The appearance and departure of He Mingchi greatly impacted Li Huanyuan's sanity. When he heard the news again, his face became paler and his eyes showed a look of horror.

"Why did you come back so quickly?" he said with a slightly trembling voice.

Li Yu had no expression on his face and slowly sat down.

If it was a few days ago, she would definitely not have the same reaction after hearing the news. When the Tang army in Helan City returned, her tampering with the imperial edict must have been exposed. She had prepared many means for this in advance. However, as the Xiling Temple called on the world to attack

Tang, those methods have lost the possibility of success.

The eunuch whispered: "Eunuch Chen, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is in the south of Wuzhou. He should have received the news in advance. He is rushing there at this time. He should be able to stop him."

Li Yu was silent for a long time, and then asked tiredly: "How many people are accompanying the Zhenbei Army?"

The eunuch replied in a low voice: "It was reported that there were five hundred fine cavalry."

There were only a few people accompanying her, which made Li Yu unable to judge clearly what General Xu Chi was thinking. A possibility suddenly occurred to her and she asked: "...Who else is there?"

The eunuch hesitated a little and said, "I heard that Mr. Thirteenth of the academy is also in the team."

Hearing this name, Li Yu frowned slightly, but the panic in Li Hunyuan's eyes became more intense. He had previously said that the academy was useless after the master died, but in fact, as a Tang Dynasty person, especially as a prince

How could he not know the significance of the academy to the Tang Dynasty? How could he not be afraid?

"Sister Huang, we must do something."

He looked at Li Yu and said nervously: "Ning Que has made his attitude clear. The academy will definitely support that woman. At this time, we have no other choice but to do what He Mingchi said."

Who can resist the academy? Looking at it, only Haotian Dao Sect can do it.

Li Yu slowly shook his head and said, "I don't want to hear you say such things again."

Li Hunyuan swallowed, but still did not give up his efforts to persuade her, and said urgently: "Surrender does not mean the demise of the Tang Dynasty. The Taoist sect needs someone to rule the world for them. Collecting resources and destroying the Tang State will do them no good. Compared with

Aren’t we the barbarians of the Golden Tent Royal Court who are more suitable?”

The more he spoke, the more he felt it made sense. He stood up excitedly, waved his arms and said: "Everyone who opposes us has been killed by He Mingchi. Tomorrow, at the meeting, they will all be blamed on Nanmenguan. Sister, please give in again.

If the ministers who are loyal to you stand up and support us in reaching a peace agreement with the Xiling Temple, then the whole matter can be solved."

"How to reach a peace agreement? Cut off the land and pay compensation, dissolve the south gate of Haotian Road, and seal the hospital? Or should we, brothers and sisters, kowtow on Taoshan Mountain and pray for Haotian's forgiveness?"

Li Yu looked at him with a smile and said: "You said that our Tang Dynasty is more suitable than the barbarians of the Golden Tent Royal Court... What is more suitable for us? More suitable to be a dog of the Taoist sect?"

What does it mean to be heartbroken? This is her mood at this time. Her right hand trembled slightly. But she did not slap Li Hunyuan on the face like before, because she found that it was meaningless.

"Over the years, because of my mother, I always felt that you were too pitiful, so I spoiled you, loved you, and pitied you. I didn't expect that I would end up spoiling you like you are now."

Li Yu stood up and prepared to leave the palace.

Li Hunyuan still held her hand and was led down the couch.

He looked at Li Yu's back and shouted in horror: "Sister Huang, do you want to kill me?"

Li Yu smiled miserably and said: "You are my biological brother. I promised my mother that I would take good care of you, so how could I kill you? Now I finally understand the meaning of He Mingchi's words... No matter how shameless you are, Your Majesty, as long as you

Live for one day. I have to protect you for one day, and I can’t let that woman hurt you. The Tang Dynasty, which is in the midst of the storm, will still fall into civil strife because of my selfishness. How can the Xiling Temple be unhappy to see all this?"

…

…

The world is in chaos. The Tang State is in danger because the Master and His Majesty the Emperor have left one after another. No one would think that the Tang State can still be as powerful as before, but the performance of the Tang State in this war is even more impressive than people imagined.

People were disappointed, especially the academy in the south of Chang'an City.

The academy is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and the guardian of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Master has left, there are still many powerful and strategic figures in the academy, which makes many invaders confused and makes all Tang people feel disappointed and angry.

, the academy has remained silent since the beginning of the war.

After the imperial edict calling on the world to attack the Tang Dynasty spread throughout the world, the academy had been closed. To be more precise, since the moment the Master ascended to heaven, the academy's door had never been opened again.

There is no main entrance to the academy, only a side entrance.

The side door of the academy leads directly to the back mountain, and that is the real door.

The newly recruited students in the front courtyard were dismissed on the spot. They took the letters from the professors of the academy and left under the stone square with their luggage. They went to Chang'an City and entered the various government offices of the imperial court to help with work.

As for the teachers in the academy, they received a letter from the back mountain. The letter said calmly that those who are willing to stay in the academy can stay, and those who want to leave can leave.

Cao Zhifeng, associate professor of etiquette, was from Yan, and he chose to leave. Two teachers of mathematics came from the Southern Jin Dynasty, but insisted on staying. According to statistics, 70% of the teachers from foreign countries ended up staying in the academy.

In their words, we are from the Southern Jin Dynasty, we are from Yuelun, we are from the Song Dynasty, and we are from Xiling. None of us are from the Tang Dynasty, but we are from the academy.

After that, there was still no movement in the academy, and no letters continued to be sent from the back mountain. Some professors went to unknown places, and the rest of the teachers had to stay in the front yard behind the closed door to do their own learning.

Even if the world is going to end tomorrow, what needs to be done will still have to be done.

One day in late autumn, the city of Chang'an gradually calmed down from the chaos, but it was not completely calm yet. The Yulin Army rode on war horses and watched the movements on the streets with vigilance. The Chang'an government officials were running around and busy, and the Yulong Gang's gang members were walking behind the street.

They searched for the people they wanted to find in the narrow alleys and brothels.

In accordance with the decree, the city gate department closed the city gate and strictly prohibited any military or civilian entry or exit except for the convoys delivering food from the states near Beijing. Chang'an City thus became an isolated city, and it could no longer care about anything outside the city.

The academy is in the south of Chang'an City, naturally outside the city.

When Chang'an City became an isolated city, the academy also entered an isolated and helpless situation.

A giant chariot appeared in the meadow outside the academy gate.

Many layers of the tens of thousands of curtains have been torn. There are many gaps on the railings carved from gold and jade, and there are also many black stains of old blood, but they still look solemn and solemn.

Of the sixty-four powerful Xiling Divine Guards beside the giant chariot, there are now only a dozen left, and the rest have died in that shocking battle under the night rain on Mount Xiao.

Behind the thousands of layers of gauze on the chariot, there is a tall figure.

The tall figure's left hand has been broken off, but it still shines brightly.

They even want to suppress all the glory of the academy.

The headmaster of Xiling Temple came to the academy.

In the rain at night in Xiaoshan, he killed Xu Shi, the general of the Tang Dynasty, and sacrificed dozens of Xiling divine guards for this. He also paid a heavy price with his left hand.

But at this time, he was still so powerful, even more powerful than before.

Xu Shi died in his hands. This is the reason.

…

…

More than ten Xiling Divine Guards carried the giant chariot to the top of the meadow.

Because the number of people has become much smaller, these Xiling Divine Guards seem to be a little strenuous and their speed is very slow.

But the slower it goes, the greater the pressure in front of the academy's stone square.

The autumn wind seemed to be squeezed and started to cry.

There is no door to the academy, so the giant chariot did not break through the door.

There is a stone square in the academy, where huge chariots are kept, and the stone square is broken into countless pieces.

Hearing the loud noise, the teachers in the front yard put down their pens and papers and hurried out of the room.

Then they saw the huge chariot.

Although they were teaching in the front yard, they were all knowledgeable people. They had read countless books and scriptures, and someone immediately recognized who the tall figure in the giant chariot was!

A burst of shocked shouts rang out from the front yard of the academy.

All the teachers had a look of horror on their faces.

The headmaster of Xiling Temple actually came to the south of Chang'an City and came to the academy!

Has the Tang Kingdom been destroyed?

…

…

The headmaster looked through the broken gauze, his thunderous gaze slowly passing over the faces of these teachers. There was no emotion on his face, and he asked: "Where is Huang He?"

No one answered him because Professor Huang He disappeared without a trace many days ago.

The headmaster's voice once again sounded like thunder on the front lawn of the academy.

"Where is Mu Chu?"

Still no one answered.

The headmaster then asked for the names of several professors.

Those people are not in the academy.

The headmaster did not see any trace of the Tang army and said: "The Academy has protected the Tang Kingdom for thousands of years. Now it has been forgotten by Chang'an City. It is really sad."

The giant chariot was lifted up again and walked towards the back of the academy.

These ordinary academy teachings are not in the eyes of Taoism.

The headmaster knows very well where the real academy is.
