Chapter 453
After Lin Wu returned to the camp at the banquet in Gaoling City, he was not at all sleepy. The closer he got to Chang'an, his heart became more and more chaotic. Chang'an was a sad place for their brothers. I think their brothers were also a family of imperial guards in Chang'an. Although his ancestors were only lieutenant officers and no nobles, they were still good. However, because he had unintentionally offended the powerful, his family was destroyed and he was forced to leave a foreign land.
It was already very deep in the night, but he couldn't sleep.
Lin Wu finally came back. He fled Chang'an in a mess. Now he is the Duke of the State Army, the Duke of Yu, the Duke of the Duke of the State Army. He is the general under the command of the third-rank Yun, a purple-robed goldfish bag, and holds thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand. The powerful people they offended at the beginning were actually just a fourth-rank imperial guard general, which was not as high as their brothers' current rank. Now that he returns to the capital, how should he deal with his enemies?
Facing the candlelight, he was stunned and suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the tent.
A figure flashed, and a cold wind blew, and several people walked in. Lin Wu raised his head and saw clearly that it was Liu Xun, the great disciple of the Grand Marshal. At this time, he was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he was breathless.
"What happened?" Lin Wu's face changed and his heart suddenly broke out, and a very bad feeling rose to his heart.
Liu Xun swallowed his dry throat and looked anxious, "The general was assassinated in Gaoling City!"
"What did you say?" Lin Wu was originally impatient, and he has become much more mature and calm in the past year. But when he heard that Li Jing was assassinated, he immediately exploded and stood up suddenly.
"The Grand Marshal rested at the diner at night, but who knew it was a trap. The damn Tian Lingzi. He ambushed thousands of Shen Ce troops in the city, and suddenly set fire to the diner in the middle of the night. He sent someone to besiege the diner. The Grand Marshal asked me to go over the city and report the news, and asked the general to go to rescue quickly."
Lin Wu's face turned pale in an anxious manner, "What's the situation of the Grand Marshal now?"
"The discovery was promptly done. The general was not injured, but he was trapped in the diary and could not break through for a while."
After hearing that Li Jing was not injured and was fine for the time being, Lin Wei finally calmed down a little excited.
"Let's go. Summon troops immediately, we will enter Gaoling City and rescue the general." Lin Wu stood up.
Liu Xun quickly stopped me: "The general sent me back because he was afraid that the general would do this. This is at the foot of the emperor, so you should be more cautious when encountering problems. You must be careful when the troops are mobilized."
"What does the Grand Marshal mean?" Lin Wu asked.
Liu Xun quickly said Li Jing. Although he knew that Tian Lingzi wanted to murder him, Li Jing did not dare to let the Zhenguo Army attack Gaoling City. After all, this is under the feet of the emperor, and every movement and quietness can be known in Chang'an City at any time. If Tian Lingzi puts a bigger trap behind, it is hard to say that the Zhenguo Army may fall into the trap. Therefore, Li Jing specifically told Liu Xun that Lin Wei, Wang Chong and others should not lead their troops alone, and they should not attack the county town recklessly.
"The Grand Marshal means to immediately tell the news about this matter with General Zheng and General Yu, and then let the generals go to Gaoling City and let the city open. As long as the generals arrive, the thieves in Gaoling City will not dare to continue to attack the enemy."
After hearing this, Lin Wu nodded repeatedly. The capital was not a place where the Zhenguo Army could do whatever he wanted. He immediately went to wake up Wang Chong, Zhang Chengye, Li Zhen, Guo Cheng'an, Zhang Hong and other civil and military officials of the Zhenguo Army.
After a brief discussion, Zhang Chengye led a team of guards to Chang'an immediately and found Zhang Tai and asked him to find a way to tell the emperor about this matter. On the other hand, Lin Wu, Wang Chong and others immediately went to see Zheng Cong-sei, Yu Feng and others.
Zheng Congxian and others heard that Li Jing was assassinated in Gaoling City, and thousands of people were besieging Li Jing's residence, and they were so surprised that they couldn't speak.
Everyone was completely sleepy and immediately summoned each army and general.
No one expected that as soon as he arrived at the capital, he encountered such a thing. As the deputy envoy of recruiting and recruiting, Li Jing was a great contributor to quelling the rebellion this time. In particular, almost all of them here received the favor and help from Li Jing. At this time, they naturally shared the same hatred for the enemy.
Li Zhuo, the governor of Heyang, was the grandson of Li Sheng, the famous general of Xiping County, the county prince of Xiping. Li Zhu, who broke Caizhou on the snowy night, was his uncle. On the battlefield in Hedong, he died of a brother and suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the appearance of Li Jing on the battlefield several times, he might have followed his brothers. Therefore, he was very angry when he heard that someone was besieging Li Jing. In fact, everyone knew who dared to do this.
However, the Li family's power in the court was also very powerful. The entire Li family was mixed and it was a famous family in the Tang Dynasty. The eunuchs who looked down upon the most were the eunuchs.
"There is a bright world. At the foot of the emperor, there are thieves who dare to attack our deputy envoy. This is to ignore our eight towns and three tribes. If we ignore our attacks and killings today, then our achievements in fighting rebellion tomorrow may be gone. The day after tomorrow, maybe this knife will be put on the necks of us. There is no need to say anything, and we will first set the small Gaoling County. Even if we reach the Golden Palace, we will not be afraid in front of His Holiness."
"Stop talking." Zheng Cong-sei sighed. Although the matter was obvious, he dared not let everyone do this. If one is not good, he might say that it would cause a mutiny. He looked around the generals, "The matter has not been found out yet, so we won't talk about it for the time being. The most important point now is to rescue Li Shuai. Everyone has heard what Liu Yanei reposted Li Shuai just now. I think Li Shuai was right. It's not a time to be in chaos. I think there is no need to point soldiers or generals. Only the generals of our eight towns and three tribes will go to Gaoling County again, and then the generals who went to the banquet tonight will go with them. There is no need to bring more people, and it's enough to bring one team of personal soldiers."
As they were talking, the camp suddenly roared, and it was a sirens. Everyone was shocked and wondered whether Tian Lingzi had become so bold that he even dared to attack the camp.
A loud voice interrupted everyone's thoughts, "Military Li is back, Marshal Li is back!"
Yu Yan's nervousness, worries, anger and other emotions condensed together, and saw the two generals under Li Jing, the commandments of Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, and others taking torches in front of him. Gao Siji, Fu Cunshen and others surrounded Li Jing. Li Jing rode on the horse, but he was still joking loudly with an old man in a civilian next to him with a relaxed look on his face. He finally turned into joy and excitement.
Shence's arms attacked Didian, but it rained heavily. As soon as the fire was extinguished, Li Jing successfully blocked the Shence army's attack outside the courtyard with the courage of his guards. As a result, without waiting for Liu Xun to bring in the rescue, Xin Xi had already led more than a hundred cavalry to kill. The Shence army suddenly saw a cavalry behind him coming, with a sword energy like rainbows and extremely brave. He came here like chopping melons and vegetables, and he thought that Li Jing's army was coming outside the city. After a while, he had no command from Feng Chuang, Chen Duo and others, and he immediately dispersed and fled.
Xin Xi and Li Jing met, and the old and the young looked at each other for a long time.
Xin Xi reported his name, "Sizhou Xin Xi has seen Li Shuai, the Zhenguo Army, who has been famous all over the world. The name of Yong Sanlang is indeed good, but it is a bit younger than expected."
When Li Jing heard that the other party was Xin Xi, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. This was the number one swordsman in the Tang Dynasty, the real hero. Although Li Bai's poems, Zhang Xu's calligraphy and Pei Min's sword skills were called the Three Masters, the sword saint Pei Min's sword is more of a performance nature. Although he is very good at martial arts, he is at most a master of swordsmanship. Xin Xi is not only strong in swordsmanship, but also the key thing is that the word "金" is the word "金".
Xin Xi, who is righteous, is the swordsman of the greatest hero.
Li Jing admired Xin Xi very much. One of the top ten swordsmen in ancient China was not a fictional reputation. But he never thought that he would meet on such an occasion in the end.
Finally, he said a little disobediently: "Mr. Xin is a little older than he thought, and he is much thinner." After saying that, he felt rude and smiled awkwardly. Xin Xu didn't care much.
When asked why Xin Xi and the others appeared, Xin Xi briefly said the story. After hearing this result, Li Jing couldn't help but admire Xin Xi even more. There may be many who can help him when he sees injustice, but if he knows that the other party is a powerful person he can't afford to offend, he can still stick to himself and not be impressed by the other party's power, and the one he helps is just a person he has never met before, which is even more admirable.
After the two sides met, more than 200 people broke out of the courtyard. Li Jing and others first found the war horses, then boarded the horses and dispersed the enemy soldiers, and finally rushed directly under the city gate, cut out, and returned to the camp.
Xin Xi's reputation is indeed very high. He has a prominent family background and a 50-year-old experience of being a hero who has not been a vocational official. Especially in the Battle of Sizhou, which just five or six years later, Xin Xi's reputation of being loyal and righteous, and his reputation of being a hero for the country and the people has spread all over the world. From the emperor and prime minister to the peddlers and pawns, he admired countless people.
In the camp, not only Zheng Congxian, but also Yu Ren and Li Zhuo, who came from a noble family, smiled and greeted Xin Xi eagerly. Even border Hus such as Helianduo, Tuoba Sigong, and Qi Bizhang all looked admiring. When talking to Xin Xi, he looked excited.
The other soldiers in the camp came to hear the sound and wanted to see the true appearance of the Tang Dynasty's No. 1 swordsman.
Xin Xi and his more than 100 disciples and guards immediately became the most popular guests in the camp. It was almost dawn. In order to celebrate Li Jing's escape, Zheng Cong Xi ordered a day off for the awakened soldiers, and then asked the logistics camp to prepare a banquet to warmly invite the hero Xin and his disciples.
Murong Xue and Aunt Lan also followed Li Jing back to the camp and came to say goodbye together.
"It's better to stay!" Li Jing said suddenly.
Murong Xue looked surprised. Li Jing smiled slightly, "If I guess correctly, you should be the killer sent by Tian Lingzi. Now that your mission has failed, you probably won't have a good result when you go back. Although you have been murderous about me, you will help me resist the enemy soldiers later, even if the two of them are defeated."
"Don't you blame me?" Murong Xue said in a complicated heart. If Aunt Lan hadn't appeared suddenly at the end, she would have been ready to attack Li Jing at that time.
"Nothing is wrong, you are a good person." Li Jing changed his mind, "Besides, I also have an intelligence organization under my command, and I need a superb assassin like you. If you want, I hope you can join."
