Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 120 Hell on Earth
Li Chengqian listened to the satisfactory introduction, nodded to the two people, and then Li Chengqian also said: "I am relieved to see that I have come back safely, and you can rest assured that Yulong, you should accompany the crown princess in the palace now!" ”
Satisfied, nodded, looked at Li Chengqian, and continued: "Originally, I wanted Xie Ziwen to protect me to investigate my life experience this time, but now I may not have time to investigate!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Dong and Uncle Tuesday, and then took out the map from his arms and showed it to Li Chengqian, "Look here, this mountain is called Ermeng Mountain, we have been there before, and then we heard that this mountain actually has an exit in Jingzhou, but it just needs to be turned over!" ”
As he spoke, he gestured on one side of the map, then on the place where they were staying, and finally on the spot not far away, he said, "This is actually the destination of my trip, but we don't have time to go!" ”
Li Chengqian listened to what he said and carefully studied the map, and only after a while did he breathe a sigh of relief and said: "It's not so much that the Turks can come here, but it is more convenient for people who are familiar with Gaochang to come, and how high and dangerous Ermeng Mountain is, I don't need to tell you, how can they turn it over!" ”
Xiangxin had already guessed that Li Chengqian would not believe it, but he still called Xu Dong over and said, "You come over and explain to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Xu Dong knew that his time had come, so he hurriedly came over and marked it on the map, "Your Highness, please see that this is Yizhou City, but this side of Yizhou has no strategic significance for my Datang except for the integrity of the land, but Jingzhou is different, Jingzhou is backed by Ermeng Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is captured by the Turks, they can completely open the gap and let their people go all the way down from Gaochang Kingdom to my Datang territory." ”
Li Chengqian knew the seriousness of this matter, but he still couldn't explain the fact that the Turks could send troops through Gaochangguo, and pointed to the map of Gaochangguo and said: "Why does Gaochangguo let the Turks pass through the territory of other countries, Gaochang is my subject country, and we pay tribute every year, so we will protect him!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was suddenly stunned, and thought of a possibility that Gaochang State did not want to be a subject state of the Tang Dynasty anymore, and the Turks promised not to ask them to pay tribute, and they dared to agree to such a request? Maybe Gao Changguo just wants to see the two countries at war and lose both.
Thinking of this possibility, Li Chengqian also felt that Gao Changguo might betray, and Ermeng Mountain didn't look so secure.
Xiangxin looked at Li Chengqian, and when he saw that he was no longer talking, he hurriedly said: "Although Yizhou is the fief of the prince, King Wu has not been heavily guarded in the capital, and according to the Weishui Alliance, my Tang Dynasty still has to give food to the Turks every year, so everyone thinks that the Turks will not invade, which has led to the current situation!" ”
Li Chengqian nodded, and then thought of Jingzhou, which was the residence of the King of Shu, and Jingzhou Yizhou was the fief of the Wu Wang brothers, if it was really taken away by the Turks, then the northwest of the Tang Dynasty would lose a lot of land.
Li Chengqian looked at the map, pointed in the direction of Yizhou, and said: "The Turks chose to start the first battle from Yizhou, I'm afraid they have already thought about it, and they want us to transfer all the soldiers here, and then it will be difficult to send people over!" ”
Satisfied, nodded and said, "What's the situation in Yizhou, haven't you anyone contacted it until now?" Why is there no one living in the nearby villages? ”
Li Chengqian didn't know what the situation was, so he hurriedly called Cheng Chu at the door and said, "General Cheng sent someone to contact the people in Yizhou City, and come back immediately after getting the information, we may have to start immediately!" ”
Although Cheng Chumo didn't know what was going on, he still immediately said: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
As he spoke, he commanded his best soldiers to sneak over, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and with the help of the moonlight, the team touched Yizhou City.
After saying these important things, everyone can only wait for the news with peace of mind, and then Xiangxin and Li Chengqian will talk about their experience in the past half a month, Li Chengqian also sighed a little, I didn't expect that this trip was more to help Xie Ziwen solve the big things, and Xiangxin didn't gain anything.
When Uncle Tuesday and Xu Dong went to dinner, Chengxincai and Li Chengqian said: "Your Highness, in fact, I went to see Xie Ziwen's master, and with his help, I recovered my memory for a year, do you want to hear it!" ”
Saying this, his heart trembled a little, and he was afraid that after Li Chengqian's story of framing Li Chengqian was known, Li Chengqian would ignore him from now on, and his only friends would be much less.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he also hurriedly asked: "You have also seen his master, and he actually helped you recover your memory for a year, come and talk about it!" ”
Xiangxin nodded, took out a deed of sale from his arms, although the previous one had been burned, but the key information in it was still recorded, handed it to Li Chengqian, and said: "The one-year memory I recovered tells me that this deed of sale is actually fake, a fake identity given to me by Changsun Chong, the purpose is to make me a slave without support, so that you will not leave me, or send me home!" ”
Li Chengqian took the deed of sale, looked at him with an expressionless face and said: "This is impossible, I have investigated it before, this deed of sale is in various states and capitals, as long as the address written on the deed of sale, I have gone to investigate and collect evidence, at that time, they took your portrait and said that the person who sold the deed is you!" ”
Xiangxin didn't know how to explain it, remembering the village not far away, which seemed to be the place where he sold himself, but he didn't know if there were still people living in the village at this time, Xiangxin sighed and continued: "Don't talk about this, in that memory, I was captured by Changsun Chong, and his purpose is to train me, let me get close to you, and then achieve his ulterior secret!" ”
Li Chengqian smashed his mouth, looked at his heart and said with some doubts: "The secret of the ulterior? What a secret! ”
Chengxin scratched his head, and Changsun Chong, who had a memory, didn't seem to have told him what he was going to do in the end, but only arranged for himself to get close to Li Chengqian first, so he said honestly: "Maybe I won't tell me until you ascend the throne or the rest, in short, you must beware of Changsun Chong!" ”
Li Chengqian expressed doubts about this memory of the heart, these headless, brainless and logical things, if it were not the memory that the heart said belonged to him, he would not believe it, at this time, looking at the excited appearance of Li Chengqian, he could only smile and said: "Your memory is better not recovered, it is all suspicious now, let's start with the things in front of you, as for the problem of your memory, let's recover some more!" ”
Satisfaction could only nod weakly.
Outside the city of Yizhou, the soldiers took advantage of the night to touch the city wall, looked at the figures on the city wall, and several people signaled in sign language by the moonlight, "Go to the gate first and see if you can push it in!" ”
A man touched the door, gently pushed it a few times, and then came back, telling everyone, "The door is locked, and if you want to get in, you can only climb over the wall!" ”
Everyone hit it off and found a place far away from the city wall, and one of them took out a steel nail and aimed it at the gap in the wall, and made a ladder one after another, and finally the person with the best light skills touched it and dropped the rope.
Although the skills of several people are not bad, but all this seems to be too smooth, roughly swept the black shadow on the city wall, seeing that they are motionless, several people leaned over, and found that these people were actually dead, just fixed on the city wall, looking at it from a distance and thinking that they were holding the city wall.
A few people carefully descended the city wall, and quietly opened the city gate, waiting for an accident to escape at any time.
After making all the preparations, a few people only touched the city this time, maybe it was the middle of the night, or it may have just experienced a war, in short, except for a glimmer of light in the city lord's mansion, there was no light in the rest of the place.
A few people then gestured to the moonlight, "Touch it and see what's going on, there doesn't seem to be a sound in this city except here!" ”
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was closed, but fortunately, the high wall of the City Lord's Mansion was not so high, and a few people took the ladder to touch it.
The scene in the city lord's mansion frightened everyone, only to see that there were many people crowded in the city lord's mansion, and a few Turks in the middle were drinking and having fun at this time, and the people below were also competing for food, a hell on earth.
The Turks spoke a voice they couldn't understand, and although the soldiers couldn't understand it, the people of Yizhou City, who had been dealing with the Turks all year round, knew very well, and under the orders of the Turks, these people fought more fiercely.
If what they are fighting for is something delicious, the food they are fighting for is just some steamed porridge and water, and several people also communicate again when they see this situation.
"It seems that all the people of the city have gathered here!"
"Are these the only Turks? Impossible! ”
"I haven't seen any other Turks!"
"Let's take a look at the other mansions around us, and if we find a Turk, we'll come back in a quarter of an hour to meet up in this neighborhood!"
The two of them were divided into five groups, and they climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard to visit most of the mansions in Yizhou City, in fact, it didn't take much effort, most of the courtyards in Yizhou City were open at this time, and they looked like no one.
A quarter of an hour later, the ten men met again.
"What's the situation with you, how come there is blood on your bodies!"
"I met a few Turks who were sleeping and slaughtered with a knife!"
"What about you!"
"We, too, are ruining the girl, and we're stabbing them to death!"
"You've met a few Turks!"
"Four!"
"Six!"
"I know, there are a total of ten Turks in the courtyard, and there are also ten Turks outside the courtyard, they control the people in the city lord's mansion, and they frightened the people with the momentum of the previous siege, so that they can grab food in the dark and use their strength, and they can only sleep during the day, so that these people have no threat to them, and they can also use the people to threaten us!"
