Li An ordered not to pursue the assassins, first, because he was worried that there were other assassins nearby, in case he was transferred from the mountain, Yu Chengjie's life would be difficult to guarantee, and second, he knew the identity of these assassins, most of these assassins were loyal ministers of the Five Edicts, and it was useless to kill them.

Yu Chengjie's four personal guards are mainly responsible for ensuring the safety of Yu Chengjie's life, and if Ang Lee does not pursue the assassins, it is even more impossible for them to pursue the assassins, which can be regarded as the fate of the five assassins and they can escape unrestrained.

"The general is?"

"Li An, the captain of the Tang Right Dragon Martial Army, is here to meet the second prince of Nanzhao."

Li An is neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice is like a bell.

Yu Chengjie, who was hiding under the bed, and the three entourages gathered by the bed, all heard clearly, it was Li An, that's right, it was the Tang military captain who was going to escort them to the capital.

"Second Prince, Captain Li is here, come out quickly!"

The three entourages stretched out their hands to pull Yu Chengjie, after all, Li An was outside, if Li An saw Yu Chengjie hiding under the bed, it would be a very shameful thing, and it would not only be the face of Yu Chengjie and several entourage, but the entire Nanzhao Kingdom would be embarrassed.

"Assassins, are all the Assassins gone?"

Yu Chengjie had some palpitations.

"Second Prince, the assassin was already beaten away by Captain Li, and we are already safe."

"Second Prince, come out quickly! If you let Captain Li see ......"

Yu Chengjie let out a big sigh when he heard that the assassin had been beaten away, and it was only at this point that he suddenly realized that he was actually hiding under the bed, which made him feel very shameless.

"Why did Xiao Wang run under the bed, what's going on? Pull Xiao Wang out. ”

Yu Chengjie pretended to be confused, hurriedly dragged the hands of several entourage, climbed out of the bed, and quickly tidied up his clothes, posing like a prince.

"Second prince, Captain Li asks to see you."

Yu Chengjie shook his shirt, sat cross-legged on the throne, and pursed his lips: "Let him come in!" ”

"Captain Li, please come inside."

Li An glanced at Kunxiong and Feiyu, told them to stay outside the door, and walked in alone.

"Li An, the captain of the Tang Right Dragon Martial Army, meet the second prince."

Li An was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed to Yu Chengjie.

Yu Chengjie looked at Li An casually, paused, and said softly: "Xiao Wang has been waiting in Yizhou City for three whole days, and finally has Captain Li here, now it's okay, we can set off for Chang'an City immediately." ”

"Second prince, this time I only led a small number of soldiers and horses to arrive in Yizhou City first, and most of the people and horses will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and I hope that the second prince will stay in Yizhou City for one more day."

"One more day?"

Yu Chengjie was very dissatisfied, and looked at Li An: "Xiao Wang waited in Yizhou City for three days, and waited for all the assassins, but he still has to wait for another day, hum......"

The tone was quite arrogant, of course, Yu Chengjie did this in order to establish his authority in front of Li An, so that he could point fingers at Li An along the way.

Li An smiled faintly: "If the second prince stays in the post house honestly, the assassin will always have great ability and will not dare to assassinate the second prince." ”

"What does Captain Li mean?"

Yu Chengjie glared angrily at Li An.

How could Li An be afraid of him, Zhengse said: "If the humble position is expected, the assassin should have expected that the second prince would go to the Spring Boudoir Tower, so he set up an ambush near the Spring Boudoir Tower one step earlier, if it weren't for the four strong guards with martial arts around the second prince, I'm afraid that these assassins would have succeeded." ”

After speaking, he looked at these guards with appreciation, and these guards also looked at Li An with the same eyes, after all, Li An's performance just now, these four guards were in their eyes, and they admired Li An's strong martial arts.

Yu Chengjie didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Li An's words, but looked at the four guards beside him triumphantly, and said proudly: "These four guards are all warriors in my Nanzhao Palace, and they were specially sent by my father to protect Xiao Wang before leaving. ”

When Li An heard this, he felt a little in his heart, Pi Luo Ge unified the six edicts by force, and set a fire in Songming Tower, burning the five edict masters, so Pi Luo Ge should be very clear in his heart that among the five edicts, there should be many people who want to put him to death.

In order to protect his son from being assassinated, he handed over the four warriors around him to Yu Chengjie, and asked them to fully protect Yu Chengjie's safety, and this seems to show that Pi Luo Ge still loves Yu Chengjie very much, at least I hope he lives well.

'Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, as parents, there is no one who does not love their children. ’

Li Ang understood this sentence more deeply at this moment.

At the same time, Pi Luoge's love for Yu Chengjie is also a good thing for Li An, which can somewhat increase Yu Chengjie's chances of winning the throne, so that Nanzhao will be ruled by a less capable person, so that it will not pose any threat to the Tang Empire.

"It turns out that the king of Yunnan has been prepared for a long time, and he actually sent the warriors around him to protect the second prince, so it seems that the second prince is deeply favored by the king of Yunnan, and he will definitely be able to inherit the title of the king of Yunnan in the future."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to praise and test Yu Chengjie's reaction.

Sure enough, Yu Chengjie and the entourage and guards around him all changed their faces.

Inheriting the title of King of Yunnan is an extremely sensitive topic in Nanzhao, and almost everyone dare not talk about it openly, but Li An actually said it casually, which naturally made them very nervous and vigilant.

Yu Chengjie squinted, looked at Li An suspiciously, paused, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Captain Li is really good at laughing, my father's title belongs to the eldest prince, how dare the little king hope for it." ”

"Not really."

Li An waved his hand and said seriously: "Since ancient times, the most important thing in the inheritance of the throne is nothing more than the bloodline, the descendants and the eldest and youngest, and among these three points, the most important is naturally the bloodline, the closer to the monarch's bloodline, the more qualified to inherit the throne, and then the order of the descendants and the eldest and youngest can be considered." ”

Several of Yu Chengjie's entourage and four guards were all holding their breath in shock, they didn't understand what Li An wanted to do, why they talked about such a sensitive topic as soon as they met, so that they were a little caught off guard, but it was not easy to oppose it directly.

Seeing that the people in the room were a little panicked, Li An let go of his courage and continued: "I don't know Nanzhao very well, but I also heard that the eldest prince is not born to the king of Yunnan, how can such an outsider be qualified to inherit the title of king of Yunnan." ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Captain Li said cautiously, this is my internal affairs of Nanzhao, and it is better for Captain Li not to ask. ”

One of the attendants was worried that if he continued to talk about it, it would be a conspiracy to seize the throne, so he hurriedly spoke up to stop it.

Yu Chengjie was also worried that the four guards given to him by his father had the task of monitoring him, and he hurriedly said: "Captain Li, Xiao Wang and you hit it off at first sight, let's not talk about these heavy topics, drink, drink, get drunk, hahaha!" ”

"Okay, since the second prince is so interested, he is humble and accompanied, but the humble chief is so big, he has never been drunk."

"Hahaha! Okay, Captain Li's friend, Xiao Wang has made a deal. ”

Yu Chengjie changed his arrogant attitude at the beginning and was very enthusiastic about Ang Lee, of course, this is mainly because there is an obvious bias in the sensitive topics mentioned by Ang Lee, that is, Yu Chengjie obviously feels that Ang Lee supports him.

And Yu Chengjie also knows that he does not have much advantage in competing for the throne, the eldest prince Ge Luofeng has made many contributions to the country, and has a lot of prestige in the army and the court, and if he wants to confront Ge Luofeng, it is particularly important to get the support of the Tang court.

This time, he took the initiative to ask Ying and asked to go to Chang'an City, which was to follow the advice of the strategists, and take advantage of the great opportunity to ask for the life of Pi Luo Ge, to move around Chang'an City, seeking the support of the Tang Dynasty for his succession, and Li An in front of him took the initiative to support his succession, which naturally made Yu Chengjie very happy.

Li An is just a small lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty, and his position is not high, but Li An's exploits, Yu Chengjie still heard a little, he believes that Li An will have a bright future in the future, and making friends with such a Tang general who supports him and has a bright future is naturally the best thing for Chengjie.

Of course, Li An chose to support Yu Chengjie because Yu Chengjie was not bold enough and his governing ability was far inferior to Ge Luofeng, and choosing such a person to inherit the throne of Nanzhao was extremely beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

Both sides take what they need, and let Yu Chengjie inherit the throne of Nanzhao, which is in line with the common interests of both parties, and Yu Chengjie seems to understand this in his heart, so he dares to go to Chang'an City boldly to seek the support of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't tolerate Nanzhao's country being handed over to an outsider.

In order to have a good time, Yu Chengjie chose a private room by the window alone, and let four guards guard outside the door, while three henchmen stayed in another room and drank with Kunxiong and Feiyu.

After the assassination of the Spring Boudoir Tower, in a very short period of time, hundreds of Tang soldiers and horses in the city arrived here, and the inside and outside of the Spring Boudoir Tower were so tight that almost not even a fly could fly in, so Yu Chengjie did not have to worry about his own safety.

Li An was born with a good physique, a large amount of alcohol, and belonged to the type of a thousand glasses that were not drunk, while Yu Chengjie had been in the wine field for many years, and he had also practiced a good amount of alcohol.

Alcohol stimulates people's nerves, can make people excited, and can make people say things that they would not normally dare to say.

After Yu Chengjie drank high, he couldn't control his tone, and complained in front of Li An from time to time, and complained that his father had adopted Ge Luofeng, a wild child, so that he who should have inherited the throne very easily, became extremely passive, and it was even very likely that he would eventually lose the inheritance to the throne.

When Yu Chengjie was depressed, it was also the most vulnerable time, and Ang Lee seized this opportunity and boldly stated that he would always support Yu Chengjie to maintain the historical tradition of bloodline inheritance.

As the second prince of Nanzhao, Yu Chengjie has no doubt about Li An's motives for supporting him, of course, it doesn't matter if he knows Li An's motives, his goal is to seize the inheritance of Nanzhao's throne, as for other things, there is no need to be overly concerned.

"Captain Li, Xiao Wang will tell you something from the bottom of my heart today."

Yu Chengjie looked at Li An with a drunken face: "Xiao Wang does not have great talent, and his talent is even less than that of Ge Luofeng, but Xiao Wang's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is something that can be learned from heaven and earth, if Xiao Wang can really inherit the title of King of Yunnan, Xiao Wang must only be the head of the Tang Dynasty and be a good courtier." ”

Li Anke will not believe in Yu Chengjie's sincerity at will, but Yu Chengjie's qualifications are mediocre, even if he has different intentions for Datang, he is not capable of posing a substantial threat to Datang, Yu Chengjie is still very reassuring to Li Anjie.

"What the second prince said is that although the humble official position is humble, like the second prince, he is also loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and both the humble position and the second prince are loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

Li An followed Yu Chengjie's intentions, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.

"Yes, yes, what Captain Li said is so good, Xiao Wang and Captain Li are both loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are both loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty, hahaha!"

Yu Chengjie smiled all over his face to express his loyalty to Datang.

Li An smiled indifferently and looked at Yu Chengjie: "The second prince is going to Chang'an City this time, there is something important to do!" ”

Yu Chengjie nodded lightly, and pretended to be sincere: "Captain Li should have heard that the great clan of the Tang Dynasty planned to return to the king, and the people of the Great Clan of the Tang Dynasty planned to return to the king, and the people who built the city of the Tang Dynasty Zhu Lingqian, and openly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Oh, from this point of view, the king of Yunnan is really a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li An smiled indifferently and stared at Yu Chengjie's eyes tightly.

Yu Chengjie frowned: "Captain Li, since my ancestor Shelong, I have always been loyal to Datang, and I have never done anything to be sorry for Datang, this, Captain Li should be very clear!" ”

Li An smiled lightly: "The edicts of the Southern Zhao Dynasty are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and of course the lowly position is clear, but this time the King of Yunnan took the initiative to ask Ying and proposed to lead the army to crusade against the land, is it just to share the worries of the Tang Emperor?" ”

"What does Captain Li mean? Why did Xiao Wang become more confused the more he listened. ”

Yu Chengjie's eyes flickered slightly.

Li An stared at Yu Chengjie's eyes, and said word by word: "I want to say that on the day of the turmoil in the pacification of the land, the land will be the state and county of the Tang Dynasty or the land of Nanzhao." ”

"This ......"

Yu Chengjie's eyes were suddenly flustered, paused, and said with a smile: "Captain Li is really good at laughing, the entire land of Nanzhao is the country of the Tang Dynasty, and of course the land is also of the Tang Dynasty, what, Captain Li doubts my Nanzhao's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Although he tried his best to explain, Yu Chengjie knew very well in his heart that his father Pi Luoge did have the ambition to annex the land, as the second prince of Nanzhao, it was impossible for him not to know about this matter, and Li An in front of him could actually see through this, which made him feel quite surprised, and at the same time, he also realized that Li An was much more shrewd than he imagined, and it was not so easy to deceive Li An.

Li An saw the answer from Yu Chengjie's flustered eyes, paused, and said softly: "There is no malice in the humble position, I just want to tell the second prince that the land will always be the county of Tang Prefecture, and this can never be changed." (To be continued.) )
