readx; Li Yu allowed the farmers of Huangzhuang to harvest wheat for the sake of fame, but the eldest grandson Quanxu was quite nervous, Li Yu repeatedly told him that he must strengthen his precautions, he knew that the saint had offended too many people for the restructuring of the acres, these magnates were willing to give up, they would definitely use various opportunities to deal with Li Yu, and Li Yu came to Huangzhuang to inspect, this was his first foreign tour since he ascended the throne, and this was an opportunity for those powerful people who hated him to the bone.

The eldest grandson Quanxu did not dare to be careless, he strengthened the sentry, did not allow the peasants to enter the wall within 100 steps to cut wheat, and ordered all the royal forest soldiers not to sleep at night, and strictly protect the safety of the Huangzhuang Mansion.

That's it, the eldest grandson Quanxu was still not at ease, and he sent more than a dozen cavalry teams to inspect the vicinity of Huangzhuang.

The time has gradually come to a watch, but the farmers in the wheat field are still struggling to harvest, it seems, they are ready to stay up all night to fight, there is no movement for several hours, the eldest grandson Quanxu is also a little slack, he sits on the couch and keeps dozing, at this moment, there is a rush of running outside, and the eldest grandson Quanxu is awakened at once.

"What's the matter?" He asked, a little unhappily.

"General Eldest Sun, there is a little abnormality in the wheat field."

"What anomaly? Come in and talk. ”

Walking into a sergeant, he bowed and saluted: "More than two hours ago, the sentry found that there was a large group of people harvesting wheat in the wheat field on the east side of the Huangzhuang, but after two hours, the group of people was still harvesting wheat in the same place, but the problem was that the wheat field they harvested did not increase. ”

The eldest grandson Quanxu is also a little strange, what are these people doing without collecting wheat? What are you doing when you get together in the middle of the night?

"Prepare a horse for me, I'll see it myself."

....... In the night, Li Chengning and his men were still waiting for an opportunity, but they didn't realize that they had been noticed by the sentry inside the wall, just as they could see the figure swaying in the watchtower, the sentry could also see someone cutting wheat in the wheat field.

Maybe Li Chengning was a little nervous, he didn't realize that they had a loophole, he was still waiting, Lin Sheng's intelligence told him that there would be a big patrol during the two watches, and about a thousand soldiers would go out of the Huangzhuang Pavilion to inspect, and there were only two thousand soldiers left in the building at that time, and Li Chengning was waiting for this moment.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that someone was coming this way, and they saw a group of soldiers coming towards them, led by a horse general, who stopped when they were still a hundred paces away.

"Who are you?"

Li Chengning was so nervous that his heart was pounding, his hand pinched the barrel of the gun and was about to sweat, he heard this voice, it turned out to be the eldest grandson Quanxu, he gave his subordinates beside him a look, and his subordinates immediately replied: "I am a villager who cuts wheat in Wang Wuzhuang, and this wheat field is our land." ”

In the dark, Changsun Quanxu couldn't see their appearance clearly, plus most of the people were hidden in the wheat waves, and the ears of wheat blocked their clothes, but Changsun Quanxu still saw the problem, other villages were all men, women and children, and this side was full of men, and they seemed to be all strong.

He became more and more suspicious in his heart, so he said to his soldiers: "Go up and have a look!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over along Tiankan, and Li Chengning knew that they had been exposed, so he said with a heart: "Prepare to use arrows!" ”

The two hundred crossbowmen slowly tightened their bows, and the soldiers got closer and closer, only thirty paces away from them, "General, it's not right! ”

One of the soldiers found their weapon, and Li Chengning shouted, "Shoot! ”

Two hundred bows and crossbows were raised on the ground, aimed at the soldiers and the eldest grandson Quanxu a hundred steps away, the crossbow arrows shot together, the powerful crossbow arrows passed through the wheat waves, and two hundred arrows swished towards each other, more than a dozen soldiers were caught off guard, all screamed and fell to the ground, the eldest grandson Quanxu was taken aback, he instinctively lay on the horse, dodged two arrows that wanted his life, but his war horse did not dodge, was shot by three arrows at the same time, the war horse neighed, fell sideways, and threw the eldest grandson Quanxu into the wheat field, the three hundred men brought by the eldest grandson Quanxu were also hit by arrows one after another, Screams rang out.

"Up! Kill them. ”

Li Chengning shouted loudly, rushed forward with a spear, and his five hundred men also rushed up, at this time, the piercing bell on the watchtower sounded, "There are assassins!" There are assassins! The sentry was shouting.

The eldest grandson Quanxu got up from the wheat field, the thick wheat wave saved his surname, but his ear was pierced by an arrow, and the blood flowed, he had never suffered such a big loss, and he couldn't help but be angry, but soon he woke up, this is an assassin, it is the saint who wants to assassinate, not his eldest grandson Quanxu, if he dies here, who will command the Yulin army to defend?

"Not good! Immediately withdraw to the Imperial Village. ”

The eldest grandson Quanxu turned around and ran, these black-clothed people are strong in martial arts, they must be selected killers, if they are allowed to sneak into the imperial village, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it is important to protect the saint!

He didn't care about his image, so he ran away, and his subordinates also ran desperately with him, Li Chengning saw these soldiers running fast, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Run like a rabbit!" ”

"Don't chase it, go over the wall and enter the village!"

He gave an order, five hundred dead soldiers rushed to the high wall of Huangzhuang, the wall of the Huangzhuang pavilion is about three zhang high, thick and wide, the wall is very smooth, it is difficult to climb, but these men in black have been specially trained, they took out the hook, one after another threw on the wall, the iron hook hooked the wall, five hundred men in black like apes, dexterously jumped on the wall, arrows rained down, the soldiers of the Yulin Army who were ambushed in the high wall had already prepared, they had sentry posts at the four corners, at present only the east had assassins, and the Yulin Army ambushed two thousand heavy soldiers, waiting for the arrival of the assassins, while the other thousand people protected the Peony Tower.

The people in black are a little underestimated, in the eyes of the general Chang'an people, the Yulin Army is a famous family, brightly dressed, tall and large, just a good-looking honor guard, but in fact, one by one is like a straw bag, only know how to look for flowers and ask willows, and really fight, it is extremely rotten, in the era of Li Longji, this has almost become the consensus of Chang'an people, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Li Yu's Yulin Army is different, part of his Yulin Army is the Shuo Fang Army, when the eldest Sun Quanxu controlled part of the Shuo Fang Army in the Qinggangling camp, these Shuo Fang Army later joined the Yulin Army and the Ten Thousand Cavalry Battalion, this time the East Tour, Li Yu does not like extravagance, at most only three thousand people are allowed, Li Yu suggested that the eldest Sun Quanxu choose elite guards, so these three thousand Yulin Army is not the so-called famous children, all of them are the elite of the Shuo Fang Army of the year, and the weapons they bring are also practical killing weapons.

The man in black didn't expect the rain of arrows of the Yulin Army to be so powerful, and more than forty people were killed and injured for a while, and they fell from the wall screaming, and the rest of the people were suppressed and jumped back to the wheat field one after another.

At this time, Li Chengning also calmed down, he remembered the corresponding plan he had planned, if he was discovered, he would disperse and enter, and he immediately ordered: "Disperse, enter from all sides, target Peony Tower." ”

Five hundred people have been divided into ten teams in advance, each team of fifty people, each has a team, the task is also assigned in advance, seeing that the strong attack is unfavorable, five hundred people immediately dispersed, from four directions over the wall into the hospital, this time their attack has an effect, the Yulin army to disperse to deal with them, the rain of arrows is not as dense as just now, there are constantly people in black jumped into the compound, and the Yulin soldiers fought fiercely, someone ignited the hay pile, and suddenly the fire soared.

The sound of killing was loud in the Huangzhuang building, there was a fire, the sound was transmitted to ten miles away, the farmers who cut the wheat had already fled back to the village in fright, and there was no one in the endless wheat field, but in the west of the building, ten miles away on the official road, there was a black oppressive army, which stretched for several miles, and was the first general, it was Meng Yun, the general of Jin Wuwei, who betrayed Li Qing'an in Hexi, and was reused by Li Yu, and now he has become the strongest general in Chang'an, and the most troops in his hands.

Meng Yun looked at the pavilion with cold eyes, and did not react at all when he rode on the horse, it seemed that Li Yu's life and death had nothing to do with him, at this time, a horse slowly stepped forward, and immediately it was a middle-aged man in a green robe, and the moonlight shone on his face, it was the Emperor Li Heng.

When Meng Yun saw him come up, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, Li Heng waved his hand, ordering him not to be polite, he stared for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think they will succeed?" ”

Meng Yun shook his head, "The three thousand Yulin army brought by the eldest grandson Quanxu this time are all Shuo Fang elites and have strong combat effectiveness, and these assassins are not armies, although they seem to be strong in martial arts, but in fact, they are a rabble, they don't know tactics, they don't know discipline, they only rely on one bravery, although this kind of person is brave for a while, but it can't last, and it will inevitably collapse after the sharp spirit is frustrated. ”

Li Heng smiled slightly: "General Meng is worthy of being a veteran, he can see through and have a long-term vision!" ”

Meng Yun's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "The emperor has won the award, and he is ashamed of his humble position!" ”

Li Heng nodded and said approvingly: "General Meng doesn't have to be too humble, even Li Qing'an has suffered a big loss at your hands, and he is still haunted by it, which shows that General Meng's ability is superhuman, I can't be mistaken, please rest assured General Meng, my promise will definitely be fulfilled!" ”

Although Meng Yun was ashamed of Li Yu, as soon as he thought of the promise Li Heng gave him, his heart was boiling, and he forgot about any loyalty and righteousness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to serve the emperor!" ”

Li Heng's eyes narrowed with laughter, Wang Heng's counter-plot was really powerful, if he didn't transfer this Meng Yun back to Beijing, he really wouldn't be able to make a big deal.

"Then let's calm down and take a look again, and when our time comes, we will take the stage again."

Li Heng's eyes once again looked at the fire-lit Huangzhuang Courtyard, his eyes contained a complex feeling, maybe he still had a trace of unbearable, but as those firelights transformed into the supreme throne in his eyes, and transformed into the seat he longed for, the trace of unbearability in his eyes also disappeared, becoming a kind of cruelty and ruthlessness, he muttered in his heart: "You can't blame me, you said that you were willing to give up the throne to me, but you didn't do it..."

Behind him, Meng Yun looked at Li Heng's slightly thin shoulders, and he sighed in his heart, the love between father and son would become so thin and vulnerable in front of the throne, it seems that not everyone can aspire to that position, at least he Meng Yun can't do it, he can only sigh, at this time, Li Heng turned around and said: "General Meng, the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, I will not appear again." ”

"Emperor Taishang rest assured, our plan is seamless, the eldest grandson Quanxu is a smart person, he knows what he should say and what he should not say."

Li Heng nodded slightly, he slowly retreated to the flag, the shadow of the banner covered him, and his whole person seemed to disappear.

...... The 50,000 army quietly entered the wheat field and drove towards the Huangzhuang Pavilion, and in a moment, the black army surrounded the Huangzhuang Pavilion, Meng Yun did not order an attack, but just surrounded, he was waiting for the last moment.

The fierce battle within the walls of Huangzhuang is in full swing, just as Meng Yun's analysis, although these black-clothed people are strong in personal martial arts, they lack cooperation, they all fight separately, and although the Yulin Army is slightly weaker in martial arts, they cooperate tacitly, make up for their weaknesses, and even have a draw with the black-clothed people, plus they are three times as many as each other, the bow and arrow are sharp, and the black-clothed clothes are beginning to be a little unbearable, more than thirty black-clothed assassins who have rushed to the vicinity of the Peony Tower were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and after several rushes, they divided the bodies of these twenty people. None survived.

The lights on the Peony Tower were all extinguished, and Li Yu's more than 100 guards surrounded the small building, as if facing a great enemy, Li Yu himself stood sideways behind the window, watching the battle in the distance, he was more concerned about the residence of Li Yu and Li Yan, they lived in the Furong Building, about 100 steps away from the Peony Building, closer to the battlefield, more than 200 soldiers surrounded the Furong Building, and effectively contained the attack of the assassins.

As the assassins' attack was blocked by the soldiers, the anger in Li Yu's heart slowly began to ignite, of course he knew who sent these assassins, those damn bastards actually used such despicable means to deal with him, Li Yu couldn't help but sneer, it's okay! These stupid people gave him the best excuse, and he could use thunderous means to raid his house and land.

At this time, Yao Shilang brought a bowl of chilled bird's nest porridge, this is a habit of Li Yu's life, every day in the middle of the night to wake up, he has to drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Li Yu nodded, pointed to the table, ordered him to put the bird's nest porridge on his table, he has no appetite now, Yao Shilang put down the bird's nest porridge, then retreated, still standing by the wall, suddenly, there was a fierce footstep at the staircase, and the guard guarding the staircase shouted: "What person?" ”

I only heard a soldier say in a loud voice: "General Changsun ordered me to report to the Holy Lord, General Meng Yun led an army of 50,000 to come, General Meng Yun said that he received the news that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the Holy Lord, so he rushed to escort him." ”

This news made Li Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he felt that something was wrong, without his warrant and gold medal, how could Meng Yun dare to send troops without authorization? This is not a trivial matter, this is related to the ownership of military power, Li Yu was very unhappy in his heart, to put it seriously, this is a rebellion, but it can be said that he rebelled, and there is no reason, even if he is to save the driver, he will severely punish Meng Yun, this is a matter of principle, he must not tolerate any general to send troops without authorization, not once.

But his heart relaxed, the arrival of 50,000 troops meant that this assassination was a complete failure, he tried his best to look into the distance, but in the dark, he couldn't see the situation outside the Huangzhuang, Li Yu smiled as tolerantly as possible, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down, he casually took the bird's nest porridge, the white porcelain jade bowl was still cold, particularly refreshing in the hot summer night, he was in a good mood, so he ate the bird's nest porridge with a small spoon one bite at a time, by the wall, Yao Shilang's pupils contracted sharply into a line, he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, his legs were trembling, and his upper and lower teeth were clattering.

"Shiro, what are you afraid of?" Li Yu noticed his abnormality and asked with a smile.

"Minions.... Minions are afraid of assassins. Yao Shilang couldn't speak clearly.

"Useless thing, these assassins are just clowns, do you think I'm so easy to be assassinated?"

Li Yu smiled contemptuously, drank the last spoonful of bird's nest, nodded and said, "Hmm! Today's bird's nest is good, although the taste is a little wrong, but it is well chilled, and I drink it very happily. ”

"Your Majesty, would you like another bowl?"

"No need, I will feel uncomfortable in my stomach if I eat too much."

Li Yu put the bowl aside, took a book of folds casually, but put it down again, the room was not lit, nothing could be done at all, he couldn't help sighing, "When will I light the lamp?" ”

...... The battle in the hall is almost over, although the five hundred black-clothed assassins have done their best, but the three thousand Feather Forest Army is like an iron wall, they can't break through no matter what, which makes them frustrated, at this time the black-clothed people have been killed and wounded, many people have changed their goals, and began to break through to the outside, but the breakthrough is just as difficult, as long as they are separated from the Yulin Army, the rain of arrows will come like flying locusts, and dozens of people have been shot dead under the wall.

Li Chengning also became more and more desperate the more he fought, the information his eldest brother gave him was not right, these Yulin troops were not the sons of the people who were defeated in a battle, but fierce and strong frontier soldiers, all of them were not afraid of death, so that their assassination could not be successful, Li Chengning was already sweating profusely, he tried his best to get rid of the entanglement of several soldiers, and quickly retreated to the back, he found that less than 200 of the five hundred people were left to fight hard, and the others were dead or fleeing, and the corpses were all over the ground, Li Chengning felt a burst of despair in his heart, his failure was not only the failure of the assassination, His clan and family were about to face a massive purge, and he felt remorseful but unable to do anything about it.

Li Chengning suddenly yelled, "Withdraw!" ”

He took the lead in turning around and fled, letting the people behind him resist the arrows for him, as the leader fled first, the men in black turned around and ran wildly, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than the arrows of the Yulin Army, in an instant, the arrows were like a torrential rain, nearly a hundred people screamed and fell, only dozens of people crossed the high wall, the Yulin Army was eager to catch up, but the eldest grandson Quanxu waved his hand and drank the soldiers, "Don't chase!" ”

He had already received the news that tens of thousands of southern troops had surrounded the Huangzhuang Pavilion outside, and these assassins could not escape, but the eldest grandson Quanxu's heart was also full of dissatisfaction with the southern army, and the southern army was only surrounded outside, but refused to come in to rescue, even if the Yulin army could suppress the assassins, then what was the point of them coming? And there were 50,000 troops, which made Changsun Quanxu's heart full of confusion, is the 50,000 army really here to deal with a hundred and ten assassins?

......'Whoa!' Dozens of books were overturned and scattered all over the ground, the severe pain in his abdomen made Li Yu unbearable, he bent down to support the table, large beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and his face was very pale.

The two eunuchs in the room were so frightened that they hurriedly supported him, "Your Majesty! It doesn't matter! ”

"Hurry up and send me the imperial doctor, go quickly!"

A eunuch ran away and shouted, "The royal doctor is coming!" Something happened to Your Majesty. ”

At this time, Li Yu had already realized that this was not caused by eating cold bird's nest porridge, and his intuition told him that he might have been poisoned, 'Poison! How could he be poisoned, Li Yu suddenly thought of something, looked at Yao Shilang with his eyes, and saw Yao Shilang standing by the wall, trembling with fright, they told him that this medicine would not attack until three days, and then he could escape calmly, but now..... He was already so frightened that he was almost unable to stand on his feet, Li Yu saw the kind of fear in his eyes that only came after the crime, he suddenly understood, staggered and pounced, and choked Yao Shilang's throat with his palm, and blood was about to drip from his eyes.

"It's you! You did it! ”

"Your Majesty, minions.... Minion! ”

Yao Shilang was strangled and out of breath, his white ball-like eyes bulged outward, and the severe pain made Li Yu almost unable to control himself, his face had begun to distort, and he asked fiercely: "You say, is it... Who told you to do it. ”

"It's Taishang... Emperor. Yao Shilang struggled desperately, squeezing out these four words in his throat, he found out the origin of the five thousand yuan in Wang Baoji's cabinet, and found out the real murderer who wanted to poison the saint, this was originally a kind of self-protection for him, but now it is meaningless.

"Ahh

Li Yu took a few steps back, as if he had been struck by lightning, and at this moment the pain in his abdomen disappeared, turning into a deeper pain, a kind of burning fire like pain, and he felt that his internal organs were about to be burned and melted.

But the truth brought him another unbearable pain, it was his father, it was his father who wanted to kill him, his consciousness began to blur, his eyes, ears and nostrils were bleeding, he threw himself in front of the window, staring blankly into the distance, tears and blood mixed together, at the last moment of his life, he was in a clear state of mind, and finally understood that Meng Yun had betrayed him, and his father must be in the army at this moment.

"Father!" He uttered the last words hoarsely, and fell limply against the window.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The eldest grandson Quanxu rushed up, he came to check the situation of the saint, and just heard Li Yu's shout, and a large group of guards also rushed up to the third floor, they all heard the shout of the saint in front of the window, and they all realized that something was wrong, at this time, the eldest grandson Quanxu stopped, he slowly, held his breath, stepped forward step by step, and was extremely scared in his heart.

He trembled and touched Li Yu's mouth and nose, and suddenly, he trembled all over, 'Plop! He fell to his knees and cried out in sorrow, "Your Majesty! ”
