Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

After speaking, he pulled the trigger first.

The guards around him followed suit.

"call out!"

Ten black dots disappeared in an instant.

In the distance, Changsun Wuji felt his scalp tingling when he saw this scene.

The moment he saw the crossbow in Li Junxian's hand, he had a kind of understanding.

If hit by an arrow, he will definitely die!

He didn't have time to think about it, he fell down and got down on the ground.

The next second—

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The sound of sharp blades piercing through the flesh and screams continued to resound.

Bloody water, flying in the air.

Due to its great power, the bolts of the God Arm Crossbow can often lift countless stumps and broken arms as long as they are hit.

In this wave of salvo, more than half of the cavalry led by Changsun Wuji were killed or injured in an instant.

"stop!"

"Stop it now!"

There were also people who were lucky enough not to be injured, and when they saw Li Junxian and others aiming at them again, they shouted hysterically.

"We are under Changsun Wuji's command, stop now!"

far away.

After hearing this voice, Li Junxian frowned immediately, raised his hand and said, "Stop attacking!"

Before, he could pretend not to know, but now the name of Changsun Wuji was shouted on the other side.

If they do it again, it will be unreasonable.

A moment later, someone didn't know who fished out Changsun Wuji from the bloody water.

He got down on the ground immediately, and luckily, he wasn't on the firing line of the crossbow.

But even so, his body was also covered with blood, and he was in a terrible state.

Ever since he got up, Changsun Wuji's gaze had been fixed on the divine arm crossbow in Li Junxian's hand, and he didn't leave for a moment.

His eyes were full of anger and confusion.

"It turned out to be the eldest grandson."

Li Junxian brought people closer, clasped his fists and said: "Just now I was ordered to hunt down the assassin, and I didn't notice that the lord is here for a while, and those who hurt the lord, the subordinates will make amends to the lord."

With that said, Li Junxian bowed deeply to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was silent, but all the frightened cavalry around him couldn't help but speak.

"Li Junxian! What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to kill the imperial court official here?"

"Is this what you mean, or His Royal Highness Yue?"

"It's over! It's over!"

"Shut up!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly shouted.

He took a few steps forward slowly, came to Li Junxian, stared at the god arm crossbow, and said slowly: "What kind of crossbow is this?"

But Li Junxian kept silent, not intending to answer.

Just then, a voice came from a distance.

"Old Sun, what happened? Why is it so tragic?"

Everyone looked around and saw Li Xiao walking slowly with Zhao Yuntian and several guards.

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Xiao, you did a good job!"

"Are you going to kill all the people here?"

"what are you saying?"

Li Xiao looked confused, and then seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Could it be... Uncle Li did it?"

"Li Junxian!"

Li Xiao's face darkened, he turned his head to look at Li Junxian and reprimanded: "What's going on? Why did you hurt the eldest grandson?"

"Your Highness!" Li Junxian said so, "This subordinate was ordered to pursue the assassin, and discovered an astonishing thing."

"Say."

"These assassins seem to belong to the eldest grandson." Li Junxian said slowly.

Chapter 177: Death Without Proof

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Xiao immediately frowned, but then asked doubtfully, "Could Uncle Li make a mistake?"

Li Junxian said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this subordinate has come chasing the assassin all the way, and never lost it."

"At this moment, those assassins are among the crowd. Even their attire is almost the same as that of the eldest grandson."

"Also, it seems that the eldest grandson intends to protect these assassins."

"My lord, is that so? Do you really want to assassinate me?"

Li Xiao looked at Changsun Wuji suspiciously.

"Come on!"

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Xiao expressionlessly, and shouted, "Take down all the assassins immediately!"

all of a sudden.

Before Li Xiao could react, Changsun Wuji's men drew their swords one after another.

After a few screams, there were a few more corpses on the ground.

"Your Highness, just now when I was on the way, I found someone sneaking out of the team, so I chased after him all the way. Unexpectedly, they were going to assassinate His Highness!"

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "It's clear that someone deliberately sent someone here to blame me. Your Highness needs to keep his eyes open."

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed, he stared closely at Changsun Wuji, and fell silent.

"Your Highness, those assassins just now have been killed..." Li Junxian came over and whispered in Li Xiao's ear.

"Changsun Wuji, you are too ruthless, and you are so cruel to your own people, aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction among your subordinates?"

Li Xiao stared at Changsun Wuji's eyes with a serious expression.

He really didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would have this trick.

Kill everyone before they react.

In this way, there is no proof of death.

It is also impossible to convict Changsun Wuji of assassinating the prince.

At most, it is a crime of lax discipline.

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, you must know that rumors can kill people."

"These assassins sneaked into my team for exactly this purpose, Your Highness, don't be fooled and used by villains." Changsun Wuji said expressionlessly.

"Since there are people who are obstructing it, why didn't the eldest grandson stay alive? Don't you want to find out who is planning all this behind the scenes?"

"What Your Highness said is true, I was indeed negligent for a while, I didn't think of this, alas..."

Speaking of it, Changsun Wuji sighed: "Now that the person is dead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any progress if we want to investigate."

"But don't worry, Your Highness, since I have a problem here, I will definitely investigate to the end, catch the murderer, and return His Highness justice."

"Ha ha……"

Li Xiao smiled lightly, then turned around.

"let's go."

He didn't expect that Changsun Wuji was so impeccable.

If he continued, he would have nothing to do with Changsun Wuji.

This was clearly planned by Changsun Wuji long ago.

All back roads are paved.

The old fox is still the same old fox, and will not let him be brought down so easily.

but……

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up.

That's what makes it interesting!

After a while, Li Xiao led the people away for a long distance.

"Uncle Li, just leave the recruitment to the people below. Help me find out what Li Chengqian has been doing recently?"

Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

It has now been determined that Changsun Wuji harbored evil intentions.

The purpose is to get rid of his competitor for Li Chengqian.

Since he will face Li Chengqian sooner or later, he must know himself and his enemy, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.

"Subordinates obey!"

Li Junxian naturally treats Li Xiao all the way.

After a pause, Li Junxian continued: "Actually, my subordinates have been sending people to keep an eye on the Prince's movements, but the defense is too strict, and only some superficial information has been found."

"Oh? What news?" Li Xiao asked.

"The prince hasn't acted strangely in the past half a month. He basically stays in the East Palace, and when he comes out, he also participates in some banquets and meets his disciples by the way."

Li Junxian said thoughtfully: "But it's all on the bright side, those who secretly support the prince are the most important."

"From the point of view of my subordinates, the prince is planning to make a big fuss about the martial arts in a few days' time, and take the opportunity to install some confidantes into the court."

"Martial examination?" Li Xiao was taken aback, "Is it the imperial examination?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the news has only just come in. The Tang Dynasty is at war with the Turks and Dongying at the same time. It is a time when there is a large demand for talents, so this year's martial arts has been brought forward a few days." Li Junxian explained.

"Your Highness," Lu Li said suddenly, "Martial arts matters a lot. Most of the outstanding ones will be sent to lead the army to fight. As the prince, it is too easy to promote some people. We must not sit still and wait for death."

"It's not that serious. If the prince wants to extend his hand to the military power, he has to ask His Highness's old father-in-law if he agrees." Li Junxian smiled slightly.

"That's right, with General Li Jing and Li around, the crown prince probably won't be able to make any achievements in the army in his life." Lu Li immediately felt relieved and smiled.

Hearing this, Li Xiao remembered.

It seems that he still has a marriage contract with Li Jing's daughter.

No wonder Changsun Wuji was so anxious to get rid of him.

Once he married Li Changge, Li Jing's daughter, it would be even more difficult to touch him.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiao suddenly said: "What if Li Jing is no longer here?"

"Your Highness means..." Li Junxian was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly, "The crown prince will attack General Li?"

Lu Li said with a serious face, "It's unlikely, right now, it's time for war, if General Li is gone, who will stop the Turks and Dongpu?"

"Not now, but what about in the future?" Li Xiao said slowly.

"What Your Highness said is that the subordinates are a little optimistic." Li Junxian said hastily.
