Chapter 4 Fraud and Deception Sixth, the power is lost
The candle flame flickered, and the four monarchs and ministers in the dormitory sat quietly opposite each other.
This was the fourth day after the peace was negotiated by the generals of Xiliang, and Emperor Liu Xie was able to return to the palace.
While Li Wei and Xi Yan were thinking about how to deal with the other Xiliang generals, Liu Xie and his courtiers were also planning an operation.
"Your Majesty, Jia Xu has already arranged everything, and he will act according to the plan tomorrow." The person who spoke was Zhong Xuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and the character was Chang.
Taiwei Yang Biao was slightly embarrassed, "The minister is only afraid that the person is not loyal and will fall short." ”
Liu Xie smiled at him and said, "It's okay. Jia Xu's loyalty has never doubted, since he dares to use this person, he will definitely be confident. ”
Shang Shulang Han Bin also said with certainty: "Yes, Lord Taiwei, we might as well believe Jia Xu's strategy." Besides, at this point we have no one to rely on. ”
After listening to him say this, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Emperor Gaozu has established the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years. Unexpectedly, I disdain my descendants to fall into such a field, alas. ”
"Your Majesty will be patient for the time being, and when we escape from Chang'an and return to the old capital, we will inevitably revive the majesty of the Han Dynasty." Zhong Miao barely comforted the emperor with a few words.
"I hope everything will be as we wish......" Liu Xie said with a sigh.
The three courtiers were filled with sorrow in their hearts.
Yes, after more than 400 years, the majesty of the ancestors seems to have disappeared......
……
In a deserted mansion outside Chang'an City, the two of them were also discussing the matter......
The moonlight shone through the broken windows, and that was the only light in the room.
Jia Xu put his hands behind his back, and like the person opposite, he was hidden in the shadow of the wall.
"Sir will choose the place." The man on the other side quipped.
Although it is to hide people's eyes, this dusty old house is indeed too shabby.
"Stop laughing. Tomorrow you will save Your Majesty from the city, are you sure? Jia Xu didn't have the heart to joke with him.
"As long as the three of them don't break their promises, I'm nine points sure." The man was very relaxed, and he didn't look like he was going to fight tomorrow.
"Oh? So what about one more point? ”
"Hehe, I have heard that the principle of Mr. doing things is that 'the same purpose is enough', since Mr. and I both want to save His Majesty from leaving at this time, why should Mr. ask again?"
"To tell you the truth, Jia doesn't trust you." Jia Xu said bluntly.
"Oh, thank you, sir, for telling me frankly. Then there is no need to hide it, and in the last point, like Mr., I don't trust you. ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
They all understand that both sides have always had such a knot in their hearts, and if they don't untie it, then tomorrow's cooperation will not be able to fully cooperate. In that case, it is better to make it clear.
"But I want to ask, why doesn't Mr. believe in it?" The man restrained his smile and said with a straight face.
"After all, you have been following Li Dao for a long time, and now you have suddenly switched, it is inevitable that it is not suspicious."
"Li Dao is brutal by nature and will eventually be destroyed, so why should I accompany him to be buried. Moreover, the kidnapping of His Majesty alone is enough for the heroes to condemn him. ”
"Wise to protect yourself. Then Jia also wants to ask, why don't you trust me? ”
"Because I can't be sure if Mr. Li is from below."
"Huh." Jia Xu smiled lightly and did not answer.
"Now it seems that Mr. is definitely not Li Dao's minion."
"Why?"
"The intuition of the warriors." The man replied from his feet.
He arched his hand at Jia Xu and turned to leave.
Jia Xu also returned the salute and said to the man: "Then tomorrow will be tired, General Yang Feng." ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Jia Xu had washed and tidied up, Han Yuan came to visit.
After setting up tea and sitting down in the living room, Han Yuan told Jia Xu about today's arrangements again.
"All parts of the city are ready, but how should the demon girl Xi Yan's subordinates deal with it?" Jia Xu's brows furrowed slightly.
Jia Xu had also heard about how powerful Xi Yan's drug was, so he was naturally worried.
"Sir, don't worry, I have a countermeasure to this matter."
"Then leave her men to you. I will then leave and go to the palace to inform Your Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty's safety depends on Mr." Han Yuan arched his hand.
After settling on the various matters, the two went their separate ways.
Han Yuan ordered his four subordinates to inform all his subordinates in the city to be ready at all times.
And Jia Xu went into the palace to see Liu Xie.
……
At nightfall.
At this time, Li Wei was discussing with Xi Yan in the mansion how to subdue the other generals, or take them for his own use, or cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Suddenly, a guard reported that there had been a mutiny in the city.
Xi Yan looked at Li Dao, sighed and said, "In the end, let them take the lead." ”
Li Dao's face was expressionless, and he ordered: "Send someone to inform all battalions, go to the city to quell the chaos quickly, and let Zhou Han and Luo Xie come to me." ”
The guard said yes and ran out.
Xi Yan turned around and looked at the Xiao sisters who had been standing behind her, and said, "You two take some subordinates to the palace and watch the emperor!" ”
The two sisters nodded and walked away quickly.
At this time, there was no one else in the room, only Li Dao and Xi Yan remained.
Li Dao changed his previous indifference, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "I have wronged you again." ”
Xi Yan is also gentle. She walked up to her and helped Li Wei straighten his clothes with her hands.
"As long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter if I suffer."
Li Wei didn't say anything more, he just slowly took Xi Yan's hand and walked outside.
At this time, there was already a great chaos in Chang'an City, and the night sky was illuminated by the fires burning everywhere in the city.
There were people crying and fleeing everywhere, and the shadow of the last Chang'an fire was still buried deep in the hearts of every people.
A team of people came from afar from the direction of the outer city, and it was Zhou Han. He saw that Li Dao and Xi Yan were in front of the gate of the General's Mansion, so he hurriedly came to them and knelt on one knee, "General Yu, Mrs. Yu, all the gates of Chang'an City are opened, Zhang Ji led the army to attack from the west gate, Fan Chou occupied the south gate, and the east gate was also guarded by Guo Yan, and the general's general Yang Feng actually rebelled and led the forbidden army to kill from the palace." Luo Xie and General Li Li are leading the Flying Bear Army to defend against enemy forces on all sides, but they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it. ”
Embattled.
Li Dao and Xi Yan both understood that they could not escape at this time.
Although they had imagined that these people would be in trouble, they did not expect them to be so of one mind.
Li Wei tried his best to keep calm and said to Zhou Han: "You go and tell Li Li and Luo Xie to rush west with the Flying Bear Army with all their might, as long as we can rush out of Chang'an and return to Xiliang, we can still make a comeback!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Han agreed, and then ran in all directions with a few of his subordinates.
"Are you going to make the last bet?" Xi Yan was unusually calm.
"Yes, I have to trust him now."
……
In the main hall of the palace, Liu Xie, Jia Xu, Han Yuan and others were about to leave the palace and set off, when suddenly two teams of maids slowly walked in from outside the palace gate.
"Presumptuous! Who let you in! Han Yuan's subordinate Miao Long walked up angrily.
"Be careful!" Ma Huan, another sub-commander, noticed that something was wrong and shouted to remind.
Miao Long was a little distracted, and then he felt a fresh fragrance in his nose, and then his body lost his strength, and his burly body fell forward.
The two maids in the lead turned around at the same time, and the jade fingers gently swept over Miao Long's ears at the same moment.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then, four blood marks appeared under Miao Long's left and right ears at the same time, and in a very short time, blood shot out like a spring. Miao Long just carried two clouds of blood mist on the ground, and the faces of the two maids were also splashed with blood beads, but they seemed to be deliberately embellished, which was extremely charming.
"It's Xi Yan's people, everyone be careful." Ma Huan reminded loudly, and then, with the other two sub-commanders Hu Fang, Yu He, and dozens of night forwards, stood in front of the monarchs and ministers. At this time, everyone noticed that the two maids were wearing sharp false fingers on their hands.
"Xi Yan is really powerful, in this situation, she still has the energy to send people to the palace." Han Yuan looked at Miao Long's corpse and said angrily.
"Xiao Mei and Xiao Rao, the subordinates of Xi Yan, the night marshal of the former Northern General Hall, came to serve His Majesty on the orders of General Li and his wife." The Xiao sisters completely ignored the blood droplets on their faces, and bowed to everyone.
"Oh, attaching the drug to the clothing, you can still use it so exquisitely, admire."
The Xiao sisters couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, just now they just shook their bodies slightly to disperse the drug, but they didn't want to be noticed by Han Yuan.
"Come to think of it, you demon girls must have taken the antidote in advance." Han Yuan said this, but he just wanted to test it. Because of the drugs that Miao Long's strong body couldn't fight, Han Yuan didn't believe that these women could resist.
"Yuan Shuai Mingjian." The Xiao sisters also had no intention of hiding it.
Han Yuan didn't speak anymore, he just nodded at his remaining three divisions.
The three leaders understood that their night marshal had already figured out everything they wanted to find out - first, the Xiao sisters attached to their clothes in a poisonous way; Second, there is an antidote to the drug, and if you take it in advance, you will not be affected by the drug.
This is exactly what Han Yuan didn't say - leave a living mouth and ask about the antidote.
The three of them exchanged glances, then gestured to Yefeng behind them.
Everyone took out a cloth from their bosoms and slowly tied it to their faces, covering their mouths and noses.
The Xiao sisters sneered, this method could not block the effect of the drug at all.
They waved to the maids behind them, and they rushed together.
If it weren't for the fact that they were assassins, outsiders would have thought they were dancing, because the maids were all laughing as their graceful bodies flexed and stretched.
The two sides hit one place in an instant, but Ma Huan and the others did not fall for the move as they expected. Their bodies did not become sluggish in the slightest, and they quickly cornered the palace maids.
"How so!" Xiao Mei's eyes widened in surprise, and the other maids were also flustered.
No one answered them, only stabbing swords and slashing knives.
When the activity space is small enough to be crowded, their dodging skills are impossible. The three commanders did not have the slightest intention of pity for the jade, and as their men's attacks became more and more fierce, the maids were constantly cut down.
Finally, surrounded by Han Yuan and his subordinates, only the Xiao sisters remained.
Surrounded by dozens of people, they had nowhere to hide. Ma Huan pierced Xiao Rao's heart with a sword, and Hu Fang and Yu He also stabbed Xiao Mei's arms at the same time.
Ma Huan drew his sword, and Xiao Rao fell softly.
"It's strange why drugs don't work for us?"
Without waiting for Xiao Mei to answer, Ma Huan untied his cloth and slowly shook it away.
The bupa was stacked in two layers, and when it was completely shaken open, there was a layer of black, wet stuff stuck to it.
"Actually, it's just broken charcoal, and although it's a bit painful to breathe through it, it's better than losing your life. Well, it's time to tell us about the antidote. Ma Huan shook his hand, threw Bupa aside, and pressed his sword against Xiao Mei's throat.
"If you have this thing, why bother looking for an antidote. It seems that this substance is not completely resistant to toxicity. Hehehehe...... Belch! ”
No one expected that Xiao Mei would use all her strength to hit her fair-skinned neck against the blade of the sword.
Everyone was stunned, and then a little annoyed.
She was right, although she was carrying this cloth, but it was only such a short time of close contact, and everyone still felt that their legs were weak.
This trick can only be resisted temporarily, but if Xi Yan makes that battle against Ma Teng, under the dispersion of the drug, I am afraid that this little cloth will not last long.
Han Yuan beckoned everyone back to his side, turned around and arched his hand at Liu Xie, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to leave." ”
