Chapter 161: Xu Shiji's Surrender to Tang (3)

After Mrs. Cao returned to the palace, she showed the jade seal to Dou Jiande:

"Husband, look what I've brought back."

"What a good thing! Look at the lady to be happy. When Mrs. Cao showed the jade seal in front of Dou Jiande's eyes, Dou Jiande hesitated for a moment, and then his face was full of surprise:

"Madam, isn't this jade seal in the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao? How did it get into your hands. Mrs. Cao said that Empress Dowager Xiao's jade seal, Cao Dan happened to be on the side to inspect and save them:

"King, the matter of this jade seal has been leaked, and it has attracted so many people to rob it, and it is bound to win it by looking at their frame. According to the concubines, why don't we move them to another place and strengthen the guards there, so that no one can enter and disturb them, husband, what do you see? "Although Dou Jiande is a martial artist, but many years of career in Rong Ma have made him a thoughtful person, when he just heard that Cao Dan passed by there to save the Empress Dowager Xiao, he was a little puzzled, and then heard that Mrs. Cao was going to move the Empress Dowager Xiao and her party to another place, and began to understand what was going on. Dou Jiande looked at the jade seal in his hand again, and felt the delicacy and coldness in his hand.

"Just do as Madame wants!" Mrs. Cao received Dou Jiande's instructions and immediately instructed Cao Dan to move Empress Dowager Xiao and her party to a villa on the outskirts of Leshou. Cao Dan came to the annex where Empress Dowager Xiao lived.

"See the Queen Mother!"

"Yo! It's Lord Cao! Lord Cao, the women see Lord Cao, quickly move a chair for Lord Cao. ”

"Ahh The mother is too polite. How did you not see Laiheng! Cao Dan looked around the room, and Lai Ji hurriedly said:

"Hey! Not to mention the thing that doesn't grow, I don't know what wild bees and butterflies I encountered a few days ago, and I ran out all day long, no, I don't know where to go to the flower street and willow lane. After Cao Dan heard this, he smiled:

"Hahaha! Young people! Bloody Fanggang, huh! Niangniang, King Dou heard that Niangniang was attacked, he felt very uneasy, in another mountain villa in the suburbs, the atmosphere was quiet and elegant, and he specially ordered the lower officials to escort the Niangniang forward, please Niangniang quickly pack up her things, follow the lower officials to settle, the carriage and horses have been prepared, please Niangniang hurry up and get on the road. Yang Qi thought that there was going to be some danger, so he ran into the arms of the Empress Dowager Xiao and hugged him tightly, and the Empress Dowager Xiao patted his head:

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Then obediently took Yang Qi's hand and followed behind Cao Dan and boarded the carriage outside the door. When Lai Heng came back from the market to inquire about the news, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of the mansion, he guessed that something must have happened, squeezed into the crowd, and saw that the Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Qi were escorted into the carriage, and Lai Heng was about to go up to rescue him, and the Empress Dowager Xiao had already discovered him:

"Fellow villagers, my Xiao family is taken care of by King Dou, today King Dou heard that my Xiao family is not used to living here, specially for us to change a more quiet and elegant place, please tell me that nephew who is not a weapon, don't worry about me, the sky is high and the birds can fly, the sea is wide and the fish can jump, do your own thing." After speaking, the people got into the carriage, and as the Empress Dowager Xiao left the carriage and horses, the people discussed:

"King Dou is benevolent and righteous, grateful to the old master, he is really a saint!" An old scholar pinched his beard and said:

"Hey! They are rich and noble, who knows what's going on!? I look at mystery! "Dou Jiande was born in poverty, and he is not so strict with the control of the people's speech, the people can say whatever they want, and Lai Heng looked at the direction of the carriage in the park, 'Niangniang, your entrustment, the minister will definitely do it.'" The news of Empress Dowager Xiao and Yuxi slowly spread to Chang'an, and Li Yuan immediately brought Li Jiancheng to discuss:

"Built, have you heard the news that Empress Dowager Xiao and Yuxi appeared in Le Shou? Do you think we should also send an envoy to offer condolences? To express my gift as a courtier of the Great Sui. On the way here, Yang Yan cried and begged Li Jiancheng, wanting Li Jiancheng to ask Li Yuan to go to Dou Jiande to welcome back the grandchildren of Empress Dowager Xiao, but Li Jiancheng had other plans in his heart:

"Father, now we are just trapped in Guanzhong, the rebellion of Xue Ju in the northwest has not yet been pacified, Liu Wuzhou in the east is eyeing our army, and our army is still weak enough to deal with these, the child thinks that this matter should wait until we first consolidate our base area, and then make plans after the Shimin Yuanba pacifies the northwest."

"Hmmm! Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, and Wu Shiyan have all told me about these things, so what do you mean? ”

"The child thinks that in troubled times, strength comes first, that Empress Dowager Xiao just appeared in Leshou, Youzhou Luo Yibian immediately surrendered to Dou Jiande, as soon as the jade seal appeared, he immediately went to fight for it again, it seems that this is a trip to troubled waters, we still ignore it." Li Yuan listened to Li Jiancheng's words, nodded, and waved him down. After Li Jiancheng returned to the prince's mansion, Zheng Wanzhen timidly ran to report to Li Jiancheng:

"Husband! There is a person from my mother's house, and I want to ask my husband to help me settle it. Because Zheng Wanzhen never interfered in business, and never interceded for her mother's family, looking at Zheng Wanzhen's expectant eyes, Li Jiancheng felt a little strange:

"Madam, who the hell asked you to intercede!"

"It's my cousin-in-law, Xu Shiji. Something big happened to his family and he wanted to 。。。。。。。 Before Zheng Wanzhen finished speaking, Li Jiancheng hurriedly ran into the house:

"Someone! Take me to see Brother Shiji, hurry! When Li Jiancheng was taken to the guest room by his subordinates.

"Brother of the world!"

"Humble Xu Shiji, see the prince of the world!"

"Brother Shiji! Haven't you been staying in Rongyang's hometown to study and keep your business, why did you suddenly come to Chang'an alone. Zheng Wanzhen helped arrange a reception banquet in the backyard and took care of Xu Shiji's son Zhen'er, and in Xu Shiji's narration, Li Jiancheng knew what happened in Luoyang. Under the movement of Bing Yuanzhen, Li Mi desperately attacked Rongyang, General Wei Jin died in Rongyang, Rongyang Zheng's children suffered heavy casualties, and Bing Yuanzhen secretly colluded with Wang Shichong, and wantonly encircled Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin, so that Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin defected in Luoyang halfway, sneak attack from Li Mi's rear, and defeated Li Mi, Shan Xiongxin in order to cover Li Mi's retreat, desperately resisted and was captured by Wang Shichong, Li Mi retreated under the escort of Wang Bodang, and then Wang Shichong colluded with Luoyang guard Duan Da in the name of offering prisoners, and removed the palace guards, Grasp the Luoyang city defense affairs in his own hands, falsely spread Yang Dong's will, and destroy Yuan Wendu and Lu Chumanmen. And in the name of Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu's collusion with Li Mi, Xu Shiji and Lu Chu colluded to send his sons Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong to Rongyang to arrest Xu Shiji.

"Uncle, uncle! Big things are not good. ”

"Fauber! What's going on, panicked?! Didn't you meet Luoyang with the master? "It was Zheng Fu, the personal butler of Xu Shiji's father-in-law Zheng Yuancong, who shouted that it was not good.

"A few days ago, I went back to Luoyang with my lord to report on my work, who knew that the lord was arrested by the forbidden army as soon as he arrived at the Yamen, saying that the lord colluded with Li Mi to rebel, and I saw that the big thing was not good, so I came back quickly to report."

"Not good! They're coming at me. Take down my father-in-law first, and then deal with me. ”

"Husband! Hurry up and take Zhen'er away! ”

"Ma'am, how can this work!? Let's go. At this time, another person came to report!

"Uncle, Miss, I don't know what's going on, a large group of officers and soldiers are coming, and when they come to the Zhuangzi, they will kill them, Uncle, Miss, run away!" Zheng Xiuli wrapped Zhen'er around Xu Shiji's back, and brought Xu Shiji's BMW.

"No! Husband, I'm just a weak female streamer, if you take me away, it will drag you down, Zhen'er will leave it to you, go quickly! With that, he struck the horse on the buttocks, and the horse was frightened and galloped out. Xu Shiji fought all the way, rushed out of Rongyang's manor, and looked back in the direction of the manor, only to see that the fire was soaring, filled with the sound of men being killed, soldiers looting property, and women being insulted. Xu Shiji clenched his fists.

"I, Xu Shiji, swear to the sky that one day I must lead my troops to gallop the world and defeat Wang Shichong to avenge today's revenge."
