Chapter 1220 Going to the meeting alone
How could Li Junxian not know that if Fang Jun went up alone, he would be shot to death by Changsun Chong if he didn't meet him?
But as a minister, you should fulfill your duties loyally! As long as there is a glimmer of hope to rescue Princess Changle, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you must walk on flat ground, and you must face it calmly even if you are attacked by swords and axes!
Fang Jun tightened his cloak tightly, looked at Li Junxian, Dugu Mou, and everyone in Jingzhao Mansion, sighed, and said: "If someone goes away this time and never comes back, you should prepare good wine today next year." Go to someone’s grave and treat someone to a drink.”
Everyone was speechless.
I want to say a few words of relief, but where are the words of relief?
If you go, you will have a narrow escape from death, but if you don’t go, it won’t work...
"Erlang, take care!"
This time, the subordinates including Li Junxian, Dugu Mou and the Jingzhao Mansion did not address Fang Jun by his official title, but affectionately called him "Erlang".
"Is this a farewell?" Fang Jun chuckled, took a breath, and shouted: "Changsun Chong, your second grandfather is here to meet you!"
Straighten your chest and stride towards the top of the mountain.
Changsun Chong chose this hiding place very cleverly. The hillside is steep, and jagged and strange rocks appear from time to time. There are many gravel pits under the thick pine needles and rotten leaves. If you step on it, you will get sprained. Danger.
Such a hillside is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if it cannot be defended, it can be easily retreated. It is very difficult for the enemy to launch an attack from the foot of the mountain, and there will always be plenty of time left to arrange a retreat.
From this point of view, Changsun Chong is not entirely a fool. At least he must have read "Wei Liaozi"...
The mountain wind was strong, making Fang Jun's cloak rustle.
Fang Jun originally wanted to go up the mountain with his head held high. No matter what Changsun Chong planned, at least he had to appear in front of him with an impassioned attitude. In the past, I could carry you and beat you up, but today, even if you are going to die, I will still hold your chest and head high, fearless!
However, it is difficult to hold one's chest up when going up the mountain. In addition, the hillside below is rugged. I accidentally stepped on the gravel under the rotten leaves and almost sprained my foot several times. Suddenly, I no longer cared about my demeanor. I bent my waist and looked at the road under my feet, looking for a place to stay. In some places, I even had to use my hands and feet to pass, and I climbed the mountain with a bang...
The higher you go, the denser the pine forest becomes.
When Fang Jun climbed to the edge of the pine forest on the hillside, he saw Princess Changle in palace clothes with her hands cut behind her back and being held by two dead men in black. Each of the two dead men hid half of their bodies behind Princess Changle to guard against shots coming from down the mountain. With a cold arrow, a sharp horizontal knife was placed on Princess Changle's slender and white jade neck. With just a slight drag, the sharp blade would cut into Princess Changle's delicate and white neck, cutting off the artery...
"Hey, hold the knife farther away. After all, I was once your young lady. If the sword has no eyes, you won't feel guilty if it hurts you?" Fang Jun took a breath and pointed at the two dead men in black and shouted.
The two dead men were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that the Highness in their hands was really their young lady. Although he still reconciled with the young master, this time the young master sneaked back to Chang'an and kidnapped Princess Changle, wasn't he just intending to fly away with her?
What if the hand shakes and the delicate neck of Princess Changle is cut off...
Thinking of this, the dead soldier holding the knife loosened his grip slightly, and the sharp steel knife moved away slightly.
"Search him and bring him to me!"
Changsun Chong's voice sounded from behind a big pine tree not far away.
He was probably afraid that Fang Jun had hidden some weapons such as crossbows and firearms, so Changsun Chong was very cautious and did not show up even at this moment, fearing that Fang Jun would suddenly kill him and his revenge would not be successful. He opposed the assassination...
Fang Jun's heart was clear, and he thought that Changsun Chong was crazy and planned to die with him. At this moment, Changsun Chong was acting so cautiously, so there was only one explanation - this kid was afraid of death!
As long as you are afraid of death, it will be easy to handle. If you are afraid of death, you will be afraid. If you are afraid, there will be flaws.
I'm just afraid that if I see Fang Jun, I'll think of killing everyone with one knife and I won't survive...
Two more dead men in black emerged from the forest, expecting Fang Jun to pounce on them.
"Stop!" Fang Jun stood on the spot and shouted with his halberd pointed.
The two dead soldiers were startled, subconsciously stopped and looked at each other.
Fang Jun shouted at the big tree where Changsun Chong was hiding: "Changsun Chong, don't say that my brother won't give you a chance to live. I have only one purpose for coming here this time, which is to bring Princess Changle back to her with all her beard and tail." Your Majesty, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me, and I, Fang Jun, have no use for it. Your head is here to ask for rewards! So if you know the truth, hand Princess Changle to me immediately, and then you can leave. I guarantee that all the soldiers and horses under the mountain will immediately withdraw to Chang'an! From now on, the sky is high and the sea is broad! You can reach the ends of the world as long as you jump!”
Changsun said angrily: "Fart! Who are you trying to scare? Even if you have thousands of troops, the Zhongnan Mountains are crisscrossed by ravines and ridges. If you want to catch me, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. As long as Princess Changle is in my hands, what can you do to me?" ?”
Fang Jun chuckled: "Changsun Chong, do you think that with your back on the cliff, the army can't surround you and can only let you leave? Do you remember the hot air balloon I made on the top of Lishan Mountain?"
Speaking of the top of Lishan Mountain, Changsun's eyes were about to burst!
It was that time when Fang Jun experimented with a hot air balloon. He and Hou Junji and others conspired to cause rebellion, but failed and Hou Junji was killed.
Then he incited the Shanyue people to besiege Fang Jun in Niuzhuji, but he still managed to escape!
That’s tens of thousands of people!
Even tens of thousands of dogs can kill Fang Jun, right?
But Fang Jun brought out dozens or hundreds of armored cavalry overnight, killing them so hard that the sky was dim and the ground was filled with blood...
However, apart from being angry, Changsun Chong was also suddenly startled.
Then why don't you remember the hot air balloon that can fly high into the sky?
If thousands of troops are searching the ground, there will be hot air balloons flying high in the sky monitoring the ground...
Even if Zhongnan Mountain has high mountains and dense forests, people like myself can't escape easily, right? He only had to endure ten days and a half, even if he couldn't be caught, he was forced to become a savage fleeing in the mountains...
Changsun Chong was frightened in his heart. The two Goguryeo warriors beside him looked panicked when he heard the word "hot air balloon" and quickly asked: "Master Changsun, what is a hot air balloon...?"
Changsun Chong said helplessly: "It is a thing that can fly in the sky like a bird at will. It can also carry several people and observe the surface of the earth from a high position..."
"Hiss..."
The two Goguryeo warriors took a breath of cold air. The Tang Dynasty was indeed full of treasures and outstanding people. How could it be possible to create such magical things? And after hearing Changsun Chong's explanation, the two of them were not stupid, and they immediately understood Changsun Chong's worries...
With the whole world chasing after me, wouldn't people like myself become living targets? Unless you can turn into a mouse and dig a hole into it, you will never come out...
"Master Changsun, in my opinion, it is better to just follow what Fang Jun said..."
"That's right, let him lead the army to retreat far away, and then we can escape for our lives."
They originally thought they could easily escape with the cliff behind them, but now that the situation has changed, how could they be willing to bury their bones in a foreign land and die in a foreign land?
"No!"
Changsun Chong gritted his teeth, with angry flames shooting out of his eyes: "This person is my life and death enemy. The hatred between me and him is irreconcilable. I must keep his life here today!"
The Goguryeo warrior said anxiously: "But if we kill him, how will we escape?"
Changsun Chong said angrily: "Useless thing! Have you forgotten how Da Molizhi handed over to Dai Er and others when you came here? In the Tang Dynasty, everything must obey the command of someone, and you are not allowed to resist!"
The two Goguryeo warriors also said angrily: "That doesn't mean that we can be assigned by you and ultimately leave our lives worthless on the land of the Tang Dynasty! We are the retainers of Da Molizhi, even if we die, You have to die for Da Molizhi. Who do you think you are? A bereaved dog who has fled to the end of the world because of his rebellion!"
Changsun Chong almost went crazy!
Doesn’t it say in the books that the Goguryeo warriors were brave and indifferent to life and death?
Why did he meet such a greedy and fearful person? Could it be that he met a fake Goguryeo warrior?
But this is not the time to argue. Even if these two cowards are executed, it cannot be at this time.
Holding back his anger, Changsun shouted: "Shut up! How about I wait to see if Fang Jun can really retreat, and then we can argue?"
This time, the two Goguryeo warriors followed suit and nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Wouldn't it be troublesome if we were deceived by this man? Here we let Princess Changle go, but over there he mobilized all his troops to hunt him down. There are still people in the sky. If the ball flies, it’s over!”
Fang Jun was wondering, why didn't Changsun Chong talk to him for a long time?
How did he know that internal strife almost broke out here...(End of Chapter)
