Da Wei Chun

Chapter 577 Nine Dead Lives

"boom!"

"boom!"

Another two oil tanks were caught by Li's servants, and they were thrown back.Unbiasedly smashed into the archers on the side of the host road.As the oil tank was torn apart, several walls of fire rose from the ground, and the burning assassins cried and screamed.

After this chaos, a gap was opened in the formation like an iron bucket in an instant.Li Chengzhi rushed towards the gap with four servants, like five enraged beasts.

The leader of the assassins didn't expect that there would be such a flaw in a dead end that was supposed to be a must-kill?He was quick to wit, and shouted sharply: "Lay out the net!" "

"Lay the net!"

"Lay out the net..."

Shouts came and went, and the assassins on the side of the road ran back and forth.When Li Chengzhi rushed to the point where he was only ten steps away from the gap, a large net was suddenly erected on the side of the road.

The net is four to five feet long, and it should be made of raw silk. The knots are smooth and white, and are about as thick as a baby's forearm.

With just one glance, Li Chengzhi felt chills all over his body.The net is full of sharp hooks and barbs, if you touch it, you will definitely be hooked to death on the net.But the net rope is so thick, it is still standing in mid-air and unable to apply force, a cut will only add a shallow mark.

Not to mention fire.The raw silk is so tightly braided that even if oil is poured on it, it may take half a moment to burn off.By that time, I and several servants had already been entangled in a net.

Is it really a dead end?

The timing was so well chosen, and the plan was so rigorous, that apart from Gao Zhao, Li Chengzhi really couldn't think of another person.

But he couldn't figure it out even more, why did Gao Zhao dare to do such a disgraceful act in front of his own house?

You know, Li Chengzhi is not just an idle prince.He is the most important minister of the country who is so simple in the emperor's heart and can stir up the world's situation with every move.He is also a leading figure who is rising slowly among the clans of the Han family.

How dare Gao Zhao plot to assassinate him in broad daylight?

To be more serious, this is not just the enmity between him and Li Chengzhi.It was Gao Zhao who was blatantly provoking the imperial court, the empress dowager, and even the world's aristocratic families.

But if Gao Zhao had the confidence, he would directly turn against him after the big victory in Beizhen, why bother to go back to Beijing to seek the position of Taiwei, so as to plan a strategy secretly, in order to gain more confidence?
He is still far from the time when he will break with the family and break with the court.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that someone deliberately framed Gao Zhao?
As if a flash of light flashed in his mind, Li Chengzhi suddenly thought that he had become as thin as a skeleton, his face was full of death, but his eyes still looked like Yuanying with two flames burning...

The more critical, the calmer Li Chengzhi became.

This kind of calmness comes from the confidence of being a human being in two lifetimes, and it also comes from the experience of repeatedly committing dangers, narrowly escaped death from time to time, and almost died.

Although he is afraid of death, he never accepts his fate, let alone becomes incompetent and furious.

"retreat!"

Li Chengzhi screamed, turned around, and rushed towards the damaged carriage again.As long as the carriage is captured and the oil tank in the carriage is captured, the counterattack can be defended.

When he pulled away, his eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at the archway of the Gaofu.

Compared with just now, there are more figures on the archway, crowded like a school of sardines, and I can only see the heads of people shaking, dense and crowded.

If it was really Gao Zhao's doing, the servants of Gao's mansion, An Gan, formed a group to watch the excitement so much?
But what if Gao Zhao had expected it long ago and deliberately arranged it this way?
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts sprouted in Li Chengzhi's heart.But at this moment, how could he be left to look forward and backward, wavering?

Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth hard: "Go west, into Yannianli!"

"what!"

Before the roar fell, Li Chengzhi's heart tightened suddenly when he heard a familiar roar.

Li Rui?

He looked east suddenly, several retainers were fighting back to back with a dozen assassins.

The big man who looked like an iron tower no longer threw the oil tank, but held a big knife like a door panel and waited for it.

Looking at Li Rui again, he seemed to be crazy, and rushed towards the big man with a waist knife in his hand.

What is Li Yuaner doing?
Wu Shi's joint attack formation has already been practiced thousands of times, and he is no longer familiar with it.He only needs to line up defensively step by step to protect Li Chengzhi's rear wing.

But why do you want to fight the big man desperately, as if you are looking for death.

Just looking at his body shape, that big guy can fit three Li Ruis...

Li Rui screamed strangely, and raised the waist knife horizontally, piercing the big man's chest.The man didn't panic at all, and lightly knocked the big knife in his hand, and Li Rui's saber flew into the air like a toothpick.

Hmm, why is it so light, as if the thin monkey deliberately threw the knife away?
I can't manage that much, let's cut it first and then talk...

The big man muttered to himself, grinning, his face full of grinning.With the momentum of chopping Huashan with an axe, he slashed fiercely at Li Rui in front of him.

But when the knife fell, there was no one in front of him?
Can you still enter the ground out of thin air?

The big man was feeling lonely, when he suddenly felt a cold in his crotch, like a red-hot iron rod piercing his perineum, and in an instant, a piercing pain hit his whole body.

When he lowered his head again, there was an arrow stuck in his crotch, and the tail feathers were still trembling.The dazzling blood dripped down like water.

Before the big man let out a miserable cry, Li Rui rolled on the ground, then jumped up, and slammed the dagger into the back of the big man's neck.

When Li Chengzhi reacted, the big man had already fallen to the ground, and Li Rui had already gotten into the carriage.

Haha, Li Rui is doing great...

Li Chengzhi was ecstatic.

Didn't expect Li Yuan'er to be so courageous, with such poisonous eyes, to think of the same thing as himself?
It seemed that he was going to die with the big man, but the target was the wrecked car.There is an oil tank in that car...

But before he was happy for three seconds, the smile froze on Li Chengzhi's face.

Li Rui got out of the carriage, with a mournful face: "It's empty, there's no oil tank..."

Impossible, why is it so anticlimactic?
How could it be possible that Gao Meng had only collected a few cans of oil, even though he had killed and injured tens of thousands of civilians?

Just as he was having doubts in his heart, Li Rui seemed to be going crazy, his facial features huddled together in an instant, and his voice was so shrill and sharp, it was so piercing: "Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

It was almost an instinctive reaction, like hitting the head with a hammer, nailing Li Chengzhi into the ground.The long and slender figure suddenly became shorter, half shortened out of thin air.Upon closer inspection, Li Chengzhi's body seemed to be folded together, with his head resting on his instep and his hands clasping his back knees.

In the blink of an eye again, Li Chengzhi shrunk into a ball and rolled out several feet away.

Just at this time, a few guns shot like lightning.As if the air would be torn apart, there was an ear-piercing strange noise.

"dong dong dong dong..."

The sound came and went one after another, like the sound of a war drum.Several crossbow spears were nailed to the bodies of several servants of the Li family with a mighty force.

The two servants were knocked upside down, and with a muffled grunt, blood gushed out of their mouths.Blown by the wind, it seems to fall down like flower petals.

With a "chi" sound, another blood arrow shot up, and a huge head flew into the air.And the body in silver armor was still standing there, as straight as a javelin.

A gun flew out tightly against Li Chengzhi's scalp.If he got a foot closer, he would end up passing through his head.

But Li Chengzhi didn't realize it, he paused for several breaths.

Looking at the retainer who had lost his head and fell to the ground, his heart seemed to be on fire, as if the blood in his whole body had boiled, scalding his whole body.

But the mind is clearer and the thinking is faster.

This is not Gao Zhao's method.

It is said that Uncle Zixiao, this sentence is still confirmed by Yuan Ke and Gao Zhao.Compared with Yuan Ke, Gao Zhao's temperament is more feminine and careful.

If Gao Zhao really wanted to put him to death, and he didn't hesitate to attack him in front of his own house, why was he so troublesome to use a crossbow?

Just dig a few pits in the road in advance, and then bury them with kerosene.Then he was trapped in it with his people and his car, and he was burned to death just by burning him.

The cart crossbow, the hook net, the armored cavalry blocking the two ends of the imperial road, and the empty chariot all showed that the assassin did not have much kerosene, and the assassination was still using conventional means.

Li Chengzhi turned around suddenly, and he saw that the oil tanks were no longer thrown by the side of the road, but the hook net was in front, and the swordsmen and spearmen were behind, pressing over like two walls.

The cavalry at both ends also began to urge their horses, intending to speed up and charge.

Not Gao Zhao?

But if it wasn't for him, who else could have planned such a big murder under Gao Zhao's nose?

It's even more likely that the old thief has already noticed it, but he pretends to be confused, and he will be happy to have someone help him get rid of his confidant.

Yes or no, you can only gamble...

Li Chengzhi used almost all his strength, and shouted to the sky: "Gao Yun, when do you want to see?"

"Is it the Duke?"

"Is it really Li Guogong?"

There was a sudden exclamation on the archway of Gaofu.Princess Gaoping's face was as white as paper.

"Gao Yun, Cui'e said just now that those silver-armored guards seemed to be Li's servants, whether someone was trying to assassinate Li Guogong. But you said that Li Guogong closed his house and hadn't entered the city for several months. She must be dazzled. But at this time Even Gu can hear clearly, are you going to call Gu Ji deaf again?"

Gao Yun bowed deeply: "I dare not!"

Before he could hear the words, he felt a figure rushing towards him. As soon as he raised his head, Princess Gao Ping's face almost touched the tip of the nose of the chief steward of the Gao Mansion.

Gao Yun panicked and was about to back away.The sleeves were tightened, and it was the mistress who grabbed his arm.

Princess Gao Ping trembled slightly, her voice was low and inaudible: "Today... was it done by the son-in-law?"

How can you talk nonsense?

Gao Yun knelt down with a "plop": "Princess be careful, how could the Patriarch be so ignorant and commit such a rebellious act?"

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Princess Gao Ping's voice was so high-pitched that it almost pierced Gao Yun's eardrum.

Gao Yun had no choice but to stand up and bow to Gao Ping: "Princess, don't panic, I'm going to rescue Li Guogong!"

Going down the archway, Gao Yun glanced into the street and saw Li Chengzhi, who was as fierce as a tiger and like a madman, struggling to kill him, he couldn't help admiring him.

Sure enough, as the son-in-law expected, Li Guogong will be able to see through today's situation, and it is definitely not the work of the Gaofu.

It's just that it's too early to drink up.If we wait a little longer, it would be nice to wait for Li Guogong to get some injuries.

The same is sending charcoal in the snow, and it is also saving water and fire in distress, but the kindness that falls is very different from the moment earlier and the moment later.

Like a thorn on his back, Gao Yun only felt a faint chill in the back of his head, knowing that the mistress must be staring at him.Gao Yun didn't dare to neglect, and gave orders repeatedly.

As if emerging from the ground, countless armored guards suddenly jumped out from behind the pavilion, in the bamboo grove, and in the ear room, armed with swords and bows, rushing out of the high mansion like wolves and tigers.

If it is not prepared, a fool will not believe it.

Li Chengzhi was ecstatic.

No matter what, today's life is taken back.

The leader of the assassins looked ashamed, and his face was ashen!
The Lord swears, saying that Gao Zhao and Li Chengzhi are already in the same situation, and they both wish to put each other to death and hurry up.Therefore, even if Gao Zhao was aware of it, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb, watching with cold eyes.

But what about now?

I'm afraid that this section has already been calculated, and I have made sufficient preparations, and I am waiting for this favorable favor.

miscalculated...

He sighed in disappointment, drew out the long knife under his waist, and slashed at the horse's butt: "Kill, never die!"

The guard beside him held up the bull's horn and blew vigorously, and the desolate and simple horn resounded in all directions.

Before, they were just pressing forward step by step, but after hearing the military order, no matter the spearmen holding nets on the side of the road or the cavalry at both ends, it seemed that the torrent that had broken the embankment came rushing forward.

The remaining four servants of the Li family tightly surrounded Li Chengzhi, like a flat boat on a sea with strong winds and huge waves.

In just an instant, the boat was swallowed by the waves.But in a blink of an eye, it popped up again, as if it couldn't sink no matter what.

"To form an array...to form an array...to protect my lord..."

Li Rui screamed repeatedly, and swung his waist knife with all his strength, trying to isolate the spear that was stabbing at Li Chengzhi.

But he was too short in stature, with more than enough flexibility, but not enough strength.And the stabbing guns were as dense as raindrops, and it was impossible to guard against.

There was a sound of "ding ding" in his ears, as if he was lying in a sieve, his armor was trembling from being stabbed by random guns, and Li Rui felt his lips were stunned.

"Tie your head... tie your head..."

Someone in the assassin formation suddenly yelled, and Li Rui was so frightened that his whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave for three or nine days.

Although Mr. Lang is wearing armor, he doesn't have a pocket. How can he guard against it?

"Squat down... Sir, squat down..."

Squat a bird feather?

There are only four servants, and it only takes four shots to kill them. Even if he squats down and hides behind Li Rui, he will only live a few more breaths.

The gleam of joy that had just been born was swept away, and Li Chengzhi felt his hair stand on end and trembled all over his body.

The feeling from the first time I went to the battlefield surged up again, as if I was scared to death, but I was extremely prepared, and my strength was even greater.

Every time he swung the knife, several spear heads would fly up, and the tip of the knife seemed to have eyes, sweeping the sword soldiers behind the net, and blood flew everywhere.

Eyesight is even more poisonous, every time a gun is stabbed, he either tilts his head to avoid it, or he swung his arm to block it.

But it's a pity that Li Chengzhi doesn't have eyes in the back of his head.

With a "poof", the retainer beside Li Rui spat out a mouthful of blood, then opened his mouth wide, unable to even utter a miserable howl.

And in the throat suddenly stuck a long spear, passing through the neck.

it's over...

It was purely an instinctive reaction, Li Rui let out a groan, and leaped while grabbing the spear.Jumped up like a monkey, climbed to the top of Li Chengzhi's head, and lifted the breastplate again.

It was dark before his eyes, as if something covered his head.He also felt a violent shock in the back of his waist, as if stabbed by the end of a gun, Li Chengzhi staggered and fell down.

"Uh……"

There was a muffled hum in his ear, and it seemed that a ladle of warm water had been poured into his neck, which was sticky and wet.

With the pungent smell of blood lingering in his nose, Li Chengzhi felt as if struck by lightning: "Li Rui... Li Rui?"
