Placid Chang'an

In the early morning of the second day, Su Cen was escorted all the way to the entrance of Dali Temple by Qu Ling'er. Although he repeatedly emphasized that the sun was shining in broad daylight, no one would dare to put him in a sack to carry him away in Chang'an City, but Qu Ling'er insisted on sending him away. Ah Fu He also joined in the fun, saying that he had a nightmare last night, and it was because the second young master of his family had an accident. Today is a bad day, and it is not suitable to go out.In desperation, for peace of mind, Su Cen could only agree to let Qu Ling'er send it over.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Xiao Sun rushing over. Su Cen frowned, and as expected, he heard the same opening remark: "It's not good, Mr. Su, something happened."

Su Cen: "The King of Beiliang is here again?"

"It's not."

Just as Su Cen breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Sun took a deep breath and continued, "Xiao Yuanchen is dead."

Dali Temple Prison.

Looking at the situation in the cell, Su Cen went blank for a moment.Xiao Yuanchen was hung on the beam by a piece of tattered cloth. It looked like it was made of prison uniforms torn and pieced together. His face was blue and his eyes were protruding, staring at Su Cen's current position.

What is even more eye-catching are the four large characters on the wall behind Xiao Yuanchen: Su Cen wronged me!

Written with blood dipped in it, every word is shocking!

Su Cen pinched herself severely, and forcibly pulled herself back from the dazed state.

He would rather believe that the mother and son came to claim their lives than that someone like Xiao Yuanchen would commit suicide.In fact, it is easy to verify, there is a clear difference between homicide and suicide by hanging, and you can find out if you put the person down, but the most urgent task now is not to verify whether Xiao Yuanchen died of homicide, but what will happen if Xiao Yuanchen dies.

The King of Beiliang had just entered Beijing yesterday, so it was no coincidence that Xiao Yuanchen died at this time.

Xiao Yuanchen is dead... What about the military power of the Beiliang Army?

Su Cen woke up suddenly. Yesterday he found out that the mother and son died at the hands of others. The first thing he thought was that someone was going to frame Xiao Yuanchen and frame him for imprisonment.What if that person not only wanted him to go to jail, but also wanted him to die?

To die at the moment of the handover of military power, the world is bound to be in chaos!

"Who else knows?" Su Cen asked.

Xiao Sun said: "Two jailers found out when they were patrolling the room in the morning. I arrived early, and they ran to the front office and told me one person, and then you came, my lord."

"Seal the prison, no one can come in and out! And seal the news, absolutely not let the news of Xiao Yuanchen's death spread!" After giving the order, Su Cen patted Xiao Sun on the shoulder, turned his head and strode out of the prison door.

He was wrong, he should have told Li Shi in time when he found out that the cause of death of the mother and son was different yesterday, if Li Shi had known earlier, would he have been able to arrange defenses, and there would be no result today.

Why not believe?Even Qu Ling'er can conclude without hesitation that Qi Lin will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, why can't he trust Li Shitan to be magnanimous?

No matter how bad it is to face it face to face, why are you blindly suspicious, but stop moving forward?

Su Cen snatched a horse from Si Cheng who had just entered the door.He was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was not good at equestrian skills, but from Dali Temple to Xingqing Palace, he almost crossed the entire Chang'an City. If he ran across with only his two legs, the day lily would be cold by then.

Stumbling onto the horse, Su Cen gritted his teeth and whipped the horse's butt hard.The horse immediately hissed, and took Su Cen out like an arrow.

Just half a month ago, he scolded Xiao Yuanchen for riding a horse in the street, Feng Shui took turns, and it was him in the blink of an eye.What's worse is that his horse riding skills are not as good as Xiao Yuanchen who grew up in Mobei, and he can only resign himself to fate except hugging the horse's neck and shouting to get out of the way.

Naturally, all the way along the way, what's more terrible is to go to Xingqing Palace, Dongshi is a must pass.Just as the gate of Dongshi City was opened, peddlers blocked the entrance. Seeing a person standing in front of the horse, Su Cen could only yank on the reins, and the horse's hooves flew into the air, throwing the person off the horse.

Su Cen was thrown into darkness, before he could slowly get up, he saw a broken sack falling from the sky and wrapping his head in it.

The next moment, his feet were off the ground, and before he could utter an exclamation, something hit the back of his head hard, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

The last bit of consciousness before coma: Today really is a big disaster, he was really in broad daylight and the universe was carried away in a sack.

Su Cen was woken up by the pain. The back of his head was throbbing with sharp pain. He should be bleeding. He could feel the stickiness on the back of his neck. When he wanted to touch it, he realized that his hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't move. .

He is tied up.

Su Cen calmed down after understanding his situation.Who will tie him up at this time?The results almost speak for themselves.But why did Xiao Yan tie him up at this time?Xiao Yan had just entered Beijing yesterday, and it made sense to go to Dali Temple to teach him a lesson in a moment of anger. Could it be that after a day, his anger did not drop but rose, and he was tied back to give him a lesson again?

The bad thought in Su Cen's mind gradually surfaced, Xiao Yan knew it, he knew Xiao Yuanchen was dead.

But how did he know?When he got the news early in the morning, he immediately blocked it, so where did the news about Xiao Yan come from?

Knowing that Xiao Yuanchen was dead, apart from him and the people from Dali Temple, only... the murderer who killed Xiao Yuanchen!

Su Cen first listened to the surrounding environment, and carefully opened his eyes after confirming that there was no one around.It was in a tent, there were voices outside, but it was not noisy, it should have already left Chang'an City, probably near the outskirts of the city.

Su Cen confirmed the injury. He felt a dull pain in the back of his head, and his hands were bound. Although he could see with his eyes, he was surprised to find that his mouth was sealed.

It was obvious that someone didn't want him to speak.

The interior decoration of the tent is not bad, there is a scimitar inlaid with gold on the knife holder, and the animal skin carpet is spread on the main seat.

Of course, he was not lucky enough to be thrown on the carpet, but lay directly on the cold ground.

This should be Xiao Yan's main tent, but why didn't Xiao Yan live in the post house prepared for the envoys in the city when he entered the capital, but went to the wilderness to camp by himself?

Su Cen listened quietly for a while with her ear on the ground, and was suddenly startled.

Rows of footsteps outside are neat and uniform, and there is a sound of throwing the ground, which is clearly a military step, and in the distance, swords meet, and slogans are loud, which is clearly a drill!

Xiao Yan didn't come alone, but brought an entire army and stationed outside the gate of Chang'an City. What exactly did he want to do? !

He has to go, he has to inform Li Shi that Xiao Yan, the king of Beiliang, has entered Beijing with a large army, intending to rebel!

However, before he could think of a way to escape, footsteps sounded outside the door, coming straight towards this side.

In a panic, Su Cen could only close his eyes and continue to pretend to be unconscious.

The man opened the tent door and came in. He came directly to him, didn't seem to care whether he was awake or asleep, and kicked him directly.

This kick must have used [-]% to [-]% of the strength, and it hit his soft belly. Su Cen was kicked and flew out, and his back hit the table behind him, and the cup on the table clattered to the ground.

Su Cen's eyes went dark when he was hit, and his viscera seemed to be shifted. A mouthful of fishy sweetness came up but was blocked in his throat, and all he could utter were a few low, negligible whimpers.

Xiao Yan didn't give him a chance to breathe, he stepped forward a few steps and kicked him on the chest again.

There was no way to retreat, the gravity squeezed the chest, Su Cen arched his body and coughed as hard as he could, the sharp pain climbed up his forehead along the bones of his chest, and he broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

All the inferences were verified, Xiao Yan did know about Xiao Yuanchen's death, that's why he vented his anger on him, he wanted him to pay for Xiao Yuanchen's life.

He had to talk, he couldn't just be beaten to death without saying a word.Struggling to support the ground with half of his arms, Su Cen tried his best to straighten up, and whimpered twice towards Xiao Yan.

In return, Xiao Yan slapped his hand furiously and fell to the ground.

Su Cen shook his head with a long, sharp cry, and struggled between pretending to be dead and trying again, gritted his teeth, twisted his body and sat up again, staring straight at Xiao Yan with sharp eyes.

Xiao Yan didn't hesitate at all, he raised his arms and greeted Su Cen.

Seeing the palm wind approaching the side of his face, Su Cen did not hide or move, and sobbed two words vaguely.

The big rough hand stopped at the side of Su Cen's face, and a scorching heat surged up and blurred his vision. He recognized it, and the shout was "Yuanchen".

Chang'an City, inside Xingqing Palace.

Qi Lin stepped into the Changqing Hall dressed in silver armor, bowed to the people above, and said: "Master, all the clothes are finished."

Li released his Zhu Bi and responded, "I know that old bastard will not change his mind and will not obediently hand over his military power."

"The spies who went to investigate outside the city reported that Xiao Yan brought over 2000 people this time. It is impossible to force the palace with such a force. It should be aimed at you, Lord."

Li Shi smiled nonchalantly, "I want to exchange Xiao Yuanchen for his military power in Beiliang, and he wants to exchange Dazhou Guoyun with me." He tapped his fingertips on the table, "Go and find out how he brought these 2000 people to the capital. Yes, on the road, anyone who knows what is known and does not report, and who secretly releases the Beiliang Army into the customs will be punished as conspiracy."

Qi Lin took the order with his sword in his arms, bowed and retreated.As soon as he left the palace gate, a guard hurried over and stood still in front of Qi Lin, someone outside the gate wanted to see him.

Qi Lin frowned at him and asked, "Who?"

The guard looked very troubled, he hesitated for a while before saying: "He said... he said it was your concubine... If you don't go out, he will... put, put you... no, no... nothing... Shout out in the street."

At this time Qu Ling'er was pacing back and forth at the gate of Xingqing Palace, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

After he sent Su Cen off early this morning, he wanted to buy a pig's ear and go back to have a drink while Dongshi was open. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Dongshi, he saw his brave and unparalleled brother Su fell on his back and fell to the ground. Before he had time to go up and laugh, the person was put into a sack and carried away just as he predicted.After two steps of chasing Qu Ling'er, she realized that the person who came was not easy, and there were quite a few people, not to mention her skills, so he rushed up rashly and killed herself, and might even hurt Su Cen.

Looking back anxiously, he saw the roof of Huae Xianghui Building in Xingqing Palace.

More than 2000 people have traveled thousands of miles, and they still don't know if they can stand still. Prince Ning, who has been through thousands of miles, naturally doesn't take it seriously, and he doesn't even plan to fight in person, just let Qi Lin lead the troops to encircle and suppress.

Watching Qi Lin go and return, Li Shi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Qi Lin pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "They arrested Mr. Su."

Li Shi's cinnamon brush froze, and the cinnabar spread slowly, covering the black and white words.

In the end, Li Shi threw the pen on the desk, got up and said, "Let them stand still, and you come with me."
