Volume 2: The Dragons Present Chapter 317 The Changes of the Xuanwu Gate
Li Jiancheng looked at the third brother Li Yuanji, who was so strange in front of him, how could he not overlap this person with the original Li Yuanji, and finally agreed with Li Shimin's words at this time, Li Yuanji killed the fool of the fourth brother Li Yuanba, it could not be an unintentional mistake, it must be carefully planned to think of the chill in my heart.
Li Yuanji didn't notice the change in the expression of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng's face, and shouted loudly to the guards outside the main hall: "Li An, quickly send Zhang Jieyu back to the palace, remember not to let others find out, otherwise a certain family will take your dog's life, and by the way, Chang He, the commander of the guards guarding the palace gate, will come to see me!" ”
Li Jiancheng looked at the third brother Li Yuanji so vigorously and resolutely, the alarm bell in his heart had sounded, if he could survive this time, he must take good care of Li Yuanji, don't defeat the second brother Li Shimin when the time comes, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to be stabbed from behind by the other party.
Li Yuanji finally arranged things properly, then let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, turned to look at the eldest brother Li Jiancheng who had an ugly face behind him, thinking of Fang Cai's self, it seemed that he was a little too exposed, but now that it has become such a grim form, it doesn't matter if he is re-recognized by the other party.
For a moment, the hall fell silent again, as if both of them were very smart, and did not break the window like a thin layer of paper.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and I saw a burly man sweating profusely pushing the door in, looking at the two of them, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and clasped his fists with both hands, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the little Chang He came to report!" ”
The crown prince Li Jiancheng looked at Chang He, who was dismissed to Yunzhou by his father Emperor Li Yuan one by one in his henchmen, and in order to be able to preserve his position, he had to make friends with more ministers, and subtly tied the other party firmly to his own warship.
"Commander Chang asked you to come so late to ask for something!" Li Jiancheng thought that he would meet his father tomorrow, and if he wanted to kill his rival Li Shimin before that, he could only kill him at the Xuanwu Gate, the only way for the last dynasty, and then force the palace to survive.
Chang He saw a gleam in his eyes when he saw Li Jiancheng, who was solemn, obviously something bad was about to happen, and sure enough, he heard the other party say slowly, "Commander Chang, a certain family is going to kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in Xuanwumen tomorrow, so you need your commander's soldiers and horses to cooperate with a certain family!" ”
For a while, the hall was quiet and terrifying, and Chang He felt that his throat was a little dry, after all, he never thought that the crown prince Li Jiancheng would be so ruthless, and he was going to kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and force Li Yuan to ascend the throne and claim the throne, such a huge amount of information was enough to make Chang He toss and turn in this dark night.
Li Jiancheng seemed to know that this matter was more important, so he was not in a hurry to let Chang He nod and agree, but sat patiently in the first place and waited for the other party, a pair of white palms tapping regularly on the exquisite table.
Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, did not have the good cultivation of Li Jiancheng, but looked at Chang He standing in the center with an impatient look, "Chang He, what are you still hesitating, if you don't agree to a certain family, I will kill you!" As he spoke, the horse lance in his hand shook out a beautiful spear flower.
Chang He was originally ready to think about it, after all, he was now the work of Li Jiancheng, the prince of the grass on the wall, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but for Li Yuanji's scolding, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head, for fear that the fierce light in his eyes would be discovered by the other party, and the balance in his heart suddenly shifted to Li Shimin's side.
"Your Highness will definitely guarantee to complete the task, and I hope to become your minister of the dragon when the time comes!" Chang He lifted it again
When he got up, there was a look of excitement on his face, as if it was a very honorable thing to become Li Jiancheng's minister from the dragon.
Li Jiancheng's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and a flash of light flashed, and then he looked at Chang He, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Commander Chang, in the future, you will feel that the decision you made at this moment will be extremely correct!" ”
Chang He also showed a look of excitement on his face for Li Jiancheng's praise, looked at Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and pretended to be frightened, and then cautiously looked at Li Jiancheng in the first place, "Your Highness, it's not too late, and a certain family will leave and arrange things!" ”
Li Yuanji looked at Chang He, who had exited the hall, with a look of disdain on his face: "Hmph! Such a guy can become the commander of the guards of the palace, how can people rest assured in the future! ”
Chang He, who was going away outside the main hall, heard Li Yuanji's unscrupulous voice again, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, and his heart was even more firm in the decision he had just made, and he immediately took a step towards the mansion of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and did not forget to look behind him, afraid that there would be something to follow him.
"Your Highness Chang He is asking to see you outside the mansion!" A guard wearing fine armor came to the room of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and bowed slightly with his hands into fists, and cautiously said to Li Shimin, who was reading at night with candles not far in front of him.
"Oh? Chang He actually asked to see him, why didn't he let the other party in? Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Li Feng with some dissatisfaction, as if he had thought of something, and got up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
Chang He stood outside the mansion and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, would refuse to meet him, so it would be in vain how he wanted to help the other party survive.
"I'm afraid that Commander Chang came here so late, I'm afraid there is something important, please enter the mansion quickly!" When Chang He was thinking, Li Shimin had already come to the other party, stretched out his hand and was about to invite the other party into the mansion.
Chang He couldn't help but feel a little flattered when he saw Li Shimin, after all, military generals like himself abound in the camp of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not be flattered to receive such a solemn reception from the other party.
"Your Highness has something important to tell you!" Chang He's voice trembled a little, and it seemed that his voice was a little out of shape because of anxiety.
Hearing this, a solemn look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he quietly walked towards his mansion with the other party.
In the main hall, Li Shimin sat on the first place, looking at Chang He who was standing cautiously below, his voice was a little warm, like a big brother next door, giving people a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze: "Commander Chang, I don't know what you are talking about?" ”
Wei Chi Jingde was originally ready to leave after the eldest grandson Wuji left, but when he thought of this extraordinary period, he would stand behind Li Shimin like a door god like Fang Cai.
"Boom! Your Royal Highness, tomorrow morning, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji are ready to lead their subordinates to kill you in Xuanwumen, because this matter is very important, so you can't take care of the others and leave Li Jiancheng's residence and come here non-stop! Chang He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, facing the pressure of the black-faced Divine Captain Chi Jingde was really very great, as if the nine major mountains were pressing heavily on his shoulders.
"What?" Before Li Shimin, who was in the first place, could speak, he heard that Wei Chi Jingde's face behind him had changed drastically, and he exclaimed.
Li Shimin's eyes full of wisdom were staring at each other for a moment at the moment, obviously Chang He's words were so huge, although he had heard that the two of them were going to kill themselves at the send-off banquet in a few days, but for some reason they advanced the time, "How credible are the words you said?" ”
For Qin King Li Shimin to ask Chang He where he still didn't know that the other party was doubting himself,
At that moment, he stretched out his right hand and raised three fingers high, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn, "I often swear, if the previous words are even the slightest false, I will be hit by five thunders!" ”
Li Shimin saw Chang He swearing, he already believed the previous words in his heart, his eyes closed slightly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, I don't know how long it took for his eyes to open like a radiant light, "Chang He thank you very much for risking your life to tell me about this, if you can escape this nirvana, I will definitely repay you well in the future!" ”
Chang He's stiff body rattled at Li Shimin's promise, and a look of excitement appeared on his face, and then he arched his hands into fists and disappeared into the night.
Li Shimin stretched out his left hand and kneaded it on his green tendons and thunderous blood vessels, and after a long time, he was a little tired and said to Wei Chi Jingde, who looked like a javelin, in a cold voice: "Go!" Invite the eldest grandson Wuji and others! ”
Hearing this, Wei Chi Jingde nodded, strode towards the outside of the main hall, and disappeared into the extremely dark night.
Li Shimin looked at the disappearing back of Yu Chi Jingde, his dark eyes appeared with a touch of blood, his handsome face became even more hideous, where was the original benevolent appearance, "My good big brother, I didn't expect you to be so uncontrollable, if you are in front of your own prince, I am afraid you can survive for a while longer, after all, it is much stronger than me to kill you tomorrow!" Then it was like a demon coming out of hell and let out a sharp laugh.
Chang He's heart was full of excitement when he left the Qin Palace, and he walked briskly towards the Xuanwu Gate he was guarding, as if he was in a good mood, he couldn't stop humming an unknown tune, and he didn't notice a figure not far in front of him.
"Commander Chang, it seems that you are in a good mood!" A cold voice sounded in Chang He's ears.
"Who are you?" Chang Heyan's face changed dramatically when he heard this, and then he stood firmly, a pair of copper bell eyes stared at the looming figure in the distance, a trace of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his throat couldn't help but squirm up and down, as if he thought that the other party was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng's people.
Listening to the crisp footsteps, as if a powerful drum beat on the other party's heart, I saw a man in a black robe, looking at him with a smile.
"You are a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Chang He saw the white-haired young man's pupils shrink suddenly, as if he was facing a flood beast, and the pressure was even greater than that of Wei Chi Jingde.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you mean that guy Li Jiancheng?" Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Qi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a touch of white teeth, like a big brother next door bathing in the spring breeze, if he didn't feel the unparalleled pressure on his body, he couldn't have thought that this harmless guy was a big master.
The corners of Chang He's mouth twitched when he heard this, thinking that this person was not Li Jiancheng's subordinate as he thought, and the careful liver that he had raised high in his heart could finally be quietly put down, but he still looked at the other party vigilantly with a look of vigilance.
"Don't talk nonsense, you should know this!" As he spoke, a golden token appeared in his hand, and a yin character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing was engraved on it.
"What?" Chang He's face changed greatly the moment he saw that token, and then he stroked his chest with his left hand, his raised head was already lowered at this time, and a pair of Tongling big eyes became extremely red, like a madman kneeling down to Zhou Qi.
"Tomorrow, I think it will be Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin fighting in Xuanwu Gate, so a certain family ordered you to lead your soldiers and horses to guard with my subordinates, you shouldn't refuse!" ... to be continued
