The 14th (9th day of the first lunar month)

Li Ke brought the two of them to Wei Ling, because he had his intentions, firstly, this matter was dangerous, so that Huan Yanfan and Wei Ling could take care of each other, but more importantly, although Li Ke felt that he trusted Wei Ling, after all, he still didn't know enough about him, so he could use Huan Yanfan to test him. When the three of them arrived, Wei Ling was staring intently at Princess Taiping's mansion, Huan Yanfan saw Wei Ling, he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked with an angry face: "Wei Ling, you left the military camp without permission, and you were hiding here?" ”

Wei Ling looked back and saw that it was Huan Yanfan, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and immediately got up and saluted, and replied: "Back to General Heng, his subordinates are also helpless, and the reason for this can be reported in detail afterwards." ”

Huan Yanfan turned his head to look at Princess Taiping's mansion, and then looked at Wei Ling, and deduced in his heart that Wei Ling must have left the barracks without permission in order to rescue the families of the officers. ”

Wei Ling immediately replied: "Wow! ”

The conversation between the two, Li Ke heard clearly on the side, it seemed that what Wei Ling had said to him was not false, and for a while, Li Ke's trust in him increased a little, so he asked: "General Wei, have your family been transferred?" ”

Wei Ling replied: "Since you left, I have not dared to leave for a moment, and no one has entered or left the Taiping Princess Mansion. ”

After hearing this, Li Ke had a bottom in his heart, and looked at Princess Taiping's mansion again, the mansion seemed to be calm, and he thought that he really couldn't find the assassin, so he had given up, so he said: "Li Sicheng, let's enter the mansion as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and cause trouble again." ”

Wei Ling was shocked when he heard Li Ke's words, and hurriedly asked, "Just the two of you entering the mansion?" Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ”

Li Sanlang listened and said: "Please rest assured that the two generals have their own plans, and if there is really an accident, I hope that the two generals will rescue in time." With that, Bian glanced at Li Ke, and the two walked towards Princess Taiping's mansion, and Huan and Wei continued to hide back in the dark to observe.

Li Sanlang and the two came to the gate of Princess Taiping's mansion, but were blocked by the guards, Li Sanlang took out his waist card and said: "I am Long'an Sicheng, Li Sanlang, I want to see Aunt Taiping, and I am tired of informing." ”

The guard looked at the waist card, handed it back to Li Sanlang, and said: "Princess Taiping has an order, no one is seen today, I hope to be considerate!" ”

Taiping gave such an order, since Li Sanlang expected, the assassin had just appeared in the mansion, and the secret of the mutiny was leaked, and at this moment he must be in a hurry to discuss how to deal with the aftermath, and how could he have time to receive visitors, but Li Sanlang had already prepared his words and continued to answer: "Please take the trouble to tell Aunt Taiping, Li Sanlang has caught the assassin for the princess's mansion, and now he is waiting outside the door, ready to hand over to Aunt Taiping for disposal." With that, he pointed at Li Ke.

The guard looked at Li Ke carefully, and finally recognized it, wasn't this the guard who came out of the mansion just now? It turned out that the assassin was him, and he went out of the mansion in disguise, no wonder he couldn't be searched in the mansion; But when the guards looked at it again, they couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, since it was the assassin who was caught, they didn't even tie it up, so they stood outside the door as if nothing happened, and for a while the guards didn't dare to make their own decisions, and hurriedly said: "Li Sicheng, please wait, I'll go inside to report." With that, he turned around and opened the door and entered the house.

After a while, the guard came back and said, "Princess Taiping has an order, please invite Li Sicheng to enter the mansion." With that, he turned around and opened the door to lead the way, Li Sanlang exchanged a look with Li Ke, and followed. After a while, the two came to the room where Princess Taiping and Gao Jian were negotiating just now, there were no guards here, but at this moment they were heavily guarded, and there were nearly two hundred guards in front of and behind the house, all holding bows and crossbows and swords, waiting for the formation, even if they were winged, it was difficult to fly out.

The guards pushed open the door, Li Sanlang and Li Ke entered the house, although there were two hundred soldiers outside the house, but there were only two people in this room, and on the main seat was the princess Taiping, with luxurious clothes and exquisite accessories, looking pleasant, as if nothing had happened; It was Gao Jian who was on the seat, with a serious expression and a pale face, thinking that the assassin incident before must have been condemned by Princess Taiping.

When Princess Taiping saw Li Sanlang entering, she said with a smile: "It turned out to be Sanlang?" How can I have time to visit my aunt today? Seeing this, Li Ke couldn't help but scoff, is the face of Princess Taiping really the same person as the hysterical woman he heard outside the window just now? This hypocrisy between the officialdom and the powerful is indeed disdainful of Li Ke.

Li Sanlang hurriedly bowed and bowed, and replied: "San Lang has seen Aunt Taiping, and my nephew is here today to ask for something important." ”

Taiping saw that Li Sanlang didn't go around the bush, and went straight to the point, so he put away his smile, his face became cold, just like the previous few times, and said: "If San Lang has anything important, please speak up." ”

Li Sanlang said: "I also hope that Aunt Taiping will release all the generals' families, dispel delusions, and return to the right path!" ”

Li Sanlang said so bluntly, coupled with the courage of the two to enter the house, she came prepared, Princess Taiping was not surprised, she did not answer immediately, but began to look up to the sky and laugh, the laughter was full of irony, and even more murderous. Finally, Princess Taiping's laughter stopped, she looked at Li Ke behind Li Sanlang, and said: "Who is Bengong Dao, it turns out to be a vigorous veteran on the bow field, no wonder he can blend into the palace and disappear, it's really not simple, right?" Captain Shenlong, Lord Li! ”

Taiping actually knew Li Ke's identity, which couldn't help but surprise Li Sanlang and Li Ke, but the two thought about it carefully, the female emperor, Wu Sansi, Wu Jiang and others already knew Li Ke's identity, Princess Taiping had many ears and eyes, and it was not surprising to know about it, although Li Ke was disguised, his true identity was an open secret, but no one had pierced it for the time being, thinking of this, the two also calmed down their emotions, and without waiting for Li Ke to speak, Li Sanlang replied: "Aunt Taiping is detaining the generals' families, and the nephew's move is also helpless, I hope my aunt will forgive me. ”

Princess Taiping sneered and said, "San Lang, this palace will ask you, have you ever seen an arrow that has been shot and turned back?" ”

Li Sanlang continued: "Aunt Taiping, you and I are close relatives, what my aunt did today, my nephew believes that he must have been bewitched by a traitor, Saburo believes that it is definitely not my aunt's intention, and even my aunt does not know the inside story, and I hope that my aunt will stop it in time and stop it from the precipice, so as not to happen to the point of no return!" Li Sanlang glanced at Gao Jian on the side as he spoke, and expected that the traitor in Li Sanlang's mouth must be Gao Jian; But acting in officialdom, it doesn't matter whether it is Gao Jian or not, just say that it is, Li Sanlang's words are obviously suggestive, and it is to inform Princess Taiping that today's matter only needs to be blamed on Gao Jian, so that he can be used as a scapegoat to avoid further incidents.

The three of them understood Li Sanlang's words, Gao Jian's face became even more pale, he didn't expect Li Sanlang to come here, and he didn't leave a way for himself to live at all, but at this moment Gao Jian didn't dare to say more; Li Ke naturally knew that Li Sanlang's plan was to take care of the overall situation and give up one person to protect the others, but this was indeed suspected of finding someone to make a scapego, and it was against the morality of the rivers and lakes, and Li Ke did not agree with it in his heart.

Li Sanlang's words made Princess Taiping silent for a moment, and she continued: "San Lang, do you think that just your words can make this palace change its mind? Are you underestimating Hongu too much? ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang suddenly smiled, but this smile was very weird, which made people shudder, and he said coldly: "Auntie, although San Lang is still young, he has known a truth since he was a child, if you are not sure of the battle on the battlefield, it is best not to fight, lest the casualties be too heavy, and in the end you will never recover!" Saburo dared to come today, and he was fully prepared. Auntie, if this battle has to continue, you will be the one who loses! ”

Li Sanlang's words made Taiping feel uneasy, especially his weird smile, which made Taiping's confidence suddenly disappear, and even a little stage fright, Li Sanlang in front of her could actually give her such a feeling, which she didn't expect, Taiping slowed down, and finally said: "This palace wants to hear how this palace loses?" ”

Li Sanlang arched his hand and said, "Auntie's army is only 300 people, right?" Now there are about 3,000 elite soldiers of the Yulin Army outside Princess Taiping's mansion, and the leaders are Huan Yanfan and Jinghui, and their families seem to be in the mansion now, I think that as long as my nephew gives an order, he and the two of them should lead the crowd to fight to regain their wives and children, right? ”

Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but widen her eyes, and shouted: "Li Sanlang, you are so bold, you dare not have a tiger talisman, and privately transfer thousands of Yulin troops, you are going to rebel!" Taiping has completely let go of her disguise, which shows that her psychological defense line is gradually crumbling.

Li Sanlang knew that his words had an effect, and continued to say calmly: "Aunt don't blame your nephew, these three thousand Yulin soldiers are all dressed in civilian clothes, and my nephew believes that the two generals will be able to give the three thousand soldiers a false note within two hours, and the nephew did not transfer privately, but the soldiers on vacation happened to be here, and when I heard that the families of the two generals were captured, I was angry and came to help, but I don't know how it would be the Taiping Princess's Mansion." ”

Taiping had already begun to get a little angry, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Li Sanlang and said, "You... You, you don't believe it, this palace has an order at this moment, let the two hundred soldiers outside the house kill the two of you? At that time, the palace said in front of His Majesty that you brought this fugitive into the palace to assassinate him, and the palace wanted to see who His Majesty believed? I want to see if your 3,000 soldiers are fast, or the 200 soldiers outside the main palace are fast! ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and continued: "Aunt Taiping, who is the fastest when it comes to it!" It looks like you've miscalculated again! ”
