Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 273
When Li Yin's whip and Li Yun's screams sounded, Gao Ming suddenly remembered that what Li Yin said just now was not what he said when he was beating Li Tai?
Gao Ming always regarded Li Yin as a second-hand guy, but he didn't expect that this kid really had a good memory. It wasn't until this time that Gao Ming figured out why Kong Yingda would praise Li Yin in front of Li Shimin.

"This kid Li Yin is not simple!"

Li Yin used to belong to the kind of guy who didn't know how to learn. Once he studied hard, he would naturally become "learned and skillful", just because he could remember clearly what he said a few months ago. For one thing, Gao Ming felt that Li Yin was a good guy.

"Maybe this kid can surprise me!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming looks a little more expectantly at Li Yin.

But Li Yun didn't know what Gao Ming was thinking, all his energy and enthusiasm were now focused on the horsewhip in his hand, and Li Yun who was screaming again and again.

"...25 lashes...26 lashes...27 lashes...eighteen lashes...nineteen lashes..."

"Ah... ah... Sixth brother, you counted wrong..."

"If you dare to talk back, I'll hit you!"

"what……"

In the end, Li Yun fainted again due to the unbearable pain. Seeing Li Yun excitedly preparing to fetch water again, Gao Ming stepped forward to stop him.

"Lao Liu, it's almost time, you don't really want to kill him, do you?"

"But……"

Seeing what Li Yin wanted to say, Gao Ming shook his head at him again.

"There is nothing but, even if you feel that you are still angry, you have to wait for him to recover from his injuries. Don't worry, the old man has cut off his position as the governor of Anzhou, so he can't run away."

"Really?"

Hearing what Gao Ming said, Li Yin suddenly became happy again.

"Then I'm relieved, okay, I'll listen to you, big brother, and let him recover from his injuries. By the way, big brother, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's legs have been healed. I saw them on Chang'an Avenue a few days ago ,Do you want……"

Seeing Li Yin's eager face, Gao Ming couldn't laugh or cry.

"Forget it, now that Wu Yuanqing has even lost his position as Duke, and Wu Yuanshuang has even been reduced to a commoner, it's too cheap to deal with them, let's forget it!"

Having said that, Gao Ming pouted again at Li Yun who was hanging on the tree.

"Old Qi, you are in charge of sending him to Shangyao Bureau, I'm leaving."

"Hey, good!"

Hearing that Li Yun agreed, Gao Ming nodded again, then turned around and left the Forbidden Garden, and Li Yin also went to Shangyao Bureau with the scarred Li Yun on his back.

After both of them left, Li Shimin outside the courtyard wall sighed, and then waved to Qianniuwei around him.

"Go down!"

"Yes!"

It turned out that Li Shimin who received the news had already come, but when he knew that Gao Ming and Li Yun were teaching Li Yun a lesson, he deliberately didn't show up because he also wanted to use the hands of Gao Ming and Li Yun to teach Li Yun a lesson. , so that he has a long memory.

More importantly, he wanted Gao Ming to establish enough prestige among these brothers!
"In this way, things like Xuanwumen will never happen again, right?"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

And Gao Ming didn't stay idle after returning to the East Palace, he immediately sent someone to call Hegan Chengji to his face, and then gave him instructions.

"Aji, take someone to Anzhou, bring me the former Captain Zhechong of Anzhou, Meng Chao, and spread rumors along the way, saying that he ordered his daughter to assassinate the vassal king, and that he will be executed after being escorted to Chang'an. "

Having said this, Gao Ming suddenly laughed again.

"This time you bring more people over there. Ten men are enough to escort Meng Chao, and the rest of them will follow in disguise. Once someone comes to rob the prisoners, take them all and try to capture them alive, understand?"

He Gan Chengji nodded immediately after hearing Gao Ming's words.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

After leaving the East Palace, Hegan Chengji frowned immediately.

"His Royal Highness asked me to escort that Meng Chao back. In fact, the main purpose should be to use him as a bait to attract those who want to rob prisoners. Hmm... It seems that His Royal Highness attaches great importance to this matter, and this matter must not be messed up. !"

After returning to the barracks, he directly ordered 5000 people to come out, and asked them to disguise themselves and lie in ambush on the road from Anzhou to Chang'an. Individuals go from the official road to Anzhou to mention people.

Now everyone knows that the Baiqiwei is the prince's guards, so after Hegan Chengji went to Anzhou, he brought Meng Chao out smoothly, and then escorted him to Chang'an.

It’s not too far from Anzhou to Chang’an. If you hurry up, you can arrive in two days at most, but Hegan Chengji deliberately slowed down in order to attract the people who were going to rob the prisoners. It took three days to get to less than half of the distance. .

Moreover, for the convenience of the other party's robbery, Hegan Chengji deliberately abandoned the official road and chose to take a relatively remote and desolate path.

His painstaking efforts were not in vain in the end. On the evening of the third day, when they passed a small canyon, they suddenly saw several big rocks rolling down ahead, blocking the way.

"Enemy attack."

When Hegan Chengji yelled these words out loud, instead of panic showing on his face, there was even a hint of joy on his face.

"Someone is robbing a prisoner, everyone be on guard!"

"Yes!"

As soon as He Gan Chengji finished speaking, he suddenly found more than a dozen masked men surrounding him.

Seeing this scene, a sneer appeared on Hegan Chengji's face.

"Huh, it really came. It seems that His Royal Highness is right, let off smoke."

"Yes!"

After receiving Hegan Chengji's order, a hundred cavalry guard beside him immediately took down the small basin he was carrying, and then lit the materials that had been prepared in it with a torch.

Soon, black smoke billowed into the sky.

Seeing this scene, a dozen or so masked people surrounded them burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, here is a full fifty miles away from Shangzhou, so it's useless to set off wolf smoke."

"That's right, and the wind is so strong now, I'm afraid the smoke will disperse as soon as it floats out of the canyon!"

"Let us go, Captain Captain, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

He Gan Chengji also laughed after hearing their words.

"Hey, it's enough to float out of the canyon, and even if there are no reinforcements, just a dozen of you brats are probably not qualified enough to snatch criminals from my hand, Hegan Chengji. Come on, Catch them and live!"

When Hegan Chengji said "I want to live", the dozen or so masked men on the opposite side immediately became angry.

"Bold!"

"Insanity!"

"Let's go together!"

With that said, more than a dozen people rushed up together.

But before they rushed up, there was a shout from behind.

"It's a fraud, everyone go back!"

Hearing this shout, the dozen or so masked men who were about to rush up stopped immediately, then turned and ran.

Hegan Chengji waited for them for three days, how could they run away so easily, so he immediately ordered people to chase after them, and the two sides immediately met each other.

This time, Hegan Chengji brought with him all the old subordinates he had brought with him in the camp of dead soldiers, and all of them were people with extraordinary skills.

And these masked men who came to rob the prisoners were just Meng Chao's family generals, and the difference in force between the two sides was very large. If it weren't for the fact that He Gan Chengji was ordered by Gao Ming to catch them alive, I am afraid that a single light could kill ten of them. Several people were killed.

One side tried everything possible to catch them alive, while the other side tried their best to escape, and the people on both sides exited the canyon all the way.

As soon as he walked out of the canyon, He Gan Chengji saw a masked woman in red on a horse. When he saw this woman, a kind of enlightenment suddenly rose in his heart.

"Perhaps she is the one His Royal Highness wants to capture alive?"

But at this time, there was already a sound of horseshoes around, and Hegan Chengji looked up, and found that it was the reinforcements he had arranged to arrive.

Seeing this scene, Hegan Chengji immediately pointed at the woman in red.

"Catch them alive, especially the woman in red. You must not let her go."

"Yes!"

There were about 600 reinforcements who came this time, and they easily surrounded the dozen or so masked men who came to rob the prisoners.

Seeing a dozen masked men holding weapons in their hands, back to back protecting the woman in red in the middle of the circle, Hegan Chengji suddenly laughed.

"Haha, you have no way out, just grab it!"

Hearing Hegan Chengji's words, the woman in red surrounded by the circle suddenly sneered.

"Hmph, Li Yun, that pig and dog, actually sent so many people to arrest us. He really thinks highly of us. If you want me, Meng Xin, to be captured without a fight, it's a dream! Kill me if you have the ability!"

It turned out that the woman in red was Meng Chao's daughter—Meng Xin!
As soon as Meng Xin's words fell, Meng Chao, who was in shackles, couldn't help shouting.

"Xiner, why are you so stupid? Why are you so stupid? Huh?"

Hearing Meng Chao's voice, the eyes of Meng Xin and the others also turned red.

"father!"

"Master Captain!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Hegan Chengji laughed again.

"Okay, after I take you down, let you slowly talk about the past, take them down!"

"Yes!"

A dozen people were against hundreds of people, and there was still a huge difference in force between the two. After a while, Meng Xin and the others were all captured, tied up and thrown in front of Hegan Chengji.

Seeing Hegan Chengji's confident smile, Meng Xin spat at him again.

"Using more to bully the less, I'm sorry!"

Hearing Meng Xin's words, Hegan Chengji laughed even happier.

"You are right, but I brought more people than this. In order to catch you, I arranged 5000 people along the way, and arranged people in all possible places. How about it? Do you feel very lucky? "

When Meng Xin heard that Hegan Chengji said that 5000 people were arranged to arrest her, she was indeed a little surprised, but she finally snorted coldly.

"Humph!"

Seeing Meng Xin with a look of disdain, Hegan Chengji didn't care, instead he raised his chin towards her.

"By the way, let me tell you by the way, King Jiang can't order us, we Baiqiwei only obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

At this moment, Meng Xin's expression finally changed.

"Are you from His Royal Highness?"
