After some persuasion to no avail, and Li Chengqian pressed him as the eldest son, Li Ji was unwilling in his heart, and had to do what Li Chengqian wanted.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ji escorted the prince out of the city gate with two soldiers with good martial arts skills in the army, and walked towards the camp where the Houjun Jifang was located.

"Uncle Li, why didn't you let your little nephew go with you?" Standing at the head of the city, watching Li Chengqian and his entourage gradually move away, Gongsun Helan said to Li Ji with some resentment: "There is no one close to the heart to follow him, God knows what he will say to the old man of Hou Junji?" The matter of the last time he reported the news has not been explained, so Uncle Li is not afraid that he will play any tricks again? ”

"Let you go along?" Turning his head and glancing at Gongsun Helan, he looked around again, and saw that there was no one else nearby except Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan, Li Ji suppressed his voice and whispered to Gongsun Helan: "If the prince has a problem, do you think he will let you come back alive?" If the prince has no problem, according to your relationship with Liu Yiyi, "Do you think Hou Junji will be indifferent when he sees you?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, and Hou Junji was once a relative of Weng's son-in-law, Hou Junji will not embarrass him" But what about you, an inconsequential young general, just find an excuse, Hou Junji will kill you with a knife, you have no place to reason, and if you die, you will die in vain! ”

In other words, regardless of whether Li Chengqian has problems or not, "most of the people who go to negotiate this time will not worry about their lives." But as for Gongsun Helan, as long as he follows the past and enters the camp of Gaochang Kingdom, "you don't even have to guess, there must be no return."

"Huh?" This is very likely" Gongsun Helan's mind calmed down at once, and Uncle Li said it well" According to Hou Junji's shameless personality of the old horseman, he really did this kind of thing, if he really followed him, he died" Isn't it a vain death?

And what if he really found out that Li Chengqian was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he was already a dead man at that time, how could he have a chance to expose Li Chengqian again?

"You know you're scared, right?" Looking down at Gongsun Helan, Li Ji patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "You have to think twice before doing anything, your reckless temperament should also be changed, you know" Not someone will always be around to remind you. ”

"And you kid, too!" After speaking, Li Ji turned his head and glanced at Li Zhen again, and said sharply: "I act frizzily on weekdays, if Xiao Lan'er hadn't spoken in advance, I'm afraid you would have jumped out, right?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhen shrunk his neck, "Hehe, he laughed twice, and his body took two steps back, not daring to speak."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Li has taught him a lesson" The little nephew was indeed reckless. Gongsun Helan said with a shy smile: "Thanks to Uncle Li by his side, otherwise the little nephew is afraid that it will be more auspicious, or how to say that Uncle Li is the noble man of the little nephew" Follow Uncle Li, you will be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”

"Hehe, you kid, you're not thin-skinned." Shaking his head and chuckling, Li Ji looked at Li Chengqian and his entourage who were far away, and asked Gongsun Helan in a faint voice seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that along the way, you have been secretly monitoring His Royal Highness the Prince, but is it true?" ”

"I know I can't hide it from you." Carefully raised his head and glanced at Li Ji, Gongsun Helan smiled and said: "The little nephew heard it early in the morning, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Hou Junji had broken the connection" There has always been a secret connection, and it is because the little nephew has kept his mind along the way, so as not to be betrayed by the prince when he gets it, and he will not even know how to die when he dies. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Helan gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's hateful that the prince and the little eunuch beside him are secretive" have never caught their sore feet, otherwise there would not have been the defeat in front of the city last time. ”

Because of some unbelievable rumors, "You dare to send someone to spy on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", Li Ji said to Gongsun Helan with a calm face: "You are so bold!" ”

"There is no wind and no waves, isn't the little nephew doing this to ensure everything? And doing this can not only prevent any accidents, but also ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why not? Gongsun Helan leaned towards Li Ji's side with a shy face, blinked and whispered: "If the little nephew guessed well, Uncle Li didn't just know about it, right?" ”

As the commander of the first army, how much of Li Ji's affairs in the army can be hidden from his eyes, especially Li Chengqian, the side of the crown prince, how could he not specially arrange guards to guard in secret? Therefore, from the very beginning, Gongsun Helan never expected that his little tricks could hide from Li Ji's eyes.

Therefore, to a certain extent, "in the matter of spying on Li Chengqian, Li Ji can also be regarded as an accomplice of Gongsun Helan." Knowing but not stopping, isn't that Sen's deliberate connivance and implicit?

"Ahem!" Li Ji coughed lightly twice a little uncomfortably, and then became angry, "flew up and kicked Gongsun Helan's ass, and shouted: "Get out of the city for Lao Tzu!" Prepare 1,000 soldiers, ready to go out of the city at any time to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back! ”

"Yes! The last will obey! Covering his buttocks, Gongsun Helan trotted all the way down the city tower, with a smile on his face, and the foot on his ass could be exchanged for Li Ji's support and acquiescence, which was worth it.

"Dad", watching Gongsun Helan running down to the city, Li Zhen asked his father: "Do you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will really collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Tang Kingdom will be his in the future, what is he trying to do this? ”

"Yes, the old man also wants to know what he is drawing?" Li Ji sighed softly, although there has been no tangible evidence, but for Li Chengqian, the crown prince, Li Ji no longer has the trust he had when he first came.

It is indeed possible for Hou Junji to predict it, but as Xiao Lan'er said a few days ago, Hou Junji is more capable, can he really accurately predict the precise time and know when they will start attacking?

What's more, what Hou Junji knows is "not just the exact time, Li Ji knows very well in his heart, judging from the situation of the last battle" Hou Junji even knows the number of soldiers and specific types of troops dispatched by the Tang Dynasty, and they are also ambushed in a targeted manner when they are ambushed, otherwise, how could they have so many losses?

All the plans are only known to himself and the prince, and now that the news has been leaked, it is difficult for Li Ji not to doubt it. It's just that there is no direct evidence, and he is also afraid of Li Chengqian's identity as the crown prince overseer, otherwise, according to Li Ji's previous temper, he would not allow a traitor to stay by his side.

"The human heart is unpredictable!" sighed softly, Li Ji's eyes were fixed on the outside of the city, and he had no interest in speaking, Li Zhen saw this, and stood aside with interest, no longer speaking.

Under the city, Gongsun Helan was already in full array, and ordered people to watch the movements of the enemy camp at the head of the city, "As long as Li Chengqian and his party show up, they will rush out of the city and escort a few people back."

"Boss, they're out!" In less than half an hour, the soldiers at the head of the city saw a few vague figures in the distance, and said loudly to Helan, the prince under the city: "There is no abnormality behind you, you can open the city gate to greet you!" ”

"It's over so soon? Sure enough, there is a leg! Gongsun Helan snorted hard under the city, and shouted to the city gate officials: "Open the city gate for Lao Tzu!" ”

Whether you want to or not" Gongsun Helan still rushed out of the city with a group of men and horses to pick up the people, and after they entered the city safely, Li Ji and his son also happened to come down from the city.

The group returned to the camp tent and sat down in the tent, Li Ji glanced up at Li Chengqian, and took the lead in asking him: "I don't know what the result of His Royal Highness the Prince's trip was?" Is Hou Junji willing to retire and surrender? ”

"Returning to General Li to know!" Li Chengqian swept away the weakness of the previous injury, and stood up" Hongsheng said to Li Jiyu: "After some painstaking persuasion from King Gu, Hou Junji has the intention of surrendering and retreating. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned his head a little proudly, wanting to take a look at the surprised and surprised expressions of the generals in the account, but the result made him very disappointed, except for a few young generals whose faces changed slightly, coach Li Ji, as well as Gongsun Helan, Li Zhen and other major generals were all indifferent, as if they had not heard what they said at all.

"What about the conditions?" Seeing that Li Chengqian's face was a little embarrassed, Li Ji answered at the right time and asked Li Chengqian lightly: "Come to think of it, Hou Junji will not surrender and retreat for no reason, right?" ”

The current situation is very clear, Hou Junji is obviously on the advantageous side, if there is not enough interest driven" Li Ji does not believe that Hou Junji will be stupid and give up his advantages and submit to Tang.

"The conditions are very simple", Fang just begged for a boring one, and Li Chengqian no longer had the heart to show off his exploits" and said directly to Li Ji: "In addition to asking for another reduction of half of Gaochang's tribute, and not holding Gaochang accountable for sending troops this time," Hou Junji also demanded that the imperial court must hand over Liu Yiyi and his family to avenge the vengeance of his Hou family's ruin. ”

"Huh?!"

This time, many people began to look at Li Chengqian with some surprise, with incomprehension, contempt, and a hint of incredulity and disbelief in their eyes.

Who is Liu Yiyi, that is your Li Chengqian's life-saving benefactor, life-saving, healing legs, and more importantly, saving the life of the eldest grandson empress" so that Li Chengqian will not lose the biggest backer in the palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Chengqian has the grace of recreation.

But now, if you say give up, you give up?! is still like this to his savior, "If he really becomes an emperor in the future, then can they still get a good place in these counties?"

"Fart!" Gongsun Helan was the first to stand up, glanced at Li Chengqian with disdain, and said loudly: "If I, the Tang Dynasty, need to sacrifice some meritorious officials who have made great contributions to the country and the people even to deal with a small Gaochang Kingdom, then who else will be willing to serve the Tang Dynasty in the future?" What kind of face does my Datang still have to gain a foothold in the Northwest countries? What kind of face do you have to say to the people of the Tang Dynasty to protect the family and defend the country, "protect their thoroughness?" ”！ ~！
