Li Chengqian raised his hand to grab the leading man in black, tore open his face scarf, and immediately laid the halberd across his neck.
The slightly cold, blood-stained sharp blade made the leader of the man in black feel cold all over his body.
"Are you really Li Chengqian?"
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
After listening to his words, Li Chengqian said calmly: "Tell me who is the mastermind behind you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader in black laughed three times, tilted his head, and suddenly lost his breath.
Li Chengqian pinched his chin and saw foaming at his mouth.
It turns out that this man already had poison hidden in his mouth.
Presumably he was afraid of being tortured after being caught, so he chose to die directly.
At this time, the remaining men in black in the field also took the poison directly and collapsed to the ground.
Cheng Chumo and Fang Qingyun were sitting on the ground dealing with wounds on their bodies, endless doubts flashing in their eyes.
He was shocked by Li Chengqian's strength, but also felt that this matter was strange.
These thieves died as fast as they wanted. They seemed to have no desire to live at all. Compared to the people he led, their willpower was so strong.
And this further illustrates the terrifying nature of those behind the scenes.
The next morning, the group had breakfast and continued their journey.
They have arrived in Songzhou.
Because Li Chengqian could bear the long journey, it was obviously not suitable for others to keep bumping on the carriage like this.
Therefore, they decided to replenish supplies in Songzhou City.
When he arrived at the gate of Songzhou City, Li Chengqian signed in.
This time, he obtained the topographic map of the Western Region and learned about many countries in the Western Region.
We also got some modern items, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, hot pot base, chili, mutton, and beef.
So the items obtained by signing in can be obtained by anything.
This also makes Li Chengqian look forward to every day.
After a long time, the Songzhou prefect came out to meet Li Chengqian. In the eyes of the Songzhou forces, he was once the prince after all.
Now that I am staying for a few days, I will naturally be interviewed.
Then a posthouse was arranged for Li Chengqian and his party.
"I also ask Mr. Zhang to write a letter to tell His Majesty that we were ambushed on the way."
Cheng Chumo knew the importance of this matter.
After Master Zhang figured out the whole story, he immediately wrote a letter and asked his men to hurry up and send it to Chang'an.
Soon after.
Chang'an.
Tai Chi Hall.
Emperor Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were discussing matters.
According to the messenger's report just now, Li Chengqian was ambushed on the road. Except for him, all the people led by Cheng Chumo died or escaped.
In the end, it was Li Chengqian who turned the tide and took control of the situation.
"What? You said that traitor was holding a big halberd and killed so many enemies that he could no longer fight?"
Li Shimin looked at the messenger in front of him in shock.
The messenger stammered: "Yes...yes, Your Majesty, General Cheng saw this with his own eyes."
At this time, Fang Xuanling and others were all shocked.
how could it be possible.
Li Chengqian has always liked poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting. He looks weak and weak. How can he be more brave than Cheng Chumo, a man who joined the army?
There must be a mistake.
Li Shimin thought about it and realized that he would not believe it at all.
"My dear friends, Li Chengqian's methods are really exquisite, hahahaha."
"He thinks that by colluding with Cheng Chumo and creating some false limelight, he can change my mind and bring him back?"
Hear this.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all realized that this was not the case.
Too.
Who is Li Chengqian?
On weekdays, before the prince was deposed, he was used to being domineering in Chang'an, and he was a bully and a playboy.
He bullies some young girls from good families, that's how powerful he is.
But to say that fighting with the enemy is simply not in line with him.
Fang Xuanling sighed, fortunately his daughter was not dead. If not for the early years, he and His Majesty had an agreement that if he had a daughter in the future, she would marry his eldest son Li Chengqian.
If not, how could he be willing to let his daughter accompany Li Chengqian to the Western Regions?
This was also because he was afraid of attracting public attention. Li Chengqian didn't know about this, but Fang Xuanling and Fang Qingyun both knew about it.
"check!"
"Find out who wants to assassinate Li Chengqian!"
"Although this traitor has killed someone, I am the only one qualified to kill him."
Li Shimin had a cold look in his eyes and immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
"As you command!"
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, the three ministers of the court, hurriedly left Tai Chi Hall and sent people to investigate the matter.
At this time, Li Shimin was the only one in Nuo Da's Tai Chi Hall.
When he thought of Li Chengqian, he felt extremely unhappy. How could the Crown Prince, who was once in line with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, seem to have become a different person these days.
That day, when he was deposed as the crown prince, the traitor didn't even have any fear, let alone kneel down to plead for mercy.
Such a son made him feel extremely strange.
Originally, he thought that within ten days, the boy would endure many hardships on the westward journey.
He would write to himself.
Then, he would go along with the situation, scold him a few words, and then call him back.
After a few years, the crown prince position will still be his.
how……
Have things developed into this situation?
That traitor actually wants to be exiled...
OK.
Have backbone.
I want to see how long you can hold on.
snort.
As long as you don't write to me and beg me, you can see if I can call you back.
…
Songzhou City, Post House.
Li Chengqian was in the room, looking at the map of the Western Regions on the table. His eyes saw a country five hundred miles south of Songzhou City, Tuyuhun.
This is Tuyuhun.
During the Zhenguan period, they invaded the border areas many times and plundered the population and food of the border residents of the Tang Dynasty.
Tuyuhun is a small country, with a total of about 400,000 soldiers and civilians.
According to his inquiries during these days.
Fu Yun's army defeated the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers in Songzhou area. They retreated repeatedly and blocked the city gates, not daring to fight.
It's almost November now, and the west is already in a cold period. The weather is freezing. Every time this season comes, the nomads need a lot of food to survive the winter.
"First capture Tuyuhun, then go out of Yumen Pass and capture the thirty-six kingdoms, and then conquer the Western Turks and unify the Western Regions."
This is Li Chengqian's preliminary strategic plan.
In the early stage, with his own strength, it was like carrying an army.
Just conquer Tuyuhun and recover Fuyun. In this case, he will have an army to command.
The second day.
Li Chengqian left Songzhou City alone.
He was going to conquer Tuyuhun and take the royal city of Tuyuhun.
Fuqi is the royal city of Tuyuhun.
"System, sign in."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the top-level red rabbit horse. This horse can travel five thousand miles a day, and its jumping, speed, strength, and dodge are all at full level."
"Summon?"
When Li Chengqian heard this, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Summon."
