The actions of the boat gang are seen in the hearts of people with hearts, naturally it is 10,000 uncomfortable, and the rice merchants in Luoyang City are very angry, how can they be that on the one hand, there are many boat gangs, and on the other hand, Wang Shoucheng, who eats people and does not spit out bones, even if there is hatred, they can only hold it in their hearts, and dare not say it, but some people are different, these people have extremely strong financial resources, extremely wide connections, and their desire is no longer just as simple as buying and selling to make a small amount of money.

They see that the situation is about to change, and they are eager to take advantage of this opportunity. So someone quietly entered Beijing and became the guest of honor in the Guangwang Mansion, Li Chen wanted to use their strength, but he couldn't give them a credible promise, so he could only arrange for them to go around to meet the person who could give them a promise.

After Wang Shoucheng learned the news, he hurriedly returned to the Zuo Shence camp, gathered his cronies in the army, and cried: "Someone wants to put me to death, I'm afraid I can't pass this level, you have followed me for many years, I wanted to share the glory, but I didn't want to be affected by me in the end." ”

The general Wei Baozhen's eyes were split, and he scolded angrily: "Who stabbed him in the back, Lao Tzu went to kill him!" Wang Shoucheng continued to cry him: "I have been loyal to the Li family all my life, how can I ever have a little outside heart? Your Majesty is young, the situation is chaotic, I am just more diligent than outsiders, and if I take care of more things, I will be resented by everyone, and I will eat my flesh and drink my blood......"

Wei Baozhen is a martial artist who can't understand what he says, and he hates Wang Shoucheng for being unhappy when he is dying, he is still talking about it here, he is angry like a cow, and he is just scratching his ears and cheeks. wanted to ask for an understanding, but saw Wang Shoucheng crying and crying, unable to lift his spirits, and dropped his cup and went out of the door for a while, and everyone avoided him. Back at the camp, the staff officer of the army saw that he had come back early, so he asked why, Wei Baozhen said: "The lieutenant invited us to a banquet, I wanted to have a good drink, but I didn't want to cry halfway, so I came back impatiently." Because he asked why he cried, Wei Baozhen learned what Wang Shoucheng said, and said: "It is rumored that the lieutenant and the king of light are not in harmony, and the black hand behind this must be Li Chen, the king of light, and the lieutenant is a loyal minister, and he refuses to betray the lord when he dies, so he can only be killed, so he is distressed." Wei Baozhen respected this staff officer with a keen sense of things, and thought that he had a family drag, so he sent a few perfunctory words.

At one time, he ordered someone to set up a banquet, found more than a dozen sworn brothers, and greeted everyone to drink, Wei Baozhen suddenly sighed, everyone was shocked and asked why, Wei Baozhen asked everyone: "How is our friendship on weekdays?" The crowd said, "It's better not to be a brother than a brother." Wei Baozhen sighed sullenly, slapped the case, and said: "I think my parents died since I was a child, I didn't even have a pair of shoes in the cold winter, walking barefoot on the street, going to begging for food, I didn't get the food, but I was bitten by a vicious dog, and fell in the snow nest on the street, no one asked a word, I was going to die, it was the lieutenant who took me in, rare me, promoted me to be a captain, and promoted to a general, this grace is not a father is better than a parent, and now there are relatives and nobles in the court to calculate him, he is an old man who is loyal, he can't fight back, he can't scold back, I was going to be forced to die. I couldn't swallow this breath, and I was determined to kill this guy and repay the kindness of nurturing. This person is the prince of the dynasty, killing him is equivalent to rebellion, all brothers are people with families and mouths, I can't bear to be involved, drink this bowl of wine, let's say goodbye, this life is over, and the next life will continue. ”

When everyone heard this, they cried and cried, and bowed together: "We are waiting for the righteous marriage Jinlan, and life cannot be at the same time, but I hope that death can be the same **." ”

They all drew their knives, cut their blood and swore an oath, Wei Baozhen wanted to wait for further persuasion, everyone turned the short dagger, aimed at their hearts, and said: "If my brother sees me again, I will kill myself when I wait for this, and the province will laugh at the world." ”

Wei Baozhen laughed, poured good wine, held the wine and said: "A good son establishes the world with faith and righteousness, even if he is a ghost and not a disloyal and unrighteous white-eyed wolf." After drying this bowl of wine, go with me to Huangquan. ”

In the afternoon of this day, a group of Hanlin found a plum tree with two-color flowers blooming in front of the Zhonghe Palace, and everyone said that it was a good omen from heaven. Emperor Li Han was overjoyed when he heard the news that the southern taxes could not enter Beijing, and he issued an edict to set up a banquet in the palace and invite the ministers to drink and feast, so as to touch this joy.

Li Chen, the king of light, received the edict and packed up and left the sixteen houses in the morning.

There is a sandwich between the sixteenth house and the Daming Palace, and the so-called sandwich road is a narrow passage in the two city walls, because there are high walls on both sides to protect it, which is both hidden and safe. The emperor went out on patrol, laid out the guard of honor, and the earth shook the sky, which was not only unsafe, but also easy to disturb the people. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty built a special sandwich road between the three major ones, which not only facilitated travel, ensured their own protection, but also reduced the road closure and disturbed the people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The meazzanine road has always been guarded by the forbidden army, there is no special token of the forbidden palace or the eunuch of the inner palace to lead the prince is not allowed to enter, this day because it is the emperor's banquet, specially photographed the eunuch to lead the eunuch, Li Chen was able to enter the palace from the meazzanine. Because of the strict guards, all his bodyguards were stopped at the door, and his own swords were also dropped by the forbidden army.

Walking out of the place about one shot to the east, three guards of the forbidden army blocked the way, asked to check the token, and led the eunuch to glare at everyone: This is not in harmony with the rules, the inspection token should be at the entrance or exit, how can you go halfway in broad daylight to check what token. However, the three generals are from Zuo Shence and Wang Shoucheng, and the current situation is unstable, so it must have another deep meaning.

led the eunuch to grind and chirp and take out the token and offer it, and then used soft words to set it up. Li Chen was bored, and suddenly found that the three forbidden soldiers were all carrying horned bows and arrows, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

The Tang Dynasty is strong, and the bows and arrows in the army are very ordinary, basically one bow per person, but the types of bows and arrows used are different depending on the type of military.

The border armies and the local feudal armies were issued with simple and practical compound horn bows, the cavalry were issued with mounted archery bows suitable for horse combat, and the forbidden troops guarding the palace were issued with elaborate carved bows. The carved bow is not only beautiful in appearance, but also sophisticated and practical, with high precision and natural cost. Although the Shence Army is a forbidden army, due to the large number of personnel, it is impossible for all of them to be equipped with well-equipped carved bows, and only when performing the task of guarding the palace will they be issued carved bows, and they will be returned immediately after the task is completed.

There are strict regulations on distribution and return, there is a special person in charge, the palace is strictly controlled, and there are many rules, it is absolutely impossible for such a low-level mistake to occur, and these people are suspicious!

Thinking of this, Li Chen no longer doubted, suddenly took a step forward, drank violently, knocked a guard to the ground with his shoulder, snatched his saber with his hand, turned around and flashed behind the head of the junior colonel, strangled his neck, and held him hostage cleanly.

The eunuch who led the way was taken aback, hugged his head, ran away, and shouted at the top of his voice that there was a thief. One of the guards drew his bow and shot an arrow at him, and the arrow pierced through his heart, and then turned around and aimed at Li Chen, without hesitating the safety of his companion.

Li Chen ducked to avoid an oncoming arrow, but the guard he held took the opportunity to hit him in the chest with an elbow hammer, and a mouthful of sweet blood gushed in his throat.

Li Tang established the country with martial arts, and the children of the royal family practiced martial arts more, and the practice of martial arts increased unabated after the Anshi Rebellion. Li Chen has hired famous teachers to point out martial arts since he was a child, and he has also made small achievements, and he often has good performances in various wrestling competitions held in the palace, and has won numerous awards. He suddenly attacked, won the first opportunity, and lost back in an instant.

The three guards didn't make a big move, they pulled out their sabers, and cut their heads with a pick, Li Chen didn't care about any face, so he rolled on a lazy donkey on the spot, flickering east and west, making people elusive. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the three of them, a carp jumped up and ran away, completely ignoring any royal decency.

The three guards were stunned for a moment, looked at each other and laughed, then pulled up their bows and arrows, and were about to shoot Li Chen, when they suddenly heard someone shouting at the top of the city wall: "Wei Baozhen, are you looking for death?" ”

The bow-wielding guard was taken aback, his hand trembled, and an arrow missed, only hitting Li Chen's shoulder, Li Chen fell to the ground, and the arrows of the other two guards went empty. The leader's guard drew his bow and wanted to shoot again, but there was already a rain of arrows on the wall, and the three of them were shot into hedgehogs without saying a word.

From the time the three of them appeared to the time they were shot, it only took half a cup of tea before and after, and they came and went quickly.

Li Chen got up from the ground to settle down, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Li Han, the king of Ying, who came out to save him, so he complained: "It's too careful, so I can leave a living." ”

Li Han smiled and said: "The living mouth has long been available, and Wei Baozhen has already let us take it." ”
