The sun had reluctantly left the top of the hill, and the east city was still quiet, and after a night of revelry, the people were exhausted, still dreaming of the beauty of last night, only a few woodcutters carrying timber and fishermen pushing fresh fish and shrimp dangled in the streets, looking for early buyers, when a fast horse galloped through the street, and immediately saw a red dress, long hair flying in the air, she galloped past the woodcutter and the fisherman, and her figure soon disappeared into the street.

At the residence of the king of Hangui, his entourage was packing up their belongings in a chaotic manner, when suddenly he saw the young lady rushing in with a cloak, her face was full of anger, and the golden hairpin that tied her hair did not know when it fell, and everyone did not dare to stop her, and watched her break into the room.

In the room, King Hangui was holding the crown, caressing the glittering diamond lovingly, his eyes smiling into a slit, and he turned back to Zhao Quanwei and said: "Please tell the prince that my King Hangui is willing to belong to him, and at the latest, I will unify the whole territory of the east." ”

"Why wait half a year?" A trace of displeasure floated across Zhao Quanwei's horse's face, "Since you have been attached to the prince, your business is naturally our business, what the prince means, we will send troops to help you fight Han Chongdao, what do you think?" ”

King Hangui naturally knew Nanzhao's ambitions, I am afraid that this dispatch of troops, things will not be so simple, he hurriedly waved his hand, "After all, I am still an official of the Tang Dynasty, I can't do too much, I hope that Nanzhao can help me in secret, such as food aid, so that I can also send troops in advance, otherwise let them know," King Hangui pointed to the north, a little afraid and said: "I'm afraid they won't stop without permission." ”

"Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Quanwei sneered repeatedly, "I don't know if you're really confused or pretending to be stupid, can't you see the true identity of that Li Qing?" Is he really a businessman? And his group of wolf-like subordinates, in the Eagle Sorrow Valley, in Anxi City, cut down your soldiers, and the ruthlessness of the attack, if you are not a professional soldier, who can do it? ”

King Hangui smiled, he was just about to speak, suddenly 'Bang! With a bang, Ruyu kicked the door open, her eyes were as cold as ice, she stepped forward and grabbed the goatee of King Hangui and gritted her teeth and said, "Dog, did you change my wine glass last night?" Say! Did you poison my sister? ”

"What! Second Miss is dead? Zhao Quanwei stood up and slowly turned his head to stare at King Hangui, "Governor Handu, this is true. ”

"Humph! What if it's me? King Han Gui pushed Ruyu's hand away, pointed at her and scolded hatefully: "I was going to let Li Qing drink that glass of wine, but I didn't expect you stupid mother-in-law to give Ah Wan to drink, if it weren't for your own bad intentions, how could she die!" ”

King Hangui said to Zhao Quanwei with a cold face: "That woman dares to sweep my face in front of everyone's eyes and throw herself into the arms of the Han people, it doesn't matter if this woman dies!" ”

Zhao Quanwei secretly thought: "Now it's a plan to use people, it's not good to turn against him." ”

Thinking of this, he said to Ruyu: "Since Han Dudu didn't mean to harm her, and the person is already dead, I think this matter is over, and the eldest lady should stop making trouble, your father will be unhappy." With that, he threw another look at her.

Ruyu had to be reminded by him, thinking that he really couldn't turn his face with King Hangui, not to mention ruining his father's plan, but more importantly, if he offended him, he would not have a good life in the future. ”

She saw that King Hangui's face was gloomy, and her heart also secretly regretted it, so she just stood there and bowed her head silently, she suddenly remembered something, and said: "When I came, I saw Li Qing looking for Han Chongdao, and I faintly heard him say what he said, such as being a captain and giving up people, which is very strange. ”

King Hangui and Zhao Quanwei glanced at each other, and at the same time, their faces changed greatly, "It's not good, Li Qing has a showdown!" ’

At this moment, there was a sound of rushing running in the courtyard, and an entourage crawled to report: "Lord, something is wrong!" Got urgent information from the inside, Han Chongdao wanted to kill us. ”

Even the air shook with this news, and King Hangui ran to the courtyard and roared loudly, and suddenly he rushed back, picked up the crown on the table and flew out again, but he didn't even look at Ruyu, but Zhao Quanwei was not in a hurry, and only said to Ruyu: "Miss, now that the situation in the east is chaotic, how about you go back to Nanzhao with me first?" ”

Ruyu has been frightened by them, and now Zhao Quanwei asked her to go back to her parents' house, how unwilling she was, she nodded again and again, she and Zhao Quanwei walked into the courtyard, and King Hangui led a group of followers who had already run away, and at this time, a large group of soldiers appeared on the street, running in this direction with rhythmic footsteps.

Ruyu saw that Zhao Quanwei was still not in a hurry, and she was going back to gather her subordinates, she was so anxious that she shouted, "Mr. Zhao, if you don't go through the city gate again, it will be closed." ”

Zhao Quanwei smiled slightly, "Don't worry, we can definitely go out." ”

The king of cold return is like a bird with a frightened bow, he doesn't care about others, only leads a dozen personal entourage and gallops to the north gate, the north gate has just received an order to close the city, the gate is slowly closing, the soldiers guarding the city saw more than a dozen people rushing to him, immediately opened his bow and arrows and ordered to stop, but the other party ignored it, until he found out that the person on the horse was the king of cold return who wanted them to intercept, the soldiers immediately fired arrows, and the entourage of the king of cold returned to protect the lord with all their lives, while dialing with a sword, while speeding up to the city gate, the horse was like thunder, and rushed to the city gate in a blink of an eye, Dozens of soldiers raised their guns and stabbed, and the entourage of the king of Hangui were all strong people, facing life and death hanging by a thread, they fought desperately, cut down more than a dozen soldiers defending the city, opened the gate that had not yet been closed, and rushed out side by side

。

.

At this time, his subordinates all changed into Tang Army uniforms and were waiting for orders, seeing Li Qing rushing back, Li Siye stepped forward and asked, "Is Han Chongdao willing to cooperate with us?" ”

Li Qing nodded, but a flash of worry flashed in his eyes, and Li Siye was stunned, "What?" Are there any surprises? ”

"There was no accident, but he agreed too happily, which made me a little worried." Li Qing pulled Li Siye to the side and said in a low voice: "I just asked him to slaughter the envoy of Nanzhao together, and it can't be said that the two countries will not fight each other, and he should also consider the consequences of killing the envoy of Nanzhao, but he agreed without hesitation, his cheerfulness makes me a little suspicious, remembering his attitude towards the envoy of Nanzhao a few days ago, it is a little unreasonable!" ”

Li Siye thought about it and said, "Maybe he wants to show you his determination!" ”

"I hope so." Li Qing had no time to think deeply, he changed into his military uniform, turned over and said, "Hurry up, don't let them run!" ”

More than 300 horses swarmed out, the sound of horses' hooves smashed the long street, the street was already full of soldiers from Han Chongdao, the Tang army rushed to the residence of King Hangui, only to see the soldiers grab some of the entourage, and then asked, but learned that it was a step too late, Li Qing immediately turned his horse's head and went straight to the north gate, which was the closest to the north gate, and they could only go from here if they wanted to escape.

Rushed to the north gate, only to see that there was a mess here, there were more than a dozen red blood stains on the ground, shocking, the city gate was ajar, and the dust could be seen in the distance, the guard knew Li Qing, and hurriedly came over to report that the king of Han Gui had rushed out of the city gate, and Han Chongdao led people to chase after him.

"Then the envoy of Nanzhao can be there?" Li Qing hurriedly asked, this is what he is most concerned about, once Zhao Quanwei escapes, Nanzhao will know that the east has changed, and the consequences are extremely serious.

"There is only the king of Han Gui, and there is no envoy of the Southern Zhao."

Li Qing put his mind at ease and ordered the guards: "Hurry up and close the city gate, no one is allowed to leave the city." Seeing that Li Qing had changed into the military uniform of the Tang Army, the guard general did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the gate.

Li Qing secretly thought, "There are more than 500 people in the Nanzhao Mission, and the movement should not be small, they are the closest to the West Gate, and the possibility of going through the West Gate is the greatest. ”

As soon as he dropped his horse's head, he shouted twice, and led three hundred cavalry Tang troops to rush to the west gate, but before he reached the west gate, Li Qing caught a glimpse of a few fish sellers on the side of the road, and ordered Zhang Scar to go to inquire, Zhang Scar asked a few words in the native language, and replied in a moment: "General, they said that there was indeed a large group of men and horses going to the west gate." ”

When the Tang army arrived at the west gate, it was quiet here, there was no Nanzhao mission, and there was no trace of a fight. ”

The guard of the West Gate was nearly forty years old, he was black, thin and tall, his two eyes were always dripping and turning, seeing Li Qing's armor piercing the armor, tall and mighty, and the cavalry behind him was like a mountain, murderous bursts, he was worried, and he asked himself about the whereabouts of the Nanzhao Mission, and hurriedly laughed and said: "The city gate has not been opened here since morning to night, and I have not seen the mission that General Li said, maybe they turned to the South Gate." ”

"Really?" Li Qing seemed to smile, "Okay, let's go to the south gate." He turned his horse and passed in front of the guard, and suddenly grabbed him by the placket of his clothes, and shouted, "But my men have seen him go out of the city from here, and you dare to lie to your face." ”

Sure enough, Li Qing cheated, and the guard was flustered, and stammered: "How many people have gone out, but I don't know who they are?" ”

Li Qing sneered, pulled out his sword and put it on his neck, with a slight force, and a blood mark immediately appeared on his neck, "How many people?" Well, I'll ask the ten defenders separately, and if you dare to lie, I'll let your head fall to the ground. ”

"Someone! Find ten soldiers and ask them separately. Wu Xing responded, waved his hand, and led people to rush up to the city tower.

The guard shouted, "The Nanzhao mission is out of the city, but they are missions, they should be treated politely, what does it matter if you don't stop them!" ”

"Dog, do you dare to lie to me at this time, do you really dare not kill you?" As soon as he used his hand, a line of blood flowed down his neck, and the guard only felt a hot pain in his neck, and smelled a bloody breath rushing in, when Li Qingzhen wanted to kill him, he was so frightened that he begged for mercy, "The general spares his life, and the small one can't help it, it is my lord who ordered me to let the Nanzhao mission out of the city, and I dare not disobey." ”

Li Qing slowly straightened his waist, sure enough, Han Chongdao stepped on two boats, on the one hand, he promised to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, he secretly colluded with Nanzhao, no wonder he accepted his appointment and didn't look at the so-called' Holy Decree', a thought flashed through his heart, I'm afraid that the person Nanzhao really wants to support is Han Chongdao instead of King Hangui, what gave Ah Wan and the crown to King Hangui is just a trick to confuse himself, then Zhao Quanwei has long seen that he is a Tang general and not a so-called businessman, and Han Chongdao will definitely kill himself if he uses himself to kill Queen Hangui.

"What an old treacherous Han Chongdao, I almost fell for you."

Li Qingxin sneered, "Since that's the case, I'll play with you." ”

Thinking of this, he put away his sword and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, when the Nanzhao army comes, all of you will not survive!" ”

The city gate creaked open, Li Qing urged the horse, and more than 300 horsemen rushed out of the city like a strong wind.
