At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 854 Drives Fish For Yuan, Drives Sparrows For Cong
"Let me out, Yuwen Daoxin, you beast of revenge, you will suffer a terrible death!" Princess Pingyang opened her almond eyes and cursed angrily, trying to break free from the restraints, but her hands and feet were numb The rope is tightly tied, how can I break free?

Princess Pingyang tried desperately for a long time, her hands and feet were bloodstained deeply by the hemp rope, and she still couldn't break free. Finally, she was so tired that she collapsed on the ground, looking desperately at the roof and gasping for breath.

This is the wedding room of Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao, and it is also the room where they lived after marriage. Li Xuanba ordered someone to tie up Princess Pingyang and throw it into the room, then locked the door, and sent a team of guards outside to guard the room. After all, Princess Pingyang is still very popular in the army, and her husband Chai Shao is responsible for leading the army to guard Tongguan. Now that the Qi army is overwhelming, Li Xuanba naturally dare not ignore it, for fear of making a mistake.

Princess Pingyang looked at the roof in despair. She had noticed that Li Shimin's temperament had become abnormal since the Xuanwumen Mutiny, but she didn't expect that he was controlled by Li Xuanba's voodoo. It's hard to prevent, if Li Xuanba... No, if Yuwen Daoxin succeeds in the end, then Li Tang will give it to Yuwen Daoxin with the country that Li Tang has earned through two generations of hard work, as a wedding dress for him At the same time, I am afraid that even everyone in the Li family will be doomed and will be cleaned up in the end.

Thinking about the fate of the Northern Zhou royal family after Yang Jian conquered the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the fate of the Yang family royal family after Yang Sui's demise, Princess Pingyang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, she couldn't help shivering, her eyes showed deep fear.

At this time, a little dust suddenly fell on the beams of the roof, and then a head cautiously poked out to take a look, and then retracted immediately.

Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning saw it thoroughly, she was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, holding her breath and staring closely at the beam.At this time, the head on the beam poked out again, meeting the eyes of Princess Pingyang below.

Princess Pingyang was surprised and delighted, she rolled her eyes, and immediately continued to curse Li Xuanba, while the man on the beam jumped down from the beam under the cover of cursing, it was the general Horse Sambo.

It turned out that Ma Sanbao had been in Duke Huo's mansion all along, but he was very alert. When he discovered that the mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he hid in the dark and peeped. Seeing Li Xuanba escorting Princess Pingyang in, he hurriedly hid Go into Princess Pingyang's room and climb up the beam to hide.

I have to say that this Ma Sanbao is really smart. Not long after he hid, Princess Pingyang was taken into the room and locked up. Afterwards, the officers and soldiers searched the entire Duke Huo's mansion, but the room where Princess Pingyang was held was missed.

Ma Sanbao and Princess Pingyang beat the horse desperately, and the feathered arrows whizzed past his ears behind him.

A sternness flashed in Li Xuanba's eyes, and he said calmly: "Lenglou, lead people to pursue immediately, if you want to see people, you must see the corpse, otherwise come and see!"

Ma Sanbao felt relieved upon hearing this.

The morning sun has risen, the sky in the east is full of rays of light, and the tall city outline of Tongguan is in the distance. Jiang Tong pointed happily: "Your Highness, Tongguan is ahead..."

It has to be said that Jinghua Shuiyuelou's killer is really powerful, and he quickly caught up with Princess Pingyang and others. After a bloody battle, Jiang Tong, the guard of Jianchun Gate, and dozens of Tang troops under his command suffered heavy casualties. At that time, dozens of Tang troops had been wiped out, even Jiang Tong was seriously injured, and Princess Pingyang and Ma Sanbao were also slightly injured.

Ma Sanbao turned pale with fright, seeing that the arrow was hit in the back of his heart, I'm afraid...

The defenders on the top of the city took a look under the light of the rising sun and found that it was really Princess Pingyang, so they hurriedly opened the city gate.

With a flash in Li Xiuning's eyes, she got up and walked to the bed, beckoning Ma Sanbao to help move the bed, the latter immediately understood, and the two of them worked together to move the heavy rosewood bed away, revealing the floor tiles under the bed.

Let’s say that Princess Pingyang fled Chang’an from Jianchun Gate, and under the guard of dozens of Tang troops including the city gate guards Jiang Tong and Ma Sanbao, she fled towards Tongguan overnight.

Ma Sanbao was about to ride his horse into the city when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Princess Pingyang. Her face was pale and she was staggering on the horse. He has been hit by two arrows.

Li Xuanba sighed, and said naturally to himself: "After all, I can't be kind. I wanted to save your life."

"His Royal Highness, the entire Duke's mansion has been searched, but Ma Sanbao is still not found after digging three feet. It is estimated that this person has slipped away." A swordsman wearing a ghost mask went. Come in and report.

Li Xuanba tapped the tea machine with his index finger, frowned and said: "No, there is still one place I haven't searched." After speaking, he stood up and went to the backyard.

Li Xuanba walked to the bed with a gloomy face, and saw the dark hole at a glance, he could not help but clenched his fists and coughed lightly twice.

Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "So we have to find a way to get out of the city, but fortunately, this princess still has some contacts in the imperial army, so it shouldn't be difficult to get out of the city."

"Yes, I was scolding loudly not long ago, but I guess I'm tired of scolding now." The leader of the guards replied.

"Where is this... person? He was still there just now!" The leader of the military guard was stunned, and looked around. Where is the figure of Princess Pingyang? He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, a general Lang walked in quickly to report: "His Royal Highness King Wei, there was a commotion at Jianchun Gate, and the guard Jiang Tong defected with Princess Pingyang and Ma Sanbao."

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "King Wei was not born to the emperor, he is a descendant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now he has used Gu to control the emperor and is trying to usurp the throne. We have to escape quickly and gather soldiers and horses to King Qin."

The incomparably strong sour branch coffee table was smashed by Li Xuanba's palm, and the man was so frightened that he fell silent.

Soon, Li Xuanba came to the room where Princess Pingyang was imprisoned, and the eight guards who were in charge of guarding outside immediately saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Wei."

The two buildings of Jinghua Shuiyue Building made Leng Lou and Han Yue lead hundreds of killers out of their nests, chasing and killing them all the way.The reason why Li Xuanba didn't mobilize the army was because he didn't intend to make a statement, and because he was worried that there would be "disloyal" people in the imperial army, so it was better to use his own killers.

Li Xiuning tested the position with his feet a few times, then bent down and picked up a few floor tiles, exposing a corner of the wooden board below. Ma Sanbao's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly took away the remaining floor tiles, one nearly three feet square The wooden board is completely exposed, and when the wooden board is lifted, there is a dark hole underneath.

Li Xuan slapped the leader of the soldiers and guards flying out of the courtyard with a slap of his palm, blood was mixed with broken internal organs and he spit out frantically, it seemed that he would not survive.

Li Xuanba listened carefully, frowned and said, "Princess Pingyang is in the room?"

The two walked along the tunnel for about a hundred meters, and then got in from another hole.Li Xiuning said in a low voice: "Duke Huo's mansion was originally a royal mansion in the previous dynasty, and this tunnel should have been left at that time, and it was accidentally discovered by this princess later."

Seeing this, Li Xuanba's complexion changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to push, only to hear a click, the horizontal bar inside was inferred immediately, the door opened in response to the sound, and the afterimage flashed past, Li Xuanba had already rushed in.

Soon, the two rushed to Tongguan City, and Ma Sanbao shouted loudly: "This is Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, open the city gate quickly."

"There is a tunnel here. Princess Pingyang must have escaped from the tunnel." The swordsman wearing a ghost mask lost his voice.

"A shop in Beishi, the princess secretly bought this shop after discovering the tunnel, and sent reliable people to run it here in case of emergency." Princess Pingyang said as she walked out of the room.

"Open the door." Li Xuanba ordered.

"Decree!" Leng Lou immediately led more than a dozen ghost-faced killers into the tunnel to chase after him.

Let's say Ma Sanbao quickly untied the rope from Princess Pingyang, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Before Jiang Tong finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced through the air, hit the back of his neck, pierced his neck, and then fell silently off the horse, with one foot still in the stirrup. It took more than ten meters to get away.

The leader of the guard quickly took out the key and opened the brass lock, but when he pushed the door, he found that it couldn't be pushed open, as if it was locked from the inside.

Ma Sanbao's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a low voice: "No wonder, my subordinates have long felt that something is wrong with the emperor, but now that Huo Guogong's mansion has been surrounded, it is estimated that the city gate is also under martial law, how can I get out?"

This swordsman turned out to be the newly promoted envoy of Jinghua Shuiyue Tower. Although the owner Pei Ju is dead, the killer organization he founded is still there, and now it has been taken over by Li Xuanba.

In Duke Huo's Mansion, Li Xuanba sat quietly in the hall, in his sunken eye sockets, there seemed to be two candle-like flames burning in his pupils.

Li Xiuning took a candle to light it, and then went down the wooden ladder to the cave entrance. Ma Sanbao hurriedly followed, and found that there was a narrow tunnel below, and he could only walk forward with his back bent, and he didn't know where it led.

……

Ma Sanbao frowned and said, "Aren't we still in the city?"

snap...

Ma Sanbao suddenly said: "So that's the case, then where is this place?"

Princess Pingyang and Ma Sanbao looked back and saw more than a dozen war horses rushing from behind, all of them were black-clothed and masked killers, with only their cold eyes showing.

At this time, the killers were already approaching, and Ma Sanbao didn't have time to think, so he carried Princess Pingyang over and rushed into the city gate, while Princess Pingyang's horse was shot dead by the killer's arrows. up.

Seeing this, the defenders on the top of the city hurriedly opened their bows to cover. Those killers were shot and killed two people, but they didn't dare to approach them any more, they just held back their horses and hesitated.

After Chai Shao heard the news, he hurried over. When he saw Ma Sanbao's angry wife, he was dizzy and almost fainted.

"Xiu Ning!" Chai Shao cried out sadly and rushed forward, his eyes were red.
