Chapter 67: Cui Weidong and the Assassination
In a paper kite shop in the east city of Chang'an City, a man with burns on his face limped into the back hall, bowed to a son who was drinking tea and said: "Son, it has been verified, yesterday that person was Li Chengyan, today he had a very happy relationship with a woman from the family of Xu Chengde, the chief official of the crown princess, and now he is putting paper kites on the bank of Qujiang Pond, should we do it today?" As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the boy who was drinking tea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the hurry, it's like glue, waiting, waiting, we're planning well" The son's name is Cui Weidong, a descendant of the Cui family, because he contacted grain merchants in Jiangnan, he escaped a catastrophe, and was rescued by the old Pu who burned his face, and came to Chang'an.
"Pay close attention to Li Chengyan's movements, it's time to activate the eyeliner in the womb, this time, there is no self with him" Cui Weidong said gloomily, although his voice was small, but there was an indomitable momentum. It makes people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts when they listen to it.
Li Chengyan is not a fairy, naturally no one wants to deal with him, and gradually fell in love with this gentle and virtuous woman, Li Chengyan doesn't know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty, naturally he hasn't heard of Xu Hui who he is, so he didn't have any burden of robbing his father's woman's heart, it was the end of the year, Li Chengyan had a lot of time to accompany Xu Hui, Yang Tinger and Yan Yan were in the palace to make it suitable for the New Year, although there was some taste, but they knew in their hearts that Li Chengyan would definitely not have only a few wives after being the national prince, Loving the two of them like this is already the biggest effort Li Chengyan can make.
At first, Li Chengyan, Changle and Xu Hui traveled, and then Changle disappeared, leaving the two of them, Chang'an was tired of shopping, and they wanted to go out for a walk, the two of them developed very quickly in the past few days, although Xu Chengde was worried about the filth of the harem, but there was no way, since the eldest grandson entered the Xu Mansion, the people who originally entered the door and wanted to propose relatives have no news.
Cui Weidong quietly listened to the report of the lame servant, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, the lame old man retreated, Cui Weidong put incense on the large row of rankings behind him, as if those rankings had souls, and muttered: "Soon, soon, grandpa, father, eldest brother, you wait for Weidong, after doing this, Weidong will go down to reunite with you, A-Niang, do you know how much Dong'er misses you, how much Dong'er misses you?" ”
Cui Weidong's tears have dried up, although he looks sad, but there is not a drop of tears, the thousand-year-old family died, Cui Weidong every time he sleeps, he is reluctant to get up, because in the dream, his father is still so kind, his grandfather is still so protective, the younger siblings are playing in the courtyard, although in the dream the father's head is always crooked, and the heads of the younger siblings will fall from time to time, but seeing them is happiness, Cui Weidong quietly waits for the sunset, and will go to Yushan to arrange after sunset, One hundred and fifty dead soldiers are the old department of Prince Yin, and the last hole card that the Cui family can take out, no matter how good his martial arts are, he will not escape death.
"Miss, where is that man going to take you tomorrow? Can you bring Ling'er?" Ling'er pulled the corner of Xu Hui's clothes and said coquettishly.
"Can't take it, tomorrow Brother Yan will take me to Yushan to see his master, and then take him to hunt in that area, he said that next year there will be a very big academy in Yushan, just go to see the terrain, and say what model to do" Xu Hui sat at the table and copied the calligraphy over and over again, and said to Ling'er over and over again, as soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, Xu Chengde walked in with a smile, looked at his daughter, and said with a smile: "Hui'er, I heard that you got a book of Prince Chengyan?" It's still genuine", looking at her father, Xu Hui said with a slight smile.
"This was given to me by Li Gongzi, you are the chief official of the prince's mansion, don't you want the prince's copybook?"
"Those calligraphy in the prince's mansion are strict, in this way, I will exchange it with you, don't you often go to my study secretly" Xu Chengde said to his daughter flatteringly.
"Don't give it, unless" Xu Hui rolled his eyes and looked at Xu Chengde.
"Unless what? You said that as long as your father can do it, he will definitely do it," Xu Chengde patted his chest and promised.
"Then the kid said, you must not be angry," Xu Hui said.
"Okay, okay, don't get angry, you say it"
"The child's marriage, the child is in charge of his own decision" Xu Hui stared at Xu Chengde uneasily, this was already unfilial piety in ancient times, so Xu Hui was very worried that his father would be angry. Xu Chengde was silent for a while, didn't want his father to interfere? Is this the father can interfere the silly girl was carried away by love and love and has not seen the identity of the prince for so long xu chengde looked at xu huidao with a wry smile.
"Okay, I promised you" Xu Hui put down the pen, stretched out his little finger to Xu Chengde and said: "A gentleman's word" Li Chengde hooked Xu Hui's little finger and said, "Whip the horse quickly".
Yanluo Town,
"Brother Yan, this is Yanluo Town, I haven't been here yet" Looking at the plaque with three gilt characters written on the tall archway, Xu Hui asked excitedly, the glazed products in Yanluo Town are now rare, a small glazed cup costs three silver coins, and I heard that a small glazed rabbit on the Goryeo side costs three hundred silver coins.
"There is an urgent matter today, don't enter the town first, let's talk about it when we come back" Li Chengyan bypassed Yanluo Town, turned his horse and headed towards Yushan, followed by more than a dozen people from the prince's guard.
"Coming" There were a few people hiding in the lush bitter grass in the dry grass, the man lifted a yellow oilcloth, walked behind the oilcloth and tore off the oilcloth, only to see that under the oilcloth was an eight-bull crossbow, and a child's arm-thick arrow shaft exuded the cold light of the forest, moving slowly with Li Chengyan. Dozens of black-clothed people in the back were also aiming at the direction where Li Chengyan was located.
When people are nervous, any faint stimulus can make them nervously collapse, "click" a dead soldier stepped on a dead branch, the guard holding the eight-bull crossbow was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the crossbow arrow flew towards Li Chengyan with a "woo", Cui Weidong scolded and said, "Kill!" ”
It's not early, rush to Yushan as soon as possible to see the geological situation, next year's catastrophe plan has been done under the leadership of Li Er, Li Er has done a survey on more than 20 states in Guanzhong, there are a lot of locust eggs in each field, the catastrophe is inevitable, the lesser of the two phases of damage, the people in Guanzhong are immersed in the joy of the harvest years ago, but they can't think that the disaster is not far from them.
Li Chengyan was riding on a horse and was thinking wildly, and suddenly with a pop, he felt that he was empty, and before Li Chengyan could turn around, he was pressed under the horse, and there was a sharp pain in his feet, Wang Zhong yelled: "Assassin! There are assassins! Protect His Highness to retreat first" The words were not finished, the words over there were not finished, a burst of arrows and feathers were shot over, everyone stood in front of Li Chengyan, in addition to the mistake, Li Chengyan and several people escaped the best range of crossbow arrows, there was the protection of horses in front, and the prince guards were all elite soldiers of a hundred battles, although there were many crossbow arrows, but the damage was limited, as soon as the crossbow arrows stopped, there was a shout of killing in the distance, Li Chengyan pushed away the dead horse, stood up with Xu Hui's support, and felt it carefully, but it was dislocated, did not hurt the muscles and bones, and put his feet right, Stepping hard, I heard a click, Li Chengyan chopped it gently, although it felt a little painful, but it did not hinder the action, the people were fine, the horses were gone, everyone took out their Tang knives, a guard pulled out a bamboo tube, pulled it against the bottom, and a firework flew into the sky with thick smoke, and a crisp sound of "boom" came after a while,
"Hui'er, are you afraid?" Li Chengyan said, holding the Tang knife in one hand and Xu Hui's hand in the other.
"Brother Yan, with you, Hui'er is not afraid", although the words were said beautifully, the trembling voice betrayed the fear in Xu Hui's heart.
"Fight to the Death!! Li Chengyan yelled.
"Fight to the Death!!
Assassin Yanluo Town Village Entrance,
"Xing Shan, you kid is so blessed, you will enter the prince's guard in the spring," a man with a scar on his face said to a young man in his early twenties with a package behind him.
"Uncle Fusheng didn't go to work today? Why do you have time to bask in the sun here? The young man named Xingshan said to the man with the scar.
"At the end of the year, His Royal Highness said that Shangyuan is working in Shanggong after the next year, aren't you kid in Zuo Wuwei? Why are you back? Scarface, who is called Floating, said.
"Hehe, Captain Wu said that I was going to enter the Prince Guard next year, so I gave the captain a leave, and I will spend the New Year at home this year, and I will go directly next year"
"Do a good job, the prince won't let us follow him, I already knew that Wang Zhong's group of boys recognized the prince's retainers, and Lao Tzu also went with his mother, hey" Yanluo Town is a well-known veteran town, different from other government soldiers and towns, a town is full of cavalry soldiers, and it is Luo Yi's personal guard back then, everyone relies on Li Chengyan to have today's life, and they all remember Li Chengyan's goodness.
"Boom" There was a crisp cannon sound in his ears, Xing Shan frowned, looked at the direction from which the sound came, looked at the red smoke and dust, his pupils shrank, and he glanced at Uncle Fusheng, and the two of them walked into the town quickly, shouting: "The prince is in a hurry!! The prince is in a hurry!! You Xingfeng, who heard the sound, put down the small wine cup, took out a Tang knife from the kang head, didn't care about hanging it and put it on, walked to the yard in a few steps, picked up a horse, didn't put on the saddle, and rode in the direction of the sound.
There were also more than a dozen men from the town, all with cold eyes and a murderous aura all around them.
"it! Chop up those bastards, Fusheng, let's go first, you greet first" A bearded man scolded and told Fusheng to go to the town to greet people.
"Tread, trample" There is no wind at all in today's weather, and the direction of the smoke and dust can be faintly seen.
The people on Yushan were also alarmed, and the rule of the prince guard was that the red fireworks were a hurry! 100,000 urgent, this is the rule that Li Chengyan set for everyone, (the production of signal flares is very simple) The red thing is urgent, indicating that the enemy is coming, the enemy is incapable, and emergency support is needed, the yellow one is nothing serious, or retreat, and the green one is standing still, or hiding.
"Prince Wei's urgent move!" In a few days, the Chinese New Year will be over, and the eldest grandson is packing his luggage, and Sima Xiang is also preparing to return to the East Palace to accompany his grandchildren for the New Year. Listening to Changsun Chong's words, more than thirty gentlemen, along with Sima Xiang and more than a dozen academy guards, rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.
They are moving quickly, and it takes time, but Li Chengyan's side can no longer support it, they are all equal opponents, and now there are only six people left, including Wang Zhong and Li Chengyan, Li San, Li Chengyan and others, Li Chengyan escorted Xu Hui to retreat in the direction of Yanluo Town while fighting. If it were him, these people would naturally not be able to hurt Li Chengyan, but there is also a Xu Hui behind Li Chengyan, although Xu Hui is still calm, but she is still a woman after all, and she can barely keep up with Li Chengyan's pace.
