People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 593 Light kills shadows, people kill

With a sound of "huh", dozens of tall figures in all directions stood up instantly, each of them held a torch high in their hands, and the bright flame instantly completely illuminated all the space around the demon monk Wu'an.

The demon monk Wu'an, who had just moved his footsteps, immediately froze in place as if he had been backlashed.

In an instant, the incomparably sharp half-foot crossbow shot straight at it, tearing apart the body of the demon monk Wu'an in an instant.

The blood suddenly bloomed, and the crossbow arrow penetrated Wu'an's body in an instant, and then ruthlessly pierced the wall behind.

With a bang, a piece of the high wall collapsed in an instant.

The sergeants holding torches all around immediately jumped down from the wall, and then looked at the crossbow arrows that smashed the wall and pierced deeply into the soil, and couldn't help but gasp.

The next moment, everyone's eyes fell on Wu'an, the demon monk in the center of the fire.

……

Wu'an firmly pressed on his abdomen with one hand, but the blood was still gushing out crazily, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

Wu'an effortlessly raised his head, his pale face was full of disbelief: "How do you know that you want to break the art of concealment like this?"

The reason why he was able to become the top assassin in the entire Tang Dynasty was because of his strange and unpredictable concealment technique, which has never been defeated for countless years.

Li Xuan held the torch in one hand, pressed the other hand on the hilt of the sword and slowly stepped forward, said with a very indifferent face: "The shadow escape technique naturally relies on the shadow, without the shadow, your shadow escape technique will naturally break through."

Too many people in this world think that where there is light, there is shadow, but few people know that light can kill shadow.

Shadowless lamp, light kills shadows.

Before, at the moment when Fuyuan's crossbow arrow shot, Wu'an had already entered into seclusion, but the sudden flash of light directly dispelled all the shadows around his body, and he was completely expelled from the form of seclusion immediately.

Immediately, there was an extremely sharp crossbow and unbearable pain.

Wu'an's eyes fell on the bright torches in all directions, and he knew in his heart that this time he could not escape.

His eyes fell on Li Xuan again, and there was a sad smile on Wu'an's pale face. He looked at Li Xuan and waved at Li Xuan with some difficulty: "King Nanchang, come here, and I will tell you the details of the King of Donghai."

"Huh!" Li Xuan's footsteps stopped immediately, he looked at Wu'an in some surprise, suddenly seemed to think of something, couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't want to keep your mouth shut in this king's ear, do you? Let others think that you really told me the true identity of King Donghai, and make others suspect me, but you really didn't say anything, just want to use this method to get revenge on me?"

Seeing the demon monk Wu'an's calm face, but the horrified expression in his eyes, Li Xuan knew that he was right.

Up to now, the demon monk Wu'an has been unable to escape, what he can do is to frame Li Xuan fiercely at the last moment.

Li Xuan sneered: "Since you have the intention to speak, you must have said it even if you weren't the king. Then... come here, cut off all the tendons in the arms and legs of the demon monk Wu'an, seal his mouth, and send it to Baiqisi, and ask everything that can be asked."

There was suppressed anger in Li Xuan's voice, as well as Leng Sen's revenge, which made people shudder.

At this time, Cui Ding and Zhou Gan stepped forward, and at the same time they clasped their hands in agreement: "Obey!"

As soon as Li Xuan waved his hand, the two had already walked past Li Xuan, approaching Wu'an cautiously.

The insidious method that Wu'an unknowingly used just now made everyone feel a little jealous.

……

"Hey!" Wu'an raised his head and looked at Cui Ding and Zhou Gan. His left hand was pressed on the wound, and his right hand was still firmly holding the sword hilt. Seeing Cui Ding and Zhou Gan approaching step by step, a sneer flickered at the corner of Wu'an's mouth.

"Heavy hand, he has not yet reached the end of the road." Li Xuan's words made the sneer on the corner of Wu'an's mouth disappear instantly.

The long spear in Cui Ding's hand swung sideways, and he took a step forward, but Zhou Gan who was beside him subconsciously took a step back.

With the Qianniu knife out of its sheath, Zhou Qianren has already hidden under Cui Ding's shadow.

Walking three meters in front of Wu'an, Cui Ding took a fierce step forward, and the spear in his hand suddenly stabbed fiercely at Wu'an's lower abdomen.

As long as this fierce blow hits, it will be linked with the slightest wound, and Wu'an will immediately pass out from the pain.

Wu'an's eyes froze, and the next moment, he jumped forward fiercely, ignoring his own wounds, and directly melted into the shadow under Cui Ding's feet, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Cui Ding, who was wearing silver armor, did not look surprised at all.

The long lance in his hand continued to stab forward fiercely, but his right hand was slightly lifted up.

The lance blade pierced down quickly, and the speed was three points faster in an instant.

With a sound of "呲啦", in the darkness, something seemed to be torn apart, and blood suddenly bloomed.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Cui Ding, the sharp long sword had pierced Cui Ding's chest, and the trembling blade pointed to the weak point on the left side of Cui Ding's fish scale armor.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Wu'an's eyes, he raised his head, as if he wanted to see the fear on Cui Ding's face, but the corners of Cui Ding's mouth were raised, showing contempt instead of fear.

At this moment, Cui Ding stepped forward fiercely, and stabbed forward forcefully with the long spear in his hand.

There was a sound of muscle tearing, and the sharp lance had already pierced into Wu'an's left calf, pinning him directly to the ground.

The sound of "ding" sounded at the same time, the blade in Wu'an's hand had stabbed Cui Ding's armor sharply, and then swam in extremely cruelly.

Cui Ding remained motionless, letting the tip of the sword go in, the corners of his mouth split open in an instant, as if the pain had brought him endless excitement, but the long lance in his hand had already firmly nailed the demon monk Wu'an to the ground.

At this moment, a saber light flashed, and the next moment, the blood light flew into the sky...

One arm flew straight up, but he still held the slender blade tightly in his hand.

A patch of blood, Cui Ding's blood, was already on the blade.

With a "bang", Cui Ding's helmet smashed hard on Wu'an's head, knocking him back all of a sudden.

But Wu'an's left leg was still firmly nailed, and he fell directly to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qian took a step forward, and the sharp blade was already under Wu'an's throat.

Seeing this scene, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Wu'an raised his head fiercely, and gave everyone present a look with evil eyes. The next moment, his neck suddenly stretched forward, and slammed into the knife in front of him fiercely.

Zhou Gan's reaction was quick, and the long knife was withdrawn in an instant.

Although there was a bloodstain on Wu'an's neck, he did not commit suicide successfully.

However, before everyone could relax a bit, Wu'an had already bit the upper part of his clothes directly...

No, he has to take poison...

With a sound of "噗", a sharp long lance has been pierced fiercely into Wu'an's mouth, his tongue was twisted to pieces in an instant, the long lance moved forward, and directly stabbed fiercely from the back of Wu'an's head.

The lance blade pierced through the back of the head like water, and red blood dripped to the ground along the lance blade, and the lance body was already flushed red.

Chang Leng lifted it up vigorously, and the corpse of the demon monk Wu'an wearing the bright light armor was lifted into the air.

A hand full of rough palms was tightly held in the center of the long lance, but another hand was tightly held on the tail of the lance.

Wide and delicate, not like the palm of a sergeant.

Letting go of his palms, Li Xuan in the black gold silk robe stepped back, and his right hand was directly entangled in the sleeve.

He raised his head to look at the people present, and said in a low voice: "The demon monk Wu'an resisted desperately, and finally died at the hands of Jinwu Captain Cui Ding... Chang'an Cui Ding, beheaded the demon monk Wu'an."

The silent crowd immediately reacted, cupped their hands towards Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an Cui Ding, kill the demon monk Wu'an."

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Cui Ding who was a little stunned. Cui Ding, who had his back to Li Xuan, shuddered violently, then quickly turned around, half-kneeled on the ground facing Li Xuan, and at the same time solemnly cupped his hands: "Cui Ding thanks the king for his great kindness!"

"You don't need to thank me." Li Xuan waved her hands indifferently and said, "After you go back, please remember to invite all the brothers to have a good drink."

Cui Ding reacted immediately, and cupped his hands to the crowd, saying: "Brothers, I'm sorry, after returning to Chang'an, Pingkangfang will be open all night."

"Then thank you, Brother Cui." Zhou Qian patted Cui Ding's shoulder with a smile, and many Qianniuwei present burst into laughter at the same time.

It's not easy to drink a glass of wine in a place like Pingkangfang. Although Cui Ding gained merit for beheading the demon monk Wu'an, it's still uncertain whether the merit is comparable to the money he spent.

Li Xuan smiled, walked to Wu'an's corpse, shook her head softly, and said, "A person like him would rather die than betray the King of the East China Sea."

"His legs are already useless, and he couldn't escape. He tried to plot against the prince in the end, but he failed. Suicide is inevitable." Zhou Gan stood behind Li Xuan, looking at Wu'an's corpse, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When it was time to plot against Li Xuan, Wu'an had already decided to die, because only his death could plot against Li Xuan.

But it's a pity that Li Xuan took a cautious step and let his calculation fail.

In fact, as long as Zhou Qian reacted a little faster, he could still save him by cutting off his collar or cutting off his tongue, but there are countless ways for a person like Wu An to die, and if he cut off his tongue, he could no longer interrogate him. In the end, this credit can only be given to Cui Ding.

[Wu'an, code-named Yaoseng, head of the Wusheng Dao Chang Luotang, in the middle of the womb, is dead. 】

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment, the entry on Wu'an's head instantly shattered and fell directly into Li Xuan's mind. In that instant, a trace of darkness flashed in the depths of Li Xuan's eyes.

After only a few breaths, Li Xuan came back to his senses completely. He looked at Zhou Qian and said, "Behead, hang the body of the demon monk Wu'an outside the city gate, and after Dou Changshi has seen the head, send it to Shendu immediately. After that, Shendu will know what to do."

"Your subordinate obeys the order." Zhou Gan immediately surrendered without hesitation.

Li Xuan turned around, looked at the crowd and said, "Clean up the scene and return to the Governor's Mansion."

"Here!" Everyone present clapped their hands in agreement at the same time.

Li Xuan walked towards the back of the crowd, and soon, the war horse was brought back.

Amidst the neighing of the war horses, all the Qianniu Guards got on their horses at the same time, and they all headed towards the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion together. Other matters, including secret roads and fuyuan crossbows, were dealt with by the Law Cao of Yangzhou Mansion.

The entire city of Yangzhou gradually calmed down, and the sudden noise that erupted that night quickly calmed down.

Qianniuwei quickly returned to the gate of the Dudu's Mansion. After the fight on the battlefield, everyone felt relaxed.

Just as everyone got off their horses, a carriage suddenly came from outside... Li Xuan stopped.

Then I saw the carriage stopped at the gate of the Dudu's Mansion, and then the curtain of the carriage opened, Li Xizhi, Duke of Shi'an, got out of the carriage with a calm expression.

Following him was the secretary Lang Xue Zhongzhang, and a guard from the Dudu's Mansion.

Seeing Li Xuan, Li Xizhi walked past Li Xuan without the slightest expression, but Xue Zhongzhang stopped, cupped his hands at Li Xuan, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, by order of Dou Changshi, please ask Shi'an County Duke for questioning."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes, and there was a faint flash in the depths of his eyes, then he calmly smiled and said: "Since Dou Changshi has orders, then follow the orders, Xue Lang doesn't need to care."

Xue Zhongzhang bowed heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
