He took off his face scarf, put down his weapon, and put his hands behind his head. Unable to look at the only five people left in the encirclement, he coldly warned.

Seeing that a few people were motionless and unable to take the bow and crossbow in the hands of a soldier on the side, they shot an arrow at a black-clothed masked man, leaving only an afterimage in the eyes of everyone, and before the masked black-clothed man could react, the arrow had hit the shoulder.

"Ah......h The black-clad masked man who was shot screamed involuntarily.

He didn't even see how the arrow flew in front of him, only that he felt as if he had been punched in the shoulder, and then the pain that came from his heart tingling and his whole body was numb.

"This is the last warning." Before the words fell, the arrow came out, and the other shoulder of the man in black was also hit by an arrow in an instant.

Can't always be a flat tone, no matter what you do, it seems to be an extremely ordinary thing, although the tone is flat at the moment, it is full of cold chills that make several people goosebumps.

Li Hong glanced at it from a distance, then looked back at the endless, winding and rugged path in front of him, thought about it and finally decided, stepped forward to see if those people were Wang Kang and Wang Jing of the Jinyang Wang clan as he guessed.

Surrounded by a group of people, he had just walked to the front of the encirclement, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, Li Hong had just looked at it, and he had already seen it, and it was Yang Wu on the way to them.

sighed silently in his heart, and then Yang Wu appeared in front of him and said to him respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has a decree to let the slaves and maids take them back for trial." ”

Li Hong shook his head, looked at Yang Wu and said, "Are you in the corner of the cat?" Just wait for my people to subdue them, and then you will come out and rob people? ”

"The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid are in accordance with His Majesty's will." Yang Wu said as he cautiously took out a crystal pendant from his arms, which was the first crystal dragon pendant that Li Hong gave to Li Zhi back then.

This pendant Li Zhi is extremely cherished, although he does not wear it often now, and he also knows that the price of this crystal has begun to be slightly lower than the price of the jade pendant, and it is no longer as precious as it was at the beginning.

But Li Zhi cherished the piece that Li Hong gave him to the bones, and took it out from time to time to look at it, with a look of satisfaction and pride, and never let people touch it at will, even Wu Mei rarely could hold it and flip it around.

As time went on, Li Zhi unconsciously turned this piece of crystal into an extremely important token that could represent himself.

So slowly, an unwritten rule was formed in the court, and seeing this piece of crystal pendant was equivalent to receiving the emperor's will.

Among the hundreds of officials in the court, there are naturally people who take this piece of crystal pendant, which has vaguely begun to circulate, which is the emperor's resolute support for Li Hong's attitude as the prince, and some people even say that His Majesty attaches great importance to this piece of crystal pendant, which is actually a signal to give power to the prince.

Li Hong has naturally heard of these rumors, and at this moment, seeing that Yang Wu has also moved out this piece of crystal pendant, he pouted angrily, he is still a step late, it seems that the father and the queen mother seem to already know the inside story.

Impatiently waved his hand to signal Yang Wu to put away the crystal pendant, and looked at the five people in the encirclement who had untied their face towels, held their heads with their hands back, and squatted on the ground.

The other two were Turkic, whom Li Hong did not recognize. Turning his head, he asked, "Who are they?" ”

An embarrassed expression flashed on Yang Wu's face, and among the instructions given to him by His Majesty, there was to try not to let the little rabbit cub ask more about the identity of the two people. If asked, you can leave it unanswered.

When she said it at the time, Wu Mei pouted on the side, and poured cold water and said, "Do you ask him if Yang Wu has the courage to refuse the little rabbit cub?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty and the Empress are now in the Zongsheng Palace, and they already know that you have left the ...... of Chang'an City without permission." Yang Wu reluctantly diverted the topic, implying that Li Hong should not ask.

"Hehe, Yangwu, you can endure it. They already know that I am out of the boundary of Chang'an City, do you think I went back and escaped this beating? I can't escape, I can't escape, why don't you let me have a good time now? Hurry up and tell me what you know, or I'll beat you up! No, I'm going to kill someone right now! Li Hong threatened.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, and the slave knows her mistakes. Your Highness, don't embarrass the slave and maid, even if the slave and maid die, they will not tell you that these two people are two cronies of Ashnatler, the son of the former Khan of the Eastern Turks, Ashina Hubo. Yang Wu looked like he was sacrificing his life, which made Li Hong despise him for a while.

"Well, since you don't want to say that I won't force you, who let you carry your father's will. Forget it, then I'm ....... Li Hong slowly walked into the encirclement and saw that the five people had been tied up by five flowers.

"Your Highness, you command." Yang Wu immediately followed beside him and said.

"Can I beat them up and get angry? Look at my arm and let them cut it off. Li Hong asked.

Yang Wudu was about to cry, his expression was more bitter than a bitter gourd, and he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be so easy to speak, if he was good at talking, he would not be His Royal Highness the Prince!

But His Majesty's will has already been disobeyed, and any further disobedience is disloyalty and unfilial piety as a slave, so he shook his head resolutely and said, "No, Your Highness." Your Majesty said that it must be brought back intact, as long as you don't slap your face, you are free. ”

"Hehe......." Li Hong smiled and said to Wang Kang and Wang Jing: "It's a good day, but you have to do what the rebels do, you deserve it." Lawlessness, just take a breath, by the way, the arms are all removed, and let them taste the feeling of not being able to move their shoulders. ”

"You can't touch me? Even if you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you dare to beat me, when I go back, our clan will be ready to break away from the ...... of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Your uncle! Give you face, do you have a part in speaking! Li Hong suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife in Wutian's hand on the side, and a cold light with murderous intent flashed, and the horizontal knife cut into the man's shoulder.

"Ah......h Mu Kun immediately howled in pain.

"Seal his mouth! Give you face, I really treat myself as a human being, go back and tell you what kind of Teller, Lao Tzu will make him obedient sooner or later. Li Hong let go of the horizontal knife, and everyone didn't dare to care about the horizontal knife that was still stuck in Mu Kun's shoulder bone, so they could only watch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get angry.

"Alright, the people are handed over to you, and we are leaving." Li Hong clapped his hands, and said helplessly: This is the overall situation, I can't help it, my father can't help it, and my mother can't help it.

In order to completely subjugate the Eastern Turks to the feet of the Tang Dynasty, and to achieve temporary peace in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty, he is now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and in the face of the intercession of the Eastern Turks, he can only suffer a dumb loss.

But Li Hong didn't think so, the Eastern Turks dared to assassinate their mother with the Jinyang Wang clan this time, and they couldn't just forget it, otherwise, who knows if these people will get even worse!

As soon as he took two steps, Yang Wu ran over again with a shy face, and said with a dry smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has a decree with the queen to let the slave and maid take Bai Chun...... White pure that...... Bring ...... with them. ”

"Yangwu, I think you're going crazy! What does Bai Chun have to do with them? I haven't been in touch for years, what do you mean by this? Li Hong's eyes widened, and the calf protector asked.

"Your Highness, you misunderstood, in fact, you just asked Bai Chun to go back and accept the ...... of the Lower Punishment Department and others." Yang Wu said in a panic.

", it's impossible, dare to move Bai Chun, I'll chop off one of your hands, but it's not like I chopped off your finger before. Everyone is riding on the head, don't be angry with others, just take your own ability? Get out! Li Hong couldn't stand this wretchedness, and he was very dissatisfied.

But now the will of the father and the queen mother, I still have to obey it, and I also need to understand the difficulties of the father and the queen mother.

There is no way, this is the helplessness of being the emperor and queen of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the helplessness of being a son of man. And this is also the difficulty of the entire royal family, and the royal family has to compromise a kind of sadness.

seems to be a high-minded emperor who dominates all beings, but in fact, many times he has all kinds of helplessness and regrets, and the art of scheming is an upgraded version of dealing with people and things, to put it bluntly.

When dealing with these barbarians who are not very civilized, it is completely impassable to know and reason and move with emotion. Although Datang is very powerful now, it does not really have absolute influence and deterrence, which is why there are still wars going on in the surrounding area.

The destruction of Tuyuhun in Tubo will naturally make the Eastern Turks and others who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty see a trace of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty, give them a glimmer of light in their ambitions, and begin to let them test the bottom line and principles of the Tang Dynasty by splashing and rolling around.

Therefore, Li Hong now has to hand over this matter to his father and mother to deal with, and he must also make the same move as the emperor and queen on the surface.

But he believes that this assassination incident will be a big blow to the Jinyang Wang family. After all, Jinyang was Li Tang's base camp when he was fighting the country, and neither his father nor his mother would allow turmoil and discord to appear there.

The sun had gradually sunk in the west, and after the arms of lawlessness and lawlessness were removed behind him, the screams of tears in pain could no longer be heard, and everyone's mouths were tightly stuffed with thick cotton cloths.

Zongsheng Palace is already far away, after arriving at the foot of the mountain, not only Li Hong's least favorite dusk has arrived, but the entire foot of the mountain has been surrounded by Qianniuwei and Jin Wuwei, needless to say, the father and mother must be in this Zongsheng Palace, waiting to beat themselves.

Li Hong's left and right Qingdao and Bai Chun's 2,000 people naturally couldn't go any further, so under the leadership of their respective commanders, they slowly went to the military camp in the forbidden area of Taiyi City.

As soon as he stepped into the mountain gate, Li Hong involuntarily shrunk his neck, looked at the heavily guarded soldiers at the door, and casually waved over a question: "That...... Where are my father and queen mother now? If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
