Li Zhien escaped this time, and he left in a hurry, and he took almost nothing in the treasures in the palace. Those who were willing to go with her were all guards and palace maids who were grateful to King Zhenping. There were only a small number of people, like those who supported King Ge Wen, who felt that the mistress was destined to be the king. He recognized the "general trend" and defected to King Ge Wen. When Li Zhien fled, they did not stop him, which was already very good.

These people, and some of them died on the road, were only less than 200 people left when they arrived at the dock. This also included veterans under Li Chongyi, which means that there were not a hundred people who came out of the Silla Palace with Li Zhien.

These people were divided into two boats, which was very crowded. Li Chongyi killed all the men in black and vacancies a fishing boat. Each boat was divided into some people, which was a little more generous.

But the crisis has not been resolved because there is not enough food on the ship. All the food is added together and can only be needed for five days. If you don’t land for five days to find food, the people on the ship will go hungry. At that time, people’s hearts are unstable and anything may happen.

In the evening, Li Chongyi returned to the ship where Li Mu was and brought back a map. The map was found from the man in black. Judging from the marks on the map, the destination of the man in black's trip was Namba. Li Mu had never heard of this place name, but judging from the location marked on the map, compared with the memories of his previous life, Li Mu roughly judged that this place should be Osaka.

He actually wanted to go to "Wa Kingdom", which was far from what Li Mu expected. He originally thought that the destination of this group of people was Baekje-

etc!

Li Mu suddenly realized a problem, Japan?

If he hadn't learned about geography in vain, Japan would be in the east of Baekje in terms of geographical location. And Li Zhien and his party were going back to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was on the west, so it would be impossible for him to come to the east. In other words, either the man in black took the wrong route, or Li Zhien and his party took the wrong route.

Li Mu was about to ask, but he didn't say anything. He remembered that when he was in Chang'an, I heard Yixiu talk about it. When he sent the Tang envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he was very dangerous. In this era, there were any routes, and they all floated along the ocean currents, with an approximate direction, and the rest were left to fate.

The old boatman who came to the boat asked, and it was true. Now the ocean current is indeed going eastward, but it doesn't matter. It only takes a few more days to float around the ocean current back to the right direction. Li Mu could probably understand it, but the problem now is that there is not enough food to eat, and I am afraid I will not be able to wait for that time.

“Where is the nearest land?”

"Namba in Japan." said the old ship worker.

"Let's go there!" Li Mu made the decision, and the old boatman said hurriedly: "This noble man, the Japanese are not easy to deal with. When we get there, they may not help us, and maybe they can't tell whether they take advantage of the situation or robbery."

"Then you have to go," Li Mu said in a deep voice: "They are all people who escaped together. How can you watch everyone starve to death? Take one step at a time. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. You can land first. I am always uneasy in my heart at the sea."

The old boatman looked at Li Zhien, who said, "Whatever my husband says is, just follow his instructions."

The old boatman had to agree, confirmed the direction of the ocean current with Li Mu, planned the general route, and then stood at the bow of the boat and shouted.

Li Zhien lay in Li Mu's ear, muttered, and ran out. Li Mu blushed a little, coughed lightly, and changed the topic and said, "Zhongyi, brother, please ask you something."

"Big Brother,"

"I heard from Zhien that you have someone you like?" Li Mu stood on tiptoe, patted Li Chongyi on the shoulder, and said, "It's good to have someone you like. If you really like it, when you return to the Tang Dynasty, your brother will make the decision for you and get married."

"Brother, you misunderstood, she is not-"

"What's wrong? What's the embarrassment of a man who is a man." Li Mu said as if he had experienced it, "If you live for a lifetime, don't hide it if you like it. You are old and it's time to ask for a wife."

Li Chongyi pursed his lips. For some reason, without explanation. When Li Mu decided to accept it, he patted his shoulder again, followed where Li Zhien had just told him, and went to find her room.

Li Chongyi stood on the deck, and the sea breeze blew his face as if he was pounding a statue.

Seeing that girl evoked the memory he had been in his heart for many years. He had a lot to say to Li Mu, but now it is not the time.

...

Li Shimin was lying on the couch, and what flashed through his mind was the scenes of the past. Fang Xuanling guessed well, everything was arranged by Li Shimin long ago. For emperors, personal emotions, the so-called hatred and non-hate, are actually not that important. He even did not care about the so-called Jiancheng's son. Over the years, he urged Yuan Tiangang to do Jiancheng's son and killed many people. Most of them were not Jiancheng's sons, but when you are the descendants of the Eighteen-Road anti-kings, they just did it in the name of Jiancheng's sons. These are all things that must be done. In the name of the name, the results are the same. It may be different to outsiders, but for Li Shimin, it is the same.

The excitement of success in the plan gradually faded away in loneliness, and an inexplicable sorrow began to surge in my heart.

No one is born a conspirator. If you can choose, anyone wants to live in the sunshine.

Of course, Li Shimin was the same. He lived a very sunny life. At that time, Li Yuanxiong had just begun to show his talent. When the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, he had great ambitions. Li Jiancheng was young and capable, and was famous all over the world. Under the halo of his father and brother, Li Shimin sat with his own general of Tiance without worry. As long as he won the battle, he would not have to worry about anything. How happy it was?

But since he became emperor, he found that his life has changed a lot, and he could no longer do the period he liked to do. He could no longer express his heart in the original form, and the way he hated the most in the past became what he is now. In order to be a "wise ruler" and a good emperor who is respected, he had to work hard every day between documents, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't galloped.

Although this time, there was a suspicion of bad people's support, the mastermind of this rebellion case was his own son. How sad is this?

Is that throne worthy of even the father-son family affection destroyed?

Is this... a retribution given to me by God?

When Li Shimin thought of this, he felt like he was hollowed out. He lay on the couch and couldn't let go for a long time. He tossed and turned. He had been like this for several days in the past. When he was a little tired, it was already clear.

Don’t think about it anymore, just take a nap. You will resume morning court tomorrow. You must not make any mistakes. I will appear in front of the ministers with the fullest spirit!

Li Shimin thought, forcing himself to close his eyes.

However, at this moment, Eunuch Gao shouted loudly: "There is an assassin!"

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, handed over the copper candlestick, and swept the candles on the candlestick to the ground.

The candle rolled on the ground twice, the flames went out, and the candlestick was held in his hand, as if it was a sword in his hand.

With a "bang", the window frame flew away, and a figure rushed in quickly, swung his fists and walked straight to the front of the couch.

What a sharp blow.

The defense outside is like a layer of paper, which can be broken as soon as it is worn.

No one thought about where this person came out, why there was no warning on the outer layer of defense, and no one noticed why the assassin knew the environment here so well, not only found the only flaw in the room at the fastest speed, but also entered the room and accurately found the bed with the bursting fragments of the window.

However, Li Shimin was the emperor of the horse and never put his skills down.

When the masked man rushed in, the candlestick in Li Shimin's hand had already stabbed it and grabbed the masked man's throat.

In this moment, Li Shimin actually found the masked man's throat, his hands, eyes and body skills, which were first-class. But it was useless. Seeing that the candlestick was about to be stabbed, the man twisted his body strangely, and the candlestick was blocked by him. In the blink of an eye, the fight crackled several times, and Li Shimin only felt that his chest was about to burn, so he forced himself to take a step back and waited for Eunuch Gao to chase him.

Li Shimin originally thought that the masked man could not escape now, but the matter was far from as simple as he thought. Eunuch Gao chased after him, and the assassin was so arrogant that he wanted to fight two, and he was at ease.

Li Shimin was really shocked. He was the emperor on the road and his kung fu was not weak. He also knew Eunuch Gao's skills. There were actually people in the world who could fight them with ease. Who was this person?

Eunuch Gao was also frightened at this time. He was easily broken through their defense by the assassin. This was his serious dereliction of duty. If Li Shimin had a few faults because of this incident, they would not be able to redeem them for a hundred deaths. Eunuch Gao was really anxious and shouted, calling the guards behind him to rush forward together.

Seeing that more and more people gather, the more people would be defeated if they continue to fight, they would have a desire to retreat and said, "You must do what you promised. If you can't do it, you are here to take your life!" After saying that, the person was gone without a trace. The speed of his body was so fast that no one could surpass his right hand.

Eunuch Gao did not pursue him, nor did the guards pursue him. The emperor was indoors, who dared to stay outside and wait for the assassin's retreat?

They all rushed in, and when the guards jumped out of the window, it was a smooth road.

At that moment, a guard commander shouted loudly, leaving four people to protect the emperor, and the others rushed out in a swarm.

"Who will it be?" Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao, who shook his head and said that he was not clear. A person popped up in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it. He is known as the hero among heroes, the giant hero in the world, and the bearded guest of the world, can be the concubine of such a gentleman on the beam.

Eunuch Gao shook his head and said he didn't know. Li Shimin didn't ask, gritted his teeth and said, "Look for me, dig three feet into the ground, and find it for me!"

Eunuch Gao turned around and went out. Immediately, the four gates of the imperial city were closed. The General Chang He of the Central Army led 6,000 imperial guards to surround Li Shimin's Tai Chi Palace. In this way, he was still worried and sent ten more crossbowmen. Their hands were all invented by Li Mu. Ten people shot volleys, and no one in the world could catch them.

Until dawn, Eunuch Gao came back and said nothing, kneeling on the ground to apologize.

"Your Majesty, you have searched all over the palace, but no trace is found. It seems that the assassin has run away."

"I'm not surprised." Li Shimin walked back and forth in the hall with his hands in his arms. At this time, a sword had already hung around his waist, and the scabbard was gently swinging with his steps, while the hilt of the sword was always held in his hands: "If I guess well, the person coming would be the bearded guest."

"Queen Bearded Guest?" Eunuch Gao said in shock: "How could Quueen Beard do such a despicable thing!"

"Who has such great ability except the bearded guest?" Suddenly, Li Shimin stopped and said, "The Tai Chi Palace guards have a total of 64 people?"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

"Take out all the crossbows, and everyone will be given one. Twelve people to the Lizheng Hall and let the emperor dispatch it! Never be careless!"

"No." Eunuch Gao responded, but he still didn't believe that the bearded guest would do such a thing. The shadow of a man's name and the bearded guest was unparalleled and righteous, so it was impossible for him to be him!

...

During the morning court, Li Shimin disclosed the coup that happened last night in front of the civil and military officials. After hearing this, the officials were confused and their eyes immediately turned into shock.

Although the process Li Shimin said was an understatement and not a dangerous one. However, when he explained the matter publicly, he did not talk casually. There was a person in the courtroom whose face changed.

This person is Li Jing! Everyone in the world knows the relationship between the bearded guest and him. It can be said that if Li Jing was asked to choose one between Li Shimin and the bearded guest, Li Jing would choose the bearded guest instead of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin knew very well that he would inevitably cause criticism when he told what happened last night. But Li Shimin didn't care about this much. He knew that the noise last night was too big, and the four gates of the palace were closed and could not be hidden. Instead of asking people to make random guesses, it would be better for the official to announce it himself, so as not to spread the rumors more and more outrageous. As for how to deal with the subsequent matters, it depends on what Li Jing said. Although it was a matter of assassination and was ruthless, if Li Jing came forward to protect the person, Li Shimin would definitely give Li Jing this face.

At present, Li Jing has become a spiritual symbol. The halo of General Tiance is not as effective as Li Jing. If he conquers Goguryeo in the spring next year, Li Jing will be an indispensable part. For such an important figure, as long as Li Jing does not rebel, Li Shimin will definitely find a way to meet the basic requirements.

In terms of selfishness, Li Shimin did not want to kill the Qiuyan Guest. When the Qiuyan Guest became famous, Li Shimin was also a young boy. His admiration for the Qiuyan Guest was no less than that of Eunuch Gao and the others. However, he is now the emperor, so such words are inconvenient to say and express.

If he could communicate well with the bearded guest and let him "abandon the dark and turn to the light" for his own use, Li Shimin would not care about what happened last night.
