Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

The long night filled the air, and in the pitch-black night, several embarrassed figures came out of the woods, breathing heavily.

"Your Majesty, the two traitors Wu Xizhi and Meng Qingbang are probably hiding in Liaocheng. It is not safe for us to go back at this time, so we should go to the old prince." Xiong Zhan said worriedly.

"Hmph, so what if I'm hiding in Liaocheng? I am the Li Tang royal family. Do they still dare to harm me?"

"Let's go back!" Before Xiong Zhan could speak, Li Chong strode towards the city gate.

He made up his mind to skin these two losers alive when he saw them.

Seeing that the prince was determined to have his own way, Xiong Zhan sighed, ordered several personal guards to be more vigilant, and then he drew his sword and followed.

The group came to the city gate and saw Wu and Meng's men as expected.

Li Chong kicked him without saying a word, and said angrily: "I ask you, where are Wu Xizhi and Meng Qingbang?"

The guard quickly got up and lowered his head and said, "Back to your lord, the two generals Wu and Meng are enjoying themselves in the brothel."

Li Chong sneered: "Okay, you just escaped from the battle and went to a brothel to have fun. You really don't take military law seriously!"

"It seems that I, the king, need to reorganize himself!" After saying this, the killing intent flashed out of his eyes, and he walked into the city gate with the remaining bodyguards.

However, just as they passed through the city gate, the heavy door suddenly slammed shut.

Then hundreds of sergeants armed with long guns rushed out from both sides.

Seeing this scene, Li Chong's eyes narrowed, and he immediately raised his knife and shouted.

"No, we've fallen into a trap, let's go!"

Pfft!

Pfft!

After several screams, Xiong Zhan and several personal guards fell in a pool of blood, leaving Li Chong standing there alone with a pale face.

a long time.

The sergeants separated, and Wu Xizhi came out with a smile on his face.

"My lord, please come and be fine."

"Wu Xizhi, if you dare to plan an ambush for me, aren't you afraid of killing the entire clan?" Li Chong said, staring at his former subordinates.

Wu Xizhi laughed indifferently: "In the past, the generals would naturally not dare to do so, but now..."

"Now you are a wanted criminal by the court, and the number one target to be eradicated by Empress Dowager Wu." If we catch you, we will only perform meritorious service, so why should we offend the royal family? "Meng Qingbang came out and said with a smile.

Looking at the two men who were so proud of themselves, Li Chong looked up to the sky and laughed three times, his voice full of desolation.

He never expected that his noble grandson Taizong, Tianhuang nobleman, would be lost in the hands of two disciples of Xiao!

How sad and deplorable this is!

At this thought, he suddenly raised his sword and wiped it towards his neck.

He was a hero in life, but a hero in death. He still misses Xiang Yu and refuses to cross the Yangtze River!

Why should he, Li Chong, be afraid of life and death!

Wu Xizhi was shocked when he saw this, and quickly ordered his subordinates to stop him. He still relied on Li Chong to pay the certificate of surrender to the court, so how could he let him die.

Fortunately, a few sergeants who were close by had quick eyesight and quick hands. When Li Chong raised his sword, he kicked him on the crook of his leg, and then everyone worked together to press him up.

After knocking Li Chong unconscious, Meng Qingbang patted the dust with a happy face: "Old Wu, we have made a great contribution this time, why don't we send him directly to Luoyang, so as not to let Fan Xin take advantage."

Wu Xizhi glanced at him and said uncharacteristically.

"No, we can only give it to Fan Xin."

"Why?"

"You don't want to think about who Li Chong is. He can affect his whole body at a moment's notice. Those Li and Tang ministers are bound to silence him."

"And the Wu Party wants Li Chong to reach Luoyang alive and use him to get rid of those Li and Tang ministers."

"Do you think little pawns like us with no backers can get involved?"

Meng Qingbang shivered all over and said angrily: "If we get involved, we might not even have any bones left."

"So we can only give this hot credit to Fan Xin. As for whether Jian is in the emperor's heart, or whether he is dismissed from office and imprisoned, it all depends on his own ability."

Speaking of which, Wu Xizhi glanced at the sky and said, "Okay, hurry up and send Li Chong to Fan Xin."

"Wu has a hunch that with Fan Xin standing out, a huge earthquake will occur in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty."

"I don't know if it's good or bad..."

When the sun shone into the room through the window paper, Fan Xin slowly opened his eyes, stretched out, and felt indescribably comfortable.

At this time, Liu Zi's voice sounded outside the door: "Master, let me tell you some good news. Meng Sima caught Li Chong last night and is currently being held in the county jail. He said he would leave it to you to deal with."

"Leave it to me?" Fan Xin was stunned for a moment and frowned deeply.

The progress of things seems to be different from historical records.

According to the original trajectory, Li Chong would be killed by Wu and Meng together after escaping back to Liaocheng, thus ending the war.

Unexpectedly, instead of killing Li Chong, these two men sent him to the county government.

But he happened to have something to ask Li Chong, so it saved him the trouble.

After getting dressed, Fan Xin carried the food box to the county jail. Since most of the jailers died on the battlefield, there were only three people guarding the jail at this time.

Seeing him coming, Zhou Dianyuan quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"I have seen the Ming Dynasty in my humble position, why are you here?"

"Let me see King Langya, how is he doing?" Fan Xin glanced at Li Chong, who was sitting facing the wall with disheveled hair.

Zhou Dianyu sighed: "It's still like that. I haven't said anything since last night and haven't drank any water."

"Open the cell door, I will go in and talk to him."

"This..." Zhou Dianyou hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. His hands and feet are shackled and he can't hurt me."

"Then be careful." Zhou Dianyou warned, turned around and walked to the cell door, took out the key and opened the lock.

"Hey, Li Chong, my Mingfu is here to see you!"

Li Chong seemed not to hear, and continued to face the wall without moving.

"Mingfu, look..." Zhou Dianjiu had a helpless expression on his face.

Instructing him to go out first, Fan Xin put the food on the table one by one and said calmly.

"In the past, you gave me a century-old ginseng tree. Today, I paid for you with a table of food and wine from Fan Lou."

"Although it is not as valuable as ginseng, it is my salary for two months. Let's sit down and have a drink?"

Li Chong slowly turned around, glanced around the food, and said in a hoarse voice.

"In the past, I had three thousand diners and more than ten thousand relatives and friends. I didn't expect that when I was in trouble, only your enemy came to deliver food. It's extremely ridiculous."

"What, are you here to interrogate me?" Li Chong's eyes were full of ridicule when he said this.

Fan Xin shook his head: "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I have no right to interrogate royal family members."

"I came here this time to ask the prince to take back the fertile land occupied by the prince's palace."

Li Chong laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, and pointed at Fan Xin.

"Fan Xin, Fan Xin, what good can I say about you? You and I are mortal enemies. Why should I give you back the ten thousand acres of fertile land I have pocketed?"

Seeing Li Chong in this state and still so arrogant, Fan Xin also got angry, kicked the table over and shouted loudly.

"Why? Just because you spend a penny to occupy thousands of acres of fertile land in this county!"

"Just because people come to you to ask for an explanation, you put them in a dog cage and bite them alive!"

"You killed the old man and didn't tell me, but you tortured his daughter to death!"

"Li Chong, I just want to ask you, aren't you afraid of retribution for walking at night?"

Fan Xin was really angry. He couldn't imagine how a person who looked down upon human life and treated people like pigs and dogs could say these words.

Looking at the angry Fan Xin, a flash of disdain flashed at the corner of Li Chong's mouth.

"So what, I, a member of the royal family, kills a few people and plays with a few women. It doesn't matter."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why my hunting dog is fat and strong is because it eats human flesh!"

"How about it, are you envious?"

"I envy your mother!"

boom!

After a while, Fan Xin walked out of the prison without replying before leaving.

"After I get out, I will report the victory to the court. You should know what will happen if you fall into the hands of the intruders."

"You still have a chance to atone for your sins before they arrive, otherwise your family members will be waiting to be executed!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and strode away, leaving an embarrassed Li Chong lying on the ground alone.

After walking out of the prison, Fan Xin let out a breath and looked at the Asahi Road in the distance.

"Report your victory to the court!"
