The Heavens of Film and Television: From Serving as a Soldier

Chapter 180 Finale (8)

It was already late at night, and Yubei Lane was dark. The wind gently lifted the fallen leaves on the ground and floated in the air. A wind lantern was lit in the main room of the large Zhuqi courtyard. Prince Li Xian was sitting at the table. His face was pale and his hands were shaking constantly. The man in purple robe beside him reached out and moved the mask on his face, and said coldly: "Do you remember everything you need to say?"

The prince took a deep breath and nodded. The man in purple robe said: "Okay, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. The emperor will not know anything."

The prince swallowed. The man in purple robe continued: "But if you say something wrong, then don't blame me for being unkind. Do you understand?"

The prince said: "Understood." The purple-robed man nodded.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the man in purple robe said: "Here he comes."

The door opened, and several men in black walked in with Li Gui. When Li Gui saw the prince, he excitedly shouted: "Your Highness!"

The prince stood up tremblingly: "Li Gui, you have been wronged."

Tears rolled down Li Gui's cheeks: "Your Highness, I was too willful. I didn't expect that Liu Chali would betray me!"

The prince sighed and nodded.

Li Gui raised his head and said to the purple-robed man: "You really invited the prince here."

The man in purple robe said: "What I said must count. I hope you can also cherish your words like gold."

Li Gui nodded: "I will."

The man in purple robe said: "That's good."

The prince said to the purple-robed man: "You can wait outside the door."

The man in purple robe said "yes", waved to the man in black in the room, and everyone walked out quickly and closed the door.

The prince slowly sat on the chair and said, "Where is that copy of "The Blue Shirt" now?"

Li Gui said: "I gave the book to Liu Chuanlin, Liu Chali's son."

Although he said this, Li Gui dipped his finger in tea and wrote on the table: Zhang Yang. Partition walls have ears.

The prince also understood and cooperated: "Liu Chuanlin?"

Li Gui smiled and said: "Your Highness, Liu Chuanlin is different from Liu Chali. He is a very upright man. After I arrived in Huzhou, I had a very good relationship with Mr. Liu. One day, he came to see me late at night and asked me to run away quickly. It was said that the internal guards came to Liujiazhuang and wanted to arrest me. Seeing that the situation was not good, I gave the book to Liu Chuanlin and hid it under the sixth gray brick under the table in his room..."

The prince's lips trembled and tears filled his eyes.

Li Gui was startled: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The prince said: "Li Gui, don't blame me."

Li Gui was stunned, he didn't know what was going on.

Suddenly the man in purple robe broke into the door and said with a proud smile: "Li Gui, you finally revealed the whereabouts of the book!"

Li Gui looked at the purple-robed man and then at the prince, and for a moment he didn't understand what was going on.

The prince said: "I fell into their hands. He forced me to do this!"

Li Gui screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Li Gui didn't expect that the prince would also fall into their hands. He only thought that he had harmed Zhang Yang and that the prince was really like Zhang Yang said, mud can't hold up a wall.

But for some reason, the prince didn't say anything about Zhang Yang.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the door, and the prince was startled and looked out. The man in purple robe smiled and said: "Here we come." As he said that, he blew out the wind lantern with a "plop" sound, and the room suddenly became dark.

The imperial guards, led by Di Renjie and Zeng Tai, rushed into the courtyard. The guards were like tigers running down the mountain. In an instant, the heads of more than a dozen guards in black were missing. Di Renjie shouted loudly: "Come into the room and rescue the prince!" The guards held torches high, kicked open the door, and swarmed in. Di Renjie and Zeng Tai rushed in quickly.

In the house, the prince sat at the table, trembling, and Li Gui stood beside him. The two of them looked at the door in horror. Di Renjie shouted: "Your Highness!"

The prince stood up suddenly and shouted: "Mr. Ge! You are here!"

Having said that, he rushed over and Di Renjie quickly stretched out his hand to support him: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

The prince nodded repeatedly: "I'm fine. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is the second son of the King of Yue, Li Gui."

Di Renjie quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness."

Li Gui breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "My lord, you came at the right time!"

Suddenly, Zeng Tai on the side said: "Sir, that's not right!"

Di Renjie was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Zeng Tai said: "Look, why are all the people in this room dead? Who killed them?"

Di Renjie was startled and looked around. Sure enough, there were several corpses of men in black lying in the room. The man in purple robe was lying quietly in the corner, wearing a mask that looked like a smile but not a smile. This mask is exactly the same as the one Di Renjie found in the Cuipingshan courtyard.

Di Renjie asked the prince: "Your Highness, is the person who kidnapped you the man in purple robe?"

The prince nodded: "That's him!"

Di Renjie asked: "Who killed the people in this room?" The prince shook his head blankly: "When there was chaos outside, the lights in the room went out. I only heard a few screams, and then there was no sound. After that, you rush in with others."

Di Renjie slowly walked up to the purple-robed man, stretched out his hand, and took off his mask. Zeng Tai exclaimed: "Liu Chali!"

Liu Chali's body lay quietly on the ground, his eyes wide open. Di Renjie looked at the opposite wall, then at the ground, then checked the knife wound on his chest, raised his head and said, "He died somewhere else."

Zeng Tai was stunned: "What?"

Di Renjie said: "The blood on the wound has solidified, and there is no blood on the ground. Your Highness, can you really see clearly that he is the one who kidnapped you?"

The prince said: "He has always been wearing a mask. I have never seen his true face."

Di Renjie took a breath of cold air. At this time, Li Gui walked over quickly, looked at it and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Di Renjie said: "What's impossible?"

Li Gui said: "Liu Chali died the night before yesterday!"

Di Renjie asked: "How do you know?"

Li Gui said: "I saw him lying in a pool of blood with my own eyes, with a steel knife stuck in his chest."

Di Renjie was confused. Suddenly he screamed: "No! We have fallen into a trap! Zeng Tai, protect His Royal Highness and leave immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, a shout came from outside the courtyard. Di Renjie was startled and looked back. A guard rushed in and reported: "Sir, the emperor has arrived!"

Everyone in the room was stunned. Di Renjie stammered: "W-what?"

The guard said: "The Yulin Guards have surrounded the small courtyard, and the emperor is outside the courtyard!"

Di Renjie's lips trembled as he said, "Your Majesty? Why, why are you here?"

A cry came from outside the courtyard: "Listen to the rebels in the courtyard, the Holy Lord is here, come out and surrender as soon as possible! Otherwise, the Yulin Guards will attack the courtyard and they will be destroyed!"

The prince screamed and fell into his chair, trembling all over: "It's over, it's over! It's over!"

Di Renjie stumbled and sighed: "What a vicious plan! Your Highness, we have been fooled!"

Zeng Tai asked anxiously: "Sir, what should we do now?"

Di Renjie swallowed: "If the emperor sees Li Gui and the prince together, then His Highness the prince will not be able to defend himself."

Li Gui said loudly: "Master Di, you don't have to say it. The disaster is caused by me. I bear the responsibility alone. I must protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

With tears in his eyes, Di Renjie nodded: "I promise you, I will do my best!"

Li Gui leaned over and picked up a steel knife. The prince exclaimed: "Li Gui, what do you want to do?"

Li Gui raised his head and laughed, looking at death as if he were home: "How joyful it is to live, and how painful it is to die. Your Highness, I'm going!" After that, he cut himself with a horizontal knife. The prince burst into tears.

Di Renjie knelt on his knees and shouted loudly: "Send it to His Highness Li Gui!"

Everyone in the room fell to their knees.

Seeing Li Gui lying in a pool of blood, Di Renjie quickly saw a sign in Li Gui's hand that read Zhang Yang. He had no time to think about it and could only hide it in his sleeve.

……

Youzhou.

Hu Jinghui was lying in ambush in the valley. Seeing the Turkic army stationed thirty miles away, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Zhang Yang sneaked out of the city and came to Hu Jinghui. He looked at General Tiger and said with a smile, "Why, General Tiger is a little nervous after not going to the battlefield for a long time?"

"Sir, please stop laughing at me."

"Don't be nervous, I'll tell you the truth. Gili Khan poisoned their horses."

"what happened?"

"What else could be going on? He doesn't feel bad about these 30,000 horses, but he will feel so bad once we get tens of thousands more horses. So we can take away the people and kill them, but the horses can only die locally. It’s not very toxic and harmless to humans.”

Hu Jinghui said viciously: "This is damn lucky."

"Don't worry, General Tiger. Sooner or later, we will ride on the king's court and be a wolf like a champion. At that time, we will ask Ji Li Khan to dance for us and make it lively."

"it is good."

Zhang Yang said solemnly: "General Tiger, remember, your mission is to ambush. You must not be reluctant to fight, and you must not attack at will. After repelling three attacks, you will withdraw and return to Xiaolianzi Mountain to rest."

"Yes."

"Don't be nervous. I have a perfect plan. I guarantee that these bastards won't be able to go back to the Turks."
