Chapter 1197: Whoever Dies, Who Lives
Yongwang Li Lan's loud shout immediately spread outside the bamboo forest. In an instant, the accompanying forbidden army was in an uproar, and they were immediately divided into two groups of people who were clearly distinguished, and drew their swords to confront each other. Chen Xuanli is not here, Azler is not here, whether it is the North Gate Forbidden Army, or the Anbei Forward Battalion, there is no second person who has the prestige to suppress them at this time, and it seems that a chaotic battle is about to break out. And at this time, among the children of King Yong who were also waiting here, Li Yi, the king of Xiangcheng who was not yet weak, took advantage of the unpreparedness of others and suddenly rushed into the bamboo forest with agility.
Father should have succeeded, at this time, facing Du Shiyi alone, as long as he can arrive in time and slash Du Shiyi, the future of the Tang Dynasty will be his father and son's!
As long as Du Shiyi is dead, the generals in front of him are leaderless, and they disobey each other, as long as they are rewarded, they will definitely be able to subdue the army in the future!
Li Yi, the king of Xiangcheng, suddenly rushed into the bamboo forest, and the forbidden army and the soldiers of the Anbei forward battalion facing each other on both sides couldn't help but fall into a dilemma. But at this moment, they only heard an angry shout from behind them: "Whether the assassination of His Majesty is true or false is unknown, just based on the words of King Yong, you are all pig brains?" It's important to explore in the forest first! ”
Before they even had time to find out who the roaring man behind him was, the soldiers of the forward battalion were the first to react, turned around and rushed into the forest. Seeing them like this, the generals of the Longwu Army who were driving today did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed. When they walked through the dense bamboo forest and finally came to the grass pavilion, they were faced with an unexpected scene.
I saw Du Shiyi standing there coldly, while Li Longji sat down, a crossbow arrow almost pierced his left shoulder, and there were two old men busy with something beside him, and behind Du Shiyi, in addition to a row of men in black military robes, there were more than a dozen courtiers in official robes! As the forbidden army that used to defend the Son of Heaven, the generals quickly recognized several of the most familiar high-ranking officials.
Pei Kuan, the left minister, Wang Jin in the imperial history, Qi Di of the Ministry of Officials, and Wei Jiansu of the Ministry of Households...... Although the rest of them couldn't be named at the first time, the vermilion purple official robes were enough to show their pivotal position in the imperial court! And the most eye-catching thing is precisely Chen Xuanli, who is protected in front of the Son of Heaven with a horizontal sword, and several jailers, such a fruitful only remaining general of the forbidden army stands with Du Shiyi, and the meaning is obviously very clear!
King Yong's voice Du Shiyi stabbed the Son of Heaven, there is clearly a problem!
Li Lan covered his right wrist, which was almost broken, and his eyes stared at Du Shiyi like a fire. He had just laughed at Du Shiyi for not having the ability to bravely champion the three armies, but he himself failed to support his son Li Yi to arrive, and the dagger was shot down by Du Shiyi raising his hand with a copper pill, and immediately after, not only did so many officials suddenly appear on his one-third of an acre, followed by two imperial doctors rushing up to surround Li Longji for treatment. And Chen Xuanli's appearance dispelled the only luck in his heart.
"Du Shiyi, hello!"
Du Shiyi said lightly: "King Yong praises falsely, don't dare to be." I just think that His Majesty summoned me back on the grounds that I was seriously ill, but today he made a big move to visit the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and the meaning revealed between the lines seemed to be that he planned to set up the East Palace, and if he couldn't support it, something big might happen. Therefore, I had already asked General Gao to invite General Chen, and brought two imperial doctors and confidants to follow quietly. ”
Thinking of Chen Xuanli's earth-shattering slash at Li Yi, Li Lan couldn't help but curse in his heart this only remaining Tang Yuan hero. Knowing that Li Longji hated Du Shiyi the most, since this general of the forbidden army was hiding on the side, why didn't he just kill Du Shiyi! He clenched his fists fiercely and roared angrily: "What about Pei Kuan? Pei Kuan, how could they be here? ”
"His Majesty has the intention of establishing the East Palace, and it is naturally inappropriate for me to be present alone. In this case, I asked people to inform Zuo Xiang, Qi Shangshu, Wang Zhongcheng and others, the time was in a hurry, and the number of people who came was limited. ”
"Du Shiyi!" This time, Li Yi, the king of Xiangcheng who was supporting his father, was finally afraid, and he shouted inwardly, "This is the Yongwang Mansion, how can you let outsiders in!" ”
This time, it was none other than Gao Lishi who slowly stepped forward from behind Pei Kuan and others. Compared to Du Shiyi, his expression was much more complicated. Seeing that Li Lan and Li Yi's father and son all widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw him, he sighed deeply, but did not answer. And it was Wang Jin who picked up the conversation.
"This is thanks to King Yong, the princes of other families took advantage of the rebels to rebel before and tried every means to drive away the prison officials, but King Yong was very considerate and left people, of course, you just left people, and you never confessed to them. But leaving such a person means that the doors of Yongwang's Mansion are all open, since General Gao and Zuo Xiang and General Chen and others have important things to do, of course he opened the back door and let people in. There is only one wall, and everyone can hear all the words of King Yong clearly, and when things are urgent, it is just right to use a sledgehammer to break the wall to save people. ”
Glancing at Li Longji, who had not yet woken up, Wang Jin kindly added: "King Haojiao Yong learned that the imperial doctor has just diagnosed and treated, and although the arrow wound in His Majesty's place is not light, the arrow is not quenched. It can be seen from this that although the king of Xiangcheng is willing to follow your father all the way to the dark, but your other sons do not have the courage to be rebellious ministers and thieves, so those few quenched arrows have probably been replaced for you. ”
These words are the real fatal blow. Li Lan suddenly couldn't stand steadily. Although the son Li Yi beside him said that his martial arts were superb, Li Lan could also clearly feel that this son, who had always been bold and brave, was trembling. Thinking of the joy that he had just taken a bad breath towards Li Longji, and thinking of the pride that even Du Shiyi was about to fall into the middle of the ruin, his mood was extremely bad at this moment.
In the past, many rebellions have failed, because there are too many people who know, and in the end, someone told the truth, and this was the failure. Therefore, he did the opposite, and in addition to him, the only people who knew about this were Li Yi, the king of Xiangcheng, and the other two older sons, and the other servants and henchmen did not know anything. He thought that if his sons could see the possibility of prosperity and wealth in another day, and that he was a father, they would be loyal to him, but who knew that only Li Yi was the one who ran into the forest to help him today, and the other two actually sold him backhand!
Otherwise, who can change his arrows!
Li Lan didn't ask Du Shiyi again how he knew about his conspiracy, because it was all unnecessary. Becoming a king and defeating the king, so far, he has completely lost miserably, but Du Shiyi killed two birds with one stone, and actually let the conspiracy between Li Longji and his father and son all be heard by Chen Xuanli, Pei Kuan and others. And the arrow that hit Li Longji just now deviated from the point, and it was not quenched, even if the Son of Heaven was greatly injured because of this, maybe he could still pick up a life. After all, he is the only one who loses the most!
"Okay, good, Du Shiyi, I lost to you, and I won't be wronged! I only hope that when Grandpa wakes up one day, he will know that I am dead, and he himself was hit by an arrow, but you are still fine, and you will not be so angry that you want to die again! ”
Li Lan suddenly laughed, followed by a sudden clenching of his teeth, a trace of purple-black blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the person slowly softened. He was rebellious by nature and was most reluctant to bend his knees to survive, so he prepared a special poisonous wax pill to press under his tongue early, preparing to cut off his life in case of emergency. When he fell, Li Yideng, the king of Xiangcheng, gasped, he hurriedly grabbed his father with one hand and pinched his cheeks with the other, trying his best to make him spit out the poison pill, but all he got was a miserable laugh from Li Lan.
Hu'er, bad luck, goodbye to my father and son!
Li Yi understood his father's expression, and he was like being struck by lightning. He trembled and hugged his dying father with both hands, remembering that Li Lan had been extremely fond of him since he was a child, and he had lamented the loneliness and loneliness in the deep palace back then, he suddenly raised his head and glared angrily at the people in front of him, and shouted hoarsely: "Li Longji, you are not only a faint king, but also an evil father, I have so many sons of heaven in the Tang Dynasty, you have never treated your children and grandchildren like this, you are more vicious than Empress Zetian!" Since you guard us like thieves and use us like tools, don't think that we are really your father! Even if you are lucky to live today, you don't want to be peaceful in this life, I will watch you under the Nine Springs, and see that you will not die well in the future! And Du Shiyi, and the rest of you, don't think that you really won, the monarch and the minister have to die, and you won't end well! ”
Speaking of which, he picked up the long knife that had just fallen to the ground, and he wiped his neck resolutely!
With the blood splashing around, everyone present was shocked. Since ancient times, so many dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, royal relatives, and even generals and civilians who have failed in rebellion, many people still want to live after the defeat, but they can refuse to die, there is no one in ten, this pair of father and son has such courage! If this courage could be used in the right place, how could it become such a pathetic joke as it is today?
Coincidentally, the two imperial doctors of the Imperial Physician's Department were picking up arrows for Li Longji at this time, and because the pain was really overwhelming, it actually woke up the king who had just fainted. Before Li Longji could survive the severe pain that could make him curl up in a ball, he heard the sharp scolding and curse in his ears, and immediately fainted again. And in the next quarter of an hour, he was tossed by the sharp pain of the drill heart and woke up from time to time, and in the end, he wished to pass away with two feet directly, but at this point, he couldn't even stand him alive or dead!
As the bodies of Yongwang Li Lan and Xiangcheng King Li Yi were taken away, Chen Xuanli, whose face and mood were all extremely complicated, had no choice but to drink back those tense guards of the Longwu Army and the soldiers of the Anbei Forward Battalion.
Seeing that Du Shiyi was safe and sound, the soldiers of the Anbei Forward Battalion reluctantly retreated. Although they still don't know too much about what happened from the few words just now, the death of Li Luan's father and son is obviously not simple. When everyone retreated, they couldn't help but stare at the piercing bloodstains a few more times, and their mood was heavy.
However, what I feel is not a taste in my heart, but it is the bigwigs with higher status who are present. Hearing what you shouldn't hear, seeing what you shouldn't see, what should you do in the face of this extremely complicated scene?
Chen Xuanli's face was gloomy, and when he was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside. At this time, he was already full of bad taste, and finally became angry, and came to the gate of the bamboo garden in three or two steps, and when he was about to ask, he recognized at a glance that the person who was sweating profusely was one of his henchmen.
"General, General! About 1,000 people from the Yulin Army left the Daming Palace and went to Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang! ”
