Chapter 1174 The trap

In the Shu Palace, Li Hongxin was calm at this time.

No one denies that Li Hongxin was once a hero of a generation. He inherited the position of King Shu at a young age, and for the next ten years, he had always kept Xichuan firmly in his hands. If it were not for the powerful Chu State and the famous general Jinyi Old Marquis, Xichuan might still be in the hands of Li Hongxin.

The iron horse and gold sword are in the wind and clouds, and Li Hongxin has experienced strong winds and waves.

He was once glorious and majestic, and he also fell into the trough of his life, worried that the Chu Congress would kill him day and night.

After the rise and fall, he was able to calm down at critical moments.

This was his last attempt. He knew what this meant. Once he succeeded, his dream of re-control of Xichuan for many years would be very likely to be achieved. His suffering of spending more than 20 years of hard work and tasting galls will not be in vain. However, once he failed, he would never have the next chance.

This desperate bet is certainly not the best time, and it is even a bit forced.

But since he took action, he made the most careful arrangements. As long as the action was successful tonight, he would know how to make the next deployment. At that time, the entire Xichuan was his belongings, so of course he knew what means to control Xichuan.

"Prince, the action should have begun!" Ximen Hengye's expression was also very serious, sitting diagonally opposite Li Hongxin: "If everything goes well, we can get the news within an hour."

Li Hongxin nodded slightly, and Mr. Huang, who was sitting next to Ximen Hengye, said, "Prince, we can also act here."

Li Hongxin pondered for a moment before nodding, "Let Sun Shou lead the guards of the royal palace to set off immediately and take down the arsenal."

Mr. Huang bowed and stepped down to pass the order.

After Mr. Huang retreated, Ximen Hengye came closer and said, "Prince, this time I can't contact Dizang in time. If I can get his help, I should...!"

Li Hongxin smiled faintly and said, "Changshi, I am an alliance with Dizang, not obeying him. Even if he really sends people to help, it will not have much impact on the outcome tonight. If we can win, we can win, but if we can't win, we can't turn the situation around with a few more of him."

Ximen Hengye nodded slightly, and Li Hongxin whispered: "If there are people with him in this operation, after I win, I will be constrained by him. This time, the victory has nothing to do with him, so he will not be qualified to point fingers in front of me."

Ximen Hengye smiled and said, "What the prince said is very true."

"But after I control Xichuan, I should be more careful about this person." Li Hongxin's eyes showed a cold and stern expression and sneered: "He promised me that I would be able to make the Miao people lead the rebellion in Xichuan. In this way, Xichuan fell into turmoil and I would have the opportunity to control Xichuan. But in the end, the Miao people did not rebel, but even the secret letter I wrote to Langchadulu was actually in the hands of Qi Ning. This person was not good enough to defeat the situation and was useless to me."

Ximen Hengye whispered: "Prince, if we don't use Dizang, we must be prepared to get rid of him in the future. This person is already quite powerful in Xichuan. When the prince controls Xichuan, this person becomes a stumbling block for the prince and poses a threat to the prince."

Li Hongxin nodded and said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time. It is not advisable to deal with Dizang too quickly, and try it slowly." His eyes were deep and he said calmly: "I must first take down Chengdu. As long as I take down Chengdu, the next thing will be easier." After pondering slightly, he said, "Changshi, have you said Wei Shutong's head been taken down now?"

Ximen Hengye thought for a while before saying, "Even if Wei Shutong's head has not been taken down now, it will be almost done."

In the governor's mansion, Dai Ling was the first to take Wei Shutong's head and rushed into Wei Shutong's residence, but found that the house was empty and there was no trace of Wei Shutong.

The soldiers searched every corner of the house, but did not find the same hair as Wei Shu.

Four people rushed into the governor's mansion, but so far, they didn't hear any noise.

Dai Ling had already felt something was wrong. After leaving the house, someone next to him said: "General, does Wei Shutong not live here?"

Before Dai Ling could speak, he heard footsteps and looked at the gate of the courtyard. He saw that Lu Yi had led a group of people in. Dai Ling greeted him. Lu Yi raised his hand to stop everyone and asked, "General Dai, did you hold Wei Shutong?"

"He is not here." Dai Ling frowned and said, "Mr. Lu, do you see other people in the mansion?"

"General Dai, we came in through the back door and saw no figure along the way." Lu Yi looked strange: "There seems to be no one in the governor's mansion. There are two houses with lights. We rushed in, but no figure was found."

Dai Ling's face was even more ugly. He rushed out of the yard first. A group of people followed him, passing through the corridor and met another mansion, but no living person was found in the governor's mansion.

The entire governor's mansion was actually an empty house.

Dai Ling felt cold on her back and felt something was wrong.

"This is a trap!" Dai Ling said suddenly, "Enable from here quickly." He held the knife in his hand tightly and rushed straight to the main gate. There were still eight soldiers guarding the main gate. Seeing Dai Ling rushing over with a large group of people, Dai Ling was a little surprised. He said in a deep voice: "Open the door and go out first."

Several soldiers immediately turned around and opened the door. The door opened, and countless arrows shot towards him. The three soldiers were shot into hedgehogs. Dai Ling vaguely saw the street outside the door, with figures coming, and was shocked and shouted: "Close the door quickly!"

Without his command, the soldiers had quickly closed the door.

"General Dai, there is an ambush outside." Lu Yi's voice was also full of horror: "They... they set up a trap!"

Dai Ling's hands and feet are cold.

"You guard the front door." Dai Ling pointed to several people and said, "Don't let them break in." He waved his hand and said, "Others follow me to the back door." He turned around and ran towards the back door. Hundreds of people followed Dai Ling and walked straight through the governor's mansion. When he reached the back door, Dai Ling winked, and the two of them carefully touched each other. However, with the lessons from the front door, they didn't dare to open the back door immediately. One of them put his eyes on the crack of the door and looked outside, but he saw that the back alley was empty.

The man then felt relieved, turned around and nodded to Dai Ling, and then opened the back door. As expected, no arrows shot into the outside. Dai Ling still did not act rashly and whispered again. The two soldiers left the back door first, arrived at the back alley, looked left and right, and were about to wave inside, in the night, the strong wind suddenly rose, and two "puff" sounds, two hidden arrows shot into the throats of the two soldiers. The two of them shook and fell to the ground.

Dai Ling was shocked and knew that there was an ambush in the back alley, so someone quickly closed the back door.

"General, now it seems that this is a carefully arranged trap." Lu Yi looked sad: "Our action was completely under the other party's calculations. The surname Qi deliberately made us fall into the trap."

"General, what should we do now?" someone asked behind him.

Dai Ling's face was extremely ugly.

He was not worried that he would not be able to leave the governor's mansion. For him, he was planning to sacrifice his life tonight and was ready to die here, but the current situation has shown that Qi Ning had already prepared for the raid tonight, and even set up a pocket to let Li Hongxin jump down. Dai Ling knew that Li Hongxin's full-strength attack after enduring twenty years would eventually be a complete failure and a dream bubble.

His hands and feet were cold and he sneered: "Everyone, we have received the favor of the prince, and we only want to fight until death to repay the prince!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside: "You will raid the governor's mansion tonight and rebel against the court. You will be extremely guilty. If you put down your weapons immediately, you can survive. If you resist stubbornly, you will be killed without any hesitation!"

Dai Ling laughed and said, "Let's put down our weapons and come in and get them with the ability." But he was still ready to have a last try, thinking that he had about 400 people under his command, and they were all brave soldiers who had been trained. Although he didn't know how many ambushed Qi Ning tonight, he was still not unlucky to fight.

"What's the difference between a desperate person and a rioter?" The voice from outside said, "But many of you have families and careers. The governor has ordered you to surrender now, not only can you protect your lives, but you can also ensure that your family will not be punished. If you are stubborn and unscrupulous, you will not only kill you, but also pursue the crimes of the three clans."

Dai Ling's soldiers attacked the governor's mansion at night, but found that it was an empty mansion. The murderous aura he had accumulated had already been leaked a lot. Then he found that he was originally planning to surround the governor's mansion, but now he was surrounded by officers and soldiers in the governor's mansion, and he was also a little panicked.

Jinguanwei was Li Hongxin's personal guards. They were all from Shu, and most of them had families. At this time, the voice outside threatened his family, and many people became even more frightened.

No one knows how many people there are outside, but because they don’t know, they feel panicked.

Dai Ling saw that many of the soldiers under his command had different expressions, and knew that the other party's words had affected the morale of the army. He knew that if he wanted to give up at this time, everyone would have to work together. If the morale of the army was in chaos, the consequences would be unimaginable. He said in a deep voice: "Brothers, since we have come here, even if we surrender, do you think they will really let you go? We can only give up our gamble and have a chance to turn defeat into victory." Then he sighed and said: "I won't force you. If anyone of you wants to put down your weapons, you can retreat aside."

Hundreds of people looked at each other and immediately said, "General Dai, the prince is as kind to us as a mountain. If you abandon your weapons and surrender at this time, is it still a matter for humans to do? Let's go back to the Shu Palace, protect the prince and rush out of the city, and look for a chance to make a comeback."

Dai Ling's eyes looked like a knife and asked, "All of you are thinking?"
