This is the second time Li Bing has been assassinated by poisonous soldiers. The last time, it was in the 823 year of the Holy Tang Calendar.

That time, he had Shen Lie by his side, Xiahou Ninghan and Master Huidian, as well as Yang Xingtai, the capital of Liaodong, and other military generals.

And this time, he is already the Son of Heaven, but there is not even a decent master around.

The guards of the forbidden army who were thundering in cowhide on weekdays were like weak children in front of the poisonous assassin, and dozens of people died in the blink of an eye, and they were useless. Xu Youchang is considered to have the highest martial arts here, but he was also knocked to the ground by the other party, and his life and death are uncertain.

It's over!

Li Bing was frightened in his heart, and repeatedly asked Murong Xue what to do. Murong Xue was also very anxious, but it was a pity that he was the groom's official today, and he did not have an iron bow in his hand, nor did he have a sword on his body.

Seeing that many guests were murdered, he had nothing to do.

In a hurry, he had no choice but to say to Li Bing: "Go find a corner and pretend to be dead!" ”

"Play dead?!" Li Bingdu was almost frightened, and said in a daze: "How to pretend?" ”

Murong Xue pointed to Tian Mu not far away: "Follow him!" ”

Dong Tianxing reacted, taking advantage of Ashina's Jin to torture and kill Prince Chu, he didn't care about looking here, and hurriedly dipped some blood from the ground with his hands, and smeared it on Li Bing's face without saying anything.

Li Bingwu said to himself: "Don't you protect me and escape?" ”

"I can't escape!" Dong Tianxing said hurriedly while being busy: "Your Majesty, that demon's reaction is extremely fast, and anyone who wants to run out has been intercepted and killed by him, haven't you seen it?" Hurry up, get down, don't move! ”

Fiddling with the embarrassed emperor, Lao Dong also smeared a lot of blood on himself, and then lay straight next to Li Bing, pretending to be dead together.

At the same time, Murong Xue picked up a short knife and ran to the other side shouting, in order to lure Ashina away.

Sure enough, his deliberate noisy movements successfully attracted the attention of the other party. Ashina roared maniacly, and rushed to him in a few steps.

With his five fingers open, his sharp iron claws grabbed directly at Murong Xue's chest.

Murong Xue knew that her martial arts were far inferior to the other party, and if she really wanted to make a move, there was no other point except to send her to death. Rather than losing your life in vain, it is better to try to die together, so that you may be able to save a few more people.

Thinking of this, he didn't even dodge, and let Ashina's killing move get closer and closer, and at the same time raised his wrist, ready to stab the short knife into the other party's eyes.

Just as the claws were about to tear Murong Xue's chest apart, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side and threw him to the ground in one fell swoop, avoiding Ashina's attack.

Murong Xue was dizzy by the fall, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be Xu Youchang.

Xu Youchang turned over and jumped up, killing Ashina again, and shouted at the same time: "Don't give up!" Hold him back, reinforcements are coming! ”

Murong Xue was infected by the courage of her good brother, and she also hurriedly got up, brandished a short knife and stepped forward to fight, and cooperated with Xu Youchang to flank Ashina's jin.

At this time, there was already a faint sound of footsteps in the front yard.

"Can you hold on?" Murong Xue blocked the opponent's heavy punch with a horizontal knife, and shouted at Xu Youchang, who was blue-faced, "Is it poisoned?" ”

Xu Youchang spat out a mouthful of black blood, and replied with a cruel smile: "I can't die!" Fuck, fortunately, Xiahou Ninghan gave me an antidote pill before, otherwise I would have died by now! What about the emperor? Did you escape? ”

Murong Xue didn't care about answering, she only hummed, and desperately dodged Ashina's poisonous claws. However, the poison claw avoided it, but the flying kick that followed was not spared.

Ashina's powerful kick, impartial, just kicked Murong Xue's lower abdomen, directly kicked him backwards and flew more than two feet away, and then fell heavily between the tables, smashing the table made of nanmu to pieces.

Xu Youchang was furious, rushed to the front desperately, and slashed three times in a row, all of which slashed at the opponent's head.

However, Ashina didn't care at all, and with a ghostly move, he not only successfully dodged Xu Youchang's attack, but also knocked him down again with a backhand punch.

"Protect Your Majesty! Kill! ”

The tiger and leopard riders finally arrived at this time. A forbidden army lieutenant appeared at the gate, waving his sword and shouting angrily, and hundreds of soldiers screamed to the sky, trampling on the corpses all over the ground, as well as those lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, towards Ashina's jin.

Murong Xue was worried that the fierce battle would injure Li Bing by mistake, so she endured the pain and stood up from the broken wood, staggered to Dong Tianxing's side, and shouted while stretching out her hand to pull the emperor: "Old Dong, don't pretend to be dead, the forbidden army has entangled the assassin, let's go quickly!" ”

When Dong Tianxing heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and got up. Don't look at the old man's age of more than sixty years old, his movements are more neat than Li Bing, he helped Murong Xue drag the emperor up, and ran outside even rolling and crawling to the ground.

With their actions, many princes and ministers who pretended to be dead on the spot also came to life, and while dodging the charge of the forbidden army, they slipped through the wall and fled out of the hall.

-

As the sun sets, a gorgeous red glow hangs in the sky, which is particularly dazzling.

After tossing for two whole hours, the Pony Mansion finally returned to tranquility.

Everywhere there were stumps of flesh and blood, and the eyes were full of red; Everywhere there is a pungent fishy smell, which makes people smell sick.

Murong Xue sat on the stone next to the rockery, her whole body motionless, as if she was outside the object.

Xu Youchang hung a bandage on his left shoulder, limped closer, sat down next to him, and sighed softly: "I said a long time ago, this dilapidated house used to be the home of Xie Guang's old thief, it's really too unlucky." ”

Murong Xue smiled bitterly and turned her head to look at Xu Youchang: "How is it?" Hurts badly, right? ”

"Don't hide it from your brother," Xu Youchang grinned: "I have fought with Jiang Yao in Western Xinjiang for so many years, and I have never been so seriously injured today. Damn, almost lost his life. ”

Murong Xue shook her head and looked up to the sky and sighed, "Maybe I did something wrong, right?" Heaven will punish me like this......"

Xu Youchang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly relieved: "The matter has come to this, don't be sad." How's Uncle? Is his old man hurt? ”

Murong Xue's eyes were slightly red: "My father is fine." I was frightened, but my body was unscathed. Just my two brothers...... All were killed. and my uncle, who was disemboweled. ”

Xu Youchang was silent for a moment, and said sadly: "It's not just Murong Shengshi. I just asked the forbidden army about a total of 52 corpses in the main hall of the banquet. Except for those guards, all the rest are important ministers of the court. Including the two old princes and the Zhongshu Ling Liu Shiming, the Shangshu Ling Zhang Jian, as well as the Shangshu of the Household Department, the Military Department and the Ministry of Rites. ”

Murong Xue nodded silently, and then closed her eyes in pain.

His mood at this time was already extremely low. Although those people did not die because of him, they all came to their wedding celebrations. suffered a tragic disaster, so how will Murong Xue face the families of those victims in the future?

Xu Youchang didn't know how to persuade his brother.

A good wedding banquet ended up with a mountain of corpses and a river of blood, and everyone had to collapse. What's more, the Holy Tang Dynasty court was bloodied in one day, and countless humeral ministers were in different places, which was a unique tragedy in the history of the dynasty for more than 800 years.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the Turkic army attacked the imperial capital, it failed to cause such a large casualty to the imperial court, and today's disaster is simply a great shame.

The good brother Murong Xue is destined to be recorded in the history books. It's just that this record is not very glamorous.

Xu Youchang sighed, patted Murong Xue lightly on the shoulder, and was thinking about what to say in order to help the other party solve the problem, but he didn't expect that at this time, a forbidden soldier led Shi Feng over.

"General Xu, this brother said that he was your own soldier and had important military reports. We have been ordered to guard the Horse Mansion and cannot let anyone in easily, so I would like to ask you to make sure. ”

Xu Youchang nodded: "Yes, he is my subordinate, you let him stay." ”

When the forbidden army heard this, he agreed and retreated.

Shi Feng walked quickly and said nervously, "Xu Shuai, what's wrong?" How did it come to this? Are you seriously injured? ”

"Don't be nervous, it's okay." Xu Youchang endured the pain in his shoulders and chest, and said with a smile: "The situation here is very complicated, and when I have a chance to turn around, I will talk to you slowly." By the way, is it done? ”

Shi Feng looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Back to Xu Shuai and General Murong, the task has been successfully completed, and Shopkeeper Liu has been sent to the warehouse to rest." However, in the afternoon, the whole city suddenly became under martial law, and we were worried that the situation would change, so the new brothers arranged for them to settle down near the shopkeeper Liu to take care of them. ”

Xu Youchang was overjoyed when he heard this, and Murong Xue finally recovered some of his spirits, and the two praised Shi Feng again and again for their steady handling and great achievements.

However, Shi Feng did not have the slightest look of joy on his face: "Two generals, the situation of Shopkeeper Liu is not good. He was badly injured and remains unconscious. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Youchang suddenly became anxious.

Shen Lie is one of the best masters, his internal kung fu is quite strong, he can be injured to the point of being unconscious, it is enough to imagine how vicious Tian Mu and the others are.

"Those brutes, sooner or later, they must return with interest!" Xu Youchang turned his head and asked Murong Xue, "Do you have any healing elixir here?" ”

Murong Xue nodded: "Yes, last time, my father specially sent someone to send me two boxes of Vermilion Ice Toad, which are the most effective for external injuries." Shi Feng, you go to my housekeeper now and ask him to bring it to you. ”

Shi Feng hurriedly agreed, asked the housekeeper's name clearly, turned around and hurried away.

Xu Youchang sighed and sighed: "There is finally good news to be able to get people out smoothly, otherwise, I will really be suffocated to death." ”

Murong Xue pondered for a while, then suddenly shook her head: "No, I think the big trouble has just begun." ”

"What's the trouble?" Xu Youchang was a little surprised.

Murong Xue stared at him and said word by word: "Jiang Yao reported to the imperial court before, saying that the Turkic Khan had self-immolated and died, and today a poisonous soldier with strong martial arts and claiming to be Ashina Jin suddenly appeared, how can this be explained?" His Majesty was assassinated, his important ministers died, and at the same time, Shen Lie happened to be rescued and escaped from prison, will the imperial court consider the two things together? ”
