Ashina is thirty-three years old this year and is at the peak of her ambition in life.
It's a pity that his official career is not prosperous. He feels that he is an eagle with its wings clipped and locked in a cage. He yearns for the vast grassland, but can only stand in the cage and look at the grass in the garden.
…
It is said that his origin is noble enough. His father is Shibi Khan, his uncle is Jieli Khan, and his brother is Tuli Khan... The whole family is the king of the grassland!
It is a pity that the Ashina family, the king of the grassland, was defeated by the wise and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He had to follow his brother Tuli Khan into the court seven years ago and was appointed by the Tang Dynasty as Zhonglang General.
.
This is not bad at all. Although the Ashina Association inherited the Ashina family's strong body and bravery, they did not have the tenacity and domineering power of their fathers and brothers. He was able to be a high official in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with beautiful clothes, fine clothes, and beautiful women.
The food is pretty good too...
However, the official position of Zhonglang Jiang obviously does not guarantee Ashina Association's pursuit of quality of life.
He worked hard and performed his duties wholeheartedly, but His Majesty Li Er refused to promote him!
As for the reason, Ashina's association rate is quite clear...
When he was young and willful, he was domineering at home and resented the rebuke of his brother Tuli Khan, so he took advantage of an opportunity to inform His Majesty Li Er about his brother Tuli Khan's rebellion.
The result? His Majesty Li Er didn't believe it at all and treated him with great contempt.
Think about it, a person who can betray his own brother, who would think highly of you?
For this reason, Ashina was deeply regretful.
Since he could not be promoted and His Majesty Li Er did not pay much attention to him, Ashina felt that it was boring to stay in the Tang Dynasty and he dreamed of returning to the grassland.
But for him, a lieutenant general of the Tang Dynasty, returning to the grassland privately was tantamount to treason.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is in great power, who is willing to offend the Tang Dynasty for him? So the world is so big, Ashina Association found that he has nowhere to go...
Finally one day, the opportunity came.
When a certain nobleman sent someone to tell him that as long as His Majesty Li Er was killed and the new emperor ascended the throne, Ashina's association rate would be the result of following the dragon, and he would be granted the title of king and marquis.
I have to say that Turks are really stubborn sometimes, and this guy actually believed it...
Not only did he believe it himself, but he also roped in his nephew, He Luo'u, the son of Tuli Khan, and planned to find an opportunity to kill His Majesty Li Er, and then return to the prairie, and let's become a Khan...
This time, His Majesty Li Er left the palace and stayed temporarily at the Lishan Villa. Ashina, the general of the Yulin Army, was also among the retinue.
He discovered that at the fourth watch of every day, Jin Wang Li Zhi would leave the Bieyuan and return to Chang'an to study at the Hongwen Hall. At this time, Jin Wang Li Zhi's ceremonial guard drove out of the Bieyuan in sequence, and the gate of the Bieyuan was wide open.
Great opportunity!
The leader of the Ashina Association reached an agreement with He Luo'u. He Luo'u led more than 40 Turkic tribesmen who gathered together to invade the palace while the King of Jin was leaving the palace. He acted as an internal agent and waited for the opportunity to assassinate the king!
**********
There were chaotic sounds of footsteps outside, followed by a loud shout, a bow string vibrating, and the sound of arrows piercing the air, followed by a series of miserable shouts and curses.
The three people in the room finally knew that there were rebels and traitors who wanted to assassinate the king!
Princess Gaoyang was so frightened that she got up and ran out.
Fang Jun was startled, grabbed her collar, and said angrily: "Are you crazy? If you show up, you will be killed by these people!"
Princess Gaoyang cried: "I have to warn my father..."
Xiuyu also rushed up and hugged Princess Gaoyang tightly, crying: "Your Highness, it can't be done. As soon as you go out, you will be harmed by these people..."
After a few people were fussing like this, they might have made some noise, which was noticed by the rebels outside. Someone immediately shouted something, and then the door was kicked.
Princess Gaoyang said in panic: "It's Turkic..."
Fang Jun looked around. This room was used for resting after bathing. The decorations were simple and there was no place to hide people.
The door to the outer room was kicked open with a bang, and there was a burst of chaotic footsteps.
Fang Jun was very anxious and thought to himself, aren't you idiots committing a crime? Why don't you hurry up and assassinate His Majesty Li Er? Are you still thinking of searching people everywhere?
As long as they enter this room, the three of them will have nowhere to hide. No matter how conceited Fang Jun is, he dare not say that he can lead two pretty girls out of the siege and escape. The only outcome is to be stabbed randomly.
Chop into meat sauce...
In a hurry, Fang Jun glanced at the bed. It was designed with his own fire kang, and there was a kang hole under the stone slab. He ran over and lifted up a bamboo mat spread on it. As expected, the kang board was not plastered because it had not been completed yet.
A layer of clay.
Fang Jun opened the stone slab with force, and there was indeed a deep kang hole underneath.
"You two hide in quickly!"
At this point, the two women had already run out of ideas. They naturally followed Fang Junyan's advice and got into the kang hole obediently, regardless of whether they were dirty or not...
Princess Gao Yang got in, wiped her face with dirt, turned her head and raised her little face, and asked in surprise: "Fang Jun, what are you doing?"
Fang Jun was putting down the slate and said quickly: "This house is too small. If all three of us hide in it, they will definitely search it, and they will definitely search us out. Now you two are hiding here, I will go out and lead them away.
Remember, no matter what happens, you can’t come out even if you’re beaten to death!”
Princess Gao Yang's heart trembled.
As smart as she is, she naturally knows what Fang Jun's behavior means.
He wanted to use it as bait to lure away the rebels and save the two of them...
But he is only one person, how can he be the opponent of so many rebels?
The end is almost certain...
How could Fang Jun allow her to think too much?
Either the three of them die together, or they bet that the rebels only chased him and ignored the two girls, so that one of them died and the other two were saved. Of course, if he was unlucky, he might have a glimmer of hope...
It's not that he is great, but that he is sensible enough that anyone can understand simple arithmetic problems.
But not everyone can do it.
Life and death are at stake. How many people dare to face death and leave the hope of life to others?
Princess Gaoyang burst into tears and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to cry out.
In the hazy tearful eyes, as the stone slab was completely put down, Fang Jun's face could no longer be seen, only darkness remained...
Fang Jun will cover it with stone slabs and spread bamboo mats, and footsteps can be heard behind him.
Without thinking, he grabbed a vase and threw it backhand.
With a "pop" sound, the vase hit one of the rebels in the face and shattered into pieces. The rebel also fell to the sky.
There were numerous figures in front of him, and there must have been several rebels wearing Tang Dynasty-style leather armor. Fang Jun didn't have time to think too much. He leaned over and picked up the horizontal knife thrown away by the unconscious rebel on the ground, and danced into a ball of sword light to protect him.
Holding his whole body, he turned around and rushed towards the door.
If you can't get out of this door, you will be like an old turtle in a urn, with no way to survive!
The rebels gathered around the door and saw that their companion in front of them had his head smashed by a flying vase. Before they could recover, they were surprised to find a figure rushing out of the house. They were caught off guard and were actually hit by him.
Rush out the door!
Several rebels screamed, and the sharp swords in their hands flew up and down, and they all slashed at Fang Jun.
No matter how outstanding Fang Jun's martial arts skills were, he didn't have any special skills such as the "Hidden Knife Style for Night Fighting in All Directions". He raised his wrist to hold the knife that hit his chest. He felt a pain in his back and leg at the same time. He was still injured. But he didn't bother to look at it.
After suffering the injury, he mustered up all his strength, shouted loudly, slashed with the horizontal knife in his hand, and wiped the neck of a rebel in front of him.
A stream of hot blood surged into the sky.
The rebel covered his neck with his hands, but his arteries and throats were all cut off, and he could no longer block the surging blood. He was so weak that he fell to the ground.
Fang Jun was sprayed with blood all over his face, but he got an opportunity and rushed forward!
He clearly knows that once he is trapped in a tight siege, he will definitely die!
Several rebels were frightened by his fierceness. They were stunned when they rushed to the outer door and were about to rush out!
The rebels finally woke up and started chasing after them, screaming.
Fang Jun was about to rush to the door when he suddenly stumbled and almost fell down, but his left leg, which had been slashed, probably hurt the muscles and bones, and no longer felt any force.
Gritting his teeth and relying on tenacity, he rushed to the door again!
With a "peng" sound, the door was kicked open from the outside.
A general wearing a helmet and armor walked in with a horizontal sword in his hand, blocking Fang Jun's path.
There were pursuers behind, interceptions in front, and he was seriously injured...
Fang Jun's mouth was bitter and he screamed secretly: My life is at stake...
