As Li Zhu's body fell backward, Zhao Tao withdrew Mo Xie's sword. The sword seemed to be pulled out by him without any hindrance, and not even a drop of blood was left on the sword.
Zhao Tong moved his wrist and the sword slipped into his sleeve, as if it had never appeared before.
His face was paler than before, his body retreated, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Huang Gu ran over at this time, supported Zhao Tong, and asked anxiously: "How is the prince?"
Zhao Tong shook his head: "Send me back home!"
One day later, the fighting in Luzhou City was over.
The city was in a mess, and the Song army cleaned up the battlefield, gathered the surrendered troops, and appeased the people.
Zhao Tong was lying in the room, with Huang Gu and Ouyang Bei guarding the door.
This time he was really injured, but it was still worth it if he could kill a grandmaster.
People like Li Zhu are too dangerous. If you let him go, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. No one can guard against the assassination of a grandmaster day and night, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat in the days to come.
Li Zhu is not an ordinary grandmaster. Among the few grandmasters in the world, Li Zhu is one of the best.
Based on his martial arts skills alone, he was indeed no match for Li Zhu, but he had two things to rely on if he dared to go up and compete with him.
One is that he has a variety of magical movements. With this kind of movement, he can at least have a certain chance of escaping and not dying.
One is Mo Xie Jian, who wants to plot against Li Zhu. Mo Xie Jian is very useful.
He didn't know about Gan Jiang, nor had he seen it before, but Mo Xie's sharpness was not comparable to some of the so-called swords in the world that could cut iron like clay.
Swords before the Warring States period were made from different materials than swords made after the Warring States period. Some special treasures were added to them. These treasures have been hard to see since the Warring States period. Therefore, no matter how refined the swords of later generations are, they cannot be compared with those of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or even more. Compared with those famous swords before.
Using Moye Sword to plot against Li Zhu, even if Li Zhu was a master, he would definitely not be able to predict it. After all, in today's world, ancient famous swords are not only rare, but are not seen at all.
Moreover, Li Zhu was too confident in his life-threatening swordsmanship and Wuwu Sword, but Li Zhu did have such qualifications, but he was unlucky enough to meet Zhao Tong.
With one sword, success is accomplished with one sword.
It's just that Zhao Tong will never let this kind of thing spread out, whether it is the court or the world.
He gave everyone in the hall a hush-hush order and just assumed that Li Zhu died in the siege and chaos, not even to Zong Ze.
Killing the fake Prime Minister of Huai is a great achievement. This credit belongs to everyone. No one will take the credit and lose their lives by talking too much.
Zhao Tong was lying on the couch now, feeling weak all over.
In fact, in the battle with Li Zhu, both his energy and strength were almost exhausted.
Especially the last sword, where all the cards were revealed, made him feel a sense of emptiness in his heart.
Everything outside was left to Zong Ze. Wang Qing had already been captured by this time, and almost none of Duan Er and the others had escaped. After the war was over, they built a prison car and escorted them to the capital together.
Zhao Tong tilted his head and glanced at the medicine bowl beside the couch, with a hint of bitterness on his face.
The best doctor in the city was invited to come over, prescribed a prescription, and took some medicine. It sounded like there was nothing wrong with Zhao Tong. They were all medicines for strengthening his strength, but it was too unpleasant to drink these things together.
He glanced at the sky and saw that it was already noon. He wanted to sit up and lean back, but his whole body ached and he didn't have any strength.
Just as he was sighing, Huang Gu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Shangguan is here."
Zhao Tong's expression changed when he heard this on the couch, it was Liyana who came over.
Originally, Liyanazha didn't know what to think and went to live temporarily in the Iron Buddha Temple, but after Yao Pingzhong passed the news of his injury, Liyanazha moved back.
It's just that her identity is too sensitive to be revealed to the outside world, so she still calls her Shangguan Pianxiang.
Lianaza was here to deliver the medicine. The previous bowl was boiled in the yard next door, and then she delivered it herself.
Zhao Tong didn't know how Huang Gu, Yao Pingzhong, and Liana Zha were introduced by Zongze. In short, Zongze turned around and told him that all the soldiers in the army were men, with rough hands and feet. He was afraid that he couldn't make the soup, so it was better to trouble General Shangguan. Bring it over after it's cooked.
Zhe Kecun also said that the prince was injured and needed someone to take care of him. It was inconvenient for a man, but his wife was more careful.
Zhao Tong wondered in his heart, when did it become inconvenient for men, but it was convenient for women?
In short, Zhao Tong felt that these people must have another face behind them, and those serious appearances were all for him to see. He could even imagine how these people might add fuel to the fire and talk behind their backs.
But he was helpless at the moment, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak, so why did he want to meet them in the same way?
Liyana came in, and sure enough she was holding a medicine bowl in her hand. She was extremely beautiful and gorgeous. Like hibiscus emerging from the water, the ice is clear and jade is moist, and it is like spring flowers blooming in the snow, and beautiful jade covered with frost.
Seeing that she had returned to her original appearance, Zhao Tong looked at her again and again, and finally his eyes fell on the medicine bowl, and he turned over unhappily.
Liyanaza came to the couch and saw him turning over with his back turned. The corners of his mouth curled up and she said, "General Li, it's time to take the medicine!"
Zhao Tong was silent. In fact, he just needed to rest for his injury, but it would be faster to take medicine, and he didn't want to lie down all the time. After all, although Wang Qing had caught him, there were still a few states that had not been recovered, so the important matter was not over yet.
Seeing that he was silent, Liyanaza put the medicine bowl on the small table in front of the couch and said, "General Li, do you want me to help you up?"
Zhao Tong still didn't speak. What did he do when he got up? Get up and take medicine?
Liyana said: "General Li, don't you want to hurry up? Then you can recover those states, make a triumphant return to the army, return to the court and be promoted to a noble rank, with unlimited glory, and then go back to your hometown to see..."
Zhao Tong said: "What are you going to see?"
Liana smiled and said: "General Li, don't you want to return to Tokyo as soon as possible? After all, we have been away for a long time."
Zhao Tong sneered and said: "My husband has ambitions all over the world. He is as close to his neighbor as he is thousands of miles away. Nothing is the same."
Liyana blinked her bright eyes and said: "Okay, okay, General Li is knowledgeable and talented, and everything he said is right."
Zhao Tong snorted: "Help me up."
Liyanaza helped him up and handed the medicine bowl over. Zhao Tao closed his eyes and drank it in one sip. Then he said with an ugly expression: "Why did General Shangguan go to Iron Buddha Temple before?"
Liyana said: "They always have different identities. I don't want to see your subordinates. Although they may be close to you, they are always full of people and talk about different things. I'm afraid they will bring you trouble."
Zhao Tong was speechless after hearing this. The prince of the Song Dynasty made friends with the Uighur princess, and both of them had soldiers. This was not an ordinary event.
Once this kind of thing spreads out, not to mention what the Manchu Civil and Military Council will think, I am afraid that the Dao Lord and Emperor will not wait for these ministers to report impeachment, and their own family will be unable to sit still!
Even if Emperor Daojun believed in him again, he would not tolerate such a thing happening. The prince befriended the princess of Fan Kingdom. This country was still somewhat hostile to the Song Dynasty. The princess still had soldiers in her hands. Did she want to rebel against heaven?
Reducing officials and dismissing them is a minor matter, I'm afraid it's not necessary to imprison them first.
Zhao Tong thought for a moment and said, "Why are you back?"
Liyana looked at him with piercing eyes, her cheeks were slightly red, and said: "I..."
