Chapter 646: It Turned Out to Be Her
Chapter 646 It turned out to be her
Time went back for more than half a day, after getting up and freshening up, Li Xian went out with the guards as before, walking aimlessly on the street, today it seems that his interest seems to be very good, along the way he kept talking and laughing with the vendors who set up stalls on the side of the road, and the people who were closer to the Qi Wangfu also knew this amiable prince, but they could also make a few innocuous jokes.
He even selected a hosta for each of the two people, although it is not a first-class baby, but it is better in terms of chic shape and exquisite workmanship, Li Xian personally selected and then paid, but it made both Qing Kite and Huangluan blush. This can be regarded as Li Xian's first gift to the two of them, although it is not expensive, but both of them are very precious.
The two of them lowered their heads and played with each other as they walked, obviously very fond of it.
Li Xian bought a hairpin and walked to a stall selling calligraphy and paintings, looked at a few words and landscape paintings on the stall, he didn't understand the painting, but the brushwork was rough, and there were even a few obvious failures, which absolutely couldn't hide people, so Li Xian only glanced away and found that there were two characters that were not bad.
"Whose word is this?"
"It's ......"
The peddler habitually wants to make things up, and subconsciously wakes up to this great man in front of him. Counting the emperor, he has the highest status, isn't it boring to lie to him by himself. So his face flushed, and he said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, this is the handwriting of the grass people themselves...... Looking at the calligraphy of several famous masters in the previous dynasty, I copied it. ”
"The pen is quite good."
Li Xian praised.
The peddler blushed and said, "The grass people have been doing this since they were thirteen years old, and they have been doing it for twenty years, and they have only written a hundred or so words in these twenty years. Speaking of which, some people have said that grass people can already write this word with falsehood. ”
"How much?"
Li Xian asked.
The peddler hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness likes to just take it, although this paper is high-grade rice paper, and the ink is also good ink, but this thing is written by the grass people themselves, and I can write a few more pieces tomorrow for Your Highness today, it is not worth it." If it is true that His Highness can read the grass people, this is the real earning. ”
"You're sincere!"
Li Xian smiled, asked the vendor to wrap up a few words, and then he took a pen on the stall at random, dipped it in ink, spread out the rice paper and wrote the four words "Cheng Yu Zhi" in one go, and said with a smile after blowing the ink: "I can't take you for nothing, these four words will be sent to you, if you practice like this, you will not be a real calligrapher in another ten years." But now it's still my word that is worth more, and you can sell it to subsidize your family. ”
The peddler took it with a thousand thanks, and couldn't put it down when he looked at those words.
Li Xian smiled and whispered to Qing Kite: "Who said that he can't write good words with a greedy heart for money, his calligraphy has already entered the room." Those guys who say that they can't write good things without self-cultivation are all farts, and some people may not be more beautiful than him after ten years of training. The words are good-looking, where there is so much nonsense and what sentiment charm is in it. ”
If some calligraphers listen to this, they may be angry and curled their beards.
"Your Highness, the grass people know that you love books very much, and the grass people found a lonely book yesterday, why don't you take a look?"
Standing not far away, Yi Bizhai's shopkeeper was familiar with Li Xian, the books in his store were excellent, Li Xian often patronized, and when he heard his call, he walked over with a smile. I just went to the door and asked what kind of lonely book it was, and suddenly a few people walked out of Yi Bizhai's shop, muttering something that was too expensive and was simply killing people or something, Li Xian turned sideways to make way for them, and the man who walked at the back suddenly unbuttoned his clothes and pulled out the knife from inside, stabbing Li Xian in the heart!
In fact, Li Xian saw that something was wrong when those few people came out, not to mention that the appearance of a few ordinary people in Yi Bizhai was a little suspicious, and the person who walked at the back deliberately hid his body, but his eyes flickered, his face was pale, and he was obviously extremely nervous. Li Xian has experienced too many life-and-death killings, and he easily saw through that there was definitely something wrong with these people. At the same time as the man drew the knife, Li Xian's footsteps were slightly wrong, and he could kick the man out with just one kick, but his shoulders sank down in a blink of an eye, and he was stabbed and then fell backwards.
At this moment, more than a hundred archers lying in ambush on both sides of the street were watching there, and if the Assassins missed, it would be their turn to strike. Seeing that Li Xian was surrounded by five assassins, none of those archers pulled up the bowstring. But it was only after a moment of hesitation that they realized that they had missed their only chance to succeed.
Li Xian stepped back, and the five assassins immediately chased after him, but Li Xian rushed forward with a sudden footstep, and smashed the door of an assassin with a punch, and the next second Li Xian had already pushed the half-dead assassin forward, and smashed Yi Bizhai's door and rushed into the house. In the next second, Li Xian's guards had surrounded the remaining four assassins.
As if they had been prepared for a long time, the four green-shirted swordsmen immediately rushed out in four directions, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing that they could not succeed, the four Assassins who were surrounded committed suicide by biting the pill in their mouths, and two of them poked knives into their hearts.
There was a great chaos in several other places where the Assassins were ambushed on the street, and the Assassins who wanted to rush over to support were actually attacked by someone, and more than a dozen people were stabbed before they could see who it was, and then there was a shout from the roof, and many archers were attacked from behind, and they shot into the shadows for a while, supporting each other and quickly fleeing.
The killing time was so short from the beginning to the end that the people on the street didn't even react to what was happening.
……
……
Li Xian looked at the man who rushed over on horseback, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer. I couldn't help but think of the husband and wife I met when I was drinking spirits and eating grilled fish with Qingqing on the shore of Poyang Lake. At that time, Qingqing also admired that such a pair of beautiful people really looked enviable. Then he beat the man for something that had nothing to do with him, but he felt a little close to the woman.
That's right, this person is Chai Shao.
When Li Xian went out to wander on the street in the morning, there was no shortage of guards around him, but someone entered Xiao Yu's mansion to commit murder, and the murderer was not Li Xian's guard, nor was he a secret spy, but a good hand in the army arranged by Chai Shao. He first arranged for the killer to enter the Xiao Mansion to commit the murder, and then immediately arranged for someone to assassinate Li Xian. It's a simple calculation, but it's definitely confusing. No one would have thought that he had sent someone to arrange it, and people would naturally think that it was not Xiao Yu's revenge.
Song Yu's death and Fang Zhengran's death made him see an opportunity to kill Li Xian. He had long had the intention of killing Li Xian, and he had this intention since he was inexplicably beaten in Poyang Lake that day. It's just that there has been no chance, Li Xian's strength is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that the entire Tang Empire trembles. Although he is in a high position, even the emperor can't do anything, what can he do?
Fortunately, Li Xian recklessly entered Chang'an City, and he only brought more than 20 guards with him, which made him see the hope of killing Li Xian.
He just didn't expect that Li Xian's reaction would be so simple and wild after the assassination was unsuccessful. Li Xian did not enter the palace and did not report to the officials, but led people to ask one yamen after another, and then killed people. Along the way, Li Xian first went to Xiao Yu's mansion, beheaded the squire of the Criminal Department, Huangfu Wuqi, and then went to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, beheaded a civil official from Wupin, and then to Chang'an Mansion, beheaded the general arrest who blocked the road, and then went to the military department, but halfway turned to the military yamen.
In more than two hours, Li Xian successfully forced the entire military in Chang'an City to count the number of people.
So Chai Shao knew that he was going to be exposed, so he transferred a whole regiment of 300 elite soldiers, and three of the five assassins were led by three brigades and two captains, all of whom were his cronies. This matter cannot be hidden at all, and once the military starts to investigate, it is impossible to hide it. So he immediately took the opportunity to enter the palace to test Li Yuan's reaction, knowing that the emperor was really angry this time, so he simply did things to the end. After he left the palace, he immediately transferred hundreds of elite cavalry and rushed to the yamen of the military garrison in the name of the Son of Heaven.
"Ordered to kill the traitor Li Xian!"
Chai Shao, who had been forced to red-eyed, had only one thought at this time, to kill Li Xian!
Now that it has reached this point, even if he stops, will the emperor be able to spare him? The Tang Dynasty is now unstable, Li Xian's strength is too strong, and the emperor can only appease him now and cannot offend, Chai Shao thought that the peerless opportunity he was waiting for has become a trap, jump in and don't want to climb out unharmed. If Li Xian didn't die, he knew what his fate would be. And if Li Xian dies, he still has a glimmer of life.
After all, he is a concubine, although he has never lived with Princess Pingyang since he escaped from Chang'an, his identity as a concubine is beyond doubt, and the emperor values him very much! Since Taiyuan, his military achievements are second only to Li Shimin, the king of Qin! As long as Li Xian is dead and the wood is completed, even if the emperor kills himself, it will be useless, and now that the Tang Dynasty lacks generals, he will still have a chance to turn over, but if Li Xian does not die...... He can only be a victim.
Before the emperor arrives at the military garrison yamen, he will kill Li Xian!
Holding a lance, he roared with red eyes: "Death to those who stop me!" ”
Zhang Gong, the Duke of Tanguo, glanced at him, and then at Li Xian, he didn't know what choice he should make, there were hundreds of elite horsemen around him who could be sent out to stop Chai Shao, but he didn't know what was wrong, he hesitated a few times and didn't give this order. So when he saw the contempt and playfulness in Li Xian's eyes when he looked at him, he felt that his face was burning like a slap in the face.
"Line up and protect His Royal Highness King Yan!"
Zhang Gongjin gritted his teeth, thinking that if he did nothing, the emperor's side would definitely not be able to explain, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to line up in front of Li Xian, but it was already a little late at this time. Chai Shao's war horse was extremely fast, and it was not far from the street, and at this time, it was only more than twenty meters away from Li Xian, and it was too late to line up again.
Li Xian stretched out his hand to the side, and the green kite pulled out the black knife with a sound and handed it to Li Xian. More than a dozen green-shirted swordsmen around Li Xian also drew their knives almost at the same time, and in an instant, a surging wave of killing intent emanated from them. But at this time, something unexpected happened!
An armor-piercing cone swished and flew past Zhang Gongjin's body, the speed was as fast as lightning, and it only took a blink of an eye to reach Chai Shao's body, and in Chai Shao's exclamation, the armor-piercing cone accurately drilled into his throat, pierced through his neck, and brought out a poignant and beautiful blood flower.
Zhang Gongjin and the others immediately looked back, but saw that Princess Li Huining of Pingyang was trembling, holding a hard bow in her hand and still maintaining the posture of opening the bow, her face was snow-white, and two lines of tears were dripping down her jaw uncontrollably.
