"Ah...... Ah......h

Songwen rolled on the ground, but the red torch in his hand rolled around on his face, and the falling coals were stained on the meat, and the smell of meat filled the air.

Songwen finally threw the torch into the stream with all his might, and the blood from the small gravel on the ground with both hands flowed, and he roared in pain in his mouth, and after a while he rolled into the stream, and there was a sizzling sound on his face, and there was a puff of green smoke floating on the stream.

By the time he stood up against the stream, the handsome man was gone, only a man with a rotten flesh and ugly face.

He lowered his eyes and opened his eyes to look at the people in the stream, his face was burnt with flesh, the eyebrows at the corners of his eyes were gone, and a ball of whitish flesh curled up together was terrifying to look at.

"Hehehe......"

He took out his knife and cut off the dead flesh bit by bit to avoid infection and ulceration, and let out a low laugh as he cut it, like a demon grinning.

From now on, there is no more Songwen in the world, only an ugly thing that is not human or ghost......

When he passed through Hailing City with this face, the guards at the city gate only glanced at him, and then pushed him into the city in a panic, fearing that he would have a nightmare tonight.

Everyone was afraid of them like snakes and scorpions, listening to the frightened voices in his ears, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he hated these voices while he was still happy, what about the nets of heaven and earth? People's disgust and avoidance of ugly things are enough for him to easily walk in any city of the Tang Dynasty.

When he begged in Hailing for a few days, he boarded a ship to Yangzhou with money and silver, and then disappeared into the world, and no one knew his whereabouts.

And when Cai Cong learned that there was a very ugly scholar begging in the city, and the miserable situation of the book made people cry, and won the money of many rich families, he personally led the troops to investigate, and when he learned that the ugly ghost had left, he only said one sentence: "At that time, it can be described as a hero, only Song Wenye." ”

Although he didn't see anyone, his intuition told him that the ugly ghost must be Songwen, and he immediately found someone who had seen the ugly ghost to draw his portrait, and since then Songwen has two faces on the wanted list.

At this time, Li Jing, who was far away in Chang'an, read Cai Cong's military report, slapped his big hand on the table and shouted angrily: "Shameless, you should kill it." ”

Fang Xuanling pinched Cai Cong's recital and frowned and said, "It's going to be bad, it's going to be bad." ”

The two walked out of their respective rooms almost at the same time, and as soon as they came out, they saw each other and asked in unison: "Is it a matter of Yangzhou to be so flustered?" ”

"That's right, let's go into the palace together?"

The two of them said in unison, the two of them probably haven't had such a tacit understanding in their lives, and after speaking, they shut up at the same time, and walked quickly outside, one with an angry face and one worried.

Walking to the gate, General Li Jing handed the report to Fang Xuanling, and the two of them changed their faces after reading it, and they trotted up with their robes at that time, and the officials who watched it were extremely surprised, these two masters had never been so out of shape.

Li Shimin was really discussing the way of governing the country with many Confucians, and a small chamberlain hurriedly came over and said something in Yan Dong's ear.

Yan Dong bent down again and whispered in Li Shimin's ear, Li Shimin's face froze, and he instructed the Confucians to discuss it on their own, and hurriedly walked towards the Taiji Hall.

"Ministers, please meet Your Majesty."

"There's no need to be polite, you two can't even wait for the feast, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and pointed to the stool to signal the two to speak. After Li Jing did it, he said angrily: "The thief plays me like a child, and I am ashamed." ”

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "The prince threw himself into the air, spent people's and material resources to increase jokes, greatly damaged his prestige, and became a joke in the world." ”

"In the clouds, let's talk about it carefully."

It is not a trivial matter to let the two of them talk like this, but Li Shimin said calmly, he is confident that he has the ability to solve all the problems in the world.

Seeing the two of them, you look at me and I look at you, he pointed to Fang Xuanling and said, "Xuanling, you say first, what's wrong with the prince?" ”

He poured all his heart and soul into Li Chengqian, so he naturally cared more about Li Chengqian's reputation.

"There was an official document from Yangzhou, Songwen led tens of thousands of people to send 100,000 troops to attack the Great Food Country, Hailing was under martial law, Cai Cong recruited tens of thousands of villagers to respond to the battle in a hurry, and Hailing County was killed."

Fang Xuanling said that Li Shimin was not good. He didn't hear anything else, he only heard Songwen attack Hailing.

Songwen went to Hailing, so who is Li Chengqian going to arrest? Under the vigorous propaganda of the government, and today no one knows about the prince's personal expedition, if it is rumored that the prince led 80,000 troops across the ocean, spending countless people's fat and people's ointment, just to go sightseeing, then what should the people of the world think of the prince?

At the very least, it has to be a stupid and incompetent infamy, and as for being laughed at in private, it can't run.

He asked Li Jing with a gloomy face, "What happened to the military department?" Say it one piece, let me not be happy all at once! ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's still a matter of Yangzhou, Cai Cong repelled the incoming enemy, and when he was chasing after the victory, the soldiers of the Great Food Country and the soldiers of Songwen had a civil strife and fought on the beach. It was their eldest prince who led the troops of the Great Food Country, and fled by boat, only to be captured by Cai Cong's ambush at sea. This is the letter of state he handed in, and the minister asks His Majesty to take a look. ”

Li Jing's face was not good-looking, and his hands were still shaking angrily when he handed over the general's newspaper and national letter to Yan Dong.

"The shameless barbarians deceive people too much, Cai Cong killed them well, and I want to raise millions of soldiers to slaughter and eat."

Li Shimin immediately slapped the table angrily and roared, these words could not be easily spoken, so frightened that Li Jing and Fang Xuanling couldn't care about being angry and worried about the prestige of the prince, and hurriedly went up to appease the angry Li Shimin.

The population of the Tang Dynasty has only exceeded 10 million in the 20 years since the founding of the country, and if it is a million soldiers, it will take nearly 1.5 million people to add people. Was the former Sui killed by the smoke and dust of the eighteenth road and the thirty-sixth road? Definitely not! The main reason is that Yang Guang's buddy is too big-hearted, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo sent millions of troops to drag the country down. So Li Shimin's casual remarks scared the two of them a lot.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Cai Cong has already sent someone to send the head back, if the Great Food Country sends troops to attack, the ministers will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor. Da Shiguo and Datang are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, it is really not suitable for a big fight, what matters at the moment is the prestige of the prince, and now the prince is still overseas and knows nothing about this matter, he must think of a way, otherwise there is no place to put the prince's face when he comes back, and even more so, there is no place to put the face of the imperial court. ”

Li Jing said worriedly, it didn't seem to be a problem at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was all a problem. Only Cai Cong earned a lot of money, and the 100,000 people killed by tens of thousands of wandering stragglers did not leave a piece of armor, and this reputation was loud.

"If you don't think so, you will declare to the outside world that Songwen was beaten by the prince and fled, and Your Majesty will give the prince a secret decree to let the prince march from Ryukyu Island to the waters of Yangzhou, so that it will not be too ugly to hear."

Fang Xuanling said without thinking, he was thinking on the road, although it was not very thorough, but at least it could block the mouths of a group of people.
