Li Hao's pocket pistol can be equipped with a muffler, but he didn't install it, because he brought the gun with him to prevent others from assassinating him, if there were only one or two assassins, then it was okay to say, directly two shots to solve it, if there were too many assassins, he could fire a gun to call for help, so this time he didn't install a muffler.

At this moment, Li Hao's muzzle was still smoking, Dawa Dunzhu had fallen to the ground on his back, his eyes were wide, his eyes were full of shock and despair, there was a blood hole in his forehead, but there was no blood, because the blood was gurgling out of the back of his head, soaking through the carpet.

"Master? Can even the tallest master dodge bullets? Li Hao snorted coldly, stepped forward and searched Dawa Dunzhu's body carefully, but found nothing superfluous, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hospital, and then I saw a group of special combat personnel rushing into the room, this is the group of special combat personnel waiting for the change of guard, who were sleeping before, was awakened by the sound of gunshots, and immediately came to help.

After the group of special combat soldiers entered the room, they saw the corpses on the ground and Li Hao, who was safe and sound, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and they all stepped forward and knelt down in front of Li Hao to plead guilty: "My subordinates are late for rescue, please punish Hou Ye!" ”

"What about Lin Dingkun?" Li Hao was a little angry at the moment, as the captain of a special combat team, Lin Dingkun actually let the assassin break into his room so easily, if he didn't have a pistol to defend himself, it is estimated that he would be really lucky today.

A special combat team member replied: "The captain and the rice bucket are in a coma in the courtyard, and the other special combat team members don't know where to go." ”

Li Hao nodded when he heard this, and learned from what Dawa Dunzhu said just now that the other special combat team members must have gone to the West Courtyard to protect the princess, and Lin Dingkun personally took the rice bucket to guard here, it stands to reason that Lin Dingkun's decision is not wrong, and the safety of the princess is also very important, if it is an ordinary assassin, it is more than enough for Lin Dingkun and the rice bucket to stay, but they are not very lucky this time and meet a master.

Li Hao didn't blame Lin Dingkun anymore, and said: "Find a way to wake them up." Then he frowned and pondered.

encountered two assassinations in one night, one was Tuyuhun and one was Tubo, Li Hao was very unhappy, Tubo sent someone to assassinate him, Li Hao can understand, after all, he let Tubo suffer two big losses, they must hate themselves to death, but for Tuyuhun's assassination, Li Hao really can't figure it out, just for the little thing of going out of the city to meet the princess, Tuyuhun wants to assassinate himself? No way! Or is Tuyuhun just to blame Tubo and let the Tang Dynasty go to war with Tubo? This is a little possibility, but this trick is too dangerous, I feel that Tuyuhun's courage is not so big, and if he is not careful, he will be burned, and it will be a disaster to destroy the country at that time, and he is as smart as Li Hao, and he can't think of the real motive for Tuyuhun to assassinate himself.

Li Hao thought for a long time but there was no result, Lin Dingkun had been woken up by the special combat team members splashed with water, and came to Li Hao's room, as soon as he saw Li Hao, he knelt down with a puff, touched the ground with his head, and said: "The subordinates are not effective in guarding, and the Hou Ye is in danger, and the subordinates deserve to die, ask the Hou Ye to die!" ”

"Get up." Li Hao said coldly, returned to the chair and sat down.

Lin Dingkun got up and stood with his head hung with a sad face, waiting for Li Hao's punishment.

Li Hao said: "This time you fell for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, fortunately you are alert enough, leaving two people to guard in the courtyard, otherwise I will definitely punish you." ”

"Shame on your subordinates!" Lin Dingkun buried his head lower.

Li Hao said: "Early tomorrow morning, you send someone out of the city to the camp, and pass on my order to General Yu Zheng, to be careful to beware of Tuyuhun, every morning, noon and evening, I will send someone to report safety, once it is interrupted, let him attack the city immediately, without any hesitation." ”

Lin Dingkun was shocked when he heard this, and he gave his order hard: "Yes!" From Li Hao's words, he already felt that this assassination should be related to Tuyuhun, otherwise Li Hao would not have done it.

At this moment, someone from outside hurriedly came running, it was Chen Haijin, Chen Haijin saw the corpse of Dawa Dunzhu in the house, he was stunned at first, and then he was about to ask for guilt, Li Hao waved his hand to interrupt him: "Is the princess okay?" ”

Chen Hai said closely: "Back to the Hou Ye, the princess is all fine, the eleven assassins are all ambushed, and the subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to capture them alive." ”

"It's all a bunch of dead soldiers, and it's useless to catch them alive." Li Hao sighed lightly and frowned slowly, the current situation is really not good, as an envoy of Tang, if he does not have enough reasons and evidence, it is not good to tear his face with Tuyuhun, but if it goes on like this, he doesn't know how Tuyuhun will deal with himself, after all, this is on someone else's territory, and he still understands the truth that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

Li Hao thought for a long time, returned to the case, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a secret letter and handed it to Lin Dingkun, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, you go out of the city and hand over this secret letter to General Zheng, and ask him to send a few more fast horses back to Chang'an. ”

"Yes!" Lin Dingkun took the secret letter with a solemn face and stuffed it into his arms.

There was a lot of movement on the side of the post house, and He Shi soon came to the post house with a large number of soldiers, surrounded the place on the grounds of protecting the Tang envoy and the Tang princess, and then came to ask Li Hao what had happened.

Li Hao handed over the two corpses to He Shi, didn't even see He Shi, and continued to go back to his room to sleep.

When He Shi saw Li Hao's guards moving the two corpses, he broke out in a cold sweat, it doesn't matter if the assassination fails, what happened to another assassin who came out of here, everything has exceeded his expectations.

After He Shi took over the two corpses, he hurriedly sent someone to inform King Xuan and the others involved in the conspiracy, and held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.

After a group of people gathered, they were all full of solemnity, the assassination failed, so the refusal to be a minister could not be saved, plus the assassination of this time, Li Hao would definitely be furious at that time, and Tuyuhun was in danger.

King Xuan's hands were constantly trembling, he didn't expect that after so many years of painstaking solitude, he would still have to embark on the road of exile, and he was unwilling.

After a long silence, He Shi said in a deep voice: "Since you can't kill Li Hao, then you can only shut up Your Majesty." ”

King Xuan shook his head and sighed bitterly: "The matter of refusing to be a minister, Your Majesty has made up your mind, and no matter how much we persuade us, it is useless." ”

"Then don't persuade me." He Shi said coldly, "Prime Minister, for the sake of Tuyuhun, I, He Shi, am willing to respect you as the king!" As he spoke, he suddenly got up, knelt down to King Xuan, and bowed deeply.

Including King Xuan, everyone was stunned for a while, King Xuan was stunned for a moment and just wanted to help him up, and the rest of the people also knelt down and said in unison: "For the sake of Tuguhun, I am willing to respect the prime minister as the king." ”

King Xuan was completely shocked, although they had hinted or explicitly stated that they had replaced Nuo Ge Bowl, but they had never been so solemn, Tuyuhun had learned Han etiquette for many years, although he had not obtained the essence, but he had also learned some fur, and the idea of royal orthodoxy and the like had been formed, but this time he had a sufficient reason, and he was really a little moved, but he also knew that this reason was not enough to convince the ministers and the people that it was not so easy to be the king, and there would definitely be many people who opposed it, and Tuyuhun could not withstand the turmoil.

Several people all looked at King Xuan with blank eyes, and when he made a decision, King Xuan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No, I can't sit on this throne." ”

"You can't sit? You can't sit who can sit? He Shi glared and shouted excitedly, "Can that ignorant little doll sit, he doesn't understand fart, and he still wants to be in charge, he will ruin Tuguhun!" ”

The rest of the people nodded one after another: "Prime Minister, please think twice." ”

King Xuan was so embarrassed that he frowned again and fell into silence, at this time, Ji Tongguang suddenly thought of something and said: "Prime Minister, there was once a character in the Central Plains called Cao Cao. ”

King Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at him and asked, "You mean...... Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”

Ji Tongguang nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, Prime Minister, you can only do this, otherwise we will not be long in Tuguhun." ”

King Xuan was silent again, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

He Shi suddenly said: "Simply, let's lead the troops into the palace tonight, force the palace, first shock the Nuoge bowl that doesn't know the height of the sky, and let him stop talking nonsense when he sees Li Hao tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Lou Zhengnan nodded and said, "The matter of refusing to be a minister is an urgent matter at the moment, and it must be resolved before tomorrow morning, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and you can only admonish you." ”

"Exactly!" Liu Tong also said, "Prime Minister, please make a decision quickly, it will be dawn in two hours, and it will be too late if it's too late." ”

"Forcing the palace, the soldiers are admonishing ......" King Xuan was very nervous, his hands trembled, and asked, "How sure can you force the palace?" ”

He Shi patted his chest and said: "Liu Dingshan, the general of the palace guards, was once under my command, and I pulled it up single-handedly, if I do something, he will definitely help me, there are only less than 1,000 guards in the palace, I bring 3,000 people into the palace, and it is easy to control the palace!" ”

King Xuan pondered for a moment, finally made a decision, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, it's decided, do it quickly!" ”

An hour later, the gate of the Tuyuhun palace quietly opened, and a large army poured into the palace like a torrent, and then, the Tuyuhun palace shouted murder.

The eastern sky was exposed to the white belly of the fish, and King Xuan stepped into the palace of Nuo Ge Bowl under the opening of He Shi's army, and Nuo Ge Bowl looked at King Xuan with a pale face and strode in front of him, so angry that his lips trembled.

"The old minister greets Your Majesty." King Xuan saluted indifferently, but now that he had let go, his emotions such as nervousness and fear had long been swept away, but he had become very calm.

"King Xuan, you dare to rebel!" Nuo Gebo gritted his teeth and looked at King Xuan, wanting to get up, but found that his legs were weak and he could only sit in his position.

"Your Majesty is serious." King Xuan said seriously, "This is a soldier's advice, not a rebellion." ”

"What? Soldiers? Nuo Gebo had never heard the word soldier, so he was stunned for a moment and shouted, "You are a rebellion!" ”

"Whatever Your Majesty says." King Xuan said coldly, "The purpose of the minister's military advice this time is to persuade Your Majesty to continue to pay tribute to the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and don't do anything wrong to the country." ”

"What! This king is mistaken from the country? Nuo Ge Bo roared angrily, "This king is the king of a country, how can he mislead the country?" ”

King Xuan said lightly: "Your Majesty is misleading the country, and you are misleading yourself, and the minister can't watch Tuyuhun buried in the hands of His Majesty, so dare to admonish and ask Your Majesty to continue to pay tribute to the ministers of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Nuo Ge Bo said sharply: "What if this king does not agree? ”

King Xuan's face turned cold, and he said slowly: "Then Your Majesty can only follow in the footsteps of the previous king, and the king's position, the ministers will choose another meritocracy." ”
