"... Brother Qingque has been rescued? Great!"
In the Lizheng Palace, after receiving the news of Li Tai's successful rescue from Li Er and Queen Changsun, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Princess Changle looked overjoyed and excited. Changle even jumped up happily. She stepped forward and hugged Li Tai affectionately. Two broad sleeves asked:
"Father, please tell Changle how Brother Qingque was saved?"
Li Chengqian also looked at Li Er eagerly, even though he knew that Li Er would never lie about Li Tai's safety. Li Er said that Li Tai had been rescued, so Li Tai must be fine, but Li Tai had been kidnapped before. Li Chengqian also secretly analyzed Li Tai's situation. No matter how he analyzed it, he found that it was extremely difficult for the government to rescue Li Tai safely!
Now that he learned that Li Tai was actually rescued, he also wanted to know the specific details of the process.
Li Er smiled, rubbed Chang Le's head lovingly, and then took out a telegram from his sleeve. Of course, it was not the telegram he just received, but the first one sent by Li Junxian tonight. Li Er carried both telegrams with him. He handed the first telegram to Chang Le and said:
"I sent Li Junxian to lead Baiqi to sneak into Taiyuan City secretly some time ago in order to rescue Qingque. This is the telegram Li Junxian just sent back. It records in detail the entire process of their rescue of Qingque today. You guys You can take a look!”
Chang Le looked happy and quickly reached out to take the telegram from Li Er, not forgetting to say: "Thank you, Father!"
While talking, Changle had already opened the telegram, walked up to Li Chengqian, and began to read the contents of the telegram.
Li Chengqian stood beside Chang Le and looked down at the telegram in Chang Le's hand.
"The last general, Li Junxian, reports to Your Majesty: Today at three o'clock in the morning, the last general will bring a hundred cavalry..."
The telegram was a "good news" sent by Li Junxian to the Chang'an Palace when he rescued Li Tai from Tongfu Inn in the evening. It was also a memorial to "please take credit" for all the forces involved in rescuing Li Tai in Taiyuan City. The detailed process of Li Tai's rescue is all in it.
Chang Le and Li Chengqian looked at the contents of the telegram, their expressions first tense, then slowly turned into joy and deep surprise.
"Master Gae?"
After all, Chang Le has the nature of a little girl. At this time, she couldn't help but wonder: "Who is Master Jia'e? According to what General Li said in this telegram, Master Jia'e is not only profound in Buddhism, but also powerful in martial arts. Could it be that he is your father?" Are you sent to Taiyuan specifically to rescue Brother Qingque~?"
Although she has a brilliant nature and longs for freedom in her heart, and she even wants to go to Yanhuang Academy to play with Li Tai, Li Kehe... they are free, she is the daughter of the emperor after all, so it is inconvenient for her to leave the palace often, even if she has the opportunity to leave the palace occasionally. Playing, it is impossible to play near Yunshan without a very legitimate reason, so she naturally does not know that Jia'e is the original Du'e Lord of the Tianlong Sect!
Li Er smiled and said nothing, and Li Chengqian explained: "Changle, do you still remember that when the Tianlong Sect was destroyed, your father gave the Master Du'e of the Tianlong Sect to Xiaoxuan as a domestic slave?"
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian had much more freedom than Changle and had many more channels to obtain outside information, so he knew the "inside story."
"Of course I know this! But what does this have to do with Gae? Could it be that Gae is...?"
Changle nodded first, and then she thought of a possibility and couldn't help but widen her bright eyes.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "That's right! Jia'e is Du'e. After Du'e returned to Yunshan with Xiaoxuan, he changed his name to Jia'e and stayed in Yunshan to protect Yanhuang Academy Zhouquan. I didn't expect him to show up this time. Went to Taiyuan. It must have been Xiaoxuan who sent him there, right?"
At the end of the sentence, Li Chengqian couldn't help but turn his eyes to Li Er.
Only now did he realize that there were many things he didn't know. Obviously, Li Er must know much more information than he did!
"Cheng Qian, you guessed it right! This Gae was indeed sent to Taiyuan City by Li Zexuan! And he was sent before Qingque's accident!"
Li Er nodded, confirming Li Chengqian's guess, and said: "Because Jia'e is a master and has many extraordinary methods, Li Zexuan sent Jia'e to Taiyuan in order to secretly protect the safety of Yanhuang Academy and his party, so as to To prepare for the unexpected, it really worked at the critical moment!"
"Wow! Brother Xiaoxuan... Marquis Yongan is so awesome! Brother Qingque can get out of trouble safely this time, thanks to Marquis Yongan!"
Chang Le had a look of joy and a little bit of pride, as if she had benefited from Li Zexuan's miraculous calculations. Of course, Li Zexuan had never let her down and always helped her when she was sad and desperate. Come to hope and light!
Then she seemed to realize that the title "Brother Xiaoxuan" was a bit too affectionate, and Li Er looked at her more carefully. She blushed, quickly changed her words, and pretended to be calm.
"This time Li Zexuan has established great achievements! However, Qingque is a student of Yanhuang Academy. As the headmaster of Yanhuang Academy, he has the responsibility to protect the students!"
Li Er said calmly, showing no intention to reward Li Zexuan greatly because of this incident.
"oh!"
Changle's eyes wandered, and a trace of disappointment flashed in the corner of his eyes.
This trace of disappointment happened to be captured by Queen Changsun on the side. After all, she was a woman who came from girlhood. Queen Changsun could still feel the emotion buried in the girl's heart, which made her feel a little worried.
Li Chengqian didn't notice these details. He thought about it, cupped his hands towards Li Er and said:
"Father, during the day, I heard from Xiao Ke that over at Yanhuang Academy, Mr. Yan had guessed that the academy and his party had encountered an accident in Taiyuan, and invited Xiao Ke to the academy for questioning. Xiao Ke had concealed it at that time. However, he had no choice but to inform Mr. Yan of some news from Taiyuan.
Now that Qingque is out of trouble, I wonder if I can make a copy of this telegram and send it to Xiao Ke, so that he and Mr. Yan will not worry about it! After all, Mr. Yan is old! "
"Can!"
Li Er nodded in response, paused for a moment, patted Li Chengqian's shoulder with a pleased expression and said:
"I heard from Zhao Song that Xiao Ke also summoned a group of wealthy businessmen from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce during the day to urgently deliver a batch of food to Taiyuan City to prevent the lack of food in Taiyuan City due to the long-term closure of the city and the instability of the people in the city! How many of you brothers? Father is very pleased that people can now unite in harmony and help each other! When I grow old, I hope that you three brothers can do the same and work together to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
Lao Li is really relieved. They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. This is true. If it had been two years ago, if Li Chengqian and Li Ke had learned that Li Tai was in trouble, they would not have tried to rescue him, let alone hide behind his back. It's good to have some fun in it. If this "abnormal" brotherly relationship continues to develop, the tragedy of the "Xuanwumen Incident" may not happen again!
"My father is wise and mighty, and he will never grow old! He will surely make the Tang Dynasty more majestic than any previous dynasty!"
Li Chengqian quickly bowed.
"Hahaha! I will lend you some good words!"
Li Er laughed, then looked at Empress Changsun and Chang Le and said, "Now that Qingque has escaped from trouble, please don't worry too much, Guanyin! Changle, you have been spending time with your mother recently. She has been doing something about Qingque these days." I can’t sleep or eat well. Father still has some memorials to approve, so I won’t accompany you!”
"Father, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother!"
Chang Le chuckled and Fu Shen said.
"Um!"
Li Er nodded, turned and left Lizheng Palace.
Li Chengqian was anxious to pass the news of Li Tai's rescue to Li Ke. He also quickly said goodbye to Queen Changsun, left the Lizheng Palace, and headed towards the East Palace.
… … … … … … … …
"Your Highness! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter, saying that you must read it in person!"
In Chang'an City, outside a wing of Yanhuang Bank's headquarters, Li Ke was sorting out the business records of the nine surnamed Hu merchants in Yanhuang Bank near Chang'an City in recent months. Suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a close call. Wei's report.
"Brother? Bring it in!"
Li Ke was confused at first, and then said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The warrior outside the door pushed open the door and sent a lacquered letter to Li Ke with both hands. Li Ke reached out and took it. Without saying anything, he opened the letter and read the contents.
Due to the long period of counting accounts, Li Ke's reading speed was extremely fast. In a few breaths, he roughly read the contents of the letter. His serious face suddenly showed deep joy:
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
He rushed to the guards in front of him who had not yet had time to retreat and ordered: "Quick! Prepare your horses! I want to go to the academy!"
The guard was obviously stunned, and then he clasped his fists and said, "But Your Highness, there is a curfew in the city at this time, and the city gate has been closed!"
It's almost Hai hour now, and the four gates of Chang'an City have long been closed.
Li Ke looked at the sky and understood that what the guard said was true, but he really couldn't wait any longer. You know, Yan Silu was probably still worried about things in Taiyuan over at Yunshan!
When he thought that the old man was already old and could not sleep because of the safety of Li Tai and the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy in Taiyuan, Li Ke couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter! Let's let it go!" The city gate guard can use the hanging basket to send me out of the city! I will go to my father to explain it later!"
"But... I obey my orders!"
The guard wanted to say something more, but when he saw Li Ke's firm eyes, he could only clasp his fists and accept the order.
Two quarters of an hour later, three people and three cavalry appeared outside Yanxing Gate, running towards Yunshan by the light of torches.
Li Kegui was the prince, so his bodyguards naturally did not dare to let him go out of the city alone, and it was still late at night. In this way, Li Ke took two elite guards and ran to Yunshan Mountain overnight.
Thanks to the spacious cement road built between Yunshan and Chang'an official roads, if it were still the narrow mountain road with bumps and bumps like before, the guards of the Shu Palace would not dare to take Li Ke on the road at night, otherwise they would accidentally People and horses will be thrown into the ravine.
… … … … …
Over at Yunshan Villa, Yan Silu is indeed not asleep yet. The old gentleman is sitting alone in the study on the second floor. In front of him is the physics textbook for the second grade of the academy.
Although Yan Silu was a great Confucian, he was not a narrow-minded "defender" of Confucianism. He was tolerant of other doctrines, otherwise Li Zexuan would not have hired him to take on important responsibilities at Yanhuang Academy.
Although the old gentleman is not good at other subjects in the academy except Confucian classics, he will often look through the textbooks of those subjects when he has free time. After all, he is the "teaching director" of the academy and is in charge of the teaching work of the academy. How can he " What about "partial science"
Of course, he often finds some of the things in the "Physics" and "Chemistry" textbooks quite interesting, and he often marvels at Li Zexuan's erudition.
But tonight, the old gentleman was flipping through the "Physics" textbook in the academy, but he didn't find it interesting at all. He couldn't even read a word in the textbook.
He is worried about the safety of the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy in Taiyuan City!
During the day, after a lot of knocking and knocking, he finally got Li Ke to reveal the truth to him. Something really happened in Taiyuan!
Although Li Ke did not tell him in the end who was in trouble in Taiyuan and what happened, he still couldn't help but worry because all the teachers and students in Taiyuan were all engineering elites from Yanhuang Academy. Can't afford the loss!
To this day, Yan Silu has long regarded Yanhuang Academy as his own child, and as a place where he can shine in his later years. Moreover, after a year of "influenced by what he has heard and seen," Yan Silu's attitude towards engineering has already greatly improved. On the other hand, he believes that engineering will definitely change the world, and the teachers and students from the academy in Taiyuan are the first batch of outstanding "engineering seeds" in the world. They can change the Tang Dynasty and make the Tang Dynasty a better place. Strong hope!
Nothing can happen to any of these teachers and students!
Especially Li Tai!
Not only because Li Tai is the person with the most profound engineering attainments in the academy besides Li Zexuan, but also because Li Tai is a prince, one of Li Er's favorite princes. If something happens to him in Taiyuan, Li Erwan will be angry at Yanhuang Academy. , then the academy is entirely likely to suffer disaster!
This is what Yan Silu never wants to see!
"Alas~!"
Yan Silu let out a long sigh. He stood up, stretched his somewhat stiff legs, and walked slowly to the window. He looked at the academy with lights still on in the distance, but his heart had already drifted hundreds of miles away. Taiyuan City outside!
"Drive~! Drive~! Drive~!"
I don't know how long it took, but a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats interrupted Yan Silu's thoughts. Yan Silu calmed down and looked towards the direction where the horse hoofbeats came from. He saw three people holding torches and riding towards Come to the other courtyard where he is!
"Mr. Kong Gui! Good news! Good news!"
The three horses rushed to the front of the courtyard. The leader jumped down with great strength and shouted to Yan Silu by the window on the second floor. He must have seen Yan Silu by the window from a distance.
"It's Xiaoke! Come in quickly!"
Yan Silu's eyesight was not as good as Li Ke's. With the help of the "street lights" outside the courtyard (Electricity has been supplied to Yunshan Mountain and street lights have been installed in some key places) and Li Ke's voice, Yan Silu finally figured out that he was out of the building. He quickly said the identity of the person below and walked quickly downstairs.
