Li Hong was like an angry tiger. After hearing Ge Xiyuan's words, after a moment of sluggishness, he suddenly burst out and roared inexplicably: "Idiot! A bunch of idiots! The Tang Dynasty wants you ministers. What’s the use! How stupid!”
"Your Highness... Chen Chenchen and Lord Ge Xiyuan also just learned about it." This is the second time Shi Zangjie has seen His Highness the Crown Prince angry.
The first time was at the city gate of Anshi, when he drew a knife in anger and tried to cut off Ge Xiyuan's neck. Although he held back later, it was the first time that he and Ge Xiyuan saw His Highness the Crown Prince get angry, and because That time, the two of them almost lost their lives.
This time, it was the second time that Shi Zangjie saw His Royal Highness the Prince getting angry. For a moment, after he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, as if the person eating food on his neck was about to fall to the ground.
"Your Highness, I am guilty. I have not fulfilled my duty as a minister. However, after hearing the news, I and Shi Zangzheng came to tell you immediately." Ge Xiyuan also fell on the ground and stood in front of Goguryeo. In the eyes of the courtiers and maids, the arrogant courtier was like a cooked shrimp, lying on the ground begging for mercy.
"Tell me in detail, what's going on!" Li Hong stared around with a tiger's eyes that seemed to be murderous. Suddenly, the rows of Goguryeo palace maids, eunuchs and courtiers knelt down one by one. On the ground, no one dared to raise his head and look here again.
"Back to Your Majesty, after you left, I was about to discuss things with Your Majesty, but the King of Goguryeo suddenly walked in with a hearty laugh. After entering, he saluted His Majesty, and then from a few words, I learned that last night Taking advantage of the arrival of the grain and grass army, His Majesty ordered Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan to lead Tang soldiers and Goguryeo soldiers to Silla and Baekje overnight. "Ge Xiyuan was still kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground, not daring to get up, in pain. said.
Li Hong smiled instead of being angry. He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. It was difficult to guard against thieves day and night. This father Long was really cheating... uh, he was trying to trick a son to death!
And that Zhang Lushui was obviously prepared intentionally by Gao Zang, probably hoping to use a beauty trap to persuade his father to send troops as soon as possible!
But what did Huaji do? Didn't he promise himself that Father Long and Zhang Lushui haven't developed a relationship like that in bed yet? Could it be that Father Long agreed to send troops before he went to bed
It can be heard from the tone of Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie that the decision to send troops to aid Goguryeo was obviously concealed from even Ge Xiyuan, Shi Zangjie and other civil servants. I am afraid that only Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan were notified. Bar.
"You two, get up and follow me to meet His Majesty." Li Hong's voice was cold, with a hint of anger and murderous intent.
Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie stood up in a hurry, and when His Highness did not pursue them, they began to guess, who was the unlucky one this time? Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan? That was sent out by His Majesty Chrysostom.
But the two of them followed His Highness the Crown Prince, looking at the pace of the dragon and the tiger's steps, and the impetuous questioning of guilt, and felt waves of uneasiness in their hearts. His Highness would not rush into it and directly question His Majesty, right? Although this possibility is very high, in front of foreign countries, wouldn't this be disrespectful to the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!
Looking at the tall back of His Highness the Crown Prince, the two of them had no choice but to follow behind him cautiously. At this moment, it was at the cusp of the storm, and they did not dare to speak easily to make His Highness unhappy.
The entrance to the palace of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not only guarded by the Jinwu Guards of the Tang Dynasty, but also several soldiers from Goguryeo stood guard at the door. The palace door behind the soldiers was tightly closed at the moment. Obviously, looking at this posture, It is not easy for anyone to enter.
"Your Highness, please stay..." Hua Ji saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking towards him in a cold and furious manner, and he knew something was wrong!
But before he finished speaking, Li Hong kicked him to the side. His kick was much stronger than when His Highness the Crown Prince kicked him before, but he didn't know how much more force he used.
The whole person flew backwards in a straight line and almost hit the palace gate behind him.
The Jinwu guards of the Tang Dynasty who were standing on one side did not even dare to move when they saw His Highness the Crown Prince's imposing manner. Let alone them, looking at His Majesty's personal eunuch Hua Ji, he also showed no mercy this time. The face was kicked straight away!
Jin Wuwei looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who continued to move forward without slowing down his pace, and couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart, what happened to His Highness the Crown Prince? Why are you so angry
During the hesitation, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was approaching them and the Goguryeo soldiers, he had to slowly retreat. If he could not afford to offend them, he had to expose the door behind him that His Majesty had ordered that no one could break through by force. come out.
But the fact that the Jinwu Guards knew the current affairs did not mean that those Goguryeo soldiers also knew the current affairs. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was about to move forward, he immediately stretched out his arm to block Li Hong and said in blunt Tang dialect: " No one can enter."
Li Hong's cold eyes slowly looked at the soldier, and he slowly said: "Whether you understand or not, please take off your dog's paws."
Facing Li Hong's cold expression, the soldier involuntarily took two steps back, but his raised hand was still in front of Li Hong, and he said stiffly again: "No one is allowed in."
boom!
Even harder than Huaji's kick, the Goguryeo soldier felt as if his chest was hit by a huge stone. His whole body flew out immediately, and then there was another bang, and the wood behind him was hit by his body. The pillars seemed to be shaking, and the soldier was lying on the ground unconscious.
"brush… ."
When the other Goguryeo soldiers saw their leader being kicked unconscious, they immediately drew out the sharp long knives in their hands.
The Jinwu Guards soldiers saw that the Goguryeo soldiers dared to attack His Royal Highness with swords, so they quickly drew out their swords and quickly placed them in front of Li Hong. The faces of the dozen or so Jinwu Guards soldiers suddenly turned cold, and a wave of The bloodthirsty momentum burst out instantly.
Li Hong glanced at the scene in front of him and said calmly: "Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy."
The Jinwu guards saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was determined to break in, but at this time they had to take care of the possibility of these Goguryeo soldiers stabbing His Highness, so they had to watch helplessly as Li Hong took away the horizontal sword from one of the Jinwu guards. Push open the palace door and walk in.
Seeing that Li Hong had pushed open the gate, the Goguryeo soldiers glanced at each other instantly. In the flash of lightning, the two soldiers immediately slashed at Li Hong who was about to enter the gate.
"Unbridled!" Li Hong's sword was faster than his voice, and the second word just blurted out from his mouth. The two Goguryeo soldiers who rushed towards him were already looking at Li Hong in shock, and as soon as the dark red blood marks on their necks began to slowly Expanded, the two Goguryeo soldiers slowly fell down, without making a sound before they died.
Seeing this, other Goguryeo soldiers were about to pounce together, but they were instantly subdued by the Jinwu Guards who had been vigilant for a long time. Every Goguryeo soldier either had a horizontal knife on his neck, or was severely wounded on his heart or other places. Tang Jinwu's guard's horizontal sword reached it.
One by one, like clay figures, they stood motionless and could only watch helplessly as His Royal Highness Li Hong, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, slowly walked into the palace.
Li Hong carried the horizontal sword he had just snatched from Jin Wuwei's hand and walked slowly towards the depths of the palace. The closer he got to the reception area, the clearer the music sounded, but in Li Hong's ears, it was full of Full of irony!
Several civil servants from Tang Dynasty and civil servants from Goguryeo were in the hall. His father Li Zhi and the King of Goguryeo sat side by side at the top, with several ministers from each side on both sides.
His eyes swept over, and he saw that the beautiful woman named Zhang Lushui, with a face as beautiful as a fairy, was in the arms of Father Long, eager to welcome her but also shy. She held the wine glass in her hand, always waiting for Li Zhi to reach out for it. liquor.
Gaozang, the King of Goguryeo, was sitting behind the table, like a Maitreya Buddha. His fat and fair face was filled with a relaxed smile. He did not know what he was saying to Li Zhi under the translation of the speaker.
"Your Highness...?" A Tang Dynasty official turned his head and saw His Royal Highness Li Hong, the Crown Prince, walking in slowly with a cold expression and a horizontal sword in his hand.
And those eyes, which were colder and more ruthless than ice, looked past the other courtiers and pointed directly at the King of Goguryeo, Gozo, like a sharp blade.
After the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty finished speaking, Li Zhi and Gao Zang, who were chatting and laughing, also noticed Li Hong's arrival, and both of them looked startled.
But at this time, the smile on the face of Goguryeo King Gaozang was a little stiff. Facing Li Hong's cold eyes, he felt guilty and lowered his head involuntarily.
Although Li Zhi knew what he had done, the royal city of Goguryeo was still safe, but he did not pay attention to the cold expression of Prince Li Hong.
With one hand still wrapped around the slender and tight waist of Lv Shui, he looked at Li Hong who walked in with a bad expression, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Hong'er? Could it be that the Silla and Baekje coalition forces are coming?"
This was obviously a joke, but unexpectedly, Prince Li Hong replied coldly: "That will happen sooner or later. If my estimate is correct, it will only take a few hours."
Li Hong answered what his father Long said, but his eyes never left Goguryeo King Gaozang at all, as if he wanted to see through everything about this man. His eyes made people shudder, looking straight at Gaozang, and the person was also entering the main body. Behind the hall, his pace did not slow down and he continued to walk towards Gao Zang.
Li Zhi glanced at Gaozang, the somewhat frightened King of Goguryeo, and then at the horizontal sword Li Hong held in his hand. He couldn't help but frowned in displeasure, and said softly: "Li Hong, broke into my palace with weapons." How dignified!”
"brush!"
As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Hong had already approached King Gaozang of Goguryeo. The horizontal sword in his hand was like lightning. Between the exclamations of everyone and the light and shadow left in their eyes, the horizontal sword in the hand of His Highness the Crown Prince was seen. , actually stuck tightly to the neck of Goguryeo King Gaozang.
