The rumors reached Yujing, and Li Xuan didn't know about it at the time.

Because he was already anxious at this time.

The prince died, and the news could not be hidden. Within a few days, it had spread throughout the army. As soon as the crown prince died, the army was in turmoil, and the Yellow Peril army began to carry out small-scale sneak attacks.

Although Li Xuanying coped with it easily, after all, the morale of the army had been lost, and it was not easy to maintain a stalemate.

But at this time, Yujing sent three holy decrees one after another.

First, Li Xuan was ordered to inform the cause of the prince's death and quickly transport the prince's coffin back to Yujing.

Second, immediately take Bazhou, pacify the Yellow Peril, and avenge the crown prince.

The third will, but it was very ambiguous, and ordered Tong Qi to be the prison army.

Who is Tong Qi?

This man was a eunuch. At this time, the imperial court actually sent a eunuch to serve as a supervisor, which made Li Xuanying very dissatisfied.

And this eunuch arrived in the army and saw Li Xuanying, but he was also very well-behaved, and he didn't ask much about military affairs, and made a pair of jiashi to cooperate with Li Xuanying.

Li Xuan was still a little wary of him at the time, but later the war became tense, and he gradually neglected this person.

The imperial army came from a long distance, the supply line gradually tightened, and it was slow to take Bazhou City, and a stalemate gradually formed. And Yujing's side is also calm on the surface, but secretly there are torrents.

On this day, Tong Qi suddenly came to the Shuai camp and asked Li Xuanying: "Lord Wang, it's just a small Bazhou city, which can be broken at any time, and now that the time for the imperial court is approaching, why don't you break the city yet?"

Li Xuanying frowned and said: "You were also in the army a few days ago, don't you know? It's not that the commander is unwilling to break the city, but that Bazhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he has been forcibly attacked, and there have been countless casualties, which is a vain sacrifice. Second, there are cultivators in this city, and there is a great storm. I have sent a mage to the court, but there has been no response. ”

Tong Qi shook his head when he heard this, and asked, "Lord Wang, I just want to ask, if it is a strong attack, will it be able to break the city?"

Li Xuan responded: "Yes." But the casualties must be heavy! These are the elite of the imperial court, and if they are lost here, the imperial court will be greatly damaged, and it will no longer be able to restrain the princes of the world. ”

Tong Qi said. After being silent, he took his leave and left.

Li Xuan didn't care about it at the time, and continued to wait for the opportunity.

It's winter. Supplies are running tight on both sides. After all, Li Xuanying still has the land of six states behind him, and he can transport baggage and fight a war of attrition, but it is a strategy with the least casualties and the greatest chance of victory.

Li Xuan should be able to wait, but the DPRK and China can't wait.

Li Xuanying was out with troops and did not go deeper. Six holy decrees came from the imperial court in a row. ordered him to fight quickly, but he refused on the grounds that "forcibly attacking the city will inevitably cause heavy casualties and damage to the elite".

The DPRK and China are dissatisfied with it. It's getting deeper and deeper, and it's time to discuss whether to change the commander in the battle. Tong Qi's secret performance returns to the dynasty.

Tong Qi's recital is very interesting, and there is no accusation against Li Xuanying in and out of the words. But the deep meaning is to imply that Li Xuanying seems to have no intention of fighting with the Yellow Peril, big and small. If you can avoid it, you can avoid it. It seems to have ulterior motives!

What is the court most afraid of now?

It's an ulterior motive!

Now that the prince is dead, the death is unknown, and there have been rumors that Li Xuanying had an affair with the Yellow Peril and killed the prince.

Now that Tong Qi's recital has been returned, it is equivalent to confirming this rumor.

After the ministers of the court and the central government discussed, if they were not restricted, when Li Xuan should return to the court with troops, he was afraid that no one would be able to control him.

The ministers argued for a long time, and Prime Minister Zhang Ling said: "This matter is a state affair and a family affair. Everyone has to explain the death of the prince, but we can't decide how to do it, after all, we still have to ask Bixia what he means. ”

The ministers were good, and the slaughter went to the harem to face the saint on the next day.

At that time, the Son of Heaven was already sick in bed, and it seemed that time was short.

After listening to the prime minister's proclamation, he only asked one sentence: "After a hundred years, can the fourth child be able to revitalize the world of my Li family?"

Zhang Ling replied cautiously: "This is Bixia's family matter. The old minister didn't dare to say more. But as far as state affairs are concerned. The king of the country, the king of the country, the brave and diligent, the territory of the territory, can open the peace. I look at King Luling, and I have the appearance of Taizu. ”

Zhang Ling's evaluation seems to hold Li Xuanying very high, which is very similar to the founding ancestor. But in fact, this pushed Li Xuanying to death.

Now the Li family is in the world, and the wind and rain are shaking. The princes of all walks of life are already in turmoil. The imperial court can no longer withstand the toss.

Now what the imperial court needs is a king who keeps it, slowly plotting it, and slowly gathering the heart of the world, rather than a strong king, who can sweep in all directions with the momentum of thunder.

Because today's imperial court is already walking on thin ice, one carelessness is a catastrophe.

After listening to the Prime Minister's words, the Son of Heaven closed his eyes for a long time and sighed: "I have made up my mind, you can go." ”

The next day, a holy decree gold medal, left Yujing.

Li Xuanying received the holy decree, his expression was a little incredulous, and he was also a little lonely.

There are not many high-sounding clichés on this holy decree, only two words: "Remove the armor!"

The general unloads his armor.

The meaning is clear.

Li Xuanying let out a long sigh, and then summoned his subordinates to explain the will of the imperial court.

At that time, everyone was shocked and persuaded: "Lord, you must not go back! Now the intention of the imperial court is clearly to make the prince a scapegoat." When the prince dies, someone must give an explanation to the world. This person's weight can't be light, and now it's calculated, only the prince is suitable. ”

One of the advisors sighed, "Whoever to give an account of is secondary." In my guess, after this experience, it was a big blow to the Son of Heaven. Now it is time to make a choice as to who the Holy Throne belongs. Judging from this will, the prince is in danger!"

How did Li Xuanying not know? Having said that, was he willing to take off his armor and go back like this?

If he is given some more time, when there is no more supply in Bazhou City, he can take Bazhou City without blood, and put down the Yellow Peril in one fell swoop. At that time, with the momentum of triumph, the name of the world will return to the heart, and it will be able to win the supreme.

But even the thought of the Son of Heaven knocked him out of the sky to the dust, and after years of hard work, he was buried, and there was no day to turn over.

Everyone persuaded Li Xuanying that now that the matter has come to this, it is better to lead the army to set up another mountain.

Li Xuanying let out a long sigh and said, "My Li family's world is declining because of the princes. Now I have a self-respecting army, and I will become a prince all the way, and those rebellious ministers and thieves. What's the difference? There is no need to mention it. ”

Half a month later, Li Xuan should take off his armor and return to the court.

A month later, Li Xuanying was given the title of King of Luling, demoted to a commoner, expelled from Yujing, and was not allowed to enter Beijing for the rest of his life.

Four months later, the Son of Heaven died, and the Sixth Prince ascended the throne. Before that, among the princes, he was unknown. but ascended to the supreme position.

But he was a short-lived emperor, and after only eight years of reign, he died of a serious illness.

In the past eight years, Li Xuanying has wandered in the world. Although he eliminated the king's title, he did not eliminate the fiefdom, and many old tribes followed.

Li Xuanying has no other thoughts in this life, only one thought, to calm the yellow peril and complete the unfinished business before.

But now he is only a deposed king. There is no longer the prestige of raising the flag and standing on the ground on that day, and the heroes of the world gathered. Second, when he was the king of Luling in his early years, he offended many people. Now the world is turning. But there are still a lot of people who are chasing and killing. has been displaced for more than ten years, and has been defeated many times, and has been defeated repeatedly. Repeated defeats and battles.

This time, Liu Heizhi is a former opponent.

And last year, Li Xuanying passed by Fucheng and had two places to go. One is to go west, to find Dongyang Gong behind Liu Heizhi for help, and temporarily find a place to live.

The second place to go is to the east, out of the pass, where he had saved a foreign chief in the past. He once said that if there is trouble in the future and there is no way out, you can go there to find refuge.

Li Xuanying had some friendship with Dongyang Gong in the past, but because of some things, he had fallen out and turned against him. But Li Xuanying had to beg him for some reason.

But when he went to see Dongyang Gong, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out alive. Therefore, Li Xuan should have asked for a word from his master Xuan when he was hesitating and hesitating, and he also wanted peace of mind.

Shi Zixuan said that day that he would go west, and he would definitely not come true, but if he turned into an auspicious person, he would be safe and sound.

Li Xuan listened to Shi Zixuan's words, thought for a while, and decided to go to the tiger's den. Seeing Dongyang Gong, the two really didn't talk for more than half a sentence, and the conversation collapsed.

Dongyang Gong also had murderous intentions towards him, but he was unwilling to do it himself, so he only put him under house arrest.

Trapping a tiger in a cage and waiting to die is more painful than killing it with a knife.

Li Xuan should realize that he is desperate, but who knows that it is a bright future.

In this Dongyang Mansion, there happened to be a steward who had received great favor from him in the past. Seeing that the benefactor was in trouble, he naturally sacrificed himself to save him.

After clever arrangement, Li Xuanying took two entourages and fled overnight. escaped all the way to the pursuit, until now he was rescued by Shi Zixuan.

Now that he has really responded to Shi Zixuan's words, although his wishes may not come true, he can keep him safe.

Shi Zixuan said: "It's not because of me, but because you shouldn't die." By the way, I think that guerrilla general is afraid that he will not let you go so easily, what are you going to do?"

Li Xuanying smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't take my life, he won't give up the pursuit." Dao Chief, I'm leaving. If Xuan Ying is lucky, he shouldn't die, and he will report on Chang En again in the future. ”

He didn't want to drag down Shi Zixuan, so he said goodbye and wanted to leave.

"Wait. ”

Shi Zixuan called him back.

Li Xuanying said, "Is there anything else going on with the Dao Chief?"

Shi Zixuan asked, "Do you have a place to go now?"

Li Xuanying's eyes showed a blank look for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, and said: "Shenzhou is so big that there is no place for it. ”

Shi Zixuan said: "That's nowhere to go?"

Li Xuanying nodded a little embarrassed.

Shi Zixuan said: "In this case, it is better to walk with the poor road." You can break through my line of Tibet, it is also karma, as the so-called good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and the poor road will protect you again. ”

"This ......"

Li Xuanying hesitated a little: "Dao Chief, I am a degraded person, and I will not be allowed to enter Yujing for the rest of my life, and I will not be able to go." ”

Shi Zixuan waved his hand and said, "It was the King of Luling who was demoted in the past. For example, there was still a King of Luling today? Poor Dao only knew one Li Xuanying. ”

Shi Zixuan said casually, so that Li Xuanying was like being struck by lightning, and all the fog in his brain was split!

"King of Luling, King of Luling...... Yes, the King of Luling has long since died, where is there any King of Luling? Now there is only one Li Xuanying! Since he has fallen anywhere, he will stand up there!"

Li Xuanying muttered to himself.

At this time, Di Ting suddenly asked, "Do you know this person? This person is not ordinary, I think he has the appearance of the supreme." (To be continued......)

PS: Ahem...... For some reason, today is still one chapter, and I owe two chapters...... Will definitely make it up!
