Murderous, a true veteran of a hundred battles.

Even the collar on the military uniform was stained with clotted blood.

How dare the guards at the gate of Jinyang City stop them, and after confirming that they are the officers and soldiers who have quelled the rebellion, they quickly release them.

Huan Yanfan hurriedly burned out of the official office to greet him.

The name given by this cavalry turned out to be ...... Lee Chong-run!

"I don't know if the general is here, please forgive me."

was terrified on the lips, but he had already scolded in his heart, which was like a surprise inspection by the leader, how scary.

“…… It's okay, where is Brother Ran, I want to see him. ”

The sound of the urn is like coming from a stuffy can, and it doesn't sound like a human language at all.

Only then did Huan Yanfan notice that the one in the middle of this group of cavalry was wearing a leather mask!

His heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and Li Chongrun didn't dare to show his true face, so the hurt on his face ......

Since the future prince was injured, he has been wearing bandages when he meets various bureaucrats, and no one has ever seen what he looks like after being injured!

"Shang Shuling is in the yamen, the general please come in."

How dare you say more, quickly throw out the hot potato, as for what will happen after Li Ran and Li Chongrun meet, I don't dare to ask, and I don't want to ask.

When the familiar footsteps reached Li Ran's ears, he just exchanged a penicillin capsule for Wu Qingying and fed it.

The effect of traditional Chinese medicine is too slow, and it is not worth a little money, this future candidate for the head of the martial family, the future crown princess will not survive today.

“…… Ran Brothers. ”

"Uncle, you're here."

After looking at each other and seeing his makeup clearly, Li Ran sighed slightly.

It's a blessing to be alive after being so badly injured, and it's too much to expect anything else.

The two sat down opposite each other and were silent for a few seconds before Li Ran smiled and said, "Master asked me to assist you in cleaning up the mess in Hedong Dao." ”

“…… Dad wants to let go of the remnants of the martial arts. ”

Li Chongrun's hatred comes from the bones, and he tries his best to suppress his heart that is about to explode, "If you don't cut the grass and don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles." ”

"Yes, killing the Wu family is a good choice, but it's not the only one."

It is not difficult to communicate with smart people, and the eldest brother is undoubtedly a smart person, but he lacks reason under anger.

"The master has just succeeded to the throne and is in urgent need of popularity, so he pardoned some of the remaining sins of the martial family, which is actually to show his generosity and benevolence to the ministers, and there are many courtiers who have taken refuge in the martial family over the years, and letting go of some remnants of the martial family is equivalent to letting go of these courtiers."

Li Ran took a deep breath, "This rebellion lasted for several months, almost letting foreigners come in, and the impact on the stability of Datang was no less than the great earthquake in Jizhou, so it is also a good choice to exchange the minimum price for the fastest restoration of order." ”

"I know you're psychologically uncomfortable, you've been fighting for so long, you've died so many brothers, and you're about to clean up all the traitors, but the last step is a gentle strategy, and a large part of the blood you paid before is equivalent to wasting."

"But a hearty victory doesn't mean maximizing profits."

Li Ran believed that these reasons were enough to convince his uncle to change his mind.

After all, he will also ascend the throne in the future, and a Tang Dynasty with constant hidden dangers is definitely not what he wants to see.

There was a long silence in the room.

I could only hear Li Chongrun's rapid breathing from time to time, and it was obvious that he was suppressing the emotions in his heart...... Reason and irritability are constantly in conflict, and there is some hatred, which is not meant to be put down.

“…… The family affairs arranged by the master for you, you must still remember. ”

Li Ran broke the strange atmosphere.

The eldest brother needs a chance to suppress his inner emotions, and obviously, this marriage is a good reason.

"If you can marry Wu Qingying regardless of your previous suspicions, it will be very helpful for your popularity in the court."

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and the political legacy left by the Wu family will be inherited by Wu Qingying and other three brothers in the future, which is a great wealth.

And Wu Zetian will also tilt the various resources she left behind to this little grandniece.

Li Chongrun will definitely settle this account.

Sure enough, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he laughed.

“…… If I am like this, no matter how high the people in the court are, what is the use? ”

Li Chongrun slowly took off his mask, and after Li Ran saw his appearance, the corners of his eyes trembled involuntarily.

Epic disfigurement...... I can't describe the sense of disobedience.

If you look at it a few more times, the whole person will have an uncomfortable physiological reaction and want to vomit.

"Look, even you can't stand it, how can those courtiers allow an ugly monster to be the emperor?"

Li Chongrun put on his mask again, and his words were full of indignation and sadness.

“…… They'll vote with their feet, as long as you're good enough. ”

Recovering from the shock, Li Ran looked serious, "If you can ascend to the throne just by looking at your face, then the courtiers should have praised Zhang Yizhi as the emperor a long time ago, right?" ”

The witty words made Li Chongrun's mood a little better, and the sunshine given in despair was extraordinarily brilliant.

"I can't talk about you, I can't beat my father, and I can't reverse the decision...... That's it, I'm here today to say sorry to you, I'm sorry, I missed the meal of mutton on the winter solstice. ”

"It's okay, there are still many opportunities to eat mutton in the future, if you want, you can even go further away to taste the local customs, what Goguryeo, Silla, Persia, etc., after all, the whole world is not the king's land."

Li Ran knew what he was regretting, but the last thing that a rising Tang Dynasty lacked was to clean up the foreign clans, if the eldest brother really had a heart, there would be too many opportunities to deal with the Hu people in the future.

"Okay, I promise you."

Li Chongrun nodded happily and took out the tiger talisman from his arms, "The affairs of Hedong Dao will be handled by you with full authority, I am also tired after a few months of fighting...... See you in Luoyang City. ”

He actually resigned!

Li Ran was slightly stunned, and then realized in his heart.

If he can persuade Li Ran to overturn his father's decision, he will completely solve the remnants of the martial family, even if he will not hesitate to take all the responsibility on his head, if he can't, he will give up his military power and give up his obsession with revenge.

can afford to take it, can put it down, and deserves to be a first-class smart person.

"Okay, let's see you in Luoyang City."

Li Ran solemnly accepted the tiger talisman and didn't keep him, just smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Wu Qingying yet, do you want to ......?"

"Not necessarily."

Li Chongrun shook his head and dragged his stump away slowly.

Cold rejection, no room for error.

Neither of them noticed that the curtain in the back hall moved slightly, and there was the room where Wu Qingying was recuperating...... Obviously, all the conversations this girl heard clearly.

Li Chongrun came and went quickly, Huan Yanfan had just ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet, but before the pig was killed, the guests left.

"General, is he ......", he was very frightened, for fear that there would be some conflict between him and Li Ran on his own territory, and that would be a big sin.

"No, don't think about it."

Li Ran didn't explain much, and decided to rot today's events in his stomach.

Deal with the endgame and start right away.
