Chapter 1043: Blame

Under the towering Han capital, in the deep and winding underground waterway, Ke Qing is familiar with the road. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Shentong, Li Daoxuan, and Li Daoyan followed behind, going left and right, and they didn't know where they were for a long time, and they were even dizzy in the direction.

"Is it there?" Li Shentong felt that he had entered a big labyrinth and that he had become a rat. The underground waterway is actually very large, and there is still a lot of space on the head of a person walking upright, but it is deep and dark inside, and there are many snakes, rats and bats, and there is always a bad smell.

Especially when I had to walk with water, my shoes and the hem of my robe were already wet, and my feet still felt itchy.

"It's coming soon." Ke Qing walked in front and didn't look back.

It arrived immediately, but it turned around for another half an hour before Ke Qing finally stopped.

Ke Qing stopped, and then imitated the cry of a mouse, but this cry had a unique rhythm, which seemed to be a cipher signal. After a while, shouts were heard in the distance.

A dark shadow quickly arrived.

"Sect leader, King Yue asked me to lead you over."

Ke Qing nodded, and then beckoned to Li Shentong, and they followed behind the man for another half an hour before finally stopping.

"It's time to do this, right?" Li Daozong said with some annoyance.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, it's been hard for a few princes, but now, it's always necessary to be cautious." With laughter, Li Chao appeared.

"King Yue." Li Shentong and the three hurriedly stepped forward.

"After a farewell for more than half a year, a few people will be fine." Li Chaodao.

"King Yue is still in good spirits, and we are far behind." Li Shentong stepped forward with a smile.

Li Chao looked at them, the two of them took such a big risk to come over, their situation at this time was indeed not good, and they were eager to get out of this predicament. It's good, that's what he needs.

"King Yue summoned me to wait, I don't know what to order?"

"Don't dare to take orders, I want to ask the two of you for help."

"Although King Yue speaks, we will do our best."

"I heard that the two of them have won the trust of the Emperor Taishang, and they each command an elite in Hanjing City?"

"It's not that the emperor trusts me, it's just that we are all clans." Li Shentong said modestly.

Li Chao said, "Don't hide it from the two of you, now I have led 100,000 Qinwang soldiers and horses to surround Hanjing City, if you want to attack it, I am sure that I will break through Hanjing City within ten days." It's just that you also know that the queen and the crown prince are still in the hands of the emperor, and I heard that these days, the emperor has executed more than ten of His Majesty's concubines, which makes me very embarrassed. ”

"We can open the gates of Hanjing for the general." Li Shen Channel.

Li Daozong thought for a while, "There are still many people in Beijing who are actually in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and they were also detained and coerced by Emperor Taishang like us. I'm secretly contacting, and I should be able to pull a lot of people. ”

Li Chao shook his head.

"If I just want to take Hanjing City, I don't need to go through so much trouble, let alone look for you." He sighed, "My top priority at the moment is not to capture Hanjing, but how to ensure the safety of the Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then to capture Hanjing." ”

"Does King Yue want us to rescue the queen and the crown prince?" Li Shentong asked, he frowned, "But the Emperor Taishang put them under house arrest in the palace and political hall, which is in the harem, and there are many guards, so we can't enter at all." ”

"That's right, the people guarding the palace are all Qianniuwei personally selected by the Emperor Taishang, these people only listen to the will of the Emperor Taishang, and they can't even be transferred when they are built."

"How many people are there in Qianniuwei?" Li Chao asked?

"Qianniuwei has eight battalions of soldiers and horses, each battalion is five hundred, they are divided into several squads, and they take turns to defend the palace city, and the defense is very strong." Li Daozong replied.

"It's only 4,000 people, and you two have more than 10,000 horses under your command, right?"

The two nodded, and they now had five thousand soldiers and horses each. Originally, they were stationed outside the city, but because of Li Chao's arrival, all the soldiers and horses outside the city withdrew into the city, and they are now stationed in the outer city.

"If I launch a siege on Hanjing, then the Emperor Taishang will definitely send troops to defend it. At that time, most of the soldiers and horses in the city will be concentrated in the outer city walls, and there will only be these 5,000 Niu Wei left in the palace, right? ”

"That's true."

"Very good, then you will have a chance to raid the palace."

"But even though we have 10,000 men, not all of our men will obey us. Also, although there are only 5,000 people in the palace, they guard the palace gate, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they have an advantage, but I am afraid that we may not be able to take it. ”

"Also, if the Emperor Taishang escorts the queen and the crown prince to the city, what will we do?"

Li Chao stared at the two of them, "There are more than 10,000 of you, when the raid is launched, the 10,000 elites in the East Palace will also leave the palace to join the attack on the palace." ”

"Moreover, I believe that even if Qianniuwei is of the same mind, it is impossible for everyone to have the same heart as the Emperor, and there must be some people who are not willing to go all the way to the black."

Li Daozong asked again what if the Emperor Taishang used the queen and the crown prince as a threat to block their attack.

"When the time comes, you can do it yourself."

Li Shentong and Li Daozong looked at each other, but Li Chao gave such an answer.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and none of us know what will happen in the next moment, which requires you to make decisions and act on the spot."

After talking for a while, this secret meeting was over, and Li Chao asked them to send them back.

"The next group should be almost here, right?" Li Chao asked.

Ke Qing nodded, "It's almost there." ”

Li Chao turned around and sat down, this is also an underground waterway, but this is a place where several waterways meet, so the place is very large.

"King Yue, can they be trusted?"

"In order to save themselves, they will do their best." Li Chao said, Li Daozong They don't have any choice, Li Chao gave them a way to save themselves, they have to work hard.

However, Li Chao did not pin his hopes only on the two of them, in fact, everyone in Hanjing City is now in danger, and there are a lot of people who want to get rid of the broken ship of the Emperor Taishang, Li Chao picks and chooses at will, and draws up a long list.

However, these people are only supporting roles in this big drama, and the real most important thing is to kill the emperor and the abolished prince, as well as rescue the queen and the prince, and capture Hanjing is only secondary.

"The most critical step is to do it ourselves." Li Chao said to Ke Qing, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and it's time for the Shadow Assassin to make a move." When the time comes, I need you to assassinate the Emperor and the deposed prince as soon as possible. But this matter is very dangerous, we have to do it unknowingly, we can't let people know that you did it, or even let people know that I did it, we have to pretend that it was a chaotic army to kill, whether it is to blame Qian Niuwei, or Li Daozong and other anti-water rebels, this thing has to be done without leakage and seamlessly, understand? ”

Ke Qing nodded, "Please rest assured, I will take action myself when the time comes." ”

"No, you are someone close to me, easy to be recognized, you arrange someone else."

"Okay."
