The first among the heavens begins with martial arts

Chapter 258 Li Tang's Destruction
Inside the Chang'an Imperial Palace, Li Yuan was choosing clothes for his evening tour.

"I haven't seen Xiufang for a long time, and I don't know how she is now."

The eldest son Li Jiancheng, who was waiting on the sidelines, frowned and said: "Why didn't my father bring back sister Xiufang, who is a princess of the Tang Dynasty but is a singer outside? If people find out, what is the majesty of the royal family?"

Li Yuan sighed and said: "I heard the news of Mingyue's death a few years ago, so I wanted to bring her back, but your sister is too assertive and refuses to listen to me. It's also my fault for betraying their wives. I have a prejudice against me, and I don't want to forcefully interfere with her, which will only make her hate me more, so the stalemate has persisted over the years."

Li Jiancheng persuaded: "The present is different from the past. Now that we are in a decisive battle with the Hunjun, if we let them know that Xiufang is the daughter of the emperor, they may do something. For the sake of my sister, you still have to make a decision early."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Jiangcheng is very thoughtful. In fact, this time, I plan to take her back to the palace. After the recent incident is over, I will help her find a good family. Xiufang is not young anymore, and it's time to get married."

While the two were chatting and laughing, they had been waiting by Li Yuan's side on weekdays, but the always expressionless Qiao Kong suddenly showed a strange expression.

He flicked his ears up and down, as if he was listening to something, with complex emotions in his eyes, and then patted his palms lightly.

He took a total of five shots, three light and two heavy, quite rhythmic, and the crisp sound was transmitted.

Li Yuan was puzzled, he didn't understand what Kong meant, so he asked directly.

Liao Kong clasped his hands together and bowed to Li Yuan and his son, which made them even more confused.

"I know that the master can't speak when practicing closed-mouth meditation, can you write down what happened with a pen?"

Li Yuan's wardrobe is very close to the desk, he pointed to the desk and said.

Liaokong shook his head, but did not act.

"What exactly does Master mean?"

Li Yuan didn't doubt him at all, but asked again.

The next moment, Li Yuan vaguely heard the sound of Qi Jin roaring.

Li Jiancheng's martial arts are not too far behind Li Yuan, and he also heard the movement.

"Is there a master fighting?"

Li Yuan nodded, "The direction of the sound should be Mingtangwo. Could it be that those barbarians started fighting?"

Li Jiancheng was a little upset. He specially arranged for his younger brother Li Yuanji to entertain foreign guests and masters of the rivers and lakes. If there were casualties in the fight, he would be more or less implicated by Li Yuanji.

"Maybe someone is itching to learn from each other?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vigorous roar became louder and denser, and the expressions of the two of them changed involuntarily.

The distance between the imperial palace and Mingtang Nest is not close, at least they need to be top-notch to let them hear it, and the battle is so loud and loud, which shows that this battle is definitely not a rivalry, it is probably someone who is fighting for life and death.

"Xiufang should have already arrived at Mingtang Nest. She might be in danger. Send someone to protect her as soon as possible."

Li Yuan was a little anxious. There was always a master he sent by his daughter's side, but that person was just an ordinary genius. Compared with the masters who were fighting, he was no different. If the other party had malicious intentions, the bodyguards would definitely not be able to stop him.

He walked out quickly, preparing to mobilize experts for support, but before he had taken two steps, he found that the four great monks came with him.

Normally, the five of them and Liao Kong have been divided into three shifts, taking turns guarding his side, but at this moment they suddenly came together.

His first reaction was that something happened, and he quickly asked: "What happened, all masters are here together?"

Liao Jin looked kindly, and sighed: "The masters of the Sui court arrived ahead of time, and the Mingtang nest is already in one piece, but your majesty need not panic, I am here to protect the safety of you and the crown prince."

"What, Qian Heng has arrived, can they fly?"

Li Yuan panicked, but quickly calmed down again. He is not at the end of his rope yet.

Although Qian Heng's surprise attack ruined the trap plan, the matter was not irreversible.

After all, Chang'an was his territory, as long as he mobilized a large army, Qian Heng might not be able to stay, but ordinary masters would find it difficult to escape under the entanglement of a large number of masters invited by Cihang Jingzhai.

Running away from the big fish and killing some of the smaller ones would also give him a little peace of mind.

"Come here, pass my order."

"Come on!"

"What about people?"

Li Yuan was furious. He waved away all the guards and inner eunuchs just now and told them to wait outside the house, but now he shouted three times but no one responded.

Without thinking, he wanted to go out to check the situation, but was suddenly blocked by Venerable Emperor Xin.

At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong.

"What are you doing?"

"Why do you want to stop me!"

After chanting the Buddha's name, he said: "Your Majesty, please stay in the hall temporarily and listen to the poor monk slowly come."

Li Yuan was frightened and angry, he never thought that the master protecting him would actually put him under house arrest.

He carefully observed all six people, and found that their expressions were normal as usual, as if nothing had happened.

He gritted his teeth and called out to his son, "I don't believe it, you really dare to stop me." He used his agility and slammed into the window, while Li Jiancheng jumped towards another window at the same time.

But compared with the six great monks, their martial arts are indistinguishable from those of the six great monks, Liao Jin and Liao Kong each made their own moves, and easily captured them.

Liao Jindao was offended, and lifted Li Yuan, who was immobile after the acupuncture point was tapped, and put him on the chair.

"Benefactor Li, don't need to worry. After today, although you are no longer the emperor, your life is safe. Everyone has exchanged the merits of Master Lu for the pardon of the Li family."

Li Yuan wanted to speak, but his acupoints were restricted, so he couldn't mobilize his vocal cords and muscles in his throat, so he could only make a whining sound.

But for Qian Heng, even if Li Yuan only thought about him with his heart, he knew it clearly, he smiled faintly, "You guessed it right, I have laid out this game three months ago, and now it's finally time to close it. "

Qian Heng's sudden appearance also frightened the six monks. Even though Fan Qinghui had heard that the national teacher was unfathomable before, he was not as shocked as witnessing it with his own eyes at this moment.

"You guys have done a good job. The entire palace has been brought under control. Fan Qinghui is indeed a genius for plotting."

Qian Heng's evaluation of Fan Qinghui caused quite a stir in the hearts of the six people, but these trivial things are not important, Liao Jin coughed lightly, and said: "Liao Jin represents the Buddhist sect of China who has seen the national teacher."

Qian Heng smiled slightly, "Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say, don't gossip, I have to see the Supreme Master later, I don't have time to chat with you."

Liao Jin took a deep breath and said, "I want to know how the national teacher plans to treat Buddhism?"

Qian Heng said indifferently: "You shouldn't ask me, because I'm too lazy to take care of these political affairs."

How could Kong Kong not be aware that the Sui court was really governed by Xu Ruowu, and Xu Ruowu advocated the extermination of Buddhism for a long time, and the reason why he did not act now is that the time has not yet come.

He actually wanted to see Qian Heng's attitude, and see if he could persuade Qian Heng with his great achievements in winning Emperor Li Tang.

As the real White Jade Pillar of the Sui Dynasty, he is also a vain promoter. As long as Qian Heng speaks, he will definitely be able to change the policy of the court.

However, Qian Heng's attitude disappointed him. The National Teacher obviously did not regard taking down Li Yuan and his son as a great achievement, and his attitude was too casual.

It was too late to jump back at this time, and if Fan Qinghui hadn't lied, even if the six of them combined, Qian Heng could suppress it with one hand, and he could only sigh secretly.

"Look carefully at Li Yuan and his son, I'm leaving."

Qian Heng's figure slowly dissipated, and the six of them looked at each other in dismay and remained silent.

……

Li Shimin rushed out of the city gate, pulled his horsewhip, and shouted: "Turn around, let's go east!"

Li Xiuning was taken aback, and said, "Why did you suddenly change your mind, didn't you go west to the military camp?"

Li Shimin wiped off the blood stains on the knife, and snorted coldly, "The city gate is controlled by the enemy. I'm sure that as long as we go to the barracks, we will fall into a trap."

Chai Shao frowned, "I don't understand what happened until now. Why did Shimin suddenly go to the barracks when he was walking around the street? Those fighting sounds might just be warriors discussing each other. Don't these things happen every day recently?"

"But the sound on weekdays is far worse than today."

Li Xiuning looked at her fiancé dejectedly, and explained: "Today is the day when the four famous masters perform. With their charm, they can stop the fight no matter where they go, but today they are more powerful than before. This is really too much." It's unreasonable."

"There is one more important reason."

Li Shimin said calmly: "The response of the imperial guards is really too slow. Recently, it is a special situation. Uncle Shentong will never stand still, so there is only one possibility, something happened in the palace."

He continued: "After I realized something was wrong, I immediately pulled you out of the city, but the city gate was almost closed. If I hadn't directly split the door bolt, I am afraid that the enemy would have been trapped in the city to catch the turtle by now."

Li Xiuning's face was full of worry, "If elder brother's guess is correct, I'm afraid father emperor and elder brother are in a bad situation, so why don't we just run away and do nothing?"

Li Shimin sighed: "Nowadays the enemy's situation is unclear, we don't know what's going on at all, I can't figure out how the enemy did all this without anyone noticing, if we insist on being brave, there is a [-]% chance will fall directly into the trap."

Chai Shao also echoed: "Yes, Xiuning, it's too dangerous to go back now, we should keep our useful bodies, and only when the situation is clear can we target the target, instead of sending us to death in vain."

Li Xiuning was silent, her heart was full of hesitation, she didn't know what to do.

The speed of her horse slowed down, and the speed of Li Shimin and others also slowed down. Even a thousand-mile horse couldn't bear the continuous sprint for several miles, and more than ten riders slowly moved towards the east.

Instead of taking the main road, they took the country lanes, which was also to avoid possible enemies.

Even though they were in Li Tang's territory, they had to be careful not to be discovered. Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt extremely absurd.

He tried his best to use his brain, thinking about how the enemy penetrated Li Tang's army and government like a sieve.

Suddenly, a face as beautiful as a fairy appeared in his heart, and he had an idea, and he understood everything in an instant.

"It turns out that everything is a conspiracy by Cihang Jingzhai."
