Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and eight Cao Wang

Cao Wang Liming was left crying at this time, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence. If it were not for the support of soldiers on both sides, at this moment, he was already soft on the high platform like a puddle of mud.

"Rest assured, I will take care of Li Jun and Li Jie." Li Hong turned his back to Cao Wang Liming, looking at the white belly of the sky, and said lightly.

"Hong'er, please, please forgive me. I will never dare anymore. I can persuade the King Yue and others to give up resistance and not kill me. Okay, yes, please report to your majesty. , He won't kill me, please, even if you dismiss me as a common man and exiled to Lingnan, please Honger, I don't want to die, really, I don't want to die, I beg you , I am your emperor uncle, if you do this, my royal reputation accumulated over the years..."

"Li Hong came a step late and never rescued Uncle Cao from the anti-thief Wei Chao. Li Hong felt guilty." Li Hong said faintly, looking at the first ray of sunlight that was about to break through the horizon.

There was a soft noise behind him, and then there was no sound. The head did not roll under the high platform, but was blocked by the edge of the high platform with feet.

Li Hong didn't even look at it and said, "Find someone to sew up and put the coffin together."

With Li Hong's order, this Zhechong Mansion was destroyed by the Tang court overnight, just like the other two Zhechong Mansion.

All this will not affect the people in Yangzhou city. Even after the sun slowly rises from the horizon, some Yangzhou people who have just gotten up do not know that Yangzhou city has Earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Even, most of them still don’t know that Yangzhou City has changed hands several times on this peaceful night, which is no different from usual. In the undercurrent, under the watery night, it is already slowly He was restored to his original state.

The scene of fighting with swords and spears has always been the rule of power in this era, but Yangzhou City, in the calm night, tried to reduce the disturbance to the smallest extent.

The streets are much quieter than usual. Many people open the doors and greet them as usual, but the morning air seems to be with a dignified dignity, warning them and letting them do the usual things on weekdays. , Seemed to be cautious, even the voice of speaking was deliberately lowered a lot.

Some babies were in the arms of their mothers, they just cried out, and their mouths were blocked by their mothers with sweet milk, for fear that his crying would disturb the outsiders and cause trouble to the family.

Slightly older children were forbidden to go out to play due to their parents’ orders, and were ordered to stay in a boring home, facing the wall in a daze.

Squads of soldiers and soldiers walked through the streets of Yangzhou in a solemn manner, confirming to people that the crisis of the night was still going on, and the turmoil in Yangzhou City seemed not over yet.

Some people whispered to their neighbors quietly, asking each other what is going on in Yangzhou City. Has the court sent troops? Did something happen last night? How is Mr. Cishi? Wang Cao who came to Yangzhou some time ago, where are they now? Is his Royal Highness able to fight them? Will His Royal Highness be able to recapture Yangzhou? How many soldiers and horses did the imperial court send to suppress?

The wealthy, aristocrats, and high-ranking elders in the aristocratic family make a pot of tea early in the morning, sit in the courtyard with solemn eyes closed and dormant, or stand up ears and listen to the movements outside. Is a majestic look.

The maid was a little more cautious than usual, standing on one side quietly serving her, these authority truly held the family lifeline.

Compared with the turmoil outside the wall, the elders in the courtyard are more important to the maids, and they are more deterrent.

She would not understand what the turmoil in Yangzhou City has closely related benefits to her. She only knows that if she does not serve the authoritative elders in the mansion at this time, her destiny may be much miserable, and she will even be sold. The others are.

The children in the family are also cautious. Every time they go out of the room to another room, they will involuntarily look at the solemn-looking old man, that is, they want to go and listen to the old man's plans, what countermeasures, but they are frightened The old man Yu's prestige at home did not dare to step forward to interrupt him.

The entire Yangzhou city is in the same calm as in the past, but it is filled with some tension and makes people feel nervous and uneasy. Everything is so ordinary, everything is so unusual. Everything inside is there, and I haven't even heard the slightest sound of fighting, but everywhere seems to hide the murderous aura of Tie Ma Jin Ge.

The closer you get to the mansion of Yue Wang Li Zhen, the invisible killing aura becomes stronger and stronger. The closer you are to the mansion of Yue Wang Li Zhen, the more you can feel a suffocating pressure.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and the surrounding streets seemed to be under martial law. The doors and windows of the people’s houses were closed tightly, and at the cracks in the door panels, the naughty children blinked, looking at the hand-held length outside. Soldiers with spears, crossbows, and crossbows.

There is both envy and fear in my heart. In short, my little hand can't help but buckle the gap in the door panel, looking at everything outside intently, nervously and excitedly.

The Zhechong Mansion led by Li Jingye, plus the three Zhechong Mansion originally led by King Luo Bin and Wei Siwen, have enclosed the mansion of King Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and some of them are riding fast horses back and forth to Li Jingye. Report the situation around the mansion.

The sun is shining from a distance, with a hint of new life, blended into this piece of solidified air, working hard to dissolve and blend this suffocating atmosphere.

"The chief governor, there was no movement from the Royal Palace of Yue, but the spies sent in returned on May 1st and all folded inside." King Luo Bin quickly walked towards Li Jingye and reported in a low voice.

"Where is Wei Siwen?" Li Jingye only saw King Luo Bin, not Wei Siwen, frowned, looked at the main entrance of the Royal Palace not far ahead and asked.

"Going back to the governor, Master Wei..."

"What happened to him? To tell the truth!" Li Jingye's heart sank. Wei Siwen always hoped that he would cross the Yangtze River to the north and attack Luoyang, instead of heading south to Runzhou and Changzhou. Now that people are gone, what happened? Up?

Or, he has always hoped that he will carry on his back. Did he collude with King Yue and King Cao long ago?

"After entering the Yuewang Mansion, I never came out again." Luo Bin Wang said quietly.

"So, did he collude with Wang Cao and the others a long time ago?" Li Jingye directly expressed the speculation in his heart.

"The lower official is not clear, but before he enters, Cao Wang Liming has already gone to the Zhechong Mansion led by Wei Chao." Luo Bin Wang observed the expression on Li Jingye's face and said.

It was at this time that Li Jingye suddenly lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. After a long while, I heard Li Jingye suddenly say: "Wei Chao’s father was in Cao Wang Liming. Ren Dianjun in the palace of King Cao was later exiled to Puzhou because of the crime committed by King Cao. King Cao wanted to persuade Wei Chao. After the prince arrived in Yangzhou, he was afraid that Wei Chao would be forced to return to King Cao. The government prevents them from getting close here."

"Then what do you do here? If you have something in case, you should be..."

"Then you don't have to worry about it. The two Zhechong Mansion's 3,000 troops, against the King of Yue, the 1,000 troops of the Zhechong Mansion, we have an advantage. You don't have to worry about my safety." Li Jingye is still low. Head, let Luo Binwang see clearly and can't hear whether Li Jingye's remarks are true or false.

"But..."

"There are not so many but, you go immediately." Li Jingye raised his head and said deeply.

The heart of King Luo Bin sank. It seems that he did not expect his Highness. Li Jingye has clearly realized that Yangzhou City is no longer under his control, and he is going to run away.

Otherwise, with the strength of the four Zhechong Mansion, facing the 1,000-man strength of Yue Wang Li Zhen, why did he not order the attack, but split the troops? This is completely contrary to the plan he told himself and Wei Swen at night.

While hesitating, King Luo Bin only heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind him again, so he immediately looked back, and saw a soldier galloping up on his horse, a faint red rope flashing on his wrist.

When the horse was approaching~IndoMTL.com~, the soldiers tightened the reins of the horse suddenly. Before waiting for the front hoof of the horse to fall into the air due to a sudden stop, he jumped off the horse and ran to him. And Li Jingye reported to the previous report: "Report to your lord, Wei Chao has returned to Wang Cao, and is now blocking the nearest city gate here."

"What? How could it be?" Li Jingye was taken aback, and stood up from the chair at the entrance of the Royal Palace. Is it true that Prince Li Hong is really lying in Manjiang Garden and doing nothing this night?

King Luo Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the looming red rope on the soldier's wrist. At this time, he knew better than anyone how important it is for the speed of the pigeon to transmit information.

The information I got on this side can be known by His Highness in no time, and the news on His Highness can also be known by myself in the first time.

But Li Jingye and the others are relying on the method of sending messages by the messenger. Compared with the crown prince using pigeons to send messages, it is more like a blind man in Yangzhou.

"My lord, what should I do now?" Luo Bin Wang interjected in due course.

Li Jingye's expression is uncertain, his eyes drifting away from the gates of King Luo Bin and the Royal Palace of Yue, muttering to himself: "King Cao blocked the city gate? What is the purpose? Why does he believe their power, in Yangzhou The city is far better than me? The Royal Palace of Yue is now surrounded by us, so water can't get through. If he doesn't come to rescue, why is he blocking the city gate? Is it to deal with Prince Li Hong? Afraid that the Prince will escape the city?"

"Then...what if His Royal Highness takes down King Cao and the others, and then leads his troops to block the city gate?" King Luo Bin asked Li Jingye tentatively.

Li Jingye once again looked up at King Luo Bin in surprise, and squinted his eyes thoughtfully: "If Prince Li Hong takes King Cao and then seals off Yangzhou City, this is forcing us to have a peace talk."
