The moment the main hall door was knocked open, the three people in the room were shocked.
Murong Xue reacted the fastest, and jumped directly in front of Li Bing, using her body to protect the prince: "Bold! Who is coming?"
"Sister? Xiaolian!" Rui Ji, who was standing aside, saw the appearance of the person coming clearly and shouted in disbelief.
Lian Ji walked quickly to Rui Ji, hugged her tightly, and shouted: "Sister, you miss me so much, you miss me so much! In fact, I have been here a long time ago, and I have never dared to come to see you. sister!"
Ruiji was too excited to speak at this moment. She could only hold her sister and cry loudly.
Seeing this scene, Prince Li Bing and Murong Xue couldn't help but be extremely shocked, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lian Ji did not dare to waste time. She let go of Rui Ji and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Sister, there is no time to elaborate. Come with me quickly! The assassins of Nilin Division are outside and are about to come in!"
Hearing her words, Murong Xue and Rui Ji had complicated expressions on their faces at the same time.
Murong Xue couldn't figure out the identity of her sister-in-law whom she had never met before, why she appeared at this moment, and she also knew about Ni Linsi.
Ruiji's expression showed more hesitation.
At this time, Li Bing, who had been silent, slowly stood up and said in a calm tone: "Murong Xue, it seems that my time has come."
"Why did Your Highness say this?" Murong Xue was shocked when she heard this. She quickly turned around and faced Li Bing and asked in surprise: "What are you..."
Li Bing smiled calmly: "I have been protected by the emperor's uncle since I was a child. I have been willful and unruly, and I have caused many disasters. I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I am ashamed of the people. Now that Shengtang is suffering from internal and external troubles, at least More than half of the responsibility lies with me. Looking at the overall situation, if I die, it may still be of some benefit to the country. Therefore, I have decided to die to thank the world and protect the Holy Tang!"
"Your Highness must not think like this!" Murong Xue said urgently: "What Shengtang needs is not only to suppress the rebellion and resist the enemy, but also to have a wise king to inherit the country. For this, you must not give up the world lightly!"
Li Bing shook his head: "I am no longer worthy of inheriting the throne of Shengtang. Murong Xue, if you can escape from prison and return to the imperial capital, you must tell the emperor for me that Bing'er has failed to live up to his old man's expectations... In my heart The person I feel most sorry for is my uncle!"
Murong Xue almost burst into tears: "Your Highness, things haven't reached that point yet. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Let's avoid this disaster first, and then try to regain our strength and save the saint. Tang Jiye..."
"You don't need to persuade me any more," Li Bing said in a very firm tone: "As a member of the Li royal family, what's so scary about death? What I'm afraid of is that I have no responsibility and no backbone! I have made up my mind, and I am waiting here for Ni Linsi. His Majesty! They are also loyal people around the emperor. If I can die in their hands, I am very high..."
Before the prince finished his impassioned speech, Lian Ji rushed behind him, formed a palm knife with her right hand, and struck the back of his neck hard, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
"Nagging, nagging, mother-in-law, mother-in-law!" Lian Ji scolded: "How long has it been, and you are still convulsing over there!"
Murong Xue quickly stepped forward to support the unconscious Li Bing and yelled at Lian Ji: "What are you doing?! Do you know who he is?"
Lian Ji replied nonchalantly: "You are my brother-in-law Murong Xue, right? It's so urgent now, how can I have time to talk? Come here, quickly carry this prince who is looking forward to death, and run away with me!"
After that, she pulled Ruiji up and walked out.
Murong Xue, with the help of two guards, lifted up the unconscious Li Bing and asked Lian Ji in front of him as he walked: "Where are we going?"
Lian Ji replied without looking back: "The assassins' martial arts are too high, and all the guards can't stop them, so we can only rely on the army to deal with it. Just follow along."
The group of people quickly walked through the servants' quarters next to Jixianzhai and arrived at the small gate of the West Palace wall. Two guards who had been guarding here in advance came up to them.
The head guard who had been following them gave them a brief explanation, and then ordered him to unlock the door and escort the prince through the palace wall and into the Ximen Guardhouse.
As soon as they entered the hospital, they met a group of heavily armed Xuanjia troops.
The guard leader was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, so he quickly took out his identity badge and stated that he wanted to see the captain of the cavalry camp here.
The leading officer of the Xuanjia Army took the badge and looked at it carefully, and then took a serious look at the group of people behind, especially Li Bing, who was being held up and unconscious. Finally, he nodded and led them. Go to the front hall.
At this time, Di Xian, who was in charge of commanding the rear, happened to walk in through the door. From a distance, he saw Lian Ji, Murong Xue and others walking around the military building and walking into the front hall of the Ximen Guardhouse one after another. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved. At the same time, he subconsciously looked up at the third floor of the guard building.
I didn't expect that it didn't matter if I didn't look at it. Di Xian was frightened to the point of numbness when he saw it!
The small wind lantern that was supposed to be hung outside the window eaves to indicate that the situation here was normal is now gone!
The bamboo lantern was originally tied by a thin thread and hung outside the third-floor window. It would be difficult to notice if you weren't paying attention. The other end of the cord was held in the hands of a secret whistler. As long as there is an accident at the Ximen Guard Station, if he loosens his hand, the lantern will fall down and send a message to the police.
At this moment, Feng Deng has disappeared. This can only mean one problem, something happened inside the Ximen Guardhouse!
This is not a refuge, but a deadly trap!
Di Xian instantly felt like he was falling into an ice cave. Looking further away in the blink of an eye, he saw that all the people in front had entered the main hall of the guardhouse, and it was too late to stop them.
He secretly forced himself to calm down and observe his surroundings carefully. At this time, the entire guard building was quiet, and a faint smell of blood could still be vaguely smelled in the air. From the small door behind him, the sounds of fighting and screaming continued to come, getting closer and closer to here.
There was a man-eating trap in front of him, and a murderous assassin behind him. A sneer appeared at the corner of Di Xian's mouth. Without any hesitation, he quickly left with a few of his subordinates.
Just when Di Xian noticed something unusual and quietly retreated, the front hall of the Ximen Guardhouse also became lively.
As soon as the guard leader led everyone into the house, they were surrounded by more than twenty bows and crossbows.
"What are you doing? We are all our own!" The guard leader was a little confused and protested loudly.
"Who is your friend?" The captain of the cavalry battalion sitting in the middle smiled faintly and raised his head as he said: "Drop all their weapons! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
The surrounding soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward, disarming and tying up the stunned guards. Lian Ji was no exception. She could only watch helplessly as the guards took away her weapons.
However, Lian Ji no longer cared about others collecting weapons. From the moment she entered the door, she stared at the captain with an expression of disbelief.
People who had a similar reaction to her were Murong Xue.
Murong Xue was stunned for a moment, and her lips suddenly trembled uncontrollably: "Jiang Yao? Li Jiangyao?!"
Li Jiangyao stood up with a smile, opened his arms, and hugged Murong Xue tightly: "Haha, young man, you didn't expect that, did you?"
"God! It's really you!" Murong Xue also stopped Li Jiangyao's shoulders: "Why are you here? Aren't you in Western Xinjiang?"
"Hahaha, didn't I hear that you were arrested, so I came all the way back to save you. How about it, is it interesting enough? Are you touched?"
Murong Xue's eyes were already filled with tears, and she said with a choked smile: "I am touched, very touched! You bastard, I wish you had not died in Western Xinjiang!"
Li Jiangyao also wiped the moist corners of his eyes: "How could he die so easily? By the way, Xu Youchang asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
"What?! Your friend is with you? What a good boy, I really went to join you. Where are the others? Are they still in the Ghost Desert of Western Xinjiang?" When Murong Xue heard the news about another good brother, she was immediately excited.
Li Jiangyao patted him on the shoulder: "Xu Youchang is still over there. Our story can't be told in one or two sentences. I'll tell you in detail later! Let's touch on this side first. How about it? I've suffered a lot recently. ?”
"Hey, what a hardship it is for me. Compared to you fighting alone, this place has good food and drink, and I won't suffer at all." Murong Xue said this and asked again: "Why did you come to save me? What on earth is this? what happened?"
"I was entrusted by Shen Lie to bring his brothers to rescue the prince!" Li Jiangyao smiled and said: "The task is only half completed at present, and there is still much to do later. Mr. Zhan Shi, you are free now, hahaha !”
Murong Xue took a long breath and said with relief: "Let me tell you, the imperial capital will never think of killing the prince. It's pitiful that your highness actually wants to die for the country." After that, he told Li Jiangyao what happened before. The others introduced it.
Xiao Wu interjected from the side: "General Murong, we have a resurrected soul here. Put it in front of your nose and smell it, and you will wake up immediately. Do you want to give it to His Highness?"
Li Jiangyao waved his hand and said: "No need for the moment. The war will be chaotic next, so it's better for His Highness to fall asleep to avoid being startled. Anyway, aren't we preparing a carriage? We can just leave the city in a while." As he said that, he winked at Xiao Wu.
Xiaowu was smart and knew Li Jiangyao's plan beforehand. When he saw it, he quickly nodded in cooperation.
Murong Xue led Rui Ji forward and introduced: "Jiang Yao, this is my wife Rui Ji, you should call me younger brother and sister. Rui Gua'er, he is my good brother Li Jiangyao."
Rui Ji bowed deeply and said, "I am here to pay my respects to my brother. I have often heard my husband mention that my brother is a real hero in this world. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
Li Jiangyao smiled half-heartedly, and was about to answer when he suddenly heard a scolding voice next to him: "Bah! What a bullshit hero! He's just a cowardless person! Big liar! Big bastard!"
