Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 703 Jingzhou Assassination

This incident will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, but Li Shen doesn't know whether his shadow will be left in the annals of history.

Perhaps it will be recorded in later generations that when Taizong came to Lingzhou, the leaders of various tribes in Chile sent envoys to Lingzhou to pay homage to Taizong. There were thousands of people in total.

Taizong himself wrote a poem to record the incident, saying: "Avenge the humiliation and reward hundreds of kings; remove the evil and repay the eternity." The ministers requested that a stone tablet be carved in Lingzhou to record the event, and Taizong complied.

The person accompanying him was Ji Wangshen, the tenth son of Emperor Taizong.

Li Shen himself is satisfied with this, which is much better than putting him among the ministers.

He was going back much faster than when he came. It was already winter, but it hadn't snowed yet. Li Shimin wanted to get back to Chang'an before it snowed.

Otherwise, it is easy to delay the trip after snowfall.

Six days later, Li Shimin's team arrived in Jingzhou, and three days later, they crossed Longshan and arrived at Xiwating.

Here Li Shimin ordered to rest and recuperate. During the march, the sergeants were a little tired.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhou is outside seeking an audience."

"Let him in."

In Li Shimin's tent, Li Shimin had just come in to rest when Wang De came in to report.

"I, Lu Yun, the governor of Jingzhou, are here to see your majesty."

"Well, excuse me, I'm passing by here and taking a look at the grazing conditions here.

You hurry up and make arrangements. I will go watch them tomorrow, especially the horses. "Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right now." The governor of Jingzhou saluted and then left.

The next day, the governor of Jingzhou led Li Shimin to the pastoral area.

This place is mainly a place for herding horses and also a place for military horses.

Although it is winter now, fodder has been prepared in advance.

Li Shen rode his little white dragon and followed Li Shimin to the ranch. There are dead grass all around and horses in the distance.

"Old Shi, come with me later to see if you like. How about I give it to you?" Looking at the large number of horses in the distance, Li Shimin was also very happy.

Li Shen urged his horse to come to Li Shimin's side, took out his binoculars and looked around, then shook his head.

"Aye, they can't compare with my little white dragon."

Li Shimin glared at Li Shen. This son couldn't speak at all, so he ignored Li Shen and got off his horse.

Li Shen also quickly dismounted and followed.

"There are assassins~~protecting His Majesty."

Suddenly there was a loud roar from a guard on the left, and then there was the sound of clanging weapons clashing.

"There are assassins~~protecting His Majesty."

Suddenly there was a shout from the right.

"Your Majesty, a dozen assassins suddenly appeared from the left and have been killed." At this time, Captain Habayashi, who was responsible for the defense on the left, ran over.

"More than a dozen people?" Li Shimin frowned, and even Li Shen was surprised. Just a dozen people wanted to assassinate the emperor?

"Your Majesty, the assassination on the right has been carried out," the Yu Linwei on the right also came over to report.

"how many people?"

"Your Majesty, there are more than twenty people."

"Where is it? Let me go and have a look." Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to return to the army immediately. There has been an assassination attempt here, and I am afraid that the bandits may be ambushing you." Li Daozong stepped forward to stop him.

"It's okay, it's just a small night." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he walked to the right, and everyone immediately followed and surrounded Li Shimin.

Soon I saw many bodies lying on the ground.

"How many people were injured?" Li Shimin asked with a frown, because there were not only the corpses of assassins on the ground, but also many Yulin Guards.

"Back to Your Majesty, more than twenty people were killed and more than a dozen were injured."

"So many casualties?" Li Daozong said in surprise.

There were only about twenty people, and hundreds of Yulin Guards besieged them, and they lost so many people.

"Your Majesty, they are highly skilled in martial arts, well-trained, and they take them by surprise. Our Yulin Guards are no match for them." The general of the Yulin Guards bowed his head.

"How did they get here?" This is what Li Shimin is most concerned about.

This place is only thirty feet away from where he was just now, so it should not be impossible to find it.

When the emperor travels, he always has guards who clear obstacles in advance.

"Your Majesty, they are all hiding underground, and the withered grass above is intact, so we didn't find them."

"Your Majesty, please return to the military camp. They are obviously well prepared. I feel..."

"Whoosh~~~ding!"

Before Li Daozong finished speaking, he heard the sound of arrow feathers, and then a clang.

Only then did everyone become alert. The enemy still had back-ups. They looked towards the sound and saw Tieniu, the personal guard commander of King Ji Li Shen, holding a shield high to block Li Shimin's back.

There is also an arrow feather on the ground.

"Protect Your Majesty." Li An shouted, and the Yulin Guards instantly surrounded Li Shimin.

"My lord, this arrow has no power. It should have been shot from a long distance, fifty feet away." At this time, Tieniu said to Li Shen.

"Fifty feet away, pursue immediately." Li Shimin's face did not change at all, and he immediately ordered to the generals of the Yulin Guard.

Li Shimin gave an order, and hundreds of Yu Lin Guard cavalry rushed out immediately.

"Protect His Majesty back to the military camp." Li Daozong could no longer care about Li Shimin's wishes and immediately ordered around.

Li An immediately repeated it after hearing it. After all, there were Li Shimin's personal guards all around, and Li Daozong couldn't speak easily.

"Wait a minute, let's see who they are." Li Shimin's face was gloomy. Someone from Baiqisi stepped forward and pulled off their masks. They all had faces from the Central Plains.

They started rummaging through these people again, but Li Shen didn't look carefully after he arrived. Seeing too many dead people would give him nightmares.

But just now he started to frown after seeing the crossbow arrow on the ground. He felt that this crossbow arrow was so familiar.

So when Bai Qisi was rummaging through the corpse, Li Shen took a look, and at this glance, Li Shen's pupils shrank.

He saw the knife next to the body. It was a Tang Dao, a very familiar Tang Dao.

Baiqisi's people groped around among the many assassins, and finally found a token from one assassin and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Shimin took a look and saw that his face didn't change. He put the token into his sleeve and whispered a few words into Li An's ear.

Li An nodded when he heard this, winked at Wang De and left.

Wang De understood and came to Li Shimin. Baiqisi surrounded Li Shimin and separated everyone.

The outer circle is the Yulin Guards, and Li Shimin is protected and retreats to the military camp.

It is not suitable to ride a horse at this time, so walking is the only option.

Li Shen was also protected by Tieniu and followed the large troops back to the military camp.

However, Li Shen had been worried and in a daze all the way. He didn't know what the brand in Li Shimin's hand was.

But thinking back to the arrow fletching I just saw, it was not the fletching of a bow, it was a crossbow arrow.

Combined with the knife on the ground, he could guess what brand it was.

At this time, Li Shen felt a little uneasy and a little scared.
