Man Tanghong

Chapter 726 Li Shentong!You betray me! ! (plus more!)

"Chai Lingwu and Wang Xuance can continue to practice martial arts with me, but Yang Yuzhi and others, I still hope that His Highness can recall them back to the Tanshan Literature Museum so that they can study."

Ross Xin said seriously.

Li Yuanji stared at Luo Shidao in astonishment: "At this moment, you came to me specifically to tell me this?"

Luo Shixin nodded solemnly.

Li Yuanji put down the memorial in his hand, and said with a long sigh: "Shi Xin, has anyone told you that you are not suitable for lying?"

Luo Shi began to believe, with a look of astonishment.

Li Yuanji continued: "Since you came in, your eyes have lingered on me no less than eight times, and every time you looked at my cuffs, neckline, and legs.

Don't you just want to see what's passing under my clothes?

I will show it to you now. "

As he spoke, Li Yuanji lifted his sleeves, revealing a gleaming armour, staring at Luo Shixin and asked, "Do you see clearly now?"

Luo Shixin nodded awkwardly.

Li Yuanji said angrily: "Tell me, whose idea is it, and what do you see?"

Luo Shixin said in a difficult way: "Minister..."

He didn't want to betray his brother, and he didn't want to deceive Li Yuanji, so he didn't know what to say.

Li Yuanji said speechlessly: "Don't hide it for them. You, Luo Shixin, are not such a complicated person, so you must be taught to do this kind of tempting thing."

Luo Shixin hesitated for a moment and said: "It was Hou Junji who noticed the difference in the frame of the princess and guessed what might happen, but His Highness didn't inform us, so in order to avoid spoiling His Highness' plan, he asked me to come over and take a look. "

Li Yuanji said angrily and amusedly: "You picked Su Dingfang clean."

Luo Shixin is not a small guy, how could it be that Hou Junji can command him to move.

At present, the only one who can command Luo Shixin is Su Dingfang, who has a fellowship with Luo Shixin.

Su Dingfang treated Luo Shixin with sincerity, and Luo Shixin admired Su Dingfang's brain, so the two got along very well.

If Su Dingfang asks Luo Shixin to do something, Luo Shixin will generally not refuse.

So it must be Su Dingfang who ordered Luo Shixin to come here to test.

Luo Shixin was embarrassed and embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Li Yuanji did not continue to embarrass Luo Shixin, and sighed: "Okay, since you have seen through, then I will tell you the truth. Nothing major happened, but there are some thieves who think they can provoke me. Try it next spring plowing, I want to give them this chance, and then lure them all out and catch them all."

Luo Shixin's expression turned pale, and he said in a deep voice, "Is there really someone who wants to harm His Highness?"

"unfavorable?"

Li Yuanji sneered, "Let's talk when you can get close to me."

Luo Shixin's expression slowly became serious, "I'm going to gather all the minions and come to protect His Highness."

Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "I still don't want it, it's just one or two small thieves. If you come here, you may scare them away. Then it will be difficult for me to find them out."

Luo Shixin hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "The minister is here to guard His Highness when necessary."

Li Yuanji's heart was warm, but he said: "I'm wearing armor, although it's just a chain mail, it can't be pierced by any sharp arrow, what are you wearing?
Wearing an official robe, someone can shoot you right across the eye with an arrow. If you stay here and help me block the arrows, aren't you going to die. "

Luo Shixin said firmly: "I am not afraid..."

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "I'm afraid, I don't want to lose a general of my Tang Dynasty because of a few petty thieves. If you really want to do something for me, go back and tell Su Dingfang, and tell him not to act rashly. Change, you go immediately to guard the frame of the princess, and keep the princess and the child in her belly."

Luo Shixin wanted to say something else, but Li Yuanji followed up and said, "I entrust my wife and children to you, don't let me down."

Entrusting a wife to foster a child is more important than protecting only one person's life.

Luo Shixin suddenly had nothing to say, he clasped his fists heavily and saluted: "Even if the ministers die, they will still protect the princess and Your Highness!"

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction, signaling Luo Shixin to go down.

Luo Shixin didn't say any more nonsense, and got out of the carriage in a hurry.

When returning to the side of Su Dingfang and the other three, Hou Junji was the first to come up to him and ask, "How is it, Your Highness..."

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, Luo Shixin said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, let us protect the princess and the child in her belly..."

Just one sentence is equivalent to saying countless words.

Hou Junji immediately stopped asking.

The expressions of Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang suddenly became serious.

"Who is so bold, dare to play His Highness's idea?"

Su Dingfang asked in a deep voice.

At this time, he no longer had the time to pay attention to why Luo Shixin was exposed when he tried to test Li Yuanji.

Luo Shixin shook his head and said: "I don't know, Your Highness didn't say anything. But I have already accepted the errand that Your Highness entrusted to me, and I promised His Highness that I will use my life to protect the princess and the child in her womb."

Su Dingfang nodded and said, "As ministers, we should."

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang looked at Xie Shufang and Hou Junji and said in a low voice: "Since Your Highness doesn't let us intervene, and only wants us to protect the safety of the princess and the children in her belly, it means that His Highness has arrangements, and we can't Go to call the part with great fanfare.

In this way, you call the tribal leaders in your house over, and I will arrange it. "

Xie Shufang and Hou Jun nodded together.

Luo Shixin also nodded.

Soon, the leaders of the trilogy in the four people's house were called by them for various reasons, and Su Dingfang whispered some orders while shouting and drinking.

After everything was arranged properly, the four of them talked and laughed while watching their surroundings.

As a result, I walked all the way until I reached the land of Huangzhuang, but nothing happened.

On the grounds of Huangzhuang, people from the Ministry of Rites have already built an altar.

The altar is made of loess and is not high. There are incense tables on it for offering three animals.

Since it is a sacrifice in the suburbs, it is a suburban sacrifice. Even if it is linked to spring plowing, there is no way to build a higher altar, and it can only be sacrificed on a small soil bag.

Li Yuanji led all the officials, offered sacrifices to God, and then started beating spring cattle.

Beating spring cattle is also a process of offering sacrifices to the God of Agriculture.

The person who beats the spring cow must wear the Nuo face of God Jumang, and beats a cow made of paper with a wicker whip. The body of the cow is filled with grains. After coming out, the ceremony is considered to be completed.

What this ceremony pursues is a bumper harvest. When all the grains in the cow's belly flow out, it means that there will be a bumper harvest this year.

So in order to have a good harvest in the new year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji put on a Nuo mask, put on weird clothes, copied a wicker whip, and lashed at a paper cow amidst the sound of blowing and beating drums.

This kind of behavior looks silly, but all the people involved have a serious face, no one is smiling, and no one is stupid.

After the paper ox was beaten to pieces and the grains inside flowed all over the place, the heavenly officials from the Ministry of Rites took the lead, and everyone shouted 'a bumper harvest of grains'.

When the shouts reached the loudest, Li Yuanji took off the Nuo mask, took all the civil and military officials, and all the female relatives to bow their heads, supported the pears, drove the old scalpers, and started the formal plowing.

From morning to evening, except for a short break at noon, I have been plowing the field.

He didn't stop until the sunset.

Except for pregnant women like Yang Miaoyan who received some care, most of the people were as tired as dogs and panting like cows.

Li Yuanji also looked like he was about to be tired. After returning to the carriage, he returned to normal, and at the same time became vigilant in his heart.

Li Xiaochang didn't do anything on the way he came, so he could only do it on the way back.

Li Xiaochang probably also wanted to wait until everyone was exhausted, too tired to move before doing anything.

In that case, even if there are many people guarding him, there is probably no spare power to protect his safety.

The carriage swayed out of Huangzhuang, and when it reached a gentle slope, there was suddenly the sound of a crossbow being struck.

"Protect Your Highness!!"

The moment Yu Wenbao heard the strike of the crossbow, he immediately shouted loudly.

The guards immediately surrounded the carriage.

Although Su Dingfang and the others didn't speak out, they and their subordinates immediately gathered together, quickly rushed to Yang Miaoyan's carriage, and formed a human wall in front of Yang Miaoyan's carriage.

Although they didn't bring many weapons and didn't wear armor, they didn't waver at all when standing in front of Yang Miaoyan's carriage.

"It's the Eight Bull Crossbow!"

A powerful crossbow in the army is enough to pierce the carriage and the people in the carriage.

It's just that after the crossbow was sounded, no crossbow spears flew towards the carriage, nor did any crossbow guns fly towards the team marching on the official road.

On the contrary, there were crossbow spears flying across the low slope.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

At this time, some people who were frightened and dumbfounded came to their senses and began to shout loudly, so more and more people flocked to Li Yuanji's carriage.

Li Yuanji lifted the curtain of the carriage and stared coldly at the gentle slope.

"Your Highness, please dismount and hide, and come out after the assassin is captured."

Liu Jun stood in front of the carriage window, admonishing him nervously.

Li Yuanji said lightly: "No, I want to see who is going to assassinate me!"

Liu Jun's face turned bitter, and he turned around to try to persuade him, but he heard someone shouting on the short slope.

"There is an ambush! We can only kill by force! Kill Li Yuanji! Give the country a surname! Seal [-] households!"

As the sound of shouting and killing fell, a group of more than a hundred soldiers rushed down from the gentle slope.

A tall, burly figure, covered in black armor, and riding a horse suddenly showed his head on the gentle slope, with a bow and arrow in his hand, he shot fiercely at the soldiers who were facing away from him .

Afterwards, more and more black-armored cavalrymen appeared, each of them bowed their bows and set up arrows, shooting fiercely at the armored soldiers.

Li Yuanji had already walked out of the carriage at some point, and stood quietly on the shaft, watching everything coldly.

"Strangle them all! Leave no one behind!"

After shooting two arrows, the first black armored cavalryman raised the lance on his horse and rushed down the gentle slope in a turbulent manner.

"Li Shentong! You betrayed me!!"
