After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Xiao Yansui's carriage drove all the way to the outside of Chang'an City, she and Li Tan talked and laughed in the carriage, and even teased the beagle from time to time, it was quite leisurely.However, the whereabouts of the two of them naturally fell into the eyes of some caring people in Chang'an City.

In Princess Wan'an's mansion, upon receiving this news, Princess Wan'an's expression was gloomy and unpredictable. The incense that will be enshrined in front of the Sanqing statue in the hand.

Seeing this, the powerful palace maid next to her walked forward almost silently, handed the wet handkerchief to Princess Wan'an, and gently wiped off a little incense ash on her palm.

Princess Wan'an directly reached out her hand to take it over, and rubbed it against her palm twice. After a while, she said in a cold voice, "Are they heading in the direction outside Chang'an City? That's just right. Send someone to keep an eye on it." .”

The person who came to report raised his head subconsciously, wanting to explain, but after seeing Princess Wan'an's gloomy face, he hesitated to speak for a while.

It was the big court lady who went to clean the handkerchief again, and asked about the reason in private before returning to Princess Wan'an, and explained in a respectful and soft voice: "Then Xiao Liuniang brought a lot of people with her, look at the leader. The appearance of the person is exactly that of Xiao Song's guards back then, and many people from the Sixth Army of the Northern Yamen around Chang'an City knew him."

The implication is that there are too many people protecting Xiao Yansui around him, and it is almost impossible to do anything at such a time.

Princess Wan'an cast her sullen eyes over.

Over the years, the grand maid has also been used to seeing Princess Wan'an's stern appearance. Although she felt a little uneasy in her heart, at least on the surface, she was still able to calm down. She just persuaded softly: "Then Xiao Liuniang will not be here any longer. Then I have to leave Chang'an City again, in the past few days, opportunities are really difficult to find..."

"Then let's do it on her way back home!" Princess Wan'an stared at her coldly, her dark eyes seemed to have a tinge of chill, "Could it be, it's up to her to continue to show off in front of me next time? "

The big palace maid bowed her head and replied: "My servant has made a note."

Immediately, Princess Wan'an looked at the person who came to report just now, and scolded in a cold voice: "Keep watching, if there is a chance--"

"Yes!" The man quickly responded, although he was worried that besides Xiao Yansui, Li Tan from the Eastern Palace would also be traveling with him, but seeing Princess Wan'an's mood became more gloomy and crazy, the big court lady beside Princess Wan'an I didn't dare to persuade me any more.

On the other hand, at Duke Jin's mansion, the well-dressed man who also got the news of Li Tan and Xiao Yansui's travels frowned slightly, and said to himself, "I've made a note of this, and I'll wait for Mr. Xiang to come back." Finally, let him decide!"

Immediately, he heard the report from the man that behind Xiao Yansui's chariot and horses, there was a rather secretive group of people under Princess Wan'an adorning them far away, and the well-dressed man couldn't help being stunned.

"Princess Wan'an?" The brows between his brows were furrowed. Although his figure was brave and powerful, the well-dressed man, whose eyes were gradually showing signs of age, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, still a little puzzled, and said, "There is Wan'an in here." What's the matter princess?"

He couldn't help but think of the incident that happened in the Ximing Temple more than ten years ago. After a little thought, the man in a soapy suit also said in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on the person, but be careful not to startle the snake."

After the man took the order to retreat, only the well-dressed man was left standing alone, thinking hard but still not understanding what he meant, he just wrote down the matter and waited for Li Linfu to come back from the Xingqing Palace. ...

·

It didn't appear when it was in Chang'an city, but outside the city, in the autumn mountains and forests, the sun had just risen early in the morning, and there was still a faint mist lingering around.

Bean-sized dewdrops hung on the fading wildflowers and weeds in the valley. The wheels of the carriage rolled over, and the crystal dew slipped from the leaves, moistening the small piece of land under your feet.

The carriage finally stopped.

Li Tan just opened the car door, and the beagle smelled the fresh air in the mountains and forests, and hurriedly wagged its tail and poked its head out.

"Hey--" Li Tan was still trying to stop this fluffy guy, Xiao Yansui put a hand on his shoulder casually, and said with a disapproving smile: "Let it go! No run away."

Without Li Tan's obstruction, the beagle jumped off the carriage directly, and Li Tan followed closely behind, his clothes fluttering when he jumped off, without even waiting for the servant driving the carriage to remove the low stool.

Xiao Yansui had also put down the things in her hands, and followed her to the door of the carriage. She looked down at the low stool, and then looked up at Li Tan who was smiling and stretching out her hand towards her. In his palm, just as he was about to jump down as a matter of course, he was hugged directly and took two steps back.

Xiao Yansui just combed a simple ponytail, the long ends of her hair hung down from her shoulders, and a strand of hair just touched his cheek as it flew up, except for the itch that caught the bottom of her heart at that moment. The tail seems to have a hint of the extremely light citrus scent of a young girl.

When she landed lightly, she happened to avoid the footstool beside the carriage.

"..." The servant looked at Li Tan with complicated eyes, and silently put away the low stool again without saying anything.

Xiao Yansui was still pressing Li Tan's shoulder with one hand, and after landing, he patted him lightly, indicating that he had stood still, and asked him to let go of his hand.

Li Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and did as he did, and then took a half step back, just to put a little distance between the two people who were almost touching each other, but it was still her black and soft hair when she turned around and raised her head. Just enough to touch his chin.

The maple forest in the mountain was dyed red, and there were a few chirping birds in the forest, and the surrounding air and the soil under the feet were still slightly cool and moist.

The beagle seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly rushed out like an arrow leaving the string.

Li Tan, who was about to speak, was interrupted by the movement of the beagle: "..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yansui smiled softly, pulled his sleeves and followed in the direction of the beagle galloping away, "It may have found its prey, let's go and see."

"...prey?" Li Tan was slightly surprised.

"Well," Xiao Yansui was still holding his sleeve, and the two walked side by side, smiling and explaining simply: "It will go to the river to catch fish by itself, and it will also catch fish in the mountains. Catch the hare."

"..." After a short silence, Li Tan couldn't help but look at it with admiration when he thought about the force with which the beagle's tail had just been drawn to his leg.

The beagle was running at the speed of galloping, but Xiao Yansui and Li Tan were walking behind, except for the "rustling" sound of the beagle shuttling between the hills at the beginning. In a short time, it has disappeared.

Li Tan showed a worried look, but Xiao Yansui didn't take it seriously, shook his hand holding his sleeve slightly, and smiled meaningfully: "Let's go and have a look."

Li Tan was stunned, but he came back to his senses in an instant, nodded, and immediately responded: "Okay."

The two of them made an appointment at yesterday's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet to come out today. The original intention was to find a quiet place to talk. As for viewing the maple leaves, it was just a relatively common place picked at random during the dewy season in late autumn. .

Of course, even if you want to enjoy the red leaves, there are naturally places where gardens with good scenery gather outside Chang'an City.Xiao Yansui intentionally took the beagle with her when she went out, but from the very beginning, she found a reason and made plans to go to a mountain col with few people.

It's just that Xiao Yansui was still thinking about Princess Wan'an from time to time along the way, but when Li Tan was by her side, unconsciously, he had temporarily put aside his original purpose and focused all his attention on the matter. put it all on her...

At this moment, there must be no one around, and the large number of guards brought by Xiao Yansui stayed behind, so it was just right to say those words that had complicated reasons and involved many things.

"Well, An Lushan——" After walking a short distance, Xiao Yansui put down Li Tan's sleeves naturally, and looked back at his guards to make sure that they hadn't followed up before swearing. He continued in a low voice: "How does he look like these days in Chang'an City?"

"..." Li Tan blinked his eyes when his sleeves were loosened and he could no longer feel the slight pull on his arm as before, just in time behind the weeds and bushes in front of him was a slope , took her hand again, carefully led her to walk, and then did not let go, and then replied: "An Lushan arrived in Chang'an City a few months ago, but it was the same from the beginning to the end. group."

Prince Li Heng of the East Palace and Prime Minister Li Linfu are mortal enemies. Even though Li Tan has no official position and has not yet started to participate in the affairs of the court and China, he also clearly knows that An Lushan had just returned to Chang'an City a few days ago, and he had brought him with him first. Chongli went to pay a visit to Li Linfu.

After briefly talking about An Lushan's great treasures, being able to recognize Concubine Yang as his adoptive mother, flattering Xuanzong, and entrusting great gifts to Li Linfu and other ministers, Li Tan's words paused for a while.

He just stopped, turned around, lowered his head slightly to look into Xiao Yansui's eyes, and said with a curious smile: "I thought you were still thinking about Princess Wan'an's thoughts, but I didn't expect that you would ask me, An Lu. mountain thing."

Xiao Yansui was still holding one hand by him, and he didn't think about breaking free. He just waved the other hand casually, and then said: "Compared with Anlu Mountain, the matter of Princess Wan'an That’s really not worth mentioning.”

Li Tan's tone was gentle, but he smiled teasingly at her, "You've clearly remembered it for so many years..."

"Huh?" Xiao Yansui blinked her eyes, and simply raised her head to look into his eyes. She didn't smile at the moment, her pair of starry eyes were extremely bright, but at this moment they seemed particularly sincere, "Even if I remember it forever, Compared with the security of the Tang border, the personal grievances with Princess Wan'an are trivial."

Li Tan was taken aback for a moment, and then became serious again, "The fact that An Lushan has the intention of making trouble...do you think it's true?"

"Ninety-nine is not far from ten!" Xiao Yansui nodded. Although she didn't know enough about the history of the Tang Dynasty, objectively speaking, she did understand the inertia of history.

Although she has a complete science student's thinking, and she has always been in the aristocratic class here, she has no worries about the hidden worries in the Tang Dynasty. However, the development of productive forces in feudal society The process is generally fixed, and the outbreak of social conflicts is expected to happen sooner or later.

The "Anshi Rebellion" recorded in the history books, even if it didn't break out on An Lushan, and the fundamental problem was not solved, sooner or later, Datang estimated that there would still be a similar chaos.

Li Tan took her hand and clenched it slightly. After a while, he asked softly, "Where did the news come from?"

"Wang Zhongsi." It couldn't be said to be a vague memory of his previous life, so Xiao Yansui answered very simply.

"So it's General Wang..." Li Tan was thoughtful.
