In front of the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, Duan Zhixuan waited motionless for two hours. The heavy snow in the sky covered his head and shoulders with a thick layer of ice and snow.

If you weren’t paying attention, you might have thought it was a snowman!

The soldiers guarding the city gate had persuaded him several times to take shelter from the wind and snow under the city gate.

But Duan Zhixuan, who wanted to meet His Majesty Li Er, could not listen.

Last time, his son Duan Guan had an arm chopped off by Yang Fan's club.

Now his heir Duan Zan has had another leg chopped off.

If Duan Zhixuan's incident made Duan Zhixuan heartbroken, then Duan Zan's destruction now is like a knife in his heart.

If he doesn't regain his position today, then the Baoguo Duke's Mansion will become a being that everyone can bully.

Now Duan Zhixuan really regrets why he has to fight against Yang Fan's stick.

Now one son has been exiled three thousand miles away, and the other son has become disabled.

Duan Zhixuan no longer has any hope. His only purpose now is to let His Majesty Li Er deliver justice to him.

No matter how cold the weather was, it couldn't be more heartbreaking than the destruction of his family heritage.

He had made up his mind today that even if he lost his life and face, he would make Yang Fan pay the due price.

The guard guarding the gate was about to persuade him again, when he saw a group of people walking out of Chengtian Gate.

The leader was suddenly none other than Li Junxian, the leader of the Hundred Cavalry, the spy chief, followed by several guards and chamberlains.

The captain of the guard team was overjoyed and quickly took a few steps forward to softly report Duan Zhixuan's situation.

If Duan Zhixuan really has good intentions, it will be hard for these little shrimps to explain him.

Li Junxian nodded clearly, his coffin-like face not changing at all.

Looking up, Li Junxian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Duan Zhixuan with a pale and lonely face.

Never thought that General Duan, who was so majestic in the past, would be so helpless.

If Duan Zhixuan had followed His Majesty's footsteps, no matter how bad his life was, he would not have ended up like this.

But this general has been an official for many years, but he cannot see that all his honors and status were given to him by His Majesty.

Arriving in front of Duan Zhixuan, Li Junxian said loudly: "Your Majesty has issued an order to allow Duke Bao to enter the palace to see him."

"Thank you, General!" Duan Zhixuan patted the snow on his body and saluted with his hands.

Immediately, he looked at the spy leader with an uncertain expression.

The reason why his son Duan Guan was exiled three thousand miles was due to Li Junxian's contribution.

If Duan Zhixuan is still the Zuowei General, this leader of the Hundred Cavalry is several levels below him.

Nowadays, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Li Junxian sighed slightly, a phoenix with no hair is really worse than a chicken!

Who knows that this guy is not very discerning and wants to cause trouble for Yang Fan!

Don’t you see that those who want to cause trouble for Yang Fan will only end up humiliating themselves?

Poor people must be hateful!

So with a wave of his hand, he asked the chamberlain to lead Duan Zhixuan into the palace.

Li Junxian was about to turn around and follow, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a group of people in the distance galloping through the wind and snow.

Take a closer look, who is it if it's not Yang Fan?

Li Junxian gave a wry smile. Needless to say, he knew that this brother came to see His Majesty, probably because of today's conflict.

Coming here in the limelight, doesn't this guy know that His Majesty is sulking? It's simply a shame.

However, after Li Junxian whispered a few words to the guards, he stopped.

As the chamberlain led Duan Zhixuan away, Yang Fan also arrived in front of Chengtian Gate.

Seeing Li Junxian already standing at the city gate, Yang Fan couldn't help but asked strangely: "Brother, why are you here guarding the city gate today?"

"Aren't we waiting for you, brother? Are you here to see His Majesty?" Li Junxian said with a smile, but he didn't expect that Yang Fan was still in the mood to joke.

A group of soldiers guarding the city gate burst out laughing when they saw Li Junxian. They were suddenly surprised?

No matter when and where, Li Junxian, the leader of the Hundred Cavalry, was always cold and majestic, always wearing a stinking coffin face.

Whether he is dealing with His Majesty the Emperor or all the civil and military officials, he is always serious about his words and smiles. When have you ever laughed like this?

Perhaps only this loyal and righteous man whose reputation spread all over the world can make him laugh!

The captain just now was a very discerning person. He took two steps forward and said with a smile: "General Li, Marquis Zhongyi, it will take some time to wait for your majesty's order. It's freezing here, so why not go to the side first?"

Would you like to take a short rest?"

Looking at the flying snow in the sky and feeling the whistling north, Yang Fan tightened his collar.

The weather is really not suitable for staying outside for too long. There is a resting place for the defenders next to each city gate.

Although it is simple, it is still better than standing in the open space and drinking from the northwest wind.

This team leader is very good at being a good person!

Yang Fan gave this guy a thumbs up in his heart. Of course, he couldn't just praise him verbally. He immediately took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and threw them to the captain: "Brothers, you have worked hard, take it to drink!"

The captain hurriedly took the broken silver and showed even more attentiveness: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward. Please come over here."

But my heart felt happy.

It is said that this Marquis is the most bastard dandy in Chang'an City. He only knows how to beat people violently. He is just bullshitting!

The reason why there is such behavior is that it is for those high-ranking officials and nobles.

The Zhongyi Marquis treated soldiers like them, but he had never seen them use their power to bully others.

He never shows off his abilities in front of ant-like soldiers like us.

Now we are still brothers with them. Which Lord can do that?

The captain's heart was filled with beauty.

Just a few words made the soldiers' eyes dazzle, and Li Junxian was in a state of admiration.

How many lords in Chang'an are so popular among the soldiers?

Yang Fan asked doubtfully as he walked: "Brother Li, does he have the ability to predict the future? How did you know I was coming today?"

Looking at Duan Zhixuan's back, Li Junxian pursed his lips and said, "No! The person who sued you has just entered."

Looking up into the distance, he could still see a familiar figure in the distance, and Yang Fan suddenly realized: "Oh, I had known that I would not eat, but I didn't expect that old guy to catch me one step ahead."

Li Junxian was really speechless. This brother was really big-hearted. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you still have the heart to eat? Oh, forget it..."

The two walked to the duty room. At this time, the captain asked someone to bring tea cups to Yang Fan and the others, and then said: "The Marquis and the general will take a rest for a while. I will go to collect the duty first. If there is any news from the palace, I will come over immediately to convey it.

, you can tell others not to come close and not to disturb you, Mr. Marquis."

Yang Fan thanked him with a smile.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The scalding hot tea poured in and drove away most of the coldness on his body.

Although it was just inferior fried tea, it still made Yang Fan drink it with relish. After all, it was also produced by Junyangfang, and it was a product that could be used with confidence.

Li Junxian raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Fan, who was drinking tea from a tea cup, feeling even more appreciative.

He is unfazed by the overwhelming weight of Mount Tai. This brother is indeed extraordinary and his character is too strong. He is worthy of His Majesty's words about his talents as a prime minister and assistant.

Although Duan Zhixuan was removed from the post of General Zuowei, Duan Zhixuan was a general who emerged from the flames of war after all. Anyone who dares to despise this tiger with its teeth pulled out will surely learn a painful lesson.

Of course Li Junxian would not think that Yang Fan did not know the terror of Duke Duan Zhixuan, but he only thought that Yang Fan was well-informed.

This brother is really shocking!

Previously, he went to conquer Tibet and used a few thousand soldiers to destroy the 100,000 Tibetan army. No matter the process or the result, it was simply unbelievable!

Others may not know the power of the Tubo Wolf Cavalry, but Li Junxian, who collects intelligence, knows it very well!

Those Tubo cavalry are warriors selected from thousands of people. As the personal soldiers of Tubo Zampu, they are the most powerful unit among the Tubo cavalry!

To be defeated so completely, Yang Fan is worthy of being a warrior who has opened up new territories.

What shocked Li Junxian even more was that this brother easily solved the assassination case that left them with no clue about Baiqi.

I really don’t know what Yang Fan is not good at!

In shock, Li Junxian deeply regretted the decision His Majesty Li Er had just made.

If Yang Fan is allowed to develop in the army, he will definitely become a more dazzling general than Li Jing.

Taking a gentle sip of tea, Li Junxian breathed out slowly: "Brother, do you know the prime minister, Duke Yingying, Duke Wei, and Duke Zhao have been summoned to the palace by His Majesty first?"

Yang Fan felt quite flattered.

Li Ji has always been a person who is not very friendly and is only responsible to His Majesty Li Er. This kind of disclosure of the whereabouts of important officials in the imperial court is a big risk.

Based on my relationship with Li Junxian, there is absolutely no need for Li Junxian to adopt such an attitude.
