Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 791 Visiting Lishui Pavilion at Night (1)

Lishuixuan, located in the north palace of Luoyang Palace, is only more than eighty feet away from the important place of Xuanwu Gate. It is a single family, and the area is not too big. It is only a side hall with a square of thirty feet. There are no barriers, only the south facing pond has some sparse vegetation, but in this severe winter season, the pond has already been frozen into a thick lump of ice, and the vegetation is withered. There are few people here, but since Emperor Gaozong moved here, the not-so-large Lishui Pavilion has become the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace, not only the outer three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, are full of Habayashi soldiers The guards, there are more than a hundred eunuchs patrolling the inner layer, even if it is a fly, they will definitely sneak in.

"His Royal Highness, please stay. The Empress Dowager has an order. Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition. According to the doctor's advice, you must rest and rest. Don't disturb me lightly. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although Li Xian is the crown prince, not a fly, he still can't get close to Lishuixuan. No, just as he walked to the outer line of defense where the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army were, a general of the Habayashi Army immediately stopped him with a blank face. Li Xian's way of going, although his words were polite, but inside he was determined without room for discussion.

"Presumptuous, you wait for An to be so rude!"

Seeing that Yulin Junlang dared to block Li Xian's way, Gao Miao became angry, and before Li Xian could express anything, he yelled and cursed unceremoniously.

Li Xian didn't get angry, nor was he in a hurry to stop Gao Miao's fury, but he glanced at the general calmly, and instantly felt the bloody aura emanating from that general, without any hesitation. No doubt, as long as Li Xian dares to force his way, this guy will definitely dare to play the real game.

"Ok!"

Although he was not afraid of the other party's force, Li Xian did not intend to have an unnecessary conflict with the Habayashi Army at this moment, so he raised his hand, snorted coldly, stopped Gao Miao's impulse, and then said lightly He smiled and said: "Thank you." As soon as the words fell, he ignored the expression of the man, turned around and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate.

"Humph!"

Although he was stopped by Li Xian, Gao Miao was clearly still angry. After snorting heavily at the general, he trotted behind Li Xian, but he didn't notice the general. Lang Jiang's shrunken pupils were already full of murderous aura... "See Your Highness."

In the study room of the East Palace, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi were sitting silently facing each other. When they saw Li Xian walking in from outside, they all stood up quickly, bowing and saluting incessantly.

"Both gentlemen, please sit down."

Li Xian ordered casually, walked slowly to the upper seat, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down.

"Your Highness, how is the situation?"

Even though he knew that Li Xian's trip to Lishui Xuan would have no result, but the matter was very important and he should ask a clear question, Zhang Jianzhi didn't have the slightest scruples and asked directly.

"Hey, I really can't get in. It looks like I still have to go tonight."

Li Xian went here just to try his luck in the hope of just in case. He knew that Lishuixuan was not so easy to enter, so he would not feel disappointed, so he just smiled indifferently and responded indifferently. road.

"Your Highness, I think there may be fraud in it, so I have to be more careful."

Gaozong's illness is the key to the next step, and only Li Xianfang can sneak into Lishui Xuan quietly. Zhang Jianzhi is very clear about this, but he knows that Clearly, worry is still unavoidable.

"It's okay, I have my own discretion."

As one of the most master masters in the world, Li Xian has the capital of self-confidence. Even though Lishui Xuan is now a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, Li Xian doesn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and replied confidently.

"Your Highness, safety should be the first priority in everything. If there is nothing to do, you might as well think of other ways."

Seeing that Li Xian had made up his mind, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only say something worthless, which was regarded as acquiescing to Li Xian's night visit to Lishuixuan... just after midnight , the snow became heavier, the wind howled, and the goose-feather flakes swept everywhere. The sky and the earth were mixed together in a vast expanse of whiteness, and it was difficult to see five fingers. In the huge imperial city, there was lifeless darkness. In this kind of weather, it is only suitable for cats to sleep in the bed, but none of the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army outside Lishui Xuan left the guard without permission.

It really deserves to be a strong army!
Such a heavy snowstorm, even if it is a green pine, I am afraid that it will be bent down, but this group of Habayashi soldiers on duty did not slack off at all, which made Li Xian, who had already sneaked to the top of the Dragon Palace, couldn't help but admire it Of course, admiration is nothing but admiration, but for Li Xian who planned to sneak into Lishui Pavilion, it was undoubtedly a headache.

Wait, just wait!
Li Xian, who was wearing a white coat, had been on the top of the Dragon Palace for a quarter of an hour. Although the wind and snow were very heavy, Li Xian had already seen the defense situation around Lishui Pavilion with his ability. Thorough, just talking about sneaking into the pavilion without anyone noticing, but it is not completely sure, not for anything else, just because the person who deployed the defense is obviously a master of formation, and there are six layers of defense lines in the inside and outside Even if Li Xian was extremely skilled, he still couldn't sneak into it without alerting the guards. No matter how impatient he was, Li Xian could only be patient and wait silently.

Waiting is undoubtedly difficult. Although with Li Xian's skills, the cold and heat have long since stopped, no matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it is almost the same as nothing for Li Xian, but his mood is extremely difficult to calm down, and he is a bit irritable The meaning was always ups and downs in his chest, even so, Li Xian never moved up and down, lying on the icy snow, his eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at the group of feathers more than thirty feet away. Lin Jun guards, waiting for the time to change the guard.

Great opportunity, now!

This group of Habayashi soldiers on guard are all frontier soldiers transferred from Liaodong. They are very adaptable to the bitter cold, but there is a limit to how strong they are. Of course, they cannot be so strong that they can stand for a whole day in the heavy snow. At night, it is inevitable to change the guard every hour, and what Li Xian was waiting for was the chaos of this brief change of guard. At this time, Li Xian had already dodged, and floated down the high Dragon Palace like a ghost. With the help of the cover of heavy snow, Li Xian slipped a few dodges, and slipped to a secluded corner of Lishui Xuan from the gap in the formation that appeared due to the changing of the guard. , leaping towards the wall, like a gecko, he sprinted to the top of the hall, and like a civet, he sprinted towards the location of the apse's bedroom.

It is true that Li Xian has never done the business of drumming fleas, but his subordinates are very talented in this field. Before coming, Li Xian tried to make up for it, but now he is acting, although he still feels a little unfamiliar , but relying on his superb skills, there is no danger of any mistakes, but he saw that Li Xian's figure was only a few erratic, and he had already landed on the top of the bedroom, but he did not rush to make a move, but bent down and gently He quickly pushed away the snow on the tile surface, then pressed his ear to the tile surface, and listened intently for a while. He could already confirm that there was more than one person in the bedroom. Obviously, it was absolutely impossible to enter directly from the tile surface Do not disturb the people in the room.

Damn old thief!
Although he had made enough hard mental preparations before coming here, Li Xian still did not expect that Empress Wu would now carefully arrange people in Gaozong's dormitory. Although it was difficult to tell how many people were there, the sound of breathing There are as many as six or seven people, and things are obviously a little tricky.

No, this should be a trap!

Li Xian frowned and thought for a while, then put his ears on the tiles again, and carefully discerned the breathing rate of the people in the lower room. The breathing of the seven people was very long, and they were obviously first-class masters. In this way, the answer was obvious. There is no doubt that this is the trap set by Empress Wu. The big fish to be caught, except for Li Xian, There was no one else around, if Li Xian broke into it so recklessly, once he was trapped, a treasonous crime of assassinating the emperor would naturally be held on Li Xian's head.

How to do?To gamble or not to gamble?
Knowing that it was a trap, Li Xian was unwilling to dive into it, but the problem was that time waited for no one——according to the news from inside the Yue Palace, the Yue Palace had already started to take action, and the next morning at the latest, Li Chong and Li Wen will lead two thousand royal guards to Tangzhou, and the time left for Li Xian to make a final decision is only one and a half days at most. The only way to go is to launch the "Xuanwumen Incident", and this has always been a situation that Li Xian has tried his best to avoid. Until the last moment, Li Xian is absolutely unwilling to embark on such a path of killing three thousand enemies. The dangerous road that hurt eight hundred.

Must bet!
Li Xian didn't hesitate for too long. Even though he knew there was no ambush inside, he was unwilling to give up this last chance to save the situation. However, after seeing him take a deep breath, he dodged and walked towards a room in the northwest corner like a civet. Leaving the side room, leaning over the tiled surface, after listening carefully for a while, he concluded that no one was inside, so he lightly lifted the tiled surface piece by piece, revealing a black hole about a foot and a half in shape. In a blink of an eye, the person landed on the crossbeam, looked around the empty room vigilantly, then turned back and gently closed the tile surface again, with a light tap of the toes, the person has already moved silently like a big bird. fell in the room.

Well, someone is coming!

The side room is not big, only two feet square, and the furnishing is very simple. Apart from a wooden couch and a few brocade blocks, there is only a dressing table with a bronze mirror. Obviously, this is the In the resting place of the palace maids, Li Xian didn't take a closer look, he had already arrived in front of the door in a blink of an eye, and was just about to reach out to push open the half-hidden door, when suddenly he heard the sound of small footsteps, his hands couldn't help The ground is stiff.
