Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1058 Killing from the Source
Chapter [-] Killing from the Source
"Shhhhhh!"

More than twenty crossbows were launched almost simultaneously, blocking Chen Yingso's possible escape route.

There was a dense sound of breaking through the air, and the two bodyguards standing in front of Chen Ying, together with Chen Ying himself, were splashed with blood.Under the light of the fire, these countless blood flowers looked extremely coquettish.

Surprise, absolute surprise.

Chen Ying never thought that, as the most outstanding military commander of the Tang Empire, he did not die by the enemy's sword, nor did he die in the enemy's conspiracy.Outside Yanshi City in the east of Luoyang, the heartland of the Tang Empire, he was assassinated.

And it was an almost unsolvable assassination.

Chen Ying likes to do it himself, especially steam engine trains. Whenever there is a problem with the train, he always likes to go and observe it.

Usually when Chen Ying travels, the guards around him protect him from the elements, so it is almost impossible to assassinate a Chen Ying who has a strengthened Zhechong Mansion.With too few people, it is impossible to tear through Chen Ying's Tiger Yi Cong protection net. As long as there are too many people, it is impossible to avoid the surrounding eyeliners.

The only omission is here.There were only four personal guards around him, two of them fell down instantly, and the other two guarded Chen Ying and retreated quickly.

Chen Ying was hit by four arrows, the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

The twenty or so assassins didn't have time to reload the crossbow arrows, threw away the crossbow machine, drew out their short knives, and rushed towards Chen Ying.

However, they have run out of chance.

At the same time as the crossbow was sounded, Tiger Yicong, who was at the front of the steam locomotive, had already got off the train. Although they didn't have time to protect Chen Ying, the crossbow in their hands could.

Following a burst of metal tremors that made teeth sour, a dense rain of arrows enveloped more than 20 assassins.As Chen Ying's personal guards, they knew very well that they needed to stay alive.Although the dense rain of arrows was terrifying, it didn't go towards the vital point. It just nailed the twenty or so assassins to the ground, making them incapacitated.

Guo Luo supported Chen Ying, who was on the verge of collapse, with a look of horror, "My lord...how is it?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Dead..., I didn't hurt my vitals... I can't die!"

Yang Rong also rushed over upon hearing the news. She looked at Chen Ying, who was covered in blood, and said in a tearful voice, "She said she was fine. Look at you, how injured are you? Come...medical officer...military medical officer ..."

Chen Ying's brain was dizzy, his throat felt sweet, and when he looked down, blood flowed out, which was actually purple.His face became even paler.

"The arrows are poisonous!"

Chen Ying struggled and looked at Ma Zhou who came running in his unlined clothes and said, "Ma Zhou obeys!"

Ma Zhou and all the guards bowed down and obeyed.

At this time, Chen Ying knew that his time was running out, so he cut the long story short: "The army cannot be chaotic, the bank cannot be chaotic, and the research and development of steam engines cannot be stopped..."

Chen Ying's head drooped limply, and the military medical officer also ran over with the medicine box at this moment.

They were hurriedly stopped by Chen Ying, but the faces of the military doctors were even uglier.

"The arrows are poisonous!"

As Chen Ying was carried onto the train on a stretcher, the train did not start, but Chen Ying was nervously operating on the train.

Yang Rong looked at Chen Ying in the operating room, and said word by word: "I will definitely investigate and find out!"

Just at this time, suddenly a short personal guard silently pulled out his horizontal knife and rushed towards the assassins.

"kill!"

A cold light flashed across the horizontal knife, and a blood arrow shot out.

Ma Zhou screamed: "Stop him...you must leave him alive!"

The personal guards stepped forward and snatched Li Siye's horizontal knife, and hugged him tightly.

Li Siye was indignant.

They all knew that Li Siye was Chen Ying's eldest son, and seeing Li Siye's mood stabilized, they let him go.

Li Siye threw his fist towards the train carriage, each punch was heavier than the next, and after a while, his fist was dripping with blood, exposing the white bones.

Guo Luo is also very self-blaming and annoyed.

Ma Zhou said with a gloomy face, "Block the news immediately, and strictly prohibit anyone from approaching the train."

Guo Luo waved his hand to signal Tiger Yi to act according to Ma Zhou's order.

He turned to Ma Zhou and said, "We should start the Tianzihao plan and order Chenjiabao to evacuate!"

Ma Zhou knew part of Chen Ying's Tianzihao plan. In this plan, once Chen Ying suffered an accident, Chang'an, Chenjiabao, Lingzhou, and even Henan Province would all take action.

Ma Zhou shook his head and said: "No, we can't start the plan so early now, how about we divide the preparations into two hands, the various departments of the Anxi Army, Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, Liu Tong, Guo Xiaoke and the other departments must not act rashly..."

Ma Zhou's heart was in a mess. Now that the imperial court was on the cusp, if the news of Chen Ying's assassination leaked out, it would definitely set off a bloodbath.

However, Chen Ying is the backbone of the Anxi Army after all, and also the military god in the army. Once the whole army knows that Chen Ying was assassinated, they will definitely go crazy. At that time, Datang is in real crisis. It is possible to fall into a place of eternal doom.

……

North of Chang'an City, this is the red light district of Chang'an City, and it is also a place where dignitaries and dignitaries drink and have fun.A carrier pigeon landed in a luxurious mansion in Beili.

At this time, in the hall of the house, a manager carefully untied the small bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon's legs, and then quickly came to the front hall.

At this time, in the front hall, more than a dozen nobles were drinking and having fun.

The silk and bamboo are melodious, and the dancers dance to the rhythm of the music.

The ten handsome young men passed notes to each other, and everyone smiled.

A middle-aged man in a white robe in the second seat laughed incoherently and said, "Okay, okay, okay, finally got rid of a scourge..."

The man in the green shirt on the main seat looked coldly at the man in the white robe and said, "Young Master Feng, don't be too happy, just being hit by an arrow may not necessarily kill him, as long as he wakes up and knows that Ben has plotted against him, wait for us." What will it be, I think you all know it, right?"

The man in the white robe said with an educated look on his face: "What Du Gong taught is, why not buy more assassins and keep doing one thing..."

Before waiting for the man in the green shirt to answer.

The old man in purple clothes said: "Dugong, we have already done what you asked us to do. Should we do what you promised us?"

Du Gong smiled and said: "Everyone, rest assured, the plan is already in progress. Now our top priority is to open the gates of Anxi and Anbei. You don't have to worry about Anbei Army. General Qin knows how to do it." First, find out if that guy is dead. If he is not dead, the Anxi Army really can't mess up. If we don't get the treasury of the Anxi Army, our allies don't have the ability to cross thousands of miles and reach the city of Chang'an. At this time next year, the lord will enter Chang'an, and all of you will be servants of the dragon! The glory and wealth will be endless, and the descendants will be high-ranking officials and rich salaries for generations to come!"

After hearing his assurance, everyone present showed a sinister smile.

So what about self-destructing the Great Wall?
So what if the wolves are brought into the house and the lives are destroyed?
As long as we still have the final say in this world, as long as our children and grandchildren enjoy wealth and honor forever, it doesn't matter if there are thousands of miles of red land and millions of dead bodies!

This world is always ours, no matter who is the emperor!
If the emperor wants to take this privilege away from them, change another emperor!
……

Chenjiabao, the time is slightly later.Li Xiuning has been restless these days.Even though it was very late at night, she still didn't sleep.

Li Xiuning habitually walked around the Chenjiabao, until when she reached the account room, she found that the light in the account room was still on.

The eldest grandson Wugou was still making calculations cracklingly.

Li Xiuning entered the accounting room, looked at the yawning Su Yin and said, "Go to sleep!"

Su Yin lost all sleepiness in an instant, and hurried to pour tea for Li Xiuning.

The eldest grandson Wugou put it in the account book, looked at Li Xiuning with a smile and said, "Why isn't Sanniang asleep yet?"

Li Xiuning shook her head and said, "I don't know why, I just can't sleep."

"Maybe I'm thinking about General Chen!" Changsun Wugou deliberately bit down on the word "thinking."

maybe!
Just as Su Yin brought the tea, He Yueer hurried in with a panicked expression.

"Something happened to the princess!"

Li Xiuning's hand trembled, and the tea spilled out of the cup.She threw away the bad cup and let out a deep roar: "Is this true? If you dare to spread rumors, I will kill you!"

Li Xiuning's expression was stern, her eyes were like cold lightning, and she stared at He Yue'er, her meaning couldn't be clearer: If you dare to make fun of this kind of thing, even if you are a sister, your head will fall to the ground!
He Yue'er said: "I also hope this is a joke, but it's really not...it's true! Three days ago, Chen Lang came back from Pyongyang City, and when he arrived outside Yanshi City, he was attacked and shot with four arrows , was seriously injured, and was already unconscious!"

Li Xiuning yelled like a she-wolf: "Who, who did it? I'm going to kill them?"

He Yueer shook her head.

Changsun Wugou said coldly: "The matter is obvious. A while ago, something happened in Chang'an City. Jieli and Songtsan Gampo all ran out of Chang'an City. Xue Yantuo in Mobei also raised the flag to rebel. The princes also feel strange, thinking that they can't do anything if they run out, but now..."

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth, her expression became a little ferocious, and she said word by word: "Hmph, Shizu!"

Clan groups existed earlier than autocratic imperial power, and the ancient patriarchal system presupposed the existence of clans.

However, the rapid development of clans under the conditions of feudal possession of land and laborers was after the emergence of autocratic imperial power.The autocratic imperial power does not realize that this is an inevitable trend, nor does it realize that this development will eventually be in line with its own interests, so whenever a new stage of development begins, it always tries to restrain this development.

The economic contradiction between the development of the clan and the autocratic imperial power always existed more or less.

But as long as the imperial power is relatively stable, clans are generally willing to be loyal to the imperial power politically.They tend to entrust their clan interests to the one-surname dynasty.They were the main body of the intellectual class in this period, as well as the main body of imperial officials.If the dynasty is stable, there is not much risk in the development of the clan, and it is always smoother;
Conversely, if the dynasty's discipline is not established, the political situation is unstable, and the turmoil is frequent, the clan will also suffer setbacks and will not be able to obtain smooth development conditions.Therefore, although the Eastern Han clan had great social influence, they did not dare to covet the imperial court lightly.After Emperor He, when abnormal phenomena appeared in the imperial power politics, the officials and officials fought against the court, and the common people privately proposed to rescue the defeated, all in order to restore the normal imperial political order.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the clans were under the control of the imperial power. If the imperial power was stable, they would be the supporters of the imperial power; To become a contender for the new imperial power, but dare not compete clearly.If the contenders are not representatives of powerful clans, so they have to advertise otherwise, they are actually doing their best to unite powerful clans, gain support, and even transform themselves, gradually becoming representatives of powerful clans.Cao Cao, who defeated Yuan Shao, is like this.

After the imperial power is stabilized, the above-mentioned relationship will appear again between it and the clan.The Cao Wei regime is a bit special. It was replaced by the powerful clan Sima before it was truly stabilized.However, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were also like this. The Sui Dynasty was not really stabilized and was replaced by Li Tang.

Almost exactly the same.

Conspiracy and scheming have played across a dynasty.

Just when Li Xiuning's murderous aura was getting stronger and was about to erupt, Changsun Wugou took out a new cup and poured Li Xiuning a cup of tea, telling her to calm down first, while he tapped his fingers on the table, frowning , pondered and said: "It can't be done by the family!"

Li Xiuning's voice was cold: "If they didn't do it, who else could it be?"

The eldest grandson Wugou pointed to the ledger and said, "In April last year, Taiyuan Wang deposited 120 million guan in the Tongli Bank in Taiyuan City, and then deposited another 70 guan after the fall of October last year. Boling Cui deposited in the bank's Deposits also exceeded 150 million guan, Fan Yang Lu’s deposited 80 guan, and Wen Xi Pei’s also deposited 170 million guan. Affected by Chen Lang’s adjustment of the bank’s interest rate, the bank’s deposits increased to more than [-] million guan, of which more than [-]% The deposits are all deposited by these aristocratic families, and to assassinate Chen Lang at this juncture is tantamount to cutting off their wealth and life, and bringing an overwhelming bad luck for themselves!"

The eldest grandson Wugou emphasized his tone: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the great development of the gold mines in Duobao Mountain and the development of Anxi, His Majesty's New Deal has been implemented with astonishing efficiency, and the world structure is stable. They won't be so stupid. Attack him at this time!"

Li Xiuning struggled a bit, and asked, "If it wasn't them, who would it be?"

The eldest grandson Wugou sneered and said: "Chen Lang offended him the most, who is His Majesty promoting the New Deal?"

Li Xiuning crushed the cup in her hand with a snap, her chest heaved sharply, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's him..."

Changsun Wugou nodded and said, "There is only one explanation!"

He Yue'er was a little baffled.

I don't know what kind of riddle Li Xiuning and his eldest grandson Wugou are playing.

Li Xiuning said: "He is so courageous and ruthless! If he does this, he won't be afraid of retribution!"

The eldest grandson Wugou said worriedly: "Assassination has always been only a link in the whole plan, and more ruthless methods are probably yet to come..."

Li Xiuning said: "Guanyin servant girl, it's difficult for you to be caught in the middle!"

Changsun Wugou shook his head and said, "We have to make preparations early!"

"How to prepare?"

"money!"

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Everything in the world is for profit, and the noise of the world is for profit. They originally wanted to obtain huge benefits. Now we will kill them from the source!"

PS: Life is helpless.I was depressed last night. I drank too much with my friends and woke up at 01:30.I coded all night, I hope everyone will forgive me.
