The various princes were really too arrogant. They probably knew that they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out the assassination, and they would not be able to hide it from Li Xiang. Therefore, they sent out waves in all directions almost unscrupulously.
Manpower is available.
During this period of time, the Jin army had killed many unidentified people on the main roads in Sizhou and Yongzhou.
As for those unidentified outsiders, after the Jin soldiers along the way discovered them, even if they did not kill them on the spot, they would at least be sent to prison.
However, having been slaughtered by them, these people are just small fish and shrimps at best. The real powerful killers are probably still well hidden at this time, at least most of them are like this.
"Send the order, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, be careful!" Thinking of these rats hiding in the dark, Li Xiang couldn't help but feel a little unhappy!
There is such a group of people hiding in the dark, trying to kill you at any time. Even if these people are just a bunch of rats, it is always unpleasant.
Although he knows that these rats cannot threaten his life, who wants to be constantly worried about by such a group of rats? This is just a group of rats, not a group of beauties!
If it had been the past, Li Xiang might have played a trick of luring a snake out of its hole, but now that he was sitting higher on his butt, he no longer had so much interest.
Who would think about playing games with a group of mice every day, among the high-altitude lions and even the dragons hovering above the nine heavens?
There are many officials of all sizes in the floating house under his command. If he can't even deal with these rats, then what's the use of Li Xiang raising such a bunch of losers?
If the floating house or the officials of all sizes under him are really so incompetent, then Li Xiang really needs to consider replacing them with a new group of people. He doesn't need so many people under his command!
After a night's rest, at dawn, the patrol team started their journey again.
Li Xiang had just ascended to the throne, and no matter how important the affairs in the south were, he would definitely not be able to stay away from the capital for too long. Therefore, their trip was still quite busy.
Just as they expected, when they started to enter the plank road into Shu, the rats hiding in the dark finally took action.
After all, this is their last chance and the most suitable ambush location. If they don't take action, they will have no chance after Li Xiang enters Bashu.
These mice hiding in the dark have done some research. They did not learn to do it easily and chose a very good location.
When the Jin army entered the plank road, they could not advance in a formation due to the terrain, so they still advanced in a long snake. If they used this formation to advance, once they were cut off in the middle, it would be difficult to hand over the head and tail, and they would not be able to move forward in a short time.
Provide effective support.
In this case, the killers only need to face a small number of Jin army guards, and only need to assassinate Li Xiang under the protection of a small number of Jin army guards.
Moreover, due to the restrictions of the geographical environment, the large number of horses under the Jin army's cavalry became a burden at this time, and it was impossible to ride the horses for a gallop. Even if the cavalry was fast, it was useless if the horses could not run.
It was in this environment that the rats hiding in the darkness suddenly burst out.
Although these killers are not good at fighting in military formations, after arranging a formation with an equal number of troops, they will definitely be slaughtered. But in this small-scale fight, they have the advantage.
Moreover, these killers not only prepared a large number of bows, arrows and crossbows, but the weapons were also smeared with blood-sealing poison. As long as the soldiers under Li Xiang's hands were scratched even if they had a small wound, they would eventually become a
A lifeless end.
Countless bows and arrows were shot at the war horse Li Xiang was riding. Although the surrounding warriors guarded it with all their strength, the warriors in front and behind were unable to provide support in time. In the end, these rats found a chance and an arrow grazed it.
Li Xiang's cheek was touched, and a trace of black thread flowed out from Li Xiang's cheek. In almost a moment, Li Xiang fell directly off his horse.
After the surrounding soldiers saw this scene, they suddenly felt that the sky had fallen.
But under the command of the angry general, one after another waved their weapons at the killers. The place where these killers chose to ambush was originally a desperate place, and there was no way out.
When these killers took on this mission, they had no intention of returning alive.
Therefore, every one of these killers fell under the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army.
However, although all the enemies were wiped out, no one in the scene could be happy.
"General, I am guilty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The leading general knelt aside, his face full of gray and defeated, and there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes.
Failure to protect them well is a grave crime against the Nine Clans.
"But we killed all the thieves!" Li Jing looked at the piles of corpses on the ground. Even after seeing Li Xiang's corpse, there was no unnecessary expression on his face. Instead, he asked without concern.
At the same time, Li Jing also had to lament that the coalition forces really spent a lot of money this time. The bodies of the Jin soldiers who died in the battle were basically covered with skin ulcers all over their bodies, and black blood continued to flow from all parts of the body.
I believe that this kind of powerful poison is not impossible for princes from all walks of life to get. After all, you have already become a prince, so it is relatively easy to want something.
But with so many killers equipped with such a powerful poison, this is not a small quantity. If you can get such a powerful poison in such a large quantity, I believe it will not be easy even for the princes.
"General! All the thieves have been killed!" The general who was kneeling on the ground replied mechanically.
The poor general didn't hear anything strange in Li Jing's words at this time.
In other words, this poor general had already fallen into a feeling of collapse at this time. When he saw Li Xiang's cheek being scratched by a sharp arrow, his brain was already in a panic state at that time.
In this state, I can only do some things mechanically, and I can no longer even think normally.
Therefore, at this time, he only answered Li Jing's questions mechanically, and did not hear the strangeness in Li Jing's words.
