Li Zexuan had a good guess. Li Er was indeed having a headache about how to rescue Li Tai. In addition to this incident, there was another thing that made him even more headache, that was the question from Empress Changsun.

It is said that women’s intuition is the most accurate, and this is true of Queen Changsun!

Last night, an urgent report was sent from Taiyuan that Li Tai was kidnapped by Turkic spies. Zhao Song trembled and knocked on the door of Li Er and Empress Changsun’s bedroom. After Li Er went out, Zhao Song informed Li Er of the news. Although Empress Changsun didn’t hear anything from beginning to end, her intuition told her that something very urgent and important must have happened, otherwise, Zhao Song would not have been able to disturb Li Er’s rest so late!

After Li Er returned to the bedroom, Empress Changsun couldn't help asking Li Er and Zhao Song what was wrong with him. Li Er casually made up a lie, saying that someone in the army was causing trouble, and then he used the excuse of being sleepy, fell on the bed and fell asleep quickly!

Although Empress Changsun did not believe Li Er's reason, considering that Li Er was indeed very tired during the day and worked hard in state affairs, she did not continue to ask questions, but she was always very nervous.

It was finally dawn in the morning, and it was almost time for the morning court. Queen Changsun quickly woke Li Er and continued to ask about what happened last night. Li Er was immediately overwhelmed!

If he told the truth, it would definitely make Empress Changsun heartbroken and worry all day long; but if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to make a reason that could make Empress Changsun trustworthy for a while!

It's strange that in front of others, Li Er could easily tell lies with his eyes open, but in front of Queen Changsun, it was difficult for him to tell lies without flaws, because Queen Changsun really knew him too much. Many times, even if he didn't say anything, Queen Changsun could guess the emotions hidden in his expression or eyes!

"Your Majesty! It's time to go to the morning court! All the officials are waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall!"

Just as Li Er and Empress Changsun were silently confronting each other, Zhao Song's voice came from outside the bedroom. Li Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, Empress Changsun had already put on his clothes. Li Er turned around and hugged Changsun gently, and then said softly:

"Don't worry, Guanyin maid! Something happened last night, but if you believe me, I will definitely solve it! I will go to the morning court first. After the morning court, if you still want to know, I will tell you!"

Empress Changsun leaned against Li Er's broad chest and felt the sincerity of the latter's words. She couldn't help but feel soft, thinking that she was still pushing him too quickly. He didn't tell him some things, it should be for his own good. Why should she press on step by step?

"Well! Your Majesty, go and have a morning court!"

Empress Changsun took a step back and took the initiative to leave Li Er's arms. The expression on her face also changed from being worried to being "pretending to be relaxed", and she only heard her whisper.

"good!"

Li Er glanced at Empress Changsun, then turned around and left.

Walking out of Lizheng Palace, Li Er took a chariot and walked straight towards the Tai Chi Palace with Zhao Song. Halfway through, Li Er suddenly asked Zhao Song beside him:

"How did you check last night?"

Li Er said that last night, Zhao Song mobilized all the manpower to investigate Zhao Deyan's identity and background, and ordered Zhao Song to give him a result before dawn.

Hearing Li Er's question, Zhao Song hurriedly bowed and said as he walked, "Go back to your majesty, the old slave has found the origin of Zhao Deyan. According to the information file from the Baiqisi, Zhao Deyan was originally the county magistrate of Qinghe County, Beizhou, my Tang Dynasty. He was a fickle person and good at flattery. At that time, he was an official of one of his parents, but he only cared about fishing and meat of the local people, which made the local people complain.

…………

After joining Jie Li, Zhao Deyan was very familiar with the official system in the Central Plains, so he was highly valued by Jie Li. On the one hand, he promoted the reform of the official system on the grassland. On the other hand, he also selected a group of masters from the Han prisoners on the grassland to form an army dedicated to spying on intelligence in the Tang Dynasty! Lao Nu guessed that the Turkic spies hidden in Taiyuan now are likely to be the mysterious army trained by Zhao Deyan!”

Zhao Song told Li Er all the information found by Baiqisi, and the content was roughly the same as the telegram sent by Baiqisi to Li Junxian through a telegram in the morning. When Li Er heard this, he frowned immediately, and then he couldn't help but say angrily:

"Hmph! I didn't expect that this dormitory was actually an official from my Tang Dynasty before. It's really abominable! I used Han prisoners to form an army and sent them to the Central Plains to spy on information? Humph! This person's intentions are so vicious that he must not let him leave Taiyuan alive, otherwise in the future, my Tang Dynasty will have more good men falling under the Turkic scimitars on the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty said so much!"

Zhao Song bowed and said yes.

Indeed, many times, people who know you best are not from outsiders, but from insiders. People like Zhao Deyan, who used to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, but now they have become the leader of the Turkic spies. In the eyes of Li Er and Zhao Song, such people pose great threat to the Tang Dynasty, because as a Han official, he knows better how to deal with the Tang Dynasty than the Turkic people!

"...Is there any news over Taiyuan?"

After a moment of silence, Li Er asked again.

He said a thousand words, what he was most worried about now was Li Tai's safety!

Zhao Song replied: "Half a quarter of an hour ago, the Baiqi Division had transmitted Zhao Deyan's relevant information to General Li through a telegram. At this moment, General Li must have taken action. There are many soldiers in Taiyuan City, and His Highness the King of Wei has always been smart, so he will definitely be able to escape danger!"

"Well... Whenever there is news in Taiyuan, you must report it as soon as possible!"

Li Er nodded expressionlessly and then ordered.

Li Er understood in his heart that Zhao Song's words were just to comfort him. The current situation in Taiyuan City was not something that could solve the problem with more soldiers. After all, the other party had an important hostage, Li Tai, and he could almost walk sideways in Taiyuan without restraint. The key point was whether Li Junxian could come up with any tricks, contact Li Tai without notice and rescue him! But how easy was that?

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Zhao Song naturally bowed and accepted the order.

While speaking, the group had already vaguely seen the full picture of Tai Chi Palace. Seeing that it was about to go to morning court, Li Er thought about it and added another sentence to Zhao Song, saying: "In addition, pay attention to the movements of the border. If there is information on the border, it needs to be reported to me as soon as possible!"

Obviously, Lao Li was also worried that the Turkic army would go south to siege Taiyuan according to Zhao Deyan's plan.

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
