Four Six Sixth Festival Forced Palace(1/2)
Before Li Daoxuan died, he only thought about one question: Who sent the murderer? Was he instructed by Xiao Buyi?
Xiao Buyi actually has such a dead soldier, and he is desperately trying to kill his opponent. Xiao Buyi now seems to be getting more and more insidious. Then isn’t Tang Emperor very dangerous?
When you come out, you always have to pay it back. You always want to plot against others. Of course, someone will plot against you. Li Daoxuan understands this, so he is not surprised when he dies. But when he falls to the ground, he hears a few coughs, as if he feels ripe, and it seems that he is coming from a very distant place.
Qiu Xinggong saw Li Daoxuan die, his eyes were bloodshot.
The assassination was extremely sudden, but obviously he had been planning for a long time. Those dead soldiers were even more desperate than Li Xiaogong's subordinates. Everyone knew that Prince Li Xiaogong had a group of dead soldiers under his command, but no matter how these people looked at it, they were all dead soldiers among the dead soldiers.
Qiu Xinggong secretly hated Shi Wanbao, who claimed to be a hero in Chang'an, was invincible, but fled at the critical moment. Everyone knew that the purpose of these assassins was very clear, just to kill Li Daoxuan. Shi Wanbao said that it was to lead the enemy away, and it was a despicable and shameless betrayal when he was separated from Li Daoxuan at this time. Qiu Xinggong watched Li Daoxuan be killed, but he was helpless, just because the killer was entangled around him, it was difficult for him to move one step.
A man was stabbed by him with a spear, but before he could get up, he still had the last bit of strength and reached out to grab Qiu Xinggong's arm.
Qiu Xinggong was shocked, not knowing who could train these desperate warriors. The assassin was so powerful that Qiu Xinggong was grabbed by him, and he felt that he could no longer break free except for the assassin or his own wrist.
But under the tide of swords, even if he wants to play a hero, he will not be able to cut off his arm!
How long can he support his body with a corpse of about a hundred pounds?
In a flash, he was stabbed three times and slashed seven times. With a shocking roar, he finally broke free from the body and flew out from afar. But he was overdrawn. Although he was in the snow and ice, he was bleeding and sweating until exhausted. He knew that he could not hold on for long.
Qiu Xinggong relaxed his body, but he was hit hard on his head. He felt his mind rumbling. His eyes turned black and he fell softly. When he fell down, he felt that the boundless darkness obliterated him. Whose subordinates were these people? Was Xiao Buyi sent him? This was the last thought he fainted.
Because he was like Li Daoxuan, he couldn't think of anyone else who would deal with them like this except Xiao Buyi!
When the assassin saw Qiu Xinggong fall to the ground, he did not take any action. Instead, he took a few steps back at the same time. He felt respect in his cold eyes.
In any case, Qiu Xinggong finally acted like a man, like a hero. He could have run away like Shi Wanbao, but he left his hope of living for others. However, the hero never ended well!
Li Daoxuan and the other two were killed, injured and fled. The assassin did not pursue Shi Wanbao further because their goal had reached.
One person walked to Li Daoxuan's body, wiped the blood on his head dry with white snow, and looked carefully for a while before walking towards the foot of the mountain. There was a person standing there and coughing gently. Before Li Daoxuan died, he heard the sound of coughing. It was the man who made it.
"Miss, Li Daoxuan died, Qiu Xinggong was seriously injured, Shi Wanbao escaped, should he kill Qiu Xinggong?"
The man turned around, his face haggard, but it was Pei Mingcui. Li Daoxuan and Qiu Xinggong were obviously thinking about everything wrong. They never dreamed that the person who wanted to take their lives was someone who had nothing to do with them.
Pei Mingcui was not sad at this time, or it could be said that she was so sad that she was so sad. She stared at the corpses everywhere and asked, "What's the situation with us?"
"Twelve people died and seven were injured. Li Daoxuan was indeed very skilled, and most of the people killed by him accounted for him."
"No matter how hard he is, he will die. Unfortunately... if he doesn't die, he will be considered a talent in the Li family's clan." Pei Mingcui said indifferently: "Qiu Xinggong is a man, so he can save his life. Besides, we need him to do something, take away the dead dead soldiers, handle the rest according to the arrangement, and then leave here."
She ordered the order and was executed meticulously. Pei Mingcui got on the horse first, and then got on the carriage after galloping for several miles.
The wind was howling in the wild, and the car was as warm as spring. She sat in the carriage, with a blank expression, and no one knew what she was thinking. After a long time, the shadow climbed onto the carriage: "Miss, what will we do next?" "If Qiu Xinggong could wake up, he would definitely bring Li Daoxuan's head to Li Jiancheng. Qiu Xinggong, who was furious, would probably calculate the account on the head of the Hebei army. Isn't it very lively now?" Pei Mingcui murmured.
"They may also calculate this account on Xiao Buyi's head." Shadow reminded.
Pei Mingcui smiled, "Is there any difference? No matter how they calculate, there is no difference between Li Tang being hit by the ground."
Shadow was silent for a long time, "Miss, what will we do then?"
"Wait." Pei Mingcui spitted out a word, looked at the oil lamp, his face dark.00k
The shadow said: "Miss, Li Xuanba is invisible in the dark, heartless and righteous. He can withstand the fake death for several years and not meet everyone. I'm just afraid he won't see you."
Pei Mingcui smiled indifferently, "Why don't he want to see me? Is there really nothing to say between me and him? Don't worry, I will do whatever I want to do. If he doesn't want to see me, I will continue to kill until he wants to see me!"
When Qiu Xinggong woke up, he felt his whole body stiff. Looking at the snowy sky, he didn't know how long he had fainted, but he felt that everything was a nightmare.
He struggled to stand up barely, and the wound was frozen and connected to Zhengyi, which was numb and painful.
This kind of frostbite is extremely dangerous, but Qiu Xinggong no longer cared about this danger. Scenes flashed before his eyes. Qiu Xinggong trembled all over, turned his head and looked over, and knelt down weakly.
The snow was messy and bloody. I don’t know if it was the enemy or the blood of my own people. There was a head not far away, which was the head of King Yong!
King Yong Li Daoxuan's eyes were full of disbelief, and Qiu Xinggong also had disbelief. He didn't believe that King Yong, who had been giving advice to the country not long ago, would suddenly die. He knew that he had not been dizzy for a long time, because if it was too long, he would be frozen to death in the snow.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Qiu Xinggong murmured to himself, stretching out his hands to hold up King Yong's head. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. Qiu Xinggong trembled all over, trying to get the weapons, but found that the ground was clean. Not only was the enemy's body missing, but even his spear was missing.
Qiu Xinggong was inexplicably sad and angry. He clenched his fists and turned his head to look over. He only saw dozens of cavalry rushing out of the darkness, with the leader, but Gao Yaxian.
When Gao Yaxian saw someone blocking the road, he immediately stopped his horse and barely recognized Qiu Xinggong. When he saw his clothes were torn and blood-stained, he said in horror: "General Qiu. What's going on? What about King Yong?"
His eyes turned, and when he saw a head on the ground, he was shocked. He said in a trembling voice: "Is it King Yong?"
Su Dingfang and Li Daoxuan broke down, and Li Daoxuan left angrily. After Gao Yaxian persuaded Su Dingfang, he immediately rushed to chase him to show sincerity. However, he never expected that there was such murderous intent in the snowy night.
Qiu Xinggong laughed wildly at the sky and said, "Gao Yaxian, don't you dare to admit it after you did it?"
Gao Yaxian was stunned, "What do you admit?" He said in a flash of surprise: "Do you think King Yong is the one who kills us?"
"If it weren't for you, who could do this at this time?" Qiu Xinggong said angrily: "Gao Yaxian. You have the affair, just kill me together."
He stepped forward a few steps and was full of momentum. Although the Hebei army was surprised, most of them were dissatisfied. Gao Yaxian endured the shock and said in a deep voice, "There must be a misunderstanding here, please let General Qiu beg for help.
Before he finished speaking, he heard Qiu Xinggong shouting and flew up in the air. He had already attacked Gao Yaxian.
The generals from Hebei were about to step forward, and Gao Yaxian shouted, "Don't do it!" Before his voice fell, the man had already left his saddle and flew up on the ground. Qiu Xinggong jumped onto the horse and urged the horse to move forward. After several steps, he leaned over to grab Li Daoxuan's head and rushed into the darkness.
The sound of hooves went away, and the generals from Hebei scolded each other, wanting to chase after him. Gao Yaxian frowned and stopped his subordinates' actions.
He has not recovered from his shock yet. He even didn't know which force was the one who killed Li Daoxuan. But judging from the messy footprints in the snow, Li Daoxuan and others were definitely besieged by dozens of people!
This is Hanoi. According to Gao Yaxian's idea, Xiao Buyi should be secretly causing trouble, because who else has such thundering means to kill Li Daoxuan in a flash?
When Li Daoxuan dies, as long as he has a little brain, he will know what impact it will have on the Tang army and the Hebei Army Alliance! As long as he has a little brain, he will know that it will be extremely beneficial to Xiao Buyi!
Li Daoxuan is a relative of the Tang Dynasty and is also an extremely important commander of Li Tang. His death here is self-evident. Will Li Jiancheng give up on forming an alliance? Will Li Yuan be angry with the Hebei army? The impact caused by this moment was so fierce that Gao Yaxian could not digest for a while.
Gao Yaxian was not stupid at all. When he saw Qiu Xinggong rushing over, he did not fight back, but instead gave the war horse to Qiu Xinggong. This was the first step in his thoughts. He could not move Qiu Xinggong at all. As long as he took action, he was afraid that the bad debt would not be explained clearly.
Everyone saw Gao Yaxian pondering solemnly, but they were talking about it, just talking about whom Li Daoxuan was killed, Qiu Xinggong was ungrateful. Gao Yaxian was already making a decision quickly, "Wang Xiaohu, go back to General Su immediately and tell him what happened here, and ask him to move the camp immediately, towards Changping... No, retreat to Gongcheng, be quick."
Assuming that the person who killed Li Daoxuan was Xiao Buyi, he would probably know Su Dingfang's hiding place, and Su Dingfang could be said to be extremely dangerous.
He asked Su Dingfang not to retreat to Changping, but to the direction of Gongcheng, but was afraid that Su Dingfang would act voluntarily and thoughtfully.
After saying a few more words in Wang Xiaohu's ear, Wang Xiaohu took the order, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the valley where Su Dingfang's troops were located. Gao Yaxian ordered again: "Dong Kangmai, go to Gongcheng immediately and tell him about the situation here in Changle." One person took the order, ran out of the valley, and galloped eastward. After Gao Yaxian finished his order, he calmed down, "Let's go and see the king's general with me."
Wang Fubao was stationed in Changping and had been in secret contact with Li Jiancheng. Gao Yaxian just wanted to contact Wang Fubao as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures. Everyone rushed north and disappeared into the darkness. Wang Xiaohu ran alone and soon arrived at Su Dingfang's military camp.
Su Dingfang was still not asleep.
In fact, Su Dingfang was not an ignorant person. After Li Daoxuan left, he felt regretful. Since Li Daoxuan was named king, his status in the Tang army was self-evident. This time, Li Yuan sent the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the Yong King Li Daoxuan to assist Dou Jiande and attack Xiao Buyi together, which shows that he attached great importance to this joint effort. He scolded Li Daoxuan. If it was passed into Dou Jiande's ears, Dou Jiande would definitely not be happy.
Su Dingfang was not afraid of Dou Jiande getting angry, because Dou Jiande rarely had any opponents angry. If Li Mi used food and grass to gather his subordinates together, then Dou Jiande used his brotherhood to win over everyone. It is not easy for everyone to survive to this point, and it is not easy for him to compete with the upstarts of the gentry as a civilian. If the alliance cannot be formed because of his momentary spirit, then he will be dissatisfied.
Seeing Wang Xiaohu rushing in, Su Dingfang suddenly stood up, "Does Li Daoxuan refuse to turn around?"
Wang Xiaohu's face was solemn, "General Su... Li Daoxuan is dead."
Su Dingfang almost thought it was his own illusion. How could Li Daoxuan die? He was very skilled in martial arts and was surrounded by Qiu Xinggong, Shi Wanbao and others. How could he die suddenly?
Wang Xiaohu quickly said what he saw at that time and then said Gao Yaxian's orders in a tactful manner. Su Dingfang pondered for a long time, "What General Gao said makes sense."
Wang Xiaohu sighed. "General Su, where should we retreat?"
Su Dingfang frowned and said, "The situation is not clear at the moment. If Li Jiancheng suspected that we would attack us and retreat to Changping, he might be attacked from both sides. King Changle is now in Gongcheng, and we should go there to meet him. Xiao Hu, please send the order quickly and order a team of people to find out the movements outside the valley. If there is no abnormality, we will set up the camp overnight!"
Drawing the camp on a snowy night is undoubtedly an extremely painful thing, but it is still insignificant compared to life.
Su Dingfang had fought with Xiao Buyi, and had heard of many things in his place. He was quite afraid of Xiao Buyi's elusiveness and was very cautious.
The Hebei army first investigated the situation, then set off overnight, so naturally they did not sleep all night. Xiao Buyi did not fight to the forefront. At present, he is reviewing the memorials in Hanoi.
No matter where he goes, the official documents from the three provinces and six ministries will be passed on and asked him to decide.
He looked at the memorial, but Si Nan looked at Xiao Buyi.
In the bright mansion, the two sat silently. Xiao Buyi finally looked up and said, "Sinan, although I first arrived in Hanoi, there are at least 3,000 well-trained elite soldiers here, and hundreds of highly skilled personal guards protect me. I will not travel alone as before, and there will be no danger. It is late at night. Go back and rest."
Sinan said: "I'm not sleepy."
Xiao Buyi shook his head helplessly, "We have thought about things that should be thought of many times, and it doesn't make sense to think about them anymore. The key point at the moment is that my elder brother, Li Xuanba, and Pei Ju won't come easily..."
"Are you waiting for news?" Si Nan asked suddenly.
Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "What news is waiting for?"
Si Nan said: "Sun Shaofang, Bat and others have been out for a long time. I believe the news has been found. You have been waiting for this long. Today, if you will not only satisfy the satisfaction of killing a Hebei general, I think... you will definitely do something more."
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Yes, I have been planning how to give them a fatal blow. I took action today, but I want to boost my morale. In recent days, Hawkeye has been staring at the Hebei military and local actions. They have not set up camp in the same place for three consecutive days. It is extremely cunning."
"Do you know where they will stay tonight?" Sinan asked.
Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Then why don't you attack at night and give them a fatal blow?" Sinan asked strangely.
Xiao Buyi sighed, "It's better to be as good as you said. Si Nan, sending troops is not that simple, and Su Dingfang is definitely not a mediocre person. It is not easy to travel from here to where they are stationed, not to mention that they have chosen the terrain very well. Even if we attack, we may not be sure to win. Since we are not sure, we should wait for the opportunity. General Li once taught me that waiting will not kill people, and only by advancing will you die."
Si Nan listened silently, "You trust Qiuyanke and Li Jing very much."
Xiao Buyi said seriously: "I trust you very much, too."
Si Nan lowered her head and said for a while: "Since that's the case, it seems to be tonight..." She was about to get up, and a soldier arrived in a hurry and handed over an urgent letter. Xiao Buyi opened it and his face changed slightly.
Sinan immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "Li Daoxuan is dead."
"Who is Li Daoxuan?" Si Nan asked. Although she had slowly come into contact with the world, she was still concerned about her own affairs. In addition, she was still ignorant about the people in the world.
