The gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides immediately became apparent upon contact.
Wei Ying and others were all Fang Jun's generals. They followed Fang Jun in the south and north and fought across the country. How could they be compared to Dugu Cheng and other city defenders? Goguryeo warriors could stab the city defenders to death with daggers, but in Wei In front of Ying and others, he couldn't even get close.
Make a decision.
Wei Ying and others pressed forward step by step, forcing Zhangsun Langjun and others to the corner of the street, shouting loudly: "Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise you will not be shot!"
"Kill without mercy!" The rest of the troops roared together, with great momentum, a domineering aura coming out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield. Even though the number of people was less than ten, they still created a kind of Tang Dynasty atmosphere. The domineering power of the Mo Dao Formation "rushing in like a wall, destroying both men and horses"!
No matter how brave the Goguryeo warriors were, it was impossible for them to get a good deal at the hands of these warriors who had fought hundreds of battles.
It seemed that he could order the dead soldiers to charge, but when it was his turn, he could not overcome the great fear between life and death.
He is not really a dead soldier...
After swallowing his saliva, the Goguryeo warrior asked the eldest son, Langjun, with a guilty conscience: "What should I do?"
Langjun Zhangsun was also a little weak in the legs, but he stood up and asked: "I am a descendant of the Zhangsun family, and I went to the capital to do business on the orders of the family leader. Who among you actually commit murder in broad daylight in public? Don't you have the law?"
He couldn't figure out where these people came from, and hoped to scare them by mentioning the name of the Changsun family.
But everyone in Chang'an City was afraid of the Changsun family, but Fang Jun was not...
Wei Ying sneered: "I don't care if you are from the Changsun family or not. Your whereabouts are strange and your motives are suspicious. I came here to arrest you on the orders of my second son. If you know the truth, I will arrest you honestly. We will take you to the capital." During the Zhao Mansion interrogation, if you are really a descendant of the Changsun family, you will naturally be innocent. If you resist stubbornly, don't blame me for being ruthless and killing you without mercy!"
Only then did Changsun Langjun realize that these people who appeared inexplicably were actually Fang Jun's subordinates...
But he couldn't understand why he was targeted by Fang Jun's Buqu?
What's even more puzzling is that today's Fang Jun is neither the Minister of the Ministry of War nor Jing Zhaoyin. Even if an imperial agent infiltrates into Chang'an, does he have a relationship with him as a secretary of the academy?
It's just like a dog trying to catch a mouse and meddling in other people's business...
But now that I, a rat crossing the street, had been cornered by this vicious dog that was not stingy, where could I go to reason with him?
The eldest grandson is not like a sheep either. He used to be extremely vicious, but now that he has experienced great changes, his nature has been tempered and become even more cruel.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much. He would rather die fighting here than fall into the hands of Fang Jun and others!
Gritting his teeth, holding the dagger in his hand, he was about to rush past the Goguryeo warrior. He was now in exile, with no home to return to. He was tired of living like a ghost. Rather than fall into the hands of Fang Jun and others, he would suffer the consequences. All the torture and humiliation are worse than the vigorous blood staining the loess under my feet at this moment. My soul remains here and will always be with my hometown.
At this moment, there was a loud noise behind him, and dozens of warriors, servants, and porters from the Changsun family swarmed in carrying weapons and clubs.
"Mom! How dare you run wild on the territory of my eldest grandson's family after taking advantage of the courage of a leopard?"
"Fang Er is amazing, isn't he? You can be as arrogant as you want in other places, but in Changsun's house, even that coward has to kneel down!"
"Brothers, if the Fang family comes to bully you, how can you let them be arrogant?"
"That's right. But if they arrest members of our eldest grandson's family, how can we all live in this West City in the future? How can we have the dignity to meet the head of the family?"
"Discount their legs!"
"beat!"
…
But people from the Changsun family warehouse came over after hearing the news. Seeing the Fang family being so arrogant, how could they hold back?
Carrying a variety of weapons, he rushed forward and immediately surrounded Wei Ying and others.
When Wei Ying saw something bad, he made a decisive decision and shouted: "Retreat!" The horizontal sword in his hand danced into a ball of sword light. No one dared to come within three feet of him. He led his companions to fight and retreat, and quickly left the battle.
Tuan, let go of his feet and ran away without a trace...
It's not that he didn't dare to fight to the death, but after all, he still couldn't figure out the true identity of those beggars. If they were really the children of the Changsun family, rather than the enemy's deliberate work, causing casualties, not only would he not be able to bear the crime of committing murder on the street, but he would also be responsible for it.
It will hurt Erlang.
If the enemy and we are not clear yet, then we rush into a bloody fight on the spot. That is not bravery, but recklessness.
*****
Prince Jing's Mansion.
In a remote house on the east side of the inner house, Li Yuanjing slammed the cup.
Those who came to report the news would stand aside and remain silent.
Li Yuanjing cursed angrily: "There is not enough success but more than enough failure. When Hou Junji was executed, I should have killed this idiot He Qian Chengji with one sword. Why is he still here today to spoil my major affairs?"
Dong Mingyue on the side hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Why is the prince so angry? He Qian Chengji did a good job indeed. Although there are slight flaws, the flaws cannot be concealed, and the merits outweigh the faults. You are so harsh on him. Could it be that the cold has merits?"
The heart of a person?"
Li Yuanjing loved the country and the beauty. The charming Dong Mingyue was beside him and spoke softly. His anger came and went quickly. He sighed, sat down on the chair, and caressed the back of Dong Mingyue's white and delicate hands, feeling depressed.
Said: "I am not a ungrateful person. I can reward merits and punish demerits fairly. It's just that you are talking about this He Qian Chengji. After the matter is done, you can return to the house quickly and resume your life. You have to run to Ming Dynasty."
He swaggered into the city outside Demen and killed the soldiers guarding the city! That's all. But he should never have attracted Fang Jun's attention, let alone pretend to be a member of the eldest son's family and fight with Fang Jun's people in the West City, causing trouble.
The whole Jingzhao Mansion is alarmed! This time, the sinister Changsun Wuji, Fang Er, the stick, and Ma Zhou, the evil spirit, are all involved. How can this matter be resolved?"
He appointed He Qian Chengji to lead the Dong family's spies to Huating Town, and things went very smoothly. He got Zhentian Lei without anyone noticing, and also severely tricked the sinister Changsun Wuji. This made Li Yuanjing very
proud.
However, just now the family has reported that they were going to the south of the city to pick up He Gan Chengji and his party who were disguised as beggars entering the city. However, they discovered that He Gan Chengji's disguised beggar was spotted by the city defenders and pursued them for more than ten miles. As a result, all the city defenders
They were all killed...
Now the whole city of Chang'an is in a commotion. Such murders are shocking. The patrols of Jingzhao Mansion and the soldiers and horses of the guards on the left and right have blocked the four gates and are about to raid the whole city.
A hole was opened!
Once He Qian Chengji was caught, he couldn't stand the torture and confessed...
Li Yuanjing's hair stood on end and he shuddered just thinking about it.
He didn't understand. He Gan Chengji, you idiot, just disguised yourself as a beggar and sneaked into the city. Of course everything was fine, but how did you get noticed?
It's just that you noticed it. No one knows what you did. Even if you were caught by the soldiers, it would only take a lot of effort to fish it out. Why the hell did you kill all the soldiers guarding the city?
The most disgusting thing is that this guy actually pretended to be a member of the Changsun family and sneaked into the West City, but he was busted by Fang Jun's people, and he fought to the end...
Li Yuanjing was racking his brain and couldn't figure out what kind of wrong medicine did He Gan Chengji take to do such a ridiculous thing?
This is really trying to trick him, King Jing, into death!
Dong Mingyue sighed secretly while comforting Li Yuanjing.
When Fang Jun commented on the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, he once said that Yuan Benchu was "cowardly and timid, always scheming, doing big things without sacrificing his own life, and forgetting his life for small gains. He is not a hero." However, if this sentence were to be applied to Li Yuanjing, it would be inappropriate.
It’s also extremely relevant.
He is noble and intelligent, but he is indecisive and lacks the courage to kill and decisively. He does not have Cao Mengde's fierce and domineering attitude of "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me". How can such a person achieve great things?
But her adoptive father chose His Highness King Jing, what could she do?
Just like the adoptive father had placed his hope on the Liao people to stir up trouble and harm the Tang Dynasty, he could only cooperate silently and could not have any ideas of his own.
In fact, she hates this kind of life like a mouse living in a dark corner.
The Great Sui Dynasty has long been dispersed like smoke and clouds yesterday, so why bother devoting your whole life to a collapsed dynasty that was lost in the dust?
This has become increasingly difficult to accept for Dong Mingyue, who has never experienced the Great Sui Dynasty, let alone received any favors from the Great Sui Dynasty.
The only thing that supports her now is the kindness of her adoptive father.
While her heart was ups and downs, her thoughts were turning. Dong Mingyue gathered her mood and asked the general beside her: "Where is He Qian Chengji now?"
The general shook his head and said: "Jingzhao Mansion has sealed off the entire West Market, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, so we can't know the news inside. However, the family's informant at the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen has just sent back a message, saying that it is
The patrol has already arrested several thieves disguised as beggars..."
Li Yuanjing suddenly couldn't sit still, and his butt felt like it was on fire.
This must be He Gan Chengji!
I know that guy very well. He has some intelligence and good martial arts, but he is frivolous and has no toughness. I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand torture to extract a confession.
I must get him out of Jingzhao Mansion before he confesses, otherwise once he is sentenced, he will not be able to endure it and everything will be over...
