In the study, Guo Xiang was very hesitant in her heart, she was not stupid, how could she not hear the meaning of the prince's words. The prince has already discovered her identity, and the reason why he said this is to give himself a chance and give himself a choice.

Or, follow Wang Po all the way to the black.

Or, follow the prince and follow the path of righteousness.

For Guo Xiang, these two roads are a world of difference. One path can lead her to destruction, and one path can lead her to new life.

However, Guo Xiang just didn't know how to choose.

As far as her eyes could see, it was the edict written by Li Hong to send to various prefectures and counties, which was about the specific route and deployment of this return to Luoyang. As long as he gives this content to Wang Po, his brother's life can be worry-free in a short time.

But is this a long-term solution?

In the study, the candlelight flickered, silent and calm.

Guo Xiang pondered for a moment, and finally walked out of the choice.

In a courtyard outside the study, Li Hong was sitting in the pavilion admiring the moon. Chen Gong stood in his identity.

"Your Highness, do you really want to show her this edict?" Chen Gong asked puzzledly, "If she gives the edict to the enemy, and tells the enemy that you already suspect her, and the enemy doesn't believe what is written in this edict, won't our plan be in vain?" ”。

"Only the false and the real, the true and the false, can the enemy not figure out our clue and let them be fooled. When I knew that our enemy was Liu Ju, I realized that ordinary stratagems were useless to him, Liu Juzhi's talent was the best in the Tang Dynasty, we couldn't look at him from the eyes of ordinary people, and if we wanted him to enter the game, we had to take this risk. Li Hong said with emotion.

It is said that between Empress Wu and Liu Ju to choose one to become his enemy, he would rather choose Empress Wu.

First of all, he is familiar with Empress Wu's routine of usurping the Tang Dynasty, knows Empress Wu's methods, understands Empress Wu's character, and he knows how to prescribe the right medicine. Secondly, the Empress Wu is in the Ming Division, and he can have a duel with the Empress Wu's real sword and gun.

Liu Ju is different.

Li Hong did not understand Liu Ju, and he did not know his methods and plans. Moreover, more importantly, Li Hong didn't know where Liu Ju was, because Liu Ju was in the dark. Liu Ju can plot against him at any time, just like Lu Dongzan's attack on Hezhou City this time, but if Li Hong wants to deal with Liu Ju, he has to spend time finding out.

Compared with the battle of open knives and guns, stabbing a knife in the back secretly can really kill people.

There are many great heroes in history who did not die on the battlefield, but died in the plot of the villain. This is an indisputable fact, and Li Hong does not dare to be careless.

"Shouldn't we change our plans?" Chen Gong suggested.

Li Hong shook his head and said, "It's the same, it's good like this." ”

Chen Gong was puzzled.

Li Hong continued, "All conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in the face of great strength. The reason why Gu was so deliberate this time was to lure out Liu Ju's traitors and wipe them out. If it was really just to escort Lu Dongzan and transfer 10,000 elite horsemen to accompany him, how much ability could Liu Ju have to dare to rescue Lu Dongzan under the iron hooves of the 10,000 army? ”

"It's too ugly to want to annihilate Liu Ju and his group, especially after we cleaned up the Great Ci'en Temple, they will be more careful, and this time using Lu Dongzan as bait is an excellent opportunity, if you miss it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have it again in the future." Li Hong said with emotion.

Since Liu Ju has bet on Lu Dongzan, with Lu Dongzan's identity, he has made a big bet. In this case, if Lu Dongzan died, his loss would be incalculable. Therefore, Li Hong felt that in order to save Lu Dongzan, Liu Ju would definitely do whatever it took this time. As long as Liu Ju dares to do this, it will be his chance to eliminate Liu Ju's traitors.

"Chen Gong, you go down, pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and when the Northeast Army arrives in Hezhou City, we will set off for Luoyang." Li Hong said.

"No!" Chen Gong took the order and strode out of the small courtyard.

Li Hong sat alone in the small courtyard, his thoughts had drifted to Chang'an City, to the green onion noodle restaurant.

From the fact that he went out of the city to see him off, it can be seen that Zhou Juan actually knew his identity all the time and knew that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't tell Zhou Juan, Zhou Juan did not expose it, but chose to accept his concealment and continue to get along with him, it is enough to see that what Zhou Juan values is actually his person, not everything outside him.

If this is placed in the world before Li Hong crosses, it is estimated that it will be wonderful.

Li Hong traveled through the previous world, materialism was rampant, women looking for men for money, so they did not hesitate to marry a man in their seventies and eighties, with a beautiful name and true love. Some women are with men for money, even if they are juniors, they are willing.

For Li Hong, who was born in the Tang Dynasty, he felt that he was worth it when he met a girl like Zhou Juan in this life.

Of course, there is also Zhao Hongskirt, he is not stupid and not stupid, how can he not know Zhao Hongskirt's feelings for him?

However, before determining Zhao Hongskirt's true identity, he was not ready to do anything to this pure and kind girl. Because once she does something, the Empress Wu will coerce Zhao Hongskirt to do things for her. When the time comes, Zhao Hong's skirt will only be more painful between the two.

As for Princess Gesang...

Li Hong knew that there was no love between them at all, there was only a transaction, a transaction of rights and interests.

Now that he is going to attack Tubo, Princess Gesang is not even qualified to trade, it is estimated that her status in the East Palace will plummet in the future, right?

However, no matter whether he destroyed Tubo or killed Mangsong Mangzan, Li Hong would not let Princess Gesang leave the East Palace again, because he would not let them go because of the women he had touched. In his previous life, he was almost cuckolded by Yang Sijian's daughter Yang Sisi, and in this life, he said that this kind of thing could not happen again.

Otherwise, he would step on Helan Minzhi so desperately?

Li Hong stayed in the small courtyard for half an hour, and Chen Gong strode in and whispered to him, "Your Highness, Guo Xiang is out of the study. ”

"Did you send someone to follow her?" Li Hong asked.

"Someone has been sent to follow." Chen Gong said.

"Let you send someone to send a letter to Wei Chi Xunyan, how is the matter of Zhou Xing coming to Hezhou City?" Li Hong asked. Since it was determined that there was a deal between Lu Dongzan and Liu Ju, and that there was some kind of agreement, Li Hong wanted to get something from Lu Dongzan. But Lu Dong praised his mouth, but he was not sure that Li Hong had no choice, so he could only let Zhou Xing ask him.

"If there is no delay on the road, Zhou Xing will be able to arrive tomorrow." Chen Gong said.

"Alright, you go down!" Li Hong said.

Chen Gong received the order and left.
