    Chapter 830: West to East

    Although the mountain paths are not as smooth as the official roads built during the Sui Dynasty, and the carriages walking on the gravel-paved paths are slightly bumpy, they are still a bit more interesting. Looking at the mountains in the mountains is always better than the mountains.  The mountains look more charming from the outside.  Even though the path is bumpy, if the viewer is in a good mood, there is nothing to complain about.

    Hundreds of tall horses were guarding a carriage moving slowly. Perhaps because this trip was not a war, the expressions of the elite riders guarding the carriage were also quite relaxed. From time to time, some people whispered to each other.  Some people pointed to the distant mountain scenery and praised it. Everyone looked relaxed.

    But in fact, these hundreds of knights are not as relaxed as they appear on the surface.  Although this trip is not an expedition, it seems to be no less dangerous than an expedition.

    The person in the carriage they want to protect is too noble to allow any accidents.

    If there is a slight accident, it will cause an uproar.

    The carriage is pure black, extremely sturdy and spacious.  This carriage is more than twice as long as an ordinary carriage. Even if there are ten people in the carriage, it will not feel too crowded.  One or two horses would definitely not be able to pull such a huge carriage. What was being pulled was eight excellent prairie horses with extraordinary steeds.

    On one side of the carriage, a big black horse trotted along with the carriage. Perhaps because it was bored, the big black horse snorted from time to time.

    The formation of hundreds of cavalry advancing appears to be scattered, but in fact the division of labor is clear.  These hundreds of people are the best ones carefully selected from the hundreds of thousands of elite knights. Each of them is an elite who has claimed many lives in his hands.  These hundreds of people were on the outside, and walking close to the carriage were twelve swordsmen in blue shirts.

    With Tiqi and the swordsman in green shirt, the identity of the man in the carriage is already revealed.

    The big black horse flicked its tail in boredom, looking at the carriage from time to time with dissatisfaction in its eyes.  The car curtains opened, and a handsome face appeared in front of the big black horse.

    "If you dare to crash into a car again, I will stew you and eat you meat tonight!"

    The most handsome man in the world actually threatened a horse, but the horse snorted aggrievedly and turned its head away from him, as if it understood.

    Li Xian smiled, retracted his head into the carriage and said with a smile: "This beast seems to really understand human speech. It has been with me for eleven years. I will find him a baby when I return to Chang'an."  Make a beautiful mare with big eyes and double eyelids as your wife and let her live a good life."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The big black horse outside seemed to have heard these words and barked happily twice.

    The people in the carriage suddenly laughed. Daxi Changru, who was lying in the carriage with a blanket covering his body, laughed and said: "I still remember that on the unknown mountain in the north of Saibei, the people in the blood ride, including Tiezhu  The four of them, including Wolf, and of course me, were all a little curious as to how this big dark horse came into Zhongjian's eyes. At that time, we couldn't see anything about him as a great horse, but rather the fierce horses of the Blood Riders.  Everyone was obedient to it. I found out later"

    He ran away for a moment, but did not say anything because there was a woman in the car.

    It happened that Ashina was unaware of that past incident and asked what happened next.  Ou Siqingqing pulled her over and whispered something, and the little girl's face suddenly turned red.  She turned her head towards the window to look at the scenery, pretending to be nonchalant, which made people laugh.

    "Do you miss your sister?"

    Li Xian asked.

    Ashina nodded her head, but did not answer.  She didn't look back at Li Xian, and she didn't know if she was still shy because of what happened before, or because of something else.  The six or seven people sitting in this carriage were all smart and clear-minded. Except for Daxi Changru whose eyes were half-closed and did not see the fleeting reluctance in her eyes, almost everyone captured her keenly.  Something in the eyes.

    Ye Huaixiu took Ashina's hand and said nothing.  The warmth in her hands made Ashina feel very comfortable, so she glanced at Ye Huaixiu gratefully.

    "After leaving Yanshan Mountain, not far further north is the pasture of the Suotouxi people, but now it belongs to our great Khitan tribe, Da Aijin Ou Si Qingqing."

    Li Xian deliberately changed the subject, pulled up the car curtains and pointed outside and said, "I remember that when I came back with Iron Wolf and the others, we set a fire not far from here. That happened when I came back.  , the pasture should have been restored to life long ago, or there should be no traces of the fire that year."

    Daxi Changru squinted his eyes and smiled: "There are always many memories on this grassland, but memories are only in people's minds. People are old, but the grassland always seems to be full of vitality."

    Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, there was no such thing in those days."??You are together, and it¡¯s a bit regretful to think about it.  "

    Zhang Wancheng curled his lips and said: "What's the regret? If it's a regret, it's only their regret."

    Li Xian quickly flattered him and said, "It's just to make up for our regrets, so I brought you with me this time."

    "Oh, you mean this trip is entirely to make up for your regrets, and your grandpa and I are the tools for you to make up for your regrets?"

    Li Xian was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.  He looked at the smart women around him for help, but found that they all had gloating expressions.

    Ye Huaixiu gave Zhang Wancheng a thumbs up and praised: "sharp"

    Changsun Wugou praised: "Domineering"

    Ou Siqingqing thought about it for a long time but didn't know how to express it. Finally, she came up with a word and said quickly, not to be outdone, "That's enough for a man!"

    They were talking and laughing, and the four big men riding horses outside the carriage also laughed.  They were the Four Blood Tigers, and they once again followed Daxi Changru into the prairie.  The cavalrymen who were on guard at the periphery focused on observing the surrounding environment and did not dare to relax at all.

    But no matter how careful they were, they would not notice a group of people riding past in the opposite direction thirty miles away.  Those were thirteen women, dusty and dusty.

    Thirty miles away, Ashina Duoduo, who was urging her horse to catch up with the leader, said a little tiredly: "Miss, do you want to take a rest?"

    Ashina Duoduo wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the mountain that had appeared in front of him and said: "You can rest after you pass Yanshan Mountain and enter the pass. There is still a long way to go."

    Chang'an City

    Daming Palace North Yamen

    Shengtu Xiaohua handed a thick stack of papers to Xie Yingdeng who was sitting on the chair. She picked up the cup and took a sip of cold tea. She felt much better in her heart: "The list of people is basically complete. I have been here for the past few days."  After checking, all the spies secretly deployed by the Military Inspectorate are on the move, so no one should be missing. These guys think they are doing everything meticulously and properly. How could they know that not to mention the city of Chang'an, but also the whole world, if the Military Inspectorate is  If people want to investigate, how can something happen and they can¡¯t?¡±

    Xie Yingden smiled and read the thick list of people from beginning to end very carefully.

    "The three people with the Duke title involved in the matter were all veterans of the Li Yuan dynasty. Several heads of the Longyou family were afraid that they had lived too long. There were also almost 13 officials below the Marquis level.  Li Yuan's former subordinates. Most of them were also from the Longyou family. There were sixty-seven officials above the fifth rank, twelve above the fourth rank, and two above the third rank. There are only more than seventy names on this first page  There are at least two hundred names on every page at the back."

    Shengtu Xiaohua said: "There are thirty-six pages in total, and the names of the servants are not listed."

    "How many men are there?"

    Xie Yingdeng asked

    Shengtu Xiaohua replied: "One thousand, six hundred and seventy-eight people, including 261 elderly people over fifty years old and 299 children under the age of fourteen. There are many people from these wealthy families.  When foreign enemies serve, many people have already reached the positions of county magistrate, county magistrate, and even county magistrate and county guard. If they really start to take action, almost all the people in the Military Inspectorate will have to be dispersed. In order to ensure that people are picked up at almost the same time  , the spies who are far away will set off first, and the spies who are close will wait for a while."

    "Um"

    Xie Yingdeng nodded and said: "The city doesn't know that I'm back yet, and even Lord Du Ruhui and General Cheng Mingzhen don't know. After lunch, we sent a car to take them to Beiya. Make a few more circles,  Change to more cars.¡±

    "My subordinates obey your orders Why did you pick up the two adults after lunch?"

    Shengtu Xiaohua couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    Xie Yingdeng replied seriously: "No need to take care of the food."

    Shengtu Xiaohua couldn't help but spit out the cold tea she just drank, saying thank you in her heart It's rare for a big stall to have humor, but this humor can make people laugh to death once.  At the main stall of the Military Inspection Department, the helmsmen of the two yamen, the North Yamen and the South Yamen, which would have all the power in the future, were planning a meal.

    Xie Yingdeng himself also laughed, waved his hands to stop the laughter and said: "Send the news to Jiangdu as quickly as possible, and ask Wanyulou to send people to arrest those aristocratic families in the Jianghuai area who are officials there. That Zhengli Sect is just  It¡¯s just a big-ass sect. He¡¯s gained a lot of weight these days because of his idle time, so it¡¯s time to let him do some serious work.¡±

    "Here"

    Shengtu Xiaohua responded softly.

    Xie Yingdeng picked up another list from the table and handed it to Shengtu Xiaohua and said: "You just gave me one, and I will give you a list now. It is not as good as the list you gave me."?There are so many people, but the weight is not light at all.  "

    Shengtu Xiaohua took the list and looked at it briefly, then her face changed: "So many? There are thirty-nine people from the fifth rank general and above, and there are more than a dozen from the fourth rank general and above."

    Xie Yingdeng waved his hand and said: "Almost everyone is dead at this time. The spies caught up with me before I returned to Chang'an City with the news. My lord plans to capture these people after the Mingzhou City is broken. Those people from aristocratic families  The tactic of siding with both sides has completely annoyed the lord. Take this list of people and send people to keep an eye on them from house to house. No matter whether it is a servant or a relative at home, no one can get away. Keep an eye on it first and wait for the people sent by the lord to arrive.  We will take action after Chang'an."

    When he said that the aristocratic families were on both sides, his tone was natural, as if he had forgotten that he was from the Xie family in Jiangnan, which was once one of the most famous families.

    "I obey my orders."

    ¡°There¡¯s one more thing.¡±

    Xie Yingdeng thought for a while and then ordered: "How many black robes are guarding the courtyard where the man in the palace lives?"

    "Forty-eight people rotate."

    "After the matter is settled there is no need for these forty-eight people to stay. They actually have people passing the news back and forth under the nose. Even if they are not bribed, it will be useless. When the matter is settled, these forty-eight people will be transferred out to Hedong.  When I do something, I will arrange for Tiqi to wait halfway."

    "Here"

    Shengtu Xiaohua felt a little unbearable in her heart, but she quickly put it behind her: "I just don't know what the person in the palace is planning. How can he get out if he is so trapped?"

    Xie Yingden shook his head and sighed: "He can't get out no matter what, unless he lies down."

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The deserted little yard is covered with weeds, and from time to time a few crickets jump out and appear in people's sight.  This small patch of grass in this small yard is their paradise and home.

    Emperor Li Chengde moved a small stool and sat down at the door again, looking at the crickets jumping around in a daze.

    The palace maid with thick hands and feet sat down next to him and followed his line of sight but didn't know what the emperor was looking at.  Her hand was playing with the pill in her cuff, which was much more poisonous than the one Li Chengde had hidden. She smiled and asked in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, are you afraid of death?"

    Li Chengde was startled, then nodded: "Afraid of death, who is not afraid of death?"

    The palace maid lowered her head, her ugly face flushed slightly: "I'm not afraid If I can stay with Your Majesty, I won't be afraid of anything."

    Li Chengde was shocked, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose when he looked at the palace maid's rough face.  He thought to himself that if something big could come true, it would be nice to agree to her and let her be the queen. Although she is ugly and vulgar, she treats me sincerely, which is the most rare thing.

    "I have to fight because I am afraid of death."

    Li Chengde raised his head and looked at the dazzling sun: "Crickets have a small home, but my home is the whole world. If this small yard is not my dragon's place, it can only be my grave. You bury me  To the west, I am buried in the east. At that time, the world is no longer my home, this courtyard is."
