Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 66 Mutual calculation, failure

Tie Shengwen was at the end, his whole body was filled with energy transformed by strong internal force, forming an invisible wall of energy, blocking those unknown Gu worms behind him.

As he retreated slowly, the iron fan in his hand kept flapping.The internal force came out through the body, turned into an invisible sharp blade, and rushed into the swarm of insects in front. Wherever it passed, without a sound, the Gu worms that were brushed by the sharp edge of the internal force were cut in half immediately. fell to the ground.

These Gu insects are actually not difficult to deal with, even ordinary soldiers can kill a lot of them with swords.

It's just that this thing is extremely poisonous, and if you touch it, you will die. If it is not for high-level warriors who have body-protecting true energy, or for ordinary warriors, they will die from it in the blink of an eye.

Under the support of Tie Shengwen, the remaining guards finally escaped from Xiyi Palace.

But at this moment, Tie Shengwen, who was standing in front of the swarm, suddenly discovered that the Gu worms had just sprung out of Xiyi Palace, and died immediately, their bodies falling from the sky like raindrops.

Gu worm corpses were spread all over the ground outside Xiyi Palace.

Tie Shengwen didn't know the reason, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu worms are not difficult to deal with, but the number is astonishingly large, if this continues, he will always be boiled to death.Even just now, Tie Shengwen had the idea of ​​leaving the guard behind and leaving alone.

"Mr. Tie, the bug, the bug is dead!" the remaining guards couldn't help saying happily.

Tie Shengwen frowned, closed the iron fan in his hand, and glanced at the remaining guards with an ugly expression.

Although he had already reacted immediately, the Gu worm really caught them off guard.Of the five hundred guards, only half of them escaped from Xiyi Palace.One by one, with lingering fear in their hearts and panicked faces, how can they still have half a point of morale?

Tie Shengwen's hand holding the iron fan showed blue veins, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Where's Chu Li?"

After hearing the words, all the guards glanced around, but they didn't see any trace of Chu Li.

"Eunuch Chu said that he was timid and didn't want to see blood, so he didn't follow him into Xiyi Palace just now." A guard said hastily.

Tie Shengwen was furious in his heart, and said in a hateful voice:

"Okay, what a guts..."

Speaking of this, Tie Shengwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, was startled suddenly, and said anxiously:

"No, the Grand Master is in danger! Hurry up, go to Xuanzheng Hall!"

Chu Lihua's thoughts are so big, it must not be directed at herself!The real target should be the grand master who is not surrounded by many guards at this time!
After all, Tie Shengwen didn't care about trouble with Chu Li, and ran towards the Xuanzheng Hall without saying a word.Seeing this, all the guards also followed.

But just as the group of people ran across the corner, Tie Shengwen, the leader, gave a sudden pause and looked ahead in disbelief.

Chu Li bowed and stood in front of him, looking at Tie Shengwen with a smile.Standing beside him was Cheng Bushi, holding a saber and wearing a battle armor.

Behind the two of them, the imperial army stood up with iron shields and spears everywhere, and then even archers drew their bows and set arrows, aiming at the hands of all the people in the Grand Master's Mansion.

Tie Shengwen stared at Cheng Bushi, gritted his teeth and said:
"Are you from the Ailao clan?"

At this time, Tie Shengwen felt regretful in his heart.He didn't know how to show his prominence in the Forbidden Army before, and he was quite proud, thinking that he had discovered the talent of a general for Wang Xiao.

Before that, he specially kept the two lieutenants under Zhongli's subordinates to check and balance Cheng Bushi, and prevent the imperial army from falling into the hands of one person again.

But Tie Shengwen never expected that it was precisely because of his respect for Cheng Bushi that the two captains of the Forbidden Army regarded Cheng Bushi as his man and dared not disobey him.

In addition, these two school lieutenants were wastes who were good at flirting with each other and making changes according to the wind. In this way, Cheng Bushi, who was the least qualified, easily took control of the forbidden army.

With no expression on his face, Cheng Bushi said in a deep voice:
"I don't know what the Ailao family is. I'm just working for His Majesty! Grand Master Wang Xiao is arrogant and domineering. He despises His Majesty. He is rebellious. If Mr. Tie abandons his secrets and turns to the light, I don't know how to intercede for him!"

Tie Shengwen's hands trembled slightly, he smiled angrily, and said:

"Little emperor? Hahaha, the little emperor is stupid, but he is a good puppet. Anyone can use his name!"

Seeing Tie Shengwen's appearance, Chu Li on the side knew that he wanted to go to the dark with all his heart, shook his head, and said to Cheng Buzhi:

"Lieutenant Cheng, I'm weak and I really can't see the blood, so I'll leave it to you later!"

Cheng Buzhi sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

Chu Li turned around and left unsteadily.

Behind him, Cheng Bushi said in a cold voice:

"Fire arrows!"

In Yongxin Hall, everything was ready, Nan Rongshu raised her hand slightly, and said coldly:
"Go!"

"Yes!"

A group of Ailao clansmen, dressed in the costumes of servants in the palace, surrounded Nan Rongshu, and came out of Yongxin Hall with a murderous look.

But this momentum didn't last long, the few people who opened the way ahead just opened the door of Yongxin Palace, they froze and stopped on the spot.

Nan Rongshu sensed something was wrong, and suddenly looked up.

In front of the palace gate of Yongxin Palace, Xiao Cheng was dressed in a gorgeous black gown, with wide sleeves rolled up to the elbows, without a crown, leaning on a long sword, smiling at Nan Rongshu who was standing still. He waved his hand.

"Zhaoyi, long time no see! I left quietly before, but I thought about it for a long time!" Xiao Cheng jokingly said.

With a stiff face, Nan Rongshu walked out of the palace gate and glanced around.

At this time, the Hall of Eternal Faith had already been surrounded by the brigade of the Forbidden Army.One by one, they were full of murderous intent, waiting in full force, and there was a disagreement, which meant to kill everyone in front of them on the spot.

"Your Majesty, why don't you pretend today?" Nan Rongshu stared at Xiao Cheng, gritted her teeth.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud, pouted his lips to his side, and said:

"Hahaha, from now on, I don't have to pretend anymore!"

Wang Xiao stood beside Xiao Cheng with a livid face.

It's ridiculous that Wang Xiao thought that the Ailao clan was a serious problem, but he didn't realize it until this time.It turned out that whether it was him or the Ailao clan, the little emperor had already calculated it into him.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.It's hard to say who is the cicada and who is the mantis, but in short, Xiao Cheng is the last oriole.
-
More than a month ago, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking at Chu Li who was kneeling on the ground, Xiao Cheng casually said:

"Secret way? The secret way of the royal family you are talking about is the secret way of Xiyi Palace? Then I already knew about it!"

Hearing this, Chu Li tremblingly said:

"Your Majesty, there is not only one secret passage in the palace!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"More than one?"

"Yes, there is more than one. The servant and foster father, entrusted by the late emperor, dug out the secret passage of the palace. In order to prevent his subordinates from revealing it, and also to conceal people's eyes and ears when they escape in the future, he told his subordinates that he built a secret passage. In fact, he built two secret passages. One is in Xiyi Palace, and the other is in Yongxin Palace."

"Hall of Eternal Faith? Concubine Zhang's Hall of Eternal Faith?"

"Yes, Concubine Zhang is quite favored by the late emperor, and she has some tricks in the harem, so she also participated in it."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, his face revealing a pensive expression.

　Just wait. . . .
