All...

The sound of countless iron hooves hitting the earth, like the muffled thunder in the sky, shook people's hearts.

Li Chengqian, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was very familiar with this voice. He knew that it was the sound of the Tang Dynasty cavalry galloping on horseback.

Li Chengqian was happy at first, then calmed down, turned around, and said to Gu Ge and Su Zhi with a cold expression: "The two Qing families don't have to worry anymore, let the following matters be left to the Tang Dynasty!"

Su Zhi, who had already understood what was going on, heard this, ignored the injuries on his body and turned over and wanted to beg for mercy from Li Chengqian. However, his body was seriously injured. When he moved, he felt his back hurt like a heart-wrenching pain, and he fell directly to the ground with an unstable and unstable fall.

Even so, Su Zhi still ignored his face and begged for mercy to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, are all confused for a while and have no malice. He only asks you to give them a chance to see that they have helped the Tang Dynasty to break through Fuyu City and chase He Lu for His Highness, so let them go once!"

As he said that, he kowtowed to Li Chengqian in a posture of being protruding to the ground.

Brother Ku who was still lying on the single frame also reacted, but was different from Su Zhi's begging. Brother Ku loudly defended: "Even if the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty came, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kill these meritorious people?

Your Highness the Crown Prince is not afraid of the coldness of the people. Will no one be willing to work hard for the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

Seeing this, Li Chengqian laughed and said, "The two Qing families are worried too much. How could the Lone King kill loyal ministers at will? At most, just kill a few rebellious people and clean up the door for the two Qing families."

Seeing that Li Chengqian had made up his mind, Gu Ge gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince really wants to kill the meritorious officials?"

Li Chengqian immediately put down his face and asked in a cold voice: "Who is the hero of the Lone King? Others who have the hearts of others do not count."

Brother Gu stared at Li Chengqian with wide eyes. After watching for a long time, he couldn't say a word, but in the end he just closed his eyes stubbornly.

When Li Chengqian knew that Xue Rengui was coming, he had put down the stone in his heart. He was almost tortured by these days when he was in danger.

Although the Khitan and Xi tribe sent troops to fight away the Turkic soldiers, Gu Ge and Su Zhi have tried variously on the Tang army since they entered Fuyu City. If they were allowed to discover that Li Chengqian was already vulnerable, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Chengqian's hatred for the two people was much greater than that for He Lu. If these two people had not made great contributions on the surface and had to use them later, Li Chengqian really wanted to kill these two people now.

Thumb...

A burst of rapid footsteps sounded.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw Duan Shaolong, who was neatly dressed, was walking quickly. Li Chengqian guessed what was going on and waited calmly on his face.

Duan Shaolong left and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "Report to the Crown Prince, General Xue led 30,000 elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to protect the emperor."

From his voice, he could hear his mood was very excited at this moment.

The generals on the city wall were very excited when they heard the exact news, and they could not hide their excitement when they looked at each other.

"good!"

Li Chengqian shouted lightly and walked slowly down the city tower with a cane.

Li Chengqian is no longer in need of being in charge here.

What conspiracy is open?

What to do to be calm and composed?

None of them is as useful as the 30,000 Tang Tiger and Wolf Masters to raise the shiny Tang sword.

Li Chengqian walked very calmly and slowly, Liu Kui bent over and followed him, feather fan, umbrella cover flag

The ceremonial guards followed him in a winding manner, as if they were visiting the back garden of the East Palace.

"kill--"

When Li Chengqian slowly walked back to his residence, there was a sound of shouting and killing sounding across the world outside the city. It was the sound of the Tang army led by Xue Rengui fighting with the grassland warriors.

Li Chengqian knew that the battle would end soon and he was going back to Chang'an...

"Liu Kui!"

"I am here!" Liu Kui responded quickly.

"How was the 'empty city plan' that the Lone King asked you to arrange a few days ago?"

Liu Kui smiled bitterly when she heard this and said in embarrassment: "The plays written by Your Highness the Crown Prince are really good, but, your status is too noble and no one dares to act. I can only order those storytellers to recite them and wait for Your Highness the Crown Prince's order!"

Li Chengqian thought about it and pondered, "It's all that, but the salary here is too small. When the Lone King takes over, you send someone to Yandu first to send them to Yandu first, and order all the salary of Yandu to start carrying this empty city plan."

"I obey the order!" Liu Kui said carefully.

Li Chengqian nodded, thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes and ordered coldly: "Transfer the will of the orphan king: to pass on Lu Yao's head to the army, so that each army can know that this time the Turkic Helu led his army to besiege Gu Wang was the way led by Lu Yao, the son-in-law of the Changsun family."

Lu was chopped by He Lu that day and his body was discarded outside Fuyu City. After He Lu retreated, Li Chengqian ordered someone to retrieve his body.

On the same day, the soldiers of Hebei Road in the army recognized Lu Chengsi's nephew Lu Yao, who was the Lu family's son who married Changsun Wuji's daughter five years ago.

When Lu was robbed, Lu Yao went to Luoyang to welcome the bride. He was not at Fanyang's ancestral home, and later disappeared for no reason.

What’s interesting is that after being severely punished by Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji stayed at home to think about his mistakes and married the daughter of the Lu family in Fanyang and lived in Luoyang from then on.

Five years have passed, Changsun Wuji did not discuss marriage with her anymore, nor did he come to ask for marriage.

People didn't know how to identify her identity, so they just lived in a manor in Luoyang awkwardly.

Now, Li Chengqian happened to take Lu Yao's head and confirm his identity as Changsun Wuji's son-in-law.

After Li Chengqian explained this matter, he watched Liu Kui hurried out to pass the death.

Suddenly a feeling of fatigue came, feeling lazy all over, and a tired smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face. Li Chengqian got up and walked to the bed, lay down with his clothes, and closed his eyes gently. Listening to the sound of fighting outside the city, the sound seemed to slowly leave him, and he finally fell asleep.

This time, Li Chengqian slept very heavily and slept until sunset before he woke up.

The eunuch helped Li Chengqian up, and Liu Kui hurriedly handed over the hot towel.

"There is no sound outside the city. Xue Rengui has wiped out all the rebels outside the city?" Li Chengqian took the hot towel and did not wipe his face first, but asked about the situation outside the city.

"General Xue wiped out the rebellion outside the city at noon, and most of the Khitan and Xi young and strong men surrendered." Liu Kui replied.

"Um!"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian wiped his face with a towel, then threw the towel to another eunuch, drank a mouthwash in Liu Kui's hand, and while shaking the mouthwash in his mouth, he got up and walked slowly forward a few steps, moving his muscles and bones.

After washing his hands in the basin held by an eunuch, he raised his head and spit out mouthwash and said, "When is it? I'm so hungry, get some food for the Lone King."

Liu Kui and the eunuch in the room were extremely excited as Li Chengqian returned to his former vitality and liveliness.

Liu Kui grinned with tears in her eyes, "Hurry up and pass the meal to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu Kui clearly remembered that this was the first time Li Chengqian had been calling for hunger since he heard that the Crown Prince passed away. During these days, he would repeatedly persuade Li Chengqian to eat a few times before he could barely eat some. Seeing that Li Chengqian lost weight, he had no choice.

After the eunuch who was delivering the meal went out, Liu Kui reacted and whispered: "I am confused. I almost forgot to ask the prince for what he wants to eat?"

Li Chengqian ordered several eunuchs to take off his robes and said casually when he heard this: "Just do whatever you want."

Liu Kui nodded quickly and said, "Abide by the order!"

"Change the orphan king's clothes." Li Chengqian, who took off his outer robe, ordered.

The robe was worn by the emperor when he met ministers. In the early years, Li Shimin specially ordered Li Chengqian to wear robe, which was the only one among all the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Li Chengqian was worried that Li Shimin rarely wore a suit. Now, Li Shimin is dead in Li Chengqian's heart, so he doesn't care about these things.

Furthermore, Li Chengqian would meet Xue Rengui and other military generals later, so he would use this to express his determination to them and let them protect themselves and fight back to Chang'an City.

The eunuch heard the order and hurried to get Li Chengqian's suit.

Liu Kui suddenly remembered that Xue Rengui was still kneeling outside the yard and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, General Xue entered the city at noon. When he came to see Your Highness, he heard that Your Highness was sleeping soundly and did not dare to disturb him, so he kept kneeling outside the yard and waiting."

Li Chengqian said puzzledly: "Why did he kneel?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince was in danger, and as a general of the Eastern Palace, he was naturally unreliable. He felt guilty, so he knelt outside the door."

Li Chengqian felt very helpful when he heard this, but he angrily scolded: "No, won't you beg him to come in?"

"ah!"

Liu Kui was shocked when she heard this. What is the relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince and General Xue?

Even if he falls asleep, he dares to let him go into the inner room.

Seeing that Liu Kui was stunned, Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "Why don't you invite General Xue in!"

Liu Kui hurriedly ran out all the way. The eunuch in the room knew that a foreign minister would come in immediately, so he hurriedly brought the suit that Li Chengqian wanted.

"Dongdong..."

Li Chengqian was cooperating with the eunuch to wear clothes. When he thought about what he said when he saw Xue Rengui later, he heard heavy footsteps coming from far to near. Then a flash of the door, and a big man wearing silver armor walked into the door.

Before Li Chengqian could see the big man pushing the gold and jade pillar to his knees, knocking down one head, never lifting it up again.

Li Chengqian was quite moved when he saw this. He put down his little thoughts just now, walked forward a few steps and bent down to help Xue Rengui up, and said in a deep voice: "I heard you have been kneeling outside for a long time?"

Xue Rengui looked at Li Chengqian's thin face and stern eyes and quickly lowered his head, choked with a sob: "I am late to protect my lord, so I will put His Highness in danger. I am guilty of death."

He said that, he wanted to kneel down again.

Li Chengqian hurriedly held Xue Rengui's arms and shouted in a deep voice: "Xue Rengui - you have stood up for the Lone King!"

Xue Rengui was shocked and stood up with his chest and raised his head. Li Chengqian looked up and felt a little pressure, so he took a few steps back. He signaled the eunuch to continue putting clothes on himself.

At this time, Xue Rengui found that Li Chengqian's dress was not neatly worn, so he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at it.

Li Chengqian began to look at Xue Rengui up and down. Seeing that his armor was clean, his face and beard were tidy, he knew that he had washed and changed his armor before coming to see him. He nodded in his heart and explained slowly: "The Lone King heard that you were leading the army and had no worries anymore, so he slept heavily. He didn't expect you to kneel outside for a long time."

Xue Rengui could also imagine that Li Chengqian had been trapped in Fuyu City with weak troops these days, and dealing with the Turks, Khitans, and Xi tribes, would have been physically and mentally exhausted.

"It was the incompetent minister who made His Highness the Crown Prince frightened." Xue Rengui once again apologized for his guilt.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore, tell me how it is going on in Goguryeo."

Xue Rengui was excited when he heard this, and gave a big gift to Li Chengqian and said excitedly: "Your Highness, there is no Goguryeo in the world since then."

Li Chengqian first paused and then laughed.

"Haha... OK! OK! OK!" After saying three good words in a row, his face gritted and said, "The Lone King is going back to Chang'an..."

"I am willing to take the lead and clear all obstacles for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Rengui immediately expressed his loyalty when he heard this.

As long as you are not a fool, Li Chengqian will definitely ascend the throne as long as he succeeds in his return to Chang'an. At this time, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will be a hero of the new dynasty. Xue Rengui, who has always been steady, cannot ignore this.

Li Chengqian nodded with a look of relief and said, "This is like a sentence!" Then he issued an order, "The generals will be in a great banquet tonight, and they will start tomorrow!"
