The flames outside the gathering place were not extinguished until dawn the next day.

However, not long after the flames were extinguished, the sound of neat steps followed one after another.

Around the humble house, all the Changxiu sergeants couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

On the other side, there are 2,000 elites. Especially in yesterday's battle, they were full of tricks, and they used human lives to pull down 100 people.

Such a price made all the Changxiu sergeants even more worried in their hearts.

If it weren't for Xia Huan taking the lead, I'm afraid that today, they wouldn't dare to fight head-on with this group of princes' pro-army.

Riding a war horse, today, Li Xu still did not plan to attack head-on.

"Ready!"

Li Xu raised his hand slightly, and a group of subordinates holding torches behind him slowly approached with steps.

However, before he could give another order, the sound of messy footsteps sounded around the messy house.

"Oh? Do you know that you can't stand still, and you're going to fight to the death? The corners of Li Xu's mouth chuckled slightly.

Whether it is a desperate fight or sitting still, it doesn't make much difference to him.

"Changge stepped forward!" Li Xu pulled out the saber at his waist and commanded loudly.

"Is General Lee planning to make trouble?"

Between the messy sheds, Xia Huan also held a sword in his hand and rode a horse, slowly appearing in Li Xu's eyes.

Li Xu frowned, and naturally doubted about Xia Huan's appearance in his heart.

Although he had the dictate given to him by the crown prince Xia Yan, Li Xu still did not dare to act rashly. Especially, a few days ago, Li Xu saw how nervous the prince was about this younger brother.

In this regard, Li Xu was really a little unsure of the status of the Seven Princes in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince.

After thinking for a while, Li Xu still decided not to offend the Seventh Prince in front of him.

People, anyway, can't run away, and some have time to deal with it.

"The last general has seen His Highness!"

Facing Li Xu's bow, Xia Huan still asked coldly, "Is General Li planning to make trouble?" ”

In Li Xu's heart, he suddenly heard the words.

It was enough to say this sentence before, but now I repeat it again, obviously Xia Huan is planning to fight him to the end.

"The last general is under the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I don't know why he is committing chaos!" Since he couldn't be good, Li Xu's tone became tougher.

"This place is under the protection of this king, you ignore the order of this king, you are not committing a rebellion!"

"Your Highness! The last general is under the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and your orders will not be followed! Li Xu arched his hand, emphasizing the words "His Royal Highness the Prince".

"Presumptuous!" Xia Huan, who was on horseback, changed his tone suddenly, and said: "You ignore the king's law, and you dare to quibble!" ”

"Although His Royal Highness is the prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country. The last general was ordered by the prince, and I don't know where to touch the king's law? In the face of Xia Huan's unrelenting tone, Li Xu's tone became heavier and heavier.

"How is the prince? This is Yingshang, which is the fief of this monarch, and this monarch is a fake Yingshang county order personally sealed by His Majesty. Except for Your Majesty, no one's orders are easy to do here! Could it be that in your heart, Your Majesty has already been replaced! ”

Xia Huan's words made Li Xu secretly sigh badly.

In the past few days, Xia Huan has almost handed over all the power in the city to the prince.

Everyone subconsciously thinks that the crown prince is in power for granted.

However, now that I think about it, it seems that it really violated the law that Taizu had appointed at the beginning. Except for the emperor, no one can shake the status of the feudal monarch.

Especially the last sentence, it is even more heart-wrenching.

Seeing that his momentum had overwhelmed Li Xu, Xia Huan patted the horse again and slowly walked forward.

"Take your people, leave to Benjun and leave!"

Xia Huan's scolding made Li Xu's face even more ugly.

Some time ago, Xia Huan was already late, and the prince's brother came for him, not from the epidemic outside the city.

Since this is the case, Xia Huan estimates that this Li Xu is also clear in his heart.

Therefore, Xia Huan unscrupulously forced Li Xu and came to a dead end.

Sure enough, Li Xu really entered Xia Huan's expectations. Although his face was cloudy, he still arched his hand and turned his head away.

At the moment when Li Xu turned to leave, a fierce shout suddenly broke out in the shed.

The officers and soldiers left, and apparently, their Seven Highnesses had once again saved them.

Yet, despite their jubilation, as if they had won the battle. However, Xia Huan knew in his heart that Li Xu, as the prince's henchman, could not really leave like this.

Sure enough, as Xia Huan expected. Li Xu just took people with him and retreated a mile away. Then, he immediately sent someone to ask the prince Xia Yan in the city for instructions.

In the county office, Xia Yan also looked uncertainly at the dead name armor who was kneeling below.

Last night, it was they who were attacked and tied up by Chen Zhaoming and Xia Huan. It wasn't discovered until dawn.

After learning that Xia Huan was out of the city, the crown prince Xia Yan, who was already relieved, lifted his heart again.

This time, I was more nervous than before.

Where Xia Huan wanted to go, he knew it in his heart. Originally, though, it was safe. But now, it has become a magical land, and you may be infected with diseases at any time.

Xia Yan lightly hit the table, and after a long time, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Rubbish!"

There was an angry roar that sent shivers down the minds of everyone in the lobby.

Coincidentally, at this time, Li Jin, who got Li Xu's information, walked in. whispered a few words in Xia Yan's ear.

"This old seven, ......"

Xia Yan held his forehead a little helplessly, sighed heavily, and said, "It's really uneasy!" ”

At this moment, Xia Yan couldn't help but regret why he didn't leave Chen An behind.

On the one hand, Chen An can be regarded as Xia Huan's teacher, in addition to caring for Xia Huan, Xia Huan will also listen to Chen An's words a little bit.

On the other hand, since Chen An was able to come here, he had also inquired, and it was on the orders of Empress Jing.

In this case, with Empress Jing's order, he would not act so restrictively.

After all, in addition to this political identity, Queen Jing is also Xia Huan's biological mother. Even if Xia Yan did something excessive, he could use the excuse of educating his younger brother on the orders of his mother.

Xia Yan, who was already annoyed because of Emperor Chu's words, has now become even more irritable.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" On the side, Li Jin asked softly.

"How does Hongu know!" Suddenly, Xia Yan slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"Damn it!"

"That's it!" Xia Yan waved his hand, rubbing his forehead, and said: "You personally go back to Shoudu and ask the queen mother for instructions, just say that you miss the seventh child very much, and edict him to return to the capital." ”

"Whoa!"

Li Jin nodded, and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Xia Yan again.

"Wait! In addition, send someone to go outside the city again. Tell Li Xu that no matter what method he uses in this palace, he will take Lao Qi out of that ghost place for me first! If he can't bring it out, he won't have to come back! ”

Li Jin's heart sank, their two brothers are the prince's right and left hands. For more than ten years, the crown prince had never said such ugly words. It can be seen that this time is really different.

"Whoa!" Li Jin arched his hand and immediately turned to leave.
