Chapter 18 Three Characters to Kill Thieves
There are thousands of people in the huge military camp, but they only have three hundred!
But at this point, there is no way to go!
Li Longye walked into the military camp with his chest raised, holding a yellow scroll in his hand, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the scroll, which was like the imperial edict I personally visited.
Pei Min had also been among the three hundred soldiers. They walked in more than 300 men and relied on Li Longye's playful aura and rushed straight into the central army commander's tent along the way.
Although the Central Army commander's tent was generous, it could not accommodate less than 300 people, of which 285 were outside the tent, and there were only fifteen people in the tent. This was the number that Pei Min deliberately controlled. If too many people were arranged in the tent, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, and regard it as a tiger's den of a life-threatening life, so he did not dare to enter. However, as long as there were few people in the tent, even if he knew it was a Hongmen Banquet, he would have to break into it.
Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of Taiji Palace. It is located on the Yupo of Longyuan. The terrain is relatively high. Looking down at the palace city, it is like in control: it is an important gateway to the north of the palace city. It is also because of its important political and military status. At that time, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ordered that the left and right camps be set up at Xuanwu Gate, and the generals of the guards were led by them. Their troops were famous for hundreds of cavalry. Later, it continued to expand, from hundreds of cavalry to thousands of cavalry. In the first year of Wu Zetian, it was changed to the left and right Yulin Army. Therefore, this place became the important place for the central imperial guards to defend themselves and the source of all palace coups.
Because of its high position, Chang Yuankai and Li Ciyi had already appeared with more than a hundred people from Li Longye, Pei Min and Wang Maozhong.
They gathered together sensitively and watched each other as Li Longye rushed into the central army's tent with fearlessness.
Chang Yuankai said with a terrified look on his face: "What is the Supreme Emperor trying to do? He just passes the order. I need to use three million cavalry?"
Li Ci's face was also pale and said, "It's not that the Supreme Emperor changed his mind and regretted it again, right? I want His Majesty to continue to serve as the emperor and want to withdraw our military power?"
Isn’t it just a false dict? This sentence was comforted by Pei Min, but in fact, false dictation is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Beheading is light, and it is serious that it directly affects the three tribes. Chang Yuankai and Li Ci had preconceived ideas, and never expected that Li Longye was falsely spreading the imperial edict.
What's more, Li Dan is not a wise ruler. He is soft-hearted and indecisive. Everyone knows that his ideas are like the weather from time to time, and no one can predict them. God knows what kind of wind Li Dan has taken and what kind of solutions he came up with. Chang Yuankai can't figure out Li Dan's thoughts. It's hard to guess the unfathomable emperor. Li Dan's indecisive emperor for a while is also confused.
Regarding Li Ci's words, Chang Yuankai retorted: "No, the Supreme Emperor loves His Highness the Princess after all, so he will not leave any room at all. I am worried that the Supreme Emperor will deceive people and say that we have the intention of rebellion, so that King Xue will lead ten thousand cavalry to the camp to test."
Li Ci's face also changed: "What should I do?"
"It's okay!" Chang Yuankai gradually calmed down and said, "With the eldest princess here, we have never done anything, the eldest princess will not sit idly by and watch us wrong for no reason. We must not catch the handle here, otherwise we will be unable to argue."
Li Ci looked at the handsome tent in the distance, swallowed his spit and said, "So, we are going to receive the order. For some reason, I feel so furious."
"Nonsense!" Chang Yuankai had nothing to do with his subordinates and cursed directly: "Refusing to accept the order is equivalent to resisting the order. I want to live a few more years."
Li Cicancan said: "I'm afraid, these last few days are the easiest to cause trouble."
Compared to Li Ci's family background, Chang Yuankai had at least seen the world. He replaced Zhang Renyuan as the chief supervisor of the Shuofang Army and was responsible for the war in the north. Although he did not do a good job and was despised by the local people, it was not comparable to the flowers in the greenhouse like Li Ci. He said in a deep voice: "You are considering it well, and you must beware that Your Majesty will give us a boat at the last moment. I saw that there were only a dozen people in their commander's tent, and the rest were outside the tent. We first arranged troops and horses to wait near the commander's tent, and each brought his guards to receive the imperial edict. Even if there was an accident, it would be possible to deal with it in an instant. We still had to let the princess know the situation here."
Li Ci thought about the guards arranged by Princess Taiping for them, and felt at ease in her heart, and praised: "The General's words are reasonable! This Youyulin Military Camp is our territory, so what are you worried about? Why do you want to put on the Mingguang Armor and say you are training."
Chang Yuankai thought it was right, and while he issued an order to send his confidant to inform Princess Taiping, he also returned to the camp to wear the Mingguang Armor.
The Mingguang Armor is the most famous general armor of the Tang Dynasty. It is made of hundreds of iron pieces. The key points are sewn by steel pieces. Not to mention incompetent swords and guns, it is not easy for ordinary iron to break the defense.
They all armed with each other's guards and walked towards the handsome tent together.
Li Longye put the imperial edict in his hand in front of him and whispered loudly: "Chang Yuankai, Li Ci received the imperial edict!"
When reading the imperial edict, the envoy is equivalent to the emperor, and officials must respectfully accept the imperial edict.
It was not popular in the Tang Dynasty that kneeling ceremony, but bowing was necessary.
Chang Yuankai and Li Ci both bowed their bodies and leaned forward halfway.
Li Longye thought: "You Yulin"
clang!
Li Longye had just recited three words and heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed. Before he could recite the "General" afterwards, the back of the imperial edict in his hand was already scarlet red, and his two huge heads rolled to his feet, swallowing the words behind him into his stomach.
Only two headless corpses were left in front of him, blood columns soaring into the sky, and the smell of blood instantly filled the handsome tent.
Chang Yuankai, Li Ci is dead!
Li Longye didn't even know how the two died, just breathing, three words, the two of them were different
Pei Minyi's sword killed Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, but did not stop. He threw the scabbard in his left hand at the thin middle-aged man behind Chang Yuankai, and took the remaining three people in his hand.
Pei Min took action too quickly, and even the prepared ones didn't react, let alone the guards. Although they were very skilled in martial arts, they were all bowing and had no time to dodge and draw the sword. Just two swords, the two behind Li Ci killed him. The third man had a little gap and avoided Pei Min's fast sword. Just as he was about to draw his sword and fight, how could Pei Min do as he wished? Qin Emperor's sword was slashed in the diagonal, and the other party's wrist was broken.
Pei Min then realized that the flashy Qiushui sword in his hand was not a flashy Qiushui sword, but a sharp weapon that could cut gold and cut jade. The sword edge did not stop and streaked upwards, passing through the other party's neck.
A scream of roar, a bang!
Wang Maozhong soared into the sky like a missile, and fell heavily to the ground. A dog chewed on the mud and shouted: "Bah, kill him, kill him!"
It turned out that when Wang Maozhong saw Pei Min succeed, he started to steal their soup again. With secret hatred, he directly called the soldiers to snatch the soup.
In order to avoid Pei Min's hidden weapon, the thin middle-aged man happened to be close to him and drew his sword and slashed at him.
Yiji knife, fast and powerful!
But he didn't expect that the middle-aged man's martial arts were above him, especially his footwork was very strange, and he was tilted left and right, making him dizzy, unable to tell the difference between the south and north, and his butt came strong and he soared into the air.
Pei Min walked up with the sword and smiled and said, "Your opponent is me!" Before Chang Yuankai and Li Ci entered the tent, he stared at the six people in the tent. Chang Yuankai and Li Ci were wearing thick armor, and dodging was like a lamb in his eyes. All he did was to find the right position and use the sword in his hand to cut through their necks. Chang Yuankai and Li Ci were extraordinary. From their walking posture, it can be judged that the four people had a certain foundation in the lower plate. People with steady lower plates have certain martial arts.
Especially the thin middle-aged man closest to Chang Yuankai, although he was not very good-looking, every time he took a step, the distance between the steps was as accurate as he had carefully calculated. It was not only accurate but also took root. Just talking about the effort he put into practice, Pei Min couldn't compare with him. His martial arts were the best among the four guards.
Therefore, Pei Min made an analysis in his mind. After killing Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, he killed the other three people first. He tried his best to deal with the middle-aged man, using the scabbard as a hidden weapon, so he did not want him to hinder himself.
But he didn't expect that Wang Maozhong would go to trouble him roughly and suffer a great loss.
Wang Maozhong was the leader of three hundred soldiers. If he died, the situation would only be worse. Without hesitation, the Qin Emperor's sword reached the back of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's figure flashed and actually dodged. He raised his sword and stabbed the soldiers beside him in the chest, killing his life.
Pei Min raised his eyebrows and felt angry. He missed the sword and followed the two swords. This move became more swift and fierce. The middle-aged man slanted and dodged to the left. Pei Min's third sword, fourth sword, fifth sword, and sixth sword swept. In an instant, the sword shadow filled the sky, and the tricky and strange sword force was like a dragon shadow flying in the sky, and the dragon claws danced wildly, suppressing the middle-aged man so that he had nowhere to dodge.
The sound of hearing the sound was heard, and the long sword in the middle-aged man's hand broke with the sound, and his chest was split, blood dripping down.
The middle-aged man squatted on the ground with his butt and grinned at Pei Min, "I didn't expect that before his death, he could experience such a tricky and sharp sword technique in his own way." He was not the thief of Jiangyang recruited by Hui Fan, but the talent that Princess Taiping deliberately bought, named Xu Ning, who was a disciple of the eldest princess's mansion. His best skills were to work hard and had some attainments in swordsmanship. In order to test his ability, Princess Taiping specially ordered fifty sharpshooters to shoot him. Fifty people shot ten arrows each, but he couldn't hurt him at all. Today, he saw Pei Min taking action like lightning, and he was known for his speed, so he didn't have time to support him. The master was dead. He wanted to find a chance to escape with his footwork, but he didn't expect Pei Min's sword to block all his ways out, forcing him to be subjected to the sword.
Wang Maozhong took a breath and angrily attacked his heart, throwing the long sword in his hand out.
