Kou Jiuhui and the others instantly understood what Yang Chong meant, such two people are not ordinary characters, if they are placed in Chang'an, they don't know what kind of fame they will toss. But what everyone didn't expect was that after Chai Shao went straight to Taiyuan from the trail in history, Li Xiuning and Ma Sanbao quickly set off to return to the Li manor in Juxian County, disguised themselves as men, and called themselves Li Gongzi, sold the local industry, helped the victims, and quickly recruited a team of several hundred people.

In order to cooperate with Li Yuan's army, in more than three months, Li Xiuning recruited four or five rebel armies with considerable scale on the rivers and lakes, including Hu Shang He Panren. Captured Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping. This rebel army, which is led by a woman, has very strict military discipline and has been widely supported. The common people called Li Xiuning "Li Niangzi" and her army "Lady Army".

The Women's Army was famous, and many people came from thousands of miles, and finally more than 70,000 people. Li Xiuning's military intuition and insight can be called a genius, and even the famous general Qu Tutong was defeated in her hands, so it can be said that before Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, the role of Li Xiuning and Ma Sanbao was not under Li Shimin.

Li Xiuning and the three were stopped at the door, and Liu Wenjing came in alone to meet Yang Chong; Yang Chong and Gao Junya are old acquaintances, but Yang Chong didn't let Gao Junya loosen his ties first, but said to Liu Wenjing with a smile: "Brother Wenjing, it's just the last step, please cut off Ma Sanbao's head." ”

Liang Shuo shouted: "Come on, tie up Ma Sanbao and send a knife to Lord Liu." ”

The four guards at the door immediately stepped forward and put Ma Sanbao down, and one of them pulled out his waist knife and handed it to Liu Wenjing; Unexpectedly, Yang Chong was so true, Ma Sanbao was so frightened that he lost his smile, Liu Wenjing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Manager Yang, I have already sent the person, why do you have to let Ma Sanbao die." ”

Yang Chong sneered: "Lord Liu, a deal is a deal, if Li Yuan can't even make this minimum promise, how do you want me and others to believe the promise he made." Besides, deliberately sending a living person to ask me to kill someone is trying to plant an unkind hat on me, and his heart can be punished, Lord Liu, you are playing with fire. ”

Liu Wenjing's heart was cold, knowing that he had been calculated again, what Yang Chong wanted was not Ma Sanbao's life and death, but to prove to the world that Li Yuan's words were unreliable. Li Yuan's practice of sending people to the living may be able to earn points in benevolence and righteousness, but if he values the life of a slave more than his allies, he has to make people think deeply, no wonder Li Shimin suggested bringing a head, but he was vetoed by himself and Pei Ju.

Li Xiuning rushed into the hall, pointed at Yang Chong and said, "Yang Chong, you are also a famous person, aren't you afraid that you will be laughed at by the world for killing a scholar?" ”

"Fame?" Yang Chong said unceremoniously: "Li Yuan can send you to Wuwei for himself, do you still care about fame?" Besides, it must have been Lord Liu who killed people, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Li Xiuning was angry and anxious, and took a step forward and said, "What do you want to do before you are willing to let Ma Sanbao go?" ”

Kou Jiuhui suddenly stopped in front of Li Xiuning, and reminded slowly: "Miss Li, please take a few steps back, don't let Ma Sanbao not be saved, and give away your own life, today for the sake of you being a woman, it is better not to show the things in the Quenching Heaven Pavilion." ”

Li Xiuning's face changed, and Liu Wenjing was even more angry, if Li Xiuning failed to assassinate Yang Chong, all Li Yuan's plans would come to naught. The two guards had already found a firing mechanism with two poisonous needles hidden in the sole of Ma Sanbao's shoe, Liu Wenjing didn't care whether the man or woman gave or not, and grabbed Li Xiuning and said, "Third Miss, don't." ”

Yang Chong is such a big force, even if he kills him, there will be another person to take over, Li Yuan wants time, if another person takes over, do not play cards according to Yang Chong's ideas, and directly enter Hedong, Li Yuan will not be able to reach Chang'an for several years; If Yang Chong didn't die, it would be even worse, according to Yang Chong's divine vision and the secrets he mastered, Li Yuan would probably have only one way left to defect to the Turks.

Ma Sanbao shouted at the door: "Yang Chong, you are humiliating the Chai family, didn't you say that Li Shimin is powerful?" Why don't Li Yuan send Li Shimin over as a hostage. ”

This is exactly what everyone can't understand, looking at Li Xiuning's eyes that turned into doubts, Yang Chong said lightly: "Li Xiuning Xu gave Chai Shao nothing else, just because Chai Shen is Li Yuan's agent in Chang'an, responsible for lobbying the Guan Longshi clan, as for whether Li Xiuning is dead or alive after arriving in Chang'an, the Chai family and the Li family don't care." If Li Shimin wants to come to Wuwei, Li Yuanxing would rather not send troops to Chang'an, Li Yuan and I are betting on the world, how can we stop the chess game. ”

Yang Chong's words were like a needle, making Li Xiuning feel painful, like a frightened rabbit taking a few steps back; Ma Sanbao also lost the power to call, Liu Wenjing sighed and asked, "Manager Yang, is the covenant still valid?" ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said, "As long as you kill Ma Sanbao." ”

Liu Wenjing didn't say much, let go of the hand holding Li Xiuning, leaned over to pick up the knife, turned around and walked towards the door; Li Xiuning suddenly said loudly: "Yang Chong, I promised to be a concubine for you, and you spared Ma Sanbao." ”

Yang Chong shook his head quietly and said: "Li Xiuning, you are here to be a hostage, not to marry me, even if you and the Chai family dissolve the marriage contract, you and I may not be a good match; Everyone here knows that I am a person who is afraid of guilt, and I can't do the matter of concubines at all, so don't talk about it today. Lord Liu, let's do it. ”

If Ma Sanbao arrives at Wuwei and begs for mercy, Yang Chong may let him go, but Ma Sanbao is ready to assassinate himself, and he wants to hit himself in words just now, Yang Chong can't bear it, this Wei must be established, otherwise Li Xiuning will follow the same example with luck and give birth to many things. It's just that everyone didn't expect Yang Chong to say that he was so calm, where did the husband's spirit go, and Li Xiuning was even more dumbfounded.

Liu Wenjing didn't hesitate any longer, and after going out, he cut off Ma Sanbao's head with a knife, and threw the knife to the ground; Liu Wenjing was depressed in his heart and before he could vomit, he heard the two guards replying loudly: "Chief Qiqi, the deceased person is definitely Ma Sanbao, the person we met in Chang'an." ”

Liu Wenjing only felt a chill in his neck, if he made a fake according to someone's idea, he would die for nothing, and Hexi would still raise troops as usual, Yang Chong was too terrible. Li Xiuning's eyes were red, but he quickly regained his composure and asked in a cold voice, "Do I have freedom in Wuwei?" ”

Yang Chong said lightly: "You are free in Zhangye, except for someone to follow, you are not allowed to go out of the city, and you can go wherever you want in the city." But you have to remember that even if you are doing business in Zhangye, you just don't get involved in espionage and intelligence, and once you find out, you will be deemed to have declared war with your father, and I will immediately send troops. Jiu Heng, take Li Xiuning to the residence. ”
