The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 14: Changan Bloody Night

On behalf of the sacrificial ceremony, Taizong said with respect to the priest.

On the night of June 15th, riots broke out in Chang'an. People said that they had conspiracy. Taizong wore armor and held a sword.

——"Yong Shi·The Book of Emperor Taizong"

June 14th, in the dead of night, in a secret mansion in Chang'an, a man and a woman were discussing secretly in a secret room. The man was wearing a black night gown and a black cloak. Under the saree, the woman looked plain, but she was full of sword energy, and it was Wen Ziyan herself. The two were silent for a long time in front of the dim light. The man finally said: "Please tell the master, we can't do it this time. Now only about the power of Beijing, we and King Yong are only five to five, while King Qi Only he or his military amulet can be used for the military horse. It is impossible to participate in the seizure of the concubine this time. Besides, His Royal Highness still has a chance. If we rush to act, we will be caught."

Wen Ziyan sighed and said: "The sect master thinks so too, but I always feel that if I don't take the opportunity to kill a few thorns, I really won't be reconciled."

The man said coldly: "Who can we kill? There is evil shadow Li Shun beside King Yong. Unless the master of the sect personally makes a move, who can do it in one fell swoop, Jiang Zhe has Master Cizhen beside him, and the others are killed. What's the use? As an excuse for causing them to retaliate, is it to kill Princess Changle in Qingxiu in Wuchenan?"

Wen Ziyan smiled slightly and said: "Princess, we naturally dare not kill, but what about Ye Tianxiu, he is in Chang'an now, we should not take the opportunity to kill him and cut off the wings of King Qing."

The man thoughtfully said: "This idea is also good, but Ye Tianxiu stayed in the capital just right after all. The identity of the chief guard of King Qing is unusual. We have to kill him secretly, or we have to kill with a knife. ."

Wen Ziyan said with a cold expression: "Killing a Ye Tianxiu is easy. If I didn't want to provoke King Qing, I would have done it a long time ago. Now we take advantage of the chaotic situation and kill him. King Qing just wants to inquire about the crime and find no one. ."

The man faintly smiled and said: "Let’s stop doing it. Let Xiahou go. He is also a disciple of the Momen Yuezong. Don’t look at him on the surface, he seems to have too many martial arts tricks, but he is not that simple. "

Wen Ziyan smiled and said: "Okay, just do what you said. Master often says that you are her right-hand man. It really deserves your name."

The man said indifferently: "What about the right-hand man? It's not that you can only take orders from others."

Wen Ziyan sternly said: "Don't worry, you will be satisfied with the arrangement of the master after the event is over."

The man was silent and said for a moment: "I'm leaving, it's getting late."

Smell the purple smoke and nod lightly: "Be careful on the road."

The man came out of the secret room, his body as light as a feather, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye. And a **** killing is about to unfold.

On June 15th, Emperor Yong Li Zhi took the place of the prince to accompany the prince in Chang'an. After Li Zhi completed the ceremony respectfully and perfectly, even the most critical Confucian scholars could only admire it, and King Yong also took advantage of this ceremony. The situation returned to the center of power of the Dayong court, which made many people hate it, and some people rejoiced. Ye Tianxiu is one of them. As the chief guard of King Qing, his hatred towards King Qing and Fengyimen is clear, and he also understands that King Qing has no chance of victory. The only way is to use power, but until today , Ye Tianxiu willingly admitted that only King Yong was worthy of being an emperor.

Ye Tianxiu reluctantly looked at King Yong’s drive away, and finally decided to go back to his residence. Recently, Jiang Houye has sent a letter to His Royal Highness Qing. The poisonous injury of Xiaohouye has been temporarily controlled, so Lord Hou I hope to send Xiaohouye to Chang'an as soon as possible, but now the situation in Changan is so intertwined, Jiang Houye’s forces cannot guarantee the safety of his beloved son, so he transfers to King Qing, but King Qing also has difficulties. In Chang’an, King Qing’s The power is unstable. Although Fengyimen cannot deal with King Qing’s people clearly, it is not because they are powerless, but because they are unwilling to tell King Qing. If Xiaohouye arrives in Chang'an and they find clues, they can be fair. He will kill himself and these people in one fell swoop, and not only will the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness King Qing be in vain, but Jiang Xiaohouye will also fall into Chang'an.

Returning to King Qing’s secret stronghold in Chang'an, it was already dusk, Ye Tianxiu instructed his subordinates to watch the night carefully, and went to the study to reply to King Qing explaining his opinions. Less than a day after he finished writing, Ye Tianxiu felt bored and could not sleep peacefully, so she flipped through the study room for recent information.

At this moment, a mysterious man was standing in a street not far away, looking at it indifferently. He was wearing a gray-black gown, his waist was slightly tightened, and his body was slender, like a jade tree facing the wind. Although the face is covered with blue gauze, you can't see the appearance, but the brows and eyes exposed outside the mask are already very beautiful. He looked at the sky and suddenly flew into the quiet house. His flying figure was like Qinghong. Feiyan leaped over the courtyard wall in a blink of an eye, and his figure fell into the courtyard, already alarming Ye Tianxiu's subordinates. While they issued a secret signal to report upwards, they surrounded the man, and the man did not panic. , Just wandered inwards, several Qing Wang guards couldn't bear it, and stopped forward, but only saw a blue light appearing like an electric flash, blood flowed, and the few guards were all stabbed by a sword. Pierced the throat.

At this moment, Ye Tianxiu hurried over, and he shouted: "Who are you who dare to break into a private house at night?"

The man sighed softly and said, "I am also here under orders, see Brother Ye." After saying that, he was already rushing to everyone. Those guards were all martial arts masters, who were good at martial arts and attacked. The man's light work was very outstanding, and he saw his figure soaring, and the sword light was like a streamer, shining in the gray and black figure, sometimes breaking through the air, sometimes flashing and dazzling, wherever he went, the sword came out with blood. Ye Tianxiu shouted angrily, drew his sword and rushed forward, but the man didn't fight him, but chased and killed the guards everywhere. Ye Tianxiu was even more furious, and shouted, "Quickly retreat."

These guards were well-trained people, and they immediately dispersed in all directions, and Ye Tianxiu also took the opportunity to block the man. Both of them had very clever swordsmanship. Ye Tianxiu's swordsmanship was spicy, fierce, and fast, but among them It was calm, but the masked man’s swordsmanship was light, quick and unpredictable. With his unpredictable light skills, it was even more difficult to resist. The two of them fought in an instant. Ten moves, the exquisite sword moves are brilliant, the sword aura is raging, both of them are as dangerous as small boats in the storm.

Those Qing King’s guards knew that if they acted on their own, they would cause chaos, and were unwilling to disturb the officers and soldiers, so they could only surround the venue and prepare hidden weapons. They thought that if the two were separated, they would ask the masked man. call.

The two fight to a close, the masked man suddenly gave a soft drink, and the swords flew towards Ye Tianxiu. This sword was very fast. Ye Tianxiu was very calm. The cross sword blocked, the two swords intersected, and each flew away. , Ye Tianxiu found that the person's body seemed to trembled, and she couldn't help but feel happy, knowing that the person's skill is weaker than his own, and his body flashed through an arc, stabbed at the back of the person with a sword, and he calculated the position and that The masked man couldn't turn around, and the masked man was really angry and his figure stagnated. Ye Tianxiu's sword pierced his right side half of his body, and he was about to succeed. Who knew that man had a backhand sword, a sword. The light was like lightning and thunder. Finally, Ye Tianxiu's thoughts were careful, leaving a bit of effort, and only had time to avoid the vitals. He cried out in pain, held down the wound, and shouted: "Break through each of them." Despite the pain, he rushed out. .

The masked man wanted to chase him, but suddenly stopped for some reason, turned and rushed to the guards who had killed him desperately so that Ye Tianxiu could block the enemy. This time he was flying in the air, his figure resembling a flying falcon. The sword light was like a torrential rain, but with a dozen moves, the few guards who were left behind were completely killed. Finally, the masked man looked at the **** ground, sighed slightly, took a snow-white silk from his arms, wiped the blood from the sword, and then inserted the long sword into the scabbard disguised as a belt. The sharp sword is actually a soft sword.

At this moment, the fire suddenly burst into the big house, and the masked man frowned slightly, and immediately knew that it was King Qing’s subordinate who had burned the house by himself, so as not to leave any evidence, he was not angry, but just hid before disturbing the Quartet. In the night.

However, this **** battle was only the beginning of the nightmare. The Forbidden Army who was patrolling the night rushed to the fire. Soon after the fire was put out, two major events occurred in Chang'an City. One was the assassination of Zheng Xia and the other. It was the Chang'an Metropolitan City Incident.

Zheng Xia was assassinated at the beginning of the second round. After finishing the ceremony, Zheng Xia went back to the mansion at night. Although he was a civil servant, Da Yong Chong was a martial artist. He didn't like sitting in a sedan chair. He rode slowly on horseback. The entourages on both sides guarded each other and looked around from time to time. Zheng Xia has always been known for being upright and straightforward, and daring to speak out. Therefore, although Shang is clean and upright, and has a bright character, he still has a lot of enemies. There are a few outstanding martial arts guards, some of whom have received Zheng Xia's great grace and gratitude, some are respectful of Zheng Xia's character, so they are in love with each other, and some are simply guards sent to him by Emperor Yong. Although Li Yuan could not help but be confused about some things, he could not accept the admonishment. He respected Zheng Xia very much. So after Zheng Xia was assassinated, Li Yuan ordered four imperial guards to be Zheng Xia's guards. Later, four other guards of Zheng Xia who were born in Jianghu were awarded the false title of third-class imperial guard. Li Yuan favored Zheng Xia's honor and crowned the top 100 officials, and Zheng Xia became more loyal to Li Yuan.

Just as Zheng Shizhong greeted the guards guarding the gate. Not long after he walked out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, a dark shadow crawled on the roof on the side of the road. At this time, Zheng Xia's guards relaxed a little because of the large number of forbidden troops here. Who Knowing that at this moment, the dark figure suddenly shot out, stab Zheng Xia with a sword. This sword was as fast as a meteor lightning. Originally, Zheng Xia had absolutely no vitality, but it was also a fluke. When this shadow was assassinated in the sky, Zheng Xia happened to remember that the ceremony to welcome the holy driver to Beijing had been arranged, but according to Etiquette should go to King Yong to ask for instructions. After all, the emperor appointed King Yong to make sacrifices, so it is equivalent to let King Yong sit on the bunker. Although King Yong was placed under house arrest during this period, the etiquette cannot be taken lightly, Zheng Xia Originally, these etiquettes were the most important, so he immediately leaned down and ordered a guard in a low voice to send a post to Yongwang Mansion first tonight, explaining why he could not go to see him tonight. The moment he leaned over, the assassin had already stabbed in the air. By coincidence, Zheng Xia felt a sharp pain, and the sword had pierced his shoulder.

When the assassin flew out, the bright moonlight already revealed his figure. Although the guards weren’t able to stop the sword, they did a good job of making up for it. Zheng Xia leaned over to talk to him. The guard ripped Zheng Xia off the horse, and several other guards also drew their swords and surrounded the assassin, but the assassin was unusual, so he missed a hit, and the true meaning of the far-away draw is here. Before the encirclement, the guards had already rushed out of the encirclement and disappeared without a trace.

Zheng Xia endured the severe pain and said: "Immediately send someone to inform His Royal Highness King Yong, Wei Xiang and Qin Qing, the commander of the Forbidden Army." After that, she passed out into a coma. These guards hurriedly sent Zheng Xia to the Taiyuan Hospital not far away for treatment, and the news of Zheng Xia's assassination immediately reached the ears of the major forces in Chang'an.

Just when the various forces were suspicious, on June 15th, a major event that upset Chang'an occurred.

The two most prosperous markets in Chang'an are Metropolitan City (East City) and Liren City (West Market). Pingkangfang, which is adjacent to the East City, is a place that never sleeps. The curfew is two hours later than other places, and Pingkangfang is a good place for non-night bans. Therefore, it is a nightless day with brightly lit and full of spring at the third clock. It is at midnight when the fire is everywhere. There were groups of merchants fighting fires in various places, but in the chaos, some people murdered and robbed goods while shouting "Shu people swear to die not to surrender to Dayong". There were no square gates in East City, so the people in the city fled. Chaos, and at the same time, the Chunming Gate, the nearest to the East City, started to catch fire, and Chang'an, who was shouting to be killed inside and outside the city, ran into a river of blood. Ever since the founding of the country, Chang'an has been singing and dancing. For a while, the officials of the East City were caught off guard, and they had no alternative but to send people to report to Qin Qing.

If Qin Qing had not been alarmed by the assassination of Zheng Xia, I was afraid that it would be delayed, but he had already taken Qin Yong out of the house. When he saw the fire in the direction of Dongshi, Qin Qing and Qin Yong were both After all, the generals on the battlefield immediately ordered all the forbidden troops to be dispatched. Qin Qing sent the forbidden troops to protect the important government offices and mansions in Chang'an, and then ordered the city gate to be closed. Qin Qing personally led a forbidden army to surround the Dongshi regiment. After more than half an hour, Qin Yong was responsible for the interrogation of the streets and alleys. The Forbidden Army shouted military orders everywhere, declaring that Chang'an had entered a state of martial law. All residents must stay at home and are not allowed to go out. Anyone who violates the military order will be killed without pardon. Effective. When Qin Qing and Qin Yong met in Dongshi, the only place in Chang'an had not calmed down. It was because there were the most merchants and warriors inside and outside Dongshi. Although the fire inside had subsided, they killed each other. Qin Qing He and Qin Yong also wanted to send the Forbidden Army in to suppress it, but this is a prosperous place in Chang'an. If the Forbidden Army suppressed the jade, the jade and stone would be burned, and the two could not make up their minds for a while. Now the only person who can rule in Chang'an is King Yong. With Wei Guan, the prime minister, Wei Guan was a civil official, and the two had to send someone to ask King Yong for instructions.

Before the fire started, King Yong Li was discussing with me about what happened these days, and Li Zhi said cheerfully: "Suiyun, now this king can be said to have gained the support of Da Yong's army and people. What do you think?" /

I respectfully said: "His Majesty the Chang'an accompany memorial to the world, let the world see his demeanor, although the emperor still has the heart to protect the prince, but now who doesn’t know that the prince has lost his virtue, so the minister urges His Highness not to be anxious this time, instead His Royal Highness also has to follow the instructions of the Fengyi Sect Master. If His Royal Highness really attacked the Prince, I am afraid that everyone in the world thinks that His Royal Highness does not care about brotherhood, and the emperor is anxious. Obviously, he only wants to teach the Prince a lesson. That’s all, if your Highness is pressing too hard, preventing the emperor from stepping down, I’m afraid he will anger His Highness."

Li Zhi frowned and said: "You are right, but you also know that now the Fengyi sect master has already personally started, I am afraid that the prince will not make any mistakes from now on, and it will last a few years. There is no chance."

I smiled and said: "His Majesty, rest assured, now that Fengyimen is desperate. No matter how powerful they are, they can't reach the people of the world. His Royal Highness is not a puppet at his mercy. His nature is difficult to change, and everything is possible. It’s made ~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, we can’t just wait. The minister’s plan is already in place, but King Qi is too in the way. Although King Qi has a rude temperament and a shallow scheming, there are some things that others haven’t noticed yet. King Qi was already aware with his talent and dexterity, so his top priority is to send King Qi away from Chang'an."

Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "It's not difficult. There are some changes in the Northern Han Dynasty. I can recommend King Qi to visit the border."

I hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness may as well invite you to inspect the border."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, "Are you saying that you want to catch up?"

I stretched my palm and said: "That's right. If your Highness returns to the army, he will be like a dragon into the sea. How can those people let His Highness go? Then there will be no one else except King Qi. When King Qi leaves, Your Royal Highness can fight with the prince with peace of mind. After the matter is completed, only a piece of military order is required. Are you afraid that King Qi will not obediently restrain himself and return to Beijing?

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, I will explain the matter when my father returns. When the sixth brother is gone, I can rest assured. Now the prince’s leader is only the sixth brother. If he leaves, I will You can rest assured."

I shook my head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Jingjiang's princes also control the monarchy and are proficient in the art of war."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Suiyun, don't you tell me what you didn't do in Qin's house?"

I smiled slightly, thinking of Huali, the secret camp elite, my former guard, isn't it right by Qin Yong's side now?

While I was talking and laughing with King Yong, the guard reported that Zheng Xia was assassinated. King Yong and I were worried. Not long after, the guards in the mansion came to report that they saw the fire. This is the second time tonight. In the fire, the location seemed to be in the East City. Wang Yong and I looked at each other, and I quickly moved my brains. How could so many things happen together? If it was a coincidence, it would be too much.
