Chapter 617 Revenge for His Highness Chongjiu
I didn't understand, but Mu Gen still called back the silly heroes and asked, "Is there any place to hide horses nearby? Elephant caves or small hills? Well, there are many forests here, but I have never been to dig them."
The heroes thought to themselves: "Don't say that you have never crawled into the forest here, nor have we ever crawled into the forest. What's the point of burying into the forest? Unless you are hunting in the forest, but who has the heart to hunt these days!"
They thought hard and shook their heads and said, "The trees here are not big. They are close to the city and have high land prices. If anyone has a piece of land, they are all used to grow grain, so there are not many trees and even smaller. However, there is one mountain covered with gravel, and the mountain is full of gravel. It is impossible to plant soil, and it is not very good to grow grass. It is bare. But I don't know if there are caves on the mountain."
Yang Ze asked: "Don't you usually go to that gravel mountain bag? Climbing up to see the scenery outside Chang'an City should be very good, and it's a mountain bag. Even if it's not too high, it won't take much effort to get up, right?"
The heroes shook their heads again, and the leading hero said, "There was a murder case there. A few years ago, I heard that there were scholars from other places who wanted to go up the mountain to see the scenery, and wanted to recite poems and write a couple of people. But somehow, they all died on the mountain. There was a lot of evil spirits, so everyone didn't go."
After hearing this, Yang Ze said, "Okay, that's where. Give them a horse and let them lead the way. Let's go to the gravel stone mountain where the murders have occurred. We have to leave faster. If we go too late, we will be afraid that we will not be able to see His Royal Highness."
Everyone was puzzled, Mu Gen pointed to Zhuangzi where the fire was soaring into the sky and said, "Master, can the fire in the Zhuangzi be saved? The prince should be in the Zhuangzi. He didn't know who we were, so he was afraid, so he set fire to himself and wanted to die, so as not to suffer endless torture. He was a misunderstanding. As long as we send someone to explain clearly, wouldn't it be enough? Why do you want to go to the gravel stone mountain bag?"
In the middle of the night, Mugen didn't want to go to a place where murders had happened. Even if so many people went together, he didn't have that kind of preference. Besides, Li Chongjiu must be in the village, how could he go to that small mountain bag? Even if he wanted to go, there were so many eyeliners outside the village, how could he escape the eyes of these heroes? Moreover, Li Chongjiu must know that there were people monitoring outside, so he wouldn't burn Zhuangzi. Then he ran away by himself and couldn't escape at all, so why bother to try it?
But Yang Ze did not explain to him, and the soldiers and generals didn't listen to him. He led the heroes and ran to the hill together. Mu Gen waited for a while before he followed. What the master said was always right, and it shouldn't be wrong this time. I guess that guy Li Chongjiu might be in Shitou Mountain. However, Li Chongjiu was not staying in the village in the middle of the night, so why did he go to Shitou Mountain?
He rode a horse very fast, and in just a short while he arrived at the stone-gravel mountain. With the moonlight, Yang Ze looked up and saw that the hill was not big, and it was very cold. There were no villages and farmland around him, and it was far away from the avenue. It was estimated that few people came here.
Yang Ze sighed: "I'm sorry for those scholars in the murder case. I don't know why I can't think about it. I went here to see the scenery, but I ended up losing my life. Moreover, no one will avenge them for them, and I'll die in vain."
He saw that Li Chongjiu's farm was on fire, and after a little thought, he figured out what was going on. During this period, Li Chongjiu must have been very scared, especially when something happened in the city during the day, he must have been even more afraid. After all, this was a coup that determined his life and death in the future.
But Li Chongjiu certainly did not dare to send someone outside to inquire about the news. Yang Ze's people were monitoring outside the Zhuangzi. Even if Li Chongjiu didn't care about the outside world, he would not know this. This made him unable to know about the outside world at the first time. Even if someone in the city was active and wanted to flatter him, the situation in the city was not settled, so it would not really come. Yang Ze came quickly, so Li Chongjiu was unlikely to know that his sister had become the queen, and his father was waiting to abdicate and ascend the throne.
Li Chongjiu is very gloomy and has been living under the pressure of the eldest princess. He cannot think of a way out without going in advance. However, the world is so big that he, the little prince, has no place to escape. At most, he will hide his identity in the future and take his own jewelry and become a rich man. But if the eldest princess is in power, he will have to die. Even if he escapes, he will have to be caught one day sooner or later. Then, in order to avoid future troubles, the best way is to "be already dead."
Li Chongjiu must have made this preparation long ago. He got a chaos in the city and knew it was over. He didn't know that Yang Ze led his troops back to Chang'an, so he must have thought that the eldest princess would win, and his good days would come to an end. If he didn't want to die, he had to "die once first". So after dark, when he learned that a large group of cavalry in the city was coming, he made a quick decision and asked his family to set fire to the whole village to white ground.
The rest of the matter is easier. As long as he leaves a corpse in the village, it is burned beyond recognition, and then puts some tokens that cannot be burned around the corpse to prove that the corpse is his own little prince. Then the army coming to the city will think that he was really burned to death by fire. This is also a way to commit suicide. After repaying the eldest princess, the eldest princess certainly doesn't want to do anything more. After all, he just obtained power, and no matter how he did, he would still pretend to be kind. He would definitely be a grand burial for Li Chongjiu and make a final conclusion. From then on, there will be no Li Chongjiu in the world.
If Li Chongjiu can escape, he will find a remote place to hide his identity and live the rest of his life honestly. This possibility is still extremely high.
How could Li Chongjiu escape when there was a fire in the village? He escaped from the sea of fire and could not be discovered by people outside surveillance. There was no other good trick except digging tunnels. Of course, the opening of the tunnel cannot be right next to the village, but it cannot be too far away, because the tunnels dug cannot be too long, and Li Chongjiu cannot afford the project that is too large. After all, he does not have so many reliable subordinates, so the exit must be near the village, and it is a place that ordinary people will not go to. This tunnel should have been prepared long ago, but it happened to be the case and has arrived at the moment.
Didn’t the heroes say that there were murder cases in the Stone Mountain in the past few years, and no one lived around them, so the exit was here for seven or eight. The scholars were probably unlucky. They accidentally discovered the exit and were silenced, which became a headless unsolved case. Moreover, Li Chongjiu wanted to be the crown prince in the future, and those scholars were in vain. No one would avenge them, and the government ignored them. There were too many headless unlucky cases, and this was not bad.
Riding on the horse, Yang Ze felt the gentle night wind blowing on people very comfortable. He was silent for a while, only the sound of the Shitou Mountain Ball was not heard. The soldiers and generals around him were silent, and only the sound of the war horses made even more silence in the night.
The soldiers and generals moved, waiting for Yang Ze to issue orders, but Yang Ze closed his eyes instead, as if he was sitting on a horse and dozing off.
After a while, suddenly, two dog barking came from Shitoushanbao. The two dog barking sounds were not loud and a little dull. It sounded not from the surroundings, but from the small hillbao.
Yang Ze opened his eyes and smiled on his face. Li Chongjiu was not walking fast. It took him so long to reach the authentic exit and he was carrying a dog. It seemed that he was very careful, but it was a pity that no matter how careful he was, he was not his opponent!
After a while, the dog started barking again, and the sound became much clearer this time. The dog became louder and louder and there was a tendency to stop. But as he was yelling, it suddenly stopped abruptly, just like a long strip of cloth, which was cut with sharp scissors!
It is obvious that Li Chongjiu brought the dog with him and asked the dog to smell the smell outside at the tunnel exit. The dog's nose is much better than the human nose. People don't have to go out to investigate. You can tell whether there is an ambush outside just from the dog barking. Yang Ze brought a large number of soldiers and generals, both human and horse. If the dog can't smell it, it won't be called a dog anymore.
Yang Ze turned around and said to the soldiers and generals: "It's a pity that dog, it's a good dog. He will call the police when he encounters danger, but he is killed by his master!"
At this time, there was no need for any explanation, and the soldiers and generals also knew that there must be authenticity in this stone mountain bag, and it must have been dug by Li Chongjiu. After the dog called the police, Li Chongjiu was afraid of exposing the target, so he must have cut the dog to death with one knife, otherwise the dog would not have stopped the sound suddenly!
Yang Ze waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately dispersed and surrounded them in the direction where the dog barking came. The stone hill was not big, and the Bohai warriors and Zhenxi soldiers on it were easily surrounded.
Mu Gen shouted: "It's a sound coming from this big stone. As long as you move the stone away, you can see the authentic exit, there is a fire inside... Oh, the fire is gone!"
There must be a ventilation port at the tunnel exit. If someone lit a torch inside, the light will definitely be emitted. With the wooden root calling, the torch will naturally be extinguished by the people inside!
Yang Ze came to the front of the big stone and shouted loudly: "Change the stone, kill in, cut all the people inside, and then grab them out, and find some firewood to burn the prisoners to death with fire, and avenge His Highness Chongjiu!"
The soldiers and generals shouted together, shouting to avenge His Highness Chongjiu. The voice was loud, and even those in the tunnel would definitely hear it clearly!
The tunnel was quiet for a moment, and suddenly someone shouted, "Don't kill in, let's go out, let's go out!"
"I am Li Chongjiu. Do you say you want to avenge Your Highness Chongjiu, but you want to avenge me?" Another voice sounded inside.
Yang Ze shouted: "Nobody is talking nonsense, I must be pretending to be a fake, throwing all my weapons out and surrender!" He winked at Fu Bingrong.
Fu Bingrong understood this wink and was a little surprised, and whispered: "Master, is this okay? He will hold a grudge. For this reason, it would be better to kill him with a knife!"
