Chapter seven hundred and fifty-fifth one man seeks the country
There were shouts of killing in Ruyi Square all day long, and no one nearby could not hear such loud noises.
At this moment, the third prince Zhao Jing came with several servants and his entourage on horseback. When he heard the sound that sounded like a fight on the battlefield, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
"Is there really a fight?"
Zhao Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally crossed the crowd, passed through the guards of the Forbidden Army, and arrived at the gate of Ruyifang, only to see a group of Forbidden Army falling at the door, disemboweling them, breaking their arms and limbs, and cracking their heads.
Open, red and white flowed all over the ground, and blood covered the surface of the nearby canal.
dyed red.
Seeing this scene, he almost wanted to vomit, but he still covered his face with his sleeves and resisted the urge to vomit.
"Here, what on earth is going on?" Zhao Jing shouted.
Although I know clearly in my heart, I still pretend to be confused.
"Your Highness, why are you here? Xu Bao, a low-ranking official, is here to meet Your Highness." When General Yaksha Xu Bao saw the third prince actually coming, he couldn't help being surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"It's General Yasha. I heard that my father wanted to kill Li Xiuyuan, so I came here to see him off. Why did these good-looking people get into a fight and kill so many people?" Zhao Jingdao.
Xu Bao said: "Master Zhao brought Zuo Qianhu and the imperial decree to Ruyifang to declare the decree. Because Li Xiuyuan refused to obey the decree and was unwilling to be executed, Zuo Qianhu had no choice but to lead his own people to arrest Li Xiuyuan, but he never thought of Li Xiuyuan's side.
There are many people with high martial arts skills, but Zuo Qianhu and others are not
My opponent, it is really shameful for me to do things poorly in my humble position."
Zhao Jing's expression changed, and he said again: "Where is Zhao Yong who announced the decree? Where did he go? Why didn't he see Zhao Yong coming?"
"Mr. Zhao was frightened and is now in a state of shock and confusion. He is so humble that he was taken away." Xu Bao said.
"So, Li Xiuyuan is still in Ruyi Square?" Zhao Jing said.
"Yes."
Xu Bao hesitated for a moment and said: "Ruyifang is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is backed by the canal and cannot be surrounded from all sides. I am just trying to ask the officials for instructions on whether to attack by fire."
If the fire comes down and Ruyifang is burned down, there will naturally be no need to sacrifice so many people for a strong attack.
This is the best and fastest way.
Zhao Jing looked cold and shouted: "That's ridiculous, have you forgotten about the fire in the south of the city last month? If the fire happens together and causes a fire, will you bear the blame? Get out of my way, my prince, I have to go to Ruyi Square for a walk.
, personally advised Li Xiuyuan to reduce casualties for the imperial court."
"Your Highness, no, this place has become like a battlefield, with swords and guns without eyesight. If the third prince is hurt, he will not be able to bear the responsibility of his humble position." Xu Bao said in shock.
"Hmph, if you can capture Li Xiuyuan, why do you need me to risk it myself? Get out of the way. Who dares to stop me? Don't blame me for the ruthlessness of my sword." As he said this, Zhao Jing also tremblingly pulled out the gold-plated and gem-inlaid sword from his waist.
The sword, with a bit of lust and fierceness in it, said.
The reason he wanted to go to Ruyifang was because he saw Li Xiuyuan's strength. He was able to stop the siege of two thousand forbidden troops. This battle between trapped beasts showed that he must have a backup plan.
Since there is an opportunity, if you don’t take risks now, when will you wait?
Moreover, Li Xiuyuan also personally invited him to Ruyifang, and he believed that Li Xiuyuan would not kill him.
"Your Highness, what should we do if Li Xiuyuan takes His Highness as hostage?" Xu Bao continued to persuade.
Zhao Jing said angrily, "I'm not the prince, so what's the use of Li Xiuyuan taking me as hostage? My prince has made up his mind, you don't need to say more."
After saying that, he plucked up the courage and walked towards Ruyifang where corpses were strewn all the way.
"Since Your Highness insists on this, I would like to go with Your Highness." Yaksha General Xu Bao gritted his teeth and said.
Something happened to a prince, and his general was in trouble.
"This will help General." Zhao Jing did not refuse.
There were corpses all over the ground, the pungent smell of blood, and the dead Imperial Guards wail in pain on the ground.
The pampered Zhao Jing never thought that one day he would do such a bloody scene, but for the unbearable ambition in his heart, he risked his life and took the risk to see Li Xiuyuan.
He has already thought about it. Even if things don't work out, he can still get a good reputation. In the eyes of his father, he is also a person who has made a contribution to easing this turmoil, and he will definitely be praised.
If it can be done.
Maybe he can really see the real dragon picture before his eyes
Holding back the vomiting and nausea in his stomach, his whole body was shaking with every step he took. If Xu Bao hadn't been holding him up, he would have collapsed on the ground.
Zhao Jing's face turned pale and he covered his face with his sleeves before he walked to the gate of Ruyifang.
Before he entered, he was greeted by a big man like an iron tower, and dozens of swords and guns around him. The murderous aura was frightening, and Zhao Jing was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away.
"Is it the third prince here? Wu Xiang asked them to come in." Li Xiuyuan's voice came from Ruyi Square.
"The eldest young master will let you in." Wu Xiang said in a low voice.
"Man, thank you." Zhao Jing finally mustered up some courage and walked into Ruyi Square where the smell of blood was pungent.
What surprised him was that after walking through a road littered with corpses, he saw Li Xiuyuan, only to find him neatly dressed and sitting on a stool. Beside him were the charming beauties from Ruyifang serving tea, as well as highly skilled stewards.
Playing the piano, with an elegant and tranquil look, and a few feet away from each other
bloody and out of place.
"You can only taste the delicious tea brewed by the beauties of Ruyifang after walking through the bloody road full of corpses. Third Prince, you are a little late, so please take a seat." Li Xiuyuan took a look and smiled softly.
His expression and posture did not look like he was trapped here, but rather he looked like a commander who was sitting in a big tent and about to win the battle.
Zhao Jing was moved by this calmness and determination.
Zhao Jing took a deep breath. He was shaking all over. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or fear. He walked over carefully, sat down and said: "Li, Mr. Li, what do you want to do? It's not good to go against the imperial court.
The end is better for you to surrender. This prince, in view of past kindness,
I am willing to keep your family safe."
"Third Prince, please have tea." Li Xiuyuan gestured.
On the side, Lian Xiang's beautiful eyes were filled with smiles and she walked over and poured him a cup of freshly brewed tea.
"Don't the Third Prince already know what I'm going to do? I'm just here to invite the Third Prince to Ruyifang to admire the True Dragon Picture." Li Xiuyuan said: "I just don't know if the Third Prince has the guts to appreciate it. Please."
Zhao Jing picked up the teacup on the table but found that the steaming tea had gone cold. He wanted to drink it but put it down again; "But I, the prince, did not see Mr. Li splashing ink on the painting."
"Use blood as ink, mountains and rivers as paintings, and the dragon in the palace. This is the real dragon picture I want to make. I want to finish this painting today, but I don't know if you want it, Third Prince."
Zhao Jing's heart trembled, his hand shook, and he almost spilled the tea.
"You, what are you talking about, I don't understand."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I have learned a lot since I was a child, but I haven't learned much about scheming, so I speak very directly. Although sometimes it is easy to offend people, sometimes I am quite likable. Since the third prince pretends to be confused, it doesn't matter. I
Just be straightforward."
After saying that, he stood up, smiled softly and said: "If you help me break into the palace, I will make you the emperor."
"Li Xiuyuan, you!" Yaksha General Xu Bao was shocked when he heard this, but before he could finish his words, he was surrounded by Wu Xiang and others. It seemed that if he said another word, they would be killed immediately.
Zhao Jing was covered in cold sweat and his heart was beating wildly.
Sure enough, it was true, Li Xiuyuan's plan was really so big.
"Why, why, is it me?" His palms holding the tea cup turned white from nervousness, and he tremblingly said this after a while.
"Yeah, why you?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed with emotion: "Actually, it doesn't matter who is the emperor of the Song Dynasty to me. As long as someone named Zhao continues to kill the few remaining national fortunes, it can be your third prince today, or
It can be the fourth prince or the fifth prince, but you are lucky.
After getting to know me, he showed some ambition, so I gave it a try."
Zhao Jing raised his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan in horror.
He understood the meaning of Li Xiuyuan's words.
Even if he doesn't agree, Li Xiuyuan will still enter the palace today, and will support other princes to ascend the throne as emperor. As long as there is an ambitious prince, he will choose to cooperate with Li Xiuyuan.
But when that time comes, those princes and other princes will be in trouble.
Therefore, from the moment Zhao Jing entered Ruyifang, he had no choice.
As a prince, although he had been pampered since childhood and was not very courageous, his mind was not confused and he quickly figured out what was going on.
"You, how did you do it?" Zhao Jing asked tremblingly.
"Look." Li Xiuyuan pointed to the tea channel on the table.
"What?"
Zhao Jing looked at the cup of tea with confusion and confusion.
Li Xiuyuan smiled; "The tea is rippling. Do you know what this means on the battlefield?"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A dull sound like rolling thunder came from far and near, coming here.
"I have two thousand fine cavalry who came to the capital with me, and I placed them somewhere ten miles away from the capital. Just when I came to Ruyifang, I asked someone to transfer this cavalry to the capital. Counting the time, now
It's almost time to come from the south gate." Li Xiuyuan said, "Third Prince, do you hear this?
It’s the roar of iron hoofs on the ground and the neighing of war horses.”
"Didn't you expect it to happen today?" Zhao Jing said in shock.
Li Xiuyuan said, "I'm not a god. How do I know that your father wants to kill me today? All I know is that the imperial court is stupid. I, a powerless person, came to the capital to report on my duties, and I also took over a state, and everyone in the court."
You must be jealous, the two thousand fine knights are just a means to save your life, just in case, I guess
After all, there are not many soldiers in the capital, and my two thousand elite cavalry can gallop around, so it is not difficult to break into the imperial city."
"But even so, what will you do with King Qin's general troops? The army guarding the border will go south at any time." Zhao Jing stood up and said with some excitement.
Li Xiuyuan got the tea and drank it in one gulp; "I have ordered Han Meng, no, Han Shizhong will go back to Yangzhou first, lead 20,000 cavalry and go north immediately, and 50,000 elite troops will be ready to move at the right time. The third prince feels that the Qinwang's general troops from all walks of life are quick.
Or will my Li family's cavalry be faster? By then, the rice will be ready for cooking, the throne will change, and the three emperors will
When you become the emperor, won’t you be able to deal with these general soldiers and border troops? There is no dynasty change in the world, so those general soldiers will not be radical."
"Then you, Master Li, what do you want?" Zhao Jing swallowed, his head going crazy.
It works, it works.
This Li Xiuyuan really has the means to seek the country. He has arranged everything. If he cooperates with him, the throne will be his.
Hearing the increasingly clear sound of iron hoofbeats and hissing, he felt impatient.
"I don't have big ambitions. I just want to be the governor of Yangzhou, Guangzong Yaozu, and satisfy my father's expectations. I have no interest in this country. As long as you don't imitate Song Taizu, I won't be able to raise an army, and your surname will still be Zhao in the world." Li Xiuyuan said lightly.
Zhao Jing's face turned red when he heard this, and he drank the tea that he had held for a long time in one gulp: Let's fight.
"Okay, I promise you, what do you want me to do?"
If you don’t take it now, wait for when.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Zhao Jing, smiled softly, pointed at General Yasha and said: "You can't do anything without soldiers. Why don't the third prince try to recruit Xu Bao and recruit the imperial army outside. You are the prince and there are some things you can do better than me.
The effect is a hundred times better.”
"Thank you, Mr. Li. I will recruit Xu Bao right now."
Zhao Jing was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Li Xiuyuan was trying to expand his wings, otherwise these people would have been killed.
