Chapter 390: The Wind Rises When It's Over
"Together?"
The corners of Li Hong's mouth pulled up a sneering smile, and he glanced at the crazy Liu Renliang with some disdain, his eyes were cold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Liu Zhengze, it seems that you haven't had enough of the lessons in Chang'an City, fight with me, which time have you won?"
One sentence made Liu Renliang's face suddenly gloomy, the sword in his hand was also tight, and his white eyebrows were even more wrinkled.
"It's true that the old man hasn't won, but don't forget, it's the old man's knife on your neck now, if you don't want to die, immediately let people prepare two fast horses and let me go!" Otherwise, you just wait for the fish to die and the net is broken! ”
At this point, Liu Renliang no longer expects to continue to control the army, he just wants to be able to leave as soon as possible, as for the pursuit of the court in the future, he can't care about it at all now, and now it is the most important thing to save his life.
"Liu Renliang, you immediately let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go, don't make a mistake!"
Seeing that Li Hong was being held hostage, Xue Rengui's face suddenly became anxious, and there was a little more anxiety in his voice.
"General Xue, as long as you let the old man go, I will let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go! Otherwise......"
Liu Renliang smiled sinisterly, but the sword in his hand tightened again on Li Hong's neck, and a faint trace of blood appeared, which suddenly made Xue Rengui, who was frowning, anxious in his heart, and shouted loudly.
"I promise you!"
After saying that, he immediately raised his right hand, and the encirclement that had been slowly shrinking towards the center of the platform suddenly stopped, but for some reason, Xue Rengui turned his hand back to the front, which made Liu Renliang's heart pass a trace of doubt.
But at the moment, the matter was urgent, but he didn't care about it, and continued to speak.
"Immediately prepare the horse and gold, let the old man leave, and naturally play him back!"
"Good!"
Xue Rengui did not hesitate to agree, but the raised right hand was never put down, seeing that the other party agreed, Liu Renliang breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the sword was also slightly loosened, no longer close to Li Hong's neck.
"Do it!"
It's just that before Liu Renliang could react, he heard Xue Rengui on the opposite side shouting, and when he realized that something was wrong, Liu Renliang just wanted to clench the sword in his hand, but found that a small black dart had been accurately inserted into his wrist, directly penetrating the entire wrist.
With a "bang", a sharp pain spread from the wrist to the heart, and the sword in Liu Renliang's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Li Hong, I'll kill you!"
The blood on the wrist was pouring out, and the arm was already faintly purple in a moment, and the location hit by the black dart had already become pitch black, and at a glance, it was clear that the dart was quenched with poison.
However, Liu Renliang looked like crazy, ignoring the injury on his right arm, and pounced straight at Li Hong, and several of his personal guards who were originally surrounding Li Hong also followed......
After an instant, Liu Renliang lowered his head with a look of incredulity on his face, and saw a sword running through his chest, and his eyes could still see the blood-stained tip of the sword.
And in front of him, the six guards stood in front of Li Hong without the slightest emotion on their faces, forming a human wall!
Turning his head stiffly, Adjutant Liu's hand trembled, and he pulled the sword out of his chest with all his might, and immediately blood splattered and stained the latter's robe red.
"Liu Zhengze, it seems that this time, he is still a lonely chess player!"
Li Hong's voice sounded, and there was no emotion, only calm indifference.
At the same time, Pei Xingjian silently put down his raised right hand, and in the palm of his hand, there was a small jade order, engraved with two small characters.
Dark Guard!
At the same time, a burst of smoke and dust flew in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, and before everyone could react, a jujube red horse rushed in from the camp gate and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, followed by a team of iron horsemen, awe-inspiring!
Outside the camp gate, in a moment, it was filled with soldiers in armor.
Li Hong's expression was slightly dark, and he was overjoyed.
Junzhou Military House!
The man on the jujube red horse was dressed in heavy armor, and after rushing into the camp gate, he realized that the situation was wrong, hurriedly reined in the horse, raised his eyes, and saw Li Hong standing on the platform at a glance.
"The armies obeyed the order, immediately lay down their weapons and hand over His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise they will be killed!"
The man's heart was in a hurry, but he raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly, and the iron horse behind him also followed closely behind, surrounding the entire platform.
"General Pei doesn't need to worry, there's nothing going on here!"
Seeing this scene, Li Hong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and shouted at the jujube red horse in the distance.
Pei Xingjian turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the platform, and the soldiers around him, whether they were the men and horses of the Junzhou Military Mansion or the soldiers and horses of Liu Renliang, all consciously gave way to a road.
"The minister's rescue is late, please forgive your highness!"
When Pei Xingjian came closer, he found Liu Renliang who had fallen to the ground, and his heart suddenly relaxed, knelt on one knee, and said with his fists clenched.
"General Pei has worked hard!"
Li Hong smiled slightly, helped Pei Xingjian up, said with a gentle face, paused, but remembered Liu Renliang's sworn words yesterday, and asked with some questions.
"The general is here, has he been ambushed?"
In fact, today's matter, to put it bluntly, after fighting with Liu Renliang for so long, how could Li Hong not understand his character, once he obediently entered his camp, then I am afraid that everything will not be up to him.
So in order to delay time, Li Hong had to temporarily agree to his request, but in fact he formulated another set of plans.
He replaced his personal guards with the guards in advance, and pretended to meet Xue Rengui to hand over the jade order to him, so that he could command the secret guards to kill Liu Renliang at the right time.
In fact, the matter is not complicated, but what needs to be vigilant is that Liu Renliang found out about this matter, and the army was unstable after his death, and there may be a riot.
So Li Hong chose the most dangerous method, put himself under the control of Liu Renliang, expose his true face in public, and then behead him, everything he said on the stage before was to stabilize the morale of the army!
As for the guards around Liu Renliang, they have long been replaced by the secret guards after the disguise!
But the most surprising thing for him was this Adjutant Liu, although Xue Rengui told him yesterday that this person was available, but after all, he was Liu Renliang's henchman, so Li Hong did not disclose the plan to him, and the news that Liu Renliang's guards were replaced, he naturally did not know, but he was able to make a decision immediately and kill Liu Renliang, which also shows that he is not really rebellious......
It's just that if it weren't for the fact that Pei Xingjian couldn't be dragged back, why would Li Hong take the risk of doing this trick, calculating the time, now that only two days and two nights have passed, how could Pei Xingjian bring people back so quickly......
Li Hong was puzzled in his heart, so he asked this question.
"Your Highness, the minister was indeed ambushed, but fortunately, the minister was alert, so he avoided a catastrophe and rushed to the Jiucheng Palace by detour, so that he could bring the people of the Junzhou Military Mansion back in time...... Your Highness, can you move into the tent and speak! ”
Pei Xingjian briefly said what happened, and then his face froze, and he said with a little embarrassment.
"Good!"
Seeing this scene, Li Hong's heart was even more ominous.
The two hurriedly came to the tent, and before they could sit down, Pei Xingjian took out a will from his hand, there was no ceremony to receive the decree, and handed it directly to Li Hong, there were no verbose words on it, except for the seal, there was only one sentence!
Ordered the crown prince Li Hong to go to Jiucheng Palace immediately to see him!
