……

That's not strictly a human head.

One side of the face was gone, and the other side had a long neck and spine. The wound was not flat at all, as if it had been torn.

Monk Zhu took such a head, put it in front of Li Chengqian and Li Ke, and smiled:

"Your Highness, Lao Zhu killed that old thief Yang!"

Old thief Yang is the hall master of the Huangtang in Tanzhou, and after Monk Zhu arrived here, he has been looking for his traces, and now he has found it and killed him.

Li Ke saw the human head, although the human head had been deformed, but he recognized that this was the Yang Hall Master who had been with him for a long time in the past six months.

He was shocked at first, and then his heart cooled.

He sat down in his chair decadently, and there was no thought left.

"I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so well prepared, the people around me who had relationships were all taken down by you, and the soldiers raised outside the city were also taken down by you, and even this mysterious Yang Hall Master was killed by your people. I now know that my eldest brother and I are not half a star. Although I know that I am inferior to you, and I know that my life should be like this, I am not reconciled to ......" Li Ke said this, roaring, and his face became hideous.

But then, he thought of his unwillingness, because he was born so that he could not be a prince, and he thought that his talent, as the outside world said, was a material for being a prince, but he was suffering from his background. So he was not willing to be abandoned in this hellish place because of this. But halfway through his roar, it suddenly occurred to him that Li Chengqian was not the crown prince.

If he becomes the crown prince, then he will be yelling at him, and he will be crying out for injustice.

But he didn't. He is not the prince now, and he doesn't even look at the prince in his eyes. I took the initiative to quit and complained. This prince is not him, he called the wrong person.

Li Chengqian only spoke at this time: "You understand now, right? ”

What does he want Li Ke to understand? Li Ke's position as the crown prince that they are striving for is what Li Chengqian does not want, and what they call injustice is actually their greed. If they weren't greedy, would they have stayed like this?

Judging from this indisputable attitude, Li Chengqian is higher than them.

"......" Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian steadily, and only lowered his head for a while. A lot of things. It is only when it comes to despair that people understand, but that's it.

Li Chengqian pointed to the wine glass and said, "Drink it, go all the way." ”

Li Ke's eyelids jumped, and he was deeply unwilling in his heart, but there was the bald guy standing next to Li Chengqian, he was the one who killed Hall Master Yang with his own hands, and how high Hall Master Yang's martial arts were. Li Ke knew that it could be seen how high the bald man's force was, and judging from the way Yang Tang Master died, the bald man's methods were very cruel. So Li Ke gave up the last thought. The stiff hand picked up the glass and drank it violently.

When he had finished his drink, he slammed his glass into the hall. Then he laughed.

The laughter was very chic. Free and easy, all of a sudden it gives people the feeling of seeing through the world.

Laughter. Li Chengqian was dyed by this atmosphere, picked up the wine glass, and stopped drinking.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian blankly, and Monk Zhu was also stunned.

This is poisonous wine, what are you drinking it for?

Li Chengqian said lightly from the strange gazes of the two: "This is good wine, what to see." Come back to Beijing with me. ”

When he finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Li Ke was stunned, and then looked at the wine on the table, it was indeed the same pot, it was not poisonous wine, but he didn't expect to be tricked.

In February after the Spring Festival, Li Chengqian and Li Ke returned to Chang'an.

Li Chengqian took Li Ke to see Lao Li, and watched Lao Li take the whip and beat Li Ke in person, and the whip was bloody.

This is his most beloved son, but he didn't expect to listen to others and turn against himself. And it is also the words of Yang Guang's nephew in the previous dynasty.

After the draw, he demoted Li Ke to a commoner and handed him over to Li Chengqian's care.

That means that if something happens to you in Furong Garden, Li Chengqian will be fully responsible.

This makes Li Chengqian unhappy, is there such a reason?

But Lao Li's opinion is that you don't kill people, and now that they are brought to Chang'an, no one can bear to do it, so you will take care of it yourself.

yes, it can't be helped.

And Lao Li knew that Yang Guang's dark party was still active, and tempted and threatened people like Li Ke to rebel, he was very angry, the dark party was not eliminated, and he didn't know how many princes and generals were tempted by them to rebel in the future. Therefore, he asked Li Chengqian to have full authority to find out about the secret party in the future, and if he was caught, he would kill him, and no one should be left behind.

Li Chengqian reluctantly agreed.

Because to do this, it is necessary to use spies and the strength of the army, so Li Chengqian has a post in Zuo Wuwei and also a post in the spy department.

For Li Chengqian, it is very easy to catch these dark parties.

Because he has the killer department of the dark party, Midorido.

Now the hall master of the Green Hall, the bald guy, is eating meat and drinking wine in the Furong Garden.

He knew the contact information of the dark party, as well as the operation method, and it was not difficult to find it.

But Li Chengqian couldn't find them out all at once.

It needs to be well planned.

The remaining four halls are divided into two years, and it would be good to catch one from time to time.

So, from now on, Li Chengqian has taken on multiple positions. However, he is a bad bastard, and he still only nests in the agricultural college every day, and does not often go to Zuo Wuwei and the spy department.

When Li Chengqian's side was hanging, the weather in the northeast warmed up, and the war began again.

At this time, the imperial court also increased its troops there.

Because the gunpowder was stolen by Dongying at the beginning, the account had to be calculated on Dongying's head. Didn't Goguryeo also be sentenced to death because he had gunpowder, and this Dongying could still run.

I have to say that Datang's sense of distress is still very strong, and it cannot tolerate a force that has stolen something like gunpowder. Once you tolerate it, you will be unlucky in the future.

Therefore, the purpose of increasing troops now is to fight Baekje and Dongying at the end of Goguryeo.

Toei is a Japanese island, and the water army is used.

As a result, a lot of the sailors on the Fujian side have been pumped over, and now they are all going to the Bohai Sea.

There is a stable rear, the materials on the front line have not been strained, and the country is now developing all kinds of large-scale development, and the reclamation of Longyou needs manpower again, and cement roads are being built all over the country, so the prisoners captured in the war are immediately sent to the places where they are needed. Supply exceeds demand, so fighting on the front line is particularly refreshing.

There is a need in the rear, and of course they have to meet it.

In August, the entire territory of Goguryeo was conquered, except for leaving a part of the captives to build cement roads in Goguryeo and clean up the battlefield, the rest of the Goguryeo people were captured in the Tang Dynasty.
