Late at night ten days later, in front of a lonely grave outside Xia County, a person wearing linen and filial piety cried in this lonely grave:

"Big brother! You have done your best for the people of Xia County, but now you have ended up like this, and besides, the people of Xia County and your old cronies have not come to see you, why should you bother at this time? And, big brother! Do you know? You are really wrong, then Li Yuanji is narrow-minded! And that Li Shimin is really vicious! Only we are the biggest fools! Big brother! You died so unjustly! Big brother! The man wept bitterly and complained. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Suddenly, the man was hit in the back of the head and fainted. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a thatched hut. An old man stood in front of this man, and the man glanced at the old man. Touching the back of his head again:

"Ouch! My head hurts! ”

"Of course, if you take a bite in the back, won't it hurt?" The man suddenly realized that there was someone else in the thatched hut, and immediately looked over there:

"Ahh It's you! "The person who spoke was called Han Wu, and he was the younger brother of Han Si, the messenger of Liu Wuzhou who was killed by Li Shimin.

"Why did you knock me unconscious!?" Han Wu took a bowl of water with an expressionless face and handed it to the man to drink:

"General Chongyue, come! Let's take a sip of water! I've been screaming for so long, I must be thirsty! Drink saliva first! Lu Chongmao also felt a little thirsty, and immediately drank the bowl of water like a cow.

"You haven't answered General Ben's words?"

"General Chongyue, didn't you go to Li Yuanji to move the rescue troops? Why did you come back so gray? As soon as he talked about the rescue of the soldiers, Lu Chongyue's expression immediately dimmed, and his thoughts immediately returned to that night, Li Yuanji's palace was holding a feast, in addition to the old troops that Li Yuanji brought from Guanzhong, there were also the generals of the army who had been left in Mayi by Liu Wuzhou:

"Come on! Ladies and gentlemen, this king is very happy today, on the one hand, we have conquered Ma Yi and eliminated Liu Wuzhou's old enemy, and secondly, this king can have today's merits, all thanks to your assistance, come! This king toasts you. The generals of Yuan Liu Wuzhou, led by Huang Laixing, who were present, immediately raised their glasses and unanimously saluted Li Yuanji:

"His Royal Highness King Qi, I will not give up His Royal Highness King Mengqi, and be able to return to Li Tang, just like a child who left his parents since he was a child, and returned to his parents, Beichen only represents the others, use this cup of thin wine to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, salute His Royal Highness King Qi with a cup, and wish His Royal Highness King Qi a new meritorious service!" Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche also echoed on the side, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xue Li, Su Dingfang and others did not make any moves, while Luo Shixin and Xue Wanjun also humbly catered to the side, showing a foodie nature, eating and drinking vigorously. Li Yuanji watched coldly, slapped his hands, Li Yuanji's cronies and guards carried up a few large boxes, and after opening the boxes, the yellow, orange and orange cuties and those dazzling treasures in them blinded many people's eyes, and Liu Wuzhou's generals led by Huang Laixing directly drooled, Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang didn't say much, Luo Shixin and Xue Wanjun suppressed the emotions in their hearts as much as possible, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xue Li, Su Dingfang and others sat expressionlessly, this skill, Li Yuanji also secretly gave a thumbs up, and in the reaction of everyone, Li Yuanji spoke:

"Generals, that Liu Wuzhou not only went against the sky, but also collected the fat and ointment of the people of Mayi everywhere, after the king broke through Mayi, he suddenly found a treasure trove secretly built by Liu Wuzhou, which contained tens of thousands of taels of gold and more than a dozen boxes of treasures, you are either the brave ministers of my Tang Dynasty, or the wise people who can't bear to rekindle the war in Mayi, this king is very appreciative, today, this king will distribute these treasures to you and your subordinates, for encouragement!" Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche immediately cheered:

"His Royal Highness King Qi Shengming! His Royal Highness the King of Qi is wise! ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi is sympathetic to his subordinates, he is really the Ancient Sage King!" Under the leadership of Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche, Huang Laixing's light box was also a big slap on Li Yuanji, while Fang Xuanling Du Ru looked at Li Yuanji with a slightly different look, and Xue Wanjun also looked at Xue Wanche with a worried face, and his heart was anxious. Suddenly, Li Yuanji's personal soldiers stepped forward to report:

"Report! Repay the king! There was a man named Lu Chongyue at the door who asked to see him! also sent a crown prince's gold medal and asked to see King Qi! Li Yuanji snorted coldly at the gold medal:

"Hmmm! Lu Chongyue! Hum! This mourning star! When this king was happy, he came to ask for a meeting, but it was really disappointing, and he didn't see it! Fang Xuanling immediately persuaded:

"Your Highness! Then Lu Chongyue is not in Xia County, there must be something important to come here in such a hurry, besides, there is also the crown prince's gold medal, please ask the prince to give Lu Chongyue a look! Du Ruhui also said beside him:

"Yes! Rajah! Lu Chongyue came to see him anxiously, there must be something important, ask the prince for mercy! Li Yuanji looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and didn't speak at first, Xue Wanche stepped forward and said:

"Fang joined the army and Du joined the army, I know that you two are the former ministers of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they were sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to assist His Royal Highness King Qi, but, Lord Fang, Lord Du, don't forget that you are only joining the army, not supervising the army, and the management is too lenient!" As soon as Xue Wanche's words came out, Du Ruhui's face changed greatly, Fang Xuanling immediately candled Du Ruhui, shook his head secretly, Xue Wanjun also hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xue Wanche, and apologized to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui:

"Lord Fang, Master Du, Wan Che is still young and ignorant! I beg your pardon! He said to Li Yuanji again:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the younger brother is a little drunk, please let the subordinate take the younger brother down to sober up!" Li Yuanji nodded, and Xue Wanjun immediately forcibly pulled Xue Wanche down. Xue Wanche was reluctantly pulled out of the hall by Xue Wanjun, and when he arrived outside the door, Xue Wanche reluctantly shook off Xue Wanjun's hand:

"Third brother, what are you pulling me out for?"

"Fourth brother, what you said just now has offended the two adults Fang Du. Now that this matter of seizing the heir has begun to repeat itself in Li Tang, do you also want to be in it. ”

"So what! Anyway, I value King Qi now, big brother, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Saying that, Xue Wanquan didn't know how to leave, only Xue Wanjun shook his head. In the hall, Lu Chongyue was brought to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji looked at Lu Chongyue carefully, and saw that Lu Chongyue was covered in dust, wearing a homespun cloth dress full of patches, revealing embarrassment and exhaustion:

"Yo! Isn't this General Lu Chongyue? Ah! Originally, this king remembered that General Lu Chongyue was a graceful and handsome look! How? What's going on? This is what it looks like? Lu Chongyue knelt in front of Li Yuanji:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, that day our two brothers did not know Mount Tai, rebelled against Li Tang, and later by His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty did not give up, Feng Weichen's brother is the King of Wei, Xiazhou Assassin History, our two brothers are really grateful, but a few days ago someone in His Royal Highness the King of Qin spoke slander, and instigated the relationship between our two brothers and General Wei Chi, and now His Royal Highness the King of Qin with General Wei Chi as the vanguard, attacking my Xia County, asking His Royal Highness the King of Qi to make a book for the livelihood of the soldiers of my Xia County, make a book to send to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, mediate the conflict. Save my Xia County soldiers and civilians and my eldest brother from fire and water. Li Yuanji squinted and looked at Lu Chongyue drunkenly:

"General Lu! You have the crown prince's gold medal, this is true, but this father's secret decree, this king did not receive any will from his father, and the prince's brother did not give one or two orders before the king left, so the matter of your surrender to the Tang Dynasty cannot be determined. Lu Chongyue listened to Li Yuanji's words, and was even more excited:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the secret order brother has been sent to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin does not believe it, and only asks His Royal Highness the King of Qi to repair a letter, and first mediate between our Xia County and His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

"What are these words? His Royal Highness King Qin is the second brother of this king, if this king writes a letter to ask the second brother of this king to stop marching into the army, I am afraid that it will not be in line with the courtesy! Lu Chongyue was anxious as if there was a fire burning in his heart:

"His Royal Highness King Qi! Our two brothers really want to submit to Li Tang, and all the original misunderstandings, I only ask His Royal Highness King Qi not to care about the villain, and don't worry too much about our two brothers. ”

"Smack!" Li Yuanji threw the wine glass in his hand directly:

"Bastard! Do you say that this king is a scheming villain? ”

"Xiao Chen doesn't dare!" Lu Chongyue saw that Li Yuanji was angry, and he didn't dare to argue. Du Ruhui couldn't stand it, and stepped forward to persuade him to explain that Li Jiancheng did have some contact with the two brothers, Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, but was pulled by Fang Xuanling and signaled him not to speak.

"Please ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to discuss the small ministers, the eldest brother and the people of Xia County." Li Yuanji was still unmoved, and said quietly:

"Someone! General Lu Chongyue had a tired journey, so he took General Lu Chongyue to settle down and rest, and sent people to closely observe the movements in Xia County! Also, quickly send someone to send a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find out about this matter quickly! Li Yuanji's personal soldiers took the order and left.

"His Royal Highness King Qi! I beg His Royal Highness the King of Qi to send a letter quickly. ”

"That's it! This king has his own measure! You don't need to say more, drag General Lu down for this king. After the banquet, Du Ruhui came to Fang Xuanling:

"Brother Xuanling! Why did you stop me from saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already been in contact with the two brothers, Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue? Fang Xuanling looked outside the house, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he whispered to Du Ruhui:

"Brother Xian, haven't you seen that the King of Qi made it clear that he didn't want to save the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, and His Royal Highness the Prince's attitude towards the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue was also obscure, otherwise, as early as when His Royal Highness the King of Qi sent troops, he would have given instructions to His Royal Highness the King of Qi and me, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything! Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an important moment for the Prince to compete with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has always been a strong backup for His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince has always regarded His Royal Highness the King of Qi as a sign of brotherhood, friend and brother, if there is any disagreement between His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi because of your virtuous brother, I am afraid it is not good! Also, it was because of the rebellion of Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue that day that our Li Tang lost the territory of Hedong, and it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not have any mustard there, and maybe, the king of Qin may not have any secret decree. After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Du Ruhui was like an initiation, and he immediately sobered up.

"Thank you for your advice!" Fang Xuanling nodded:

"But Brother Ru Xian, we still have to report the matter here to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Du Ruhui nodded and said:

"What Brother Fang said is reasonable, we will sign this letter together."
