The Fish Talisman mobilized the Jincheng Night Guards, and the mansion where His Royal Highness the Prince was stationed was already empty. After the Jincheng Guards were transferred, the entire mansion seemed to be swallowed up by the night as the torches in the hands of the guards disappeared. Even the courtyard wall seemed to be blurred.
Men Cheng was carried by a dark figure and rushed to the gate of Jincheng City. After checking the two, the city guard quickly opened the city gate.
The moment the city gate opened, the fire immediately illuminated the entire city gate. A group of brightly armored Tang soldiers were seen, holding torches and horses, standing menacingly at the city gate.
"Follow me into the city immediately!" The man in black walked into the general's office in front of the soldiers outside the city and said coldly.
At the same time, the man in black took out another token and checked it with the general outside the city. The general nodded solemnly.
Then he turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, there are rebels in Jincheng. Now is the time for you to use us. We should bravely kill the enemy and do our best for you! Show the might of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Magnificent!”
"No!" A low but thick voice came from among the soldiers. It was obvious that they had already explained it before, so the soldiers just replied in a low voice.
Three thousand people rushed in quickly with torches from the two city gates, suddenly driving the originally pitch-black night into an even darker night.
The firelight illuminated the narrow streets of Jincheng. Following the generals' command, three thousand people quickly surrounded the mansion.
"Send the order, anyone who tries to escape will be killed without mercy!" A young man said calmly at the door of the mansion.
"Yes, General." Guan Wei had an excited look on his face. After this night, he would become famous.
As for the concubine named Wang, when the sun rises tomorrow, hey, he will be taken into his mansion, and then he can enjoy it as he pleases.
The military order was quickly passed down, and in an instant, the entire army of soldiers besieging the mansion had their swords drawn out from their bodies, staring at the courtyard wall with cold murderous eyes.
As long as someone dares to run out, the crossbowmen behind them will shoot immediately. Those who are lucky enough to escape the crossbows will be stabbed into a hornet's nest by horse spears, or hacked to death with horizontal knives.
"Go right in." The young man said calmly.
"Yes, General." After the guard responded, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately took out the battering ram, and dozens of people rushed towards the tall palace gate.
"Boom..."
With just this one strike, the tall mansion door fell to the ground, and a burst of thick and choking smoke suddenly erupted.
"Kill without mercy!" The young man's body was shaking a little, and he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or excitement.
Seeing the soldiers on both sides pouring in quickly, shouts of killing immediately rang out in the mansion, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead.
The shouting of killing did not last long, and soon disappeared silently, and suddenly the whole mansion returned to silence.
The firelight shone on the door of the mansion that no longer had a door, but in the eyes of the young man, it was like a bloody mouth that swallowed up the lives of hundreds of soldiers in one go.
The guard looked at the young man standing at the door wondering what he was thinking, and asked anxiously: "What should we do now? Continue to fight in?"
The young man shook his head thoughtfully, rubbed his hands together a few times involuntarily, and murmured: "Gather everyone to the door and follow me in."
"General..."
"Needless to say, I still underestimated him. I have already prepared for you, so I can kill you with one move." The young man looked up to the sky and sighed, but he didn't feel that he had lost. He still had his trump card.
Urgent footsteps rushed in from the streets on both sides, and the door of the originally tall mansion suddenly became much smaller.
"Go in." The young man said calmly with calm eyes.
"Yes, general." The guard ordered again, and more than 2,000 soldiers filed in from both sides of the door of the mansion. This time, there was no noisy sound.
The entire mansion was brightly lit, but there were not many corpses lying on the ground. Instead, in a corner of the huge garden, hundreds of soldiers were seen disarmed and squatting there in fear.
"Wang Fangyi?!" The young man walked in slowly accompanied by the guards. Instead of seeing Li Hong as expected, Wang Fangyi looked at him with a murderous look on his face, holding a horizontal knife, surrounded by guards, looking at him.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at Yumen Pass?" The young man's face suddenly turned pale!
How many people have come back with His Royal Highness, and where are they stationed? He has thoroughly studied how many people will be guarding each stationed place.
Moreover, coupled with my understanding of Li Hong, he is not the kind of person who likes to live in a heavily guarded mansion. Instead, he has always maintained his own martial arts and only believes in his own bodyguards. But why would Wang Fangyi appear here.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the general to wait here for King Liang." Wang Fangyi took a step forward, and the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers behind him were immediately raised and aimed at Li Zhong and others opposite.
On Li Zhong's side, the same soldiers raised their crossbows and pointed them at Wang Fangyi and others.
In the current situation, I am afraid that as long as the general of one side gives the order, it will immediately enter a brutal shooting scene. At that time, both sides will be unable to dodge the crossbows in a short time, and both sides will fall down in large pieces.
Li Zhong looked at Wang Fangyi quietly, his honest face still calm and composed.
Apart from the crackling sound of burning torches and the heavy breathing of soldiers due to nervousness, there was no other noise in the entire mansion.
"What about others? Although he is the prince, as the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty royal family, shouldn't he come out to greet me?" Li Zhong suddenly had a dull smile on his face.
Wang Fangyi shook his head and said: "If Prince Liang insists on not going in now, then you might as well wait a moment, and His Royal Highness will come to greet you in person soon."
After Wang Fangyi finished speaking, he looked at the guard beside Li Zhong and said coldly: "Guan Wei, if I, the Wang family of Jinyang, hadn't recommended you, where would you be today? What benefits did Wang Qiao and Wang Xiunan give you? How dare you rebel with King Liang!"
"I did not rebel. We are avenging Queen Wang! We are avenging Wang Kang and Wang Jing! Besides, I am in charge of the guards today. It is not your branch who recommended me, but Queen Wang's branch. You He's just a person who was removed from the Wang family, and with that king's name, you are aiding the evildoers!" Guan Wei glanced at Li Zhong, who was silent, and retorted.
"It is not your turn as an outsider to speak in our Wang family. Prince Liang, you should understand this situation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intention is that he does not want to see brothers killing each other, and... these soldiers are all innocent. , you can't let them risk your life because of your personal hatred," Wang Fangyi looked at the honest Li Zhong and persuaded.
"It's late. I've been planning for this day for a long time, but I don't want him to ruin it all. Let him come out. We brothers haven't seen each other for many years. As long as I can see him, I won't regret it even if I die." Li Zhong There was sincerity on his honest face.
With his honest expression, sincere tone, and sincere eyes, Wang Fangyi would have been persuaded if he didn't know his true identity.
"You sent Ashinu to contact me privately, but I didn't agree. I originally thought that this would make you give up on revenge, but I didn't expect that you are still obsessed with it now." Wang Fangyi sighed and said seriously.
"My mother treated me Li Zhong so well, and the Wang family treated me Li Zhong so well. If the Wang family hadn't saved me, I would have died under the conspiracy of the current queen. I, Li Zhong, am a son of a human being, how can I not repay such a great kindness?" ?" Li Zhong continued to rub his hands, as if he was afraid of the cold.
"The Wang family has never wanted to go against the royal family because of you, let alone build on the century-old foundation of the Wang family for you. All of this is because you relied on your sharp tongue, like a lotus flower, to deceive the king. Qiao and Wang Xiunan, the Wang family can't save you, let alone restore you." Wang Fangyi frowned when he heard the sudden rapid footsteps outside, and continued.
The sound of footsteps made Li Zhong stop talking. He could only hear the footsteps passing by the door of the house and running quickly towards the backyard.
"Do you still have reinforcements?" Wang Fangyi was shocked. He originally thought he was in charge of the guards... Yes, Wang Qiao, Wang Xiunan, and Liu Jiatai from the army have not shown up yet.
Li Zhong chuckled, his honest cheeks and proud smile were contradictory but harmonious at the same time.
"I have been studying his temperament for more than ten years, just for today. If I am not completely sure, would I come? I have not taken action in Guazhou, Liangzhou and other places because Liu Jiatai has not fully grasped it. A few times to attack the house, otherwise I would have taken action. "
Li Zhong was still rubbing his hands. In the night where the temperature was not very low, Li Zhong's behavior of rubbing his hands made Wang Fangyi think it was a sign of restlessness. Now it seems that it is a subconscious behavior and not a sign of restlessness. .
Li Zhong looked at Wang Fangyi and continued to say naively: "Since he doesn't want to come out to see me, then I have to ask reinforcements to force him out. Otherwise, my study of him in the past ten years has been in vain? Li Hong , No need to hide anymore, no matter what, you can't return to Chang'an."
Behind Wang Fangyi, Li Hong stood in front of the window, looking at Li Zhong's series of actions, and he was also extremely shocked.
When did Li Zhong become so deep in the city? The action of rubbing his hands was actually to lure him to reveal himself, or maybe he was hiding something.
"Master, what should I do?" Bai Chun saw that the number of people on her side was not dominant, and the footsteps just heading to the back door made her feel a little uneasy.
Li Hong remained calm and just looked at Li Zhong quietly. He wanted to wait a little longer to see if Li Zhong had any other plans.
