Chapter 646 It turns out it was her

Time went back for half a day. After getting up and washing up, Li Xian took his guard out and walked aimlessly on the street. Today, he seemed to be in great interest. He kept joking with vendors setting up stalls along the way. People who were closer to the Qi Palace also knew this amiable prince, but he could also make a few harmless jokes.

He even selected a jade hairpin for Qing Yuan and Huang Luan. Although it was not a top-notch treasure, it was because of its unique shape and exquisite workmanship. Li Xian personally selected and paid the money, which made Qing Yuan and Huang Luan blush. This was the first gift Li Xian gave to them. Although it was not expensive, they were both extremely precious.

The two of them walked and lowered their heads to play, obviously they liked it very much.

Li Xian bought a hairpin and walked to a stall selling calligraphy and paintings. He looked at the several characters and landscape paintings on the stall. He couldn't quite understand the paintings, but the brushwork was rough, and there were even a few obvious mistakes. This was definitely not hidden. So Li Xian just took a look and looked away and found that two characters were written well.

"Whose word is this?"

"This is……"

The vendor habitually made up random things and subconsciously realized that this great man in front of him was the most powerful one. He had the highest status under the emperor. Isn’t it a boring thing to deceive him? So he blushed and said embarrassedly: “Your Highness, this is the word written by Caomin himself… I looked at the copybooks of several famous masters in the previous dynasty.”

"The pen is quite good."

Li Xian praised him.

The vendor blushed and said, "Caomin has been doing this since he was thirteen years old. He has been working for twenty years. In the past twenty years, he has only written these hundreds or dozens of words. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he couldn't write it well? Speaking of which, some people have said that Caomin can already use the fake to make the real one."

"How much?"

Li Xian asked.

The vendor waved his hand and said, "Your Highness just likes to take it away. Although this paper is high-quality rice paper and ink is also good ink, this thing is written by Cao Min himself. I will write a few more pictures tomorrow. It is not valuable to say it. If you can make your Highness think about Cao Min, you will be able to make a real profit."

"You are honest!"

Li Xian smiled and asked the vendor to wrap up a few words. Then he took a pen on the stall, dipped it ink, spread the rice paper and wrote the four words "Chengyuzu" in one go. After blowing the ink marks, he smiled and said, "You can't give you yours for nothing. If you practice like this, you can't say that you will be a real master of calligraphy in another ten years. But now my word is still more valuable, and you can subsidize your household expenses if you sell it."

The vendor took it with great gratitude, and looked at the words and couldn't let go of them.

Li Xian smiled and whispered to Qing Yuan: "Who said that he could not write good words with a greedy and tyrant business? His calligraphy has come into the hall. Those who say that they cannot write good things without self-cultivation and cultivation are all farts. Some people may not be more beautiful than what he wrote for ten years. The handwriting is beautiful, but there are so many nonsense and emotional charms in it."

If people hear this from some calligraphy, they may be so angry that they will be sniffed.

"Your Highness, Caomin knows that you love books very much. Caomin found a lonely book yesterday. Why don't you check it out?"

The shopkeeper of Yi Bizhai standing not far away was familiar with Li Xian. The books in his shop were all very good. Li Xian often visited him. He heard his call and then walked over with a smile. He went to the door and asked what the book was. Suddenly, a few people walked out of Yi Bizhai's shop and muttered that something was too expensive and that was just slaughtering people. Li Xian turned sideways and wanted to give way to them. The man at the end suddenly untied his clothes and pulled out the knife from it, stabbing Li Xian in the heart with a knife!

In fact, Li Xian saw something wrong when he came out. Not to mention that a few ordinary people appeared in Yi Bizhai, it was a bit suspicious. The man walked at the back deliberately hid his body, but his eyes flashed and his face turned pale, and he was obviously extremely nervous. Li Xian had experienced too many life and death killings, and there was definitely a problem when he saw through these people easily. Just as the man drew his sword, Li Xian's footsteps were slightly wrong, and he could kick the man away with just one kick, but as soon as he thought about it, his shoulder sank down, and he was stabbed and then he stepped back.

At this moment, more than a hundred archers ambushed on both sides of the street stared at it. Once the assassin made a mistake, it was their turn to take action. Seeing Li Xian being surrounded by five assassins, no one of the archers pulled the bowstrings. But after hesitating for a while, they realized that they had missed the only chance to succeed.

Li Xian retreated, and the five assassins immediately chased after him, but Li Xian paused and rushed forward, smashing the face of an assassin with one punch. The next second, Li Xian had already pushed the half-dead assassin forward and rushed forward, smashing Yi Bizhai's door into the room. In the next second, Li Xian's guards had surrounded the remaining four assassins.

There were four swordsmen in blue shirts, as if they had been ready for a long time. They immediately rushed out in four directions and disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing that the four assassins were unable to succeed, they bit the pills in their mouths and committed suicide by taking poison. The two poked the knife into their hearts.

There was a chaos in the other places where the assassins were ambushed on the street. The assassins who were originally trying to rush over were actually attacked by someone. They were stabbed more than a dozen people without seeing who it was. Then there was a shout from the roof. Many archers were attacked from behind. They shot into the dark for a while, supporting each other and quickly escaped.

The killing time from the beginning to the end was very short, so the people on the street didn't even react to what happened.

...

...

Li Xian looked at the man who was rushing over with a spear, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but think of the couple he met while drinking strong wine and eating grilled fish by the Poyang Lake. Qingqing had praised at that time, and such a beautiful couple looked enviable. Then he beat the man up for something that had nothing to do with him, and he felt a little close to the woman.

That's right, this person is Chai Shao.

When Li Xian went out to stroll on the street in the morning, there was no shortage of guards around him, but someone entered Xiao Yu's mansion to commit murder. The murderer was not Li Xian's guard or a secret spy, but a good soldier arranged by Chai Shao. He first arranged the killer to enter Xiao's mansion to commit murder, and then immediately arranged for people to assassinate Li Xian. Although this plan was simple, it would definitely confuse the public. No one would have thought that it was arranged by him, and people would naturally think that it was Xiao Yu's revenge.

Song Yu's death and Fang Zhengran's death gave him a chance to kill Li Xian. He had long had the intention to kill Li Xian, and he had this idea since he was beaten inexplicably in Poyang Lake that day. But he had never had a chance. Li Xian's strength has become more and more powerful, so powerful that the entire Tang Empire was trembling. Although he has a high position and power, even the emperor has no choice. What can he do?

Fortunately, Li Xian actually entered Chang'an City rashly, and there were only more than twenty guards around him, which gave him hope to kill Li Xian.

He just didn't expect that Li Xian's reaction would be so simple and wild after the assassination failed. Li Xian did not enter the palace and did not report to the officials, but instead took people one yamen and one yamen to question and then killed people. Along the way, Li Xian first went to Xiao Yu's mansion, killed Huangfu Wuqi, and then went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and then went to Chang'an Mansion, and then went to the General Office of the Road. He then turned around and walked to the Military Preparation Yamen.

In these two hours, Li Xian successfully forced the entire Chang'an City military to count the number of people.

So Chai Shao knew that he was going to be exposed. He transferred a whole regiment of 300 elite soldiers, and three of the five assassins led two brigades, all of whom were his confidants. This matter could not be hidden at all. Once the military began to investigate, it would be impossible to hide it. So he immediately took the opportunity to enter the palace to test Li Yuan's reaction, and knew that the emperor was really angry this time and simply did things to the end. After he left the palace, he immediately transferred hundreds of elite cavalry and rushed to the military preparatory office under the name of the emperor.

"Punish the rebel Li Xian with orders!"

Chai Shao, who had already been forced to have red eyes, had only one idea at this time, to kill Li Xian!

Now it has reached this point. Even if he stops, can the emperor be spared? The country in the Tang Dynasty is not stable now, and Li Xian is too strong. The emperor can only comfort him and not offend him now. Chai Shaoben thought that the peerless opportunity he had waited for has become a trap. If he jumps in, he will not want to climb out safely. If Li Xian doesn't die, he knows what his fate will be. And if Li Xian dies, he will still have a glimmer of life.

After all, he is the prince-consort. Although he has never lived with Princess Pingyang since he escaped from Chang'an, his identity as the prince-consort is unquestionable, and the emperor attaches great importance to him! Since the rebellion in Taiyuan, his military achievements are second only to that of King Li Shimin of Qin! As long as Li Xian dies, the land is already done, even if the emperor kills himself, it will be useless. Moreover, now the Tang Dynasty lacks generals, he will still have a chance to turn things around, but if Li Xian doesn't die... he can only become a victim.

Before the emperor arrives at the military preparation yamen, he will kill Li Xian!

He rode his horse and held a spear. He roared with red eyes and said, "Those who stop me will die!"

Duke Zhang Gongjin of Tan looked at him and then looked at Li Xian. He didn't know what choice he should make. There were hundreds of elite cavalry around him who could be sent out to stop Chai Shao, but he didn't know what was wrong. He hesitated several times but did not issue this order. So, but when he saw the contempt and playfulness in Li Xian's eyes, he felt that his face was burning with a slap.

"Let the array and protect His Highness Yan!"

Zhang Gongjin gritted his teeth, thinking that if he had done nothing, the emperor would definitely not be able to explain, so he ordered the soldiers to arrange the array in front of Li Xian, but it was a little late at this time. Chai Shao's war horse was extremely fast and it was not far from the street entrance. At this time, it was only more than twenty meters away from Li Xian, and it was too late to arrange the array again.

Li Xian reached out to one side, and Qing Yuan pulled out the black knife and handed it to Li Xian. More than a dozen blue-shirt swordsmen around Li Xian also drew their swords at the same time, and in an instant, a surge of murderous intent like a wave emanated from them. But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

An armor-breaking cone brushed Zhang Gongjin's body and flew over with a whoosh. It was as fast as lightning. It arrived in front of Chai Shao in just a blink of an eye. With Chai Shao's exclamation, the armor-breaking cone accurately penetrated into his throat, passed through his neck, and brought out a sad and beautiful blood flower.

Zhang Gongjin and others immediately turned around and saw Princess Pingyang Li Huining holding a hard bow in her hand, still maintaining the bow-opening posture, her face was pale, and two lines of clear tears could not be stopped along her jaw.
