Chapter 556: Chasing After Night (2 in 1)

When Erhu urgently went to the palace to see the emperor, it was already two hours later. Li Er had just agreed on a countermeasure with the civil and military officials and was about to disperse the court to take action, and his hands came down to report that the Du family servants were asking for a meeting at the palace gate and had been waiting for a long time.

Li Er is still discussing it. Du Shaoqing is getting more and more arrogant. Why don’t you tell me what you have to do and send a servant? What does your servant have no official position?

But when he frowned and heard Du Shaoqing leave the city, Li Er stood up and cursed, "Is this kid seeking death? At this time, he went out of the city at night to the direction of Luoyang?"

"What did he do when he left the city in the middle of the night? Could it be that he thought that one person could block Hou Junji's army?" Li Er asked loudly.

Erhu was so scared that his face was pale, and he saw sweat on his forehead, and he tried to calm down, "Go back to Your Majesty, my master heard that the eldest prince's family went out of the city to Luoyang to visit relatives this morning, so he went out of the city to chase after him. He didn't have time to ask His Majesty for his orders and let the young man come to report the news, but..."

Before Erhu finished speaking, Li Er was furious again. Li Chengqian and his family left the city? When did it happen? Why no one reported it? Where is the Hundred Riders?

The eunuch Gao was so scared that his face looked like a slut: "It's the old slave who has dereliction of duty, let's go and investigate now!"

“It’s too late.

Erhu, I ask you, is the news reliable? You will tell me the situation in the whole story, including Du Shaoqing's travel situation and judgment." Li Er said to Erhu.

Erhu quickly talked about the passage from Li Chengqian's family in the morning, and finally talked about Du Shaoqing's apprentice Di Renjie to save people, ignoring a part of Di Renjie's battle.

After hearing this, Li Er remained silent and was thinking in his heart, how could it be such a coincidence? The boss Li Chengqian chose to leave the city with his family at this time?

Is it a coincidence, or is it a matter of agreement with Hou Junji?

As an emperor, he had to think about the matter badly. Even if the man was his own son, the other party had the status to contact the throne. What if Hou Junji rebelled this time, the purpose was to support Li Chengqian to the throne?

"Your Majesty, help me. Doctor Xie of the clinic concluded that if my master and his disciple encounter an enemy army, they will never be able to escape from the army. Please help your Majesty to save my master." Erhu cried and begged, and finally shouted out the purpose of his trip.

"Nonsense, how could I not know how to send someone to save him? This bastard boy knows the danger and is still alone? It's really a mess." Li Er said dissatisfied.

Erhu explained: "Your Majesty, before leaving, the master told him that he would take the lead and chase back the eldest prince's family overnight, so that the young man would ask for help. The family had made the worst plan and said that they would hide the family from the princess to avoid their family's worries."

"Okay, I know, you go back to the Chamber of Commerce immediately. You don't have to worry about Du Shaoqing's safety." Li Erhui retreated Erhu.

Then his eyes swept over his subordinates' civil and military affairs, and a group of young players could no longer hold back, especially Du He. At this time, he was the first to stand up and ask for his orders to lead people to rescue his elder brother Du Shaoqing.

"Li Junxian, the Xuanjia Army, immediately led the 500 Xuanjia Army out of Chang'an to catch up with Du Shaoqing. The Hundred Cavalry Division launched an elite team of guided the way. In any case, the lives of Du Shaoqing and Li Chengqian must be guaranteed.

Xue Li is with him. If there is an emergency, Xue Li has the right to decide on the right time."

Li Erdian general Xue Li and directly transferred 500 Xuanjia Army. It can be seen that the importance of this matter is to know that Xuanjia elites have always maintained a count of 3,000, and 500 people are one-sixth.

He did not use Du He, not because he was prejudiced, but said something to him, "Du Shaoqing is not at home, and the Du family is a group of old, weak, women and children, and there is no leader. Nothing can happen. Go back and watch and help."

It was in the hall at this time, and Du He was not confused and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the crisis in Chang'an City is right in front of you. As a military general, Du He is the time to be loyal to the country. How dare he abolish the public for personal gain?

Neither of the two sisters-in-law at home is a mortal…”

"What's the point? I ordered you to go! If the city defense really needs it, I will send someone to pass on you." Li Er rushed back Du He impatiently.

After dealing with this emergency, Li Erlangsheng said to his subordinates: "According to the established plan, we will act separately. Tomorrow, our monarch and ministers will meet the traitors at the front of Chang'an City!"

On the other hand, Master Du Shaoqing and his disciples took advantage of the night to chase the horse, but the sky was not good. The dark clouds covered the moon that night, and the world was dark, as if it was a sign of the danger that was about to come, so the two of them were not chasing very quickly.

I encountered a station or people along the way would get off the horse and knock on the door to ask, but I didn't catch up until dawn.

Seeing that the Baili Station was ahead, Di Renjie worriedly: "Master, if this Baili Station still does not exist, our mission this time will be dangerous. Military information says that the rebels will arrive in one day, and we may not meet each other."

Du Shaoqing laughed and scolded: "You kid, don't be crowed. Just leave your fate to fate. Go and call the door!"

At Bailiyi, the postmaster respectfully welcomed the two of them. Di Renjie exclaimed: "Master, look at the carriage, this is the first time we have seen it along the way, and there is hope."

Li Chengqian did not take Jin Deman with him this time, so Du Shaoqing asked the postmaster if there was a family of three staying at the postmaster.

At this time, two burly men flashed out of the post station, came up and bowed: "Greetings to the prince-consort!"

"Are you..." Du Shaoqing looked at the two of them in confusion? Could it be his old friend on the battlefield before?

"I was sent by the Hundred Cavalry to secretly protect the eldest grandson of the Emperor. Now the eldest prince and his wife and the eldest grandson are staying here. I wonder if something happened to the prince-consort at night?"

When Du Shaoqing heard this, he felt very happy and thought that Li Chengqian did not bring his guards. It turned out that the old emperor was safe and arranged manpower to protect his grandson at all times.

But why are there two? It is far inferior to the team of 100 riders of granddaughter Xuanxuan.

Thinking of this Du Shaoqing, he was secretly happy, and thought to himself that the emperor was controlled by his daughter, and his grandchildren also prefer their granddaughters.

But he didn't know that Emperor Li Er sent a whole team of Hundred Cavalry to obey the Du family. Half of the reason was to attack Du Shaoqing, the son-in-law, because the Du family did not need servants, which led to insufficient staff. If there was something left uncontrollably.

"Which room do they live in? Take me to see him."

"Yes, please, my son-in-law!"

Di Renjie reached out and wanted to stop his master. After all, the eldest prince was a family of three, so what's the matter if he broke in?

But the station was not big, and a few people were walking in a hurry and stern manner, and it was too late to remind them.

Du Shaoqing was fine and went straight to push the door and shouted Li Chengqian's name.

Li Chengqian and his wife were awakened from their sleep, confused and did not know what had happened.

His wife, Hou, was so scared that she hugged her husband's arm and said, "Husband, have you been attacked by a bandit? You see, you are calling you by name. You are a robber?"

Li Chengqian was shocked and woke up in an instant, "Madam, don't be afraid, this is the official station, it's close to Chang'an. Who dares to hit the emperor... No, why is this sound so familiar? It seems that it's my brother-in-law here?"

After turning over and getting out of bed, Li Chengqian opened the door, and Du Shaoqing was about to break in. Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped him: "It's really my brother-in-law, why are you here? Stop breaking, your sister-in-law and the child are here too, what kind of morality is it?"

Du Shaoqing ran all night, and at this time he was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent his anger. He swears: "I'm still concerned about the state of being so pretty. Come on and go with us quickly. If you don't leave, your family will be finished here."

"What? What's the end? What happened?"

"Don't ask so much, let my sister-in-law of the Hou family come out quickly. I hope it's still time for us to escape to Chang'an now. I chased after me all night. If the enemy marched overnight, I couldn't even run away!" Du Shaoqing was also very anxious. Fortunately, Di Renjie pulled him, otherwise he would have really broke in.

"You have to make it clear, what enemy? Where did it come from?

Madam, come out quickly and call the child up as well," Li Chengqian shouted inside.

Du Shaoqing calmed down for a moment, pulled Li Chengqian aside and explained in a low voice, the latter exclaimed: "Who did you say? Hou Junji rebelled? How is this possible?"

The bodyguards of the two Hundred Riders were also very surprised.

"My God, don't shout! Are you afraid of being exposed lightly, right?" Du Shaoqing covered Li Chengqian's mouth and shouted.

Hou, who was about to go out with his child in his arms, felt weak and almost fell down. Everyone knew that they could not hide it at first sight.

"Fifth brother-in-law, please explain clearly, what's wrong with my dad?" Hou asked.

In order to save time, Du Shaoqing did not want to explain it again and said bluntly: "Luoyang Governor Hou Junji raised an army of 30,000 to rebel, and he will attack the city of Chang'an within one day..."

"Absolutely impossible, my father is loyal to His Majesty..." Hou did not believe it.

"Okay, I don't have time to talk to you about these things now. If we don't leave, we may be caught up by the rebels from Luoyang at any time!

Li Chengqian, you and Xiang'er, one is the eldest prince and the other is the eldest grandson of the emperor. If they fall into the hands of the rebels, isn't this just a mere vote to threaten His Majesty with surrender?

Come with me quickly, don't talk too much. I've been chasing you all night and I'm still rushing to lie to you?" Du Shaoqing said impatiently.

Di Renjie said on the side, "Yes, Your Majesty, before we left the city, your Majesty was already summoning civil and military personnel to prepare to defend the city.

Let's go quickly. You must ride a carriage with your wife and children. If the enemy marched quickly, we may not be able to pass through them for the hundred miles of the city, and we dare not delay any more."

Du Shaoqing shouted outside the door: "Where is the Baili Yishu? Quickly prepare four quick horses for us, and set off after one stick of incense."

"No, I don't believe that my father would do such a ruthless thing. I don't care. I must go to Luoyang to have a look." Hou insisted.

If the person in front of him was not Li Chengqian's wife, Du Shaoqing wanted to slap him, what a fucking prodigal girl? She was still losing her links at the critical moment? Wouldn't you give up if you didn't cheat your husband and children to death?

"Enough!" Du Shaoqing shouted, "Do you know what the situation is now?"

What are the consequences of Hou Junji's rebellion in Luoyang? Have you ever thought about it? The serious crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan!

Now this time is good. Your family of three happened to go to Luoyang to visit relatives? What did you ask His Majesty to think with the court? Will anyone say that Li Chengqian and Hou Junji have an affair with each other and want to usurp the throne?"

Li Chengqian exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, are you not kidding? Father and he..."

"I'm guessing, but people's hearts are unpredictable. There are many talents in the court, so some people will definitely say that.

If you really meet Hou Junji, there will be only two consequences.

First, he took the opportunity to detain you father and son, put on a yellow robe, and defeat Chang'an to support you. He took the emperor to command the princes and became the first powerful minister.

Secondly, if he has the ambition to break the city and usurp the throne, he will take down your father and son and threaten His Majesty. Will it be successful or not? Except for Xiang'er's mother, you and Xiang'er will be killed."

Li Chengqian felt cold on his spine when he heard it. After careful consideration, he found that there were only two results.

When Hou heard that the family was raided and exterminated the clan, he was almost scared to death. He grabbed Li Chengqian and trembled: "Husband, let's stop my father and advise him to turn around. Don't be stupid and seek death..."

Du Shaoqing was speechless and turned around and asked Di Renjie: "Advisor, do you know how to suck acupoint? If you really can't do it, just knock her out. If you continue to sneer, you will die."

Di Renjie:...Master, did you ask me to fight with a woman? Are you too rude?

Li Chengqian held his wife and comforted her: "Your father must have made up his mind to raise an army. No one can persuade him. Let's go. Let's go back to Chang'an and plead with his father. It is the maximum possible way to save his life afterwards."

At this moment, there were sounds of horse hooves in the distance. Everyone had seen the battlefield and felt alert. Du Shaoqing exclaimed: "It's bad! The rebels have arrived here. Go away, go away!"

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer, but Di Renjie calmly said: "It's not right for master, the direction is wrong. At this time, the horse team coming to Chang'an should be the ones who are reinforced."

Sure enough, everyone came to the yard of the inn and met Xuanjia Army and Xue Li who were chasing him.

After turning over and dismounting, Xue Li and Li Junxian breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, we chased and asked all the way, and finally caught up.

Your Majesty's death order, we must recover all of you and your group safely, no one was seen along the way, and I thought you had already fallen into the tiger's mouth."

Du Shaoqing laughed and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is more nervous than me. He actually dispatched the Xuanjia Army!"

The deputy general of the Xuanjia Army came over to report: "General, we are running overnight, we have nothing to do, but the horse has reached its limit and needs a quarter of an hour to drink and feed the horse."

Li Junxian nodded and said, "Okay, I will repair it on the spot for a quarter of an hour. Where is the Baili Post Chief? Cooperate with the deputy general to drink horses and feed it, and then withdraw to Chang'an with us. This Baili Post Office will be abandoned for the time being."

It was a coincidence that it was just this quarter of an hour. Hou Junji's army, who had been cooking at the third and fifth hours, actually arrived ten miles east of this Baili Posthouse at dawn.
