The environment in the courtyard of the Horse Posthouse was better than the outside. There were more and thicker trees.
This was good, it provided Wu Tianlang with a place to hide.
Wu Tianlang had just arrived, and he couldn't figure out the layout of the Horse Posthouse. He couldn't help but feel a little confused!
According to his plan, he should think of a way to avoid irrelevant people and find Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
Wu Tianlang thought to himself,'As long as I find Li Longji, the whole thing will be solved.'
Even though the military power was in the hands of the Crown Prince Li Xiang, the Emperor was still Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji. As long as Li Longji knew about this matter in advance, he could make preparations in advance. Whether he could control the situation in Tang or not, it would not be a problem for him to think of a way to save Concubine Yang in advance.
Wu Tianlang had already made up his mind. He took advantage of the sleepy afternoon to sneak behind the Courier Station along the wall…
There were many towering trees in the inn, but Wu Tianlang did not feel as hot as before. Perhaps it was because he was too excited.
Not far away, there was a guy dressed like a eunuch standing guard. His body was leaning against a pillar, and he was dozing off with his eyes closed!
Not far away, there was a eunuch standing guard, who also looked sleepy.
Wu Tianlang didn't dare to move. He carefully sized up the eunuchs, afraid that he would make a noise and alarm them.
There was a row of rooms in front of them. In front of the rooms was a corridor. In front of the corridor was a pool filled with lotus leaves. They were all ancient buildings that looked simple and elegant.
Wu Tianlang felt that this was the most luxurious house in the entire posthouse. The emperor must be resting here!
Wu Tianlang's heart was pounding as he thought about how he could sneak into the room.
One had to know that if he was discovered by these guards, he would die before he could see Tang Xuanzong!
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained! At the critical moment, you have to go up!" Wu Tianlang stuck his head out and glanced at the two eunuchs.
The guard eunuchs seemed to be still asleep. One of them even had an ecstatic smile on his face! Wu Tianlang wondered if this guy was dreaming about his childhood. At that time, he was still a perfect person…
The cicadas chirped leisurely!
Taking advantage of the noise of the cicadas, Wu Tianlang crouched down and passed through the open space leading to the house!
Fortunately, those two guys didn't notice!
Wu Tianlang tiptoed to the door of the house. He did not know which room the Emperor was in, so he could only walk blindly.
He knew that if he rashly opened the door, he would probably be courting death. He would definitely be arrested as an assassin.
"Damn it, this job is really not easy! Since he had transmigrated, he should at least have a system or something. This way, he could solve some tricky problems at the critical moment. But now, he was alone and relying on his passion to clear the level. The difficulty was too great!
However, complaints were complaints. Since he wanted to come, he had to persevere until the end!
Wu Tianlang was very cautious. He only hoped that the heavens would show mercy and help him find Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji as soon as possible.
The chirping of the cicadas faded a little. Wu Tianlang seemed to feel that his footsteps were a little too loud and was afraid that he would wake someone up.
At this moment, Wu Tianlang heard footsteps behind him!
Without thinking, he quickly pushed open the door beside him and hid inside!
Fortunately, there was no one in the room. Wu Tianlang thanked the heavens in his heart.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. It didn't sound like a person.
Wu Tianlang was worried that these people would come to the house, so he quickly thought of a place to hide.
He looked around. There was no furniture in this room. What should he do?
Eh?
Wu Tianming saw a cabinet in the corner of the room. It was a square, old-fashioned cabinet.
In a moment of desperation, he ran over, lifted the lid of the cabinet, crawled in, and closed the lid.
There wasn't much space in the cabinet, so Wu Tianlang could only squat inside. It was dark inside and he couldn't see anything.
Wu Tianlang heard the door open.
"Hey, Gao Lishi, the Imperial Consort isn't here, so where could she have gone?”A deep voice asked.
Wu Tianlang hid in the cabinet and heard this person calling Gao Lishi's name. He thought to himself, This guy is not simple. He actually dares to call the name of the first eunuch of the current dynasty. Could this person be Tang Xuanzong?
If that was the case, then it would really be effortless to find it!
He, Wu Tianlang, would be able to follow the emperor to accomplish great things.
Wu Tianlang thought that if he performed well and allowed Li Longji to keep the throne, he might be able to become a high-ranking official. At that time, he would have everything he wanted. He could even find a girl from the Tang Empire. Why not?
This way, it would be much better than waiting bitterly for a job in his future life!
Thinking of this, Wu Tianlang hid in the cabinet, wanting to confirm if this person was Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
" Your Majesty, I heard the Imperial Concubine say that she wanted to find a room to bathe in. I don't know which room she went to…" Gao Lishi replied in a strange tone.
This voice was very recognizable. It was the voice of a eunuch!
Wu Tianlang, who was hiding in the cabinet, was very excited. There were two people in the room. One was the current Emperor, Li Longji, and the other was the Emperor's most trusted eunuch, Gao Lishi.
Wu Tianlang wondered if he would scare the Emperor if he suddenly came out of the cabinet. Would he alarm the Emperor and be blamed?
" Gao Lishi, there are no outsiders here. I have something important to discuss with you..." Li Longji whispered.
Gao Lishi hurriedly said,"Aiya, Your Majesty, if there's anything, you can just instruct this servant. How can there be a need to discuss it?"”
Li Longji sighed and said sadly,""My dear minister, since things have come to this, don't hide it from me anymore!”
Li Longji's words frightened Gao Lishi!
His face was full of fear as he knelt in front of Li Longji.""Emperor, this old servant wouldn't dare to hide anything from you! This old servant does not dare to accept the crime of deceiving the sovereign!”
Wu Tianlang, who was in the cabinet, felt as if he was listening to a play. He did not expect the master and servant to be up to no good in this room. The exchange between them was really interesting. He might as well listen to what little secrets they had between them…
The room was silent for a moment. Those who did not know better would think that there was no one in the room!
Li Longji stared at Gao Lishi, who was kneeling on the ground. He put away the seriousness on his face and smiled as he bent over to help Gao Lishi up.
"Beloved minister, please get up quickly! I was excited just now, excited!”
Gao Lishi stood up in trepidation and said with his head lowered,"Emperor, actually, this old servant really has some things that I haven't told you yet."
"For example?" Li Longji asked.
"For example, the current situation…" Gao Lishi hesitated.
"I know the current situation. Isn't it just An Lushan's rebel army chasing after Xianyang?”Li Longji said.
Gao Lishi nodded." Your Majesty, you're talking about an external threat-"
"What's wrong? Gao Lishi, do you mean that you still have internal problems?”
"Your Majesty…" Gao Lishi looked up at Li Longji, then lowered his head and murmured,"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.""Actually, it doesn't matter if I say it or not…"
"Ha! Gao Lishi, you slave! Since when did you dare to talk to me like this! If it wasn't for the fact that Zhen remembered that you were an old official of the previous dynasty, no matter what, you had served Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Ruizong. Of course, even earlier, there was also Zhen's grandmother who was in charge of the government! Yes, Gao Lishi, you have worked hard for our royal family, but now, you actually dare to follow this one like this. Do you believe that this one will chase you out of the palace?”Li Longji said angrily.
Gao Lishi, however, changed his usual submissive manner and replied,"Emperor, aren't we no longer in the palace?”
This sentence stunned Li Longji!
If it was in the past, Li Longji would have been angry. Even if Gao Lishi had served two generations of emperors, he would still ruthlessly scold him.
But today, he couldn't!
Gao Lishi's words deeply hurt Li Longji's heart.
Yes, this was not Chang 'an. They were on their way to Shu Prefecture.
This was not his palace. This was just a temporary shelter on his way to escape!
How could Li Longji not know the current situation? He was a smart person. As the emperor for twenty to thirty years, how could he not see the current situation?
He was just unwilling to accept this reality!
Li Longji knew that An Lushan was chasing after him. As the Crown Prince, Li Xiang seized military power under the pretext of resisting the rebels. However, he was only concerned about preserving his strength and did not dare to fight An Lushan's rebels.
When Yang Guozhong came this morning, the monarch and his subjects chatted for a long time.
Yang Guozhong said with a smile. Now, he was a commander without any soldiers. Ever since he left Chang 'an, his position as prime minister was useless. No one was willing to listen to him.
Even Chen Xuanli, the leader of the Imperial Army, ignored Yang Guozhong's words.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji listened to Yang Guozhong's words and empathized with him.
"Beloved minister, how can I not be a commander without an army? Now that the military power is in the hands of Crown Prince Li Xiang, he doesn't even listen to what the Emperor says. I'm also very embarrassed!”As Li Longji spoke, he couldn't help but tear up. He picked up the sleeves of his dragon robe and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Emperor, what should we do now? If Crown Prince Li Xiang doesn't want to resist the rebel army, we won't be able to outrun An Lushan's men!”Yang Guozhong was very worried that they would not be able to reach Shu Prefecture.
Li Longji nodded." My dear minister, we can't care so much now. We can only depend on God's will. If God doesn't destroy the Tang Empire, we can escape to Shu Prefecture and regroup. If the heavens are blind, we…"
Li Longji couldn't continue and just wiped his tears.
Yang Guozhong was also dejected. Thinking about how he, Yang Guozhong, relied on his cousin, Yang Yuhuan, to hold power, he was thinking of letting his Yang family enjoy glory and wealth for generations to come! Who would have thought that An Lushan would dare to rebel!
Now, Chang 'an could not be saved!
Fortunately, they had prepared in advance and escaped from Chang 'an overnight with their families.
Yang Guozhong thought that as long as he could reach Shu Prefecture, it would be easy. After all, it was safe there. After all, Jiannan Regional Governor of Shu Prefecture was his trusted aide.
The monarch and his subjects chatted for a long time and finally reached an agreement. Persevere! Persevere until they reach Shu Prefecture!
