Wang Shilang didn't hide it, but he also avoided it like the middle-aged woman in the post house before: "I'm just threading the needle, how dare I say that I am kind to Mrs. Wu." ”

He said: "Among the bereaved female dependents that General Li picked up at the beginning, there were also my old days, so although General Li and Mrs. Wu had not widely publicized it, I also knew about it and admired it very much. Otherwise, how could he come to ask Wu Niangzi for help on the night of the city chaos? Before I came here, I also thought twice. ”

"The root cause of other people's guidance is because of the good cause that Wu Niangzi planted at the beginning, and it was no one else who saved Wu Niangzi, it was Wu Niangzi herself that day!"

Wu Cuicui was stunned when she heard this, and then tears welled up in her eyelashes.

……

Wu Erlang came from the city Pegasus, and when he saw that there was no preparation for the master's departure in the manor, he already felt a little ominous in his heart: "Cuicui, how can you ......?"

Wu Cuicui retired from the attendant and said seriously: "Brother, I am a person who has been confused all my life, I don't know how many people have been dragged down before and after, this time, I don't want to drag you down anymore." ”

She said: "I had a bad relationship with Li Tianrong, and now I am following you to Shunzhou for refuge, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing, this is one of them; I'm worried that I'm stupid and drag down my family again, that's the second thing; I'm not willing to leave the capital just like that, this is the third! ”

Wu Cuicui's expression then became firm, clenching her sleeves, and the hatred in her eyes was monstrous: "Daddy and brother are dead, Auntie is dead, and there is a second sister-in-law...... That father and son killed so many of our families before and after, and now we want to run away in disgrace and go elsewhere to live in secret, how can there be such a reason in the world? I'm not reconciled! ”

Wu Erlang frowned and said, "What can you do if you are unwilling?" Don't I hate it in my heart? But it's not as good as ......."

"Opportunities are not waiting for them, they are earned!"

Wu Cuicui said categorically: "I won't leave, brother, you take a few children, ask the 3,000 cavalry to escort you, go to Shuncheng, I have already asked the servants and maids in the manor, and those who are willing to go with you will also go together." As for me—you treat me as dead, don't worry about it! ”

She drew her dagger, cut off one of her sleeves and threw it on the ground, and said again: "Let me die, and leave me alone!" If I have a great revenge one day, I will go to you, and if not, we will never see each other again! ”

"The ninth princess is in the emperor's place, the two children will be safe, you go to the king of Wei, don't participate in military and political affairs, and think that the ancestors can also protect your life. The Wu family has endless blood, this is your greatest filial piety, as for me, I also have my way to go! ”

"It's just a cheap life, what can't be left behind?!"

It was the first time Wu Erlang saw such a resolute and cold look on his sister's face.

He did sense her determination.

"Cuicui, you, take care."

Wu Cuicui corrected him and said, "You should say, may I have a successful day." ”

……

Wu Erlang, with a few children and a cadre of the Wu family, and a servant and maidservant, embarked on the road to Shunzhou under the escort of the 3,000 cavalry.

As early as the beginning of his separation from Li Shimin and Li Qiao, he sent people to Shuncheng to deliver letters.

Li Tianrong was full of sorrow, but he also knew what the defection of the Wu family, a hairpin family, meant to him, so naturally there was no reason to do so.

He promised to send someone to pick up the Wu family.

Wu Cuicui stood on the top of the platform, looking into the distance, and saw the mighty team disappear from sight, speechless for a long time.

Wang Shilang was on the side and asked softly, "Are you really not leaving?" Wu Niangzi regrets it now, it's still too late. ”

Wu Cuicui asked rhetorically, "Why doesn't Mr. go with him?" ”

Wang Shilang said: "Because Brother Ling and I are not fellow travelers. ”

Wu Cuicui looked sideways.

Wang Shilang said: "It's different from Brother Ling's choice, I really want to meet that famous Li Changshi." ”

Wu Cuicui was slightly surprised: "I thought that Mr. would want to stay here and help the community ......."

Wang Shilang said: "Such a crumbling and moth-eaten pavilion will let it rot happily." ”

Wu Cuicui said strangely: "Mr. didn't seem to think like this before? ”

Wang Shilang said: "Because at that time, I didn't know that this Li Changshi was such a person! ”

Wu Cuicui asked him, "Are you going to leave too?" ”

"No," Wang Shilang's eyes were dark, and he said in a low voice, "I have to wait a little longer." ”

……

Wang Shilang did not choose to follow Wu Erlang to join the King of Wei, but this obviously did not make the father and son of the Heavenly Family feel pleased.

Because Wang Shilang was born in a poor family, and his ancestors were only able to make a history of assassination in one state, and it was only a few generations ago, his father was actually just an insignificant county in Xiazhou......

But the Wu family is different!

The ancestor of the Wu family is the founder of the country, following Emperor Taizu for many years, he was awarded the title of county duke, and then he was demoted to the prince of the country.

Otherwise, how could the son of the Wu family marry the daughter of the noble concubine, and the daughter could marry the nephew of the emperor in style? !

Now, such a famous family in the sea and the head of the world's scholar clan has gone to King Wei with his family!

Isn't this a blatant announcement to the world that the Son of Heaven is not virtuous and has a bad character, and is not enough to inherit the temple?!

The most important thing is that the King of Wei he defected to is the younger brother of the Emperor Taishang's concubine, and in addition to the father and son of the Heavenly Family, he is the most powerful clan today!

The Emperor Taishang and the Son of Heaven would rather let the Wu family surrender to the country and turn to the rebels than let the Wu family defect to the King of Wei, because the political significance between the two is completely different!

The rebels only shook the rule of the Heavenly Family, but now the situation is improving, but once the King of Wei gains power, the Heavenly Family father and son are afraid that it will become a joke in an instant!

The departure of the Wu family has dealt a big blow to the prestige of the Heavenly Family, and what is even more fatal is that this is not just the attitude of a family.

In order to compete for power with the Emperor Taishang, the Son of Heaven disregarded political morality and raised a butcher's knife against the officials and people of the capital without warning.

Compared with the father and son of the Heavenly Family, who turned their faces and had no sense of rules, King Wei, who had always been famous for his courtesy and virtuous corporal, looked much more kind......

One is a financial product that has been thunderstormed and made them lose all their money, while the other seems to be in a good situation and is steadily rising, and anyone who wants to kick the former one away and try the second one......

Not to mention that the big brother on the list ran away overnight, what are they still doing here?

Therefore, after learning that Wu Erlang had led people away, several family members could not sit still and hurriedly followed.

At first, the family was a little uneasy: "Just left? With such a big mess, how can it be cleaned up so easily......"

But the head of the house made a quick decision: "Pick up the light ones and take them away, and throw away the bulky ones!" Now hurry up and chase after it, and you can catch up with the Wu family's team, all the way safe, no matter how late it is, I'm afraid it's too late! ”

"As for the family business-outside of the Wu family, we are the first to go in the past, and the daughter buys horse bones, how can the King of Wei treat us badly?!"

By the time the Son of Heaven and the Emperor Taishang got the news, several families had already left the city with them, and the departure of the officials even caused the people in the city to be frightened.

The Emperor and the Son of Heaven can no longer care about the internal conflict between father and son - because this has indeed shaken the foundation of their rule!

The officials and the people have abandoned the Son of Heaven one after another, this is simply a textbook version of the template of the king of the dead country!

But what to do?

Send someone to chase?

The Wu family still has 3,000 cavalry to follow, and it is possible to send reinforcements in the direction of Shuncheng at any time, and the situation is still in a temporary controllable degree at this time.

Closing the city gates and forbidding officials and citizens to go out?

Wouldn't it immediately cause panic in the city?!

Finally, the Son of Heaven could not continue to shrink in the turtle shell, and joined forces with the Emperor Taishang to stabilize the situation.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to confess his sins to the subjects of the world, and bitterly confessed his sins - of course, it is the kind that has been embellished, I am the White Lotus, and I have been deceived by traitors so much.

The Emperor Taishang also changed his previous strategy of hiding behind the scenes, and took the initiative to appear in front of everyone with the image of an old man, sick in bed, and about to die soon......

At the same time, heavy troops were dispatched to the east and camped in the east, and if things changed, they could rush to Shunzhou on a one-day march.

The war is on the verge of breaking out.

……

On the other hand, Li Shimin, who had embarked on his way home, stopped and stopped all the way, reconciled the old Texas people with Li Qiao's subordinates, sharpened his subordinates, and at the same time paid off several cottages that had plundered the common people during the interval.

It was almost stuck in the control of the Wei Wang's troops.

Looking at Gyeongju City, where the outline could almost be faintly discerned, Li Shimin could not help sighing: "Trouble is coming, so I have to bow down and swallow my anger......

Previously, he led his five thousand elites to the west, and rushed to Shunzhou day and night, didn't the King of Wei know anything about it?

It's just that he was in too much of a hurry, and the king of Wei didn't have time to stop him, and he thought that the prince of Wei would also be in the north, so he didn't make a big move.

At this time, if I turn back at this time, I am afraid that it will not be so easy if I want to hit King Wei under the nose of another person who has nothing to do, and still say nothing.

At this time, Li Shimin's establishment was still hanging in the name of the king of Wei -- the generals under his command ordered 5,000 elite soldiers to save the emperor's favorite generals without saying a word, and brought people back when they were done.

For example, after Li Shimin returned to the control of the Wei king, and even before he approached Gyeongju, he was the first to meet the people sent by the Wei king to meet him.

"Li Changshi has worked hard all the way, and the lower officials are here to greet him on the orders of the prince - this is General Li Qiao, who is famous in the sea, right? If it is really dignified and heroic, it is strange to say that it is better to meet than to be famous! ”

It was a middle-aged civil official who came, with a warm smile and a soothing tone: "The prince has prepared thin wine in Gyeongju, please go and drink together, I wonder if the two of you can give the lower official this face, and go with your entourage?" ”

Li Qiao turned his head to look at Li Shimin, who frowned: "The prince's good intentions have been received in my heart, but this journey is tiring, eating and sleeping, and it is really hard, so I still want to go to Texas to rest for a few days before I ......."

The middle-aged civil official's expression changed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

His tone became stiff: "What does Li Changshi mean, does he not want to give this face to the lower officials?" ”

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Yes, that's exactly what it means." ”

The middle-aged civil official sneered when he heard this, and the cold light flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that Li Changshi feels that his wings are stiff, and even the prince can't call you?!" ”

Li Shimin put his hands on his waist and swallowed his anger and said, "Yes, that's what I mean!" ”

Chapter 139

Before coming here, this middle-aged civil official knew what kind of errand he was undertaking, and when the King of Wei asked from his high seat, "Who can take on this important task", he did not hesitate to recommend himself.

Because in his opinion, it is just a task that seems to involve risks, but in fact there is no risk.

Does Li Changsheng dare not come?

He has some forces, and he does have some talent for leading troops to fight, but his arms can't twist his thighs, and he wants to use his current background to wrestle with King Wei?

He's not even close!

Not to mention anything else, the entire Dezhou, and then the soldiers under Li Qiao's command are only a hundred thousand, while the King of Wei has 400,000 troops!

The disparity in forces is several times greater.

Why did he, Li Changsheng, dare to go against the will of King Wei?

Middle-aged civil servants are confident that there will be no danger in this future.

But at this moment......
