Datang: Valkyrie chat group

Li Tai and the leader of the guards turned their heads abruptly, and looked towards the nearby woods.

I saw, in the dim woods, a few black shadows flashed faintly.

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness."

At this moment, Xue Gang shouted loudly.

This place is located in the outskirts, and people often pass by during the day, so there are no large wild animals in the woods here.

The sky was dark, Xue Gang didn't see the shadow clearly, but he was sure that it must be the shadow of a person.

There aren't any villages around here, and at this hour, it's even more impossible for someone to be active here.

But now, in this remote place, these people appear, sneaky, obviously, with ulterior motives.

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air suddenly sounded.

"Be careful."

Xue Gang shouted loudly again.

It happened so suddenly, before his words fell, several arrows shot out, piercing the bodies of several guards.

Xue Gang quickly waved the long knife in his hand, and chopped off a few sharp arrows that were aimed at the carriage.

Looking at the corpse lying in a pool of blood in front of him, Xue Gang looked solemn.

This time Li Tai went to Taoshan, he didn't want to make a big fuss, he just brought more than 20 guards, but in the round of volley just now, five people were shot and fell down.

If there are a few more rounds, it may be impossible to leave safely.

"Who are you waiting for? This is His Highness the King of Wei. To kill the prince is to kill the nine clans, so leave quickly."

Xue Gang shouted loudly.

At this moment, he can only hope that the enemy in front of him is a bandit.

However, what greeted him were several sharp arrows piercing through the air.

However, this time the guards were already on guard, only one fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and one was hit by an arrow in his shoulder blade, and the rest swung their knives to slash the arrows flying.

"Your Highness, the visitor is not kind!"

The scribe in white also said with a solemn expression.

Li Tai's face was gloomy, but...he didn't panic because of the situation in front of him.

Datang Shanwu, no matter...

Whether it's Li Chengqian or Li Tai, all the princes have learned martial arts, and they usually go to the barracks often.

I'm used to seeing bloodshed, such scenes will naturally not lose their color.

At this moment, Li Tai's mind was running rapidly.

This inexplicable enemy knows that his identity has not receded, it seems that he is not an ordinary bandit.

This road is the only way from Taoshan to Chang'an. It seems that these people came here specifically for themselves.

Who did I offend, so that the other party dared to murder the prince.

The figure of Li Chengqian appeared in Li Tai's mind.

Except... this big brother, he never... can think of anyone else coming.

thump.

thump.

thump.

The sound of galloping horses.

More than 30 men in black wearing heavy leather armor and holding weapons came running wildly.

Seeing the men in black rushing towards him, Li Tai's face turned ashen.

He never imagined that this...soft-tempered elder brother would have such a vicious method to assassinate himself.

Chapter 869: Survival from Desperate Situation

Since ancient times, the road to succession has been extremely dangerous, and it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other and father and son to kill each other.

But in this prosperous Tang Dynasty, something is different.

Perhaps because of the Xuanwu Gate incident, Tang Wang did not want such a thing to happen to his heirs again.

The struggle between Li Chengqian and Li Tai was only going on in secret, and they didn't dare to be too blatant.

Although it is said that the small actions of the two cannot be hidden from Tang Wang's eyes, but as long as it is not too much, Tang Wang will not interfere too much.

Li Er, king of Tang Dynasty, was a very talented and bold monarch.

The Li Tang Dynasty rose from the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and after more than 20 years of development, it has reached its current prosperity.

But every founding king wants his empire to be passed on forever, so he must have a capable heir to take over.

As the eldest son, Li Chengqian is the best candidate for the crown prince in Tang Wang's heart.

But in order to make future successors more outstanding, this kind of competition is going on with the acquiescence of Tang Wang, and sometimes even Li Er will secretly contribute to the flames.

However, what he didn't expect was that this kind of acquiescence made Li Chengqian panic, and finally raised the butcher knife in his hand.

More than 30 men in black wearing leather armor behind them killed Li Tai and his party amidst the galloping horses.

There are no words.

The chill atmosphere permeates this country road in the outskirts.

Fighting is instant.

Xue Gang stood in front of the carriage, waving the long knife in his hand, slashing and killing any man in black who approached the carriage.

These men in black are obviously not ordinary people, each of them is sharp and straightforward in their actions, faintly looking like they are pressing down on the guards.

time flow.

With the carriage as the center, corpses lay in a pool of blood.

Xue Gang's body was covered in blood, and the right arm holding the long knife was trembling faintly.

Beside him, there was no longer a standing figure.

On the other hand, there are more than ten people on the side of the man in black.

puff.

Xue Gang cut down a man in black who was approaching again with his long knife, and sent him to hell.

At this moment, a sharp arrow pierced through the air, passed through the armor on his body, and pierced deeply into the flesh.

Xue Gang let out a muffled groan, stepped back half a step, and half leaned against the carriage.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you well."

While speaking, he slapped the horse's back horizontally with the long knife in his hand, then let out a loud shout, and rushed towards the men in black in front of him.

In the past, the future was unknown, and he didn't dare to take such risks.

But at this moment, I can no longer... care about other things.

Under the severe pain, the war horse neighed...... and ran forward with the carriage.

After a short time, the dust settled.

"Chase."

The cold voice of the leading man in black sounded.

Several black figures rushed towards the carriage.

It was getting darker and darker.

The smell of blood permeated the world.

At a certain moment, several people were here, looking at the corpse on the ground and frowning.

"Go and report to the lord."

The leader said to a figure beside him, and finally led the rest of them to chase forward.

"My lord, the king of Wei has been attacked."

Tang Feng had just left Taoshan and was heading towards Chang'an when he received a message from the people below.

Hearing this, Tang Feng's complexion suddenly changed.

"where and how"

Tang Feng asked.

"It's right in front, all the guards around are dead, and King Wei is nowhere to be seen."

The man responded quickly.

After the words fell, Tang Feng mobilized his horse and rushed forward quickly.

Like Li Tai, the first thing Tang Feng thought of was... Li Chengqian.

However, the timing Li Chengqian chose was just right.

There are not many people who know about the news that Li Tai came to Taoshan. No matter what the facts are, it is impossible for him to stay out of the incident.

Although he has enough confidence to clear his innocence with Tang Wang, but he really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

the other side.

Li Tai's carriage galloped towards Chang'an.

At this moment, the high spirits from when he came here no longer...disappeared, and his whole face was full of panic.

In the mighty team, only he and the white-clothed scholar were left.

From behind, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded.

"Your Highness, I will hold him back, Your Highness will go first."

Inside the carriage, the scribe in white poked his head out and said firmly.

"Sir, if you don't know martial arts, how can you hold them back? If it is fate today, this king recognizes it. If you can escape and ascend to heaven, you will definitely take revenge."

Li Tai said in a deep voice.

While speaking, there was a cold chill in his eyes.

not long time.

The men in black from behind had all chased up and surrounded the carriage in the center.

"Who are you, if you can let me go today, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Li Tai looked at the men in black around him, and said loudly.

Ants still steal their lives, let alone humans.

Li Tai knew that these people were ordered to intercept and kill him, and they would definitely not let him live, but he still couldn't help saying it.

"Go!"

The leading man in black was unmoved, and said coldly.

All the men in black moved one after another, waved their weapons and greeted Li Tai in the middle.

Li Tai took advantage of the situation and grabbed the long knife that Xue Gang put on the carriage before, and waved it casually, laying it horizontally in front of him, blocking the oncoming weapons.

蹬.

蹬.

Under the collision of huge force, Li Tai stepped back several steps in a row.

As a child of the royal family, he has received military training since he was a child. He can't say that he can stand at the top with his military strength, but he can also be compared with the best in the army.

But I didn't expect that it would be difficult for the opponent to take a single blow.
