Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 808 Decisive Battle at Luoyang Palace (6)

boring trick!
Even though the scuffle was unfolding fiercely right in front of his eyes, Li Xian was completely unmoved, he didn't even take a look at it. As for where the messy Cheng Wuting was, Li Xian also didn't bother to pay attention. He just stood there quietly, seemingly relaxed, but in fact the strings in his heart were tense, not for any other reason, but because Li Xian knew very well that the assassination scene in front of him was by no means a serious one, but just smoke That's all, the real killer is still hiding in the dark, Li Xian doesn't want to fall down when the victory is about to come!
The battle is still going on fiercely, although Qixia Guanren and others have been completely suppressed, but this gang of Niubi is very ruthless, and their fighting style is extremely fierce. The interception by Tong et al. After a few encounters, both sides lost a few people, but the battle situation is still deadlocked.

Bloody courage is commendable, but it will never last, especially after Cheng Wuting's troops finally suppressed the riots, facing the desperate situation of being completely surrounded by Cheng Bu and Dong Gongwei's army, the fighting spirit of the Qixia Taoist priests At the same time as it gradually dissipated, the fear in my heart also increased, and the battle situation that was already at a disadvantage suddenly tilted rapidly towards the side of "Ming Di". found out.

Kill, or kill!A group of "Mingdi" masters don't care what the Qixia people think, and they will not show mercy. After a stick of incense, the Qixia Guanren who can still fight desperately, including the blood-soaked Gar Yingong, are all left. Four people were defeated, but on the "Ming Di" side, there were still eight people who could fight, especially the three top fighters Luo Tong, Li Yaodong, and Ye Sheng were all intact. The demise of the court was a foregone conclusion, and the tense nerves of the courtiers watching the battle relaxed, and the discussion gradually became louder and louder. Obviously, there was room to comment on the battle situation.

"Li Xian, you will die badly, I'm a ghost... ah..."

Although Gar Yingong is quite skilled in martial arts, he is even better than the masters of Qixia Temple, but he is not born in the Jianghu after all, and he is used to fighting in battle formations. It was extremely difficult to deal with it, with many injuries on his body, and only relying on his extraordinary physique, he barely survived until now, but with the successive fall of the Taoist priests in Qixia audience, under Luo Tong's emphatic greeting, It was hard for Gar Yingong to support him, but the unwillingness in his heart became stronger, and he tried his best to curse, but before he could finish cursing, he was already slashed on the lower abdomen by Luo Tong , Under the pain, he couldn't stand anymore, let out a scream, and knelt heavily on the ground.

"Die!"

Luo Tong will not be soft on such a wolfish and ambitious man like Gar Yingong, no matter how serious his injury is, with a wave of his hand, a flash of saber light flashed, and Gar Yingong's huge head rolled towards him It fell to the ground, but before the life of Gar Yingong was about to disappear, there was a gratified smile on the corner of his mouth, not for anything else, but because he had seen an unparalleled sword light suddenly shine on the left side of the battlefield Get up, the speed is extremely fast, there is no doubt that it is the old Qingxu hidden in the dark who made the move!
"Om..."

Grandmaster's strike is of course no small matter, even if Qingxu old Taoist is already half-crippled, but his attainments in the way of swordsmanship are No. At a distance of more than twenty feet away from Li Xian, the sword light only flashed, and the human and sword united to kill Li Xian only a few feet away, and the extremely fierce sword light shook like a dragon. Like the sound of swords.

Is it finally here?Then fight!

Li Xian's reluctance to attack Lishui Xuan has two scruples, one is that Qixia Guanren and others will take advantage of the geographical advantage and bring unnecessary casualties to his soldiers, and the other is that he is worried that the old Taoist Qingxu will take advantage of the chaos and escape Probably because Qingxu's old-fashioned martial arts are too strong. Although there are many masters here, except for Li Xian himself, no one can stand in his way. Less, not to mention anything else, just assassinating in the dark is enough to make the Tang court go crazy, not much, killing some courtiers casually is enough for Li Xian to have a headache, if he has a chance Li Xian was so happy to eradicate it in one fell swoop, even if he had to take some risks, it was still worth it. Now, Qingxu old Taoist finally appeared, Li Xian dared not ignore it lightly. , as he passed by a guard of the Eastern Palace, he copied the horizontal knife that the guard of the Eastern Palace had obliquely inserted into his waist. flash out.

"Bass, bass, bass..."

The old Taoist Qingxu disguised himself as an old eunuch. Taking advantage of the chaos, he ran to the left side of the battlefield, pretended to be frightened, and lay down on the ground shivering, easily fooling the guard in charge. The guards of the East Palace also deceived the officers and soldiers of Cheng Wuting who were chasing after him. Even Li Xian couldn't find out that Qingxu Laodao had taken advantage of the chaos to lurk not far from him. At this time, Li Xian's mind should be at the most relaxed time. At this time, the success of the shot should be extremely high. Because of this, Qingxu Lao Dao brazenly launched a surprise attack, but he never expected that Li Xian's reaction would be so shocking. With such super speed, when Li Xian came to meet him with swords united, Qing Xu was shocked, and there was no possibility of changing his tactics, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose to fight Li Xian to the end. Hit, the two sides did not know how many head-to-head collisions, bursts of sparks splashed in all directions, and the clanging sound was like popping beans.

"How did you see it?"

The two figures circled and staggered in the air like a dragon, the speed was like the wind, making it hard to see the process clearly, the lights of the swords and swords flickered into one piece, it was extremely dazzling, in an instant, a hundred moves were passed, Following two muffled groans, the two figures parted to the left and right, each flew away, and landed on the ground almost at the same time, with a distance of five feet from each other. Standing up, he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Guess!"

Li Xian also laughed, spread his hands very calmly, and replied concisely.

"Guess? Hehe, what a guess! This old man has ruled the world for decades, and only two defeats fell into the hands of His Highness. Time is fate, haha..."

The old Taoist Qingxu shook his head with a wry smile, uttered a word of emotion, then raised his head and laughed wildly, but he laughed halfway, his body shook, and he fell heavily to the ground, a fountain of blood suddenly exploded in his chest , sprayed wildly into the air, before the person touched the ground, there was no sound, obviously in the battle just now, he had been fatally wounded.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Qingxu old man fell down, Li Xian obviously couldn't hold back anymore. He bent his waist slightly, coughed a few times, and a line of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. It was a terrible internal injury.

"Your Highness!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

At the same time as the two great masters were fighting, Luo Tong and the others had also beheaded the remaining three Qixia Taoist priests on the spot. When they saw Li Xian vomit blood, they all panicked and screamed. He came over and escorted Li Xian in the center.

"I'm fine!"

Li Xian stretched out his hand to wipe the blood line at the corner of his mouth, threw the horizontal knife on the ground, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the blood that was churning, shook his head, and said in a flat tone. The crowd came out and walked slowly towards the dumbfounded officials.

"Your Majesty waits to kowtow to His Highness!"

Most of the officials have heard that Li Xian's martial arts are superb, but few of them have actually seen Li Xian fight. They were shocked to see the fierceness and excitement of the previous battle, and they were all overwhelmed. , all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Xian, and they all bowed respectfully and paid homage incessantly.

"My dear friends, please excuse me. Although the overall situation has been roughly determined now, the remains of the former emperor are not to be disturbed too much. I invite the five ministers to accompany me to the palace, and the rest of the people will wait here. .”

Although the war is basically a foregone conclusion, the matter is not over yet. Not only the mystery of Gaozong's life and death needs to be solved, but also a headache, that is, how to deal with the chief culprit, Empress Wu. All the six internal organs are suffering from the shock injury, but they still can't rest, so they can only hold on and give orders.

"Your Majesty's order is to be obeyed!"

As far as the current situation is concerned, not to mention Gaozong is dead, even if he is not dead, no one can stop Li Xian from ascending the throne. No matter how many doubts Pei Xingjian and others have in their hearts, they dare not show it at this moment. They can only be Each bowed and kept promises.

"Master Zaifu, please!"

Seeing that all the ministers and workers had obeyed, Li Xian didn't bother to say any more. After saying something casually, he turned around and walked towards Lishuixuan. Seeing this, Pei Xingjian and the others dared not neglect to go, and followed suit step by step. Behind Li Xian... Although the Lishui Pavilion is not too big, it still has a main hall, a side hall, and dozens of side rooms. It could have accommodated more than two hundred people to live in it. All the eunuchs and court ladies had escaped, and the Lishui Pavilion was silent at this moment. Under the protection of Li Yaodong and other master guards, Li Xian and his party went all the way without hindrance, and they arrived at the main bedroom in a short while. At the first sight, I saw Empress Wu in a neat court uniform sitting on the edge of the couch, while Gaozong was lying on the couch without knowing his life or death. Come forward and say hello.

"My son has seen his mother!"

The five chancellors were at a loss as to what to do, but Li Xian was very calm, and his manners were still respectful, just like in normal times, which immediately made the hearts of all the prime ministers feel a little turbulent.
