Today's guests are a bit much.

"Tell your lordship, the general is here."

There is only one person who is called a general in Zhang Long's mouth...... Lee Chong-run.

This eldest brother has been on the border for a year, controls the military power of the border area, and has fought a few beautiful battles.

Killed the main battle faction of the Turks without any temper...... Of course, there must be the credit of Ashina Qiyun behind this.

In any case, his exploits are obvious to all, and he can be called the god of war in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

The only regret is that he is still stationed in Biansai and has no intention of returning to Luoyang.

The position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty has been empty for almost two years.

Li Ran showed a wry smile on his face, it was not that he didn't want to see Li Chongrun, in fact, the two had already made an appointment to meet.

The agreement to eat mutton outside the Saiwai that day, we both remember it.

The problem is, he really didn't come at the right time......

"I'll pick him up and bring a message to the princess."

Needless to say, in fact, this news was brought to Wu Qingying.

Nominally, she is Li Chongrun's wife...... Although the two have never met, if they bump into each other today, it will be embarrassing to fly.

If it really doesn't work, let the eldest brother delay it for a few days, anyway, hunting outside the plug or something, the days of gangsters are fast.

However, the neighing of a falcon in the distance quickly attracted Li Ran's attention.

“…… What's the situation? Where did this falcon come from? ”

"Miss Wu brought it to the princess." , Zhang Long told the truth, and he was also confused.

Obviously, both underestimated the degree of camaraderie and showmanship between women...... If you have good goods, you can't take them out to dry!

So who says that play must be in the castle?

“…… Brother-in-law's team is also over there. ”

Li Ran suddenly had a toothache, sighed helplessly, and took Zhang Long and a group of guards to the rescue.

You can't let the little daughter-in-law be embarrassed alone.

Obviously, he went at the right time, Xian Hui'er was at a loss, sandwiched between her brother Li Chongrun and Wu Qingying, wanting to reconcile the atmosphere, but both sides were extremely cold, and the air atmosphere was so weird that it exploded.

“…… Brother, it's not the right time for me to come today, so I'll delay for two days and come back to visit. ”

After not seeing him for a long time, Li Chongrun still wears a mask and seems to have become accustomed to this way of life.

He arched his hand towards Li Ran, got on his horse and was about to leave.

Wu Qingying snorted coldly, although the voice was not loud, it made Li Chongrun stop.

She calmly looked directly at Li Chongrun's gaze, not afraid of the murderous intent hidden in her eyes.

"What, the general wants to kill me, a folk girl, but can't you?"

Ignoring Xian Hui'er's sleeves, Wu Qingying said with a straight face, "What crime did the folk girl commit!" ”

Li Chongrun is like a sculpture, after a long time, he turned his head and left.

“…… Don't let me see you again. ”

The cold voice carried a strong hatred.

Li Ran shook his head, it has been two years, and Li Chongrun's hatred for the martial arts family has not been eliminated in the slightest.

It has even worsened over time!

"Hehe, where do you want to go, you don't need to report to the general, right? Or is it that the general has the right to govern my Wuxian county order? ”

Wu Qingying was-for-tat, and she was unhappy, and she was also holding back a fire in her heart.

The two must have no feelings, she used to agree to Li Xian's marriage because she was afraid that the martial arts family would be liquidated, but now that Wu County is developing well, the remaining children of the martial arts family are recuperating enough, and there is no need to maintain their status with a marriage at all.

To put it mildly, Wu County under her rule is full of potential, and she doesn't change the name of a county lord, why climb high branches?

"Alright, you all take a step back."

Li Ran stood up to play a round, he could understand Li Chongrun's mood and Wu Qingying's attitude.

But this marriage contract cannot be returned.

Not to mention the emperor's words, even if Li Xianken changed his words, Li Chongrun and Wu Qingying may not dare to openly propose repentance.

The situation of the two is very delicate.

In fact, Wu Zetian's political legacy resources are very huge, after all, she has been running the government for decades, and her control over the hundreds of officials in the court is much higher than that of Li Xian, and this control includes not only the hundreds of officials in the court, but also the local officials in various state capitals.

In other words, this world is nominally the Tang Dynasty, but the inner shell also has the shadow of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Unless Li Xian completely clears out Wu Zetian's influence after taking a holistic view, the political legacy of the Wu clan will exist for a long time.

Therefore, if Li Chongrun and Wu Qingying openly dissolve the marriage contract, it is equivalent to a break between the descendants of the Li family and the heirs of the Wu family...... This will undoubtedly cause tension among various political factions, which is extremely detrimental to the stability of the imperial court.

At present, Datang is on the rise, and any political instability may affect the fortunes of the country.

“…… Although your relationship is irretrievable, don't fight and kill as soon as you meet, and even in front of outsiders, you have to be more harmonious. ”

Li Ran smiled, believing that both of them were smart people, and the words stopped at the point. "Even, you can consider going to Luoyang together, two months later, it will be the emperor's birthday, if you show up at the same time to celebrate your birthday together, it will be better for each other's future situation."

"Uncle, you can continue to garrison the border fortress and stay as long as you want."

"And Miss Wu, you must be more stable in Wuxian, at least there will be no eyeless Xiaoxiao to provoke your future crown princess candidate."

The peacemaker is not so easy to be, Wu Qingying didn't say a word, pulled Xian Hui'er to the side, and finally didn't expand the situation.

And Li Chongrun didn't seem to care, and he was ready to leave.

“…… Uncle, escaping is not a way. ”

Li Ran grabbed his horse's head and said with a light smile, "There are some things that you don't like to hear, so I have to say them too...... Heart knot, you have to untie it, others can't help you. ”

Li Chongrun laughed, turned over and dismounted, and looked directly into Li Ran's eyes.

“…… Brother, I'm not as lucky as you! ”

He shuddered suddenly, as if he was suppressing an imminent outburst.

"Don't you ask about the world when I'm in the side! Yes, I'm running away, but I never thought I'd run away for the rest of my life, I just needed a little time to heal my wounds, and that's wrong! ”

Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes!

"And what about the court, what did the hundred officials do! What did Wu Zetian do again! They intend to make Li Chongjun the crown prince, hehe, just because I'm an ugly bastard! Unworthy to be an emperor! ”

"In the emperor's heart, you are the only candidate for the crown prince!"

Li Ran shook his head solemnly, he knew that his eldest brother's heart knot was a little demonic, and he was blinded by hatred.

"Hehe, Daddy's attitude? If my father really only considered making me the crown prince, he would have tried his best to eliminate public opinion and clean up all the officials who opposed me. ”

Li Chongrun muttered a sneer, "...... Brother, even you, didn't think about the throne? My little nephew, but Wu Zetian personally named him, his name is Li Zheng, right, soon after he was born, his father pulled him into the origin of the Zongren Mansion! ”

He was so well informed! Moreover, still doubting yourself!

Li Ran was slightly stunned, and then his face turned cold.

“…… Chongrun, believe it or not, I have no interest in the royal struggle for power! ”
