Early in the morning, amid the smoke, two figures in armor climbed up from the sandbags placed on the tower.
"Huh, these barbarians are really crazy."
Li Yu raised his sleeves and wiped his dusty face, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Tang Ji had originally solved the Yingzhou rebellion, allowing more than 100,000 troops to fill the border battlefield, which was great news for Ning State. Unexpectedly, the barbarians did not retreat because of this, and even mobilized an additional 100,000 troops from the central part of Jiang State.
Suddenly the battle situation became anxious again.
The night before yesterday, a barbarian team of more than 20,000 people raided Xuanlin Pass. Fortunately, the coach Xie Wu discovered it in time and asked him and Su Qing to come to resist. They fought fiercely for a day and night, and finally forced the opponent back.
Su Qing, who was standing next to him, was not in a very good state of mind. He looked very tired. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard, go and have a rest."
"Lao Su, you and Tang Ji are both elder brothers and younger brothers, so why are you so alienated from me? I shouldn't have put on any airs in front of you, right?" Li Yu pursed his lips and then looked into the distance.
The lying corpse in disarray continued to sigh: "I don't know what's going on with Tang Ji. No, I have to send someone to send him a message and ask him to come over and help as soon as possible. That guy has a lot of clever ideas.
Maybe he can beat the barbarians away when he comes."
Su Qing had no expression on her face and continued: "It will take a while for him to be there, but the prince has indeed grown a lot."
After listening to his words, Li Yu held his head high and said: "Yes, along the way, I have witnessed the suffering of the people, the cruelty of war, and the tempering of the military environment. I have indeed grown up. So, I originally
There is nothing wrong with choosing to come to the northwest for training, it’s just that my father’s side..."
Yesterday, he heard the news from secret spies in the capital that his father had been ill for half a month, and the court had become chaotic. Although there was no evidence, he was sure that this matter had something to do with Li Qin and Li Xian.
For the sake of power, the two of them actually attacked their father!
Su Qing naturally also learned the news that Emperor Ning was ill, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, your Majesty has the body of a golden dragon. He will be fine. We should focus on the war at the moment."
Li Yu nodded slightly, did not reply, and looked into the distance again in a daze.
Not long after, order on the tower was restored. Some soldiers were on guard, some were building fortifications, and others were bandaging and treating wounds...
Li Yu shook his head, put away his thoughts, and was about to ask Su Qing to have breakfast with him, but was interrupted by a soldier rushing up from the gate of the tower.
"Report to His Highness Prince You, Tang...Tang Jiedu Envoy, he, he..."
Hearing this, Li Yu's eyes lit up: "Is Tang Ji coming?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the expression on the other person's face was a bit dignified and sad. He frowned and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Tang Ji?"
The soldier swallowed his saliva and said sadly: "The Tang Jiedushi was killed in Shuozhou."
In an instant, both Li Yu and Su Qing's expressions changed. Li Yu shook his head in disbelief and froze in place. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do you know the consequences of lying about military information?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense. This is the news from Yingzhou. Seven days ago, Tang Jiedushi encountered an ambush on the way from Liuxian to Shuozhou and finally fell into the cliff. After several days of exploration by Liuxian officials,
, Master Tang’s body has been found at the foot of the cliff." The soldier whispered back, trembling all over.
Su Qing frowned: "Tang Ji went to Liu County just for the Jianghu Conference. It seems that those people were able to take action."
Li Yu almost bit his teeth into pieces, and punched the air, but it was so weak. He couldn't help but recall the days when he and Tang Jitong advanced and retreated in Huaizhou and Kyoto, and lifted up the cloak that was blown by the wind and stuck to his armor.
He opened the door and said in a deep voice: "Pass this king's order to ask the governor of Shuozhou and the county magistrate of Liu County to investigate this matter. Also, arrest the family that held the Jianghu Conference. When the northwest war is over, I will
The king personally sent them down to make amends to Tang Ji!"
The soldier lowered his head suddenly. This was the first time he saw His Highness Prince You angry, and he immediately replied: "Yes."
Then, Li Yu forced down the grief in his heart, his expression became firm, and he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Su Qing knew his relationship with Tang Ji and understood his mood at this time. He did not stop him, but added: "My lord, why don't you eat something first and take a rest?"
"No, you can eat. I will ask General Xie about his next arrangements. I will destroy the barbarians and go to Shuozhou as soon as possible." Li Yu left without looking back after saying a word.
Looking at his angry back, Su Qing took a deep breath. She always felt something strange. Previously, in such a dangerous situation in Yingzhou, Tang Ji was able to lead the three of them out of the siege. How could he be killed by someone?
What about interception on the road?
However, since the news can be spread to the army, it cannot be false. He sighed and murmured: "I hope this is just your plan."
...
"Ah owe!"
"Ah owe!"
In the backyard of Xiaoyao Pavilion, Tang Jizheng was lying leisurely on a chair, holding a small teapot in his hand, basking in the sun, shaking his head and listening to Jiang Ran sitting next to him playing the piano, but suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his nose, and before he could react, he
He sneezed twice and almost dropped the teapot in his hand to the ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran stopped quickly and looked at him with his jade eyes blinking: "What's wrong with you? I covered you with a quilt last night, so you wouldn't catch the cold."
Tang Ji rubbed his nose, then waved his hand: "It's okay, maybe it's been too long since I've had such a magical life, especially admiring my wife's peerless appearance, so I feel a little uncomfortable."
Jiang Ran pursed her jade lips lightly and glanced at him: "You're talkative again."
"I told the truth." After speaking, Tang Ji stretched his neck and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
This scene happened to be bumped into by two figures walking from the front building. Wu Chengyun and his son were a little at a loss for a while. They gave in and finally Wu Chengyun took the lead and stepped forward: "Greetings to Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang."
Jiang Ran's face turned slightly red, but she had already adapted to it. After all, this stinky man was always bold. Without thinking much, she stood up and nodded in response, then went straight to the table and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
Tang Ji also sat up, put the teapot aside, and raised his hand to signal to the two of them: "Please sit down."
Wu Jun sat down first and said quickly: "How dare you ask Mrs. Tang to pour the tea herself? We can do it ourselves."
Jiang Ran was speechless. After placing the teacup in front of the two of them, he turned back to Tang Ji.
Tang Ji Feiyan looked at the two of them: "How is it? Have all the disciples at home made arrangements?"
"I would like to inform Mr. Tang that the common people have evacuated 90% of the Wu family's children to Shuozhou as ordered. Those who remain in the city are the most loyal and trustworthy people of the Wu family and can be at the disposal of Mr. Tang at any time." General Wu Jun just said.
He put down the teacup he had picked up and responded with his hand raised.
Wu Chengyun also continued to add: "As for the Jianghu Conference, the grassroots have already made arrangements and everything is going smoothly. I hope Mr. Tang can rest assured."
Tang Ji nodded slightly, looked at the two of them again, concentrated for a moment, and said: "You two, I promised you before that as long as you help me, I will also help you deal with the Chen family. I wish you to become the strongest in Liu County."
Sheng's family, and all of this only represents me personally, not the imperial court. To put it simply, the person who is cooperating with you is Tang Ji himself, not Tang Ji, the military governor, so you don't need to call me Mr. Tang."
After listening to his words, Wu Chengyun and Wu Jun looked at each other, and the latter quickly said: "Master Tang, you also know the relationship between my sister and Brother Hua, plus you don't treat us as outsiders, treat Xiaoyao
The secrets in the pavilion have been told to us, so my father and I have discussed it, and if you agree, we plan to follow you in the future, and the Wu family will be a branch of Xiaoyao Pavilion from now on."
Hearing this, Tang Ji pondered again, and then showed a worried look: "Once my Xiaoyao Pavilion develops, it is likely to become a thorn in the eyes of many people, even the royal family, and may encounter countless dangers in the future. You guys
..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengyun, who was sitting next to him, burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Master Tang has forgotten that this is the northwest. The Wu family only got up from chaos and was never afraid of danger."
Tang Jidian smiled and nodded, with a look of relief on his face. Since the other party was willing to join his team, he certainly had no reason to refuse. With the Wu family, it would be much easier to open up business in the northwest, and then he patted
Table: "Okay, in that case, Xiaoyao Pavilion will advance and retreat with the Wu family from now on."
Wu Chengyun and Wu Jun stood up together, raised their hands and replied: "I am willing to serve the Pavilion Master!"
Tang Ji waved his hand casually and took out a piece of rice paper from his arms: "There are not so many rules in the pavilion. Sit down. I will work hard for you in the next few days to speed up the process of the Jianghu Conference. We must dare to stand in front of the Chen family
, I only told you half of the plan before, this is the other half..."
