Chapter 959: Making the most of the situation (repair)

Dugu Jiu studied sword techniques and gradually formed his own unique sword move. This sword move is specially designed for defense. There is still attack in the defense, and it looks like he is moving forward, as if he is fighting for his life!

With such a shocking power, even the dead soldiers could only retreat. After all, their mission had not been completed yet. If they died like this, all their efforts would be wasted.

"There's not much time left! Leave ten people to entangle him, and the rest follow me!"

Asina's association shouted, and the ten dead soldiers showed a resolute look and rushed towards Dugu Jiu with a desperate look. Under his leadership, the remaining people split the door of the room and planned to kill Li Shimin on the spot.

Li Shimin was not a person who was waiting to die. He ran to the bedside, found his sword and pulled it out, and wanted to fight with these thieves. Ashina's association rate obviously underestimated Li Shimin's military value. As the general of Tiance who was galloping around the world back then, Li Shimin's military value was definitely among the top ten among the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

He slashed with a knife, and Li Shimin blocked it casually, stabbed Ashina's sorcerer on the shoulder with a sword, and blood burst out, and it was obvious that this arm was useless.

"Kill him for me!" After Ashina's association rate was injured, she became even more hysterical and ordered the dead soldiers to rush forward. Fortunately, the room was small and these big men could not perform. Li Shimin was one-on-four, but he could still hold on.

"Kill his woman!" Asina's sorcerer roared wildly. A dead soldier heard it and raised his sword and slashed at Yin Guifei without hesitation. How could Li Shimin ignore his woman's injuries? He immediately pushed away the sword in front of him and flew over. In a panic, he could not take it into consideration and the empty door was wide open on his back. Asina's sorcerer waited for this opportunity. Regardless of the pain in his arm, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it.

Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce Li Shimin's back, Concubine Yin didn't know where the strength and courage came from, so she pulled Li Shimin. Then the force used her back to block Li Shimin's front and protected Li Shimin under her.

The sound of the dagger splitting brocade sounded, and Li Shimin turned around in horror, only seeing Yin Fei vomiting blood, and her whole body was already in a coma.

"I want to kill you!"

Li Shimin was heartbroken and held Yin Fei with one hand and slashed randomly. The assassin was taken away by his momentum and could not approach him for a moment.

At this time, Li Mu, who saw the fireworks signal, finally brought people over. The Jinyiwei carried a crossbow with him. Seeing this situation, he immediately greeted him. The black-clothed assassin was cut down like wheat. Dugu Jiu also broke free from the entanglement and rushed towards Li Shimin.

The Jinyiwei also followed immediately. When Ashina's association saw that the Jinyiwei came, he knew that he would definitely not be able to kill Li Shimin this time. He didn't care about the others. He jumped, stepped on the shoulder of an assassin, broke through the tiles and rushed to the roof. Of course, there were also those in the Jinyiwei who could do light skills and immediately chased, but Ashina's association skills were extremely high. The Jinyiwei could not catch up with him. Only Dugu Jiu could barely catch up with him.

Dugu Jiu followed Ashina to join forces and walked away. At this time, Eunuch Gao returned after dealing with the initial assassin. Seeing Concubine Yin’s miserable appearance, he was stunned. Seeing Li Shimin’s look like he was lost, Eunuch Gao blamed himself, and drew his sword and wanted to commit suicide.

"What are you doing!"

Li Mu grabbed Eunuch Gao's wrist and shouted sternly: "The person is not dead yet, so why don't you go to see the doctor!"

Only then did Eunuch Gao recover, threw the soft sword in his hand, and flew to find the imperial physician. Li Mu came to Li Shimin and looked at the blood-covered Concubine Yin, not knowing how to comfort him. From Li Shimin's appearance, it can be seen that he had a deep affection for Concubine Yin.

Li You rushed over and saw the scene inside the house. He was stunned. His eyes turned dark and he almost fainted! Li Mu grabbed him and dragged him to Li Shimin and Concubine Yin. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the person in charge is--"

"I recognize him as Ashina." Li Shimin's face was as cold as frost: "I shouldn't hesitate. When I first saw him, I knew that this person must have a rebellion. I shouldn't hesitate-I want to kill all..."

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu interrupted Li Shimin loudly and did not let him say it. Li Shimin looked at him, and Li Mu said word by word: "Your Majesty is Tian Khan, how can you do this? How can one person be guilty and implicate the entire clan?"

Li Shimin's lips trembled. After a long time, he took a deep breath and handed Concubine Yin to the imperial physician who happened to arrive. He shouted "The Warrior Yin" and "I don't know how many sword wounds" he had seen. His past experience told him that Concubine Yin was critical, but he had no worries about his life. He was not a doctor, and he could not do anything to cure and save lives. What he could do now was to make Concubine Yin's sword not in vain.

Those who hurt others will pay the price.

When the emperor was angry, blood flowed. But it was precisely because he was the emperor and he was the Khan of Heaven, why did the Turkic people be innocent?

What Li Mu said makes sense, he must remain sane.

"Take good care of your mother." Li Shimin patted Li You's shoulder with red eyes, then stopped looking at the unconscious Yin Concubine and walked out strode. Li Mu quickly followed, and the Jinyiwei had already filled the entire courtyard with only a narrow path, and even a fly could not get in.

"High-ranking officials!"

"The old slave is here, and the old slave dies. The old slave is foolish and is actually trapped in the trap of diversion from the mountain-" Eunuch Gao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Shimin's hand. Li Shimin sighed and said, "There is no need to say these words. I will send an order to apprentice the magistrate of the Liuzhechong Prefecture, and order Hou Junji to lead the third camp of the garrison across the river, Feige passed on a letter to Li Ji and Li Xiaogong, tell them the situation, and they naturally know how to do it."

After saying that, Li Shimin seemed to have exhausted his strength and looked at Li Mu: "You hold the Shangfang Sword and handle all the affairs here on my behalf. I am going to accompany Yin Fei. Hou Junjiruo is here and bring him to see me."

"I received the order."/"Old slave received the order."

Li Mu and Eunuch Gao received the order. Li Shimin turned around and returned to the house. When Eunuch Gao turned around and was about to leave, he heard Li Shimin whispering orders: "Come Yuan Tiangang to see me, no matter where he is, until he finds it."

Eunuch Gao was stunned and felt sad. His Majesty was still angry. At this time, he thought of Yuan Tiangang... He had done something wrong and had nothing to say. Eunuch Gao still responded and sent his subordinates to contact Yuan Tiangang with all his strength.

...

The conversation was divided, Li Mu and Eunuch Gao were busy. After Li Shimin returned to the room, his face was still very gloomy. Seeing the imperial doctor finishing treatment for Concubine Yin, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked them to retreat. Only Li Shimin and Li You and his son were left in the room.

Li You's tears stopped. He held Yin Fei's hand and said dejectedly. Li Shimin patted his shoulder and signaled him to follow him. Li You hesitated for a moment, put Yin Guifei's hand into the bedding, and followed Li Shimin to the outer room.

"What do you think about this?"

Li Shimin asked bluntly, Li You was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Father, I don't think it has anything to do with the eldest brother."

"I didn't say it was related to him." Li Shimin's tone could not hear his likes and dislikes, and said, "He has at least two thousand Jinyiwei in Yangzhou, and Jisitang has no less than five hundred good players. If he wanted my life, I would never survive in Yangzhou. But this matter would not have anything to do with him. If he hadn't insisted on pushing the relocation of labor from the Turks, these Turks would not have taken the risk-"

"Father, you can't blame the elder brother. One thing is another. The elder brother is also for the country and country of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, he couldn't expect that this group of people would be so crazy."

Li Shimin looked at Li You and said, "You are talking for him."

"My son just talks about the matter." As he said that, Li You shed tears again and said, "My son just felt sorry for his mother. He suffered this disaster and asked the imperial physician. He said that even if his mother is well, she will have sequelae-"

"The Turks will pay the price." Li Shimin pursed his lips: "Son, it is your mother who was injured. I want to ask you, what should I do at this time?"

"This..." Li You was in his teenage years old and could not think so comprehensively, but when he heard Li Shimin's question, he had to force himself to calm down and look at this matter from a more comprehensive perspective. After thinking for a while, Li You said: "First of all, we should use this matter to intimidate the Turks. We should use both kindness and power to completely join the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I asked Li Xiaogong and Li Ji to attack each other. Turkic envoys came soon. In addition, they would not dare to shirk responsibility for the migration."

"And - and," Li You suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "There are also famous clans in Jiangnan. My father was assassinated in Jiangnan. You can do this..."

"That's right." Li Shimin interrupted Li You and said, "Everyone with a discerning eye knows this matter, it has nothing to do with the prominent clans in Jiangnan. If I had to involve them, it would be unkind. Remember, the king disdained this."

"Why did the father transfer troops from the six palaces and ask General Hou to bring the Third Camp Guards over? Why is this?"

"I don't blame them, but I can't surround them." Li Shimin sneered: "The troops are being transferred here to ask them to raise soldiers for me. In this situation, will they dare not agree?"

"Father is wise." Li You said hurriedly, but he still had doubts in his heart. Wasn't it a good harvest last year? The court should not be short of food. It is unlikely that it is just to raise soldiers, right?

Li Shimin did have another plan. He was actually trying to prevent Li Mu from sending troops.

Li Shimin and Li Mu walked to Mingzhou Port and keenly discovered a problem.

Although Mingzhou Port is on the land of the Tang Dynasty, it is not on the land of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the ships in the port leave the port, Mingzhou Port will be taken to the sea. In such a large port, thousands of ships, how many people, and how many resources? Not to mention, when Mingzhou Port is completely built, how many places will it affect Jiangnan?

Such a port cannot be controlled by Li Mu. Even if he has no intention of rebellion, it is difficult to protect his future. Therefore, Li Shimin sent troops over and stationed heavily in Jiangnan just to prevent it.

But these reasons are not worthy of being told by outsiders.

The injury of Concubine Yin provided Li Shimin with two perfect excuses. From the perspective of income, this injury is very worthwhile. The emperor is affectionate, but the emperor is also ruthless. Li You stuttered his lips for a moment, but in the end he still didn't speak.

"You'er." Li You was stunned for a moment when he saw that Li Shimin's eyes were not as cold as before, and he showed a little warmth.

"Father."

"I want to restore your clan, but you have to do something convincing. I have answered you what you ask me for."

Li You opened his mouth and said, "If the father is injured because his mother is injured... I don't want it."

"It's not just this reason." Li Shimin said seriously: "I owe your mother to you, and it has no direct relationship with me in governing the country. Linyi, Zhenla is an enclave. It is thousands of mountains and rivers away from the Tang Dynasty, so it is almost impossible to directly govern. I want to imitate the Han Dynasty's feudal division. As long as you have the ability, you can do it. I will grant Linyi, Zhenla land to you as your fief. Where can your descendants reproduce and live, and be loyal to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty for generations, can you do it?"

"Son-member..." Li You didn't dare to agree, but this opportunity was in front of him, and he couldn't say no. After struggling for a while, Li You said, "Son-member is afraid that he will lose his father's heavy trust."

"Just do your best," Li Shimin sighed and said, "I will take this opportunity to appoint you as the Jiaozhou Maritime Envoy. Within two years, I will see your contribution to expanding territory and restoring your throne with this contribution. If you can't do it for two years, today, let's pretend that we father and son have never said these words. You only have two years. If you can't do it, then return to Chang'an. I will ask Li Mu to arrange it to protect you as a wealthy man for a lifetime, but I will not care about your children and descendants."

Li You knelt on the ground and cried, "My son thanked his father for his kindness."

"Go and guard your mother." Li Shimin signaled Li You to go out, but he became stunned. In his deep eyes, there seemed to be countless distractions, which could not be cut and still be confused.

...

Ashina's association rate was also very fateful. There were more than 60 people who were assassinated from inside and outside. Under the pursuit of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, the dead and wounded and injured, and the only ones were caught. He escaped from the encirclement.

He didn't know how he escaped along the way. In order not to recognize him, Asina joined forces to imitate Cao Cao, changed his face along the way, cut his beard and shave his hair. When he arrived by the river, he was no longer like a beggar. But because of this, he was not recognized.

But at this time, he was penniless and hungry. His weapons had been thrown away, and his body was highly overdrawn, so he couldn't even lift his arms.

He curled up in the cabin of a boat, trying to get to the other side, and he had a way out when he arrived at the other side. But he didn't know that at this time, the ships were suspended one after another, and the ship he was in was the one where the owner stopped here to spend the winter.

Late at night, the boat had not moved yet, and Asina was so hungry that she crawled out of the cabin, looking for a stutter.

"Here... it's easy to find!" A voice came, and Asina's association was like a frightened bird, and she fled to the cabin with her hands and feet. He remembered this voice, and he knew who this person was!
