Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two: The Return Journey
"Brother Cheng, are you going back to Chang'an with me?" Li Yuanfang asked.
Cheng Yanjin hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, okay, I'll go back with you, the second prince of Qiuzi is cunning by nature, I'm afraid that you won't be able to escort you alone." ”
"Okay, what about my sister-in-law of Loulan, don't you say goodbye to her first?" Li Yuanfang said.
Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hand to pull Li Yuanfang's big ear, but when Li Yuanfang saw this, a snort flashed under his palm. "You kid, don't I just worry about you, are you more direct? You have a narrow heart, and you come to make fun of me in the blink of an eye. You, Brother Cheng, am I such a person who values sex and neglects friends, and has a long love for children? Besides, now that the situation in the imperial court is critical, can I stand idly by? Cheng Biting Jin said angrily.
"Brother Cheng, look at you, isn't it just a little joke? We're going right away, shall we? Li Yuanfang said.
After a few days of long-distance travel, Li Yuanfang and Cheng Biting Jin brought the second prince of Qiuzi Kingdom to Chang'an.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Di Renjie heard that someone was knocking on the door, walked over to open the door, and saw that it was Li Yuanfang.
"Yuan Fang, you're finally back." Di Renjie was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, Master Di. This time I came back with you an old friend of yours. Li Yuanfangcan said with a smile.
"Friends?" Di Renjie was puzzled.
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he saw Cheng Biting Jin turning around from the side outside the door, and said with a smile: "Haha, old Di, long time no see." ”
"Lao Cheng, you're back together, it's very good, it's good, come into the hall." Di Renjie was pleasantly surprised, and reached out to invite Cheng Yanjin into the room.
"Lao Di, this farewell has been many years, I see how many gray hairs do you have on your sideburns? You must take care of yourself and not be obsessed with official duties. Cheng Yanjin took the lead in greetings.
"Yes, you have been in the Western Regions for so many years, are you still adapting to everything?" Di Renjie said.
"It's all good, it's all good. Hey, I just didn't expect Li Jing to suffer this change, and I didn't come in vain this time, the person who killed him, I found out with Brother Yuanfang. Cheng Biting Jin slapped his hand on the chair and said indignantly.
"Oh, really?" Di Renjie said.
"Well, let Little Brother Yuanfang come with you one by one." Cheng bites the golden road.
"Hehe, this investigation in the Western Regions, thanks to Brother Cheng's various mediations and assistance, otherwise, I wouldn't have come back with the truth so soon." Li Yuanfang said.
"Well, let's talk about it." Di Renjie said.
"The mastermind of killing Li Jing is today's national teacher Ming Shiyin. He sent his disciple Yi Xing to buy brown gold arrows from the second prince of Qiuzi Kingdom, and then had General Li Jing secretly ambush him on his way back, so that General Li Jing was shot and killed, so that almost all the battle achievements were attributed to his righteous son Pei Baohu, which is very consistent with your previous inference. Li Yuanfang said.
"Well, come on." Di Renjie nodded in response.
"The second prince of Qiuzi Kingdom was brought back by us this time, and he is willing to correct Yi Xing." Li Yuanfang said.
"Oh? So where is he now? Di Renjie said curiously.
"When he entered the house, he put him in prison. Moreover, we also found out the true identity of Ming Shiyin. Li Yuanfang said.
"Very well, go on." Di Renjie was shocked.
"He is the widow of Taizong, and he was the only one who escaped the pursuit of the empress and fled to Siam to survive." Li Yuanfang said.
"No wonder I look at his eyebrows, a little similar to Taizong. In the end, after all, it's Li Tang's own family affair, hey..."Di Renjie said.
"What's wrong with Master Di?" Li Yuanfang saw Di Renjie sigh again and again, puzzled.
"You may not know that the Empress has been killed by Ming Shiyin. Now the Empress was lying in bed, unconscious, like an idiot, and all the power had fallen into his hands. Di Renjie said.
When Cheng Yanjin and Li Yuanfang heard this, they were all shocked and glanced at each other.
"Lao Di, what should I do with the current situation?" Cheng Yanjin asked.
"General Li Duozuo has discussed with me to raise troops to defeat the thieves, just tomorrow." Di Renjie said.
Just as the three of them were talking, the housekeeper of the Di Mansion entered the hall and said, "Master, something is wrong, General Li Duozuo was dragged by Ming Shiyin to the noon gate to behead the public." Moreover, Princess Changping was also placed under house arrest. ”
Li Yuanfang and Cheng Yanjin heard this, and looked at Di Renjie at the same time. I saw Di Renjie shoot the case, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
"If Ming Shiyin is allowed to get the throne, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be caught in fire and water. Now that the seal of the Yulin Army is in my hands, tomorrow, I will personally lead the troops to Qin Wang and kill the rebels. Di Renjie said quietly.
"Okay, Lao Di, what you recognize, I will accompany Lao Cheng to the end, and I will kill the thief who is in chaos with you." Cheng Yaoji patted his chest and said.
"Well, good. At this time, Ming Shiyin was sitting in the Daming Palace, and Long Wujun listened to his orders. Lao Cheng, tomorrow, you will personally lead all the Yulin troops to attack Daming Palace. Yuan Fang, tomorrow, you will personally lead all the official officials of Chang'an to besiege the official residence of Ming Shiyin and his henchmen.
The next day, when Ming Shiyin sent people to search for the seal of the Yulin army, Cheng Yanjin had personally led 20,000 Yulin troops to surround the Daming Palace.
At this moment, Ming Shiyin is playing against Pei Baohu. Suddenly, Yi Xing came to Ming Shiyin's side in a panic, and said in a disordered tone: "Master, it's not good, Daming Palace is actually surrounded by Di Renjie's Yulin Army. ”
Ming Shi heard this, and the black chess in his hand slipped suddenly.
"What?" Di Renjie. Ming Shiyin was shocked, stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Jiang Yin was actually there for him, I knew that this was the case, I should have tried my best to kill him in advance." ”
"Father-in-law, I personally led 10,000 dragon warriors out of the palace to meet the battle." Pei Baohu said indignantly.
"The Longwu army is only 10,000 people, but the Yulin army has 20,000, and we can't go out of the palace to fight anyway. Hu'er, you personally go to the city defense, no matter what, you can't let the Yulin army attack in. Ming Shiyin said urgently.
"Order." Pei Baohu hugged his fists forward and hurriedly turned to leave.
"Xing'er, quickly write a letter to the Bull Demon King and ask for help. As long as the tiger can hold on for three days, we will be able to survive this catastrophe unharmed. "Ming Shiyin Dao.
"Obey the order, the disciple will do it." Yi Xingdao.
"Attack the door." Cheng Yanjin sat on his horse and waved forward.
Dozens of people pushed a gate attack car and quickly approached the palace gate. In addition, a thick layer of wood is framed on top of the attack cart, which is used to shelter the attack cart and cart soldiers, which can effectively resist the attack of arrow rain and rubble.
Suddenly, on the city wall, rocks rained down, smashing down the attack car. However, the wooden planks at the top of the attack car were extremely hard, and no matter how heavy the rocks were, they could not smash them, let alone collapse.
