Li Xian glanced at the general and saw that he was extremely unfamiliar. He had never seen him face to face before. He couldn't help but become suspicious, but he didn't rush to take action. Instead, he snorted coldly.
"The last general, Xue Tao, is Zuo Yulin's army general. He has just been transferred back from Liaodong a few days ago. Now he has been ordered to come to the Wuyun Hall of Wei. Please don't make it difficult for the last general."
Xue Tao was born in the border army. This time he was transferred to the Yulin Army, which can be regarded as a big promotion. However, he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing as being ordered to put Li Xian under house arrest just after he took office. He had been in the bloody battle for many years.
Although Li Xian's bravery has become a myth in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Tao is not afraid of a battle, but he is not a stupid person. From the previous exchange between Li Xian and Sun Quanfu
He could tell that the situation seemed strange. When he thought that he might be involved in the palace conspiracy, Xue Tao's heart was completely confused. Although he was strong and calm in his words, his body was uncontrollable.
Shivering slightly.
"It turns out to be General Xue. You came just in time. I believe that Sun Quanfu's move is a false imperial edict. I am about to take him to see my father. I also ask General Xue to help me!"
When Li Xian heard that this person had just been transferred from the border army, he immediately knew that this person was being used. His heart moved slightly, his expression softened instantly, and he returned the favor with an unquestionable tone.
He gave an order.
"Ah, this, this..."
Xue Tao had just arrived and had no idea what was going on in the court. Seeing that Li Xian was so sure, Xue Tao's already confused heart became even more confused. He looked at Li Xian and then at Sun Quanfu.
I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long while.
"General Xue, His Majesty the King of England is violating your order. Your Majesty has given an order here. Do you dare to disobey it?"
Seeing that the situation was about to get worse, Sun Quanfu couldn't care about anything, so he started screaming without caring.
"Your Highness Haihan, the last general has been ordered to guard the Wuyun Hall. Until he receives new orders, the last general can only stick to his post. All the troops are ordered to prepare their formations!"
Xue Tao was not stupid. Just one look at Sun Quanfu's appearance and he knew there must be fraud. However, the order he received did not come from Sun Quanfu, but from his superior, Yulin Army General Wang Sheng.
Before receiving instructions from his superiors, he did not dare to let Li Xian leave. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and apologize, then waved the three-foot green peak in his hand and shouted loudly to order his troops to arrange their formations.
What to do? To charge or not to charge? Seeing that the Yulin army had begun to form a formation, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little confused - considering the combat power of the Yulin army, Li Xian didn't care about it at all.
Even though there are more than 400 officers and soldiers surrounding this place, in Li Xian's eyes, they are just chickens and dogs. It is not that difficult to break out of the encirclement. The problem is that if we continue to work hard like this, things will become obvious.
It is about to get out of hand. Even if he is reasonable, as long as he fights with the Yulin Army, it will become unreasonable. Moreover, Princess Mingyue and Zhao Qiong are still in the palace, what if something goes wrong?
, then Li Xian was afraid that he would regret it to death, but if he didn't act against it and Empress Wu's conspiracy was launched, it's hard to say what the consequences would be.
"Since General Xue insists on doing this, I have no choice but to offend you, so why don't I take you and Sun Thief to face the saint together?"
Li Xian did not hesitate for too long, he had already made a decision in his mind. In his opinion, if he did not make progress at this time, he would die. Only by bringing the matter to Gaozong could he have a chance of survival. As for the rest, Li Xian
Xian Xian couldn't care anymore, so he sneered, raised his palms, and was about to break out of the encirclement.
As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. A group of Yulin troops have been guarding the palace all year round. They have heard a lot about Li Xian's reputation. When they saw that Li Xian was about to take action, they all panicked.
The sound of unsheathing was heard, and hundreds of people were nervously on alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"stop!"
Just when the battle was about to break out, a shout suddenly rang out in the darkness. Immediately, after a commotion in the rear of the Yulin Army, General Xue Rengui, who was dressed in golden armor, lined up in front of the formation.
"The last general Xue Rengui meets His Royal Highness."
Xue Rengui ignored Xue Tao, who came forward to greet him, and Sun Quanfu, who came over with twinkling eyes. He just strode up to Li Xian, saluted respectfully and said hello.
"General Xue doesn't need to be polite. I'm going to meet my father now. Does General Xue have any advice?"
Li Xian didn't know what Xue Rengui's purpose was, so he didn't want to be too polite, so he nodded calmly and asked in an indifferent tone.
"Your Highness, please help yourself!"
The reason why Xue Rengui was reinstated so quickly after the defeat of Dafeichuan was not only the favor of Emperor Gaozong, but also the help of Li Xian. However, this was not the reason for Xue Rengui's release. The real reason was
As soon as this chaos broke out, Xue Rengui had already received the news and immediately went to report to Gao Zong, who was in mourning. However, he did not explain the truth about the chaos here, but only said that King Li Xian of England asked to see him. At that time, Gao Zong was
He was crying so much that he didn't think much about it and agreed casually. Xue Rengui led the people and hurried to Wuyun Hall. Fortunately, the distance between Wuyun Hall and Qianyuan Hall was not too far.
, Xue Rengui was able to arrive before the chaos broke out. When he heard that Li Xian was about to face the emperor, he naturally would not stop him.
"Thank you, General Xue."
Li Xian absolutely did not want to make a move with Xue Rengui. Upon hearing Xue Rengui's statement, his heart immediately relaxed and he raised his hands in a polite salute.
"Your Highness, please!"
Xue Rengui didn't say any more nonsense. He just gave Li Xian a meaningful look and waved his hand, indicating that Li Xian could help himself.
Huh? That bastard Sun Quanfu actually escaped, what a nimble move! Li Xian didn't leave in a hurry, but glanced at the surrounding situation, and then realized that Sun Quanfu had escaped at some point, but he didn't bother to pay attention.
After pondering, he cupped his hands to Xue Rengui and said: "General Xue, four eunuchs attacked me earlier, and now they are all lying in the palace. I also asked General Xue to take down those four thieves. I thought there must be something fishy.
, In addition, Gu’s two concubines are still in the palace, General Xue has sent people to guard this palace, I would be very grateful.”
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
When Xue Rengui heard that someone was attacking Li Xian, he was immediately frightened. Without asking for more details, he hurriedly responded and directed his men to enter the palace to capture the person.
Old thief, since we are going to take action, let's just come and see the real chapter, let's wait and see! Li Xian didn't care how Xue Rengui arranged his troops, just straightened his clothes, and strode towards the Qianyuan Hall.
After he passed away, his face was calm as usual, but the hatred towards Empress Wu in his heart was already extremely strong.
"...My son, why did you have to go through such a miserable life? Hong'er, my Hong'er..."
Li Xian just arrived in front of the Qianyuan Hall. Before he entered the hall, he heard crying coming from inside. It was obvious that Gaozong was extremely sad about Li Hong's death. Li Xian couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the sound.
He didn't dare to delay too much, he just shook his head slightly, walked over to the group of Yulin officers and soldiers who were on guard in front of the hall, handed over his badge, and a general came forward and received him respectfully.
After passing Li Xian's belt, he hurried toward the palace. Without counting his breath, he turned back and conveyed Gaozong's oral instructions for Li Xian to see him immediately.
"...Er, my Hong'er, I'm going to give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man. Hong'er, why can't you bear to leave me and leave like this, Hong'er..."
As soon as Li Xianfang entered the main hall, he saw Gao Zong sitting on the dragon bed and crying loudly, while Empress Wu stood beside him with a sad face and silently shed tears. The couple seemed to be immersed in endless grief.
He even didn't even see Li Xian's arrival.
"My sons and ministers bow to their father and the queen, and to their mother."
Li Xian didn't dare to look any further, so he quickly rushed to the front door and saluted with a trembling voice.
"Ah, it's Xian'er who's here. Alas, did you know that Hong'er has already gone? Alas, I'm so confused. Woo hoo, my Hong'er..."
Gaozong raised his head with tears in his eyes. Seeing that Li Xian had arrived, he cried slightly, but after saying a few words, he couldn't help crying again. It was obvious that Li Hong's death had completely hurt him.
heart.
"Father, how did the prince's brother go? At yesterday's dinner, the prince's brother was very good. How could he go just as he said? I don't believe it. There must be something wrong in this!"
After nearly being placed under house arrest, Li Xian no longer wanted to pretend to be ignorant. After kowtowing, he knelt down straight without getting up and reported the report in an passionate tone.
"Huh? Why did Xian'er say this?"
Upon hearing Li Xian's words with such certainty, Gaozong immediately stopped crying, opened his hazy eyes, and asked suspiciously.
"If I return to my father, I will almost not be able to see my father. Previously, Sun Quanfu falsely conveyed my father's will and led his troops to surround the Wuyun Palace, intending to kill my son. Fortunately, General Xue arrived in time.
I was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. Although I got rid of the thief Sun Quanfu, I still captured four people alive. They are now under the control of General Xue. Judging from others, I thought that the death of the prince's brother must be...
There are thieves who are causing trouble secretly. I beg your father to immediately issue an edict to investigate and do not let the thieves go unpunished!" Li Xian was completely willing to fight and replied impassionedly.
"What? This is happening? Someone, come quickly!"
When Gaozong heard what Li Xian said, he immediately became angry. He jumped up, slapped the dragon case, and roared with great emotion, like an angry lion. Unfortunately, his thin body obviously couldn't bear this.
Waiting for the passion, he yelled a few times and couldn't catch a breath. He was already dizzy and fell softly on the dragon bed...
