Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Page 212



Finally, he had a clear look at the surrounding environment, as well as Li Xiao outside the cell.

Li Tai showed shock on his face: "Brother Xiao, how dare you?!"

"Hey, no..."

"I have no grievances or enmities with you, and there is no competition of interests, why do you want to kill me, brother?"

Li Tai interrupted Li Xiao with a look of disbelief.

"you misunderstood……"

"Brother Xiao, fourth brother Rao... spare my life. From now on, I am willing to be your pawn and help you fight against the boss."

"I swear, I will never tell your secret. As long as I don't kill me, I will agree to any conditions."

Li Tai changed his previous attitude and begged bitterly.

"Forehead……"

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "Fourth brother, you really misunderstood, I won't kill you... Bah! Bah! Bah! You were captured by an assassin earlier, and I came to rescue you."

"Brother Xiao, are you worried?" Li Tai said sincerely, "In this way, you poison me and control me, so you can always rest assured!"

Li Xiao: "..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"see it?"

Li Xiao looked at Lu Li with a helpless expression.

"Your Highness is really good at seeing people!" Lu Li said with a wry smile.

Li Tai begged for mercy all the way, and followed Li Xiao to the outside, all the way to the hall of the underground palace.

Looking around, there were corpses all over the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Li Tai was dumbfounded.

"Brother Xiao, are you really here to save me?" Li Tai asked uncertainly.

"If you don't believe me, don't come out, there is food and drink here, enough for you to live for a few years." Li Xiao said angrily.

Hearing this, Li Tai was finally sure.

The boulder in his heart fell, and Li Tai, who had survived the catastrophe, looked rejoicing.

"Brother Xiao!"

He looked at Li Xiao, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Fourth Brother owes you my life!"

"From now on, Brother Xiao will be Li Tai's best brother!"

"When Brother Xiao needs help, just let me know, no matter how high the mountain is or how far the road is, I, Li Tai, will definitely come to help!"

He put his arm around Li Xiao's shoulder and said sincerely.

"Okay, Rory is talking too much, like a bitch!" Li Xiao teased.

But he didn't push Li Tai's hand away.

He could feel that Li Tai's sincerity came from the heart.

"Haha, brother Xiao can do whatever he says, brother four is indeed a bit hypocritical."

Li Tai laughed loudly, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

"correct!"

Li Tai's expression darkened suddenly, and he asked, "Is the assassin still alive? Have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

"Li Zhong!" Li Xiao shouted.

"The little guy is here!"

Li Zhong immediately stepped out with his fists clasped.

Just realizing what was going to happen next, his expression was a little unnatural.

"Who is that Highness?" Li Xiao asked expressionlessly.

"The little guy doesn't know."

Li Zhong lowered his head and dodged his eyes.

"You don't know?" Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'll give you another chance to answer."

"The villain really doesn't know!" Li Zhong knelt on the ground in horror, "The villain always obeys orders, only the head guard who died before knows."

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "By the way, there is another person. The chief guard calls him the Master of the Cloud Gate. He is quite old, but his martial arts are very strong. He led people to do the assassination."

"The villain is a veteran who retired from the front line. A month ago, he was still working hard for his livelihood. It was the chief guard who gave the villain a large sum of money, and the villain came here."

"If the villain knew that such a big trouble would be caused, he would never take this money. I hope His Highness will find out!"

After hearing Li Zhong's words, Li Xiao remained expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, someone came to report: "Your Highness, Xue Rengui has woken up."

"Let him come over."

Not long after, Xue Rengui knelt down in front of Li Xiao with a face full of guilt, and said in a deep voice: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish him, Your Highness!"

"You did your best." Li Xiao helped Xue Rengui up, and said slowly, "You did a good job protecting your companions from escaping alone."

After a pause, Li Xiao asked, "Do you know the identity of the assassin? Who instigated it?"

Xue Rengui shook his head: "There were 32 black-clothed men who attacked me. Among them was an old man with very high martial arts skills. His subordinates were defeated and captured. He has been in a coma since then, and he does not know the identity of the assassin."

"You were arrested too?" Li Tai frowned, "What should we do? The insider will die, and he will run away. How to find out the real culprit behind the scenes?"

"No hurry, I have a way."

Li Xiao showed a mysterious smile.

……

In the jungle, the chase continues.

It's just that it's getting late and the vision is dimming.

Although Li Junxian pursued with all his strength, Yunlong in front of him was frightened and ran away desperately.

The two sides chase after each other, and the distance remains unchanged.

"who?!"

A shout sounded.

Li Junxian took a closer look.

It turned out that during the chase, they had already reached the defense line of the city guards.

In front, two squads of 20 people from the city guards drew their swords and raised their bows to be vigilant.

"I am the commander of the guards under King Yue, Li Junxian!" Li Junxian shouted loudly, "Stop this person quickly!"

In the dark night, the soldiers of the city guards could only see black shadows, but they couldn't see clearly.

"Fire arrows!"

With one order, Arrow Rain attacked indiscriminately.

Gritting his teeth, Yunlong tried his best to dodge, and his body approached the city guard soldiers.

With a palm strike, a soldier vomited blood and flew backwards.

And Yunlong was also shot by an arrow, but he shouted at Li Junxian: "They have been deceived, come and kill them all!"

After speaking, he ran away.

what? !

The city guard soldiers turned pale with fright, raised their bows and shot.

But there is still Yunlong's figure.

And Li Junxian is coming here.

Facing the attack of sharp arrows, he was angry and anxious.

Chop some, and dodge the rest of the feather arrows.

The city guard soldiers were frightened and launched an attack relentlessly.

It wasn't until Li Junxian approached that all the soldiers saw his appearance clearly and stopped.

But after this delay, Yunlong's figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

"Subordinates are stupid, but they were deceived by thieves, and they deserve death!"

The soldiers of the City Guards panicked and knelt down, looking terrified.

"hateful!"

Li Junxian stopped unwillingly.

"Sir, what should I do now?"

At this time, Li Junxian's guards arrived late.

"He can't run!"

After thinking about it, Li Junxian said in a deep voice, "Go back and meet His Highness first!"

Chapter 242: The black hand behind the scenes surfaced

Outside the underground palace, in order to avoid accidents, Li Xiao did not choose to spend the night in the underground palace, but set up camp outside the cave.

"The boss must have done it!"

In the tent, Li Tai paced back and forth with a gloomy expression.

"It must be because the third brother is threatening his position as the crown prince, so I act first!"

"Besides, I can still put the blame on you, brother Xiao."

After saying that, Li Tai grabbed Li Xiao's arm, with an excited expression on his face: "Brother Xiao, don't be merciful anymore! He has already knocked on his door, if this continues, our two brothers will follow in the footsteps of the third brother sooner or later."

"When did I become soft-hearted?" Li Xiao said helplessly, "If you want to deal with the boss, you must have evidence!"

"Brother Xiao, didn't you just say that there is a way to make them speak?"

"There is a way, but I guess it has nothing to do with the boss."

After thinking for a while, Li Xiao said thoughtfully: "At present, what can be confirmed is that the person behind the scenes is known as His Highness, but I just realized that those vassal kings and county kings are also known as His Highness."

"Impossible!" Li Tai insisted, "Who else could it be except the prince?"

"As for who? We'll know right away." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

"what have you done?"

Li Tai asked in doubt.

"I just detained them separately..." Li Xiao's mouth curled up, "And I told them that whoever confesses first will not only be exonerated, but will also be given a thousand taels of silver, which can be used for a lifetime of freedom."

"but……"

"This opportunity is only one, and only the first person to confess can enjoy it."

"What about the others?" Li Tai asked.

"I said not to kill them, and leave them to the court!"

"Isn't it still inevitable to die?"

"Then I can't handle it."

"Will they talk? I always feel that it's not good." Li Tai looked sad, "Maybe they really don't know, and it's just futile for you to do so."

"Is it in vain? Hehe..."

Li Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Li Zhong beside him, and said, "Li Zhong, do you have anything to say?"

"Little... the little one really doesn't know, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
