Wei Zheng entered the study worriedly, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Li You being so leisurely.

Li You smiled and said, "Master Wei, you came just in time, I'm going to make it convenient, you can touch two for me." ”

It is said that Wei Zheng was not in this mood, but when he saw that Li You was so calm, his heart was much calmer, and he sat on the mahjong table without refusing.

Li You walked out and came back shortly after.

Wei Zheng wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Li You, he said: "Lord Wei, I have bad luck today, these three guys have won me a lot of money, you can win it back for me." ”

Wei Zheng had something in his heart and wanted to talk to Li You alone, but when he saw the formation in front of him, he couldn't do anything for a while, so he had to fight patiently.

Wei Zheng was anxious in his heart, unable to concentrate, and his cards were chaotic, and after a while, he lost a lot of money.

Murong Bo smiled and said, "Lord Wei, you have to be single-minded in your work, the five elements are uncertain, and you will definitely lose cleanly." ”

Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed, looked at Li You, he smiled, he didn't care at all, he seemed to understand something, so he began to concentrate on playing cards.

"Haha, self-touch, all the same, a dragon." Wei Zheng's luck really improved.

Patriotic Mansion.

Li Ji chatted with Li Jing, Li Jing talked about the overall war strategy that Li You had always adopted, and he said: "Maogong, the Goguryeo Kingdom was originally an extremely difficult country to conquer, and my Central Plains Dynasty has gone through several dynasties, countless expeditions have not worked, and Your Majesty's first eastern crusade was also a failure.

His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest fought a military, political and economic battle, but Goguryeo collapsed in one year, which was really admired by the old man. ”

Li Ji heard Li Jing talk about this, and sighed: "Yes, Your Highness has expanded the territory for the imperial court for so many years and conquered many countries, and he has always been able to get the greatest results at the lowest cost by relying on strategy. I also greatly admire this. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "You say, is Your Highness a person who has no overall view and does things recklessly?" ”

Li Ji's eyes lit up and said, "Master, Your Highness is ......."

Li Jing nodded slightly and said, "There should be news." ”

As soon as his words fell, the eldest son Li Dejian came in and said, "Father, as you expected, everyone who went to ask to see His Highness was blocked. ”

Li Jing smiled: "Haha, Mao Gong, don't leave today, let's eat hot pot and drink a few cups." ”

Although Li Ji hadn't completely thought through some details of this matter, he also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Okay, no wonder Your Highness has always said that the ocean fleet will bring delicious food, and I am really addicted to this chili." Ha ha. ”

At this time, the housekeeper came in and reported: "Master, the servant is here." ”

Since getting the news of Li Chengqian's conflict with Li You, Hou Junji suddenly fell into a state of anxiety, he has experienced countless winds and waves in his life, if there is anything that bothers him the most, I am afraid it is the matter in front of him.

Li Chengqian is Hou Junji's only son-in-law, and his only hope, in order to protect Li Chengqian, he even does not hesitate to make Li Shimin's enemy.

However, the person Hou Junji admires the most in his life is indeed Li You, he fell in love with Li You, and in terms of personality alone, Hou Junji likes Li You more than Li Chengqian. He was very sad to make him an enemy of Li You, and even if he had to be an enemy of Li You, Li You's demonic wisdom and his huge strength made Hou Junji fearful.

Hou Junji was impatient, and he immediately went to the East Palace to ask to see Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian avoided it. He found his daughter Hou Haitang through the maid in the East Palace, and wanted to tell Li Chengqian through her, but Hou Haitang said that Li Chengqian was in the palace of Princess Su at the moment, and it was inconvenient for her to go over.

Hou Junji had no choice but to leave the East Palace.

Hou Junji really wanted to ask to see Li You, but he didn't know what the trouble between Li Chengqian and Li You was, and he didn't dare to ask Li You directly. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to come to see his master Li Jing.

Seeing that Li Ji was also there, Hou Junji knew that he must have come for this matter, and he had the same idea as Li Ji, he said: "Master, how can you still sit still, hurry up and persuade His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest." ”

Li Jing smiled: "You, how old are you, why are you still so impatient?" You've come just in time, the three of us have a rare get-together, so let's have a drink today. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the past, Li Shimin was in power, and in order to avoid his suspicion, the three masters and apprentices did not communicate publicly for 20 years.

Despite this, Hou Junji was still not in the mood to drink, he looked at Li Ji suspiciously, saw him with a calm look, and asked, "Brother Maogong, ...... you guys?"

Li Ji said with a smile: "If you come, you will be safe, listen to the master's words, let's have a drink today." ”

Night fell, the weather was fine, and the moon was high.

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

After the establishment of the Diting Temple, the office was located in Chongrenfang, and Tuoba Zilan and her maid Xiaoyue were imprisoned in the prison of the Diting Temple.

Because Li You had confessed that they could not be abused, their cells were in decent condition - there were two beds, clean bedding, a table and three benches, and even a mirror and a washbasin.

When the female cell boss Wang Sanniang asked for these things in prison, she was worried that they would use them to commit suicide and raised objections. The prison said that it was confessed by the prince, and even if something happened, it had nothing to do with the prison.

However, Wang Sanniang still didn't dare to be careless, she was worried that something really happened to Tuoba Zilan, and she couldn't run away with a crime of dereliction of duty, so she told the female jailer to keep an eye on Tuoba Zilan and Xiaoyue, and she also observed the situation in the cell from time to time.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an edict to kill Tuoba Zilan and them tomorrow, and Wang Sanniang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tuoba Zilan came to assassinate Li You, she came with a lot of blood, she had already held the heart of death, and even felt that it was a supreme honor to die. But when her mission failed, the hot blood impulse in her heart had already begun to cool down.

Female heirs who are not directly in the line of the Emperor of the Uno Kingdom for three generations are called the Queen, and female heirs who are not in the direct line of the Emperor of the Uno Kingdom for three generations are called Prince Nai.

The direct descendants of the emperor also have titles, and the princes and grandsons of the emperor within three generations are called "princes", and the princesses are called "inner princes"; The grandson of the emperor who is not three generations away from the direct line is called "king", and the granddaughter of the emperor is called "queen". In addition, there are titles such as "crown prince", "imperial grandson", "empress", "empress dowager", "empress dowager", "princess", etc., which have the same meaning as in Chinese.

Tuoba Zilan is the prince of Dongyingnei, she has a good life, and she doesn't want to end her beautiful life here, so when Li You ordered to save their lives, she inevitably had a desire to live in her heart.

However, they heard the conversation between the female cell leader Wang Sanniang and the female jailers, and knew that they were about to reach tomorrow.

Xiao Yue was a year younger than Tuoba Zilan, she didn't want to die, and silently shed tears.

Tuoba Zilan held her hand and said softly, "Xiaoyue, are you afraid?" ”

Xiao Yue quickly wiped away her tears, shook her head and said, "Your Highness, the slave is not afraid, but I miss my mother a little." ”

Tuoba Zilan also remembered her parents and sister who loved her, she looked at the bright moon outside the window, with tears in her eyes, and gently hummed the tune of her hometown.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an edict that tomorrow's court, officials above the seventh rank in Chang'an will participate in the court meeting. Everyone knows that something big will happen tomorrow, and they have all guessed that tomorrow's event is related to the matter of the female assassin from the Japanese slave country, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Northwest King will compete in this matter, and a court storm is coming.

Everyone has different thoughts, some are worried, and there are also those who steal joy, and many people are thinking about the split between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, and how they should stand in line.

Chang'an City under the cover of night is peaceful and quiet, but people's hearts are restless and intense.

"Bell."

At 4 o'clock on the fifth shift (one shift is two hours, one shift is divided into 5 o'clock, each point is 24 minutes), although the curfew has been lifted on the Great Wall, the bell for the end of the curfew is still retained.

A new day begins.
