Chapter 403: Victory or Defeat Is Uncertain
Overnight, people's long-term understanding of the Tuqi Shi people was suddenly overturned, and for some reason, the Tuqi Shi people showed a surprising high wind and bright festival, and offered to postpone the duel in the ring, on the grounds that they did not want to take advantage of Li Huaitang's advantage, and they had to wait for Li Huaitang's injuries to heal, and the duel would start again.
Reluctant or unwilling, the spectators were dispersed by the soldiers of the Dragon Warriors, although there was no suspense about the final victory, but the day of cashing out the prize was still to be finalized, with a curse, the gamblers hatefully expressed their greetings to the Turgish people.
The crown prince and officials on the main stage also left the venue one after another, and the host Li Yi walked towards Li Huaitang with a smile.
"Congratulations, General!" Li Yi sent the lowest cost congratulations in the world, but his sly eyes looked at the beauties dressed beside him.
Li Huaitang smiled bitterly and said, "The prince's proposal almost made me give away my 'life'!" What's the joy? ”
Li Yi smiled and said: "Hehe, the old man is saying that the Holy Lord agreed to the general's 'exchange' conditions, and agreed to list Ningyuan City as the exile of the Tang Dynasty, but the general got his wish." Gao Weng has done a lot of work for you in this matter, and it seems that your Obama is deeply liked by Gao Weng. ”
Following Li Yi's gaze, Li Huaitang saw Gaolishi in the distance, who was riding on "Obama" and nodding to himself.
"I said General, when will you give me an Obama?" Li Yi's thick skin is crowned in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Huaitang laughed and said, "Yes, when the prince and general enter the palace as an internal 'servant', I will definitely serve it!" ”
Li Yi left, brushed his sleeves away, and left a parting sentence: "Let your beauties pay attention, aren't you afraid that people will think you are Longyangjun?" ”
"What did he say? Why can't I understand? Looking at Li Yi's distant back, Li Huaitang turned to Pei Xiaoniang and asked.
Pei Xiaoniang's face was flushed, and she pointed to Liu Shangyue's costume to cover her mouth and snickered, and said, "Sister Yueyue is so handsome in this dress!" I'm afraid that the little lady Ai 'woman' in Chang'an City will be crazy about it. ”
"Ruoxi Xiaoniang is wrong, the most handsome person here is Ruoxi Xiaoniang." Liu Meiren laughed and fought back.
Li Huaitang fixed his eyes and saw that the beauties were all dressed in military uniforms and were heroic, and he understood what Li Yi was referring to.
"Li Lang, who is the shopkeeper of Furong Tower?" Liu Meiren suddenly remembered her benefactor, and her suspicious and "excited" eyes looked for Jingshan's figure in the receding "tide" crowd, but unfortunately, her wish to send late thanks could not be realized.
Li Huaitang smiled faintly, his expression was solemn, and said: "This matter is over, for his safety, Madame must not mention it again, let alone talk about it to anyone." ”
"Well, as long as Li Lang is safe and sound, the concubine will not care about other idle matters." Liu Shangyue held Li Huaitang's arm and smiled shyly.
"Oops!" Li Huaitang cried out in pain, and Liu Shangyue threw his left arm, pulling the injury on his shoulder.
"What's wrong? Let me/the concubine take a look! "Anxious concern was written on the faces of the beauties, and they actually 'wanted' to take off Li Huaitang's clothes on the spot.
Li Huaitang said: "It's not in the way, the skin and flesh are just injured, just soak in hot water to dissipate the blood stasis." ”
"Then, hurry back, let's prepare hot water for Li Lang." Pei Xiaoniang's master and servant wanted to say this, but unfortunately it was not to the extent of that relationship, so they could only be robbed of the dialogue by the shy Linglong Shuangshu in hesitation.
"Good! Home! Li Huaitang smiled evilly, looking at Linglong Shuangshu and not daring to look up.
The soldiers had already been waiting with their horses, and as soon as they jumped on their horses, they saw several soldiers riding dragons shouting loudly outside the cordon of the general's cavalry: "General, please accept our thanks." ”
The leader who asked to see was a strong man, named Lei Hu, and with permission, he walked under Li Huaitang's horse and respectfully handed over a Tang knife with both hands: "The general killed the Khitan and tore the tiger, and in my lifetime, Lei Hu can see my brother's revenge and get revenge, and I am very relieved." This knife is left by my brother, Lei Hu is incompetent, can not cut this fang, I specially forward this knife to the general to express gratitude. ”
Li Huaitang jumped off the war horse, took the war knife, and pulled the knife out of the sheath casually, the Tang knife fought a hundred battles, and there were many gaps in the blade, proving that the previous owner of the knife was once a brave and warlike veteran.
"Good! I'll take this knife! One day, he will have the opportunity to fight the Khitan, and then 'insert' this knife into the place of the Khitan people's tooth tent to comfort the heroic soul! Li Huaitang simply put the knife into the sheath.
Lei Hu felt 'excited' and arched his fist to thank him, his mouth moved, but he stopped saying "want".
"General," Lei Hu finally spoke when Li Huaitang said goodbye and turned around.
Li Huaitang turned around: "Anything else?" ”
Lei Hu said: "I heard that the general 'wants' to crusade against Shiguo and recover Broken Leaf Town for the Tang Dynasty, Lei, Lei wants to follow the general and make contributions!" ”
Li Huaitang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But do you want me to make a request to the Holy Lord and fulfill your wish?" ”
Lei Hu sneered: "That's what I think, it's just that the general must not say that I took the initiative to ask for it." ”
Li Huaitang laughed and said, "Okay! I agreed, and as for whether the Holy One agrees, it depends on luck. If the Holy Lord agrees, I will look for you in the Longwu Army barracks. ”
"General, and us!" Several soldiers behind Lei Hu rushed forward to petition.
"This?" Li Huaitang was a little suspicious, if it was reasonable to say that Lei Hu was belligerent and gave up his peaceful life as a garrison and took refuge, it was surprising that so many soldiers of the Longwu Army had such a desire.
With Lei Hu's explanation, Li Huaitang understood. The left and right Longwu army is the only cavalry unit in the capital, almost all the soldiers are from the border army's 'elite' elite, it is an honor to enter the dragon martial arts, not only the treatment is improved, but also the life is stable, it is the most desired destination for the border army soldiers. It's just that in recent years, the source of the dragon warrior has undergone great changes, for the high salary, good reputation, no war, many strong nobles and bureaucrats are not willing to son, or with nepotism people also try their best to squeeze into the dragon cavalry, the original border army soldiers naturally look down on these no combat effectiveness and no meritorious deeds, gradually, the dragon army formed two factions, the contradictions between each other are getting deeper and deeper, like Lei Hu from the border army soldiers are almost unruly, offending the powerful is inevitable, Many of the border army soldiers, including Lei Hu, were 'mixed' in the Longwu army quite dismally, and they couldn't see the future, and Li Huaitang's arrival aroused their imagination, and the legendary Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry seemed to be very attractive to them. Today, Li Huaitang killed their nightmare in public, and Lei Hu's desire to take refuge was suddenly unprecedentedly strong, coupled with the fact that Li Huaitang was approachable just now without the slightest arrogance, he made a decision in an instant.
Hearing the wishes of the Thunder Tigers unexpectedly triggered an idea for Li Huaitang, why not take the opportunity to propose to the Holy Lord to recruit more warriors in the army? In the forbidden army in the capital, there are many soldiers who are good at fighting, as long as there are enough Kaiyuan Tongbao, it is not impossible to establish a Tang mercenary army, presumably the saint will not be reluctant to give up only a few hundred.
As the audience brought the news back to the city, all those who bet on Li Huaitang's victory were overjoyed and flocked to the 'spring' and 'gate' to greet their heroes.
"Li Lang is necrotic!" On the way, Pei Xiaoniang once again made a correct evaluation of Li Huaitang. Li Huaitang did not enter the city from the 'spring' and Ming 'gates', but went around to the Yanxing 'gates' in the east and south of the city, so that the enthusiastic fans waited for a while.
Li Huaitang smiled and said nothing, and Liu Meiren explained for him: "Sister Ruoxi misunderstood, Li Lang is a wise man who eats a trench, and it is easy to hide assassins in crowded places, so it is better to be careful." ”
"Yes, yes, those Tuqi Shi people will never be so kind-hearted, they must be fighting some bad ideas, they can't beat Brother Niu in the open, maybe they will play some 'yin' scheme." Shui Rou'er suddenly realized, her innocent 'wave' words for everyone to solve the mystery in their hearts, taking advantage of the fire to rob is the nature of the Tuqi Shi people, delaying the duel is not good for them, if there is something abnormal, it will be a demon, maybe this will be the Tuqi Shi people have ambushed the killer in the crowded crowd of the 'Spring' Ming 'Gate'.
Li Huaitang's caution was not superfluous, and Gu Si did just that. He is poor in the twilight, he can't see any hope in the ring, so he can only jump over the wall in a hurry and take risks, planning to finish his work in one battle, the number one warrior of the Khitan people is dead, as long as Li Huaitang is finished, the victory will belong to him. However, his plan fell through, and the victorious Li Huaitang did not get carried away and avoided his trap.
Gu Sihou waited for news of the killer in a restaurant in East City, but he couldn't see Li Huaitang's shadow until the 'gate' of the city was closed in the dark.
"Damn! How could this bandit's luck be so good? After receiving the report of the killer who returned empty-handed, the bones sobbed and scolded angrily.
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't come unharmed?" An unfamiliar laugh sounded outside Gu Si's private room, which surprised Gu Si, who thought his whereabouts were very secretive, but unexpectedly had already been noticed.
The 'door' of the room opened, and the person who came in was a Taoist priest.
"Huh?" Gu Si found that the person who came was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "What? Doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince recognize the deceased? But I forgot about the fire-spitting fairy......"
The Taoist priest's reminder was like thunder, and Gu Si suddenly remembered that it was this person who calculated his fortune back then, saying that he would ascend to the throne of Khan in the future, and he also calculated the name of Khan for himself as a fire-spitting fairy.
"Daoist Xiu?!" Gu Si was quite surprised, and a hint of ecstasy hit him, and he felt that this man's presence must have come to clear the clouds for him, just as this man recognized his identity as a prisoner and gave him guidance.
Sure enough, Daoist Xiu was very straightforward and said, "If I were you, I would definitely arrange the sharpshooter near the target's residence." ”
Gu Si was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was too reasonable, for Daoist Xiu, he had a feeling of hating to see each other late. No matter how Li Huaitang makes a detour, he will always have to return to the station, and before approaching the station, their vigilance will inevitably be minimized, and the chance of success will be the greatest at this time. He was blinded, he couldn't see Mount Tai, and he thought that hiding in the crowd was the most secretive.
Seeing that the bone sip was still fluting, Daoist Xiu smiled and waved the dust in his hand, and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is so hospitable?" ”
Gu Si came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "Please, please, there is a distinguished guest!" ”
The Taoist priest was not polite and sat down leisurely.
"Daoist Xiu is here to help me?" As soon as he sat down, Bone Sip couldn't wait to get to the point.
Daoist Xiu nodded: "Your Highness guessed right." ”
"Why do you want to help me?" Gu Si looked at Daoist Xiu vigilantly. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and although he hates Li Huaitang to the core, he very much agrees with what his former allies have said, and the most reliable thing in the world is only common interests. However, he couldn't see that he had any common interests with this Daoist priest.
Daoist Xiu laughed, and said mysteriously: "Who let me have a relationship with His Highness?" With this fate, of course, Taoist priests, I have to dial His Highness. ”
"Dial?" Gu Si didn't move his voice, and said: "I don't know how Daoist Xiu plans to dial it, what to order?" ”
"Of course, it is to help His Highness fulfill his heart's wish, kill the enemy, and win the princess." Daoist Xiu didn't smile at the 'meat', but he said that he was in the heart of the bone.
Gu Si's mind couldn't help but move, and said, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
Xiu Daoist attached to the ear of the bone sip, and suppressed the volume of the voice to the lowest: "The trace of the target is provided by me, as for the final blow...... Hehe, whether you can achieve your wish depends on your strength. ”
Bone Si frowned, obviously weighing the gains and losses.
"Who the hell are you? What is your purpose? How can I trust you? "No one wants to be as transparent as air in front of others, who are shadows in the fog. Gu Si is no exception, in front of Daoist Xiu, he has too many questions, and he has the feeling of being a chess piece.
Daoist Xiu snorted and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that Your Highness has no better choice." My purpose, it's because my master can't get used to Li Huaitang's arrogance, as for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. Of course, in return, it would be best if His Highness was willing to give some good horses to my master. Haha, don't say much, it's too late, farewell! ”
"Wait!" Gu Si stopped the footsteps of the Taoist Xiu in annoyance, he really had no choice, the mysterious collaborator is also a collaborator after all, he is like a blind man riding a horse in Chang'an City to drive the night road, his eyes are black, if he has an extra pair of eyes, the possibility of success 'sex' must be much greater than his single-handedness, as long as Li Huaitang is killed, the identity of the other party can be ignored for the time being.
"Where can I find you?"
The Taoist priest didn't know how to do it, and his footsteps continued to the 'door', leaving a dashing voice of the dragon without the tail: "Haha, Your Highness doesn't need to look for me, the Taoist priest will naturally go to the post house to ask for advice." ”
Daoist Xiu walked out of the restaurant and waited in front of the restaurant's 'door' for more than a dozen Tsing Yi ruffians.
"Is it all arranged?" Daoist Xiu changed his grim look.
The leader replied respectfully: "Back to Daoye, the target mansion has been 'inserted' into our people, and there is news at any time." ”
"Hmmm! Be careful not to startle the snake, and tell me anything at any time. ”
"Yes, don't worry!"
Standing in front of the window of the restaurant, Gu Si saw that Daoist Xiu was 'mixed' with a group of people who looked like snakes on the ground, and Daoist Xiu seemed to be their leader, giving orders......
