Chapter 799: Saving People (II)
Seeing the 'treatment' that Li Yuanchang received, the little palace maid knew that she would not be spared this time, and she would inevitably be severely interrogated by the Khotanese people. It was precisely because of this consideration that after the little girl severely reprimanded the prince of Khotan, she blatantly crashed to death on the pillar outside the palace where Li Yuanchang lived.
The little girl died, and the skull shattered under the violent impact, and blood and brains flowed everywhere.
This is the first person to die in the city of Khotan in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most tragic person.
The whole prince of Khotan was stupid, firstly frightened by the scene in front of him, and secondly shocked by the little girl's warning. Thinking of those rumors about the 'fangs', Prince Khotan and some of the warriors around him all looked very ugly, and the eyes of Li Yuanchang and the others were also very complicated.
This guy is a trouble now, it will definitely not work to kill him, in the face of Datang's attack, Khotan still needs Li Yuanchang as a hostage, but what if he doesn't kill him? Now that he has been offended, it is hard to imagine that after Datang calls him in the future, this kid will not retaliate.
If you kill it, you will be retaliated by Datang, and if you don't kill it, you will also be retaliated by Datang, which makes everyone in Khotan feel that this kid is a hot potato, and how to choose has become the biggest problem they face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if it doesn't work, let it go, don't let him feel wronged, let's just guard it strictly outside, just don't let him run away." After hesitating for a long time, a middle-aged man beside the prince of Khotan leaned over to his side and whispered persuasion.
"Just let him go? Where to put the king's face? The prince of Khotan lowered his voice and said hatefully.
"If we can't kill him, why should we sin against him?" The middle-aged man analyzed and said: "Your Highness always has to leave a way back for yourself, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”
The prince of Khotan was silent for a moment and took a deep breath: "Okay, this time it's cheaper for him." ”
After that, the prince of Khotan put on a smiling face, waved his hand to the two Khotanese warriors holding Li Yuanchang, and motioned for them to let go of the people, with a hypocritical smile on his face: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, I'm really sorry, just now this prince just wanted to make a joke with your highness, but he didn't expect to let your entourage die, which was not the king's intention." ”
"Just kidding?" Li Yuanchang, who was a little frightened, gritted his teeth and asked.
"It's really a joke, I hope His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't mind." The prince of Khotan squeezed out a smile again, and arched his hand in the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty: "This prince still has important matters, so I will leave, and His Royal Highness the King of Han will rest by himself, if there is any request, you can ask the guards outside." ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's go." In the face of such a situation, what can Li Yuanchang say, except for the departure of the prince of Khotan, he can't even think of a cruel word.
wanted him to learn from the palace maid Xiaoyu and die in front of the palace, Li Yuanchang couldn't do it anyway, and not only couldn't do it, but he didn't even dare to think about it. He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can he die in a small country like Khotan, he still has to save his life to take revenge on Li Chengqian and Li Er, how worthless it is to die.
The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper, it should refer to people like Li Yuanchang!
The chaotic night passed, and at dawn the next day, the entire palace began to search the palace again, and the palaces, gardens, and waterways were ...... As long as there were places where people could be hidden, they were all checked, and even the dung pits of the toilets were not spared.
"Lord, I didn't find out!" The head of the palace guard, when it was getting late, returned to the main hall of the palace and replied to Chi Wumi, the captain of Khotan, who was high on the throne.
"If you don't find it, keep searching until you find someone! Such a big person, if you don't believe him, you can fly to the sky. Wei Chi Wumi stroked his forehead with his hand, glanced at his guard leader lightly, and commanded simply.
After the head of the guard left, Wei Chi Wumi sighed and asked, "You better stay, Lone can make you Lone's princess!" ”
"You have two options, and my patience is limited." Bai Yuening's clear voice came from the top of the main hall, but if she looked up, she could only see a jet-black hand crossbow.
"Even if the Lone King hands people over to you, what can you do? You can't get out of the royal city at all. Yu Chi Wumi didn't seem to be worried that the crossbow arrow above his head would shoot down, but he just persuaded him vigorously.
"Since I'm here, I didn't think I could get out alive, now you still have half a pillar of incense, whether to die together or let me leave with Li Yuanchang, you choose." Bai Yuening's voice was still calm, without a trace of waves, life and death seemed to her as simple as drinking water and eating.
"Is there still time for half a pillar of incense? That's fine. Wei Chi Wumi nodded, and suddenly asked, "How did you get in?" If the Lone King is not mistaken, there should be three clips outside. ”
"You have a good son, you should thank him for my access." Bai Yuening's tone was sarcastic, but the tone was very flat, and it could be seen that she didn't feel any pride because she could get in.
Wei Chi Wumi snorted and didn't speak again, not knowing what he was thinking, maybe he was speculating whether Bai Yuening would really die with him, or maybe he was thinking about how to deal with the son who brought the killer into his palace.
Time passed little by little, and the silence in the hall was terrifying, and Lieutenant Chi Wumi could vaguely hear his heartbeat.
"Someone! Invite His Royal Highness the King of Han to King Lone. Just before the last moment that Bai Yuening said came, Wei Chi Wumi finally spoke.
"Yes!" The voice of a waiter was heard outside the main hall, followed by the sound of messy footsteps.
"Is it worth it for a cowardly Tang royal family?" Taking advantage of the fact that Li Yuanchang was not brought, Wei Chi Wumi asked about the position of the crossbow above his head.
But he didn't get any answer, and the crossbow didn't tremble even a bit, and was still pointing at his forehead steadily.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yuanchang's somewhat desolate figure appeared in front of the main hall and walked into the main hall followed by two guards.
"Dear Yu ......" Looking at Wei Chi Wumi, Li Yuanchang just opened his mouth to ask, and then he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A figure dressed in the costume of a Khotanese maid suddenly fell down from a height, and before he could react, it had already reached the top of Yu Chi Wumi's head, and the black triangular army thorn poked out of the figure's hand like lightning, and at the moment when everyone had no time to react, it was put on the neck of the Khotanese lord.
"There are assassins...... assassins are here, come quickly!" The eyes of the two waiters who followed Li Yuanchang suddenly widened at the boss, and the terrible screams resounded throughout the entire hall .......
