Chapter 149: Didian Assassination (Fourth Watch)

"Your Highness, we have already left the Deer Head Pass. It's getting dark now, so it's not suitable for a hurry, so why don't we rest for the night at the shop in front of us and set off tomorrow?" ”

Looking at the flickering lights in the distance, and then at the Lutou Pass that had disappeared, Li Ye nodded, reined in the reins of the horse and said, "Okay, just rest in the mansion shop in front." ”

In the early days, the Didian was only used to store goods, but after the Tang Dynasty, it also operated a business where merchants lived, and also served as a goods exchange for merchants.

Due to the huge profits, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of nobles and monasteries also opened mansions, so a large number of mansions emerged. Of course, the most are still near Chang'an and Luoyang, and there are many shops around Chengdu.

Moreover, in order to make money, many Jiedu envoys also opened mansions at the main passes, and forcibly collected commercial taxes. I don't know if this mansion in front of me was opened by Chen Jingxuan, or if it was opened by the temple on the mountain next to it.

When I came to the Didian, there were many merchants who came and went to live here, but Li Ye and his party were too many, plus hundreds of war horses, and this Didian could not be completely lived. But this is not difficult to solve, Li Ye and the others just take a temporary rest here for one night, and they will not eat here, and they eat dry food that they carry with them.

This bit of vigilance, Li Ye and everyone under his command still knows, and they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

I don't know if it's luck or what's going on, there are still people playing music in the lobby of the Di store tonight.

Gently twist and slowly wipe and pick up,

At the beginning, he was six years old.

The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain,

The little strings cut like a whisper

。。。。。。 ”

This song Li Ye is no stranger, it is Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing". Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" belongs to a long Yuefu poem, and it is very easy to compose a song, and Bai Juyi has written a lot of Yuefu poems.

For these poems, Li Ye in his previous life did not memorize less, and he still remembers the pain of reciting long Yuefu poems such as "Pipa Xing" and "Long Hate Song", at that time he complained a lot about why Bai Juyi wrote such a long poem, it was simply a pit person.

It wasn't until he came to the Tang Dynasty that he discovered that these so-called long Yuefu poems could be played and sung with musical instruments. At that time, he was still thinking that if he could compose a song, it was estimated that many people would be able to memorize it.

Bai Juyi's Yuefu poems are very popular among the people, especially this "Pipa Xing". Unlike "Song of Long Hatred", which is very popular in both the upper and lower classes, "Pipa Xing" is not very popular in the upper class, because it is a song that criticizes bureaucratic corruption, the withering of people's livelihood, and the burial of talents. As a result, this Yuefu poem appears less in various banquets of the upper class, but it is very popular in the lower class.

While Li Ye was eating snacks and listening to the "Pipa Xing" played with the pipa, he also applauded with ordinary people from time to time.

Just when Li Ye and Li Yingxu were both listening carefully, Long Zhi, the captain who was responsible for protecting Li Ye's safety this time, hurriedly ran over.

"What's the matter?" Li Ye opened his eyes and asked.

"Your Highness, there is something wrong with this mansion." Ryuji clasped his hands into fists and whispered.

Hearing this, Li Ye looked around and found that a few people were a little suspicious, so he said quietly, "Don't panic, go out first." There are a lot of people here, go to the room and say! ”

Li Ye's reaction made the people who were watching realize that something was wrong, and they ran to report it as soon as Li Ye and the others came out of the lobby.

"What? Target perceived? Chen Liang asked anxiously.

"Back to the eldest prince, it should be, the target left the lobby in a hurry."

"Big brother, what should we do now? It's not time to act yet! Chen Hu was a little anxious, they originally wanted to wait for Li Ye and the others to fall asleep later, so that the chances of success would be higher.

"A bunch of waste, not enough to achieve and more to lose!" Seeing that the action was exposed in advance, Chen Liang scolded very dissatisfied.

However, scolding is scolding, the key is that you have to find a way to solve things after scolding, Chen Liang's brothers are all well-developed and simple-minded, and at this time, they subconsciously looked at the man surnamed Zhao on the side.

"Chief Zhao, what should I do now?"

The man surnamed Zhao held his chin and said for a while, then looked at everyone, "A few sons, presumably you don't want to give up this plan, this is our only chance, and after tonight, King Shou arrives in Mianzhou, we will never have a chance again."

We have thousands of people, and Shouwang only has a few hundred. Since the action was exposed in advance, then we also acted in advance, and the matter has come to this point, we can only gamble once. ”

"Okay, then act in advance, I don't believe that there are too many of us to do it." Chen Liangya gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Tell me to go down, prepare to act in advance, I want that kid from King Shou to die here." ”

。。。。。

As soon as Li Ye and the others entered the room, Long Zhi immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, there is an ambush here." ”

"Ambush? Can you confirm it? Li Ye didn't say anything, but Li Yingxu on the side was surprised.

"Confirmed. Just now, during the inspection, I noticed that there were people sneaking around the place where we were tethering our horses, and there were some suspicious people in the shop. Ryuji said in a deep voice.

"Is this aimed at us?" Link on the side couldn't help but say.

"It should be, we have hundreds of soldiers, and there are people with bad intentions, so they can only target His Highness. I just don't know who is so bold and intends to murder the prince. Li Yingxu said in a deep voice.

"Tell me to go down and get ready, and I want to see who wants to murder this king." Li Ye said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, why don't we break through as soon as possible!" Ryuji suggested.

There were more than 400 people in their group, and although they were all on horseback, it did not mean that they were all cavalry. The real cavalry was only more than a hundred people, belonging to Li Ye's royal soldiers, led by the deputy pawn Lin Ke; The battalion led by Ryuji was infantry, but they were all on horseback.

Although they are not all cavalry, it is still okay to charge on horseback.

Just when Li Ye's order had not yet been conveyed, there were soldiers outside to report.

"Your Highness, the big thing is not good, there are many people in black who appear outside the store, and they are playing with the firewood outside the store, they should want to set fire to the store."

Just after Li Ye put on his armor and brought his saber and sword, he found that there was a fire outside the mansion, and pungent black smoke began to float in the air, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

"These people are so ruthless, they actually want to burn this king here. Gather the troops and kill them for me, this king wants to see who is so bold! ”

Suddenly, the sound of breaking the air came, and rockets were shot from outside the hall, and the soldiers next to him were trained to cover Li Ye and retreat into the room, and then overturned the wooden table and cooperated with the shield to protect Li Ye's safety. From time to time, a rocket was shot into the room, nailed to the wooden table and shield, but Li Ye's expression remained unchanged.

At this time, outside the room, the larger mansion was full of firelight, talking about raging, and the merchants who were still happily listening to the song and chatting happily were fleeing in all directions, shouting for help.

However, no one cared about these people, because after the rocket, a large number of black-clothed men with weapons rushed into the mansion, killed people on sight, and had a fierce battle with Li Ye's entourage.

"Your Highness, those men in black are obviously people in the army, and they are proficient in battle formations." Through the window, seeing the black-clothed man fighting with the soldiers on his side, Long Zhi's face was a little ugly.

"How can there be so many men in black here? Aren't the defenders of Lutou Pass 。。。。。 Speaking of this, Li Yingxu realized a problem and couldn't help but look at Li Ye, "Could it be... ”

ゑ新ダ~(8)~1~Chinese 碲ωωω.Ο‡~8.~1zΡ‰.cΓ²ΠΌ

"Nine times out of ten, it is Chen Jingxuan's people, otherwise the defenders of Lutou Pass have not moved at all so far." Li Ye glanced at the direction of Lutou Pass in the south and said lightly.

"Your Highness, what now?" Li Yingxu said in a hurry.

"Send someone to Mianzhou to report to Yang Shili." After speaking, Li Ye said to Link on the side, "Take out the secret weapon that you let you carry, it was just just in case, but I didn't expect it to be really used." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Link immediately took the order, and climbed out of the window next to him with a shield.

"Secret weapon?"

Li Yingxu was a little puzzled, what secret weapon could reverse this unfavorable situation, but he looked at Li Ye, and the other party did not explain, but ordered his own soldiers to leave the room that had begun to catch fire under the cover of his own soldiers. If you stay any longer, you may really be burned here.

After a while, Li Ye and his soldiers converged, fortunately they hadn't slept at this time, otherwise his more than 400 soldiers wouldn't have been able to gather so quickly.

Although the man in black is proficient in battle formation, Li Ye's subordinates are not bad, and they are all wearing armor, while the man in black opposite has no armor.

Soon, under Li Yingxu's gaze, dozens of the more than 100 personal soldiers who were the palace took out bows and arrows, and then more than 20 personal soldiers carried more than ten wooden boxes from the restless horses. Is this the secret weapon? Li Yingxu couldn't help but guess.

But he still didn't answer him!

"All the troops are in formation!"

Under Link's orders, the soldiers of the Tiance Army, who had been fighting with the men in black, quickly retreated, with sword and shield hands in front and pikemen behind, standing or squatting there neatly in their usual battle formation.

"Kill!"

The man in black was stunned at first, but under the order of the leader, he rushed over. At this time, Li Yingxu noticed that the archers in front of him took out feather arrows from the wooden box, and they were all very careful.

At first, he didn't care about it, until he saw that the head of these feathered arrows had a small bamboo tube, and a thin thread was showing out of the outside, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Join the army, stand back, so as not to be injured by mistake!"

Hearing Li Ye's words, Li Yingxu was stunned at first, and then saw Li Ye take nearly ten steps back, and he also subconsciously retreated. When he came to Li Ye's side, he wanted to ask, but he heard Link's order.

"Light the fire, put it!"

At Link's command, the soldiers next to each archer took the tinder and carefully lit the strings on the bamboo tubes of the feathered arrowheads. Then Li Yingxu saw that one after another feathered arrows flew forward with the burning victory!

Today, there are a total of 12,000 words in four changes, asking for recommendation votes. If you boss has a lot of monthly passes or tips, I won't refuse!
