"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two more oil cans were caught by Li's servants and thrown back. They hit the archers formation on the east side of the road impartially. As the oil cans fell apart, several walls of fire rose from the ground, making the burning assassins cry.

Howling wolf.

After this chaos, a gap opened in the surrounding iron barrel-like formation in an instant. Li Chengzhi led four servants, like five enraged beasts, and rushed towards the gap.

The assassin leader also didn’t expect that there would be such a flaw in what was supposed to be a fatal situation? He was so anxious that he shouted loudly: Set up a net!"

"Setting the net!"

"Setting the net..."

There were shouts and shouts, and the assassins on the roadside ran back and forth. When Li Chengzhi rushed to only ten steps away from the gap, a large net was suddenly erected on the roadside.

The net is four to five feet long and should be made of raw silk. The knots are smooth and white, and are about as thick as a baby's forearm.

After just one glance, Li Chengzhi felt chills all over his body. The net was covered with sharp hooks and barbs, and anyone who touched it would definitely be hooked to death on the net. The net rope was so thick that it was still standing in mid-air and could not be used.

, a cut with a knife only leaves a shallow mark.

Fire is even worse. The raw silk is so tightly woven that even if oil is poured on it, it will probably take half a moment to burn through. By then, he and several of his servants will have already been caught in the net.

Is it really a dead end?

The timing was chosen so well and the plan was so rigorous that apart from Gao Zhao, Li Chengzhi really couldn't think of anyone else.

But he couldn't figure it out, why did Gao Zhao dare to do such a heinous act in front of his own house?

You must know that Li Chengzhi is not just an idle prince. He is also an important minister who is in the heart of the emperor, and his every move can stir up the world. He is also a rising leader among the Han family.

How dare Gao Zhao attempt to assassinate him in broad daylight?

To put it more seriously, this is not just the enmity between him and Li Chengzhi. It is Gao Zhao's blatant instigation of the imperial court, the Queen Mother, and more importantly, the aristocratic families in the world.

But Gao Zhaoruo had some confidence. He immediately rebelled after the great victory in Beizhen. Why bother to go back to the capital to seek the position of Taiwei in order to secretly strategize and gain more control?

He is far from ready to break with the family and the imperial court.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like someone deliberately framed Gao Zhao?

As if a light flashed in his mind, Li Chengzhi suddenly thought of Yuan Ying, who had become as thin as a skeleton, with a lifeless look on his face, but two flames were still burning in his eyes...

The more critical the situation, the calmer Li Chengzhi became.

This kind of calmness comes from the confidence of two lifetimes, and also comes from the experience of repeatedly taking risks, narrowly escape from death, and almost die.

Although he is afraid of death, he never accepts his fate, let alone becomes incompetent and furious.

"Retreat!"

Li Chengzhi shouted, turned around, and rushed towards the damaged carriage. He only had to seize the carriage and take the oil tank in it to defend and counterattack.

When he pulled away, his eyes were like lightning, and he took a quick glance at the Gaofu Archway.

Compared with just now, there are more people on the archway, crowded like a school of sardines, with only heads moving, dense and dense.

If it was really Gao Zhao who did it, how dare the servants of the Gao family gather around and watch the excitement and get so excited?

But what if Gao Zhao had already anticipated this and intended to arrange it this way?

In the blink of an eye, Li Chengzhi had countless thoughts in his mind. But at this time, how could he still hesitate and waver?

Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth vigorously: "Go west and enter Yannianli!"

"Ah!"

Before the roar ended, he suddenly heard a familiar roar, and Li Chengzhi's heart suddenly tightened.

Li Rui?

He suddenly looked eastward, and saw several retainers back to back, fighting with more than a dozen assassins.

The big man like an iron tower no longer throws oil cans, but instead holds a sword like a door panel and stands ready.

Looking at Li Rui again, he seemed to be crazy and rushed towards the big man with a waist knife.

What is Li Yuan'er doing?

Wu Shi's combined attack formation has been practiced for thousands of times, and he is no longer familiar with it. He can protect Li Chengzhi's rear wing simply by forming a defensive formation step by step.

But why do you want to fight that big man as if you are seeking death?

Just looking at the body shape, that big man can fit three Li Rui...

Li Rui screamed strangely, raised his sword straight and pierced the big man's chest. The man didn't panic at all, and lightly knocked the big knife in his hand, and Li Rui's saber flew into the air like a toothpick.

Well, why is it so light? It seems like the thin monkey threw the knife away on purpose?

I can’t control that much, I’ll cut it first and then talk about it...

The big man muttered secretly, grinning, with a ferocious smile on his face. He slashed at Li Rui in front of him with the force of an ax chopping up Mount Huashan.

But when the knife fell, there was no one in sight?

Can you still enter the ground out of thin air?

The big man was wondering when he suddenly felt a cold sensation under his crotch, like a red-hot iron rod being stabbed into his perineum. In just an instant, a heartbreaking pain hit his whole body.

When he lowered his head again, there was actually an arrow stuck under his crotch, and the tail feathers were still trembling. The dazzling blood dripped down like water.

Before the big man could scream, Li Rui rolled on the spot, jumped up, and stabbed the dagger into the back of the big man's neck.

By the time Li Chengzhi reacted, the big man had collapsed to the ground, and Li Rui had already gotten into the carriage.

Haha, good job Li Rui...

Li Chengzhi was ecstatic.

I didn't expect that Li Yuan'er was so courageous and had such poisonous eyes, that he would actually think of me?

It seemed that he was going to die with the Han Dynasty, but his target was the disabled car. There was an oil tank in that car...

But before he was happy for three seconds, the smile froze on Li Chengzhi's face.

Li Rui got out of the carriage with a sad face: "It's empty, not even a single oil can..."

Impossible, why is it so anticlimactic?

How could it be possible that only a few cans of oil were harvested despite Gao Meng's hard work, killing and injuring tens of thousands of civilians?

Suspicious in his mind, Li Rui seemed to have gone crazy. His facial features were instantly squeezed into a ball, and his voice was sharp and harsh, so harsh: "Slave... Che Slave..."

It was almost an instinctive reaction, like hitting a hammer on the head and nailing Li Chengzhi into the ground. His long body suddenly shrunk, half shorter out of thin air. If you look closely, Li Chengzhi's body seemed to be broken.

They are together, with their heads on the insteps and their hands holding their knees.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chengzhi shrank into a ball and rolled out several feet.

At just this moment, several spears shot out like lightning. They seemed to tear the air apart, making a strange and harsh sound.

"Dong dong dong dong dong..."

The sound came one after another, just like the beating of war drums. Several crossbows nailed several of Li's servants with great force.

The two servants were knocked upside down and flew up. As they groaned, fresh food spurted out from their mouths. When blown by the wind, they fell down like petals.

With a sound of "chi", another bloody arrow shot up, and a huge head flew into the air. But the body covered in silver armor still stood on the spot, as straight as a javelin.

A spear flew close to Li Chengzhi's scalp. If it had been even one foot closer, he would have passed through his head.

But Li Chengzhi was not worried and paused for several breaths.

Looking at the headless retainer who collapsed to the ground, his heart seemed to be on fire, as if all the blood in his body had boiled, making him tremble all over.

But my mind is clearer and my thinking is faster.

This is not Gao Zhao's method.

They all say that Zi Xiao is uncle, and this sentence is confirmed when it comes to Yuan Ke and Gao Zhao. Compared with Yuan Ke, Gao Zhao has a more feminine and cautious temperament.

If Gao Zhao really wanted to kill him, and he would not hesitate to attack in front of his own house, why would he need to go to such trouble with a crossbow?

Just dig a few pits in the road in advance, bury them with kerosene, and then trap him and his car in them, and burn him to death just by burning them.

The crossbows, the hook net, the armored cavalry blocking both ends of the royal road, and the empty remnants of the chariots all showed that the assassins did not have much fuel, and they used conventional methods for the assassination.
p>

Li Chengzhi suddenly turned around and saw that the oil cans were no longer thrown on the roadside, but the hook and net were in front, and the swordsmen and spearmen were behind, pressing over like two walls.

The cavalry at both ends have also begun to urge their horses, intending to speed up the charge.

Not Gao Zhao?

But if it weren't for him, who could have set up such a big murderous plot under Gao Zhao's nose?

It's also possible that this old thief has noticed it, but pretends to be confused and is happy to have someone help him get rid of this serious problem in his heart.
