Li Chengcheng didn't expect that the person who reported to Li Xiancheng turned out to be the precept elder of the Huashan faction.

Fu Qingquan is old-fashioned, when he was an elder of the precepts, he was old-fashioned and upright, his six relatives did not recognize, and he was also quite chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, but why did he become a traitor in the comparison?

Maybe it's because of hatred, maybe it's because of interests, or maybe it's because of some unavoidable hardship, whatever the reason, he finally got out of that step.

To do is to do, and people are always responsible for their actions.

Li Tingcheng didn't understand, and he didn't want to figure it out.

Among the three, Zhao Lanjiang likes to simplify complex problems, and when he encounters problems, he directly solves them with his fists and knives, and if he can't solve them, he admits it, and then finds a way to improve his strength, and then tries to solve them.

Li Chengcheng is different, since he was born, his status has determined that he does not need to look at other people's faces. In his eyes, there are no complicated problems at all, and nine out of ten of all the problems in the world can be solved with money, and problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

On the contrary, when Xiao Jinyan encounters problems, he always likes to think more. He can have no bottom line, but he has principles, Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang agreed that with Xiao Jinyan coming forward, the two of them only need to contribute. Although, at times, he also tried some bad ideas.

Li Chengcheng took Fu Qingquan's head and went to Zhao Lanjiang to join him.

......

Hidden Yang City Head.

The guard Li Biao lay on a chair and poured himself a drink. This Hu chair, made of ebony, was transported here by Hu merchants from the Western Regions to honor him. Although there are rules in the army, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during the period of duty, but this is the head of Yinyang City, as the guard of Yinyang City, except for Li Xiancheng, who can restrain him?

He and his brother Li Han were originally two broken households in Yinyang City, drinking and gambling money, all of them were fine, and later mixed into the White Horse Righteous Servant, and became the captain of the army by slipping the whiskers and beating the horse, but because of the clever robbery of a common people, they were caught by the general Li Xianzhong, punished with a rod for twenty, expelled from the White Horse Righteous Servant, and fell back to the streets.

It was Li Xiancheng who gave him a chance.

Over the years, he secretly helped Li Xiancheng train soldiers and horses outside Yinyang City, and became his confidant, and now he has been entrusted with an important task by Li Xiancheng and has become the guard of the city gate, and Li Xianzhong, who scolded him with a cane, has become a prisoner.

In the past few days, he has tasted power.

After the change of Yinyang, despite martial law, there was still an endless stream of people who visited his home every day, and even the shopkeepers and bosses who had looked down on him back then also came to the door one after another, expressing their loyalty, and proposing some cooperation opportunities in the future in the Yinyang business.

Of course, his seventy-year-old grandfather, today pointed at his nose and scolded him for forgetting his ancestors, this old stubborn, relying on a few battles back then, relying on the old and selling the old, teaching himself a lesson, made him very uncomfortable. So he ran to the top of the city.

This is his territory.

Holding wine, enjoying the night view, looking at the two human heads hanging from the mast of the city wall, there was an indescribable pride in his heart, a few glasses of wine fell into his stomach, and he began to plan his life after that.

After Li Xiancheng ascended the throne, he was the founder of the country. If you can't be a prince, you have to get a prince, build a mansion in the best part of Qinglongfang, and marry a few concubines.

Before you know it, the flask is empty.

He stretched out his hand and said, "Pour the wine!"

A pair of hands reached over and filled his glow-in-the-dark cup.

Li Biao took a sip, only to feel that there was a fishy smell with a hint of saltiness.

It's blood!

He woke up suddenly, there were thousands of guards at the head of Yinyang City, and there were nearly 100 guards where he was, who came here quietly?

He was about to look up when an iron knife crossed his neck. A voice said coldly, "There are two arteries in the neck of a person, as long as you move around, the knife in my hand will inevitably not slip." ”

Li Biao's strength was suddenly gone, he felt a chill in his back, and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know. ”

"Do you know who I am?"

"The Dying!"

Li Biao was shocked and said, "Do you know that there are 100 guards at the head of this city, if you dare to touch a single of my cold hairs, I will ensure that you will not be able to leave alive." ”

The man laughed, "Turn around." ”

Li Biao turned around, and in an instant, his face turned gray. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all of them killed with a single knife, and even before they died, they didn't even have a chance to warn.

"I ask, you answer." ”

Li Biao saw the other party's face at this time, he boasted of his excellent memory, he had never seen such a plain face, but there was a scar on his face, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Can you spare my life?"

The man shook his head, "It can make your death a little more painful." ”

Li Biao chose to remain silent.

The man reached out and tapped at his acupoint, picked open his chest with a knife, grabbed a mouse out of nowhere, and fastened an iron bucket to his chest.

He held a torch in his hand, and while heating it, he said to Li Biao, "The rat has a pair of rodents, and even the hardest nanmu can be gnawed, if you don't answer, then you can only pray, your chest is harder than this iron bucket." “

The torch burned, Li Biao felt the heat on the iron bucket, and also felt the rat jumping up and down his chest restlessly, a sharp pain came, and the rat began to bite.

He couldn't help but make a sound, and the man reached out and tapped his dumb.

The man asked, "How many soldiers and horses does Li Xiancheng still have in Yinyang City, where are they placed, and where are Li Xianzhong and his four commanders imprisoned?"

Li Biao's limbs moved wildly, still without saying a word.

The man said, "Even the trained spies of Xichu can't stand this, you have a kind!"

At this time, I heard another person, "Zhao Lanjiang, you ordered his dumb hole, even if he said it, he must be able to speak?" As he spoke, a man in a cloth suit jumped up to the city, threw the burden in his hand to the ground, and dropped a human head.

When Li Biao heard the words "Zhao Lanjiang", he fainted.

Zhao Lanjiang smiled embarrassedly, "I haven't used it for many years, and my methods are a little rusty." He glanced at the head on the ground, it turned out to be Fu Qingquan of the Huashan faction, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the traitor turned out to be him." ”

Li Chengcheng said, "I didn't expect it either. ”

Not far away, there was a clanging sound, and the two looked down into the city, but it was a watchman who saw the corpse on the ground and ran away in fright.

"The traitor will soon arrive, what shall we do?"

Zhao Lanjiang looked at the head of Ha Jiangyi hanging on the mast, and a sense of grief and indignation arose in his heart, this robe who had fought side by side did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of the Hidden Yang traitor, and said, "Old eight, you can go with peace of mind, one day, I will hang Li Xiancheng's head on the head of this Hidden Yang City!"

He glanced at Cao Zhi's head again, and said, "After all, it is an official of the imperial court, hanging on the head of the city, losing the face of the court, and burying it together." ”

Li Tingcheng pointed at Li Biao,

"Where's this guy?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "On these two masts, I always feel that something is missing, so let's replace their heads." ”

Li Biao was lying on the chair and pretending to be dead, when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and struggled to escape, Zhao Lanjiang put the rope around his neck and kicked him under the city, Li Biao struggled in the air for a long time, and gradually stopped moving. Li Chengcheng hung Fu Qingquan's head on the mast.

Zhao Lanjiang dipped his blood and wrote a sentence.

"Murderer, Zhao Lanjiang is also. ”

In the distance, the shouts of officers and soldiers were heard, "Catch the traitor!"

The sound is getting closer.

Seeing this, the two jumped off the city and disappeared into the moon.

......

Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Provocation! naked provocation!"

Overnight, there were two bloody cases in a row, and the people who were killed were all Li Xiancheng's subordinates, which made Li Xiancheng angry.

Kill, leave a book.

This is a declaration of war on Li Xiancheng.

"At the enthronement ceremony in three days, I want to see Zhao Lanjiang's head!" Li Xiancheng roared.

Chai Gong said, "Now that we are in the light and they are in the dark, it is not so easy to find him." ”

"I don't care what method you use, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find him, offer a reward all over the city, and those who provide clues to Zhao Lanjiang will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and all the masters of the City Lord's Mansion will be ordered to kill Zhao Lanjiang, ten thousand taels of gold. ”

Chai Gongwang thought for a moment, "If you act rashly, it will only make him hide, instead of letting him hide in the dark to sabotage, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole, I have a good plan, it is easy to capture Zhao Liangjiang alive." ”

Li Xiancheng asked, "Tell me about it." ”

"In the past few days, Zhao Lanjiang will definitely not stop. I have checked the yellow calendar, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, according to the custom, before ascending the throne, to ask the gods for divination, the lord can go to Huguo Temple to burn incense and burn watches, worship the heavens, and then ambush heavy soldiers in the temple, once the other party appears, it will be difficult to fly!"

Li Xiancheng said, "Chai Gong, it's really my Zhang Ziyi!"

Chai Gongwang was stunned, "What?"

"It's the prime minister who assisted Han Gaozu. ”

"Oh, that's called Zhang Zifang. ”

"Whatever, when the matter is completed, I will make you the left prime minister, and the right prime minister, and the upper pillar country and the lower pillar country!"

Chai Gongwang looked so happy that he couldn't kneel down, "Thank you, Lord Longen! It's just that the minister is a little panicked." ”

"Where does the fear come from?"

Chai Gongwang said sadly, "This strategy requires the lord to put himself in danger, and the minister can't worry about the lord and the minister, and the minister is deeply ashamed, very ashamed!"

Li Xiancheng sneered, "For the sake of hegemony for thousands of years, what is it to risk your life." After thinking about it, "However, since Chai Gong is so loyal, why don't you lead the snake out of the hole, you can do it for me!"

Chai Gongwang couldn't wait to slap himself twice at this time, damn it, he had some kind of blind idea, what nonsense he said, he went around and around, and he actually got himself in.

He said with sincere fear, "Lord, this strategy is not a perfect plan, why don't you change to a different one?"

Li Xiancheng slapped Chai Gongwang on the shoulder, and he grinned in pain, "Chai Gong, time waits for no one." ”

Chai Gong said, "My lord, the minister is a civil servant, and he doesn't know martial arts, I'm afraid that the lord's affairs will be ruined." ”

Li Xiancheng said, "Haven't you seen the yellow calendar, tomorrow is an auspicious day of the zodiac, you won't die." ”
