Chapter 312: To save or not to save

Kinmen Fortress is a medium-sized city, as the east gate of Kinseong, where Silla's heavy troops are stationed, but according to the information obtained by Li Su, because of the previous war with Baekje, the troops stationed in Kinmen Fortress have been mobilized a lot, and now there are only more than 2,000 people stationed in the city, and all of them are old and weak, and there is no big defensive force at all.

After Li Su arrived at Jinmen City, the first thing was to take over the defense here, and this was also approved by Jin Shengman, Jin Gongqi, as the city lord, was also very cooperative, and took the initiative to transfer the two thousand old and weak people out of the city, so that the army of the Tang Dynasty could settle in, and Li Su and his party were also very thoughtful, not only prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Li Su, but also prepared a lot of wine and meat to labor the army.

After the banquet, Jin Gongqi personally led the way in front and came to his residence for Li Su and Jin Shengman, which was originally his city lord's mansion, but now it was specially vacated for them to live, and he also took Li Su and them for a brief visit.

Regarding Jin Gongqi's enthusiastic performance, Li Su smiled lightly: "Lord Jin City, this king's visit to Silla this time has made you loyal subordinates bother!" ”

"Your Highness is serious, these are the duties that a minister should do, as long as His Highness and the lord of the country are satisfied, it is the greatest reward for Gongqi!" Jin Gongqi responded with some sincere fear. However, although Li Su looked at each other with a smile, a cold light flashed in his eyes that no one noticed.

For Jin Gongqi, Li Su always felt a little uneasy, although the other party behaved very normally, and he was also very respectful to Li Su, and at the banquet, Jin Gongqi was also extremely enthusiastic, and said a lot of words of thanks to him, which probably means that the marriage between Li Su and Jin Shengman made Silla finally get out of the current predicament, and he himself was extremely supportive.

Jin Gongqi was originally one of Jin Shengman's henchmen, and now he welcomes Li Su's arrival, which is a very normal thing, but Li Su is in this normality, and he senses a trace of an abnormal atmosphere, because he feels that this Jin Gongqi seems to be too enthusiastic, and even the 25,000 troops he brought did not have the slightest resistance, as if everything was in his expectations.

This person is not simple, he even deceived Jin Shengman! Li Su said secretly in his heart. Although he is not very sure, but there must be something wrong with this Jin Gongqi, although Li Su does not have any evidence at all now, but he trusts his instincts, it seems that he should be careful tonight.

casually walked around Jin Gongqi's City Lord's Mansion, and then Li Su let Jin Gongqi leave in the name of a tiring journey. Originally, Li Su and Jin Shengman were married and should live together, but since the first day of marriage, Li Su has never touched a finger of Jin Shengman, so the two have been sleeping in separate rooms.

Jin Shengman didn't say anything about this situation, and even in today's situation, he silently asked the maid to pack up her things, left the master bedroom to Li Su, and moved to the study next to him to sleep, and Li Su didn't stop it.

However, today is destined to be an extraordinary night, at the third watch in the evening, although the fire candle in Li Yu's bedroom is extinguished, but by the window in the house, there are two black figures standing there, motionless and extremely scary.

"Wang Fu, what method do you think the Silla people will use to assassinate her?" A voice suddenly asked faintly, it was Li Su, who had not slept all along.

"Hehe, this old man can't guess, but now that the house is full of our people, it is definitely unlikely that they want to attack, so they should use a relatively mild method of killing." An old voice replied, naturally it was Li Su's Wang Fu Wang An.

Li Su nodded when he heard Wang An's answer, he thought the same. Originally, Li Su was sure that some people in Silla would definitely do something to him and Jin Shengman today, but he was not worried about his safety at all, because he knew very well that even if he lent those people a few more dares, they would not dare to move a finger, because he was His Royal Highness the King of Qi in the Tang Dynasty, if something happened in Silla, no matter what kind of explanation was given, it would not satisfy the Tang Dynasty, and what was waiting for them would be Li Shimin's infinite anger. And that kind of anger is definitely not something that a small Silla can bear.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Su entered the country of Silla, no matter how much some people hated him, they still had to find a way to protect his safety, and it was impossible to send people against him. However, this is only for him, but he doesn't have any care for Kim Seungman, so the reason why Li Su didn't sleep today is to see if the Silla people will assassinate Kim Seungman like this?

In fact, for Li Su, Jin Shengman's life and death are not very important now, because he has married Jin Shengman, and after having this relationship, he has an excuse to meddle in Silla, and even in case Jin Shengman is really assassinated, Li Su can also use strong means to control Silla under the pretext of revenge for Jin Shengman, but this method may cause some people in Silla to resist, and then it will make Li Su spend more effort.

It's about to enter November, and this winter came very early, the temperature dropped to below zero early, and the weather tonight was even worse, the sky was full of thick dark clouds in the evening, and the cold wind was blowing non-stop, and it looked like it was going to snow.

And Li Su and Wang An waited for a while, and suddenly snowflakes fell outside, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground was soon covered with a layer of silver, and with this hazy snow light, the night was brighter than before.

Li Su looked at the study where Jin Shengman lived opposite, and couldn't help but feel a burst of impatience in his heart, now that the third watch has passed, but there is still no movement, are the people in Silla really not going to do it? No, those people definitely don't want Kim Seung-man to return to Pyongyang with him, otherwise Silla will have to change his surname to Lee, only if Kim Seung-man dies halfway, they will have a chance to fight, although this chance is very slim, but it is not impossible to succeed.

Thinking of this, Li Su once again cheered up and stared at the study opposite, and just like that, half an hour later, just when Li Su was about to give up, suddenly there was a slight movement in the wing room next to the study, which made Li Su immediately frown, because it was where the maid lived.

Sure enough, after a while, a ghostly white figure came out of the side room, and by the dim light in the corridor, although Li Su couldn't see the appearance of the person who came out, he was sure that the other party should be a maid beside Jin Shengman.

I saw the maid shrink her body, very nervously approaching Jin Shengman's residence, and then slowly walked out of the bedroom window, but it was far away from Li Su, and the light was dim, so Li Su didn't see what the maid was doing there at all, only saw the other party stand up straight, stretched out his arm and crawled on the window for a while, and finally returned to the wing room along the original route.

"Your Highness, the old man's eyes are not very good, can you see what that person is doing?" Wang An frowned and asked, he thought that the other party would sneak into Jin Shengman's room and then do something wrong, but he didn't expect that the other party just stood outside Jin Shengman's window for a while, and then left, which didn't look like a stab at all.

"I didn't see it either!" Li Su was also confused, the other party didn't even enter the room at all, how could he assassinate Jin Shengman?

"Wait a little longer, and when that assassin leaves, let's send someone to see what she's done?" Li Su thought about it and said, he is really curious now, what method will the other party have to assassinate Jin Shengman?

After waiting for another half an hour, Li Yu called a guard and asked him to sneak over to see if there was anything unusual in Jin Shengman's window?

As a result, the guard went for a while, and soon came back to report: "Your Highness, the exhaust pipe outside the window of Jin Yingren has been blocked!" ”

Exhaust pipe! Li Su was shocked when he heard this, the weather is extremely cold now, so the stove has been raised in the room, and with the popularity of coal, even Silla here is also affected by the Tang Dynasty, and the stove is used for heating in winter, but in order to prevent gas poisoning, there will be a pipe made of bamboo or iron cylinder on the stove to discharge the gas outside.

"I see, it's really impossible to prevent!" Li Su nodded and said. Block the exhaust pipe of the coal stove, the gas produced by the furnace cannot be discharged, and it is easy to be poisoned, and since the other party dares to do this, there must be people in Jin Shengman's room, and this person will seal the doors and windows in Jin Shengman's bedroom, so that Jin Shengman can't be poisoned if he wants to.

"Killing people without seeing blood, what a ruthless method!" Wang An also sighed and said, with the application of coal, gas poisoning is also very common, so Wang An immediately guessed the other party's intentions.

However, Wang An didn't speak again, but kept staring at Li Su, because now they are facing two choices, that is, to save or not to save, if they are saved, they can use Jin Shengman's influence to control the political core of Silla in one fell swoop, and then control Silla very easily, but in this way, Jin Shengman will become the last hidden danger, after all, she is Li Su's woman, no one can do anything to her, and if the two have children, it will be a big problem that is difficult to solve.

And if you don't save it, the hidden danger of Kim Seung-man will definitely be gone, and it will give Li Su an excellent excuse, so that he can sweep Silla by strong means and completely control Silla in his own hands, but in this way, he will pay a certain price, after all, Silla is also a country, and there will definitely be people who resist, if Li Su wants to control Silla without paying any price, it is definitely not realistic.

In fact, Li Su was inclined not to save at first, after all, he and Jin Shengman had no relationship, and if they could really control Silla without any hidden dangers, it would be worth paying some price, but when this moment really came, Li Su suddenly hesitated, whether to save or not to save?
