Chapter 20 Caught in the Hands of You

The news that Wei Chi congratulated Li Kuan made Li Kuan feel uneasy in his heart, it seemed that this qiē was inextricably linked with that person, and behind this qiē, the person who had always had a confusing relationship with him was fueling the trouble, otherwise this time the plan would not be like this, but now it is too late, and he can only face this bad result. It's just that Li Kuan has made a heavy note in his heart, who can say what will happen in the future? When the thorns pass, no one knows what awaits us.

But now Li Kuan has become a fish on the knife, even if he has great merits, this time he touched the sensitive nerves in Li Er's heart, and the possibility of turning over is very small. Li Kuan also knew this, but he believed that he would be able to survive this turmoil without breaking his bones, even if he needed to lie dormant for a while, and it would not be difficult to even leave here and start all over again. It's just that he was unwilling to leave like this, so he chose to tie his hands, just to wait for an opportunity to pay the price for the black hand behind the scenes.

The sky was already completely dark, only the faint stars in the sky, it was a moonless night, Li Kuan was taken into Chang'an City by Yu Chigong. On this day, there was not the slightest night breeze, and Su Hu meant that His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had been talked about by countless Tang people and officials, seemed to have really sunk, and there was no moment when the spring breeze blew and reborn. On this night, I don't know how many people secretly sighed in their hearts, and how many people secretly toasted to celebrate this night.

Li Kuan was captured, and those wolf warriors who fought for him also chose to put down their weapons at this time, with a trace of grief and unwillingness on their faces, no matter who encountered such a thing, it would be like this. I fought with my life and death on the line between life and death, but the trend of returning was such an ending. Who can stand it? What is their identity now? In the past, they were the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but now they have become traitors. became the sinner of the entire Tang Dynasty. Even before they came to Chang'an City, they didn't receive the slightest rumor, and they were welcomed by hundreds of people along the way, but they overturned all the previous ones in an instant.

They couldn't believe the facts presented in front of them now, as if the previous qiē was their fantasy, a big dream in the spring and autumn. But the clothes on their bodies, which still smelled of the river breeze on the side of the Huai River, told them that this qiē was true, and heaven and hell were all in an instant. In this era of the world, every qiē is so ridiculous, and every qiē is in the thoughts of others, and the fate of these people is decided like this? Everyone was vetoed by a fluttering word. All the credit, all the sacrifices disappeared between these words, they had tears in their hearts, but they couldn't flow out, they had hatred in their hearts, but they could only swallow their own tears in their hearts. Who is to blame for this qiē? Who would have thought that would be the case? Who would have thought that a sentence at the beginning, under that coincidental situation, would become the root of today's qiē.

Not wanting to remember, they threw down their weapons. Not wanting to face it again, they hide their faces behind their hands. Maybe there are still the injuries they suffered for the flood of Datang this time, and those injuries have not healed yet, but so what? In this era, there is nothing great about the imperial power.

Li Kuan was behind Wei Chigong. Riding on the back of a cloud-chasing horse, along the way, I saw countless wolf warriors standing under the horse. They all looked at him with longing eyes, a determination with a glimmer of hope. But the eyes that gradually went out pierced his heart with a burst of pain. He felt his heart bleed, and it became a lot of holes with the extinguished gaze. He never thought that he would be distressed and sad for a group of men, he had never tried, and at this moment of letting go, a thousand words would be choked in the depths of his throat, but he couldn't say it. This feeling was even stronger than when he let go of Li Lizhen's hand on the main hall. Maybe these people, these soldiers are just a force that can be gathered easily in the eyes of the magnates of the Tang Dynasty, but in Li Kuan's heart, they are his brothers.

Unconsciously, he and these people have formed a deep relationship, whether it is in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, or in the ice and snow of Tuyuhun riding horses together, whether it is the sweat sprinkled together on the training ground of the Eastern Suburbs Horse Farm, or in the waves of the Huai River, they lean their backs tightly on the shoulders of the brothers behind them. This qiē is the soil of friendship between men, and in this bit by bit, something called righteousness has taken root in each other's hearts. This is also why these soldiers showed their blades the moment Li Kuan decided to resist, and why Li Kuan chose to let go of the last chance to escape after thinking of these people, this qiē is tied to each other, this is not the basis of parting, this is the most desired pride in the hearts of men to entrust life and death to their brothers.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" A soldier riding a wolf warrior choked up, he looked at Li Kuan on a war horse, although his body was already so straight, still like a straight steel spear in the wind, but it was so sluggish.

At the gate of the city, the dim lantern sprinkled the dim light, illuminating a hazy shadow, under the light of this dusk, Li Kuan's shadow was stretched out, and the deep city gate hole was like a big mouth devouring a qiē at this moment, Li Kuan was being swallowed by him, and there was no time to come out.

Lizheng Palace, at this time the lights are bright, most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are here, on this day, Li Er summoned all the important ministers of the court here, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Xiao Yu stood at the forefront of Wenchen, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan, Qu Tutong, Chai Shao stood at the top of the generals, and even in front of these people, there were these people standing there, that was Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and a woman.

There is only one woman who can stand on top of this court, that is Chai Shao's wife, the princess of Pingyang in the dynasty, and the leader of the women's army - Li Xiuning. This female general who did not let the women of the dynasty have eyebrows, at this time she was dressed in a military uniform, holding a long whip in her hand, the whip was slightly wrapped around her waist, wearing a fiery red short shirt, covered with leather armor, and a green silk was bound by a helmet at this time, at this time, her pretty face was frosty, and a pair of autumn-like eyes were also condensed into the cold winter ice at this moment, she stood like this, and all the people around her did not feel far away from her, even Li Chengqian, the prince of the dynasty, was like this, he was afraid of this aunt since he was a child, This is the same for all of Li Er's children. But the only female general of the dynasty was the second son of Li Er, the child of her best friend, Li Kuan, the king of Chu.

This time, although Li Er did a very good job of secrecy, and even many ministers of the DPRK and China didn't know what was going on, but they were summoned to the Lizheng Hall in a daze, but Li Xiuning got the news, and then broke in from the Suzaku Gate alone, waving a long whip all the way, I don't know how many people were drawn, how many flowers and trees were destroyed, and all the way into the highest power center of the Tang Dynasty. She wants to be the master of her hard-working nephew in front of Man Zhao Wenwu. The way this royal family looks now breaks her heart.

At the beginning, the eldest brother and the second brother did not deal with each other, the third brother helped the eldest brother, and the two brothers drank the second brother together, which made her a sister who was already in a dilemma, although in the end she stood on her second brother's side, but in that time in the smell of blood that permeated the Xuanwu Gate, why didn't Li Xiuning bury her tears there? There are no relatives in the heavenly family, for the supreme power, flesh and blood affection is really unreliable, father and son, brothers, uncles and nephews, this qiē will be crushed by that throne and that authority. But this qiē is not what she wants, when she started the army, it was just to get together with her family, when she went to the battlefield, in order to share the worries of her father and brother, when she ran thousands of miles, just for the second brother's warm hands to be able to brush her face again.

Standing in the main hall, Li Xiuning's heart was dripping with blood, looking at the second brother sitting on the high throne, at this moment she felt that this person was so strange, the second brother who took her to the mountain outside Daxing City to plant wild flowers and put them on her head can no longer come back, maybe he will be a good emperor, praised through the ages, but at this moment he can no longer be a good father, a good brother, a good son. After he had set up the ambition that I could take his place, the brother who had been longing for his sister gradually died.

"General Wei Chi has arrived! Li Kuan, the king of Chu, arrived! The sharp but brilliant voice of the little yellow door came from this night.

"Let them in!" Li Eryi waved his hand, he didn't dare to look at the people standing at the foot of the steps, those ministers were fearless, but the girl who didn't like red clothes and loved arms really gave him a headache, how could he not know that this qiē was actually just a big or small farce, but for the sake of this empire, for the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't have the slightest selfishness, or he made such a decision after repeated trade-offs, during which there were countless things, a secret transaction and compromise, The exchange of interests and gains and losses. These are the things he doesn't want to let this simple sister touch, because once this quagmire is touched, he can't get out, so let this qiē be carried down by him, who is an older brother, this is the only thing he can do for her now, maybe he will never be able to insert the wild flowers in the mountains into her hair, but he has never forgotten to shelter her from the wind and rain.
