On the way to Anxi, Li Zhe imagined many scenes when he met Li Xian, but in all the scenes, he never imagined that after a few years, their first reunion would be to meet on the city wall of Bazhou under the cruel scene of fighting.

He had also imagined many times in his mind what he would be like when he saw Lee Hyun.

But when he saw Li Xian at the head of the city, he was still shocked by the appearance of Li Xian in front of him, his weather-beaten complexion, his lonely and seemingly unmet loss, although he stood at the head of the city with a horizontal knife in his hand, but it still made Li Zhe unbelievable that the middle-aged man in front of him who looked like he was thirty or forty years old, but in fact he was only in his twenties.

What is even more unexpected to him is that he and Li Hong have been in constant grievances for many years, except for the time when they were in Chang'an City, in order to rescue Li Dan, the three brothers temporarily joined forces, and the rest of the time, there has always been a faint open and secret struggle between the sixth and fifth children.

But this time, Li Xian actually fought with the herdsmen outside the city for Li Hong's subordinates to have no worries, and chose to defend Bazhou City for Xue Rengui and Heizhi Changzhi, which made him have to look at Li Xian with admiration, and wondered why Li Xian had changed so much.

In great contrast to his appearance, the imperial sister-in-law Fang Shi who is not far from him now, although she is dressed plainly, she can't hide her beautiful cheeks and delicate figure, which is not much different from when she was in Chang'an City, except for her clothes.

But if there is any difference, it is that Fang Muqing is now the mother of two children.

Li Xian looked at Li Zhe, who was working with him, and said to Fang Muqing, who was personally making tea and pouring water beside him: "You take the child down, and the two of us will talk for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian was tired of being by his side with one hand, and he kept peeking at Li Zhe and Li Guangshun curiously, and pushed it to Fang Muqing.

Fang Muqing smiled and nodded, holding their eldest son Li Guangshun with one hand and the second son Li Guangren in his arms with the other, and after saluting Li Zhe with difficulty, he walked to the inner house.

Now the mansion has been changed back to his original mansion in Bazhou, and the thirty or so domestic servants are placed in the mansion of Nuoda, which is no longer as crowded as before, and life is much more comfortable than in the past two years.

Especially after Xue Rengui and others sent a lot of things, and after Li Zhe specially brought some items for him from Chang'an this time, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this Yuan Day, maybe he will have a good life, but what about the future?

Li Xianchang sighed, his future life may not be in his own hands at all.

"How can he rest assured that you will come to Anxi?" The two brothers were silent for a long time, and finally Li Xian was the first to ask.

Li Zhe glanced at him, it seemed that the sixth child still had a big opinion of Li Hong, so he pouted and said: "I don't have anything to worry about, I'll go wherever he tells me to go?" ”

Li Zhe shrugged, Anbei and Andong were tossed by him, and every day he led his own personal guards, or soldiers borrowed from the Anbei Corps, looking for trouble with the nomads everywhere on the grassland, and after the people heard his name of King Li Zhe, they all wanted to bury the horses that could be ridden in the soil.

For Li Hong's plan to move south, Li Zheke really did everything, plus the letters of the Anbei and Andong Protectorates, although they were all suppressed by Li Hong, and let him come to Anbei and Andong Hulai, squeezing other people's horses.

But as the so-called paper can't hold the fire, Anbei and Anton finally had to write to His Majesty and the Empress, and in the end, Li Hong was forced to recall Li Zhe back to Chang'an under pressure.

In Chang'an, he also had nothing to do every day, and he was still unscrupulous all day long running to the Jinwu Guard Camp that Li Zhi left in the capital, or running to the central army under the control of the prince now, or doing nothing else, or riding a horse to practice fighting.

In the end, someone really couldn't stand the chickens and dogs he tossed with the Central Army in Jinwuwei, and it happened to be time, so he rushed to Anxi.

"It's time to be emperor, right?" Li Xian looked at the warm sun outside, motioned for Li Zhe to drink tea, and said.

"Emperor? Hehe. ”

Li Xian looked at Li Zhe's reaction strangely, could it be that he was also dissatisfied with Li Hong? Or is there something going on in Chang'an? Why did you mention that the fifth emperor was called, Li Zhe had this expression.

"What? Father is unwilling to take the throne? Li Xian asked lightly again.

"It would be nice if that was the case, I also just received the news, and now one is willing to Zen, and the other is unwilling to take it, so the two of them are so stiff." Li Zhe said weakly, as if complaining: "You also wonder about this, my Li family's country, whether it is the first emperor or my father's generation, is vying for that chair, but in front of these two people, it has become a point where no one wants to inherit it, so is the throne really worthless now?" Especially Li Hong, it's really weird. ”

"Maybe my father has someone else in mind." Li Xian sighed and said quietly.

"Pull it down, now my Tang Dynasty's throne depends on whether my father and the fifth child are willing or not, and whether they can reach a consensus. In my opinion, if anyone dares to fight the idea of the throne now, in exchange for the blow of the fifth person will no longer be the same as the fifth person, and the joint father will also teach him a lesson, in short, this throne is now, the two of us can one want to Zen the throne, and the other is unwilling to inherit the trick, but the others want to be involved, and it is strange that the two of them don't destroy you into ashes. Li Zhe's words obviously meant something, in front of Li Xian, this was something he would never say before, but now, in the face of Li Xian, he had no scruples.

In the past few years, he has also measured whether the fifth child is at ease or not at ease with him, whether it is Anbei, Andong, Chang'an or Anxi, he can let himself mess around, but there is a premise, that is, you are not allowed to worry about the throne, then everything is easy to say.

Therefore, Li Zhe has always been cautious of the bottom line, never worried about the throne, I just want to be a free prince, you just need to let me have a good time, this is also the reason why Li Hong let him mess around, even if he is sent to Anxi, Li Hong is a hundred at ease with him.

Li Xian looked at Li Zhe sideways, smiled and didn't speak again, this warning was obviously said by Li Zhe to himself, and he didn't refute it, he shook his head and smiled disapprovingly.

There was a brief silence between the two again, and after a while, Li Zhe opened his mouth and said, "Li Chunfeng is back." ”

"Coming back?" Li Xian was still shocked in his heart, although he had been in distant Anxi, but when he was not exiled, some people had already said that Li Chunfeng would follow Xu Fu's assumption of defecting overseas.

Even once he thought that this was the biggest failure in Li Hong's control of his subordinates, that is, he gave Li Chunfeng enough financial, material, and human resources, and finally developed a white-eyed wolf, but he didn't expect that after almost four years, he would come back!

Li Zhe nodded noncommittally and continued: "Lao Wu didn't elaborate in the letter, but just said that Li Chunfeng's voyages in the past few years have been extremely important to my Datang and have brought a lot of auspicious ....... ”

"That's why my father moved his mind to Zen? Are you planning to Zen in Li Hong now, and you came to Anxi this time on the orders of Li Hong, to deal with what I should do in the future, right? Li Xian looked at Li Zhe, who had been spitting and talking about him left and right, and finally guessed Li Zhe's true motive, and said coldly.

"The Tang Dynasty descended auspiciously, Li Hong didn't want this merit comparable to the great merit of the first emperor, and planned to give it to his father, so in the past three or five years, Li Hong did not plan to inherit the throne, originally he wanted to personally cultivate what messy new species brought back by Li Chunfeng, saying that it could completely improve the food and clothing of the people, but he was preempted by his father, and finally let him supervise the country, and his father and mother went to farm, incredible, right? But Li Hongxin said so, and he was very dissatisfied with his father's scramble. Li Zhe smiled, did not answer Li Xian's words, and said lightly.

Li Zhe's words didn't sound like much, but in Li Xian's ears, it was more like Li Hong was showing off to him, and he was naturally extremely indignant when he was demonstrating to him so simply with the throne, but he couldn't say anything.

The feeling of being in his throat made Li Xian extremely uncomfortable, but now that he is just a concubine, he has been exiled to Bazhou, and he can't do anything at all, and even his fate now is in the hands of others.

"So what." Li Xian asked in a deep voice.

"That's why I'm here." Li Zhe's face also became solemn, and he continued: "Father and mother discussed your affairs with the fifth child, and when they learned that you were oppressed in Bazhou, the father and mother hoped to take you back to Chang'an ....... ”

"Really?" Li Xian suddenly turned sideways, his face was full of hope, and the only hand grabbed Li Zhe's arm and asked eagerly.

"Yes, but Li Hong didn't agree." Li Zhe turned his head and looked back at Li Xian's gaze and said.

"Am I not miserable enough? Could it be that I'm a wasted person, so he is so scared that he doesn't even dare to let me go back to Chang'an? What is he afraid of? I'm afraid that I won't be able to compete with him for the throne! I only have one arm left now! He's ruined my whole life already! The will of the father and the queen mother, does he dare not follow it! Great rebellion! Great rebellion! He is the most rebellious prince of my Tang Dynasty! Li Xian looked fierce, his expression was hideous, the knuckles of Li Zhe's arm were already white, and he said in a trembling and angry voice.

Li Zhe motionlessly let Li Xian grab his arm with one hand, looking at Li Xian in front of him with some pity and pain in his eyes, he really couldn't figure it out, couldn't Li Xian be good, why did he have to fight with Li Hong?

Do you have to die until you die? Doesn't he know that he can't fight Li Hong at all!

"Some time ago, the queen mother and the fifth child went to the West Market, and found several ornaments that were lost from the royal family in the West Market." Li Zhe remained motionless, looked at Li Xian expressionlessly, and said lightly.
