Chapter 1,759 Hard Bones
Li Chengqing personally took out his sword and beheaded the man with one blow. The officials in the audience were naturally horrified, and even the soldiers were shocked.
"Today, I personally killed the murderer of the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty in front of the late emperor's spiritual tablet. The late emperor knew about it and can be pleased." Li Chengqing stared at the funeral team in the audience and said in a deep voice: "These are Qin Xiao's gang members.
They got it!"
Qiao Ji, the commander of the Xuzhou Battalion, gave an order, and numerous soldiers of the Xuzhou Battalion surrounded him.
However, the dozen or so people in the funeral team were all leaning around the coffin. Some people had quickly taken out weapons from under the coffin, while others had taken out short blades from their bodies, and they did not hesitate to capture them.
When everyone saw it, they thought that these people had indeed been prepared and hid the weapons under the coffin. It seemed that the coffin was carefully crafted.
However, the soldiers of Yuzhou Camp and Yanzhou Camp did not act rashly.
Qin Xiao finally stood up at this time, looked at Li Chengqing, looked him up and down, and then said: "I was negligent and did not expect you to have this skill, so I was defeated. Prince Qing, since you have been prepared for a long time, you didn't know that you wanted to kill us."
How to deal with it?”
"Qin Xiao, I am a man who loves talents." Li Chengqing sighed: "I know that you have been favored by the Demon Queen, but a man should be able to distinguish what is a small favor and what is a great righteousness. In fact, when I learned about you
Killing Yuan Gai Wushuang is a great compliment, and I think you are truly one of the best young talents in a thousand. However, you acted as an aide, but you made me very disappointed."
Qin Xiao sighed: "Isn't it what a man should do to repay a favor?"
"This means that you only know small favors but don't know righteousness." Li Chengqing said: "The orthodoxy in the world is
Li Tang, the Demon Queen has usurped the throne and brought disaster to the country. If you associate with him, you will be infamy for thousands of years. Qin Xiao, I cherish your talents and want to save you and give you a chance to change your ways. Are you willing?"
Qin Xiaodao: "How to say?"
"As long as you follow me to kill the traitors and revive Li Tang, then the mistakes you made before can be made up for." Li Chengqing said: "After the great event is accomplished, I will never treat you badly. In this way, history books
Above, you will be praised for recognizing your mistakes and being able to correct them, and you will have a place as a hero in reviving Li Tang."
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "How can I help the prince?"
"I know that the officers and soldiers of Long Rui Army are in awe of you." Li Chengqing said slowly: "I also know that Long Rui Army's background is actually not good, and there are many bandits. If your soldiers and horses can
Raise the flag of righteousness and follow me to put down the Xiahou Rebellion, and they will leave their names for future generations." He raised his finger and pointed at the soldiers in the audience and said: "These are brave and loyal men of the Tang Dynasty. After the restoration of Li Tang, I will definitely
Every soldier present will be heavily rewarded. If you lead the Long Rui Army to follow, the officers and soldiers of the Long Rui Army will also receive the same treatment."
Qin Xiaodao: "How can I lead them if I'm not in the Northeast? Does the prince want me to return to the Northeast?"
"You don't have to go back to the Northeast." Li Chengqing said: "I know that you are outstanding, so you stay in Xuzhou and follow me to discuss various matters. Your right-hand men, Gu Baiyi and Yuwen Chengchao, are all responsible figures. As long as your
Once the message is spread there, we can mobilize troops and horses in Xuzhou."
Although Qin Xiao had a slight smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold and stern, and his voice
But he was still calm: "So the prince means to put me under house arrest in Xuzhou like a princess, and then threaten Long Ruijun with my life to obey your orders?"
His voice was calm, but these words spread far away, and many people in the audience could hear them clearly.
When the word "Princess under house arrest" spread, many soldiers changed their minds.
Li Chengqing frowned and said calmly: "Princess under house arrest? Qin Xiao, you are really stubborn. You want to slander me for murdering General Changsun, but you have come up with a new trick? She Yue is my niece, both Li Tang
She is a member of the royal family, so how can I put her under house arrest?"
"In this case, it is such an important event to sacrifice the late emperor, why didn't the princess come in person?" Qin Xiao asked.
When these words were asked, the officials and soldiers all started whispering among themselves.
Qin Xiao's question makes sense.
She Yue is the daughter of the late emperor. Since she is worshiping the late emperor in the city today, She Yue has more reason than anyone else to come to the scene in person. Even if Li Chengqing doesn't have to show up, She Yue needs to come.
Li Chengqing, on the other hand, was calm and composed, sighing: "She Yue came to Xuzhou from Kyoto, which was extremely hard work. After arriving in Xuzhou, she worried about everything day and night. How could she be able to hold on with her golden branches and beautiful leaves? She had been sick for many days, and she was so tired.
The king mentioned the sacrificial ceremony to her. She wanted to come in spite of her illness at first, but then she thought that although she was of the Li royal family, she also had the blood of the Demon Queen flowing through her body, so she felt that it was better not to show up in person on such an occasion.
For the best. Master Ye, is that so?"
These words were extremely insidious. They seemed to be reminding everyone that Princess Sheyue was not only of the blood of Li Tang, but also had the blood of the Xiahou family in her body.
The bloodline is not pure.
"That's right." Ye Chaoxuan said immediately: "The princess has been feeling unwell for many days, so naturally she cannot come."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person coming up from the backstage, looking a little flustered. He was standing beside the incense table and seemed to want to step forward, but he didn't dare. It's just that everyone's attention was on Li Chengqing and Qin Xiao.
On the other side, no one noticed a person appearing in the corner of the incense table.
The man finally approached a Taoist priest and whispered something in his ear. The Taoist priest seemed hesitant, but finally stepped forward and walked to Ye Chaoxuan and whispered a few words. Ye Chaoxuan immediately turned around and looked back, seeing the panicked look on his face.
The man frowned slightly but did not move.
Qin Xiao was only a few steps away from Li Chengqing at this time, and they were in pairs.
"Li Chengqing, although you are a prince, your acting skills are not bad." Qin Xiao's voice was not loud, but this time he did not activate his Qi. He spoke slowly as usual: "I have been thinking,
Whatever tricks you will use today, it seems that it is nothing more than that."
Li Chengqing heard him clearly this time, but the people in the front of the audience heard vaguely and had no idea what Qin Xiao was talking about, and the people behind him couldn't hear anything clearly.
Li Chengqing stopped letting others hear him and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as you achieve the goal. Qin Xiao, honestly speaking, I really admire your courage.
You came here with a coffin and you want to overthrow me?" Putting his hands on his back, he took two steps forward, got closer to Qin Xiao, and said softly: "You are right, the eldest grandson Yuanxin was killed by someone sent by me.
, but what evidence do you have?
Prove that it was me who did it? Without conclusive evidence, you dare to come here. I really don’t know if you are too courageous or too stupid?"
At this time, Ye Chaoxuan looked back at the man in the corner of the incense table, and saw that the man had been rubbing his hands, looking extremely anxious. He hesitated for a moment, saw Li Chengqing talking to Qin Xiao, and finally stepped back gently and walked over there.
"Last night you summoned Fan Zhong to go to the Governor's Mansion." Qin Xiao stared at the other person's eyes, his eyes were like daggers, and said calmly: "After he went in, he never left the Governor's Mansion. I know he is in trouble, but you
I didn't expect you to be so cruel. It seems you are more vicious than I thought." There was a trace of pain in his eyes, and he said: "I can't help him. You go to the Governor's Mansion with him, I will
He felt something was wrong, but he was worried that if he didn't go, it would arouse your suspicion, so in order to make you feel that everything was safe, he went resolutely!"
"Liang Xiao is neither a gentleman nor a poisonous husband." Li Chengqing's expression became stern, he glanced at the headless corpse of Gengzi Fan Zhong not far away, and said coldly: "I never thought that that eunuch would dare to betray me.
I will never show mercy to traitors!"
Qin Xiao's eyes were cold and stern, and he said: "You are indeed cunning, and you actually arranged some ears and eyes around him."
"He is in charge of the Xuzhou Pawnshop. He thinks he has the Xuzhou Pawnshop firmly in his hands, and the people under him obey his orders." Li Chengqing sneered: "I have indeed handed over the power of the pawnshops to the shopkeepers.
, whether it is a night owl or a traveling owl, they must obey the orders of the shopkeeper. The shopkeepers everywhere are also people whom the king trusts. But the so-called trust
, relatively speaking, compared to other people, I will place the person I trust more in the position of shopkeeper to serve me."
He raised his hand, stroked his beard and said: "But he forgot that the pawnshop was founded by me. No one knows the pawnshop better than me. All the shopkeepers of the pawnshop only know that there are You Xiao and Ye Xiao in the shop, but they don't
I don’t know, but I have arranged two dark owl in every pawn shop. The dark owl may be a traveling owl or a night owl. They will usually obey all the shopkeeper’s instructions, which will make the shopkeepers feel that they are loyal.
, but all the shopkeepers don’t know that the real mission of the dark lord is to monitor the pawnshop shopkeeper.”
Qin Xiaodao: "This is indeed something a person like you can do."
"The traveling owl holds the passed information in his hand, and the night owl holds the book of life and death in his hand." Li Chengqing said slowly: "And in the dark owl's hand, there is a secret book that records all the shopkeeper's whereabouts. The two dark owl in the pawn shop both
They won't know each other's identity, but they are doing the same thing, so by comparing the two secret books, they can determine all the shopkeeper's whereabouts." After a pause, he said softly: "I didn't suspect Gengzi before.
He will secretly collude with you, but he is a messenger of embroidered clothes, and I am worried that he will be involved with She Yue, so I am very wary of his recent whereabouts."
Qin Xiao said: "So there is no one in the world that you really trust."
"If you mistrust someone, you will have to pay a heavy price." Li Chengqing said with emotion: "I originally trusted him, but he did not report to me and moved Shen Wuchou to another place without permission. I knew this People have rebelled." Staring
Qin Xiao raised his eyes and said coldly: "But I am very surprised. Fan Zhong has been following me for twenty years. How did you persuade him to betray me and collude with you? I interrogated him in person last night. Did you use it? With few tricks, it stands to reason that we should have pried his mouth open. But he didn’t confess a single word, which really impressed me."
