Chapter 698: Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity
After cutting down Song Kun, a rebel minister, Li Longji could be regarded as having a bad breath in his chest, and after being praised by the ministers, his mood was already much better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing what Yang Guozhong said at this time, Li Longji suddenly frowned.
The traitor was robbed, this has always been a problem for Li Longji, after all, the other party is an organization that almost subverted the Tang Dynasty, especially in the past two days when the traitor was robbed, Li Longji simply couldn't sleep.
"Li Aiqing, I am very pleased that you can find out the truth about your righteous daughter's murder and find out the thief in such a short period of time. However, as Yang Aiqing said, it was you who promised me to catch the traitor in two days, and now it's time for you to give me an explanation, right? Li Longji asked lightly.
"Your Majesty, please give the minister a little time, and the minister will definitely give His Majesty an explanation." Li Canghai bowed and said.
Yang Guozhong's eyes rolled and he said righteously: "Lord Li, the time limit is two days, but you promised in person, since you failed to catch the thief's head, you are guilty of the grace of the saint!" ”
Li Longji frowned and asked, "Li Aiqing, what Guozhong said is very true. At the beginning, you should have given two days to catch the thief, but now that the time limit has expired, you have not been able to catch the thief's head, what do you think I should do with you? ”
The corners of Yang Guozhong's mouth hooked up a smile, now there is still half a quarter of an hour before the hour, no matter how powerful Li Canghai is, it is impossible to catch the robbed rebel at this time.
Cui Jian and others even pinched a cold sweat for Li Canghai, and now, the situation is very clear.
Although Li Canghai solved the first two things, he did not catch the rebel who was robbed.
According to his agreement with the emperor, Zi Shi failed to complete three things before, and he and Chen Ang, who was in charge of the escort, had only a dead end.
Now that the time is approaching, there is no traitor caught by Li Canghai, no matter what, Li Canghai will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
What made everyone strange was that although the knife was already on his neck, Li Canghai's face was unusually calm.
"Li Canghai, what else do you have to say now?" The corners of Yang Guozhong's mouth raised a smug sneer, and he asked leisurely.
Li Canghai still looked calm, but he didn't even bother to look at him, and said lightly: "How does Lord Yang know that I didn't catch the thief?" ”
When Yang Guozhong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
He stared at Li Canghai tightly, his eyes full of doubt.
To be honest, he didn't believe that Li Canghai had caught the thief.
Because from beginning to end, Li Canghai was under his surveillance.
Although Li Canghai could use the official to deliver news to Conan and ask him to investigate the thieves in the court, there was a premise for this, that is, there were people available to him in this Chang'an City.
It's different when dealing with 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu'.
First of all, the hiding place of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' was very hidden, and Yang Guozhong did not believe that Li Canghai would be able to find out the hiding place of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' in such a short period of time.
Secondly, even if you find out where they are hiding, you will need a large team of men to deal with them.
And almost the entire Chang'an City is under his control, as far as he knows, in the past two days, he has not seen a large group of people dispatched.
But Li Canghai was so confident, but it made him a little suspicious in his heart.
Li Longji's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Oh? In this way, Aiqing really caught the thief? ”
Li Canghai saluted Li Longji and said calmly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the head of the thief has not been robbed. ”
"What? The head of the thief was not robbed? Who is the thief who robs him? Li Longji was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief.
Not only Li Longji, but everyone was slightly stunned.
Yang Guozhong was even more like a lightning strike, and stayed on the spot.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister calculated early on that the traitor would try his best to rob the prisoner, and secretly transferred the thief leader to the Jianning Palace. Sure enough, the traitors colluded with the courtiers and implemented a series of plans. The minister did not intend to hide from His Majesty, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins! Li Canghai bowed his head and said.
Li Longji was a little dazed, he stroked his beard, frowned, and said, "I'm a little confused, what's going on?" Are you saying that the prisoner car that the thief hijacked was not actually the head of the thief? ”
Li Canghai nodded and said, "Actually, when the minister came back from Silla, he encountered a traitor who tried to rob the prisoner, but he was broken by the minister's false plan. After that, although the minister imprisoned the thief leader in the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, he was still a little uneasy. Therefore, before His Majesty ordered the head of the thief to be handed over to Long Wuwei, the minister took the head of the thief secretly to the palace of Jianning for detention without permission. ”
"In that case, who is the one who was robbed?" Li Longji asked suspiciously.
"Back to Your Majesty, the person who was robbed is Lu Jitong, the secret guard of the dragon." Li Canghai replied.
Li Longji only understood at this time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said approvingly: "Ming Xiu plank road, secretly cross Chen Cang." Wonderful! Wonderful! This kind of clever plan can really only be thought of by Li Aiqing, no wonder you are full of confidence to respond to the three things I said, it turns out that you have no fear! ”
When Li Canghai heard this, he knelt down and said, "The minister did not intend to deceive His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive him!" ”
Li Longji waved his hand and said happily: "Hey, Aiqing is flat." If it weren't for Aiqing, this traitor would have been robbed long ago. You can anticipate the enemy's opportunity and make arrangements early, which is very comforting! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Li Canghai thanked him, he stood up.
At this time, the ministers suddenly realized that they praised Li Canghai one after another.
And Yang Guozhong had a gloomy face and was furious in his heart.
It wasn't until now that he knew that his every move with the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' was actually in Li Canghai's calculations.
What they had always thought was a seamless plan was now a joke.
Only then did he understand that he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Li Canghai, and Li Canghai was also using this opportunity to deal with him.
It can be said that from the beginning, it was a trap.
It's just that what Yang Guozhong didn't expect even more was that Li Canghai wanted to deal with him alone?
Just then, a guard hurriedly ran in.
"Your Majesty, King Jianning is now outside the mansion with a team of guards to ask for a meeting."
"Hustle!" Li Longji said.
After a while, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, took Lu Jitong and Feng Changqing to the courtyard with several people with iron chains on their bodies.
"Your Majesty!" Li Qi and the others knelt down and saluted.
Li Longji saw that Li Qi was dressed in military uniform, as if he had experienced a big battle, and he was a little puzzled, so he waved his hand to let everyone get up and speak.
"You'er, why are you wearing a military uniform? Who are these people? Li Longji pointed to the people who were bound by iron chains and asked.
Li Qi and Li Canghai glanced at each other, the two nodded tacitly, and Li Qi bowed his head and said: "Grandpa Huihuang, these people are the remnants of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' who hijacked the prisoner car. (To be continued.) )
