It's late, the heavy rain is like a waterfall, the official road is muddy, the water is everywhere, the carriage that Kong Xun walked away left a few deep ruts, the forests on the left and right are like silent straw men, but the rain is outrageously loud, as if it can cover all the sounds in the world.

The rain sounded like a drum.

Those who have been washed by the heavy rain have difficulty raising their heads.

Groups of Xuanwu troops emerged from behind the forest next to the official road, and the black oppressed human heads, horse heads, blades and armor suddenly filled every drop of rain with the aura of slaughter and gold.

Su Yuqi held a sword in one hand and a rein in the other, always looking ahead, leading the team straight forward. The mud and dangers on the road, he didn't see clearly, and he didn't understand the consequences of going straight, but he couldn't retreat. The heavy rain knocked the crops in the fields and made them bow their heads, and the strong wind bent the trees in the forest and made them bend down. But he doesn't bend down, he doesn't bow his head.

The umbrella in his heart, the law in his heart, never needs to bend down and bow his head.

Even though the sound of rain drowned out everything, the sound of the bowstring being pulled apart was still clearly heard, as if in the ears.

The horse team of the Xuanwu Army has already stepped on the official road.

Su Yuqi even laughed.

There are thousands of people in the world, not everyone can keep the clouds open and see the sun, in reality, most people can't survive the rain and the sky, they have fallen in the long wind and rain, and there are many more people, in their lives there is actually no rainbow after the rain, most people in this world are subject to people all their lives, and their lives are mediocre and hard, and they have no action.

So there is no reason, he Su Yuqi will definitely be able to go to the end and make contributions with his eyebrows raised.

He is born by destiny and dies by himself, but he can choose how to live and how to die.

Su Yuqi silently said in his heart I don't have to die well, his expression returned to firmness, his eyes were full of determination, and his legs clamped the horse's belly hard.

The rain was like a rain of arrows, and he was like a warrior.

On the other side, Kong Xun was about to say the order, but in the end he had to swallow it back into his stomach, he opened the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the back of the car. Then, he hurriedly got up and got out of the carriage and bowed down beside the official road to greet him.

Li Conghou, the king of Song, led the team to gallop from the rain, and the mud splashed the horses, but they were washed away by the rain, and there was no dust in the cavalry, only mud flying.

Li Conghou's face was cold, he grabbed the reins in front of Kong Xun, and in the face of Kong Xun's salute, he did not dismount with Mingguang armor on his body, only a voice containing anger came, "Kong Jie, you are so bold, even the people of the court dare to intercept?!" ”

There were hundreds of armor soldiers behind him, all of them were cavalry, which was also the reason why he was able to come quickly, and at this time, he quickly dispersed on both sides of the road, and there was even one that joined Su Yuqi and others and joined forces with them.

Kong Xun showed a bitter smile, and said with a look of wrongedness: "His Royal Highness King Song has misunderstood the lower officials, and the lower officials have no intention of intercepting the officials of the Criminal Department, but they just want to take a break from the friendship of the landlord and entertain the monarchs for a while." ”

The horsewhip pointed at the Xuanwu soldiers on the left and right, and Li Conghou shouted: "Bring thousands of armor soldiers to entertain? The way of entertaining envoy Kong is really unique, and I don't know if Your Majesty will believe it after hearing it! ”

Kong Xun said aggrievedly: "The lower officials are loyal to the imperial court, and Your Majesty is naturally able to understand them. Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, because of the vigorous implementation of the new policy, the Xuanwu Army has eliminated thousands of soldiers, and those sergeants who have been eliminated are also fierce warriors on the battlefield in the past, and their bloody courage is violent, and now they want to farm, naturally they can't help but complain, and there are many troubles on weekdays, and in addition to the recent rampant thieves in the realm, the lower officials are also thoughtful, so they brought a soldier with them - what the lower officials did was for the sake of the safety of the officials of the Criminal Department, and asked His Royal Highness to be clear! ”

Li Conghou's face changed slightly, he looked at Kong Xun, who was standing under the umbrella of the old god, and the anger in his heart was even worse, "Kong Jie, don't coax the lonely king as a three-year-old child!" If something happens to the officials of the Criminal Department and the prisoners in your custody, no matter whether you shirk it to the thieves afterwards, or to the sergeants who caused chaos due to the dismissal, and no matter how you deal with these 'thieves' and 'pawns' afterwards, and no matter who in the court protects you and turns your big crime into a small crime, now that the Lone King is here, he will not allow you to do anything wrong! ”

Kong Xun's color changed slightly, and only then did he begin to face up to the "arrogant" young man in front of him, who was no more than a weak crown.

He dared to use the Xuanwu Army to intercept and kill the officials of the Criminal Department today, and afterwards he would indeed say that he was a conspirator with his relatives and friends in the army, and of course he would even pacify these "chaotic pawns." Afterwards, he was protected by those bigwigs in the DPRK and China, although he would not be innocent and would not be degraded, but it was better than completely losing his wealth and even his life.

"Obey the order!" Without waiting for Kong Xun to say anything, Li Conghou suddenly ordered loudly, "Escort the officials of the Criminal Department and the prisoners detained!" ”

A Shi promised, Su Yuqi and others began to move forward again.

Kong Xun's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Li Conghou, "Your Highness really wants to do this?" ”

Li Conghou's eyes lit up.

The rain slid down his neck and into his chest, but it couldn't cool the anger in his heart.

The rain falls on the umbrella, crackling, dripping in strings along the eaves of the umbrella, smashing small puddles around the hole and body.

Li Conghou sneered, "It seems that the Lone King really underestimated you, you dare to say such things in front of the Lone King, who is standing behind you?!" He straightened his back, "But no matter who it is, today I don't want to snatch the officials and prisoners of the Criminal Department from the hands of the Lone King!" He stared at Kong Xun, "If the Xuanwu army really dares to rebel, you might as well try, if you want to fight, the Lone King will accompany you to fight!" ”

Kong Xun's eyes flickered, and his face sank like water, even more gloomy than the dimming heaven and earth.

Su Yuqi had already walked to Li Conghou's side, he stopped behind Li Conghou, and immediately walked with Li Conghou.

"Young and courageous, the third brother is measured, and he is impressed by his brother."

At the time of the stalemate, a person came out of the luxurious carriage again.

Li Congrong.

Li Conghou was stunned, and then stared at Li Congrong, "Sure enough, it's you!" ”

Kong Xun saluted, Li Congrong smiled indifferently, "The third brother is the dragon and phoenix, and in time, it will become the important weapon of the country." ”

Li Conghou snorted coldly, "Second brother, don't say much, I wonder how Kong Xun dares to be so bold, even I dare to stop him, it turns out that there is a second brother to help!" The second brother is really a generation of virtuous kings, protecting corrupt officials and corrupt officials, hindering the implementation of court affairs, and today he is openly in the company of traitors and enemies of the court, what do you want to do?! ”

Li Congrong smiled unabated, "Third brother, you can't just look at the surface of everything, there are many things you don't understand now, don't mix blindly, listen to your brother's words, go back quickly, you don't need to meddle in the affairs here." ”

"Shut up!" Li Conghou was furious, jumped off the horse, tore over the umbrella given to Li Congrong, and yelled at the other party's nose: "I don't need you to teach you a lesson!" Father and eldest brother have ruined all the hard work of you, and their faces have been lost to you, and you still have the face to teach me? Do you know what you're up to?! ”

The rain mixed with saliva sprayed on Li Congrong's face, splashing him all over the face.

Kong Xun's face changed greatly, and he didn't step forward for a while, nor did he step forward.

Li Congrong waved his hand, signaling Kong Xun to step aside, and when he arrived at this step of the field, he could still smile, quite spit on his own posture, looking at the brother in front of him, he said: "Third brother, although your words are piercing and heart-wrenching, I don't blame you for my brother." You are still young and don't know the truth, but you can be considerate of your brother. Go back. ”

Li Congrong's thick hood was about to stab Li Congrong's face, and the rain splashed into Li Congrong's eyes on the hood, making Li Congrong's eyes red. Behind the two, the rain curtain was like a curtain.

"What if I don't go back? What if I have to take them with me? Li Cong asked in thick words.

Li Congrong said: "Then I have to stop you as a brother." ”

Li Conghou stepped back, said hello three times, withdrew a few steps, suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife, drew a line in the mud in front of his feet, and then raised the knife to point at Li Congrong, his eyes were red and said: "Today I am for the court, for my father and eldest brother, and for the law of the Tang Dynasty, I draw a line here to cut off contact with you!" After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said word for word: "I must take them away, if you and your people dare to cross this line, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Li Congrong's face suddenly turned pale, so that his body trembled slightly, he raised his head, and the raindrops fell on his face, and he didn't know how many tears fell.

Just for a moment, he looked at Li Conghou, his eyes were so complicated that he couldn't speak, and said with a bleak smile: "The horizontal knife is ruthless? Good, good. That's a brother...... Try your ruthlessness today. ”

Li Conghou's eyes widened.

Li Congrong looked at Li Conghou, and walked step by step towards the ruthless horizontal knife, pointing directly at the horizontal knife in his chest.

"Your Highness?!" Kong Xun and the others were shocked.

Li Congrong: "Get out!" ”

The people did not dare to speak.

Five steps, three steps, one step.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer to the tip of the horizontal knife, Li Conghou's arm trembled.

Rain falls on the blade. Drops of water flowed into a stream, covering the blade and falling from the blade. The blade is heavy, and the blade is cold.

Only, the tip of the knife is still full of edge.

Li Congrong's footsteps are steady, approaching step by step.

Li Conghou couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes were full of tears, his voice was hoarse, and he shouted: "Second brother, turn back, don't force me!" ”

"Turn back? Do you know what happens when you turn back? Once you're on the road, there's no turning back! Li Congrong roared with red eyes, "Hold your knife tight!" The hands trembled like this, and when he went to the battlefield in the future, he could only die under the enemy's knife, not to mention killing the enemy! ”

Li Conghou burst into tears.

Li Congrong walked firmly.

Finally, the tip of the knife touched the robe.

The body is further forward, and the tip of the knife is in the flesh.

"Your Highness?!"

"Your Highness?!"

Li Congrong didn't look at the wound and knife on his chest, but just looked at Li Conghou with a smile. The look in his eyes was extremely relaxed, like unloading a heavy boulder on his back, and the smile was unashamed.

A red dot appeared on the white robe, and the whiskers spread out in a moment, and from time to time it turned red.

Li Conghou was almost untenable, and could hardly help but abandon his knife and flee.

Li Congrong shook his head at this time, looking at him firmly, and the look in his eyes made Li Conghou extremely surprised, because he actually saw encouragement in that gaze - just like saying, don't retreat!

The two brothers have been drenched beyond recognition by the rain.

The rain has thousands of words, but no one has a word.

There was a neighing of horses, and several horses galloped in.

Unlike the armor soldiers around them, these riders were not armoured. The first person was alone, with long hair dancing wildly, and wearing a green shirt.

The number of riders stopped beside the two brothers who were facing each other, and the person in the lead, seeing the scene in the field, changed his face greatly, and angrily reprimanded: "Are you two crazy?!" Don't put the knife down yet! ”

She rolled over and dismounted, striding through the mud.

Li Conghou took the knife, and the tip of the knife dripped several drops of blood and mixed into the mud. He took off his hood and threw it on the ground, his body like a furnace, and the heat was unstoppable.

Li Congrong covered his chest and smiled helplessly.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

There were two loud crisp sounds, and Li Congrong and Li Conghou were slapped in the face one after another.

"Do you two know what you're doing? Are you going to be angry with your father?! Her face was full of anger, tears mixed with rain.

"Meet Her Highness the Princess!"

All the people on the road bowed down.

The arrival of this person made everyone's hearts breathe a sigh of relief. Fang Cai's scene was too depressing, the killing machine was like substance, falling on everyone's shoulders with the rain, this dim sky almost couldn't help but crack, even just watching the confrontation between Li Congrong and Li Conghou made people's throats dry. And the subsequent development of the confrontation between the two will definitely affect the situation in the field, and in the end, whether it is a multi-party fight or a peaceful end depends on the words and deeds of the two brothers and the horizontal knife.

And the horizontal knife is always ruthless, which makes it really difficult to hold out hope.

"Sister." Li Congrong smiled.

"Sister." Li Conghou's heart was a little weak, and he didn't dare to look at people.

Here came the princess of the Tang Dynasty, she has a beautiful name, Yongning.

Forever peaceful.

The green shirt is a men's clothes, Li Yongning slapped the two younger brothers, checked the wound on Li Congrong's chest again, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that it was just a flesh wound, and then she stretched out her two hands with an angry face, grabbed the ears of a younger brother with one hand, and dragged them away, "Come back with me, don't be embarrassed here!" ”

The two brothers were powerless to resist.

Li Yongning unceremoniously requisitioned Kong Xun's carriage, and took the Song Wang Jiashi, the Criminal Department Jiashi, the Criminal Department officials, the prisoners of the Criminal Department, and the Qingyi of the Military Intelligence Department, all of whom walked in front of the Xuanwu Army and walked away in the rain curtain.

Kong Xun stood on the side of the road and saluted.

After a long while, Kong Zhang said angrily: "This ...... King Zhao is leaving? Just let them go? ”

Kong Xun was weak, and slapped Kong Zhang in annoyance when he heard this, but because his palm was slapped on the pocket, he was shocked and painful, he covered his hands and scolded: "Otherwise, what else?" Are you going to intercept two princes and a princess? Did you intercept it?! He pointed at Xuanwu Jun indiscriminately, "Take them back, it's embarrassing here!" ”

......

In the end, the carriage was given to the injured Ma Yuanzhi and other wounded, which flattered everyone, but Li Yongning said that she was not polite, she even spoke highly of Ma Yuanzhi and said: "The monarch is a national soldier, and he should be treated as a national soldier." This made Ma Yuanzhi moved and excited, and his body, which had been sick and seemed to be unable to hold on, was refreshed.

On the way back to Luoyang, Li Conghou kept giving Li Congrong a cold face. It seems that although the stabbing of Li Congrong made him feel guilty, but in the face of major national affairs, he still did not intend to compromise, and he was already deeply disdainful of Li Congrong's character, and he also planned to implement the previous remarks about the so-called division of land and severing diplomatic relations.

Li Yongning is the same, unlike Li Conghou's cold face, she has been educating Li Congrong along the way. Because of her own immersion in poetry and historical books, Li Yongning's persuasion and education quoted scriptures and classics, and reasoned with reason, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to Zhu Wen and Li Cunqing, were all used by her in educational rhetoric.

However, even if Li Yongning said something dry, Li Congrong didn't react, and made up his mind to use silence as a weapon of resistance, which not only made Li Yongning angry, but also made Su Yuqi, Zhang Congzhi and all the armorers who had heard and witnessed it very angry.

There is no more disturbance on the road, after all, the driving of two princes and a princess is not easy to stop. And Su Yuqi's arrangement for the custody of the Taiyuan prisoners is even more meticulous, except for the fixed armor, others have no way to get close to them within ten steps.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang, Meng Songbai led hundreds of soldiers to greet him, ensuring to the greatest extent that there would be no accidents in the chaotic place where there were many people in Luoyang City.

Li Yongning had already made Li Congrong so angry that he was uncomfortable, and after entering the city, she didn't let Li Congrong go home, but still dragged the other party into the palace, brought him to Li Siyuan, and asked Li Siyuan to teach him a lesson.

I have to say that this move is really reckless to the extreme.

But caring is chaotic, there is something at home, and it is always impossible to make a decision by the parents.

Li Siyuan saw Li Yongning's posture, and after listening to the other party's accusation, he couldn't see any depth on his face.

Then, as Li Yongning expected, Li Siyuan taught Li Congrong a hard lesson - mainly to teach the other party to collude with Kong Xun, and then let Li Yongning, who had been slightly calmed down, go back first and leave Li Congrong for a while.

Not many people know about this kind of family matter, but the rumor still reached the ears of those who care, so they learned that Li Siyuan finally fined Li Congrong a lot of money and asked him to think about it behind closed doors for a month.

This punishment is both heavy and light, depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

In any case, the relevant criminals of Sun Fang's case arrived in Luoyang without danger, so the "Officials Rectification Office" headed by Li Congjing, Li Qi, and Ren Yuan conducted an in-depth excavation and interrogation of the case. Soon after, many officials were arraigned, and many of them were imprisoned. For a while, for some people, Luoyang can be described as a rumor.

At the same time, more officials came in and out of Zhao's mansion.

A few days later, Li Siyuan passed the edict and let Kong Xun enter Beijing.
