Placid Chang'an

Su Cen's mind was empty for a moment, and after being overjoyed, his heartbeat became violently disordered. All the words were crowded in his throat, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Li Shi seemed to have already planned a strategy, and nodded his head lightly, "Get up."

Only then did Qi Lin lead a large group of people to stand up. This group of wolf guards who did not blink an eye on the battlefield of life and death rarely had a cloud of mist in their eyes, but it was not easy to explode directly in front of Li Shi. Eye sockets are red.

After being pleasantly surprised, Su Cen finally recovered her voice, and asked excitedly, "You...how did you..."

He blew up the Xingqing Palace at that time, and when he left, he was too flustered, he couldn't think of anything else, and he couldn't care about anything else, he almost left with a desperate decision.As a result, he really has no time and energy to take care of the remaining problems.

For example Tuduo Sanwei, for example Qu Linger, he didn't dare to think how Li Sheng would take his anger out on these people after he knew that he had tricked him.

Qi Lin nodded to Su Cen, "It was Ling'er who saved us."

"Linger..." Su Cen stepped forward, "How is Linger?"

"He's fine," Qi Lin thought of the person who had been sending him to the door and obediently waiting for him to go back, with a gentle look in his eyes. Cried."

Su Cen keenly captured a word: "Again?"

Qu Ling'er's master, Han Qi, the former head of the secret door hurting the door and the shocking door, was originally General Yunhui who followed Prince Chongde. Later, he escorted Li Sheng away from Beijing, took care of him growing up, and helped Li Sheng set up the secret door. Door.It's just that he didn't expect Li Sheng's ambitions to expand to this point. In the end, he thought that all the people in the world betrayed from the secret door, and his vitality was severely injured in the battle of Jietian Prison. In addition, he was disheartened and lingering in bed for a long time. After all, he couldn't hold on. Return to the earth in spring.Before he died, he handed over the secret method of breaking the secret door to Qu Ling'er and Han Shu, saying that it was a crime, but it also left them with a support that could live and work in peace.

All these things happened after Li Shi left the capital. It took a lot of time to talk about it, so Qi Lin could only shake his head.Said: "It's a long story."

Finally, Wu Chiha couldn't hold back any longer. The nine-foot-long man stepped forward and almost cried out, "Master, you have suffered so much and lost weight..."

Su Cen, who was still immersed in the joy of reunion just now, suddenly darkened, and squinted involuntarily, "Where did you lose weight?"

He has treated Li Shi like a master all the way, holding it in his hand for fear of falling, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, even if he went to the street to perform, he did not treat anyone badly, and at night there was also a bed warming service. It almost cured Li Shi's insomnia for many years.I'm afraid that the king regent is used to the days when he stretches his hands to eat and opens his mouth. He has honed his ability to serve others along the way. Anyone may suffer, but this master didn't suffer at all.

Wu Chiha didn't know that he lit the explosives, so he slapped his chest cheerfully, "It's okay, from now on, I'll take care of you!"

As soon as the little fox showed his sharp teeth, he was about to go up and argue with others.

Li Shi smiled lightly, stopped the person knowingly, and said to Wuchi: "What should I do, I don't need you to wait on me."

The big man looked at Li Shi aggrievedly, and he didn't understand what was wrong with him for a long time. After holding back for a long time, he finally choked out a sentence: "It's okay, sir, you're fine, it's okay, you're back."

After a word, everyone fell silent.

Originally thought that the battle years ago was life and death, they could only obey the decision Li Shi made, even if they were asked to die.

I am grateful that there is still such a person who dared to go against the wind, turned the tide and fell immediately, and just exploded such a ray of life.

Qi Lin led a large group of people to kneel down again, but this time it was aimed at Su Cen. A group of people held their swords and nodded, "Thank you Mr. Su!"

The little fox, who was still aggressive at first, was bluffed by this battle, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Li Shi's heart was slightly touched. Back then, he brought these Turkic people back from the barbarian land, and suddenly came from the bloody battlefield to the warm and soft jade city of Chang'an. Although they didn't say anything, this group of people Due to the wolf nature in human beings, these nobles in Chang'an city who have never seen the wind and sand can't catch their eyes.

Su Cen was the only one besides him who made this group of people willingly kneel down.

It's a pity that the person involved didn't have the good fortune to enjoy it, and looked at Li Shi with a look of panic, with a rare expression of panic between his brows.

In the end, it was Li Shi who came forward to make a rescue, "Well, this is not a place to talk, let's find a place to settle down and talk."

Qi Lin led the way into a seemingly ordinary small courtyard, but unexpectedly, there was something special inside. The decoration and arrangement seemed ordinary, but the details were carefully crafted, exuding a subtle and simple atmosphere.

Qu Ling'er was the first to greet her, and before she could say "Brother Qi", she was turned into a quail in shock.

Fortunately, Su Cen was well prepared, and smiled at others, "Why, I only know you, Brother Qi, but not Brother Su?"

The people in the room who heard the movement came out, and it was no accident that they became the same type of quail as Qu Linger, and they opened their mouths for a long time without saying a word.

Qu Ling'er came back to her senses, her eyes turned red instantly, she stepped forward a few steps and hugged Su Cen tightly, refusing to let go.

It's been a long time since they parted. He hasn't seen Su Cen for more than a year.

"Okay," Su Cen patted Qu Ling'er on the back under the double pressure of Li Shi and Qi Lin, and smiled helplessly, "You broke my waist."

Qu Ling'er sniffed and let go, "I don't blame me for the waist."

Su Cen: "..."

When did the pure and innocent little white flower in his house become disabled?

After comforting Qu Ling'er, Su Cen nodded to the person in front, "Brother Ning."

Ning Santong, who was standing outside the door, also came back to his senses at this moment. He smiled back at Su Cen, straightened his clothes and saluted Li Shi respectfully, "I have seen you, my lord."

Li Shi Anxin received the great gift from others, looked around in a patrolling manner, and asked, "Is this place yours?"

"This is a property stored in the name of the steward of the Ning Mansion. It is a bit shabby to pick up the driver, but this is the only place that has not been found at the moment. I hope the prince will forgive me."

"You have a heart." Li Shi stepped forward slowly, took two steps but then stopped, and looked back at Su Cen.

Before fleeing, there was no prince or lord, and the two of them were walking side by side. Now that they are approaching Chang'an City, in front of everyone, Su Cen had to pick up the old rules, consciously lagging two steps behind Li Shi, to show respect .

Li Shi waited for two steps but no one followed him, so he stretched out his hand helplessly to give Su Cen a hand, and he didn't move forward until he pulled the person beside him.

Su Cen's fingertips were slightly hot, and she tried to twitch a few times without twitching. She could only be led forward by Li Shi, and when she entered the back room, she sat down next to Li Shi.

As soon as he sat down, he got to the point, Li Shi asked directly: "What's the situation in the city now?"

Ning Santong pursed his lips lightly, "Chang'an City has been closed for three days."

Li Shi frowned slightly, and Su Cen asked first, "Closing the city? What kind of city?"

"As early as half a month ago, the Empress Dowager Chu's funeral was over, and the court had already divided the camps. Li Sheng and the little emperor were in Taiji Palace and Daming Palace respectively. At that time, Chang'an City was already in chaos," Qi said. Lin Dao, "Just three days ago, all the twelve city gates of Chang'an City were closed down suddenly, and no one was allowed to go in or out. Soldiers and horses from all walks of life from Zhechong Mansion in Gyeonggi gathered outside Chang'an City. A dead city where there is no way out. Thanks to meeting Mr. Ning and finally sending us out, otherwise we might not be able to see the Lord now."

Ning Santong waved his hands as usual, "You don't have to be polite, this is what our Ning family does."

Li Shi smiled coldly, "It's really promising to divide the dynasty and manage the government."

Su Cen hastily advised, "You can't blame the little emperor. It's not easy for him to persevere without you and Queen Mother Chu around."

Qi Lin continued: "Chen Ling went over the wall to the city to find out the news the night before, and he hasn't come back yet."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden movement outside the courtyard door, and there was a "boom" sound as if something had hit the door panel, everyone's spirits were lifted, and Ning Santong was the first to stand up after a moment of surprise, "I'll go out and have a look. "

After Ning Santong went out, the room slowly fell silent. Su Cen quietly observed Li Shi's expression. Although Prince Ning looked calm and composed, Su Cen knew in his heart that he was worried about the little emperor. safety.

Chang'an City has been closed for three days, and no one knows what's going on inside, but it can be imagined that if the little emperor wants to welcome King Ning back to the court, he will naturally not welcome him behind closed doors.It was Li Sheng who closed the city gate, and his purpose was very clear, nothing more than forcing the palace to commit crimes, and coercing the emperor to order the princes.Li Shi said on the surface that this nephew was "no prospect", but the anxiety in his eyes was not fake.

Su Cen quietly stretched out his hands to cover Li Shi's big hands, without saying a word, but he clearly felt the abrupt knuckles on those hands soften gradually in his palm.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Ning Santong stepped in with a half-grown child in his arms.

Qi Lin stood at the door, glanced at the child's pale face, and was immediately startled: "Chen Ling!"

Han Shu and Qing Chen came in right after him, "We found him in the Yongding River on the outskirts of the city, and he had already soaked in the river all night when we found him."

Qi Lin took Chen Ling from Ning Santong's hand, and saw that the young man's face was pale, his whole body was shaking violently, and his thin lips were even less bloodless.

"I shouldn't have let him go," Qi Lin hugged him and gently put him on the bed, his hands trembling for no reason, "I should have stopped him..."

At the beginning when Chen Ling wanted to enter the city, he relied on his appearance as a half-grown child so that it would not be easy to attract suspicion. Qi Lin still remembered that when Chen Ling was leaving, he leaned against the door and made fun of him. They take Shun Fu Lou's elbow.

Ning San said: "The good doctors are all in Chang'an City. There is only one half-fairy in this village who pretends to be a ghost and knows a little bit about fur medicine."

Li Shi said without hesitation: "Go and find it."

Ning Santong immediately ordered Xiaohong to go to the village to find Zhang Banxian, and asked Wu Chiha to boil water. He leaned closer to the bed and looked at Chen Ling's injuries. As soon as he unbuttoned the two pieces of dark clothes, he took a deep breath. .

I saw two bony traumas on the thin chest, which had been soaked in the cold river water and turned white. The place closest to the heart seemed to be blocked by something before narrowly avoiding it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to live. until now.

"It's Chen Ling's Emei thorn." Qi Lin said.

Only then did everyone realize that the emei thorn that Chen Ling had been wearing all year round was gone, and there was still a ring on his hand.The Emei thorn is made of fine steel, it is extremely sharp, what kind of effort is needed to cut it off with one blow.

After a long time, Qi Lin pursed his lips and said a name, "Song Fan."

Su Cen frowned subconsciously. Song Fan's sword was indeed the fastest in the best hands he knew.

"I'm a foreman, and I've never done anything to a living person, but his injury really can't be delayed." Ning Santong hesitated for a moment with his hands open, gritted his teeth, and struck at the person who was still breathing weakly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he put his hand on it, Chen Ling woke up by himself.

The pair of eyes scanned around without focus at first, and then slowly fixed on a person. After a long while, the pale face was the first to turn red.

"Father..."

Li Shi stepped forward and patted those trembling hands that were about to be raised, "Okay, it's all right."

Chen Ling nodded his head heavily, tears rolling down his face.Their backbone is back, and they no longer have to worry about it. Those thick, breathless nights are finally coming to an end.

"Master... listen to me..." Chen Ling was dying, and every time he uttered a word, his chest hurt like it was about to burst, he swallowed before continuing, "Li Sheng... Li Sheng, he wants to rebel , he surrounded the Daming Palace with people... the little emperor and half-court officials were inside... Wen Xiang and Shizi led troops to resist, but they couldn't last long... The subordinates, the subordinates were incompetent, and failed to take the little emperor rescued..."

"You did a good job." Li Shi's eyes showed a rare warmth, "I'm back, leave the rest to me."

Chen Ling blinked, and the party burst into tears. He finally had a good night's sleep.

Leaving Ning Santong and Zhang Banxian who had just arrived to guard Chen Ling, Li Shi led everyone out of the room. The warmth that had just left the room disappeared instantly, and his eyes were sharp, as if he had a bit of murderous intent.

"Li Sheng surrounded the Daming Palace?" Qi Lin said, "I've been preparing for so long, and finally I can't hold back."

"I don't think so," Su Cen said, "On the contrary, I think Li Sheng was driven into a hurry. He thought that the prince would be back soon, so he took the first step."

Finally, he said to Li Shi, "He is afraid of you."

"Then he's right to be afraid." Li Shi's eyes were full of thick black mist, which Su Cen had never seen before. It belonged to Mobei, belonged to the battlefield, it was decisive to kill, and it didn't grow.

Qu Ling'er frowned and said, "But with us alone, let alone Daming Palace, I'm afraid we can't even touch the gate of Chang'an City."

"Who said you have to touch it?" Li Shi squinted, "There are ready-made soldiers and horses, why not use them?"
