Chapter 556 Kidnapping

Changsun Wugui's car slowly drove out of the Qin Palace and arrived at Puguang Temple.

Hundreds of guards from the Qin Palace followed in a circle. The princess and princess could not be careless when traveling.

After arriving at Puguang Temple, the inside and outside the temple were blocked, and no idle people were allowed to enter and exit. Even if it was disturbing the people, Zhou Quan of the Princess of Qin must protect him.

A curtain with plum blossoms was erected on both sides of the road in front of the temple to block the outsiders' vision. Changsun Wugui hugged Li Chengqian and moved his lotus steps forward slowly. Dozens of maids and old mothers followed him with a cautious look on their faces.

When he arrived in front of the hall, the abbot of the temple led a dozen or so little monks to greet him. The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Go to the Queen."

"The abbot is polite."

The abbot immediately led Changsun Wugui and Li Chengqian into the hall. Only four personal maids accompanied Changsun Wugui. As for most of the maids, the old mothers were arranged outside the hall.

Inside and outside the Puguang Temple, they were all quiet. The guard Li Gan, who was guarding, couldn't help but feel that the Princess Qin had been worshiping a little longer. He walked to the hall.

The maid stopped Li Gan and said, "Empress is intoxicating, and you dare to trespass."

Li Gan clasped his fists and smiled apologized: "This sister, it's been a while since the Princess Qin went in. I want to ask my sister to inform me, and I said it's not too late, so I asked Princess Qin to arrange for her to return home early."

The maid sneered and said, "The Empress is praying for His Highness, the King of Qin and the soldiers who went to war. Who dares to disturb you at this time? If there is a collision, the Empress will blame you, can you bear it?"

Li Gan was furious in his heart. I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. You, a woman, dare to insult me. Li Gan calmly said, "Is it because the general of the Mo to be worried, please take a look. If there is any mistake, it is something you and the general of the Mo to be unable to bear."

Seeing that Li Gan was serious, the maid didn't dare to say anything else, but said, "So many of you have surrounded this three-level and three-level, what are you worried about? Really."

The maid moved outside the hall and opened the door gently. But she saw that the hall was empty. The maid thought to herself, could she have gone to the back hall?

The maid thought I took a look, and it was nothing, so she took the courage to walk into the hall, but saw the sandalwood fragrance, but there was no trace of people. The same was true when she arrived in the back hall.

"This!" The maid was a little puzzled.

When I walked to the corridor, I saw a monk's room hidden in vain. The maid pushed open the door and tripped her feet. She was shocked. But she saw more than a dozen novice monks and abbots all tied up. She was trapped in the room with a blocked mouth, and she didn't know the personnel.

The whole room was filled with the princess of Qin, the prince of Qin, and four maids who served were missing.

A sudden scream came from the hall.

Li Gan said intimately, "Not good." He immediately pushed the maid outside the hall and rushed into the temple.

The disappearance of the Princess of Qin and the Prince turned into an uproar in a silent and breathless manner.

The first moment he heard about this, Li Yuan was furious and said, "Which one person was the one who actually took the courage of Xiong Xin and leopard, kidnapped my daughter-in-law and grandson under Chang'an City."

Pei Ji and other important officials bowed their heads when facing Li Yuan's anger.

"Reporting to your Majesty, this matter is a bit conspicuous. This is a collusion between a horse-raising servant in the Qin Palace, and the news spreads. Someone set up an ambush in Puguang Temple in advance, which led to the arrest of the Princess of Qin and the Crown Prince. The minister has sent someone to interrogate the abbot and the novice monk. They were all knocked out without knowing it, so it should be impossible."

"Damn it, I don't want the process, just the princess Qin and the prince."

Pei Ji said: "I have blocked all the major roads outside Chang'an and ordered all prefectures and counties to conduct strict searches. I believe that I will be in the near future."

"I hope this is good." Li Yuan tapped his finger and pointed at the prefect of Chang'an and said, "You have not noticed such a big deal at all. This is a dereliction of duty. I have dismissed your official position and solved the case within five days. If the Princess Qin and the Prince are safe and sound, I will restore your official position and make any mistakes. I will pay the crime."

"No." The prefect of Chang'an kowtowed heavily and then retreated.

Pei Juqiu reported: "Do you tell the King of Qin about this? I am worried that it will affect the morale of the King of Qin to command the battle in Luoyang."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't say it for the time being."

Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Pei Ji thought of what Li Jiancheng sent a letter to him two days ago, and asked immediately: "Your Majesty, do you think it's..."

The king and his minister have been dating for many years, and they can see each other's meaning at first glance.

Li Yuan put his hands behind his back and sighed, "I am a little annoyed. You can go and check this matter. If you find it, you will repay me. It is impossible to make a conclusion until all this is revealed. Maybe someone deliberately asked us to think about it in this regard?"

Pei Ji saw that Li Yuan said this, but he still looked impatient and said, "Your Majesty, I think you have not looked very good these days, so take care of the dragon body."

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I have lost my beloved daughter in my destiny. What else can I have to look good? Don't worry, I know my own body, but I hope I won't be angry with these rebellious sons."

Pei Ji hurriedly said that His Majesty's dragon body was the priority, and then he left.

Liu Xu, the head of the Li Tang Neiwei Department, got up early this day. The Li Tang Neiwei Department was a new secret intelligence agency established by Li Yuan's order to integrate the original Li Tang intelligence department.

The Inner Guard Office is very mysterious and unknown to outsiders. The Inner Guard Office is located in a place that is not in front of you near Qianniu Guard Office.

The head of the Inner Guard Department was directly responsible to Li Yuan. The disappearance of the Qin Prince and the prince in the past two days made Liu Xu unable to eat or sleep well for several days. Someone was in Chang'an, the confidant place of the Tang Dynasty, openly abducted the Qin Prince and the prince. This was simply a open provocation to the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Xu has sent out all the people in his hands to investigate, and at present, he has only found some clues.

Although there was not much information, based on Liu Xu's intuition over the years, he judged that Zhao's secret spies were involved in this matter, but this was just speculation and there was no direct evidence. Liu Xu always had a headache about Zhao's detailed works. According to his understanding, more than half of Zhao's detailed works were merchants.

You should know that Zhao State was established by Shang Dynasty, and merchants naturally supported Zhao State. Zhao State also relied on merchants who traveled around the world, allowing them to walk around as their own eyes and ears.

This is simply not very guarded. Who knew that the peddler who sold you fat and silk cloth today was actually a spy from Zhao State. If the merchants were the eyes and ears of Zhao State, the inner security department was at a loss. Then what was more terrifying than the merchants was that Zhao State made a bribe against the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Xu couldn't help but sigh that the Zhao people were very willing to spend money on this aspect. Liu Xu was just the sixth rank chief. Officials of the same level as the Tang Dynasty, with monthly salary of 5 stagnant, with a total of about 5 stagnant. If Zhao State bought the sixth stagnant, the money they were willing to pay was thirty-fifty stagnant.

In Liu Xu's opinion, this was simply cost-free, and no one could guarantee that he would not be moved when he saw so much money. Of course, the general trend of Li Tang is still there, and officials from all over the Tang Dynasty are optimistic that Li Tang can win the final victory in this battle in the world. Therefore, there are not many people who are willing to give Zhao Jun a detailed plan. However, it is hard to say that the subordinate officials and soldiers are greedy for this money.

"Report to the chief!" An official from the Inner Guard Department knocked his feet to the threshold when he entered.

Liu Xu glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? I'm so panicked?"

"The chief officer, urgent military information, the main force of the Zhao army in Youjing has moved!"

Liu Xu glared at him: "What?"

Liu Xu stood up slightly from the seat, sat back again, and smiled and said, "Isn't this expected? Why am I making a fuss?"

Liu Xu, who had been paying attention to the trends in Youzhou, was actually not calm when he learned that Zhao State sent troops. The inner security department believed that the Zhao army might send troops to aid Zheng 80%.

Liu Xu put together a few official documents on hand, took a sip of tea, calmed down and asked, "When is it going on, how many soldiers and horses, did it come along the Yongji Canal?"

The official said: "Yes, as the head of the 28th month, as expected, the Zhao army did transport troops from warships and came along the Yongji Canal. As for the troops..."

"How many soldiers and horses are hesitating?" Liu Xu asked.

The official reported: "According to our detailed work, our army witnessed it with our own eyes, there were more than 2,000 large and small warships on the Yongji Canal, and more than 2,000 large and small warships in the Zhao army. According to the manifesto of the expedition to the Tang Dynasty issued by the Zhao army, the Zhao army claimed to be 361,800 people!"

Hearing this, Liu Xu almost sprayed out the tea in his mouth. He closed the tea bowl, wiped the tea stains on his mouth and said, "Okay, there are still zeros. 361,800, the total number of soldiers and horses in my Tang Dynasty is not that many."

"This is just Zhao Jun's claim. This is a manifesto."

Liu Xu held the manifesto in his hand, but saw that Li Chongjiu's manifesto asked Li Tang to stop besieging Luoyang and exchange all the territory of Zheng State captured. Otherwise, more than 300,000 Zhao troops would attack Chang'an in one breath. Liu Xu thought to himself, from the words of the manifesto, it seemed that the Zhao army was dispatched to surround Wei to save Zhao. It seemed that the army was heading straight to Chang'an, rather than trying to rescue Luoyang.

However, this is likely to be Li Chongjiu deliberately confusing the Tang army. The real trend of Zhao army is really doubtful.

Liu Xu thought for a while and said, "This is an emergency military situation. I immediately copied two copies, one for Your Majesty and the other for the King of Qin who was on the front line of Luoyang. I think the world belongs to this battle." "No." Just as the Tang army advanced, it was in an unknown warehouse by the Wei River in Chang'an.

Changsun Wugui and Li Chengqian were tied up. Changsun Wugui glared at a man with a black cloth on his face and said, "It's ridiculous. Zhao Wang is a seven-foot man, but he dare not decide with my husband on the battlefield. Instead, he kidnapped us mother and son to threaten my husband. Don't you think it's despicable?"

The masked man laughed and said, "The Princess of Qin, there is nothing to be despicable or not to be despicable when you succeed, and it is not our intention to threaten the King of Qin if you want your lives."

"What do you mean?" "Then what do you mean?" "Princess Qin, you can't tell me about this. You are here now. Don't worry, our people will treat you with courtesy."
