Chapter Forty-Eight: You'll Regret It
On the second day, the sun slowly rose, and a colorful morning came to the world with freshness. The morning sunshine is quiet and elegant, without any noise, which makes people feel calm and relaxed.
After Li Xuan and Zhao Meng washed up, they began to practice and meditate in the morning, while Wang Xiongba sat bored at the door of the camp tent, looking at Li Xuan and Zhao Meng for a while, and looking at the dense Jianghuai army outside the camp for a while. Suddenly, Wang Xiongba saw a gap open in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, and a group of people walked out of the gap. He couldn't help but stand up.
Under the escort of the Jianghuai Army, Fu Gongyou, who was dressed in the official uniform of the second grade of the Tang Dynasty, swaggered out of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array and entered Li Xuan's camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, Fu Gongyou saw Wang Xiongba trapped here. He sneered at Wang Xiongba: "Fish that slipped through the net? When I first killed Wang Xiong's birthday, I let you run away. Unexpectedly, today you fell into my hands again. Today, I'm in a good mood, I won't kill you, and when I raise an army, I'll take your sacrificial flag, so that Du Fuwei's remnants can see, and I will end up against my auxiliary father. Let them all understand that there is only one way to go against me, and that is death. ”
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Fu Gongyou and said, "It seems that you really killed Wang Xiongdan." Have you really decided to rebel? ”
Fu Gongyou said unusually arrogantly: "Yes, I killed Wang Xiongdan, who made him ignorant of current affairs." Rebellion, I'm doing it. I own the land of the thirty-six counties of Jianghuai, hundreds of thousands of Jianghuai elites, and nearly a million people, why should I surrender to Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty? Only Du Fuwei, a man with no ambitions, would do such a stupid thing. I want to compete with Li Yuan, look at the world, in the future, will I be surnamed Li or surnamed Fu? ”
Li Xuan warned: "You are playing with fire now, and you will definitely regret your actions today in the future." ”
"Regrets? How could I regret it? Jianghuai was brought down by Du Fuwei and me, how could I allow him to give it away without a fight? I have long wanted to fight with Datang, but Du Fuwei, the old thief, the cunning and cunning, has been suppressing me, so that I can't stretch. I waited patiently, and finally waited for that day, when the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court ordered Du Fuwei to enter Chang'an. I know that my opportunity has come, Jianghuai is mine, the entire Jianghuai army is also mine, I want to get the entire Jianghuai, I want to control the entire Jianghuai army, I want to fight Li Yuan to the death? I designed to seize Wang Xiongdan's military power and killed him, and I was actively preparing for the incident. But I didn't expect that a few days ago, I actually received a decree from Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, saying that you would come to Jianghuai to be the chief of the march of the Southeast Road. From this will, I knew my plan to rebel, but Li Yuan didn't know it. I am very grateful to Li Yuan for this great gift to me, the new King of Yong'an, the head of the march of the southeast road of the Tang Dynasty, the only son of the ghost talent Li Xiaoji, and the son of the Li royal family, if you are killed on the day of the incident, the morale of my Jianghuai army will definitely be greatly encouraged. I really have to thank Li Yuan. Hahahahaha. Fu Gongyou said.
Li Xuan was very depressed, but he still firmly said to Fu Gongyou: "You will regret it, you will definitely regret it." ”
After hearing this, instead of being angry, Fu Gongyou smiled. He looked at Li Xuan and the others with a smile, and said, "They are all children of rich families, you shouldn't have suffered anything." Well, I'll help you today, let you suffer a little and learn a lesson. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Li Xuan and the others and ordered, "Tie them up." ”
The sergeant of the Jianghuai Army, who guarded Fu Gongyou, tied up Li Xuan, Zhao Meng, Wang Xiongba and others like a wolf.
After being bound, Fu Gongyou ordered again: "Each of them will be rewarded with a pair of shackles." ”
Shackles, weighing 125 pounds, rectangular, made of fine iron, with round holes, after the two halves are closed, they are put on the neck, the head and hands are restricted from freedom, and the lower is equipped with shackles to restrict the feet.
Li Xuan's shackles were the heaviest of the shackles, and they were also specially worn for death row prisoners, and they were called "breathless". After putting on the shackles, people can only bend their bodies, and it is impossible to breathe for a long time, let alone stand up straight.
Fu Gongyou looked at Li Xuan, who was extremely uncomfortable, laughed, and then walked away.
Li Xuan stared at Fu Gongyou's departing back, and said with great difficulty: "You will... Regret it, you will definitely be... Regret it..."
At night, Li Xuan, who was huddled in the corner of the tent, suddenly stood up effortlessly, and the shackles weighing more than 100 catties on his body slipped down his clothes and fell lightly to the ground.
Everyone looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
Li Xuan's hand swept over the bodies of Zhao Meng, Wang Xiongba and others, and the heavy shackles on Zhao Meng, Wang Xiongba and others fell off silently and fell lightly to the ground.
Everyone thought it was incredible.
Li Xuan looked at the stunned crowd and said, "Fu Gongyou is indeed going to rebel, let's get ready to go." ”
Wang Xiongba asked in surprise, "Go?" Can you get out of here? Then why didn't you leave last night? ”
Li Xuan smiled faintly and said: "I didn't leave yesterday just so that today I want to confirm whether what you said is true, whether Wang Xiongdan was really killed, and whether Fu Gongyou really wants to rebel." Now that it has been confirmed, he does want to rebel. Trap me? I think that in this world, the place that can trap me should not have appeared. Early in the morning, I kept telling Fu Gongyou that he would regret it, and at that time he didn't care and didn't kill me, and I'm sure he would regret it when he knew that I escaped. ”
Wang Xiongba was speechless in surprise, and Zhao Meng asked in surprise: "Xuanzi, what kind of spell is this?" Is it a retreat? ”
Li Xuan was silent.
In later generations, in addition to the most superb illusion magicians, magicians also have one of the most magical magic categories - escape magicians. Like the big mutation that people often watch, iron cage escape, doppelganger, escape room, etc., all belong to this category.
For the thrill of the show, magicians often put themselves in various dangers, through all kinds of whimsical ideas, with a variety of skillful magic tricks, to escape from danger. Such as: the famous magician David in later generations. In just a few minutes, he not only broke free from the rope that bound him, but also escaped from the completely sealed house, and at the moment of the explosion, he found the right escape route, and finally escaped from the building without any problems.
Now, Fu Gongyou actually wanted to trap Li Xuan with these shackles with an extremely simple structure. Li Xuan couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
Li Xuan and the others packed up their belongings and gathered at the entrance of the big tent again.
Wang Xiongba asked Li Xuan respectfully, "My lord, what about the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array outside?" ”
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, someone will take us away." ”
Wang Xiongba exclaimed: "My lord, what a clever calculation. Could it be that there are still adults in the Jianghuai army outside the tent? ”
Li Xuan replied affirmatively: "No, but it will happen soon." ”
