Chapter 4: The King Is Unwilling

"The prince is dead?"

For a whole night, Li Yuanji tossed and turned, insomnia all night, what he was most afraid of was that Qin Qiong and others would break into the Chinese military camp tent at night, Li Yuanji's mood collapsed several times, waiting, far more torturous than that moment came.

If the prince is dead, isn't he not far away?

The haze of death hanging over Li Yuanji's head is a little thicker, no one will have any fear of this emotion, even Li Yuanji, who has died once, is the same.

Originally, Li Yuanji felt that he could look down on this matter, but now it seems that he still overestimated himself.

"Your Highness, the crown prince is dead, and the king of Qin will definitely attack His Highness next, we should make plans as soon as possible!" Song Zhong said worriedly.

Now he is really afraid, Li Shimin even dares to kill the prince, doesn't he dare to kill the king of Qi?

"Your Highness, why don't we run?" Yu Ren was once again frightened by the proposal.

"Your Highness, I am willing to return to Chang'an and escort the princess and the princes to Bingzhou." Xue Shi also hurriedly said.

One glory and one loss, King Qi fell, there was no good result for their henchmen, and looking at King Qi was not in a hurry at all, then the most anxious was naturally their subordinates.

Especially Xue Shi, King Qi's ambition was largely because of Xue Shi's instigation.

Now Li Yuanji has never had the idea of rebellion, and he can be a prosperous prince in peace, so why do he have to go to the roommate who broke his heart?

Xue Shi was anxious, such a King of Qi was not what he wanted to see, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness has long predicted this matter, the death of the prince, the military and the people of the world will think that the king of Qin killed the prince, at this time, if you ascend to the heights, the army and the people of the world will rise up to help you crusade against the king of Qin who killed his brother and seized the throne, if it is successful, His Royal Highness should be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is a failure, His Royal Highness can also sit on the state, and other states that take refuge with you and establish themselves as emperors, and the power may not be smaller than that of the king of Qin." ”

"Hey, when is the time for retribution? Cannibalism, is it really going to be like this? Li Yuanji sighed helplessly.

Resistance is undoubtedly the best result, no matter what the final result is, at least he can occupy the state in a short period of time, after all, at this time, he still has the official position of the governor of the state, and the state is also the nest of Li Yuan's army.

The state is mountainous and strategically located, and the siege of tens of thousands of troops can be easily blocked by placing thousands of soldiers at various passes.

But so what? Whether it is Li Yuanji before the crossing or himself after the crossing, he is not the type who is good at planning.

But then again, will Li Er give him this chance?

The soldiers under his command were really not bought by King Qin?

Li Yuanji didn't dare to move, and if he moved, it meant that Qin Qiong was given the opportunity to make a move, so since he entered the barracks yesterday, Li Yuanji didn't even summon the prince and his generals to discuss the matter.

Xue Shi was Li Yuanji's confidant, and when he saw that Li Yuanji hadn't been summoned for a long time, he ran over by himself.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not a retribution, but the situation is pressing, the King of Qin has already taken the lead, if you don't do it again, you will end up with the same fate as the prince, and it is difficult to protect yourself, what is the great cause?" Xue Shi still didn't give up, but he was also disappointed in Li Yuanji.

Where did the hot-blooded Li Yuanji go in the past? Why did you show a cowardly posture when things came to an end?

"What's wrong with this king? Why did the second brother kill this king again? Li Yuanji glanced at Xue Shi.

In one night, Li Yuanji thought a lot.

As long as he can find a way to return to Chang'an safely, he can basically save this little life.

Li Yuan is still there, and he has not resisted, as long as he misses this time, Li Shimin will have no chance to kill himself, Li Shimin has a deep sense of guilt for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in history, which is why Li Yuanji decided to gamble.

In addition to gambling, Li Yuanji has no other way, all parties do not have an advantage, what to oppose?

But Li Yuanji will never put the eggs in the same frame, Xue Shi is unreliable, and the only thing he can rely on now is the one hundred and ten guards, and the soldiers in the army who are still loyal to him.

"Your Highness, you should have heard of the allusion to the guilt of the guilty, right?" Xue Shi still refuses to give up, giving up means that he is dead, a matter of life, how can he face it as calmly as Li Yuanji?

"Enough! Xue Shi, this king treats you well, why do you repeatedly provoke the feelings of this king's brothers? Li Yuanji took advantage of the situation to be furious and pointed at Xue Shi.

"It's not what the last general wants, but I have to persuade you, Your Highness, are you still unwilling to save yourself after all?" Xue Shi burst into tears in an instant, took two steps forward, and fell to his knees.

"This king is saving himself." Li Yuanji said secretly hatefully, how can he play this stinky game of chess? He can understand Xue Shi, but he won't take his life to accompany Xue Shi crazy, he can't do it.

"Since you're already saving yourself, there's no reason why you shouldn't." Xue Shi's tone was slightly decadent, but with a hint of determination.

"What do you want to do?" Li Yuanji was shocked, and his body instinctively raised his vigilance.

But it was not Xue Shi's mouth that responded to Li Yuanji, but the long sword in Xue Shi's hand.

It is not popular in the army to bow down, and Xue Shi, who knelt on the ground, took the opportunity to take two steps forward, quietly narrowing the distance between him and Li Yuanji, so far, Xue Shi is ready for the final blow.

But he threw Li Yuanji one last chance, but unfortunately Li Yuanji's answer still failed to make him wish.

Fall on your knees, bow your head, and clench your hands into fists.

For the marcher, it only takes less than a second to turn this set of actions into offense.

Xue Shi, whose muscles were tense, instantly held his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and the sword body and the scabbard made a crisp friction sound.

With the advantage of kneeling on the ground, Xue Shi kicked the ground with his legs violently, turning his whole person into an arrow off the string, and when his body was in the air, the long sword in his right hand was just in place, and the whole action was completed in one go, and it only took less than three seconds before and after.

Such a close distance, coupled with the fact that Xue Shi had made enough preparations before, confused Li Yuanji even more, as long as Li Yuanji was slightly distracted, he would be stabbed by him on the spot.

Li Yuanji subconsciously manipulated his body to roll to the side, but his consciousness told him that even if he made a move, he couldn't dodge this sword, and at most he could only dodge the vital point.

If it is a serious competition, Rao is to let him have one hand, and Xue Shi is by no means his opponent.

The long sword in Xue Shi's hand was about to pierce Li Yuanji's right shoulder, once he was stabbed, Li Yuanji's combat power would be sharply reduced, Rao is guards outside the account entered, and Xue Shi also had enough time to kill himself.

Is it just planted? This king is not willing to ......'

'Whew! ’

A black shadow swept in front of him, the long sword entered the body, and the sound of the body being cut and pierced came immediately.

At a critical moment, the dog-legged Song Zhong put his body in front of Li Yuanji, and used his body to block this potentially fatal sword for Li Yuanji.

"Ah......" Yu Ren's shout instantly resounded throughout the Chinese army's big tent.

"Song Zhong ......" looked at the dog-legged Song Zhong blocking the sword for himself, and then looked at Yu Ren who was hiding on the side and trembling, compared with the two, Li Yuanji was really moved this time.

Xue Shi threw his entire body out, the force was not insignificant, the long sword was extremely sharp, directly piercing Song Zhong's entire body, a large section of the long sword was directly exposed behind his back, and the bright red blood fell to the ground dripping.

Song Zhong held the long sword that pierced into his body with both hands, preventing Xue Shi from pulling out the sword, and gasped with the last trace of strength: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the slave maid will not be able to continue to serve you!" ”

Yu Ren's shout had already alarmed the guards outside the account, and even made more than a dozen guards quickly draw their swords and enter the account, and at a glance, it was Xue Yong's sword that pierced Song Zhong's body, and Song Zhong had been pierced through the body by the long sword, but his hands were still firmly holding the long sword.

A group of guards were about to come forward to rescue the driver, but Li Yuanji, who was temporarily out of the crisis, was furious.

Supporting the ground with one hand, he pushed hard, forcibly balanced the overturned body, and raised his leg to kick Xue Shi's crotch hard.

Although Xue Shi is a martial artist, he is not high or low, and his own martial arts and strength are far inferior to Li Yuanji.

With one blow, the hilt of the sword that Xue Shi held firmly drove the long sword in Song Zhong's body, and pulled out some of it.

Xue Shi was in pain instantly, and endured the pain caused by the shattering of the balls, and the whole person flew out with a haggard face, but the long sword in his hand pulled him, and then slammed it on the ground.

The angle changed, and Song Zhong's wound became a little more serious.

After falling to the ground, Xue Shi no longer had the same resoluteness as before.

Dandan's sorrow is the most unbearable pain for a man, and he couldn't let go of it at the first time, which was only subconscious.

But when that kind of pain hit his whole body, Xue Shi couldn't bear it anymore, and curled up all over, covering his lower body with his hands unconsciously, and blood instantly stained his hands.

Li Yuanji continued to kick Xue Shi in the chest.

'Poof......'

Hit hard again, Xue Shi spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person almost passed out.

Xue Shi, who was attacked, flew out completely upside down with his whole body, until he hit the desk, and even retreated a few meters away from the desk, then stopped, and the whole person was even more painful and overwhelmed, wanting to cover the top, but it hurt very much below, secretly hating himself for why didn't he have a few more hands?

didn't let Xue Shi wait more, in the blink of an eye, the severe pain up and down his body made his eyes black and unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yuanji finally stopped, looked at the blood all over the ground, and the pale Song Zhong, couldn't help but regret a little, and shouted to the guard: "Go and save Song Zhong......"

"Your Highness, Song Zhong is fine, the slave is watching here......"

Li Yuanji looked back, and he couldn't wait to step forward and give this guy a few more kicks.

Yu Ren, who was still hiding in the corner and shivering before, was now squatting beside Song Zhong, holding his hands one after the other, covering the gap between the wound and the long sword to reduce the flow of blood.
