Chapter 317: Assassination
Li Xian's battle forced Li Quanzhong to carry out a decisive battle, and finally annihilated Li Qianzhong's 100,000 troops, which caused the Khitan to suffer a devastating blow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What is even more surprising is that because the army led by Li Xian before to lure the enemy had a strong will to fight, successfully dragged down the enemy's main force, and seriously reduced their morale, so when the main army launched an attack, it only paid the price of more than 20,000 casualties, plus the number of people sacrificed when he was ordered to lure the enemy before.
This can be said to be a very exciting news for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, since Li Xian came to Zhaozhou, it took less than half a month to achieve such amazing results, even if it is said that it is shocking ancient and modern.
Therefore, after hearing about this major victory, all the local officials in Hebei Province, especially those who suffered from the Khitan war, spontaneously came to Yingzhou, where Li Xian was located, to hold a banquet to celebrate Li Xian.
Of course, in addition to officials from all over the country, there are also some local celebrities and representatives sent by the family, such as the Li family of Zhaojun.
Although the war had just ended, because it was an unprecedented victory, this battle laid a stable situation in the Hebei prefectures, at least for twenty years, a large-scale war would not break out, which ensured the safety of their rule or the township, but also the prince of the dynasty, usually it was too late.
Therefore, the number of people who came to celebrate Li Xian this time was very large, and there were more than 30 people with official status above the fifth grade, and only these people were qualified to sit at the same table with Li Xian, while the others were arranged in the courtyard.
Li Xian, as the crown prince of the dynasty, naturally wanted to unite the local gentry and celebrities in exchange for the popularity of the people, so it was inconvenient to refuse their kindness, but before he started drinking, Li Xian still insisted on standing up and mourning for those who died or were injured in the war. It deeply touched those who had been devastated by the war, as well as their families and friends.
And those who have not experienced the devastation of the war are also moved by Li Xian's gesture, and they have a new understanding of Li Xian's character through Li Xian's point, because a hero who enjoys the glory while not forgetting those who have passed away is absolutely worthy of respect.
Therefore, almost all of them raised their glasses and sincerely expressed their respect to Li Xian.
For those toasts of officials above the fifth grade, Li Xian naturally did not refuse to come, and those who celebrated in the courtyard were not ordinary people, Li Xian of course would not be lazy, so he clinked glasses with almost everyone and drank, Rao was an amazing amount of alcohol, and he also felt a little dizzy after this time.
In this case, Li Xian left his seat and went through the back door to the garden to take a breath.
Now the weather is in a hot period, in such weather, and it is an occasion like feasting, Li Xian naturally did not wear armor or weapons, but wore a long shirt and held a folding fan, breathing in the quiet night, trying to make himself sober.
But at this moment, Li Xian's brows suddenly furrowed, because he heard a slight sound of clothes breaking through the air not far away, accompanied by a long breath, Li Xian immediately judged that more than ten masters were approaching him, and Li Xian could still feel a faint murderous aura, and he knew that the more than ten people who came were actually going to assassinate him.
Those people came very carefully to Li Xian's ten zhang away, and slowly surrounded Li Xian secretly, obviously fully prepared and didn't want to give Li Xian a chance to escape.
However, those people did not know whether they were worried or unprepared, but they did not show up for a long time.
Li Xian couldn't help but say lightly: "Since you're here, let's show up, sneaky, what does it look like?" ”
But seeing that there was silence around him, then a hoarse voice sounded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being a master, he found us so quickly, I can't hide it, we are here today for only one purpose, that is, to take the life of His Royal Highness the Prince, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fulfill us, if you don't resist, we promise that your hands will be clean and neat, so that you can die happily, if you resist, you don't have to suffer some bits and pieces, then each other is not good-looking." ”
The person's voice was obviously disguised, since this was the case, Li Xian could also guess that the person must be an acquaintance, otherwise he would not have disguised his voice, but Li Xian didn't know who among the acquaintances he knew had such skills.
"Hehe, listening to what Your Excellency meant, it seems that you have already eaten this palace, and you think that this palace has no chance of surviving this time? I wonder where you got such confidence? Li Xian smiled faintly after hearing this, and said calmly.
But seeing the man, he smiled and said: "Natural self-confidence, we are all first-class masters, everyone has practiced martial arts for many years, and eighteen people have formed a set of formations, which is not inferior to the eighteen Arhat formations of your Shaolin Temple, in this case, even if you are the first person in martial arts, you will still be taken down by us." ”
"Hmph, you know a lot." When Li Xian heard this, he knew that the other party had figured out the details of his Shaolin disciples, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that even now, you still want to kill us, do you really think that if you are the prince, we can't kill you? You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, in that case, then kill me! ”
After the man finished speaking, an extremely chilling killing intent immediately erupted from his body, and then he drew his sword and prepared to act.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, I only heard the sound of the wind blowing in my clothes, Li Xian actually moved first, it turned out that Li Xian also saw that the other party's formation was unusual, if they let them take the lead in action, maybe they would really fall into passivity, and even bring unpredictable consequences.
I saw that Li Xian's body was like the wind, and he came to him before a man in black reacted, and then his right hand punched the other party's face door like a thunderbolt, only to hear a snort, the bridge of the man's nose was broken by Li Xian's punch, and the blood flowed out.
The man screamed, almost subconsciously covered his nose with both hands, but he didn't expect Li Xian to pull out his sword from the man's waist, and then stabbed forward, directly into the throat of the person who was hit on the nose, the man looked at Li Xian in disbelief, and then didn't snort, and died in anger.
