Zhong Ming slowly unfolded the letter, which was sprinkled with more than 100 words, describing in detail the scene of Li Jianye's entry into Luoyang City.

Three days ago, Li Jianye's convoy met with the 10,000 Janissaries of Luoyang City in Wushan, and Hu Su was ordered to retake over the 10,000 Praetorian Guards and continue to Luoyang.

According to the letter, before Li Jianye returned to the city, he encountered three assassinations, the first two were small in scale and had no impact on Li Jianye, but the last assassination made Li Jianye lose a lot of things.

Early this morning, when the morning dawn broke, ten miles away from the south gate of Luoyang City, Chen Lianghai, a hussar general of the old department of King Qin, came forward with 10,000 tiger troops to intercept it.

At that time, Chen Lianghai immediately opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince, I will not let you enter the city at the end of today."

I am willing to bear the name of rebellion for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and exchange my life for my life. ”

The first two assassinations were no more than 100 night-worn killers, which meant to be tempting and even more dissuasive.

But this third assassination was the beginning of the battle of life and death, and sounded the war drums of the battle between Li Shicheng and Li Jianye for succession.

Chen Lianghai, the number one general under Li Shicheng, the king of Qin, came forward to stop him, and he made it clear that he would die, no matter whether he could kill Li Jianye or not, Chen Lianghai could not escape the sin of losing his head.

An inevitable war can be put on the bright side, and both Li Jianye and Li Shicheng are no longer taboo.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty turned a blind eye, it was too late for him to stop it, he didn't send someone out of the city to find Li Jianye three years ago, which meant that he couldn't manage this war above the court.

The sons are all older, and many times Li Yuan is powerless when he wants to manage it.

The founding emperor who had been on the battlefield for decades could destroy the former Chen and contend with the Later Chen and the Southern Han Dynasty, but there was nothing he could do with his two sons.

Qin King Li Shicheng holds the power of the army, can mobilize more soldiers and horses than he is the emperor, the hidden prince Li Jianye has won the hearts of the people for many years, most of the ministers above the court are from his subordinates, the courtiers are wanting, how many officials resigned because the prince left Luoyang.

At the foot of the sky, ten miles outside the imperial capital, Li Yuan closed his eyes, put his hands on his sleeves, and ignored it.

The ministers in the city understood better that this war outside Luoyang was the first threshold for Li Jianye to return to Luoyang, and if he couldn't even pass this hurdle, he would not be qualified to compete with Li Shicheng for the throne of the emperor.

Outside the south gate of Luoyang, 10,000 tigers and soldiers blocked the way, and inside the south gate, hundreds of officials knelt down to welcome the return of the eldest prince.

A bloody and heroic battle, 10,000 tigers and 10,000 janissaline guards, fought outside the city for half an hour.

Chen Lianghai, as one of the few masters of the Tiangang list in Da Nei, can rank tenth on the Tiangang list, and has the same strength as Hu Su.

At that time, if it weren't for the Bai Yujing disciples sent by Yu Su, the outcome of this war would be difficult to predict.

It can only be said that it is a pyrrhic victory, when Li Jianye entered the south gate, only 100 of the 10,000 Praetorian Guards behind him could still walk into the city gate with him.

Hu Su was blind in one eye, the bowstring of the star-striking Xuantie bow was broken in two, the armor of the leader of the Praetorian Guard on his body was torn, and most of the heart goggles collapsed.

The Praetorian Guards behind Hu Su were also in broken armor, and there were only a few who could stand, and they all supported each other to move forward.

Only Li Jianye's five-clawed dragon robe was not stained with blood, when he stepped into the city gate, his face was expressionless, his eyes were gray, although his body was alive, his heart was dead, just because of the body of the crown princess in his arms.

Li Guangling followed behind his father with red eyes, holding his infant brother in his arms.

The young Li Muyun was frightened during the war, and his body was hot all the time, and he cried loudly, and the cry resounded through the south gate, even overpowering the greeting shouts of the hundred officials.

After reading the letter, Zhong Ming folded the letter and threw it into the stove next to him, and he sighed sadly.

Meng Teng next to him had already taken the mung bean soup, and after drinking a big bowl before he hiccuped happily and wiped his mouth, Meng Teng said: "The news was just delivered, it is absolutely accurate, Li Jianye can walk into Luoyang, your efforts are not in vain, what are you sighing about." ”

Zhong Ming smiled bitterly, he walked outside the door, stood in the courtyard, and looked at the city in the northwest, although he couldn't see it, he could feel that Li Jianye lost very badly in the first battle.

Dead beloved wife, broken beloved general, is such a victory the victory Li Jianye wants?

"I sigh, Li Jianye's heart is dead, even if he can sit on the throne, he is just a puppet who rules the world. ”

Looking into the distance, Zhong Ming regretted forcing Li Jianye to return to Luoyang, hoping that life in the mud village was the life Li Jianye wanted.

Meng Teng and Liang Yu both looked at Zhong Ming in puzzlement, they still couldn't understand how difficult the trade-off between power and family was, no matter which side they chose, it was Li Jianye who lost.

Zhang Nianchen, who was the orphan of the former Chen, seemed to understand whether he understood or not, he frowned slightly, feeling a little sorry for Li Jianye and Zhong Ming, but he was stupid, and he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.

The old Taoist priest who had experienced the heat and coldness of the world and lived for a hundred years also sighed: "People's lives are destined by heaven."

He Li Jianye was born in the emperor's family, which is a fate that he can't escape in his life. ”

Zhong Ming kept looking into the distance, his eyes changed, and he muttered: "Carpenter Li, I wish you good in Luoyang." ”

......

Southern Han Dynasty, a plaque "Penglai Immortal Mansion" in the courtyard.

In the back garden full of flowers, Li Wangye sat cross-legged in the gazebo, with a sandalwood guqin in front of him.

His fingers flicked, and the melodious music came to an abrupt end.

Zheng –

Li Wangye plucked a string with too much force, and he only felt his heart beating wildly and he was upset.

Feng Mufei, who was squatting in front of the flower garden to pick flowers, looked back at the gazebo, and asked, "Li Wangye, why don't you play?"

Holding his stabbing chest, Li Wangye said in pain: "I seem to be sick and very uncomfortable." ”

Feng Ning, who was sitting cross-legged and listening to the music, also slowly opened his eyes, frowning slightly, Feng Ning reached out and touched the top of Li Wangye's head, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he didn't speak for a while.

Feng Mufei ran into the pavilion with flowers in his hand, and when he saw Li Wangye, he exclaimed, "Li Wangye, why are you crying again?"

Li Wangye was stunned, he touched his cheek, and at some point there were two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Then, Li Wangye felt a cool energy coming from the top of his head, and he fell asleep for a while.

At this time, Feng Ning stood up, looked in the direction of Xintang and said, "Feifei, don't bully Wangye anymore in the past two days." ”

"How have I ever bullied him......"

Feng Mufei retorted with a small mouth, then walked up to Li Wangye and asked worriedly, "Daddy, what's wrong with him?"

"When a loved one dies, the heartache is unbearable, and it will be fine in two days. ”

Feng Ning said indifferently, then stroked his sleeves, hugged Li Wangye to the bench, let him lie down, and put the wide robe on Li Wangye before sitting cross-legged.

Feng Ning showed a rare kind face on his face, he touched the sleeping Li Wangye and said: "You have a good mother, I will leave you a trace of concern when I die, and the blessing of this loving mother will ensure that you go further on the road to immortality." ”

Faintly, a warm light lit up on Li Wangye's forehead.

......

Luoyang City, the inner courtyard of the palace, in front of the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

The setting sun stretched Li Jianye's shadow, and he walked alone on the palace avenue, holding a long sword in his hand, and the crown prince's dragon robe on his body was stained with blood.

Behind him, followed by more than a thousand tiger soldiers, they wanted to stop him from entering the hall, but no one could stop him.

Hu Su's blind eye was bandaged with cloth at will, and he held a spear in each of his left and right hands, standing in front of the palace gate to block those tiger army.

Behind Hu Su, there were generals in armor and civil officials in court uniforms, all of whom took up arms.

Li Guangling hugged his infant brother and looked at everything coldly, and he was also stained with a lot of blood.

Outside the palace gate, the corpses of the Tiger Ben Army were all over the ground, and blood stained the palace avenue.

Breaking through the south gate, walking through the Vermilion Bird Avenue, entering the Xuanwu Gate, and killing the Qiankun Palace, Li Shicheng, the king of Qin, did not show up, and only those generals, the tiger and the soldiers, after all, could not stop Li Jianye's progress.

Finally, Li Jianye walked outside the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, which is heavily guarded on weekdays, is very deserted today, and there is only an old eunuch standing outside the palace gate.

If the old eunuch is the age of Jiazi, he has no white face, his small eyes are narrowed into a line, and he looks lazy like an old cat.

Seeing Li Jianye walking to the front of the palace, the old eunuch tried to open his little eyes, bowed his head and bowed: "The old slave welcomes the prince back to the palace." ”

Li Jianye threw the sword in his hand in front of the old eunuch, and the iron sword fell to the ground, making a crisp sonorous sound.

Li Jianye said indifferently: "Inspector Huang, why be polite to me, you get up and talk." ”

The old eunuch hurriedly got up, lifted the sleeves of his robe, wiped the blood on Li Jianye's hands, and was still muttering in his mouth: "Oh, how dare those people who killed a thousand knives use their swords against you, wait for the old slave to free up his hand and screw off the heads of those thieves for you!"

Hearing this, Li Jianye's face softened slightly, this old eunuch's name is Huang Yang, who has served the Li family for three generations, older than Li Yuan, and Li Jianye was brought up by him, like a family member.

On the other hand, the King of Qin, who fought with his father since he was a child, did not have such a good relationship with Huang Yang.

Thinking of this, Li Jianye's heart was even warmer, he let the old eunuch wipe his hands clean, Huang Yang wiped his tears, and muttered in his mouth: "Prince, these two years have been bitter for you! It's all because the old slave is useless, you can't unscrew the head of the thief Qin Xiong and share your worries!"

Li Jianye sighed, he knew that it was true that the old eunuch felt sorry for himself, but it was the first thing to listen to his father's orders, and his father didn't speak, even if he had divine skills, how could he take off Qin Xiong's head?

Huang Yang, the first master of the imperial court, is a killing blade for his father, and for himself, he is just an old elder.

Li Jianye listened to the old eunuch's chatter, and only after he finished saying what he missed himself, did he ask: "Inspector Huang, can my father be in the palace?"

Huang Yang hurriedly replied: "Prince, the king has been waiting in the palace for a long time, just waiting for you to come back, you don't know, the king has been thinking about you a lot in the past two years, and I am worried that something will happen to you......"

Probably because he was old, the old eunuch was very chattering, and he realized that he was too nagging after a while, so he quickly bowed down and got out of the way: "Prince, hurry up and enter the palace!"

Nodding, Li Jianye took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and pushed the door in.

Li Jianye stepped into the hall with his front foot, and the old eunuch Huang Yang wiped away his tears with his hind feet, and slowly closed the door of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

Then Huang Yang looked down at the iron sword, his old face was distorted, he stretched out his hand and sucked it, and the red energy gushed out from his hand, crumpling the iron sword into a ball.

Then the old eunuch clicked on his toes and flew to the high wall, he squinted his eyes and suddenly opened, staring at the group of tiger soldiers outside the palace gate, and said sharply: "Prince, the old slave will help you unscrew the heads of this group of thieves!"

I saw the figure of the old eunuch rushing down from the high wall, if Feihong rose and fell on the avenue outside the palace, every time he passed, more than a dozen heads would fall.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Li Jianye stood behind the door, looked at the old man sitting on the dragon chair, and said loudly: "Father, the son of Jianye is not filial, and he can only say goodbye to his father after two years!"

Although he said that he said goodbye, Li Jianye did not bow or kneel, and stood proudly.

Li Yuan on the dragon chair was already black-haired and white-haired, he opened his eyes slightly, and said softly: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, a young man stood next to the dragon chair, and that person looked seven points similar to Li Jianye, but he was a little more angry than Li Jianye, and this person was Li Shicheng.

He smiled and said, "Big brother, welcome home, if you don't come back, I thought you would die outside!"

Li Jianye laughed angrily: "Second brother, you are forgetful, the fortune teller in my childhood can say, I live longer than you, you have to die in front of me." ”

A war that requires the blood and tears of 10,000 people to have a result has officially begun from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
