"Your Highness is fine, it is really a blessing for the country." Stepping into the inner hall, Cao Shaoqin looked at Cao Anmin, who was sitting upright, and saluted.

"Although Lone is fine, those Great Qin soldiers who died for Lone make Lone's heart ache." Cao Anmin looked at the Governor of Dongchang in front of him, his voice was low, and watching the soldiers next to him die one by one for himself was a kind of torment for him.

"Gu wants to know, what does Cao Qing know?" Cao Anmin stood up and walked to Cao Shaoqin's side, Dongchang is nominally a secret agent agency in Daqin, but in fact it is in charge of the family and the clan, Cao Shaoqin personally appeared here, which means that everything is related to the family and the clan.

"It's not a lot in general, I just know that there are people who want His Highness to die." Cao Shaoqin replied, but what he said did not have anything substantial.

Looking at the expressionless Cao Shaoqin, Cao Anmin's face was ugly, he knew that Cao Shaoqin was deliberately hiding from him, but he couldn't find his flaws, and Cao Shaoqin dared to hide from him, which means that he had been ordered by the emperor, otherwise, he would never dare to be so perfunctory.

"Your Highness, compared to Your Majesty, you are not enough!" Looking at Cao Anmin's angry figure, Cao Shaoqin shook his head and sighed.

In the wing room in the house, Li Ang looked at Li Cunzhi, Li Cunba, Li Cunxiao, and there was unspeakable pain in his eyes, the thirteen Taibao, the thirteen righteous sons, overnight, there were only three people left in front of him, and everyone else died for him.

"Cunlie they are dead, you three have to remember. From now on, you will live with their portion. Live well, you know? Li Ang held back the tears in his eyes, looked at the three sons in front of him and said, "You are still the thirteen Taibao of your father-in-law, and you will never change." ”

"Father-in-law." Li Cunxiao gritted his teeth and nodded in response to Li Ang's words. From now on, they will take the place of the dead brothers and protect Leon, their father-in-law.

"Childe, I'll take medicine for you." Yuan Luoshen, who had been silent beside him, saw that Li Ang and Li Cunxiao were suddenly silent, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Luoshen, you give them medicine first, and I have Thule here." Li Ang looked at the pale Yuan Luoshen, shook his head and sighed, "You should also be careful with your own injuries." ”

When Yuan Luoshen and Li Cunxiao exited the room, Li Ang, who had been holding on, could no longer support it. Yang Tian fell, in the fight just now. He has always used fierce swordsmanship to open the way, no matter how powerful he is, he keeps wielding a heavy sword of more than forty catties to kill the enemy, he is always a person.

Tulle held Leon up, and it was then that he noticed that his master's arms were shaking violently.

"Tulle, don't let anyone know about this." After settling down with Thule's support. Li Ang ordered (computer, the fastest update) instructed, his own body he knew best, he was overexerting himself, plus the arrow in his left shoulder, if he was unlucky, maybe his left hand would be useless.

Tulle nodded, he wasn't a talker, all he could do was follow Leon's orders and do it to the letter. Removing the clothes from Leon's shoulders, he used a knife to pull out the arrows for Leon. Then he washed his wound with strong liquor and applied medicine to him.

Li Ang had just finished treating his wounds. There was a knock on the door, and seeing Li Ang nodding, Tulle put down the medicine bottle and opened the door, and it was none other than Cao Anmin. "Thule, you go down first!" Seeing that it was Cao Anmin, Li Ang directly waved back Thule.

Closing the door, Cao Anmin walked to Li Ang's side and sat down, "Your complexion is very bad, your body is fine!" ”

"It's okay, but I won't be able to use my sword for a while." Li Ang didn't hide it from Cao Anmin, he was not a person who liked to be strong, "Your Highness, did Duke Cao mention anything about going out of the city?" ”

"Under this mansion, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the outside of the city, but we have to wait for the dragoons to come before we leave the city, so it is safer." Cao Anmin replied, then he fell silent, and after a long while, he said, "Actually, after the assassination on the road, I should listen to you and cancel this trip to the United States, in that case, Cunlie and they will not die." "For Cao Anmin, Li Cunxiao, who was taught by him along the way, died because of him, as well as those dead Daqin soldiers, and he should be responsible for the deaths of those soldiers.

"It's not all Your Highness's responsibility, if anything, I have it." Looking at Cao Anmin beside him, Li Ang had an indescribable feeling that the Prince of Great Qin beside him made him see a kind of power, a centralized empire needs such an emperor.

"Your Highness's question now is not whose responsibility it is, but what should we do next?" Li Ang said quietly, as a courtier, he must persuade Cao Anmin, as the crown prince of Great Qin, he cannot evade the responsibilities that belong to him.

"You're right." Cao Anmin nodded, at this moment, he regarded Li Ang as his own bone minister, a person who could be entrusted with military affairs. If Li Ang's previous sacrifice to save him moved him, then now Li Ang's position as a courtier dedicated to the country makes him respectful. After a deep sigh, he looked at Li Ang and said quietly, "Regardless of whether the rice country is manipulated by others or not, they always swing the knife at Gu, and swinging the knife at Gu is waving the knife at Daqin, so Gu wants to destroy the rice country." ”

Looking at Cao Anmin, who had a low voice and a resolute face, Li Ang felt the anger in his heart, and he stood up, "The minister agrees." ”

"Li Qing, you can recuperate from your injuries! Loneliness doesn't bother you. Cao Anmin left Li Ang's room, maybe he came over, just to see Li Ang, and before he knew it, he had regarded him as a friend, a real friend.

In another part of the house, Gao Changgong sat under the eaves in a daze, looking at the dark sky, he encountered a setback for the first time, although the prince had nothing to do, but a person as proud as him would never tolerate himself making two big mistakes in a row.

'Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong! Born in a high-ranking family, you who have been called a genius since you were a child will also make such a stupid mistake, don't you always say that you are the undefeated Gao Changgong? You've always been the best since you were a child, but why. Would you make such a stupid mistake? Gao Changgong smiled self-deprecatingly at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly he lowered his head. He muttered to himself, "You have to remember that you are only a recruit on the battlefield, and everything you used to have gained by virtue of your illustrious family background, from now on, you must understand." The real strong are killed from the bloody path of the battlefield. ”

Gao Chang stood up respectfully

Turning to the darkness on the other side, he said loudly, "I won't make any more mistakes." "As he walked into the corridor, he was going to see his men who were still alive, to see Leon and the Prince, and he had made a mistake that he had to admit to them, whether they would forgive him or not.

"This is the descendant of the Gao family!" looked at Gao Changgong's departing figure. Cao Shaoqin muttered to himself and walked out of the darkness.

In Li Ang's room, he looked at Gao Changgong. Li Ang said quietly, "That's not your fault, if I change my position in you, I will also make a wrong judgment, thinking that I can hold that deputy general hostage and take the prince out of danger." ”

"We are human beings, not gods. So we always make mistakes. Li Ang looked at Gao Changgong, his eyes flashing, "It's just that we will never make the same mistake." ”

"Thank you." Gao Changgong hesitated for a moment, and finally said this, and then he looked at Li Ang, "I want to know what you think about the current situation?" ”

"Our enemies are strong, stronger than we think." Thinking of asking for Mi Yundi's crossbow arrows in the dark, Li Ang said in a deep voice, "He knew the whereabouts of the prince from the beginning, and he had already been arranged in the United States. That lieutenant general is by no means a dead soldier who can be bought in the short term. ”

Mention the lieutenant general. Gao Changgong's expression froze, he thought that he would never forget this person in his life, thinking of the expression when he died, Gao Changgong couldn't help but say, "He is not just a dead man, when he fell, the expression on his face was very strange, like the feeling of revenge." ”

"Daqin has been operating in the river for one hundred and fifty years, and many of the methods used in the secret are very cruel." Li Ang sighed and said, "Where there is light, there must be shadow, and the six countries in the river may not be as the people in the country think, they are all bent on attaching themselves to Great Qin." ”

"In the Six Royal Families, there must be ambitious people, if Great Qin didn't have the intention of cutting the domain, they might be able to keep to themselves for the rest of their lives, but now they will definitely use this matter to realize their ambitions." Li Ang said quietly, he has been dealing with the chief for a long time, and he knows that the so-called 'public opinion' is just a high-sounding excuse for careerists, and the common people are always fooled by a group of people, both ancient and modern.

"So they have to die!" Gao Changgong said quietly, "We must suppress the affairs of the United States by thunderous means, so that the other five countries do not dare to act rashly, otherwise, if it is for the sake of cutting the domain, they will collude, and the battle in the river will be difficult to fight." ”

"Now it's up to you when the Dragoons arrive?" Li Ang said with a wry smile, now the situation is not up to them at all, even if the six royal families in the river have people who have the heart of Great Qin, but in the face of the survival of their own temple, their position will definitely waver.

"They'll be there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Gao Changgong replied that before entering the city, he had sent someone to contact the dragoons stationed in the rice country, presumably they would come over soon, and he believed that Cao Shaoqin would also contact Wanzhou, as long as Wanzhou's army marched into the river, even if the six countries rebelled, they would not have to be afraid.

"What I'm worried about now is whether the United States will send people to the other five countries overnight to seek an alliance, if they strike first, attack our garrison in the river, and then collude with Persia, we will be passive." Li Ang frowned, now the logistics of the 40,000 troops that Great Qin was confronting Persia in the river were provided by the princes in the river, and it was too simple for them to plot against Great Qin.

Hearing Li Ang's speculation, Gao Changgong couldn't help but change his color, if the six countries in the river really did that, then once the Persians attacked, Daqin's army would be defeated even if they were brave and good at fighting in the case of logistics cut off.

"Now the only way to ask the crown prince to come forward and order them to immediately capture the royal capital of the six kingdoms and recover the river with lightning speed." Leon said in a deep voice, this was the best way he could think of at the moment.

"Direct mobilization of border troops." Gao Changgong couldn't help but be taken aback by Li Ang's thoughts, without the edict of the Son of Heaven and the military hall, mobilizing so many troops, even the crown prince may not be able to afford the responsibility in case of failure, after all, it is uncertain whether the six countries in the river will form an alliance, and if they do this, they may make them rebel.

On the other side, Cao Shaoqin listened to Cao Anmin's idea of directly mobilizing 40,000 Anxi troops to confront Persia to capture the six countries in the river, and his face was still expressionless, after listening, he looked at Cao Anmin in front of him and asked, "Has Your Highness really decided to do this?" ”

"The six countries in the river are the places that Great Qin must occupy, it is better to fight late than early, and it is better to fight small than to fight, if there is a problem in the future, it is better to wipe out all the noble families of the six countries now." Cao Anmin's voice carried an indescribable coldness, "What is beaten down is real." He grew up listening to this sentence, the interest groups of the six countries in the river are destined to conflict with Great Qin, in this case, it is better to eliminate them in one fell swoop when they are not ready, only by completely eliminating the original interest groups, can Great Qin exert effective rule over Hezhong.

"Your Highness's meaning, the minister understands." Cao Shaoqin suddenly said in a deep voice, and then took out the prince's seal from his arms, "This is when the minister came, His Majesty asked the minister to bring it, Your Majesty said, if the prince wants to do something in the river, you look at it for me, if you think it is appropriate, this will be given to him." ”

Taking over the seal of the crown prince, Cao Anmin looked at Cao Shaoqin, who always looked the same, and said with some surprise, "Do you agree with the meaning of Lone?" ”

"Your Highness, when the minister was young, he went to the battlefield with His Majesty, and the minister is also a person with a bad temper, so I can't see anyone offending Great Qin Tianwei." Cao Shaoqin had a smile on his pale face, "And the minister has never been afraid of killing, in the eyes of the minister, in this world, there are many people, there are many right and wrong, and sometimes it is a good thing to die some people." ”

Listening to Cao Shaoqin's last words, even if Cao Anmin also had a ruthless and murderous side, he was still shocked, the governor of Dongchang in front of him was indeed as the emperor said, he was a person who regarded human life as grass, but he was also a powerful character, but he couldn't use it in the wrong place, it seemed that Dongchang was indeed the most suitable place for him.

"Lone will issue an edict, and ask Lord Cao to immediately order someone to send it to the Anxi border army." Cao Anmin sat down at his desk, and after a short time, he had already written the edict, stamped his prince's seal and Cao Shaoqin's military seal. After reading the edict in the end, Cao Anmin solemnly handed it over to Cao Shaoqin, after the edict was issued, he had to assume the responsibility of the prince of another country, and he must not fail.
