"Son-in-law, see father! I've seen the queen mother! ”

Li Zheng Palace, after hearing the words of the chamberlain, Li Tai walked in quickly, and then bowed to Li Er and Empress Changsun, who were sitting on the top.

"Excuse me!"

Li Er waved his hand and couldn't wait to ask, "Qingque, why did you go back to Chang'an?" What is the current situation on Yunshan? ”

Li Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he arched his hand: "Back to my father, the witch tribulation has escaped from Yunshan, and at this moment, General Qiu and Chief Manager Zhao are leading troops to encircle and intercept along the way!" ”

"Escaped?"

Li Er's old face was gloomy and dripping with water in an instant, and he stood up and said, "Why can't Dugu Xin's two thousand forbidden troops last until the reinforcements of the I faction arrive?" Just one witch robbery, can't two thousand forbidden troops be trapped? ”

Subconsciously, Li Er thought that the main reason for the escape of the witch robbery was that Dugu Xindu was not effective, so his face would naturally not look good.

Li Tai is still a righteous person, the two brothers of the Dugu family worked hard for Yanhuang Academy and were seriously injured one after another, but he saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, so when he heard Li Er's dissatisfaction with Dugu Xin's words, Li Tai hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself:

"Father, it's not that General Dugu is dying, but that the mountain chief doesn't want to see too many people killed or injured because of the materials of the academy, so he ordered everyone to let the witch robber leave!"

Li Er raised his eyebrows, his complexion changed, and he said angrily: "Bastard! The books and manuscripts of the academy are all confidential to my Tang Dynasty, how can he, Li Zexuan, give them to the Turks? What is this kid's heart? ”

Although Li Er has always admired Li Zexuan, but today Li Zexuan actually let people let go of the witch robbery, which made Li Er quite annoyed, if Li Zexuan was in this hall at this moment, Lao Li would have to let people beat him to thirty boards and put him in the prison!

"Your Majesty, don't be annoyed!"

The eldest grandson queen on the side was busy at this time: "Yong'an Hou is kind-hearted, but he just doesn't want to see more innocent sacrifices, and I hope Your Majesty won't blame him!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun didn't have much ill feelings towards Li Zexuan's move, on the contrary, she also faintly admired Li Zexuan, in his opinion, kind-hearted people can only rest assured!

Li Er snorted coldly and said in displeasure: "What innocent sacrifice? Pedantic! In order to prevent these books from the academy from flowing into the Turks, even if it is worth sacrificing 5,000 people! If the Turks were allowed to master the advanced technology of Yanhuang Academy, in the future, when the Tang Dynasty and the Turks went to war, dozens of times more Hao'er Lang would die on the battlefield than the current one! ”

The emperor is always iron-blooded and ruthless, but at the same time, Li Er's vision is also long-term, he and Li Zexuan can't say who is right and who is wrong, they can only say that they have their own considerations! In Li Er's eyes, the books and materials of the academy were more important than everything, because he had seen the magic of the telegraph machine, and even more the horror of gunpowder, and he deeply understood that if the technology of the academy fell into the hands of the Turks, it would definitely bring a devastating disaster to the Tang Dynasty!

Li Tai was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand: "Father, the mountain chief said on the telegraph machine that the secret documents of the academy will be lost if they are lost, as long as he is there, as long as there are teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy, these documents can be written again, and the academy can create greater brilliance!"

In tonight's battle, Mr. Mo and Mr. Zhang San were seriously injured, more than a dozen college guards were killed and wounded, and many students were injured, even Mr. Wen Ji was slightly injured! If the mountain chief does not give the order to let the witch tribulation leave, with the strength of the witch tribulation, if he is bent on doing something to the helpless students and teachers in the academy, then no one will be able to stop him, and the teachers and students of the academy will definitely suffer heavy losses!

Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, the mountain chief said, today's hatred, when he comes back, he will be doubled! At that time, the two Dugu generals and Mr. Mo and Mr. Zhang San of the academy were all seriously injured, if they continued to force the witch robbery, there would be a river of blood on the cloud mountain, so the son felt that there was nothing wrong with the mountain chief's move, and he also hoped that his father would be clear! ”

With that, Li Tai's body bowed to the end, and the hall instantly fell silent.

Li Er looked at Li Tai fixedly, and after a while, he said angrily: "Qingque, you have been in Yanhuang Academy for less than a year, and now you are talking for Li Zexuan's kid like this?" Do you dare to disobey even what I mean? ”

Lao Li's mood at the moment is complicated, on the one hand, he feels that what Li Tai said is not all unreasonable, tonight's situation in Yunshan, if he is forced to stay in the witch robbery, it is bound to make the witch robber dog jump off the wall and shoot at the teachers and students of the academy who are powerless, but on the one hand, Lao Li is also a little surprised in his heart, the little fat man in front of him is his most beloved son, but now he is helping others to speak, which makes him, a father, can he be happy in his heart?

Li Tai bowed down and said: "Erchen is not helping the mountain chief to speak, but the situation at that time, the mountain chief's decision is undoubtedly the most correct!" More than ten days ago, the mountain chief and Mr. Zhang San left Yunshan one after another, the Yanhuang Academy, which originally had three grandmasters and masters, was left with only Mr. Mo alone in an instant, although Mr. Zhang San unexpectedly returned to help tonight, but when he arrived, Mr. Mo was already seriously injured, so the witch robbery could kill all sides in the academy, in this case, in addition to letting him leave Yunshan, we have no better choice! Please also ask the emperor to see the emperor! ”

Hearing this, Li Er finally fell silent!

The eldest grandson empress on the side was puzzled: "Mr. Zhang San? Qingque, if the queen mother remembers correctly, didn't Mr. Zhang San of your academy leave the academy and set sail for the sea a few days ago? ”

Li Tai replied: "After returning to his mother, Mr. Zhang San wanted to go to sea before, but before leaving, he was always restless, thinking that there were many secrets coveted by the world on the cloud mountain, so he kept an eye on it, and stayed around the academy for a few more days, for four whole days, it was calm, and on the fifth day, when Mr. Zhang San was about to leave completely, he suddenly felt that there was a breath of air that was like nothing, and locked the academy, Mr. Zhang San felt that it was a little abnormal, so he postponed the plan to go to sea, so he encountered today's witch robbery night attack on the academy! ”

"I see!"

Empress Changsun nodded thoughtfully, and sighed with satisfaction: "I have heard that Mr. Zhang San is chivalrous, last year he was forced to agree to the condition that your mountain chief should be stationed in Yunshan for one year, but I didn't expect that until the time of parting, he could still be born and die for the academy, and the chivalrous name of the three heroes of the wind and dust is really worthy of the name!" ”

Li Tai responded: "What the queen mother said! If Mr. Zhang San hadn't rushed back in time tonight, Mr. Wang Ji of the academy would have been poisoned by witch robbery! ”

"Humph! In any case, those things of the academy cannot fall into the hands of the Turks! Send a telegram to inform Li Zexuan that he is responsible for the disaster he broke through, and he must take back what he took away from the witchcraft! ”

At this moment, Li Er snorted coldly and interrupted.

The words revealed that there was no need to be denied, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn.

Li Tai couldn't help but sink in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded: "Father, don't do it!" Erchen heard Mr. Mo mention that the mountain chief is only in the middle stage of the grandmaster, and the witch tribulation is the realm of the great grandmaster, you let the mountain chief go after the witch tribulation, didn't you let him go to death? The son-in-law asks his father to think twice! ”

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but have a trace of anxiety flashing on her face, but she didn't say anything, presumably because she felt that with Li Er's favor and trust in Li Zexuan, she would definitely not send Li Zexuan to death.

Sure enough, hearing this, Li Er raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said that I wanted him to go alone?" I will order all the soldiers and horses of the state capital along the way to be controlled by him, not only to recapture the academy materials, but also to completely leave the witch robbery in the Tang Dynasty! ”

Let the soldiers and horses of more than ten states between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks be controlled by one person, Li Er's arrangement is completely out of trust in Li Zexuan, otherwise he would not have been able to hand over more than 100,000 troops to a non-royal member so easily.

After hearing this, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "But the mountain chief has now rushed back to Chang'an City from Shouyang County, the people and horses are bumpy, and the son is sending a telegram now, and the mountain chief may not be able to detect it!" ”

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Then send it until he can perceive it!" In any case, the Turkic National Teacher must not be allowed to leave Datang with the top secret information of the academy! In addition, I will send the forbidden army and the hundred cavalry to pursue along the way, and cooperate with Li Zexuan to win the witch robbery! ”

Li Tai knew that there was no room for things to turn around, and besides, this result seemed to be the best result, so he bowed down and said, "Erchen obeys the order!" ”

After the words fell, seeing that Li Er had no other instructions, Li Tai hurriedly retired and left the Lizheng Palace. Now he had to return to Yanhuang Academy as soon as possible and send what Li Er had said to Li Zexuan through the telegraph.

However, Li Tai also knew in his heart that for Li Zexuan in the future, there would be several quite difficult battles, and if he was not careful, he would die! Don't look at Li Er's order to let the soldiers and horses of the state capitals along the way be controlled by Li Zexuan, but when it comes to the real fight, the role of the soldiers and horses of the state capital is very limited, just like the big battle in front of the mountain gate of Fangcai Academy, the power of one person killed the Quartet, although the forbidden army is well-trained, but it has not been able to form an effective encirclement of the witch robbery, and the two thousand forbidden troops cannot exert their full combat power at all!

In comparison, the soldiers and horses of the local state capital are definitely not as elite as the forbidden army, and the help to Li Zexuan is even more limited, unless the witch robbery stands still, waiting for the officers and soldiers of the state capital to completely form a siege around him, in that case, he may be consumed to death by the local soldiers and horses!

But is that possible? Apparently impossible! Once he found out that there were soldiers and horses around, Wu Zheng's first reaction would definitely be to use light exercises to get rid of the encirclement, and he would not give the army a chance to surround him at all!

Therefore, in the battle with the witch tribulation, the key to victory or defeat lies in the duel between the top masters, if the cutting-edge combat power of the Tang Dynasty can effectively contain the witch tribulation and create an opportunity for the state capital soldiers and horses to encircle, it is still very hopeful to defeat the Turks!

…………………………………

"The Turkic national division has serious physical exertion, and he has also suffered some injuries, so he will definitely not be able to run far for a while! Search! ”

Lantian County, at the foot of Yunshan Mountain, Zhao Song took thousands of forbidden troops and searched for the whereabouts of the witch robbery with torches, including the more than 1,000 forbidden troops left on Yunshan before, who also joined the search team! There are bright torches everywhere around Yunshan, and from a distance, it looks like fire dragons are dancing at the foot of Yunshan!

"General Dugu, you immediately take people to the county seat of Lantian County, and inform He County that there are officials in the police to guard the city gate, so as to prevent the witch robbery from sneaking into the county seat and harming the people!"

Zhao Song rode forward and said to Dugu Xin.

As for Qiu Xinggong, at this time, he had already taken a hundred horsemen and fast horses to the states and counties that must pass through to return to the Turks, and he had to go in advance to inform the states and counties along the way to step up the fortification, and once the witch robbery passed, he must immediately send troops to besiege it!

Dugu Xin had just lost his true qi in the battle, and he also suffered internal injuries, but he couldn't entangle the witch tribulation, and he felt very guilty, so after simply recuperating his injuries, he also followed Zhao Song to search for the witch tribulation.

“… The last will obey! ”

Dugu Xin hugged his fists, turned his horse's head, and ran towards Yunshan.

Yunshan made a big move here, and launched a carpet search around, such a big movement, it is naturally impossible not to be discovered, those farmers who got up at night in Meicun and Hanjiazhuang, after seeing the next piece of torches, were shocked:

"Boss! Come out and see! Is there something wrong with Yunshan? ”

"Hmm! In the middle of the night, what can happen? Don't look! ”

"Something happened! You see there are a lot of torches at the foot of Yunshan Mountain! ”

"A lot of torches? I'll go out and see...... Oh my God, there are so many torches? Isn't it a mountain bandit somewhere who ransacked Yanhuang Academy? No, I'll have to go over and see for myself! ”

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"What else can be done? Go help! Not only did I go by myself, but I also had to call the rest of the Zhuangzi to go with me! If there are really mountain bandits who dare to besiege Yunshan, we can also exert our strength, right? ”

"Boss, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"Phew! You know what? Hou Ye is exterminating locusts outside, and we, the farmers, should help Hou Ye protect Yanhuang Academy! Okay, I won't ink with you, go get me a hoe, I'll call someone! ”

A similar scene was played out everywhere, and after half an hour, almost every house in the two villages was lit up, and then two teams of young men were seen, each carrying shovels, hoes, and other "weapons", towards the torches not far away.

"Report~!"

"Manager Zhao, the villagers of Hanjiazhuang and Meicun saw the fire on our side, and thought that Yanhuang Academy had encountered robbers, so they came to help!"

The scope of the search was slowly expanding, and at this moment, a forbidden army trotted over and bowed to Zhao Song.

Zhao Song frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Inform the villagers, saying that the Turkic National Teacher sneaked into the academy tonight, and let them call on the surrounding people to search together, if they find the trace of the Turkic National Teacher, they will be rewarded!" ”

"Yes!"

The Praetorian took the order.

Zhao Song shouted to the rest of the forbidden troops around him: "Keep your eyes bright, see if there are any fresh blood stains or trampling marks around, before dawn, you must search the entire Lantian County!" ”
