Shi Qingyi returned to Li Shimin, and then, she saw Dugufeng. Dugu Feng, who was dressed in red, was standing in the courtyard with a sword in her arms, and when she saw Shi Qingyi, her eyes showed a hint of joy: "Ah, I finally caught you now, I haven't even seen a shadow these days!" Shi Qingyi knew that she was happy to see the hunt and wanted to have a good fight with herself, so she didn't feel surprised. What surprised her was that the Dugu family would be so generous, and sent the first master of the younger generation of the Dugu family to protect Li Shimin, and since it was Dugu Feng, there was no doubt that the Dugu family could not have any unfavorable thoughts towards Li Shimin, but they wanted to rely on Li Shimin vigorously, it seems that the Dugu family is also not confident in gambling in Luoyang at the moment, so they will naturally prepare to retreat to Guanzhong, but it's a pity. Shi Qingyi said in his heart, with the power of the Dugu family operating in Luoyang for many years, and Wang Shichong's tyrannical and dissatisfied ministers and nobles as allies, the Dugu family may not fail, but unfortunately, even the core of this alliance, the Dugu family, is so lacking in confidence, and it is difficult for this alliance to be almost scattered, and finally broken by Wang Shichong in one fell swoop.

However, the more chaotic Luoyang is, the more it is a good thing for Li Tang in Guanzhong, the only problem now is how to let Li Shimin return to Guanzhong safely, Xiqin Xue Ju's father is brave, the western front in Guanzhong is tight, and the sooner Li Shimin, who has always been the main battle, arrives, the more and more critical the soldiers of the Western Front will be given great confidence.

Li Shimin had been waiting for Shi Qingyi's return, and when he saw Shi Qingyi's figure appear in front of him, Li Shimin immediately rushed to him: "You're back." He said, Shi Qingyi smiled and shrugged: "Yes, I'm back." How's everyone's preparation? The tone was calm, as if he was going home on a regular basis. Li Shimin said to Shi Qingyi: "Everyone has already prepared, just wait for the time to set off immediately." Li Shimin said: "By the way, the ancestor of the Dugu family replied. Because they have been understaffed recently, they won't send more people other than Cousin Dugufeng, but they can notify the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the door at midnight and let us leave. ”

Leaving at midnight? Shi Qingyi looked up at the sky, it was already past the time when they had planned to leave the city, but after night, the whole city was strictly forbidden. The city defense of the eastern capital is full of people and horses of Wang Shichong's family. Shi Qingyi asked suspiciously: "Can the Dugu family still control the soldiers of the city defense?" It's not that she is confused, but if this is really the case, the Xungui group headed by the Dugu family would have collectively turned against the water and let Li Mi's army enter the city.

"I'll tell you this!" Dugu Feng stepped forward and said: "The city defense of the eastern capital is the foundation of Wang Shichong, of course he must take strict precautions, the guards of the city gate are his henchmen and favorite generals, and he will never betray Wang Shichong, but this time it is just that my cousin wants to get out of the city, and it has nothing to do with the infighting in the city." And these generals didn't want to be enemies at the same time as Li Tang and Li Miwagang at this time, so they were able to violate the ban and secretly let their cousin leave. ”

If that's the case, that's understandable. Shi Qingyi nodded, but he had a calculation in his heart: Wang Shichong's vision is not long-term, he has already seen that Li Shimin's important position in the Li Tang Dynasty is the core of the main battle system, once Li Shimin has something. The Li Tang Dynasty may not have any changes in the short term, but it will be in the long run. Li Tang will lose his progress, and will be content to divide one place and lose the ambition to win the world. It's a pity that Wang Shichong has such a vision, but he doesn't have the corresponding guts, if he is decisive enough, he should immediately order Li Shimin to be killed. At this time, Guanzhong was powerless under the attack of Western Qin, and even if Li Shimin was killed, he would not have any threat to him, but unfortunately, this person has always been indecisive, and the generals around him do not have the extraordinary eyes of him. So that the tiger returned to the mountain, and the future troubles were endless.

However, it was the weakness of Wang Shichong's character that made Li Shimin's safe departure, Shi Qingyi said in his heart, at this time, he must not panic, so as not to do anything that stimulates Wang Shichong's sensitive character, making him indecisive and thus missing the opportunity. Thinking of this, Shi Qingyi shook his head at Li Shimin and Dugu Feng: "Going out of the city at night is prone to accidents. On the contrary, it is dawn, although the danger still exists, but in the sun, it is not easy to be hidden......" "Since this is the case, then I will listen to you and set off early tomorrow morning." Li Shimin listened to Shi Qingyi's words, and finally decided to follow Shi Qingyi's words. So the next day, when the west gate of the eastern capital was just opened, a cavalry of more than 100 people rushed out of the city. All the way to the west.

Li Xiuning had already arrived, he was in the army at this time, and the army had already moved to the east in order to be able to meet Li Shimin, and it was less than 20 miles away from the eastern capital at this moment, which was almost the distance to arouse the vigilance of the defenders of the eastern capital, and this cavalry galloped all the way, and it only took half a day to reach the destination and mix with the army, but among them, it was necessary to pass through a valley, where the road was rugged and the jungles on both sides of the cliff were dense, which was easy to ambush. The cavalry came to the front of the valley, as if they also saw the danger of this place, and did not pass through it immediately, but sent scouts to explore the way, and only after repeated several times that no trace of an ambush was found, the cavalry rode on the road again.

The cavalry was about to drive out of the valley, but at this time, the knight at the back was suddenly hit by an arrow in his throat, and the remaining cavalry who fell to the ground immediately knew that it was not good, and hurriedly sprinted with all his strength to rush out, but it was too late, and he heard the sound of heavy objects rolling down in front of him, and the previously camouflaged wood was pushed down the valley and sealed the valley mouth, and some horizontal logs and stones also fell from the cliffs on both sides, causing panic and disrupting the cavalry's originally strict formation, and a group of black-clothed and masked killers jumped down quickly from both sides of the cliff, The slaughter was carried out against the chaotic cavalry, if it was on the plain, these killers would not dare to besiege an elite cavalry even if they were ten times more numerous, but at this moment, relying on the narrow terrain of the valley and the chaos caused by the surprise attack, the killers easily took the lives of a small half of the cavalry at the first moment.

Although the cavalry suffered heavy damage at the first moment, the next moment, with the "dismount, form an infantry formation!" In the shouts of the cavalry officer, they immediately jumped off their horses, so that the target of the obvious target hid behind the horses, and the remaining soldiers began to gather in the open space, and some of the soldiers who were cut off by the killers spontaneously formed a few small circles, and after the formation of the military formation, the number of casualties among the killers began to increase rapidly.

On the cliff, several figures are condescending, looking down on the entire battlefield, the fierce battle in the battlefield continues, although these cavalry are heavily surrounded, but they still have not lost their fighting spirit, they still resist fiercely, in the valley, the corpses of the killer and the cavalry overlap each other. Even the killer had to admit that these knights were worthy of being the elite troops of the Li Tang Dynasty, however, the cavalry who were at an absolute disadvantage were already doomed, and the fierce resistance was just a slight delay in the time of the fall.

Among the figures, a slender and slender figure looked puzzled, she looked at the cavalry who were still fighting desperately in the field, frowned, and then suddenly said: "I haven't seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but since the Dugu family sent that Dugu Feng to protect her, what about her?" "Your Highness is saying that these people are all bait, and Li Shimin came to catch us for the bait." Another figure, also a woman, said in a languid voice. The person in the front glanced at the other party very unceremoniously: "I don't know, but the group of people below is indeed weird, you go and order those killers, end the battle as much as possible, and then find someone to identify whether Li Shimin is among them." The tone of the words was very unkind, it was conceivable that the status of the figure in the first place must be higher than that of the later one, and sure enough, although the figure in the back snorted angrily, he still had to endure and pass on the order: "Speed up the progress immediately, don't worry about casualties." The attacks of the killers who received this order were even more frenzied, and the tide immediately drowned out a dozen cavalrymen who were still fighting bloodily. The killers immediately checked the corpses of all the cavalrymen, and Li Shimin was really no longer among them, although he had expected it in advance, but when the figure learned the news, he was still very disappointed.

"Li Shimin didn't come, he should be the most urgent to return to Guanzhong, and now he actually sent his own subordinates to attract our attention, so where did he go?" A third figure asked. The figure at the head looked at the valley that had been devastated after the fierce battle: "Either he was calm and lurked near the eastern capital, waiting for the opportunity, or" She stomped her foot violently: "Immediately send someone to contact the guard we have planted in the nearby mountains and forests to see where there is no response, and then immediately rush to reinforcements." She had a masked retinue by her side, and immediately jumped off the cliff to deliver orders.

In order to kill Li Shimin smoothly, the masked people laid a net of heaven and earth, not only this avenue, but also the vast mountains and forests are also covered with countless secret sentinels, but it is a pity that Li Shimin is ruthless enough to send his own men to death, and secondly, he must have a master who is proficient in mountain and forest warfare by his side, so that he can unknowingly kill his own secret sentinel and escape with Li Shimin.

As the morning sun slowly strengthened, the figure's long hair gradually glowed softly golden in the sunlight, and she had a pair of beautiful aqua blue eyes, as well as a very classical and beautiful face in the eyes of Westerners. It turned out that she was the Manichaean saintess who fought with Shi Qingyi not long ago for the harmony of the clan, Lianrou. (To be continued......)
