Chapter 279: Night Killing
The nearest big city to Chang'an is Luoyang, but at the current speed from Chang'an to Luoyang may take several days, out of Chang'an Road did not stop, just at noon rest for half an hour, everyone ate some dry food.
Of course, the dry food was eaten by the guards and servants brought by Li Zhi, Wang Xiang and Xiao Lori naturally didn't need to eat dry food, but Aunt Lin had to prepare a lot of food for them, and it was no problem to eat for three or five days. Even after eating Wang Xiang's warehouse, there is still a lot of stock in it, and this secret is currently known only to Ju Yiya.
When it was dark, I happened to encounter a post house, so there was no need to trouble Zhang Luo's tent, and the post house knew the identities of Wang Xiang and Li Zhi, and did not dare to slack off.
Because it is a post house close to Chang'an, it looks pretty good, better than the general restaurant inn, and the meals prepared by the post house are also quite rich.
Riding in a carriage is a very easy thing to make people feel tired, plus along the way by the little Lori and Li Zhi's energetic energy, everyone will be a little tired, after eating early in the arranged room to rest, no one found that there is a figure who followed them all the way here, and when they saw the iron egg, there was obviously a strange light in their eyes.
At this time, in Qin Tianjian, Li Er and Yuan Tiangang sat on the ground, with a few small dishes on the low table, and a pot of sake next to them.
The door was not closed, and the wind outside blew in and lifted the hem of their clothes.
Li Er glanced at the night sky with a few remnant stars hanging outside, and said lightly: "Today's stars are a little dark." ”
Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly: "The celestial phenomena have changed instantly, and now they are dim. Maybe it will light up after a while. ”
"I sent Shadow Three to secretly escort King Jin south."
"Your Majesty is worried about the prince's new safety?"
Li Er obviously said that he sent Shadow Three to secretly escort Li Zhi south. But Yuan Tiangang said that Li Er was worried about Wang Xiang's safety. Li Er nodded when he heard this.
"You once said that the troubled times are heroic, the prosperous world is outstanding, and now the troubled times are coming, what are the heroes in this world, and who are the heroes? Is the prince a hero, or a hero? ”
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and smiled: "Xiaoxiong was born in troubled times, and the prince's new emergence is the beginning of a prosperous era. ”
Li Er's face softened, and he said lightly: "Then he can be regarded as a masterpiece?" ”
Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "People are like stars." Everyone has their own position and destiny, just like Your Majesty, the emperor star in the southeast is Your Majesty's destiny star. ”
Li Er followed Yuan Tiangang's finger and looked down, but at some point, the stars in the sky suddenly increased, and a huge and bright star appeared between a group of flickering stars, the size of a bull's eye, which was extremely dazzling among the stars.
Li Er did not doubt Yuan Tiangang's words, because when he was still playing on the streets with ordinary nobles in Taiyuan, Yuan Tiangang said the same thing to him, and he later said many similar words, all of which were fulfilled one by one. It was only after he came into contact with Yuan Tiangang that Li Er knew that there were still such people in the world.
Everyone in the world thinks that he can win the world because of his eldest grandson, Wuji. An immortal advisor like Fang Xuanling, a peerless general like Wei Chi, and Qin Qiong, no one knows that it is people like Ying San who really play a decisive role.
No matter how wise a strategist is, he can't do it as a last resort, and in the same way, no matter how brave a fierce general is, it is impossible to defeat ten thousand with one person, but there is a type of person who can do what ordinary people can't do, and that is people like Shadow Three.
Li Er suddenly became interested and asked, "Which is the prince's new life star?" After speaking, he was still looking for it among the stars, and in his opinion, Wang Xiang's life star must be an unusually bright one to have such extraordinary achievements.
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "Poor Dao has not found the prince's new destiny. ”
"Didn't find his fate?" Li Er was puzzled: "Didn't you say that everyone will have their own destiny star?" ”
Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly: "So Poor Dao can't see through Wang Zixin, that is, those people in Fanbang have their own life stars, but Wang Zi Xin, poor Dao didn't find his life stars, maybe he doesn't have a life star at all." ”
Li Er frowned, everyone has their own destiny, but Wang Xiang does not.
"What does this mean? Why doesn't he have a life star? ”
Yuan Tiangang's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "If a person dies and the star falls, the star of death will naturally fall away." ”
Hearing this, Li Er almost squirted out the sip of wine he had just drunk: "Could it be that the prince just left the city and had an accident?" ”
Of course, Wang Xiang didn't have an accident, he was sleeping in the post house, but it seemed that something was about to happen.
At this time, all the people in the post house had stopped, and the whole post house was quiet, except for the occasional sound of horses beating their noses or two.
There were a few lanterns lit in the courtyard of the inn, not too bright, dim, and when a servant yawned and passed through the cloister, he seemed to feel that the courtyard was dark, and he looked at it with sleepy eyes and found nothing unusual, and then staggered back to the house and lay down.
After he returned to the house, a vigorous black shadow fell from the eaves of the cloister, and when it landed, it did not make a sound, looked around for a while, and then tiptoed towards Wang Xiang's house.
At the moment when he silently opened the door lock, he suddenly felt a chill down his back, and he turned backwards without thinking about it, it was this intuition of danger that saved his life, the black scarf covering his face had been split in two from the middle and slowly fell to the ground, under the black scarf was a face different from that of the Central Plains, and there was a trace of extremely fine blood on the tip of the nose.
The black shadow looked fearfully ahead, and a thin figure also dressed in black hung from the eaves, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone with cold light, which looked exceptionally bright in the night.
It was the inch-long dagger in his hand that cut open the black scarf, it was more like a dagger than a blade, and it was only a little cold between his fingers.
In just a moment, the dark shadow made a decision - withdraw!
This thin figure gave him the feeling of being very dangerous!
The speed of the black shadow is very fast, but the figure hanging on the eaves moves faster, originally he hung on the eaves motionless, but the moment the black shadow retreated, he kicked his legs, fast as lightning!
When the throat was cut by that bit of coldness, the black shadow still couldn't believe that he would lose so quickly and completely, Yu Chi Jingde, Cheng Biting Jin and other unparalleled fierce fierce men didn't even pay attention to him, but died in the hands of a person who didn't even see his face.
It all happened between the lightning and the flint, from the time the shadow lifted the lock to the moment he fell to the ground clutching his throat, and it didn't attract anyone's attention.
