Under Chen Qinghan's surprised gaze, Bai Chun subconsciously turned his elbows outward and said: "This Li Jingye is too stupid. Doesn't he know how to get ready to find out about you? He is as stupid as a pig."
Li Hong glanced at Bai Chun and said disdainfully: "You think Li Jingye didn't expect that we have been under their surveillance since we left Hangzhou..."
"Then why don't they know about our movements?" Bai Chun turned his head, looking confused, feeling like he didn't know something.
"King Luo Bin has been placed in front of Li Jingye for several years. We took a small road and entered Zhechong Mansion. If not for King Luo Bin to help us cover, we would have been discovered long ago." Li Hong stretched again, regardless of the fact that there was another person in the carriage. Chen Qinghan slowly leaned into Bai Chun's fragrant arms, closed her eyes and said calmly.
After King Luo Bin contacted King Xu Li Sujie, he got the news about Li Hong before Li Hong went north. The Futu Camp led by Lawless also contacted Queen Luo Bin, and King Luo Bin arranged three thousand people in Yangzhou like a secret. A place in the city is located inside the mansion.
It can be said that in today's Yangzhou City, when Li Jingyou and Li Jingzhen led their troops to Runzhou and Changzhou, within three to five days when the government soldiers were transferred here and there, King Luo Bin easily destroyed the three thousand pagodas. Unconsciously, he was put into Yangzhou City.
However, now the identity of the Three Thousand Buddha Battalion has become to protect Yangzhou, follow Li Jingye as the rear defense, and are always ready to rush to the reinforcements of Runzhou and Changzhou, and are on standby in Yangzhou City.
After Li Hong set out from Hangzhou and took a small road, King Luo Bin began to use the Futu camp led by Lawless to kill or capture all the scouts sent by Li Jingye along the way, or replace them with his people.
In short, Li Jingye's scouts on this line became a blind man unable to find Li Hong.
Therefore, Li Hong was able to appear on the official road outside Yangzhou City without Li Jingye and others being aware of it.
This is also the reason why Li Jingye and others in Yangzhou suddenly became nervous when they learned that Li Hong appeared out of thin air, thirty miles outside Yangzhou city.
The city gate of Yangzhou City has often been closed from time to time in the past few days, so when it opened without warning today, the people walking through the side door at the city gate couldn't help but feel a little bit surprised.
Although ordinary people like them can't influence anything, the information that Yangzhou Governor Li Jingye's rebellion has been secretly spread in Yangzhou City.
This has also become a sensitive topic that people in Yangzhou City discuss quietly after dinner or late at night.
It's just that these things don't have much to do with them, and they don't even care about the results.
What they have to do is how to keep their families safe and their property from being invaded if Yangzhou enters war.
Some wealthy people in Yangzhou City, after being controlled and monitored by Li Jingye early on, whether they were willing to follow or forced to follow, had to spend a lot of money to support Li Jingye.
It is no longer possible to leave Yangzhou, unless you are willing to keep the business that you have been running in Yangzhou for many years.
The literati dared not speak out, but faced with the banquets hosted by the Yangzhou governor every three days, they had to bite the bullet and attend. Coupled with the secret instigation of some evil-minded immortals from the Five Surnames and Seven Watches, the literati had no choice but to stay in Yangzhou. Therefore, Li Jingye took the lead.
Especially with the arrival of Pei King Li Xian, it was like a magic needle that fixed the sea. Accompanied by Li Jingye, Cao King Li Ming, Yue King Li Zhen, and Langya King Li Chong, he appeared several times in front of the people of Yangzhou, which caused some confusion. Yangzhou has become a little quieter.
Some people, wealthy businessmen, literati, etc. who planned to leave Yangzhou to go to other places to escape the war, temporarily put aside their fear of war because of the appearance of princes like Tang Dynasty, and began to wait and see the situation in Yangzhou.
The reason why Li Hong chose to take the risk and enter Yangzhou alone was because he did not want the war to happen in a wealthy place like Jiangnan.
Although Datang had a lot of money now, rebuilding a war-torn city would cost more than just silver.
The most important thing is that the sequelae and instability caused by the war will hang over the peaceful and prosperous Yangzhou City for a long time.
Li Hong would rather suppress ten local riots than trigger a large-scale war in this wealthy land.
War not only wastes people and money, destroys cities, but also makes more people with evil intentions despise the court, despise laws, and challenge the authority of the ruler.
No one is sure that in Jiangnan, an important place where all the successors control local dignitaries, after Li Jingye was suppressed by the Tang Dynasty troops, there will be Xu Jingye, Wang Jingye and the like. of.
Therefore, the best way is to enter Yangzhou in a desperate way, and while dealing with them, try to quell a riot without breaking the government.
"Your Highness, we're here." Bai Chun looked at the familiar city, looked at Chen Qinghan who looked worried next to him, and said softly in Li Hong's ear.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Yu Tuqi ran over quickly. Before he could report, he heard Li Hong say: "Just make way for them to come over."
"Yes, Your Highness." Yutu Qi said respectfully.
Then, the one hundred prince guards in front of the carriage made way for a road in the middle and stood on both sides of the road with bright eyes.
Ministers: Li Ming, Li Zhen, Li Chong, Li Jingye, the governor of Yangzhou, Wei Siwen, the governor of Yangzhou, and King Luo Bin, the official of Yangzhou who joined the army, met His Highness the Crown Prince.
There were various sounds outside the carriage. Sitting in the carriage, Li Hong glanced at Bai Chun strangely. The only thing he didn't hear was the voice of the old Liu Pei King Li Xian!
Could it be that Lao Liu is too arrogant? Or do you have something to rely on? Or is it that he has returned to Chang'an, or is avoiding seeing him
Bai Chun looked at Li Hong's eyes, shook his head slightly, and said softly: "He didn't leave, at least before we came, King Pei didn't leave yet."
"It's also possible that he left through other city gates now." Li Hong patted Bai Chun's beautiful face, and then said to the outside: "Go directly to Manjiang Garden."
Li Hong had no intention of getting out of the car to meet them. Since it was just a show, he would do enough. It would not be a bad thing for him to let them spend more time on guard.
What's more, the more calm and collected you are, the more they will think about problems in a direction that is not good for them, so why not do it yourself.
"Yes, Your Highness." As the master, Li Jingye, the governor of Yangzhou, was naturally the one to answer and lead the way.
In the spacious carriage, Chen Qinghan looked at the familiar Yangzhou city wall and was gradually left behind. Familiar buildings began to appear in his sight, and his worries about Chen Jingzhi became more and more serious.
"Your Highness, this little girl asks Your Highness to save my father." Chen Qinghan suddenly knelt down in the carriage and said.
"Get up first. I promise to let you see your father today. But don't be too eager. The sage said: You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. So you'd better calm down and be patient." Li Hong said After the word "sage", I didn't know how to comfort him, so I had to change to a common saying in desperation.
Bai Chun rolled her eyes at Li Hong charmingly. If this was what the saint said, wouldn't it mean that the saint was walking all over the streets.
Chen Qinghan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile, but he was worried about how he could really smile, so he could only nod silently and pray that his father was still alive.
Looking at the anxious Chen Qinghan, Li Hong had to say to her seriously: "I know you are very familiar with Yangzhou and even the prison, but if you really want to save your father, I hope your father is alive to see you. "You'd better not make any small moves. From now on, you can't leave Bai Chun even half a step."
"This..." Chen Qinghan raised her head and looked at Li Hong in astonishment. There was a trace of surprise written on her beautiful and graceful cheeks. After thinking for a while, she said: "Yes, Your Highness, I will obey you."
"I hope you can really remember it." After Li Hong finished speaking, he continued to close his eyes and rest, but the shadow of Li Xian was always in his mind. Is it normal or abnormal for this guy to avoid him when he comes to Yangzhou
King Cao, Yue Chang, and King Langya all showed up, why didn't he show up
But no matter how he thought about it, Li Hong couldn't guess what Li Xian's motive was and what he wanted to gain.
The carriage slowly drove into Manjiang Garden, and the pavilion where they stayed for the night appeared again. Without waiting for anyone's orders, a sound of neat footsteps was heard.
In a short while, after Li Hong's carriage stopped at the entrance of the pavilion, the guards of the entire pavilion were replaced by Yu Tuqi's people, and the original soldiers were transferred away from the surroundings of the pavilion.
As King Cao and others saluted again, Li Hong then stepped out of the carriage with a smile on his face.
As Li Jingye, Li Ming and others expected, after Li Hong got out of the car, a white figure followed him. With Li Hong's support, he slowly stepped off the carriage.
What shocked Li Jingye was that when Bai Chun got out of the carriage as she expected, the graceful figure of another beautiful woman slowly walked out of the carriage.
After he blinked his eyes again and again and confirmed that it was Chen Qinghan, the smile on Li Jingye's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and his stiff face was filled with shock.
How can it be? The spies he sent to Hangzhou failed to bring back any news, which made him think that Chen Qinghan had disappeared from the world.
But I didn't expect that he would walk out of His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage so suddenly!
What shocked him even more was that when an old figure and a petite little girl appeared in his sight in the second carriage, Li Jingye froze completely on the spot.
Yang Yue!
