Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"It's clearly because I don't want to come back, it's done on purpose."

Next to him, Zhang Liang looked confused: "What exactly does he want to do? What does this paddock assassination have to do with him?"

"Master Zhang, don't make wild guesses. I believe that the assassination has absolutely nothing to do with Brother Xiao." Li Ke lay on the sickbed with a pale face and said weakly.

"What your highness said is that the officials are lying." Zhang Liang said respectfully.

Li Ke rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked, "My lords, how is the progress? Have you found the assassin?"

Wei Zheng said slowly: "I searched in the paddock, but I didn't find the assassin."

"I suspect that the assassin has internal support among the city guards, so he left the paddock early."

"People have been sent to investigate the city guards, and the news will arrive soon." Zhang Liang continued.

"That's good, find the assassin quickly, so as not to implicate more innocent people." Li Ke said sincerely.

"Your Highness really has a heart of a child..." Zhang Liang shook his head lightly and sighed.

"By the way, where is my fourth brother? Where is he now?" Li Ke suddenly thought of something, and asked again.

"He..." Wei Zheng and Zhang Liang looked at each other, hesitantly said, "Wei Wang...is missing."

After a pause, Wei Zheng immediately continued: "But don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely find these rampant assassins and rescue His Highness King Wei!"

"disappeared?"

Li Ke looked sad, and said in a deep voice: "How could this be? My fourth brother is pure in nature, has no quarrel with the world, and has never made any enemies. Who is so mad and wants to kill my fourth brother?"

"Your Highness, don't be sad. The body of His Royal Highness King Wei has not been found so far, which means that the assassin did not want to take the life of King Wei, but something else." Wei Zheng said slowly, frowning.

"My lords, I beg you to find my fourth brother, please!" Li Ke said excitedly.

Wei Zheng nodded: "This is our duty, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the door.

"My lord, find out the situation."

"Come in!"

Immediately, a man wearing the costume of Dali Temple entered the camp.

"My lords, Your Highness!"

The visitors clasped their fists one by one, and continued, "I just found out that a ten-man squad in the City Guard Army is missing."

"The subordinate immediately sent someone to contact the capital."

"Later, news came that these ten people had long since died."

"The body was found in a commoner's home next to the city guard building. After being inspected by the foreman, he had been dead for at least four days."

"And four days ago, when the city guards searched the paddock and deployed defenses around the perimeter, each battalion would count the number of people when they went out on missions."

"The strange thing is that the number of people in each battalion these days is complete. Only after the city guards entered the paddock yesterday to search for traces of the assassins did they find that ten people were missing."

"The battalion officers below were afraid of getting into trouble, so they didn't report it in time."

"That is to say..." Zhang Liang frowned and muttered, "Early before the hunting in the paddock, the assassin had arranged for people to sneak into the city guard."

"These ten people are internal agents."

"And the real assassins have already ambushed in the paddock, and they are the ones who did it."

"After the assassination, these ten people responded and escaped smoothly."

"This is an assassination that has been carefully planned long ago!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng immediately looked at Du Ruhui and asked, "Who knows the details of the order of the Ministry of War to mobilize the city guards?"

Du Ruhui frowned, and then shouted: "Come on, bring Cui Heshan and Lu Chengqing here!"

Soon, the two knelt down in the main camp tremblingly.

"Who else knows about the transfer of the city guards?" Du Ruhui asked in a deep voice as he looked at the two of them.

The 2 city guards are mobilized every day and have different tasks.

But the assassin seems to have known the details of the mobilized members.

Otherwise, it is impossible to mix in in advance.

Someone must have leaked the news.

"My lord, in addition to Xiaguan and Lu Chengqing, there are two doctors, one Yuanwailang, and more than ten people including staff and principals for the transfer order of the three thousand city guards stationed in the paddock." Cui Heshan knelt on the ground, honestly Honestly speaking.

"It seems that there is indeed a problem within the Ministry of War. I wonder if Mr. Du knows about it?"

Wei Zheng looked at Du Ruhui thoughtfully.

Du Ruhui frowned slightly: "What does Master Wei mean by that?"

"May I ask Master Du, where is that cold iron ox horn bow now?" Wei Zheng stared at Du Ruhui and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lu Chengqing, who was kneeling on the ground, shrank his pupils and his face was full of panic, but he quickly returned to normal and was not seen by anyone.

"Your Majesty rewarded the divine bow, which will naturally be placed in the warehouse of the Ministry of War."

Du Ruhui had doubts in his eyes.

"Never left?"

"nature."

Immediately, Wei Zheng turned to look at Li Ke, and asked, "Does Your Highness remember what the bow in the assassin's hand looked like?"

Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes flashed an undetectable strangeness, and then he said: "At that time, I was only concerned about escaping, and I didn't look too carefully. I only remembered that the bow was black."

"Are the two ends of the bow shaped like ox horns?" Wei Zheng asked again.

"It seems there is." Li Ke said with some uncertainty.

"That's right!" Wei Zheng's expression froze, "The cold iron ox horn bow is black all over, and both ends of the bow are polished into the shape of ox horns. It was this bow that shot the King of Han!"

After a pause, Wei Zheng looked at Du Ruhui, and said in a deep voice, "Except for you, the Minister of War, who can take this bow?"

……

Inside the paddock.

In the jungle, Li Junxian and other dozens of forbidden troops launched a fierce attack on Yunlong.

The long sword in Li Junxian's hand, with the aura of opening up the world, cut it down with one sword.

Yunlong took his time and raised his sword to block.

The moment the two swords collided, the branch under Yunlong's feet suddenly broke, and the whole person was pressed down and fell.

At the bottom, dozens of forbidden soldiers who had already lined up immediately rushed up.

The guards in the innermost circle all raised their shields and rushed forward.

Behind him, there are long swords piercing out from the gap in the shield.

Seeing that Yunlong was about to be stabbed into a sieve, he was seen to be like a spirit snake, with his feet a little on the tree, and his whole body turned several times.

While unloading, he flew towards the big tree beside him.

But Li Junxian followed closely behind, attacking like a torrent.

The two sides fought fiercely, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

……

The entrance of the underground palace.

"People at the entrance of the cave, back off!"

Li Xiao ordered in a loud voice: "Old Zhao! You bring the forbidden army in! Others guard the surrounding area!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yuntian shouted: "Everyone, raise your shield! Come with me!"

Zhao Yuntian took the lead and rushed in with others.

Li Xiao followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered, countless arrows flew from the depths of the cave.

However, Li Xiao's shield made of steel is extremely strong.

These arrows were bounced off one by one, unable to do anything to them.

In this way, they pushed forward almost sideways, against the arrows.

Suddenly, the front suddenly opened up.

A huge underground palace appeared in front of everyone.

Around the square on the underground palace, countless soldiers in armor were facing them with bows and arrows.

"Damn!"

In the underground palace, the chief guard had an unbelievable look on his face: "What kind of shield is this? Why is it so strong?"

in the underground palace.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain of arrows gradually thinned out.

"Quick! Shoot 'em, don't stop!"

The head guard was still shouting anxiously.

"My lord, the arrow is almost gone!"

"I'm gone too!"

"There are three left!"

The soldiers around said one after another.

Hearing this, the chief guard's face turned pale.

Finished!

The only exit has been blocked, and they have nowhere to hide.

There can only be a bloody way out, or a glimmer of life.

Just when the chief guard made up his mind.

Li Xiao who was behind the shield suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't get excited, we are all our own people! It was Your Highness who asked me to come over to meet you!"

Hearing this, the chief guard was taken aback for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

But in an instant, he said with suspicion in his eyes: "Say the password!"

signal?

Li Xiao walked out slowly after hearing the words: "Heavenly King Gaidihu?"

The moment he saw Li Xiao, the head guard's eyes widened, and he shouted in shock, "It's you!"

"Oh, it seems that I guessed wrong."

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: "But it's okay, at least I now know that the person behind you is the prince."

"Which good brother of mine is it? Could you please tell me?"

"you!"

The chief guard looked panic-stricken, and then said with evasive eyes: "You are mistaken, I am under the command of the Ministry of War, and I don't know any princes."

"If you want to cover it up, don't tell yourself."

Li Xiao's face was calm and indifferent: "Are you arrested without a fight? Or are you going to lie here forever?"

"Brothers!" The chief guard shouted decisively, "There are not many of them, as long as we work together, we will be able to kill them!"

"How to kill? Take the head to kill?"

Li Xiao always had a smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "My personal guards are all from the Forbidden Army in the palace, and there are hundreds of soldiers outside the cave."
