Chapter 103: Murder pays for life
The breeze in the garden wafted a faint fragrance, permeating the surroundings of everyone, Li Hong just followed behind the three girls, he felt that this kind of scene was weird.
Because of Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, joining the flower appreciation, Xu Jiaoyun, Pei Yanrong, and Yang Sisi talked about the topic a little, and no longer talked about the noble sons and talents of Chang'an City as before, and at the same time, they were not as unscrupulous as before when they spoke, especially Pei Yanrong, who was cautious and shy, which made people want to pity, and Xu Jiaoyun still looked very arrogant, and did not suppress his character at all because of Li Hong's prince. This made Li Hong like this girl very much, only Yang Sisi's behavior made Li Hong a little unpredictable.
He didn't know how the three girls met and how they appeared here, but from the relationship between the three of them, it seemed to be very close, but Li Hong felt that Yang Sisi gave him the feeling that he was much more shrewd than Xu Jiaoyun and Pei Yanrong. If Xu Jiaoyun is innocent and Pei Yanrong is kind, then Yang Sisi is cunning.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard my father say that last time you used a soil dog to fight the Tibetan mastiff, is this true?" Xu Jiaoyun suddenly asked, "You may not know yet, just because of a dog fight between you and the Tubo Mission, now the children of the family in Chang'an City no longer play cockfighting, and they have begun to play dog fighting." What's even more infuriating is that they say that the game played by the women of cockfighting, can't we women fight dogs? Hmph—"
"Is the mastiff very powerful? Why does everyone think that when they mention this dog fight, it is a very incredible thing to win the mastiff? Yang Sisi also asked curiously.
"I've heard that mastiffs are big and fierce, and they don't look like dogs, but more like animals called lions." When it came to dog fighting, Pei Yanrong also spoke, obviously she was also interested in this issue.
Li Hong was a little big, what did these three girls ask is not good, they have to ask this question.
He was easy to answer the other questions, but he didn't know how to answer this one. Because the mastiff is more truthful, they will definitely ask why a soil dog can fight a mastiff, do they have to let themselves say that they have done something in a dog fighting competition? If the mastiff is not said to be very true, they will ask why everyone thinks it is very powerful when it comes to mastiffs.
Although Li Hong doesn't know the girl's thoughts, he still understands that once a thing arouses the girl's interest, if you don't satisfy her with the answer, they will definitely not give up.
"This mastiff is a kind of more powerful dog, the Tibetan people are grazing cattle and sheep to live, they sometimes in order to get a pasture to graze, they will stay away from the crowd, to the deserted places to graze and live, these places because of the sparse population and often wolves come out to steal the cattle and sheep in the pen, mastiff is the dog used by the Tubo people to prevent wolves." Li Hong said cautiously, "I don't know if the rumors are true, but I heard that an adult mastiff can bite three wolves at the same time." ”
"Wow - it's awesome here?" Xu Jiaoyun exclaimed.
"Is it true? Is a mastiff so powerful? Yang Sisi said with some skepticism. Pei Yanrong was at a loss, because Li Hong said all these things that she had never heard before.
"This dog fight, the earth dog was found by Yan Zhuang, and I don't know how he and Zhang Shun thought of winning the mastiff, but as long as Datang wins, we should all be happy, don't you say?" Li Hong said with a smile.
"Your Highness is right." Pei Yanrong said in a low voice. Xu Jiaoyun was eating and laughing on the side, and Yang Sisi had a deep face.
"Your Highness, is the princess of Tubo beautiful?" Suddenly, Yang Sisi asked. Seeing Li Hong's blank face, she opened her mouth and continued, "I heard that Chen Gong competed with Sang Ying, and the Tubo people had no money to press the bet, so the Tubo princess pressed herself. ”
Li Hong was dizzy, why did Yang Sisi suddenly ask this question!
"Princess Gesang is so courageous, I like it!" Xu Jiaoyun said with a smile.
Yang Sisi waited expectantly for Li Hong's answer.
"Lone is back, you can continue to play!" Li Hong suddenly spoke, ignoring the surprise of the three girls, and strode away.
"Your Highness—" Xu Jiaoyun shouted.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Pei Yanrong also asked in a low voice. Only Yang Sisi smiled lightly on the side. Because her question had a profound meaning—the meaning of which was clear only to herself, and likewise only to Li Hong herself—now the prince's answer gave her a definite answer.
……
The Nanya camp, with the banner waving, is full of murderous atmosphere.
When Li Hong arrived on horseback, Le Yanwei, Liu Xiangdao, Li Anqi, Zhao Renji, An Lai and others had been waiting for him for a long time.
Today is the day when Li Hong determined to behead the Sang Ying, the reason why the place was chosen in the Nanya camp is only one purpose, that is, to deter the 600 Tubo elite cavalry, he wants the 600 Tibetan elite cavalry to understand a truth, be a dog obediently, and don't treat yourself as a person.
Li Ji, the governor of Nanya, was not present, which was expected by Li Hong, and with the current relationship between Li Hong and Li Ji, Li Ji was not suitable to appear here.
Li Hong rode to the school field on horseback, boarded the platform, and saw that there was a phalanx of 1,000 cavalry on the left and right sides of the stage, and 600 Tibetan elite cavalry were sandwiched between two 1,000-person cavalry. This was Li Duoqi's arrangement, the purpose of which was to prevent the Tubo Jingqi from rebelling because of the killing of the Sang Eagle.
Li Hong boarded the point-generals, and Le Yanwei, Liu Xiangdao, Li Anqi, Zhao Renji, and An Lai also followed him to the point-generals. After that, they saw a prisoner car driving not far away, and Luo Bingwang and Fan Lubing personally escorted Sang Ying to the school grounds.
When they arrived at the front of the platform, they asked the officials to drag Sang Ying out of the prisoner cart and put him on the beheading platform, and then they saluted Li Hong, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Sang Ying is here." ”
"You two have worked hard!" Li Hong said. Luo Bingwang and Fan Lubing hurriedly said that they didn't dare, so they also boarded the stage under Li Hong's signal.
Sang Ying was tortured by Zhou Xing, and now he is paralyzed on the beheading platform, looking sluggish, and he does not have the demeanor of the Tubo brave generals in the past. This made the eyes of the six hundred Tibetan elite horsemen watching from the side full of murderous intent.
However, as soon as their murderous aura was released, the Tang cavalry on both sides felt it, and they also released their murderous aura, and their eyes were all fixed on the Tubo elite cavalry.
The atmosphere in the audience was cold and cold.
"Ambassador An, do you think this is good?" Li Hong suddenly said to An.
"What does Your Highness mean, but the minister doesn't understand." An Lai asked with a puzzled expression.
"Lone only came today to kill Sang Ying, not these six hundred elite horsemen, if they don't know what to do, Lone doesn't mind cutting them down." Li Hong said in a stern tone, "Does Ambassador An want to see such a scene?" ”
An Lai really hoped that the six hundred Tubo Elite Riders in front of him could put a little pressure on Li Hong, but he didn't want to see Li Hong cut down these six hundred people after getting angry. Although he had already lost these 600 people to Li Hong, as long as he returned to Tubo, he would have a way to redeem these 600 elite horses. So he didn't want to see these 600 people being tortured and killed by Li Hong's 2,000 personal guards. Besides, this is the Nanya camp of Datang, he really hopes that the six hundred elite cavalry can do something, but how big a wave can they afford?
"What does Your Highness mean?" Ann Lai asked.
"You should know what loneliness means, don't you?" Li Hong asked rhetorically. An Lai's face sank, but he still couldn't help but get angry, and he had to bow his head under the eaves!
The two of them were talking on the point platform, and the two cavalry below were already facing each other.
The Tubo people are already fierce, and they are not afraid of the Tang cavalry, which is more than twice as many as them, but the current 2,000 Tang troops are the cavalry guards trained by Li Duoqi himself, and they are the elite of the East Palace, so they are naturally unwilling to lose the battle in front of the prince.
In this way, the cavalry on both sides have fought bloodily and are already accumulating momentum to prepare for a battle!
At this moment, An Lai spoke, and he said a few words to the six hundred Tubo elite horses in the Tibetan language, and the six hundred Tubo elite horses restrained their murderous aura. The six hundred Tubo elite cavalry had no killing intent, and the two thousand Tang cavalry would no longer be in tat-to-tat confrontation with the Tibetan elite cavalry.
Li Hong saw that the scene was under control, so he took two steps forward and shouted to the soldiers in the audience, "Lone is called Li Hong, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, in Lone's eyes, whether you are a Tang Dynasty or a Tubo person, whether you are a son of an official eunuch or an ordinary person, as long as you break the law, Lone will deal with you." Today, the person to be beheaded is the deputy envoy of Tibet, do you know what crime he has committed? For homicide, he killed someone, and he was also a minor official of the Datang Weapons Prison. Although the small officials are small, they are still the people of the Tang Dynasty, you Sang Ying is the deputy envoy of Tubo, no matter how big the official position is, can it be bigger than the king's law? Lone doesn't want to talk nonsense here, just one sentence, you six hundred Tubo elite riders are now lonely slaves, if you are obedient, you are a lone warrior, a warrior of the Tang Dynasty, if you are disobedient, Sang Ying is your end-! ”
As soon as Li Hong's voice fell, the war drum of "Dong Dong Dong-" sounded, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Li Hong saw that the audience was silent, and it was obvious that everyone was thinking about what they said, so he gave an order.
I saw an executioner walk out not far away, he walked to the beheading platform, put the head of the mulberry eagle on the platform, raised the ghost head knife, sprayed a sip of wine, and the clean hand rose and fell.
Poof-Sang Ying's head was cut off, and blood gushed out at once. Gollum--Mulberry Eagle's head also rolled down and beheaded the platform-
"Kill-kill-kill-"
The two thousand cavalry guards roared loudly, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Before the shouts of the cavalry guards fell, there was an earth-shattering shout in the distance, "Kill-kill-kill-"
When An Lai heard this exclamation, dense sweat oozed from his forehead.
The Tang prince is too insidious! Fortunately, he persuaded the six hundred Tubo elite cavalry just now, otherwise let them fight with the Tang army because of Sang Ying, not to mention the two thousand cavalry in front of him, this exclamation in the distance must be another cavalry arranged by Li Hong to deal with the Tubo elite cavalry! Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now would have no fear, what a good means - secretly hiding a cavalry, he wished that the Tibetan elite cavalry would rebel and kill all these 600 people!
Thinking of this, An Lai's heart was flustered, and he suddenly had the idea of leaving Chang'an City as soon as possible.
