia was busy with travel matters, not only busy with the guard's rotation arrangement, but also with his own home. He really didn't know if he was busy. When he got busy, he realized that the emperor's trip once was really troublesome, especially if it was not a simple trip. , and many princes and ministers will travel with them.

The guards among them should not be sloppy, and the day of departure should also choose an auspicious day, and it should not be too far away, almost embarrassing Qin Tianjian.

Finally, everything was ready, and on the chosen day, Li Hongji personally sent him to Xuanzhou as the crown prince.

After passing through Xuanzhou, there is Chizhou. These three places are relatively close to each other. A notice has been issued a long time ago to ask them to be careful about receiving the leaders. This is fine, but the distance between Chizhou and Raozhou is not close. It is a very decent city, and even often sleeps in the wild.

Li Congjia was trembling for fear that something might go wrong. If something went wrong on the road, he would probably have to pay for his life on the road.

Fortunately, because of the special nature of the team, the daily marching time is not long. Basically, we only leave when the sun is completely bright, and stop at night when the sun is about to set.

Camping in the wild again, Li Congjia saw that it was getting dark, so after thinking about it, he decided to go to the camp. The generals he met along the way were full of praise for Li Congjia's dedication. Your Highness don’t need to be so worried, that gangster would come to attack us only if he has no eyesight.”

Li Congjia smiled and said, "Anyway, the time is still there, so I'll just take a look. By the way, there seems to be a hot spring nearby. Didn't you go?"

Song Qiqiu waved his hands and said, "I'm old, I can't get used to it."

Li Congjia nodded. After patrolling the camp, he turned around and took his clothes and items, and walked towards the hot spring. As a prince, he had long been circled off a piece of his own territory at the hot spring.

Li Congjia stood by the hot spring and had just taken off his clothes halfway, when he heard someone behind him say, "My nephew is very elegant."

As soon as Li Congjia turned around, he saw Li Jingsui hiding in the shadow of the tree, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong with the emperor?"

Li Jingsui asked: "How is it? I said that the crown prince will not tolerate you, have you thought it through?"

Li Congjia had no choice but to turn around in his middle coat and said, "I have my own opinion on this matter, so I won't bother the emperor."

Li Jingsui was about to say something when he suddenly saw Li Congjia raised his hand and asked solemnly, "What did the emperor hear?"

Li Jingsui frowned: "What?"

Li Congjia's hearing is much more sensitive than his, and he said with a serious face: "Sound of horseshoes, why are there sounds of horseshoes here? No, someone attacked the camp?!"

Li Jingsui was startled immediately after hearing this, and when he saw Li Congjia just wrapped up his clothes and was about to leave, he couldn't help but ran over and grabbed Li Congjia and asked, "You didn't patrol the camp just now? Why did something go wrong?"

Li Jingsui's tonnage can now trap two Li Congjias, and Li Congjia was almost dragged down by him if he didn't notice!

"How do I know!" Li Congjia said angrily, "I have searched the surroundings just now and it is true that there is no problem. If the emperor is afraid, go back to the tent to rest first, it will be safe there."

MD, no matter who comes to make trouble, don't let him be caught, otherwise he will definitely be punished!

Li Congjia was about to put his clothes on again, when he heard the sound of horseshoes getting closer, he couldn't help being startled: "Why are you running this way? It's this hour, who is still here?"

Li Jingsui said angrily, "Aren't I still here?"

Li Congjia turned to look at Li Jingsui, and asked with a strange expression, "Are you here?"

Li Jingsui stared: "No matter who it is, the most important thing now is to go back! Go back! Someone, escort me back!"

However, when Li Jingsui came over, he brought two guards with him, and the rest of the guards here belonged to Li Congjia. Now Li Jingsui was afraid of being caught by the gangsters, so he insisted that there were too few guards.

At this time, this guy is still adding to the chaos, Li Congjia really wants to throw him out!

"You guys, escort His Royal Highness King Jin back to the camp, and the rest follow me!" Li Congjia had a total of ten guards, and Li Jingsui was divided into six directly, but Li Jingsui was quite dissatisfied with this.

Li Congjia didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned around to continue getting dressed. He had already seen the lit torches not far away, and that must be where the incident happened, so he wanted to go and have a look.

As a result, just two steps away, Li Jingsui suddenly heard an exclamation, and when he turned his head, he saw a masked man in black riding a black horse rushing towards him.

Li Congjia was startled, because he didn't have a weapon in his hand, and he hadn't put on his clothes yet, so he didn't have time to run, so he could only watch the man rushing over and leaning over, then his waist tightened, and his body flew into the air.

Standing aside, Li Jingsui, who was so scared that he almost peed his pants, watched helplessly as the thief took his nephew away single-handedly. After a long while, he tremblingly said, "You guys... escort me back!"

Li Congjia's guards turned back immediately and clamored to arrest people. After all, they were Li Congjia's guards. Now that Li Congjia was taken away, none of them should think about it!

Li Jing was so angry that he had no choice but to say: "If I am also taken away by the thieves, you will have no hope of living. If you escort me back safely, I can intercede for you instead!"

The guards hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and could only accept Li Jingsui's order. After all, the person who kidnapped Li Congjia was riding a horse, and they couldn't catch up no matter how fast they ran.

Li Jingsui walked back tremblingly, all the way worried that someone would suddenly rush out and take him away.

When he returned to the camp, he found that the whole camp was very lively, and just as he was about to quietly return to his tent, he saw an eunuch coming to announce him to see the saint.

Li Jingsui's expression turned very ugly, he was only worried that if Li Jing found out that he would not save Li Congjia...he, the prince, might end his life.

However, Li Jing had to summon him, so Li Jingsui arrived at the emperor's tent with a feeling of apprehension. At this time, almost all the important officials were in the tent, even Queen Zhong was there.

After Li Jingsui went in, he saw Li Jing's face gloomy and said, "Who made the noise just now?"

Tang Hao, the privy envoy, immediately stood up and said, "I'm not sure yet. They seem to be bandits by their attire, but they have horses. They have sent people to track them down now, and ask the sage to show them."

Li Jing's face was not very good-looking: "In that case, then... wait, where is Liu Lang?"

At this time, Li Jing found that the sixth son who was the leader of the escort team had disappeared, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Li Jingsui really wanted to stay silent, but he would find out sooner or later, so he could only bite the bullet, threw himself at Li Jing's feet and cried, "Saint, saint, Liu Lang was taken away by the thieves!"

"What?" Li Jing stood up at that time and glared at Li Jingsui: "What's going on? Tell me!"

Li Jingsui had no choice but to explain what happened just now, emphasizing that when Li Congjia was going to soak in the hot spring, he was taken away by someone unsuspecting, and he happened to be there at the time, but he couldn't be rescued in time, because he Only brought two guards!

Li Jing was furious immediately: "What? What do the guards around Liu Lang eat?!"

Li Jingsui completely forgot the promise he had just made to those guards, and added more details about how ineffective those guards were, and did not protect Li Congjia at all.

Li Jing's anger at being provoked rose, and with a wave of his hand, the fate of those guards was decided. Until their death, those guards didn't know that Li Jingsui let them die in order to keep his throne.

Li Jing asked Tang Hao to send someone to chase those thieves, and check who else was taken away by the way.

As a result, after this investigation, it was found that Li Congjia was the only one who was taken away!

This result made everyone very puzzled. Song Qiqiu felt that he had a special crow's mouth. He had said that there would be no problem before, but something went wrong, so he had to say in frustration: "These people, they look like I came prepared, could it be aimed at His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"

Li Jing's face became even uglier, and Empress Zhong couldn't help sobbing softly. Compared with the bandits, the thieves who came prepared and had a grudge against Li Congjia were more terrifying. Li Congjia fell into their hands, and now they can only hope Those people wanted to exchange Li Congjia for money.

And Li Congjia, who was worried by everyone, also sat sideways on the horse with a confused face at this time, letting the masked knight lead him to an unknown place.

After a while, Li Congjia couldn't help but said, "It's almost there? Can you let me change my posture first?"

This posture of sitting sideways is reserved for ladies. It’s okay to ride a horse for a walk. This posture is going to kill the horse. In order to prevent him from slipping off the horse, the man tightly bound one arm his waist.

Li Congjia felt like he was going to be out of breath!

The speed of the horse slowed down a bit, but it was still running. The masked knight looked down at Li Congjia and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

His voice was muffled, and he could hear a faint smile when he listened carefully.

Li Congjia rolled his eyes: "Stop pretending, stop quickly and let me change my posture, and let me put on my clothes by the way, okay? And my hair!"

Li Congjia was going crazy. Before he was taken away, he wanted to take a bath. Half of his clothes were taken off, and the hair crown on his head was also taken off. Blow, I guess I can COS Sadako at night!

Li Congjia reckoned his image, if someone sees him, the first thing that may come to mind is not that he was taken away, but whether he and the people around him did something indescribable right away, such as... Ma shock!

The man smiled lowly and said, "How did you guess it was mine?"

"You are dressed in sandalwood, and your goal is so clear, it's hard to guess, Shi Xueting, I tell you to stop!" Li Congjia angrily knocked Shi Xueting on the head.

Shi Xueting was a little helpless and said: "Be patient, you can't stop, if you are caught up, you will be in trouble."

Li Congjia grabbed Li Congjia's arm and looked back, frowned and said, "No one seems to be chasing me."

Shi Xueting tightened his arms, pulled him into his arms, tried to make him more comfortable, and insisted: "It will be fine after crossing the Yangtze River."

Li Congjia almost fainted when he heard that, they are now probably in the position of Qimen in the later generations, crossing the Yangtze River?He is afraid that he will die immediately!

Fortunately, Shi Xueting didn't really take him to the riverside in one breath. After Shi Xueting confirmed that there were no pursuers behind him, he stopped slowly and took off the mask on his face.

After Li Congjia came down, he tidied up his clothes in embarrassment, and found in despair that he hadn't brought his belt and accessories by the side of the hot spring. He was in such a hurry that he only had time to pick up his coat.

Seeing Li Congjia trembling, Shi Xueting made a cloak out of nowhere, wrapped it around him and said, "Be patient, we will have clothes and food when we get to the place where we are staying."

Li Congjia held his restless hair that was blown by the wind and said, "I need a hair tie more now." While talking, he looked at Shi Xueting's bald head and said, "You won't make it because of yourself." If you don’t arrive, you don’t bring it with you?”

Shi Xueting took out a box from his arms with a helpless expression and said, "This is for you."

Li Congjia took it and found that it was actually a simple wooden hairpin with very small characters engraved on it. Because it was too dark, he couldn't see clearly, so he had to use the hairpin to tie up his hair first, but he didn't know it was his handicraft. No, the wind is still too strong, and it has not been done after several attempts.

Seeing that he was going to explode, Shi Xueting next to him had to turn Li Congjia around and help Li Congjia tie her hair.

It wasn't until this time that Li Congjia suddenly realized that Shi Xueting seemed... to have grown a lot taller, at least to a height where he could tie his hair without any effort.

Li Congjia looked up at Shi Xueting and asked, "What have you been eating this year? How did you grow so fast?"

Shi Xueting: ...

"Let's keep going. If it's too late, we won't be able to find a place." Shi Xueting calmly changed the subject.

Li Congjia agreed, of course this time he definitely wasn't sitting sideways, but sitting in the front and being surrounded by Shi Xueting in his arms still made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"How did you think of using this method?" Li Congjia asked, he really didn't expect Shi Xueting to be so bold.

Shi Xueting said frankly: "It's not easy for Your Majesty to escape, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity to escape on the road, it may not be so easy when you arrive in Nanchang."

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "You actually know that you want to move the capital?"

Shi Xueting hesitated before saying: "I didn't leave, I have been in Jiangning mansion all the time."

Li Congjia was very surprised: "You are brave enough, then..."

Li Congjia originally wanted to ask him if he knew anything about Shi Qingsong, but he was worried that it would hurt Shi Xueting, so he planned to wait until he settled down before asking.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xueting took the initiative to mention: "Did my master go to trouble the king?"

Li Congjia asked, "You know?"

Shi Xueting replied: "Not very clear."

Li Congjia was silent for a while before saying: "This matter... is a bit complicated. I don't know what stimulated Master Shi Qingsong and why he said those words, but I hope you will not be sad after hearing this."

Shi Xueting said in a low voice: "It's okay, I know it all."

Li Congjia was slightly surprised: "You know everything?"

Shi Xueting responded softly and said: "This matter is related to my life experience, and it is a bit complicated. I will tell you in detail after we find Shi Shilang and the others."

Li Congjia finally came to his senses at this time: "By the way, how many people did you bring here? You have been in Jiangning Mansion these days, so... where did you arrange for those soldiers to go? What are they doing?"

Shi Xueting hesitated for a moment before saying: "Well... after I say it, don't be angry."

Li Congjia suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
