Chapter 54: Burning the City

As Li Mu expected, Princess Yicheng finally couldn't help but choose to touch the city through the secret passage in the night. There was indeed more than one secret passage in Dingxiang City, otherwise so many people would not have escaped when Li Jing broke Dingxiang that day. The secret passage chosen by Princess Yicheng was located in the middle of Xifang, and the exit was a grain storage stock. She didn't expect that Dingxiang City had become an empty city, so when she first came out, she was still a little nervous. Until she came on the street and saw that there was no one around, she was sure that Dingxiang City was no longer there, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ke Dun, in order to send you into the city, three hundred people have died in my tribe. What you promised must be fulfilled!" As soon as he arrived on the street, a big bearded man couldn't wait to say. Princess Yicheng glanced at him, took out a piece of sheepskin from her arms and handed it to him, and said, "The treasure house is here, you can take people to move!"

The bearded man looked happy and said, "My sons, leave ten people to protect Kedun, and the rest will come with me to get the treasure!"

A group of Turkic people cheered and gathered behind the bearded man to pick up treasures. The ten people who were arranged to stay with Princess Yicheng were so anxious that they stomped their feet. The Turkic people were different from the Tang people. The Tang people valued the distinction between rewards and punishments. All the spoils were distributed by the head coach, but even so, they could not avoid private storage. The Turkic people distributed profits with quick hands and slow hands. In this way, the ten people who left to protect Princess Yicheng would get the remaining ones that others would not even have. How could they not be in a hurry?

Princess Yicheng took their eyes on them and said, "You go too, there is no one in this city, don't worry about my safety."

"Thank you, Ke Dun!" The few people were overjoyed and hurriedly chased after him. Suddenly, someone screamed. Princess Yicheng walked over and saw that someone had fallen into the trap of horses and had his feet pierced by the caltrops. Princess Yicheng asked someone to pull him up and said, "Send the order to be careful. The guard of Dingxiang City is vicious and digs a trap before leaving."

"Damn Tang people, I must peel them off when I catch them!" The Turkic man who was stabbed in the soles of his feet cursed hatefully. He was injured. It can be imagined that he should not be able to get the treasure.

Princess Yicheng took a torch and continued to walk forward. Her destination was Khan's journey, which is now the Dingxiang City Yamen, where Li Mu and others hid. Li Mu guessed it wrongly. In fact, the imperial jade seal has always been on Princess Yicheng. She returned to Dingxiang City not to pass on the imperial jade seal. She hid in the secret room underground of her bedroom for another thing. Only she knew where to open this secret room, and even Jie Li Khan, the person next to her pillow, did not know.

In Princess Yicheng's heart, she never regarded Jie Li Khan as her husband. She was first married to Qimin Khan by Emperor Wen of Sui. At that time, Qimin Khan was already very old, and Princess Yicheng had just become an adult. What kind of romance can the political marriage of an old man and a young wife be? It's just to fulfill the mission. Later, Qimin Khan died and the Sui Dynasty was destroyed. According to Turkic customs, Princess Yicheng successively married Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jie Li Khan. These three were the sons of Qimin Khan. Although according to Turkic customs, it is normal for fathers to die, brothers to die, and brothers to die, but in the customs of the Central Plains, it is a mess. Princess Yicheng was able to endure it because the belief of revenge supported her.

Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jie Li Khan are all tools for her revenge. Feelings? There is no such thing.

So when Li Jing led his army to break through the Turkic camp, Princess Yicheng escaped without any nostalgia and did not look back. The news received by Li Ji was somewhat wrong. Princess Yicheng did not gather the remnants of the Turkic tribe, but these people were actually Uighurs. She knew that Jie Li had placed a treasure trove underground in Dingxiang City to collect the treasures he had robbed in the Central Plains for many years, so she used this as bait to find a Uighur tribe. This tribe was originally dependent on the Turkic and the Turkic were defeated, and they had become bandits on the grassland. When Princess Yicheng said that there were treasures in Dingxiang City, she couldn't help but temptation, so she followed her around a big circle to attack Dingxiang City.

That was a lot of money, but Princess Yicheng didn't care. Because compared to the treasure left by Emperor Yang of Sui, this thing was like a hair of a ninth ox. The location of this treasure was hidden in a picture. Before Emperor Yang of Sui died, he wrote a Belt edict to Princess Yicheng, begging her to send troops to rescue her. The picture was attached to the end of the Belt edict. At that time, Princess Yicheng could not be the lord of Chuluo Khan and could not send troops to rescue her, but she received the Belt edict and the treasure map was also in her hands. However, Emperor Yang of Sui still left a backup plan and only drew the picture, but did not write the location clearly. Therefore, Princess Yicheng did not know where the treasure was, but she believed that as long as the treasure map was in hand, there would be a day to find it sooner or later.

That day, Li Jing stepped on Dingxiang City and fled in a hurry. Princess Yicheng didn't have time to take away her belt, so she returned to Dingxiang City to get it. As for other things, they were not important to her. Even Yang Zhengdao was not the most important thing in her heart. She just wanted to take revenge, not to restore the country. If she could find the treasure, organize several mobs and cause chaos in the world, it would be the real fulfillment of her wishes.

The past scenes emerged in her mind, and the person had already arrived at the yamen. Li Siwen saw that there was no one around Princess Yicheng, so she was about to jump out of the room. Li Mu turned his eyes, Bai Gensheng took out a stick and smashed it down, and Li Siwen fainted in response.

Li Mu caught him, watched Princess Yicheng walk into a room, and said to Bai Gensheng: "You carry him to the secret entrance and wait for people. After setting the fire later, when everyone arrives, you will take them away. Before leaving, click the door to the house where the entrance is located, so that I can know that you are safe."

"What about you?"

"I'll wait a little longer to see what she is looking for. Don't worry, I'm a little target alone, and they can't find them even if I lie on the room."

Bai Gensheng nodded, took Li Siwen from Li Mu, and jumped down gently. Li Mu waved his hand at him, Bai Gensheng took Li Siwen and walked quickly towards the entrance of the East Fang Secret Road.

Two fires in Xifang had already lit up. Li Mu leaned down and slowly moved, jumped to the roof next to him, slowly rubbed to the roof of the room where Princess Yicheng entered, gently lifted the tiles and glanced secretly inside.

Time slowly passed, two places on South Street were on fire, the fire on the west side of North Street was also on fire, and the fire on Dongfang was also on fire, and Li Mu was relieved. It seemed that Bai Gensheng should have taken the six of them away safely.
