Chapter 32: Life and Death

Li Longji didn't come out, it shouldn't be because he was afraid that he would be killed by Xue Chongxun, but now the result of this situation is doomed; Probably because he holds his own identity, after all, people who have been emperors are really a bit cheap to come out and meet people by themselves.

So there was nothing to say, and the cavalry of Yin Ci attacked in order, and the remnants of the manor were defeated and killed, and the captured were captured, and soon the place was disarmed. The army rushed in to search everywhere, arrested all the people inside, and then found Li Longji's location, the soldiers just stood at the door, and did not enter rashly, until Xue Chongxun personally ordered it...... The end of the road, but the pedigree is obvious, isn't it?

Xue Chongxun glanced up at the snowflakes fluttering in the air, and said, "Okay, after all, it's my cousin, go in and listen to what other last words he has." ”

He said that he handed the bloody barrier knife in his hand and the scabbard he took off to the house slave next to him, the knife was easy to rust if it was stained with blood, and the house slave had to be washed and oiled, and Xue Chongxun naturally did these things himself. He strode straight towards the door, surrounded by ironclad sergeants, and this ordinary villa suddenly became like a military plane, five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry.

As soon as Xue Chongxun walked into the yard, there was a sudden gust of wind, blowing the snow on the trees down, and the sky was full of white flowers, which made people have an illusion for a moment, as if it was not winter at this time, but in late spring, and there were white petals flying down.

"San Lang is inside, there is no one else." A general bowed down at the door of the room to report.

"Don't even have an entourage around?" Xue Chongxun asked casually.

The general said: "No, he is alone." ”

Xue Chongxun remembered that Li Longji made a mess of Jiangshan Sheji in his later years in the history books, and when he was old and desolate and lonely, when he was dying, he was accompanied by at least a loyal eunuch Gao Lishi...... He turned his head slightly, and now the eunuch Gao Lishi had been killed by himself outside.

He sighed lightly and said: "Pass the order, prepare some things, poison white silk short blade or something, by the way, a coffin, San Lang's body has to be transported back to Chang'an for burial." No matter what he did, as the Li Tang Sect's mausoleum, there would always be a tablet. ”

The general clasped his fists and said: "Yes, the last general will call someone to do it." ”

Xue Chongxun nodded, opened the curtain with one hand, and habitually wanted to lift the hem of the robe with the other, but grabbed the air and touched the cold iron sheet.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a hoarse voice say, "Da Lang is here, I know you will come." ”

Xue Chongxun followed the sound and looked up, only to see a man with a cloak and armor sitting on the couch due north, with a wine jug and a few cups on the table in front of him. Xue Chongxun was stunned, because the man's long hair was gray, just like an old man's hair...... But he soon recognized that this person was Li Longji, although he and Li Longji did not meet often, but his cousin could still recognize him at a glance.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun believed that the rumors of a night of gray hair in the world were indeed true.

"Haha......" Li Longji suddenly shook his head and laughed, his messy hair fluttered up gently, reflecting his handsome face, like a crazy student who had never met a talent. But the sadness between the eyebrows was so obvious, it made Xue Chongxun feel slightly sad in his heart.

Yao remembers that a few years ago, when I saw this prince in Chang'an, he was heroic between his sword eyebrows, and there was a breathtaking gaze in his calm and keen eyes. Where has it gone now?

To tell the truth, Li Longji is Xue Chongxun's old enemy, but Xue Chongxun feels that this person is awesome, whether it is appearance, temperament or cultivation and knowledge, he is a first-class person in this era...... Capable people, cattle people, once invincible world-famous people who carried the hopes of the world, the end is just like this, Xue Chongxun suddenly gave birth to a sad spring and autumn that seemed to be sympathetic, and suddenly a little depressed, but that's it.

recalled that he had done all kinds of evil things that hurt nature and reason and had no moral integrity in order to put his death on the line, and now that this matter has finally come to the last step, Xue Chongxun does not have much sense of accomplishment...... Li Longji is related to himself, his cousin, how much hatred does he have? But the fact is that Xue Chongxun ruined their family, and now there is no one left, only Li Dan is left to practice the so-called Tao in the Taoist temple.

What exactly is this qiē for? However, Xue Chongxun only felt a little sad, and there was not much unhappiness. Compared with experiencing the tragedy of his own family's ruin, watching the tragedy of others, his mother's is obviously a very pleasant thing.

Suddenly, Li Longji stopped laughing, and said with a condensed expression: "You still don't salute when you see me?" ”

Xue Chongxun was stunned, then clenched his fists and bent down and said, "Your Majesty has no borders." He was expressionless, not much mocking, and not smiling.

But Li Longji suddenly sneered and said, "Ridiculous or pathetic? ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Since San Lang wants to hear it, I have always been reluctant to sweep other people's interest...... However, two years ago, the victory or defeat was unpredictable, and San Lang really almost controlled the world, and I was a little afraid when I recalled it; But this time it's not so thrilling, and you don't have much chance of winning when you start fighting. ”

Li Longji didn't say anything, and after going crazy, he fell silent. Xue Chongxun asked, "If my cousin has anything else to say, I'll listen to it." ”

"Cousin?" Li Longji sneered, shook his head and said, "I thought there should be a lot to say, but suddenly I felt that there was nothing to say." Now I think about the following things the most, I don't know if I can see the eldest brother and the second brother...... It's time for the five of us brothers to get together. ”

Xue Chongxun listened silently.

Li Longji sighed, didn't say anything, reached out and picked up the wine jug, and then poured a full glass of wine into the glass.

Xue Chongxun suddenly asked, "Wine is poisonous?" ”

Li Longji nodded indifferently: "So I won't invite you to drink." I don't know what he thinks is funny about this sentence, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he picked up the wine glass and slowly approached his mouth, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say, "That's it?" ”

"What else?" Li Longji raised his head and drank it all.

Xue Chongxun silently looked at his face, standing motionless, as if waiting for him to have a toxic attack. After a while, I saw that Li Longji had a reaction, his fists were just clenched, his face showed a look of pain, and a wisp of blood soaked out of the corner of his mouth.

Going to die, Xue Chongxun lowered his head dejectedly.

At this moment, suddenly Li Longji said slowly: "Do you stand and die in a dignified manner, or do you kneel and steal your life?" ”

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, pondering this sentence suspiciously: Did he mean that he had realized defeat before he raised the army? The reason why you want to gamble is like dying vigorously? Nearly 100,000 Tang troops fought a civil war south of the Yellow River, and the national strength was consumed.

When he was about to ask Li Longji if this was what he meant, he found that he was already crooked on the couch, as if he was dead.

Xue Chongxun took a few steps forward, poked his nose, unfastened his armor and pressed it to his chest for a while, except that it was still a little warm, and his heartbeat was gone.

"Someone." Xue Chongxun turned around and shouted.

A general walked in and hugged his fists and said, "What does the prince command?" ”

"When the coffin is ready, wash his body and change his clothes." Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said, "Go and get the flag with the national name." ”

After a while, the general came in with a folded pennant. Xue Chongxun took it and shook it open, only to see the word "Tang" on it. He unfolded it and lightly covered Li Longji's body, turned around and walked out.

When he walked out of the door, he found that it was completely dark, so Xue Chongxun simply stayed in this village with Zhang Wulang and other subordinates for one night.

When I woke up the next morning, the war was almost over, and it was difficult to have any more scenes of fighting. Xue Chongxun thought that after the victory, he wanted to bloody the enemy in Luoyang and slaughter the people of Li Longji's party to vent his anger, but he really thought that he had won, and he suddenly felt that there was no need. He ordered: prohibit indiscriminate killing, and escort Chang'an to the Ministry of Justice for punishment at the sight of the criminal; The deeds of the criminals were found out and registered, and the files were sent to Dali Temple.

The generals began to assemble armies on all sides, preparing to open Luoyang to restore control over the rebel-occupied areas. While Xue Chongxun was waiting, he suddenly remembered a trivial matter, so he found Yu Wenxiao and said: "Ask someone to check if there is anyone named Jiang Changqing among the captive officials and staff." ”

Who is Jiang Changqing? At the beginning, Xue Chongxun sent Princess Jincheng and his relatives to the meeting, but when he ran away in trouble, when he ran to the border of Longyou Langzhou, he was unlucky to meet this guy who was Li Longji's old party, so he plotted against Xue Chongxun and almost lost his life.

Xue Chongxun believes that every qiē has to be returned, you want to get Lao Tzu dead, Lao Tzu and you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?

Soon Yuwenxiao replied that there was indeed such a person, and Xue Chongxun ordered: "Find out the origin of this person's family, called Zhang Wulang...... Let Yin quit and assist Yuwen Gong to destroy them all! ”

Yu Wenxiao didn't ask much about what the goods and Xue Chongxun had to do, he said without any pressure: "Xue Lang, rest assured, it is a trivial matter to destroy several families in this chaotic situation now, and it was originally Li Longji's henchmen. ”

Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said, "Cui Ri used their family's people to recruit troops and horses in the local area, and also participated in the rebellion. The Cui family, those who married the Cui family, all the men were killed, and the grass and roots were cut to save me trouble in the future. ”

Sometimes killing people is so simple that a single sentence can mean the lives of hundreds of people. That Cui Riyong was born in a big family in Henan, and his connections and relatives are very wide, and he said "kill them all", except for the slaves, even if he is a man with blood, it is impossible without hundreds of people. What's more, once the people below start to do it, whoever has time to check one by one, most of the innocent people will be implicated and die in vain.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops have just gone through a big war, and they can have any reason to bloody a certain henchman of Li Longji, and there is no one to speak to at all, who dares to speak for the rebels, could it be that you had any secret dealings with them before? G
