[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

"My servant is Hegan Chengji." The man lay on the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

As soon as Li Shimin saw him, he became angry in vain. At this time, he relied on his daily self-cultivation, and barely showed his emotions and anger, but the strong evil spirit in his tone could not be suppressed.

Assassins like He Gan Chengji are very sensitive to external dangers, not to mention Li Shimin's hostility is so obvious, he is worried...

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Hegan Chengji. This man was tall, with dark skin and slightly curly hair, obviously of foreign blood.

"Are you from the East Palace?" Li Shimin's voice didn't fluctuate, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Yes……"

In his memory, Donggong had never seen this man before.

It seems that there are indeed many places in the East Palace that he cannot monitor, and there are many people or things that he does not know about...

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

"Is it the common man Li You who recommended you to the crown prince?"

"Yes." Hegan Chengji replied with one sentence, for fear of causing Li Shimin's displeasure.

But Li Shimin's face became even more ugly after hearing his words.

Li Shimin walked around Hegan Chengji twice, then stopped in front of him, and asked, "Why did the common man Li You recommend you to the East Palace?"

Hegan Chengji was taken aback when he heard the words, he looked up at Li Shimin, then immediately lowered his head, and said, "King Qi... no, it's the common man Li You who heard that the crown prince likes to recruit those skilled fighters who are good at assassination, so he recommended this servant to him. Prince..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin started pacing restlessly again.

"Then... what does the prince want you to do?" What does Dalang want these people who are good at assassination? !Didn't he already promise not to assassinate the Donggong teachers?

Could it be that what Yin Hongzhi said is actually true...

That damned rebellious son has never done anything to please him, so he deserves to die!

"The crown prince ordered his servants to assassinate the King of Wei." As soon as Hegan Chengji finished speaking, he heard a thunderclap in the sky.

Li Shimin suddenly stopped in his tracks. Under the light of the lightning, his face showed no expression and was completely numb.

========================= ==================================================================== ===

The Lizheng Hall was also brightly lit during the rainstorm.

The crown prince, Cheng Qian, was dressed in ordinary clothes, and was sitting in the hall, with a stern expression on his face, which made one dare not look directly at him.

In the hall stood more than a dozen heavily armed and rugged men, all of whom were confidant generals of the Eastern Palace Department.

At this moment, the dozen or so men all looked puzzled, and one of the men with a Chinese face stepped forward and said, "Prince, didn't you say that there was an incident at midnight tonight? Why did you suddenly recruit the young general to come to the East Palace?"

"Could it be that the plan has changed?" Another bearded man also said, "But Du Lang clearly told me to wait..."

"Shut up!" Cheng Qian's face became more and more cold, he suddenly got up from the couch, and said sharply: "Gu never asked you to do anything! Immediately stop all your actions!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, they were shocked.

If the various matters arranged by Du He were not the true intention of the prince, then wouldn't they have been cheated miserably...

"However, Du Lang has now contacted the King of Han and Chen Guogong, and is going to lead his troops to the Taiji Palace tonight..." The face of the man with a national character turned pale.

"You bastard! How dare he do such a thing behind Gu's back!" Cheng Qian's face was so cold that a layer of frost could be scraped off, saying that every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, "Gu will definitely do this this time." I will not tolerate him again!"

Everyone involuntarily fought a cold war.

"Then, then... what should I do now, Prince?" The man with a Chinese face was still smart, and hurriedly asked the key question.

If it is late, they will really be forced to board the rebel ship!

Cheng Qian looked at the flickering candle, sneered and said: "What should you do if you ask Gu now?! Who do you ask?!"

If he hadn't sensed that things were different, and immediately summoned all the generals under his command, he might still be in the dark now!

At that time, when he opened his eyes early the next morning, he would either be forced to admit to killing his father, or be detained in the Forbidden Palace and ordered to commit suicide, right? !

How dare that bastard...

when he is dead? !

snort!

Although the tall men in the field are generals, they are not fools. The current situation is obviously that Du He is going to do something behind the crown prince's back, and the crown prince has no idea at all!

It's fine if this matter is done, but if it fails, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously beyond debate!

And they have completely become pawns in other people's hands, entrapping the prince and pushing hands!

Everyone lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, silent like a chilling cicada.

"Go back immediately, restrain your soldiers, and don't act rashly no matter who orders you tonight!" Chengqian returned to his upper position and sat down on the soft couch, knocked on the little table in front of him, and said coldly: "Even if someone is holding a solitary arrow, You are not allowed to obey orders, have you heard clearly?"

"Yes!" Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and then bowed to accept the order.

Chengqian's eyes swept over everyone below gloomyly, making the gang of five big and three thick men tremble uncontrollably.

"If anyone gets up, he shouldn't be thinking, don't blame Gu for being ruthless!"

"I respectfully follow orders." Now that they had received the crown prince's strict order, a group of generals dared not delay, and hurriedly exited the Lizheng Hall, ignoring the lightning, thunder, and violent storms outside, and rushed back quickly to restrain their subordinates to prevent being scammed.

The main hall quickly returned to the emptiness and silence that should have existed at this time of the year.

Cheng Qian sat on it quietly, without moving for a long time, as if he had settled down.

The man on duty at night stepped forward gently, wanting to change the table for the teacup, but he was surprised by the hostility emanating from His Royal Highness, but the palace man slipped his hand and accidentally dropped the teacup...

The sound of the teacup falling on the couch was actually not loud, nothing compared to the continuous rumble of thunder outside the hall, but Cheng Qian seemed to be awakened suddenly from a bad dream, staring at the teacup that caused trouble, his eyes were violent and horrified people……

"Your Majesty, forgive me..." The palace servant was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and crawled on the ground, shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind.

The servants of the Eastern Palace are very familiar with this scene—in the few months since Xin Xin died, whenever His Royal Highness wanted to kill the servant to vent his anger, he would show such a look...

Nima, it's hard to get back by the princess, won't His Royal Highness run away again?

Seeing that something was wrong, Chengqian's personal servant hurriedly gave a wink to the next servant, and that servant quietly exited the main hall and ran towards Cheng'en Hall.

And that unfortunate palace man had already died of his own life, lying there unable to even utter a word of begging for mercy, secretly thinking about his last words.

And Cheng Qian kept staring at the teacup, not even giving a single glance to the palace man lying on his stomach...

After a while, Cheng Qian's expression gradually became clear, and he coldly repelled the palace man.

"Get off!"

Picking up a small life, the palace man hurriedly packed the tea set, scrambling and exiting the hall.

The other night watchmen followed suit and exited the hall, and closed the door, leaving only His Highness the Crown Prince alone.

Cheng Qian's face was as cold as ice, but his chest was already full of anger, which made him almost fall into the state of tyranny in those years.

He really wants to pump people!

However, he promised Father that he would change his ways and stop randomly picking people...

Thinking of Li Shimin, Cheng Qian's chaotic mind began to wake up slowly. With a straight face and hands behind his back, he paced up and down the dormitory, thinking that Du He might come up with a plan.

If he guessed correctly, Du He took over the Eastern Palace Army in his name while he was sick, and made those generals think that Du He's plan was what he meant...

The King of Han and Chen Guogong were recruited by Du He to help—this bastard still didn't take his word for it, and provoked those two restless things with his own will!

Then the plan, presumably, is to bring the East Palace soldiers and horses as the main force, unite with the other two surprise soldiers, take advantage of the situation, rush into the West Palace by surprise, and kill or capture the saint before the forbidden army encircles...

Next, you can follow the example of the "Xuanwu Gate Change" and take advantage of the situation to kill King Wei after controlling the palace—perhaps you can also add King Jin to force the sage to abdicate to the East Palace...

At that time, he, the crown prince, just need to pave the way along them and ascend the throne step by step!

Really well planned, very good!

But who would have thought that the beneficiaries of this plan would not want to go this way at all!

Cheng Qian sneered and kicked over a screen.

That damn bastard!

How could he have the guts to be Li Chengqian's master? !

He wanted to see how Du He would carry out his plan without the support of the Eastern Palace's direct lineage? !

Whether it's the King of Han or Chen Guogong, they are all old foxes who have grown up. With just a word from Du He, they can really make great efforts to help the East Palace to take over the throne?

Do not make jokes!

As long as he can prevent the Donggong faction from getting involved, the King of Han and Chen Guogong will hesitate, and Du He's plan will most likely fail...

Unless those two old foxes have other plans at all, they will go to the end without the participation of Donggong soldiers and horses!

In this way, the situation of Donggong will only be beyond redemption!

But now the big trouble was that he didn't know the exact time that Du He had agreed with Li Yuanjing and Hou Junji, and he couldn't predict the actions of those two at all.

It is a fluke to be able to know the gathering time of the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Palace in advance!

Zishi, Zishi...

Du He actually arranged the East Palace soldiers and horses to start at the right time...

Did that bastard see that he must not be aware of the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the East Palace at this time?

No, he still wants to smoke someone!

The waiters outside the waiting hall suddenly heard a series of loud noises of "cracking" and "jingling and clanging" coming from the room.The waiters headed by Waiter Weinet all tightened their necks and pressed against the wall, not daring to take a breath.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the thunder and lightning fell one after another. The earth-shattering loud noise shook everyone's heart with panic...

Something big is about to happen in the East Palace, what will happen to their fate?

No one knows, and no one dares to think deeply...

After His Royal Highness kicked over the small table and another screen on the couch, and knocked down the two palace lantern frames, the anger in his heart finally subsided a lot.

He already had a plan in mind.

"Come here! Take the solitary armor!
