King Loulan looked ferocious and painful at this time. He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "If you have the ability, please give me a pleasure! How can a man from the Western Regions be insulted like this?!"
Li Xun stared at him and said coldly: "You want to die so easily? I will not agree to it! In these few days, I will make you unable to survive or die!"
After saying that, he kicked King Loulan in the stomach, causing King Loulan to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Three moments later, King Loulan no longer had the weapon to struggle and resist. He was lying on the ground with his hair disheveled, and blood was flowing out from his seven orifices.
It's hard to imagine what kind of torture King Loulan endured in these short three moments.
At this time, a long sword was inserted into King Loulan's hand that was beaten to a bloody pulp by the fire gun. The sword penetrated King Loulan's right hand and the floor, and half of the blade was engulfed, nailing King Loulan to the quiet room.
middle.
After Li Xun came out of the quiet room, he ordered his spies placed in the princess's mansion to take turns guarding King Loulan.
It can still be so peaceful outside now. It can be seen that outsiders still don't know the current situation of King Loulan, but it may be determined after one night. It seems that we need to start something in advance. It is best to do it tonight!
Otherwise, if King Loulan, who is now tortured to death, is found, both he and Mingyue will be held responsible.
In the main house
After some comfort from Xu Qing, Li Mingyue had obviously recovered from the fear just now and was refilling tea for the three people sitting at the round table.
After pouring the tea, Li Mingyue sat on the seat between Xu Qing and Li Xun.
Xu Qing nodded without refuting. Perhaps Li Xun was still not fully prepared at this time, but there was not much time left for him to prepare.
Li Xun looked at Li Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, go get some refreshments."
When Li Mingyue heard Li Xun's words, she stood up and walked out.
Xiao Ye on the side looked at such a well-behaved and sensible Li Mingyue with an expression of disbelief.
He is also an elder brother, how did Li Xun manage to make his sister obey him so much?
Xiao Ye was shocked for a whole year!
Outside the princess mansion
When the prince and the third princess passed by the princess mansion, the prince looked at the concierge and asked, "Hasn't King Loulan come out yet?"
The porter said, "Reporting to His Majesty the Crown Prince, there is no such thing."
The third princess couldn't help but look proud when she heard what the porter said: "If such a scandal is spread, I don't see how she, Li Mingyue, will have the honor to live in the world in the future."
The prince smiled and said, "Loulan is a friendly neighbor of Zhou State, how can you be so careless? Let's go, so as not to spoil King Loulan's mood."
When the third princess heard what the prince said, she followed the prince and left.
On the way back, the third princess looked at the prince and asked: "Brother, if we secretly spread Li Mingyue's misconduct, Loulan will break off the engagement. Do you think Li Mingyue's reputation in the capital will be ruined by then?"
The prince smiled and said, "What a good idea. A commoner wants to be the concubine of Loulan? She is really beautiful. After King Loulan leaves later, I will send a few people to climb over the wall. Li Mingyue will be afraid of him then."
It makes sense but I can’t explain it clearly.”
The third princess said, "That's right, looking at someone who is sick all day long makes people upset."
…
Li Xun looked at Xu Qing and said: "Now the situation is extremely critical, and we don't wait for time! So I plan to take action tonight!"
Just after Li Mingyue left, Li Xun suddenly stood up, knelt down to Xu Qing, and said, "Brother Xu, please lend me your firearm temporarily to help me break through the imperial city."
Xu Qing immediately walked over to help Li Xun up; "Brother Li, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
But with how powerful Li Xun was, Xu Qing couldn't help him at all.
Li Xun said: "Li Xun knows that his demands are too much, but for the sake of the bright moon, Li Xun has no other choice."
At this time, Xu Qing understood why Li Xun had sent away Li Mingyue just now. After all, a brother is like a father, and Li Xun did not want Li Mingyue to see this scene.
Xu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I promise! Li Xun, get up quickly."
After Li Xun stood up, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Xu!"
Xiao Ye looked at Li Xun and said, "The shadow guards carried a lot of finished firearms before this trip, which is definitely enough to break through the imperial city."
Li Xun bowed his hands to Xiao Ye again and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Ye said: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, you have submitted a request to me at this time. When the time comes for the dispute over the prairie territory, it would be best to return it. As the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow something good and borrow it again. There is a back-and-forth.
It will last long.”
Li Xun nodded and said: "This is natural. Our Zhou State owes a debt of gratitude to the Chu State. Without the Chu State, I am afraid that all the Zhou State's troops would have been destroyed in the grasslands. How could they be as prosperous as they are today?"
Xiao Ye said: "Okay, I'll order someone to bring the firearms in."
These firearms are finished products, and since this is a mission, the firearms assembled are also old firearms.
When the wise king came, he considered whether Zhou Guo would steal Chu's firearms and imitate them.
Therefore, the weapons of the Shadow Guards this time are almost as powerful as those of the Zhou Dynasty, and are more than enough to deal with ordinary bandits.
Even if it's stolen, I won't feel bad, the power is the same anyway.
Therefore, Xiao Ye can completely be a smooth favor.
It can not only send away the old emperor of Zhou Dynasty, but also resolve territorial disputes, so why not do it?
It's a good deal, right?
Xiao Ye said: "I will order someone to secretly transport it to Beijing later. However, such a large amount of goods requires many carriages to transport, and the patrols at the city gate will definitely notice it."
Li Xun said, "Don't worry. My men have been guarding the city gate these days. It will be no problem to send it in."
Xiao Ye said: "Then I will ask them to make arrangements and transport it in."
Li Xun nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao. I'll go down and make arrangements. We can't delay this kind of thing."
After Li Mingyue came in with tea, she saw Li Xun standing up to leave. Li Mingyue asked doubtfully: "Brother, are you leaving?"
Li Xun nodded, then turned slightly to look at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, please take Mingyue to your side temporarily. If I lose, I will let Mingyue go back to Chu with you."
After saying that, Li Xun stopped staying and strode away.
Xu Qing took Li Mingyue's hand and did not let Li Mingyue try to dissuade him. He said, "King Loulan was beaten half to death at this time. He has no way out at this time. It would be better to go to his residence with me to reassure Brother Li."
Li Mingyue knew that her brother had to rebel now, and that staying here would only allow people with ulterior motives to seize on her brother's weaknesses. She quickly packed her things, climbed over the courtyard wall with Xu Qing's help, and left the princess mansion.
Although Li Mingyue is weak, she can always make the most correct reaction as quickly as possible.
Tonight, the state of Zhou will completely change!
