Chapter 323: Suzaku Street

"Princess, stay behind!" However, as soon as Li Xiu and the others rushed into the palace gate, they suddenly saw a general leading the army blocking their way, only to see that the other party was in his thirties, burly and dignified, and looked much more shrewd than the Xue Wanche just now.

"Get out of the way, time is urgent, I must take the eldest brother and fourth brother's family out of the city!" Princess Pingyang also said angrily at this time, the general who stopped her was named Feng Li, the official worshiped the general of the East Palace Yiwei Che Cavalry, and he was Xue Wanche's top boss, and this Feng Li was not a brave and unscrupulous person, but a rare general, so his status in the East Palace was much higher than Xue Wanche.

"Princess, did King Qin really set up an ambush in Xuanwu Gate and attacked the crown prince and the king of Qi?" Feng Li didn't immediately get out of the way at this time, but asked again with a sad and angry face.

"General Feng, you don't have to doubt this matter, and from the time calculation, I'm afraid the prince's situation is not good, and now time is running out, why don't you leave with us to protect the prince and King Qi's family!" At this time, Qiu Shili stepped forward and said, he and Feng Li had some personal friendship, so he stepped forward to persuade at this time.

"Princess, since the prince is in trouble, the last general, as a subordinate, must go to the rescue in person no matter what, and the family of the prince and the king of Qi will be handed over to you!" Feng Li weighed it again and again, although he couldn't confirm the truth of this matter, he believed that with the relationship between Princess Pingyang and the crown prince, he should not be able to cheat on this kind of thing.

"You don't have to ask me what you want to do!" Princess Pingyang said a little impatiently at this time, and after saying that, she rushed into the East Palace, and Qiu Shili and others immediately followed, but Li Xiu deliberately turned his head to take a look when he entered, only to see Feng Li and Xue Wanche meeting under the city gate, and then the two really gathered their forces to prepare to rescue Li Jiancheng, but I am afraid it will be too late at this time.

Li Xiu accompanied Princess Pingyang to rush into the East Palace, and then immediately sent someone to gather Li Jiancheng's family into a palace, and after a while, I saw a noble lady in her thirties with Li Chengdao and others hurrying over, she was Li Jiancheng's crown princess Zheng, it is said that her name is Zheng Guanyin, born in Xingyang Zheng, that is, one of the five surnames and seven wangs, which is also one of the reasons why Li Jiancheng has the support of major families.

"Third sister, what are you doing here, why did you all let us all come here?" As soon as the Zheng family saw Princess Pingyang, she immediately said with some annoyance, just now the people of the Women's Army rushed into various palaces to let them come, although they were very polite, but they could not refuse, this situation was the first time she had encountered it.

"Sister-in-law! Eldest brother...... Big brother, something may have happened to him! When Princess Pingyang saw Zheng Guanyin, she couldn't help but say with tears in her eyes, her sister-in-law was seven or eight years older than her, and she had already married into the Li family.

"What?" Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but tremble when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, and even almost collapsed to the ground, and Li Chengdao next to him also turned pale when he heard this, and at the same time looked at Li Xiu for help, and Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh at this time, Li Jiancheng died, and the most suffering was probably his family members.

"Princess, now is not the time to talk about this, King Qin's army may be killed at any time, let's quickly withdraw outside the city!" Li Xiu stepped forward again at this time and urged, it is very troublesome to explain the mutiny to a woman like Zheng Guanyin, and now the time is pressing, so it is better to escape from the city first, as for how to arrange these family members to escape from the city, even Li Xiu has not thought about it, but it is better than staying here and waiting for death.

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry about it so much, hurry up and count the number of people, be sure not to leave one behind, wait for the fourth brother's family to come and go with me, and I'll explain to you when I get outside the city!" Princess Pingyang also came to her senses when she heard Li Xiu's words, and immediately regained her previous calm.

"What? Second Brother...... The second brother's army will kill him, will he rebel? Zheng Guanyin is not stupid, when she heard a little wind revealed in Li Xiu's words, she immediately collapsed and exclaimed, if it weren't for Li Chengdao and others around to support her, I'm afraid she would really be paralyzed to the ground.

Regarding Zheng Guanyin's reaction, Princess Pingyang sighed again, but did not explain more, but immediately asked people to prepare the carriage, after all, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have many families, and not everyone can ride a horse, so I am afraid that there will be seven or eight carriages alone.

After a while, Li Yuanji's family was also transferred, Princess Qi's surname was Yang, and Yang Nong belonged to the Hongnong Yang family, and her appearance was quite beautiful, but at this time, she was also frightened, especially when she learned that Li Yuanji might be ambushed, she was even more frightened and paralyzed to the ground, and finally stood up with the help of her subordinates.

At this time, the carriage was also ready, and Princess Pingyang immediately asked Zheng Guanyin and others to board the carriage, but Li Chengdao refused to get into the carriage, but chose to ride a horse in parallel with Li Xiu, and then saw him say with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Sir, did the second uncle really rebel, how are my fathers and them now?" ”

Seeing Li Chengdao's sad appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, and finally said in a low voice: "Chengdao, you have grown up now, no matter what happens to your father, you have to take on the responsibility of a man, protect your mother, and your brothers and sisters, and Mr. I will always stand by your side!" ”

Although Li Xiu did not answer Li Chengdao's words explicitly, in fact, it was pointed out that Li Jiancheng might not be there, and the smart Li Chengdao could naturally hear it, which made his tears gush out at once, but soon he raised his head, wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately, and made a strong expression and said: "What Mr. said is right, I am fifteen years old, and I have reached the age of binding my hair, and I will be a real man in the future, and I will not let anyone hurt my mother and younger brothers and sisters no matter what!" ”

In fact, Li Chengdao is only fourteen years old after the New Year, and the so-called fifteen years old refers to the virtual age, which is also the calculation standard of Datang, but in Li Xiu's eyes, he is actually just a thirteen-year-old child, but now he has to take on the responsibility of protecting his relatives, which makes Li Xiu next to him can't help but have a sour nose, and at the same time twist his head to the side, because he is worried that he will shed tears if he continues like this.

With the order of Princess Pingyang, Qiu Shili and He Panren were divided into two teams, protecting Li Chengdao's family members in the army, and then slowly left the East Palace.

I saw that there were no pedestrians on the originally prosperous Suzaku Street, and a black army had blocked the wide street. In the past, Li Xiu couldn't understand why Suzaku Street was built so wide, nearly two hundred meters, but now he finally understood that Suzaku Street was originally used for the battle between the two armies.

"Please come and answer Princess Pingyang!" I saw that a young general suddenly rushed out of the opposing army and shouted, and this person can be regarded as Li Xiu's old acquaintance, and it is Li Shimin's first confidant, Sun Wuji.

Seeing that there was a large army in front of him, Li Xiu couldn't help but sink in his heart, the other party's army couldn't see the edge at a glance, it was estimated that there were definitely no less than one or two hundred thousand people, several times that of them, even if the women's army was strong, I am afraid it would be difficult to kill it.

However, in contrast, Princess Pingyang seemed very calm, and immediately stepped forward, Li Xiu also followed closely, and then saw Princess Pingyang staring at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked: "Eldest grandson Wuji, where is the second brother, how is he, eldest brother?" ”

Looking at Princess Pingyang's cold expression, the eldest grandson Wuji also sighed secretly, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Princess, King Qin has entered the palace to face the saint, as for the prince, according to the news I have gotten, the prince has been ambushed, and I also ask the princess to see the situation clearly and leave the prince and the family of King Qi behind!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji did not directly participate in the ambush of Li Jiancheng, because he and Li Shimin had already discussed, the two soldiers were divided into two ways, he was mainly responsible for summoning the old generals of Tiance Mansion, and the army under them, these people may have been a little hesitant before, but when they learned that Li Jiancheng was dead, they immediately followed Li Shimin with an iron heart.

This also made the eldest grandson Wuji gather more than 20,000 troops in a short period of time, and then entered Chang'an City, on the one hand, with the help of these forces to control the situation in the city, and there is also an important task, that is, to cut the grass and eradicate the family court of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but it is a pity that he is one step late, Princess Pingyang has already received Li Chengdao and others first, so he ordered the army to block it on Suzaku Street.

Hearing that Li Jiancheng was dead, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but tremble, and a monstrous hatred suddenly broke out, and she wanted to avenge her eldest brother when she reached out and grabbed her horse lance, but Li Xiu, who was riding with him, hurriedly stopped: "Xiuning, you have to be calm, no matter what, you have to think about them for Chengdao!" ”

Princess Pingyang's forces are not superior, and they have to protect Zheng Guanyin's family, if they really fight, even if they can escape, they will definitely not be able to protect Zheng Guanyin and these people, and then they will probably have to die in the chaos.

Li Xiu's words also woke up the angry Princess Pingyang at once, especially when she saw Li Chengdao and others who were still children in the team, she also calmed down all of a sudden, now is by no means the time to be rash, protecting Li Chengdao and them out of the city is the first priority.

Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang finally slowly put down her weapon, took a deep breath at the moment, and then faced the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Eldest grandson Wuji, you let Li Shimin come to see me!" ”

Princess Pingyang has hated Li Shimin so much now that she even changed her title, but the eldest grandson Wuji on the opposite side smiled faintly and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the King of Qin will not come to see you, and you have already committed a serious crime by bringing troops into the city without permission, if you are willing to hand over the prince's family and others, maybe you can also redeem the merits, if you don't pay it, then don't blame you for being rude!"
