Zhang Xutuo asked Li Xuanba not to do anything, quietly waiting for Wang Shichong's arrival, in a sense, Zhang Xutuo's heart has been cold, the five horsemen were never timid to tens of thousands of thieves, but because of Yang Guang and Yang Tong's attitude, they became that look, Rao is Li Xuanba is unwilling to hand over the Xingyang army to Zhang Xutuo, he still feels very pity.

Leaving the prison, Li Xuanba cleaned up and went to Guozijian. Although the eastern capital is moving, it has not affected the daily life of the country, the royal family and the children of the powerful still have to go to school every day, which is not only a matter of learning knowledge, but also related to the face of the imperial court, even if Luoyang does not even have wood to burn the fire, the imperial court still has to maintain its dignity.

In the past few months, Guozijian has changed a lot, the sound of reading aloud in the past no longer exists, Liu Changgong's attack on Luokou war, so that many students who were originally studying in Guozijian gave their lives, and the sadness of the departure of his companions still lingers in Guozijian.

"I'm very happy that you're back." There is no imaginary warm hug, and there is no shy and infinite girlish style, Yang Ling said very calmly, which made Li Xuanba a little disappointed, but thinking of Yang Ling's fear in the past few months, Li Xuanba couldn't blame her for being cold, and some were just distressed.

"You're here, of course I'll be back." Li Xuanba walked up to Yang Ling and said softly: "These days, I have wronged you. Yang Ling's expression moved slightly, and he quickly calmed down again.

An invisible chasm was separated between the two, Yang Ling turned his back to Li Xuanba, looked at the gradually yellowing greenery of the courtyard, and said in a tone that rejected people thousands of miles away: "You are not in charge of the overall situation in the army, what are you doing here?" ”

"I know that you have resentment and hatred in your heart, but I am not the same as my father." Li Xuanba felt guilty, and still said gently: "The situation in Luoyang, the princess should know in her heart, I come back at this time, I think you can understand my mind." ”

Li Xuanba's guilt is not because of Li Yuan's rebellion, but more because of the predicament of the Eastern Capital today.

Not long after Li Mi arrived in Wagang, Li Xuanba had the opportunity to let Qin Qiong and others kill him, but because of his self-righteousness, he led to the situation of being trapped in Luoyang today, so Li Xuanba felt very guilty. But if there is no Li Mi, will there be Zhao Mi and Wang Mi?

"Come back, come back, Luoyang is not very stable, you should be careful yourself." After Yang Ling said this, he walked up to the arch bridge alone, Li Xuanba wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yang Yuan.

Li Xuanba turned his head to look at Yang Yuan, but saw that Yang Yuan rarely showed an unbearable expression, shook his head slightly, Li Xuanba understood, arched his hand to Yang Yuan, and left.

"He shouldn't have come back." Yang Ling looked at the flowing water under the bridge and said softly: "He is the son of Tang Guogong, even if he can hold Luoyang, the court will not let him go." ”

"At least his heart for the princess is true." Yang Yuan comforted him and said, "Is it a little too cruel for the princess to treat him like this?" ”

"As long as he lives, what's the point of being cruel?" Yang Ling smiled bitterly, found that there were ripples on the surface of the water, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a light rain in the sky at some point.

Yang Yuan was obsessed with practicing martial arts and didn't understand the relationship between men and women, she looked at the sword in her hand, thinking that if this sword was broken because of herself, she would be very sad, right? Maybe that's how the princess is feeling right now?

The rain fell to the ground with a ticking sound, and when Li Xuanba left the Guozijian, he was already upset, but at this time he became even more irritable, he reached out and wiped the water droplets on his face, and then turned his hand into a knife and wiped it on his neck without a trace.

After doing that action, Li Xuanba walked silently in the rain, letting the drizzle wet his clothes. The air is mixed with the smell of burning silk, coupled with the existence of fecal drainage canals, the smell of Luoyang is disgusting. Li Xuanba's pace gradually accelerated, passing through more than a dozen streets and alleys, and finally appeared in front of a private house.

The door of the house was closed, Li Xuanba stepped forward and knocked three times quickly, the door opened in response, Fang Xuanling nodded, and introduced Li Xuanba into the courtyard.

"They are in good physical condition and feel more energetic after eating." Fang Xuanling said as he walked: "The doctor has also come to see before and confirmed that they have no hidden diseases. Li Xuanba responded, but his brows still did not stretch.

Every residence in Luoyang is built with great care, and such an ordinary house is divided into front yards and backyards. The two walked for a while, and when they entered the backyard, they saw Li Zhiyun and Li Qifu standing in the verandah, looking at the raindrops in the courtyard with mixed feelings.

Li Xuanba's clothes were already soaked, and the umbrella Fang Xuanling was holding was more like an ornament, and Li Qifu saw the two of them, jumping over the fence of the verandah, and half-kneeling in the muddy water in the courtyard. Li Zhiyun's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Xuanba, watching him help Li Qifu up, and watching him help Li Qifu to his side.

"I'm grateful that you were able to save Zhiyun." Li Xuanba bowed down and said, Li Qifu suddenly seemed at a loss, and wanted to help Li Xuanba up, but he couldn't shake Li Xuanba at all, so he knelt down on one knee again without hesitation. Li Xuanba easily pulled him up and continued: "You have done something that is kind to me, and you deserve this salute from me. ”

"It is a blessing for a villain to be able to serve his son." Li Qifu bowed and said.

Li Xuanba smiled, turned his head and glanced at Li Zhiyun, and said in his heart that he finally had something that made him happy today, he touched Li Zhiyun's head, and then pushed open the door and entered the room.

Li Zhiyun followed in, and said with a little apprehension: "Thank you third brother for saving me." ”

"I just don't want my mother to be sad." Li Xuanba motioned for Li Zhiyun and the others to sit down, and said, "What happened over there in Hedong?" Li Zhiyun's eyes were misty, and he was silent.

Li Qifu hesitated for a moment, told what happened in Hedong, and told the story of why he stayed in Luoyang.

It turned out that after the two of them escaped from Hedong, they planned to settle down in the Tang Mansion in Luoyang first, but they didn't expect the Tang Mansion to be sealed, so they prepared to go to Xingyang by boat, but before they could make the trip, they heard that Li Xuanba led the army to Luoyang, and Li Qifu waited near the Tang Mansion until Fang Xuanling appeared.

"You're doing the right thing." Li Xuanba praised: "In the face of danger, Mr. Wei and Li Gou really taught good students. After a pause, he continued: "Qi Jian's life is not in danger for the time being, he will be arrested in order to save Zhiyun, I will not leave him alone." When Li Qifu heard this, he was very moved, and Fang Xuanling sighed softly.

Li Zhiyun felt that he was a complete outsider in the room, and seemed a little restless, Li Xuanba saw his restraint and said to him: "Mother must be very worried about you, you recuperate here for a few days, I will find a way to send you to Taiyuan, so that my mother can feel at ease." ”

"I don't want to go back." Li Zhiyun gritted his teeth and said: "Qi Jian didn't get out of danger for a day, I have been following the third brother, and I am willing to do whatever the third brother wants to give him to do." ”

Li Xuanba had no impression of Li Zhiyun as a person, he originally thought that Li Zhiyun was just a powerful child who followed Li Jiancheng, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

In fact, it is not a wise move to send Li Zhiyun to Taiyuan at this time, if you are not careful, it will bring unwarranted disasters to yourself, Li Xuanba thought about it, nodded and said: "That's fine, but always find a way to let your mother know that you are safe." ”
