As if to confirm the truth of Li Hong's words, on the way to the Sultan's residence, Yutuqi, who had rushed over after delivering the map to Saleh, handed Li Hong a secret letter from the royal family of Dashi.
The name of the letter was sent by Saleh, but the content inside was written by Aviyeh. In addition to telling Li Hong that war with Hassan had begun, it also informed him of the movements of the Hashim family. In this way Li Hong was urged to take action as soon as possible.
Everything coincides with each other, and everything is in a tacit understanding. Whether it is Aviyeh, Hassan, Li Hong and the Hashim family, they all showed a mature politician at this time. The scheming and city government that it should have.
The four of them restrained each other like a game of chess, forcing each other to develop in a direction that is beneficial to them. In the delicate balance, the four of them were like four hopeless gamblers, with excitement and excitement, they finally revealed their secrets. reveal their true colors and use each other to gain the greatest benefit.
So when Li Hong showed up at the Sultan's mansion, the Sultan was not surprised that Li Hong, who had been staying in Dashi for nearly three months, would take the initiative to visit them for the first time at this time.
When Li Hong faced the soldiers who were waiting in the Sultan's mansion, he didn't show any surprise at all. It was as if he knew that the Sultan had already arranged the Hongmen Banquet and was waiting for his arrival.
He believed that Aviye was definitely not a good person and would hide his intention to help him assassinate the Sultan and dismantle the Hashemite family from telling the Sultan.
Obviously, the way Sudan smiled at him now, and the look with a hint of murderous intent, were enough for Li Hong to understand that Sudan was ready.
Just when Li Hong exchanged greetings with the Sultan and was surprised that Li Hong dared to come to his mansion with only a few dozen people, Awiye and Saleh also received a secret letter when they sent it to Li Hong. The content of the secret letter is very simple, with only a rather specific address.
You don’t need to guess to know that this secret letter without a name must have been written by Li Hong, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the address on this secret letter is the address of Hassan, the confidant who Aviya and Saleh want to get rid of most. Hideout.
The father and son knew clearly that this was a trap dug by Li Hong for them, just like the trap they asked Li Hong to help them get rid of the Sudan. They forced Li Hong to watch the food chaos spread everywhere. Then you have to do something, which was also used by Li Hong in the same way on their father and son.
Standing aside to watch the show for free, doing nothing but letting chaos spread in Da Shi. Obviously no one wants to be taken advantage of by that fool.
Just like Aviye, who wanted to use Li Hong's help to get rid of the two nobles who threatened their royal family, but was unwilling to pay any price and wanted Li Hong to be taken advantage of and a fool.
So no matter who they are, the four people today are involuntarily trapped in the chess game they have set up, forming a never-ending situation.
One of Li Hong and the Hashim family must be wiped out tonight. This is the bet they put their money and lives on. Whoever wins will get the greatest benefit for themselves.
The same goes for Aviyeh and Hassan. The two most powerful families in Da Shi, for the position of Da Shi monarch, have gone from secret conflicts to direct conflicts, from small-scale confidant contests to decisive battles where families control the army. In short, it is just like It is the same as the showdown between Li Hong and the Hashemite family, using the interests of the family as a bet to bet on the only throne of Dashi, and whether he will win or lose.
The sounds of fighting in the east end of the city were intertwined with the sounds of heroic weapons, making the originally peaceful night in the capital city become violent, cold-blooded, and cruel.
The sounds of fighting and screams at the west end of the city were also mixed together, as if echoing the fighting at the east end of the city, which started without warning in the Sultan's mansion.
Whether it was the fighting at the east end of the city or the fighting at the west end of the city, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the original small-scale fighting of dozens of people suddenly turned into a fighting of hundreds of people, and then again It became a war involving thousands of people.
Under the protection of his personal eunuch Qingqiu and many soldiers from the Pagoda Battalion, Yeyue slowly walked out of the gate of the Great Food City unimpeded.
Ye Yue, who stopped the carriage, slowly got off the carriage and looked back at the tall and familiar city gate. Although she could not hear the sounds of fighting in the city, she knew in her heart that this night in the great food city would be a sleepless one. night of.
The reluctance to leave the familiar food in his heart, and Li Hong's worry, gave Ye Yue Yue's beautiful eyes like a full moon a hint of helplessness and sadness. He reluctantly looked at this person who might never leave again this time. Unable to return to her homeland, the unspeakable bitterness in Yeyue's heart filled her entire heart.
Loneliness was mixed with a somewhat sad expression. Fortunately, it was covered by a black veil, but Qingqiu on the side could still feel the helpless desolation and lonely sadness from His Highness Yeyue.
"Your Highness Princess, it's time for us to set off." Qingqiu bowed and reminded Yeyue.
After Qingqiu's words disappeared, a drop of clear tears flowed out from Yeyue's beautiful eyes, slowly moistening the gauze on her face, cooling Yeyue's reluctant and worried heart.
"When will he join us?" Ye Yue looked deeply at the empty city gate. The city gate behind the city's ban should be heavily guarded, but at this moment there was no one around.
In the sentimental Yeyue's heart, it seemed as if there was no one to see her off, which made her feel even more desolate and lonely.
"According to His Highness's will, we will meet thirty miles ahead in an hour." Qingqiu bowed and replied in a low voice, then turned around to look at the sad and beautiful figure, and slowly stepped onto the carriage.
As Yeyue's figure disappeared, the entire Dashi City began to truly erupt in silence, and the chaotic battle between the east and west of the city was still going on fiercely.
Whether it was Hassan, who was in danger, or Li Hong, who was alone in the tiger's den, he had already forgotten all the previous agreements. Especially Hassan, facing Saleh's bravery and ruthlessness, was also ruthless. .
"You really won't kill me?" Sultan looked at the cold face in front of him. He knew how powerful Li Hong was when he was in the Tang Dynasty, so he ran away blindly not wanting to be chased by Li Hong in the end.
"Give me a reason to kill you?" A smile quietly appeared on Li Hong's cold face. Along with the clear blood stain on his face, there was an indescribable mysterious charm and shocking power.
"Then what do you want? If you don't kill me, Aviya will not let you go. He will also order other nobles to hunt you down on the grounds that you assassinated the Dashi noble." The Sultan said with a gloomy face, trying his best to He said in a calm tone.
"He won't let me go even if I kill you, right? Besides, Aviye won't use it in the name of assassinating a noble. This crime must be something that other nobles are happy to see. After all, help them get rid of it." A strong competitor, right?" The spear in Li Hong's hand was placed firmly on the Sultan's shoulder. The cold spear blade and the cold killing intent made the hair on the Sultan's back stand on end.
"That...that...but he won't let you go, even if you don't kill me." Sultan said incoherently when facing Li Hong, who also had a cold and coquettish look.
"So you want me to kill you? Killing you will do no good to me, but it will do harm to Dashi. At least both you and your father know that Aviye wants to get rid of you. If Hassan If you die, then the sharp sword in Aviye's hand will start to swing towards your Hashemite family... "
"What exactly do you want to do? What is your purpose? Is it just to plunge Dashi into chaos and turmoil?"
"Yes, no matter who has a wild wolf lying next to him, I believe he will not sleep well, right?" Li Hong took back his spear, but the sound of fighting was still filling his ears.
Although the Sultan's mansion was ambushed with a large number of manpower, Li Hong's personal guards plus the manpower of the Pagoda Camp were enough to cope with everything the Sultan had prepared.
Sultan smiled dejectedly, and suddenly felt sympathy for Li Hong's eyes. He sneered and said, "You let me go. Do you think Aviye will let me go tonight? And... you think you can escape." So whether you kill me or not, Aviye will not let you go tonight."
"I've known for a long time that there are no good people. Since Aviya agreed with me to take Yeyue out of Dashi, I already expected that he would hold back, but do you think he can break through the defense line of your mansion?" Li Hong smiled confidently. , then looked at the Sultan's huge mansion, and continued: "It's a pity, such a luxurious mansion, let your people evacuate, otherwise..."
Li Hong looked at the Sultan's men who rushed over, and once again put the spear blade on the Sultan's neck. Although the Sultan looked embarrassed, at this time, looking at Li Hong's confident look, he seemed to be able to escape Aviye's frame tonight. , so he didn't care that Li Hong pointed the spear at himself again in front of his men.
After getting his order, he watched his men slowly exit the mansion through the back door under the guard of Tang Dynasty soldiers, and then said to Li Hong: "Did you already think of a way out? Did you expect that Awei would die tonight?" After Ye Hui fights with you, will there be an oriole behind? "
As Li Hong's words fell, the Sultan's men who had just exited from the back door suddenly heard screams, and even the sound of crossbows could be faintly heard.
"Retreat!" Li Hong's expression changed, and he immediately ordered Lieutenant Tu Qi to lead all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and began to rush towards the main entrance of the Sultan's mansion.
"Your Highness, there is indeed no ambush at the main entrance." Yu Tuqi glanced at the Sudan who was following Li Hong and said hurriedly.
"Aviye has probably set an ambush at the back door a long time ago. He will think that he is going to exit and will only use the back door. Get ready and give the gifts you have prepared during this time to Aviye." Li Hong walked quickly He walked quickly and ordered Wei Tuqi.
Sultan couldn't help but follow Li Hong's words, his heart trembling. Inexplicably, the word "dynamite" came to his mind.
