Chapter 158: A Millimeter Difference, a Thousand Miles Missing
Chapter 158 is a millimeter of difference, and a thousand miles of miss
Chapter 158 The difference is a fraction of a second, the person who misses a thousand miles shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first.
Although he has heard this sentence countless times, Li Xian still feels his scalp tingle when he really sees this scene. This is Jin Mingjia's mount was shot to death, if it were replaced by his chasing wind...... He can be sure that as long as he can go back alive, even if he turns the entire Chang'an City over, he must catch the murderer and pay for his horse's life!
After a moment of consternation, Li Xian's two guards and a group of Qin Ling's retinue immediately showed their well-trained side. Before Li Xian could react, he was coerced by two people, and retreated to the iron shop; As for Qinling, he was surrounded by a group of people, using the surrounding mounts as cover.
And when Li Xian, who was angry, was about to scold, he realized that the little girl's face was pale, but she was standing not far from him with Qu Tushenruo unharmed, and he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that the eldest sister saw the opportunity quickly. Having said that, the loud shout just now seemed to be Qu Tushenruo's voice. At this time, it was quiet outside, and it was unclear whether the assassin had run away or was preparing for the next wave of attack.
He turned his head and gasped again, only to see that at this moment, the eldest sister was holding a leather whip more than four feet long in her hand, frowning and looking outside. Lao Chen, who heard the news, figured out what was going on, and suddenly puffed out his cheeks and let out a sharp whistle, and soon, many guys rushed out from the depths of the inside, both old and young, all of them were wearing cowhide aprons, covering the whole person tightly from the neck down.
"Copy guy!"
With a simple order, the men quickly took out all kinds of weapons from the inside, and quickly guarded the entrance. Seeing this scene, Qu Tushenruo first pushed the frightened Helan Yan inside, and then went up to pull Li Xian again, and then rushed out without looking back, leaving a sentence before leaving.
"Lao Chen's here are all sergeants who have been on the battlefield in the past, so just leave it to them here. You guard Helan, and I'll go outside and get those fools in. When encountering this kind of thing, they still stay outside and hold on, these guys are so suspicious that they don't even want their lives! If something happens to them on my Datang land, people will still think that there is no one in Datang! ”
"Shen Ruo!"
When Li Xian yelled, Qu Tushenruo had already gone out like a gust of wind, so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot. When he was about to go out with him, his arm was grabbed by someone, and when he looked back, it wasn't Helan Yan?
"Don't go!"
"Helan!"
"I won't let go of anything you say!" The little girl's stubbornness all burst out in an instant, and she scolded angrily, "Sister Shen Ruo is crazy, and you are also crazy with you!" Are those people's lives worth your lives, don't forget your identity! If something happens to you, when your uncle and aunt get angry, won't it affect countless people? ”
The life or death of those guys has nothing to do with him, the problem is that Qu Tushenruo actually went out without knowing whether he was alive or dead! Li Xian stomped his foot angrily, and suddenly his shoulder was held down. At this time, he didn't know that it was the two guards sent to him by his father to play ghosts, and he could only jump there for a while, secretly praying in his heart that he would be safe.
It backfired, and although the sound of the surrounding iron shops was still deafening, he still heard a few terrible neighings, and it seemed that another horse had suffered. At this moment, he was not only worried about Qu Tu Shenruo's safety, but also worried about his horse chasing the wind, and when he was anxious, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and then, he saw Qin Ling and Jin Mingjia rushing in one after another, and the others were nowhere to be seen, and he also saw the shadow of Qu Tu Shenruo behind him as he wished.
Before he could speak, the little girl rushed up like a gust of wind, grabbed Qu Tushenruo's hand, interrogated her nervously, and immediately threw herself into her arms and sobbed. He shook off the grip of the two guards and stepped forward to say something, but found that he could not say a word.
"Ahem, those assassins were very poor, and they only shot a few horses, don't you think I'm good?" Qu Tushenruo comforted Helan Yan in his mouth, but his eyes glanced at Li Xian, the fortitude and determination just now disappeared, replaced by a charm that could not be concealed.
Although there was no movement outside the door, no one in the house dared to go out, and at this moment, a heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from behind. Li Xian turned his head and looked, almost staring his eyes out, it turned out that Kunlun Nu Aluo actually took out a huge shield, looking at the weight of that guy, to say the least, there were dozens of catties.
The men on both sides quickly made way for Arlo, and the mute Kunlun Nu rushed out with his shield in hand. At the same time, Lao Chen, who had just disappeared, suddenly took out a gong and struck it heavily with a mallet. Although the voice was harsh, everyone had no time to hide their ears, and all their attention was focused on the door.
Qu Tushenruo listened carefully for a while, and suddenly explained to Li Xian and Helan Yan with a smile: "This is the code of the iron shop, and someone from the next few shops will go to the room later!" ”
Suddenly, the sound of the gong abruptly stopped, followed by a few sharp whistles. At this time, several guys at the door all rushed out, seeing this scene, Li Xian naturally knew
He had already retreated, and while he breathed a long sigh of relief, he felt that his back was penetrating, and even his palms were wet.
What is called assassination, he now fully understands. No wonder the emperor has to send hundreds or thousands of guards when he doesn't move, nothing is important compared to his life!
It was only then that he realized that Qu Tushenruo had just said all the nonsense - Jin Mingjia's horse had died when the first arrow came down, and in addition, there were several dead horses lying on the ground, and three people were injured, two were shot in the leg and one in the shoulder, which looked shocking.
There was such a big event, Lao Chen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the official, and the other people in the iron shop also heard the news, and they couldn't help but smack their tongues when they saw this kind of situation. You must know that Chang'an City is the most heavily guarded, although weapons are not prohibited, bows and arrows are not prohibited, but all are registered and not allowed to be used without permission. It is naturally not trivial to create such a murder in broad daylight.
Lao Chen couldn't help but complain to Qu Tushenruo: "Miss, what's going on?" If the people of the government toss, this street will have to be unable to do business for more than half a month! ”
Li Xian saw that Qu Tushenruo was still groaning there, and after a moment's thought, he went up and patted Lao Chen's shoulder: "That is the Tibetan envoy, and the other is the princess of Silla. Later, when the people from the government come, you can just tell the truth, and Sister Shen Ruo and I will naturally help you. ”
Lao Chen still felt that Li Xian's actions were old-fashioned, but after hearing this, his face immediately changed. However, none of this is as good as Qu Tushenruo's next sentence: "Lao Chen, this time I caused you trouble." But don't worry, Liulang is not an ordinary person, he is His Royal Highness King Pei today, with him to help you maintain it, you will suffer a little loss now, and you will earn it back sooner or later in the future! ”
His Royal Highness King Pei!
In the eyes of people like Lao Chen, who have been on the battlefield in the past, both the Tubo people and the Silla people are all wolf cubs who can't be fed, and the death or injury is none of his business, but the meaning of the word Pei Wang is different. Hugh said that Li Xian is now famous in the market, even if he is just a prince, it is also a golden statue.
"Small People......"
Li Xian grabbed Lao Chen, who wanted to kneel, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, the sword you sold me last time was really not an ordinary product, I borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to the British duke, and he couldn't put it down." In the future, if I want to build weapons, you should pay more attention. ”
If the first sentence made Lao Chen a little embarrassed, when he heard the latter sentence, he was overjoyed. Don't look at the Sixteen Guards generals, who often come here to choose weapons, but if you want to talk about reputation, where can you compare to Li Xian, the king of Pei? At that moment, he almost immediately patted his chest, and promised with a mouth: "Your Royal Highness King Pei, rest assured, as long as you open your mouth, whether it is the eighteen weapons or those Qimen secret weapons, as long as you can fight, I will definitely fight for you!" In the future, if you fancy anything from me, you can take it and never take any money! ”
Peiwang's golden signboard really works!
Having said that, Li Xian didn't plan to take advantage of this small advantage, and he already had a plan in his heart. When he wanted to open his mouth to make a suggestion, he saw Qin Ling walking towards this side, and hurriedly turned around.
"Thank you for today, His Royal Highness King Pei and Miss Qu Tu!" Qin Ling bowed deeply as he spoke, and when he got up, he had a little apology on his face, "To be honest, I also encountered a few groups of assassins when I traveled east this time, but I never went to my heart, who knew that I would be chased to Chang'an, which is really a great sin." If Your Majesty asks, I will definitely bear it with all my might, and I will never let His Highness have any difficulties. ”
So, this assassin is from Tibet and has nothing to do with Haidong?
Before Li Xian could answer, Qin Ling confessed and went to settle his subordinates. On the other side, Jin Mingjia also walked forward with the maid and bowed deeply.
"For my sake, Your Highness has been frightened! Before I left, someone reported that Goguryeo Quangai Suwen hated our country's intention to win the Celestial Empire and plotted to assassinate me. I think that the assassination of General Liu Renyuan last time was also done by Goguryeo. Today's matter, Mingjia will definitely truthfully report to His Majesty for guilt! ”
If you already felt a little clue before, at this moment, Li Xian is completely one and two big. Both sides said that the Assassins were coming at them, so who was he to believe? Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind - don't go around, the assassin's target is himself, right?
PS: There is still one chapter left that owes you all...... It seems that there is a problem in the book review area, and I can't refine it for the time being, so I'll contact the editor tomorrow to take a look. I saw someone say that the protagonist doesn't act like a prince...... As long as the prince of the Tang Dynasty is not the prince, especially the prince who is not interested in the throne for the time being, this small life was originally lived like this, and the real Li Xian was not the prince before, and the small life was even more leisurely, cough cough. In a word, to pay attention to the complete political intrigue of the court, please refer to "Gao Taiwei's New Biography". Finally, as usual, the monthly pass was called, and it seemed that there were still four days left......
