As soon as the news of Jingli's siege of Yuyiguan came, Li Shimin was startled, patted the table and stood up, took a deep breath, calmed his mood and calmly issued an order: "Pass the order, hang up the battle exemption card, not to confront the Turkic army head-on, strictly guard the city gate, and send all the generals to the Chinese army tent." ”

After speaking, he first took Tang Changyu straight to the city wall to inspect the military situation, the city wall hung a war-free card, Li Shimin looked down, only to see Jingli horizontal knife immediately, majestic riding a horse in front of the army, saw Li Shimin and Tang Changyu walked on the city wall, Jingli raised his weapon, pointed at Li Shimin with a knife, and shouted loudly: "Li Shimin, what kind of ability do you have to hide in Yu Yiguan, you are in vain by the reputation of the world, now you are afraid of the head and tail, you are afraid of being beaten once, you have the ability to do not hang up the war-free card, come out to fight." Now that my army has completely surrounded you, you still don't have to fight to the death. ”

Li Shimin's face was gloomy and very gloomy, he didn't say anything and turned around and walked down the city wall, only ordering the city gate to be guarded.

In the Chinese military tent, the four people who had just left returned here, and they had heard that Yu Yiguan was besieged by Jingli, and they couldn't help but worry about the clouds, and several people had no intention of chatting, they all frowned, their expressions were serious, and they were quietly waiting for Li Shimin and Tang Changyu to come back.

After Li Shimin came back, his expression was serious, expressionless, and he asked calmly: "You Aiqing already know that we have been surrounded by Turkic troops, what can you do?" ”

For a while, the five of them couldn't think of a way, so they could only be silent, Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on Liuning, and he asked in a deep voice: "General Liuning, what are you saying about the ambush in the valley?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Ning looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes, and said fearlessly: "Your Majesty, do you mean to doubt me when you say this?" ”

Li Shimin did not reply, but turned his attention to Tang Changyu, according to Li Shimin's judgment, Tang Changyu's reaction just now showed that what he just said made Tang Changyu suspicious, otherwise he would not have denied it, that Wanyan's speculation may not be unreasonable.

Tang Changyu felt the pressure of Li Shimin's gaze, and looked at Liuning, the two looked at each other, Tang Changyu looked at Liuning's eyes openly, neither dodging, nor implying requests and justifications, Tang Changyu chose to believe that Liubin wanted to defend his sister, but was interrupted by Tang Changyu, he looked directly at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you are suspicious of Liuning, but I believe in her, she will not do this." Now instead of being suspicious of each other, we should find a way to break through, which is the top priority. ”

Li Shimin didn't pursue this issue again, but the doubts in his heart were not dispelled.

Li Shimin and the generals continued to discuss, and when it came to the question of how to break through the siege, Tang Changyu put forward a bold plan to break through the siege outside and return to Chang'an to move the rescue troops.

But everyone felt that this plan was too risky, the Turks outside were heavily surrounded, and it was difficult for Yu Yiguan to fly out even if he was surrounded, not to mention breaking through the encirclement alone, Li Shimin did not agree, and said that he would think about it and let everyone disperse.

Three days passed before Tang Changyu's breakthrough plan, Yu Yi closed the last snow of winter, and then, the spring breeze took away the last trace of cold, and the weather began to warm up slowly, but the cold in the barracks could not linger.

Finally, Li Shimin made up his mind to accept Tang Changyu's proposal to break through and return to Chang'an City to move the rescue troops, everyone was worried about Tang Changyu's comfort, Liuning was the most uneasy, and he must break through with Tang Changyu, Tang Changyu did not allow it, but Li Shimin agreed without hesitation, Liuning thought that he would have to spend more words and tongues to persuade him, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to agree so happily, only Tang Changyu understood that the emperor was taking this opportunity to test her because he did not dispel his doubts about Liuning. But that's fine, Tang Changyu thought that as long as he protected Liuning, he would take this opportunity to let Liuning clear his suspicion.

Although Liu Ning was happy to get Li Shimin's permission, he was more nervous in the face of the pressure of the army, and hurried back to prepare, but when he walked to the door, he saw a white carrier pigeon lying in front of the door.

Liuning stepped forward and picked up the carrier pigeon, the pigeon's left foot was a little abrasional, and there was a letterhead tied to his right leg, Liuning opened the letterhead, and it said pay attention to Tang Changyu's movements.

But who will be the person who will secretly contact Jingli and know the core secrets of military affairs? Before Liu Ning had time to think about this problem, he found a more important problem, now that the letterhead was in his hand, the carrier pigeon was parked in front of his door, and the emperor's suspicion was directed at himself, so wouldn't this traitor splash all the dirty water on himself?

Liu Ning didn't dare to think deeply about the ill-intentioned intentions of this mysterious person, so he hurriedly went back to the house to bandage the carrier pigeon and let him fly, and hid the letterhead again, but he never thought that the scene just now fell into the eyes of Tang Changyu, who came back from the training camp.

Tang Changyu stood behind Liuning and didn't make a sound, not knowing what she was doing, until he saw Liuning releasing the carrier pigeon from a distance, and something seemed to be tied to the left leg of the carrier pigeon, Tang Changyu's heart was cold, thinking of Li Shimin's various doubts, and the carrier pigeon that flew away, he didn't expect that the woman he trusted so much and loved him had been lurking so deeply, quietly betraying everything.

Tang Changyu tried to calm his mood, tried to restrain his urge to question Liuning loudly, and walked around the barracks several times before returning to the house, but saw Liuning sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

After letting go of the carrier pigeon, Liuning quickly thought about the question just now in his brain, who is this person who betrayed ** and calculated himself? Liuningzai carefully calculated everyone, Tang Changyu and Zhao Nan have been-for-tat with Jingli from the beginning, and the two have never been the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, it won't be them, Liubin is his brother, his brother's personality Liuning can still be guaranteed, although Liubin usually gives people a very casual feeling, but this principle will never be ambiguous in major matters, although Chu Chu and Jingli know each other but are not familiar with each other, although Jingli's secret weapon cannot rule out the possibility that Jingli wants to kill people and destroy his mouth, but Chu Chu has always been simple-minded, Not so much thought, and even less suspicious.

Liuning thought about all these people in his heart, but there was still no result, and he thought about all kinds of links again, looking for clues and people that he had missed, and finally came up with an amazing answer in his heart-

Wanyan.

Liuning tried hard to convince herself that this was impossible, that day Wanyan had a snowball fight with everyone and built a snowman together, obviously there was no longer a hostile estrangement, but she was Jingli's sister after all, and it was indeed her own willfulness that allowed Wanyan to be trapped in the harem, so she also had enough reasons to hate herself like this.

Liu Ning thought about the problem and thought about it so much that Tang Changyu didn't notice it when he came in, knowing that Tang Changyu patted Liu Ning lightly on the shoulder, and Liu Ning came back from the state of looking at the ceiling all the time, and Liu Ning really took a big jump.

Tang Changyu looked at Liuning seriously and didn't speak, Liuning got up and poured a glass of water for Tang Changyu, handed it to Tang Changyu and asked, "Why did you come back from the training camp so late?" ”

Tang Changyu didn't answer the water, didn't answer, just looked straight at Liuning, Liuning felt that today's Changyu was a little abnormal, and asked tentatively: "Changyu, what's wrong with you today?" Something doesn't seem right. ”

Tang Changyu didn't answer Liuning's question, he was already trying his best to control the mood of wanting to question, but at this moment, he just wanted to prove Liuning's innocence as soon as possible, so he bluntly threw out the biggest question in his heart: "A-Ning, you answer my question honestly, is it you who reported to Jingli?" What did you do in the three days when you disappeared when Yu Yiguan was recuperating from my illness? ”

Liu Ning felt incredible, and suddenly felt that his body was shrouded in cold, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground, but he still said calmly: "Changyu, are you doubting me when you say this?" ”

Tang Changyu stood up and grabbed Liuning's shoulders, kept shaking Liuning, his eyes were wide, the fire of anger surged into his heart, and he asked Liuning: "Answer my question quickly!" Answer me! Tell me, it's not you! Explain everything to me! ”

Liu Ning struggled to break free of Tang Changyu's hand holding his shoulder, took a step back, endured his grievances, and calmly explained: "Changyu, I said it wasn't me, do you really believe it?" Whether it was in the past or now, you have always been afraid of my identity as a Turkic princess and refused to believe me. Now I'm telling you, it's really not me, I didn't go anywhere for the three days you were recuperating from your injuries, I was just helping you deal with military affairs. ”

Tang Changyu's heart couldn't help but be a little annoyed that he had treated Liuning like this just now, and reached out to hug Liuning, but was blocked by Liuning, Tang Changyu and Liuning looked at each other, but saw the deep disappointment and pain in Liuning's eyes, but all this could not dispel this trust, but Liuning didn't understand the contradiction of the evidence in front of him, and once again said his doubts: "Then what happened to the carrier pigeon just now?" What did you send? These words were like a sharp blade stuck in Liuning's heart, and it hurt in Liuning's heart, and he agreed that it hurt in Tang Changyu's heart.

Liuning's tone became even colder, trying his best to suppress his emotions that were about to explode, but he was pitiful for his deep affection in exchange for all kinds of doubts, took out the note and threw it in front of Tang Changyu, pointed to the words on it and said: "I'll say it one last time, it's not me, the carrier pigeon I picked up in front of the door, it was written by Jingli saying to pay more attention to you, I didn't pass the news out, believe it or not." ”

After Liu Ning said this, Tang Changyu could hear her choking that she tried her best to suppress, Liu Ning looked at Tang Changyu without squinting, Tang Changyu weakly grabbed Liu Ning's hand, took Liu Ning into his arms, and said very guiltily: "A-Ning, I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you." ”

Liu Ning hummed lightly, pushed Tang Changyu away, and walked out of the door alone, leaving Tang Changyu standing alone in the room, regretful.
