Chapter 435: The Shock of the Imperial Village (Part 2)

For the sake of reputation, Li Yu allowed the farmers in Huangzhuang to harvest wheat, but Changsun Quanxu was quite nervous. Li Mi repeatedly reminded him to strengthen his defense. He knew that the emperor had offended too many people for the reform of the land, and these powerful people were willing to give up. They would definitely take various opportunities to deal with Li Yu. Li Yu came to Huangzhuang to inspect. This was his first foreign inspection since he ascended the throne. This was the opportunity for those powerful people who hated him to the core.

Changsun Quanxu did not dare to be careless at all. He strengthened the post and did not allow farmers to enter the wall to cut wheat within a hundred steps. He also ordered all imperial guards not to sleep at night and strictly protect the safety of the imperial house.

That's it, Changsun Quanxu was still worried, so he sent more than a dozen cavalry teams to patrol near the imperial village.

Time has gradually come to the first update, but the farmers in the wheat fields are still trying hard to harvest. It seems that they are about to stay up late and fight, without any movement for several hours. Changsun Quanxu is also a little lazy. He sits on the couch and is dozing. At this moment, a burst of rapid running sounds came from outside, which wakes Changsun Quanxu up suddenly.

"What's the matter?" he asked with some displeasure.

"General Changsun, something abnormal was found in the wheat field."

"What's the abnormality? Come in and talk."

When he walked into a sergeant, he bowed and said, "More than two hours ago, the sentry found a large group of people harvesting wheat in the wheat field on the east side of the Huangzhuang. But after two hours, the group of people were still harvesting wheat on the spot, but the problem was that the wheat fields they harvested did not increase."

Changsun Quanxu was also a little surprised. What were these people doing without harvesting wheat? What were they doing when they got together in the middle of the night?

"Prepare my horse, I'm going to see it myself."

In the night, Li Chengning and his men were still waiting for the opportunity, but they did not realize that they had been paid attention to the posts in the wall. Just as they could see someone shaking in the posts, the posts could also see someone cutting wheat in the wheat field. At the beginning, the posts might not have paid attention to his abnormal behavior, but as time passed, the loopholes of these wheat-cutters emerged. Why did the area of ​​the wheat field they cut did not increase?

Perhaps because Li Chengning was a little nervous, he did not realize that there had been a loophole in them. He was still waiting. Lin Sheng's information told him that there would be a big patrol during the second update, and about 1,000 soldiers went out of the imperial village hall to patrol. At that time, only 2,000 soldiers were left in the hall. Li Chengning was waiting for this moment.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came faintly from afar. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. It seemed that someone was coming here. A team of soldiers came towards them, led by a horse-riding general who stopped when they were still a hundred steps away.

"Who are you?"

Li Chengning was so nervous that his heart was pounding. He pinched the gun bar with his hands and almost sweated. He heard the sound. It turned out to be Changsun Quanxu. He gave his subordinates a wink, and his subordinate immediately replied: "I am a villager who harvested wheat in Wangwuzhuang. This wheat field is our land."

In the darkness, Changsun Quanxu couldn't see their appearance clearly. In addition, most people were invisible in the wheat waves, and the wheat ears blocked their clothes. However, Changsun Quanxu still saw the problem. In other villages, men, women, young and old all went on battle, and there were all men here, and they seemed to be very strong.

He became more and more suspicious, so he said to his subordinates: "Go up and take a look!"

A dozen soldiers rushed over along the fields.

Li Chengning knew that they had been exposed, so he said with a heartbroken: "Prepare to use arrows!"

Two hundred crossbowmen slowly clasped the crossbow tightly, and the soldiers were getting closer and closer, only thirty steps away from them. "General, it's not right!"

A soldier discovered their weapon, and Li Chengning shouted, "Call!"

Two hundred crossbows were raised, aimed at the soldiers and Changsun Quanxu who were a hundred steps away. The crossbow arrows were shot together. The powerful crossbow arrows passed through the wheat waves. Two hundred arrows were whizzing at the other side. More than a dozen soldiers were caught off guard and all screamed and fell to the ground. Changsun Quanxu was shocked. He instinctively lie on the horse and dodged two arrows to death, but his war horse did not dodge. He was shot at the same time by three arrows. The war horse neighed and fell sideways, throwing Changsun Quanxu into the wheat field. The three hundred subordinates brought by Changsun Quanxu were also repeatedly shot, screaming.

"Go! Kill them."

Li Chengning shouted loudly and rushed up with a spear. His five hundred men followed him. At this time, the harsh bells on the guardhouse were rumbling, "There are assassins! There are assassins!" The sentry was shouting loudly.

Changsun Quanxu climbed up from the wheat field. The thick wheat waves saved his life, but his ears were shot through by an arrow, and blood flowed. He had never suffered such a big loss and couldn't help but be angry, but soon he woke up. This was an assassin. It was the emperor who was going to assassinate, not Changsun Quanxu. If he died here, who would command the defense of the Yulin Army?

"Not good! Withdraw back to the imperial village immediately."

Changsun Quanxu turned around and ran away. These men in black were very skilled in martial arts, and they must be selected as killers. If they were allowed to sneak into the imperial farm, the consequences would be unimaginable. Protecting the emperor is important!

He didn't care about his image and ran away. His subordinates also ran with him desperately. Seeing these soldiers running fast, Li Chengning couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Run like a rabbit!"

"Don't chase after me, climb over the wall and enter the village!"

With his order, five hundred dead men rushed towards the high wall of the imperial village. The wall of the imperial village was about three meters high, thick and wide, and the wall was very smooth and difficult to climb. However, these men in black had received special training. They took out the quilts and threw them onto the wall one after another. The iron hook hooked the wall. Five hundred men in black rushed up the wall like monkeys, and arrows shot like raindrops. The soldiers of the Yulin Army who were ambushing the high wall were prepared. They had sent posts at all corners. At present, there were only assassins in the east. The Yulin Army ambushed two thousand heavy troops, waiting for the assassins to arrive, and the other 1,000 people protected the Peony Tower.

The man in black underestimated the enemy. In the eyes of ordinary Chang'an people, the Yulin Army was a famous family. He was dressed brightly, tall and big, and was just a guard of honor who looked good on the outside. But in fact, they were like candids, only knowing how to find flowers and willows. When they really fought, they were extremely decayed. In the Li Longji era, this almost became the consensus of Chang'an people and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Li Yu's Yulin Army was different. Some of his Yulin Army were Shuofang Army. When Changsun Quanxu controlled some of the Shuofang Army in the Qinggangling Camp, these Shuofang Army later joined the Yulin Army and Wanqi Camp. During the Eastern Tour, Li Yu did not like to be extravagant and was allowed to lead only 3,000 people at most. Li Mi suggested that Changsun Quanxu select elite soldiers to guard them. Therefore, these three thousand Yulin Army were not so-called famous families, but were all elite soldiers of the Shuofang Army back then, and the weapons they carried were also practical killing weapons.

The man in black did not expect that the Yulin Army's arrow rain was so powerful. More than 40 people were killed or injured in a moment. He screamed and fell from the wall. The rest were suppressed and jumped back to the wheat field.

At this time, Li Chengning also calmed down. He remembered the corresponding plan he planned. If it was discovered, it would be scattered in. He immediately ordered: "Scatter, go in from all sides, and target the Peony Tower."

Five hundred people were divided into ten teams in advance, each with fifty people, each with a team of commanders, and the tasks were allocated in advance. Seeing that the strong attack was not good, the five hundred people immediately dispersed and climbed over the wall and entered the hospital from four directions. This time their attack was effective. The Yulin Army had to disperse against them, and the arrow rain was not as dense as before. Men in black jumped into the courtyard and fought fiercely with the Yulin Army soldiers. Someone lit the pile of forage, and the flames suddenly soared into the sky.

There was a loud shout of killing in the imperial village hall, and a fire was lit up. The sound was heard ten miles away. The farmers who were harvesting wheat were so scared that they fled back to the village. There was no one in the endless wheat fields. However, to the west of the museum, there was a black army on the official road ten miles away, which lasted for several miles. The general was Meng Yun, the general of the Jinwu Guard. After betraying Li Qing'an in Hexi, he was valued by Li Yu. Now he has become the strongest general in Chang'an and has the most troops in his hands.

Meng Yun looked at the hall with cold eyes, and rode on the horse without any reaction. It seemed that Li Yu's life or death had nothing to do with him. At this time, a horse slowly stepped forward, and it was immediately a middle-aged man in green robe. The moonlight shone on his face. It was the Supreme Emperor Li Heng.

When Meng Yun saw him coming up, he bowed and bowed. Li Heng waved his hand, and ordered him not to be polite. He stared for a moment and asked, "Do you think they will succeed?"

Meng Yun shook his head, "This time, the three thousand Yulin Army brought by Changsun Quanxu are all elites in Shuofang and have strong combat power. These assassins are not troops. Although they seem to be very skilled in martial arts, they are actually mobs, do not understand tactics, do not know discipline, and rely only on the power of courage. Although such people are brave and strong for a while, they cannot last for a long time. They will inevitably be defeated after their sharpness is frustrated. The Supreme Emperor please wait and see, and the result will be achieved in at most half an hour."

Li Heng smiled and said, "General Meng is worthy of being a veteran. He can see through thoroughly and have a long-term vision!"

Meng Yun's face turned slightly red and he hurriedly said, "The Supreme Emperor is too rewarded, and he is ashamed of humility!"

Li Heng nodded and praised: "General Meng doesn't have to be too humble. Even Li Qing'an suffered a great loss in your hands. He is still worried. This shows that General Meng's ability is super-human. I will not read it wrong. Please rest assured General Meng, my promise will be fulfilled!"

Although Meng Yun was ashamed of Li Yu, when he thought of the promise Li Heng gave him, his heart was filled with blood. He threw away all loyalty and righteousness. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to serve the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Heng narrowed his eyes with a smile. Wang Gong's counter-espionage plan was indeed powerful. If Meng Yun was not transferred back to Beijing, he would not have accomplished a big deal.

"Then let's calm down and take a look, and when our time comes, we will take the stage to perform."

Li Heng's eyes stared at the royal courtyard with fires again. There was a complex feeling in his eyes. Perhaps he still felt a little reluctant, but as the fires turned into the supreme throne in his eyes, it turned into the seat he longed for, and the unbearableness in his eyes also disappeared, turning into a kind of cruelty and ruthlessness. He murmured in his heart: "You can't blame me. You said you were willing to give the throne to me, but you didn't do it..."

Behind him, Meng Yun looked at Li Heng's slightly thin shoulders, and he sighed in his heart. The relationship between father and son's family would become so indifferent and so vulnerable in front of the throne. It seems that not everyone can yearn for that position, at least Meng Yun could not do it. He could only sigh. At this time, Li Heng turned around and said, "General Meng, let me leave the next thing to you, and I will not show up again."

"Don't worry, our plan is perfect. Changsun Quanxu is a smart person. He knows what he should say and what he should not say."

Li Heng nodded slightly, he slowly retreated to the banner, and the shadow of the flag covered him, and he seemed to have disappeared.

The 50,000 army quietly entered the wheat field and opened to the Huangzhuang Pavilion. After a moment, the dark army surrounded the Huangzhuang Pavilion. Meng Yun did not order an attack, but just surrounded him. He was waiting for the last moment.

Fierce battles were in full swing within the wall of the imperial village. As Meng Yun analyzed, although these men in black were very skilled in martial arts, they lacked cooperation and fought individually. Although the Yulin Army had a little weak martial arts, they cooperated tacitly and used their strengths to make up for their weaknesses. In addition, they had three times the number of people than the other party, and their bows and arrows were sharp. Black could not hold it anymore. More than thirty black-clad assassins who had already rushed to the Peony Tower were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. After several rushing, they split the twenty or so people into pieces, and none of them survived.

The lights on the Peony Tower were all turned off. Li Yu's more than 100 guards surrounded the small building. As if facing a great enemy, Li Yu himself stood sideways behind the window and watched the battle in the distance. He paid more attention to the residence of Li Mi and Li Yan. They lived in Furong Tower, about a hundred steps away from the Peony Tower and closer to the battlefield. More than 200 soldiers surrounded Furong Tower, effectively curbing the assassin's attack.

As the assassin's attack was blocked by the soldiers, the anger in Li Yu's heart gradually began to ignite. Of course, he knew who sent these assassins. Those damn bastards actually used such despicable means to deal with him. Li Yu couldn't help but sneer, okay! These stupid people gave him the best excuse, so he could use thunder to search the house and collect the land.

At this time, Yao Silang brought a bowl of iced bird's nest porridge. This was a lifestyle of Li Yu. Every day when he woke up in the middle of the night, he had to drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Li Yu nodded, pointed to the table, and ordered him to put the bird's nest porridge on his table. He had no appetite yet. Yao Silang put down the bird's nest porridge and retreated, still standing by the wall. Suddenly, fierce footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs, and the guards guarding at the entrance of the stairs shouted sternly: "Who is it?"

Only one soldier heard a loud voice: "General Changsun ordered me to report to the emperor. General Meng Yun led an army of 50,000. General Meng Yun said that after receiving the news, someone was going to be unfavorable to the emperor, he rushed to protect the emperor."

This news made Li Yu slightly stunned. He felt something was wrong. Without his warrant and gold medal, how could Meng Yun dare to send troops without authorization? This is not a trivial matter. It is related to the ownership of military power. Li Yu was very unhappy. To put it seriously, this was a rebellion. But he had no reason to rebel. Even if he wanted to save the horse, he would have to severely punish Meng Yun. This is a matter of principle. He would never tolerate any general sending troops without authorization, and it would not be possible at once.

But his heart was relieved. The arrival of 50,000 troops meant that the assassination had completely failed. He tried his best to look into the distance, but in the dark, he could not see the situation outside the imperial village. Li Yu smiled as tolerantly as possible and breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down and took the bird's nest porridge casually. The white porcelain jade bowl was still cold and was particularly refreshing on the hot summer night. He was in a good mood and ate the bird's nest porridge bit by bit. By the wall, Yao Silang's pupils shrank rapidly into a line. He was so nervous that he could not breathe. His legs were trembling, and his upper and lower teeth were clattering.

"Silang, what are you afraid of?" Li Yu noticed his abnormality and asked with a smile.

"Slave...Slave is afraid of assassins." Yao Silang couldn't even explain clearly.

"Useless stuff. These assassins are just jumping clowns. Do you think I'm so easy to be assassinated?"

Li Yu smiled contemptuously, drank the last spoonful of bird's nest, and nodded and said, "Well! The bird's nest is good today. Although the taste is a bit bad, it is very cold. I drink it very happily."

"Your Majesty, do you want another bowl?"

"No, if you eat too much, I will feel uncomfortable in my stomach."

Li Yu put the bowl aside and picked up a memorial, but put it down again. There was no light in the room and nothing could be done. He couldn't help but sigh, "When will I let the lights be lighted?"

The battle in the museum was almost over. Although the five hundred black-clothed assassins had tried their best, the three thousand Yulin Army were like iron walls. They could break through anyway, which made them very frustrated. At this time, the men in black were already dead and injured. Many people had changed their targets and began to break through externally, but it was also difficult to break through. As long as they separated from the Yulin Army, arrow rain would come like locusts, and dozens of people were shot to death under the wall.

Li Chengning also became more and more desperate as he fought. The information his elder brother gave him was wrong. These Yulin soldiers were not dandy boys who were defeated in one battle, but fierce and powerful frontier soldiers. They were all fearless and made their assassination impossible to succeed. Li Chengning was already sweating profusely. He tried his best to get rid of the entanglement of several soldiers and quickly retreated to the back. Only then did he find that less than 200 people were fighting hard, and the others were either dead or fleeing, and the corpses were everywhere. Li Chengning felt despair in his heart. His failure was not only a failure to assassination, but his clan and family would face a large-scale purge. He was regretful, but he had no choice.

Li Chengning suddenly yelled, "Retreat!"
