Chapter 617: Avenge His Highness Chongjiu
I don't understand, but Mugen still called back the few heroes who were still stupid, and asked, "Is there any place around here where I can hide horses, like a cave or a hill or something?" Well, there's a lot of woods here, but I've never drilled into it. β
The heroes thought to themselves: "Don't say that you haven't drilled the forest here, and we haven't drilled either, what's there to drill in the forest, unless it's to hunt in the forest, but who has the heart to hunt these days!" β
They thought about it for a while, and they all shook their heads and said: "The trees here are not big, this place is close to the city, the land price is high, if anyone has a piece of land, it is all used to grow food, so there are not many woods and not big, but there is one small hill, the mountain is full of broken stones, neither can grow soil, nor does it grow grass, it is bare, but there is no cave on the mountain, then I don't know." β
Yang Ze asked: "Don't you usually go to that gravel mountain bag, climb high and look into the distance, look at the scenery outside Chang'an City, it should be full of good, and it is a mountain bag, even if it is not too high, it won't take much effort to climb up, right?" β
The heroes shook their heads again, and the leading heroes said: "There was a murder there, that is, a few years ago, I heard that there were scholars from other places who wanted to go up the mountain to see the scenery, and they also wanted to chant poems against each other, and several people went together, but somehow, they all died on the mountain, and there was a lot of evil, so everyone didn't go." β
Yang Ze listened to Hadi and said, "Okay, that's it, give them horses." Let them lead the way in front of the head, let's go to the gravel mountain where there has been a murder, we have to go quickly, if we go late, I am afraid that we will not see His Royal Highness the Prince. β
Everyone listened inexplicably, Mu Gen pointed to the blazing Zhuangzi, and said, "Master, the fire in the Zhuangzi can't be saved, the prince should be in the Zhuangzi." He didn't figure out who we were, so he was afraid, so he set himself on fire, wanting to die, so as not to suffer endless torture, he misunderstood, as long as we sent someone over to make it clear, isn't it okay, why do you want to go to that broken stone mountain bag! β
In the middle of the night, Mugen didn't want to go to the place where the murder had occurred. Even if so many people go together, he doesn't have that kind of preference, and besides, Li Chongjiu must be in Zhuangzi, how can he go to that small mountain bag, even if he wants to go, there are so many eyeliners outside Zhuangzi, how can he escape the eyes of these heroes, and Li Chongjiu must know that there are people watching outside, so he will not burn Zhuangzi on fire. Then you run away on your own, you can't escape at all, so why bother trying.
But Yang Ze didn't explain to him, and the generals didn't listen to him. Led by the heroes, they ran to the hill together, and Mugen waited in place for a while, and then he followed the horse. What Master said is always right, and it shouldn't be wrong this time. It is estimated that Li Chongjiu's guy may be in Stone Mountain. However, Li Chongjiu in the middle of the night was not staying in Zhuangzi, what was he doing on the other side of the stone mountain?
Riding a horse and walking very fast, it only took a moment to reach that kind of broken stone mountain, by the moonlight, Yang Ze looked up, this hill is not big, and it is also very deserted, there are no villages and farmlands around, and it is far away from the avenue, it is estimated that very few people generally come here.
Yang Ze sighed: "Pity the scholars in those murder cases, I don't know why I can't think of it, I came here to see the scenery, but I lost my life in Huangquan, and their revenge, no one will avenge them, they died in vain." β
He saw that Li Chongjiu's Zhuangzi was on fire, and after only a little pondering, he deduced what was going on. During this time, Li Chongjiu must have been very scared, especially if something happened in the city during the day, he must have been even more afraid, after all, this was a coup d'Γ©tat that would determine his life and death in the future.
But Li Chongjiu definitely didn't dare to send someone outside to find out the news, there were Yang Ze's people outside Zhuangzi who were monitoring, even if Li Chongjiu didn't care about the outside affairs, it was impossible for him not to know this, which made him unable to know the things outside Zhuangzi at the first time, and even if someone in the city was active and wanted to come to pat his ass, but the situation in the city was undecided, so he wouldn't really come, and Yang Ze came quickly, so Li Chongjiu was unlikely to know that his sister became the empress, and his father was waiting for Chan to ascend the throne.
Li Chongjiu has a very gloomy temperament, and has been living under the pressure of the eldest princess, it is impossible for him not to think of a way out in advance, but the world is so big, he, the little prince, has nowhere to escape, at most, he will be incognito in the future, with his own jewelry, and be a rich man, but if the eldest princess is in power, he has to die, even if he escapes, sooner or later he will be caught one day, so in order to avoid future troubles, the best way is that he is "dead".
Li Chongjiu must have been prepared for this a long time ago, he got that there was a big chaos in the city, he knew that it was going to end, and he didn't know that Yang Ze led the troops back to Chang'an, so he must have thought that the eldest princess would win, then his good days would come to an end, if he didn't want to die, then he had to "die first", so after dark, when he learned that there was a large group of cavalry in the city, he immediately made a decision and asked his family to set fire to the entire Zhuangzi to the ground.
The rest of the things are easier to do, as long as he leaves a corpse in Zhuangzi, which is burned beyond recognition, and then puts some unburned tokens around this corpse to prove that this corpse is his own little prince, then the army from the city will think that he was really burned to death, which can be regarded as a way to commit suicide, after returning to the eldest princess, of course the eldest princess does not want to do more, after all, she has just gained power, and the eldest princess will still pretend to be kind no matter how she is, and she will inevitably give Li Chongjiu a grand funeral and cover the coffin. Since then, there is no such person as Li Chongjiu in the world.
If Li Chongjiu can escape, find a remote place to live incognito, and live the rest of his life honestly, this possibility is still very great.
And there was a fire in Zhuangzi, how did Li Chongjiu escape? Escape from the sea of fire, and can not be found by the people watching outside, that in addition to digging the tunnel, there is no other good trick, of course, the opening of the tunnel can not be next to Zhuangzi, but not too far, because the tunnel dug can not be too long, too big the project Li Chongjiu can not afford, after all, there are not so many reliable subordinates, so the exit must be near Zhuangzi, and it is a place where ordinary people will not go, this tunnel should have been prepared a long time ago, but it happened at the right time, It's time for this juncture.
Didn't the heroes say, there was a murder case here in Broken Stone Mountain a few years ago, and there was no one living around, so the exit was here, and those scholars were estimated to be unlucky, and they inadvertently found the exit, and as a result, they were wiped out and became a headless unsolved case, and Li Chongjiu will be the prince in the future, and those scholars will die in vain, no one will avenge them, and the government doesn't care, there are too many headless unsolved cases, and it is not bad for this one.
Riding on a horse, Yang Ze only felt the night breeze slowly, blowing very comfortably on people's bodies, he was silent for a long time, only felt that there was no sound around the stone mountain bag, and the soldiers and generals around him were silent, only the sound of the war horse made a sound, which showed the silence of the night.
None of the soldiers moved, waiting for Yang Ze to give orders, but Yang Ze closed his eyes instead, as if he was dozing off on a horse.
After a while, all of a sudden, there were two dog barks from the stone mountain bag, these two dog barks were not loud, and they were a little muffled, and they did not sound from the surrounding area, but from the small mountain bag.
Yang Ze opened his eyes with a smile on his face, that Li Chongjiu really didn't walk fast, it took him so long to walk to the exit of the tunnel, and he was still carrying a dog, it seems that he is very careful, but it's a pity, no matter how careful he is, he is not his opponent!
After a while, the dog barked again, and this time the sound was much clearer, and the dog barked louder and louder, and there was a tendency to stop, but it barked and barked, but suddenly it stopped, as if it were a long strip of cloth, which had been cut with a sharp scissors!
Obviously, Li Chongjiu brought the dog to the exit of the tunnel, let the dog smell the smell outside, the dog's nose is much better than the human nose, and people don't need to go out of the tunnel to investigate, just from the dog's bark, you can know if there is an ambush outside. Yang Ze brought a large number of soldiers and generals, both men and horses, if the dog can't smell it, it won't be called a dog.
Yang Ze turned his head and said to the generals: "It's a pity that dog, it's a good dog, he will call the police when he is in danger, but he was killed by his master instead!" β
At this time, there is no need to explain, the soldiers and generals are also clear, there must be tunnels in this stone mountain bag, and it must have been dug by Li Chongjiu, after the dog called the police, Li Chongjiu was afraid of exposing the target, and he must have hacked the dog to death with a knife, otherwise the dog would not suddenly stop the sound!
Yang Ze waved his hand, and the generals immediately dispersed, outflanking in the direction where the dog barked from, the stone hill was not big, and the Bohai warriors and Zhenxi soldiers on it were easily surrounded.
Mugen shouted, "It's a sound coming from inside this big stone, if you move this stone away, you can see the exit of the tunnel, and there is fire inside...... Ah, the fire is gone! β
There must be a vent at the exit of the tunnel, if someone lights a torch inside, the light will definitely come out, and when Mugen screams, the torch will naturally be extinguished by the people inside!
Yang Ze rode his horse to the front of the big stone and shouted: "Move the stone, kill it, cut all the people inside, and then catch it out, go to find some firewood, burn the captives to death, and avenge His Highness Chongjiu!" β
The soldiers and generals shouted together, shouting to avenge His Highness Chongjiu, the voice was so loud that even the people in the tunnel must be able to hear it clearly!
There was silence in the tunnel for a moment, and suddenly someone shouted: "Don't kill in, let's go out, let's go out!" β
"This king is Li Chongjiu, you say you want to avenge His Royal Highness Chongjiu, but avenge this king?" Another voice sounded inside.
Yang Ze shouted: "Nonsense, it must be a pretend, throw away all the weapons, come out and surrender!" He glanced at Fu Bingrong.
Fu Bingrong understood this look, was a little surprised, and whispered: "Master, is this good, he will hold a grudge, so it is better to kill it while it is dark!" β
"It's to make him hate me, and he has to live, people are useful when they live, dead people are useless, they have to be valuable." Yang Ze smiled. (To be continued......) R1292
