King Jin hummed obediently, then took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to Li Chengqian: "Brother Huang, I heard that someone assassinated you recently, this dagger is for you, you can take it with you to protect yourself!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at the delicate little dagger in King Jin's hand, and also felt a little liked, so he took it and looked at him and said, "Where did you find this dagger, this dagger looks exquisite!" ”

When King Jin heard Li Chengqian's praise, he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "I took this dagger from my father's treasure house, and I took it secretly, don't tell my father!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and said with joy: "Next time, you don't have to take it secretly, just tell the imperial brother what you like, and the imperial brother will bring it to you!" ”

King Jin nodded obediently, and then left the hall with the fruit plate in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at the figure of King Jin leaving, and he also got a trace of comfort in his heart, no matter how many rumors outside, there are still his relatives in the palace, for the sake of these relatives, Li Chengqian decided to protect them.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian shouted towards the door: "Is Cheng Chumo here?" Come here! ”

Cheng Chu came silently, Li Chengqian looked at him and said: "Transfer all the troops to Chang'an City, and the palace will focus on protecting the King of Jin and his son, if they are injured in the slightest, I don't need to say more!" ”

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Chengqian's serious face, and hurriedly nodded and looked at him and said, "The minister obeys the order, Your Highness can rest assured!" ”

Li Chengqian's order spread in Chang'an City, and Chang'an City returned to a serious state overnight, although everyone still lived as usual, but everyone did not dare to speak loudly, and the people were also a little worried, whether Li Chengqian would have other purposes in doing so.

The ministers all learned that Li Chengqian had been assassinated one after another, so he had turned Chang'an City into a wartime state.

There is no longer any gossip in Yufeng Zhai, and Hu Lilao is much more deserted today.

However, the officials of the Jiangnan Shi clan still gathered together in the Chenghe Restaurant.

"Looks like this time it failed!"

"Yes, I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Wu to be so reckless, and he was actually killed by Li Chengqian so easily!"

"It's still the eldest grandson who rushed to the chicken thief, and he actually ran away in advance!"

"Who's to say it isn't! I didn't expect that the last one to survive was actually Changsun Chong, now what should we do! ”

"What can I do, naturally I am waiting for Cui Gongzi's order, since Cui Gongzi did not personally bring someone over, it means that he must have some calculations."

"That's right, but who do you say is the person who assassinated Li Chengqian one after another recently?"

"I don't know, there is no one here in Jiangnan to do this, so there is only one possibility, and that is Changsun Chong's people!"

"The people of the eldest grandson Chong? I don't think it's his person, Changsun Chong is very cunning, since there is no substantial evidence to prove that he participated in the events of the previous days, then as long as it takes a while, he will return to the public's field of vision with great fanfare! ”

While these officials were discussing matters at Chenghe Restaurant, Changsun Chong himself was commanding this large number of troops at this time at the border between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Changsun Chong looked noble, looking at the soldiers who got off the boat a little bit, Changsun Chong said impatiently: "Is it just such a person?" What can a man do with this! ”

The general on the side looked at Changsun Chong and said with a smile on his face: "There are only so many people on our island, and aren't we just going to grab some money on the way, the more people there are, isn't it!" ”

Changsun Chong nodded, but the general on the side was also full of disdain, in Changsun Chong's opinion, there was really no way to cooperate with these barbarians, but although these people were short, everyone was ruthless.

Changsun Chong looked at them and said: "There will be passing Datang troops in a while, but those are just the vanguard troops, and they won't have too many treasures on them, but we have to kill them first, and then snatch the armor and equipment on their bodies, and then pretend to be them, and then go to the cities along the way to grab things, so that they won't know who did it!" ”

The general on the side nodded with satisfaction, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "It's all up to the eldest grandson's arrangement!" ”

Just when they were happily arranging people at both ends of the terrain, a large number of Tang troops suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and the general of the Wa State quietly approached Changsun Chong and said, "Shall we do it?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong looked at the passing army below in a daze, and said to himself: "How can it be so fast? I estimate that it will take at least ten days and half a month to get back! ”

The general was also a little confused when he heard Changsun Chong's words, and looked at the long line below, and the general said: "These people seem to be a bit much, and they are not as exhausted as we expected!" ”

Changsun Chong waved his hand a little annoyed, but he still looked at the army below and said: "You tell your subordinates not to act rashly, although I don't know what these people are doing when they come back, but I'm afraid that our people can't deal with them, if there are more of them in this group, it means that there are fewer people pulling treasures behind." ”

However, the situation was somewhat unexpected by Changsun Chong, after the vanguard passed, it was followed by a military chariot carrying a box of treasures and grain and grass, and the carriage followed by seemed to be Li Shimin's car.

On the top of the mountain, Changsun Chong looked at the situation below with a confused expression, and in a trance he saw Li Tao's figure, and after looking at Li Shimin's carriage for a long time, he finally concluded that the Tang Dynasty should have defeated Goguryeo, otherwise Li Shimin would not have come back so early.

Thinking of this, Changsun Chong said to the general of the Wa Kingdom with some helplessness: "It seems that the way of robbing the army will not work, but we can wait for them to go south to the coastal Zhuangzi to grab some grain and grass, and we will definitely not let you return empty-handed." ”

Although the general was a little dissatisfied, he had to nod his head when he looked at so many soldiers below.

Just when they decided to abandon the plan, a sharp-eyed soldier below saw the traces of Changsun Chong and the others, and saw that he hurriedly passed the news to Li Tao's ears.

And Li Tao also passed the news to Li Shimin as soon as possible, and then quietly sent people up the mountain from the woods on both sides.

The eldest grandson Chong on the top of the mountain was afraid of being discovered, so he kept his head down and hidden, not daring to look at the situation below, so the two groups of people met on the top of the mountain.

The soldiers looked at the Japanese people with weapons in their hands, and without saying a word, they fired a volley, and it was not until the bow and arrow hit their bodies that the Japanese realized that they had been discovered by the Tang Dynasty's army.

At this time, they couldn't explain anything, so they had to take up arms to resist, but how could they be the opponent of the Tang army, and they were quickly defeated.

Li Tao listened to the report of his subordinates and looked at the only remaining mouths, and then he found a familiar face, Li Tao smiled a little playfully: "Isn't this the eldest grandson young master?" How did you get together with the Japanese people! ”

The eldest grandson Chong raised his head and looked at Li Tao, spit out the blood in his mouth fiercely, and then looked at Li Tao and said: "Why did I get together with them, I was caught by the Japanese when I came to the north to play, and they wanted to take me to blackmail my father to ask for some silver, what are you arresting me?" Don't let me go yet! I want to see the emperor! ”

Li Tao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, looked at the general of the Wa Kingdom beside Changsun Chong and said, "Did you kidnap Young Master Changsun?" ”

The general looked at the face of the eldest grandson, saw that he showed a threatening look, and after thinking for a long time, the general nodded and said: "That's right, I kidnapped the young master of the eldest grandson, and there is not enough food and grass in our hometown, so I want to come to Datang to exchange some, but no one is willing to exchange with us, so I have to make a decision!" ”

Li Tao also smiled when he heard this, looked at the general of the Japanese state and said, "You are really a loyal dog, do you know Goguryeo?" They have already been destroyed by us, aren't you afraid that you will anger the emperor by saying this, and then send troops to destroy your country? ”

Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom are facing each other across the sea, and the two countries know each other's existence, but the Tang Dynasty has never known the navigation route of the Wa State, although it is clear where the location of the Wa State is, but it is still very dangerous to march on the sea, and Li Tao's words are just to deceive him.

The general obviously knew a lot of things, but he looked at Li Tao and said with an innocent face: "We didn't kill or harm people when we came to the territory of Datang, we just asked for some grain and grass, but I didn't expect that Datang couldn't sell us grain and grass when it launched a war, so we made this decision!" ”

As soon as these words came out, he put himself on the weak side, but Li Tao was not so easy to fool, I saw him wave his finger and look at the general of the Japanese State and said: "I don't care what your reason is, since you admit that you want to kidnap the eldest grandson, then you people will be killed, in this wilderness, we will kill a few Japanese people with bad intentions, and no one will hold us accountable!" ”

As he spoke, he gave the soldier on the side a look, and the soldier was also very clever, and picked up the knife in his hand and slashed at the neck of a seemingly insignificant person.

Blood gushed out, and the general didn't expect them to kill the killer alive, and watched all this in amazement, as if everything was not so realistic.

Li Tao pursed his lips, the soldiers on the side picked up their knives and cut the second person, the army was still slowly advancing, but the soldiers passing by walked forward without looking back as if they didn't see it.

Five people died in front of the general of the Japanese State one after another, and the general of the Japanese State finally couldn't help but look at Li Tao and said, "You kill me, you kill me first!" ”

Like a butcher at this time, Li Tao looked at the screaming pig and said, "You are going to die last, and not only will you die, you will also die!" ”

The last sentence Li Tao said looking at Changsun Chong, as if to strengthen the credibility of his words, Li Tao looked at Changsun Chong and said: "You targeted Yang Chen so much before, I will definitely ask for an explanation for him!" ”
