……

Under the pursuit of the Xuanjia Army led by Wang Bodang, Li Xiaochang's five thousand soldiers were no match at all.

One side is a first-class elite and regular army, and the other side is just a private army. Not to mention other things, their weapons and equipment are far inferior. How can they fight?

The number of five thousand personal soldiers dropped sharply, and they were quickly killed to the last tenth.

However, in the end, although the Xuanjia Army successfully annihilated all of Li Xiaochang's troops, they failed to capture Li Xiaochang.

When Wang Bodang went back to resume his life, Li Shimin was so angry after hearing the news that he dropped his favorite luminous cup.

"Mobilize the troops outside the city and blockade the entire Chang'an City! Everyone entering and leaving must be strictly checked by me! The traitor Li Xiaochang must be caught!

No matter life or death! Anyone who catches Li Xiaochang will be rewarded with 10,000 gold! Seal thousands of households! If anyone who knows but fails to report is discovered, the nine tribes will be implicated!"

Li Shimin ordered with a livid face and gritted his teeth.

Even Li Changqing had never forced him to be so embarrassed! This Li Xiaochang actually forced him to the point where he had to threaten Li Yuan's life to save his life. For him, this is the greatest shame!

"The general takes command!"

Wang Bodang bowed his hands and took the order and left.

……

In just a few days, Li Shimin issued several orders one after another, plunging the entire city of Chang'an into a heavy atmosphere.

He mobilized the army that was originally outside the city and sealed off the city inside and outside Chang'an. At the same time, he strengthened the security of the palace and even abandoned the Xuanjia Army, letting his most trusted imperial guards take over the inside and outside of the palace. All security.

There are troops patrolling the streets in Chang'an City from time to time, and the checks on entry and exit at the city gate have been intensified several times.

Such an incident made the people of Chang'an City, who didn't know the inside story, panic. They didn't know what happened, so they only dared to discuss it privately. a teahouse

"Hey, do you know what happened these days? Why did the man in the palace suddenly make such a big fuss?"

After a brightly dressed businessman saw another group of soldiers passing by under the teahouse, he couldn't help but curiously asked the other teagoers in the teahouse.

Everyone changed their colors when they heard this, and one teagoer made a silent gesture and whispered. He yelled and scolded:"You want to die, don't keep me waiting, you will be beheaded for talking about these things! The businessman was also startled, and after apologizing repeatedly, he said to the shopkeeper:"I am responsible for the tea money of everyone here today, so I will treat it as a compliment to everyone.""

The expressions of all the tea guests became much more relaxed.

The tea guest who just spoke glanced at a businessman, and after calmly serving the waiter a pot of good tea, he whispered:"Seeing how sincere you are, I'll tell you the news I know"

"A few days ago, Li Chang, the king of Nghe An, rebelled and led his men into the palace. He almost succeeded! I heard from my brother who was on duty in the Xuanjia Army that the one in the palace finally threatened the King of Ngee An to save his life.

The businessman looked surprised and said,"Is there such a thing?" That would be too shameless."

At this time, a tea guest next to him curled his lips and sneered disdainfully:"That guy can even kill his brother and imprison his father, so what else can he not dare to do? It’s time to lose face."

Everyone was convinced when they heard this, and a tea guest said angrily:

"In someone's opinion, King Wu is infinitely better than the fake emperor. He also has the imperial seal and the title of king. Even so, he only holds power on behalf of the emperor, rather than directly proclaiming the emperor. This is the true style of a man!"

"Shh! pass! pass!"

The shopkeeper's face was so frightened that he looked outside the teahouse a few times. He was relieved after confirming that no army was passing by.

The tea guest knew that he had made a mistake and closed his mouth in depression, but his words made everyone in the teahouse very angry. I agree, but no one dares to say it.

In the corner of the tea house, a tea customer with ordinary clothes listened to these remarks quietly, then silently drank the tea in the cup, stood up to pay and left. After leaving the tea house, he went to the street again After buying some food, he slipped into the alley. He wandered through the intricate alleys for more than ten times before stopping outside a dilapidated and inconspicuous house.

At this time, his appearance His attire has changed into something else.

After entering the house, two tall men came over, bowed their hands to him and said respectfully:"Mr. Ying."

These two men are Li Xiaochang and Liu Hongji.

And the man they called Mr. Shadow is the commander of the Shadow Guard in Chang'an City, and his name is Shadow.

A few days ago, Li Shimin ordered the entire city to hunt down Li Xiaochang. There were two people, Liu Hongji, and it was Shadow who helped them hide and hid their family members here in advance to avoid the bloody disaster.

"King Nghe An and General Liu do not need to be polite."

Shadow said,"It's really forced by the situation to let you two live here, and it took a few days to meet you two. I hope you'll forgive me. Li

Xiaochang waved his hands repeatedly and said:"As for Mr. Ying, if it weren't for your help, the two of us and our family members would have been killed by the false emperor long ago. How could we still be alive today?""

Liu Hongji also nodded with deep understanding and said unwillingly:"I didn't expect that the false emperor would threaten His Majesty's life. It is really extremely despicable and disgusting."

Li Xiaochang also had a look of resentment on his face, obviously very unwilling to accept this result.

"You two don't need to blame yourself so much, after all, this is something that no one expected."

Shadow comforted,"The limelight has subsided a little now. For the safety of you two, I have contacted Beijing. Tomorrow, I can escort you and your relatives out of the city to Beijing."

"Thank you Mr. Shadow!"

Li Xiaochang and Liu Hongji were overjoyed. Although they are safe here, they are still worried about the sudden arrival of troops every day.

It will be different if they go to Beijing, and since Mr. Ying dares to escort them out of the city , then there must be a way for them to get out safely.

"As for my duties, King Wu told me to protect the safety of you two at all costs."

Shadow replied.

Li Xiaochang and Li Xiaochang were immediately moved when they heard this. After looking at each other, they both saw in each other's eyes their determination to surrender to Li Changqing.

Shadow left the food and gave them some instructions before leaving.

……

In the early morning of the next day, a convoy of merchants loaded with goods passed the inspection of the Xuanjia Army at the city gate and left Chang'an City. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
