Chapter 75 Assassinate the King and Kill the Driver (Part 2)
With Li Shimin's ability to conquer the world immediately, he might be able to avoid it; at the worst, Fang Xuanling tried his best to save himself and block the knife...
There are many possibilities, but no one expected that in the flash, Xie Yi, a black stick would suddenly stretch out in Huaiyang County, a strange and strange stick.
Cheng Zhijie saw it from afar and thought it was a machine for firing weapons, but... he looked closely and shot nothing.
Xie Yi also discovered this embarrassing problem. The electric baton was placed for too long and the power was lost and it could not be replenished. It had long been unable to emit instantaneous high-voltage electricity, let alone corona.
Oh no, I couldn't save you, but I took Qingqing's life instead, and I was embarrassed!
but……
Under the gloomy sky, a faint light flashed faintly at the top of the baton, and the assassin's hand holding the knife suddenly shook.
The assassin's brown eyes moved away from Li Shimin, and looked at Xie Yi and the black electric baton in surprise, a little surprised and puzzled.
What is this? Why does it make your arms numb and feel like you are losing your strength in an instant, and the long sword almost loses your hand.
It was just this moment when the knife was numb. The knife could not fall, and it was no longer possible to cut out the second knife. Cheng Zhijie rushed over desperately, and cut his sword into the blade, blocking Li Shimin.
If the assassination wants to succeed, either have advanced weapons and outstanding force; or they can succeed in the surprise attack while the person is unprepared.
Unfortunately, this group of assassins who were killed by the king did not have the former, and the latter was no longer an advantage over time.
The assassination just now was a sudden attack, and the disaster victims were in a flash, so that the guards were negligent and had no time to serve as the best defense.
There were also some imperial guards stationed in the distance and the officers of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, who were blocked by scattered refugees and could not arrive at the front of the king to protect the enemy at the first moment. As a result, the defense was weak and almost broke through by the assassin.
At this moment, the victims had already fled in all directions, and the officials rushed to protect the carriage, but the assassin had no advantage.
Losing the opportunity to hurt or even kill Li Shimin that time, their assassination was completely declared a failure.
The assassin was determined to assassinate, but he was extremely rational. After discovering that something was wrong, he immediately issued a retreat order.
At the moment of shock, there is no danger.
Out of caution, Cheng Zhijie did not pursue him. With the night and chaos, a large number of assassins quickly escaped in the wilderness. Those who were blocked by the guards or injured also committed suicide by taking poison, and no one was alive.
Deadman, the expected result.
"Your Majesty is frightened. I am not strong enough to protect you. I deserve to die!" Cheng Zhijie, who has always been careless, was extremely serious at this moment and knelt down to apologize to Li Shimin.
"I am determined to act alone and do not listen to you, and I am not hurt. What crime do you have?" Li Shimin, who was still calm and calm in the face of changes, seemed not angry, and showed great magnanimity.
Although this is true, it is really rare that Li Shimin was able to admit his mistakes quickly and not blame Cheng Zhijie.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die."
The person who apologized for this time was Cui Zhiwen, the governor of Shanzhou. The emperor was assassinated in his jurisdiction. He was unable to escape the blame whether he was not strict in his jurisdiction or failed to supervise.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin did not get angry and said leisurely: "Don't rush to apologize first, arrest the assassin as soon as possible, investigate his identity and the envoy, and then talk about it!"
"Yes, I will handle it immediately." Cui Zhiwen was trembling and nervous, and quickly left for the job.
"Xuanling, what are the casualties?"
Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty, most of the officials accompanying him are fine, and more than 20 guards were killed or injured..."
"The injured are treated as soon as possible, and the deceased are buried with a generous amount." Li Shimin ordered, turned around and looked at Xie Yi, and said curiously: "Xiaoyao, thanks to you to protect him just now!"
Cheng Zhijie and Fang Xuanling, who were standing by, also looked gratefully. If Xie Yi had not taken action, one of them would have neglected their duties and would have been blamed; the other would have protected him with his own body, or he might have been immortal.
"Your Majesty is so serious, this is my duty." Xie Yi replied humbly. It was just a coincidence, but it was a merit of saving the Lord. Of course, it should not be missed.
"You don't have to be modest in your rescue." Li Shimin's eyes fell on the electric baton and said curiously: "What is this? What kind of weapon is it?"
Fang Xuanling was also surprised and said, "Yes, just now, Xie County just raised this object, as if there were no weapons to intersect, but it could block the assassin. Moreover, its shape and material are unique, and it is really magical."
"Your Majesty, this thing is not a weapon, but... a magic weapon!" Xie Yi pondered for a moment and gave a "thrilling" answer.
"Magic weapon?" Everyone was shocked and seemed to be a little unbelievable.
Xie Yi nodded and said, "That's right, this thing is given by the old fairy man riding a green cow. At that time, the fairy man had demonstrated it. Just press this mechanism to release a thunderous force, knock down the criminal and make him faint.
However, the magic weapon was left for nearly a year, and its magic power was lost, but there was no blessing. Therefore, its power was not as strong as before. It could only release a weak power of lightning, which could make the assassin's arms numb and temporarily weak..."
"Really?" The king and his ministers looked shocked, and they felt that it was too incredible.
"I have no false words. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find a strong guard to try it. I believe there is still a weak magic power in the magic weapon." Xie Yi swears and lies with his eyes open.
"Okay!" Li Shimin waved his hand and a guard stepped forward. After personally experiencing it, the description was basically consistent with what Xie Yi said.
Everyone was skeptical. Li Shimin looked at Xie Yi with deep and distant eyes. He originally didn't believe in the so-called "old immortal riding a green cow", thinking that it was just the words that Xie Yi made up to please him, but at this moment... his point of view was shaken.
A young man who had never left Chenzhou suddenly offered a high-yield and excellent breed that was not available in the Tang Dynasty. He also possessed peerless literary talent and superb medical skills. At this moment, he took out such magical "magic weapons" and made great contributions to the rescue.
Li Shimin held it in his hand for a long time and confirmed that the shape of this object was as good as the material before, and could release the same power as lightning.
Isn’t lightning just divine power in this era?
Could it be that it was really given by the immortal man, and what Xie Yi said was true? Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little subconscious trust in his heart. If this is true, then the Tang Dynasty... himself... Xie Yi was a blessing general sent by God to help the Tang Dynasty?
It is obviously incredible, but the facts are there. If you cannot explain it with the common sense of knowledge, you will involuntarily choose to believe it, even if the words are mysterious and mysterious.
After just a moment of psychological activities, Xie Yi's weight in Li Shimin's heart became much more important.
Simplified in the heart of the emperor, nothing more than this!
"Xiaoyao, can this magic weapon still reappear divine power?"
Xie Yi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. His magic power will dissipate and he will not be able to bless you. In the future, it will be just a stick."
"It is indeed reasonable for ordinary people to have no magic powers." Li Shimin sighed lightly, turned around and said to several close ministers around him, "What do you think of the assassination person?"
"This..." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "No one was captured in his lifetime, and the deceased had no clues. He had no clue yet, and he still needed to pursue and investigate..."
Xie Yi said, "The assassin may not be from Central Plains!"
“Why?”
"I just noticed that when I rushed closer, the assassin who was stopped by me was not black, but brown... he looked like a Hu person from the Western Regions."
"Brown, Hu people?" Li Shimin's eyes moved and he turned around and said, "Xuanling..."
Fang Xuanling said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's too early to draw a conclusion, and we need to investigate it in detail."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you come to host it, co-organized by Cui Zhiwen, to see if you can dig up some clues in Shanzhou."
"I obey the order!"
Xie Yi could hear clearly. He heard Li Shimin's words, and he probably had a partner of suspicion, but he didn't know which one he was? It's true. You, Li Er, are all enemies all over the world, and you are so careless when you go out. What are you saying?
Xie County was unable to complain, and the sound of horse hooves sounded, and a ray of smoke and dust galloped over. Several guards dismounted not far away and rushed to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the imperial camp was attacked!"
What? Li Shimin and his ministers were shocked. Unexpectedly, the camp was also attacked when the emperor was assassinated.
"What's the situation? Are my children all okay?" Li Shimin's expression changed drastically and he asked anxiously.
"Return to Your Majesty, the King of Wei is safe, the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang were a little scared... The second son of the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County was seriously injured, and there is also..."
The guard who reported the news said in a deep voice: "Madam Du from the Zi family of Xie County was stabbed in order to protect King Jin and Princess Jinyang..."
