Chapter 1004: Storming the City Gate

"Husband, don't worry about it, I'll deal with it myself!" Although Princess Pingyang is usually a docile wife, don't forget that she is a decisive general on the battlefield, only to see that after she finished speaking, she turned her horse's head and patted her horse away, and the cavalry she brought was also swept away like a gust of wind, and Li Xiu had no time to stop it.

"Oops!" Seeing Princess Pingyang leaving murderously, Li Xiu couldn't help but scream, and immediately asked people to prepare horses to chase her, after all, Princess Pingyang is easy not to get angry, but if she is really anxious, no one knows what she will do?

But before Li Xiu got on the horse, he saw Xiang Shanzhi coming back with someone at this time, and when he saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don Ma, just now I saw the princess roaring away with people, it seems that she was going to Chang'an City, what is going on?" ”

Although Xiang Shanzhi knew that the origin of the man in black was not simple, he didn't know the cause and effect of Li Xiu's assassination, and he couldn't understand why Princess Pingyang suddenly came, so now he was also confused, after all, he was not good at these things.

"It's a long story, have you found a living mouth in my brother?" Li Xiu also sighed at this time, and then asked again.

"Hey~, don't mention it, a lot of corpses of the men in black have been found, but these people are extremely cautious, every man in black has been mended, even if the dead body is not in court, it seems that they are afraid of leaving a living mouth, but a few of our injured brothers survived, and now they have been brought back for treatment!" As soon as he heard Li Xiu ask about this, Xiang Shanzhi also slapped his thigh angrily.

Hearing that the man in black didn't leave any living mouth, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, but this situation was actually not surprising, after all, those families have always done things without leakage, and this time the selection is all dead, and there are special people who are responsible for extinguishing the mouth, leaving Li Xiu with no evidence at all.

"Brother Xiang, you help me choose a team and escort me to Chang'an City immediately!" Since there is no evidence here, Li Xiu did not delay any longer, and immediately instructed Xiang Shanzhi that the matter is urgent now, not to mention what Princess Pingyang is doing with the cavalry rushing into Chang'an City, at least he must report his assassination to Li Shimin, because he is worried that the family may have other actions.

Xiang Shanzhi also knew that what happened today was about to overturn the court, and even Princess Pingyang led troops into Chang'an just now, which made him suddenly feel like he was back in Xuanwumen, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately selected two hundred young men from Zhuangzi, and escorted Li Xiu to Chang'an with weapons.

However, it always takes some time to gather people, and it can't be everyone, after all, Li Xiu has already encountered an assassination before, so he doesn't want to have a second time, but he thinks that Princess Pingyang rushed to Chang'an City with the army, and with his guess, it is likely to be for those families, thinking of this, Li Xiu can't help but feel anxious.

Finally, he finally gathered all the people, and then escorted Li Xiu to Chang'an City, but at this time it was almost dawn, when Li Xiu and they came to the gate of Chang'an, they found that the soldiers guarding the city were also in a mess, Li Xiu often passed from here, the general surnamed Song, was also Li Xiu's acquaintance, and saw him come and hurriedly ran to complain to him.

It was also from General Song's narration that Li Xiu knew that Princess Pingyang came to the city gate with cavalry half an hour ago, and it was not yet time to open the city gate, but Princess Pingyang forced them to open the door, although General Song was responsible, but he did not dare to provoke Princess Pingyang, and finally he wanted to go out of the city to meet in person, and then ask about the other party's intentions, if there is a legitimate reason, he can make an exception.

However, what General Song never expected was that as soon as he opened the city gate, Princess Pingyang actually waved his troops directly into Chang'an City, and did not give him a chance to ask at all.

"Don't panic, the princess rushed to the city gate for a reason, and I will explain to Your Majesty in person later, now your most important task is to strictly guard the city gate, and don't have any slackness!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, the family even dared to assassinate him, no one was sure that they had no other plans, and the gate of Chang'an City was the most important, so he also told General Song a few more words.

General Song also found that Li Xiu's arm was injured at this time, and there were blood stains on his clothes, which made him also startled, and he said very cautiously at the moment: "Don't you have a big event in the court, do you want to close the city gate and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving?" ”

"That's not necessary, you still open the city gate as usual, you just need to be on guard!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment at this time and said, the current movement of the family is unknown, and this time the family tore their faces and assassinated themselves, and now I don't know how Li Shimin will deal with this matter, so it is not appropriate for too many people to know for the time being, and if it is too big, it may not end well in the end.

Of course, from Li Xiu's point of view, the bigger the trouble, the more beneficial it is for him, after all, he is the victim, but it is beneficial to the individual, but it may not be beneficial to the country, especially in the current situation where the situation is unclear, Li Xiu must also be cautious.

Hearing Li Xiu's order, General Song also nodded immediately, but when he saw the wound on Li Xiu's arm, he still showed a little fear, even an important minister like Li Xiu was injured, I'm afraid this matter is definitely not small, don't look at him as just a general guarding the door, but he was also an old man in Tiance Mansion before, and he once followed Li Shimin to launch the Xuanwumen Change, so he is also the most sensitive to this kind of thing.

"By the way, do you know which direction the princess is going?" At this time, I saw Li Xiu smile bitterly and asked again, he must chase Princess Pingyang back now, otherwise if she does something in anger, it will be difficult to clean up.

As soon as he heard Li Xiu ask about Princess Pingyang, General Song immediately showed a wry smile and said, "This last general really doesn't know, just now the princess led her troops into the city gate and entered Suzaku Street, I originally wanted to send someone to chase after her, but the princess led all the cavalry, and my people couldn't catch up at all, and now I don't know which direction the princess's army went?" ”

couldn't inquire about Princess Pingyang's movements, Li Xiu couldn't help but have a big head, after all, Chang'an City is so big, and there are many streets and buildings, if you want to find Princess Pingyang in the city, although it can't be said that you are looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is obviously not enough to rely on the people he brings.
