In terms of official position, Jin Xiaowu was only half a rank lower than Li Yuanpeng. There were currently three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and there were one thousand under his control. If he had colluded with the Sui people, the city gates would have been opened long ago, and Baishan County would have been breached by the Sui people.
What a feat it was to tear up Wang Junlin's autographed letter and directly cut off his retreat. But when the rumors started to spread, he stooped to explain, but before he could speak, Li Yuanpeng showed such an expression that he was clearly attracted to him.
Doubt and suspicion.
Jin Xiaowu suddenly felt angry in his heart, and his tone became stiff, and he said slowly: "Li Yuanpeng, are you doubting me again?"
Li Yuanpeng said with no expression on his face: "What have you done to dare to say that I doubt you?"
Jin Xiaowu burst out laughing. Suddenly, he stopped laughing, looked at Li Yuanpeng and said coldly: "I, Jin Xiaowu, have a clear conscience. If you doubt me, there is nothing you can do about it."
After saying that, Jin Xiaowu snorted heavily, waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
He took dozens of guards and got on his horse and drove away. Li Yuanpeng stared at Jin Xiaowu's back with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Jin Xiaowu had colluded with the Sui people and he had to kill him.
…
…
Jin Xiaowu returned to his house and gradually calmed down. After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood that this might be a estrangement plan by the Sui people. He sighed and thought to himself: "It seems that I have to go see Li Yuanpeng and make things clear."
, otherwise you will really fall into the Sui people’s scheme.”
At the same time, Li Yuanpeng summoned his confidants in the army to plot in the house.
…
In the evening, Baishan County had already implemented a curfew, and the streets were very quiet. A dark figure hurriedly walked along the corner of the house. He soon came to Jin Xiaowu's house and reported to Jin Xiaowu: "General, I have received the news, General Li.
The general may be summoned to a banquet tonight, and then people will be ambushed and plot to kill the general."
"What, Li Yuanpeng actually acted like this, damn it." Jin Xiaowu was so angry that his face turned livid.
At this moment, a servant came over with an invitation and handed it to Jin Xiaowu: "General Qi, the Li family has sent an invitation. General, please come to the banquet tonight."
"General, you can't go!" the leader of Jin Xiaowu's soldiers cried out.
Jin Xiaowu's expression changed. After a while, he let out a long sigh and said decisively: "I can't go if I don't go. If I don't go, it will make me feel guilty. But I have to make some preparations."
…
…
At night, a banquet was set up at Li Yuanpeng's house and Jin Xiaowu was invited to the banquet.
The banquet was placed in the front hall, and there were many faint sounds of breathing coming from the dark corners around, and an unconcealable murderous aura filled the inner house.
The inner hall was also brightly lit. In the small room of the inner hall, several guards were dressing Li Yuanpeng in fine scale armor. Li Yuanpeng put a sharp dagger on his waist, and the guards put a red robe on Li Yuanpeng.
He put it on, and the long robe covered the scale armor he wore underneath.
After putting on his clothes, Li Yuanpeng asked: "Has Jin Xiaowu arrived?"
"Report to the general, he hasn't arrived yet."
"Send someone to hurry up again!" Li Yuanpeng's eyes flashed and he said with an unhappy look on his face.
One of the aides said: "General, you can't be Cui. If you push me, Jin Xiaowu might become suspicious and he might not come."
Li Yuanpeng thought for a moment and said: "Then let's stop urging him and send someone to keep an eye on him. If Jin Xiaowu leaves the house, he will report back immediately."
…
…
Jin Xiaowu came to Li Yuanpeng's house with fifty carefully selected powerful soldiers. Li Yuanpeng greeted him at the door. He said with a smile from a distance: "Vice General Jin, I was reckless this afternoon. I will think about it carefully tonight."
, this may be a conspiracy of the Sui people to drive a wedge between you and me."
Although Jin Xiaowu suspected that this might be what Li Yuanpeng said on purpose, he still said with some excitement: "General Li just understands. To be honest with General Li, my subordinates came up to see General Li tonight just to give a good explanation."
While talking, the group entered Li Yuanpeng's house, and Jin Xiaowu was secretly vigilant.
At this time, Li Yuanpeng's family members hurried over and said, "Sir, my wife suddenly fainted. Please come over."
Li Yuanpeng turned to Jin Xiaowu and said, "Sorry, I'll come as soon as I go. Vice General Jin will take a seat in the living room first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jin Xiaowu to say anything, Li Yuanpeng followed the family and strode towards the backyard.
Jin Xiaowu hesitated for a moment and stood still, because he found that as Li Yuanpeng left, the place they were in was quiet and quiet, with no one in the Li family visible, and there were only four high walls and two doors at the front and back.
Just when he was feeling bad, two courtyard doors suddenly slammed shut, and dark soldiers appeared on the wall. There were hundreds of them, all holding crossbows. Jin Xiaowu was shocked and thought that he had been fooled. Fortunately, he and Wu
The ten soldiers all wore iron armor under their robes and also carried crossbows.
He shouted loudly, raised his hand, and a loud arrow flew into the air from his sleeve, making a piercing scream. Then he hid in the corner with fifty soldiers, prepared for a counterattack, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, hold on
Stay, as long as we hold on for twenty breaths, our people will come to save us."
Jin Xiaowu arranged for people to be in the military camp in advance. If Li Yuanpeng really ambushed someone to kill him, he would send out a ringing arrow to notify him. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanpeng really wanted to kill him, but he underestimated Li Yuanpeng's ambush method. It was not certain whether he could hold out until his troops arrived.
Already.
At this moment, there was a soft bang of a clapper, and arrows were fired from the four walls. Although Jin Xiaowu and the others were well prepared, hundreds of arrows were fired at close range, and a quarter of his soldiers were hit by arrows at once, and
They are all poisonous arrows. If you are hit by an arrow, you will die.
Although Jin Xiaowu led people to fight back, the difference in numbers was too great. In addition, the opponent was condescending and blocked by walls, and they were almost all exposed to the opponent's arrows.
So after five rounds of poisonous arrows were fired from the wall, all the soldiers around Jin Xiaowu were dead, the crossbowmen slowly dispersed, the courtyard door opened, and Li Yuanpeng walked in from outside the courtyard. He looked at the pale Jin Xiaowu, coldly
He sneered and said: "Jin Xiaowu, it's not me who is unjust, but you dare to collude with the Sui people. For the sake of our past friendship, I will leave you a whole body..."
However, at this moment, a thin silver shadow suddenly shot out from the garden next to it, and instantly bit Li Yuanpeng's neck. The latter let out a scream, fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and his eyes widened.
He closed his eyes and died just like that.
And the silvery shadow flashed away, fell into the flowers and disappeared.
Li Yuanpeng's subordinates were suddenly shocked. Someone shouted: "It was Jin Xiaowu who used a poisonous trick to kill the general. Kill him to avenge the general."
A shower of arrows came over and turned Jin Xiaowu, who was about to say something, into a hedgehog.
At this time, Jin Xiaowu's subordinates also came from the military camp and fought in a chaotic mass with Li Yuanpeng's people who were ambushing here.
At the same time, in the backyard of Li Yuanpeng's house, a small silver snake got into the sleeve of a maid in the kitchen.
