Chapter 492
In fact, just when Li's team had just entered the territory of Henan Road, the leader of the ronin who rushed back from Yamamoto Kogoro was in place.
His name is Koizumi, but no one knows whether the surname is his own or whether it was a Japanese man who randomly called him, but it is no longer important to him. He only knows that this is just a code name for himself, and what he really cares about is his own task.
"How is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty now?"
"He has been walking at will, as if he was playing. Except for a small number of imperial guards protecting the carriage, most of them are investigating the carriages. This has caused it to be too difficult to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
One of them, who also wrapped himself tightly, introduced to Koizumi. After all, Koizumi went to Kogoro Yamamoto during this period, and the specific matters were arranged according to what he said before leaving.
"Didn't the matter of following the Tang Emperor as I said before leaving?"
"It is precisely that all the dead soldiers raised by the salt merchants in the Tang Dynasty pretended to be merchants who had traveled and moved, and our ronin was always hiding in the dark. Even if they discovered it, they would only be the people of the Tang Dynasty. They would never find us!"
After hearing this, Koizumi nodded. She was quite satisfied with the implementation of their intentions after she left. The reason why they were able to think about how they assassinated Li Qing was very calmly because the dead soldiers who had been brought from the salt merchants before helped them attract firepower.
"Let them continue to do this. With the ability of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Imperial Guards, they will sooner or later find out that their abnormality is wrong. After discovering it, the beginning of our action will be."
The game between the two sides began after Li Qing discovered some clues.
After entering the territory of Henan Road, the most direct change was that Li Yan and the others were no longer familiar with the path they were taking. They did not know what was going on before, and could only be determined by the rewards of the imperial guards in front.
Li Neng knew in his heart that when he arrived in Henan Road, he had not yet entered the deepest time, it was the most dangerous time for him.
After entering the night, because there were no inns around, Li Qing and his group rested directly in the carriage. This was not the first time they had rested in the carriage. The imperial guards were watching the night not far away, with some on the ground and some on the trees, which seemed quite safe.
However, this night, Li Yi did not sleep in the spacious carriage with Feng Yi as usual, or relaxed his muscles and energy. At this time, the two were sitting opposite each other in unknown places, with their weapons next to him.
"Your Majesty, if these assassins don't come tonight, and if they only come tomorrow, will we stay up all night in vain?"
Feng Yi was somewhat unaware of Li Yi's confidence. After all, they had been so many days before. Since the assassin was here, how could he choose this day?
"They will definitely come tonight. I have confirmed with the soldiers of the Imperial Guard. Only this night, we are the farthest from the city on Henan Road. After tomorrow, once we are attacked, as long as we can send a signal in time, someone will come within one or two hours. Tonight, it is impossible for anyone to know that I am trapped in assassination here within two hours. These people's planning is so sophisticated. If I hadn't been very interested in the merchants who were dealing with them, then I would have paid a little attention to the appearance of these people, they would have been absolutely difficult to find out!"
"Your Majesty think, how many of these assassins are there? What if their number is much higher than the imperial guards under our current command?"
"They don't have many people, they are only at the level of ten or eight!"
"No way, there are six or seven people in the caravan today. Could it be that only one caravan wants to assassinate His Majesty?"
"They will not be the protagonists of this action. The ten or eight I mentioned are the real protagonists of this action. They may really have a little bit of effort, so they will be arranged like this tonight."
"Oh, Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that before I set off, I once said that I have been beautiful since I entered Chang'an City and have had another fight with others. Now this is happening. Could it be because I talk too much?"
"Even if you don't come, I will still be assassinated. When the assassin really comes, don't show off. If you can deal with one, just deal with another. I rely on wisdom to break this situation. It's not about competing with the assassins with whom I have higher martial arts skills. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. They are nothing, and I am not stupid!"
Feng Yi nodded quietly. Although the night was already very deep at this time, there was no sleepiness in her eyes, but she looked at everything in front of her wholeheartedly.
"It's coming!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Qing suddenly said this.
"Well! The sound of birds singing in the distance is gone, and someone is coming in our direction!" Obviously, Feng Yi also heard this.
"Your Majesty, there is a situation!"
Immediately, Lei Wanchun's rapid voice came from Li Qing's ears.
"It's okay, act according to our plan!" Li Qing's body did not move at all, but his hand grabbed the spear beside him. Although it seemed to be sitting there, no one knew what kind of action he would make in the next second.
The sound they heard was not wrong at all. Indeed, a team of dozens of people was rushing towards Li Yan. They ran wildly, holding steel knives in their hands, and the target was the two carriages parked in the open space.
"Who, quickly stay away from this place, otherwise there will be no corpse!"
When they advanced to a place, the Tang Dynasty imperial guards' voices without any emotion were heard.
"Hmph! It's hard to say who has no bones left!"
These people had no intention of slowing down at all, but they all moved forward at a faster speed.
However, they ran for several battles, and dozens of people came from their front, from the ground, or from the sky, and they happened to face them, which was the Tang Dynasty imperial guards.
The first wave of people who came here were obviously the deceased soldiers who had taken away from the salt merchants and the Japanese ronin made a promise to them. They all knew that they could not make it in the Tang Dynasty. It would be better to follow these people who came from somewhere, and maybe they could do it once and for all. Since they had already become deceased soldiers, they naturally were not afraid of death and wanted to make a living place from the Tang Dynasty imperial guards.
