Chang'an City.

A group of middle-aged men with a fierce expression were huddling in a remote corner.

"Brother, what happened to the Japanese? I haven't been here for so long."

"The things we do are all fatal."

"If caught..."

Among the crowd, a slightly younger man spoke with a look of worry on his face.

Although the rest of the people did not speak, they also looked worried on their faces.

Although they are hooligans and gangsters in Chang'an City, not everyone dares to provoke them.

If the Japanese hadn't given a lot of money this time, they wouldn't have taken such a big risk to help get those books.

Although books are not worth much money, the adult in the court strictly prohibits a large number of books from flowing into other countries.

Now they are helping the Japanese get rid of large quantities of books. If they are caught, there will definitely be no good ending.

"What a panic? Then Zhao Chen is not here to come back today."

"And the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture are busy welcoming the army back to the city, and they have no time to take care of our affairs."

"Although the Japanese are disgusting, they really pay a lot of money."

"With this money, we don't have to do these tasks in the future. If we find a serious thing to do, we will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives." The gangster leader scolded.

The Japanese who were receiving the support have not come yet, so he naturally has to worry.

After all, it would be fine if you did such a thing and you were not caught. If you were caught, it would be all over.

The other hooligans stopped talking and just looked at the street in front of them with caution.

Half an hour later, they finally saw something moving ahead.

A short Japanese man came up to them with his waist.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." The Japanese bowed to the gangsters.

Ignore him, everyone's eyes stared at him coldly.

The Japanese were slightly chilling in their hearts, but they pretended to be calm on their faces, and squeezed out a smile and said, "I delayed the road. This is the deposit I promised to give you before."

The Japanese took out a cloth bag from their arms and handed it to the gangster leader.

The rogue leader opened the cloth bag and saw his eyes wide open.

The other hooligans came to the front, all of them looked shocked.

"Everyone, this is just a deposit. Tomorrow morning, you will transport the last batch of books to the designated place, and there will naturally be someone to pay the final payment for you." The Japanese said with a smile.

At this moment, he also looked down on these hooligans.

I thought it was indeed a guy who had never seen the world before, and some small profits and small benefits made these people dizzy.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, tomorrow morning, those things will definitely go to the designated place."

"But I still want to ask more, tomorrow morning, my Emperor of Tang Dynasty will be back to Beijing."

"Especially that Zhao Chen, you are not afraid that Zhao Chen will catch you." The rogue leader put away the cloth bag and asked the Japanese.

Even at this moment, the rogue leader was still worried that he would be caught by Zhao Chen.

After all, Zhao Chen will come back to Chang'an tomorrow.

No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it.

"Catch it?"

"Then Zhao Chen is not a god. He doesn't know what's happening here. Why should he catch us?"

"Besides, even if he came to his senses, we had already left the Tang Dynasty by then. He still wanted to find us?"

"As long as there is no evidence, he is just staring at me."

"Tomorrow, you'd better leave Chang'an, otherwise..." The Japanese left the last sentence and turned around and left.

The gangsters were silent in their original place.

"Brother, are we going now?" asked a hooligan.

The rogue leader pinched the cloth bag in his arms.

They had already boarded the pirate ship, and the Japanese had given them so much money.

Besides, the Japanese themselves said that Zhao Chen did not discover this matter so quickly.

As long as they finish delivering things tomorrow morning and leave quickly and go to a place where no one knows them, then they are not afraid that Zhao Chen will catch them.

"Go, go home now and get everything clean."

"We will leave Chang'an after we send things tomorrow." The rogue leader said to everyone.

...

On March 17, the 12th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty led a large army and was about to return to Chang'an from the frontier.

Empress Changsun ordered that officials above the fifth rank of Chang'an City must go out to greet them fifty miles away.

On this day, there were thousands of people in Chang'an City.

A large number of people spontaneously went fifty miles outside Chang'an City to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

Empress Changsun rode a phoenix chariot, and all civil and military officials rode horses or sat in sedan chairs, following the phoenix chariot.

On both sides are Chang'an Qianniu Guards, and the vast welcome team is invisible.

"Mother, my son hasn't seen my father for a long time." Li Zhi grew up a lot, and looked at the official road ahead with no movement, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Little Lizhi was loved by the emperor.

This level of liking is no less than what I had done to Li Chengqian and Li Tai before.

That's why, before Li Tai was crown prince, some officials hoped that the emperor could make Li Zhi the crown prince.

However, the possibility of this is too small now.

"My mother hasn't seen your father for a long time, but today, our family can be reunited." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

When the emperor was fighting outside, Empress Changsun never told Xiao Lizhi about her worries and longings.

When Xiao Lizhi heard Empress Changsun say that the family was reunited, his eyes fell on Li Ruoshuang who was beside him.

He had heard that his mother publicly admitted Zhao Chen's identity in Tai Chi Hall.

It is said that Zhao Chen is the eldest son of his father and mother.

That means that Zhao Chen is his brother.

Xiao Lizhi doesn't like Zhao Chen very much.

Because when he lived in Zhao's mansion, Zhao Chen bullied him a lot.

He also forced him to study from time to time.

Moreover, Wu Xi often says that she doesn't like herself, but likes men like Zhao Chen.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lizhi couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Zhi Nu, what's wrong with you?" Empress Changsun found that Li Zhi was a little happy and couldn't help but be curious.

"Mother, then Zhao...sir, are you really the son-in-law's brother?"

"Ko Erchen doesn't like him!" Xiao Lizhi and Empress Changsun said, expressing his dislike for Zhao Chen.

Empress Changsun's expression changed slightly.

She was worried that Li Zhi would be like Li Chengqian and Li Tai again.

Because of some unnecessary things, he became an enemy of Zhao Chen.

At that time, no matter who loses and who wins, her Changsun Wugui will be the only loser.

"Zhi Nu, how could you have such an idea?" asked Empress Changsun and Xiao Lizhi.

His face was very serious.

Li Zhi hadn't seen his mother look like this before, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.

"Mother...Mother, son... Erchen just feels that Mr. Zhao often bullies Erchen, and Sister Xiaowu likes him, but doesn't like me..."
