The next few days.
It was quite lively in the court hall.
Li Shimin had no intention of saving face for Li Yuanjing.
Li Yuanjing and Liu Xiaosun colluded with Cui Yinghe and told them in public.
As for the collusion between Li Yuanjing and Cui Yinghe, Li Yuanchang also testified.
But just when Li Shimin was about to sentence Li Yuanjing to death.
Li Yuan rarely appeared in the court.
He personally came forward to intercede for Li Yuanjing.
And Li Chengqian also took advantage of the situation and stood with his grandfather.
finally.
This also forced Li Shimin to give up killing and instead demoted Li Yuanjing to a commoner.
But Li Yuanjing's matter came to an end.
Li Chengqian finally had time to rest in peace and recuperate.
Ten days passed in a flash.
This day.
Li Chengqian sat in his study and read all morning as usual.
When the sun set to the west, Li Chengqian put down the book in his hand and stretched out.
"The leisure time has been too long."
"It will also make you feel bored."
That's when Li Chengqian sighed.
Xiao Chuzi suddenly ran over and said close to Li Chengqian's ear: "Your Highness, a message has been sent from Beimo."
Hear this.
Li Chengqian's spirit was lifted.
He turned to look at Xiao Chuzi and asked, "How is it? Is it good news or bad news?"
"this……"
Little Chuzi hesitated and said: "There are good and bad..."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Why are there good and bad? Where is the person who sent the letter now?"
Seeing Xiao Chuzi, he couldn't tell clearly.
He didn't bother to ask, so he could just ask the person who sent the letter.
Little Chuzi was relieved and said quickly: "The person who sent the message is in the East Palace now."
"Walk!"
Li Chengqian strode straight back to the East Palace.
Before anyone could enter the courtyard, they saw Wang Fang wandering outside the East Palace.
Wang Fang looked happy when she saw Li Chengqian coming back.
He quickly walked up to Li Chengqian, knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinate Wang Fang, please pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"My brother, there is no need to be polite!"
Li Chengqian pulled Wang Fang up from the ground and asked, "How is the situation in the Northern Desert? Have you found the whereabouts of the rebels?"
"found it!"
"And just before I came back, we just fought them again."
Wang Fang said truthfully: "After the first battle, many of the Cui family girls' accomplices were captured, a total of 392 people."
"Those people are now in the Liuli prison. If you want to interrogate them, you can do so at any time."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was ecstatic.
He and Cui Yinghe have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.
But because of the relationship between light and darkness, he has always lost more and won less.
This time, I finally defeated the opponent once.
"Great, great!"
"What you did is really great."
Li Chengqian sincerely praised: "When you come back victorious, I will reward you well."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Fang bowed and saluted, and then a touch of sadness flashed across his face.
"This time we won a small victory."
"but……"
Wang Fang pursed her lips and said, "Cao Qi, it's broken..."
As soon as this statement came out.
The smile on Li Chengqian's face suddenly froze.
"Cao Qi broke it? How did it break?"
He knew clearly that Cao Qi was a fool.
If he wants to escape, no one can stop him.
Before going, Li Chengqian even thought that something would happen to Fu Laoliu and the others, but he did not expect that Cao Qi would die.
Li Chengqian grabbed Wang Fang's arm and said, "Cao Qi's Qinggong is so powerful, how could he die?"
Wang Fang pursed her lips tightly and said nothing for a long time.
"I let you speak!"
"How did Cao Qi die?"
Li Chengqian roared at Wang Fang.
He and Cao Qi have not known each other for a long time, but they have already gone through life and death several times.
He has long regarded Cao Qi as one of his own, as his brother.
Now that he heard the news of his death, Li Chengqian felt his heart churn.
"Half a month ago, when we first arrived in the Northern Desert, the girl from the Cui family noticed us."
Wang Fang lowered her head and said: "In order to protect Zhang Zhong, Cao Qi... died in the opponent's sneak attack."
Hear this.
Li Chengqian felt dizzy.
He also thought of the news he got that day at Qingfeng Feixue Pavilion.
There are people from Cui Yinghe beside him.
Moreover, Cui Yinghe also announced that he would keep all his people in the Northern Desert.
Now it seems that Qingfeng Feixue Pavilion is not telling lies.
They did leave behind one of their brothers...
Li Chengqian suddenly clenched his fists: "Didn't I tell you before? If anything happens, you must report it to me as soon as possible."
"Why did you just tell me that half a month has passed since Cao Qi's death?"
Wang Fang pursed her lips and said: "We feel that we are sorry for His Highness's entrustment, and we dare not repay it until it is in vain."
"Moreover, this is also Cao Qi's own wish."
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, okay."
"Let's put this aside for now."
"Tell me about the past half month since Cao Qi's death."
Li Chengqian said quietly: "What happened in the Northern Desert..."
"yes!"
Wang Fang nodded in agreement, and then began to speak slowly.
After Cao Qi's death, Gongzi Qi made up his mind to fight Cui Yinghe to the death.
He summoned all the brothers he could muster in the rivers and lakes to go to Bei Mo and had a big fight with Cui Yinghe in Bei Mo.
The people under Cui Yinghe were either some reckless bandits in the world, or some carefully trained dead soldiers.
The strength of the two parties is basically the same, and their styles of doing things are also very similar.
Therefore, during these half months, the two sides often fought in a life-threatening manner.
The vast desert is full of battlefields between the two sides.
Sometimes, Gongzi Qi would have the upper hand, and sometimes Cui Yinghe would rely on his familiarity with the terrain to toy around with Gongzi Qi and the others.
Anyway, for a long time, both sides had their own victories and defeats.
Until five days ago, Gongzi Qi formulated a careful plan.
He deliberately exposed his position and lured Cui Yinghe into taking the bait.
However, the other party was not fooled and did not take any action.
And Young Master Qina is a very experienced hunter.
He immediately noticed that there was the other person's eyes beside him.
So they planned to capture the eyes and tortured them severely.
"Those eyes aren't that tough. They were all healed after being tortured twice."
Wang Fang continued: "After that, the young master used the information from this eye to take down Cui Yinghe's stronghold in Yanshan Mountain in one fell swoop."
"What a coincidence."
"This stronghold is the settlement point for Cui Yinghe's family members."
"The boy you are talking about was brought back by us together with Cui Yinghe's young husband!"
