Chapter 151: Second Sight of Yang Shili (Second Change)
Early the next morning, the merchants, who had survived the bloody battle of the previous night, left the house early and went in panic to the south or north.
The soldiers who died in the war were cremated, and the ashes were packed in clay pots, and Li Ye naturally would not let them be buried in this wilderness. Of the 36 seriously injured, 23 failed to hold out and died before dawn. Although Li Ye and his entourage carried a lot of trauma medicine, wound infections were not currently thought to be avoidable, and the injuries were serious.
Li Ye didn't know how many times he felt a sense of powerlessness, but it was the first time he felt it so closely. was still protecting his subordinates before, but the next moment he watched those people die in front of him, and he was powerless.
"Your Highness, someone has come to Lutou Pass!"
Just when Li Ye got on the horse, Long Zhi quickly came to him and reported.
"Someone from Deer Head Pass? They came just in time! The corners of Li Ye's mouth curled slightly, and he said lightly.
Last night's light rain has stopped, and this is the case in Shudi, although it is not a drizzle, but the rain is not strong, and it is not long. However, there is some water on the official road, and the dry ground is already covered with muddy water.
With a serious expression, the soldiers of the Tiance Army were divided into several neat lines on the official road, looking ahead with a wary expression. And under their gaze, there was a rush of horses' hooves and footsteps on the muddy official road.
"Stop coming, or you will be killed!"
Ryuji was in front of the formation, shouting loudly, and behind him, all the soldiers of the Tiance Army took off the longbow at their waists, and with an arrow in their right hand, they were already slowly pulling the bowstring.
In front of them was an army of cavalry and infantry, numbering a thousand men, and when they saw the Tiance army waiting for them, the cavalry also reined in the reins of their horses, and the whole team also stopped.
"The last general Yang Tang was guarded by the deer head, and His Royal Highness King Wenshou was assassinated, and he came to the rescue!"
"Help?" Li Ye came to the front of the battle under the escort of Link and other personal soldiers, and looked at the Lutou Pass guard in front of him who had a relationship with each other yesterday, "Are you here to rescue the driver, or are you here to save them?" β
Saying that, Li Ye pointed to the few people who were nailed to the tree next to him, and Yang Tang's face changed instantly after seeing it.
"General, it's a few sons of the festival marshal, I didn't expect them to die here." The scribe next to him couldn't help but say anxiously.
"What's the matter, aren't there thousands of them? They are all brave men, and King Shou only has 400 people, how can this be? Seeing the miserable Chen Liang and the others, Yang Tang's heart fell to the bottom, and a chill rose from behind.
He also saw the explosion and the light of the fire from the Didian last night, but he did not lead the army to check it. He knew that it was the sons of the Chen family who wanted to assassinate King Shou, so he pretended not to see it. But after a night, he didn't see the sons of the Chen family come back, and he was a little uneasy, so he led the army as soon as it was dawn, but he didn't expect this result.
Thinking of the sons of the Chen family dying here, Yang Tang felt a chill in his heart, if Chen Jingxuan knew, he would definitely not let him go. But he didn't understand why the operation failed, the good hands of nearly a thousand people actually didn't get rid of Shouwang and his party, which were only a few hundred people, and it seemed that there were not many casualties in Shouwang and his party. Could it be that the armies under King Shou are so strong?
"General, how should we deal with the aftermath now. Several sons of the Jieshuai family died here, and the general could not escape the blame. β
"What do you mean?" Yang Tang asked with some uncertainty.
The scribe glanced at Li Ye and the soldiers around him, and his face turned fierce, "General, for today's plan, only by taking the initiative to attack, get rid of King Shou, and avenge several sons, can he be guilty and make meritorious contributions." β
"What?" Yang Tang looked at the subordinates next to him incredulously.
Attacking King Shou, what a crime, even if he knew that Chen Liang and others were going to assassinate King Shou, he didn't participate. Now if he does it himself, it will be different, if the incident happens later, he will definitely not escape death.

"General, as long as you kill King Shou and hide the news, who knows who did it? If you don't explain to the marshal, just a few sons of the marshal's mansion die here, and the general will inevitably die. β
"This... The left and right are dead, so Yang Tang hesitated a little.
Just when Yang Tang hesitated, a group of cavalry in the direction of Mianzhou in the distance was hurrying up. When this cavalry came closer, Yang Tang recognized the identity of the other party, it was the troops under the command of the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, and the leader was Zheng Junxiong, the general of the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy Yang Shili.
"Humble Zheng Junxiong, I came to greet His Royal Highness King Shou on the order of the marshal."
Seeing someone from Dongchuan, Li Ye let him go from the bottom of his heart, looked at the Lutouguan soldier in front of him, and said with a smile, "It seems that General Yang doesn't need to save him." There were too many assassins last night, and the king's people didn't have the energy to bury them, so let's leave it to General Yang! β
After saying that, Li Ye rode his horse and turned away, and the pro-soldiers and Tiance Army did not relax their vigilance because of this, and they did not breathe a sigh of relief until they walked away. Although they have secret weapons, if they really want to fight, they will still suffer, you must know that there are still many troops in Lutou Pass.
After watching Li Ye and his entourage leave, and then looking at Chen Liang and others who were nailed to the tree, Yang Tang's expression was complicated.
"General, is that all?" The scribe next to him was a little anxious.
"So what do you say?" Yang Tang said angrily, and then ordered a few words to the subordinates next to him, first put these corpses away before speaking.
As for how to explain to Chen Jingxuan, I can only go back and talk about it, this matter is troublesome. Now he is not a human on both sides, and he is dead no matter what he does.
However, a confidant pointed him to a third way, that is, to take refuge in Yang Shili. The relationship between the East and the West and the Second River, as the general of the Lutou Pass, naturally knows very well, and now there is an excuse between the two sides. However, he was also a little hesitant about whether to take refuge in Yang Shili.

Mianzhou Thorn History.
For Yang Shili, when Li Ye fled to Shu with Li Yi, he met him in a hurry, but at that time, Li Yi and his entourage did not stay in Dongchuan for a long time, but rushed to Chengdu Mansion after resting. So although Li Ye and Yang Shili have met, they haven't even said a word, and the two don't know each other very well.
After all, Yang Shili was born in the military, and his appearance is naturally not handsome, but the aura of a military is quite heavy, and the long beard is particularly obvious.
"Xiaguan Dongchuan Jiedu envoy Yang Shili, I have seen His Royal Highness King Shou!"
In the Assassin's Mansion, Yang Shili led a group of subordinates, including Mianzhou Assassin Shi, to give a simple salute to Li Ye.
"Lord Yang, please get up!"
"Xia Guan didn't expect Chen Jingxuan to be so bold, and he was blatantly unfavorable to His Royal Highness, and he intended to blame Xia Guan. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is worry-free, otherwise it will be difficult for the lower officials to atone for their sins. Yang Shili said sincerely.
"Lord Yang's words are serious. Fortunately, the lord sent someone to greet him, otherwise the king might have gone to see the emperor. β
"This is not the place to speak, His Royal Highness King Shou, please!"

Chengdu Dongcheng at night, Xichuan Jiedu envoy Fuzhong.
Chen Jingxuan was enjoying the song and dance in front of him in the hall, but he had been absent-minded, and his eyes kept looking at the direction of the mansion gate in the distance.
He didn't expect his sons to take people to intercept and kill King Shou without saying a word, and when he knew, his sons had already taken people away. However, he also wanted to get rid of King Shou, a thorn in his side, so he didn't stop it, but sent people to assist his sons, just in case.
Although it is said that his unsuccessful sons brought nearly a thousand people, and according to intelligence, King Shou did not act alone with the royal family, and there were only three or four hundred cavalry around him. But now that the news has not come, he has no bottom in his heart, and his eyelids have been beating non-stop in the morning, which makes him feel even more uneasy.
Even though it was on fire, it still felt cold. Holding the maid in his arms, no matter how tempting the other party was, he didn't have much thought in his heart. In the past, he dared to correct the woman in his arms here, but now he can't raise any interest.
"Sir." Seeing that the noble man in front of her today did not move at all, the maid was a little disappointed and couldn't help but coquettishly.
"Go! Go! Go! Chen Jingxuan, who was already in a very irritable mood, suddenly drove the other party away loudly, and the maid did not let him look at the other party with resentful eyes when he left.
"What's wrong with the second brother today? Lethargy? Now that King Shou has been demoted, Xichuan is also our Chen family, shouldn't the second brother be happy? Chen Jingxun on the side said with a smile, but he was wantonly playing with the maid in his arms, and the sound of coquettishness came from time to time.
"Da Lang, they haven't come back yet, and I'm also very anxious for my brother." Chen Jingxuan said in a deep voice.
What did Chen Liang and the others do, Chen Jingxun also knew, and couldn't help laughing, "What are you worried about, Big Brother is worried about it, Da Lang and a few people with so many people, it must be fine." It's better to eat and drink well, such a beautiful dancing girl, only the eldest brother can want to have it. β
Although Chen Jingxuan also knew, the uneasiness in his heart had not been eliminated. It stands to reason that the operation was last night, and now there should be news coming, why is there no news now? Without the news, the uneasiness in his heart will always be there.
Seeing his third brother looking at the lewd eyes of the dancing girl in the middle of the hall, he shook his head, "If you want, pick a few yourself when you leave at night." Anyway, you are also a state assassin, what kind of woman doesn't have it, don't embarrass me and my fourth brother. β
"That's what the second brother said!" Chen Jingxun said with a smile, and he didn't care about the second brother's criticism.
Just as Chen Jingxuan was anxiously waiting, the door of the hall was suddenly knocked open. Chen Jingxuan, who was eating the fruit, was so frightened that the fruit got stuck in his throat before he could chew it, and he immediately coughed there. The maids around him were startled, and they hurriedly surrounded them, and it took a long time to spit out the fruit stuck in their throats.
Chen Jingxuan, who was panting, suddenly scolded, "Are you looking for death!?" Break in without knocking on the door, do you know the rulesγγγγγ β
Chen Jingxuan hadn't finished scolding yet, and when he saw the person coming in front of him, he was startled!
