Li Chengqian quickly arrived in front of Hou Junji under the protection of a group of guards.
After Li Chengqian arrived, Hou Junji hurriedly came to greet him.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
After Hou Junji bowed first, Li Chengqian quickly got off his horse and came to Hou Junji with the support of several guards.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law. I heard that my father-in-law was ambushed when he returned. I wonder what the outcome will be now?"
Hou Junji smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter. It's just that so many brothers have been deceived and become such nameless and unreasonable ghosts. I feel very uneasy."
As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, the Tang soldiers who were under his custody were dejected. I don't know who took the lead and suddenly knelt down in front of Li Chengqian.
"It is our ignorance that was deceived by the general, and we actually dared to show off to the general. It is really a sin."
But Li Chengqian looked at them as if they already knew the cause and effect of the matter.
"You are all heroes of our Tang Dynasty. You rush forward without any scruples when there is a situation. It should be my Datang that owes you. Since when did you owe me to Datang? Please loosen your bonds quickly.
Since you are here, we are destined, so you all follow me. In a few days, when my Tiance Guards are assembled, we will go north. By then, you will fight with me, and your passion will be transformed into the enemy. The hatred of the Turks, take your weapons and protect our country with me, and completely eliminate any Turks who dare to invade. "
"I will obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"We made a mistake. His Highness the Crown Prince forgives us. Our lives belong to the Crown Prince."
Along the way, these soldiers knew that Hou Junji's words were right, and they were struggling with their own fate. They did not expect that there was still a way to survive, and everyone continued to support Li Chengqian.
Who asked Li Chengqian to give them a way to survive and not hold them accountable?
When Hou Junji saw Li Chengqian's few words, he was convinced by the defeated generals in front of him and nodded.
"I am so lucky to have such a prince in the Tang Dynasty!"
But just as Hou Junji was sighing here, he suddenly asked Li Chengqian anxiously as if he remembered something.
"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any news about the Champion?"
Hou Junji asked suddenly. Li Chengqian was stunned at first, but he shook his head.
Suddenly, there were two girls nearby. They were crying. The sound was loud and the crying people felt quite uncomfortable.
After hearing the crying sound, Li Chengqian was also quite helpless, but after turning his head and seeing who was crying, he hurriedly apologized to Hou Junji and performed the courtesy of a junior when they came forward.
Li Xin is Li Chengqian's contemporary, but Li Chengqian's younger generation is also accepted. Who makes them Xu Yunyan's wife and Xu Yunyan is Li Chengqian's master?
When Xu Yunyan is away, they can represent Xu Yunyan's status and enjoy corresponding treatment.
After Li Chengqian saluted, he looked at the two of them and asked cautiously.
"Why are the two mistresses crying so miserably?"
After Li Chengqian asked, Li Xin, who was related to Li Chengqian, spoke intermittently.
"We are worried that our husband, General Hou, is generally in our country in the Tang Dynasty. Because he did not move in a suitable place and was not ambushed on a suitable route, his body was left intact. Otherwise, why would there be no trace of anything? information?"
After Li Xingang finished speaking, Lu Yueshu was also twitching there.
"If His Highness the Crown Prince knows the news about my husband, even if it is bad news, please tell us so that we can have a place to express our condolences to him."
Seeing the two women crying so miserably, Li Chengqian spread his hands.
"I don't know what happened, but don't worry, Master must not have been ambushed.
Moreover, there is no news of war in the north. The two master wives should go back to the mansion to rest. I happened to have a discussion with General Hou. If there is news, I will inform the two master wives as soon as possible. What do you think, Master? "
Li Chengqian's status is displayed here. He is the current crown prince, and he is now supervising the country in the name of Li Shimin.
No matter how close they were to him, Li Xin and Lu Yueshu couldn't keep asking her questions, so they had to go back home and let Li Chengqian and Hou Junji discuss their matters.
If there really is a scene where they don't want to get the result, they can't hide it, and sooner or later they will know about it.
In Chang'an City, Li Chengqian finally appeased Li Xin and Lu Yueshu, and took Hou Junji to discuss what they wanted to discuss.
Outside Chang'an City, one piece of news spread all over the sky.
The most important one is that the champion may have been ambushed and died.
The news spread more and more, and when those with ulterior motives learned that the champion's army in the north had been destroyed, they clapped their hands and applauded.
"There are no more Tang troops north of Chang'an! What can Li Chengqian and his father-in-law Hou Junji do with tens of thousands of people? The entire Tang Dynasty is about to be in chaos. This is an opportunity given to us by God!"
Some people couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and without any scruple, they began to contact those who had the same agenda as themselves and wanted to kill Li Tang. Replacement person.
But what these people don't know is that every move they make has a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.
Although some of them were the intelligence personnel of Pei Ji's earliest organization, these people had forgotten their original thoughts and were thinking seriously about their present and future without thinking about what would happen if they failed.
When the rumors continued to spread, Xu Yunyan once again took a few confidants to buy some things in the county town outside the mountains and forests where they were hiding.
As a general, even if he is asked to live in a stinky ditch, he can survive, but this time has not yet arrived.
You can't just ignore the appearance, especially the appearance of the champion, you have to be prepared, right?
Just after entering the county town, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but smacked his lips when listening to these messy news.
"Where is this? Why are we all ambushed? This is because we have hidden our traces. If we can't find us, our entire army will be wiped out? But this news is not bad. We can serve as a surprise force. ."
Xu Yunyan proudly touched his chin and thought about it, but Duan Kun next to him looked at Xu Yunyan's proud face and suddenly said something.
"General."
Xu Yunyan looked a little dissatisfied after Duan Kun spoke.
Duan Kun didn't know why.
Xu Yunyan also criticized Duan Kun harshly without reservation.
"Didn't you say you want to keep your identity secret? What do you want to do?"
Duan Kun felt a little embarrassed when he saw him there, but he still pretended to be calm and said something in front of Xu Yunyan.
"General, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time."
But just as Duan Kun finished speaking, he suddenly said another sentence.
"Do you really like to bury yourself so much? Why don't I let our tens of thousands of soldiers practice their funeral skills after returning to the camp? How about you practice with the general first?"
This time, Xu Yunyan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"Duan Kun, Duan Kun, do you really want me to die?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Duan Kun shook his head hastily.
"No! How could I want the general to die? Isn't it nice to see the general here? It's just that when I heard this mournful person saying that the general was killed in battle, the general was so happy. I thought the general wanted to live. Let’s see what the funeral for you looks like and whether the scale can satisfy the general.”
When Duan Kun said one sentence, Xu Yunyan's face became very ugly. "well!"
Xu Yunyan wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he had no choice but to sigh.
Xu Yunyan sighed heavily, not wanting to continue the current topic, and walked forward on his own.
Duan Kun, who was following him, took two steps forward and then shouted fiercely at Xu Yunyan several times.
Duan Kun really wanted to ensure that Xu Yunyan's identity would not be revealed. He called Xu Yunyan three times in a row, making Xu Yunyan look at him with an ugly face, wondering what Duan Kun was going to do.
Duan Kun pointed to the side.
"You see there is a funeral shop here. It has everything you need. How about I prepare everything?"
Xu Yunyan's face was dull and he cursed helplessly.
"Then you should hurry up and prepare."
Xu Yunyan left such angry words and turned around and walked forward. Duan Kun got Xu Yunyan's permission and rushed into the store immediately to start buying. A team of tens of thousands of people must need a lot of things.
Fortunately, Duan Kun, as one of the four mythical beast generals, has a relatively rich net worth. After Duan Kun entered the store and finally the store arranged several carriages to deliver things to Duan Kun, Duan Kun was so proud!
It's just that Duan Kun couldn't see Xu Yunyan after he came out, so he had no choice but to return with the items first.
Since their general wants to see what it will be like to cry when he dies, then he has to be satisfied, right?
But he couldn't let the general stand in front of him and say something wrong, taking the opportunity to make things difficult for him.
Duan Kun was so proud that he came outside the woods humming a tune and singing.
A temporary small teahouse that provided them with cover next to the woods appeared again on the roadside, and at the same time slightly circled the woods, turning them into their territory.
In this teahouse, there were dozens of Anbei soldiers who had been passers-by. When they discovered Duan Kun's arrival, they immediately swarmed over.
"Why are you back? Where is our young master? Why are we not together?"
Yes, the identity Xu Yunyan defined for them now is to call Xu Yunyan Young Master, and Duan Kun pointed at the things on the carriage.
"The young master had an accident. Look, this is what I brought back to mourn the young master. After taking it off quickly, let everyone equip it. Let's practice first."
"What? What did you say?"
Feng Wu, who didn't know why he appeared here, was startled.
"What did you say? The young master had an accident. How did you do anything?"
However, when Feng Wugang accused Duan Kun here, Duan Kun felt a little sad and looked at Feng Wu in front of him and said something.
"Isn't it that the young master wants to see what the scale of his funeral will be like? I have no choice but to prepare these items for this big living person to see what he will look like after death."
Feng Wu also looked a little ugly at this moment.
"What do their generals think? He is alive and well, but he wants to see what he looks like when he is buried?"
But since their general had already proposed it, they had to do it. But after sending away the delivery boy, Feng Wu looked at Duan Kun and asked.
"Can we talk now? Where is our general?"
"I do not know!"
As soon as Feng Wu finished asking, Duan Kun said directly that he didn't know. Feng Wu was so angry that he almost wanted to chop him with a knife.
"You don't know, so why don't you prepare these things? Do you hope that something will happen to our general?"
Feng Wu said this, and Duan Kun said with an innocent look on his face.
"It's unjust, it's really unjust! How can I hope that something unexpected will happen to the general? But the general really wants to do this!"
After Duan Kun kept saying that he was wronged, Feng Wu looked at him.
"Then you should tell me where the general went."
