On the fifth day of September in the thirteenth year of Tianbao Tianbao, Xingzhou City, Julu County.

On the second day after Li Longji received the news that 100,000 Youzhou troops had entered the east of the Kou River, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, took thirty cavalry of Jianning Iron Guard and rushed south to the front line of the battlefield in Julu County.

Even though the situation in Hedong was already as urgent as a spark, and the defenses of Gyeonggi Province and Chang'an City were extremely empty, thinking that Li Qi was about to arrive, Li Longji still decided to take care of Li Qi's matter first, and then return to Chang'an immediately.

Li Longji thought in his heart that he had already sent an urgent order to Taiyuan for 800 miles, asking Du Qianyun to hold Taiyuan and try to hold the rebels in Youzhou for a few days in Taiyuan; He also ordered the Chang'an forbidden army, the Gyeonggi Provincial garrison to strengthen the defense, rectify the armament, and the Shuofang Army, the Hexi Army, and the Longyou Army quickly returned to the Beijing Division.

With such an arrangement, I think it should be able to ensure that Chang'an is foolproof, right?

In the heart of the Tang Emperor, he still regarded Li Qi's threat as heavier than the Youzhou rebels, after all, judging from the current war situation, this An Lushan rebellion would never succeed, that is, it would not threaten his throne.

As for the fact that he has ignored the government for more than ten years, and has been too fond of An Lushan, so that there is such a big rebellion, the entire Hebei Province has been beaten to pieces, and now Hedong Province is also full of war, and it is impossible to say that the war will be fought to Gyeonggi Province and Chang'an City.

The face of the saint who has made the first contribution throughout the ages; This incomparably prosperous, rich, and powerful prosperous scene has also come to naught, and the history books will be full of history in the future, and I don't know how to evaluate myself?

Li Longji couldn't take care of these thoughts at this time, he had to keep the throne first, and then he would have to keep the throne first, and if he kept the throne, he still had 60 years to live, and he would work hard again. It is not known how this stain will be slowly erased.

But if he is seized by Li Qi, his reputation in the history of Qing will not be much better, and the important thing is that I value this throne the most. This supreme position of power, the whole world, is determined by my words, and the pleasure of employing people is completely according to my own will, and this taste of controlling the world, controlling everything, and enjoying all the highest rights, once tasted, I am reluctant to let go.

Therefore, the big threat of Li Qi must be eliminated. If he is willing to obediently comply, I don't want to do too much, after all, Li Qi also has a great contribution to the court, after all, his master also has a great favor to me, after all, Li Qi now has an extremely high reputation in Gyeonggi Province, especially Dugi Province, killing him, there will inevitably be chaos. Just let him be under my nose like the crown prince. Trap it.

However, although he has a lot of jealousy about Li Qi, in fact, deep down, Li Longji is still full of confidence in how to handle Li Qi, after all, this grandson watched him grow up under his nose, pure and filial. Affectionate and righteous, simple-minded and strong-minded, it is for this reason that among so many grandchildren, I like him the most. Before Xiao Qu's illness came to the future, most of the other grandsons were confined to the Hundred Sun Courtyard, but they only let him follow me and hold positions in the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

Li Longji believed that at this time, Li Qi would definitely be captured, willing to hand over all the rights of Tiance Mansion and Sihai Trading Company, and return to Chang'an with him, and the fact was indeed as he thought, after an edict, he only took thirty personal guards, and crossed the blockade of the Youzhou army non-stop, and came to meet the driver.

Oh, thirty guards......

When Li Longji was a little anxious and a little proudly waiting, Li Qi and his entourage of more than 60 people arrived outside the city of Xingzhou, where Li Longji was located, and there were still three miles away from the city gate, and Li Qi was stopped by the Longwu Forbidden Army.

The three hundred Longwu forbidden army had been waiting here for a long time, and an officer and a eunuch slowly moved forward, and that officer was Li Yide, the general of Longwuwei, and Li Longji was still one of the bodyguards of the king of Linzi; That eunuch is the inner worship of Sun Liu, and he is also Xiao Quai's eldest brother Sun.

Brother Sun Liusun bowed down and saluted Li Qi, his face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were a little evasive when he looked at Li Qi: "King Jianning, Your Majesty has an order, only let you go alone to see the driver, now come with us." ”

At this time, Li Qi and the thirty cavalry Jianning Tiewei behind him, and the thirty-two cavalry Feilong Forbidden Army were all covered in blood and exhausted, as soon as they heard that the emperor had arranged it like this, the thirty cavalry Jianning Tie behind him hummed and shouted in a low voice, looking at each other, saying everything.

However, Li Qi took the lead in turning over and dismounting calmly, patted the shoulder of one of the Jianning Tiewei, who was about the same size as him, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Li Yide looked at Li Qi and more than 60 people behind him, covered in blood, with wind and frost on his face, and more than 100 war horses were wet with sweat, how could he not see that they were all on the road day and night, and fought with Youzhou rangers many times on the road, thinking of Li Qi fighting so hard for the country, and thinking of Li Qi's fate after that, he also sighed imperceptibly, and said: "King Jianning, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, so let's go with me to see the driver." ”

Li Qi then remounted his horse, and with more than 100 Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and five eunuchs rushing to the city gate, his subordinates, 30 Jianning Iron Guards, were taken to the military camp of the Longwu Forbidden Army.

Halfway through, Sun Liu saw that he was covered in blood, and said, "King Jianning, why don't you go wash up and change your clothes first?" ”

"No need, hasn't Your Majesty been waiting for a long time?" Li Qi said lightly, and Sun Liu, who was riding on the horse, suddenly lost his mind in a trance.

I don't know why I feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong, so when Sun Liuwei frowned and thought about this question, the Xingzhou Mansion arrived.

Li Qi was stopped again, and then under the supervision of five eunuchs including Li Yide and Sun Liu, and ten guards at the gate of the palace, he unarmed his weapons and conducted a very detailed body search, and then followed Li Yide and Sun Liu into the palace and met the Tang Emperor Li Longji.

Before Li Qi's future, Li Longji was a little anxious and a little proud, anxious because of the situation in Chang'an, proud because he had eaten the character of this grandson, and easily solved this big threat, and he couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

But now seeing Li Qi's whole body covered in blood, with a tired look on his face, even Li Longji, who knows that the Heavenly Family has no family affection, suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart at this moment.

Thinking about it carefully, my beloved grandson actually didn't do anything wrong. It's just that he is too good, too worried about the country and the people, too prestigious, too many resources and powers, and at the same time too eager to do things, so that I, the emperor, have to be very jealous......

That's fine. After taking over his military power and imprisoning him for a few years, after I have completely digested the power of Tiance Mansion, it is not that I can't let him out again, but this line has to be tightened at any time......

Li Longji even began to think, isn't Li Qi the personal disciple of Xiao Quai, an immortal disciple, if he can live past my lifespan, after the death of the immortal, he will let Li Qi succeed to the throne.

"The king of Jianning, Li Qi, greets His Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! The young man, who had just turned nineteen, hurriedly came to Li Longji, bowed and saluted, saying long live, with a very respectful attitude.

Li Longji, who was on the throne, looked at his grandson with satisfaction, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes: "King Jianning, hurry up." ”

"I don't know that Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon your ministers over. So what's going on? Li Qi raised his head and glanced around very casually.

This mansion is spacious and solemn. Li Longji sat in the main hall, behind him was Gao Lishi, and on both sides of the hall stood several ministers and generals who followed Li Longji.

There are Yang Guozhong, Chen Xuanli, Yulin General Han Xiumin, and Jin Wuwei General Changsun Quanxu. Bai Xin, the envoy of the Zuo Feilong Army, and the three martial arts people with a restrained and long atmosphere, are probably the masters of the Tang Sect invited by Yang Guozhong.

Li Longji suddenly felt that something was wrong, first of all, this Li Qi was too calm and indifferent, and he was not in a hurry at all. This is not like Li Qi's temperament;

Moreover, when he looked at the Li Qi in front of him, he always felt that his figure and temperament were more like another person, but he couldn't remember who he looked like for a while;

Also, the first sentence is a salute, naturally he calls himself a minister, and he calls himself Your Majesty, and the second sentence is normal speech, public first and then private, shouldn't he call himself the emperor's grandfather?

In short, it was a very strange and awkward feeling, Li Longji frowned imperceptibly, and then showed a loving smile: "You're covered in blood, but you met the cavalry of Youzhou on the way here?" ”

"Along the way, I encountered seven sentry cavalry, two military camps, and three cavalry detachments of hundreds of people, and the ministers all broke through them, and they were killed all the way."

Li Longji nodded: "Qilin'er, I urgently summoned you to come, just because I know that you are too brave and good at fighting, and you like to charge ahead, and the emperor is afraid that you will be damaged, so the emperor wants you to stay by Grandpa's side and go back to Chang'an with me." ”

This is said vaguely, but Li Qi is a smart person, so he can naturally understand it, and he doesn't need me to say it too clearly.

However, the next moment, Li Qi's reaction was beyond Li Longji's expectations, he looked straight at himself, with contempt and ridicule in his eyes, and then said mercilessly: "Your Majesty, the ministers will charge into battle and quell the rebellion, there will definitely be no danger."

Today's crisis, the community is declining, the people are miserable, the army of 100,000 thieves has broken through the east of the river, and within ten days, the soldiers can reach Chang'an, and the minister asks His Majesty to appoint the minister as the marshal of the conquest, the envoy of Fanyang and Pinglu Jiedu, and the envoy of Hebei Province; Appointed Li Guangbi as the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and Nan Jiyun as the deputy envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and quickly put down this rebellion! ”

Li Longji couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe his ears, his grandson dared to look at himself with such eyes! How dare you brazenly claim power for yourself!

Marshal of the expedition, Fan Yang, Pinglu Jiedu envoy; Although Li Guangbi, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, was born in the Shuofang army of Longyou Hexi, if he obtained the position of Hedong Jiedu because of him, and was also a subordinate of Wang Zhonghei, he would definitely look forward to him, and Nan Jiyun, the deputy envoy of Hedong, is also the general of Tiance Mansion, and Hedong Town is almost your Li Qi's.

In this way, you Li Qi is also the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, plus the more than 200,000 troops of the Tiance Mansion, plus the huge financial resources of the Four Seas Trading Company, plus the East China Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet is actually controlled by the Tiance Mansion!

What do you want to do, this is simply Sima Zhao's heart is revealed!

At this time, Li Longji's previous unbearability was like a drop of dew under the scorching sun, which disappeared in an instant, and he was even a little angry: "Presumptuous!" King Jianning, you dare to speak to me like this! You're getting worse and worse at the rules, so ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qi in front of him disappeared in front of him in an instant, and then appeared beside him in an instant. Including Li Longji, in the entire mansion, there were more than 20 people, and no one saw how he moved, as if teleporting, and he was within two feet of Li Longji. That powerful and incomparable sense of coercion made Li Longji feel an incomparable fear for the first time.

At this moment, Sun Liu, the eunuch who was enshrined in the interior, seemed to be blessed to the heart, and suddenly reacted: "You are the king of Lanling!?" ”

"Please issue an edict to appoint King Jianning as the marshal of the expedition, and the envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu!" Jianning Wang Li Qi casually took out a wet handkerchief from his arms and wiped it on his face. The muscles on his face shook a few times, and his face changed in an instant, and at the same time, his voice also changed.

Of course he is not Li Qi, he is Xiao Quai!

Suddenly, the originally restrained eyes of the three Tang Sect masters instantly shone brightly, one of them raised his arm slightly, and at the same time, the other two quickly bullied over.

"Look for death!"

While speaking, Xiao Quzhi had already poured qi and blood into his eyes in an instant. At the same time, he aroused the arrogance and bloody battle intent of the ninth layer, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the wet handkerchief blocked more than a dozen steel needles flying towards him, and at the same time, his left hand took out his palm and slapped it lightly.

The two Tang Sect masters who had deceived themselves couldn't hear a trace of palm wind, and the speed of this palm didn't seem to be fast, and the two hesitated for a moment. Then one slapped out with both palms, and the other reached out to grasp. Grabbed Xiao Quai's shoulder.

The next moment, the Tang Sect master who was in the opposite hand with Xiao Quai's illness had already flown out, and the blood spit out of his mouth was sprinkled in mid-air along his retreating figure, like a sprayer, and the entire mansion was full of blood.

The Tang Sect master who caught Xiao Quai's illness screamed loudly, and his hands were already blurred with flesh and blood. Then Xiao Qu moved forward, and the man's body flew out like a defeated leather.

Li Longji opened his mouth, his heart jumped to the fastest in an instant, his temples burst out one by one, and in a trance, he saw Li Qi, who was three or four feet away from him, disappear instantly. Then he instantly appeared within two feet of himself and became Xiao Quai.

Then two bodies rushed over, and they were instantly knocked away, and then Xiao Quai's body disappeared in front of his eyes, and then appeared within two feet of him in the blink of an eye.

When he looked at it again, another Tang Sect master was already bleeding from the corners of his lips at this time, and he began to fall to the ground, and he looked at Xiao Quai, who was in front of his right side, and looked at him with a smile and a smile.

Wasn't he already killed by Zhang Xiancheng in Nanzhao? And he dared to kill in front of me! What else is he going to do now, what the hell is going on!

Within two feet, Xiao Quzhi and Li Longji looked at each other coldly, Li Longji felt that his heart was about to jump out, a kind of creepy fear made the pores of his whole body tighten and numb, and his whole body was cold.

On the other side, Bai Xin, who was the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, was the first to react, and shouted in surprise, with mixed emotions: "King Lanling?!" ”

After him, more people reacted, and all of them began to shout loudly, but no one dared to move casually.

"Lanling King ......"

"Your Majesty......"

"King Lanling, how dare you ......?"

"Bold ......"

"Auxiliary...... Minister...... You...... You ......" Li Longji swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, his expression was in a trance, his thoughts were confused, and it was more of a fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, subconsciously, he was afraid that Xiao Qu would kill the king and kill him.

Xiao Qubing quietly watched this person in the early days of the succession to the throne to put things in order, and worked hard to push the Tang Dynasty to the peak of prosperity; After that, he didn't think about the government, drunk and dreamed of death, and was extremely deaf, bringing the Tang Dynasty Emperor a dark abyss to the Tang Dynasty.

Two or three seconds later, Xiao Qu sighed imperceptibly, took a long look at the end, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these three Tang Sect disciples used secret weapons in front of Your Majesty, and tried to attack Your Majesty, but they have now been killed on the spot by the ministers.

The matter is urgent, and the minister didn't have time to ask His Majesty for instructions, which disturbed His Majesty, and asked His Majesty for forgiveness! ”

Li Longji was slightly stunned, a heart that was beating faster and faster, and almost exploding, finally slowly began to slow down, looking at this attitude, he didn't dare to kill the king.

"I forgive you for your innocence." Li Longji forced himself to ask, "Auxiliary minister, are you ...... How could it be you, you're not ......"

"It was the minister's master, Taijizi, who saved the minister." Xiao Quzhi slowly straightened up, and said respectfully and seriously: "It turns out that before the minister went down the mountain, the minister's master exhausted his life's mana and sealed part of the minister's essence and blood vitality on a piece of Xuanyu, if the minister dies, this piece of Xuanyu can save the minister's life after nine days." ”

Xiao Quzhi opened his eyes and said nonsense, Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and naturally he didn't believe it in his heart, but he was not a person without a city government, so he would naturally not expose it at this time, and then he squeezed out a smile and said, "That's the case, that's really good!" ”

Li Longji's city is deep, but Yang Guozhong is a frivolous person, coupled with Xiao Quzhi's preconceived impression of being respectful to him, at this time, he is not afraid of Xiao Quai's illness at all.

He screamed loudly: "Xiao Quai, you fart!" ”

Xiao Quzhi turned sideways slightly, turned his head, and glanced at Yang Guozhong.

This glance almost made Yang Guozhong jump violently, because the contempt and disgust in his eyes was obvious to the extreme.

He was called a big brother by him before, and then he was a Yang Xiang, and he kept sending things to himself and giving benefits, but in his mind, from beginning to end, he was nothing!

Or it's not nothing, but from beginning to end, he looks at himself like a clown, looking at garbage!

Yang Guozhong was not born in a wealthy family, he is actually the illegitimate son of Wu Zetian's pet Zhang Yizhi, his identity is extremely disgraceful, and he has lived a depressed life since he was a child.

And Yang Guozhong is also a person who does not learn and has no skills, except for being handsome (his father is a male pet, his genes are good), and he is a little smart, he has been in the casino for a long time since he was a teenager, and he is looked down upon, and he is used to being cold-eyed and despised, ridiculed and ridiculed.

Yang Guozhong felt that Xiao Quzhi's look at himself just now contained all the coldness and contempt, and all the disdain when he was young.

It turns out that he, from beginning to end, sees himself like this!

It turned out that Xiao Qu was sick, and from beginning to end, he was extremely disgusted and disgusted with himself; It turned out that the reason why he called himself big brother was that he kept giving gifts and benefits, just to take advantage of himself.

Now that An Lushan has fallen, then he doesn't have to hide it anymore!

Yang Guozhong suddenly couldn't help but want to explode and curse loudly, but he didn't dare at this time, he was also afraid, because just now, he still felt that when Xiao was sick and saw himself, he was looking at a dead man.

Yang Guozhong suddenly reacted now, what kind of person Xiao Quzhi is, how terrible he is, and he has always had a feeling of pride in the past two years, the world-famous Tang God of War, what about the Tang God of Wealth, it is not that he is respectful in front of himself, and he is not careful to please himself......

It's ridiculous to think about it now!

Yang Guozhong didn't dare to say anything more, and on the other side, although Li Longji's heart was not beating so fast, he was still under the huge pressure of Xiao Qu's disease, Li Longji still paid some attention to Xiao Qu's illness in the past two years, it is said that last year, he went to Shaolin alone and won three hundred-year-old monks...... This is the first master in the world!

Xiao Quzhi turned his head again, looked at Li Longji within two feet, and said gently and respectfully: "Please issue an edict to your Majesty to appoint Li Qi, the king of Jianning, as the marshal of the expedition, the envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu, and the envoy of Hebei Province; Li Guangbi was appointed as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, and Nan Jiyun was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Hedong Festival! ”

After a moment of silence, Li Longji swallowed another mouthful of saliva and laughed suddenly: "I'm all right!" There are auxiliary ministers here, quelling the rebellion of Youzhou against Hu, I don't have to worry about it! ”

He decided to come down, now that he is in his control, it is better not to conflict with this bold man for the time being, and everything will be said after I return to Chang'an and be completely safe......

This Tang thief, as well as Li Qi's rebellious grandson, don't want to snatch this country away from my hands! This world is mine...... (To be continued.) )
