Chapter 354: Hidden Murder (II)

"The seventh brother's wish has finally been achieved, for the brother here I wish the seventh brother a triumphant return as soon as possible, today, the seventh brother's expedition is imminent, for the brother and put a bottle of thin wine, it is considered to be a strong trip for the seventh brother, if you don't give up, please drink together?"

Since Gaozong went, the court discussion was over here, and the Empress Wu didn't say much, but just glanced at Li Xian with deep meaning, and then followed behind Gaozong, and turned into the apse together, and the ministers stepped forward to greet Li Xian for a few words, and they all dispersed, but Li Xian was not in a hurry to leave, until Li Xian and Zhu Zaifu finished greetings, then they went forward, and sent out an invitation in a warm manner.

Drinking together? Ha, nine times out of ten, this guy is thinking about co-opting our people, just dream! Li Xian's personality can be said to have understood the bone marrow, just listened, he had already guessed what Li Xian's intentions were for this invitation, and he secretly sneered in his heart, but he didn't miss it, just smiled and politely refused: "Brother Prince's good intentions are understood by his brother, but the military situation is urgent, and it must not be delayed, and the younger brother is still entangled in some mundane affairs, it is really difficult to get out, if you have leisure, you will definitely come to visit the prince's brother." ”

"Well, that's right, hehe, it's for my brother Meng Lang, so let's go, when the seventh brother is busy, come and walk for the brother, you and my brother are goodbye, I don't know when I will see you again, the seventh brother is so precious, and the brother should pray for the seventh brother every day before the Buddha."

Li Xian obviously didn't expect to run into such a soft nail, and his face instantly became a little unpleasant, but he couldn't take Li Xian, after all, what Li Xian said was right, Li Xian couldn't do it if he wanted to find a disrespectful excuse, and he was choked up quite embarrassed, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only laugh embarrassedly twice, and said a few perfunctory words indiscriminately.

"Thank you for the prince's brother's love, the courtiers dare not live up to the grace of their father and the prince's brother, and they must take the extermination of Tubo as their own responsibility, and make a safe side for my Tang Dynasty, it's not too early, if the prince's brother has no orders, and allow the minister's brother to leave and return to the house, in order to prepare for the trip."

Originally, as far as Li Xian is concerned, Li Xian's use value has almost been squeezed out, as for how he wants to fight with the Empress Wu and even the King of Yue in the future, Li Xian has no intention of taking care of it anymore, if Li Xian can be interesting, for the sake of brotherhood, Li Xian will still try his best to help, but the person who is born here is really too bad, how can Li Xian have anything to do with him, plus everything is complicated before the expedition, Li Xian is even more unwilling to talk nonsense with him, so he said bluntly.

"This ......, well, the seventh brother is busy."

Listening to Li Xian's official words, Li Xian was annoyed for a while, thinking that he was ignored by Li Xian, but he didn't want to think about how bad his own behavior was.

"The prince's brother stayed, and the minister's brother left."

The left and right sides will have nothing to do with each other, and there will never be a chance to meet again, Li Xian didn't want to see Li Xian in general, so he didn't care about his anger at all, and after saluting respectfully, he turned around and walked out of the hall in a chic manner.

"Hmph, drive back to the palace!"

Looking at Li Xian's distant back, Li Xian clenched his teeth, his face was red for a while, white and changed for a while, and the fierce light in his eyes flickered non-stop......

"See Your Highness!"

Li Xian didn't have the time to talk to a guy like Li Xian who was destined to finish playing, and he didn't bother to pay attention to what he thought, as soon as he got out of the palace, he rushed straight back to his house, and only then turned out of the screen at the door of the study, Di Renjie and the others, who had been waiting in the study, immediately stood up in unison, and bowed down to say goodbye.

"All the princes, please take a seat."

Looking at the confidants and ministers who were gathered together, Li Xian's heart was surging with pride, but the city was deep, and he didn't bring it to his face, but strode to the big seat at the top and sat down, looked around at everyone, and then pressed his hand indifferently, signaling everyone to sit down, and the scholars who accompanied him in his own study presented everyone with freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then all bowed down and exited the room.

"Your Highness, has the court meeting come to an end?"

Most of the people present are calm people, Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia are not the two wise men, Lin Mingdu and Luo Bingwang are not idle people, in contrast, Xiao Qian, a simple general, is not so deep in the city, this time seeing that Li Xian was not angry for a long time, he couldn't hold back when he landed, and as soon as he arched his hand, he hurriedly asked a question.

"Well, Gu has received the permission of his father, and he will rush to Hexi in the near future."

For the next five people, Li Xian has always trusted them, and he will not hide anything, so he directly gave a clear answer.

"Great, Your Highness is here, when you return to the sea like a dragon, it is inevitable that you will travel thousands of miles, and the last general will please go to Hexi with His Highness and kill him!"

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, although Di Renjie and the others had expected it, as soon as they learned about the letter, they couldn't help but smile with relief, and Xiao Qian was even more direct, high-fived, and shouted excitedly.

"There will be a chance, but not now." After getting along for many years, Li Xianzi knew Xiao Qian's temperament and knew that his words were not false, so he smiled and appeased, and then, his face was solemn, and he said calmly: "If you go alone, I am afraid that you will not be able to return for several years, and the matter of the court will be entrusted to the princes!" ”

"Willing to serve His Highness!"

Seeing Li Xian's face solemn, everyone knew that Li Xian was going to explain the matter, so they didn't dare to laugh anymore, and they replied with a smile.

"The lonely general of the court will have a lot of things to do, under the resistance of all parties, the court will be fierce, the princes must not be careless, everything must be stable, if there is no special explanation, then it will be arbitrary by Di Gong, and there must be no mistakes!" Li Xian has always been generous, but once he gets down to business, he has always been nailed and riveted, and there is no room for any ambiguity.

"The lower officials obey the order!"

The four important ministers are each in the same family, and there is really not much harmony on weekdays, but Li Xian has already spoken, but no one dares to have two words, so they can only promise each other.

"Well, all the princes are the people who have made their promises, you can rest assured that you are alone, it's not too early, you will leave in one or two days, and you will be entangled in mundane things, so you won't stay more than the princes, Di Gong will stay temporarily, and the princes will be scattered."

Li Xian gathered a group of henchmen this time, in order to establish Di Renjie's leadership position, so as not to be broken by people without a leader in the event of an accident.

"No!"

Since Li Xian had already given the order, everyone didn't dare to slack off, whether they were willing or not, they could only get up and make promises and disperse.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with today's court meeting?"

Di Renjie is worthy of being a wise man, although Li Xian has never had a very inappropriate look since he came back, but he can see at a glance that Li Xian has thoughts, and when everyone disperses, he asked with a smile,

"Well, it's a little twist and turn, here's how it happened......"

Li Xian has always respected Di Renjie, and he will not hide it in the slightest, this listens to his question, and he does not hesitate, nods, and repeats the matter of today's court discussion in detail, and at the end, he said with an awe-inspiring face: "Di Gong, Lone is expected to be Lonely, and someone will be reluctant to move, if Lone is not bad, the first one who can't help it must be the prince's house, if he dares to move, fight back to be martyred, and fight until he is afraid, don't be soft, Lone General' In addition, if necessary, all the materials of the "Deng Kee Firm" can be transferred at will, so as to be able to hold the position, do not let the lonely on the front line still worry about here, everything has a lot of trouble with the Duke of Laudy. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will fight to the death, and they will also defend the country for Your Highness, and they will die!"

Di Renjie knew how arduous this task was, but he did not have a trace of fear, his face was solemn, and he was deeply respectful to Li Xian, and made a cautious guarantee......

Yeting Palace, located on the west side of the imperial city, is the residence of the palace maids and eunuchs without rank, it is inevitable that it is dirty and messy, it is said to be a part of the imperial city, but in fact it is a hodgepodge of places, in which the lanes are deep and do not know how deep, seven bends and eight turns, with a labyrinth in general, if ordinary people suddenly go in, nine times out of ten they will be dizzy and lost, but for Cheng Denggao, who has lived in this palace for many years, it does not matter, even if it is dark and the night is deep, even if there is no one around to guide, But Cheng Deng's footsteps have never slowed down, and he has arrived in front of a small compound near the palace wall, and after standing in front of the door for a while, he cautiously stretched out his hand and pushed open the courtyard door.

"Humph!"

Cheng Denggao's movements were not unpleasant, but before he could gain a firm foothold, a cold snort had already sounded in his ears, and at the same time, a cold light flashed in the night, Cheng Denggao only felt a cold in his neck, and a dagger was already firmly against the flesh.

"Don't, don't mess around, it's me, it's me!"

Being forced by the dagger, Cheng Denggao immediately panicked, and hurriedly whispered, his voice full of anxiety.

"Hmph, what's the matter?"

The person who secretly shot out obviously knew that it was Cheng Denggao, but he did not put down the dagger against his neck, but squeezed out a few numbers that were extremely dumb from his throat.

"Niangniang has a message, 'Operation Zephyr' can begin, Grandpa Sun, don't be joking."

Cheng Denggao was obviously very afraid of the person behind him, and his voice was extremely low, but the meaning of begging for mercy in his tone was very strong.

"Humph!"

As soon as he heard the word "Niangniang", the person in the dark couldn't help but snort coldly, and his hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he almost grabbed a bloody mouth on Cheng Denggao's neck, which frightened Cheng Denggao's face as white as paper, his legs and feet trembled, and he almost lost his incontinence.

"Father-in-law Sun, Niangniang has explained, this matter can only succeed, not fail, I hope Grandpa Sun will do it himself, don't make mistakes!"

Cheng Denggao took a few breaths, finally woke up from the panic, his face was solemn, he put on the frame of the eunuch, and explained coldly.

"Get out!"

As soon as he heard Cheng Denggao say this, the person in the dark was obviously angry, and he walked out of the darkness with a big stride, glared at Cheng Denggao, and squeezed out a word from his throat.

"You, you ......, okay, we'll see!"

Cheng Denggao was obviously very afraid of that person, although he was extremely annoyed, he didn't dare to say anything hard at all, flicked his big sleeves, and hurriedly left.

"Rubbish!"

The person in the dark turned his head and showed a hideous face under the moonlight, it turned out to be Sun Quanfu, who should have been killed with a cane, but seeing that he scolded disdainfully at Cheng Denggao's embarrassed back, his figure flashed, and the person disappeared into the night again......
