Chapter 2499 Li Shimin''s Death (End)


    Chapter 2496: Li Shimin''s death (end)


    "General Li Cunxiao, General Yuwen Chengdu."


    At this moment, Ban Chao and Dong Xiaowan also rushed over with their men.


    The battle just now was too intense. Both of them were almost affected by watching the battle on a high building 300 meters away.


    Suddenly a sword energy flew over, and both of them realized that the whole building was split in half, so no one was injured, so he simply ran to a high building three miles away and watched the battle with a thousand-mile mirror.


    Now, as soon as the battle ended, they came to investigate the situation quickly.


    "General Li Cunxiao has long been famous, and he is indeed well-known."


    As soon as we met, Ban Chao praised him.


    He used to think that although Li Cunxiao was strong, he was still within the scope of human beings, and the battle he had just witnessed completely changed his mind.


    After burning internal strength, Li Chunfeng was no longer as strong as a human being, but he was still killed by Li Cunxiao, Yu and Wen Chengdu.


    With them here, no army is needed? They are an invincible iron army.


    Ban Chao''s attention was all on Li Cunxiao, while Dong Xiaowan was attracted by the elegant and luxurious Yunxiao.


    This woman is so beautiful that it makes Dong Xiaowan feel ashamed of herself.


    Dong Xiaowan was thinking about how to say hello, but Yunxiao first said, "You are Dong Xiaowan, the daughter of Dong Zhuo. I heard from Your Majesty that you mentioned."


    Dong Xiaowan was stunned when she heard this. Obviously, she didn''t expect that the beauty around Ying Hao could still think of her. At the same time, she instinctively realized that the relationship between Yunxiao and Ying Hao was not ordinary.


    Dong Xiaowan gritted her teeth and asked, "What did he say to me?"


    "Your Majesty, he said you are a cute silly woman, but you are also a strange woman who is very knowledgeable about justice. When you see you today, you are indeed well-known." Yun Xiao said softly.


    After hearing this, Dong Xiaowan''s heart couldn''t stop beating, but she still suppressed the throbbing and the longing deep in her heart.


    As long as the person still remembers her, it is enough, nothing else matters.


    On the other hand, Li Cunxiao interrupted Ban Chao''s praise and asked while using his energy to heal his wounds, "Where is Li Shimin?"


    Compared with others, what Li Cunxiao cared more about was Li Shimin''s life or death.


    Now that the Tang Duke’s mansion has been razed, Li Shimin is still not found, it can be seen that Li Shimin must have left before he arrived.


    So where can he go?


    Ban Chao smiled and said, "Please rest assured, General. Li Shimin has been trapped to death in Xuanwu Gate. At this time, he must have been killed by Li Maozhen." Ban Chao said with a smile.


    "Cha? Just Li Maozhen, can you kill Li Shimin? Sir, you''re not teasing me."


    Li Cunxiao looked disbelief. It was not that he didn''t believe in Ban Chao, nor that he looked down on Li Maozhen, but that he simply felt that Li Shimin could not have died so simply.


    The reason is that Li Shimin''s life is too tough. Even if he was killed three times without success, Li Cunxiao did not think that Li Shimin could be trapped to death by just Xuanwu Gate.


    Ban Chao was stunned and then explained with a smile: "General, Li Shimin has indeed been trapped in Xuanwu Gate. In that case, there is no life left, and it is impossible to escape..."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huatian brought people to him and said, "Sir, Li Shimin is at Ximen, and his subordinates failed to assassinate."


    Ban Chao: “…”


    Ban Chao said just now that Li Shimin could not escape from Xuanwu Gate, but at the west gate, he escaped Yu Huatian''s assassination. The slap in the face was too fast, which made Ban Chao feel aching on his face.


    At this time, Ban Chao was a little confused. The information he received was that Li Shimin was trapped in Xuanwu Gate and was in danger. Why did he suddenly run to Ximen?


    Even if Li Shimin escaped from Xuanwu Gate by chance, why didn’t Li Maozhen notify him?


    And you, Yu Huatian, was assassinating at Ximenxing, why didn’t you tell me, the envoy?


    I wouldn’t help but take him as the head of the company seriously.


    Ban Chao was very angry at this time and felt that Yu Huatian and Li Maozhen were too tricky, but in fact they were also having trouble.


    On Li Maozhen''s side, since Li Shimin escaped, there have been constant wars at Xuanwu Gate. Several rounds of Tang army have been repelled, but they are still fighting fiercely. He has not even had time to take a breath, so he has no time to notify Ban Chao.


    As for Yu Huatian, he had no time to notify him. After all, he realized that Li Shimin might have escaped from Xuanwu Gate after receiving the convening order from Li Shimin.


    Yu Huatian was not sure whether Li Shimin was still in Xuanwu Gate. After seeing Li Shimin and confirming that he escaped, he had no time to rule, so he could only choose to assassinate and fight, but unfortunately he failed in the end.


    After understanding the causes and consequences, Ban Chao also realized that intelligence lag was inevitable. After all, after the civil strife in Chang''an started, the situation changed too quickly, and it was impossible for all situations to be covered.


    "Since Li Shimin has escaped from Xuanwu Gate long ago, Li Maozhen has been delaying in notifying him in the future, indicating that something must have happened on Xuanwu Gate." Ban Chao analyzed.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Li Maozhen''s messenger came.


    When learning about everything that happened in Xuanwu Gate and being besieged by the Tang army and being in danger, Hua Xiong hurriedly said:


    "Mr. Ban, Xuanwu Gate cannot be lost. All the wealth seized by Li Tang after he destroyed the aristocratic families in the city will be sealed in the palace. Once it is destroyed by the Tang army, it will be a huge loss."


    Ban Chao nodded. He naturally knew what the wealth of 80% of the Guanxi family meant, so he said decisively: "General Hua Xiong, you can quickly bring one thousand iron cavalry and two thousand infantrymen to support Xuanwu Gate."


    "No."


    "As for Li Shimin from Ximen..."


    "Let me leave it to me."


    After saying that, Li Cunxiao stopped exercising his skills and stood up and said to Ban Chao: "Although Li Yuanba was injured by this general, Gao Siji is still there, and this person''s strength is not simple."


    "Then I''ll bother the general."


    "Um."


    Li Cunxiao nodded, then said to Bixiao and Qiongxiao: "Two senior sisters, there are two very strong auras on the Xuanwu Sect. Hua Xiong alone may not be able to win. Please help the senior sisters."


    After Bixiao and Qiongxiao looked at each other, they said in unison: "We''ll go here."


    After watching the two wives leave, Li Cunxiao said to Yunxiao: "I''ll bother my senior sister to accompany me to chase Li Shimin."


    After Li Cunxiao''s injury just now, although he had stabilized his injuries, such a serious injury would definitely affect his condition.


    He didn''t know if there was anyone around Li Shimin to protect him. In case of precaution, it would be better to let Yunxiao, the grand master, follow him.


    Yunxiao naturally would not refuse Li Cunxiao''s request. After all, she came to help Li Cunxiao. She had been paddling water for so long before, but now Li Cunxiao is injured, so she naturally feels embarrassed to paddle.


    As soon as Li Cunxiao stabilized his injuries, he took Yunxiao, two thousand iron cavalry, and two thousand infantrymen to attack Ximen with great momentum.


    The Tang army of Ximen was obviously prepared and had set up a good formation and was ready to take action.


    But what is the use of Li Cunxiao they faced this time?


    The Tang army, who stayed at the West Gate, defeated Zhang Shigui''s rebels not long ago with a destructive force.


    Now facing the surging Qin army, even though they had made sufficient preparations, they still couldn''t hold on for long and were directly defeated by Li Cunxiao with one blow.


    Li Cunxiao defeated the Tang army at the West Gate, but did not see Li Shimin or Li Yuanba and other generals. He immediately realized that Li Shimin might have abandoned the city and fled, so he decisively headed straight for the city gate.


    After a fight, Li Cunxiao successfully captured the West Gate, then opened the city gate and chased after him with only a thousand iron cavalry.


    Just as Li Cunxiao chased out, the east gate of Chang''an suddenly opened wide, and a large number of Tang army defeated troops escaped from the east gate, including Yuwen Tai and Zhao She who were disguised.


    The reason why Zhao She ran away was naturally because he could no longer stay in Chang''an, and even Li Shimin had already escaped. Wouldn''t they still stayed to mean that they were seeking death?


    In addition, the main reason is that Yin Kaishan''s troops have also been defeated.


    He was met by Yin Kaishan, who met Li Jue, but failed to defeat him after a fierce battle. Instead, he attracted Ban Chao''s army.


    Ban Chao and Li Jue joined forces and defeated Yin Kaishan''s troops in one fell swoop under the attack on both sides.


    The defeated Yin Kaishan had to take the remaining troops back to the east gate, while Li Jue chased after him with all his might. It was obviously not easy to escape.


    At the same time, Li Cunxiao, who chased out of the West Gate, soon discovered Li Shimin''s traces.


    It turned out that Li Shimin, who had abandoned the city and fled, was chased by a thousand iron cavalry left by Yuwen Chengdu as soon as he left Chang''an.


    This is also the main reason why Zhao She was not blocked after she escaped. The thousand iron cavalry left by Yuwen Chengdu went to chase Li Shimin, so naturally they didn''t care about the little pawns like Zhao She.


    There were only 300 cavalrymen who escaped from Chang''an with Li Shimin. Although there were many masters, the strongest Li Yuanba was seriously injured. In addition, the main purpose was to escape rather than fight. If they delayed for too long, they would probably be chased by Li Cunxiao, so naturally they did not want to get too entangled with these thousand cavalrymen.


    Li Shimin did not want to fight, but the Qin cavalry was unwilling to let them go, which forced Li Shimin to fight.


    The commander of the Qin army was Pang Wanchun, a famous general in Water Margin. He was nicknamed "Xiao Yang Youji". In Water Margin, he shot seven generals Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Li Zhong, Xue Yong and Ou Peng, among the 100-eight generals in Liangshan.


    Seeing that there was Li Shimin among the fugitives from Ximen, Pang Wanchun dared not let him leave, but he also knew that Li Shimin had many masters and he might not be able to win by just his thousand cavalry. So he adopted guerrilla strategies and did not fight against Li Shimin head-on. He used bows and arrows to continuously consume Li Shimin, and dragged him to Yuwen Chengdu to catch up with him as much as possible.


    Li Shimin was disturbed by Pang Wanchun and soon lost a hundred cavalry, including twenty of which Pang Wanchun shot to death.


    Pang Wanchun was too close to him, and Li Shimin couldn''t get rid of it, so he had to choose to go to war with him. Pang Wanchun didn''t expect Li Shimin to be so tough. After he realized that he had no time to retreat, he could only fight him head-on.


    Two hundred Tang cavalry with a low morale against one thousand Qin cavalry with a rainbow. Logically speaking, the Qin army should win firmly, but the lineup of generals on both sides realized that it was too big.


    Although the Qin army had thousands of cavalry and its strength was more than three times that of the Tang army, the main general was just a first-class and junior Pang Wanchun.


    Although the Tang army had only 300 cavalry, the commander was Li Shimin 100 commanders, and there were many masters such as Gao Siji, Xiao Sheng and others.


    There are too many masters in the Tang army, and even if Li Yuanba does not go to fight, he is still enough to defeat the Qin army head-on.


    Shortly after the war started, Pang Wanchun was shot and killed by Gao Siji.


    The commander died in battle, and the morale of the Qin army was shrunk. The deputy general took over the heavy responsibility and continued to command the army to fight, but was killed by Li Shimin soon after.


    Even though the main general and deputy generals died together, the Qin army still did not collapse. The army''s Sima and the five military mausoleums commanded the army to continue fighting.


    But soon after the Sima of the army and the five major military marquis died one after another, the highest commander of the thousand Qin army became the garrison commander.


    The level of the garrison commander was too low to control the entire army. Because all the commanders died in battle, the morale of the Qin army was already depressed and was defeated.


    In the end, four hundred of these thousand iron cavalry were killed in battle, and all the senior officials, including the main general Pang Wanchun, were killed in battle. However, their sacrifice also bought time for Li Cunxiao.


    Li Cunxiaocai chased Chang''an less than ten miles away, and encountered the defeated defeated army, and learned from the defeated army that Li Shimin''s whereabouts.


    After learning that 400 thousand cavalry were killed in battle and the senior management was killed and injured, Li Cunxiao knew that the cavalry was destroyed and that it would never be restored without repairing it for one or two years.


    Regardless of Li Cunxiao, they did not blame them, after all, they had done their best.


    "Don''t worry, I will definitely avenge General Pang." Li Cunxiao said in a deep voice.


    The defeated soldiers burst into tears when they heard this.


    It would be fine if one thousand can’t beat two hundred, but all the senior officials were killed in battle. They were destined to be a shame to the Qin army.


    Li Cunxiao left a hundred people to gather the defeated army, and then continued to pursue Yunxiao and the rest, and finally caught up with Li Shimin in the west of Ziwu Valley.


    "Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, you can really run away."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cunxiao was stunned because there was only Li Shimin among the hundreds of cavalry teams, and there was no Li Yuanba and Gao Siji.


    Li Shimin used himself as bait to win a glimmer of life for Li Yuanba.


    As soon as he thought of this, a strange look flashed in Li Cunxiao''s eyes. Obviously, he did not expect that a selfish person like Li Shimin would have the younger brother Li Yuanba of Wei''s second-lu to do this.


    "Li Cunxiao, it''s really you who chased me. Forget it, dying at your hands will not be considered as insulting me, Li Shimin."


    Li Shimin smiled bitterly.


    Youdao is either one or two or three, and he has escaped three times under Li Cunxiao. This time he is afraid that he will be doomed no matter what.


    Li Cunxiao directly chose to take action, without any intention of talking nonsense to Li Shimin.


    The first three times have learned enough lessons, and he doesn''t want to let Li Shimin be rescued again because of nonsense.


    "Li Shimin, no one can save you this time."


    [Dingdong, Li Shimin''s skill "Tianyou" is activated for the third time...]


    "Lord, Yuan Tiangang is here."


    Yuan Tiangang led his men to attack the Ziwu Valley, but was blocked by Gai Nie and Weizhuang who were ambushing around him.


    After Li Keyong escaped from Ziwu Valley last time, how could Li Jing not do anything about it? So an ambush was set up in Ziwu Valley early.


    Gai Nie Weizhuang, two half-step masters, directly fought Yuan Tiangang.


    The Taoist leader Zhuangzi, who arrived with Yuan Tiangang, decisively chose to take action when he saw this situation. After all, if Li Shimin died, Master Taiqing Taoist might really go down the mountain, and the result would be unpredictable.


    Since Zhuang Zhou decided to save Li Shimin, he naturally would not come alone. Four great masters, Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Lv Chunyang, were also here with him.


    Among the five great masters, Zhuang Zhou and Lu Chunyang came from the Taiqing School, and Cihang came from the Yuqing School. As for Manjushri and Samantabhadra, they had rebelled against the Tao and entered the Buddha, so they are now Buddhists.


    As soon as Zhuang Zhou moved, four great masters descended from the sky, namely the three Holy Mothers of Jin Ling, Turtle Spirit, Wudang, and Dugu Qiubai, the great master of swordsmanship.


    They have been in Guanzhong all the time, but they have not shown up.


    The four people blocked Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Lv Chunyang respectively. As for Zhuang Zhou, they were naturally blocked by Yunxiao.


    Yunxiao pulled out the Tai A sword in his hand and said coldly: "Uncle Xiaoyaozi, Yunxiao doesn''t want to fight with you. Let''s go and have a tea. Is it good to talk about the past?"


    Zhuang Zhou glanced at the Tai A in Yunxiao''s hand and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Yunxiao, Li Shimin cannot die, do you know the consequences of his death?"


    Yunxiao said coldly: "I don''t know, nor do I want to know. I only know that Li Shimin is not only crazy, but also ungrateful. Even Jiang Shang, who has been helping him, was killed by him. As long as he is still alive, I will never have peace in Taoism."


    "What? Junior Brother Jiang was killed by Li Shimin?"


    Zhuang Zhou subconsciously exclaimed.


    After hearing this, Cihang, Manjushri and Samantabhadra had no intention of fighting again, so they stopped to verify together, leaving only Lu Chunyang and Dugu Qiubai still fighting.


    All three of them were from Yuqing Sect and had a good personal relationship with Jiang Shang, knowing everything Jiang Shang did to save Li Shimin.


    If Li Shimin even killed Jiang Shang, the benefactor, then they would save Li Shimin, wouldn’t they help the evildoer?


    As soon as he thought of this, Cihang could no longer hold back and asked to Yunxiao, "Junior Sister Yunxiao, is this true? Are you lying to us, aren''t you?"


    "It''s not true or false, it''s not true." Yun Xiao said lightly.


    Everyone knew that Yunxiao was not the kind of person who could lie to them with lies, so they looked at Li Shimin who was being trampled by Li Cunxiao.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Cunxiao had already led people to kill more than a hundred guards around Li Shimin, and knocked Li Shimin off with just one move.


    Li Cunxiao was about to rush forward to kill, but Yunxiao shouted to him: "Junior brother, let''s do it slowly and let Li Shimin himself tell me if Junior Brother Jiang Shang was killed."


    Li Cunxiao heard this and was extremely reluctant, but stopped. The spear hung around Li Shimin''s neck and said to Yunxiao in confusion: "Senior sister, how could Li Shimin tell the truth? He must have shirked the blame in every way..."


    Before Li Cunxiao finished speaking, Li Shimin smiled disdainfully, and then stood up and ran into Li Cunxiao''s spear.


    Puchi…


    "you…"


    Li Cunxiao was shocked when he saw this. He never expected that Li Shimin would take the initiative to seek death. Before he could react, the spear had already penetrated his chest.


    Li Cunxiao subconsciously let go of the spear in his hand, but Li Shimin straightened his body and stood up tremblingly.


    He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a lot of blood flowed out, making him unable to speak.


    Li Shimin endured the pain and wiped off the blood stains on the corner of his mouth with trembling, saying hard: "Li Cunxiao, Ying Hao can''t kill me, so do you. Only I can kill me.


    Also, I, Li Shimin, dare to act and take responsibility. I killed Jiang Shang, and I don’t regret it. ”


    When Cihang, Manjushri and Samantabhadra heard this, they were furious and cursed: "Beast, what have you done? Junior Brother Jiang is going to help you..."


    "The Li family is full of heroes, why did you give birth to such an ungrateful thing..."


    …


    Li Shimin disdained to make any excuses for himself, and looked at Li Cunxiao and said word by word: "Don''t worry, give me a word for Xiuning."


    Li Cunxiao sighed lightly: "For your sake, you can tell me, I will definitely bring it."


    "I, Li Shimin, I''m sorry for many people in this life, but the one who I''m most sorry is this sister. Tell me, Xiuning, second brother, please live with her."


    After Li Shimin finished speaking, there was no movement again.


    Seeing this, Li Cunxiao went up to investigate Li Shimin''s breath, but found that he had no breath and his heartbeat stopped.


    This shows that Li Shimin is dead, but even if he dies, he will die standing still. He would rather die than fall down and bow to Ying Hao.
