Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 363
Looking at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, Li Xian's face was extremely solemn, and his always tenacious mind could not help being disturbed by it - after several days of rushing, coupled with the continuous hard fighting since last night, even though all the guards Morale is still high, but both physical strength and horsepower are unbearable to fight again. If the person who comes is an enemy, the trouble will be serious. Although Li Xian himself is confident that he can break out alone, all the people under his command are waiting for him. I'm afraid they have to confess to being on the North Plains.

"Hahaha, the reinforcements from a certain family are here. If His Highness is sensible, he will release the last general quickly. If not, hehe, I'm afraid His Highness will die without a place to bury him!"

Zhao Zhao noticed the change in Li Xian's expression, and immediately followed Li Xian's gaze. Seeing the smoke and dust in the northwest direction, he jumped up in joy, and threatened with a laugh.

"Really? Didn't you say that this king is a 'Black Wind Bandit' this time? Interesting, interesting!"

No matter what kind of troops came, there was one thing Li Xian knew, that is, when his troops were exhausted, even if they ran with all their strength, they would definitely get rid of the rolling soldiers and horses. He simply kept his mind and planned to wait here to see what happened. At this moment, when he heard that Zhao Zhao slipped his mouth out of complacency, he couldn't help being angry and funny for a while, so he curled his lips and sneered in disdain With Zhao Zhao's sentence, the evil spirit on his body suddenly rose up, and Zhao Zhao's legs were so weak that he sat down on the ground again.

"You, you, don't, don't mess around, a certain family is an official of the court, a certain family..."

After being charged by Li Xian's evil spirit, Zhao Zhao realized that he was still in Li Xian's palm. It would depend on Li Xian's mood to die or live. The earlier excitement burst like soap bubbles. Looking clean, he looked at Li Xian with trepidation, talking nonsense in his mouth.

"Imperial official? Zhao Zhao, in front of this king, you, an ant-like thing, dare to call yourself an official. Just because of your crime of leading troops to attack this king, it is already a felony to exterminate the nine clans. Do you really think that Will the king's cruel mother save you? Hey, let me tell you the truth, not to mention that you are now in the hands of the king, even if you really have the ability to kill the king, you will definitely escape the poisonous hand of the mouth, you There are dead people on the left and right, and you are still talking to this king about the official order of the court, do you really not know how to write the word 'death'?"

Li Xian was annoyed in his heart. Seeing Zhao Zhao's cowardly behavior, he hated Zhao Zhao even more. He didn't bother to play around with him any more. , unceremoniously sentenced him to death.

"No, you, you, you nonsense, this general, this general..."

After being given such a blow by Li Xian, Zhao Zhao's mentality immediately collapsed, but there was still a trace of luck left, he refused to plead guilty, and stammered to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. , until his face was as pale as a pig's liver.

Ok?It's Ling Zhong coming, ha, boy, it's just in time!Li Xian ignored Zhao Zhao, and just looked at the smoke and dust with a cold face. After a while, he saw a fiery red battle flag appearing in the smoke and dust, and the big "Ling" character on it clearly showed Besides Longzhou governor Ling Zhong, who else has the details of the visitor?Overjoyed in Li Xian's heart, he immediately put his heart back into his stomach completely, but he didn't show anything else, just stood there calmly, quietly waiting for the arrival of Ling Zhong's subordinates.

"Your Highness, you are surprised by the delay in the future, and the death penalty, the death penalty!"

The speed of the soldiers and horses charging from a distance was astonishing, but within a short time, Ling Zhong had already led more than [-] cavalry to the front. When he saw Li Xian standing on a big rock with a smile on his face, Ling Zhong The hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and without caring too much, he hurriedly turned over and got off the horse, rushed to Li Xian, touched one knee to the ground, and pleaded guilty with a sob in his voice.

"It doesn't matter, it's okay to come late or come early, but it's good if it disappears."

For Ling Zhong, a beloved general, Li Xian had always held him in high regard, seeing that he was panicked at this moment, he smiled and comforted him.

"Your Highness is mighty, invincible in the world, and the general admires him..."

As soon as Ling Zhong received the liaison officer sent by Li Xian last night, he rushed to send troops, but it was too late to receive the letter. Even though he rushed all the way, he couldn't reach the battlefield in time, so he was inevitably anxious. Previously, he was worried about Li Xian's safety, so he really didn't look at the results of the battle carefully. After he stood up, he suddenly discovered that the royal guards with more than [-] people had captured nearly [-] prisoners of war, and he was immediately shocked. Suddenly, flattery came out of his mouth involuntarily.

"Forget it, Ling Zhong, the more you become an official, the more you are able to flatter people. I guess it's because you often listen to the boss's flattery on weekdays, huh?"

Although he knew that what Ling Zhong said was from his heart, Li Xian naturally didn't like those subordinates playing those flattering tricks. If someone flattered Li Xian in front of him, the result would not be much better. Of course, For a confidant and beloved general like Ling Zhong who knew everything, Li Xian would not say anything serious, he just laughed and teased him.

"Your Highness, the last general, the last general..."

Being ridiculed by Li Xian, Ling Zhong immediately panicked. He really didn't know what to say for a while, and was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Forget it, I'm just laughing, you don't need to be too nervous, oh, those soldiers are nominally under your control, and you took them back, and you can figure out how to deal with them yourself." Seeing Ling Zhong Flustered like this, Li Xian shook his head angrily and amusedly, and was too lazy to talk nonsense. He pointed to the group of captured Guanlong cavalry and gave orders. Zhao Zhaoti slipped up, threw it in front of him, and said murderously: "As for this bastard, I don't need to worry about it, I have my own arrangements."

"Oops!" The first time he saw Ling Zhong coming, Zhao Zhao was already panicked to the extreme, and was struggling to think of a way to escape, when Li Xian threw him off like this, he immediately cried out in pain, It's just that wealth and life are important, so I don't care too much, I hugged Ling Chong's feet in a hurry, and shouted anxiously: "Dudu Ling, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, the general just heard that there was a 'Black Wind Bandit' making trouble, this You just sent troops to quell the chaos, but you really didn't know that this matter had something to do with His Highness the King of England, a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding, General Ling, for the sake of my comrades, you..."

"Fuck your mother!"

It was fine if Zhao Zhao didn't say these words, and after saying this, Ling Zhong immediately went away violently, and when he thought of all the bad deeds of this fellow in the past, Ling Zhong couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked Zhao Zhao rolling on the ground. Land, that's not counting, Ling Zhong's figure flashed, and the man rushed forward, holding Zhao Zhao down and beating violently, until Zhao Zhao cried for his father and mother, begging for mercy.

"enough."

Li Xian also wanted to beat Zhao Zhao up, but because of his status, he didn't want to do it in public. At this time, Ling Zhong was acting on his behalf. Li Xian was very happy to see it, and he was not in a hurry to stop it. , Li Xian didn't make a sound until Zhao Zhao was beaten silently.

"Your Highness, the last general is rude. This dog is really the one who is hated too much. The last general can't hold back for a while, so please punish him, Your Highness."

Ling Chong had long thought of beating Zhao Zhao violently, and this time he had had enough of his addiction. Seeing that Zhao Zhao had been beaten unconscious, Ling Zhong immediately felt extremely relieved, and excitedly beat Zhao Zhao one more time. With a big ear in mind, he bowed to Li Xian with a look of panic, and hurriedly apologized.

Hehe, this kid put a lot of effort outside, has his acting skills improved!Li Xian laughed secretly in his heart, but his face was indifferent, he shook his hand and said: "Forget it, just fight, just leave a sigh of relief, go ahead, take care of your soldiers, I still have something to say Ask this guy."

"promise!"

Ling Chongshuang was too happy. Hearing what Li Xian said, he didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly agreed, ran to his own team and issued a series of orders to tie up all the captured officers and soldiers. Bet in the array.

"Get up, are you pretending to be dead in front of Gu? Believe it or not, Gu cut me alive!"

Li Xian ignored Ling Zhong's miscellaneous matters, but walked slowly in front of Zhao Zhao, unceremoniously kicked Zhao Zhao with his toe, and snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, please spare your life, the general is willing to work for your highness, please forgive the life of this general, your lord has a lot, the general..."

Sensing the undisguised murderous aura on Li Xian, Zhao Zhao didn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore, turned over, knelt on the ground, and begged like pounding garlic.

"After all, who gave you the secret order, and who instigated you to do such a despicable act, tell me!"

With a cold face, Li Xian let Zhao Zhao howl until he was tired of shouting, and then squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"The little one said it, the little one said it, and please forgive the little one this time. The little one will never dare to offend His Highness Huwei again. The little one is willing to do the same for His Highness. Please don't want it I have the same knowledge as the little ones, the little ones..."

Zhao Zhao kept begging, but he just refused to tell the truth. Obviously, he wanted to bargain with Li Xian.

"Don't tell me? Good job, do you really think that Gu is easy to talk about?"

Li Xian already knew that this secret order came from Empress Wu, this is an undoubted fact, there was no need for Zhao Zhao to confess, in fact, it would not be of much use even if Zhao Zhao confessed, if he wanted to use this to bring down Empress Wu, There is no possibility at all, and the reason is very simple. Based on Li Xian's understanding of Empress Wu, since she dared to do this, she must have already arranged a way out. With the confession of a petty official like Zhao Zhao, it is impossible to testify against Empress Wu. Even if it works, it's useless, Gaozong doesn't have the courage to use force at all, what Li Xian really wants to know is who is going through the needles in this matter - Empress Wu himself is far away in Luoyang, no matter how capable she is, she can't It is impossible to direct this assassination by remote control. The person in charge must be someone else. As far as this person's method of setting up the situation is concerned, it is really not simple. I'm afraid it will be really difficult to get out of this conspiracy safely, like this kind of enemy, Li Xian dare not ignore it lightly, how can he rest assured if he doesn't ask clearly. , Immediately got annoyed, and unceremoniously cut off Zhao Zhao's left ear.

"what……"

Zhao Zhao obviously didn't expect that Li Xian would really dare to stab him, and he cried out in shock as soon as he felt the pain, covering the bleeding wound with his hand, trembling like chaff.

"Say it, if you don't say it, your hand will be broken with the next blow!"

Li Xian just wanted to know the root cause, he didn't care whether Zhao Zhao was dead or alive, he swung his saber, ready to strike.

"Ah, no, the little one said it, the little one said it, it's a cloaked man, the little one doesn't know its origin, the little one said everything he knew..."

Frightened by Li Xian, Zhao Zhao didn't dare to take any chances anymore, and hurriedly told about the Cloaked Man one by one, and repeatedly emphasized that this person held the token of Empress Wu, and he was a member of the Empress Wu sect. As for the master who came out, as for this person's background, what Zhao Zhao talked about was all conjecture and nonsense, which made Li Xian's brows furrowed.
