All the ......

The sound of countless iron hooves striking the earth shook people's hearts like thunder in the sky.

Li Chengqian, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is very familiar with this kind of sound, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the sound of the Tang cavalry galloping on horseback.

Li Chengqian's heart was overjoyed at first, but he immediately calmed down, turned around, and said to Brother Cave and Su Zhi with an indifferent expression: "The two Qing families don't have to worry anymore, the following matters will be handed over to Datang!" ”

Su Zhi, who had already understood what was going on, ignored the injuries on his body when he heard this, and was about to get up and beg Li Chengqian for mercy, but he was seriously injured, and when he moved slightly, he felt that his back hurt like a heart, and he fell directly to the ground unsteadily.

Even so, Su Zhi still didn't care about his face, and just begged Li Chengqian for mercy: "His Royal Highness the Prince, they are all confused for a while, and they have no malicious intent, I just ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare them once for their small achievements in helping the Tang Dynasty break through Fuyu City and hunting down and killing Helu for His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Li Chengqian in a five-body posture.

Brother Cave, who was still lying on the single frame, also reacted, but it was different from Su Zhi's pleading, and Brother Cave argued loudly: "Even if the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty comes, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kill these meritorious people?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not afraid of chilling people's hearts, and no one will be willing to work for Datang in the future?"

Li Chengqian laughed when he saw this: "The two Qing families are too worried, how can the lonely king kill loyal ministers at will, at most he will only kill a few rebellious people and clean up the portal for the two Qing families." ”

Seeing Li Chengqian's decision, Brother Cave gritted his teeth and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to kill the heroes?"

Li Chengqian suddenly lowered his face and asked in a cold voice, "Who is the hero of the Lone King?" People who don't care about it don't count. ”

Brother Cave looked at Li Chengqian with wide eyes, couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally just closed his eyes stubbornly.

Li Chengqian knew that Xue Rengui was coming, and the stone in his heart was put down, and he was about to go crazy with torture in these precarious days.

Although the Khitan and Xi tribes sent troops to defeat the Turkic soldiers, the cave brothers and Su Zhi had been tempting the Tang army since they entered Fuyu City.

Li Chengqian's hatred for the two people was only much more than his hatred for He Lu, if it weren't for the fact that these two people had made great achievements on the surface and would have used them later, Li Chengqian really wanted to kill these two people now.

Whew......

There was a rush of footsteps.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look and saw that Duan Shaolong, who was neatly dressed, was walking quickly, Li Chengqian guessed what was going on, and waited calmly on his face.

Duan Shaolong knelt down on one knee in front of Li Chengqian, and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, General Xue led 30,000 elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to escort him. ”

You can tell from his voice that he is in a very uplifted mood at this time.

When the generals at the head of the city heard the exact news, they were also very excited, and they could not hide their excitement when they looked at each other.

"Good!"

Li Chengqian drank lightly, and slowly walked down the city tower on crutches.

There is no longer a need for Li Chengqian to take charge of it himself.

What conspiracy?

What is the performance of calmness?

It is not as useful as the 30,000 Tang Tiger and Wolf Army to raise the Xueliang Tang Knife.

Li Chengqian walked very calmly and slowly, Liu Kui bent down and followed him, with a feather fan and umbrella cover

The honor guard followed behind him, as if he was walking through the back garden of the East Palace.

"Kill—"

When Li Chengqian slowly walked back to his residence, there was a shouting and killing sound outside the city, which was the sound of the Tang army led by Xue Rengui and the grassland warriors fighting.

Li Chengqian knew that the battle would end soon, and he was going back to Chang'an......

"Liu Kui!"

"The slave is here!" Liu Kui hurriedly responded.

"How happened to the 'empty city plan' that the Lone King asked you to platoon a few days ago?"

Liu Kui smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "The play made up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good, but, it's just that His Royal Highness the Prince, your identity is too noble, and no one dares to act at all." The slave maid can only order those storytellers to memorize it, just waiting for the order of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, and muttered: "It can only be like this, but there are too few offerings here, when the lonely king sets up, you send someone to send them to Yandu first, and order all the offerings in Yandu to start carrying this empty city plan." ”

"Slave obeys!" Liu Kui said carefully.

Li Chengqian nodded, thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and ordered coldly: "Spread the will of King Gu: Spread Lu Yao's head to all armies, so that all armies know that this time the Turkic Helu led the army to besiege King Lone is the road led by Lu Yao, the son-in-law of the former eldest grandson family." ”

Lu was cut down by He Lu that day, and his body was discarded outside Fuyu City, and after He Lu withdrew from the army, Li Chengqian ordered someone to find his body back.

On the same day, he was recognized by the soldiers of Hebei Province in the army as Lu Chengsi's nephew Lu Yao, that is, the son of the Lu family who married the daughter of the eldest grandson Wuji five years ago.

When the Lu family was robbed, Lu Yao went to Luoyang to welcome his relatives, but he was not in Fan Yang's ancestral house, and later disappeared inexplicably.

Interestingly, after the eldest grandson Wuji was severely punished by Li Shimin, he thought about it behind closed doors at home, and the daughter of the Lu family who married Fanyang has lived in Luoyang since then.

Five years have passed, and the eldest grandson Wuji has not proposed marriage to her again, nor has he come to the door to ask for marriage.

People don't know how to characterize her identity, so they live in a manor in Luoyang so awkwardly.

Now it's okay, Li Chengqian is just holding Lu Yao's head and confirming his identity as the son-in-law of his eldest grandson Wuji.

After Li Chengqian explained this matter, he watched Liu Kui hurriedly go out to pass his life.

Suddenly a wave of tiredness hit, feeling lazy all over, Li Chengqian showed a tired smile on his face. Li Chengqian got up and walked to the bed, lay down in his clothes, and gently closed his eyes. Listening to the sound of tearing outside the city, the sound seemed to slowly move away from him, and he finally fell asleep.

This night, Li Chengqian slept very deeply, and he didn't wake up until sunset.

The waiter helped Li Chengqian up, and Liu Kui hurriedly handed over the hot hand towel.

"There is no sound outside the city, Xue Rengui has already swept away all the rebels outside the city?" Li Chengqian took the hot hand towel and did not wipe his face first, but first asked about the battle situation outside the city.

"General Xue swept away the rebellion outside the city at noon, and the strong parts of the Khitan and Xi tribes were all surrendered." Liu Kui replied.

"Hmm!"

Li Chengqian wiped his face with a handkerchief after hearing this, then threw the towel to another chamberlain, took a sip of mouthwash in Liu Kui's hand, and kept shaking the mouthwash in his mouth, while getting up and slowly walking forward a few steps, moving his muscles and bones.

After washing his hands in a basin held by an attendant, he raised his head and spit out mouthwash, saying, "When?" Blame the hungry, quickly get some food for the lonely king. ”

Liu Kui and the attendants in the house were very excited when they saw Li Chengqian regain his former vigor and liveliness.

Liu Kui held tears in his eyes and grinned: "Hurry up and pass food to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Liu Kui clearly remembered that this was the first time that Li Chengqian had shouted hunger since he heard that the emperor's grandson had died. These days, every time it was time to eat, Li Chengqian was persuaded several times before he could barely eat some, and he saw that Li Chengqian lost weight but there was no way.

When the servant went out, Liu Kui reacted and said in a low voice: "The slave is confused, I almost forgot to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what he wants to eat?"

Li Chengqian was ordering a few chamberlains to take off his robes, and when he heard this, he said casually: "Just get some random things." ”

Liu Kui nodded hurriedly and said, "Obey!" ”

"Change the Lone King into a suit." Li Chengqian, who took off his robe, commanded.

In the early years, in order to establish Li Chengqian's prestige, Li Shimin specially decreed that Li Chengqian could wear a robe, which was unique among all the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Li Chengqian was afraid of Li Shimin and rarely wore Ben clothes, but now? Li Shimin is already dead in Li Chengqian's heart, so he is not taboo about this.

Moreover, Li Chengqian wanted to see Xue Rengui and other generals later, just to show them his determination and let them protect him wholeheartedly and fight back to Chang'an City.

The chamberlain heard the order and hurriedly went to get Li Chengqian's clothes.

Liu Kui suddenly remembered that Xue Rengui was still kneeling outside the courtyard, and hurriedly whispered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, General Xue entered the city at noon, and when he came to see His Royal Highness the Prince, he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sleeping soundly, and he didn't dare to disturb, so he kept kneeling outside the courtyard and waiting. ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled when he heard this: "Why is he kneeling?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in danger, and as a general of the East Palace, he naturally can't escape the blame, he feels guilty, so he kneels outside the door."

Li Chengqian was very useful when he heard this, but he scolded angrily on his face: "Nonsense, won't you order him to come in?"

"Ahh

Liu Kui was taken aback when he heard this, what is the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Xue?

When he fell asleep, he dared to let him into the inner room.

Li Chengqian saw that Liu Kui was stunned, so he scolded loudly and angrily: "Don't hurry up and invite General Xue in!"

Liu Kui hurriedly trotted all the way out, and the attendant in the house knew that a foreign minister would come in immediately, so he hurriedly brought the clothes that Li Chengqian wanted.

"Knock Knock ......"

Li Chengqian was cooperating with the chamberlain to get dressed, thinking that when he saw what Xue Rengui would say later, he heard heavy footsteps coming from far and near, and then the door flashed, and a big man wearing silver armor walked in the door.

Before Li Chengqian could see it clearly, he saw the big man pushing the golden jade pillar and kneeling down on his knees, knocking his head down, and never lifting it again.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian was quite moved in his heart, put down all the careful thoughts just now, took a few steps forward and bent down to help Xue Rengui up, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that you have been kneeling outside for a long time?"

Xue Rengui looked at Li Chengqian's thin face and stern eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a choked voice: "Minister, the minister's escort is late, putting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in danger, minister, minister is guilty of death." ”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down again.

Li Chengqian hurriedly held Xue Rengui's arms and shouted in a deep voice: "Xue Rengui - you stand up straight for the lonely king!" ”

Xue Rengui hurriedly stood up with his chest up, Li Chengqian glanced up, felt some pressure and took a few steps back. Motioned for the chamberlain to continue dressing himself.

At this time, Xue Rengui found that Li Chengqian's dress was not neatly dressed, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look more.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, began to look Xue Rengui up and down, and saw that his clothes and armor were clean, and his face and beard were clean, knowing that he had washed and changed his armor before coming to see him. I couldn't help nodding in my heart, and slowly explained: "When the Lone King heard that you had arrived with your troops, he didn't have to worry about anything, so he slept deeply, and he didn't want you to kneel outside for a long time." ”

Xue Rengui could also think that Li Chengqian must have been physically and mentally exhausted these days when he was trapped in Fuyu City with his weak troops, and he was torn between the Turkic, Khitan, and Xi steppe tigers and wolves.

"It was the incompetence of the ministers that frightened His Royal Highness the Prince." Xue Rengui once again pleaded guilty and pleaded guilty.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Okay! Let's not talk about that, let's talk about what happened to Goguryeo. ”

Xue Rengui perked up when he heard this, and made a big salute to Li Chengqian, and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there will be no Goguryeo in the world from now on." ”

Li Chengqian first froze, and then laughed.

"Haha...... Good! Good! Good! After saying three good words in a row, his face turned gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said, "The lonely king is going back to Chang'an......"

"The minister is willing to take the lead and remove all obstacles for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When Xue Rengui heard this, he immediately said loudly and loyally.

As long as you are not a fool, you know that Li Chengqian will inevitably ascend the throne as emperor as long as he succeeds in Chang'an this time, and as long as he seizes the opportunity at this time, he will be the hero of the new dynasty, and Xue Rengui, who has always been steady, cannot turn a deaf ear to this.

Li Chengqian nodded with a look of relief and said, "This is like a sentence!" Then he ordered: "Tonight's feast generals, tomorrow will start!" ”

With Xue Rengui's 30,000 cavalry escort, Li Chengqian can already run rampant on the grassland.
