When Yang Cao met Li Guangbi, she was in the Qinzheng Palace, and she was reviewing many excerpts.

Hearing the eunuch tell me that it was Li Guangbi who asked to see him outside the palace, he didn't like it in his heart, and when he saw Li Guangbi enter the hall alone, the dissatisfaction in his heart was already overflowing.

Without waiting for Li Guangbi to say long live to worship him, Yang Cao said angrily: "Li Qing's family, why did you return alone." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen ......" Li Guangbi thought that Yang Caozhi's anger was because he failed to bring Yang Ping'an back, and when he saw that there were eunuchs and palace maids around, he didn't know what to answer for a while,

Seeing that he was slightly embarrassed when he wanted to speak, how could Yang Cao not know his thoughts, and he was even more annoyed at the moment: "Li Qingjia, do you know that now that the Tang army is pressing, you, as the marshal of the army, have a difficult task of controlling the armies along the river to resist the Tang army.

But you left behind your soldiers and returned to the capital alone, in case Guo Ziyi took advantage of the situation to cross the river in a big way, and the Yangtze River defense line was lost, you can afford to bear the crime. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Jiangbei Tang Army is no longer to worry, whether the minister is in the barracks or not, the enemy commander Guo Ziyi will retire, and this war should be over."

Yang Cao was stunned: "Oh, why." ”

"Because, the minister let Yang return to the Northern Tang Dynasty safely."

Li Guangbi let Yang Ping'an go, not because he was moved by the latter, but more because he took into account the interests of Da Zhou, the interests of Tian Cewei, and the interests of Yang Cao.

At present, Yang Cao has just ascended the throne, although Tian Cewei has been deployed in secret for a long time, and has used several opportunities to kill a large number of dissident people, temporarily controlling the situation in the Zhou Dynasty, but the government is not stable enough after all.

Guo Ziyi is not an ordinary person, Tiance has long regarded him as one of the biggest enemies, Li Guangbi led the army to the south bank of the Yangtze River, it is almost impossible to defeat Guo Ziyi, the most is defense, waiting for the Tang army to retreat on its own,

As an important figure in Tiance and deeply trusted by Yang Cao, Li Guangbi knew Yang Ping'an's identity very well and put him back in the Northern Tang Dynasty, Yang Rui was sure to continue to use Yang Ping'an to redeploy the southern expedition, so there was no need for Guo Ziyi's army to continue to attack the Yangtze River defense line.

In this way, there will be a short-term peace between the Tang and Zhou countries, and Yang Rui will redeploy, squeezing Yang Ping'an's surplus value even more; And Yang Cao can take the opportunity to consolidate the government, eradicate all future troubles, and lay a solid foundation for restoring the majesty of Tiance in the future and changing back to the martial surname.

"In this way, Yang Ping'an has crossed the Yangtze River at this moment and entered the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty." The indescribable bitterness in Yang Cao's heart, and his expression became lonely,

Wu Ting is now a female official beside Yang Cao, and when she heard Yang Cao's tone, she immediately withdrew from the Qinzheng Hall with the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, and she was guarding the door of the Qinzheng Palace.

Li Guangbi nodded slightly at her to show his approval, and after there were no outsiders in the hall, he said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has always had something unclear. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Why has Your Majesty been obstructing Yang Gongzi's return to Tang?" Seeing that Yang Cao was silent, Li Guangbi continued, "Your Majesty is wise and unparalleled, and you can understand that Yang Rui is uneasy and kind to Yang Gongzi, Your Majesty's ancestors once said, but whenever the world is in turmoil, there will be a Mandate of Heaven to appear, and what this Mandate of Heaven is trying to do is not just for the stability of the world.

Therefore, Yang Ruiding can't accommodate Yang Gongzi, and Yang Gongzi, as a person of destiny, even if his head injury is not healed and his memory is lost, it is not easy to have the favor of God.

Returning to the Northern Tang Dynasty this time, Yang Rui is determined to use Yang Gongzi to deal with His Majesty, just like he used Yang Gongzi to deal with Yang Shuo, but Yang Gongzi and His Majesty have a deep affection, I am afraid that this time Yang Rui will lift a stone and hit his own feet, maybe in the future, Yang Gongzi will open the door to the north for His Majesty, so that Wang Shi will play all the way to sweep the north,

These ministers can think of it, and Your Majesty will definitely be able to think of it, but why did Your Majesty repeatedly prevent Yang Gongzi from returning to Tang. ”

Yang Cao didn't answer his question, just laughed at himself, and his expression was indescribably lonely: "He and I have a deep affection, hehe, Li Aiqing, have you lost your eyes." ”

"Weichen thinks that Weichen is not mistaken, Yang Gongzi is a person who values love and righteousness, and during the time he came to my Great Zhou, he got along very happily with His Majesty, and how could he easily give up, the reason why he wanted to return to Tang regardless of everything, was just because he had too many worries about him in the eastern capital Luoyang, and those worries could be in danger at any time."

"Isn't there any danger here, he values love and righteousness, if that's the case, how can he give up Dong'er He, who he hasn't seen for many years, and ...... Just left mercilessly. ”

Sensing that Yang Cao's mood was getting lower and lower, Li Guangbi clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, but Your Majesty wants to say that he abandoned the Dong'er woman and Your Majesty, so it seems ruthless." ”

"Bold."

"Your Majesty's atonement." Li Guangbi hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, forgive the minister's offense, the minister knows something that he shouldn't know, but the minister wants to say that Yang Gongzi is by no means ruthless to His Majesty, otherwise when he is in the Imperial Garden, how can he sacrifice himself to block the deadly secret weapon launched by the world's first murder weapon that His Majesty." ”

Thinking of Yang Ping'an's flying body at the cost of his life and blocking the bullet for himself, Yang Cao's heart felt a burst of warmth for no reason: "Li Aiqing, calm down, I have just lost my temper, I ask you, when Yang Ping'an left, did you leave any words." ”

Seeing Li Guangbi shaking his head, the warmth that had just emerged in Yang Cao's heart suddenly turned cold, but Li Guangbi took the words to make this warmth even warmer.

"Your Majesty, Yang Gongzi did not leave a word, but there is something to be handed over to Weichen to present to Your Majesty." After saying that, Li Guangbi took out an object from his arms, held it above his head with both hands, and offered it to Yang Cao.

"It's here." As soon as Yang Cao saw the thing in Li Guangbi's hand, his eyes suddenly widened, and he instantly became ruddy, and he stroked the strange thing with one hand, and choked up, "He asked you to hand this thing over to me." ”

Yang Ping'an asked Li Guangbi to bring Yang Cao, it was in Jiangnan that he had saved the body armor of his name several times, just like Yang Cao himself said, don't look at her as an emperor now, but the danger level has increased instead of decreasing, not only to face the assassins that the Northern Tang Dynasty may send at any time, but also to prevent the assassination of the remnants of the Jiangdong Wang clan and those with bad intentions,

Yang Cao knows very well the treasure of this body armor, even the indestructible hidden weapon launched by the world's first murder weapon can resist, if you talk about the world's treasure, I am afraid that this thing ranks first,

"He has a conscience." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Yang Cao fell into the memory, tears slid down his face, moistening the corners of his mouth, with a hint of sweetness,

After a long time, when she woke up from her memories, she found that Li Guangbi was still waiting in the hall, knowing that she had just lost her temper, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and put away the body armor: "Li Aiqing, what else do you have to do." ”

The corners of Li Guangbi's mouth twitched twice: "The minister is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty ......"

As explained above, in addition to Li Guangbi intercepting Yang Ping'an in Changtaidu, Gao Xianzhi led his soldiers and horses to chase after him, and when Gao Xianzhi killed all the shadow guards in charge of the broken back, he continued to lead the army to pursue until Changtaidu,

learned from Li Guangbi that Yang Ping'an had crossed the Yangtze River, he did not listen to Li Guangbi's orders, and insisted on leading 100 elite horsemen to continue to cross the river in pursuit, and it seemed that he was bound to catch Yang Ping'an.

In fact, he did catch up with Yang Ping'an and others, and surrounded Yang Ping'an and others.

At noon, Yang Ping'an and his people were surrounded by Gao Xianzhi and his 100 elite horsemen on a small hillside north of the Yangtze River.

It is said that he crossed the river nearly half an hour before Gao Xianzhi, and he should have been able to get rid of the pursuit, but he didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to chase after him, even if Li Guangbi had already promised to let him go,

When Gao Xianzhi surrounded them, they were resting on the hillside, and at the same time eating some dry food to replenish their strength, and when they arrived in the territory of Datang, they didn't think that there would be a small force of the Zhou army chasing after them.

"Young Master Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it was not easy for you to deceive Gao Mou back then." Gao Xianzhi turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Yang Ping'an,

At present, Yang Ping'an and the others have no strength to resist at all, even Li Bai is also injured, and Dao Ji has never moved his hand along the way.

"You've chased it here." Yang Ping'an shook his head helplessly, and arched his hand at Gao Xianzhi, "General Gao, don't come to harm, what happened back then was just a last resort, could it be that the general is chasing after him today because of what happened back then." ”

Gao Xianzhi was in charge of the defense of Nanjing City, Yang Ping'an was actually rescued from Nanjing City by the shadow guards, and opened the city gate in the middle of the night, this is a very serious matter, it is his Gao Xianzhi's dereliction of duty,

However, Gao Xianzhi chased after him hard, but it was not entirely for this matter, when he learned that Yang Ping'an crossed the river through Changtai, he gave up the idea of arresting Yang Ping'an, but he still had one more thing to ask Yang Ping'an face to face.

"Now that he is in the Tang Realm, Gao no longer has the luxury." Speaking of this, he suddenly bowed respectfully to Yang Ping'an, "Gao Xianzhi thanked the son for the cheap." ”

After the Shandong incident, Tian Cewei finally found the place where Liu Qingqing's bones were buried, and even restored the scene of the crime, and inquired that Yang Ping'an buried Liu Qingqing that night.

Gao Xianzhi has a deep affection for Liu Qingqing, and regards him as his wife, so he thanked Yang Ping'an in person, and did not let Liu Qingqing be in the wilderness.

When he thanked him, he suddenly asked again: "Please also tell Gongzi who killed Bennei that night, before Qingqing died, Gao failed to protect her safety and caused her to die in vain; Now Gao wants to avenge her, slash the enemy, and sacrifice Qingqing with the enemy's head. ”

The corners of Yang Ping'an's mouth twitched twice, and he said bitterly: "General Gao, I'm afraid you won't be able to avenge this revenge." ”

"Why, that person is strong in martial arts, it's always like this, Gao fights to the death, and he has to be killed."

Fight to the death, even if you die, I'm afraid it's not Lao Sutou's opponent, if it's Daoji, I'm afraid you can still fight with Lao Sutou...... Hey, why do I think of Daoji when I think of Lao Sutou,

"That person is already dead, presumably your family master also knows that he was forced to die on the Luoshui River by Yang Rui."

Gao Xianzhi was very straightforward, and did not doubt whether Yang Ping'an was lying to himself, and then hugged his fists, thanked Yang Ping'an for telling the truth, endured the pain of not being able to avenge his beloved woman with his own hands, turned over his horse, and was about to lead his troops away.

However, just as they were about to leave, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose in the north, kicking up smoke and dust in the sky, and a rough and somewhat unruly tone remembered loudly: "The horse is afraid, the Xuzhou guard general Shi Siming is coming, and the enemy general is leaving." ”
