Placid Chang'an

163 Empty City

The man came in step by step, stepping on the morning light under his feet, his heavy eyes drooped down, like a piece of amber wax soaked in water, the brilliance was restrained, like substance.

Su Cen froze in place, and only remembered to cough after a while.

Coughing and coughing and coughing up tears.

In Chang'an City, in Yangzhou, in such a small village that can't be found on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, this person can always appear in front of him at the most unlikely time, like a magic soldier descending from heaven.

Su Cen was already powerless to ask him why he was here, all the words were choked in his throat and forced to the sockets of his eyes, which turned red in an instant.

Li Shi walked up to him and gave him a pat on the back. After he finished coughing, he noticed those red|swollen eyes, and frowned, "I was the one who was scolded, why are you crying?"

Only then did Su Cen remember what he was doing before Li Shi came, his face turned blushing, and when he raised his head, he realized that Li Shi came by himself, and he didn't even bring Qi Lin with him!

Looking outside the door of the flower hall, people who have arranged the secret door densely have already surrounded the place tightly.

Su Cen panicked for a moment, even worse than when he was discovered. He is a little Dali Shaoqing. If he is gone, someone else will make up for him. It is insignificant, but Li Shi is the pillar of Da Zhou. If it falls down, the whole big week will be over!

This person must be insane, if he came in alone to save him, if something happened to him, then he would be the sinner of the whole Zhou Dynasty!

Su Cen was startled for a long time before realizing that he was sitting while Li Shi was still standing. Just as he was about to get up, Li Shi put a hand on his shoulder and pressed down again. Dang even was appeased.

"Eat yours." Li Shi said to Su Cen, and then turned his attention to Lu Xun, "We finally met."

"Heroes save the beauty, we want beauties but not country," Lu Xun looked over with a smile, but his eyes were frighteningly cold, "I can't see that you are still a lover."

Li Shi's expression was calm, he didn't have the consciousness of giving in to others at all, the hand with the finger wrench was still lightly resting on Su Cen's shoulder, and he stood there and said, "How do you know that I don't want Jiangshan anymore?"

Lu Xun smiled coldly, "You can go out when you are here?"

"What's wrong with a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair here? What can come in and can't get out." Li Shi replied calmly, "Or you finally stopped doing those sneaky things, and want to have a fight with my people ?”

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. In all fairness, now is not the best time to start a war.

This stronghold is one of the largest and most hidden strongholds of the secret door. If Su Cen hadn't broken in, he would have wanted to recuperate here for a while.It is true that the secret door has been severely damaged in recent years. What is more important is that there has been turmoil inside. The failure of several operations has caused people to be unstable. Some people want to use the banner of the secret door to start a new pot. It was precisely because he planned to tidy up the interior, and by the way, to support a group of his own people, to replace those old things with their own ghosts, and never wanted to be disrupted by Su Cen's appearance.

Using Su Cen to attract Li Shi, it can't be said that it was a surprise or a fire, the main reason is that he still really can't touch Li Shi now, once Li Shi is killed, the secret door will be exposed, Li Shi was killed by the rebellious party, it is the pacification The great heroes of the rebellious party who sacrificed their lives for the country have outstanding scenery and are admired by all people, but the secret door will become the target of public criticism for a while, and become a street mouse, and everyone shouts and beats them.At that time, maybe those people in the imperial court who have their own ulterior motives will use him as a bait to seek high-ranking officials and power, and it will be difficult for the secret door to gain a foothold for a while.

None of this was what he wanted.

What he wants is for the world to see Li Shi's true colors clearly, to let those who put him on the altar with their own hands to pull him down, and let him have a taste of what it means to be betrayed by others, what life is better than death.

It would be too cheap for him to die here.

And, most importantly, he didn't know how many people Li Shi had brought.

The men on patrol on the way into the village were killed before they came back to report the news. He also received the news after Li Shi entered the village.

Judging by Li Shi's leisurely attitude, he should at least have Tuduo's three guards by his side. If he really wants to fight head-on, I'm afraid it will hurt many people.

Although he knew that he had an underground chess game as a way out, and that he would leave at last, but he couldn't bear to let Li Shi wander around his own territory so confidently!

To entangle again and again, to fight or not to fight, this is a question.

Hearing that Li Shi still has Su Cen as his backup, he felt relieved, but after thinking about it, he was confused. Li Shi had always been planning strategies, and when he really put himself in a dangerous situation, since he was able to come in with such a sure chance, Naturally, it can also go out unscathed.

Watching the two old foxes pay attention to each other, Su Cen took a bowl of porridge and drank it unhurriedly. After taking a sip, he shouted in his heart: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Of course, the sudden visit to me didn't come empty-handed." Li Shi seemed to know Lu Xun's hesitation, and said first, "Zi Xu, you have taken care of me for so long. As a thank you, I will return your son."

As expected, Lu Xun's expression changed, "Where is he now?"

"After Zixu and I go out, someone will naturally send him back."

On the surface, this seemed to be a sign of weakness. He put Su Cen back as a courtesy, and Li Shi returned his son to him, which was quite reasonable.But after careful investigation, he felt that this was a threat. As long as no one was released here, not only his son's life was in danger, but Tuduo Sanwei would not let him go.

It's just that I dare not move him.

While struggling, a man in black came to report: a Turkic team was entangled outside the gate, trying to approach the gate, and came to ask the gatekeeper for instructions.

"how many people?"

The man in black said: "About a hundred people."

"You actually brought the entire Tuduo Sanwei?!" Lu Xun squinted at Li Shi, "Back then, Tu Ashi's team only dispatched 150 people. Except for those who died in Mobei, the Tuduo Sanwei Are there about a hundred people left?"

Li Shi smiled lightly, "Discipline is not strict, if it drags on for a while, they may act without authorization."

Su Cen said again in his heart, "Your Majesty is mighty", it was the first time he saw someone threatening someone so modestly.

He had already finished his porridge, and now he had strength in his body. He looked up at Li Shi's face wholeheartedly. His mandible was long and sharp, and his nose was high. He seemed to have noticed his gaze, and the hand was on his shoulder Pat lightly.

Taking advantage of the competition between the two, Su Cen unexpectedly tilted his head and kissed that hand.

Li Shi smiled calmly, looked at Lu Xun and said, "Have you thought about it yet?"

"Okay, I'll let you go," Lu Xun finally let go, "but I want an exchange. When I let you go, you also have to let the dog back."

Li Shi nodded without hesitation, "OK."

The two vermilion lacquer gates opened slowly, and there were hundreds of Turkic men in military uniforms standing outside the gates. The swords were shining under the sunlight, and it looked quite magnificent at first glance.

Li Shi led Su Cen out from the door, and gave a slight nod to Qi Lin who was the leader. Qi Lin turned around and gave some instructions. After a while, a big man came out with a sack from behind and brought it to Li Shi.

As soon as Lu Xun raised his hand, the man in white behind him stepped forward to untie the sack and fished out a comatose person, it was Song Fan.

"What's wrong with the dog?" Lu Xun frowned.

"A little perspiration medicine, it's okay," Li Shi said, "Can we go?"

It was the first head-to-head confrontation, and the outcome was uncertain. Lu Xun waved his hand reluctantly, and watched Li Shi leave with Su Cen.

Tuduo Sanwei automatically gave way and escorted Li Shi to the front.

Su Cen first saw a few familiar faces, Qi Lin, Wu Chiha, Zuo Tu... The more he walked back, the faces became more and more unfamiliar. When he got to the middle, Su Cen suddenly realized something. They all froze.

This is not Tuduo Sanwei at all... At best, it can only be regarded as a quarter of Tuduo Sanwei, and the rest are just some villagers wearing barbarian uniforms. In the end, Su Cen even found that there were still people inside. There are gray-haired old people!

This turned out to be an empty city plan!

But seeing that Li Shi was as stable as a mountain, as if he was really surrounded by Tuduo's three guards, he was calm and relaxed, his back was like a mountain, and he remained motionless.

How dare this person just break into the main altar of the secret door like this, he never thought that if he is found out, there are only twenty people around him, that is a narrow escape!

Su Cen's palms were gradually dripping with cold sweat, and his whole body trembled a little, and he was afraid that his actions would be seen by others, so he could only grit his teeth, his whole body was stretched like a bow, and his forehead oozes out. Thin and dense layers of sweat came.

Suddenly a big hand pulled him over and wrapped it gently in the palm. The palm was warm and dry, and the bubbling heat continued to flow in, which inexplicably calmed down the trembling in his heart.

Walking all the way to the end without any danger, Su Cen felt a little relieved. Looking at the gray hair covered by the black pockets, and the faltering knife in his hand, he probably felt that these people were more nervous than him, so he couldn't help reporting it to others. With a comforting smile.

Lu Xun watched the group of people go away, thinking that Tuduo Sanwei is not very good. It is said that Turkic people are tall and heroic, but now it seems that it is just an exaggeration. Except for the front ones, the back ones They are not much different from the Han Chinese.

While in a trance, he heard a groan from his side, and tilted his head, only to see his own son waking up with a frown, motioning to the left and right, and quickly helped him up.

After Song Fan got up, he was in a daze for two seconds. He looked at his father, and then at the team going away. He opened his mouth only to realize that he lost his voice, and jumped up in a hurry.

Lu Xun acted as if he was frightened, and patted Song Fan on the shoulder, "It's all right, I'll use Su Cen to redeem you."

"Hurry up, chase after me!" Song Fan danced and pointed at the departing team, forcing out a few words from his chest, "There are not many of them, they are all fake!"
