May 16th Revealing the Bottom(1/2)
When Liu Wenjing's bedroom was in chaos, Li Xiaogong was giving flowers in the courtyard.
Although he couldn't see it, he could smell it. There were signs of rotting on his face and even blood oozing out, which made his face wrapped with white cloth, and looked a little scary during the day.
He was not going to come out at first because although he couldn't see it, he could feel the weirdness of the people around him. Even if he looked calm, he could only make his subordinates feel even more terrifying.
No one understands his mind, and he doesn't need others to understand.
He stood there, looking lonely, terrible and pitiful.
It seems that he doesn't need to take action on his own. He comes here in person, maybe because Li Yuan also feels that Li Xiaogong can't do much.
Li Yuan sent him to deal with Liu Wenjing, not to value him, but to feel pity.
Hearing a rumbling rumbling behind him and a heat coming, Li Xiaogong did not turn his head because he turned around and couldn't see it either, but he already felt that things were not going so smoothly.
It shouldn't be too difficult to capture Liu Wenjing. He sent Chang'an hero out, which was considered a high opinion of Liu Wenjing.
When Li Xiaogong thought of this, he could only hear the footsteps being messy, and a bunch of people had already rushed to him. Li Xiaogong didn't move and said in a deep voice: "Where is Liu Wenjing?"
A voice sounded slightly below Li Xiaogong, "Prince, Liu Wenjing is gone."
The trembling voice mixed with pain, Shi Wanbao looked at Li Xiaogong in front of him with fear, he was lying and talking.
There were few people who could lie down and talk in front of Li Xiaogong, but Shi Wanbao was lying down and no one blamed him because he had broken one leg and half of his handsome beard burned away.
Li Xiaogong smiled. His face, even his head, was wrapped in white cloth, which made him smile even more scary than a ghost.
A few people turned their heads and didn't dare to look again. Shi Wanbao had to look at him and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, I originally took people to find Liu Wenjing. He was alone and did not deny what he did."
Li Xiaogong clenched his fists and said word by word: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"
Shi Wanbao immediately got to the point, "I don't know what mechanism he moved, so I almost fell into a big pit full of sharp blades. Then the house suddenly caught fire, and the smoke was heavy, and I couldn't see anything at all.
At this time, a huge rock suddenly fell from the roof, breaking my legs... These subordinates rushed in and rescued me, otherwise I would be in a rash fire."
Shi Wanbao made a voice, hoping to arouse Li Xiaogong's sympathy. Li Xiaogong asked coldly, "Where is Liu Wenjing?"
Shi Wanbaobai used his expression, remembering what Liu Wenjing said, and secretly hated him in his heart, and said embarrassedly: "It's probably burned to death, right?"
A subordinate continued: "Qi Bi, there are at least a hundred people around Liu Wenjing's bedroom. Liu Wenjing has not come out. Most of the time, he is not rebellious and has committed suicide in fear."
Li Xiaogong suddenly said, "Give instructions to investigate the intersections of Yongfeng County strictly. If you encounter Liu Wenjing, kill him or her!"
The soldier took the order, but Shi Wanbao was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to say much.
Li Xiaogong said to himself: "Liu Wenjing is definitely not a person who commits suicide."
"But sometimes, even if you don't die, you have to die. Maybe it's better to die if you fall into our hands." Shi Wanbao said angrily. Seeing Li Xiaogong turning his head, Shi Wanbao suddenly blew up and didn't dare to say anything.
Li Xiaogong covered his eyes, but his expression was like looking at him. This kind of action, when you see it in the daytime, makes people feel chilled.
"There is a secret passage." Li Xiaogong burst out three words.
Everyone was shocked, and Shi Wanbao said dissatisfied: "Liu Wenjing has not been here for long. This mansion is also his temporary place. How could there be a secret thought?"
Li Xiaogong, with the help of the guards, walked towards the bedroom first. The fire was blazing, and Li Xiaogong ordered the soldiers to put out the fire. Although some people were puzzled, they still did. After the fire was extinguished, Li Xiaogong asked the soldiers to search in detail, and the tiles were broken and full of decadence. But apart from this, there were no corpses.
Shi Wanbao changed his face, but Li Xiaogong ordered: "Search under the bed."
The tiles fell, and the bed was covered with ruins. The soldiers did not dare to neglect them. They hurried to search for them. After cleaning them, a soldier soon said, "Prince, there is something strange. Ah...ah..."
Two screams came out, and it turned out that the soldier found out that he was about to lift the bed board. Unexpectedly, with force, several small arrows flew out from under the bed. Two of them were hit by the arrows and killed on the spot.
The other soldiers' faces changed drastically and did not dare to step forward. Li Xiaogong snorted coldly, walked over and exerted force, and the bed board was lifted away.
Everyone was silent as if they were dead. Under the bed, there was no hidden weapon flying out, only one iron piece and a dark hole.
Shi Wanbao has always dissatisfied with Li Xiaogong because he is a hero in Chang'an, but this is a saying that he is a giggle on his face. To put it bluntly, he is the thief in Chang'an. All the Li clan relatives are now more or less called the king. He is born and die and is becoming increasingly depressed, so he has a kind of jealousy towards these aristocratic families.
But seeing Li Xiaogong lifting the bed, this courage made him ashamed.
Li Xiaogong couldn't see it. A soldier picked up the iron piece in the morning and whispered: "Prince, there is really a secret passage, and there is also an iron piece with words on it!"&q;
"What is it written?" Li Xiaogong asked.
The soldier recited: "There is no hero at the moment, let the prince become famous. Tell..." The soldier paused and then recited: "Tell the Lord, he will regret it!"
Li Xiaogong already understood that Liu Wenjing must have called Li Yuan's name directly, and the soldiers did not dare to read it out. However, Liu Wenjing had the time to escape and had the spare time to leave these words, so he was prepared for it.
A soldier had already gathered up the courage to enter the secret passage and sighed. Li Xiaogong sat down slowly, thinking about something.
Shi Wanbao broke one leg and everyone ignored him. Obviously, he didn't take him seriously. Shi Wanbao was angry and annoyed, and secretly resentful. But he knew that he had done something wrong and was a little worried.
The pride of arresting Liu Wenjing was instantly replaced by frustration. He didn't know the whole story, but only knew that Liu Wenjing openly surrendered to Dongdu. But Liu Wenjing was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and had a good official position. He wanted to surrender to Dongdu. So what else do you think?
I don’t know how long it took, a soldier arrived in a hurry, “Reporting to King Yong, according to the soldiers’ returns, a carriage rushed out of Yongfeng County. According to the soldiers’ description, it was Liu... Wenjing on the carriage.”
Shi Wanbao found the place to vent and shouted angrily: "Why don't you catch me?"
The soldier said: "At that time, those soldiers didn't know that Lord Liu had rebelled. But King Yong should rest assured that we have sent people to pursue him, and the carriage would not run too far."
Li Xiaogong sat on the ground woodenly and said for a while: "Okay."
Everyone didn't know what his goodness meant. Shi Wanbao made up the aisle: "Prince, Feng Ba said that Liu Wenjing and Tongguan Sang Xianhe have a close relationship. Liu Wenjing defected. Please send an order to catch Sang Xianhe quickly to prevent being taken advantage of by the enemy."
Li Xiaogong said after a while: "Liu Wenjing should know that Feng Ba betrayed him."
"What did you say
"Shi Wanbao said in a lost voice.
Li Xiaogong said coldly: "Liu Wenjing escaped from the secret passage and prepared a carriage without panic. Obviously, it was already arranged. This person was cunning and probably knew that I was going to arrest him. He sent Feng Ba to Dongdu to send a letter, but was confused by me. In fact, he was preparing to escape early. Waiting here, he just wanted to give me a lesson..."
When Shi Wanbao heard this, his face changed slightly. Liu Wenjing was not Li Xiaogong, but his Shi Wanbao.
Of course, Li Xiaogong couldn't see his face and continued, "Sang Xianhe may not be rebellious." With a sigh, Li Xiaogong said, "I still underestimated him."
He said this and got up and walked out, but there was a meaning left on the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling, as if he was crying.
Li Xiaogong guessed something wrong, that the carriage was not prepared by Liu Wenjing.
Liu Wenjing easily got rid of Shi Wanbao, ran from the secret passage, walked through the long path, pushed open a secret door, and heard the sound of water.
Liu Wenjing was not different. She walked out of the secret passage and walked on a slightly muddy road. The chaos ahead was hidden. Looking through the grass, she saw a bright river.
The exit of the secret passage is in the weeds on the side of the river, which can be said to be extremely secretive.
Liu Wenjing sneered in her heart, and the cunning rabbit was three holes. The place he chose was actually because he had known that there was a place to hide.
When Taiping Road was spread all over the world, the place where Yongfeng lived was originally a connection between Taiping Road. However, later Taiping Road was pacified and a big house was built here. After several changes, the secret story was long unknown. Liu Wenjing arrived in Yongfeng County and chose to live here because of caution, but at this time he saved his life.
After clearing away the weeds, Liu Wenjing secretly gave her a secret. Li Xiaogong was resourceful and wanted to run out of Yongfeng County as soon as possible to escape his pursuit. However, Li Xiaogong was decisive in his work. If he found that he was not dead and found a secret passage, he would most likely order soldiers in the county to live in the important passage and pursue him from the secret passage. He had not had much time left.
Before he decided where to escape, a voice suddenly came from above his head, "You need a carriage."
Liu Wenjing was shocked, but said nothing, and the voice said again: "You have no way out. There is not much time, my lady will ask you to talk." Liu Wenjing just hesitated and walked out. When she got on the shore, she saw a carriage parked by the river. The person who was speaking was a woman in black with a scarf on her face.
Liu Wenjing's cunning man saw that both the coachman and the woman were extremely imposing, and knew that even these two people could not please him. He weighed the pros and cons and did not hesitate, and he had already gotten on the carriage.
Before I could sit firmly, the carriage had already sagged southward.
A woman was sitting in the carriage, staring at Liu Wenjing. When Liu Wenjing saw the man, she cried in a low voice and said in surprise: "Pei Mingcui, is it you?"
Pei Mingcui said lightly: "Do you know me?"
Liu Wenjing was surprised and lost her composure for a moment. After hearing Pei Mingcui's inquiry, she smiled and said, "Miss Pei, a great Sui woman, I have admired her for a long time... It's not surprising that she has seen each other." It turned out that Pei Mingcui has been in Zhangye and Dongdu, and later went to Jiangnan, while Liu Wenjing has been planning behind the scenes.
!Ce, first in the grassland and then in Hedong, the two of them had never met.
But Liu Wenjing said this, obviously because she had noticed Pei Mingcui secretly. With Pei Mingcui's intelligence, how could she not hear it?
Pei Mingcui said: "You are actually like a person."
"Who?" Liu Wenjing looked around. The carriage was quite spacious and comfortable, but he thought about what Pei Mingcui was trying to do and why he knew that he was going to escape from here? This was impossible in Liu Wenjing's heart.
An impossible thing has happened. Although he looked like a weak woman who fell down with a blow, Liu Wenjing was as cautious as facing a beast.
Pei Mingcui's lips were ridiculed, "When Xu Hongke saw me, he said it to you."
Liu Wenjing was stunned and her face changed slightly. Pei Mingcui's words were always unexpected, which made him feel like he was unable to deal with it for a while.
At this time, the carriage had arrived at the intersection in the south of Yongfeng County. Suddenly stopped. Pei Mingcui said, "You might as well say hello to them before leaving." At this time, a soldier was looking at the carriage. Liu Wenjing felt a little nervous. He woke up in an instant and showed his head and said, "Have you eaten?"
The soldier was slightly stunned and flattered, nodding repeatedly, "Report to Shangshu Liu, I have already used my job."
Liu Wenjing nodded, retracted her head, leaving behind a soldier who was inexplicably surprised. Pei Mingcui just smiled. After the carriage ran for several miles, there were three horses waiting on the side of the road. One of them led the horse and looked around. Seeing the carriage coming, he came over.
Pei Mingcui got out of the car, and Liu Wenjing followed closely. The two and the shadow got on the horse, but followed the path but turned west. After walking for several miles, there was another carriage waiting. Pei Mingcui got on the car, and Liu Wenjing couldn't help but admire him.
Pei Mingcui's every move looked a little strange, but Liu Wenjing knew that she was just cautious in order to get rid of the followers.
Even if Li Xiaogong chased after him, he would probably chase south when he heard the soldiers' reports, but they turned west, which was unexpected.
After sitting down, Pei Mingcui whispered: "To this day, we can have a good talk."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Wenjing smiled, but thought of a countermeasure. However, he never thought of taking action against Pei Mingcui. As a result, he has always worked hard but never worked hard, and has always won with his mind. But the most important thing is that Pei Mingcui is too calm.
This kind of calmness can only appear when you control the overall situation, and it will only appear after you have strong confidence. There is no need for him to take risks.
Seeing Pei Mingcui not speaking, Liu Wenjing sat more steadily and suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Liu Wenjing, had been traveling all my life, and was suspicious by Li Yuan. This man broke the bridges with his sinister intentions, which really blinded me... my eyes."
"Are you a clerk?" Pei Mingcui said suddenly.
Liu Wenjing was stunned, her smile a little stiff. He was a clever one. Few people knew about it. He thought Li Yuan didn't know it, but how did Pei Mingcui know it?
