Chapter 271: Killing the Prince
Li Yunxing looked Liu Zhongqing up and down, he heard it right?
On the way to the southeast camp, this old man Liu shouted noisily that he was too old to hurry, and almost carried him over like an ancestor.
Now that he finally beat the remnants of the Huns away, he didn't go back to the carriage to rest, but actually wanted to follow the river.
"Lord Liu should be old and strong, full of power and patriotism, where do I dare to stop it, lend you my fast horse, and Lord Liu must be careful of the ambush of the Hun army."
Liu Zhongqing always felt that Li Yunxing's eyes were very strange, as if he knew what he was thinking.
But even if he knew, what could he do, now he only had 2,000 forbidden army guards left in his hands, and the number of the southeastern army left behind exceeded 20,000, and when the time came, they would surround more than 2,000 people, and they could be killed by random arrows.
Killing the prince is indeed a big crime, and when the time comes, all the sins will be blamed on the Xiongnu and the remnants, and the Liu family can take advantage of the situation to support the virtuous king Li Yuntian to ascend to the throne.
At that time, everything is the world of his Liu family, and it is not what they say is what it is.
Liu Zhongqing thought of this, and became more and more proud in his heart, no matter what Li Yunxing thought, he climbed on the fast horse with the support of the guards, and led a few guards to ride away.
If it weren't for the sake of avoiding suspicion, so as not to cause trouble in the future, Liu Zhongqing really wanted to be in the same place and see how Li Yunxing, the evil obstacle, died.
Seeing that Liu Zhongqing's horse gradually disappeared and disappeared, he turned his head to look at Liu Chen.
"You can ask the army to repair here, and we will continue north to the city of Decadence."
Liu Chen thought of a bad idea in his heart, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he nodded again and again.
"Okay, the prince will also go back to the camp to rest and rest, and we will set off after we have settled the wounded."
Li Yunxing nodded, and really went to rest in the newly set up tent.
Jiang He led his troops to chase the remnants of the fleeing Huns, and Jin Xi ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal and bring it in.
"Your Highness, in order to bring the southeast army to this place as soon as possible and kill the Huns, I didn't have a good meal, and I will continue to go north for a while, I specially asked the cook to stew the rabbit meat, Your Highness still have a bite."
Li Yunxing glanced at it lightly.
Jinxi said hurriedly.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this is the cook lady that the forbidden army guards are looking for in the local area, and there is absolutely no problem."
Since the last incident of accidentally eating poisonous weeds, Jinxi has been unable to believe the cooks in the southeast army, sometimes calling the guards who are good at cooking to cook, and sometimes looking for cooks in the local area.
In short, he still ensured that Li Yunxing's food was exquisite.
Li Yunxing smiled, Jinxi had been by his side for a long time, and he gradually figured out his temperament, and he became more and more appropriate.
He was about to start eating the rabbit meat, but suddenly he heard a series of footsteps, and when he stepped out of the tent, he saw that the forbidden army guards had already protected the tent.
On the opposite side of the forbidden guard, it was the people of the southeastern army with weapons that surrounded everyone.
The leader is Liu Chen.
Li Yunxing frowned.
"Liu Chen, you led troops to surround my tent, didn't you want to rebel?"
As soon as Liu Chen heard the words "rebellion and rebellion", his buttocks subconsciously felt pain.
He gritted his teeth, Li Yunxing's bullying of him, he remembered it in his heart, and never dared to forget it.
"Li Yunxing, don't think that you are now the prince of the prison country, you can go to my southeast camp and be rampant, now on the border of the Chu River, I will kill you, but I can push your death on the Chu State or the Xiongnu, and no one will find out that it has anything to do with me."
"When you forced my brother to death, pressed me with rebellion, and punished me with military regulations, did you ever think that you would die at my hands today?"
Li Yunxing knew that he was indignant in his heart, but he didn't expect him to want to kill himself directly.
"I am with the southeast army and drive the Xiongnu away, Chu An of Chu State saw it with his own eyes, if I die, can you really escape the relationship?"
Liu Chen smiled coldly.
"It's all dying, you're still stubborn, if you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy now, wait until next year's death day, and I can burn paper to tell you about it."
When Li Yunxing saw Liu Chen's expression, he knew that he would kill himself today, but he also figured out some things.
No wonder Liu Zhongqing said just now that he wanted to go to investigate the situation on the other side of the river, it turned out that he was looking for a reason to leave here first, so as not to be involved in the assassination in the future.
"I understand that your Liu family father and son want to kill me, but the soldiers of the southeast army, you are the people of my Wu Dynasty, I am the prince of the Wu Dynasty, and you are your master, are you really sure that for the grievances of the Liu family father and son, you will betray your father and seek glory?"
The soldiers of the southeastern army looked at each other, they were just soldiers, and listening to the words of the generals was already engraved in the bone marrow.
But no matter which general it is, they have never let them kill the emperor and the prince, this is the crime of killing the king, if it is investigated, it will even punish the nine clans.
But if they didn't listen to Liu Chen, they didn't have to wait for accountability, they would be directly beheaded on the spot for disobeying military regulations.
So now only by killing Li Yunxing can there be a glimmer of life.
And if it is really as the general said, Li Yunxing's death can be blamed on the Xiongnu or Chu State, and no one blames them, then they can completely bury the matter, and there will be no guilt.
Seeing the expressions of these soldiers of the Southeast Army, Li Yunxing already knew that if he wanted to start with the soldiers, it would not work to rebel.
Liu Chen's eyes were full of pride, now, on the side of the Chu River, far away from the capital of the Wu Dynasty, Chu An of the Chu State had already led his troops back, and no one could stop her.
Thinking of being able to kill the crown prince of the dynasty, Liu Chen was inexplicably excited, and even his hands were a little shaky, but he still held on to the command, and in an instant, all the soldiers of the southeast army immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
Although they knew that the forbidden army guards were strong in martial arts, the other party only had two thousand people, and their number was more than 10 times that of these forbidden army guards, and in this case, the other party would not be able to last long.
That's why these people rushed forward one by one, but the soldiers who rushed behind suddenly found that the soldiers in front just screamed and suddenly fell.
And when all the soldiers in front fell, the soldiers behind were exposed, only to find that those forbidden guards were carrying a small weapon in their hands.
They had never seen such a weapon, like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, capable of shooting short arrows, and so powerful that it could almost kill with a single arrow.
But it's not like drawing a bow and archery, you need to prepare for the arrow, and you need to shoot the arrow.
Moreover, the short arrows were so thin and short that they had not noticed that the guards of the Praetorian Army were carrying a cloth bag full of them.
In a matter of moments, more than 200 soldiers had fallen to the ground.
