in the dark
Duan Hong nimbly dodged the Jinyi guards who were patrolling around, and in a few steps he arrived at the gate of the inner palace wall, which was separated from the Xuanwu Gate guarded by Beiya Imperial Guard Zhen.
He looked at the walking route of the soldiers on duty, calculated the gap, and touched the wall of the inner palace.
Then
Duan Hong looked at the station of the Beiya Forbidden Army. There were three or two drunken soldiers and generals beside the campfire, stunned.
What's wrong with me? Are we looking for him after he's drunk like this?
He groped his way down and used his memory to find the residence of the dead soldier he had ambushed.
I selected the nearest door and opened it, but there was no one there.
Helpless, Duan Hong chose to leave and continued walking forward. He touched the door and took a look along the crack of the open door. Good guy, there were several drunk people who were afraid of falling asleep together.
The ensuing investigation surprised Duan Hong, who had already been prepared. All the dead soldiers with sufficient military rank who had been deployed disappeared.
Where have you been?
Could it be that he was caught?
It shouldn't be all of them. Only he and Lao Li remember these people, and in order to prevent accidents, they all have single lines of contact and different passwords.
Duan Hong searched around and finally settled on the room where the general of the Beiya Imperial Army lived.
There were a lot of people there, with bright bonfires and numerous soldiers. It seemed like there were many people in the room in the light and shadow.
All right
Maybe they were all inside. The helpless Duan Hong observed for a long time and found that there was no chance, so he chose to return the same way.
After Duan Hong left, some soldiers who had fallen asleep after drinking too much got up and entered the room of the Beiya Forbidden Army General with their badges.
There were many people sitting in the room at this time, and behind them was a group of Jinyi guards holding steel knives and crossbows. Yan Liang was sitting in the general's position, and next to him was Pang De.
When he saw a few soldiers pretending to be drunk, Yan Liang asked them, "Did you see clearly?"
Several soldiers nodded: "General Qizhen has seen clearly."
Yan Liang nodded with satisfaction and then turned to ask the generals: "Everyone, please stand up for yourself. The princess is kind and does not want to kill excessively."
The generals were unmoved. Yan Liang sighed: "In this case, don't blame Yan Liang for being rude. Take them all down."
"promise"
The soldier who just pretended to drink too much was wondering why Yan Liang did this, but he didn't ask more questions because of his identity.
After taking everyone down, Jin Yiweimen pressed these people into the inner palace gate. Li Mingda, who was sleeping soundly in the imperial study room, was woken up.
"Princess, the person has been captured"
"Let them spend the night outside, and then show them to my father in the morning and take them to the sky jail. There is no need to torture them, just leave them there first."
"promise"
After saying the good thing, Li Mingda closed his eyes and groped for his beloved concubine's round and white rabbit under the quilt. It felt good, and then he continued to sleep.
(~﹃~)~zZ
Duan Hong went back with no results. Li Shimin was restless and couldn't sleep all night. He sat there blankly, thinking about various situations in his mind.
After dawn, Li Mingda rubbed his sleepy face and came to the Zhengzheng Hall. He looked at the circles in his eyes and followed the panda-like Lao Li, and stretched out his hand to say hello: "Good morning."
Li Shimin said with an outward expression: "Huh, you are a traitor."
￣へ￣
Li Mingda didn't mind Lao Li's expression: "Well, I caught all the people who went to the Bei Ya Forbidden Army to find your arrangements last night. I will take a look at them after breakfast. Then I will take them." It’s a pity to see off more than 20 generals and colonels, as well as their families.”
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat. There were more than 20 generals in the Beiya Forbidden Army. Could it be that they were really all taken over?
This was Li Shimin's plan. Half of them were known to Duan Hong, and the other half was only known to him.
Li Shimin pretended to be calm and patiently followed Li Mingda to have breakfast.
Although under the witness of Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling, all the generals of the Beiya Imperial Army were pulled over.
Looking at the more than 20 people tied up, Li Shimin burst into tears. These are all his dead soldiers. How did you know about this traitor?
Li Mingda waved his hand and asked them to take them to the prison and then tricked Lao Li: "Look, my father has completely ruined the lives of his whole family for such a simple thing, so why do you have to find a scapegoat? Otherwise, my father Li Mingda didn't have a long memory, he looked at a group of civil and military officials pointing at Li Jing, Master Li Jing, please leave early."
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I understand." Then he kowtowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I have taken a step forward. In the early years, I offended many people. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not dislike it, so I have the status of pharmacist today." , I will take the first step.”
Li Shimin stood up excitedly: "Treason, how dare you~!"
Li Mingda: "Why don't you dare? I said it yesterday. My father must pay the price for his actions. Only in this way can you learn a lesson. What should you think about next time? Be more precise. You still have (think about it) Head) Twelve chances, come on”
He waved his hand and took away Li Jing, who was about to die generously. Then Li Mingda led his troops out of the Li Zheng Hall.
Li Mingda took Li Jing to the imperial study and ordered the soldiers to loosen Li Jing: "Master, take the soldiers outside the city to the northwest and beat up those Turks who want to cause trouble."
Li Jing finally came to his senses now. He felt that this was the reason why Li Mingda caught him: "The princess is not afraid of rebellion?"
Li Mingda: "You can try"
Li Jing raised his hand towards Li Mingda and said, "The princess's heart is really beyond my reach, but I can't do it even if I have soldiers but no generals~!"
"Simple, I'll leave Xue Rengui to you, as well as the kids from Master Cheng's family and Master Yuchi's family."
Li Jing thought about it and nodded: "I may need the support of General Zhang Wenyuan."
Li Mingda nodded and agreed: "No problem, I will go and repair a book and ask Murong Xue to take it with me."
Li Jing: "Princess Snow White is going to Tuyuhun?"
Li Mingda grinned and pointed at Tubo on the map: "When the Tang Dynasty was in civil strife, they would naturally take the opportunity to come down and try to eat some meat to replenish themselves, hehehehe."
Li Jing looked puzzled: "The Tang Dynasty is in chaos?"
Li Mingda: "When I say it's chaotic, it means it's chaotic. Even if they know the real situation, it's too late."
Only then did Li Jing understand that Li Mingda planned to use false information to deceive Tubo to go down to the plateau, and then rely on Tuyuhun's 100,000 cavalry to give them a happy killing.
clever
admire
But this plan seems to be missing a link
"Princess, how can I deliver the message?"
Li Mingda said: "Let them think that Murong Xue came to the Central Plains with an army of 100,000 to rescue the emergency. You don't need to worry about this matter. Just deal with the Turks. This princess will not keep you if there is something else to do later. Go back Tell the families of the masters and ministers in the Li Zheng Hall and tell them that they have stayed to serve the father and will go home in a few days."
Li Jing nodded: "I understand."
"Go ahead"
"promise"
Not long after Li Jing left, Li Tai and Li Ke, with panda eyes, came to the imperial study room tremblingly and frightened.
