Yan Li built a canopy over his eyes with his hands, and looked at the octagonal glazed pavilion on the top of the back mountain.
He vaguely saw three people in the pavilion, one man and two women, and he could tell that the man was Li Hai from his clothes, but the two women couldn't see very clearly, and he couldn't tell that one of them was Rong Changan, let alone be able to see. To know if she is safe or not.
"I have to meet the emperor. Three days, when you have decided, call me anytime. Remember, don't play tricks, otherwise Rong Chang'an will die."
…
At night, after the gold and iron horses, the depressed imperial capital returned to calm. On the tower of Jingyang Gate, beside the cold female wall, Yan Li fluttered in white, holding a flute, playing the familiar song "Like a Dream. Changji Taoyuan Deep Cave". The melodious, clear and beautiful tune was sent to the octagonal glazed pavilion in the back mountain with the evening wind.
The song sounds very relaxed and melodious at the beginning, but as it progresses, it becomes more and more painful, and finally stops with choking. The soldiers guarding the tower looked at Yan Li one after another, and even the strongest fighters couldn't help but be moved by the song.
"General Yan, we captured the capital, you should be happy, why are you sad instead?" asked a soldier beside him.
Yan Li looked at the soldier in surprise: "Why, you also know how to play the flute?"
The soldier smiled innocently: "I don't understand! But the prime minister played it so well that even the birds flying in the sky can hear it. Your song is very sad."
Yan Li smiled, looking at the octagonal pavilion on the back mountain outside a street, he seemed not talking to the soldiers, but talking to himself: "You can hear the song is sad, I wonder if that person heard it? "
"Prime Minister Yan, why are you here?" A hearty voice suddenly sounded from behind Yan Li, "I've been looking for you for a long time."
Yan Li saw that it was Song Qiang, so he asked with concern: "Did you encounter his stubborn resistance in other places in the capital?"
Song Qiang laughed loudly: "It's just like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Those imperial guards raised their hands and surrendered when they encountered me. - I received your notice and have sealed off the four gates. As long as that stupid king dares to take General Rong out of the city, The soldiers guarding the city gates will definitely stop them. I have posted portraits of General Rong and Hunjun at every city gate, and they cannot get out!"
Yan Li pointed to the back mountain: "I already know where Rong Changan is. She is on the opposite back mountain, and Liu Yiming and Li Hai caught her."
When Song Qiang heard this, he said loudly: "Then what are you waiting for, let's rush into the back mountain, arrest Hunjun and Liu Yiming, and rescue General Rong."
Yan Li frowned worriedly: "If we attack by force, they will be cornered, and they will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and take Chang'an..."
Yan Li didn't dare to think about that scene.
Song Qiang lowered his gaze: "You can't attack if you attack, and you can't let go, so what should I do?"
Yan Li's cold eyes were also very confused at the moment, "I don't know what to do either!"
Then, Yan Li told Liu Yiming's conditions today.
Song Qiang heard this, snorted, and said angrily: "Let Liu Yiming live? Do you still want to be an official for him? Serve him with delicious food and drink every day? Who does he think he is! Now in the capital, we have the final say!"
Yan Li said: "But Rong Chang'an is in their hands, if we don't agree to his conditions, he will be disadvantageous to Chang'an."
Song Qiang raised his eyebrows like a knife: "Could it be impossible to agree to all his conditions?"
"I'm wondering if there is a better way to save Chang'an." Yan Li fell into deep thought.
Song Qiang slapped the female wall with one hand and knocked a brick down, "Damn, why are you so useless!"
The two pondered for a while, and suddenly, Song Qiang's eyes lit up, he took Yan Li's hand, and said happily: "Prime Minister, I have a plan, see if it works."
"What do you think!"
Song Qiang said: "Didn't Liu Yiming say, let us deliver food and drink to them every day? We will deliver it to him, get them anything delicious, and send them all the things in the imperial dining room. If we Put some dubious medicine in it, knock them down, and we will attack the back mountain in one fell swoop, and rescue General Rong."
Yan Li thinks this strategy is good, but he has a worry: "If Chang An eats the food, won't he be poisoned too?"
Song Qiang laughed and said, "I didn't mention the medicine that can cause death, but the sweat medicine that can make people unconscious for several hours."
Yan Li thought about Song Qiang's strategy again, and thought it could be implemented.
"We sent people to bring food in. After they ate the food and the effect of the medicine took effect, and they all fell down, we opened the gate of the back mountain, and we led our troops to rush in and save Rong Chang'an!"
Song Qiang said: "It's best at night, it's good for us!"
The two went to the imperial dining room and asked the imperial chef to prepare good food and wine.
Song Qiang put a sufficient amount of Mongolian sweat medicine in all the meals and wine soup, and sent a dozen people to the gate of the back mountain, saying it was supper.
The imperial guards ran for a whole day without eating or drinking, and they were really hungry. Seeing so many delicious and delicious food delivered by Yan Li, their eyes turned green long ago.
Liu Yiming ordered the guards to open a gap that only allowed one person to enter and exit, and arranged for archers to prevent Yan Li from taking the opportunity to rush into the back mountain.
One of the soldiers carried two baskets, he untied the lid, and said to Liu Yiming: "The things in these two baskets are all for the emperor and queen!"
Liu Yiming poked his head and saw that the basket was full of good dishes, only for state banquets, and they were still steaming and fragrant.
"Put down the basket, and I'll take it to the emperor and empress."
Liu Yiming was also very hungry, so he reached out to grab a chicken leg without using chopsticks, and began to gnaw on it with relish. It wasn't until he licked a chicken leg clean that he carried two baskets to the palace in the back mountain.
"Concubine, this is Yan Li's filial piety to you, do you try it?" Liu Yiming lifted the lid of the basket and said to Zi Yan.
Zi Yan was thinking about something in her heart and had no appetite.
"You give the emperor and Rong Changan something to eat! If Rong Changan loses weight, Yan Li will be angry."
Liu Yiming then said viciously to Li Hai and Rong Changan: "Didn't you hear what the imperial concubine said? Come over for dinner!"
Rong Changan was also thinking about something, he had no appetite, and turned his cold and proud face to the side.
Li Hai was frightened and lost his appetite, so he shook his head, expressing that he would not eat.
Liu Yiming snorted coldly: "It's better not to eat, I will enjoy it alone."
Sit at the table and serve all the meals in the basket on the table. He also took out a jug of good wine from the palace cellar, opened the mud, and it was fragrant. Eating one chicken leg just now was not enough, but now I let go of my stomach and started to gobble it up. A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and within two strokes, I swallowed all the food and wine on the table.
Liu Yiming hiccupped and smiled at Zi Yan: "Concubine, you look at them here, I will go to the gate to see if the soldiers of the imperial guards are full, if they are not full, ask Yan Li to send some more Come in."
Liu Yiming came to the gate and said to Yan Li's soldiers who brought food in: "Go back, and bring over delicious food tomorrow morning. Tell Yan Li, if we can't eat well, Rong Changan can't eat well either. It won't look good when you lose weight, but don't blame me for not reminding him!"
The soldier who delivered the food said with a smile, "We must bring Master Liu's words with us!"
Liu Yiming ordered to open a gap to let the soldiers go out.
