On the steep cliff, a large crack sinks between the boulders on both sides.

There are more than 370 steps in the middle, and the slope is extremely steep.

The width of each step is no more than one-third of the foot.

Huashan thousand-foot building.

Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the long mountain road.

On the top of the mountain, countless dense black shadows were shaking.

The wooden pillars on both sides of the trail have been destroyed, and the iron locks attached to them are long gone.

Li Jingye gave up the countless dangers in front of him and prepared to guard the thousand-foot building.

The depth of care can be seen.

"In fact, in Li Jingye's heart, he has always thought that he is better than anyone else, but the imperial court conquered Tuyuhun and Tubo, but did not choose him, but chose me." Li Xuan looked at Qin Ming, shook his head slightly, and said, "So, he is going to fight with me here, and each other will win or lose." ”

"So you judge that he must be on top of this." Qin Ming looked at the countless black shadows on the top of the mountain, and nodded a little abruptly.

"Last night, they retreated quickly, very resolutely and decisively." Li Xuan's gaze bypassed Qin Ming, looked at the bottom of the mountain and said: "We came from Luoyang too fast, and everyone who is fast can't make extra moves, if he is not on this mountain, then in the battle last night, the guards on the mountain will definitely not retreat so decisively." ”

"And today, if we break through, it is not Li Jingye on the mountain, then as soon as we make a move, everyone will know each other's details." Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the top of the mountain, his eyes raised slightly, revealing a chuckle: "But he made a mistake, we didn't come here today to compare with him, but to kill him by all means." ”

"What did he get wrong?" Qin Ming asked with some curiosity.

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "The British Duke has a great prestige in the court, he thought that in the end, if he surrendered, His Majesty would definitely look at the face of the British Duke and would give him a chance to surrender, but he forgot that I would not give him this opportunity." ”

Why did Li Jingye dare to occupy Huashan and confront Li Xuan?

Doesn't he know that Huashan has been a road since ancient times?

As long as Li Xuan blocked the way down the mountain, then Li Jingye could only be blocked on the mountain and starved to death.

The defeat of Ma Tan Street Pavilion, Li Jingye could not have known.

Therefore, Li Jingye has his own hole cards.

That is the countless military exploits that Li Wei has made for Datang over the years, promoted countless talents, and accumulated countless contacts.

As long as he puts down his blade and surrenders, then Li Xuan will inevitably let him go, and the emperor will inevitably let him go.

But unfortunately, he was mistaken, Li Xuan didn't put his mind to him, and the emperor didn't put his mind to him.

Only when Li Jingye dies will this matter completely sever the relationship with the prince.

In this way, Datang will not come to the point of abolishing the prince in the short term.

The Turks easily had no reason to oppose the Tang.

The big picture is like this, he must die.

……

"Let's do it." Li Xuan looked to the side.

Zhou Qian moved: "Huh! ”

Zhou Qian waved his hand slightly, and the next moment, the two shield players had already quickly climbed forward.

The two of them followed closely, and the four shields quickly went upward.

Even if the steps have been destroyed, it is still possible to walk upwards, but it is just difficult to walk.

Li Jingye didn't know how long he had been preparing for today.

Immediately there were more than a dozen soldiers carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, and after climbing dozens of meters, there were finally crossbow arrows falling on the top of the mountain, but all of them were nailed to the shields.

It was not until they could no longer advance that the soldiers on the mountain road stopped.

The shield bearer stared at the front, and the soldiers behind him who carried the bamboo basket began to quickly pour out all the contents of the bamboo basket one by one and spread it on the ground.

One by one, the thistles were poured to the ground, and then someone with a hammer quickly smashed them all into the rubble.

A gentle slope nailed with thistles slowly took shape in front of Li Xuan.

At this time, the four shield-bearers at the top, seeing that it was almost over, put the shield flat, sat on the shield and slid down.

It was at this time that the people above finally sensed that something was wrong and quickly rushed down.

But at this time, the crossbow bolts below were also shot decisively.

At this time, the following works are already continuing.

When the slope is almost at the end, a gentle slope suddenly rises slightly below.

The height is close to about two meters.

Under the gentle slope, dozens of long and short swords were inserted vertically on the ground.

Immediately, Li Xuan led the people and began to walk down, destroying the mountain road while laying thistles.

Especially where some cliffs were, he completely destroyed the iron chains on both sides, and all the stone nests that could be climbed were also destroyed.

In some places, he even completely collapsed the cliffs and completely buried the road below.

That is to say, this Huashan is a whole rock towering, otherwise, he would have to open a moat in it.

The action of destroying the mountain road continued, and the relevant news quickly spread to the top of the mountain above and to Li Jingye's ears.

……

East peak of Huashan, Chaoyang Terrace.

A middle-aged man wearing a black robe, a black hat, a very clean face, and no beard or anything like that, was playing chess with an old man in Tsing Yi.

Each other's faces were peaceful, and there was not much tension.

A rush of footsteps came from Nanfeng, and a nervousness could be clearly heard from the footsteps.

"Guogong, report to the next place." A black-clothed guard walked quickly to Li Jingye's side, and then knelt down directly.

Li Jingye sighed lightly, glanced at the old man in Tsing Yi opposite, and said: "I originally thought that Xuan Xuan Zhenren would play a few more plates, but I didn't expect that the following things would have an accident so quickly and offend." ”

Xuan Xuanzhen, the master of Huashan Taoist Temple, nodded calmly and said, "Guogong, please take care of yourself." ”

Li Jingye bowed slightly, then turned around, picked up the secret report and looked at it directly, followed by his breathing, and at the same time crumpled the secret report in his hand.

Immediately, Li Jingye's breathing slowed down.

He turned his head, looked at Xuan Xuan Zhenren, and said: "Originally, Jingye planned to have a good life with the king of Nanchang on this Huashan Mountain, but who would have thought that the king of Nanchang would shrink, and when he hit the thousand-foot building, he actually began to destroy the mountain road, and then kept going down." ”

"He's going to completely block the prince of the country on this 700-zhang Huashan." Xuan Xuanzhen's words directly explained Li Xuan's plan.

Li Jingye has made countless arrangements in Huashan, but Li Xuan has only one hand, making these completely useless.

Li Jingye seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he asked sideways, "How many days do we have left for food?" ”

"Guogong, there are nine days' bread left." The guards on the side immediately surrendered.

Li Jingye's face twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Xuan." ”

Xuan Xuan Zhenren stood on the side and said with emotion: "This King of Nanchang is really a good means, the "Taishang Induction Heart Sutra" has been drilled through. ”

Li Jingye looked at Xuan Xuan Zhenren with a gloomy face: "Real person, is this saying that dedication should have this report?" ”

Xuan Xuan Zhenren smiled, then shook his head, and said: "Guogong heard it wrong, Poor Dao is saying that Guogong wants to calculate the king of Nanchang, and the king of Nanchang is also calculating the Guogong, but who would have thought that all this is in Guogong's calculations." ”

"Oh?" Li Jingye's face instantly calmed down, and he asked lightly, "Why did the real person say that?" ”

"If Guogong really intends to hold on to Huashan, then in the past two months, he will not stop hoarding food here." After a slight pause, Xuan Xuan Zhenren looked up at Li Jingye and said, "This shows that Guogong did not plan to stay in Huashan for a long time from the beginning, even if he had foreseen today's battle, he did not plan to stay for a long time. ”

"I didn't expect to be seen through by a real person." Li Jingye sat down in front of the chessboard again, then glanced at Xu Xuanzhen, smiled gently, and then took out a secret letter from his sleeve, then handed it to the guard beside him, and said, "Find someone who is flexible and give it to the king of Nanchang." ”

"Whoa!" The guards immediately turned and left.

Li Jingye turned his head, and then saw Xuan Xuanzhen looking at the departing guards with a trace of compassion in his eyes.

"Is there anything wrong?" Li Jingye subconsciously looked at Xuan Xuan Zhenren.

Xuan Xuan Zhenren shook his head slightly and said: "If Poor Dao guesses correctly, this personal guard of the Duke of Guo will not be able to see the King of Nanchang at all, and this letter will not be handed over to the King of Nanchang." ”

"What the real person means is that the king of Nanchang will not take this letter at all." Li Jingye's face was completely gloomy.

Xuan Xuan Zhenren made a salute with a single palm, then looked up at Li Jingye, sighed and said: "Guogong and the king of Nanchang are both dragons and phoenixes among people, the king of Nanchang can guess the mind of the king of Nanchang, and the king of Nanchang can also guess the mind of the king of Nanchang, but the prince is a little slower." ”

Li Jingye's face was slightly ugly.

Xuan Xuan Zhenren continued to speak: "Guogong is a genius, and there are few people in the world who can be regarded by Guogong, even the king of Nanchang is not among them, but unfortunately, Guogong seems to have underestimated the king of Nanchang from beginning to end, so today, Guogong is afraid that he will suffer this loss." ”

"What does the real person mean is that the real abacus in the heart of dedication has been seen through by the king of Nanchang?" A hint of murder flashed in Li Jingye's eyes.

Xuan Xuan Zhenren smiled lightly, and then said: "Haven't you noticed that the king of Nanchang is unwilling to face the prince of Guo, and even a word or a letter, he is unwilling to listen to it or read it, because he knows that the prince has a plan in his heart." ”

"Dedication is still the prince of the dynasty, although he has done some wrong things, but after all, he has not been tried by the three law divisions, is he really like this, and he killed his father directly without listening to a word." Li Jingye gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred.

"Did Guogong do anything to make the king of Nanchang alert." Xuan Xuan Zhenren raised his head, looked at Li Jingye calmly, and said: "It can be seen that the king of Nanchang does not have an ordinary hatred for Guogong, so his understanding of Guogong is probably far above Guogong's understanding of him." ”

Li Jingye's brows furrowed instantly, and he immediately thought of the roster he had put in the secret room.

On the last page of that roster, there happened to be a clue that could connect the king of Nanchang.

It's just that after the roster was sent to the palace, Li Jingye never heard from it again.

I don't know if the emperor and the Empress Wu showed the roster to the king of Nanchang, which made him hate himself so much.

……

Raising his head, Li Jingye looked at Xuanxuan Zhenren gently, and said: "The real person is also a six-grade real person canonized by the imperial court, if the real person is willing to accompany Jingye on a trip, the king of Nanchang always has to give some face, right?" ”

Xuan Xuan Zhenren shook his head lightly, looked at Li Jingye with pity in his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that the king of Nanchang is ready, and he wants to prepare for the martyrdom of the country." ”

Li Jingye instantly glared at Xuan Xuan Zhenren, and then sneered.
