Chapter 384: After-the-fact Disposal
It turned out that when Nahe Luohu saw a group of soldiers pouring out of the city gate, he was timid, and immediately said to several Turks beside him: "The Tang army is strong, let's wait and withdraw first!" As he spoke, he slowly retreated.
Without saying a word, the Turkic men followed He Luohu slowly south.
Seeing this, the rest of the Turks also slowly retreated south with Naga Luohu and others.
Song Pu and Yang Shi killed seven or eight people, and joined up with the three remaining palace guards.
And the association was blocked between the five and the newly emerging palace guards.
Li Zhi looked at He Luohu and the others who fled south, and said in a deep voice: "You all go after those people, remember, you can't let any of them go, there is General Zhang here, foolproof!" ”
But this was addressed to the thirty soldiers who poured out of the gates.
The three leading teams hesitated slightly, but did not take a step.
Li Zhi immediately raised his voice and shouted, "What are you doing, dare to disobey this king's order?" Why don't you go soon? ”
The three teams were glancing at each other, and immediately led their corporal to chase south.
After the thirty soldiers chased after them, Ashina Association looked around at the figures around him, suddenly held a horizontal knife, and said to Zhang Yunwen and Li Zhi: "Haha, Lao Tzu was unlucky today, and he actually met General Zhang!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu has already escaped from Chang'an with the head of His Royal Highness King Jin! ”
Zhang Yunwen took a deep look at Ashina Society, and glanced at Yang Shi and Song Waterfall. These two have been cooperating with Zhang Yunwen for a long time, and one party's eyes and actions can be guessed by the other party. As soon as the two of them saw Zhang Yunwen's eyes, they immediately shook the horizontal knife in their hands, and killed Ashina Association with one left and one right.
Ashina felt the sound of wind behind him, and without thinking about it, he waved the horizontal knife in his hand.
"Bell-" Yang Shi's horizontal knife was blocked.
And Song Waterfall's horizontal knife slashed towards this side with greater force.
Ashina didn't dare to parry the knife back, and hurriedly moved his body, wanting to avoid the knife.
The blade slashed over his shoulder, bringing up a robe with him.
Just as he was glad to have dodged the knife, Song Waterfall stretched out a foot and kicked it in the abdomen of the association. The sheer force caused the association to fly diagonally upwards for nearly three feet.
Before he landed, the association only saw a flash of knife light, and his neck suddenly cooled, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.
At this time, Yang Shi, who jumped in the air and made a knife, landed on the snow with his feet.
A blush appeared on Ashina's neck. Then, the red color slowly expanded, gradually staining the nearby snow red.
Looking at the shocking blood-red marks on the snow, Zhang Yunwen smiled at Li Zhi: "Hehe, Xiaozhi, it seems that I can't go to the orchid wine shop today!" ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he smiled at Zhang Yunwen mechanically. Zhang Yunwen knew that after Li Zhi was too nervous, he suddenly relaxed, and his body couldn't react. walked over at the moment and patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, "Xiaozhi, your performance today is very good!" , first blocked a few swords of the Ashina Association, and then decisively ordered the soldiers to pursue, showing the courage of the prince, and behaving really well! ”
After listening to Zhang Yunwen's praise, Li Zhi's smile gradually softened, and finally asked softly, "Really behaved well?" ”
"Hmm!"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of neat footsteps from behind him. Looking back, it was a team of palace guards with swords and bows, fully armed, rushing to support.
"The last general has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I have seen General Zhang!" The leader was a Zhonglang general, and as soon as he saw Li Zhi and Zhang Yunwen, he hurriedly saluted.
Li Zhi waved his hand: "No need! General Chen Lang, the battle here is over. Nearly forty people fled south. This king has already let three teams of people pursue first, you also divide your forces to pursue, this king will return to the palace immediately, and report this matter to his father! ”
This Chen Lang didn't say a word, waved his hand and divided three hundred troops to chase south. And he and a hundred soldiers were guarding Li Zhi and Zhang Yunwen and others, and slowly walked towards the palace.
Before he arrived at Taiji Palace, he met a waiter who came in a hurry: "Oh, His Royal Highness King Jin, Your Majesty is sending people to look for you everywhere, you came just in time!" ”
Li Zhi nodded, signaled that he already knew, and followed the chamberlain to the palace where Li Shimin was.
Zhang Yunwen followed.
Outside a large hall, the chamberlain was about to go in to make a report, when Li Shimin's voice came from inside: "Is the young slave here?" Hurry on in! ”
Li Zhi and Zhang Yunwen entered the hall, only to see two people sitting in the hall, but it was Li Shimin and Li Tai.
"Hehe, Yunwen is here too! Come, tell me what happened outside? Why did a guard come to report that someone had moved a knife outside? After speaking, Li Shimin's tone had already begun to sharpen.
"Oh, that's right, the younger brother of the king of Beiping County, Ashina Association was dissatisfied with the treatment of him by the Tang Dynasty, and led more than 50 people from his clan, trying to rob and kill the royal relatives and nobles outside the palace, and take his head to defect to the Western Turks, but he happened to be bumped into by Weichen and the King of Jin. After a bloody battle, nearly ten of the Ashina Association and the rest of the henchmen fled, and they are now in pursuit! Zhang Yunwen said the outline of the matter lightly.
Listening to Zhang Yunwen's words, Li Shimin's brows gradually furrowed, and he suddenly threw the armrests on the chair: "How can this be reasonable!" This Ashina Association framed Tuli back then, and I saw it on Tuli's side and spared his life, but today he has done such a thing, which is really an unforgivable sin! ”
As he spoke, his eyes turned to Li Zhi and asked with concern, "What, childish, are you injured?" Were you frightened by anything? ”
Li Zhi suddenly showed a flattered look: "No, no!" Father, the son is very good, nothing is wrong! ”
At this time, Zhang Yunwen smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, His Royal Highness King Jin is performing very well today." First, he used his sword to resist the enemy, blocked the Ashina Association four or five times, dragged the soldiers to the head of the city, and surrounded the Ashina Association. Then, he took out the momentum of the prince and let the supporting soldiers chase the fugitives! ”
Li Shimin turned his head, first glanced at Zhang Yunwen, and then looked at Li Zhi with surprise.
In Li Shimin's scorching gaze, Li Zhi's face quickly turned red. Hung his head, not daring to raise his head.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile dumbly.
At this time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, suddenly said: "General Zhang, it seems that there is no court meeting today, and the things on the Yamen side are almost the same, you should have no reason to come to the imperial city, how did you come to the imperial city, and you happened to encounter this matter?" ”
Before Zhang Yunwen could answer, a sharp voice came from outside the palace: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see Your Majesty!" ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!" ”
Li Chengqian entered the hall and saw Li Tai here, his eyes couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, and then he saluted Li Shimin as if nothing happened, and then greeted Li Tai, Li Zhi and Zhang Yunwen.
"Hehe, General Zhang hasn't answered my words yet!" Li Tai urged.
Zhang Yunwen smiled slightly: "Today, Weichen made an appointment with the King of Jin to go to the Orchid Wine Shop to see the Hu Xuan Dance and drink the dragon ointment wine, so Weichen came outside the imperial city and waited for the King of Jin!" Uh, does His Royal Highness King Wei still have questions? ”
Li Tai shook his head, but showed Li Zhi a sad look: "Ninth brother, you are still young, you should still focus on your studies, how can you indulge in singing, dancing and wine?" ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but bow slightly.
Li Tai turned the spearhead again: "And General Zhang, how can you take the ninth brother to that kind of place, it's not good to delay your studies!" ”
Zhang Yunwen saw Li Tai's smug expression, his heart was secretly unhappy, and he smiled at the moment: "Hehe, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Wei often leading a bunch of scribes there, why would the King of Jin find Weichen to go with him!" ”
The smile on Li Tai's face suddenly froze.
Then Li Chengqian seized this opportunity and smiled at Li Tai: "Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to love watching this Hu Xuan Dance." If you have time, you can go with the ninth brother, so as not to trouble General Zhang! ”
Li Shimin saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, listened to the words in his heart, his face was as light as water, and he didn't show any expression.
"Okay, prince, King Wei and Zhinu Yunwen, don't argue, go outside the palace with me first to see what the situation is!" Li Shimin stood up, swept his eyes in the hall, and said loudly.
"The retainers obey!" The three princes hugged their fists.
"Wechen obeys!" Zhang Yunwen hugged his fists.
