The uncle looked at her with tears in his eyes. After a long while, he finally nodded: "Then check it out!"
Chapter 125
Li Shimin took Xiao Mingze and dozens of brothers and traveled all night to Dezhou. They arrived outside the city of Dezhou in the evening and wanted to enter the city, but they were blocked by others.
The city gate was blocked by an iron fence, making it impossible for horses to pass through smoothly. At the same time, guards swarmed out, "What are you doing?!"
When Li Shimin saw this, he knew something had changed. His heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm: "I am the governor of Dezhou appointed by His Royal Highness the King of Wei. Today I came to take office with a group of retinues. Why do you stop me?"
While talking, he made a gesture without revealing any trace, indicating to the followers to be alert.
At the same time, he turned his face slightly towards Xiao Mingze and motioned to her the flag on the tower.
Xiao Mingze was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what he was doing.
At that time, all the eyes of the city gate guard were focused on Li Shimin. She took advantage of others' unpreparedness, quietly reached into her bag, and soaked the handkerchief she carried with her with a small half bottle of hair oil.
The leading guard over there looked them up and down, and sneered: "What a joke, you just said you are the governor of Texas? I look at you like a group of strong men, pretending to be here." A long history!”
After saying that, he waved his hand suddenly: "Come here, why don't you take down these gangsters?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several groups of soldiers came out of the inner city like a swarm of bees coming out of their nest. There were about a few hundred people, either with knives in their hands or with bows and arrows. It was obvious that they had already Waiting here.
Li Shimin shouted: "Array!"
After hearing the news, a group of skilled players immediately dispersed. Xiao Mingze was even more quick-sighted. He quickly drew a few arrows from his quiver, tied the handkerchief wet with kerosene firmly to the front, and handed it to him at the right time. into the hands of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took out the fire stick from his arms and ignited it. The short flame jumped briefly, and then burned fiercely driven by the grease. He picked up his bow and arrow, and with the sound of shooting through the air, the flame shot straight to kill. Flag to the city head!
The flames hit the flag, making a muffled sound in the evening wind, and then burst into flames.
The city gate guard obviously didn't expect that the other party would react so quickly, but he was caught off guard.
However, he was stunned, but Li Shimin was not. Considering the current distance, what is the difference between taking all the heads and taking the object from the bag?
One inch longer and one inch stronger, one inch shorter and one inch more dangerous. He didn't even use the long gun. He drew his sword out of its sheath, urged his horse to charge, and then cut off the stunned city gate guard's head, held it in his hand, and shouted He said, "I am Li Changsheng, who is under the command of King Wei. Do you really want to be my enemy?!"
Many opponents were photographed by him, and the leader died in the hands of the other party in one encounter. For a moment, he didn't dare to respond, and the situation became a stalemate.
The flag had been burned by the flames, leaving only a star-like light on the flagpole. However, in the night, above the city gate, this light was obvious enough.
Li Shimin finally waited for a response.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard hurriedly in the city. Although I couldn't see it through a city gate, I could still imagine a group of well-trained soldiers galloping towards them.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were fixed on the archer opposite, and then he heard a familiar roar: "Who dares to cause trouble here?!"
Li Shimin finally felt relieved, and all the followers behind him also looked happy.
Seeing the confusion on Xiao Mingze's face, the soldier who was nearby to protect her smiled and explained to her: "Teng Zhong is the only one with such a loud voice!"
Xiao Mingze knew that Li Shimin had set fire to the flag in order to send a message to his people in the city so that they could come to meet him, but she never imagined that they would come so quickly. It was so fast that she was really shocked.
You know, from the time the fire started to when Teng Zhong arrived with his army, it only took half an hour!
She has always been smart, but she couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment. She subconsciously looked at Li Shimin, but she only saw a tall and strong back.
Did you expect that?
Li Shimin's back seemed to have eyes. Although he was still vigilant, he was still slightly distracted and said to her: "I can trust my people."
He only brought a few dozen followers, but there were hundreds or more of them on the opposite side. Even if he really could fight, how could he withstand the opponent's round of battle?
What's more, it's fashionable and I don't know what happened in Dezhou City.
But Li Shimin believed in his brothers who got here first, and also believed in Yu Yingying and Wei Xuancheng.
They set out a few days before him and must have entered Dezhou. If this group of people were bundled together, if they could still be taken over by unknown forces, then Li Shimin and these dozens of people would be unable to save themselves.
Li Shimin chose to believe them, so he did not expand the war rashly. He first killed the enemy leaders to shock everyone, and then used fire to deliver the message to these people. As long as they were fine and saw changes at the city gate, they would definitely come to find out. of.
He made the right bet.
Teng Zhong was fully clothed and led hundreds of capable soldiers. He appeared at the gate of Dezhou City with murderous intent. His eyes swept over the city gate defenders holding bows and arrows one by one. He was as sharp as a knife: "Since we want to use swords and soldiers, why? I didn’t hear the news?!”
Then he said sharply: "Where is the gatekeeper?!"
The group of people looked at each other and subconsciously looked at the strong man holding Shangguan's head with a spear.
Li Shimin laughed, threw the human head on the gun to the ground, and said loudly: "But it's here!"
Teng Zhong's face relaxed obviously: "Brother, you are finally here!"
Then he looked at Xiao Mingze to one side, his expression becoming more and more concerned: "The Li family's sister is here too? You are the eldest brother's sister, and that is my Teng Zhong's sister - it's hard for you to ride here all the way, but you don't know how much you have eaten. Save the pain!”
Xiao Mingze was originally looking at this rough-looking man with some curiosity. When he heard this, he felt that there was something in his words, and he was obviously not as careless as he appeared on the surface.
She pushed the boat along the current and said in a weak voice: "Brother Teng Zhong is laughing at me. Although I can also ride a horse, I have never traveled such a long distance like this time. But my brother said that he has official duties and cannot delay, so he has no choice but to I have to force myself to keep up. If there is no one to help me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk even if I get off the horse..."
This girl was so brilliant that Teng Zhong secretly screamed "Hello", but her face showed just the right amount of concern, and she seemingly casually nodded someone behind her: "Xiaoqi, Li family My sister is very tired from the journey, take a few people to take her to Miss Yu's place to rest, and then find a doctor to take a look."
Xiaoqi was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a shrewd look on his face. He responded quickly and urged his horse to Xiao Mingze's side: "Sister Li, come with me."
Xiao Mingze glanced at Li Shimin, saw him nodding, thanked Teng Zhong, and urged his horse to leave with Xiaoqi.
Seeing Teng Zhong's actions, Li Shimin already had some understanding in his heart.
When I rushed to Qingzhou, I was afraid that something terrible had happened in this Dezhou city - Teng Zhong didn't want Mingze, a "girl from the Li family", to continue to be with him. What did this mean?
First, Teng Zhong's group of sworn brothers who initially followed him had already joined Yu Yingying and Wei Xuancheng. Otherwise, they would not know the false identity of Xiao Mingze, the "sister of the Li family".
Secondly, the mastermind behind the incident in Dezhou and even tonight must know Xiao Mingze!
Who is the one?
It can't be Li Tianrong, the eldest son of King Wei, who comes here in person, right?
This is impossible. At this moment, what reason does Li Tianrong have to kill him.
In just a moment, Li Shimin had countless thoughts in his mind.
Over there, Teng Zhong was questioning the city gate guards: "How dare you attack and kill the governor of Dezhou appointed by His Highness the King of Wei?!"
"...What, the whereabouts of the caller are suspicious? How suspicious? Didn't he identify himself? Have you ever checked his identity? What, there is nothing, so we sent an order to be on guard with the intention of killing him. ?! But I can’t bear to hear such bastard words——”
Teng Zhongsheng was as fierce as a black bear, holding two mountain axes in his hands, how could it be described as menacing?
While he was talking, he was approaching, but he heard a shout from the distance: "Wait a minute!"
Li Shimin and Teng Zhong both turned to look, only to see a middle-aged scribe riding in hastily with a few attendants. He came up sweating profusely and said again: "Master Teng, wait a minute!" "
He reined in his horse and stopped, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said earnestly: "Now is the time to use troops. Why kill people for minor mistakes? It will hurt the morale of the army!"
He also said: "It is true that the flag on the city head is where the military power lies, but he is just a gatekeeper after all. He did not set the fire, so why should he feel guilty like this!"
In the space, Liu Che was already eating melon seeds with great interest: "As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there are any!"
Li Shimin sneered at this, but asked Teng Zhong: "Who is this?"
Before Teng Zhong could say anything, the middle-aged scribe raised his hands in greeting and introduced himself: "I am Shi Linding, the chief minister of Prince Ji. Who is your Excellency?"
The long history of King Ji...
Li Shimin silently chewed these words in his heart several times, and then outlined what happened in Dezhou.
He fell in love with this Feng Shui treasure land, but who said others couldn't fall in love with it?
No, I came too late, someone else took advantage of me, didn't I?
Moreover, he had a much more legitimate name than the general under King Wei of Wei. King Ji, he was the son of the Supreme Emperor and the brother of the new emperor!
so--
Li Shimin drew his sword out of its sheath, reined in his horse and slashed him horizontally, beheading him under the horse with lightning and flint!
The few attendants who were accompanying Chief Shi Lin Ding didn't even react, but when they saw the flash of a knife in front of their eyes, their eyelashes hurt, and the next second, Lin Ding's head fell from his neck without any warning.
Blood splatters.
Li Shimin snorted coldly, sheathed the sword, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "What a joke, you just said that you are the Chief Shi Na of King Ji? I think you are just a strong man, pretending to be the Chief here." history!"
"Mist grass, 666!"
Liu Che spat out a melon seed and said enthusiastically: "Brother, you are so innocent, you are treating others in their own way!"
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Liu Che's hand and gave some to Ying Zheng and Li Yuanda: "If King Ji knew about it, wouldn't he cry in anger?"
Li Shimin looked confused: "Ah? King Ji, what King Ji?"
He opened his lips and smiled, his eyes were bloodthirsty, and his tone was brisk: "I told you they are fake!"
Chapter 126
Li Shimin suddenly took action and took the life of Ji Wang Chang Shi Lin Ding, which actually made all the subordinates behind him stunned and were beaten unexpectedly.
While they were talking nicely, this Li Changsheng didn't want to rush to exonerate himself, so how could he dare to commit murder?
No matter how tyrannical he is, he is just a general under the command of the King of Wei, and his master is a dignified prince - even the King of Wei calls him "Emperor's Brother" when he sees him!
How dare he——
The group of attendants were stunned, and the guards at the city gate were also stunned.
That was King Ji's most valued confidant, the chief historian of the palace, a fourth-grade official!
Just kill him if you say "kill"?
They froze in place, but Li Shimin and Teng Zhong did not. At the same time, they suddenly started to attack, and they quickly killed the few people who came with Lin Ding without even giving them a chance to react!
The head fell to the ground, Gululu rolled far away, several horses screamed and whined, blood splashed in the narrow encirclement, and some even fell on the faces of the city gate guards not far away.
They came back to their senses as if they were just waking up from a dream. They were holding weapons and looked hesitant. For a moment, they didn't know whether to attack or surrender.
Those who could be arranged here to give the newly arrived Texas Governor Shi Li Changsheng a show of authority were of course all reliable people in the eyes of King Ji. Although there were many who were shocked by the bravery of Li Shimin and Teng Zhong, but There are also people who are willing to die for him.
"You, a thief, actually dare to kill the Chief of the Royal Palace without permission - brothers, come with me!"
After saying that, he rushed forward with a knife.
