It is already late autumn, and night comes early. Just a moment later, the setting sun is about to set. The last few rays of afterglow turn the clouds on the horizon as red as blood. There is smoke from cooking fires everywhere in Chang'an City, and everyone is laughing and laughing, but on the streets But there were not many pedestrians, and even if there were, they were all in a hurry. In contrast, the large group of people walking hand in hand with the two kings were obviously much more leisurely. Not only were the two luxury carriages walking slowly, but they were also escorted by more than a thousand people. The guards also walked loosely, and there was really not much vigilance. They said they were guards, but in fact they just meant that.
"Sixth Brother, I got someone from Cui Jing of Jingzhao Mansion today."
The carriage drove slowly not far from Rouge Lane. Li Xian, who had been listening to Li Xian's speech idly, suddenly looked solemn and interrupted Li Xian's words in a calm voice.
"Oh, I have to take it easy. The people in Jingzhao Mansion are really incompetent. Even if the sixth brother comes, he won't be of much use."
Li Xian was talking about his experience on the reform of the imperial examination, but was interrupted by Li Xian's sudden and strange words. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he didn't want to get angry at Li Xian, so he frowned and said nothing. I commented on the place.
"Sixth brother, what you said is wrong. This person can really be of great use." Li Xian smiled mysteriously and made a face.
"Huh? How do you say this?"
As soon as Li Xian heard what Li Xian said was strange, he immediately became interested. He looked at Li Xian doubtfully and asked with a frown.
"So that Sixth Brother will know that this person's surname is Yan Dan, which means "he". It is said that this person was the first person in Jingzhao Prefecture to discover the fire in Dali Temple. It was also this person who reported Chen Shaoyin from Jingzhao Prefecture. Rescuer." Li Xian smiled lightly and explained unhurriedly.
"Oh? That can be considered a meritorious person, but what does this have to do with the seventh brother?"
After Li Xian pondered for a moment, he still couldn't figure out what Li Xian wanted to do. In desperation, he could only ask suspiciously.
"Brother Six, in your opinion, what is the purpose of Jingzhao Mansion's intervention in Dali Temple so quickly?" Li Xian did not answer Li Xian's question directly, but asked with a smile.
"this……"
Li Xian didn't think deeply about it. He opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was here to put out the fire. But when the words came to his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't tell what was wrong. He kept talking for a while, but he couldn't. Tell me why.
"In my opinion, there are only two reasons why Jingzhao Mansion arrived so quickly - first, to create a fait accompli so that the trial of the arson case can be logically taken over; second, for fear that the fire would not be burned thoroughly enough. Destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces." Seeing that Li Xian was speechless for a long time, Li Xian didn't make it difficult for him, so he gave the answer with a sneer on his face.
"Oh? So, does the seventh brother think that Yan He is acting suspiciously?"
After all, Li Xian was not an idiot. After just a brief thought, he understood the meaning of Li Xian's words. His face instantly darkened, he bit his lip and asked in a cold voice.
"I don't care whether this person is suspicious or not, but Chen Renhao is absolutely suspicious. Now that Yanhe is in the hands of my little brother, some people may not be able to sit still. Once I let my little brother examine the truth and falsehoods in detail, and follow the clues, maybe the king can be captured. If you can't do it, it's easy to capture some of the big bandits in the court. Therefore, I dare to say that someone will come to rob and kill you today!" Li Xian said with a stern face, and his voice was full of murderous intent. Li Xian shuddered involuntarily.
"Seventh brother, don't talk about joking, how can this be..."
Li Xian certainly didn't believe that someone would dare to commit murder in broad daylight. After all, his side now has hundreds of troops, most of which are selected strong soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to say that the troops are strong and the horses are strong. Moreover, this is the capital city.
In this land, who dares to do such nonsense? He shook his head in disbelief, and opened his mouth to refute Li Xian's alarmist talk. But before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp roar suddenly sounded, and his words couldn't help but rattle.
However, when he arrived, he was stunned and dumbfounded.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
Just as the Second Prince's car arrived at the entrance of Rouge Alley, a sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded. In an instant, dozens of steel arrows whizzed towards the convoy like locusts, and the Second Prince's personal guards were caught off guard.
Several people were shot down, and the entire team was in chaos amid howls of misery.
"Don't mess up, quickly, set up a formation to protect His Highness!"
Most of the soldiers and horses of Prince Lu's Mansion were led by Dian Jun Li Qicheng and stayed in Dali Temple. At this time, the two kings were basically guarded by the royal guards of Prince Zhou's Mansion. The leader was none other than Dian Jun Wang Mingyuan, who was born in the Anxi Protectorate.
, who can be regarded as a general who has fought hundreds of battles, saw that something was wrong at this time, and did not care to dodge the steel arrows that were fired one after another. He pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and rode his horse to stop the carriage where the Li Xian brothers were riding.
He roared loudly and tried to stabilize his position.
"Protect His Highness, protect Your Highness!"
Most of the soldiers in Prince Zhou's Mansion were elites selected from the army, and they were no strangers to the ways of fighting. In addition, Li Xian had always treated his subordinates generously, which greatly won the morale of the army. Although they were suddenly attacked, they were a little panicked, but after a while
After Wang Mingyuan stepped forward to suppress the formation, all the troops reacted and rushed to the carriage with roars. They quickly built a human wall and surrounded the carriage.
"kill!"
Just as the guards of Prince Zhou's Mansion were busy setting up formations to cover the carriages the two kings were riding in, a powerful voice suddenly sounded, and then, a dozen masked men in black, holding sharp knives, came from the left side of the street.
He rushed out of a small alley, but he did not take advantage of the officers and soldiers of the Prince Zhou's Mansion to attack the carriage riding on the two kings while the officers and soldiers of the Prince Zhou's Mansion were still unsteady. Instead, he rushed towards the latter who was abandoned by the officers and soldiers of the Prince Zhou's Mansion.
At the same time, the sound of bowstrings on both sides of Rouge Lane continued to sound, and bursts of arrow rain hit the officers and soldiers of the Prince of Zhou's Palace who were busy setting up their formations, forcing all the officers and soldiers to
They were huddled together in an awkward situation.
"Damn it, you dare to assassinate the king, you are a thief, you are so disgusting, so lonely..."
Li Xian often practices martial arts on weekdays, but he is not as professional as Li Xian. His reaction ability is not bad, but when he was suddenly attacked, he became a little sluggish and did not know how to dodge. Fortunately, Li Xian
Showing his quick hands and feet, he immediately reached out to grab Li Xian and pushed him to the bottom of the carriage. At this moment, the two brothers were lying side by side on the floor of the carriage. Poor Li Xian had never experienced such a thing.
When he was wronged, he didn't care about being afraid. Instead, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and began to curse.
What a fart, what a waste of time! Seeing Li Xian cursing there again and again, Li Xian rolled his eyes angrily, not bothering to listen to Li Xian's nonsense, and focused all his attention on it.
Listening to the noise outside, I really heard something. There were not many crossbowmen in the ambush. The reason why it sounded so powerful was actually just shooting with a repeating crossbow.
, and these repeating crossbows are forbidden items. Except for the army, civilians are strictly prohibited from possessing them. Once discovered, it will be a serious crime of confiscating homes and exterminating families. Obviously, the ambusher must be inseparable from the army. This is one of them.
, Secondly, this group of crossbowmen did not really intend to shoot the two brothers, they just wanted to contain the strength of the escort. This point has only been two or three steel arrows hitting the horses since the raid.
The conclusion can be drawn from the carriage. In this way, the other party's calculation is highlighted. The target is definitely Yan He hiding in the second carriage!
If you dare to come, I'll keep them all! As soon as Li Xian judged the situation, he couldn't stop the anger in his heart. After cursing secretly, he looked at Wu Zizi and kept mumbling.
Li Xian said calmly: "Sixth brother, please stay here while I go down and take a look."
"Seventh brother, it's dangerous, don't go!"
As soon as Li Xian heard that Li Xian was about to get out of the car, he stopped cursing and grabbed Li Xian's hand and said anxiously.
"Sixth brother is fine. I am a martial arts practitioner. Sooner or later, I will see the battle. It's better to see it now. Sixth brother, don't worry. I can take care of myself." Sensing Li Xian's anxiety and worry, Li Xianxin
He couldn't help but feel warm, but he didn't intend to obey the order. After replying with a smile, he flicked his wrist and flicked away Li Xian's grasp. He turned over and rushed out from the car curtain. He straightened his back and stood up.
Already standing firmly on the ground.
Chaos, a big chaos. Li Xian was not yet developed at this time and was really small. Standing on the ground, all he saw was the belly of the horse under Wang Mingyuan's seat. He bent down and scanned it, and saw countless pairs of feet through the horse's legs.
Running around, all kinds of whistling, cursing, and miserable howls were deafening. Even though Li Xiansheng was very brave, he was shaken violently by this chaotic scene as soon as he landed. It was just very
He quickly came back to his senses, jumped up, and stood on the carriage's step. With the help of the dim skylight, he quickly looked around the surrounding environment. With his keen judgment, he immediately figured out what the crossbowman was doing.
The location of the hidden location.
"Wang Mingyuan, you are too lazy to hang around here. Send an order to send a small team of troops to attack the three-story attic building on the left with the flag flying the word 'wine'. Then send two small teams of troops to rush into Rouge Lane. The thief is hiding in front of you.
In the first building, we must wipe out all the incoming enemies, so hurry up and go!" Seeing Wang Mingyuan busy directing his men to set up defenses, but still not daring to send anyone to counterattack the incoming enemies, Li Xian couldn't help but get angry.
He drank in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, this place is dangerous, you..."
Wang Mingyuan heard the noise and suddenly turned around. Seeing Li Xian actually running out of the carriage, he couldn't help but become anxious. He didn't care much and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Damn it, how dare you not carry out Gu's orders? Are you seeking death?"
Li Xian was so angry that he didn't want to listen to Wang Mingyuan's ramblings. He waved his hand impatiently, interrupted Wang Mingyuan's words, and roared angrily.
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
Wang Mingyuan saw that Li Xian was angry, and he did not dare to neglect him. He thought that since there were many people on his side, the thieves would not be afraid even if they were ambushed by others, so he hurriedly responded, shouting loudly and naming several team leaders.
name, and quickly issued the general order for counterattack...
