Chang'an City.

Three horses raised their hooves and turned out along Xingdaofang, like a whirlwind, speeding down the widest street in the world.

This is Zhuque Street.

It is about five kilometers long and an exaggerated width of forty-five feet.

"Nine heavens closed the palace, and all the nations wore clothes and bowed their heads." This refers to the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhuque Avenue is the center of this Eastern World Center.

Taking this as the central axis, Chang'an City's 108 squares are divided into two parts. The west side is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, and the east side is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County.

The moonlight was thick at this time.

Zhou Yushan, the general of Zuohou Wei Zhonglang, was patrolling the streets with several of his men.

Several people were walking and chatting.

"Have you all heard? Miss Shishi from Mengchun Tower has announced that she has decided to leave the pavilion tonight!"

"What? Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true. I heard that many talented scholars have gone there..."

"Damn it! I don't know which bastard will get the advantage!"

"Zhao Ergou, why are you angry? The poetry girl makes friends with her poems. You don't know a few Chinese characters, but you still miss that oiran lady?"

"Don't you miss her? Miss Shishi's skin and tender flesh can make people drool just by looking at her. If I sleep with her for one night, I will live ten years shorter!"

"Haha! Yes, I also want to sleep with the oiran..."

Several grown men were talking dirty words.

The leader, General Zhou Yushan, suddenly stopped.

Several of the men behind him looked surprised and were about to ask questions when Zhou Yushan suddenly raised his arms to signal his men to be silent.

He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Did you hear anything?"

"No? How could there be any noise in the middle of the night?"

"That's right, this is Chang'an City, and it's still curfew time. Who dares to go out for a walk at this time..."

The words are not finished yet.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

It was late at night and the broad Zhuque Avenue was deserted. The sudden sound of horse hooves seemed particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Horse...horse hooves?"

"Did you hear me wrong? It's already curfew. Who dares to ride a horse on Zhuque Street? Is he tired of living?"

Just when they were looking at each other.

Three fast horses, with the stars above their heads, emerged from the night in the distance, and rushed towards this side with the sound of rumbling hooves.

They are very fast.

In the blink of an eye, they flew past several people, bringing with them a violent night wind that made their clothes rustle.

"Then...what is that?"

"It seems like three people..."

Several patrolling Zuohouwei were stunned.

Since the Tang Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an, except for urgent reports at the border crossing of 800 miles away, no one has ever walked on Zhuque Avenue at night.

You know, this is a serious crime of decapitation...

Zhonglang Jiang Zhou Yushan's face was pale, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he had seen something extremely terrible, and he murmured:

"Damn it...is this going to change again..."

Look at him.

Several subordinates also felt nervous and hurriedly asked: "Boss, what do you mean by that?"

"It's King Wu!"

Zhou Yushan suddenly turned his head, grabbed someone's collar, and shouted out loud: "Didn't you see clearly? One of the people who passed by just now is King Li Ge of Wu!"

hiss--

There were looks of horror on several people's faces.

Li Ge, the king of Wu, was called "Yingguo is like me" by the emperor. At the age of fifteen, he was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of Qi Zi, Qing Ju Laimi and the Military Governor of Qi Province. The precedent of leading a great governor from afar.

His civil and military skills are very similar to those of His Majesty today.

Now during curfew time, the King of Wu is roaming the Suzaku Avenue at night unscrupulously. Could it be that he wants to imitate His Majesty and have a... Xuanwumen incident?!

“I’m still stunned at what I wrote!”

The lieutenant ordered Zhou Yushan to shout at the top of his lungs: "Go and beat the drum to warn us!"

Several of his subordinates woke up from a dream.

Two of them ran to play the drums, while the remaining men followed Zhou Yushan and desperately chased in the direction of Li Ge and the others.

soon.

"Boom!"

"Dong dong dong!"

The rapid and dull sound of drums sounded in the dark night.

During the Zhenguan period, Ma Zhou suggested that "drums should be set up in every city to warn the public, and when the order was stopped, people would be able to call for help." He set up a drum formation in the corresponding area of ​​Chang'an City, and when the curfew came, the drums would be beaten to warn pedestrians.

also.

The drum formations spread throughout the 108 squares also play an important role, which is to convey messages and spread flowers by beating drums.

The code words contained therein were only known to the Marquis Wu on duty.

At this moment, with the sound of a drum, flowers bloomed all over the city of Chang'an, and countless rhythmic drums sounded endlessly everywhere.

It's like spotting autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

Under the deep sky, the stars shine on Chang'an City, and the ancient and magnificent city walls look solemn in the sound of drums!

at this time.

The troops guarding Chang'an's curfew were the Left and Right Houwei, which was later renamed the Left and Right Jinwu Guards in the second year of Longshuo.

Two generals and four generals woke up from their sleep at the same time!

Then he picked up his armor and weapons, mounted his horse and raised his whip, led his soldiers, and headed towards Suzaku Avenue like crazy.

Within a very short period of time.

Behind Fang Ying, Li Ge, and Cheng Chubi, a stream of steel gathered, and countless cavalry pursued them...

Watch this scene.

Fang Ying's hair stood on end, he turned to Li Ge and shouted: "Brother Li! What is going on?!"

Li Ge turned around and gave him a bared smile.
