Chapter 291: Assassination of Long Street
Li Shimin asked Pei Lin and the others to go back first, and he wanted to personally send Cheng Zhijie back to the museum. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info walked halfway, and seeing that there were no more idlers around, Li Shimin said: "Fifth brother, the younger brother has prepared a little water and wine for the fifth brother, please be sure to enjoy the light." ”
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Okay, I don't dare to refuse the invitation of the people, let's go!" Saying that, the two of them went to the Qin State Mansion, and when they arrived, they found that Chai Shao, Li Yuanba and others were there.
"Haha, everyone is here, this is great, I have endured it for more than ten days; Now that the injury is finally healed, let's not get drunk today! ”
"Good! The crowd agreed. ”
The eldest grandson Wujian was a little unhappy and said, "Fifth brother, I have something to ask you for?" You can't get drunk! ”
Cheng Zhijie was stunned and said: "My brother and sister are extremely smart and clever people, what do you want to ask me about this big boss?" This is really a blessing for my three lives. ”
Li Shimin said: "Fifth brother, Guanyin is now in charge of the affairs of the Inner Mansion, but the matter is too complicated, and the calculation records are very troublesome, which is quite a waste of energy. I remember that the fifth brother's subordinates had a new method of calculation and recording; I mentioned it to Guanyin; She has always kept it in her heart. ”
Cheng Zhijie suddenly realized "oh", he gave a thumbs up to the eldest grandson Wujian and said: "Brother and sister are really amazing, amazing!" However, this method of bookkeeping is not something that can be explained in a few words, so be it! I'll teach you some simple calculations first, and when I get back, I'll have someone bring you some textbooks. ”
Li Shimin said: "Fifth brother, I want to arrange some personnel exchanges in this meeting. I'll send some people to study with you, can you send a few teachers to teach with me? ”
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "You two husbands and wives will be very shrewd when they come, and they will know what is the true treasure of my Great Demon Kingdom." Good! I agree, but you have to be prepared for the fact that these things of mine may not be accepted by your people. ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "I have been prepared for this, I only plan to test it on a small scale, and I don't want to promote it now." ”
"So good? Let's settle down, let's get seated! I can't wait. ”
Everyone laughed and was about to walk into the house, and the eldest grandson said: "No, as soon as you people drink wine, you can still control it, the fifth brother should teach me some arithmetic first." ”
Cheng Zhijie smiled bitterly: "Okay! All right! You have to pay for a meal at your house. Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Li Shimin said with a smile: "Fifth brother, we also want to learn when we have nothing to do, please don't hesitate to teach." ”
Cheng Zhijie smiled: "Okay, come on!" To tell the truth, this is a layer of window paper, which can be broken at a point. If you want to learn the arithmetic of our Great Demon Kingdom, you must first master these numbers: 1, 2, 3......"
Cheng Zhijie explained to them the meaning of these numbers, and then roughly talked about addition and subtraction and multiplication and division operations; I wrote them a multiplication table and handed it to the eldest grandson.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the basic calculations, let's learn these first, and it is enough for all of you to use. How about waiting for our teachers to come and teach them the rest of the advanced arithmetic knowledge? ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, these things are enough for us to digest for a while, and now it's not early, so let's not get drunk and don't return." The crowd entered the hall in an uproar.
They pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the meal only ate until late at night, and everyone was a little drunk; Seeing that it was not early, Cheng Zhijie said goodbye to everyone. Li Shimin sent them to the door, and then Chai Shao led people to send them back to the pavilion.
Cheng Zhijie rode on the cover of smoke clouds, and was blown by the cold night wind, and his alcohol strength was a little attacked; My head is dizzy.
At this moment, he felt a chill rise up his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Not good! There are assassins! Cheng Zhijie exclaimed, turned over and rolled down to the dust. Airplanes! A black light flashed, and a feather arrow instantly filled his position just now.
His mount turned into a hedgehog with a roar of smoke and clouds, but fortunately this war horse escaped his life. When the assassins saw that they had missed the shot, they wanted to do it again, but Chai Shao's soldiers had already surrounded them.
Thousands of miles of smoke and clouds covered him with his conquest of the desert, and he made great achievements for thousands of miles, and saw it die tragically; Cheng Zhiqi's anger was furious, he screamed violently, and the wine in his body was also discharged with sweat.
"Kill!" Lao Cheng snatched a shield from the guard's hand, and jumped up with the waist knife. As soon as the enemy saw that the assassination had failed, he hurriedly whistled and turned around and ran.
Cheng Zhijie was in hot pursuit, and Chai Shao was also taken aback and chased after him. Seeing that they were about to catch up, the Assassins used the method of throwing away their pawns to protect their commanders, dividing a few to resist, and the rest quickly disappeared into the night.
Lao Cheng rushed up and found that these people were all means of the rivers and lakes, and they were not afraid of death, and they were quite difficult to deal with under the step; He couldn't rush over for a while. When Chai Shao led people to rush up and surround them, these people gritted their teeth and shouted: "Long live King Tang!" Then the seven orifices bled to death.
Chai Shao's face sank like the bottom of a black pot, and he hurriedly said to Cheng Zhijie: "Fifth brother, this is definitely not done by King Tang, please believe it." ”
Cheng Zhijie sneered: "Such a clumsy discordant plan can't fool me." But Chai Shao, that's a real outrigger, you have to check it carefully. ”
The sweat on Chai Shao's head flowed down and said: "I understand, I will send the fifth brother back first, and then I will deal with it with the Tang King, and I must give the fifth brother justice." ”
said that Chai Shao asked people to guard the scene, and quickly went to report to Li Shimin, the Duke of Qin, and he protected Cheng Zhijie and returned to the pavilion.
Li Shimin was completing the homework assigned by Cheng Zhijie with his eldest grandson Wujian, when he suddenly heard a report that Cheng Zhijie was assassinated on the street. "Smack!" The couple's brush fell on the table.
Later, when I heard that Cheng Zhijie was fine, he had been protected by Chai Shao and returned to the pavilion, and the two of them let out a long breath. Li Shimin's face sank like water, he asked his eldest grandson Wujian to go back to rest, and he took people to the scene of the assassination.
The place is now brightly lit, and it has long been isolated by the army, and the surrounding residents have been surrounded and interrogated one by one.
Li Shimin looked at the cloud of smoke that was shot like a hedgehog, and he was afraid for a while. He knows very well the horror of the Great Demon Kingdom's army, and if Cheng Zhijie is stabbed to death, who knows what will happen next.
Li Shimin until the situation was serious, he took a few feather arrows and hurried to see Li Yuan, the king of Tang. Li Yuan had already rested, but heard that Cheng Zhijie was assassinated in Chang'an City; The rage was thunderous.
Although Cheng Zhijie escaped with his fate, but this is Chang'an? What if someone were going to assassinate themselves? Can you be so lucky?
Li Yuan summoned all the civil and military forces under his command, and made a burst of thunder, and then ordered Qin Guogong and Jingzhao Yin Li Shimin Quan to take charge of this matter, and they must be sent to the bottom of the matter; No matter who is involved, it will not be tolerated.
As soon as his words came out, it really made Yang Yu's subordinates nervous, and Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he was ordered to investigate.
The next day, although there was little change on the surface of Chang'an City, there was a storm inside, and the first thing Li Shimin checked was the big inns to look for suspicious characters.
Li Shimin also took people to the pavilion early in the morning to visit Cheng Zhijie. Cheng Zhijie picked up the crossbow arrows he brought and looked at them carefully: "This is the first batch of crossbow arrows from the Great Demon Kingdom. Later, the outstretched bow and crossbow arrows were improved, which were more slender and elongated, and the arrows were all three-edged. Haha, our enemy doesn't understand the secret of the crossbow arrow at all, and he wants to use this to blame Li Tang but he shows his fox tail. ”
Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, as long as I have their details, I will arrange people to search and demolish door-to-door, recommend strangers, and I will definitely be able to find them." ”
As the two were talking, there was a sudden chaos in the courtyard, and then the sound of swords and soldiers clashing. Cheng Zhijie and Li Shimin were shocked, and hurriedly came outside the house, and saw that Liang Shitai and a young general had already started to move.
"Stop, Shitai, what are you going to do?" Cheng Zhijie roared, and Liang Shitai roared: "These guys dare to assassinate the Demon King, they all deserve to die!" Kill! He shouted, smashing the general's broadsword with one blow and smashing his head with another.
At this moment, the faces of the people around him changed, and Liang Shitai urged the horse to rush into the Tang army's ranks, and the hammer became smashed; Those Tang troops were his opponents, and several people were killed at once, and the rest scattered in a hurry.
Li Yuanba couldn't do it, so he urged the horse to block Liang Shitai and said: "You, you big black man, you dare to kill me, my subordinates; Let's hammer it! "As he spoke, he struck with a hammer.
Liang Shitai didn't want to let him return the fight, he was Li Yuanba's opponent in those two moments, and within a few rounds, he was smashed by Li Yuanba and lost the double hammer in his hand, thanks to Li Shimin's stop, Li Yuanba did not kill him, but kicked and captured alive under the horse.
Cheng Zhijie's face sank, and he said to Li Shimin very unhappily: "Qin Guogong, let your people release Liang Shitai!" ”
Li Shimin was also very unhappy and said: "Demon King, this Liang Shitai killed my father's love general Dugu Yanyun, and I can't help it; He can only be arrested and handed over to his father to dispose of. ”
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Qin Guogong, you don't know Liang Shitai's status in our Great Demon Kingdom. He has followed me since the time when Liangshan was not yet established; It is the patriarch of our Great Demon Kingdom. As long as I am here, no one will be able to hurt him, and I hope that Qin Guogong will give me this face. ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "That's the Demon King doesn't know the relationship between Dugu Yanyun and our family, his father Dugu Kai is a world friend of my father." When Dugu Kai was dying, he entrusted his son to my father's care, and today Dugu Yanyun did not die on the battlefield, but was innocently killed. ”
