Chapter 186: Sword Slashing Traitors
Lai Xing'er benefited from the fact that the Tubo sergeant did not expect that he did not directly help Xin Twelve Niang to assassinate Na Simo, but turned around and entered the Xuanzheng Palace, and when he broke into the hall, he unexpectedly found that there were no Tubo generals in the palace, only two Han Chinese.

When Xin Shi Niang assassinated Na Simo, Tang Kuan in the hall heard that the movement outside the hall was wrong, and was about to step out of the hall to see what was going on, but suddenly heard the thunderous sound of the Dengwen Tower on the drum tower of Daming Palace, and then heard someone shouting, "The official army is attacking Chang'an." His heart trembled suddenly, and when he was feeling flustered, he only heard Li Chenghong's frightened voice behind him: "Aiqing escort, Aiqing, don't leave me here alone." ”
No matter what Li Chenghong said, he was also the monarch he respected three times and nine times, and he couldn't stand his bitter pleas for himself, Tang Kuan hesitated and stopped. He turned around and saw a sword on the handsome case set up for Nasimo on one side of the hall, and hurriedly walked over to take the sword in his hand, and then comforted Li Chenghong and said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, this must be the palace spies beating drums and making trouble, how could the officials and soldiers attack Chang'an so quickly?" There are ministers by your Majesty's side, Your Majesty but relax. ”
Who knew that as soon as he was halfway through his words, Lai Xing'er broke in.
Tang Kuan vigilantly raised the sword and the scabbard above his head with both hands, and shouted at Xing'er: "Bold thief, Hugh is messing around, and eat my sword." He shouted like this, but he raised his sword with both hands, but he didn't dare to cut it down.
The light in the Xuanzheng Hall is still darker than outside the hall, Lai Xing'er just ran in from outside the hall, and for a while he only saw two people in Han costumes in the hall, and it was difficult to distinguish their appearance, and it was only when he heard Tang Kuan shouting at himself that he suddenly recognized Tang Kuan's voice.
"It turned out to be Lord Tang, is this the court you serve?" Lai Xing'er couldn't help but say, took a few steps, snatched the sword from Tang Kuan's hand, drew the sword in his hand, and pointed at Tang Kuan with the blade of the sword and asked.
Tang Kuan immediately recognized Lai Xing'er. Now, he knew that he couldn't deny it, so he ordered a Tubo sergeant who rushed into the palace behind Lai Xing'er: "This person is a spy sent by the imperial court in the palace, kill him quickly." ”
Lai Xing'er has been in charge of the Yanying Hall for a few months, and he knows that the various halls of the Daming Palace have side doors, and at this moment he saw that he was blocked in the hall by dozens of Tubo soldiers with sharp blades, so he had the idea of getting out from the side door.
He jumped behind Tang Kuan, put his sword on Tang Kuan's neck, and said coldly to Tang Kuan: "Lord Tang, since you are an official of the Tubo people, please ask them to retreat outside the palace." ”
Tang Kuandan's neck was approached by a burst of cold air, how could he still take care of the slightest decency, and begged Lai Xing'er with a crying voice: "Little brother, God can testify for me, where will they listen to me." I respect the emperor sitting behind you, who is a member of the royal family. ”
Seeing that the Tubo sergeant did not care about Tang Kuan's life or death, Lai Xing'er raised his sword and forced him step by step, and he was anxious, waved a sword, cut Tang Kuan to the ground, jumped to Li Chenghong's side, pressed him tightly with his sword, and shouted at the Tubo soldiers in the hall: "You can not want someone's life in Tang, you won't want his life." If you know each other, let me retreat outside the temple, otherwise I will go to Huangquan with him. As he spoke, his wrist strained slightly, and a blood mark oozed from Li Chenghong's neck.
The Tibetan soldiers were really shocked by his hand. Tang Kuan, as a subordinate, his life and death of the Tubo soldiers can certainly be ignored, but Li Chenghong is a puppet emperor who was erected by Nasimo himself, if Lai Xing'er kills Tang Kuan like Fang Cai, they are afraid that it will be difficult to explain in front of Nasimo. Therefore, when they saw that Lai Xing'er had held Li Chenghong hostage and brazenly claimed that he would not hesitate to die with Li Chenghong, the Tibetan soldiers began to hesitate.
At this time, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing from a distance outside the palace, and Lai Xing'er heard it clearly, and countless voices were repeating the same sentence: "The official army is attacking the city." ”
Could it really be that the official army has invaded Chang'an? Lai Xing'er was both happy and suspicious. He had already guessed from the hesitant actions of the Tubo soldiers that the person who was being held hostage by himself was far more important than Tang Kuan in the minds of the Tubo people, so he scolded Li Chenghong to stand up and forced him to move step by step in the direction of the side door with his sword.
Seeing that Lai Xing'er forced Li Chenghong with his sword and approached the side door of the Xuanzheng Palace, suddenly, two Tubo soldiers rushed in from outside the side door, taking advantage of Lai Xing'er's unpreparedness, one sword knocked away the sword in Lai Xing'er's hand, and the other raised a kick, and Xing'er kicked out two feet away, and fell to the ground. The Tubo soldiers in the Xuanzheng Hall saw that their own people had succeeded in a sneak attack on Lai Xing'er, and they rushed up, and someone hurriedly pulled Li Chenghong behind them and protected him, and the rest of the hands raised their swords and pounced on Lai Xing'er who fell to the ground, trying to take advantage of his failure to get up, resulting in his life.
Lai Xing'er was attacked by the Tubo sergeant who was ambushed at the side gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, kicked to the ground, knowing that it was difficult for him to save his life this time, so he closed his eyes and waited for the Tubo people to come forward and split his body. But after waiting for a while, he was unharmed, but he heard the miserable howls of the Tubo soldiers in the hall, and he opened his eyes in surprise to see the scene that was happening in front of him, which made him feel overjoyed.
Jiang Zhongshi arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall in time.
For Jiang Zhongshi, it was quite easy for one person to deal with dozens of Tubo soldiers in the Xuanzheng Palace. But seeing that he grabbed and threw it casually, the Tubo sergeant who was unfortunately caught by him flew out of the hall far away like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily under the porch in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, unable to get up. In this way, it was concocted in this way, and after a while, the hall was already empty, leaving only Li Chenghong, who was curled up on the ground like chaff.
"Little rock, who made you run down without permission? It's going to be a big deal for you. Although he knew that Jiang Zhongshi had saved him, when he thought that the drums could not be stopped for no reason, Lai Xing'er still sank his face and said angrily at Jiang Zhongshi.
"Don't worry, big brother, nothing will hurt." Jiangzhong Shi took Li Chenghong in his hand like an eagle catching a chicken, weighed the weight, and put him back on the ground disdainfully, and replied nonchalantly, "I only thought about coming down to help you when I saw a large number of officers and soldiers coming into the city in the direction of Anyuanmen." At this time, it is estimated that the Tubo people in the city are busy fleeing for their lives out of the city. (To be continued.) )
