Chapter 162 The Death of Bad Commander!
Valentino, originally named Huayang Needle Crossbow, is a weapon designed by Yuan Tiangang based on his own Huayang acupuncture and crossbow. It is one of the top mechanical weapons in the Tang Dynasty arsenal. More than two hundred years ago, Fan Qiaoer shot and killed Zhang Wulang, who had taken more than ten immortality pills, with the Huayang Needle Crossbow.
Whoosh...
After the trigger of the Huayang Needle Crossbow was pulled, dozens of Huayang needles immediately scattered like mercury on the ground. "Your Highness, hurry up!" The speaker was a young man who looked to be about the same age as Li Xingyun. A group of bad guys rushed into the herd of horses coming from Tongwenguan, causing a commotion among the war horses.
Li Cunxiao wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Li Cunzhong, who said, "Don't chase, Old Ten. We can't stop Li Xingyun. Don't forget that we are not allies with the Liang army."
Li Cunzhong still had some brains. If the people from Tongwenguan continued to fight with Li Xingyun, then Han Jian might lead the Zhenguo Army to reap the benefits.
Without the obstruction of the Tongwenguan assassin, Li Xingyun took the opportunity to climb onto his horse, stretched out his hand toward Chi Meng and shouted, "Go!"
Chi Meng took a step forward, grabbed Li Xingyun's arm with one hand, and was instantly pulled onto the horse's back by Li Xingyun. At this time, Ying Gou stepped on the horse's head of a Liang soldier with his toes and jumped out of the crowd.
Ying Gou jumped out of the crowd and his face changed immediately. Then his murderous eyes regained clarity and his voice became that of a sister. "Hey, Li Xingyun, wait for me!"
Han Jian sat on his warhorse and looked back at the granary where black smoke was rising, then looked at the warhorses that had not yet been retrieved. He snorted coldly and said, "Leave a team of people to collect our warhorses, and the rest of you, go back to put out the fire!"
It's not that Han Jian didn't want to hunt down Li Xingyun, it's really that he didn't want his army to not be able to survive the winter because of Li Xingyun. Now the world is unpredictable, and various forces are storing food and troops. Even Zhu Youzhen, who is sitting high in Luoyang City, has begun to train his own army.
Ever since Han Jian received Li Zhen's secret letter, he no longer talked about being loyal to Zhu Youzhen. He did not rebel only for Zhu Wen's sake. Now Han Jian wanted to strengthen himself and wait and see what would happen. Who knows, maybe someone would march into Luoyang, and then he would go and join in the fun!
……
"Bad man Zhang He, I greet your Highness."
Zhang He bowed to Li Xingyun, then presented the Chinese Yang Needle Crossbow in his hand and said, "This is something that my great-grandfather brought with him. Now it is returned to its original owner."
Li Xingyun took the Huayang Needle Crossbow and asked curiously, "Who is your great-grandfather?"
Zhang He cupped his hands and said, "My great-grandfather, Zhang Jianzhi, was once the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and was also a bad guy under the command of the commander-in-chief."
"It's him!" Li Xingyun suddenly realized that this famous Tang Dynasty prime minister had played a major role in the Zhang Wulang rebellion two hundred years ago and the return of power to the Li family during Wu Zetian's reign.
At this time, Zhang He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is one more thing. News came from Cangbinggu yesterday that the commander was assassinated and died. Before his death, he handed over the power of the Bad People to Your Highness to deal with!"
"Huh?" Li Xingyun's mouth twitched slightly when he heard that. Instead of being frightened, he smiled and said, "Someone tried to assassinate Yuan Tiangang? In the Hidden Soldiers Valley? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang He lowered his head and said, "The assassin's name is Li Ying. Like you, His Highness, he also carries the blood of the Li Tang Dynasty. He was raised by the Marshal, so the Marshal did not set up any defense against him..."
"Li Ying? He has a name now." After a pause, Li Xingyun laughed and said, "Hmph, relax. If Yuan Tiangang doesn't guard against him, then the three hundred years of wind and rain will have been in vain. Besides, even if Li Ying is given a Longquan sword and asked to stab him, he can't break Yuan Tiangang's protective aura."
"Oh, Marshal, you're giving up." Li Xingyun crossed his arms and sighed, then leaned against the tree and said to himself: "What are you doing?"
At this time, Zhang He also continued: "The final order was sent out from the Hidden Soldiers Valley, gathering the strength of all the bad people in the world to hunt down Li Ying."
"Hunting down Li Ying?" Li Xingyun waved his hand and said, "If we really want to kill him, he can't get out of the Cangbing Valley. The old man has set such a big bait, it seems that he wants to expose the current situation completely." "Brother, Commander Buliang, is something wrong?" Chi Meng asked Li Xingyun with some concern.
Li Xingyun smiled and said, "Yes, the Bad Leader is dead, and now I am the new Bad Leader. Let's go back to Chang'an. I was thinking of resting in Shanzhou City for a night, but now it seems that I can't rest."
Chi Meng had a headache. She looked at Li Xingyun and then at Zhang He, and then asked Zhang He, "Is the bad commander really dead?"
Zhang He nodded and said, "This is the news from Cangbing Valley."
Chi Meng glanced at Li Xingyun again. What did the little brother mean by that? Why was he so confused? Chi Meng couldn't help stamping his feet and said, "Oh, it gives me a headache just thinking about it!"
"Three years! Pay for my meals for three years!" Sister followed Li Xingyun and kept talking, fearing that Li Xingyun would regret it. Li Xingyun said calmly, "I'm a little curious, who is Ying Gou or Sister now?"
The elder sister who was mumbling something in her mouth was shocked, and then she looked at Li Xingyun and cursed: "What Ying Gou, elder sister is elder sister."
"Hmm, maybe." Li Xingyun climbed onto the horse and smiled faintly, "It's getting more and more interesting."
……
One day ago, in the Hidden Soldiers Valley.
"Marshal, you are looking for me."
A figure stood in front of the dark room in the Hidden Weapon Valley. Yuan Tiangang, who was sitting cross-legged on the altar, did not answer the man immediately. Instead, he kept practicing Qigong as if suppressing something. "I divined yesterday that Your Highness seems to be in trouble. It's time for you to play a role."
Yuan Tiangang was still breathing cold air as he spoke. The figure took off his hood, revealing a face that looked very similar to Li Xingyun. "What does the Marshal need me to do?"
"To die in His Highness' place." Yuan Tiangang said calmly, "This is also your mission."
Fake Li clenched his fist lightly, but his face remained calm. He said calmly, "Yes, Marshal, when will I set out?"
Yuan Tiangang put away his power, threw out two copper coins, looked at the hexagram and frowned, "Why is the hexagram not showing? Is there another change?"
Fake Li's face changed, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but at this moment, Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "No matter what happens, you must die for His Highness, otherwise, what is the meaning of your existence?"
A trace of anger flashed in the fake Li's eyes. He suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuan Tiangang, saying: "Please give me a name, Marshal, so that I can die without regrets."
"Name? A dead man doesn't deserve a name!" Yuan Tiangang sneered, but Li Ying suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Tiangang and said, "Marshal!"
"Hmm? You still want to fight me? Even if I use most of my strength to suppress the cold poison, you are still no match for me!"
Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly and suddenly appeared in front of the fake Li!
