The sword pierced Li Jiancheng's chest!

That hideous face, close at hand, makes people palpitate.

……

"Whew!"

Li Shimin woke up from his dream abruptly and sat up, surrounded by darkness, and could not hear any sound except for the rapid heartbeat like a war drum.

"Another nightmare?" The eldest grandson likes to sleep on Li Shimin's arm, and Li Shimin's little habit of his beloved wife is satisfied again and again. He woke up like this, and it was inevitable that he would wake up the sleeping eldest grandson. There were no five fingers around him, but the eldest grandson seemed to be able to see through Li Shimin's thoughts.

"yes!" Li Shimin sighed, only then did he realize that he was soaking wet, his underwear could wring out water, and beads of sweat flowed from his cheeks, and he paused and said: "I had a dream of killing my eldest brother with my own hands...... Something scary. Ever since he secretly informed Li Yuan of Li Jiancheng's recruitment of private soldiers in an anonymous letter, the first step of the plan, he had often had terrible nightmares. Today, I directly dreamed that I stabbed Li Jiancheng to death with a sword.

The eldest grandson didn't get up to light the lamp, but in this darkness, he wiped the sweat on Li Shimin's face with a silk handkerchief, and said softly: "As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night." It is also said that dreams are illusory, and they should be seen in reverse. Your Highness is beware that there will be a day when this dream will be born. As long as His Royal Highness has no intention of killing the prince, the prince will not be in danger. His Royal Highness thinks it is terrible, is it because His Royal Highness really has the heart to kill the prince? ”

The eldest grandson didn't seem to be able to hold his mouth, and he could say anything, but he actually knew Li Shimin too well. knew that he had no intention of killing Li Jiancheng.

"No!" Li Shimin shook his head with certainty and said: "I don't mean to kill my eldest brother again, but I am unwilling, he has the advantage of being born ten years earlier than me." Sit on the throne of the crown prince. Obviously, my credit is greater, and it is obviously me who is more suitable for that position. ”

The eldest grandson whispered comfortingly: "That's it, Your Highness hasn't done anything wrong. If the prince did not make a mistake, did not recruit private soldiers, did not hide soldiers outside, and did not violate the bottom line of being a prince. How can this be the case? It is because the crown prince has been in the first place, and what His Royal Highness has done is nothing more than exposing the prince's faults. That's all. Abolishing the crown prince or not is still the father's business, with the character of the father, even if the prince hides troops and leaks the matter outside. And they won't kill him. ”

Li Shimin was also a big peace in his heart, thinking about the upcoming plan, and a little excitement also emerged: Although Li Jiancheng's recruitment of 2,000 private soldiers with the respect of the crown prince did not exceed Li Yuan's bottom line, it also aroused his anger. Although Li Yuan forgave Li Jiancheng. acquiesced in the existence of the two thousand Changlin Army, but it also gave him a bad image. As long as Li Jiancheng raises foreign soldiers, he will definitely surpass Li Yuan's bottom line. At that time, he also got his wish to obtain the crown prince.

As for the disposal of Li Jiancheng, it is as he said. He has never had the intention of killing Li Jiancheng, and his heart is as conceited as others, as long as he takes the initiative and obtains the position of prince. With his strength and prestige in the military, coupled with the prince's political status. is not afraid of the threat that Li Jiancheng brought to him.

It turns out that he and Li Jiancheng are both naïve, and their idea of not killing is really because each other has not really started a cruel battle for succession. Once you go deep into it, you will find that in the face of the temptation of power, family affection or something is a floating cloud.

**********

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, when Tu Ferry.

Situ Hurt stared at the strange middle-aged man and the old woman not far away, although he didn't recognize these two, he was eighty percent sure that the two were Hou Jie and his mother.

Although Dou Pingrong's disguise technique is unparalleled in the world, there is still no way to hide individual characteristics, such as Hou Jie's long ape-like arms and arched back, unless his arm is cut off and his spine is broken, otherwise no matter how clever the disguise technique is, this physical characteristic cannot be changed.

As Luo Shixin expected, although Situ injured Pei Qingyi because of his only son, he did not recklessly seek revenge on Pei Qingyi. A killer first learns to be calm, and he must remain calm at all times, even if his son dies tragically.

Pei Qingyi has the connections of bearded customers, and he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he also has many friends who can take care of each other. Compared to the number of people in the group, they killers do not have an advantage. The pursuit was so urgent, just pretending to be impatient for revenge, which made Pei Qingyi chaotic under fear.

Pei Qingyi can't always be under the protection of friends in the rivers and lakes, and there will be opportunities sooner or later.

Situ had been waiting for that opportunity, but things were unexpected. Because of the battle between the Tang Army and the Jianghuai Army, they completely broke off the news with Dangtu. Then I received news from Funiu Mountain, the old nest of the assassination battalion was kicked, and the assassination battalion suffered heavy losses.

The assassination battalion is the result of Situ Kuo's life's work, and it is a special unit carefully created by his master Yang Su. Although Yang Su died, Situ couldn't forget Yang Su's kindness and stayed in the assassination camp. In fact, he didn't know that Yang Su was gone, what was the point of him sticking to the assassination camp. But he is like a loyal dog, knowing that his master is dead, but he still waits stupidly, waiting for the impossible miracle.

Now that the assassination battalion is almost completely wiped out, Situ Wound's half-life persistence has collapsed all at once. The hatred was deeper than his son's tragic death, and at that moment, he came to a conclusion: in this life, he will never die with Pei Qingyi, Princess Pingyang, and Hou Jie.

Situ Shu didn't know exactly that it was Princess Pingyang who destroyed the assassination camp, but he could guess it by imagination. Pei Qingyi forced him to hide in Dangtu, if she really had that strength, she would not be forced to be like a lost dog. So far, his enemy is only Pei Qingyi, and the only ones who can give Pei Qingyi a head start are Pingyang and the bearded guest. Bearded customers are far overseas, and there is only one choice in Binh Duong. It was precisely because of Hou Jie that Pingyang was able to know where the camp was. Who did it, it's obvious.

Situ Wound's character is ruthless, if you can't kill you, you can disgust you to death. Just like at the beginning, he asked Wu Shike to cut off his arm, he couldn't deal with Wu Shike, so he wiped out Wu Shike's whole family. Let his opponent always be annoyed and blamed, and there is nothing he can do about him.

Pei Qingyi can't deal with it now, and Pingyang is even more so. Then start with the characters in the rivers and lakes who support Pei Qingyi, and let Pei Qingyi lose his mind in chagrin and guilt.

When Tu fell, the rumors passed, and Situ was looking for an opponent, he accidentally found a character similar to Hou Jie, and after careful investigation, he found a blind old woman with foot disease, which was in line with the combination of Hou Jie and his mother, and there were some people around them, which is self-evident.

Hou Jie leaked the secrets of the assassination camp and was one of the killers, and resolutely decided that revenge would start with him.

Waiting for the opportunity all the way, he came to the Dangtu Ferry, watching Hou Jie and his mother get on the passenger boat to Jiangling, and most of the Jianghu people who were secretly guarding also dispersed, only a few still followed, realizing that the opportunity had come. Pretending to be a guest on boarding, he boarded the passenger ship. Watching Hou Jesai give the ship boss a bag of money and get a cabin, his eyes flashed with rage. If it weren't for leaking secrets and getting rewards, how could Hou Jie be so generous.

"It's good! You are comfortable, but it is convenient for me to do things. ”

He didn't spend money to buy a cabin, but found a corner where he could see Hou Jie's cabin door and half-leaned and waited for the night to come.

The moonlight shrouded the land, and although it was early in the morning, the surroundings were silent, but because the moonlight passed through the deck, there was still a certain degree of visibility. This is no different from the daytime for Situ Injury, who is good at acting at night.

Seeing that there was no one in the narrow hallway, Situ quietly blew the fire fold, lit the smoke, and stuffed it into the crack in the door.

Ten Hou Jie are not Situ Injury's opponents, but the reason why Situ Injury has never missed is that he does not underestimate anyone, even an ant, when he can use medicine, he will use medicine in one move in order to kill the other party most effectively.

Silently counting the time when the incense took effect, a piercing chill arose in his heart in vain, and he rolled back instinctively.

A bright horizontal knife appeared where he was before, and if he had been hiding for a while, he was afraid that he would have been stabbed to death on the spot by the horizontal knife now.

Situ was sad and knew what was going on, kicked open the cabin door, went straight to the window, and as long as he jumped into the Yangtze River, he saved his life.

Entering the house, facing the bed close at hand, Situ Injury did not have the slightest idea, there was a chance to kill, and Hou Jie was not qualified to let him risk assassination.

The body hit the window, the whole person bounced back to the ground, couldn't help but gasp, inhaled the incense that permeated the cabin, he was already dizzy, and lost his mind for a moment.

The cold light fell from the sky, and the sharp blade fell into Situ Wound's chest.

The knife went straight to the heart, Situ Shen twitched for a moment, and there was only one thought in his mind: "Master, I'm here!" ”

The sound of the fight woke up the people on the boat, and they rushed up to see the excitement, but they saw an ordinary middle-aged man with a bloody knife walking out of the cabin, showing the word "catch" token in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "The government wants a wanted felon, and idlers avoid it, and they are regarded as accomplices if they violate the order." ”

As soon as these words came out, the excitement dispersed.

The hatch next door opened widely, and Hou Jie and Dou Pingrong walked out one after another.

"How? General! Hou Jie said in a nervous and excited tone, Situ was injured and died, and he couldn't sleep well.

"The person is dead, whether it is Situ injured I don't know, you go and recognize the person." After the disguised Luo Shixin put the knife back into the sheath, he was a little unsatisfied. He really wanted to fight with Situ with real knives and guns, but the other party was bent on escaping, so that he fell into a trap and killed himself.

Li Jing had escaped from Situ Injury's pursuit, and specially studied his personality and style, and combined Luo Shixin's strange attention to set up this bureau for him.

Hou Jie walked into the room with an oil lamp, the scarlet firelight illuminated the small space, the window was sealed with iron bars, and there was a small hole under the bed leading to the next door.

Picking off Situ Shu's mask, Hou Jie said happily: "There is no doubt that it is me!" (To be continued......)
