The two of them had no choice but to keep silent. They had no choice but to show their strength. They were no match for them at all. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince has a very bad taste. Every time he plays chess with the two of them, he will kill all the photons and leave a veteran for them.
Naturally, no regrets were allowed in the middle, so every time after the two of them finished playing chess with Li Hong, they always felt a chill on their heads, and the feeling of being shaved made the two of them extremely depressed.
"Why aren't you talking? Believe it or not, I made you two doubt your life?" Li Hong asked provocatively.
"Your Highness, you are amazing. I admire you so much. I have doubts about life since I was ate a photon by you for the first time." Yuan Tiangang said with his hands begging for mercy.
A seventy-year-old man is bullied by a child every day, and his face is full of glory. I am afraid that if word spreads about it, people will laugh at him. Yuan Tiangang's lifelong reputation will be ruined in one day.
"Master, Wenfa and Wutian are back." Xia Zhi whispered beside him.
"They are back? Where is Bai Chun? Why didn't Bai Chun come back?" Li Hong turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, his foot touched the chessboard that was higher than his knees, which naturally disrupted the chess game. .
"Prince, you..." Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Hong's back as he left indifferently, his dark face reflecting the light. He would have completely killed Li Chunfeng in two steps.
Li Chunfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang's dark face with no place to vent his anger, and said relaxedly: "This game does not count, the chessboard has been overturned, let's start the battle again."
"No, no, no, I remember the position of each chess piece just now, and then put it..."
"There's nothing we can do, just start over. Senior brother, can't you afford to lose?"
"Who can't afford to lose? In two more steps I will completely checkmate you?"
"How is it possible? I didn't see that my horse was already in trouble..."
Li Hongshi Shiran walked to the dormitory hall accompanied by Xia Zhi. The noise behind him sounded more pleasant to him than the chirping of birds in the mountains in the morning.
Welless and Wutian looked tired, and they had not closed their eyes for a long time. In order to trace the identity and purpose of those assassins, they, together with the Jingwei, had not dared to rest for a moment in the past few days.
"How's it going? Tell me." Li Hong sat down in the main hall, looked at the tired two people, and gestured for them to sit down.
"Back to Your Highness, we have found out. The other small number of assassins who escaped that day were disguised as business travelers. They were stopped on the road and were surrounded in the back mountain." Unable to pick up the water glass handed over by the maid. , said after taking a sip.
Li Hong pouted and his eyes were full of solemnity. He thought for a moment and asked: "Then who is the mastermind? Why are you here?"
Welfare and Wutian looked at each other, both looking a little uncomfortable. They stood up at the same time, and Wutian said: "Master, Bai Chun is surrounding them in the back mountain now, and everyone else is inside..."
"Bang!" The teacup in Li Hong's hand flew to Wenli's head, and blood suddenly flowed from Wenli's forehead.
Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue were startled by Li Hong's sudden move and almost screamed involuntarily. Since waking up the next day after the assassination, the prince's behavior was no different from usual.
But they have followed the prince for many years and have a good understanding of his temperament. They know that the prince has always been suppressing anger in his heart and has not vented it. Therefore, they have been cautious in everything they do in the past few days, fearing to offend the prince who has not yet recovered. angry.
Hua Meng and others were also frightened. They stood respectfully on both sides, bowed together with Xia Zhi, Weili and Wu Tian and said, "Please calm down."
Unable to let the warm blood flow down from his forehead, flow through his eyes, flow down the bridge of his nose to his mouth, and then flow to his chin and even his neck.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? What did I ask you?" Blood stains oozed from Li Hong's shoulder.
Just now, he picked up the cup with his left hand and smashed it. He originally wanted to hit Wutian who was talking, but his accuracy was far wrong and hit Wutian on the forehead.
"Plop." Wenfa and Wutian knelt on the ground.
Xia Zhi and others took a look and knelt down at the same time. They all lowered their heads and said nothing, waiting for Li Hong to get angry.
There was only one person who was not kneeling at the scene, and that was Xiaoxue. At this moment, she was standing beside Li Hong tremblingly, gently undressing Li Hong's upper body, and saw that the wound on Li Hong's white and tender shoulder that had just been taken out had cracked again. A small area was bleeding out at the moment.
"Why are you kneeling on the ground? Will Bai Lu and Xiao Han be able to survive this way? Get up!" Li Hong pushed Xiao Xue's hand away and roared angrily.
Looking at the motionless crowd, Li Hong angrily threw away Xiaoxue's arm again, walked up to each person, and kicked each one. When he got to Xia Zhi's place, he just raised his foot, put it down again with a groan, and then returned to on the seat.
"Tell me, is this assassination aimed at my mother? Who did it?" Li Hong's tone was calm, but everyone could feel the murderous intent and coldness in every word.
"Yes, Master. We are indeed coming for the Queen. Those who felt Taiyi City that day happened to see you and the Queen traveling, so they hurriedly rushed ahead to arrange a killing spree."
"Is there someone in the court? Or is there an informant in Taiyi City? Or is there an informant in the Royal Manor?" Li Hong asked in a deep voice.
Li Hong's guess was actually right. When Wu Mei came to Taiyi City, these people got the news. However, in order to hide, they did not pass through Chang'an City or Taiyi City, but came from Lantian County. Those who took a roundabout way from the other side would not stay in the city until nightfall every day, but chose to set up camp on their own in the wild.
"As for Hui Ye, the specific situation is not clear yet. It's just that Bai Chun learned about the movements of this group of people from the side. If he wants to know the ins and outs of the matter, he needs to find out the people who are besieged in the back mountain..."
"Take the left and right road clearing officers and set off." Li Honghuo stood up from the chair, and his wound had just been bandaged by Xiaoxue.
"Master..."
"Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." Li Hong walked out without looking back. Xia Zhi and others hurriedly got up from the ground and followed closely behind.
After exiting the door, Hua Meng hurriedly ran out. Around tea time, about 2,000 people had been assembled and were ready to leave at any time.
The three people who were still playing chess in the small pavilion saw the two thousand people suddenly pouring out. They were all fully armed, with swords, horses, bows and crossbows flashing with frightening killing intent. They couldn't help but look at each other. I don't know. What's wrong with the prince
"Uncle Sun, why don't you go and ask? If anything happens to His Royal Highness, the Zongsheng Palace will be blamed for it." Li Chunfeng looked at Li Hong, who had a cold face, and then looked at his thoughtful expression. Sun Simiao said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not an ordinary person. Didn't Tiangang touch his hand on purpose when you were playing chess with him? How confident are you in telling fortunes by touching bones?" Sun Simiao asked, looking down at Yuan Tiangang who was playing with the chess pieces in his hand. .
Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and meditated, and then from time to time he looked at Li Hong, whose view was blocked by Sun Simiao, and said slowly: "This trip should be without any surprises. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince is definitely not a human being. The emperor's appearance is just missing a few small corners. Jackie Chan is just around the corner.”
Sun Simiao nodded silently, thought for a while and walked over quickly. He was over a hundred years old, but he didn't look old at all when he walked.
As he walked, he asked the Taoist boy to go to the pharmacy to get some good trauma medicine. Then he walked to Li Hong and asked with a smile: "Is His Royal Highness going on a trip? Or are you going back to Taiyi City?"
"Old Immortal, I won't go back to Taiyi City. I have some clues about the assassin that day. I don't trust them to go, so I decided to go and see for myself." Li Hong said with a smile.
"Oh, well, Your Highness, you might as well wait a moment. The old Taoist has prepared some good wound medicine. How about bringing some with you, just in case?"
"Thank you so much, old immortal." Li Hong looked at the Taoist boy who hurried over and motioned for Jingzhe to take it over.
Mangzhong had already brought over a horse that was free of all colors and was used to ride on the Prince's carriage.
Li Hong patted the horse's mouth and stroked the horse's neck. The horse seemed to be humane and knew it was its master. It gently rubbed its head in Li Hong's arms coquettishly twice.
With the help of Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, Li Hong rode up with some difficulty. Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi also hurriedly took their mounts and flew onto the horse's back like two blooming flowers, guarding one on the left and the other on the right. The prince's mount.
Zhongnan Mountain is very large, stretching from Chencang County in the west to Lantian County in the east. The back mountain mentioned by Lawless means the back of Chencang County, which is almost out of Zhongnan Mountain. It is far away from Zongsheng Palace. If you hurry up, you can feel it in about an hour. .
Li Hong knew that Chencang County would be named Baoji by his descendant, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, in a few decades.
It is said that Li Longji rebelled against Jiedu envoy An Lushan and fled west to Chencang. When he was surrounded by the rebels and was isolated and helpless, two pheasants suddenly flew up. After circling, they took Li Longji southward. We arrived at a temple on the top of Chencang Mountain.
But when the rebels caught up, suddenly the sky and the earth turned pale, strong winds began to rise, and soon hailstones were falling, driving the rebels away. When Li Longji looked for the two pheasants again, he saw that the two pheasants had turned into stone chickens, standing tall with their heads held high.
So Li Longji blurted out: "Chencang is also a treasure land; the mountain bird is also a sacred chicken. So Chencang was named Baoji.
The section of Zhongnan Mountain located in Chencang County was also renamed from Chencang Mountain to Jifeng Mountain.
There is a huge difference between Chencang Mountain at this time and when Li Hong came in the previous life. There are many strange rocks and rugged roads. Even as soon as you reach the foot of the mountain, you feel as if you have entered a primeval forest.
Li Hong had already forgotten the warnings from his mother and father not to leave Chang'an without permission at any time.
The front clears the way, and the rear naturally clears the way. The cavalry can only walk slowly at the foot of the mountain, following some vague paths or the messy paths left by the herb collectors.
