Chapter 5: There is nothing that the king does not know
Song Zhong was lucky, although he was pierced through his body by the long sword, it was not a critical place, and the guards who followed Li Yuanji were not ordinary people, so it was not a problem to deal with this kind of injury at all.
All kinds of unknown medicinal powders were sprinkled indiscriminately, and the front and back wounds stopped bleeding in an instant.
Yu Ren once again assumed the role of an all-round nurse, sweating profusely from side to side.
After the injury was controlled, Yu Ren became emboldened, stepped forward and kicked Xue Shi viciously like a dead pig a few times, dressed in a big mouth, and said: "Let you assassinate!" Let you assassinate! I'm scared to death of my father-in-law, no, it's scared to death Your Highness, it's not right, you damn it......"
Yu Ren's crazy revenge, in Li Yuanji's expectation, this is what he is best at, Li Yuanji lazily took care of the goods, and said bluntly: "Summoning Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, Duan Zhixuan into the account." ”
Perhaps for this era, he is just a passerby after all, a passerby who can only survive for one day.
Xue Shi's assassination made Li Yuanji completely see the insidious nature of this world, and blindly retreating could not bring good luck to himself.
Why did Xue Shi assassinate him?
It's nothing more than because of his own choice, he may be able to protect himself, but he can't protect Xue Shi.
For this guy who has little ability, but his ability to make trouble is not weak, Li Shimin has no reason to continue to keep him.
And the only fantasy that Xue Shi has is that after Li Yuanji ascends to the throne, he can use this identity to become an important minister of the government and the opposition.
But if it is as Xue Shi meant, it can only be Li Yuanji who dies.
"The last general will see His Highness!"
Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Duan Zhixuan entered the handsome tent with fear.
The crown prince died, and they had already received the news of King Qin's success, and they were hesitating whether to do it, but they received a summons from King Qi.
Helplessly, the three of them had to wear armor and swords around their waists and walk into the tent, and at the same time ordered their subordinates to stand by, but if there was an abnormality, they immediately attacked the tent.
The three of them have even done a good job of dividing the labor, Qin Qiong is mainly attacking King Qi, and the other two are responsible for blocking the sword and axe hands.
But before it was recorded, it was taken away by King Qi's guards, if it weren't for seeing Song Zhong lying there dying, and Xue Shi, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the three of them would not have handed over the sword at all.
"Return the sword to the three of them!" Li Yuanji sat on the main seat, the horse lance in his hand stood at his side, and said with an arrogant expression.
The three of them were instantly confused in their hearts, secretly shouting that the big thing was not good.
With Xue Shi's assassination, Li Yuanji naturally will no longer hand over his fate to others, even if he knows the result, he has to fight.
Beside him was the silver-white lance, within reach, and if the three of them dared to make any move, he would definitely leave at least one of them behind.
The off-the-books guards brought in the three swords, but the three of them didn't dare to take them directly, the situation was obviously too weird.
"I don't know what Your Highness means?" Qin Qiong stepped forward first.
'Ahem cough ......' Xue Shi, who was lying on the ground, woke up just right, coughed violently, didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a low tone: "The king of Qi means rebellion, and the last general is afraid to persuade him, but the king of Qi has decided to rebel, and the last general will not obey, and the king of Qi wants to kill him, and the last general is really helpless, so he has to take the lead and want to stop this turmoil, but unfortunately the last general is not as skilled as the king of Qi and failed to succeed, the three generals are careful, don't be deceived by the king of Qi." ”
"Hehe, have you finally revealed your details?" The corners of Li Yuanji's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile, lifted the horse lance from the weapon rack with one hand, slammed it on the ground, and said: "Since you have bought off the henchmen of this king, and asked him to persuade this king to rebel, if it fails, he will be assassinated instead.
School competition, life and death are up to the sky, since you don't want to let this king live, then fight! ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yuanji mentioned the horse lance, and the lance pointed directly at the three of them, and a strong killing intent swept over, the cold was pressing, and the temperature in the entire big tent dropped a lot in an instant.
"This ......" Qin Qiong was stunned suddenly, who doesn't know that Xue Shi is the biggest rebel root? There's no need to buy Xue Shi at all.
Looking up at Li Yuanji, in the face of Xue Shi's testimony, Li Yuanji disdained to explain, but instead proposed to invite the battle, regardless of life or death, each with a destiny.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, how dare the last general not want to see your Highness alive? There must be a misunderstanding in this. Qin Qiong was frightened and hurriedly apologized and pleaded guilty, regardless of the process and result, just in the current situation, they would never dare to move.
Who to believe? Don't believe whom? It was a dilemma, but no matter who believed it, it was not the outcome they wanted.
"Nonsense, it is clear that your traitor strongly recommended His Highness to rebel, His Highness can't bear to kill each other, he never thought that you, a traitor, would turn against him and move the heart of assassination, if it wasn't for the old slave who blocked this sword for His Highness, it would really have made you a traitor." Song Zhong, who was pale, stood up with his body bold, picked up the long sword of Xue Shi before, leaned in front of Li Yuanji, and shouted angrily: "Unless Song dies today, no one will want to hurt a single hair of His Royal Highness King Qi." ”
"Hmph, the tent is full of people like you, Rao is that I have thousands of mouths, and I can't explain it clearly. The three generals Mingjian, who had already taken refuge in the King of Qin, had already taken refuge in the King of Qin, but the King of Qi was not dead, and the King of Qi could not bear to damage His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so they continued to stay by the side of the King of Qi to wait for a counterattack at the critical moment. Xue Shi didn't resist hard, since Li Yuanji gave him an excuse, then follow this excuse and make it up, at least he can live.
"Hmph, dare to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Qi, come here, take Xue Shi down and take strict care, and report to the emperor for disposal in the future." Qin Qiong was still thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing, but Cheng Biting Jin, who seemed to have the most rough personality, took the lead and defined the matter in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that outside the tent are all soldiers and horses of King Qi, without the order of King Qi, a team of soldiers came in outside, and no one moved Xue Shi who was lying on the ground.
"Hold on!" Li Yuanji waved his hand.
The team of soldiers pressed Xue Shi down like a dead dog.
"Your conspiracy will not succeed, Rao me Xue Shi died today, and there will be thousands of Xue Shi who will stand up to stop you in the future......" Xue Shi roared frantically, trying to create the last trace of momentum for himself.
But this kind of momentum can't affect too many people, at least these inside the tent, those Qi King guards outside the tent, he can't influence.
Out of the big tent of the Chinese army, several guards were beating Xue Shi for a while, and in an instant, Xue Shi could no longer speak, and the whole person was dying, and it was impossible for Rao to pretend to be dead.
"The ministers are late for escort, please forgive your highness!" Cheng Yanjin was still one step ahead, arching his fists with both hands, and kneeling on one knee to plead guilty.
Regardless of whether Xue Shi has the heart to join King Qin or not, Xue Shi must die today, otherwise the country will be unstable.
Once King Qin accepts Xue Shi, no matter how they defend themselves in the future, this basin will definitely be detained on their heads.
King Qi has objections, everyone knows that it was Xue Shi who instigated it, but now that you have accepted Xue Shi, don't you tell the world that it was actually King Qin who arranged for Xue Shi to lurk beside King Qi?
Qin Qiong and Duan Zhixuan also instantly understood what Cheng Biting Jin meant, and they also knelt on one knee after him.
This result was not what they wanted, but now, they missed the opportunity to kill Li Yuanji, not only could they not kill, but they could not make Li Yuanji have any mistakes.
"Someone close to you wants to assassinate this king, how can you and these outsiders stop it?" Li Yuanji responded lightly, unusually, as if nothing had happened just now: "Yiguo Gong, can you be fully prepared for the opening of the army?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, all arrangements are in place." Qin Qiong was puzzled, nervous emotions enveloped his whole body, today's Li Yuanji made him feel a strong sense of strangeness, as if he had never seen it before.
"This king led a hundred guards to sit in the Chinese army, and you are responsible for the rest of the affairs, go ahead, and start in an hour."
"No!"
Qin Qiong and the three of them slowly retreated, wondering in their hearts, King Qi summoned the three of them, and they had already put on a life-and-death posture, but wouldn't King Qi's later actions be inconsistent?
This is absolutely impossible, isn't it that Xue Shi spared his life and cooperated with Li Yuanji to come up with such a bitter plan to protect King Qi?
Looking at the retreating figures of the three of them, Li Yuanji also felt helpless.
He was ready to fight to the death, but it was just a helpless move, and the best way was to temporarily suppress the three of them.
The run-in between the soul and this body, the tacit understanding always feels that there are some problems, and Li Yuanji has always felt that Cheng Biting Jin, who owes his IQ, has shown his great wisdom, and it is Cheng Biting Jin's words that make Li Yuanji not have to fight to the death with them.
Xue Shi's backbite made Li Yuanji decide to play a 'bitter meat trick' for Li Shimin to see, and also test Qin Qiong and them, and the result was naturally not bad.
"Your Highness, that Xue Shi is really hateful, His Royal Highness treats him very kindly on weekdays, and he dares to assassinate him, and the wicked person sues first, the old slave really wants to kill him with a sword." The pale old face has recovered slightly, but this sword has not taken a month, and it basically doesn't want to heal.
"Yes, His Royal Highness must dismantle Xue Shi into eight pieces, Ling Chi will be executed, and the clan must be exterminated, and the clan must be exterminated." Yu Ren followed the chicken and pecked at the rice, the scene just now almost scared him to death, and he must take revenge fiercely.
"Do you know why this king didn't just get angry and kill Xue Shi?" For this dog leg who saved his life, Li Yuanji is still very grateful in his heart.
As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth, just because Song Zhong can block that sword for himself at a critical moment, and he can say such things in front of him, this is a trustworthy guy.
Li Yuanji has regarded Song Zhong as his confidant, and he is willing to say these things to him.
As for Yu Ren, this timid as a mouse, Li Yuanji really can't lift his spirits, but it's not time to abandon it, at least when the wind is down, this goods are quite easy to use.
Song Zhong shook his head, Li Yuanji's previous reaction was indeed abnormal in the past, but with Li Yuanji's character, it was not surprising to make any moves.
"Because of his words, no one will believe him at all." Li Yuanji said, at this moment, the reason for the whole thing clearly appeared in his mind.
"I am afraid that everyone in the world will believe that this king has objections. said that Xue Shi had objections, at least the people around the second brother would believe it. But if it is said that this king has objections, and Xue Shi would rather die than give in, then no one will believe it. ”
"This king and the crown prince have been fighting with the second brother for so many years, and there are countless open and secret tricks, who has any ideas, how can the other party not know? It's like this king knows that Chang He has been secretly bought by the second brother a long time ago, and it is Chang He who opened the palace door for the second brother today. ”
"Not only that, but this king even knows that the second brother has already bought Wang Hui of the East Palace, and the conspiracy between this king and the crown prince was also passed on to the second brother by Wang Hui."
"This king knows all these things, with the means of the second brother, will he not know what kind of character Xue Shi is?"
"What...... What the? Song Zhong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, the whole person sat up from the ground in an instant, the wound that had just healed was torn again, the blood was faintly oozing out, and he grinned in pain, "Your Highness, you already know this?" Then why didn't you tell the prince earlier? If the prince had known the news earlier, I am afraid it would be unknown who would have killed the deer now. And yesterday's ......"
"Yes, this king has known for a long time, and the break of Ma Sifang's leg yesterday was also to warn Chang He, and to give the prince a reminder by the way, but now it seems that all this is superfluous." Li Yuanji felt helpless, his actions did not change the general direction of history after all, but for himself, this result may be good or bad.
"Now that His Highness knows about it, why didn't he run before? Why put yourself in danger? Yu Ren was also puzzled, it stands to reason that this situation should be run.
"Run? What else would you do but run? "Li Yuanji was disappointed in Yu Ren for the first time, but it was not despair, Yu Ren had Yu Ren's advantages, but it could not be reflected at this moment.
As for Song Zhong......
"Regardless of the final outcome, this king will keep you safe. If something happens to this king, you will go to the king's grave in the future to burn some paper money, so that this king can be a rich ghost. ”
