Chapter 203 Li Shimin's Will
Time is like flowing water, and seven days pass by in a flash.
During these seven days, the haunted palace had already spread throughout Chang'an City. The Crown Prince Li Shimin had no deeds and virtues. He killed his brother and imprisoned his father for the sake of the throne. He had long been known by all the people of Chang'an, and even despised by others.
If it was ordinary, things would naturally not fall to this point, but since Li Shimin was entangled with ghosts, he had already started to be suspicious all day long. Not to mention dealing with political affairs, it would be difficult for other people to approach him within ten steps.
Why is this happening?
It's very simple. Anyone is assassinated once, twice or even several times a day. Moreover, these assassinations come from the personal guards who originally guarded him. I'm afraid anyone will start to suspicion!
Generally speaking, only the person you trust the most can be held, especially for the identity of Li Shimin. Every personal guard around you can be said to have been selected by the most stringently, but so what?
Under the shadowless ghost, even the loyal people will be possessed and controlled, and then these closest guards will turn into death. If Li Shimin is in a bad position, he will probably be killed.
Yes, in Li Shimin's opinion, those ghosts were not just trying to torture him, but really wanted to kill him, because once he slept in a vague way and almost got his head cut in a dream.
However, if those personal guards were not used, those ghosts would still appear, and the ghosts had already shown a way to kill people once. Compared to being alone, Li Shimin chose to let the personal guards protect him. After all, some personal guards, even if the personal guards were controlled by the ghosts, Li Shimin had discovered that these ghosts seemed to be able to control one or two people at a time, and other personal guards could take action to stop them.
And if there is only oneself, there will be no helper at all.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's personal guard team has become increasingly large in recent days, from dozens of people to now, there are more than two hundred people.
However, Li Shimin would be afraid, and these guards who guard Li Shimin would also be afraid. After all, even if these guards are strict in military discipline, they are still human beings. Whenever they see their comrades dying by ghosts, they will inevitably feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, and they don’t know when it will be their turn.
Fortunately, Li Shimin also knew that this would bring great psychological pressure to these guardian guards, so he asked someone to divide the guardian guards into five groups and replace them every twelve hours, so that the guardian guards had a breathing time, so that the guardian guards did not collapse in their minds.
In the bedroom, Li Shimin's figure has become thinner now. His Highness, who was originally handsome and handsome, had a pale face, his eyes were sunken, his hair was casually scattered behind his back, and his beard with his lips and chin grew even more because he was not taken care of. He didn't look like the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If he weren't in the palace now, he would be more like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time.
In fact, Li Shimin was not stupid enough to stay in the palace. He even wanted to escape from the palace a few days ago. Unfortunately, no matter whether he escaped from the palace or found another place to hide, the ghosts followed him like shadows, and it was useless to let him hide anywhere.
Even after leaving the palace, the ghosts were found much more frequently than in the palace. If in the palace, those ghosts only chased him two or three times a day, then when leaving the palace, the ghosts appeared seven or eight times a day, dozens of times a day, and they became more fierce, and they almost killed him several times, forcing Li Shimin to retreat to the palace.
However, although Li Shimin described it a bit dry, his eyes were red and bright, red with blood, and it seemed to be full of violence, and the bright was his madness, as if there was a beast that was about to rush out at any time.
"Your Highness, General Cheng is asking for a visit outside!" At this time, a guardian guard walked in, half-kneeled on the ground, clasped his fists, and lowered his head to report.
Li Shimin glanced at the guard with a slightly lowered eyes, and then said in a low and hoarse voice, "Let him come in!"
"yes!"
Soon, the guard took Cheng Yaojin in. In addition to Cheng Yaojin, there were three soldiers holding wooden boxes behind him.
However, whether it was Cheng Yaojin or these three soldiers, all the weapons on their bodies were removed before entering the bedroom.
"I will meet the prince!" Cheng Yaojin walked in and looked at Li Shimin sitting on the bed, especially when he met his red eyes, a chill seemed to rise in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head and fisted.
"No gift!" Li Shimin put his hand on the edge of the bed and said lightly.
"Thank you Your Highness!" Cheng Yaojin thanked him, then straightened his waist and said again, "Your Highness, the last person to come here to report this time. Han Yushan, Cui Chenghe and Zheng Bojian have been killed. The head of the company is here, please check it out."
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shimin glanced at the three soldiers holding wooden boxes, and saw the three soldiers holding wooden boxes lifting the lid of the wooden boxes in their hands, and suddenly three heads appeared in front of Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Chengming, who had already hidden in the hall, could not help but narrow his eyes when he saw the three heads.
Li Chengming had never seen the three heads in front of him, but he could not have heard of the names of Han Yushan, Cui Chenghe and Zheng Bojian.
As far as he knew, these three people were the chief generals of the three states of Hua, Tong and Qi to defend the capital. They were also the ones who led their troops to help Li Shimin conquer him after responding to Li Shimin this time.
However, unexpectedly, Li Shimin sent someone to kill these three people.
What is Li Shimin doing?
You know, Han Yushan, Cui Chenghe and Zheng Bojian are said to be from a thousand-year-old family among the five surnames and seven hopes, and these three people came to help Li Shimin before, so why did Li Shimin kill them instead?
After all, Li Chengming is not a god. Although he spent most of his time in the palace these days, he actually needed to rest and eat. It was impossible for him to follow Li Shimin in an endless manner. So he had no idea why Li Shimin killed these three people, and he didn't even know when the order was issued.
However, from the past few days, Li Chengming still admires Li Shimin quite a bit.
This person has a strong will. Even though he has been acting as a demon in the past few days to assassinate him by pretending to be a ghost, although he was also affected, after he stopped, Li Shimin would just take a short rest and start to deal with some political affairs.
To be honest, seeing these things, Li Chengming's original impression of Li Shimin's vicious and rude attitude changed a little.
However, the more Li Shimin is like this, the less he cannot let him go.
Although he has the capital to be unafraid of Li Shimin, he cannot do such stupid things as letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
The enemy is the enemy, and the enemy is the best enemy if it dies.
