The most right thing that Emperor Daliang did in his life was not to burn the city.

When Zhao Yi came to Xiao Ce with Emperor Liang's bloody head, Xiao Ce saw the face that was already blue with his eyes closed, and remembered that in fact, when he first arrived in Chang'an when he was very young, Emperor Liang also stretched out his hand, hugged him in front of Chang'an's courtiers, and gave him a mansion and a scroll.

It's just that too many things happened later, and those things in the past seem to be in the past.

Xiao Ce's gaze fell on Zhao Yi, who was wearing Mingguang armor, but was already covered with blood all the way over:

"Bury Emperor Liang well, General Zhao has worked hard today, go down and have a good rest, and I will send someone to write a book to my father together with the general's immortal exploits today."

Zhao Yi knelt on the ground and did not raise his head, but his speech was sonorous and powerful:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

They rode all the way to the palace, and the palace caught fire, which was said to be used to cover Emperor Liang's escape, but Xiao Ce had already sent someone to surround the entire Chang'an City, not to mention that Emperor Liang was a living person, even a fly would be difficult to fly out of Chang'an City.

Ning Yu has already dismantled his subordinates to find the jade seal of Daliang, although it is just an ordinary stone now, but after all, it was once a symbol of a large number of royal families, and such things can also continue to be used when they move the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Chang'an has always been a large number of national capitals, and it is the same for them, but in the future, they will have to set the name of the country, move the capital, and have a series of long things to do, but this is all a later story.

Xiao Ce just glanced at the palace gate and looked up, the plaque that had fallen off because the door was a refugee or some other reason was full of ashes.

It's as if everything from yesterday is vivid.

It's just that those people who studied together at Shangqing Academy gradually disappeared, and only he stood here again.

He didn't set foot in the palace, but just sent Ning Yu to put away the jade seal, and sent the jade seal to Luoyang and his father's hands in the coming day.

I don't know who asked: "Since Your Highness has arrived at the gate of Ziwei Palace, why don't you stop by and take a look?" ”

After he finished asking, everyone was silent, perhaps knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and the man quickly lowered his head.

However, when Li Hanning and Lu Changfeng heard this, their eyes silently fell on Xiao Ce, who was walking in the front.

They rightly thought that after conquering Chang'an, they would definitely want to enter the palace to have a look, after all, it was the place where the Son of Heaven once lived, and it was a symbol of power.

But even at this time, Xiao Ce was still sober in his bones.

He is just the King of Ming, just His Royal Highness the King of Ming in Luoyang.

There are rules that should not be overcome.

Xiao Ce looked up at the old plaque that had gone through the wind and frost, and seemed to say a little melancholy: "No, I had a mansion when I was in Chang'an before, and I will live there for a few days." ”

Ning Yu on the side also seemed to approve of him, and hurriedly said:

"Your Highness is wise."

That's exactly how it should be.

However, although Lu Changfeng on the side didn't say anything, he frowned faintly, and all this was taken in by Li Hanning.

There is an inconspicuous homestead in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, where Xiao Ce lived when he was still in Chang'an, and after Xiao Ce left Chang'an, this place was deserted, and weeds have faintly grown in the past few years, but it can still make do with the residents.

Xiao Ce went in to look at the room, he still had some military orders from Luoyang to deal with.

Lu Changfeng and Li Hanning were empty at this time, and they were walking side by side on the streets of Chang'an City, and the flames of war inevitably burned into the city, but Xiao Ce had already sent people to help the people in the city clean the streets, and the soldiers were busy all around.

Li Hanning said noncommittally and slowly: "Have you decided to leave?" ”

Lu Changfeng nodded quietly: "When I first conquered the state, I told His Highness about this matter, and he has agreed, but what about you, do you want to stay in Chang'an in the future?" ”

This is her only destination now, Li Hanning naturally plans to stay here first, she wants to stay by Xiao Ce's side for the time being:

"The visible war is over, but the invisible has just begun, the bloody storm that will come to the entire Chang'an City will not lose Luoyang back then, I plan to continue to stay here to protect Your Highness."

Lu Changfeng thought of this, not that he was unwilling to stay, but that he was different from Li Hanning, his stay in the court would only attract the jealousy of the people on the prince's side, but it would not be conducive to the future situation of their Royal Highness, but Lu Changfeng had nothing to pity in his heart, Xiao Ce had treated him very well, and he had not regretted it since he died as a confidant.

Lu Changfeng is leaving now, but he has temporarily left the open guns and hidden arrows on Chang'an's side, but he is worried about the people who stay:

"After I leave Chang'an, I plan to go back to Luochuan for a while, if you have something, or if Luochuan needs it here, you can send someone to Luochuan to find me at any time."

When Li Hanning heard this sentence, he knew that there was still room for maneuver, as long as Lu Changfeng's words were there, Xiao Ce and others would definitely come to visit in person after finishing this matter in Chang'an, Li Hanning knew Xiao Ce's character too well, he loved talent so much, he was not even willing to let go of a talent, let alone Lu Changfeng, who had been with him for so long, Xiao Ce would ask Lu Changfeng to return to the new dynasty even if he asked for it in the future.

She'll remember this place in Luochuan.

Lu Changfeng sighed softly again, and looked at the distant streets of Chang'an City with a deaf ear, Chang'an City is indeed prosperous, and this street looks like it can't find an end, but he has no intention of this:

"Speaking of all these years of fighting, I haven't been back to Luochuan for a long time, it's good to rest for a while, life is always busy and idle for a while, the boat has passed away, the rivers and seas have sent the rest of my life, I can't say that the kind of idle clouds and wild cranes are more suitable for people like me."

Li Hanning also knew in his heart that since Lu Changfeng had left the place where he wanted to go back, there would definitely be a turn for the better in these things in the future, and there would always be a day when they would meet again:

"General Lu has a good rest in the next few days, the whole Luoyang, as well as His Royal Highness, will remember the general's exploits along the way, take care of the general on the road."

"You too, take care of yourself in the future."

If Lu Changfeng hadn't been there, there would have been many battles from Luoyang to Chang'an that they couldn't fight, or they wouldn't have been able to fight so quickly.

But the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water.

Li Hanning sent him here, watching from a distance as a man and a horse walked in the afterglow of the sunset and disappeared into the streets.

When Li Hanning was in a trance, she didn't know when someone approached behind her, and his footsteps had been beside her for a long time, but she had been looking at Lu Changfeng's back and was distracted, and she didn't even notice it.

It wasn't until the familiar coughing sound that gently coughed behind her back that Li Hanning reacted.

Li Hanning turned his head and subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, but after seeing who it was, he let go of his hand and let go of his vigilance, Li Hanning blurted out in disbelief:

"Childe?"

It's Li Zhao.

Li Zhao looked at her and said, "Long time no see." ”

It's really been a long time since I saw it, and at that time I said goodbye outside Huai'an, and now I feel like a world away.

Li Zhao is now dressed in plain clothes, looking dusty, thinking that he must have been to many places and experienced many things alone during this time, I don't know when he has grown a small beard, and he no longer cares about his appearance and edge as before, only a pair of eyes are still as bright and calm as when they were separated.

Li Hanning really didn't expect that he would be in Chang'an at this time.

Or Li Zhao suddenly asked: "Is the person who said goodbye to you just now Lu Changfeng?" ”

Li Hanning responded: "Yes." ”

Li Zhao was relieved: "No wonder it looks outstanding, Yushu is in the wind, I have heard his name for a long time, and it is better to meet him when I see it from a distance today, but unfortunately I missed it." ”

He sighed softly, then looked at the person in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"By the way, Han Ning, I'm going to leave Chang'an in a few days, I know that there is a wine shop on this street, and the door is still open at this time, if General Li is not busy today, do you want to go drink with me for a while?"

She is naturally not busy, and it is rare to see the old man again, but it is rare that there is still a wine shop that dares to open at this time.

This is naturally not an ordinary wine shop, it is the family business left by the Li family to Li Zhao in the past, but such things outside the body have long been useless to him, the two of them sat in the courtyard, and the old hand trembled and took over two jars of wine, Li Zhao took it from his hand, and the two jars were given to Li Hanning a jar.

Only then did Li Hanning ask, "Has Gongzi lived in Chang'an City all this time?" ”

She didn't understand that the imperial court should still be wanted by him during this time, even if Da Liang was busy dealing with Xiao Ce and really couldn't take care of him, he was dangerous here after all.

Li Zhao quickly poured himself a big bowl of wine: "I came a few days ago, after Xiao Cebing sent to Liangzhou, I heard that Chang'an was going to be closed here, and I entered Chang'an City at that time." ”

Speaking of the Mo family, Li Hanning knew in his heart that he entered the city because of Prime Minister Mo.

It's a pity that they didn't find him this time when they conquered Chang'an City.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhao in front of him suddenly spoke: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, when you attacked the city this afternoon, I found Mo Mansion and followed Mo Tiancheng all the way out of the city, I killed him with my own hands, and finally avenged my father and mother." ”

Li Hanning was stunned when he heard this.

In the end, it was Li Zhao who shot cleanly, did not let go of the culprit who caused their Li Mansion so much, and did not let him leave Chang'an City in vain.

"But what he said to me when he died is really strange, although I don't take his words to heart, but to be on the safe side, I still have to verify it."

As for what he said, Li Zhao didn't make it clear to Li Hanning, firstly, because he didn't know whether the Mo family had specifically said this before he died, Li Zhao was worried that it was groundless, and secondly, he didn't want Li Hanning to worry about it in vain, and he naturally knew that it was not easy for them to come this way.
