Chapter 531 and the slime
"Be careful!
It's a trap! "
"Run!
Everyone run! "
"Run away!"
"..."
Seeing that the leader was killed, more than a dozen people were shocked.
Looking at each other hastily, they wanted to spread their legs and run away.
But at this moment, dozens of guards holding bows and crossbows suddenly appeared behind everyone.
Before everyone came back to their senses, they surrounded the assassins very skillfully.
"Who the hell are you?"
Seeing that the way of retreat was cut off, the assassin mustered up his courage and asked loudly.
The head guard seemed to have never heard of it, and he drew out his saber and shouted loudly: "Your Highness has an order:
Keep one alive, and kill the rest! "
"kill!"
Dozens of killing embryos were overjoyed when they heard the words, grinning and scrambling towards the assassin.
A few days ago, more than half of the six princes went to Jiannan Road to resist Tubo, only a few hundred of them were forced to stay.
Everyone originally thought that they had nothing to do with military exploits this time, and could only envy their colleagues who would return in the future.
But who would have thought that an assassin would come to his door on his own initiative today, how could this not make everyone ecstatic.
It should be known that the credit for protecting the royal family is higher than the reward for military exploits!
"Shu~"
"Ding ding~"
"what!!!"
Under the moonlight, the cold light flickered, screams came and went, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly.
The elite guards were like a tiger entering a herd of sheep, chopping melons and vegetables, cutting and killing more than a dozen assassins.
The assassin who was aggressive and determined to win just now had no power to resist the encirclement and suppression of the Tang army.
However, within dozens of breaths, there was only one person standing alone in the pool of blood.
"It's a loyal and brave man!"
The commander of the guards stepped forward, unconsciously nodding in praise.
Dozens of assassins knew that they would die if they resisted, but they still charged forward without fear of death. This kind of behavior was quite in line with Tang Jun's style.
"Tell me, who sent you here?
If you tell the truth, His Royal Highness may spare your life. "
"Humph!"
The lone assassin snorted coldly and raised his head in contempt.
The commander of the guards chuckled when he saw him, and was about to step forward for interrogation, but suddenly found several streaks of blood oozing from his mouth and nose.
"asshole!
It's poison! "
Seeing this, the commander yelled, and quickly stepped forward to support the assassin's collapsed body.
Immediately, he tentatively tested his breath, and said bitterly: "It's over!
Now there is no credit for it!
How should I explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "
"died?!"
The rest were all taken aback when they heard the words, and an expression of annoyance appeared on their faces at the same time.
Li Jing specifically told him to leave his mouth alive to identify the mastermind, but now they failed to do so due to their carelessness.
If Li Jing pursues it, everyone must not be able to escape punishment.
What's more, Li Jingsu treats Liu Shu very well, and all the soldiers are grateful for his kindness.
Now that this kindness has not been repaid, there is a mistake, which really makes the people present at a loss.
"That's all, that's all.
You wait to clean up the scene carefully, and a certain family will go back to the palace to receive the punishment. "
The commander sighed and stood up with a wry smile.
Now that the mistake has been made, he can only return to the palace earlier to plead guilty.
Just before he turned to leave, he suddenly heard a burst of intensive footsteps not far away.
Before the person came forward, he held his weapon and yelled sharply: "The Zuo Hou Wei is here, you should put down your weapon quickly!"
"Left Houwei?"
The commander of the guards frowned when he heard the words, muttering something unlucky to himself.
The left and right Houwei was originally named Jinwuwei, and belonged to Xiaguan in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Left and Right Marquis Guards, responsible for the pioneer apse and day and night inspections when the emperor traveled.
During the curfew in the capital, they also performed the duty of vigilance.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he continued to use the old name of Emperor Sui Yang.
It was not until Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to power that it was changed to the old name of Left and Right Jinwuwei.
Therefore, in this capital city, it is the only one that has reasonable control.
"A certain family is the prince's left guard who leads the general, and is ordered by His Royal Highness to guard the royal tea house tonight.
Everyone is our own, so the general need not worry. "
"My own?!"
The commander of the guards put away his saber and saluted hastily.
The leader of the visitor was stunned when he heard it, looked at the dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and immediately gasped.
Just by looking at the situation at the scene, one can see how dangerous Shi Cai is.
Presumably, if the left guard hadn't led the elite to make a timely move, the royal tea house would have been lost tonight.
And he, the little leader of the Zuo Houwei who came here on orders, naturally has to bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty.
But what an important place the Royal Tea House is, how can he afford such a crime!
"Thank you General for your help.
If the general hadn't arrived in time tonight, a certain family might have to go to Lingnan tomorrow to be punished. "
The leader returned the gift with a wry smile.
The commander saw him with a disgruntled smile, waved his hands and said, "I'm just following orders, and I don't deserve my brother's thanks.
It's a pity that no one was left alive, and I'm afraid he will be punished after returning to the palace. "
"Oh?!"
The leader was stunned when he heard the words, rolled his eyes and said: "The general doesn't know.
A certain family came here today to protect the safety of the royal tea house by His Majesty's order.
It's just that I didn't expect to be delayed for a while on the way, and I was almost succeeded by the assassin.
However, His Majesty's will for a certain family is to kill them without leaving any survivors.
If the general is in trouble, why not..."
"Sure?"
The commander of the guards was overjoyed and asked happily.
If he acts according to the law that the leader said, although the credit will be handed over, it seems to be nothing compared to the punishment brought by negligence of duty.
What's more, there is His Majesty's will here.
Even if the assassin hadn't committed suicide just now, his life would be in danger at this time.
Unless Li Jing came in person, who would dare to defy Li Shimin's will in public.
"In this case, there is General Lao."
The commander weighed it up and said with clasped fists.
The leader smiled freely when he saw it, waved his hands nonchalantly and replied: "They are all from my own family, why should the general be so polite.
In the future, if there is anything wrong with the younger brother that would anger His Highness the Crown Prince, please ask the general to speak kindly for the younger brother. "
"Easy to say. Easy to say."
……
The two exchanged polite greetings as if no one was there, but they didn't know that the news of the royal tea house had already been sent back to the palace.
Li Shimin listened to Liu Jishu's narration, squinted his eyes and asked in a cold voice: "Is it true that Ke'er sent someone to do it?"
Liu Jishu lowered his head when he heard the words, and replied in a deep voice: "The spies have seen it with their own eyes, so I think there is absolutely no mistake."
"Oh~
His courage is getting bigger and bigger! "
Li Shimin shook his head, sighed and said: "I have been very lenient to him these years, but now it seems that it has made him pampered.
I'm really remiss of my job as a father! "
"His Majesty!!!"
When Liu Jishu heard the words, he bowed in panic.
Although Li Shimin was expressionless at the moment, he didn't dare to be careless.
After all, for an emperor as proud as Li Shimin to admit his faults, it is obvious that he must already be extremely angry at this moment.
If he accidentally provokes him, his body will be gone tonight.
"Humph!
You do have some eyesight! "
Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted coldly, waved his hands after thinking for a moment and said: "Send the order:
What happened tonight cannot be traced, and the magistrate of Chang'an immediately sent someone to clean up the corpse.
another:
Yin, the servant king in the palace of the King of Han, has ulterior motives, trying to confuse the King of Han into doing things of arrogance.
Order King Zhao Jun to send someone to arrest him immediately, without interrogation and decision! "
"The slaves obey the orders!"
