Chapter 587 Killed on the way
Wang Yu returned to the princess's mansion and as soon as he entered the mansion, Daquan came up to meet him.
"Princess, General Li is here, and he is also bringing a man named... Shan Xiongxin. Now in the front hall, Wang Changshi is greeting them."
Wang Yu turned his steps and walked towards the front hall.
"Brother Li, why are you here?" Wang Yu walked into the front hall with a smile.
Li Shiji hurriedly came forward: "I have met Princess Jinyang."
"I've met Princess Jinyang." Shan Xiongxin also bowed.
"You two don't have to be too polite, please sit down."
Wang Yu asked the two to sit down, and warmly greeted them to drink tea.
Li Shiji suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Princess, we are actually here to thank you this time.
"Thank you for your help, who saved my brother's life."
After the words came to an end, Li Shiji solemnly bowed.
Shan Xiongxin followed closely: "Shan thanked the princess for saving her life. If there is anything in the future, please tell Shan, and Shan will do whatever she wants."
Wang Yu smiled: "To put it, you should thank Brother Li, but in fact he saved you."
The two were confused, especially Li Shiji, who asked: "What does the princess mean?"
"Don't you remember? When we first met in Xingyang City, I promised you to send Shan Xiong's letter to you." Wang Yu reminded him.
Only then did Li Shiji remember that there was something going on.
When Wang Yu said this, he believed it because he thought Wang Yu was Li Yuan's son.
Later, when he arrived in Jinyang, he realized that Wang Yu was just talking, and she would not go to Wagang Village to snatch Shan Xiongxin.
However, now that she saved Shan Xiongxin's life, she could be regarded as keeping her promise and sent Shan Xiongxin to his side.
Li Shiji was actually very moved: "I didn't expect that although the princess is young, she is a heroine who can do what she says. Li admires it."
Shan Xiongxin was confused and asked Li Shiji: "What are you talking about?"
Li Shiji smiled and told Shan Xiongxin what happened back then.
"I see."
Shan Xiongxin clasped his fists at Wang Yu: "Princess Jinyang is indeed a heroine, and she is well-deserved, and Shan admires her."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Wang Yu bowed his fists and greeted him.
"Sit two." Wang Yu asked them to sit down, and looked at Li Shiji with bright eyes: "Brother Li, tell me about this war."
......
An hour later, Wang Yu personally sent Li Shiji and Shan Xiong to the gate of the mansion.
Li Shiji stopped and said to Shan Xiongxin: "Brother Shan, you go outside and wait for me first. I have a few words to say to the princess."
"Okay." Shan Xiongxin didn't think much and walked straight out of the mansion.
Li Shiji glanced at Shan Xiongxin's back and asked Wang Yu: "How did the princess convince the King of Qin to let Shan Xiongxin go?"
At that time, he was very persuasive and even exchanged his life for his life, but Li Shimin never agreed.
But Wang Yu's letter changed Li Shimin's mind.
He was very curious, what did Wang Yu write in the letter?
Wang Yuyun said lightly: "I have saved the Qin King's life, so I asked him to keep Shan Xiongxin's life, and he agreed."
I see.
However, Wang Yu used his life-saving grace to exchange for Shan Xiongxin's life, which was also a great kind to him.
Li Shiji said gratefully: "Li remembers the princess's great kindness. If the princess needs Li in the future, please give her instructions."
"You don't need to repay you. This is originally the promise I made back then."
Under Li Shiji's surprised gaze, Wang Yu continued, "However, I promised the King of Qin that if one day in the future, Shan Xiongxin will be enemies with the King of Qin, I will kill Shan Xiongxin with my own hands.
"Don't blame me for killing your brother at that time."
Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have promised this to the King of Qin. If there is such a day, I will never blame anyone.
"Anyway, thank you for your help.
"Princess, please stay, Li said goodbye."
......
Before Wang Yu went to the academy, he handed over the albums he had painted in the past few days to Wang Kangda: "Send these three albums to Shiwenshe and tell Manager Li to print the regular and hardcover versions first, and the original version will not be sold for the time being.
"After you have collected all the war information, you will send it to the academy to me."
"Yes, princess." Wang Kangda took the album carefully as if he was treating a treasure.
Wang Yu looked at him: "I'll ask you for everything in the mansion. Pay attention to the directions of all parties. If there is anything that cannot be handled, I'll send someone to tell me."
Wang Kangda agreed and then arranged a carriage to take Wang Yu out of the city.
----------------------
Two days later, Dou Jiande was beheaded in a downtown city, and a generation of heroes died.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan issued an order to reward the prisoners of war:
Shan Xiongxin was the general of the right guard of the Eastern Palace;
Xu Shimo was the prince's servant;
Wei Zheng cleaned his horse for the crown prince;
He was appointed as the Neishishe and also served as the Sima of the Tiance Mansion;
Yu Shinan is the lord of Tiance Prefecture;
Du Yan recorded the matter for Tiance Mansion...
He also issued an edict to order Dou Jiande's old subordinates such as Liu Heita, Gao Yaxian, Dong Kangmai and others to join the court to become officials, while Wang Shichong and his family were escorted to Shu.
When they arrived in Yongzhou, several escort officers and soldiers were resting under the tree when several officials suddenly came.
Seeing the person in the head wearing green official uniforms, the escorted official quickly met him: "I don't know if Shangguan is..."
The leading official crossed his hands towards Chang'an, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty has an oral order, and Wang Shichong stepped forward to receive the order."
When he heard that it was an envoy sent by His Majesty, the escorted officials immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go and bring Wang Shichong here."
Soon, Wang Shichong was brought over.
"Kneel down and receive the order." The officers and soldiers kicked Wang Shichong rudely.
Wang Shichong staggered and knelt down, but his upper body fell forward. He quickly leaned back and stabilized his body.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Shichong stabilized his body, the leading official pulled out his sword from his waist and stabbed Wang Shichong in the heart with a knife.
The severe pain came, and Wang Shichong looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, then raised his hand to grab the knife and prevented it from moving forward.
“Ha~”
The leading official laughed contemptuously, quickly pulled out the knife, and then slashed at Wang Shichong hard.
The officers and soldiers in charge of the escort were frightened and they did not react until Wang Shichong was cut five or six times.
"Stop, stop."
"Catch them."
The officers and soldiers rushed up immediately.
However, under the cover of his companions, the leading official quickly fled the scene.
The escort official immediately ordered: "Go and see the prisoner."
The officers and soldiers stepped forward to check Wang Shichong's injuries: "The prisoner has died."
......
When the news reached Chang'an, Li Yuan subconsciously bent his lips. It was so good that someone actually solved the big trouble for him.
The next moment, his lips pulled down and said with a gloomy face: "Who is so bold that he dares to ignore the law and commit suicide privately?
"Come on, I'm sending an order to Xiao Yu and order him to investigate the case thoroughly."
After receiving the imperial edict, Xiao Yu immediately began to investigate.
Because the murderer was not masked when he committed the crime, and the murderer only killed Wang Shichong and did not hurt the escort personnel, Xiao Yu quickly drew a portrait of the murderer based on the description of the escort personnel.
When the officials saw the portrait, they immediately recognized it.
Xiao Yu immediately came to the palace with his portrait and confession and reported to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the person who killed Wang Shichong is the governor of Dingzhou, Dugu Xiude."
"Why did he kill Wang Shichong?" Li Yuan asked.
