(Thank you very much for the support of monthly tickets and rewards from 'Nian Ge Bringing a Knife' and 'Book Friends 38965322')
The sound of the horn can be regarded as a notification to the personnel deployed in the imperial city that the target has entered the city, so that they are ready to intercept and siege.
Of course, the more important thing is to report to Li Shimin, so as not to be touched by No. 1 recklessly and beheaded, then the game is over.
"As expected of the person Wang Junlin desperately wants to exchange for, this King of Assassins is indeed terrifying." Li Shimin watched the No. 1 King of Assassins jump off the top of the wall with a telescope from afar on top of the seven-storey pagoda. After entering the imperial city and disappearing from his field of vision, his expression couldn't help becoming solemn.
However, Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all, and he has no fear at all, because he is very well prepared for today's situation of besieging the No. 1 killer king.
No matter when, Li Shimin behaved very calmly, even with calm and strong confidence.
Li Shimin's calm and murderous eyes followed the main road leading directly to the front hall of the palace under the seven-story pagoda, and looked towards the south gate of the imperial city where the sound of fighting was gradually rising again.
He knew that No. 1 Killer King would definitely come from there, because the opponent's current target was himself.
Using the kind of jade that the other party cares about the most to lure him over is actually equivalent to using myself as a bait.
At this moment, the imperial guards in the Imperial City are using their flesh and blood to stubbornly prevent the No. 1 Killer King from approaching Li Shimin.
It was similar to the process of three thousand infantrymen blocking No. 1 Killer King outside the imperial city before. In fact, the corpse was used to delay No. 1's footsteps, consume his energy, and make his eyes dim.
In any case, even if these guards of the imperial army stand there and let the No. Intercept the elite soldiers who killed him.
The No. 1 Killer King remained expressionless as before.
Killing people indifferently and calmly, but there are too many people in front of him, which makes him even feel that no matter how many people he kills, someone will come out to stop him, and he doesn't know how long he will kill, and every time he kills a person, he will It takes some energy.
"Li Shimin wants to exhaust my energy." At this moment, the No. 1 Killer King suddenly had a realization.

It was raining in Chang'an City, but the weather in Longguan was fine and cloudless.
On the majestic city wall of Longguan, Shangguanhu, who had been appointed by Wang Junlin as the commander of the Northwest Army of the Far East Army, looked indifferently at the mountains in the southeast direction.
His eyes looked through layers of mountains and rivers, and landed on the Heifengguan City that had only been built for a year.
Thinking that Hou Junji, who was originally stationed in the city of Heifengguan, had died in Sichuan and Shu, he was full of confidence in breaking through this grand pass that was not inferior to Longguan.
Originally, he had already sent a large army to clean up several Tang Army strongholds outside Heifeng Pass, and even used gunpowder packs to break through the three lines of defense that Hou Junji had set up in front of Heifeng Pass. Then he was about to go straight to Heifengguan with the momentum of a prairie fire, but unexpectedly, the prince's secret order of flying eagle came, asking him to cease fighting and wait for the order.
Shangguanhu had no choice but to order a truce and wait for new orders.
Wang Junlin's order did not explain the reason for the truce. Although Shangguanhu and Jiang Mulang in Longguan City were puzzled and secretly complained that the great opportunity was wasted, they still did not dare to disobey Wang Junlin's order.
……
……
At the same time, Luo Shixin and Pei Yuanqing led an army of 100,000 troops from Hedong to the outside of Tongguan City.
The main general of Tongguan City is Li Xiaogong, whose grandfather Li Wei is the seventh son of Li Yuan's original Tang Guogong Li Hu (Li Shimin's grandfather Li Bing is Li Hu's third son).
Li Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan. After conquering Chang'an City two years ago, he issued an edict to worship him as the comfort ambassador of Shannan Road. Because he was from his own family, he won Li Yuan's trust, so he asked him to lead troops to patrol the Tongguan area and stationed there. Tongguan City.
But in the original history, after Li Yuan raised his troops, Li Xiaogong was in charge of managing Bashu. Later, with the help of Li Jing, Liang Guo and Fu Gongyou, who destroyed Xiao Xian, were under his command in the south of the Yangtze River, and their military exploits could almost rival Li Shimin's.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he withdrew from the center of power and entertained himself with singing and dancing beauties. In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, he died of a sudden illness and was posthumously named the King of Hejian County.
Now, Li Shimin killed his brother and then his father, forcing the palace to rebel. Of course, Li Xiaogong already knew that the envoy sent by Li Shimin was still in Tongguan City, but he did not summon him.
Because he is still struggling and hesitating.
For Li Shimin's actions, Li Xiaogong was naturally extremely angry, but he also knew that his distant nephew Li Shimin was actually more suitable to be the master than his father Li Yuan.
Especially in the face of such a strong enemy as the Far East Army, and against such a powerful lord as Wang Junlin, with Li Yuan's ability, he may be finished sooner or later, but with Li Shimin's talent, it may still be possible to win the world.
But he, Li Xiaogong, was promoted and reused by Li Yuan after all. Although his surname is also Li, he is actually a distant relative of Li Yuan, so he can ignore Li Shimin's killing of his brother, but he is actually very angry when Li Shimin killed Li Yuan.
So, he has been hesitating whether to pledge his allegiance to Li Shimin these two days.
However, he can't take care of it for the time being
A choice has been made, because the army of the Far East Army has already arrived outside Tongguan City, and at any time both sides may start the bloodiest and cruelest siege battle.
Although there is some doubt as to why the Far East Army suddenly stationed outside Tongguan City, just preparing to attack the city and not attacking the city for a long time, Li Xiaogong still ordered to prepare for the defense of the city with all his strength.
At this moment, Li Xiaogong looked at the camp of the Far Eastern Army a few miles away from Tongguan City, couldn't help squinting his eyes, and gently stroked the scabbard beside him with his palm, watching the people around him move like ants. Walking around, the soldiers preparing to defend the city ordnance and equipment, feeling the tense and panic atmosphere in the city, couldn't help sighing.
The 100,000 Far East Army has already arrived outside the city of Tongguan. How long can I hold back the first pass in the east of the Guandong, known as the gateway to the east of the Guandong, under my body?
Although Li Xiaogong considers himself a famous general, his training and fighting are as good as any general in the world, but facing the Far Eastern Army, he is under too much pressure.
No way, the name of the Far Eastern Army as a strong army is really resounding, and the past achievements are there. It is not that he has not seen the legendary terrifying weapons and equipment before, and the gap between them is too big up.
Sighing secretly, Li Xiaogong shook his head, then called several generals under his command, and told them to make solid preparations for defense, especially after the opponent was ready to blow up the city wall, he turned around and went down He walked over the city wall and came to his mansion in Tongguan City.
He was going to have a good talk with the envoys sent by Li Shimin to see how sincere Li Shimin was to him, so that he could make a judgment on the next few things.
……
……
Outside the city of Tongguan, the camp of the Far East Army is in the commander's camp.
Head coach Luo Shixin and deputy coach Pei Yuanqing were drinking some wine. There was a barbecue stove in front of them. They were grilling mutton skewers while eating meat and drinking wine.
Since Wang Junlin set up a barbecue stove in Chang'an City many years ago, and even killed the Spring and Autumn Envoy while eating barbecue, the generals under Wang Junlin's command at all levels have liked to eat barbecue on skewers.
Unlike Shangguan Hu, Luo Shixin and Pei Yuanqing knew why Wang Junlin ordered a temporary truce.
Because, after all, their relationship with Nie Xiaoyu is different, or a little bit special.
Luo Shixin is Nie Xiaoyu's apprentice. Although he has a very good talent, Nie Xiaoyu taught him all his abilities.
And Pei Yuanqing in front of Nie Xiaoyu...is a tragedy.
No way, Pei Yuanqing has been unrequited love from beginning to end, and it has lasted for more than ten years.
Since he met Nie Xiaoyu sixteen years ago, he has been completely immersed in it and cannot extricate himself.
At that time, he was eighteen years old, a well-known martial arts prodigy in the world, a leader of the younger generation in the Sui Dynasty, the pride of Wenxi Pei, distinguished status, and handsome appearance.
At that time, he even felt a little ashamed when facing Nie Xiaoyu.
Now, he has changed from a cute little fresh meat to an uncle with vicissitudes of life on his face, and the goddess in his heart is still eighteen years old, still so flawless, and still so beautiful to him. indifference.
And why it is a tragedy is because Pei Yuanqing is in his thirties and has not yet married a wife, not even a concubine. This is equivalent to being unmarried in his forties in future generations. In this year, it is normal for people in their thirties to have grandchildren.

Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.
The No. 1 Assassin King has been killing people for more than an hour. From the beginning, he was an ordinary guard of the forbidden army, and finally gradually became a warrior in the foundation period, and then a master in the stagnation period.
And his eyes became darker and darker, which is a manifestation of excessive energy consumption in a short period of time.
I don't know when it started, but his body's reaction was slightly slower than at the beginning. This is a sign that his body is about to be overloaded after continuous high-speed, high-intensity exercise.
Finally at a certain moment, the No. 1 killer king was slashed by a stagnant master just before he died.
With the first knife, there will be a second knife, and even a third knife.
He started to get injured, and after being injured, the reaction speed of body functions would decrease, and the energy consumed would also increase.
As for the soldiers of the imperial guards and master guards, it was such an exciting thing that this monster-like terrifying figure was finally injured.
In addition to this matter, the reward Li Shimin gave in advance was very, very heavy.
All of a sudden, all the master guards began to work hard.
According to what Li Shimin said before, not to mention killing the opponent, as long as he can cut a knife on the target, it is a great achievement.
At the top of the seven-story pagoda, Li Shimin heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw that No. 1 killer king was finally injured, and the injury was getting worse.
"He is not a **** after all, so Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin will not be gods either, they will die after all." Li Shimin muttered to himself. He always thinks that nothing can be difficult for him, no one can stand above him, but in a series of battles with the Far Eastern Army, he failed again and again, which almost cast a shadow in his heart.
Finally, after another half an hour, the No. 1 Killer King finally came
Yu came to the bottom of the seven-story pagoda.
Li Shimin was aloof, looking down at the drizzle, the lonely figure of No. 1 Killer King slowly walked over, his expression was still the same, but his heart couldn't help but tense.
"The king of killers finally broke through thousands of troops from outside the imperial city, climbed over the high walls of the imperial city, killed half of the imperial palace, and came to himself."
The drizzle was still dripping on that still young and perfect cheek. Although the rapier he held tightly in his hand had killed an unknown number of people, there was still not a single drop of blood left on it. , dark and smooth.
But there was a smell of blood all over his body, that was because his originally dark clothes had turned blood red all over.
His clothes were already stained red with blood, even drenched with hot blood.
I don't know how many soldiers of the imperial guards and master guards of Ouchi have been killed, the No. 1 Killer King finally walked here step by step from the entrance of the south gate of the imperial city.
Even the seemingly indestructible rapier, after piercing countless hard armors on hearts and throats, the tip of the sword was no longer sharp, and the blade began to bend.
Although the No. 1 Assassin King is not a human being, he is neither a **** nor a devil after all.
In the face of thousands of troops and all kinds of attacks, the No. 1 killer king was injured after all, and now it seems that his injury is not serious.
His right leg has been twisted, which makes him walk with a slight limp, not as stable as before, and his speed will definitely be affected.
His left arm was planted several times. Although no blood flowed out, the bones inside could already be seen, but the bones had been stained red by the enemy's blood, and it was unknown what color it was.
The most important thing is that his eyes are far less bright than before.
Li Shimin used crowd tactics and wheel tactics to successfully injure No. 1 Killer King, which cost him a huge amount of energy.
………
………
In the drizzle, No. 1 Killer King raised his head, looked at Li Shimin above, and limped towards the seven-story pagoda, looking so lonely and tragic.
If the injury on his body were replaced by others, even if he did not pass out, if he wanted to continue walking, the pain would be unbearable, but for him, he naturally didn't feel the slightest bit.
Li Shimin lowered his head and quietly looked at No. 1 Killer King who was getting closer and closer to the seven-storey pagoda, and suddenly said: "King of Killers, in fact, this king lied to you. The king did not find the jade."
Assassin King No. 1 stopped suddenly when he heard the words, staring at Li Shimin with fixed eyes. I felt the soaring anger and killing intent.
Even if Li Shimin looked at the No. 1 killer king, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this time, but he still didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and continued to say lightly: "So, now I don't have you in my hands." If you need something, you can try to escape, otherwise, if you want to get close to this king, you will definitely die."
As soon as the No. 1 Killer King was reminded by Li Shimin, he immediately regained his senses and stood there, seemingly caught in a conflict. His goal was that kind of jade, because that kind of jade could keep him alive, but now Li Shimin Without that kind of jade in his hand, it seems that he has no need to kill Li Shimin.
He is not human after all, although he has supercomputing power, he has the hardest body in the world, the most precise control ability, the fastest speed, the most agile body, and all kinds of weird and magical abilities, But in terms of playing with his mind, he can't compare with others after all, let alone people like Li Shimin.
Because of this delay and hesitation, 300 master guards from all directions finally rushed over and once again surrounded No. 1 Killer King.
These three hundred people are the last batch of forces Li Shimin prepared for the No. 1 Killer King.
Among them, there are six masters in the breaking stage alone, and there are as many as forty masters in the stagnant stage, and the rest are all warriors in the foundation stage.
The No. 1 Killer King was actually caught in a dilemma at this moment. On the one hand, he rationally told him that there was no need to kill Li Shimin, and the most important thing now was to escape from the palace as soon as possible.
However, some emotions or human emotions that have been born to him for countless years have prompted him to want to kill Li Shimin very, very much, because he has never hated a human being so much.
Of course, the most important thing is that the No. 1 killer king suddenly understood that Li Shimin set up such a big game just to kill him, and he would definitely not let him go unless he could kill Li Shimin in front of him and kill him. He captured him alive and took him as a hostage.
So, the No. 1 Killer King moved.
Dragging his twisted right leg, he rushed towards the seven-story pagoda.
Almost at the moment he moved, the three hundred master guards around him also moved.
"Kill!" The seven masters at the front shouted in unison, and the weapons in their hands stabbed, cut, chopped, or smashed towards the body of No. 1 Killer King from seven directions!
