Luoyang line in.

Li Shimin, who was suspected by Xu Jingzong of being in good health, happened to drink with Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong.

Li Shimin never doubted Cheng Yanjin's loyalty, and drove Cheng Yanjin away at that time because Cheng Yanjin had a misunderstanding with Li Chengqian.

Under the circumstances at that time, in order for Li Chengqian to succeed to the throne smoothly after his death, not to mention Cheng Biting Jin or Li Zhi also blasted out.

Now that Cheng Yanjin is called back, it is naturally because he is still alive and needs a general under his command. Moreover, Li Shiji also made great achievements in attacking Goguryeo, and the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was imminent, so even the lieutenant Chi Gong was also summoned to Luoyang.

Cheng Biting Jin took a sip of the white wine in the cup and inhaled the cold air, but there was a happy expression on his face.

Put down the wine glass, with a half-drunk and half-awake look on his face, and said with a big tongue: "If I want Lao Cheng to say, His Royal Highness the Prince's filial piety is rare in ancient and modern times, and only His Majesty can raise such a good son."

This is also Your Majesty's love for the people like a son, and God has given your Majesty a blessing! ”

slapped Cheng Yanjin on the back of him and Li Chengqian as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shimin knew that this was to show him that he had no prejudice against Li Chengqian.

But it made him happy to hear this.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he also said with a big tongue: "Zhijie is right, when it comes to filial piety, he is a big filial son!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eloquent and strategic, no matter which one is rare in ancient and modern times." Cheng Yanjin continued to tout.

Li Shimin was a little unhappy when he heard this, put down his wine glass heavily, tilted his head to look at Cheng Yanjin and asked, "According to what you say, I can't compare to Cheng Qian?"

Recently, Li Shimin has repeatedly asked himself in his heart, and today he asked Cheng Yanjin again with the strength of wine.

Cheng Yanjin seemed to have been prepared, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taught by His Majesty, how can His Majesty ask the ministers?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass, and drank it with a crane of his neck.

Wei Chigong, who had not spoken beside him, couldn't see the expression on his big black face, but he couldn't stop rolling his eyes in his heart, and said secretly: Cheng Yanjin's shamelessness has been taught before, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be so shameless.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Cheng Biting Jin raise his glass and salute him and said, "Why does the old lieutenant keep drinking and don't say a word?"

Hearing this, Wei Chigong glared at Cheng Jin angrily and said, "I'm not as articulate as you!" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed when he heard this: "Your old lieutenant Chi also admits that there is something inferior to my old Cheng." ”

Li Shimin also laughed when he saw this.

Wei Chigong didn't say much, so he drank the wine in the toast in one gulp, and changed the topic: "Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered Song County, and it is time to hand over the front, right?"

Li Shimin's expression was silent when he heard this, and he nodded and said: "The county seat of Yichuan County is only a few dozen miles away from the county seat of Song County, and the striker should be under the city." ”

Cheng Yanjin thought that Li Shimin was worried about Li Chengqian, so he relieved his heart and said: "Your Majesty don't worry, Cai Wenying is just a demon girl, and a group of rabble occupies the small city of Song County. ”

Li Shimin smiled reluctantly when he heard this, although Li Chengqian had not come to Luoyang yet, he knew it in his heart. The rebellion in Songxian County involved Li Zhi and some clans, and also involved the death of Zhou Jin.

------------------------

Cai Wenying's Sanming Immortal Sect is composed of some gangsters, it's okay to cheat some money, let them rebel, and confront the two armies of the imperial court is a fantasy talk.

It's just that Chen Pingping heard from King Dao's subordinates and some scholars and officials: How is Li Chengqian unkind and righteous, and the world is about to be in chaos. I wanted to make a rebellion, grab some gold and silver treasures, and then go into the mountains to live a small life.

Of course, these are Chen Pingping's plans, and Cai Wenying and Huang Feibee are both substitutes for the dead on the surface of Chen Shui's platform.

Three days ago, as soon as the soldiers in several places around Song County moved, Chen Pingping and his gang were about to flee out of the city, but they had no choice but to explore the road and Tianwang were arrested by the Tang army who were guarding outside in advance.

In the past two days, they tried seven or eight times in a row, and none of the people who left the city were spared, and all of them were arrested by the Tang army.

Chen Pingping and his gang had no choice but to go to Cai Wenying's "palace" to see what Cai Wenying was going to do.

The atmosphere in Cai Wenying's "palace" was solemn, and Chief Ma Jiudao was telling everyone about the arrangements for Songxian County's defense.

Cai Wenying, who was on the main seat, pretended to be a bodhisattva and sat with his eyes half-closed, and Li Dinghui, who was at the bottom, lowered his head and counted the prayer beads in his hand, respectfully chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Every time he read a Buddhist scripture, he would make a wish to the Buddha to ensure that he could escape smoothly tonight, and then send the Buddha a mountain of gold and silver.

Chen Pingping, Lu Maolian, and Su Zhenjiao sat with gloomy faces and said nothing, and their eyes swept over the faces of Cai Wenying and Li Dinghui from time to time.

“…… Each of the four walls is guarded by 3,000 sect members, and these sect members are the most loyal to my Sanming Immortal Sect and the Holy Mother, and they should be able to guard for seven days and seven nights.

However, it is now necessary for the Virgin and several heavenly kings to climb the city wall together to encourage the congregation who defend the city. After Ma Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Cai Wenying and waited for her to speak.

Cai Wenying was still holding her tone as before, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Ping lightly and asked, "Has King Chen ever calculated where my Immortal Dynasty will go in seven days?"

Chen Ping glanced at Cai Wenying, and scolded in his heart: Slut, what do you still want about the Immortal Dynasty at this time?

"Ma Tianwang, can we really hold on for seven days?" Lu Maolian couldn't help but ask.

"It should be able to hold it for seven days, but if the imperial court does not withdraw its troops after seven days, Song County will not be able to hold it!" Ma Jiudao's words were sincere.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, raised his head and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty the Emperor doesn't have to worry, the old man watched the sky last night and found that there were changes in the north, and the imperial court would definitely withdraw within five days." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ping turned his head to look at the other Heavenly Kings, and said awe-inspiringly: "When the imperial court retreats, it will be the day of the great prosperity of my Immortal Dynasty, and at that time, I will personally lead the warriors of the Immortal Dynasty to attack Luoyang, and drive His Majesty the Emperor into Luoyang." ”

Cai Wenying nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Since that's the case, let's go to the city wall and have a look." ”

"The ministers must obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor." The five Heavenly Kings stood up at the same time.

Seeing this, Cai Wenying became more and more proud, glanced at the five people expressionlessly, and said in a pinched tone: "Someone who is coming——, prepare my honor guard." ”

When everyone saw this, they cursed in their hearts.

After a while, one hundred and ten Sanming Immortal Sect disciples took out a bunch of colorful and colorful flags and played out the honor guard, and Cai Wenying, who was half-closed eyes, sat on the chariot carried by more than a dozen people, and walked out of her "palace" in a beautiful manner.

Ma Jiudao Chang also changed into a solemn robe, rode a tall horse to lead the way, and went straight to the north gate.

As soon as he crossed the cross street in the city, Li Dinghui rode over on a horse, "Ma Tianwang, is this going to the north gate?"

Ma Jiudao said calmly with a calm face: "Our Lady will inspect the four city gates when she comes out today, and the north gate is facing Yichuan County, so let's go to the north gate first." ”

"Oh!" Li Dinghui followed him in disbelief and continued to walk.

The group walked to the city gate, and the sect members guarding the north gate ran out quickly and knelt on the ground to greet Cai Wenying.

Seeing this, Cai Wenying became more and more relieved, helped the maid to slowly get off the chariot, and let everyone walk slowly to the city wall with Ma Jiudao.

Seeing this, Chen Pingping, Lu Maolian, and Su Zhenjiao did not suspect him, and followed Cai Wenying up.

Only Li Dinghui walked in front and back to see if he didn't go up, Ma Jiudao saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and went directly to the city wall.

Li Dinghui didn't have anywhere else to go at this time, and when he saw that everyone had gone up, he raised his head below and looked at the city wall. Suddenly, he heard the wind behind his head, and when he turned around, he saw that a huge arrow had been shot in front of him.

There was a soft "poof" sound.

Li Dinghui fell to the ground in horror with wide eyes, and the man was already dead.

on the city walls.

"Ma Laojiu, you ** thief, you dare to betray me! I want to pray to let the Eighteen Layers of Hell ......," Cai Wenying, who was under control, yelled at Ma Jiu.

"Phew! You demon girl even dare to call yourself me! Dao King Li Yuanqing's small face was distorted.
