Chapter 862: Ambush in the Eastern Suburbs
The battlefield of the battle is not only in the temples, but also in the rivers and lakes.
On the golden hall of the court, Li Qinzai fought alone against the Confucians, while in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, Li Tao was waiting for people quietly.
and others, in order to give away.
Seeing each other is parting.
The late autumn sun shone into the carriage, half of Li Tao's body was bathed in the sun, and the other half of his body was hidden in the darkness, like a Buddha statue who saw through the world.
He is old and has few days to live.
once thought that most of his children and grandchildren were mediocre, and maybe they could barely keep the family business within three generations, Li Tao had no choice but to accept this reality.
But a few years ago, his grandson Li Qinzai's temperament changed greatly, and he was like two people before, and then magically became angry, invented new gadgets, and became a personal friend with the Son of Heaven for the sake of the country......
All signs show that the responsibility for the prosperity of the Li family can be entrusted to Li Qinzai.
As a result, Li Tao felt that he suddenly had a heavier responsibility for the family business, and he wanted to escort Li Qinzai, not only to let Li Qinzai brave the storm, but also to settle the trouble for him.
Sometimes he even wanted to abolish Li Jingye and pass on the title of Duke of England to Li Qinzai.
Putting aside the kinship between grandparents and grandchildren, from a personal point of view, Li Qinzai's actions in the past few years are also quite appreciated by Li Tao.
】
In contrast, Li Jingye's heir to the title is really lackluster, far inferior to Li Qinzai.
It's a pity that the court has rules, and the family also has rules, and the title can only be passed to the eldest grandson of the long house, and it cannot be deposed lightly.
However, Li Tao did not feel regretful, he believed that with Li Qinzai's ability, it would be a matter of time before he became the Duke of the Kingdom of Jin in the future, after all, it was the bloodline of the Li family, and it was also a happy thing.
Today, Li Tao appeared in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, also to escort Li Qinzai.
This time Li Qinzai caused too much trouble, Li Tao couldn't let him deal with it alone, while he was still able to move, there was still a lot of power between the government and the opposition, and he helped Li Qinzai solve the trouble outside the court.
A fast horse galloped again, stopped outside the carriage, and the knight saluted to Li Tao: "Old man, the other party is coming, twenty miles away from here, there are more than 100 horsemen, all of them are dead soldiers in the clan, and they have entered the ambush circle under Zeng Shibu." ”
Li Tao still didn't open his eyes, mumbled, and said in a surging voice: "Tell Zeng Shi that the trick on the battlefield back then was not lost, and the old man wants to see if Zeng Shi's ability is unfamiliar today." ”
The knight saluted with his fists, mounted his horse and left.
After the knight left, Li Tao finally opened his eyes, and his seemingly cloudy eyes looked in the direction of Taiji Palace, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Today, the Li family is facing two battlefields, this one in the eastern suburbs, Li Tao has absolute certainty, but what about the Golden Palace?
I don't know if that little bastard can hold down the scene.
…………
Twenty miles away from the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, the road is a little rough, and the pavement of the yellow earth is full of blood and stumps at this moment.
There's a bloody battle going on here.
This road is the only way to Chang'an City, and you can even faintly see the towering walls of Chang'an City when you stand here.
It's also the most relaxing place because the destination is in sight, and psychologically speaking, the most relaxing time is when you reach the end.
I have to say that Zeng Shi's choice of the ambush location was very exquisite, and he calculated people's hearts.
Just when more than 100 dead soldiers rode by, a rain of arrows suddenly released from the half-human-high grass on the side of the road.
Then two armies of soldiers and horses were killed in the grass, they were not officers and soldiers, but they were more ruthless and fatal than the officers and soldiers.
Each knife is towards the vital point of the dead soldiers, and the technique is neat and skillful, as if it has been practiced countless times, and there is quite a discipline between advance and retreat, faintly revealing the number of ways to attack the formation.
More than 100 dead soldiers were attacked by surprise and panicked instantly, but they still stubbornly guarded a carriage in the middle of the team.
In the carriage sat an old man, who was old and had a white beard.
Even if something happened outside the carriage and the dead soldiers were slaughtered one after another, the old man in the carriage still looked unchanged and calm.
Zeng Shi led the robes and the people were still desperately slashing, this was the order given to them by Li Tao.
This group of men and horses is absolutely not allowed to enter Chang'an City!
As a former striker officer of Li Tao, Zeng Shi knew the weight of this order.
Can't give a single word of discount, and the old man said that they are not allowed to enter Chang'an City, so none of these people can run away today.
Zeng Shi was already lame, but it didn't affect him to kill, and his methods were even more ruthless and cruel than back then.
The robes under his command have actually been farming in the countryside for many years, and their current identity is that of a farmer, but it does not affect them to kill people.
Many years ago, these people were all the guards around Li Tao, and in terms of personal combat strength, the guards around the general were usually god-like existences in the army.
Time may grow old, but their methods of killing people will not get old.
They are a force that Li Tao has secretly cultivated, and most of the time, the Li family will not use them, they are honest and responsible farmers.
Once used, they are doing the work of killing, so over the years, their killing skills have never slackened.
Just like the original intention of following the general when he fought in the south and the north, whoever dared to be unfavorable to the Li family would be their enemies, and they would be killed and eliminated forever.
After an hour of incense, the road was covered with blood and limbs, and the screams of the dead were getting thinner and thinner.
Before he knew it, only the last dead man remained, and his eyes were terrified, but he still held his knife and guarded the carriage, trying to protect the old man in the carriage with his last strength.
Zeng Shi straightened up, moved his sore neck and arms, and saw the stubborn appearance of the last dead man, Zeng Shi smiled disdainfully, and the horizontal knife in his hand suddenly flew out like an arrow, stabbing the dead man in the abdomen.
The dead man fell to the ground screaming, the horizontal knife stuck straight in his abdomen, and blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground.
Zeng Shi looked around and found that the damned people were all dead, so he beckoned to a robe and said, "Hurry up and report to the old man, the matter has been done." ”
Pao Ze pointed to the old man in the carriage who was still calm, and asked quietly, "Kill or not?" ”
Zeng Shi smiled: "This is an important role, whether to die or live and wait for the old man's orders." ”
…………
An hour later, a carriage slowly drove from the direction of Chang'an City.
The carriage stopped among the corpses everywhere, Li Tao slowly walked off the carriage, saw the corpses and stumps all over the ground, couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Bastard things, I don't know how to clean up after I finish my work, what should I do if I scare passers-by?" ”
Zeng Shi greeted him and smiled honestly: "The old man is angry, and the villain will clean up." ”
Li Tao swept around casually, and saw that among the corpses of the dead everywhere, one person's chest was still rising and falling slightly, Li Tao became more and more dissatisfied, and he raised his leg and kicked Zeng Shi hard.
"Are you getting older, can't lift a knife or have you become merciful? I haven't found any of the fish that slipped through the net, huh? ”
Zeng Shi followed Li Tao's gaze, couldn't help but become more and more ashamed, stepped forward in a few steps, wiped the neck of the dead man with a knife, and then said loudly: "Brothers, take a closer look, whether you are dead or not, all of them will make up for a few knives!" ”
