Chapter 1210: Ambush and Killing (I)
A secret decree went out of the palace gate and fell into the hands of Song Sen, the head of Yongzhou, the Hundred Horsemen.
Long Yan was furious, thunder storm.
Li Zhi strictly ordered the hundred horsemen to find Lu Jiayiduo, and the palace guards were responsible for killing him.
Under an order, the subordinates of the Hundred Cavalry Division quickly took action.
Lu Jiayiduo escaped from the pavilion of Honglu Temple, but Song Sen already knew that he and his entourage were hiding in a shop owned by Hu people in Xishi.
However, at this time, it was already dawn, and Chang'an West Market had been opened, as the only super city in the world, after the West Market opened, the flow of people instantly filled the streets.
When the Hundred Horsemen broke into the shop, he found that Lugaita and his entourage who were hiding in the shop were gone.
Obviously, there were hundreds of horsemen staring around the shop, but Lu Jiayido just disappeared.
The biggest possibility is that when the West Market opened after dawn, Lu Jiayido and his entourage changed their clothes and quietly left the West Market in the crowd.
Song Sen, who got the news, was shocked and angry.
The meat that was sent to his mouth flew away, how could the Son of Heaven trust the Baiqi Division after he said it?
There are also remedial measures, one is to block the city gate, and then the whole city, this method is unrealistic, Chang'an is a super city with a population of more than one million, if it is the whole city, I don't know how bad the impact will be on the Tang Dynasty, and the city is too big, it can't be searched at all.
The second is to mobilize the guards out of the city, guard the roads outside Chang'an City in all directions, and wait for the rabbits to be guarded by the guards, and kill Lu Jiayiduo outside the city.
Song Sen immediately called the Praetorian Guard General, and after the two discussed, they decided to choose the second method.
So the guards of Chang'an City were mobilized, and the army was divided into more than a dozen and rushed to the main roads outside the city gate.
Only on the road outside the Anhua Gate, the Praetorian Guards were about to set off, but they were stopped by Song Sen.
He knew that Li Qinzai was guarding outside the Anhua Gate, and after analysis, if Lu Jiayiduo wanted to escape, he was most likely to flee from the south, cross the Han River and turn to Tibet, and the Anhua Gate was the southern gate of Chang'an.
…………
The pursuers attacked, and the wind was loud.
Ten miles outside the Anhua Gate, Li Qinzai and his subordinates were still waiting quietly.
The principle of setting up an ambush and sniping is actually the same as hunting prey, and what is more important than force is the patience to grit your teeth and persevere.
A good hunter can often endure loneliness, and he has the determination to win his prey.
Li Qinzai had been on the battlefield and killed the enemy with his own sword, and he knew what an ambush should be.
Thousands of troops have experienced it, and this little battle at the moment is really nothing.
Time was passing slowly, Li Qinzai looked up at the sky, he had arrived here early in the morning, and now it was almost noon, and he had been waiting for a full morning.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, most of them are peddlers and pawns, most of them are caravans of various countries, and there are errand servants who hurriedly come and go to deliver official documents, and so on.
Everyone who passed by, the tribesmen, carefully screened it to make sure that Lugaita was not mixed in.
After noon, Li Qinzai finally had self-doubts, it stands to reason that Lu Jiayi should have left the city a long time ago, and the current Chang'an City should have been scouted and searched throughout the city.
With Li Zhi's temper, after experiencing such a great humiliation, he will inevitably even mobilize the guards in the palace in order to kill the person who deceived him.
How could Lu Jiayiduo still stay in Chang'an City?
Pressing down his impetuous mood, Li Qinzai waited patiently for a while.
The emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and finally, a member of the Li family hurried over on horseback, his face full of excitement.
"Fifth Shaolang, there is a suspicious cavalry team coming out of Anhua Gate!"
Li Qinzai snorted and said, "What kind of dress are the cavalry team wearing?" ”
"There were fourteen horsemen, all of them wearing sheepskin felt hats, dressed in the colors of Persian merchants, and some of them had golden hair."
"How do you tell if they're suspicious?"
"All of them covered their faces with black cloths, sat on the horse and hung their heads and waists, for fear that others would recognize them, and ...... A cavalry team from Persia had only a dozen horses, and the shopkeeper was not afraid of death. ”
Bu Qu smiled and said: "What's more, when they left Chang'an City, more than a dozen horses didn't bring any Tang products, so they rode horses and returned to Persia empty-handed?" ”
"Although the villains are not engaged in trading, they still understand the most basic truth, if they are really Persian merchants, they will simply go bankrupt this back and forth."
Li Qinzai smiled: "It's really suspicious, if nothing else, it should be Lu Jiayiduo's party." ”
Immediately, Li Qinzai's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Robes, set up an ambush and line up!" ”
The tribes snapped and then quickly dispersed.
In the middle of the avenue, a hundred Li family members lined up with halberds, and the air around them suddenly froze.
The howling cold wind, the neat iron armor, and the cold glow of the halberd tip all revealed strong signals to passers-by.
A killing is about to begin.
Passers-by were frightened by the momentum exuded by this song, and they took the initiative to dodge, and some simply jumped off the road and ran into the mountains and forests next to the road, for fear of being senselessly affected.
An hour later, the cavalry finally arrived.
The speed of the cavalry was fast, and they hurried on their way, whipping the horses below them without pity, and turning their heads as they galloped, as if they were afraid of the pursuers behind them.
When there were still about fifty paces away from the Li family's array, the leader of the cavalry suddenly grabbed the reins, and the whole cavalry had to stop.
Everyone stared straight ahead, their expressions slowly changing from initial shock to despair.
Fifty paces ahead, on the avenue, a group of 100 men in armor had lined up in a neat queue, holding halberds in their hands, quietly waiting for them.
Their iron armor was thick and mighty, and even their faces were covered with iron armor, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
In the silence, a thick killing intent permeated the surroundings.
Looking at the back of the array, there was a man and a rider standing quietly, it was Li Qinzai in a civilian robe, he was looking at this self-defeating cavalry with a smile, the smile on his face was still so humble and gentle, but the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed.
The leader of the cavalry was silent for a long time, and simply took off the sheepskin felt hat on his head, revealing that familiar face.
Sure enough, it was Lugayido.
Li Qinzai nodded with a smile: "The master has been gone for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”
Lu Jiayiduo's expression was both frightened and desperate, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and said calmly: "Li Jungong is waiting for me here? ”
Li Qinzai sighed with a smile: "The master is the general of Huaihua who is enshrined by His Majesty, and he is also the Langzhong of the Taishi Bureau, how can he leave the city in a hurry today, how can there be no one to send him?" ”
"Li is not talented, and he is willing to give the master a ride in person."
Lu Jiayi said coldly: "Don't work to send each other, I will go out of the city on business at the behest of the Tang Dynasty, and I also ask Li Jungong not to obstruct it." ”
Li Qin Zaile was happy: "Isn't this a coincidence, isn't it, I also obeyed the will of the Son of Heaven......"
Lu Jiayi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously blurted out, "What is the will of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Li Qinzai's smile gradually narrowed, and his tone gradually froze: "The Son of Heaven said that he wants to kill you." ”
