Chapter 349 Attacking the City Gate

Not long after Li Hong and his party walked out, they saw several soldiers holding torches patrolling the city wall, apparently fearing that someone would take the opportunity to escape or attack the city gate.

Seeing the increasingly dense crowd pouring down from the city tower and starting to enter the city, Li Hong grabbed Wu Mei who was about to leave and said: "Mother, you go back to the palace to rest first, I'll go to the city gate. Check it out.”

"Go." Wu Mei waved her hand to Li Hong to go quickly, and then continued to walk to the palace with Pei Wanying and Wu Mei.

Li Hong stood on the tower several feet high, looking up at the sky in the distance.

The sky was as blue as a pure and flawless sapphire. Occasionally, birds flew by, but most of the time it was crows flying in the air.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhe also looked at the crowd of crows in the sky and asked worriedly.

"Something's wrong." Li Hong shook his head, but for a while he couldn't explain what was going on.

"There's something wrong, what you said is so mysterious." Li Zhe was a little confused, but he couldn't help but stretched his neck and took a look.

"I don't know. You two go first, and I will follow you." Li Hong watched the backs of Li Zhe, Yang Caiyi and the two women disappear from sight, then slowly turned around and walked towards the city gate. .

Not long after he stepped out, he noticed a commotion on the street in the distance that caught his attention.

When he looked at the commotion of the crowd, surrounded by several guards and brought behind him, Li Hong immediately stopped.

When the man saw Li Hong suddenly stamp his feet, his face instantly turned as pale as paper!

"Join His Majesty the Crown Prince."

"Who are you? Why do you pretend to be an ordinary person and mingle among the people?" Li Hong asked indifferently, staring at the man kneeling on the ground.

"The common people just want to take this opportunity to go into the city and take a look at Chang'an City." The man said with a trembling voice.

"Are you sure?" Li Hong asked again.

"The common people are willing to guarantee it with their lives." The man lowered his head and said firmly.

"In this case, I believe that you will get better once and for all. I hope you will remember what I said today." After Li Hong finished speaking calmly, he turned and walked into the city.

"Thank you, Your Highness." After hearing that Li Hong really let him go, the man kowtowed excitedly, and then quickly followed him.

After Li Hong had entered the imperial city, the man finally raised his head, with a sinister look on his face. The look he looked at Li Hong changed from the initial fear to one filled with hatred.

"Li Hong, you're dead." The man followed Li Hong cautiously and muttered.

"Are you following me? Do you know me? What do you want to do?"

Li Hong was still pacing slowly, but suddenly turned back to look at the man behind him.

"Uh~ Your Highness Mingjian, the Cao Min did not follow you, and the Cao Min do not know your name." The man was startled by Li Hong's sudden turning back and explained hurriedly.

"Then how do you know my surname is Li? Do you know me?" Li Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him.

"The common people don't know His Highness, nor do they know your name. The common people feel that in Chang'an City, except His Highness, there seems to be no one else who can sit on the city wall and enjoy the scenery, right?" The man said hesitantly.

"Oh? That's right." Li Hong nodded slightly, and then said, "Then have you ever heard of Li Hong?"

"Li Hong? Your Highness, are you the second son of His Majesty Taizong?" The man opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at Li Hong in disbelief.

"It turns out to be Your Highness. Your Highness, please forgive me. It's just common people's presumption. I didn't mean to hide His Highness." "Forget it, I don't blame you, let's go."

The man kowtowed again and said: "Thank you, Your Highness. Although Cao Min is new to Chang'an City, he has heard about His Highness's heroic deeds. However, Cao Min is stupid and has never paid a visit to His Highness. Please forgive Cao Min."

"It doesn't matter, I don't like restraint."

"Your Highness is wise, and the common people must remember His Highness's teachings." The man said flatteringly.

After that, the two of them walked aimlessly in Chang'an City, and no one raised any questions about the man's words just now.

It was not until evening that Li Hong led Li Zhe and Pei Wanying back to the palace, but the man who had just been let go had long since disappeared.

"Father, I would like to take a look outside the east city gate."

"Go, I'm tired." Yang Yanzhang waved his hand and said lazily.

Then regardless of the dissuasion of Li Xian, Li Zhe and others, he asked them to retreat and lay alone on the dragon bed, breathing evenly and long, sleeping soundly.

"Let's chat with our father for a while." Li Zhe and Pei Wanying walked up to Li Hong and discussed in a low voice.

"You go and chat with father for a while." Li Hong gently pushed Pei Wanying and said.

Pei Wanying hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

On the roof on the other side, the man who had just been captured by Li Hong was lying quietly on the edge of the eaves.

Looking at Pei Wanying walking away, she then turned to look at Li Hong and asked, "Your Highness shouldn't hate her, right? Why did you ask me to stay and talk to you instead?"

"Because I want to see who he is, who dares to pretend to be a commoner and hide among the common people, and also wants to assassinate me."

"You suspect it's me? But I have no reason to kill you." The man asked in surprise.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because I am a cannibal and I am not from the Tang Dynasty."

"You said you are a big cannibal?" Li Hong looked at the man in front of him and said with a sarcastic smile: "Have you forgotten that you are still a prisoner of my Tang Dynasty? Aren't you afraid that this prince will now Just send you back to Dashi Country?"

"You can't. If you want to send me back to Dashi Country, there's no need to beat around the bush." ​​The man looked directly at Li Hong without fear and said calmly.

"Tell me which country you are from?" Li Hong asked, sitting calmly on the ridge of the roof, overlooking the distance.

"Do you think I will tell you?" The man looked at Li Hong coldly and said.

"Then I don't know, and I don't know everything." Li Hong shrugged, looking at the man in front of him and said calmly.

"If you really don't know, then why do you ask me which country I am from? Aren't you testing me?" The man snorted coldly, obviously not ready to continue chatting with Li Hong.

After all, the longer he delays, the more he will be discovered, and it will be more difficult for him to get out.

"Forget it if you don't tell me." Li Hong curled his lips, then stood up and walked towards Chang'an City.
