Li Yuanchang was lying in the corner of the blue brick wall of the imperial city several feet high, and vomited nearly a stick of incense in disgust.

Su Lianqing and the Tantai sisters covered their noses and waved their hands: "Sao! Suck to death! A sword wiped him out, how can this be unbearable? ”

Qin Mubai rode on the horse and said with a smile: "Condense the child's urine, the medicinal effect is really violent. ”

The hundreds of cavalry guards laughed obscenely, and the peeing young soldier stepped forward, kicked Li Yuanchang's ass hard, and scolded: "Spit out!" Master's urine is expensive! Ward off evil spirits and ghosts! - Oh, maybe you're an evil ghost and a crooked god, and you only have this reaction after eating the master's urine! ”

Li Yuanchang was vomiting so much that his stomach was cramping, panting wildly, and he couldn't help but vomit after listening to the words of this little pawn. After a short pause, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to scold in a hateful whisper: "If you have the ability, you can try it yourself?" ”

"Yo, still stubborn!" The pawn finally caught a reason, pushed Li Yuanchang to the ground, punched and kicked him, and greeted him like a storm. The brothers next to him also had itchy hands when they saw that he was enjoying the fight, and they participated at the same time.

Qin Mubai sat on the horse with his hands on his chest, quietly watching the show.

Just because you can't kill him doesn't mean you can't beat him hard. As long as there is still a breath left, it will be fine. Li Yuanchang, this animal, if he doesn't repair him ruthlessly, how can he relieve the evil anger in his chest?

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The Lantai sisters couldn't hold back for a long time, and seeing that Qin Mubai didn't stop his subordinates from beating Li Yuanchang, they stepped forward and put those pawns aside.

Li Yuanchang was beaten to the point that he had convulsions all over his body, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he didn't know how many bones were broken, and he had half a life left.

Maybe it was because he knew that he would not escape death, so Li Yuanchang simply hardened to the end.

Lying on the ground and convulsing, he looked sideways and saw the Lantai sisters, and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded like a breath of fire: "Slut! I knew I should have tied you up and let a hundred bulls die alive! ”

"Animals, beg for death!"

The Tantai sisters put up with him for a long time, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Hearing this, the two sisters each flew up at the same time, and kicked at Li Yuanchang's lower body in unison.

"Bang!"

It's like a volley in a soccer game!

Li Yuanchang's lower body was hit by a move, and he actually flew up, hit the city wall heavily and then fell to the ground, fainting on the spot.

"Oops, you've stunned people again, you guys really are!" Qin Mubai shrugged his eyebrows in shock, shook his head and said, "I'm the protagonist, I haven't touched a single hair of him, you guys will clean it up, like words?" ”

"Don't worry, general, look at the villain's methods, he will wake up instantly."

A pawn stepped forward, flipped Li Yuanchang lying on the ground with a toe pick, took out a sharkskin dagger specially equipped with a hundred horsemen from his boots, and with an evil smile, he broke Li Yuanchang's trouser belt and stabbed his white flesh buttocks.

"Ah!! ——”

howling like a pig, Li Yuanchang woke up again.

Everyone laughed with hatred.

Qin Mubai jumped off the horse, walked to Li Yuanchang, who was rolling with his eyes twitching and rolling, and stepped on his chest and trampled him to death.

"Kill me!" Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and roared.

"It's very strong, and you can still roar when you are tortured like this." Qin Mubai half-squatted down and looked down at him, and said in a low voice, "I won't kill you, I'm going to torture you slowly, so that you can't survive or die." If you can't take it anymore, bite your tongue and kill yourself, which will be much more refreshing. Otherwise, you beg me, kneel down and beg me, lick the soles of my feet. Lick once a day, and if it is clean, I will consider not torturing you that day. ”

"Don't you think about it!" Li Yuanchang took a sip, and a ball of bloody phlegm fell on Qin Mubai's pants, and he scolded, "Qin Mubai, you are just a despicable and shameless villain!" Dezhi is rampant, you are angry! I'm curious that it's the prince of the Li family, how dare you do this to me? You will have retribution! ”

"You're right, I'm a vile villain." Qin Mubai said, "To deal with a person like you, if I had been upright and gentlemanly, I would have died a long time ago, and I would have died without even scum." In other words, if I fell into your hands, you still didn't kill me in every possible way, and then kill my relatives and humiliate my wife and concubine? I'm just like that, I'm kind of to you, right? Li Yuanchang, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and if you provoke me, you will be unlucky. I, Qin Mubai, have never harmed anyone in my life, but whoever dares to harm me, I will definitely want him to live rather than die. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but I am a villain, and I will take revenge immediately. Please stop fantasizing about what kind of gentleman and good person I am, I am evil, ruthless and shameless, and I must be a grandmaster. You are a shallow clown who jumps off the beam, and you really don't fall into my eyes. ”

Li Yuanchang closed his eyes in despair.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Li Yuanchang, who is a villain, understands this truth better than anyone else. It was only today that he realized that he didn't know Qin Mubai's opponent before. He was full of illusions that Qin Mubai was a sanctimonious gentleman, and he didn't dare to go out of line with his behavior and behavior.

But today, he realized that he was wrong, so completely wrong, and so clean!

"Okay, I'm throwing in the towel." Li Yuanchang closed his eyes and didn't dare to look up at Qin Mubai, and said, "Give me a refreshing look, kill me with a sword!" ”

"What I've said is not going to change. I will imprison you and torture you every day. and ask for a raid on your house and purge your comrades. As far as I know, there are no less than 100 beautiful women in your house, and you like them all very much. I will take them all into custody and exile them to Lanzhou, where they will be slaves and maidservants and military prostitutes. Li Yuanchang, don't you love to other people's wives the most? Now I'll let you try it too, watching your woman being ridden by thousands of people! Qin Mubai picked the corners of his mouth and said evilly.

"Shame on you! You bastard! Qin Mubai, you can't die well, you have no fart to give birth to a son! Li Yuanchang scolded, clasped Qin Mubai's feet with both hands, and shook desperately from side to side.

"Can you move me?" Qin Mubai used a little dark power under his feet to trample him to death. Although Li Yuanchang was already furious, he had no choice but to suffer a heavy blow to his life, where could he exert much strength, so he couldn't move at all.

"Kill me!!" Li Yuanchang finally collapsed, screaming hysterically and crying.

The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth rose and he smiled with satisfaction, pulled Li Yuanchang's glossy purple yellow deer dragon robe, wiped the bloody phlegm on his trouser legs, let go of his feet, and said: "Li Yuanchang, for a few years, I have never hated a person, never had an enemy in the true sense, you are the first." You have repeatedly provoked me, humiliated me, poisoned me, and if I do not repay you, torture and kill you completely, then I am a hypocrite who does not distinguish between weakness and incompetence. Don't talk to me about repaying virtue with resentment, that's what only obedient idiots do. I've always preferred to be a real villain rather than a hypocrite. So, you deserve to be unlucky—what are you still doing in a daze, getting a cart to load him in, dragging him to the prison of a hundred horsemen, treating him with good wine and meat, treating him with medicine, and serving and guarding him! Let him live well and let me torture. If he dies, I will ask you! ”

"No!"

"Qin Mubai, you beast! You're a madman! You're not human! You are a demon beast! Li Yuanchang was completely desperate, and shouted in fear and grief.

"Thanks for the compliment." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, turned over and rode on the horse, looked at Li Yuanchang, and said, "Scold, the harder you scold, the more painful the struggle, the more energetic I am when I torture you, the more happy I am." ”

"You! ......" Li Yuanchang couldn't scold, and he cried loudly when he lay on the ground and beat his chest.

"Please, kill me! Kill me——!!! ”

The hundred cavalry guards were quick to do things, and soon found a car, tied Li Yuanchang tightly, gagged his mouth and threw him in, and dragged him to the hundred cavalry camp.

Su Lianqing and the Lantai sisters' faces were a little pale, and they didn't dare to look at Qin Mubai with their eyes.

"Why, even you are scared?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

Su Lianqing pursed her lips and said in an urn voice, "I can't think of wow, General Qin." You are vicious, much more vicious than we are. It's not too much to torture Li Yuanchang no matter how much you want to torture him. But how did the wives and concubines in his family recruit you to provoke you, and you want to send them to the border and stuff them in the barracks as prostitutes? ”

"I bluffed him. How could I possibly do such a thing? Lanzhou is my father's territory, and the military discipline is quite strict, how can it be a prostitute in the army? Qin Mubai said with a smile, "A birdman like Li Yuanchang wants to use his human way to fight his weakness with his own body." In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he was already a dead end, so he simply tried to get angry with me, just to provoke me to kill him and give him a relief. If I don't, I'm going to torture him slowly. He likes to play with other people's wives the most, taking this as the greatest pleasure; I had to let the hundred or so maids he kept in the palace to intimidate him and give him the greatest pain. If not, how can it be considered enjoyable? ”

The three girls shuddered in unison, and Su Lianqing said, "You are so terrible. It seems that offending no one can offend you. ”

"Yes, Su Lianqing?" Qin Mubai smiled coldly and said, "Then tell me now, have you ever done anything to be sorry for me?" ”

Su Lianqing's inexplicable body trembled, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, and exclaimed, "Why are you talking like that?" I came from Xiangzhou to work for you, and you suspect that I am disloyal to you? ”

"What the facts are, you know in your heart, I don't want to say more." Qin Mubai didn't look at her, and said to the air in front of him, "I'll just say one sentence, and I won't take it as an example." ”

After that, Qin Mubai stepped forward and walked slowly.

Su Lianqing's face was cold in a sweat, almost petrified. Sister Tantai looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister Su, what did you do to be sorry for the general?" Have you betrayed him? ”

Su Lianqing stared at Qin Mubai who was gradually moving away with wide eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded blankly, and hurriedly shook his head in panic, saying, "Don't ask more!" Qin, Qin Mubai, it's really terrifying! I was wrong, I shouldn't have ...... Forget it, fortunately, he spared me. I don't fantasize about being a lady or a female official, I still honestly go back to Wu Dong's house and be her personal maid! ”

"What the hell is going on?" The Tantai sisters were confused and puzzled.

"Don't ask! Don't ask again! Or I'll poison you!" ”

Qin Mubai rode a horse and slowly walked near the Tongxun Gate where the soldiers and horses were chaotic and the corpses were bloody, thoughtful.

Just now, he deceived Su Lianqing like this, and he immediately confirmed the guess in his heart.

That's right, from the very beginning, the whole thing was in the emperor's grasp and planning. Including the mission and origin of Su Lianqing and the Lantai sisters, what the prince and Li Yuanchang have been plotting and what they want to do, he knows it all.

The reason, of course, is that Su Lianqing, a woman who pretends to be smart on all sides, has also become the emperor's spy.

Qin Mubai was very glad that he didn't go beyond Lei Chi to do some stupid things, metaphorically investigating the secrets in Li Yuanchang's hands, metaphorically not getting too close to either the prince and the king of Wei, metaphorically, he didn't open it privately or hide it after getting the secret edict of the first emperor.

It turned out that Emperor Li Shimin knew everything about his every move from beginning to end.

Skate on thin ice!

Qin Mubai closed his eyes and let out a long sigh leisurely!

This is such a world, such an officialdom, such a court!

There are no eternal enemies, no true friends, only eternal interests. Kings and courtiers, after all, cannot be true confidants and friends. Even if this courtier is the king's own flesh and blood, he can't. Li Shimin couldn't even believe in his own son, and he had to be tempted, but the prince was recruited and defeated, and he was just a son-in-law and courtier, what was it in his eyes? If there is the slightest act of disobedience, it will be wiped out in an instant!

……

Qin Mubai rode a horse, slowly paced to Taile Gate, and went up to the city tower, where Li Daozong was still there.

"What's the situation, have you caught Li Yuanchang?" Li Daozong asked.

Qin Mubai nodded and said, "The soldiers and horses of the East Palace are vulnerable, and Li Yuanchang and the others are even straw bales, and they succeeded in one blow and captured Li Yuanchang alive. I have secretly taken them to the prison of the Hundred Horsemen, and I have kept them under close guard. ”

Li Daozong exhaled lightly, patted Qin Mubai's shoulder, turned his head to look at the distant sky, and said, "Li Yuanchang, he should have died in the chaos." ”

"I'll arrange it." Qin Mubai responded. He had expected this to be the outcome. Li Yuanchang is just the fuse in this huge political storm. His life and death have long been irrelevant to the overall situation, and the emperor doesn't want to see him again and face him again.

Perhaps, when the holy decree in Li Yuanchang's hand was stolen, he was already a corpse. For the emperor, he had long been meaningless.

"Mu Bai...... Now, what are your plans? Li Daozong suddenly asked a question that made Qin Mubai a little incomprehensible.

Qin Mubai frowned and asked rhetorically, "What is the prince asking...... What is the plan? ”

"What do you say?" Li Daozong smiled lightly and played Tai Chi with him.

Qin Mubai came back to his senses at this time, it turned out that Li Daozong was referring to the issue of establishing a prince.

The emperor's illness released all the hidden crises in the court. It's like going over the mountains to hunt the grass and startle the snake, all the prey has fled out of the grass in a hurry, and after a hunt, the big knot is about to be seen.

This may be the way Li Shimin has no choice. In his heart, it should have been decided. Prince Li Chengqian, he must be abolished, but there is no excellent way and reason. Previously, in Su Lianqing's place, the emperor must have known that Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian had a conspiracy, so he wanted to capture the old man and take the preemptive action.

However, Li Shimin still gave Li Chengqian a chance. Early today, if Li Chengqian had not jumped out to question Li Zhiguo, and had stopped muddying the waters more and more, then he would at least be safe and sound for now. It's a pity that Li Chengqian had already sentenced himself to death, so he put his death to life and openly fought back.

Thus, his end was sealed.

During the whole thing, Li Shimin always hid in the deep dormitory, "lying sick" and did not show up. But this series of his wrists is enough to amaze, amaze, and creepy.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but think of what his father said a few years ago when he first entered his career: never underestimate the emperor. Everything is under his control.

Now it seems that whether it is the overall situation of the court or the subtleties, Li Shimin knows everything and arranges it seamlessly.

"Everyone, including me, Qin Mubai, is just a chess piece under him......" Qin Mubai sighed deeply in his heart!

"Why don't you speak?" Li Daozong asked again and said, "You don't want to go to Lanzhou and leave, right?" ”

"Don't hide it from the prince, I have this thought." Qin Mubai said, "I just want to do some things within my duty, what is the overall situation of the court, I don't want to mess with it." In addition to being dangerous, it is also a little cruel. Rather than get involved in such a thing, I'd rather go to the border and deal with the enemy. On the battlefield, I can kill people without blinking; In Chang'an, if you win or lose, you can only sigh. ”

After hearing this, Li Daozong squinted his eyes slightly, sighed leisurely, nodded and said, "Yes!" Victorious and defeated, they can only sigh. In fact, the essence of the prince is not bad, and it is enough to sigh at this point today. I and other outsiders are still like this, can you imagine the pain in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor at this moment? ”

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is okay?" ”

"I heard that he was really sick after the East Palace rebelled, and he couldn't afford to be sick." Li Daozong said, "Maybe he expected such a thing, but he still couldn't withstand such a blow." What kind of person is the emperor, he was born into a bloody and bloody journey when he was a teenager, and he has experienced many winds and waves, and he can also fall ill in such a blow. It can be seen that the prince has caused him great harm. After all, the emperor is also a human being, a flesh and blood body, with seven emotions and six desires. Many times, we see him as a god, a symbol, but we ignore that he is also a husband, a father, and a son. It's not easy! - Mu Bai, I have been a brother to the emperor for decades, and I must know him better than you. At this moment I have a message for you, I hope you will listen to it, write it down, and don't forget. ”

"Lord Wang, please speak."

"No matter what the emperor does, even if there is something sorry for you, don't blame him." Li Daozong looked into the distance and said softly, "It's like, to this day, the crown prince is not to blame the emperor." ”

"Hmm......" Qin Mubai replied and nodded slightly.

"A man, when he has the world in mind and shoulders responsibility, often can't help himself. Because, he is responsible for more people, for the dynasty, and for history. Li Daozong said, "Your Majesty may not be able to be a good son, a good husband, a good brother, and a good father in this life, but he is a good emperor." He is worthy of the world and history, and has a clear conscience. ”

Qin Mubai was speechless, mixed with feelings.

The two stood side by side and looked at the starry chessboard-like Chang'an City, speechless for a long time. In the end, Li Daozong said: "The rest of the affairs in the palace will be handed over to me for the time being." You don't have to rush to see the emperor, go back and call Gao Yang, and go home to have a look. At the moment, it is your family who is most worried about you, go back to accompany them. I'll send someone to call you for something. ”

"It's fine. Thank you. Qin Mubai took the Son of Heaven Sword and handed it back to Li Daozong, saluted him, and went down to the city tower.

Su Lianqing and the other three girls were waiting for him here, and when they saw him, they didn't dare to say much, so they silently followed him to the harem.

In front of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, there are many guards of the Royal Forest Gate, and the security is quite strict. Qin Mubai stopped and said to Su Lianqing: "At this time, it is inconvenient to enter and exit the harem, so I don't bother to speak." You go in and invite Princess Gaoyang out. I said I was going to take her home and say hello to my mother. ”

Su Lianqing bit her lip and hesitated, seeing Qin Mubai's resolute attitude, she had no choice but to accept her fate and nodded honestly, stepped forward to show a waist card, and walked into the Daming Palace in a grand manner.

Sister Tantai's eyes widened in surprise suddenly, and she said in a low voice: "It turns out that Sister Su really has another way, and even the harem of the imperial city can travel unimpeded!" ”

"Her skills and skills are far beyond your reach." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "But her virtue is destined to not be truly trusted by others." ”

"General Jin Yan, we will remember!" The Tantai sisters suddenly fell down in a panic.

"Get up, what is this for? I don't mean to insinuate. Qin Mubai said, "The emperor once mentioned one thing to me before, saying that to protect the female dependents of the harem, it is always inconvenient to use some hundred horsemen or eunuchs, and it is most appropriate to recruit a few female generals or female soldiers." I see that you two are loyal and reliable, how about it, are you interested in becoming an official and a half-official position in the hundred horses? ”

The second daughter was immediately overjoyed, and even kowtowed: "Everything is up to the general!" ”

"Then let's do it first, the specific situation has to be decided by the emperor, after all, it is a new thing." Qin Mubai exhaled lightly and smiled slightly, "Get up!" From now on, your only master will be the Emperor. Remember! ”

The two sisters glanced at each other and nodded solemnly together: "We remember!" The emperor is our only master; But the general, is our reborn parent! ”
