Seeing the appearance of the soldiers following him, Li Jing seemed to have fallen into deep thought.
This old incident came to mind in my mind.
While he was lost in memories, these things were not shady, so he just followed the trend and talked with everyone.
Back then, his father was guarding one side, and he himself was also a handsome young man.
I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and from time to time in the city, I also dreamed of becoming a great hero.
Therefore, in the city, gangsters and evildoers were eradicated from time to time.
One day, I met a thief who wanted to steal a girl's purse. I stepped forward to stop him, but was misunderstood by the girl.
The girl looked like a hibiscus, but she didn't listen to her explanation at all and actually started fighting with herself.
I originally thought she was a girl, but I didn't expect her abilities to be as good as mine.
It was then that she realized that there really was someone in this world who could conquer a country, and his abilities were so high.
After a fight between the two sides, the city guards finally separated the two of them.
I explained to her again at that time, but the girl said that she had known for a long time that a thief wanted to steal her money.
I just wanted to solve it myself and have a duel with him, just to see his martial arts.
And when he finished giving his name, he already knew his identity.
Then she also revealed her identity, she was Princess Yicheng.
At that time, the two parties met for the first time and became friends without knowing each other.
Later, I went to the Imperial City and saw her there again.
But when I saw her that time, her whole person was no longer as innocent as before, and instead she was a little depressed.
After much inquiring, I found out that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty wanted her to go to the Turks for marriage.
Princess Yicheng has always been a person who serves the world and the people.
In fact, she could only refuse at that time, and there was no need to go to the Turks.
But the Turks in the north were eyeing them, and for the sake of their own country and people, they went to the Turks in the north without hesitation.
Before leaving, the two met again.
She smiled and told me that after going to the Turks, she would definitely stop the Turks from going south to invade our Central Plains.
Some people are like this, even though they have not seen it too many times in their lives.
But her womanly character was deeply imprinted in her mind.
Later, when he got married and started a career, became a general, and fought in the east and west, the two of them had already completely lost contact.
But I still remember that there was a girl like this who went to Turks without hesitation for the sake of her family and country.
To this day, it really makes people feel that things are unpredictable.
It has been so long in the blink of an eye.
The handsome young man back then has now become a father, and will soon turn into a bad old man.
And the young and beautiful princess in my impression has become old now, right?
So that’s it.
When the soldiers heard this, they nodded. I asked why that man said these words. It turned out that Zhen and the marshal were old friends.
Alas, it's just that friends are friends, and that's all in the past.
Now the two sides are still enemies. If the marshal goes over and is attacked by the enemy, what should he do?
However, Li Jing thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Fellow soldiers, I know what you are thinking.
But this time I have to go and see her in person."
"marshal."
The surrounding soldiers tried to dissuade him, but Li Jing waved his hand and told everyone to stand aside and not follow him.
Then he rode on horseback and galloped forward.
The soldiers in front made a way and walked at the front, stopping about a mile away.
Seeing the people coming, Princess Yicheng rode over and hurried over.
The two sides met face to face.
"Li Jing."
"Princess Yicheng."
"Marshal Li is still as good as before."
"The same goes for the princess."
"Hmph, Li Jing, do you know your guilt?"
"Oh, what is the reason for my crime?"
"You are a general of our Sui Dynasty, but you don't want to serve me as a great Sui Dynasty. You actually surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this a crime?"
After hearing Princess Yicheng's words, Li Jing shook his head.
This princess is still the same as before!
"Hey, what the princess said is wrong, the Tang Dynasty was born in response to the sky.
All the princes in the Central Plains were finally wiped out and the entire land was unified. This was done in accordance with the destiny of heaven.
We surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and we were just obeying the destiny of heaven, so what crime did we commit?"
"Hahaha, the Tang Dynasty was born in response to the sky.
During our Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was just a dog of our Sui Dynasty.
It's really ridiculous that a dog turns back and becomes its master in the end.
In addition to Li Yuan, those Longxi nobles should all die.
Our Sui Dynasty will not be destroyed, it is just a conspiracy played by those clans."
Logically speaking, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were both born in the same place, and they were related to each other.
In the end, the clans that supported them in the Sui Dynasty actually turned around and supported Li Yuan.
Thinking of these, how can you not be angry?
"Princess, since you already know, why do you need to say that?"
"I hate it. If it weren't for Li Yuan, our Sui Dynasty would not have perished.
If those clans hadn't come to support them, this group of hateful clans would have been a cancer."
"Your Highness, you will be a king or a bandit, what's the use of talking about that?"
"Hahahaha, what a winner and loser.
After so many years, you have indeed changed.
Back then I was just a little-known young master, but now I command the entire Tang Dynasty to fight."
"Time waits for no one, princess, you have also changed, hahahaha!
"Li Jing laughed heartily, as if he was laughing at how fast time flies, and also as if he was laughing at the fact that it had been so many years since they met again in the blink of an eye.
"You are married and have children, right?"
"I got married and gave birth to a son. Now the Holy One has betrothed the princess to my son.
I just wait until the princess reaches the marriageable age and then arrange the marriage."
"Okay, that's great. Being able to be your daughter-in-law must be a very lucky thing.
If I can attend the event, I will definitely tell him that I also had a fight with your father back then!"
"Alas, what you said is wrong, princess. If you want to go there and participate in my son's wedding, of course you can.
As long as you, and all the Sui troops behind you, surrender, we will be captured.
I will send someone to escort you all the way to Chang'an City, and the Holy Spirit will definitely not punish you if you are merciful."
Li Jing can guarantee this matter.
What kind of character His Majesty is, these soldiers, who have followed the Holy Lord in battle, know very well what kind of person he is.
Even though His Majesty said that he would capture all the Sui people back to Chang'an.
In fact, he knew that if they were all captured and brought back to Chang'an City, they would be properly arranged according to the Holy Spirit's wishes.
You will definitely not be severely punished.
"Princess, you have stayed in the grassland your whole life.
In the coming time, it is also time to return to the Central Plains and take a good look at the place where you grew up."
"Humph, I am at odds with the Tang Dynasty. You want me to surrender. It is a wishful thinking."
"Hey, princess, why are you doing this?"
"The revenge for destroying the country must be avenged. How can I have wine?"
"Of course there's wine."
Li Jing waved his hand, and a soldier from behind rushed over.
He asked someone to bring over two jars of wine, and they jumped off their horses, stood aside, tore off the lids, and started drinking.
"Hahaha, it's a wine from the Central Plains. Drinking it makes you feel refreshed.
The wine made by the Turks is tasteless."
"If Princess returns to the Tang Dynasty, you can drink whenever you want. Wouldn't it be fun then?"
"Come on, let's have a fight.
After so many years, let me see if your martial arts have improved?"
"Okay, if that's the case, the princess should be careful."
Throwing the wine jar aside, the two drew their weapons and started fighting.
No one thought that the submissive princess in the Turkic royal court could actually have such abilities?
Seeing the fighting going on in front, the soldiers behind also rushed over quickly and watched quietly from a hundred meters away from the general.
Whenever you find any unusual movement in the Sui people, go immediately to suppress it.
They didn't have the same thoughts about the Sui Dynasty that Li Jing had.
Anyone who dares to provoke me, Datang, will be killed no matter who they are.
There was a crackling sound from the weapons on both sides.
"Li Jing, after so many years, your martial arts have also improved!"
"The same goes for you, princess. You are still as heroic as before."
"Hahahaha, I'm going to be serious this time."
With that said, the two sides continued to fight.
The sword rises and falls with the hand, and the sword rises and falls with the hand. The sword is deadly, but the sword gives people the feeling that it is saved with one hand.
"Princess, be careful."
Li Jing drew his weapon and stabbed quickly.
This is his own way of becoming famous.
I saw Princess Yicheng quickly blocking with her weapon.
The moment his sword struck her, Princess Yicheng threw her weapon aside.
Li Jing was shocked when he saw what she was doing, and even if he tried to pull back his strength, he couldn't.
Pfft.
The sword penetrated directly into Princess Yicheng's body.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty immediately issued an order and all the soldiers charged.
"Kill, kill."
The leading soldiers charged quickly. The soldiers in front had already arrived around Li Jing, protecting the marshal.
They were just waiting for the marshal's order to launch the most violent attack on their group of Sui people.
"Li Jing, you are my best friend. I already recognized you when we first met.
It's just a pity. Our friend should be able to drink and have fun every day.
In the end, they had different paths and did not work together. To this day, they are fighting against each other.
This is also the scene I least want to see, but I have no regrets about dying at your hands.
Remember, you don't have the slightest responsibility, this is all my own choice.
It's impossible for me to go back to Chang'an City and wait for you Tang people to pity you, because they don't deserve it.
However, these people are also ordinary soldiers of our Sui Dynasty, and they have not done anything harmful to nature.
I hope they can be spared their lives. I believe the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can be so kind.
Although there is a descendant of my Sui Dynasty royal family inside, he doesn't know anything about it.
I hope the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can spare his life, I will definitely be grateful, if he can kill him all."
Cough, cough!
"Military doctor, military doctor, save people, save people, save her at all costs!"
"It's the marshal."
There is no need to save me. I am a broken body. I originally thought of recovering the Sui Dynasty as my duty.
But now that the Sui Dynasty is gone, so will the Turks.
It is a blessing to be able to see my friend before he dies.
The doctors accompanying the army quickly stepped forward and began to save people.
After giving the order, Datang's army quickly charged and surrounded the group of people.
With the words "Those who surrender will avoid death," everyone dropped their weapons one after another.
Li Jing also kept his promise and did not tie up all of them.
They just arranged an army of 3,000 people to transport their group to Chang'an City.
Of course, if anyone dares to cause trouble during this period, they will be killed without mercy.
Thank you, General Datang. Thank you, General Datang.
When they heard that Datang had really spared their lives, everyone quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Seeing these weaklings, Li Jing shook his head.
Little did they know that the lives of this group of people were also protected by this princess.
At the end of the day, it was fine not to thank him, but it turned out to be like this, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Perhaps only at this moment of your life will you know what true value is.
