Chapter 3442 Escape in panic
Under the heavy snow, the "Hundred Cavalry" in black clothes and armor poured into the Zhao Guogong Mansion. The well-trained soldiers were like wolves and tigers, cooperating with each other and dispersed, rushing to every courtyard and every room. , entering through the front door, the tide generally occupied everywhere, and then rushed towards the backyard.
"Baiqisi" knows the topography and layout of the buildings in Zhao Guogong's mansion very well. Obviously, he can do it by just looking at the map of the mansion in a moment...
Changsun Wen's complexion first turned red, and then turned livid.
Even if His Majesty Li Er came to the dignified Zhao Guogong Mansion several times, he would get off the chariot in front of the door and enter on foot. Has he ever suffered such humiliation since Zhenguan? It is a great shame and humiliation to be attacked by such weapons now!
With a "choking" sound, Changsun Wen pulled out his sword, and the soldiers gathered around him and yelled at Li Junxian: "Don't go too far! This is the Duke of Zhao's palace, and even the prince cannot give such an order. Order, I warn you to withdraw your soldiers quickly, otherwise the whole family will fight to the end, vowing to protect the honor of the Changsun family!"
The soldiers on the left and right also shared the same hatred of the enemy. As soon as Changsun Wen gave the order, they rushed forward and fought a bloody battle with these elite "Hundred Cavalry".
The soldiers around Li Junxian also gathered around, and the two sides were at war with each other, with the attitude of fighting bloody battles if they disagreed.
However, Li Junxian just waved his hand to ask the soldiers behind him to calm down, and then calmly said to Changsun Wen: "The order I received is to enter the mansion to apprehend the rebel Changsun Chong. The Changsun family has already harbored rebellion. Complicit in rebellion, even if your father is here, I will not give in Half a point. Also, His Royal Highness personally issued an order, saying that if anyone obstructs the arrest of treason, he will be punished with the same crime and will be killed without mercy! Changsun Wen, you really want to make everyone in the house have their heads removed and their bodies abandoned for the crime of treason. In the city? ”
Changsun Wen was filled with anger, and the sword in his hand trembled. After all, he did not dare to step forward to fight Li Junxian.
This man is His Majesty Li Er's number one minion. He has always only obeyed His Majesty Li Er's orders. No matter who tries to win over him, they all end in failure. Now that His Majesty has given the prince the power to supervise the country, Li Junxian will naturally obey the prince's orders as if I were here in person.
Even if the prince ordered the entire family of Duke Zhao to be slaughtered immediately, Li Junxian would probably follow the order...
The two of them were in a stalemate at the gate, seemingly at war with each other, but in fact, Changsun Wen was too cautious and did not dare to take any drastic measures.
At this moment, he was confronting Li Junxian with a sword. It could be said that he was filled with righteous indignation, but it was better to say that he was showing off to outsiders, proving that the children of the Changsun family still had some character. Even with a steel sword on their neck, they were no less impressive. The reason why "Hundred Cavalry" was allowed to break into the mansion and seize people was because it was the prince's order. The eldest grandson's family was loyal to the country, so naturally he would not stop it.
In fact, Li Junxian knew in his heart that Changsun Wen may not have some determination in his heart to prevent "Hundred Cavalry" from entering the house and seizing people, and it is not impossible to even be happy to see it succeed...
……
In the wind and snow, the palace of Zhao Guogong was full of wolves running around, crying for their father and mother. The "Hundred Cavalry" soldiers rushed into the mansion to take people, but they didn't know where Changsun Chong was hiding, so they naturally wanted to hunt him down. The servants in the house were relatively good, they didn't dare to stop these ferocious beasts with strong armor, and they all hid in the corner and shivered. However, as the leader of Guanlong, the Changsun family was once the number one sect in Zhenguan, so the largest number of wealthy slaves in the family were wealthy slaves. These powerful slaves have always relied on the power of the Changsun family to run rampant. Even low-level officials have to be humble in front of them. They have always been arrogant and tyrannical. How can the government swallow such a sigh of relief when they are so abused? They all shouted and tried to stop the "Hundred Cavalry" search.
However, although they were arrogant, the "Hundred Riders" were even more arrogant than them!
After all, they are just domestic slaves of the powerful ministers of the dynasty, while the "Hundred Cavalry" are the minions of the emperor's eagles and dogs!
Led by the arrogant and extravagant sons of the mansion, these powerful slaves of the eldest grandson family shouted and cursed to stop them, blocking the way and not allowing "Baiqi" to enter the inner house. Don't dare to kill anyone. After all, this is the residence of Duke Zhao, not to mention that Duke Zhao is the first minister of Zhenguan, the leader of Guanlong, and the natal family of Queen Wende!
Who dares to use weapons here?
But soon, they paid the price for their arrogance.
"Hundred Cavalry" is the most forbidden person, and has an unswerving will to execute orders. Wherever the order comes, he will not stop even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire. The order they received was "Anyone who tries to stop him will be killed without mercy." So when they saw someone blocking them, without thinking, they drew out their sharp swords one after another, and without even saying hello, they just slashed their heads and faces. .
Snowflakes were flying, blood was splashing, and the broken limbs instantly covered the courtyard. The shrill screams pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks, frightening the people in the mansion to the point of turning pale and trembling.
"Come in and arrest people!"
"Whoever dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
"Quick, quick, quick, that courtyard is Chang Sun Chong's former residence, go in and search carefully!"
"Everyone should stay where they are. Anyone who shouts and runs around will be killed!"
……
Countless "Hundred Cavalry" soldiers rushed into the mansion under the leadership of their respective captains, brigade commanders, and school lieutenants. They spread like a tide, leaving no corner behind. Even every person in the mansion had to carefully inspect and identify them, like a grate. After a quick grate, even if Changsun Chong disguised himself and got in there, he might not be able to get through.
Outside the gate, Li Junxian raised his head and looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky. His ears were filled with the roars and shouts in Duke Zhao's mansion. He raised his hand and patted the fallen snow on his shoulders, and glanced at the eldest son Wen in front of him. : "There is no need for Changsun Wulang to be so resentful. Changsun Chong is a treasonous traitor. Since your family is harboring him, you should naturally know the consequences and costs of this move. However, it is too pretentious to act like you have been wronged at this moment. I have important matters and cannot hold hands with Wu Lang here. Yan Huan, I'll take my leave first, Wulang, you can take care of yourself."
With a slight nod, he led his troops and a group of soldiers to step on the snow on the street and left Chongrenfang. After leaving the square gate, Li Junxian stopped, looked at his subordinates on the left and right, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know their respective areas and locations?"
"Clear!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"Very good, go immediately to the place that was predicted in advance. If the thief escapes from someone's defense area, come and see him!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded with a roar, then jumped on their horses and dispersed like wind and clouds, rushing to their respective defense zones prepared in advance, waiting until the thieves fell into the trap.
Li Junxian tightened the cloak tightly, feeling that the fine iron armor was like solid ice, and it was cold to the bone at first. He immediately raised his feet and walked towards Pingkangfang across the street.
The gate of Pingkangfang had already been blocked by the "Hundred Cavalry" soldiers. When he saw Li Junxian coming, he quickly opened the gate and followed Li Junxian inside. Then he walked straight through the streets and alleys in the square to a brothel. Already surrounded by "Hundred Cavalry" soldiers and Jingzhao government officials.
Li Junxian walked into the door and saw that all the madams and singers in the brothel were under house arrest in the lobby. They were all dressed in red skirts and green jackets, and they were very charming. At this moment, they tried to lean together as much as possible, clinging to each other, and they all had green lips. Bai, terrified.
Li Junxian didn't squint as he came to a room on the first floor. Da Ma Jin Dao sat on a chair and asked someone to make a cup of tea. He sipped it slowly while staring at the ground under his feet.
The carpet has been rolled up and set aside, revealing the neatly arranged green bricks on the ground. Against a corner of the wall, several two-foot-square green bricks look a bit awkward. There is no mortar to glue the gaps between the bricks. The room was very clean, and it was easy to remove the few green bricks.
Similarly, if there is a secret passage hidden underneath, it is easy to lift the bricks from below...
*****
Zhao Guogong's Mansion, backyard.
When the noise in the front yard suddenly started, Changsun Chong, who had just returned from outside the city and had already taken a bath and was getting ready to go to bed, became alert. The vigilance developed from years of exile in the world made him quickly put on his clothes, but someone had already broken in through the door.
Changsun Chong casually grabbed the sword on the table and pulled it out halfway, then he heard the person calling: "Brother! Something bad has happened. The imperial court has sent troops to arrest you. My brother is dealing with Li Junxian outside the gate. , but the soldiers of the 'Hundred Cavalry' have already rushed into the house and killed everyone on sight. Brother, leave quickly!"
There was a buzzing sound in Changsun Chong's head, and he felt dizzy.
He knew that not only had his sneaking back into Guanzhong been known to the imperial court, but also the major events planned behind the scenes had been discovered by the spies of the "Hundred Cavalry". Otherwise, the "Hundred Cavalry" who should not be the Royal Eagle Dog came into the palace to take people. , let alone a mass killing in the Changsun family's mansion. (End of chapter)
