The first thousand six hundred and seventy-two chapters kill No. 1 (six)
(Thanks very much to ‘Brother Nian with a Knife’ and ‘Book Friends 38965322’ for their monthly votes and rewards.)
The sound of the trumpet can be regarded as a notification to the personnel in the imperial city that the target has entered the city, so that they can be prepared to intercept and surround him.
Of course, the more important thing is to report it to Li Shimin, so as to avoid being recklessly touched by No. 1 and carrying out a beheading operation, which would be the end of the game.
"As expected of the person Wang Junlin wanted to exchange for at all costs, this King of Killers is really terrifying." Li Shimin used a telescope on the seven-story pagoda to watch King of Killers No. 1 from a distance as he jumped off the city wall and entered the imperial city.
, disappeared from his sight, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn.
However, Li Shimin was Li Shimin after all, and he was not frightened at all, because he was very well prepared for today's situation of besieging the No. 1 Killer King.
No matter when, Li Shimin behaved very calmly, even possessing calm and strong confidence.
Li Shimin's calm but murderous eyes followed the main passage under the seven-story pagoda that led directly to the front hall of the palace, and looked towards the south gate of the imperial city where the sound of fighting began again.
He knew that Killer King No. 1 would definitely come from there, because his current target was him.
By luring the other party with the kind of jade he cares about most, it is actually equivalent to using himself as bait.
At this time, the imperial guards in the imperial city were using their own flesh and blood to tenaciously prevent the No. 1 Killer King from approaching Li Shimin.
It was similar to the process of blocking the No. 1 Killer King by three thousand infantrymen outside the Imperial City. In fact, it was using corpses to delay No. 1's footsteps, consume its energy, and make its vision darker.
In any case, even if these imperial guards stand there and let the No. 1 Killer King kill him, the latter will still take a lot of time and a lot of effort, not to mention that what he is facing now is to intercept and kill him desperately.
An elite soldier who has fought many battles.
Killer King No. 1 is still expressionless as before.
Killing people indifferently and calmly, but there were so many people in front of him that he even felt that no matter how many people he killed, someone would always come out to stop him, and he didn't know how long it would take to kill, and every time he killed he would consume himself.
some energy.
"Li Shimin wants to drain my energy." At this moment, the No. 1 Killer King suddenly had a realization.

It was raining in Chang'an City, but the weather was fine and cloudless in Longguan.
On the majestic city wall of Longguan, Shangguan Hu, who had been appointed by Wang Junlin as the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army's northwest army, looked at the mountains to the southeast with an indifferent expression.
His eyes passed through the mountains and rivers and landed on Heifengguan City, which had only been built for a year.
Thinking that Hou Junji, who was originally stationed in Heifeng Pass, had died in Sichuan, he was full of confidence in conquering this pass, which was not inferior to Long Pass.
Originally, he had already sent a large army to clean up several Tang army strongholds outside Heifeng Pass. He even used gunpowder packets to break through the three lines of defense that Hou Junji had previously deployed in front of Heifeng Pass. Then he prepared to start a prairie fire.
He was heading straight towards Black Wind Pass, but unexpectedly the prince's secret order of flying eagle came, telling him to cease fighting and wait for the order.
Shangguan Hu had no choice but to order a ceasefire and wait for new orders.
Wang Junlin's order did not explain why the truce was necessary. Although Shangguan Hu and Jiang Mulang in Longguan City were confused and secretly complained that the great opportunity had been wasted, they still did not dare to disobey Wang Junlin's order at all.
………
………
At the same time, Luo Shixin and Pei Yuanqing led an army of 100,000 from Hedong to outside Tongguan City.
The central commander of Tongguan City was Li Xiaogong, and his grandfather Li Wei was the seventh son of Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, the original Duke of Tang Dynasty (Li Shimin's grandfather Li Bing was the third son of Li Hu).
Li Yuan launched an army to rebel in Taiyuan. After conquering Chang'an City two years ago, he issued an edict to appoint him as the Ambassador of Shannan Road. Because he was a member of his family, he won Li Yuan's trust and asked him to lead his troops to patrol the Tongguan area and garrison Tongguan City.
However, in the original history, after Li Yuan raised his army, Li Xiaogong was responsible for the management of Bashu. Later, with the help of Li Jing, he destroyed Xiao Xian's Liang State and assisted Gongyou. All areas south of the Yangtze River were under his command, and his military achievements could almost rival Li Shimin's.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he withdrew from the center of power and entertained himself with singing and dancing beauties. In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, he died of a sudden illness and was posthumously named the Prince of Hejian County.
Now, Li Shimin killed his brother and then his father, and forced the palace to rebel. Li Xiaogong naturally knew that the envoy sent by Li Shimin was still in Tongguan City, but he did not summon him.
Because he is still struggling and hesitating.
Li Xiaogong was naturally extremely angry about what Li Shimin had done, but he also knew that his distant nephew Li Shimin was actually more suitable to be a master than his father Li Yuan.
Especially when faced with a powerful enemy like the Far East Army, and a tyrant like Wang Junlin, Li Yuan's abilities may be over sooner or later, but with Li Shimin's talents, it may still be possible to win the world.
But after all, Li Xiaogong was promoted and promoted by Li Yuan. Although his surname was Li, he was actually a distant relative of Li Yuan, so he could ignore Li Shimin's murder of his brother, but he was actually very angry when Li Shimin killed Li Yuan.
Therefore, he has been hesitating over the past two days whether to pledge allegiance to Li Shimin.
However, he couldn't care about it for the time being.
A choice has been made, because the Far Eastern Army's army has arrived outside Tongguan City, and both sides may start the most bloody and cruel siege battle at any time.
Although there were some doubts as to why the Far Eastern Army suddenly stationed outside Tongguan City, only preparing to attack the city but delaying the attack, Li Xiaogong still ordered all-out preparations to defend the city.
At this time, Li Xiaogong looked at the Far Eastern Army camp a few miles outside Tongguan City. He couldn't help but squint his eyes. He gently stroked the scabbard beside him with his palm and watched as ants moved around him quickly, preparing to attack.
The soldiers who were guarding the city with weapons and equipment couldn't help but sigh as they felt the tense and panic atmosphere filling the city.
One hundred thousand Far Eastern Army troops have arrived outside Tongguan City. How long can this Xiongguan Pass, known as the gateway to the eastern border of Guanxi Province, be able to withstand it?
Although Li Xiaogong considered himself a famous general and was as good as any general in the world in training and fighting, facing the Far Eastern Army, he was under too much pressure.
There was no way, the Far Eastern Army's reputation as a strong force was really loud. The past achievements were there, and it was not like he had never seen those legendary terrifying weapons and equipment. The gap between them was really too big.
Sighing secretly, Li Xiaogong shook his head, called over a few generals under his command, and told them to make solid defensive preparations, especially to be prepared for the opponent to blow up the city wall. After that, he turned around and climbed down the city wall.
Came to his mansion in Tongguan City.
He was going to have a good talk with the envoys sent by Li Shimin to see how sincere Li Shimin was towards him, so that he could make judgments about the next things.
………
………
Outside Tongguan City, the Far Eastern Army camp is in the commander's tent.
Coach Luo Shixinhe and deputy coach Pei Yuanqing were drinking wine. There was a barbecue stove in front of them. They were grilling mutton skewers, eating meat and drinking wine.
Ever since Wang Junlin built a barbecue stove in Chang'an City many years ago and even blew up the Spring and Autumn Messenger to death while eating barbecue, generals at all levels under Wang Junlin have taken to eating barbecue on skewers.
Unlike Shangguan Hu, Luo Shixin and Pei Yuanqing knew why Wang Junlin ordered a temporary truce.
Because, after all, their relationship with Nie Xiaoyu is different, or a little bit special.
Luo Shixin is Nie Xiaoyu's apprentice. Although he has a very good talent, all his skills were taught by Nie Xiaoyu.
And Pei Yuanqing is a tragedy in front of Nie Xiaoyu.
There was no way, Pei Yuanqing had unrequited love from beginning to end, and it was unrequited love that lasted for more than ten years.
Ever since he met Nie Xiaoyu sixteen years ago, he had been completely obsessed with it and couldn't extricate himself.
He was eighteen years old at the time. He was a world-famous martial arts prodigy and a leader of the younger generation in the Sui Dynasty. Wen liked the Pei family's pride, noble status and handsome appearance.
At that time, he even felt a little ashamed when facing Nie Xiaoyu.
Nowadays, he has changed from a cute little boy whom everyone loves to an uncle with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face, but the goddess in his heart is still eighteen years old, still so perfect, and still so indifferent to him.
.
And why it is said to be a tragedy is because Pei Yuanqing is in his thirties and has not yet married a wife, not even a concubine. In future generations, this is equivalent to being in his forties and not getting married yet. You must know that in these days
It is normal to have grandchildren in your thirties.

Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.
The King of Killers No. 1 has been killing people for more than an hour. From the beginning he was an ordinary imperial guard, and in the end he gradually became a warrior in the foundation-building stage, and then a master in the stagnant stage.
And his eyes became darker and darker, which was a sign that too much energy was consumed in a short period of time.
At some point, his body's reaction seemed a little slower than at first. This was a sign that his body was about to be overloaded after continuous high-speed and high-intensity exercise.
Finally, at a certain moment, the No. 1 Killer King was slashed by a master in the stagnant stage before he died.
With the first sword, there is the second sword, and even the third sword.
He begins to get injured, and after being injured, the reaction speed of the body's functions will slow down and the amount of energy consumed will increase.
For the Forbidden Army soldiers and bodyguard masters, it was an exciting thing to see this monster-like and terrifying figure in front of them finally injured.
In addition, the reward given by Li Shimin in advance for this matter was very, very heavy.
All of a sudden, all the bodyguard masters began to work hard.
According to what Li Shimin said before, not to mention killing the opponent, as long as he can cut the target with a knife, it is a great achievement. For ordinary guards, it is already a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.
Li Shimin, who was on the top of the seven-story pagoda, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the No. 1 Killer King was finally injured, and his injuries were getting more and more serious.
"He is not a god after all, so Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin will not be gods either. They will die after all." Li Shimin murmured to himself. He had been fearless since he was a child, but when he grew up, he cared about the world and always thought that there was no such thing as a god.
No matter what could be difficult for him, no one could stand above him. However, in a series of battles with the Far Eastern Army, his repeated failures almost cast a shadow in his heart.
Finally, after another half an hour, Killer King No. 1 finally
Yu came to the bottom of the seven-story pagoda.
Li Shimin stood high above him, lowering his head and looking at the lonely figure of the somewhat staggering Killer King No. 1 slowly walking over in the drizzle. Although his expression remained as usual, he couldn't help but feel tense in his heart.
"After all, this king of killers broke through thousands of troops from outside the imperial city, climbed over the high imperial city wall, penetrated half of the palace, and came to himself."
The drizzle was still dripping on the still young and perfect cheek. Although the thin sword he held tightly in his hand had killed countless people, it still could not retain a drop of blood. It was dark and smooth.
.
But there was an aura that reeked of blood all over his body. That was because his originally dark clothes had turned blood red.
His clothes were stained red with blood and even soaked with hot blood.
After killing countless Forbidden Army soldiers and masters of imperial guards, the No. 1 Killer King finally walked here step by step from the entrance to the south gate of the imperial city.
Even the seemingly indestructible thin sword, after piercing the hard armor on countless hearts and piercing countless throats, the tip of the sword was no longer sharp and the sword body began to become curved.
Although King Killer No. 1 is not a human being, he is not a god or a devil after all.
Facing thousands of troops and attacking with all possible means, the No. 1 Killer King was injured after all, and now it seems that his injuries are not serious.
His right leg has been twisted, which makes him walk with a slight limp. He is not as stable as before, and his speed will definitely be affected.
His left arm was even stabbed with several knives. Although no blood flowed out, the bones inside could be seen. However, the bones had been dyed red by the enemy's blood, and it was unknown what their original color was.
The most important thing is that his eyes are far less bright than before.
Li Shimin used human sea tactics and wheel tactics to successfully injure the No. 1 Killer King, causing him to consume a huge amount of energy.
…………
…………
In the drizzle, Killer King No. 1 raised his head, looked above where Li Shimin was, and limped toward the seven-story pagoda, looking so lonely and tragic.
If the injuries on his body were to others, even if they were not unconscious, they would still be in unbearable pain if they wanted to continue walking, but for him, he naturally didn't feel anything.
Li Shimin lowered his head and quietly looked at Killer King No. 1, who was getting closer and closer to the seven-story pagoda, and suddenly said: "King of Killers, in fact, I lied to you. The kind of jade you want,
The king has not found it."
When the King of Killers No. 1 heard this, he suddenly stopped and stared at Li Shimin with his eyes. Although no other changes could be seen except for the change in the brightness of the light, Li Shimin still clearly felt it from his eyes.
Soaring anger and murderous intent.
Even when Li Shimin looked into the eyes of the King of Killers No. 1, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. However, he still didn't show anything on his face and continued to say calmly: "So, I don't have what you need in my hands now."
, you can try to escape, otherwise you will definitely die if you try to get close to me."
The King of Killers No. 1 was reminded by Li Shimin, and he immediately regained his senses. He stood there, seemingly caught in a conflict. His target was that kind of jade, because that kind of jade could keep him alive, but now Li Shimin didn't have it.
With that kind of jade, it seemed that there was no need for him to kill Li Shimin.
After all, he is not a human being. Although he has super computing power, he has the hardest body in the world, the most precise control ability, the fastest speed, the most agile body, and all kinds of weird and magical abilities, but when he is playing
After all, he can't compare to others in terms of mentality, let alone someone like Li Shimin.
Due to this delay and hesitation, three hundred master guards from all directions finally arrived and once again surrounded the No. 1 Killer King.
These three hundred people are the last batch of forces Li Shimin prepared for Killer King No. 1.
Among them, there are only six masters in the breaking stage, more than forty masters in the stagnation stage, and all the others are warriors in the foundation building stage.
The King of Killers No. 1 was actually in a dilemma at this time. On the one hand, he rationally told him that there was no need to kill Li Shimin. The most important thing now was to escape from the palace as soon as possible.
However, some emotions or human emotions that he had developed over countless years prompted him to really, really want to kill Li Shimin, because he had never hated a human being so much.
Of course, the most important thing is that the No. 1 Killer King suddenly understood that Li Shimin had set up such a big plot just to kill him, and he would definitely not let him go unless he could get in front of Li Shimin and capture him alive.
Take him as a hostage.
So, Killer King No. 1 moved.
He dragged his twisted right leg and rushed towards the seven-story pagoda.
And almost at the moment he moved, the three hundred master guards surrounding him also moved.
"Kill!" The seven masters at the front shouted in unison, and at the same time, the weapons in their hands stabbed, chopped, hacked, or smashed towards the body of the No. 1 Killer King from seven directions!
