Will Ming

Chapter [-] Who Wants to Leap the Dragon Gate

Mo Li is dead.

Fight to the death.

After killing 37 elite cavalrymen of the Liehu Camp by one person, he was covered with eleven arrows and hit 46 knives, leaving almost no skin.He sat down on the horse and was almost stabbed into a pool of flesh and blood by the horse. Even his legs were broken into several pieces from below the knees. The horse fell to the ground and he also fell, dragging two disabled He insisted on killing three more people, and finally Li Shuncong stabbed him into the back of his heart with a spear from behind. Several cavalrymen jumped off their horses and chopped them to death with their knives.

When a cavalryman raised a horizontal knife and slashed at his throat, there was no trace of fear in Li Li's eyes.There were only regrets and incomprehensions. He died without trying to figure out who Wan Yulou belonged to.Since returning from Chang'an, he tried to kill Wan Yulou three times, but Wan Yulou always found a chance to escape.The last time when he was cornered by him and there was no way to escape, Wan Yulou waved his hands helplessly and said eight words, which made it impossible for Li Li to stab the knife.

Qilin, Xuanwu, Suzaku, and Bai Ze.

With eight words, Li Li naturally knew that Wan Yulou belonged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.But Mo Li is the commander of Bai Zewei, and he arranged the people who inquired about Qin Wang Li Shimin. Others don't know him, they don't know that he is the commander of Bai Zewei, but he knows every subordinate clearly.

Wan Yulou is not a member of Bai Zewei, and with his skills, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a member of Suzaku Xuanwu Qilin Sanwei.

So Mo Li's biggest regret before he died was, is Wan Yulou someone from His Highness the Crown Prince?If so, then today Wan Yulou pushed him into a desperate situation and took the opportunity to escape, Mo Li would not hate him.After all, whether the news was passed back to Chang'an by himself or Wan Yulou passed it back to Chang'an, it was all for the sake of His Royal Highness.But if Wan Yulou is not the prince's person...

Mo Qi couldn't think about what happened next, because his head flew into the air.

Li Shun pulled the long lance from Mo Li's back, walked over and kicked the blood-spraying corpse to the ground.

"spit!"

Li Shun spat out the bloody smear, and looked around at the corpses lying beside him. There were thirty or so elite cavalrymen from the Cracking Tiger Camp of the Tang Dynasty, and they were killed by Mo Li alone.Thinking of Mo Li's lunatic's unconventional sword skills not long ago, Li Shun couldn't help but shudder when he thought of his fierceness when he killed people.He is a lieutenant of the Great Tang Cavalry. He has fought many vicious battles since he joined the army. He has killed at least two people that he can't count on two hands.

If the prince is surrounded by such lunatics...

Li Shun didn't dare to think about what happened next, but when he thought about it for a moment, a surge of fear suddenly surged in his heart.

"Find a boat to cross the river, Wan Yulou must be killed!"

Li Shun said something coldly, then turned around and said to his side: "You take two people back to the camp to meet the King of Qin, and you say that Mo Li has been killed, but Wan Yulou has escaped, and I will personally lead people to chase after him, please Don't worry, Your Highness... even if it is the ends of the earth, I will stand down and dedicate the head of Wanyu Tower to Your Highness!"

"Here!"

Several cronies responded, jumped on their horses and galloped out in the direction of the Tang Army brigade.

On the other side of the river, Wan Yulou struggled to pull the ferry ashore, then sat down and breathed heavily.He wore three layers of leather armor, and the fat inside might have turned white. If he took it off, the smell of sweat might kill a cow.He watched the fight on the other side of the river, panting and sighing.

"It's a man... It's a pity that I followed the wrong person."

He sighed with emotion, then struggled to stand up and walked away.He didn't see the scene where Li Li's body was separated, and he didn't want to see it either.He is an optimistic fat man, and he doesn't like to watch the kind of death scenes that make people feel nervous.Although Li Li's death was caused by him alone, he was not at all proud.

As he walked, he said in a low voice: "I will burn some paper money for you later if I remember. If you feel that you have died wronged, don't come to me. You have to go to Li Shimin. right."

As soon as he looked up, he happened to see a kid herding cattle dumbfounded looking at the fight on the other side of the river.Mingming was so scared that his face turned pale, but he couldn't help but look at it, his mouth was grinning, and his eyes opened and closed for a while.His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his body was still shaking uncontrollably.She looks about eleven or twelve years old, her hair hasn't been tied up yet, and she still looks childish.

"Young man, what's your name?"

"what?"

"Your green ox is really good, at least it can carry two hundred catties of weight!"

"Two hundred catties? You underestimated my green cattle. Grandpa is only one hundred and seventy-eight catties. Wouldn't it weigh more than two hundred catties if you still hug me and ride the cow?"

Wan Yulou walked over and blew on the bull's butt and said contemptuously: "Blowing...! Huh? Is this a bull?"

"You're the one bragging!"

"Am I fatter than your grandfather?"

"Much fatter!"

"Your old cow will never be able to carry me!"

"impossible!"

"Try?"

"Try it!"

"Come on, come on, someone is robbing my green cow... Woooo... liar! Liar!"

……

……

"I just hope that Wan Yulou is not from Big Brother."

Li Shimin frowned and said something in a low voice, then turned around and told Yin Kaishan: "Take five thousand elite riders first, and open a passage along the road for Gu. Anyone who is blocked will be killed."

Yin Kaishan responded, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

"Your Highness...the minister thinks that if there is a possibility of leaking the secret, it's better...it's better to go back to the camp. There are nearly 20 troops here. Even if Chang'an knows something, they will have some scruples. Your Highness will form an alliance with Li Xian again. Lay down the Eastern Capital as a foundation. Even if you can’t take down the Eastern Capital, Your Highness can still lead troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Du Fuwei can’t stop Xu Shiji from Yanyun Village, and the south of the Yangtze River is vast and rich, and it’s a place where we can be self-sufficient.”

Yin Kaishan lowered his voice and expressed his opinion.

"I know you're right."

Li Shimin patted Yin Kaishan on the shoulder, then looked around for a week and said with a smile: "The reason why you follow Gu is because of the promise Gu made to you at the beginning. Although you are all important ministers in Datang, if my elder brother ascends the throne, you Even if these military generals who have been following Gu can stay in the court, they will have no chance to make progress."

He paused and said: "Perhaps even you feel that Gu is putting all his eggs in one basket. Today, there are some things that Gu should explain to you. There are lonely people around Father, and there are also lonely people around Big Brother. Father He eldest brother sent someone to watch Gu, is Gu just an idiot?"

He turned around and told Fang Xuanling: "Notify those who are alone in Chang'an that once they find Wan Yulou, they will be killed. If he is really the eldest brother, he must go back, but can he see the person he wants to see when he goes back? Those who are alone in the army Is the prestige comparable to that of a big brother? Three of the four generals in the garrison of Chang'an City went out under the solitary tent! How many people in the East Palace have been able to stand out in the army? Liu Wenjing counts as one, but unfortunately he was beheaded by his father early on. Already!"

He said to himself: "Since Gu is going back, no mistakes are allowed. Wan Yulou is just a small person, he can't achieve great things."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I'll send someone to do it right now."

Li Shimin hummed and said: "The plan of the army to rush back to Chang'an within ten days remains unchanged. There are not many defenders in Chang'an City. Not to mention that the generals defending the city will not stop Gu, even if they eat leopards and dare to stop Gu. Could it be that if you are alone, you can't break into Chang'an?"

This sounded very confident, but everyone present knew that King Qin was just giving everyone a reassurance.As for whether this reassurance will work or not... No one has a clue.It's just like what Li Shimin said when Li Jing persuaded Li Shimin.Once this path starts, there is no turning back.

Chang'an City

Imperial study room

Li Yuan seemed to have aged ten years since the day he heard the news of Li Yuanji's death.The already gray hair on the temples turned white overnight.Leaning in the large left seat, he stared at the steaming teacup in front of him in a daze.He didn't listen to a word of what Li Jiancheng said just now, his mind was full of images of Li Yuanji, who was still a child, wrapped around his lap and acting like a baby every day when he was supervising grain in Huaiyuan Town.

"Father, the people of the world have bound themselves to prisons. 5 horses and horses are all white-clothed and white-armored to protect Yuan Ji's body. They have already passed Hongnong County. It will take more than half a month for the news to come back. Chang'an is not far away."

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Yuan, with sadness in his tone.

"understood……"

Li Yuan waved his hands weakly and said: "You go and let the people in the Ministry of Rites discuss how to bring Yuan Ji back. I'm tired, so you go to work."

"Father... the news reported back said that the people of the world are still imprisoned in iron cages. Even if they can bear the cold weather all the way back, they will lose their human form even if they come back. My son, I ask my father to make an order. The people of the world come out of the cage..."

"Let him stay inside!"

Li Yuan frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something: "You just said, the whole army is empty?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Exactly!"

The corner of Li Yuan's mouth twitched, and he was silent for a while and said softly, "Shimin... really has a heart!"

Li Jiancheng was startled, always feeling that there was something different in these words.

……

……

Chang'an can be reached directly by water, which is far smoother and faster than by land.Based on the schedule, Li Xian should arrive in Chang'an sooner than Li Shimin.But Li Xian had to wait for Ye Huaixiu and Chen Que'er's navy, so he was delayed on the road for a few days.When Chen Que'er's fleet caught up with him, Li Shimin's team was less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.

But at this time, Li Xian seemed to lose his eagerness.

Standing on the bow of the giant Yanyun ship, Li Xian stared at the river broken by the big ship in a daze.one end looks
