Chapter 614 Liuyun Feishe and the Knife

Dugu Xue had never seen Li Yuan so angry. When he was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Great Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan supervised the grain in Huaiyuan Town, western Liaoning, and was just a fifth-ranked small captain. At that time, although Li Yuan was a Duke, he had to salute him. In his impression, Li Yuan seemed to be a person who never got angry. He always smiled whether faced with the humiliation and sarcasm of court officials openly or secretly.

Now things change, and Li Yuan is already the one with the greatest power in the world. Dugu Xue couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Yuan's angry look, saying that the old woman Li, who had been ridiculed by countless people, would also get angry.

The Yang family was overthrown, and the Dugu family actually showed signs of decline before the Yang family. After the Sui Dynasty was replaced by the Tang Dynasty, if Li Yuan had not been thinking about a few distant relatives, the Dugu family's situation would have been even more miserable. After Jiangdu was occupied by Yu Culture and the people, Dugu Xue escaped in a very indifferent manner. After more than a year of twists and turns, he arrived in Chang'an. Where did he go in the past year have he gone? Few people in Chang'an City know about it.

When Li Yuan asked, he was talking about avoiding disaster and recovering from injuries in a remote place in Jiangnan. Li Yuan knew the skills of the Dugu family. He originally wanted to let him serve as the first Minister of Justice of the Tang Dynasty, but Dugu Xue just refused and would rather be a side army soldier than to serve as the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, Li Yuan would not really let him become a side army soldier, so he was now a commander in the imperial guards, and later promoted to general of the gate guards, responsible for guarding the palace.

Dugu Xue lowered his head and looked at Wu Yinghai with some pity, then nodded and said, "The Ministry of Justice has not found a good-skilled knife handle. I wonder if he can keep alive and wait until the last piece of meat is cut. But this is the matter of the Ministry of Justice, I will send someone over there. As for the boy from Hedong County, I will send someone to catch him."

After venting, Li Yuan's anger became less. He knew that he was still angry because of Li Shimin's rebellion. Otherwise, he just needed someone to pull the eunuch out and slash him with a knife. Why bother to Lingchi? Thinking of this, he immediately understood what Dugu's words meant, and the expression on his face became softer.

It is worthy of being a person who is also highly valued by Yang Guang. Everyone in the Dugu family speaks of intelligence. He just said that the Ministry of Justice does not have a qualified knife hand, instead of directly advising himself not to move around. The same meaning is the same as those who risk their lives to speak out, but the way is much gentler. The Tang Dynasty was established, and the prince's rebellion was already unbearable. To be executed by a eunuch, what should we do if we catch so many rebellious court officials at that time?

If there were dozens or even hundreds of people in one breath, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would make people talk behind their backs.

This is the level of knowledge in speaking. Although people who speak directly are admirable, aren’t they just talking directly for the sake of direct advice? Dugu Xue’s words are tactful and implicit, but as long as the emperor is not an idiot, they will naturally understand.

"Then don't let Lingchi. If my first castration man to be executed by Lingchi in the Tang Dynasty is a scammer who cannot be put on the table, it would be a joke... But if this castrated dog is chopped up with one knife, it is too cheap for him, Dugu Xue... You thought of the ninety-nine kinds of torture instruments in the Ministry of Justice of the Sui Dynasty, then tell me what method is suitable for the serious crimes committed by this castrated dog."

"Skinned"

Dugu Xue thought about it and replied.

"Then drag it out and peel it."

Li Yuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm a little dizzy outside. Go and see if there is anything that needs help from the prince. Don't delay such a thing for too long. If the people in Chang'an City are frightened, who knows what else will happen? There has always been no shortage of rogues among the people who take the opportunity to cause trouble. Although you are not in the Ministry of Justice, you are the best at these things. Go back and inform the people from the various yamen to let them be careful. Jingzhao Yin, those guys in Chang'an Mansion cannot hide at home and ignore them. Send people to let the yamen send people to patrol the public security... The chaos must be pacified, and the public security must be taken care of."

Dugu Xue nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want General Li Daozong to lead his army to patrol the city?"

Li Yuan nodded, his expression slightly haggard.

Dugu Xue served an emperor with such a clear mind. He knew that Li Yuan had nothing to say, so he immediately took a few guards to take Wu Yinghai out. When he walked to the door, Li Yuan suddenly asked from behind: "You said that the Ministry of Justice does not have a qualified knife hand, so who will peel it?"

Dugu Xue thought about it and turned around and said, "I can."

"Skinning and Lingchi, that's harder?"

Li Yuan asked again.

Dugu Xue replied in a plain voice: "Lingchi took a longer time, but the requirements for knife skills are much lower than skinning. As long as you cut enough knife counts, stop bleeding in time, and people will not die without cutting the last knife. But skinning is different... Human skin is always harder to peel than cat skins and dog skins."

"Can you peel off a complete piece of human skin?"

"I haven't done it myself for many years, and I'm only 50% sure."

"Go, let's take it and show it to me."

Dugu Xue bowed and asked when he turned around and was about to leave: "Skin to peel or live? If Your Majesty wants to see the complete human skin, it is better to peel it."

Li Yuan said with some annoyance: "Since it's skinning, what's the point of peeling it dead? What I said I wanted to see is not to look at the human skin, but the castrated dog that has not yet died. I want to see, he has no shame to see what I look like!"

Dugu Xue felt cold in his heart. When he looked at Wu Yinghai, he even had pity in his eyes, leaving only helplessness.

Wu Yinghai looked at the emperor sitting behind the desk, and then looked at Dugu Xue. The old face was useless. He just smiled bitterly and shook his head, kowtowed three times in the direction of the imperial study room, then stood up and said seriously to Dugu Xue: "Please hurry up. If your Majesty regrets it when he is halfway through, I will not be able to bear the sin."

Dugu Xue had to admire the eunuch at this time. He nodded and replied seriously: "Don't worry, it only took me an hour and a half when I was stripped of the first person in the Ministry of Justice fifteen years ago. Although I am a little bit old now, I am more skilled than doing this for the first time."

Wu Yinghai didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed out loud: "You should be able to peel my skin faster, after all, it's a little less."

...

...

Li Xian was half-jokingly telling Zhang Xiaodi and Ye Huaixue that he would definitely see a meteor shower tonight. The smell of blood in it was actually very strong, and it made people dare not think about it carefully. As Li Xian said, there were too many people who died in Chang'an City today. Not to mention the soldiers who were still fighting like crazy, but only saying that there were many generals who died.

The four generals who guarded Chang'an City, the right-leading guard general Xin Wenli was chopped off by Li Xiaogong's knife, and the left-leaning general Pei Chengchun was shot into a hedgehog by Li Daozong's troops and then shot arrows into a hedgehog. Ding Yanping, a veteran Sui general who was once famous for his opponent in the world, was cut open by Dugu Huai'en with a knife, and Dugu Huai'en was cut open on his back and then poked his head.

Li Shimin's command was the most elite group of troops in the Tang Dynasty. So far, six or seven generals above the generals had died. As for the lieutenant, countless middle and low-level generals like the brigade leader were killed. One person was already piled up under Xuanwu's corpses, and the soldiers of the Lihu Camp who were stepping on the corpse of his comrades were still screaming and erecting the ladder.

Wang Bodang and Xia Fengchun followed Li Jiancheng's military order to lead troops to kill all the soldiers of the Tiger Camp who climbed the city wall. These two fierce figures would kill people when they attacked, and they were extremely quick and neat. No one of the rebels who climbed the city tower was their opponents. In less than half an hour, the rebels finally seized the place they occupied on the city wall by the defenders. More than 100 elite soldiers of the Tiger Camp and thirty Li Shimin's personal guards were slaughtered by Wang Bochao and Xia Fengchun.

Chai Shao led his men to the other side to resist Yin Kaishan's offensive. At this time, the personal guards left by Li Shimin were all his four guards. The commanders of the Qilin Guard Huangfu Wuqi and Zhuque Dugu Yirou stood on his left. Wan Yulou, who seemed to be a little dizzy, stood on Li Jiancheng's right with a pale face without saying anything, his lips were pursed very tightly, as if he would spit it out as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Shimin is going to withdraw his troops."

Li Jiancheng watched the rebels under the city wall change, and he slowly shook his head and sighed: "He is a mad gambler. In fact, he expected failure when he entered the city. But he did not retreat until now, betting on his own life. But in the end he was still lacking courage and dared not wait any longer."

But he didn't see that Li Shimin was forced to lead him out of the city by Fang Xuanling.

Huangfu Wuqi nodded and said, "I just don't know why the cards he is holding are not turned over."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Because that card is gone."

He thought for a while and added: "Maybe there is, but it has become no longer his card."

"I will check it carefully!"

Huangfu Wuqi said in a solemn tone: "Even if this card is not turned out at the critical moment, it is still there. This is a hidden danger, and I will find a way to dig it out."

Li Jiancheng said with a hunch, "Dig, since Shimin feels that this card is enough for him to turn defeat into victory, it is extremely important. No matter how deep you dig, whom you dig, you must dig thoroughly. Will Shimin still turn around if he withdraws from Chang'an City if he loses today? If he thinks he can still go back to control the 100,000 troops under Duan Zhixuan, Gu has to say that he is an idiot. Even if Duan Zhixuan was loyal to him before, Duan Zhixuan would never let him return to the army if he was defeated. Gu does not even need to send troops to chase him, and the defenders along the road are enough for Shimin to exhaust everything."

"Tell Li Xiaogong that he should chase him, but he can't force him too much. Just run away all the way. Gu Shi really wanted to see when Shimin returned to Dongdu Camp and found out that Duan Zhixuan was greeting him with a knife. What a funny joke. Maybe Shimin didn't know that in Gu's eyes, he was always just a joke."

He thought proudly in his heart, who knew that when Shimin was sent away, or even when An Zhi was sent away, was me who advised his father to make up his mind? Even Ning'er didn't know. She only remembered that I stood at the gate with her hand and stood in the snow and watched them leave. In her eyes, I have always been a gentle and generous brother.

Although I am the eldest son, who guarantees that the eldest son can inherit everything? If a person wants to live a simple and comfortable life in the future, he must plan his future early... It's a pity that one was left at the door of a nunnery, and the other was abandoned in the old house in Longyou. Moreover... Gu didn't expect that both of them could achieve something, which really made Gu look at him with admiration.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng looked back at Li Huining who was squatting on the ground more than ten steps away from him and cried silently, with a smile on his lips.

He sighed softly, revealing coldness.

"Ju is not in a hurry to let him die, but Gu wants him to lose completely."

After saying this, he waited for a while, but did not wait for Huangfu Wuqi's answer. He turned his head to look, but found that Huangfu Wuqi's face was full of surprise and fear. Li Jiancheng was stunned. After a careful look, he saw that at some point a knife emerged from Huangfu Wuqi's heart. There was a floor of bright red blood hanging on the tip of the knife. After shaking it for a few times, it slowly dripped down.

Li Jiancheng was shocked and immediately retreated.

But he was still slow. His eyes were only staring behind Huangfu Wuqi, and he only saw the slowly exposed black stone with a blindfolded face. However, he did not see the man who was very close to him dancing the most wonderful and charming dance in the world. When he first saw this Tianlai Fan Dance starting style, he was shocked. Two years later, he woke up and found that the Tianlai Fan Dance starting style was not only good-looking, but also killing people.

Dugu Yirou floated over instantly, Liuyun Feishang wrapped her sleeves around Li Jiancheng's neck. Li Jiancheng held the long sleeves and stopped Liuyun from tightening his throat. But he could not guess that Liuyun Feishang was just so beautiful that it was dazzlingly concealed. The red-sleeved knife behind Liuyun. When he saw the sword light, he understood that everything that looked beautiful was hidden behind. The more beautiful it was, the more it was hard to defend itself.

The knife looked extremely lightly cut on Li Jiancheng's neck, leaving only a faint bloodline.
