Chapter 22: The Assassins

After dealing with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it was time to take action against the profiteers, Li Jing immediately ordered Yue Yun to lead the troops, and the profiteers confessed by the corrupt officials and corrupt officials were taken down together, all the houses were confiscated, and all the property was confiscated and put into the treasury of Otsuka Zaifu.

The matter of rectifying the officialdom atmosphere was handed over to Han Shizhong to deal with.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the achievement [Eliminate Corruption and Eliminate Crime] and get a big gift and a copy. ”

Li Jing was secretly happy in his heart and decisively opened the gift box.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a bottle of Bollard!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000 boxes of gold sore medicine!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 40,000 cowardly Xue troops! 40,000 sets of Xuanjia!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty: Mu Huali, Chi Lao Wen, Bolhu, and Borshu!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 10,000 catties of potatoes! 500,000 pounds of ammunition!"

When he saw the Powerful Pill, the corners of Li Jing's mouth twitched, with his current physique, where did he need the Powerful Pill?

Ignoring the strong pill, the only things that satisfied Li Jing were the 40,000 cowardly Xue Jun, the four heroes of the early Yuan Dynasty, ammunition and potatoes.

The Xue Army was Genghis Khan's personal soldiers, which was formed by Genghis Khan himself, and followed Genghis Khan to unify the Mongolian steppe, which was the basis of the Mongol Empire's rule and maintained Genghis Khan's rule.

Then came the four masters of the early Yuan Dynasty.

The four of them all followed Genghis Khan to fight the world, made great achievements, were loyal, and were important generals of Genghis Khan, without them, Genghis Khan would not necessarily be able to unify the Mongolian steppes.

Li Jing summoned Mu Huali, Chi Lao Wen, Bolshu, and Bolhu, changed them into a set of armor from the Central Plains, and also gave them Han surnames.

Mu Huali was renamed Mu Li, Chi Lao Wen was renamed Wensha, Borshu was renamed Zongshu, and Borhu was renamed Zonghu.

The 40,000 cowardly Xue army was renamed the Xuanjia Four Guards, which were Mu Li commanded Pingyi Wei, Wensha commanded Dingyi Wei, Zongshu commanded Zhenyi Wei, and Zonghu commanded An Yiwei.

These four guards belong directly to Li Jing, and are responsible for protecting Li Jing's life and fighting for Li Jing.

Li Jing went back to his room to sleep, recuperate, and only tomorrow did he have the spirit to lead his troops to attack Tongguan, as long as Tongguan was taken, Chang'an would have no danger to defend, and his army would be able to drive straight in.

Outside Li Jing's bedroom, there were several black shadows, clinging to the wall, quietly sneaking towards Li Jing's bedroom.

Several figures found that outside Li Jing's bedroom, there were several guards with handles, and they immediately shot out hidden weapons.

After solving a few guards, a few quick moves stopped outside Li Jing's bedroom, with two figures at the door and four figures at the window.

Immediately, they held sharp blades in one hand and gently pushed open the doors and windows with the other, ready to rush in and hack Li Jing to death.

The six figures pounced on it like lightning, and two long knives with a flickering cold light slashed at the bed, cutting the quilt to expose cotton wool.

Fast, ruthless, and accurate, he is clearly a well-trained killer.

After slashing dozens of times, a killer stepped forward and lifted the quilt and found that the quilt was not covered by Li Jing, but a pillow, and the killer suddenly felt bad!

"Not good! We've been fooled, get out!"

Suddenly, the fire outside was soaring, and Mu Li took Pingyi Wei to surround Li Jing's bedroom.

"Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, lay down your weapons and surrender, you can be spared from death!"

Mu Li's voice came from outside.

As early as these killers infiltrated the Eastern Capital, they were discovered by Li Jing's secret agents and reported to Li Jing, so there is this scene.

As specially trained killers, they naturally won't sit idly by, and they killed them with knives!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Mu Li gave an order, and the archers immediately shot arrows.

The killers immediately waved the knives in their hands to block the arrows that came from them, and under the dense rain of arrows, the killers could only retreat while blocking, and the unlucky ones did not block the arrows, and were shot into a hornet's nest on the spot.

In the end, there were only three killers, who retreated to the bedroom, relying on the bedroom table and chair as a shield.

"Big brother! What do we do now? ”

One of the killers asked.

The killer known as the eldest brother was silent, and he didn't know what to do in the current situation!

The outside is surrounded by a large army, and if they don't surrender, they can only wait here to die.

"Listen, people inside, as long as you lay down your weapons and come out, and tell who is the mastermind behind you, and who sent you to assassinate Otsuka, you will be spared death."

Mu Li's voice came from outside again.

As professionally trained killers, they generally do not betray their masters, and even if they kill them all, they will not betray their masters.

Mu Li shouted for a long time, but he didn't see any movement inside, so he asked his soldiers to come forward to investigate.

Several soldiers ran forward and shot several hidden weapons from inside, shooting the soldiers who came forward to investigate.

Mu Li was furious!

"Get some dry firewood!"

Mu Li planned to burn it with fire, smoke it, and force the killer inside out.

The soldiers quickly brought a large amount of dry firewood, poured oil on it, and the soldiers picked up the dry firewood, blocked in front of them and rushed over, and the hidden weapons shot out of it were all shot on the dry firewood, and the soldiers put down the dry firewood and lit a fire to make the dry firewood burn.

The fire was blazing, and Mu Li asked people to bring a simple windmill and bring the smoke into the house.

Smoke soon filled the room, and the killer inside was choked half to death, and the killer, who was unwilling to surrender, chose to kill himself.

This is a professionally trained killer, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

Until the entire house burned down and no killer came out, Mu Li asked the soldiers to extinguish the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, three charred bodies were found when the scene was cleaned up.

Mu Li turned around and went to Li Jing to return to his life!

After listening to Mu Li's report, Li Jing's brows furrowed.

For the first time, he thought of Wu Zetian, and only Wu Zetian was most likely to send someone to assassinate him.

In addition, several nephews of Wu Zetian are also very suspicious, no matter what, the only people who want him to die the most are the Wu family.

He Li Jing rebelled, disrupted Wu Zetian's plan to become emperor, and destroyed the huge interests of the Wu clan, and must have hated Li Jing to death.

Normal means can't deal with Li Jing, and they can only use these indiscriminate means to deal with Li Jing.

"It seems that we can't continue to stay in the Eastern Capital, we must send troops to Chang'an as soon as possible and completely eradicate the Wu clan!"

Li Jing said.

"What does Otsuka Zai mean that tonight's killer was sent by the Queen Mother?"

Mu Li guessed.

"Although I am not sure if the killers are sent by the Wu clan, they are the most suspicious, I raised troops to damage their interests, they hate me to the core, and it is human nature to send killers to kill me! Send someone to invite the generals to come and discuss the matter!"

Li Jing said.

"Honorable Order!"

Mu Li took the order and left.

Soon, Guo Jin, Xu Da, Han Shizhong, Yue Yun, Wang Gang, Mu Li and other generals gathered to listen to Li Jing's instructions!

Li Jing asked Han Shizhong and Guo Jin to stay and garrison the eastern capital, and the others followed Li Jing to set off and send troops to Tongguan.
