"What? Li Shilang and his party were ambushed? ”

Yanzhou, the camp of the Zuo Shenwei army.

Hearing the news, Li Cunxiao was furious in the camp, and the people he sent to escort Li Sijian and his party did not expect such a thing to happen.

"General Hui, it has been preliminarily ascertained that the person who ambushed him is a member of the Dongshan Department of the Dang Xiang, and the weapons worn and used by the attacker are commonly used by the Dang Xiang people, and the ornaments of the Dongshan Department were found on the attacker." Zhu Jian said in a deep voice.

In addition to Chang Xingru being transferred to the envoy of Jiedu, most of the officials and generals under his command were also promoted.

Zhu Jian, as the most capable general under Chang Xingru, was transferred to the commander of the right wing of the Zuo Shenwei Army, which was relatively fast, after all, he was only a lieutenant three years ago.

"Higashiyamabe?" Li Cunxiao gritted his teeth and said, "What is the situation with Li Shilang and his party?" Are Li Shilang and Commander Dong safe? ”

"Back to the general, Li Shilang and Commander Dong made the two suffer some skin injuries and were fine. But dozens of accompanying officials and brocade guards died, and the one sent to escort them also lost more than a hundred people, more than fifty of them... Die. Zhu Jian hesitated for a while and said, and then when he looked up, he saw Li Cunxiao's gloomy face.

"Damn!"

Li Cunxiao slammed the chapter and directly smashed the table in front of him.

"Write this account to Ben Hou, and Ben Hou must destroy the Dongshan Department in the future!" Li Cunxiao said murderously.

Because of his great contribution to the pacification of Zhu Wen, Li Cunxiao was named the Marquis of Yanmen County.

Because the place where Li Sijian and his party were attacked was at the junction of Yanzhou and Xiasui, and the retreat was fast, Li Cunxiao could not send troops.

The Privy Council only ordered the Zuo Shenwei army to be ready to send troops at any time, but when no further orders came, they could not enter the Xia Sui realm.

After being attacked, Li Sijian realized the situation in Xia Sui now, he was attacked as soon as he entered the Xia Sui realm, which is not a trivial matter.

So the group sped up and dared to go towards Xiazhou quickly.

On the way, the group passed through Yinzhou. Gao Zongyi felt a little pity when he saw Li Sijian who was safe and sound, but he also succeeded, and this attack was enough to make Li Sijian and the imperial court's attention shift to Dongshanbu.

Dongshanbu also wants to compete with him for the position of festival and wants to be beautiful.

Of course, in this case, Li Siyi did not announce his attack, including Gao Zongyi.

Although the people who attacked them were people from the Dongshan Division, the situation in Xia Sui at this time was complicated, and Gao Zongyi might also be involved.

Just before Li Siji's side arrived in Xiazhou, Li Hong, the prince of Langya County, who was supposed to be in Luoyang, returned to Chang'an.

That night, Li Hong stayed in Daming Palace for two hours, and the next day he quietly headed for Yanzhou with his entourage.

。。。。。。

"Second brother, what are you doing? Come on, let the doctor come! ”

Looking at Li Sijing, who took off his coat to reveal his body and arms wrapped in a white cloth, Li Sijing was a little shocked and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, I was attacked when I entered the Xia Sui realm, and I was a little injured!" Li Siyi shook his head, and didn't take the wound on his body to heart, it was just a skin injury, "How is the situation of the eldest brother now?" ”

Compared to the insignificant injury on his body, Li Sijian asked anxiously.

"It's not good, in order to stabilize the situation, the eldest brother has been taking the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and his health is getting worse and worse, he is only awake for two or three hours a day, and he is still asleep." Li Sijing shook his head and looked depressed.

"Tiger and wolf medicine? Isn't this nonsense? Why don't you stop Big Brother? Li Sijian said anxiously.

"Second brother, it's not that you don't know the temper of your eldest brother, do you think I can stop him?" Li Sijing smiled bitterly, "By the way, second brother, you said that you were attacked on the way back?" Whose hand did it? Could it be the imperial court? ”

"Sijing, how do you think it's the imperial court?" Li Sijian said in a deep voice.

"I..." Li Sijing was speechless for a moment, and only said after a while, "It's the eldest brother, the eldest brother is worried about the interference of the imperial court, so I guessed so, is it really the imperial court?" ”

"Probably not!" Li Sijian shook his head, "In this attack, the accompanying officials sent by the imperial court also suffered a lot of casualties, if the imperial court doesn't want me to come back, there is no need for this."

And according to the body left by the attacker, it was from Higashiyamabe. ”

"Higashiyamabe?" Li Sijing was stunned for a moment, and then instantly became angry, "It's actually this group of bastards, since the eldest brother fell ill, they have been making small movements, but I didn't expect that this time they would dare to attack the second brother." Do they want to completely match our Pingxia Department? ”

Li Siji's dark color was solemn, "It doesn't have to be from Dongshanbu." ”

"What do you mean?"

"If you are from the Dongshan Division, and you send someone to ambush me, will you let the ambushed person wear the party's clothing and wear the ornaments of the Dongshan Division? It feels like it's deliberately misleading us for Higashiyamabu. ”

Due to his hurry, Li Sijian did not carefully check the specific identities of those attackers, and only from the superficial things were done by Dongshan Ministry, but Li Sijian always felt that something was wrong.

"Intentionally and deliberately planted a false accusation for the Higashiyama Department? But during this time, the Dongshan Department was indeed dishonest, and more than once expressed the idea of competing for the Jiedu Envoy, and the activities of the Dongshan Department during this time were also very frequent, and the warriors in their tribe were gathering.

Definitely ill-intentioned! Li Sijing said.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, it's not just the Dongshan Department that has ideas about the location of the Jiedu Envoy, and the assassins of other states are not without ideas.

At the beginning of the first battle in Shizhou, my Pingxia Department suffered heavy losses, and even now it has not recovered. Not only the Dongshan Division, but also the other tribes below and the Han generals are also all harboring ghosts, and now that the eldest brother is seriously ill, these people will naturally jump out.

For this festival, can the eldest brother make a decision? Do you want Chang'er to take over? If so, I can write to the Holy Father and ask for the Divine Decree of Appointment for Chang'er. Li Sijian said seriously.

"Second brother, the eldest brother wants you to take over as the envoy of Xia Suijie, saying that Chang'er is young and can't stabilize the situation." Li Sijing hesitated for a while and said everything that Li Sigong said to him before.

"Let me take over? How could Big Brother think that? Even if you take over, it's more suitable than me, and if I take over as the envoy of this festival, the court will definitely not agree. Li Sijian was a little puzzled.

"The eldest brother doesn't want the imperial court to control Xia Sui, he thinks this is an opportunity for my party to rise." Li Sijing said truthfully.

"Opportunity? Big brother thinks so well! Li Siji's head shook like a rattle, "If I take over, the Holy One will inevitably be angry." Zuo Shenwei's army is already deploying troops, if I take over as this Jiedu envoy, the army of the imperial court will definitely enter Xia Sui, what will we resist at that time?

If we offend the imperial court, our party is likely to suffer a catastrophe, let alone rise. ”

"Won't it?" Li Sijing couldn't believe Li Sijing's words.

"Won't? Don't underestimate the saints of today. Today's saint is not the kind of person who is easy to bully, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen have been solved by him, and even his throne... Why should we have any scruples in dealing with our party? Li Sijian said in a deep voice.

"So what now?" Only then did Li Sijing realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait for the eldest brother to wake up and persuade the eldest brother to change his mind. Now that the imperial court is powerful, we can only rely on it, not fight it, otherwise our party will really suffer a catastrophe. Li Sijian said unceremoniously.

"Report..."

At this moment, a hurried shout came from outside the house.

"Report! The Zhenwu army attacked the Tiande army on a large scale and has captured the city of Dongshou. ”
