In the deep mountains and old forests, various ethnic groups in the party are still fleeing in confusion.
They regretted provoking the Tang people now. Although they had done similar things in the past, the Tang army was not so vicious at that time.
Generally speaking, officials from the Tang Dynasty would come to reprimand them, and then they would get rid of them and figure out what to do next.
But this time, the Tang army came. Not only did they want to defeat themselves, they were also frantically arresting their own people.
The party members did not understand why the emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly changed.
"I'm not leaving!" Xi Fengbu Lai sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
The people of the Xifeng clan looked at each other in confusion, not understanding how the clan leader could lie down so quickly. It was not a good idea to lie down, as the Tang army was still arresting them everywhere.
"Chief, the Tang people are coming soon, we..."
"Shut up." Xi Feng Bu Lai said angrily: "It's all the bastards of the Tuoba clan who committed the crime. Why should we suffer? I want to surrender!"
Joining if you can't beat them, this is normal in Xi Feng Bu Lai's view. Before the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't defeat the man named Da Sui, so it's not like they never surrendered. He was very skilled in this trick.
Why don't you just surrender? What's the big deal?
When the Xi Feng clan members saw that their boss had given up running away, they naturally had no reason to run away. Only one or two people were afraid and fled quietly, while many others chose to stay in place with Xi Feng Bulai.
When Su Lie led his army to surround Xifeng Bu Lai, he was overjoyed. This time he had captured many party members. His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be happy to know this.
However, he never expected that Xi Feng Bu Lai would surrender.
"Chili gua la, chili gua la..." Xi Feng Bu Lai knelt down to Su Lie and said a lot of words.
After translation, the core meaning is the same.
It wasn't me who wanted to rebel, it was the bastards of the Tuoba clan who coerced us to rebel. We, the Xifeng clan, are good citizens of the Tang Dynasty. We have never done anything illegal and disciplined, and we are willing to submit to His Majesty the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Su Lie couldn't handle this.
I really want to arrest you and take credit for it. Can’t you party thieves have some backbone? You run away, why don’t you run away!
"Surround them!"
Su Lie glared at Xi Feng Bu Lai fiercely, then turned around to discuss with Zhang Shigui.
Xi Fengbulai, on the other hand, was sweating profusely. He was not stupid. Just now, he clearly saw that Tang General had a look of regret on his face.
This is so wrong.
In the past, when the Sui Dynasty sent people to fight against them, they would withdraw after winning.
But there was something wrong with this Tang general. His expression was clearly one of displeasure. He was very familiar with this expression. He had the same expression when he was playing with women in the party.
Thinking of this, he deeply hated the Tuoba family.
On the other side, Zhang Shigui was also very confused after hearing about Xi Feng Bu Lai's surrender.
The task given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is to capture more party members. This is the core idea and the main task.
Killing party members is not considered meritorious this time.
"How many people are there in the Xifeng clan?" Zhang Shigui asked.
Su Lie replied: "Not much, about eight hundred."
Zhang Shigui thought twice and said, "Accept their surrender."
"But where is His Royal Highness?"
"It doesn't matter. In the mountains and forests in this area, the Dangxiang people are more familiar with them. With Xi Feng as a dog, we are still afraid that we won't be able to catch the Dangxiang people."
Su Lie asked again: "Do you want to provide them with food and grass?"
"Shit." Zhang Shigui said: "Spending their lives is already giving them face, but they still want to eat? Let them solve it themselves."
"yes."
After Xifenbulai surrendered, Su Lie and others, with divine help, made rapid progress in arresting the party members.
In June, Su Lie and Zhang Shigui returned to Chang'an with more than 3,000 captured party members.
The party members were sent to Taiyuan to dig coal, while Su Lie and Zhang Shigui received the rewards as usual.
At the same time, good news also came from the prince's harem.
The Crown Princess and Huaiyang are pregnant again!
backyard.
Li Zhiyun took a rare maternity leave and accompanied his two ladies to sunbathe in the courtyard.
Baoniang's little head was pressed tightly against her aunt's belly. After listening for a while, she ran to listen to her Huaiyang aunt's belly.
"Yeah, I'm lying. There is no sound in my mother's and aunt's stomachs, and there is no child!"
The little girl felt that she had been deceived and pouted unhappy.
The Crown Princess touched her daughter's little head and said, "Go and have a rest. You have to go to school in the afternoon. Don't mess around."
"Aw." The little girl nodded and followed the maid down to take a nap.
Li Zhiyun stepped forward, holding his two wives in each hand.
"I really don't want to see you two working hard. Every time you are pregnant with your child, I am both happy and worried."
Huaiyang smiled and said: "Husband, don't worry, there are good prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors, it will be fine."
"Yes." The Crown Princess said happily: "This is what I should do for Your Highness."
After giving birth to Chengzhao, three years later, she finally became pregnant again.
Li Zhiyun looked forward to it: "It would be better if it was a daughter."
The two beauties couldn't help but smile.
Huaiyang asked: "Why does Your Highness prefer my younger sister?"
Li Zhiyun said seriously: "Don't you understand this? If they are young men, I can teach them unscrupulously. If they are young ladies, I can't bear to do it. I can only pamper them unscrupulously. Young men are too noisy and not as well-behaved as the young ladies.
.”
"Nonsense." The Crown Princess said angrily: "Isn't Jing'er quiet? Also, Bao Niang is more noisy than Xiao Lang. Among the children in this house, who is not afraid of her and Shun Niang?"
Speaking of this, Huaiyang couldn't help but smile.
Li Zhiyun said: "Madam, what you see are all appearances. With you teaching my daughter, I can rest assured. In the future, Bao Niang and Shun Niang will definitely be ladies."
The Crown Princess and Huaiyang pursed their lips and smiled.
After a pause, the Crown Princess reminded: "If my husband is free, I would also like to say a good word about the Yin family."
"What's wrong?"
"Husband, don't you think Jing'er's temperament is getting softer and softer?"
Hearing this, the smile on Li Zhiyun's face faded slightly.
It is a good thing for the eldest son to be quiet, but if he is weak-tempered, he will inevitably be bullied in the future.
"I will."
At the same time, a letter from Feng Zhidai was sent to the Lingnan Gaozhou Governor's Office.
After Feng An read the letter, he picked up the soap and rubbed it gently. Immediately, he stood up and bowed to the north.
"The prince is truly a benevolent king."
As a high-ranking official in a feudal territory, especially an official in such a corner, Feng Ang was actually under a lot of pressure.
He is also a good man and understands his situation very well. He understands that the nobles in Chang'an will definitely not trust him to stay in Gaozhou, Lingnan.
Gein is his hometown, and most of the people here are headed by him.
And this is precisely the most dangerous thing. In an era of chaos, this is his haven, but if the world is peaceful, he will live in fear.
There is no other way. If someone wrongly accuses him of rebelling, Chang'an will directly send troops over, and he will only die.
Having served as an official in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Feng An knew very well that the fact that the imperial court did not attack Lingnan did not mean that he was strong, but that the imperial court had no time to deal with him now.
By sending Feng Zhiliao to Chang'an, he was also showing that he had no intention of doing anything.
However, he has always been uneasy in his heart, and he is worried that one day an imperial edict will be sent to him directly to invite him to Chang'an.
Now that he sees his son's letter, Feng Ang feels much more stable.
The prince really thinks about Lingnan and the people of Lingnan. He is even rewarding him with the Feng family.
He knew about this soap because someone gave him a few pieces and he had used them before, so he knew how valuable it was.
Because of this, how could Feng Ang not be moved when he learned that the prince was willing to let him exchange worthless sugar cane for the franchise of soap in the Lingnan states.
He knew very well that this soap, such a big piece of fat, would be coveted by the nobles in Chang'an.
The prince still remembered his old Feng family, how could he not be moved by this.
He decided that the sugar cane should be given to the prince, and the money and food should be given to the prince.
His Royal Highness the Prince thinks so highly of me, Old Feng, that I, Old Feng, cannot be arrogant because of his favor!
