Chapter 709 Entering the Palace
Seeing that this backyard was in a mess, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were both iron-faced, especially the deaths of Feng Li and Wei Ting, which made Li Jiancheng feel heartache! These two were both loyal to him, but now they were dead, and Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to catch those two assassins and break them into pieces!
Li Yuanji's face was not very good-looking, and he pulled out his sword from Feng Li's body, but he didn't even look at Feng Li's corpse, so he went straight to Li Jiancheng's side and said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother! This can't just be done! Everyone has killed you in the palace! We have to do something about it! ”
Originally, Li Jiancheng's face was ugly, but now that he heard Li Yuanji provoke him like this, it became even more gloomy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info However, Li Jiancheng was able to restrain himself, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, now that the assassin has not been caught, the murderer behind this assassin does not know who it is, everything must pay attention to evidence!" ”
"Evidence? It's all like this, what more evidence do you need? Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuanji was almost about to jump up, and immediately shouted at Li Jiancheng: "Big brother! I know you're kind-hearted, but others don't have to! You treat others as brothers, but they don't necessarily have you as a big brother in their hearts! Look around, look around, if we're not lucky, our brothers will end up like them! It's all come to this point, do you still have any concerns, big brother? ”
The corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched, Li Yuanji's words hit his heart, his face was gloomy, his upper and lower teeth were constantly rubbing hard, his hands were clenched into fists, and green tendons burst out from the back of his hands! At this time, a guard quickly ran to Li Jiancheng's side and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, I found General Yuan in the garden!" General Yuan is still alive! Not killed by the Assassins! ”
"Oh?" Hearing the guard's words, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed surprise, they didn't take care of Yuan Hongshan when they fled before, and then they returned to the backyard, thinking that Yuan Hongshan was dead, but they didn't care too much, but they didn't expect Yuan Hongshan to be alive! Unlike other subordinates, this Yuan Hongshan represents the Yuan family, which is second to none among the Guanlong nobles! The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Yuan family has suffered a lot of blows now, it still has a lot of strength, as long as Yuan Hongshan is still alive, Li Jiancheng can still have the Yuan family as his supporter! Immediately, Li Jiancheng pulled Li Yuanji and immediately rushed in the direction pointed by the guard.
As soon as he arrived at the garden, he saw that among the piles of corpses, Won Hongshan was sitting on the ground covered in blood, gasping for breath. It turned out that after Yuan Hongshan called the eldest grandson Anye and Liu Deyu to send them to death, he took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, but he sneaked away. And after Yuan Hongshan saw the situation of the corpses all over the field, he learned to be obedient, and did not shout for help with great fanfare, but directly smeared some blood on his body, and just lay down in the corpse and pretended to be dead, but he escaped the catastrophe.
Seeing Li Jiancheng and the others coming, Yuan Hongshan pretended to have just gone through a big battle, hurriedly stood up, saluted Li Jiancheng breathlessly, and said, "Your Highness! The last general is not effective in escorting, and please ask His Highness to punish the crime! ”
Li Jiancheng was not stupid enough to investigate how Yuan Hongshan escaped death, even if he didn't care about the factors of the Yuan family, in today's battle, but Li Jiancheng's subordinates were killed, there was only such a Yuan Hongshan left, and Li Jiancheng didn't want to force this Yuan Hongshan away. Immediately, Li Jiancheng stepped forward with a look of surprise, personally supported Yuan Hongshan, and then sighed: "General Yuan was able to repel the assassins and save the lives of me and the King of Qi, and he was indeed a loyal minister of my Tang Dynasty!" General Yuan's life-saving grace today, I keep it in mind, and Li Jiancheng will definitely be rewarded in the future! ”
Obviously, he escaped by pretending to be dead, but he was said to be so great by Li Jiancheng, even if Yuan Hongshan's skin was thick, he couldn't help blushing at this moment, and at the same time he was grateful to Li Jiancheng for giving him so face, and immediately shouted to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness has a good reputation!" The last general will be able to serve His Highness, even if he loses this life, it will be at a cost! ”
"Big brother!" Li Yuanji shouted again at this moment: "It is gratifying that General Yuan was able to escape, but does the eldest brother still want to let go of the person who commanded the scene behind the scenes?" General Yuan! Let's talk about who instigated this assassination, we all know it! The other party has already done this part, don't we still respond, do we have to wait for death? ”
Li Yuanji said while quietly glancing at Yuan Hongshan, and Yuan Hongshan also seemed to understand Li Yuanji's intentions, but after hesitating for a while, he hugged his fists at Li Jiancheng and said: "Your Highness, the last general also thinks that what King Qi said is very true!" The art of war is cloudy, strike first, and be controlled by others! Now that the other party has done this, if His Highness is restrained like this again, he can only sit back and wait for death! Your Highness, the last general and the Yuan family are all willing to support Your Highness, and please give your Royal Highness a decisive order! Help His Highness sweep away the thieves and return the Tang Dynasty! ”
There was Li Yuanji before, and now there is another Yuan Hongshan, Li Jiancheng was originally a little excited, but now he is completely shaken! Immediately, Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay! Since he is unkind, let me not blame me for being unjust! General Yuan! Please go back to the Yuan family now and explain what I mean to the Yuan family master! Today, there is a dragon from the merit, and the future will be built to live up to the Yuan family! ”
Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, the corners of Yuan Hongshan's mouth also turned slightly, obviously Li Jiancheng also moved his mind to tear the last layer of camouflage with the one in Tiance Mansion! And the Yuan family was hit hard before, and now if they can take the opportunity of supporting Li Jiancheng to ascend to the throne, there is no possibility of a comeback! Immediately, Yuan Hongshan just hugged Li Jiancheng and drank it, and then turned around and left the East Palace, he wanted to return to the Yuan family immediately, and let the head of the family, Yuan Baohe, mobilize all the remaining strength of the Yuan family in the Tang army!
And immediately afterwards, Li Jiancheng turned his head to Li Yuanji and said, "Fifth brother! You go to Lee Hyo-chang right now! Although he only has the name of the king of Ngee An, he also has a lot of connections in the army! At critical moments, he can also play a role! You asked him to do everything he could to mobilize as many soldiers and horses in Chang'an City as possible for me in a short period of time, come to the East Palace, and escort me into the palace! ”
"No problem!" Hearing Li Jiancheng's instructions, Li Yuanji also immediately snorted, and his face showed excitement, but soon Li Yuanji asked with a puzzled face: "Enter the palace?" Big brother, what are you doing in the palace at this time? ”
"Of course you have to enter the palace!" Putting aside his hesitation, Li Jiancheng also showed his calmness and the city, and said in a deep voice: "As the prince of the East Palace, I was assassinated in this East Palace under this blue sky and white sun!" I'd like to see what my father thinks about this! ”
Although Li Yuanji is impulsive and reckless, he is definitely not a fool, Li Jiancheng said it so obviously, he naturally immediately understood, and immediately said with a smile: "I understand!" I understand! It's called being famous! As long as we can make my father nod, then we can deal with Li Shimin! Good! Eldest brother! You wait, I'll do it! ”
Seeing Li Yuanji running out in a hurry, Li Jiancheng also smiled coldly, but he looked at the corpses all over the ground at his feet, and said to himself: "Second brother, second brother!" Since you are so cruel to my big brother, then don't blame my big brother for being unsympathetic! Today, there is you without me! I'm going to cut you off completely! ”
Li Yuanji's work efficiency is still very fast, or Li Xiaochang's face is big, less than an hour, Li Yuanji and Li Xiaochang took more than 2,000 Tang troops to gather at the gate of the East Palace, plus the guards of the East Palace, there are exactly nearly 3,000 people, Li Jiancheng is even more dressed in military uniform, standing majestically in front of the generals. Seeing so many soldiers standing in front of him, Li Jiancheng was also ambitious for a while, and at this time, Li Yuanji and Li Xiaochang also stepped forward to salute respectively, and the four generals behind them were also lined up, and they stepped forward to salute Li Jiancheng.
Among these four generals, one of them is Yang Wengan, the commander of the guards of Li Jiancheng's East Palace, and the other is Yu Wenbao, the commander of the guards under Li Yuanji, and the remaining two, one is the general of the Tang Army defenders, Da Zhi, this person is a Turk, and the other is Si Nongqing Yu Wenying, these two people, one is Li Xiaochang's friend, the other is Li Yuanji's confidant, both of them came with soldiers and horses to assist Li Jiancheng!
At the beginning, he was killed by the assassins so many subordinates, and now in the blink of an eye, there are four more generals, Li Jiancheng is also relieved, at least in this court, the people who support him are no less than Li Shimin! Now Li Jiancheng is more confident in his next actions! Immediately, Li Jiancheng turned over the horse like a cloak behind him, and Li Xiaochang asked Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, from the East Palace to the palace, there are three gates, but I don't know which gate Your Highness is going to enter the palace from?" ”
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, but as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "If I remember correctly, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate today is Chang He, the Zhonglang general!" This Chang He is my confidant, we entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate! ”
"Xuanwu Gate?" Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, Li Xiaochang, who is known for his resourcefulness, also bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and nodded again and again, also expressing his approval. After all, Li Jiancheng's prestige in the army is not as good as Li Shimin, and if he wants to win by surprise, he must ensure that no news leaks out, so the more concealed and careful this matter is, the better! Since Chang He, the general guarding the Xuanwu Gate, is Li Jiancheng's henchman, it couldn't be better!
