Li Ke and Li Tai understand the embarrassing situation they are in now, and are still thinking about getting rescued and getting the treatment they deserve.
But after the person who appeared showed his identity, the two of them were already ashen-faced. Yes! Their Qing Junce bet was that their father had passed away, but now their father appeared again, which made it difficult for the two of them to figure out what to do.
Although they were rescued, they knew that what awaited them was not enjoyment, but punishment.
How could their father allow them to do wrong things without paying the price? Although the two looked ugly, they were still rescued, and at least they could live a slightly better life.
After the stranger appeared out of nowhere and took Li Tai and Li Ke away from the camp, the whole camp became chaotic.
There were curses everywhere, and fire dragons composed of torches shot out from the camp to search in all directions. These were the people in the camp. They finally knew that Li Tai and Li Ke were missing, and Li Tai and Li Ke followed the people in front of them and marched forward in the dark. After meeting with the remaining seven or eight rescuers, the two finally It was a relief.
But before they could take a deep breath, one of these people said something.
"We, the Jin Yiwei, finally showed respect for His Highness the Crown Prince and rescued these two guys. We will see how we will deal with them after His Highness the Crown Prince comes back from the North." Li Tai and Li Ke couldn't help but feel shocked at this moment.
Jinyiwei! They knew this name, and knew that Li Chengqian had formed such a team, but the people in front of them were actually Jin Yiwei's men?
What a shame, it actually fell into the hands of Li Chengqian. How could Li Chengqian make it easy for them? Maybe the two of them would be gone for no reason.
Li Tai and Li Ke, who were trembling in their hearts, looked at each other and saw the determination in their eyes.
You absolutely can't go back, you have to find a way to escape. This time the two temporarily became the same camp.
In Chang'an, Li Shimin was busy with Li Yuan's funeral. Suddenly, another urgent message rushed into the palace where Li Shimin was.
Li Shimin had just put on the clothes to worship his elders and was going to go to Li Yuan's coffin to offer sacrifices to Li Yuan. Of course, the coffin was empty except for a few sets of Li Yuan's clothes.
Suddenly seeing the soldier rushing in, Li Shimin asked.
"What's going on in the North? Could it be that my prince has come to retaliate for defeating the Turks?" Li Shimin was very happy in his heart. His prince had never let him down.
No matter which one. In the north, Li Chengqian defeated the Turks with a small amount and a large amount, which was his father's style. It's just that Li Shimin just asked the doubts in his heart here, and the soldier in front of him said it hurriedly.
"That's not the case for Your Majesty, but His Highness the Crown Prince has been defeated." The messenger said and handed over the letter in his hand.
Li Shimin was shocked.
"What's going on? Wasn't it defeated? We already won the first game, why did we lose again?" The soldier hurriedly told Li Shimin about Manila's expulsion of the remnants of the Tang army and the population impact on Li Chengqian's camp, and Li Chengqian's What he did also caused huge waves in Li Shimin's heart.
"My prince is worthy of being my most outstanding child, and worthy of being the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. What he did was correct, even if the casualties were too heavy, it was worth it." After finishing his emotion, Li Shimin looked at the messenger and asked.
"How is the Crown Prince doing now? How are the generals?" Li Shimin was still worried about the safety of his Crown Prince and the generals under his command.
"I don't know how many generals and schools will be damaged by such a huge fortune." The messenger immediately looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Except for Zhang Sun Chong, all of the Tiance Guards are unharmed. As for General Hou, except for the deputy generals, there are only ten to seventy-eight generals. None of the Prince Guards survived." In an instant, Li Shimin's heart was as sharp as a knife.
"Despite such a loss of troops, it won't be a problem for a few men to destroy this Turkic army." As soon as Li Shimin said this, he couldn't help but think that Manila was still safe and sound. If he could do such a crazy thing once, he would be able to do it. Out twice.
Li Shimin was a little angry
"This Manila is really hateful. It is so unscrupulous to confront the Tang Dynasty in such a hurtful way. What should I do if I encounter it?" Although Li Shimin was struggling here, he still waved his hand to signal the soldiers to return.
"You go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince that when the affairs in Chang'an are over, I will immediately lead the troops north to help him so that he does not have to worry too much. Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. He defeated more with less. It is already a rare good story, and it is even more so. In order to save the people of the Tang Dynasty, we fell into this situation. However, although he has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, but according to what you said, the Turks don't have many left? There is no need to worry about joining the left and right soldiers and horses in the north." Li Shimin said it very lightly, but the soldiers also knew the risks involved. What should they do if the Turks came again to expel the Tang people and attack their camp?
Retreat? Or fight to the death? Or let nature take its course? However, although Li Shimin was struggling with how to do such a thing, he finally sighed, adjusted his clothes, and walked out.
For the sake of justice, he must complete Li Yuan's funeral today and not admit that Li Yuan of Jinling is real, otherwise some people will do whatever they want.
What's more, Li Yuan is getting older, and if someone really gets caught, Li Tang will be in a raging war, and it will be difficult for him to implement benevolent government. The people of Dawn can rest and recuperate, and this kind of situation will happen again, which is not what they want to see.
Just after Li Shimin came out in white clothes, many courtiers were also dressed in similar clothes and prepared to worship Li Yuan with their emperor.
Li Shimin did not immediately lead them to worship the Supreme Emperor and see him off. Instead, he stood at the door of the hall and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, today we will first sacrifice our compatriots who died for our Tang Dynasty. We will also pay tribute to the soldiers who fought for our Tang Dynasty until the last moment. We will also pay tribute to our ancestors who sang and cried." Li Shimin's sudden shout made everyone present. The person was stunned.
Just when everyone was stunned here, Li Shimin spoke up.
"The Turks are not sons of man, and they dared to drive their population to attack our army. And their prince, His Highness, did not hesitate. In order to save them, he took the lead and entered the enemy's formation. Although he was defeated, he still gained a lot of military exploits. At least our nation We have not lost our pride, we have not left behind the reputation of being indifferent to our compatriots, and we have not left our compatriots to be slaughtered by others." Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Chengqian, and after leading them to sacrifice the heroes, they began to follow the steps of the priest Li Yuan, and sent Li Yuan off.
As for the news of Li Chengqian's defeat, it began to spread throughout the country today. Some people applauded, and some were really sorry.
The applause was not to celebrate Li Chengqian's defeat, but to say that with a wise king like Li Chengqian, even if the Tang Dynasty was in chaos, as long as he held the world in his hands, he would definitely be a king who created miracles.
But those who feel sorry are there to feel sorry for the Tang Dynasty. Why bother? When everyone wanted it so much, Li Yuan ran to Jinling and became emperor. There was still an emperor in Chang'an.
Instead of gathering all their strength to destroy the foreign enemies, they were able to fight first. What was going on?
Once the people suffer from fighting, why do the people suffer? Although there are many people with lofty ideals who are constantly lamenting the world, what is going on?
Whenever the people of the world can enjoy happiness, there will be a scene that they don't want to see. But just when everyone is muttering about when the world will be peaceful again, Feng Dian sleeps in the open and travels day and night to escort King Wu and Wei. Wang's troops returning to Chang'an were indeed going crazy.
"How is that possible?" The leader looked at the person next to him and said.
"How could this happen? King Wu and King Wei actually ran away. What did you do for food?" The leader loudly scolded the people in front of him, and the people in front of him were a little speechless.
They didn't know what was going on. King Wu and King Wei had been following their team faithfully, but suddenly they took a shortcut through the woods. When they were resting, they found that the two highnesses were missing. .
When the leader who went out to purchase supplies for them came back and saw such a scene, he became furious and wanted to go forward and kill them. But now that the situation was like this, what could they do?
As for the two brothers in distress, the King of Wu and the King of Wei, they were finally on the same page this time. Seeing themselves escaping from Jin Yiwei's hands, the two hugged each other without any scruples and laughed.
"It's out, it's finally out." But just as the two were cheering, there was a sudden roar of a tiger, which made them tremble.
"Isn't it just out of the wolf's mouth and then into the tiger's mouth? Isn't it always said that just out of the tiger's mouth, then into the wolf's mouth? Or something?" Because of fear, the two of them didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only tremble towards The sound came from the other direction and rushed quickly.
But these two people ran very fast and found the tiger they wanted to use as food. They rushed towards them, howling as they rushed.
Such a scene was so frightening that the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? Are we really going to die?" Just as the two of them were hugging each other and crying, the tiger was about to appear. They kept crying and shouting. More than a dozen people wearing Men dressed in animal skins appeared around them.
"You two brothers, don't worry. We are the tiger hunting team at the foot of the mountain. We are just here to deal with this evil tiger. If you encounter us, you don't have to worry."
"Okay, great!" Li Tai and Li Ke didn't expect to be rescued at such a life-and-death moment, and they cheered.
Although their clothes were very luxurious, they had lived as prisoners for a period of time and were so dark that it was impossible to tell what their current status was.
However, the news that King Wei and Wang were missing and could not be traced quickly spread to Li Yuan's ears from the wealthy family.
Li Yuan knew the news reported to him by the aristocratic family. After the defeat of the king of Wei and the king of Wu, they were coerced by them and prepared to come to him.
I was very happy at that time. Having one of my own here, whether they were puppets or not, was still better than the Xie family.
At this moment, Li Yuan was still imagining that he had the support of his two eldest grandsons. He was fighting against those who did not take him seriously and only used himself to find the rights they should have to protect the Li family.
But this time the two disappeared, which gave Li Yuan unnecessary thoughts. These people must have hurt my two grandchildren, otherwise why would my two grandchildren be missing?
Even if they fail, they won't ignore me as a grandfather, right? Li Shimin no longer recognizes them. Now that I recognize them, how come they don't come to me as a grandfather?
