Sima Tu's warning forced Li Yin to prepare for the worst, because the struggle for royal power was too cruel, even Li Shimin could not believe it, and this was also the worst case, Li Shimin lost trust in Li Yin, or was forced to It is not what Li Yin wants to do to him because of the situation.
Coming out of the side hall, Li Yin asked Changle to take his younger brothers and sisters back. Changle wanted to chat with Cui Yingying in the guest house for a while, but seeing Li Yin pulling his face and pursing his mouth, he still brought his son, Li Zhi and the other princesses The prince left.
Cui Yingying noticed something unusual on Li Yin's face. Li Yin was very happy at first, but after only leaving for a while, his appearance changed, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes, as if he was about to fight an enemy.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Cui Yingying asked cautiously.
Li Yin didn't plan to tell her what Sima Tu said, now everything is not clear, he said: "Didn't you say that you want to go back to Cui's residence for a few days? Let's leave now!"
"Your Highness, what happened?" Li Yin's words made Cui Yingying feel that something was wrong, she stood in front of Li Yin and stared into Li Yin's eyes and asked.
"Don't ask, if you are told to go back, go back, Rong Da, send someone to send the princess back to the palace." Normally he let Cui Yingying back, but at this time his words cannot be violated.
Rong Da replied yes, and asked four maidservants to help Cui Yingying into the carriage. Cui Yingying had never seen Li Yin so serious before, she swallowed her words just as she was about to say something, and got into the carriage obediently.
At the same time, Li Ke, who had just returned to Wu Wangfu, was invited back to the hotel by Wu Wei before his **** was warmed up.
"Is there such a thing?" Li Ke's face turned cold after hearing Li Yin's words, "I'll send someone to investigate in the Sixteenth Guards now."
Li Ke is now the only person Li Yin can trust, a compatriot, at least he won't be the first person who is against him.
Li Yin nodded silently. There are always negligence in the dark guards, but Li Ke, a local snake, can provide him with some key information. In addition to deploying forces in Chang'an, he also sent pigeons to Zhu You in Yizhou Instead, let him pass the message to let the assembled army stand by at any time. In order to deal with the worst situation, at that time, it is impossible to say that the fish will die and the net will be broken.
After asking the personal guards to inquire about the news, Li Ke frowned and said, "You don't have to worry too much, Liu Lang. It's just that there are a few spies, which doesn't explain anything?"
"If you're not afraid of what happens, you're afraid of 10,000. Did the third brother forget the change of Xuanwu Gate?" Li Yin said lightly.
This is a word that no one wants to mention, especially in front of Li Shimin. But this word has never gone away, because it symbolizes the cruel fact that the prince is fighting for the heir, Li Ke's expression changed slightly, "It's just that the father is an upright man, and everything is under his control. Who has the courage?"
"Didn't Gaozu be in his prime back then?" Li Yin asked rhetorically.
Sighed. Li Ke looked serious: "Since they dare to harm you, they will definitely not let me go. We are brothers, and the third brother also has 500 elite soldiers selected from the army. At worst, the third brother will fight out of Chang'an City with you. .”
Li Ke's words warmed Li Yin's heart. He really was a brother in battle, a father and son in battle. "No need, third brother, let's talk about it when the situation is clear, otherwise it won't be worth exposing your strength."
The two of them were talking when Rong Da came in. He was in charge of contacting the hidden guards, and just got new news, "Your Highness, the spies came to report that the eyeliner who was investigating around the palace entered the King Qi Mansion."
"Qi Wang Mansion?" Both Li Yin and Li Ke were a little surprised, and at the same time relaxed a lot, at least not the worst situation.
"Send more people to stare at the King Qi Manor to see what they want to do?" Li Yin said to Rong Da, and Rong Da left quickly in response.
Li Yin stood up at this moment, "Why did Li You send someone to watch me? Could it be because I killed the person who stole the secrets of the chamber of commerce, and this time I am waiting for an opportunity to retaliate."
"If that's the case, don't worry about it, it's just that he can make big waves." Li Yin really looked down on Li You, a low-level villain.
After all, Li Ke has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows more about Li You's family background than Li Min, "Although you say this, you can't relax. It is said that Li You has recruited many brave and ruthless people in Qizhou. Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao are the best at riding and shooting, so they should not be underestimated."
"Hmph, even if the two are good at riding and shooting, can he shoot through the plate armor of the cavalry I brought?" The thousand cavalry brought by Li Yin are naturally the best of the best in the army. Carbon fiber plate armor, in addition to the horizontal knife, is also equipped with a stainless steel crossbow, which can not be called a murderous force.
Li Ke was speechless when he heard the words, he really forgot the terrifying equipment of Li Yin's sergeants, he said: "It's just that you mobilize the troops in Chang'an City, which will definitely cause an uproar, and when the father pursues it, you will inevitably be reprimanded.
"It depends on what Li You will do." Li Yin narrowed his eyes. This is a dispute between two princes entrusted to other places, and he must not lose face in Yizhou.
Li Ke thought that Li Yin was committing evil again, so he shook his head helplessly.
After waiting in the hotel for a while, Li Ke's personal guards returned and brought news that reassured the two of them. Pass it on.
Now that it was clear that it was Li You, Li Yin and Li Ke discussed it, and decided to sit on the sidelines and wait for a rabbit to see what kind of tricks Li You was going to play. However, Li Yin still let Li Ke go back. It was to let him monitor the movement in other places. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of guarding against thieves, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Li Yin simply let Li You's self-conceited plan succeed.
As night fell, everything in the Shu King's Residence was as usual, but Li Yin did not go back to the bedroom to rest as usual, but moved to a side hall.
In the hotel, Li Yan deliberately let Wu Wei relax his patrols, creating an illusion of negligence due to the Chinese New Year, but in fact all the guards had already ambushed in every room of the hotel, waiting for Li You to take the bait.
As night fell, a group of thirty people wearing night clothes left the palace of the king of Qi, dodged Wuhou who was patrolling at night, and went to the palace of the king of Shu. The two leading the team were Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao. Let them take the dead men to show Li Yin some color tonight. For him, Li You may be afraid of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but he never put Li Ke and Li Yin brothers in his eyes, because Li Chengqian and Li Tai Li Tai comes from the lineage of the eldest grandson, and has the support of a huge family. And he, Li You, also has his own family influence. Among the many princes, only Li Yin and Li Ke belong to people without family roots.
This is also the reason why he looks down on Li Ke and Li You. No matter how capable they are, they don't have the absolute support of the family, but Li You obviously misjudged the situation. Because of the presence of this younger brother, Ke has straightened his back a lot.
"Leave later, don't get entangled!" Thirty people arrived outside the Shu King's residence, Zan Junmo said to his subordinates, Li You didn't have the guts to really kill Li Yin at the time of the Chinese New Year, he just let someone give him a hand The torch burned down the hotel, making Li Yin ashamed and humiliated during the Chinese New Year.
Liang Mengbiao nodded, and each of them led fifteen people to climb up the wall of the hotel to peek inside, only to see that the huge hotel was completely dark, with only a few guards patrolling back and forth with lanterns.
It was already midnight at this time, and he chose this point to come here, because this is the time when people are the most sleepy, and the defense is also the most lax, but he did not expect the defense of the hotel to be so lax.
Zan Junmo on the other side also encountered the same situation, but he just thought about it for a while and passed it without thinking about it. He never thought that Li Yin had already noticed something unusual, and even the number of guards in King Qi's residence was overwhelmed by Li Yin. Learned.
The two of them did not climb over the wall and enter the palace immediately, but observed the patrolling guards for a while. After figuring out the basic inspection rules, Liang Mengbiao took the lead to sneak into the palace with people, while Zan Junmo sneaked in with another wave of dead soldiers at the same time. palace.
Everything went so smoothly, Liang Mengbiao secretly rejoiced that this credit came too easily, but he didn't know that his actions had fallen into the eyes of the guards of the Shu Palace, who were holding up crossbows one by one and waiting Follow the order.
Entering the hotel, Liang Mengbiao began to assign tasks with gestures, asking everyone to be responsible for different buildings, and preparing a torch to burn the hotel to clean.
After receiving the assigned task, all fourteen people dispersed and acted independently, but two of them did not follow the order after receiving Liang Mengbiao's order. touch.
Liang Mengbiao walked to a room, took out a fire pocket, and blew on it violently, and the fire pocket quickly ignited. He smiled triumphantly, and set the fire pocket on the window, and the paper-pasted window burned quickly.
At the same time, other places were lit up with flames one after another. Liang Mengbiao waved his hand at this time and gave a signal to evacuate, but just as he turned around, he felt a strong wind passing by his ears, and then his ears were burning instantly. Before he could react, the second gust of wind hit his shoulder, and he was pushed by the force of the crossbow and staggered back a few steps. Only then did he realize that it was a crossbow.
In an instant, Liang Mengbiao's back was drenched in cold sweat, and they fell into a trap.
