As the arrows shot into the tea shop, torches were also lit outside at the same time. Suddenly, the entire outside of the tea shop was brightly lit, and large snowflakes as white as goose feathers, under the illumination of the torches, looked graceful in front of people's eyes. , continues to fall clearly.
Li Xian's face was pale, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened. He was leaning against the wall and trembling.
Li Hong patted Li Xian's shoulder and motioned for him to stand still here, then pointed at Li Zhe and motioned for him to stand against the wall as well. Then he turned to Yu Tuqi at the door and said, "Don't tell me. You came here alone.”
"Returning to your highness, it is indeed the general who came here alone. The other generals did not dare to bring him over for fear of delaying the safety of King Yin." Yu Tuqi said calmly.
"Okay, you can only be the captain of the Guards, that's all." Li Hong put the knife on Pei Yi's shoulder and asked, "Do you have any last words?"
"Your Highness, you won't survive if you kill me."
"I'm not afraid to tell you. Your father should be dying at this time. You don't have to worry about it. I will never be held hostage by others to negotiate terms. Let me lend you my head!"
As Li Hong's words fell, Xue Zhongzhang felt his face suddenly heat up, and the smell of blood suddenly filled the tip of his nose.
Turning around, he saw that Pei Yi, who was standing next to him, was slowly falling to the ground. The blood spurting out from his neck suddenly covered the tables around him.
Li Hong held Pei Yi's head in his hand, and the sticky blood was like a bloody door curtain. Long strips of blood like spider threads were dripping down to the ground. Pei Yi's eyes were still wide open, and he would not stop until he died. I can believe that His Highness the Crown Prince was so bold and cut off his own head before he could say anything else.
Although Xue Zhongzhang was a prison guard general, facing such a sudden situation, he was so frightened that his legs weakened and he almost fell to the ground.
Li Xian and Li Zhe, who were leaning against the wall, screamed in surprise when they saw blood coming out of Pei Yi's neck. Then they looked at the gloomy-faced emperor holding Pei Yi's head like Shura's living imperial brother with fear. Li Hong.
At this moment, the bloody image of Li Hong's killing completely shocked Li Xian and Li Zhe from the bottom of their hearts. Even now, they can't believe that they were still sitting there drinking tea with them alive, and just now they were still alive. Pei Yi, who was talking to Li Hong, had his head chopped off by Li Hong in the blink of an eye and held in his hand.
Li Hong held Pei Yi's bloody head in his hand, glanced at the window that had been shot through by the arrow just now, threw Pei Yi's head out of the window with one hand, and said coldly: "I don't care what you want to do! I don't care. I won't let you succeed! For the sake of our common ancestors, I have been tolerant of you in these years! But you have repeatedly harmed the interests of Datang for the sake of others and acted recklessly in Chang'an and Luoyang. Sowing dissension between clans! You are no longer worthy of being a member of the royal family!"
"Li Xian, this is your best opportunity. As long as you take Li Zhe out, I promise not to hurt you. My Li family should be inhabited by people with kind hearts, not by someone who only knows how to fight." , in the hands of the murderous executioner, with your ability, you are fully qualified for the position of Prince of the East Palace. My aunt promises that no one will know the truth about what happened tonight. Pei Yi is dead, and even Xue Zhongzhang who comes inside cannot escape the executioner. As long as he dies, no one will know what happened tonight!" Princess Wencheng's voice drifted in from the broken window along with the snowflakes.
"Do you think that with just a few words of yours, you can decide who will be the heir to the royal family? The royal family has tolerated you, the princess of the clan, for many years, just for the sake of the Tubo people. Do you think that with just a few words of yours, you can decide who will be the heir to the royal family? We brothers are killing each other!”
"You don't know if you can kill each other? Have you forgotten about Changmingfang a few days ago? Li Xian, do you think he got rid of Pei Yan and warned Fang Xianzhong to protect you? You are wrong, he He wants to cut off your wings so that you can't compete with him. He only thinks about himself and never thinks about others. How many people did he kill in Tubo? Why wasn't he just to stabilize his crown prince? position, and thus committed a heinous crime! Can such a person become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Our Tang Dynasty does not need a faint king, let alone a tyrant! Only you, Li Xian, is the perfect candidate for the throne of the Tang Dynasty!"
Princess Wencheng's words were very tempting. In Li Xian's ears, it was difficult for Li Xian not to be tempted. Li Xian's face changed back and forth under the firelight, and he was struggling in his heart whether to obey Wen Cheng's words and go out.
But what should Li Zhe do? Li Zhe knew everything about what happened tonight. If Li Hong was killed tonight according to Princess Wencheng's wishes, although no one knew what happened tonight, Li Zhe knew, would he tell his father what happened? Mother's report
At that time, wouldn't it be true that in the end, it was Li Zhe who really benefited, not Li Xian
"Lao Liu, don't listen to her nonsense. You can't hide this matter. Sooner or later, your father and mother will know about it. What's more... you have forgotten that you mobilized the soldiers of Futu Camp with the token. At that time, my father asked my mother, how can you justify yourself? Lao Wu is dead, but Bai Chun and others are still alive... Oops."
"Who the hell told you that I was dead? Am I going to die that easily? Since I dared to bring you two here, didn't I know how to keep a backup plan? Or do you think that even if I die, they can come back from the west unharmed? Go out? Do you think they are fools at Futu Camp?" Li Hong picked up a teacup and threw it at Li Zhe, and then a cold arrow shot in from the window, and its target It was also directed at Li Hong.
Soon after, Li Hong had no time to retract the hand that threw the tea cup, but the arrow had already flown in. Before he could dodge, Li Hong had to push Xue Zhongzhang with his other hand holding the horizontal knife. , the arrow that was shooting rapidly was touched by Xue Zhongzhang's arm, and with a trace of his sleeve and blood, it instantly deflected and hit the coffee table next to him.
"Lao Wu, can we get out alive?" Li Xian asked as he watched Li Hong narrowly avoid the arrow. He didn't know whether he was disappointed or lucky, but he looked at Li Hong.
"Unless you want to spend the New Year here, you can go out." Li Hong patted Xue Zhongzhang with his knife and motioned him to go to the window.
Wei Tuqi was guarding the door of the tea shop. He didn't know when he had already held a heavy sniper crossbow in his hand. He was hiding in the corner, searching for the snowy night outside.
"Li Xian, do you think what he said is credible? If he had the ability to come out, he wouldn't be hiding in it all the time. Don't believe his lies anymore."
"Wencheng, if I don't go to the banquet alone, will you come out? If I don't move the pagoda camp into the city, do you think I'm arrogant enough to dare to come here alone? I still don't know what's going on. You really How stupid!" Li Hong said hiding behind Xue Zhongzhang.
These words had different tastes in the ears of Li Xian and Wen Cheng. Li Xian was not sure whether Li Hong's words were true or false. On the way to mobilize his troops, he was confused and confused by him. He didn't know. What on earth does Lao Wu want to do
But Princess Wencheng smiled disdainfully. If he could have guessed, Yu Tuqi would not be the only one here.
"Li Hong, it's okay for you to deceive Li Xian with your words, but you want to deceive me? It's better to save it. You really did everything possible, but you missed my appearance. You didn't know when I left Luoyang. You came back, and you didn’t even know that Wei Tuan’er was given to your mother by me! You just guessed that I was behind all this, but it was too late!” Wen Cheng’s voice sounded to Li Hong! Very harsh.
Looking at Li Xian's questioning eyes, Li Hong shrugged: "She's right. Although I had doubts about why Wei Tuan'er came to the East Palace to tell me that Lao Ba was lost, I never understood why Wei Tuan'er was Son, she is the personal maid of the queen mother, and it is unlikely that she would cooperate with outsiders to deceive me. Plus, her thoughts are always on Pei Yan, so I left her out. "
"You...doesn't that mean we have to spend the New Year's Day here?" Li Zhe spoke unabashedly and muttered like a deflated ball.
"Shut up!" Li Xian angrily scolded Li Zhe on the other side of the window, and then stared closely at Li Hong's eyes. He was wondering whether Li Hong's words were true or false!
Li Hong confessed his miscalculation in this way. Was it really a miscalculation, or was it just to lure out Princess Wencheng and then lure him out to join forces with Wencheng, so that he could catch them all again
If it's the former, and he really made a miscalculation, then as long as he goes out and kills Li Zhe together with Princess Wencheng, most of the truth about everything tonight can be concealed, at least the main key truths can be concealed.
As for mobilizing the Futu Camp and appearing in Prince Pu's Mansion, you can find a suitable reason. Just explain that you escaped alone, while Li Hong and Li Zhe were murdered by Pei Yi and Xue Zhongzhang!
It can even be said that Princess Wencheng happened to be in the West Market and saved him. In this way, his father and mother would naturally not doubt him, and he could easily live in the East Palace and enjoy everything in the East Palace. Even the beauty Bai Chun is his own!
Thinking of this, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but start beating fast. He seemed to have seen his father's edict naming him the prince of the Tang Dynasty waving to him, and he seemed to have seen Bai Chun standing at the door of Prince Pu's Mansion. , the scene that welcomes his arrival.
Even Taiyi City and so on will be in his possession!
"Lao Liu, you are not really persuaded by Wen Cheng, are you? He is a femme fatale. Lao Wu lost to him this time. If you cooperate with her, you will be sold by her and you won't even know it. ?" Li Zhe looked at Li Xian's expression and then looked at Li Hong, who looked solemn, and said anxiously.
