Chapter 918: Escape from Chang'an City
Therefore, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie wants to drive Yixi Wangbo and Basang Xi out of Chang'an, even if they let them lead the troops, but the generals below are all pulled up by him, how can they listen to outsiders? To put it bluntly, it is just throwing out an attractive enough illusion. But these two people had to join the army willingly, because if they didn't do this, they wouldn't even have the slightest chance, at least they would be closer to military power.
The spies under Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie finally showed their faces, and soon found Du Qianyun's head, and the inextricable relationship between this person and the Shenwu Army also surfaced. Further investigation, Du Qianyun has frequently traveled between the Ten Princes' Mansion and Xingqing Palace, which is very interesting.
"Lee Seung-hong, Tri Song Detsen......"
Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie hummed softly as he read the names of the two, and a sneer quickly appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, he also understood, no wonder Li Chenghong dared to act without his own permission, and killed Yu Chaoen without his own instructions, among which there must be this person named Du Qianyun threading the needle.
"Order, the Tubo armor guards the Ten Kings' Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission!"
After realizing that Li Chenghong was making trouble behind his back, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie did not hesitate at all, and immediately made a decision and sent someone to completely block the Ten Princes' Mansion in the name of changing guards, so as to completely cut off Li Chenghong's communication with the outside world.
The movement of the Tubo armor was very fast, and the outside of the Ten Kings' mansion was surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and the original Tang guards still wanted to fight for it, but who knew that the Tubo people did not give them a chance at all, and the swords and guns were set up, and they quickly recognized their cowardice, and they put down their weapons one after another, and let the other party dispose of it.
The movement was so loud that Li Chenghong got the news as soon as possible, but he couldn't find Du Ganyun, who was regarded as the backbone, for a while.
"What about Mr. Du, what about Mr. Du, go and invite Mr. Du to me......
The eunuchs were also frightened, and they returned with tears on their faces after a busy job.
"Your Majesty, the Tubo people blocked the door, saying that there was no warrant from the Prime Minister, and no one was allowed to enter or leave!"
When he boarded, Li Chenghong was so frightened that he almost fainted, but fortunately, the eunuchs around him were quick and quickly held him up.
"I, I am the son of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to restrict my freedom......"
I don't know if he was a little frightened, or he didn't choose to say anything in a panic, Li Chenghong uncharacteristically began to curse Ma Xiangzhong Bajie. At this time, the eunuch palace people beside him were frightened, and hurriedly stopped him to prevent him from saying even more troublesome nonsense.
A eunuch also didn't care about the etiquette of respect and humility, and while covering Li Chenghong's mouth, he persuaded with a crying voice:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't say it, the Tubo people are unreasonable, in case, what if they are killed......?
This is true, Li Chenghong seems to have understood, and immediately kept silent, and stomped his foot hard for a long time.
"Mr. misunderstands me, Mr. misunderstands me!"
The eunuch beside him was also excited, as if he remembered something.
"Mr. Du once said that no matter what happens, Your Majesty will only do nothing for yourself, and the Tubo people will not embarrass Your Majesty!"
Li Chenghong was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he didn't remember when Du Qianyun said this.
"Are you not mistaken?"
"How dare the slave and maid deceive the king? It is true that Mr. Du said it!"
At this time, Li Chenghong seemed to have forgotten what he had just blamed Du Qianyun, and patted his chest thankfully.
"It's good that Mr. has an explanation, quickly, help me to the study!"
This little episode was like a small splash in a big river, and it didn't even attract much people's attention, because most people's attention was focused on the battle between Feng Yi and Tongguan. What is there to care about as a puppet genius?
In order to further control the movements of the former ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie directly ordered the whole city to be under martial law day and night, restricting traffic, and the doors of each square should not be opened at will without an order.
After all these measures were promulgated, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie finally let out a long breath, his thunderous disposition must have disrupted the plans of those spies, and the sudden martial law of the whole city did not even give them a chance to report the news.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie couldn't help but relax. Tightly controlled Li Chenghong in the Ten Princes' Mansion and Trisong Detsen in Xingqing Palace, and sent Deputy Prime Minister Yixi Wangpo and Basang Xi to Chang'an, it can be said that this set of combination punches has completely eliminated the conspiracy between Li Chenghong and Trisong Dezan's nephew.
"Go to the prison and bring Cui Lian to me!"
He closed his eyes a little tiredly, maybe now is the time to use this Tang Dynasty prime minister, if this person is willing to show his face, those surging undercurrents in Chang'an City can at least calm down thirty percent. For Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, this magnificent Chang'an City is not only a treasure, but also a heavy burden, the best way to hoe rape is to kill three thousand by mistake rather than let go of one, however, if this is really done, it is bound to further lose people's hearts. Then, the plans he made before, based on Guanzhong, and the world from the east have become empty talk.
This is also the reason why after Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie abolished the throne of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, he set up another emperor who had a lot of roots in Tibet.
About half an hour later, the prostrate prime minister of the Tang Dynasty appeared in front of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie. He took a closer look, only to see that Cui Lian's face was still stained, and although the robe on his body was clean, it was very ill-fitting, and he was obviously in a hurry to find someone else to put it on.
Cui Jian limped when he walked, and he suffered a lot of crimes in prison, especially when Yu Chaoen was in power, he was tortured every day and almost lost his life.
At this time, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was also very emotional in his heart, and his mind gradually flew to ten years ago, when he was not the minister of Tubo who held great power, as a foreign envoy, every time he saw the officials of the Tang Dynasty, he had to deal with it cautiously, especially the prime minister named Li Linfu. As long as the other party looked at him more, his body would feel a shiver unconsciously sparkling.
Now, time has changed, and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is so embarrassed to beg for mercy in front of him, when the world is really unpredictable, it is unbearable to sigh.
"Cui Xianggong, please take a seat, let you be wronged!"
Cui Jian respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted, and said in a trembling voice:
"Cui Mou is grateful to the great minister, so he can survive so far, and he is terrified and ashamed......"
Seeing Cui Lian so deferential, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was quite happy in his heart, his biggest headache was these important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and now there are finally people at the level of prime ministers who have come forward to serve him, are you afraid that there will be no one to follow suit? Yes, he also pretended to be a corporal of Lixian, got up from the couch and came to Cui Lian, personally supported Cui Lian's arms, and invited him to the side of the seat.
"Cui Xianggong, don't be presumptuous, I usually respect the most ......"
Suddenly, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie only felt that his ribs were cold, and then there was a piercing pain in his heart, and his right hand, which was originally holding Cui Lian's left arm, seemed to have lost its strength in an instant. He looked at Cui Lian suspiciously, but from Cui Lian's eyes, he only saw the flames of bitter hatred and anger.
"You ......"
In an instant, Cui Lian's originally slow movements became swift, his right arm was thrown back long, and a short blade with cold light brought out a blood line.
"Cui Mou eats Tang Dynasty Yulu, how can he wag his tail and beg for mercy from you? Today, I will avenge the soldiers and civilians who died tragically under the butcher's knife for the Emperor Taishang!"
After that, Cui Lian's right arm gathered enough strength and stabbed it hard. After all, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie grew up on horseback, and he was powerful and powerful, and he was caught off guard before, but now when he saw the sharp short blade passing through again, he shouted and used all his strength to dodge backwards. But as soon as he exerted his strength, the wound under his ribs hurt so much that he grinned, and he stumbled and fell on his back. In this way, he accidentally dodged the second knife that Cui Jian used enough strength.
Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie fell, Cui Jian stabbed the air, and because of overexertion, his body also lost his balance and fell forward. This fall knocked Cui Lian, who was already weak, into a mess, and the short blade in his hand almost fell off.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie shouted:
"Someone, someone, catch the assassin!"
Before the sound could land, the door of the temple was slammed open from the outside, and the Tibetan warriors in full armor rushed in.
Seeing that half of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's robe had been dyed dark red with blood, the warriors' eyes were cracked, and they dared to slack off, and rushed forward like arrows off the string.
Cui Jian saw that he was about to fail, and with the last of his strength, he slammed up from the ground, raised the short blade high, and twisted around and stabbed Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie hard in the chest.
……
A rope the thickness of a small arm hung a large basket and slowly slid down the city wall, and the basket landed smoothly, and a figure sprang out of the basket, and with his feet on the ground, he ran wildly towards the woods to the south. At this time, it was already dark at night, and he used a thousand taels of gold to buy off a captain who guarded the city wall, and took great risks to escape from Chang'an City. This person is none other than Du Qianyun, the secret agent under Qin Jin.
Early this morning, Du Qianyun had already sensed that something was wrong, and after arranging a series of secret agents, he set out to escape from the city. It is precisely because of this sensitive sense of smell that is different from ordinary people that he has turned danger into danger again and again. After entering the woods, there were already people waiting to answer them.
Du Qianyun didn't say a word, got on the war horse that had been prepared a long time ago, and galloped south with a smoke. He did not dare to return to Tongguan to the east now, and the Tubo people drove to Tongguan and Fengyi County one after another, and now going east is equivalent to throwing themselves into a net, and it is safer to avoid the Tubo people along the way by going south.
