Not long after Liu Lancheng welcomed the martyrs back to Xiazhou, a spy came to report that reinforcements had arrived and were sweeping up the remnants of the Turkic army from the periphery of Xiazhou all the way north.

When Liu Lancheng heard this, he hurriedly got up and asked excitedly, "Do you know who led the army?"

"The subordinates look at the flag, a Li Ziqi, I really don't know who it is. The stall replied.

"Isn't Shangshu here in person?" Liu Lancheng muttered to himself.

The eldest grandson, who was sitting on the side, shook his head and said, "It should be the King of Shu." ”

"Shu Wang Ke?" Liu Lancheng was surprised, he had heard of this person's name, but he had never seen a real person. However, when he fought with Liang Shidu before, he had seen the firmament under the King of Shu, and he intuitively felt that the King of Shu was a very remarkable person.

"You probably haven't figured out why Jieli besieged Xiazhou and Shuofang, but didn't take it, and went directly to besiege Suizhou, right?"

Liu Lancheng nodded and said, "I'm puzzled. ”

The eldest grandson got up, picked up the branch and drew on the sand table on the side, and said, "You can see for yourself what the situation is in Suizhou." ”

Although Liu Lancheng is not a famous general, he is not an idle martial artist. After a little glance, he saw the danger of the terrain, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "This Jieli is really sinister and vicious. ”

"On the other hand, a military genius. Eldest Sun Jun said slowly.

Liu Lancheng nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, where can ordinary people think of this." It's just that it's all in the past. Now that you have worked hard, solved this dilemma, and saved Datang, it is Datang's luck. ”

The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "I hit it by mistake. I didn't know about it before. Moreover, I am not the one who solves the siege. According to the calculation of time, if the reinforcements really did not see Jieli's ambitions, they would have fallen into the trap long ago. ”

"Brother Chongguang means that our reinforcements have already seen Jieli's conspiracy?" Liu Lancheng was very surprised.

"Hmm. Eldest Sun Jun nodded.

Liu Lancheng was very surprised, but when he thought of the many people who died because of this war, he became sad again, and the tears in his eyes were intertwined with pride. He stood up and shouted with arrogance: "Tonight, for the sake of the brothers who have died." ”

"Good. The eldest grandson replied and stood up. This time, he went to see Jieli in his cell and laid a net around him.

In fact, the net laid by the eldest grandson has no effect. Because at this time the Turks were in chaos. Jieli was captured, Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui and others successively became independent, refused to obey the orders of the Turks, but turned against each other and killed Jieli's henchmen. And the royal court, which was far away in the grassland, was raided by the people sent by Li Shimin, and Princess Yicheng, who was sitting in the royal court, was slaughtered on the spot.

No one is going to save Jieli at all!

On the second day, Li Jing's army marched. Following the signal left by Li Ke and other vanguard troops, he went straight to the Turks, passing all the way and sweeping away the remnants of the Turks.

The sky was clear and sunny, and the eldest grandson Jun set out from Xiazhou and took thirty people to personally escort the Turks back to Chang'an.

Outside Shuofang, another isolated city of the same kind, the army led by Qin Ming had swept away the few Turkic remnants who had been besieging Shuofang for a long time. Jinyun, on the other hand, disguised himself as a fleeing merchant and took Empress Xiao and her grandson all the way to Chang'an. At dusk, I saw Li Nan waiting there at a fork in the road.

"What about the girl?" Jin Yun was very nervous, and hurriedly ran forward and questioned Li Nan.

Li Nan skimmed and said, "Who knows." ”

"You also said that we were ordered to protect the Nine Girls. Jinyun stomped his feet in anger.

"I know. Li Nan was also very frustrated, "But the ninth girl's order can't be ignored." ”

"Who's with her now?" Jinyun asked.

"Bai Feng. Li Nan whispered.

Jin Yun immediately stared at Li Nan speechlessly. Li Nan was uncomfortable with her.

"Do you think Bai Feng can protect the Ninth Girl?" Jin Yun was about to cry angrily. She was reluctant to leave the Nine Girls before, so she ran here day and night to rescue Empress Xiao and Emperor Yang's grandson. This time out of Shuofang City, Jinyun couldn't wait to fly to the Nine Girls.

"Bai Feng, at least you can fly very high. "Li Nan is a little lacking in confidence.

"Fly high. "Jinyun supports the forehead.

"Oh, does she actually need your protection?" Yun Ge on the side saw that the two of them were so distressed, so he asked.

Li Nan and Jin Yun glanced at Yun Ge together, and then looked at each other, feeling that this seemed to be the case.

"You guys, don't grind and chirp, hurry up and escort people back to Chang'an. This is your main task on this trip. What kind of person is your master, don't you know?

Empress Xiao on the side was also very surprised when she saw this, looked at Yun Ge and said, "I didn't expect that there are parrots with such bloodline in the world, but they are smarter than people." ”

Yun Ge glanced at her, and saw that she was seven or eight points similar to Yang Shufei, so she was sure that this was Empress Xiao, so she said to her, "It's my master who teaches her well." ”

"Your master, the ninth girl?" Empress Xiao was very curious.

"No, it's your grandson. After Yun Ge finished speaking, he hurriedly said that he was tired and had to rest, so he ended this topic.

As for Jiang Chengzi, after giving Jieli an arrow, he originally wanted to go north to kill someone, but after thinking about it, he felt that Li Ke himself would definitely know how to deal with that Yi Nan. He was a vanguard officer, attacked the Turks, and killed him easily, without arousing any suspicions. It's too eye-catching to go so rashly, and it seems to be too much. She didn't need this to make a difference.

So, after leaving Xiazhou City, Jiang Chengzi let Bai Feng turn around and stop to perch in the dense forest near Suizhou. She took advantage of the sunset to catch some fish in the river and feed them to Bai Feng. She herself drank some mountain springs and ate a few pieces of jerky. After that, she laid some soft grass on the trees, sprinkled the powder around her to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, and told the plants to help her keep them. She snuggled up to Bai Feng and slept beautifully.

Early the next morning, after eating some wild fruits, she made a basket out of rattan and laid some hay, so that Bai Feng could sleep in the basket, and she herself ran in the mountains.

If anyone sees it, they will see the windless mountains and forests, and a puff of white smoke will quickly pass by.

After doing this again and again, on the evening of the third day, Jiang Chengzi came to the temple where Yang Shufei prayed for blessings. She waited until midnight before she quietly entered the courtyard and touched Yang Shufei's window.

Yang Shufei hadn't fallen asleep yet, she was chanting. Jiang Chengzi knocked lightly on the window, and Yang Shufei stopped suddenly and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Niangniang, in the lower Yang family's Azhi. She reported herself.

When Yang Shufei heard this, she became suspicious, and asked unhappily, "Who is it?"

"Triumphant. She replied.

Yang Shufei was stunned, but Jiang Chengzi pushed the door in. Presumably Concubine Yang Shufei was waiting for her to come back every night, so at night, when she chanted the scriptures, she dismissed everyone.

". Jiang Chengzi shouted.

"It's really my son. Yang Shufei became excited, looked at her carefully, and was very excited.

Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "I returned triumphantly." ”

"Then, what about Ke'er, what's the way forward?" Yang Shufei hurriedly asked.

"Niangniang is here to pray for blessings, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous. The king of Shu pursued the remnants of the Turks, and Jieli was captured. From then on, the Turks were no longer a scourge. I saw that there was no danger on the side, so I came back first to prepare. After all, I'm afraid that Niangniang won't be able to hide it for long. Jiang Chengzi said.

Yang Shufei took her hand and sat down and said, "Yes." Your Majesty sent someone to ask if you could go to the meeting. ”

"Discussion?" Jiang Chengzi was shocked and asked, "What does Niangniang know?"

Yang Shufei shook her head and said, "I don't know. It's just that my heart is tugging, for fear of revealing my stuffing. Now that you're back, I'm relieved. ”

"Then bother the mother, and go back tomorrow. Jiang Chengzi said.

Yang Shufei nodded, and urged her to take a bath, saying that she smelled all over her body. Jiang Chengzi smelled it, and sure enough, there was a bad smell, and he hurriedly jumped back to his courtyard and called all the palace maids who were keeping vigil to boil water and take a bath.

After taking a shower, I changed into a goose-yellow summer dress, brushed my hair, and sat on the balcony to watch the stars. A few grasses next to her were very attentive to help her catch mosquitoes.

Jiang Chengzi looked at the mysterious starry sky, and there was an unprecedented ease and tranquility.
