[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 25 Homecoming

Seeing Wu Xu's complexion suddenly changed, Awei's heart sank.

"Miss? But the plan has changed?"

Wu Xu was about to speak when he heard Long Wei's report from outside the screen: "My lady, there is an urgent report from Zhuangzi, Xianggong has dispatched all the guards, and is rushing towards the direction of Shendu..."

"What?!" Hearing this, Wu Xu stood up abruptly.

The 'Zhuangzi' and 'Xianggong' mentioned by Long Wei are the anonymous names of Xinggong and Li Xiaojiu.

"Master is awake already?" Wu Xu was obviously more concerned about Li Xiaojiu's health than about Li Xiaojiu's transfer of troops.

"Mr. Xianggong is completely fine." That Long Wei said with certainty, and he didn't know how Xiao Shunzi's letter to him was written, which made these unsmiling dead men reveal a trace of joy.

"It's good that Mr. Xianggong is fine..." Although Wu Xu was relieved in his heart, there was still no relaxation in his frowning.

She could probably guess Li Xiaojiu's intention of mobilizing troops, but what Li Xiaojiu might not have imagined was that those damned clans actually produced a bunch of dangerous goods...

Wu Xu felt that if she guessed correctly, the goods of the counterfeit Escort should be gunpowder or something like that.

Long before conquering Liaodong, Wu Xu had already ordered people to study gunpowder. Now Datang already had many mature gunpowder products, but the formula of gunpowder was still a secret of the Scientific Research Bureau.

But for the clan, it is not impossible to steal the gunpowder formula...

Even the most basic black powder is not easy to deal with!

It's really sad...

Wu Xu couldn't help rubbing her temples, and said to Long Wei outside the screen, "Those people..."

"Find a way to hold them back."

"Follow my orders."

That Longwei was about to get up and leave, but he heard another voice from inside the screen: "The things in those people's cages are very dangerous... Prepare more water..."

===================================== Chang'an dividing line ============== ===============

"Damn it!" Accompanied by this cold shout was the sound of Mi Zhe being thrown heavily to the ground.

The young man kneeling in front of the couch didn't even raise his head, and continued: "The minister and the Chang'an order have already monitored the rebels, but if there is any abnormality, the chief culprit can be arrested, and the crown prince is asked to issue an order!"

"Didn't the Holy Mother give you a secret decree to do things cheaply before?" His Royal Highness's face at the moment was not far from the bottom of the pot, and the guy in front of him was still Di Renjie who had no tacit cooperation with him, which made his emotions arouse. Already on the verge of eruption.

Di Renjie was unmoved, and still insisted that Li Xian give him a letter.

Li Xian thought for a while with a gloomy expression, and finally agreed to the other party's request.

"Does Di Qing think that they will stop because of this?" Li Xian sneered, throwing the edict in his hand to Di Renjie.

"Those damn things... even dare to create a thunderbolt, what else dare not?!"

"I don't dare to speculate, it's just that with your order from the prince, the next thing can be done with half the effort!" Di Renjie said neither overbearing nor humble.

From the moment the prince secretly instructed Li Jiadalang to contact the clan, Di Renjie saw the clues.

Li Dalang is the prince's diehard loyalist, even if he faces the saint, he will not back down in the slightest.

And the prince took advantage of this point, making those people in Shendu think that the prince is also a little cautious...

Originally, the development of the situation was still in line with the prince's wishes. As long as the evidence of the other party's attempt to kill the king was obtained, everything would be over.

Unexpectedly, Li Dalang's actions misunderstood some people.

Not to mention extending an olive branch to Donggong in private, but even someone in the scientific research institute started to make a move!

Those are all his mother's confidantes!

Damn!

Although the leaked information is not very confidential, there is a secret recipe for making gunpowder in it!

When Li Xianchu got the news, he was in a bad mood.

The things needed in the secret recipe are not rare things, it is only a matter of time before they can be imitated!

He can only hope that the feudal clans don't have so much time now...

In fact, King Yue really didn't have time to study the manufacture of gunpowder, and it was purely accidental that he got the secret recipe of gunpowder.

If he hadn't decided to assassinate Wu Xu halfway this time, he wouldn't have thought of this murder weapon.

Wu Xu's control over gunpowder is very strict. After using gunpowder to destroy Tubo, she strictly prohibited the Tang army from revealing the secrets of gunpowder, and even the scientific research institute was banned.

So much so that for a long time, the government and the public thought that God was helping the Tang Dynasty, and thunder and fire were sent down to help the Tang army pacify Tubo.

With the improvement of the secret recipe of gunpowder, the original version of black powder is no longer an important secret.

Gunpowder is afraid of water.

Wu Xu didn't want to know which generation of gunpowder was contained in those suspicious cages, she just ordered the dragon guards to simply and rudely pour water on the opponent's big killer!

It was night, under the protection of Awei and others, Wu Xu left the inn early.

At the middle of the night, there was a fierce fighting sound in the post station, and then there were several muffled sounds, and the entire post station was filled with thick smoke, like a fire, but there was no trace of flame...

Awei and others, who were observing several miles away, were terrified.

"It really is as you expected, my lady!"

Wu Xu's face was completely invisible in the darkness of night, and everyone could only infer his unwillingness from his cold tone.

"Decree: shoot and kill if you rebel."

Long Wei was about to take orders, but A Wei said: "Why didn't the lady capture one or two alive as evidence?"

"No need." Wu Xu sneered, "These people must be dead men from various feudal clans. It is useless to capture them alive. They should be killed."

Hearing the words, Long Wei also said: "What the lady said is true."

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

The guards around Wu Xu immediately became vigilant, and some personal guards had already stepped forward to check.

The person who came was actually a guard sent by the palace.

The leading young man rode his horse to a place about ten feet away from Wu Xu and the others, rolled off the saddle, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The last general Li Duozuo pays homage to his wife!"

Wu Xu heard the sound but did not step forward, but asked coldly: "Why did the emperor send you here? How many soldiers and horses are here? Who is in charge?"

Li Duozuo hurriedly replied: "The emperor sent us to help the lady. There are more than [-] horses here...It was originally commanded by the last general..."

"Now that I see the lady, I will take care of it by the lady!"

Wu Xu didn't move when he heard the words, and didn't tell the young man to get up.

Li Duozuo couldn't help but feel cold sweat running down his back, he knelt there and didn't dare to move.

Just at this time, Long Wei sent people back from staying at the station to clean up the assassins.

But Dao destroyed more than [-] boxes and cages, and killed more than [-] people on the other side. Originally, many people were captured alive, but the other party took advantage of the opportunity to commit suicide. Only two people were tied up because of their injuries. stand up……

Long Wei, who reported it, was a little apprehensive.

On the contrary, the guards on Wu Xu's side had already heard her saying that she would kill them, so they didn't show any strange expressions.

Wu Xu asked about Longwei's casualties again, and when he learned that there was no damage, he opened his face.

"Go straight back to God City."

Wu Xu ordered Li Duozuo to leave 1000 people to clean up where they were, and the rest of them would meet her in Luoyang overnight.

Even though Li Duozuo had many advices, he had no choice but to swallow them all.

However, in Shendu, Li Zhen and others got in touch with Pei Yan immediately after dispatching the assassins, stealing the news of Zhengshitang.

Li Yuanjia deeply felt that Zhang Wenguan and others were all senior scribes, so there was nothing to worry about, but some young generals who stayed behind in Shendu should be careful.

I don't want Li Zhen and the others to be on guard against the generals, but they are ruined by a Chaosan doctor at the end of the day. This is a later story.

But it is said that Li Yuanjia was called a "prodigy" when he was young, and he can still live well under his second brother, that is not an ordinary person.

Since he agreed to the plan of Li Zhen and his son, he is not without backup.

When he hooked up with the East Palace of Chang'an, he didn't let go of his efforts to win over officials from the Shendu side—a center like Pei Yan, didn't he also fall into his bowl in the end?

Li Zhen and the others racked their brains to get rid of Wu Xu. Li Yuanjia had already taken over the commander of the imperial guards guarding Zhaoyang Palace after Pei Yan.

And the signal of Donggong’s approval that Li Zhen and others said before also appeared: the commentator of "Chang'an Daily" published an article, saying that Donggong is getting old, and it is time to choose a famous lady...

Seeing that the situation is very good, but at this moment, Pei Yan, an important insider in the palace, lost contact!

At the same time, Chang'an also cut off the news.

News from Chad, all the vassals are like ice water.

Although Li Yuanjia and Li Zhen in the seat remained calm, they didn't know what to say.

The arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired!

On the tenth day of the seventh month in the third year of Shenlong, the king of Langya, Li Chong, set up an army in the feudal domain under the name of "Kuangfu Donggong, Zhengli's Sheji".

When the chaos happened, the whole country was shocked.

All of a sudden, the public opinion in the major newspapers and periodicals seemed to have been hit by dumb points. Until Chang'an released the news, the East Palace stated that it did not recognize Li Chong's reason for raising the army, calling it treason, and at the same time arrested a group of men and women with lightning speed. Li Chong is the man who connects with Lian.

Comments from the ruling and opposition parties immediately slammed Li Chong's treasonous behavior like a blowout.

In less than a day, Li Chong lost all morale, was defeated and killed.

Before Li Yuanjia, Li Zhen and others in Luoyang got the news of Li Chong's defeat in time, they were already trapped in the palace, unable to move.

According to Li Yuanjia's plan, when Li Chong joined forces, those who stayed in Luoyang had to take advantage of the opportunity when everyone's attention was attracted by Li Chong, and launch a palace coup.

Originally there was Pei Yan in the palace, and now there is the commander of the guards of Zhaoyang Palace, so it is almost effortless to control the Zhengshitang.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan suddenly lost contact, and the commander of the Zhaoyang Palace Imperial Army who had surrendered was hacked down by a middle-aged civil servant who appeared out of nowhere...

Everyone was shocked, especially when they saw that the middle-aged scribe, although he was only dressed as a civil servant, had the aura of invincible courage, holding a bloody head in his hand, like a normal person.

Those forbidden troops originally wanted to make noise because they lost their commander, but they couldn't help but silenced when they saw this situation.

The control of the forbidden army that has already been obtained!

Li Yuanjia and the others were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood, but they couldn't help each other. The two sides turned from a one-sided situation to a confrontation strangely...

When Wu Xu arrived, it was at the time when this reversal happened.

She saw the middle-aged man standing in front of Zhang Wenguan and others at a glance, and couldn't help laughing.

"Unexpectedly, Lou Zongren's first contribution to suppressing the rebellion in Luoyang City is actually Lou Zongren!"
