Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Where else can I go but hide underground?

Even if there are internal support from the enemy in the city guards, even the Ministry of War has big problems.

It is not necessarily that the three thousand city guards are all internal responders.

It's not that easy to slip away from the city guards' noses.

What's more, at that time, the soldiers and horses he arranged outside the paddock did not find any trace of the assassin escaping.

Then, the only possibility left is to hide underground.

However, the paddock was so big, of course he couldn't dig all the way through.

That takes too much time.

But not without trace.

The assassin appears in two places.

One is the location where Li Ke was assassinated.

The other is to force Wang Qingxue to escape and take Xue Rengui's place.

Starting from the middle point of the two, looking around is the most efficient way.

Li Xiao had already confirmed this location through the paddock map.

While hurrying, another half an hour passed without knowing it.

And Li Xiao finally arrived at the destination.

At this time, dusk has fallen, and there is still an hour at most before the sky will be completely dark.

"Listen to me!"

Standing in the middle, Li Xiao shouted to his subordinates, "Take this place as the center and look outside."

"The target is the soil. Once you find the recently loosened soil, check carefully to see if there are hidden holes."

"Also, if the assassin is really hiding underground, there must be vents. Those places with more thorns and vines must be carefully checked."

"start to act!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order in unison, and then quickly dispatched.

"Your Highness, why don't you just set it on fire!" Zhao Yuntian said in a deep voice.

Li Xiao: "..."

"Ah yes, Xue Rengui is still at the assassin's place, and he will be roasted together." Zhao Yuntian thought for a while, then suddenly said.

Li Xiao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the assassin can't escape."

"As long as we are still here, we will try slowly, and we will find them one day."

Time passed bit by bit.

From time to time, people came to report and found some hidden small holes.

But after investigation, they found nothing.

……

A few miles away from Li Xiao.

in the underground palace.

An old man with a hooked nose sat on the throne, gently wiping the peerless sword in his hand.

"Master Yunmen, another person from the imperial court has been found nearby."

A man in the uniform of the palace guard came to report.

"Didn't you just look for it? Come again?"

The hooked-nosed old man frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you know all the clothes and armor? Which department are you from?"

"I've confirmed it again and again. There are some forbidden soldiers among them, but they are a minority. The other hundreds of people wear armor, but they are not members of the city guards. I don't know where they are from."

After a pause, the chief guard frowned and said, "They searched very carefully. I am worried that they will find this place. I suggest burying the entrance of the cave."

"Trouble!" the hook-nosed old man said impatiently, "about how many people?"

"About three to five hundred."

"Wait, I'll kill them all!"

"Master Cloud Gate!"

The chief guard hurriedly shouted in surprise: "It's not a matter of how many enemies there are. Even if you are strong in martial arts and can wipe them all out, you will definitely expose this place, which will disrupt His Highness's plan!"

"As long as you destroy the corpse in time, how can it be exposed?"

Yunlong was thoughtful, and then said firmly: "If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you first!"

Looking at Yunlong's eyes full of murderous intent, the chief guard shrank his head and dared not speak again.

Soon, Yunlong came out through the secret hole.

He jumped up and came to a big tree.

"Idiot, this old man won't wait here with you to die!"

He glanced back at the hole, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Then he rose into the sky, and flied towards the outside of the paddock with lightness kung fu.

……

in the underground palace.

"How's the battle outside?"

The chief guard frowned and asked the scout eagerly.

"My lord, there is no sound of fighting outside, and the enemy is still approaching!" The scout replied.

"What?" The chief guard's expression changed, "Damn it! This old fox must have run away!"

"My lord, what shall we do?"

"Quick! Bury the entrance of the cave! Block up the entire cave!" The chief guard ordered anxiously.

"Yes!"

……

on a hillside.

Li Junxian took a telescope and looked around.

Just like a child got his favorite toy, he couldn't put it down.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by in the camera.

Li Junxian quickly adjusted his direction and locked on to one person.

"What a powerful lightness skill!"

"If you don't wear official uniform and armor, you must be an assassin!"

Li Junxian put down the binoculars and ordered: "Leave ten people here to continue monitoring, and the rest follow me!"

"Yes!"

……

in the jungle.

"Your Highness, it will be dark soon." Zhao Yuntian looked up and said solemnly.

"What are you afraid of? I can't find it tonight and continue tomorrow."

Li Xiao was indifferent.

At this time, a guard came over to report: "Your Highness, Master Wei sent someone to say that the King of Han has woken up. Please come back quickly, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, this matter involves a lot. If you don't reply, you may cause criticism." Zhao Yuntian said with a serious face.

"Go tell the person who sent the message that I'm not here, and let me know when you find me." Li Xiao said without thinking.

"Yes!"

The guard immediately turned and left.

"Your Highness, they will suspect you." Zhao Yuntian frowned.

"They won't doubt it when they go back?" Li Xiao said indifferently, "The most important thing now is to find the assassin, otherwise it will be useless to do anything."

"Ugh……"

Zhao Yuntian sighed and didn't speak any more.

suddenly--

"Your Highness, there is a situation here!"

……

In the jungle, Yunlong quickly passed the big trees.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and his body turned a few times in mid-air, just in time to avoid a few crossbow arrows flying from the dark, and then landed steadily on a big tree.

In front, Li Junxian slowly descended from the sky and landed on the tree directly in front of Yunlong.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of imperial guards appeared around Yunlong.

Everyone is watching, ready to go.

"I recognize you, Li Junxian."

Yunlong glanced around, then stared at Li Junxian, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Catch him without a fight, or he will be killed without mercy!" Li Junxian said expressionlessly.

"Ha ha……"

Yunlong smiled disdainfully, and said sarcastically: "There are only so few people, are you rushing to die?"

"Array!"

Li Junxian yelled, and then rushed towards Yunlong.

……

another place.

The entrance of the underground palace mountain.

"Your Highness, this seems to be a cave, and the soil is fresh."

"This is clearly filled in just now!" Zhao Yuntian said with a look of surprise, "Your Highness, it is absolutely right, it is here!"

"dig!"

As soon as Li Xiao gave an order, a dozen soldiers behind him immediately went up with their shovels on their shoulders.

After a stick of incense.

"Your Highness, it's over!"

"It's empty inside!"

"There is fire!"

"There are people inside! Be careful!"

Paddock camp, in the main tent.

"What? Can't find anyone?"

Wei Zheng frowned slightly, looking at the soldier who sent the message.
