The river is nearly two hundred miles away from Jiaoniu Mountain, Li Xuanba and others rushed all the way, closed the city gate and advanced to the city, under the leadership of Li Lin and Li Song, the four of them came to a mansion.

It can be seen that Dou Jiande attaches great importance to the eldest grandson Wuji, and hundreds of soldiers are surrounding the mansion, and the idle people dare not approach at all. Perhaps it was under the orders of the eldest grandson Wuji, the guards at the main gate did not stop Li Lin and the others when they saw them, took the reins from them, and let them into the courtyard. The leader summoned his entourage, whispered a few words, and the retinue nodded, and ran towards the stables.

Waiting for his relatives to leave, the general breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Night Wind and Red Flame seriously for a while, with a look of envy on his face.

"This is your guest's horse, you guys take good care of it, if there is a single hair missing, watch your head!" After a long time, the general said solemnly to a few soldiers.

The location of the mansion is very remote, natural and clean, Li Xuanba and the eldest grandson Wuji were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, hearing the shouts in front of the door, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Brother Wuji, King Xia is indeed not thin on you." Li Xuanba said with a smile: "Xuanba can enjoy such treatment only because of your light this time." ”

"Childe, don't be funny." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I haven't seen you for a few months, I don't know how the matter is handled on the son's side?" ”

Li Xuanba briefly explained the situation on Huairong's side, and also told Li Jiuzhi and others about the temporary stationing of Jiaoniu Mountain, of course, there were some things he didn't mention, such as his own injury.

"With his scheming, it's not surprising that he did such a thing." After listening to Li Xuanba's story, the eldest grandson Wuji was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "Jiaoniu Mountain is far away from here, Wuji is very strange, why did the son choose that place?" It's not here. Childe doesn't plan to go back to Jiangdu directly? ”

It's easy to talk to smart people, and they don't have to say too much to make them understand what they're thinking.

"Brother Wuji, do you think Xuanba will go back to Jiangdu directly after leaving Huairong?" Li Xuanba didn't answer the rhetorical question, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji nodding. He smiled slightly and said, "Even if you think I'll go back, then others will definitely think the same, in that case, why don't we do something unexpected and do something unexpected?" ”

"Childe, maybe you should listen to what Wuji knows, and then decide where to go." The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed slightly, worried that Li Xuanba would be like when he attacked the Jin Tomb. Take another risky move, and said quickly.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji's face was not very good, Li Xuanba's heart sank, and he said, "Please speak." ”

"The Turks sent envoys over to bring the Empress Dowager to the Turks, and the current strength of the King of Xia is simply unable to resist the Turkic army." The eldest grandson Wuji looked ashamed, and arched his hand: "Wuji can't invite the empress dowager to Jiangdu." Please also ask the son to punish him. ”

"Turks?" Li Xuanba frowned and thought for a moment. He said uncertainly: "Princess Yicheng? ”

Princess Yicheng was originally the daughter of the clan, but was named a princess by Yang Guang, married to the Turks, and made peace. The so-called harmony is to sacrifice the happiness of Princess Yicheng and seek peace on the border of the Great Sui.

It is said that Princess Yicheng is as beautiful as a flower, tall and fair-skinned, and is recognized as a beauty.

"The envoy did say that it was an edict from Princess Fengyicheng." The eldest grandson, Wuji, replied: "Wuji just doesn't understand. What is the purpose of her move? ”

"If it weren't for Princess Yicheng, the first emperor would have been buried in Yanmen Pass, she disregarded her own safety, falsely spread the news, and forced the Khan to withdraw his troops, so as to relieve the siege of Yanmen Pass, which can prove that her heart is still biased towards the Great Sui." Li Xuanba's brows furrowed a little deeper, and he said softly: "But taking the Empress Dowager into the Turkic tent will undoubtedly put the Empress Dowager in danger, and it is indeed strange for her to do this." By the way, how did the Empress Dowager reply? ”

"Yu Wenhua and the head of the owl, the Empress Dowager has no worries, she has already promised the messenger." The eldest grandson Wuji said: "However, the Empress Dowager seems to want to see you, she asked the envoy to rest in the palace for a few days, and the King of Xia sent someone to entertain them with delicious food and drink." ”

"It seems that this matter can only be figured out when I see the Queen Mother." Li Xuanba and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't know Princess Yicheng, so they didn't know her thoughts at all, and it was useless to speculate here: "There are other things?" ”

"Xu Shiji was defeated and captured, and he was being imprisoned in the county jail in Hejian at this time." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and continued: "Wuji has obtained the consent of King Xia, and he can take Gongzi to see him at any time. ”

"I've already heard about him, so you can accompany me later." Li Xuanba thought about it, and felt that he was not in a hurry to see Xu Shiji, so he said casually: "Since he is in the river, it is impossible to run." After a pause, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and continued with a solemn face: It's rare to see you look flustered, could it be that there is still bad news?"

"Childe has been running all the way, so he must not know Li Mi's whereabouts, right?" The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.

"The Wagang army is disheartened, otherwise Xu Shiji would not be captured easily, I think he doesn't have the courage to make a comeback." Thinking that the once-prosperous Wagangzhai collapsed overnight, Li Xuanba was not only happy, but also sighed with emotion: "He designed to kill Zhai Rang, how many people in the world dare to tolerate him?" King Xia is jealous and hateful, and the Southern Sui, Northern Sui and Wagang have a deep hatred, and he will not dare to defect to these places, so his only way out is to defect to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Xuanba's words surprised the eldest grandson Wuji very much, not because Li Xuanba's analysis was the head, if he knew that Li Mi had given up reviving Wagangzhai, he could also analyze Li Mi's way out, but he never thought that Li Mi would accept his fate!

"It's not hard to think about." Li Xuanba's face was calm, and he shrugged his shoulders and said: "The generals he trusted, were basically captured by Wang Shichong, only Wang Bodang and a few people still followed him with all their hearts, in the face of the army of the Northern Sui court, what else could Li Mi do except take refuge in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

In fact, if Li Mi led the remnants of the army to join Xu Shiji when the army was defeated and sat in Liyang Cang, he could reassure the soldiers to some extent, but Li Mi was very suspicious, worried that Xu Shiji would hold a grudge, so he didn't dare to go to Liyang at all, and missed the opportunity to recover the decline.

Of course, there are other reasons why Li Xuanba dares to be sure that Li Mi defected to Datang.

Before Meng Rang died, he told Li Yuan about writing a letter to Li Mi, just because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, Li Mi had no way out, and he could only hope that Li Yuan would not break his promise.

"Datang has strong national strength, and now that Li Mi is like-minded, Wuji is a little worried." Seeing Li Xuanba's indifferent appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said. He wanted to remind Li Xuanba that if the Tang Dynasty was allowed to develop like this, Nansui's situation would be very dangerous.

"Don't worry, others can't tolerate Li Mi, and Datang will definitely not dare to reuse him." Li Xuanba said with a smile. With the vague impression in his mind, Li Xuanba knew that Li Mi would die in Datang after all. (To be continued.) )
