People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 664 Li Jingye, fornicating with Tubo

In the early morning, Chang'an South City.

A carriage mixed with the caravan wobbled towards Anhua Gate.

This place is located at the south west gate of Chang'an Waiguo City. Apart from ordinary people, there are also a large number of caravans going west.

Very lively.

The coachman on the carriage looked like he was not awake, leaning on the carriage and squinting his eyes slightly.

At this moment, the entire caravan suddenly turned around, and the horses of the carriage also returned automatically.

The coachman woke up in an instant, his face flashed a bit solemn, but then he pretended nothing had happened and followed back to Chang'an City.

……

Inside the Tubo embassy, ​​the deputy envoy looked at the subordinates in front of him and said coldly: "What's going on, why are you suddenly not allowed to leave the city?"

"The tax collector at the city gate said that the procedures for the caravan were incomplete, and the people in the caravan are making up for it." The subordinates cupped their hands helplessly.

The deputy envoy waved his hands impatiently, and asked, "How long will it take to get it done?"

"Seven days."

"Seven days?" The deputy envoy suddenly became angry, looked at his subordinate, put his hand on his forehead, and said angrily, "Zaraha, the day lily will be cold in seven days."

Zaraha cupped his hands helplessly and said: "My lord deputy envoy, everything went smoothly in the past seven days. Although Shangyuan has passed, there are still not many people in the yamen. Even if they want to do something, they can't do anything."

"Then what should we do?" The deputy envoy immediately calmed down after saying a word, looked at Zaraha and said, "Go and take the next two paths, try it first."

"Here!" Zaraha immediately cupped his hands, and then backed out.

Zaraha closed the door carefully, and then walked towards the front yard, but just as he reached the gate, a figure just walked in from the outside. This person was obtained from the Tubo envoy Zabala last night. Zalladon, messenger of intelligence.

"Raha, why are you still here?" Zaraton stopped and looked at his colleagues in surprise.

Zaraha cupped his hands and said: "Brother Aton, I shouldn't have told you about this, but you are here now, and you will know sooner or later, my little brother failed to leave the city today, and now I am going to try other methods."

Zaladon's eyes widened in an instant, and he grabbed Zaraha and asked, "What's going on, could it be?"

"I don't know?" Zaraha didn't wait for Zaraton to finish speaking, then cupped his hands and said, "My little brother has other things to do, so I'm leaving."

"Yeah!" Zaladon saw Zaraha walking away like that, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then he strode towards the inner courtyard, knocked on the door and went in, facing the deputy sitting behind the table. The envoy cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the deputy envoy."

The deputy envoy nodded slightly, then handed over a secret letter, and said in a deep voice: "Zaraha was stopped from leaving the city today, it is very likely that our people have been targeted by the court, and Zaraha is still trying other methods , but now if we want to spread the news in a timely manner, we can only rely on the strength of our allies... You make arrangements now, and when Zaraha attracts the attention of the court, contact them immediately and let them pass the news to us send out."

"Here!" Zalladon immediately cupped his hands, then turned and left.

……

Li Xuan was sitting in the Honglu Temple, Zhou Gan handed over the secret letter, Li Xuan waved his hand slightly, and said: "Don't look at it, the king of Donghai is cautious, if he really wants to open it, he will immediately notice something is wrong... besides, What's in it, this king has already fully known."

"Then this subordinate will send it back to see how he got in touch with the King of the East China Sea." Zhou Gan cupped his hands, turned around and left immediately.

After Li Xuan signed an official document in his hand, he raised his head and said, "Follow me to see if this letter can finally be delivered to the King of the East China Sea."

Almost everyone in the Tubo Mission has now been completely stared at, and the means they can use are extremely limited.

In this case, the only person the Tubo people could contact was the King of the East China Sea, and he used his channel to send this information out of the city.

But even if it was sent out of the city, so what, the contact point outside the city had already been completely copied by Qianniuwei's people.

Li Xuan wanted to see now, what would the King of the East China Sea do under the current situation?
Of course, with the prudence of King Donghai, the Tubo people could not contact him at all.

But this information will eventually fall into the hands of the King of the East China Sea through a very secret channel.

Li Xuan believes that the King of the East China Sea still has this ability.

Now he would like to see, when the Tubo people and the king of the East China Sea knew that the stronghold outside the city had been copied, what would they do to send the news back to Tubo?
This letter has entered Li Xuan's hands, and it will be difficult to get rid of it.

If the King of the East China Sea really got his hands on it, then don't blame Li Xuan for overthrowing him directly.

"Here!" Li Bi stepped out of the dark shadows, and then left quietly.

Li Xuan's expression became solemn, if the King of the East China Sea finally started to deal with this matter, it means that everything is under Li Xuan's control.

If from now on, the Tubo people can no longer contact the King of the East China Sea, then it means that the King of the East China Sea's influence is deeper than Li Xuan imagined.

The people involved in this matter are all carefully selected by Li Xuan from various places. Usually, their movements are very small, and they are generally not easy to be noticed. However, once they start to do something, abnormalities that are not in the plan are always easy to cause alertness. It's like the sudden interception of the city gate.

Behind the scenes of this incident, Li Xuan had already arranged for the official document to be released by Honglu Temple.

If the King of the East China Sea is vigilant, he will be able to notice immediately that Li Xuan has been involved in this matter.

It was Li Xuan who was looking for a way to find him. If he was careful enough, he would die down and do nothing at this time.

The news was fed back to Zabala, and Li Xuan's methods could immediately shake Zabala's confidence in the King of the East China Sea again.

At that time, Li Xuan had to think about how to send a secret letter back to Tibet.

That was already part of the hidden war between Tang and Tubo, that's another story.

But if the King of the East China Sea still has a fluke heart, then this result may be very interesting.

……

Li Xuan put down the official document and calmed down. It was not so much that the King of the East China Sea was suspicious of luck, but rather that he had a heart of luck, and he was expecting the King of the East China Sea to do something.

Perhaps, he will definitely do it.

How could the King of the East China Sea fail to see that Li Xuan was forcing him to take action, but the series of methods used by the King of the East China Sea had a clear purpose, which was to pull Li Jingye into the water.

When he was in Hangzhou, Wen Xu was finally arrested in Li Jingye’s Hangzhou courtyard, the death of Leng’s mother and son, and the British public courtyard in Taiping all showed this point.

Li Xuan sorted it out a few times, and finally figured it out, but the problem was that Li Jingye was not clean himself, trying to win people's hearts and try to draw the East China Sea, these were all done too much by Li Jingye himself.

Moreover, Li Jingye seemed to be doing something behind the scenes, but Li Xuan couldn't find out no matter how hard he checked.

Although Li Jingye is tall in people's eyes, his subordinates are not that low, and he still has some means.

At least nothing was found in Li Xuan's hands, maybe even the secret guard and inner guard didn't find anything.

Perhaps it was just like this, what Li Jingye did made the emperor even more annoyed.

It was Li Xuan who had to give six points to the emperor in everything he did. Li Jingye's tricks were impenetrable with needles and splashed with water, so it was no wonder that no one suspected him.

Perhaps the King of the East China Sea also saw this, or he knew more than anyone else.

Li Jingye, what secret are you hiding?

……

In the west of Chang'an City, Qunxian Square.

On the watchtower, Li Xuan glanced calmly at the entire Qunxian Square, and said softly: "Their people entered this workshop, circled around and then left?"

"Yes." Zhou Gan was dressed in ordinary black clothes, cupped his hands and said, "According to the order of the prince, I can follow to the gate of the square, and there is no need to enter."

"Then what about Marquis Wu up and down this building, have you checked all of them?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Gan with a half-smile, and said, "If this king takes action, he will definitely plant eyeliner in Marquis Wu, and after that, no matter what No movement can be hidden from this king's eyes."

Zhou Gan immediately cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates first found the family members of Captain Wanglou, and then asked him to temporarily transfer the suspects to Neifang for patrol. The rest of the insiders know how to shut up." people."

Li Xuan nodded lightly, and said: "It seems that you have learned a lot about the methods of this king, and you are also cautious enough, not bad...Since the people have already entered, just wait and see what they will do next." Where?"

Standing on the tower, Li Xuan looked around Qunxian Square. To the west of Qunxian Square was the city wall, to the north was Jude Square, to the east was Xishi, and to the south was Huaihua Square.

All the nearby streets have been thoroughly cleared, and there will be no authentic existence.

Although Zhou Ganren and Li Xuan were standing on the Fanglou, there were Qianniuwei's dark lines staring at them on every street in the surrounding area.

Suddenly, a low-pitched dog barking came from downstairs, and Zhou Gan immediately became serious: "My lord, I'm going out."

Li Xuan nodded, and looked at the secret envoy of the Tubo mission downstairs who came out from under the square gate, and walked directly towards the west market opposite.

But at this time, there was a boy in black, who happened to go out from under the gate of the workshop, and then headed south towards Chonghuafang.

"Send someone to follow, then draw a portrait, find out the identity, and catch it in one fell swoop when it's finally finished." Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go on and get busy."

"Here!" Zhou Gan cupped his hands immediately, and then walked downstairs quickly.

Li Xuan was still standing on the square building, and in the sky above her head, a pigeon hawk was flying inconspicuously, closely following the boy in black.

Li Xuan's gaze turned to look inside the square building, and swept across an unremarkable coffin shop.

He knew that that person didn't live here and was on duty at the moment, so it was impossible for the news to reach him. Then in Chang'an City, there must be someone taking care of these things for him. line found.

……

In Fengsefang, inside Chuping Gate, outside Changshun Escort Bureau, the boy in black has already left.

A moment later, a black carriage slowly passed by the door of the Escort.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Xuan glanced past the burly guards at the door of the bodyguard bureau, turned around to look at Zhou Gan who was sitting on the other side, and asked, "Have you found out the background of this bodyguard bureau?"

"I found out." Zhou Gan's face was a little ugly, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the lord, this bodyguard agency was opened after Geng Gong, the former Yumen garrison captain, became an official. It escorts business travelers to and from Yumen Pass all the year round. Most of the divisions are veterans from Yumen Pass and nearby checkpoints, and there is even the shadow of Captain Yumen Zhechong behind them. Moreover, the caravans escorted by this bodyguard look like a lot of miscellaneous, but in fact they are all franchised caravans of a commercial firm. "

Li Xuan's complexion immediately sank, she gritted her teeth and said, "Which firm is it?"

"Yingxu Commercial House is backed by the British government, and Yumen Zhechong Captain Meng Xian is the old department of the British Duke. This Yingxu Commercial House has the shadow of the military from top to bottom."

"So that's the case. This king said why the King of the East China Sea has been staring at the Duke of England. It turns out that the caravan under the Duke of England was able to pass through Tubo, not to mention being used by the King of the East China Sea and the Tubo people, and it also involved the military. Many generals."

With a sneer on Li Xuan's face, she knocked on the car door and shouted in a low voice: "Go, enter the palace immediately."

"Here!"
