"I couldn't get Xuan Ba back...!" Li Huaian said with unusual guilt.
On the horseback, Du Ruhui endured the pain, but he knew in his heart that Li Huaian's guilt and sadness for not being able to retrieve Li Xuanba's body were probably far less than his current confusion and sadness over the loss of Li Xuanba, an unparalleled warrior. Lost.
Thinking back on how heroic and ambitious the prince of the Tang Dynasty was back then.
However, this ambition seems to be based on the fact that he has a second brother with natural divine power, an absolute god of death on the battlefield.
Now that I have lost my biggest support, it is like losing my heart all of a sudden.
My heart is gone.
Naturally, at this moment, I sat there and started crying.
It wasn't just his second brother who was crying.
And his own ambitions.
When he saw Li Yuan who had also fled back in embarrassment, Li Huaian broke down and shed tears: "Father! It was my incompetence that cost tens of thousands of sons to death. I also let Xuan Ba be killed by Xiao Yi and failed to retrieve his body. I don’t have the face to see you again!”
In fact, on the way to escape, Li Yuan had already heard about the entire battle on Phoenix Road.
I can only say that it is time and destiny.
After they killed Gao Qiu, Li Yuan actually did not want to rebel immediately.
On the other side of the capital, on the occasion of the new year of the crown prince, Li Linfu, the treacherous Prime Minister who caused trouble to Chao Gang, was tried and executed.
What Machiavellian tactics and ingenuity this is!
He had seen people like Li Linfu before. Before Xiao Di became seriously ill, he also wanted to pay tribute to the court.
The prefects at that time were all meritorious ministers, and they also had great respect for Xiao Di.
However, it is not known whether Xiao Yi's body was harmed by others or whether it was his own fate. He fell ill in his fifties.
At this time, Daqian Prime Minister Li Linfu, who had gained power before he fell ill, naturally took full control of the entire court.
These prefects hold heavy troops, the capital is a mixed bag, and the emperor is erratic.
These prefects became restless.
Li Yuan is also one of them.
Of course, he had never had such thoughts before, but he couldn't stand Li Huaian's instigation.
I finally took this path.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Li Yuan's mouth trembled and his body trembled. He suppressed his grief and slapped Li Huaian twice.
"The first attack was for the tens of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield. They followed you south, but you left them there."
"The second time, it's for Li Xuanba!"
"But remember! The dead person is already dead, so what's the use of still crying here!"
"If you only want to die, don't you want to live?"
"What is the situation in Jinyang and the imperial court after this battle?
"Are you going to defend to the end, or do you want to surrender to Xiao Yi?"
"Xiao Yi is chasing me, what should I do?"
"I have governed Jinyang for more than 20 years and worked hard to create a prosperous place in Jinyang. Will it be destroyed because of this war?"
"As the eldest son of Duke Tang of Jinyang, you have a transcendent status. You can always do something for the people of Jinyang and the soldiers who follow you, right?"
"A man who is seven feet tall is really going to cry here and wait to die? Are you not caring about the overall situation?"
Li Huaian tried his best to keep silent. Looking at Li Yuan, who was pale and sweating profusely, he was inexplicably shocked.
Talk about it.
He is only twenty years old now.
Even if you mature earlier, your ambitions are also lofty.
It was also the Duke's family who lived in rich clothes and fine food when he was a child. The young man accidentally got his mind and wanted to sit in that position, so he began to work hard and struggle for this. With the support of Li Yuan, he established the current glory of the Li family in Jinyang. .
Overall, it looks like he is indeed a young hero.
However, everything seemed to go too smoothly, so much so that he almost lost his ambition in this battle.
After all, Li Yuan was in his forties, and his mental quality far exceeded that of Li Huaian. He turned around, managed to calm down, and began to plan to stabilize Pingyao's defense.
Just now, they saw Li Huaian crying, heard the battle on Phoenix Road, and learned that Li Xuanba was killed by Xiao Yi. They were really shocked and felt sad.
Scared!
If the prince leads an army to kill him.
Can Li Huaian, the eldest son of the Duke, who was once famous as a talented person in Jinyang, be able to stop him?
this is a problem.
After all, this is also a matter of your own wealth and life.
After Li Yuan arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief. Under Li Yuan's comfort, they began to accept the wounded soldiers, and then Li Yuan's troops were stationed in front of Pingyao City to protect the capital of Pingyao.
When everything was almost arranged, Li Yuan had some personal time and summoned Pei Ji, Du Ruhui and others to discuss how to ask Xiao Yi for Li Xuanba's body back.
Li Xuanba was very ugly when he was born. Li Yuan almost doubted whether this was his biological son.
But naturally this kind of thing cannot be spread out, lest people laugh at it.
At that time, he had already made people prepare to suffocate Li Xuanba and his biological mother, but was stopped by Li Huaian.
Because no matter what, there is no airtight wall in the world.
Once word gets out.
Then Li Yuan must be the butt of the joke that his concubine had an affair with someone.
Might as well keep it.
Raised generously, people can see Li Yuan's magnanimity instead of being a laughing stock.
And later.
Li Xuanba showed his natural divine ability at a very young age, which made Li Yuan relieved. He was also happy to show his son to others, and he was also called the Li family's breast tiger and the Li family's little bully.
Li Xuanba was still ugly when he grew up, but he was surprisingly strong. Several famous rangers and coaches in Jinyang were no match for Li Xuanba.
Li Yuan even called Li Xuanba the champion of the world, and he was so precious.
Li Huaian was not jealous because of Li Yuan's love for Li Xuanba, because although Li Xuanba was born with supernatural powers, he was dull!
Just listen to your elder brother, because he is very, very good to him.
What Li Yuan likes now is not Li Xuanba himself, but his innate divine ability.
Now, Li Xuanba was killed by Xiao Yi.
In fact, Li Yuan was not that sad. He actually had many children. The main reason was that Li Huaian was the eldest son, and he was extremely intelligent and ambitious.
He actually wants to sit in that position too!
Who doesn’t have an imperial dream?
Please bring back Li Xuanba's body, and by the way, the bodies or ashes of those soldiers, which are for others to see.
"My lord, this... I'm afraid it will be difficult. Xiao Yi will definitely make many unreasonable demands, right?"
What are they now?
They are rebels!
Please return Li Xuanba’s body?
How to ask for it?
As soon as the other party opens his mouth, I'm afraid he will ask them to tie themselves up and plead guilty.
Even if it doesn't.
That may be a condition that they can afford, but it will definitely cost too much.
Pei Ji thought it was impossible.
Du Ruhui was about to speak but stopped.
…
Xiao Yi took Han Shizhong and others to Longde Mansion.
The Yue-character flag flutters in the wind on the turret.
Yue Hongling in red robes and black armor led 30,000 Yulin guards to greet them in front of the city. This was also the remaining combat power after this battle.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Yi got off his horse and stepped forward to help Yue Hongling.
It has to be said that Yue Hongling, wearing armor, is a little more heroic and a little chilling.
She is a little different from the usual carefree and heroic girl.
"Hurry up and forgive me."
