Chapter 793 City Gate Killing Game

On the fourth day of the first month of the second year of Yonglong, at the time of heavy snow, the official road was particularly desolate in the past. Not to mention the trace of people, there was no wild dog. Some were just thick white snow, showing the vastness of heaven and earth. If it fell in the eyes of literati, there would be no choice but to write a few poems. Mingzhi, you have to have a few bottles of wine to have a good time. Of course, these are all rich and leisurely coquettish people who can afford to play. For Wufu, such as Li Chong, who is in a hurry, the heavy snow all over the sky is not only full of the mood, but also annoying.

Li Chong left Luoyang on the twenty-sixth day of the Chinese New Year. He led nearly 2,000 horses to escort three carriages and cautiously rushed to Tangzhou all the way. Along the way, he did not stay in the post station, but only lived in the camp where his own department had sett. He traveled more than a hundred miles a day. Every time he went to the state and county, he passed by. He did not stay or socialize with local officials. Every time he went to a dangerous place, If you have to go out, you have to ensure safety. You are willing to wave your army and pass. Even if there is no unexpected situation on this journey, you will definitely refuse to slack off. At this time, it is the road to cross the mountains and mountains. Li Chong sent more than a hundred veteran riders to investigate the mountains 20 miles ahead, but he led his troops to stop in the snow. In front of the mountain.

The snow is heavy, the wind is also strong, and the weather is freezing. It's enough when you are on your way. You can exercise more or less to keep warm, but when you stop, you will suffer a lot. Even if all the cavalry are selected strong men, they are still frozen as white as paper by the wind and snow. Even Li Chong, the main general, is no exception. If It's not a heavy responsibility. I'm afraid he has cursed his mother a long time ago.

"Report, little prince, the mountains 20 miles ahead have been explored, and there is no ambush. Crossing this mountain is the realm of Tangzhou."

Just as Li Chong was waiting impatiently, a sentinel finally rushed out of the mountain bend and stepped on the snow like a spark. A rolled saddle got off the horse and reported loudly.

"Wow..., the whole army obeys the order and accelerates to cross this mountain!"

Compared with the cold, Li Chong was obviously more worried about safety. It had been found out along the way. He didn't want to stay here more. After growing out of breath, he gave a loud order. As soon as the order was issued, the team started at high speed and escorted three identical carriages and rushed to the mountain road. Splashing snowflakes are flying all over the sky...

"Lord Pei, look at that flag. Shouldn't the people of the Yue Palace arrive?"

Outside the city of Biyang (now Tanghe County), Pei Xuancheng, the outgoing Tangzhou assassin, led a large group of Tangzhou members quietly waiting outside the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the Yuewangfu and his party in the snow. This was nearly two hours. From noon, until it was dark, he finally saw that the official road was sick in the distance. The galloping brigade of cavalry, the officials were relieved and couldn't help but discuss it one after another. Only Sima Yanxiao was calm and came to Pei Xuancheng's side and whispered a word.

"Hmm..."

Pei Xuancheng comes from a famous family and belongs to the same clan as Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan. However, he can take up the position of Tangzhou's assassinate, but it does not rely on the power of the two brothers. It is all due to his own ability. In this Tangzhou, he has been in office for less than three years. Now he has received a letter from the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs and is about to be transferred to be transferred to Qizhou. Although the position is still an assassin, Qizhou is Shangzhou and a rich place in Guanzhong. It is said that it is a high rise, but Pei Xuancheng is not excited because of this, and even has a lot of resistance in his heart. It is nothing else, just because he has seen the evil heart of the king of Yue to take down Tangzhou, and he is inevitably worried about the direction of the DPRK. However, as a local official, Pei Xuancheng has no respect for the fact of the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court. No matter how worried he is, he can only acquiesce to this fact. Of course, he will not be very welcome the arrival of Li Wen. Even if he knows that Yan Xiao's suggestion is good intentions, his face is still difficult to look tight, just humming from his nostrils. A voice full of dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, can we start?"

Pei Xuancheng comes from a famous family. He can't care much about the arrival of the King of Yue. He is now the person who is about to leave, but Yan Xiao still has to beg for food under the King of Yue. In terms of reason, he can't make a mistake in etiquette. Even if he knows that Pei Xuancheng is extremely unhappy, he can only be strong. He asked for instructions with a smile.

"Hmm."

The predecessor's greeting of the successor was the imperial court system. Even if Pei Xuancheng looked down on the vulgar Li Wen, he could not help but follow the rules of the court. In the face of Yan Xiao's request, he could only wave his hand reluctantly and signaled Yan Xiao to do it by himself.

"Play music!"

After getting Pei Xuancheng's consent, Yan Xiao was obviously relieved and hurriedly turned around. He waved his hand to the drum team who had been waiting for a long time and drank loudly. At the same time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the high gate tower.

"Prepare!"

On the tall gate building, a middle-aged officer in a team costume obviously received a hint from Yan Xiao. After silently nodding his head, he reached out and lifted his helmet, revealing a needless face. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Sun San, a master of Qixiaguan who had assassinated Li Xian, but when he gritted his teeth and looked gloomyly, he turned to the second behind him. More than a dozen sergeants waved their hands and drank in a low voice. At this order, the sergeants moved one after another, carried several large boxes together, and nervously began to prepare for the war.

"The whole army stops!"

With so many people gathered at the gate, it is impossible for Li Chong, who is galloping, not to see it. Although he doesn't want to make extravagant, but this is the rule of the court. Even if he doesn't want to, he can only make the whole army stop at a distance of more than 30 steps away from the welcome crowd, but he did not disothe, but indifferent. He stared at the Tangzhou officials opposite.

"Hmm."

Pei Xuancheng originally looked down on a group of people in the Yuewang Mansion. At this time, although Li Chong and others stopped their horses, they did not mean to say hello at all. He was immediately more dissatisfied with his heart. He assumed that his official title was above Li Chong and others, and he did not want to descend to greet Li Chong and others. The problem was that he was so deadlocked. It's not a way. In desperation, I can only frown impatiently, whisper, and give Yan Xiao a look.

"I dare to ask who is General Li Wen, and the subordinate Tangzhou Sima Yanxiao is waiting for you here."

The official level can crush people to death. This is the practice of officialdom. It is not rare. Since Pei Xuancheng has hinted, even if Yan Xiao is reluctant, he can only smile helplessly, strode forward, bowed respectfully, and greeted politely.

"Li Chong, the general, dare not bother the officials to bother. I occasionally feel cold on the road, and it is not convenient to meet the guests in the snow. Please forgive me, Yan Sima and the public. If you have something to do, why don't you go to the official office to discuss it again?"

Tangzhou is too important for the King of Yue, and there can't be any mistakes. Because of this, although he has reached the ground, Li Chong still does not dare to be careless. He doesn't want to have more contact with Tangzhou officials in this empty place. He took a few steps forward and arched his hand. He answered angrily and unquestionably.

"This..., little prince, please wait a moment, and let the official go to communicate with Pei's history."

As soon as he heard Li Chong's words, Yan Xiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He knew that this move was contrary to the court system, but it was not easy to refuse in person. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask for instructions with a smile.

"Yan Sima, please."

Li Chong doesn't care about the rules at all. As long as he can successfully complete the handover of the seal of the assassin's history, for him, even if he has completed his father's trust, as for whether he will be involved because of this, it is not within the scope of his consideration. It's nothing else, just because the king of Yue's army is about to rise, and everything is the king of Yue. It has the final say. If it doesn't work, there is no place to die, and there is no place for impeachment, and there can be a lot of difference.

"Humph!"

Li and Yan answered in their voices. Pei Xuancheng, who was not far from him, could hear it clearly. Seeing that the people of the Yue Wangfu and others were so arrogant, Pei Xuancheng could not stand this tone. He didn't wait for Yan Xiao to come back to report it at all. After snorted angrily, he brushed his sleeves and led his kiss without looking back. When he returned to the city, a subordinate officer saw the situation. He really didn't follow him, and he didn't follow him. They were all dumbfounded on the spot.

"Eh..."

Yan Xiao just turned his head. Before he could take a step, he saw that Pei Xuancheng had left without saying goodbye. He couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't dare to stop Pei Xuancheng's departure. He could only turn around with a wry smile and arch his hand to Li Chong and said, "General Li, please!"

"Well, that's good!"

Li Chong didn't want to have a lot of money with Tangzhou officials outside the city. He didn't mind Pei Xuancheng's negative anger and left. He smiled and waved his hand and rushed to the gate. His urgency suddenly made many officials who were busy making way embarrassed, and even fell into the snow for some reasons. When he was in a panic, he made all the guards of the Yue Palace laugh out loud.

"Ignite!"

The embarrassment of the officials of Tangzhou was indeed very funny, but Sun San did not laugh, but raised his hand coldly and issued the general order. The soldiers who had already prepared immediately lit fire oil bombs with fire ropes and made the final preparations before the attack.

"Target, carriage, throw!"

Li Chong and his party galloped at a very fast speed, and rushed near the city gate in an instant. Seeing this, Sun San did not dare to neglect it. He roared and issued an order to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Sun San didn't bring many fire and oil bombs this time, and there were only six in total. However, all the people responsible for throwing were masters in the world. Both the strength and accuracy were scary. Although the three carriages in Li Chong's array were not close to each other, they still couldn't escape being hit by the fire oil bombs. In just a moment, the three carriages were exhausted. They all burned into a bear torch, and none of the people in the car were spared. They were all on fire, and the whole team was in a mess in an instant...
