The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 196

Hearing Su Wan's words, Li Shimin said, "Shouldn't the city gate be closed at this time? How did Yin Hongzhi leave the city?"

"Someone said that Yin Hongzhi took the concubine Yin's token and said he was going out of the city on business. That's why the city gate is allowed." Su Wan said.

"Damn Cheng Chumo, doesn't he know how to bring someone to stop me? By the way, did the visitor tell me how many people left the city altogether?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It is said that there are only a dozen people, but they are all riding horses." Su Wan said.

Concubine Yin was completely dumbfounded at this time, he never thought that his younger brother would be so heartless.Not only did he disregard his own life and death, but he also took his son away.

So he said to Li Shimin with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, hurry up and send someone to chase after him, and he must not let him hurt You'er."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Chengqian said, "Father, you don't need to worry about this matter. My son will immediately lead the four elephant guards to chase after him, and he will definitely bring the fifth brother back."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and took Su Wan away from the Lizheng Hall.At this time, Concubine Yin was already crying.

……

After Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he immediately ordered people to carry horses.And let Xue Rengui and Zhao Tingxuan, each with their own troops, follow him out of the city to chase Yin Hongzhi.

At the same time, Jiang Chengzu was ordered to pass on the order to Qin Huaidao and Yuchi Baolin.Let them take their troops to arrest Yan Hongliang and Yan Hongxin brothers.

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and led the people out of the East Palace towards Mingde Gate.

When Li Chengqian came to Mingde Gate, the soldiers who took out the prince's badge to guard the gate naturally did not dare to intercept.He hurriedly opened the city gate and let Li Chengqian out of the city.

Of course, Li Chengqian did not forget to ask Yin Hongzhi the direction he was going.Sure enough, as Li Chengqian expected, Yin Hongzhi took Li You to rush to Youzhou.

If Yin Hongzhi really made it to Youzhou, even if Li Shimin sent people to chase him, it would be useless.

At that time, not only will there be the protection of Fan Yang's Lu family, but also Youzhou will be located in the border.Yin Hongzhi can take Li You to Xi Country or Goguryeo at any time.

So along the way, Li Chengqian was rushing, after all, there was almost an hour difference between the two leaving the city.

……

Li Chengqian chased him until dawn the next day, but he didn't see Yin Hongzhi's shadow.But the city of Chang'an has become a mess.

The two brothers Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang received the news that Li Chengqian led troops out of the city immediately.So they can't take care of their families anymore.

Gathering the dead servants they raised directly, they prepared to cross the city wall in the dark, and then fled to Youzhou.

But when they climbed the city wall secretly, they were discovered by the city wall defenders.So a bloody battle cannot be avoided.

Although the defenders on the city wall are all regular troops, their combat effectiveness cannot compare with the dead servants supported by the two brothers.

After all, these dead servants are all desperadoes, and some of them are veterans in the army, they are all elite soldiers.

So for a while, the defenders of the city wall really couldn't be mistaken.Fortunately, Qin Huaidao and Yuchi Baolin came in time.Otherwise, I am afraid that Yan Hongxin and his brother will have escaped from Chang'an City.

And Cheng Chumo also gathered the prince guard rate immediately.also participated in the battle.All of a sudden, under the walls of Chang'an City, those who were killed were bloody corpses lying across the field.

The final outcome is of course self-evident. The two brothers Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang, as well as the two thousand dead servants they supported, all became souls killed by the sword.

But this didn't make Li Shimin relax his frowning brows, because at this moment he was worried about his son Li You, wondering if Li Chengqian could rescue Li You back.

In order to vent his anger, Li Shimin ordered the whole family of Yan's family and Yin's family to be executed.It can even be described as a chicken and a dog.

If Li Chengqian saw this scene, he probably wouldn't say that Li Shimin lacked the ruthlessness of a king.

But this time Li Shimin ordered Cao Yin's family to be full, and even Concubine Yin didn't intercede.Because at this moment, she was desperate for her younger brother.

Li Chengqian said that she was his younger brother's pawn, and it was confirmed at this moment.

……

Before the blood in Chang'an City was dry, Li Chengqian had already led people across Puzhou.But Yin Hongzhi was never seen from the beginning to the end.

This couldn't help but make Li Chengqian feel strange, even if they left for an hour first, they would definitely not reach the point where Li Chengqian could not catch up.

So Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked Xue Rengui: "Do you think it is possible for us to chase too far?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince means that Yin Hongzhi's false intention to come to Youzhou is just to deceive people's eyes and ears." Xue Rengui said.

"He was notified by Concubine Yin, and he came to Chang'an City with the gold medal of Concubine Yin. So he must know everything that happened in the palace."

"This made him rush out of the city overnight, so he should have expected that there would be pursuers. I feel that it is possible that he is still near Chang'an City now." Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness said so, I think he is likely to wait for Yan Hongxin and them in Chang'an City." Xue Rengui said.

As soon as Xue Rengui finished speaking, Zhao Tingxuan opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, why don't we divide our troops into two groups. You and Brother Xue will bring people back to Chang'an City, and I will lead people to continue chasing in the direction of Youzhou."

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, and then led people towards Chang'an City with Xue Rengui.Zhao Tingxuan continued to lead people to chase in the direction of Youzhou.

In order to save time, all the soldiers led by the Four Elephant Guards even ate on horseback, and the horses never stopped.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian's support from a horse dealer like Wang Hai, every soldier would be equipped with two horses.It is estimated that even if people can bear it, horses may not be able to bear it.

……

"Uncle, why did we leave Chang'an City suddenly?" Li You asked Yin Hongzhi rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Your father, Li Shimin, doesn't care about family affection, and now he has killed your mother and concubine. Uncle is worried that you will be killed by your father, so he is going to take you to Youzhou, and then leave for Goguryeo." Yin Hongzhi eyed Said to Li You with tears in his eyes.

"Impossible, why did my father kill my mother and concubine for no reason. Uncle, you must have lied to me, right? We came out to hunt." Li You was completely panicked at this time.

"What uncle said is true, because you are so outstanding. Empress Changsun was afraid that you would steal her son's position as crown prince, so she framed your mother and concubine."

"But the foolish emperor Li Shimin actually obeyed the words of that treacherous concubine, Empress Changsun. Now the poisonous wine has been sent to send your mother and concubine on the road." Yin Hongzhi said with a mournful face.

And at this moment, a pair of men and horses came out from the opposite mountain forest.This could not help but make Yin Hongzhi's face show a smile.
