Chapter 8 King Jing's conspiracy is ruthless, and the commander forcibly kidnaps the prince
The sky was dark and oppressive, without stars or moons.
King Jing's Mansion.
In the study, King Jing Yang Xuan sat arrogantly and lazily in the Taishi chair.
Yang Xuan is seventeen years old, he is dignified, handsome, and a beautiful son, but his cold and gloomy eyes always shine with a terrifying cold glow, which can't help but make people daunted.
In front of him, kneeling on one knee was a young military attache general with an official sword at his waist.
"Lord Yu, the 50,000 Praetorian Guards led by Prince Li and Liang Yuanjin are about to arrive in Liangzhouwei, and I believe that they will be able to rush to Suzhou Wei and arrive at Jiayuguan in the near future." The military attache and general are reporting to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan smiled coldly: "Very good, Liang Yuanjin's death is not far away." β
"Lord Wang, subordinates...... subordinates ......" the military attachΓ© general wanted to speak and stopped.
Yang Xuan scolded arrogantly: "When is this!" Talking is still slurred! β
"Yes, yes." The military attache general nodded, "The subordinates are worried that the foreign enemy will not abide by the agreement with the prince, and when the time comes, Suzhou Wei is afraid that it will ......."
Yang Xuanao smiled coldly, and said: "Don't worry, their nomads are not used to living in our land, at most they will snatch things and leave, but the soldiers and horses of Suzhou Wei must die!" β
The military attache general exclaimed: "The soldiers and horses of the Suzhou Guard are also going to die? Lord Wang, that's the soldiers and horses you bought with a lot of money! β
Yang Xuanao smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because they are the soldiers and horses that I bought, I have to die, think about it, my Suzhou guards and horses and foreign enemy soldiers and horses should be combined with the outside, and the 50,000 Praetorian Guards who killed Liang Yuanjin before and after, the 50,000 Praetorian Guards are gone, and the soldiers and horses of the Suzhou Guards survived, isn't it unreasonable?" Therefore, after the Suzhou guards and horses and the foreign enemy soldiers and horses destroyed 50,000 Janissaries, the king will cross the river and demolish the bridge, let the foreign enemy soldiers and horses destroy the Suzhou guards and horses bought by the king, and then let them loot the Suzhou guards and then leave, which is reasonable, this is called killing people and sealing their mouths, there are too many people who know, and it is not good for the king. β
The military attache general said cautiously: "Lord Wang, in order to take the life of Liang Yuanjin, it is too worthless to kill so many people, in fact, there are many ways for the prince to kill Liang Yuanjin in Kyoto, such as poisoning or sending assassins......"
"Stupid!" Yang Xuanao sighed in a deep voice and interrupted the words of the military attache general, "If Liang Yuanjin died in Kyoto on such an unexplained and obscene method, how could this king still strive to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard?" As long as this king opens his mouth to ask for the command of the Praetorian Guard, wouldn't there be no three hundred taels of silver here, so that everyone in the world thinks that this king must get rid of Liang Yuanjin and replace him quickly? β
"The subordinates are ignorant, and the subordinates should be damned." The military attachΓ© and general hurriedly bowed their heads and pleaded guilty.
Yang Xuan snorted coldly: "This king wants Liang Yuanjin to die on the battlefield in a dignified manner, so that his incompetence can be shown, and this king can go to the edict to take his place in a dignified manner, so that this king can be justified and will not be talked about by the people of the world!" β
The military attache general nodded and complimented: "The prince is wise, and his subordinates are beyond his reach!" β
"That's it!" Yang Xuanao waved his hand, "Get up!" β
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The military attache general stood up, but he still bent down and stood with his head down, not daring to look directly at Yang Xuanao.
Yang Xuan smiled arrogantly: "You came to see this king, it's not just as simple as telling this king about Liang Yuanjin's whereabouts, right?" What else? β
The military attache general peeked at him and said softly, "About Prince Li......"
The stakes are very high, not that the military attache general doesn't want to or doesn't know how to say it, but he doesn't dare to say it anymore, because it is not him who is in charge here, but Yang Xuanao, the king of Jing in front of him.
Yang Xuan frowned proudly: "This prince's ceremony really gives this king a headache......
Seeing Yang Xuanao's hesitation, the military attache general immediately said: "Prince, once the war starts, Prince Li will definitely die, if the prince wants to protect Prince Li, while it is still too late, Prince, Prince Li is alive or dead, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible!" β
Yang Xuanao stared at the military attachΓ© general: "Is it too late to preserve the prince's ceremony?" Isn't that what do you mean by this? β
The military attache general said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates do have a plan." β
Yang Xuanao disagreed: "Let's hear it." β
"Yes!" The military attache general nodded, "Now, Prince Li and Liang Yuanjin have not yet arrived in Liangzhou Wei, the prince can rush to Liangzhou Wei and discuss with Liang Yuanjin, so he pretended to be kind, saying that there are many enemy troops, the prince is the foundation of the country, in case of danger, no one can afford it, the prince can conspire with Liang Yuanjin for a banquet, try to charm Prince Li, the prince can say to Liang Yuanjin, if the prince is to blame, the prince will bear it alone, and then the prince will ask to escort the prince back to Beijing, so that Liang Yuanjin will fight alone, this will be fine." β
"You have a point." Yang Xuanao agreed.
The military attache general was praised by Yang Xuanao, and said with great joy: "Thank you for the praise!" β
Yang Xuanao's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "You have such a good plan, why didn't you say it earlier?" β
The military attache general was so frightened that he knelt on one knee and said in a trembling voice: "My subordinates don't know what the prince is thinking, so I don't dare to speculate and speak indiscriminately." β
"Humph!" Yang Xuan snorted coldly, his face full of anger, "Don't dare? How dare you now? β
"Subordinate...... This ...... "The military attache general broke out in a cold sweat and spoke incoherently."
Yang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Immediately select a few fast horses, and this king will immediately take people to Liangzhou Wei in the starry night!" β
"Yes!" The military attache and general shouted the order.
β¦β¦
Night.
In the woods.
Prince Li and Liang Yuanjin sat on the spot around a pile of burning firewood, and eight Praetorian Guards stood with swords on their backs, forming a circle to surround the two of them for protection.
Liang Yuanjin looked at Prince Li and asked, "Prince, why did you let the army go first?" Wouldn't it be nice for us to walk together? β
Prince Li didn't answer his words, and turned his head to look at the Praetorian Guard soldiers: "You go to another place to guard and rest, there is Commander Liang here, and it will be fine." β
"Yes!" The Praetorian Guards responded in unison and scattered in all directions.
Only then did Prince Li say to Liang Yuanjin: "Liang Yuanjin, this prince has something to ask for. β
Liang Yuanjin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The prince's words are really annoying to the ministers. β
"Not really." Prince Li smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid you may not be willing to agree!" β
Liang Yuanjin said solemnly: "The prince, please say, as long as you can do your best, the definition of Weichen is unavoidable!" β
Prince Li smiled: "I can't talk about it if I can, as long as you nod." β
Liang Yuanjin looked at Prince Li with a solemn expression, waiting for him to ask.
"Prince Ben wants you to immediately call yourself sick and return to Beijing!" Prince Li said word by word, forcing Liang Yuanjin to look at him.
Liang Yuanjin's body shook slightly, and he didn't react much, but said lightly: "Is this what the third princess means?" β
Prince Li asked rhetorically: "Don't you know whether the third princess likes you or not?" β
Liang Yuanjin resolutely said: "But I really love her, and I am willing to give everything for her, including my life!" β
"Liang Yuanjin, I know your sincerity to the third princess, but you have to understand that emotional matters cannot be forced, I hope you ......" Prince Li wanted to enlighten him.
"The relationship can't be forced, but it can be cultivated, as long as I can be with the third princess, after a long time, she will like and fall in love with me." Liang Yuanjin was very persistent.
Seeing that he didn't listen to the advice, Prince Li didn't feel that his heart was on fire, so he said coldly: "If you think so, will the third princess think so?" It's just your own idea. β
"Can't you just give me a chance?" Liang Yuanjin pleaded with Prince Li in a low voice.
Prince Li said angrily: "Give you a chance? Do you want me to bet on my sister's lifelong happiness? β
"No more negotiable?" This was Liang Yuanjin's last question, and if Prince Li still refused to leave, he would take action to resist Prince Li.
"Prince Ben asked you one last time, will you go back to Beijing?" This is the last kind words of Prince Li's persuasion, if Liang Yuanjin is still obsessed, he will order to subdue Liang Yuanjin.
Prince Li stood up and forced his gaze at Liang Yuanjin.
Liang Yuanjin also stood up and looked at Prince Li fearlessly.
The determination in the eyes of the two was self-evident.
Prince Li raised his hand and said loudly: "Praetorian Guards! β
"In!" Eight Praetorian Guards heard the sound.
Prince Li pointed at Liang Yuanjin: "Tie Liang Yuanjin to me!" β
"Yes!" The two Praetorian Guards drew their swords from their waists.
However, the two Praetorian Guards did not go up to tie Liang Yuanjin, but put their knives directly on Prince Li's neck.
Prince Li was furious and said, "What do you want to do? Is it not the other way around? Even Prince Ben dares to move! β
Liang Yuanjin shouted: "Tie up the prince!" β
"You dare!" Prince Li roared like thunder.
"Yes!" Two more Praetorian Guards soldiers came up, one of whom took off the long rope around his waist, and the two of them worked together to tie up Prince Li's flowers.
Only then did the two swordsmen of the Praetorian Guard put their swords into their sheaths and stepped aside.
Liang Yuanjin waved his hand at the eight Praetorian Guards: "All retreat first!" β
"Yes!" Eight Praetorian Guards retreated.
What is done cannot be undone!
Helpless!
Prince Li calmed down and sneered: "This prince underestimated you, I didn't expect that these Praetorian Guards would listen to you so much, and they didn't take me as a prince in their eyes at all." β
Liang Yuanjin flicked his cloak, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head: "I am their commander, of course they have to listen to me, this is the prince you forced me, I have no other way but to do this." β
Prince Li sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a deep affection for the third princess." β
"The third princess can not love me, but I will never allow others to stop me from loving the third princess, whoever does that is to push me into the fire pit." Liang Yuanjin said through gritted teeth.
Prince Li said in a deep voice: "You raise your head and look at Prince Ben. β
Liang Yuanjin raised his head proudly and looked at Prince Li fearlessly.
Prince Li stared at him and said earnestly: "Have you ever thought that even if you win the battle, even if the emperor allows the third princess to marry you, if the third princess is unwilling, what will you do?" β
Liang Yuanjin said indifferently: "Salute first and then soldier." β
Prince Li said blankly: "What do you mean?" β
Liang Yuanjin gritted her teeth: "She has to follow, if she doesn't, she has to follow!" β
Prince Li sighed lightly: "You're already crazy, I don't want to talk to you anymore, what are you going to do with me?" β
Liang Yuanjin stood up and said word by word: "Send someone to send you back to Beijing!" β
