Turbulent Times Chapter 1665: Li Shimin’s acting skills
"Ah..."
"Father..."
While Chai Shao was roaring, he had already rushed into the depths of the hall, and he went to find his father.
To be precise, Chai Shao went to find his father's body.
Because, it seems that there are no living people in the entire temple.
After Chai Shao got out of the way, Li Shimin saw the scene in the hall clearly, even he couldn't help but his face changed drastically.
All the people who followed Li Yuan in before were all dead, lying on the ground, stumbling around, no one was standing.
The only person sitting was his father Li Yuan. Woke up by myself.
The people who rushed in with Chai Shao soon discovered that everyone in the temple didn't have any wounds on their bodies, everyone seemed to be asleep, and their faces were all abnormally rosy, dripping blood. The upper lip is purple.
But so many people have lost the slightest breath.
Li Shimin knew that all these people died of poisoning without going up to investigate carefully.
And this kind of poison is extremely violent, at the moment of poisoning, everyone is dead, and there is no chance to struggle, otherwise there will be no sound from the hall.
"Father!" Li Shimin roared, tears streaming down his face, and he was about to follow Chai Shao and rush into the hall to find Li Yuan's body.
But his legs did not move very sincerely, and he held his breath for the first time.
"You idiot with no winks!" At the same time, Li Shimin cursed secretly, and glanced at the commander of the soldiers next to him out of the corner of his eye.
The bodyguard commanded a Jiling, and quickly dragged Li Shimin back, shouting loudly: "Second Young Master, there is poison here, you must not go in!"
While the commander of the soldiers was speaking, he did not forget to wink at the soldiers next to him.
Those who can serve as Li Shimin's personal soldiers are all clever people. After the same excitement, several personal soldiers rushed forward and dragged Li Shimin's death envoy out of the hall together.
Looking at it this way, the whole scene became much more real. At least it seemed that Li Shimin was indeed forced to walk outside the hall instead of running outside by himself.
It's just that the military commander next to Li Shimin, Dugu Changsu, the head of the Zheng family and other civil and military officials who did not follow Li Yuan into the Taiji Palace, when they looked at Li Shimin again, they felt that they were covered from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. Feeling cold, he didn't even dare to look at Li Shimin again.
However, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
"Li Shimin's son is so ruthless, he leads people to kill these personal guards outside, but inside he has arranged for people to poison his father."
"This son is extremely hypocritical. He obviously poisoned his own father to death. At this time, he pretended to be innocent and cried loudly. This son is a beast with a human face and a beast's heart."
"Hmph, obviously I was worried about the poisonous gas in the hall, so I didn't dare to go in, but I pretended that I was forcibly pulled out by my own soldiers. This person is not as good as a beast."
"Li Shimin's mansion is deep and his methods are far more ruthless than Li Yuan's. It's just that this son kills his brother first, then his brother, and finally his father. Yang
Although Guang is a tyrant, he has never killed his father and brother like him! "
"Yang Guang waited for his father to die of illness before he led troops into the palace to seize the throne. At that time, he did not kill the deposed prince immediately, and even Yang Liang was not killed by Yang Guang. But now Li Shimin's cruelty has gone far. Yang Guang."
"Chai Shao was loyal to Li Shimin, and he did not hesitate to rebel and forced the palace because of him, but he didn't know that Li Shimin poisoned his father to death, and by the way, he even poisoned his father to death. I don't know what Chai Shao would think..."
"Although Wang Junlin is called the Poison King, he did kill a lot of people, but he killed people on the battlefield, and he killed Turkic, Tuyuhun and other foreign thieves. , is also aimed at killing innocent thieves indiscriminately, now it seems that what Wang Junlin did is the son of destiny, and this Li Shimin is the big devil, no wonder the battle with Wang Junlin will fail again and again.”
……
……
Li Shimin was still acting there to his heart's content, but he didn't know that the civil and military officials who had chosen to be loyal to him due to helplessness and the heads of some aristocratic families had quietly changed their perception of him.
Of course, Li Shimin should be aware of this when he looks back. He still can't take care of this matter now, and his mind is full of who poisoned his father, Chai Shao and others.
He tried his best to recall all the people who had entered the hall before, and suddenly remembered a little person whom he had ignored.
That is the attendant who followed Li Jiancheng.
The attendant next to Li Jiancheng is indeed a small person, so Li Shimin just glanced at it casually before, and didn't take it seriously, and this person's appearance is too ordinary, so ordinary that he is still in the crowd on the street, It is difficult for you to find or remember that such a person exists.
He turned his head abruptly to look at those civil and military officials who had not entered the hall, but he did not find this attendant among them.
In the situation just now, no one could escape, because the Taiji Hall was already surrounded by the troops brought by Chai Shao in all directions.
So, since he was not outside the hall, he just followed his Lao Tzu into the Tai Chi Hall.
"Go and see, is the body of the person who followed Shizi just now in the hall?" Li Shimin gave instructions to the commander of the guards next to him.
Although the commander of the soldiers was also worried that there would still be poisonous gas in the hall, he agreed and immediately led the people into the hall.
His gaze had been following that of his master Li Shimin before. When the latter looked at Li Jiancheng and the attendant behind him, he also looked over, so he also had an impression of the attendant of the prince dressed up by Li Jing .
"Sure enough, it was him. He was the one who poisoned him. He should be Wang Junlin's man, and he is also controlling that idiot Li Jiancheng." Soon, such a personal commander came out, but the news he brought, But it made Li Shimin's face ugly.
"He is no longer in this hall, how is this possible." Li Shimin's face was so gloomy that water dripped down. He has already escaped, which shows that the other party is probably an important person under Wang Junlin's command.
Then he thought of a possibility, and his face couldn't help but change. When he looked at the people brought by Chai Shao again, although his eyes didn't change at all, he already had some doubts in his heart
, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The Taiji Hall has a side back and a back door. Chai Shao’s troops surrounded the entire Tai Chi Hall before. If the poisoner wants to leave through the back door or the side door, he must be supported by someone from among the soldiers surrounding the hall, and it is by no means an ordinary soldier. , at least they are generals in charge of a certain direction.
………
………
On the west side of the Taiji Hall, there are two thousand people in charge of guarding. The commander of these two thousand people is a captain, surnamed Zhen, named Zhen Ziqiang.
There was one more soldier behind him, none other than Li Jing, but he was dressed as a civil servant by Li Jiancheng's side before, but now he turned into a full-body armored cavalry.
"I'm leaving. If you feel that you can't handle Li Shimin's tricks, you'd better commit suicide directly. But before you die, your surname and your origin can still play some role, so don't waste it." Li Jing whispered Said in Donnie Yen's ear, only the two of them could hear this voice.
"My lord, just go, the officials here know what to do, but don't forget to report the credit of your subordinates to Commander Shen and the prince. The daughter-in-law and youngest son of your subordinates are in the small courtyard at the east end of Shangye Lane, Fanyang County City. Commander Shen knows, and I hope that my contribution will benefit my son." Donnie Yen said in a low voice.
He finished speaking in a low voice, and without waiting for Li Jing to reply, he pointed to the five soldiers including Li Jing and said loudly: "You guys go to the outside of the imperial city to see what's going on outside, and then come back Report to me."
Li Jing and the other four guards clasped their fists in agreement, rode away quickly, and soon came to the gate of the imperial city.
There is a team of troops left by Chai Shao before guarding here, but after asking the four of them what they were doing out, they let the four of them out of the city without further questioning.
It's just that when Li Jing was leaving the city, he deliberately took a deep look, standing there like a sculpture, holding a sword in his hand, his whole body was already stained red with blood, a motionless iron masked swordsman.
………
………
A large living person was let out from the side door of the Tai Chi Hall. This scene was watched by two thousand soldiers. Even the captain who was in charge of the two thousand troops could only hide it for a while. When it was time, it was quickly found out.
Chai Shaotong, with red eyes, personally brought Captain Zhen Ziqiang to Li Shimin.
In order to prove that the person who poisoned the Taiji Hall was not his, Li Shimin deliberately kept Dugu Changsu, the head of the Zheng family, and Changsun Shunde and other important officials.
"Yen Ziqiang, are you a secret agent of the Far Eastern Army?" Li Shimin asked straight to the point.
Yen Ziqiang seemed very tough, and he didn't cry out for injustice, let alone kneel down to beg for mercy. He just glanced at the Patriarch of the Zheng family next to him with a complex and extremely cryptic look, and then looked at Li Shimin, snorted coldly, and said : "Second son, you just want the world to think that you were not the one who killed His Royal Highness Tang Wang, so you think I am who I am, and I am who I am, but I am dead anyway. Is there any difference?"
Since Yen Ziqiang entered the door, Li Shimin has been staring at him, so although the other party glanced at the Patriarch Zheng very secretly, Li Shimin still noticed it.
Hearing what Donnie Yen said again, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed immediately, because at this moment, he thought of many things.
