There is a remote mansion in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, which occupies a small area, the wall is broken, and the plaque at the main entrance is engraved with several shining characters of the Weiwang Mansion, since Li Yuan captured Chang'an, this mansion has always been vacant, and even almost forgotten.

However, in recent days, the Weiwang Mansion has been cleaned cleanly, and the entire mansion has been closely protected by hundreds of elite soldiers, not only to prevent anyone from being unfavorable to Li Xuanba, but also to prevent Li Xuanba from going crazy in Chang'an City. Everyone including Li Yuan thought that Li Xuanba's purpose in coming to Chang'an was not as simple as making friends with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Southern Sui.

There are no servants and miscellaneous servants in the Weiwang Mansion, and there is no housekeeper concierge, because it is too empty, the originally very small Weiwang Mansion is set off majestic.

Li Xuanba never left after living in Weiwang's Mansion, except for Li Qijian's occasional trip to Beishi to buy some vegetables and mutton, and Wan's once visited, no one else came in and out of Weiwang's Mansion.

Li Jiuzhi and Li Qijian can't cook, so Li Xuanba cooks some delicious dishes in addition to reading books every day, and then the three of them eat and drink in the courtyard. After eating, they threw their rice bowls outside the courtyard and someone else went to clean them up.

"Childe, is our behavior a little naïve?" Li Jiuzhi burped, touched his bulging belly, and said: "The dishes and chopsticks in Chang'an City are enough for me to fall for decades, how can Emperor Tang care if you express your dissatisfaction in this way?" ”

"Don't be smart." Li Xuanba lay comfortably on the railing of the verandah, and replied casually: "What kind of identity is my father, how can I do such a thing as washing dishes?" ”

When Li Qijian heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said secretly: When the villain wants to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, why should the son stop it?

"Childe, you said that you came to Chang'an to take revenge, but now you stay in the mansion all day. How can we avenge Li Lin and Li Song? Li Jiuzhi was used to Li Xuanba's serious nonsense, and Quan Dang didn't hear Li Xuanba's answer: "You don't plan to stay in Chang'an and break enough dishes and chopsticks before leaving, right?" ”

"Revenge is an art, it's not as simple as killing someone." Li Xuanba sat up, looked at the gradually falling leaves in the yard, and said seriously: "Look, the leaves are born from the heart to wither. It will go through a long period of time, and it is not a process from birth to death. Since he will always die, why should my father be in a hurry, it is better to let him taste the taste of torment first, and then die in hope, which is called revenge. ”

"This is Chang'an, after all, it is not suitable for long-term residence." Although Li Jiuzhi thought that it was not worth making revenge so complicated, he also felt that Li Xuanba's way of revenge was more relieving. But. If he puts himself in trouble because of revenge, Li Jiuzhi is more inclined to solve the problem directly with a knife. Li Qijian also felt that it was too risky to stay in Chang'an, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"Don't worry, the same mistake, my father won't make it twice." Li Xuanba smiled and said: "Although the Tang Dynasty has strong forces, it is impossible for them to expand the national border only by conquest, and my father wants to buy people's hearts. The lavish reward shows that he knows very well that he cannot be the enemy of the world. This duke is the Duke of Zhou of the Southern Sui Dynasty. It's his son again, if he dies in Chang'an City, what will the people of the world think? ”

"Emperor Tang won't kill you, but that doesn't mean others won't." Li Jiu pointed to the right color and said: "The news that the son is in Chang'an, he will definitely receive the news." ”

"If that's the case, it wouldn't be better." Li Xuanba replied fearlessly: "Father is in order to take care of the overall situation. will definitely let me leave Chang'an alive, and will even send troops to escort me out of the border of the Tang Dynasty. If someone wants to take my life, it depends on whether my father agrees or not. ”

"What about revenge?" Li Jiuzhi said a little anxiously: "Emperor Tang is really worried about your safety, so he sent a large number of guards to guard outside the mansion, but he did this. It's equivalent to trapping us in the Weiwang Mansion! ”

"Do you think my father-in-law came to Chang'an really to take revenge?" Li Xuanba glanced at Li Jiuzhi, shook his head, and sighed: "Du Ruhui is a person from the Qin Palace, with his ability, not to mention that his father can't find out that he is involved in this matter, even if his father finds out, it is impossible to announce it to the world, and he can't let the people of the world know that the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty wants to kill his own brother!" ”

Li Jiuzhi was a little confused when he heard this, he scratched his head, and wondered: "How does that son plan to kill Du Ruhui?" ”

"I heard that Chang'an City had an extra green building two years ago, named Mochizuki, and the women in the building are all talented, and it is the favorite place for officials of the Tang Dynasty." Li Xuanba said casually: "Du Ruhui's status in the Qin Palace's palace is not low, and his family is extremely wealthy, and only people like him can linger in a place like Wangyue Tower, which is really the envy of my father." ”

"Since Gongzi has already made arrangements, why take the risk of coming to Chang'an?" Li Jiuzhi vaguely understood what Li Xuanba meant, so he was even more puzzled.

Li Xuanba's fingers tapped on his legs, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

In the eyes of others, Chang'an City is like a tiger's den in Longtan, but for Li Xuanba, except for the territory of Southern Sui, Chang'an is safer than anywhere else, and he is not in any danger at all when he comes to Chang'an.

Of course, Li Xuanba did not return to Jiangdu with Zhang Xutuo and others, not because Chang'an City was safe.

"My father came to Chang'an thousands of miles away, in fact, the purpose is very simple, that is, I want to see Du Ruhui die with my own eyes." Li Xuanba said with a smile, with a chill in his laughter: "Also, since they want to kill me, then I don't mind appearing in front of them alive, I like the way they can't get used to me but can't do anything about me." ”

After staying in Chang'an for a few days, Li Xuanba's injuries have almost recovered, thanks to the time when Wan Shi came, he brought a few imperial doctors from the palace by the way

Time passed day by day, the wind and waves in Chang'an City were calm, and just when everyone was about to forget the existence of Li Xuanba, Li Yuan's edict made people remember him: "Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, disobeyed the military order, had bad intentions, and bewitched the soldiers to fight with the Southern Sui, and his crime should be punished." Fortunately, the Duke of Zhou of the Southern Sui Dynasty killed him, and now he has withdrawn his title and is demoted to a commoner. ”

Li Xuanba was very unwilling to see Du Ruhui bow down and be punished with his own eyes, but he also understood that as long as he stayed in Chang'an for a day, Du Ruhui might not dare to show up, so he entered the palace again to meet Li Yuan and ask about the progress of the investigation.

The matter of Guanxian is actually obvious, Li Yuan knows it, after he promised Li Xuanba some conditions, Li Xuanba promised to release the captives of the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides each took a step back, and Li Yuan sent a large army to escort Li Xuanba out of the Tang Dynasty.

After leaving Chang'an City, Li Xuanba glanced back, and his heart was mixed.

From today on, the father-son relationship between him and Li Yuan has been completely severed, and he is not sad, he just feels that in the past few years, it has been like a lifetime. (To be continued.) )
