Chapter 38: The Turkic King's City

Seven days passed in a flash in the tense preparations, and Tang Changyu and Lin Yilan successfully rushed to the front line with rescue soldiers.

Wanyan still didn't give up and went to Jingli, and once again proposed her plan, but Jingli was put under house arrest in the same way.

Wanyan didn't panic, she was calm and calm, and said calmly before being escorted away: "If you think that taking me and Liuning as hostages can force Li Shimin to withdraw from the army, you are wrong. ”

The Turkic army and ** both took this opportunity to recuperate and sharpen their knives for this last battle, and both sides hoped that they could have more days to recuperate, but the day of the war was still coming soon.

The two armies faced each other, and the aura of slaughter that permeated the shadows of the swords and swords far exceeded the last cold of winter, and Jingli and Tang Changyu both stood in front of the formation.

Yu Yiguanli finally got the news that Tang Changyu and Lin Yilan had successfully brought reinforcements, and he was relieved, and hurriedly led by Zhao Nan to rush out to support, and attacked the Turkic army on both sides.

Tang Changyu's face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp, implying gloom, and he opened his mouth lightly, but every word was sonorous and powerful, and he was loud: "Jingli, now that our reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty have arrived, we are fighting with Yu Yiguan back and forth, no matter how hard you struggle, it is only a dead end, let Liuning go, and you can be spared a way to live." ”

Jing Li smiled contemptuously, explained to his subordinates to escort Liu Ning to the front of the battle, and responded to Tang Changyu: "What if I don't? ”

Liuning did not wear armor as usual, but wore his usual white clothes, his hair was simply pulled up, only a hosta was inserted, and his face was more haggard than when they were separated, although Liuning tried his best to hide it, Tang Changyu could also see that Liuning was exhausted these days.

Why is God always willing to give me and Liuning so many tests, Tang Changyu secretly said in his heart, we just love each other, what's wrong with this? Why should we be put to the test again and again in front of the righteousness of our family and country?

"Then you'll have to die." Tang Changyu replied firmly, and after speaking, he took the lead and rushed forward first, launching the first round of onslaught against Jingli.

Liu Ning was stunned and didn't move, the soldiers guarding her around her were only concerned about resisting the attack of **, and they had already left her behind, this was her chance to escape, but Tang Changyu's approach made her feel cold, and in the face of such a thing, he once again chose to give up on her.

Liuning didn't pay attention, I don't know if it was the arrow released by the enemy camp or our camp, it flew straight towards Liuning, Tang Changyu was entangled with Jingli, seeing that Liuning was in danger, he hurriedly withdrew, and rushed to the direction of Liuning, with a wave of the tiger's head gun, the arrow feather was broken into two in the air and fell at Liuning's feet.

Tang Changyu was stunned when he saw Liuning there, he was anxious, and he dragged Liuning's arm to let her get on the horse, but Liuning stood in place without cooperation, but raised his head and looked at Tang Changyu directly.

Tang Changyu understood that Liuning was blaming himself, but after all, now was not the time to be petty, Tang Changyu was anxious and angry and shouted to Liuning: "A-Ning, what are you doing!" Hurry up and get on the horse! ”

Liuning still stood there and didn't move, Jingli chased after him again, and swung a knife at Tang Changyu, Tang Changyu hurriedly turned around to resist, but an arrow flew straight into Liuning's shoulder from nowhere.

At this critical moment, Zhao Nan arrived with Yu Yiguan's soldiers, and Li Shimin was not at ease, so he also followed. With Zhao Nan helping Tang Changyu resist Jingli, Tang Changyu hurriedly jumped off the horse to check on Liuning's injuries.

Jingli saw Li Shimin coming, a smug smile appeared on his cheeks, and a gesture beckoned the soldiers to escort Wanyan up, Li Shimin was very surprised when he saw Wanyan appear here like this, and hurriedly told his subordinates to stop.

Li Shimin glared at Jingli angrily and shouted, "Jingli, what are you doing here?!" Why are you so ruthless, Wanyan is your own sister! ”

Jingli also asked his soldiers to stop first, with a smile on his face, and asked Li Shimin: "Aren't you ruthless?" ”

Li Shimin was silent for a while, as if he had made up a lot of great determination, and said lightly: "Jingli, as long as you let Wanyan come back today, I will let you go back to the Turkic King City, and I will fight to the death in your Turkic King City in the future." ”

Jing Li couldn't help but smile proudly when he saw that the calculation in his heart really came true, but this result was not the same as he expected, he thought that Tang Changyu would take the initiative to withdraw his troops, but he didn't expect it to be Li Shimin.

Wanyan on the side was still calm and calm in the Turkic military camp, but she pretended to be frightened by such a chaotic scene and cried, her eyes were full of tears, pear blossoms brought rain, and she shouted to Li Shimin heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty, don't care about the safety of your concubine, my brother will not hurt me." You can't sacrifice the interests of Datang for me, you can't be impulsive. ”

Jingli chuckled: "Li Shimin, do you think I'm Jingli stupid, Liuning has been rescued by you, if I let Wanyan go, I don't have any chips in my hand, how can I go back to the Turkic Royal City?" ”

Before Li Shimin could answer, Liuning stood up with his wounds covered, walked up to Jingli, and said very firmly: "Brother Jingli, you let Sister Yan go, and I will be your hostage." ”

Jingli looked at Liuning's bleeding wound with some distress, both of them were his sisters, and the palms and backs of their hands were full of meat, after all, they were just looking for a way out for themselves, and they didn't want anyone to be hurt.

Tang Changyu didn't expect Liuning to make such a decision, and ran towards Liuning, but several of Jingli's subordinates held their swords against their throats at the same time, Tang Changyu looked at Liuning and asked very puzzled: "Why?" Are you punishing me for hurting yourself? ”

Liu Ning said lightly: "You can sacrifice me for Datang, and I can also sacrifice myself for Datang." After speaking, he walked behind Wanyan, calmed Wanyan's emotions, loosened the tie for her and pushed her away, and stood where Wanyan was held.

Li Shimin stepped forward to pick up Wanyan and returned as promised, and Jingli took Liuning to successfully withdraw his troops back to the Turkic royal city.

Jingli found a military doctor for Liuning to treat the wound and placed Liuning in the courtyard where the palace originally lived, but this time he did not send heavy troops to guard the courtyard where Liuning lived, nor did he restrict Liuning's actions.

It's not because of how relieved Jingli is that Liuning won't escape, but because the palace of this Turkic royal city is guarded layer by layer, and the safety factor is comparable to that of the palace.

Thinking of this, Liu Ning couldn't help but sigh for himself.

At the beginning, his father said that he was going to Chang'an to meet him, and he originally only wanted to take Queen Mo Ying, Jingli, and Wanyan to go, but Liuning was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Chang'an depicted in the book, and wanted to take a look at the prosperous and rich scenery written in the book, "The incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor".

Thinking of all the excitement in Chang'an City, Liu Ning begged her father to take her with her, and promised her father that he would never mess around in Chang'an City, and everything would be under his orders.

But often the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes.

Liuning didn't get enough of the prosperity and beauty of Chang'an City, but he encountered the catastrophe of his fate, and since then his comfortable life has become ups and downs.

met Tang Changyu, lost his father, war, bumpy and bumpy along the way, stumbles, and came to today.

Liu Ning regretted a little why he was angry and willful with Tang Changyu in such a tense scene on the battlefield today, in fact, he could completely understand Tang Changyu's choice.

Who let the person he loves be the one who bears the heavy responsibility and puts the righteousness of the family and the country first.

Liuning shook his head and let himself stop thinking about these things, turned his head to look at the yard, the flowers and plants had already sprouted, it turned out that spring had arrived, and a year had passed since the transfer.

It was sunny outside, and Liu Ning walked out of the courtyard and walked around in this palace, looking at the layout and furnishings here, every flower and grass was still the same as if he left a year ago, Liu Ning felt relaxed physically and mentally, how good it would be if time could go back.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

It would be great if we could make a truce and live such a peaceful and comfortable life, Liuning secretly speculated that this time in the battle of Yuyiguan, both the ** and the Turkic army were lost and suffered great trauma, otherwise ** would not have to rush back to Chang'an to rescue the troops, and Brother Jingli would not have to use himself and Sister Yan to get out.

So if I can persuade Brother Jingli to stop, it would really be great.

Liuning walked and walked, and unconsciously walked to the house where his father was discussing during his lifetime, and Liuning couldn't help but recall his childhood.

Although she is the adopted daughter of the Turkic king, whether it is food and clothing or her father's favor, she is not inferior to the Turkic king's biological daughter, thinking that she was very scared when she first came to the palace, or her father and brother have been accompanying her and taking her everywhere to play, and she slowly adapted to this place.

This is the place where my father deliberates, and it is the place I am most familiar with except for my own room, where my father's collection of books is placed, and many important decisions are made from here.

But Liuning likes to mess around here since he was a child, and often makes a mess of the minister's letters to his father, but his father never blames himself.

When he grew up, Liuning liked it more, and whenever he had free time, he stayed here to read his father's collection of books, not only to learn a lot about Turkic civilization, but also to read a lot of Chinese civilization.

When encountering some obscure things, my father would always put down the government affairs in his hand and come to give advice, and sometimes discuss political affairs with him, or explain some big truths to himself.

The Turkic daughters, whether rich or poor, all worked for the family by grazing early and did not have the habit of going to school, so Liuning was able to have the current vision and courage, all by relying on the books she had read here and the teachings of her father.

At that time, Liu Ning felt very impatient to hear these lengthy truths, but now he has no chance to listen to a word of his father's teachings, and he has not even seen his father's last face.

Liuning remembered the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this may be the happiest time Liuning has laughed in so long.

But when Liu Ning thought of his father's death, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, his heart was sad, and his eyes were red, so he wanted to go into this courtyard, walk into the room, and see the good memories he had with his father.

When Liu Ning got closer, he faintly heard that there was a voice talking inside.
