Jianghu people, the most important thing is face.
After Wang Fang shouted something behind him, he immediately took out his saber and walked toward the dark place where the light could not reflect it.
Li Chengqian warned: "Remember to keep them alive. I can still use these people if I keep them."
"I understand, Your Highness..."
Listen to the questions and answers of the master and servant.
Zhang Naikuan next to him had complicated eyes.
In the blink of an eye.
Wang Fang had already arrived at the hiding place of the assassins.
But because it was too dark.
Wang Fang couldn't see the other party at all.
But even though his eyes could not see it, his mouth was not idle.
"Bold maniac."
"Under such circumstances, you dare to come to the place where the prince of the dynasty stayed to assassinate you, why don't you just surrender and arrest him!"
"If you have performed meritorious services, I can also intercede for you."
"But if you are still stubbornly resisting, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
It was at the moment when his voice fell.
An assassin who couldn't hold himself back jumped out: "I heard you fart!"
The assassin held a steel knife and pointed it directly at Wang Fang's chest.
However.
Faced with this situation, Wang Fang didn't panic at all.
When the blade of the steel knife was about to touch his face, he moved slightly.
His body seemed to have a device that repels iron.
The blade of the knife grazed his nose.
But Wang Fang was not idle.
While avoiding the blade, he kicked him sideways.
Bang!
I don't know where this kick hit the assassin.
The assassin's huge figure flew out instantly and fell heavily to the ground.
The two Six Rate members who came up from behind immediately pressed him to the ground.
Wang Fang didn't even look behind her.
His eyes were fixed on the darkness in front of him, and he suddenly shouted: "Since you don't want to live, then I will help you!"
Between the electric light and flint.
A white light flashed like a bolt, and another assassin jumped out.
While the assassin was still in the air, the blade was already heading straight for Wang Fang's neck.
this time.
Wang Fang didn't care much about it and tried to parry with his sword.
Bang!
A harsh golden roar suddenly exploded.
Wang Fang took two steps back, looked at the man in black in front of her, waved her arms and said, "It's so powerful."
"snort."
The man in black snorted coldly, and rushed towards Wang Fang again with his knife, pointing directly at Wang Fang's neck.
This assassin is obviously much more powerful than the one just now.
Li Dao and Wang Fang fought together, but there was no winner after four or five rounds.
He looked around the field.
Then he looked at Li Chengqian, who had a calm face and was in the mood to taste wine.
Zhang Naikuan's expression became even more complicated.
Sometimes I have to say that Li Chengqian does have an indescribable charm.
People can't help but admire him and want to follow him.
Especially now.
Facing the assassin, his expression remained unchanged and calm.
He had only seen this calm and calm posture in Li Shimin back then.
It seemed that he had sensed his changes.
Li Chengqian slowly spoke: "Just say what you want to say, don't hold it back."
"I didn't want to say anything."
"It's just that His Highness's posture reminds me of many years ago..."
Zhang Naikuan looked forward with deep eyes.
I remember that in July of that year, Li Shimin led all armies to attack Wang Shichong in Luoyi.
At that time, their army was stationed in Guzhou.
Wang Shichong led 30,000 elite troops to confront him in Cijian.
Li Shimin personally led Cheng Yaojin and five thousand Qingqi to Wang Shichu's camp to call for formation.
Who would have thought that Wang Shichong did not talk about martial ethics and directly led the army to attack.
At that time, Li Shimin brought very few cavalry and was outnumbered.
In just a blink of an eye, Li Shimin was trapped in a tight siege, and the soldiers on both sides panicked.
However, Li Shimin remained calm in the face of danger and ordered Cheng Yaojin to lead his troops to break out of the encirclement and return to camp.
He led Yuchi Jingde and more than 200 light cavalry behind to cut off the rear for everyone.
At that time, Wang Shichong had a brave general named Shan Xiongxin under his command.
When he saw Li Shimin, Shan Xiongxin immediately led his cavalry to kill him.
There is no need to describe in words how brave Shan Xiongxin is.
Killing left and right in the crowd is like entering a deserted place.
If Yuchi Jingde hadn't rescued him immediately, Li Shimin would have been captured alive by him.
But even so, Li Shimin still did not retreat.
In the chaos of the army, Li Shimin opened his bow and arrows and shot the enemies left and right.
At that time, Li Shimin was not the emperor he is now, but a battle-hardened general.
His archery skills are so superb that few people in the world can match him.
Wherever the arrow passed, the enemy fell down.
Moreover, Wang Shichong's general Yan Qi was shot off his horse by Li Shimin.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin led his troops to attack and defeated Wang Shichong's troops in one fell swoop.
After that, Wang Shichong could only move his troops from Cijian back to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Li Shimin pursued the city, occupied Longmen, surrounded the river, and cut off the enemy's grain transportation channels. At the same time, he also sent Huang Junhan to disembark from the Xiaoshui River overnight to sneak attack Luoyang City, and captured all the territory south of the Yellow River in one fell swoop.
In September, Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong again, beheaded three thousand people, and captured Wang Shichong's general Chen Zhilue.
Wang Shichong had tens of thousands of elites under his command, but only he himself escaped.
The rest were all captured and returned to Tangying.
At that time, Zhang Naikuan was leading Li Shimin's horse.
His current power also came from that battle.
"I saw His Highness."
"It's like seeing the original His Majesty."
Zhang Naikuan said: "The same composure, the same calmness in the face of danger."
When Li Chengqian heard this, he shrugged and said, "Flattering me won't save you."
"This is not flattery, this is the truth."
Zhang Naikuan's lips twitched: "Perhaps Your Highness can regard this as an old soldier's evaluation of Your Highness."
"Haha, old pawn..."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled: "You, Mr. Zhang, have indeed had great times."
"It's just a pity that it has turned out like this now."
Li Chengqian looked back at Zhang Naikuan and said, "Do you feel any regret for your actions?"
"I never regret anything I do."
Zhang Naikuan met Li Chengqian's eyes and said, "Besides, I have no choice but to take this path."
"After all, the word "old pawn" is not worth much..."
Li Chengqian turned around and looked at him blankly.
Zhang Naikuan said slowly: "At the beginning, more than 100,000 of us followed His Majesty out of Liangzhou."
"The one who comes back alive in the end is not one out of ten."
"But I'm afraid your Highness doesn't know how many of these people died of cold and hunger."
Zhang Naikuan pursed his lips and said, "I am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of fighting to the death for the Tang Dynasty."
"But, I don't want to freeze to death or starve to death like that."
"But in this world of cannibalism, if you don't want to die, you have to eat people."
"So, there's nothing wrong with me saying that I was forced to do nothing."
Zhang Naikuan looked at Li Chengqian and said calmly: "But if His Highness thinks I am wrong, then I am wrong."
"But I also hope that Your Highness can understand that I just want to live, that's all."
