When Li Chongrun threw himself on the river bank at the foot of Qingshi Road, he saw Gongsun Lan being pulled headlong by him and fell down on the bank. Seeing that she was still trying to struggle, he quickly threw himself on her. However, in his hurry, his posture was a bit awkward.
Obscene.
Several loud noises were heard, and Gongsun Lan didn't know what was happening for a moment. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a scene. He thought it was a punishment from the gods, and shrank into Li Chongrun's arms in fear.
Li Chongrun didn't know how many bags of explosives those special soldiers from the Western Regions had brought. After the explosion, he hugged Gongsun Lan and hid for a long time. After confirming that it was safe, he quietly touched it.
Li Chongrun raised his head from the river bank and glanced at the scene of the fierce fight. He was shocked by the bloody tragedy.
The bloodstains and remains all over the ground belonged to the assassins or the onlookers who had no time to run away. More people were covering their ears and rolling around on the ground, including a few dandy teenagers who were released when the explosion occurred.
He fell to the ground and was blocked by the corpse of the assassin who was struck in the waist by Li Chongrun. He was not dead and was still moaning slightly.
The little backstab expert who was hit in the head by Li Chongrun's iron fan did not have time to detonate the explosive in his arms, so Li Chongrun carefully removed it. He was just afraid that this extremely crude explosive might be detonated by various strange reasons. Li Chongrun
He very carefully threw the bag of explosives into the river, and after making sure it was soaked through, he threw it on the boat that had already docked.
Wei Anshi, the governor of Yangzhou, who was surrounded by everyone, came over tremblingly. However, his hearing was affected by the explosion just now. Li Chongrun said a few words to him, but he didn't hear clearly.
Everyone had never seen such a method as explosion, so they naturally admired Li Chongrun who could defeat the assassin who used such a method. Li Chongrun's arrangement at this time was much more authoritative than the prophecy sent by God. Li Chongrun even lip-synced
He gestured a few words to Governor Wei and said that he wanted to take these people away. Governor Wei didn't know whether he understood it or not, but he just nodded in agreement.
After gesturing to the government officials to move the dandies to the boat, Li Chongrun realized that Gongsun Lan had gone somewhere.
Walking to the bluestone roadside and looking at the river bank where he had just escaped from the explosion, Li Chongrun found Gongsun Lan lying on the river bank with a reddish complexion. When he saw his appearance, he opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back and did not dare to move.
.
Li Chongrun took a closer look. It turned out that when he pulled her back, he used too much force and broke the belt. Today when he went shopping, Gongsun Lan did not wear a fancy dress. Instead, he wore a palace dress. At this time, his front was straight.
He opened his mouth slightly, revealing the white undershirt underneath.
Naturally, Li Chongrun didn't care about her, so he took off his jade belt and handed it to Gongsun Lan. This relieved her.
But when Li Chongrun turned to look at the boat, he was frightened by the three souls. He saw Yaoyao's little cousin curiously holding an ivory chopstick to poke at the explosive bag he had thrown on the bow.
In time, he stopped his little cousin from poking at the switch to seek death. Li Chongrun carefully arranged for everyone. The bag contained the evil magic of the demon. If he was not careful, it would attract thunder like just now. This
Only then did he successfully stop the overflowing curiosity of many little girls.
It was just that a government official came over to report that the dude who had just been hit by an arrow was dead. Li Chongrun then remembered that he had almost been hit by an arrow just now. He quickly checked his whole body carefully and found that the crossbow arrow had grazed him.
The shoulder flew out, tearing two layers of clothes, and was bruised by the force of the crossbow. Fortunately, the skin was not broken, so I felt relieved.
After questioning the surviving guards present, he recognized the dead dandy as the young master of Xia Ji Company. Li Chongrun had no reason to compete with a dead man, so he allowed Xia Ji's men to take back the corpses of the young master. Those who were not dead
All the dandies were led to the garden by Li Chongrun.
There is no reason why there is no secret passage in the garden of Her Royal Highness the Princess. The boat girl of Yiyunxuan happened to be from Fengyi Guard. After careful questioning, Li Chongrun knew how to open the secret passage.
The secret passage is in the side room of the princess villa. It is exactly the same as the secret passage in the princess's palace in the divine capital. It just has an extra upward passage. While everyone was settling the few dudes into the secret room of the tunnel, Li Chongrun climbed up and took a look.
, and found that the same palace as his own appeared on the top of the rockery.
A somewhat small bedroom was also opened in the rockery. Several windows stacked according to the original shape of the rocks ensured the air circulation in the room, so it did not seem depressing. Li Chongrun decided that before dealing with the special troops of the Western Regions, he still
It's better to live here.
If nothing else, at least judging from the Wuling people's extensive use of explosives, it would definitely not be an easy task to explode a few feet of bluestone.
Not in a hurry to interrogate those dudes who were fighting cocks and chasing dogs, Li Chongrun had people in the secret room carefully watch over these unlucky guys who had obviously been beaten up by him before but now wanted to protect them. He took a glass of wine and ran away.
I went to the rockery to look at the scenery and think about what happened today.
The boy who died was the young boss of Xia Ji Company, so naturally most of his friends were merchants. But why he could be so arrogant and domineering, Li Chongrun was puzzled.
Arriving in Yangzhou to be a prestige was something that Shangguan's aunt had arranged before coming to Yangzhou. But what happened today was far beyond my plan. An explosion disrupted all the plans. Fortunately, there was an unexpected surprise.
With unexpected gains, the traces of the Wuling people were confirmed.
If those assassins hadn't used explosives, I wouldn't have known they were Wuling people. It seems that Her Royal Highness's information was very accurate. There must be Wuling people in Yangzhou.
But it was just the beginning, and this group of people jumped out in a hurry, carrying out assassinations and explosions. Could it be that they were trying to give themselves a prestige? Li Chongrun was very troubled by this issue.
It's a pity that his think tank, Aunt Shangguan, is not here. If she were here, he wouldn't have to think about such troublesome things.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chongrun, who had just eaten a few pieces of sashimi at noon and saw the sun setting in the west, started to feel hungry.
Following the scent, I went to the main hall and found that the kitchen had already prepared several very exquisite side dishes and a small pot of wine. There were not many people who were qualified to eat in the main hall, and one was hiding outside, so
Except for a few palace attendants, only my little cousin was waiting for me at the table.
Since Li Chongrun invented the stir-fry and the Eight Immortals table, the place where Li Chongrun lives no longer has the customary meal sharing system in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chongrun prefers the lively atmosphere of a family sitting together in harmony, eating, bickering and chatting, so he has always respected sharing meals.
"Brother Run, what are those two loud noises by the river? Are they thunder? And why don't you let me touch that bag? Is it dangerous?"
The little cousin is at the age where curiosity is overflowing. Even the sparrows flying by want to be caught and tasted. Naturally, she is worried when such a big thing happens. Seeing that her cousin seems to know these things, she takes advantage of Li Chongrun.
After having a full meal, I started to ask while carefully perusing the cellar in the princess villa.
"Danger is definitely dangerous, but it's not something profound. It's more like a Taoist priest's failure when refining alchemy." Li Chongrun was a little drunk, and he spoke a little casually.
"Then what is Taoism? Why is it so harmful to the world?" My little cousin saw the tragedy of the explosion on the ship. The state religion of the Tang Dynasty is Taoism, and even the title of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping is her original female Taoist priest.
The name of Taoism at that time. Therefore, to ordinary people, Taoism appears in the form of helping the world and the poor.
"Taoism is Taoism. In the hands of good people, it is a good means, and in the hands of bad people, it is an evil means." Li Chongrun could not explain the secrets to his little cousin in detail, and besides, now is not the time to reveal this knowledge. Naturally,
It was said that it led him down the path of gods and monsters.
Just thinking of the tragedy on the bluestone road today, Li Chongrun felt a little thirsty. He ordered the little maid to bring a pot of wine and drank it while chatting with his little cousin. Unknowingly, he drank too much.
Being helped by everyone to sleep in the bedroom in the secret room, Li Chongrun was awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. All that was going through his mind were all kinds of bloody and tragic scenes, and the assassin who had his head blown off was staggering with his huge brain hole.
Seeking revenge on himself, he was covered in cold sweat and even had no sleep at all.
After climbing up the secret passage to the top of the rockery, Li Chongrun was surprised to find that someone was already hiding here.
