Chapter 300: Ranger Chen Song
Early the next morning, Li Shimin suddenly drove to the East Palace, severely reprimanded Li Chengqian, and killed the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied Li Chengqian to drink and feast, and let Li Chengqian kneel there and watch the group of eunuchs and palace maids being beaten to death, so as to deter Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian watched these eunuchs and palace maids being beaten to death in front of him, these people died because of him, but he couldn't do anything, he was not deterred, he was angry, he hated Li Shimin, and hated Zhang Xuansu even more, because he thought that only Zhang Xuansu knew about this matter, and it must be Zhang Xuansu who did not keep his promise, went to tell Li Shimin. He hates Li Hao, so he wants to kill Li Hao, he hates Zhang Xuansu, and he also wants to kill Zhang Xuansu.
Li Shimin took away the corpses of all the eunuchs and palace maids, and the majestic Heavenly Khan also had a disregard for human life, in fact, the eunuchs and palace maids were in slavery, and in the eyes of the people of this era, they were no longer human, even if the rich family killed the slaves, they could finish the matter by paying a fine, not to mention Li Shimin, this is the constraint of the times, and this is also Li Hao's most dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian looked at the blood all over the courtyard, his face turned pale, and the screams and begs for mercy of those eunuchs and palace maids lingered in his mind like a magic sound, and they were endless for a long time.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Xiangxin thought that Li Chengqian was frightened, and came over to approve his clothes.
"Zhang Xuansu!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and roared with a hideous face, "You didn't keep your promises and were a teacher in vain, since you are unkind, you will not blame you for being lonely and unjust." ”
"Your Highness! What happened to you? Don't mess around! Seeing Li Chengqian's hideous face, he suddenly felt that Li Chengqian was so strange and terrible, and he was frightened by him.
"Don't worry! I'm measured. Li Chengqian called a confidant guard and said coldly, "Let Helan Chushi come to see me." ”
"Yes!" The henchman guard took the order and left, and Li Chengqian also turned around and returned to the room.
Soon, Helan Chushi came, Li Chengqian let him into the room, sat in front of the bookcase and said coldly: "Helan, you are the person I trust the most, and you must have seen today's events." ”
"Subordinate...... I saw them all. Helan Chushi lowered his head, he knew that Li Chengqian was in a bad mood now, so he also showed a look of silence.
Li Chengqian said slowly: "This matter is all caused by Zhang Xuansu, Zhang Xuansu has already promised Lonely, not to play this matter to his father, I didn't expect him to go back on his word, such a person without faith, is he still worthy of being a lone teacher?" ”
Helan Chushi followed his words and said, "Go back to Your Highness, he is not worthy, he deserves to die." ”
"He deserves to die!" Li Chengqian suddenly gritted his teeth, his face turned hideous, and said, "Didn't you say that you know a lot of Jianghu rangers, you find a Jianghu ranger to kill him, remember, don't show your feet." ”
"Huh?" Helan Chushi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to really kill Zhang Xuansu, and said in shock, "Your Highness, he is your ......."
"What's lonely?" Li Chengqian looked at Helan Chushi coldly, and said, "Fang Cai Gu has already said, he is not worthy of being a lonely teacher, are you deaf?" Or do you want to disobey Lone's will? ”
"The subordinates don't dare." Helan Chushi hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's just, Your Highness, if this matter is revealed, there will be endless troubles." ”
"So!" Li Chengqian said coldly, "You must do it cleanly, you must not show your feet, once something happens, you will bear the blame." ”
"Huh?" Helan Chushi was stunned again, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to let him take the blame so bluntly, this ...... It's shameless.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......"
"Are you scared?" Li Chengqian's eyes were like torches, staring at Helan Chushi, and said, "The reason why Lone said this is that I want you to try your best to make this matter perfect, Zhang Xuansu is a corrupt Confucian, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, so why is it difficult to kill him." ”
Helan Chushi thinks about it, Zhang Xuansu is indeed very easy to kill, as long as he sends a ranger who is good at assassination, he will be nine out of ten, but he is still afraid, this is not a joke, if the matter is revealed, he will lose his head.
Li Chengqian suddenly said at this time: "If the real person is not as good as the sky, and the matter is revealed, you resist the guilt, and the orphan will not protect you, but your family, the orphan will take care of you, you have two sons, and when your two sons become adults in the future, the orphan will almost sit on the throne, and then the orphan will make them the third duke!" Shine on the lintel of your Helan house! ”
Helan Chushi trembled when he heard this, he was excited, Li Chengqian's conditions were too generous, so generous that he couldn't refuse, the ancients valued their names and gave birth to their lives, and many people threw their blood into the army, just to fight for military merit and glory to their ancestors, but in the end there were very few successes.
Li Chengqian's condition is too big, a double prince, what kind of concept is that, even if Helan Chushi is allowed to die now, he is willing.
"Your Highness, your subordinates will definitely get this matter done!" Helan Chushi no longer hesitated, and responded generously, although Li Chengqian gave such generous conditions, but he would not be stupid enough to deliberately send him to death, in exchange for the glory of the two dukes, as Li Chengqian's most trusted confidant, as long as he survived until Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he would not only be crowned the prince of the country, but also very likely to worship the prime minister, it would not only be glory, but also power, so he had to work hard to do this well.
After Helan Chushi came out of the East Palace, he went directly to Yongyangfang, Yongyangfang is in the southwesternmost corner of Chang'an City, and it is the most depressed place in Chang'an City.
After Helan Chushi came to Yongyangfang, he entered an inn, called Jianghu Inn, this name is very good, Jianghu Inn, there is a lot of charm, and the reason why this inn is called Jianghu Inn, because this inn only receives Jianghu rangers, enter the door to show a hand, do not show a hand to avoid entering, the rules are very special, and it is also very interesting.
Jianghu Inn also has a very interesting rule, that is, every month will elect a host, the innkeeper in the Jianghu inn to eat and live are all free, how to choose the inn, naturally is a competition, since the first session of the inn owner appeared, the end of the month for three days, the innkeeper must accept the challenge of others, win and continue to be the stack master, lose on the change of the inn, Jianghu Inn to Zhenguan first year to open the store, has been fifteen years, the owner of the inn changed one after another, each owner of the stack for a maximum of three months, no one has ever been a four months in a row, This also proves that the rivers and lakes are huge, there are many talents, there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains.
However, since July last year, the Jianghu Inn came to a twenty-four or five-year-old year, very dragged, on the spot to pick up the previous inn master, and then live in the Jianghu Inn, drunk every day and dream of death, a life is a year, this year, there have been more than 40 masters to challenge, all were defeated by him, and no one has ever held up twenty moves in his hands, he has also become the myth of the Jianghu Inn, this person is named Chen Song, he looks cool when he doesn't drink, dragging, after getting drunk, no one is convinced, just support the wall, It's basically a puddle of mud, and he either doesn't drink it, or he gets drunk if he wants to.
Every time Chen Song gets drunk, he will say something and say something: "I practiced at the age of six, went out on a mission at the age of fifteen, and never missed, for you for so many years, just because I drank once, I made a mistake, and you said to drive me away, what am I?" One of your dogs? I'm not even as good as a dog......"
After listening to his whispers, the people of the inn knew that this was a man with a story, and since April this year, no one has come to challenge him, because everyone knows that it is self-inflicted humiliation, and the innkeeper treats him as a guest and responds to his requests.
As soon as Helan Chushi entered the Jianghu Inn, he saw a lump of muddy Chen Song lying on the bench in the hall sleeping, and no guests dared to sit within a radius of him.
Seeing Helan Chushi enter the door, the old shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said, "Chushi, you are here." "The shopkeeper is called Lin Ming, and he is Helan Chushi's maternal uncle, and Helan Chushi often comes to him.
"Uncle." Helan Chushi saluted very casually, and then looked at Chen Song, he didn't dare to approach, because Chen Song was too weird, even if he was drunk and slept to death, he couldn't get close, because he would instinctively protect himself in his sleep, once someone approached, he would directly lose his arms and legs, and his sword would never leave his hand.
"How much did he drink?" Helan Chushi asked.
"Two catties of immortal brew." Lin Ming sighed lightly, "I got up early in the morning to drink, and after drinking two catties, I slept here until now." ”
"Can you wake him up?" Helan Chushi asked.
"Can't wake up." Lin Ming shook his head, and then asked, "Do you have something to look for him?" ”
"It's a little thing." Helan Chushi said, "Since I can't wake him up, then I'll wait here." After he finished speaking, he went to the side and found a seat to sit down, asked for some food and drink, ate slowly, and waited slowly.
And outside the inn, there is also a person waiting at this moment, he is Lu Yun, according to Li Hao's guess, if the prince wants to make a move, he will definitely look for the ranger, because there is no one around him, and if he wants to do it cleanly, he can only find the ranger to make a move, and if he wants to contact the ranger, he must find Helan Chushi, because only Helan Chushi knows the ranger, so let Lu Yun keep an eye on Helan Chushi, and then he will stare here.
Lu Yun waited outside for a long time, it was really boring, so he sat down to drink tea in the teahouse opposite the door, and asked for some pastries by the way, and in the evening, Lu Yun saw Helan Chushi coming out of the inn with a smile on his face, knowing that he had probably chosen a ranger, so he went back to his life.
Next, Li Hao sent Lu Yun to put on a night suit to guard Zhang Xuansu's house, he estimated that the assassin might act tonight, but Lu Yun waited all night, but did not see any movement, early in the morning, Lu Yun came back and reported the matter to Li Hao, Li Hao couldn't help frowning, let Lu Yun rest, sent Zhu Ruihuan to disguise, continue to go to Zhang Xuansu's house to watch, protect Zhang Xuansu's safety, must not let Zhang Xuansu be killed, after all, Li Hao is still very optimistic about Zhang Xuansu, I feel that he is a bit like Wei Zheng, a very upright person.
Zhu Ruihuan came to Zhang Xuansu's house to star, and soon, Zhang Xuansu went out to the East Palace, Zhu Ruihuan couldn't go in, so he could only wait outside the imperial city, Zhang Xuansu stayed in the East Palace all day, and didn't leave the East Palace until sunset, and when he went out of the imperial city, it was already dark and the lights were on.
Zhu Ruihuan followed Zhang Xuansu's sedan chair closely, walking unhurriedly, suddenly, Zhu Ruihuan saw a silver light shaking in front of him, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly accelerated his pace and rushed towards the sedan chair.
