Su Dingfang chatted with his lieutenant, but this made several mythical beast generals not far away very dissatisfied.
"How is it possible? How could such a situation happen? Our general will never be eaten by a fish!
Someone come! Drain all the pond water for me, catch all the fish and disembowel them, and I want to see if there is any trace of our general. "
But just as they were trembling and talking like this, someone discovered incredible traces next to them.
"General! There are signs of fire here."
"Fire? How is that possible!"
In an instant, a group of people ran over and saw that there were indeed some traces of fire, and there were several bones in the traces.
"This... who is so bold as to burn other people's bodies here?"
But as soon as they finished speaking, they couldn't help but feel even more shocked.
"Wait! This...this isn't the champion, is it?"
Everyone was shocked. Although their minds were a little uncomfortable being blocked by the person just now. The champion could not escape the curse of fate, but he would not end up like this, right?
No, the champion will not be like this. It can only be said that the whereabouts of the champion are unknown.
After falling from the cliff, his whereabouts are unknown. This sounds like the result of an accident.
After Su Dingfang and others collected Xu Yunyan's armor, there were indeed some veterans who followed Xu Yunyan in the battle. Of course, they were the remaining team of less than a hundred people in the Anbei capital. Under the leadership of Li Kun, Feng Wu and Hou Ji, they took Wearing their helmets as buckets, they spared no effort to pour the water in the lake in front of them into the open space next to them, vowing to clear the water in the lake.
Clean up.
Looking at the three people who took the lead and persevered, Su Dingfang shook his head, "Why bother?"
Su Dingfang stepped forward and held the three of them.
"That's enough, don't do such unnecessary things anymore. Even if the champion is really in this lake, let him rest in peace here and suppress the Turkic thieves forever."
As soon as Su Dingfang finished talking about Li Kun, Feng Wu and Hou Ji turned around to point fingers at Su Dingfang. They saw that although Su Dingfang's words did not change, he was already crying like a tearful person, and they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Yeah, even if they found the champion in the end, wouldn't they still die here? It's better to leave some thoughts behind. His whereabouts are unknown, at least there is a possibility of survival."
Immediately, everyone looked like they had lost their backbone and stood there waiting for Su Dingfang's order. Su Dingfang did not disappoint them. He wiped the tears on his face and started shouting loudly.
"Use the best wood to build a coffin, containing the champion's armor. The burial objects are the flags of the wise kings of the Turks and the Sili Khan. We will send the champion back to Chang'an!"
"Going back to Chang'an?"
Su Dingfang's words made everyone stunned, but Su Dingfang continued to explain.
"The wife of the champion is in Chang'an City, and his home is in Chang'an City. Now that the war is over, let others do the rest. Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince still in the North? I don't think about anything now. No matter how your Majesty blames you, I want to escort the champion’s coffin back to Chang’an!”
After Su Dingfang finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Dingfang with gratitude in his eyes, and Su Dingfang shouted loudly.
"The whole army wears sackcloth and wears mourning, sending
The champion returns to Chang'an. "
Su Dingfang made arrangements. Thousands of Tang troops at the scene quickly cleared the battlefield and cut down the best wood that could be seen to build a coffin for Xu Yunyan. On the front of the coffin were written the names of the champions of the Tang Dynasty. Big letters. Then many soldiers processed the white cloth they brought with them to wrap their wounds in battle and their bodies after death into a suitable shape, and headed towards Chang'an wearing sackcloth and mourning.
On the official road from Jinling to Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, the two teams marched talking and laughing, of course among themselves.
Although they kept talking and laughing there, from time to time they would take a look at the person in their carriage who looked more like a mascot than a prince they respected. This was Li Tang's prince, and he was just a pet that they beat and scolded at will. Just a dog.
Li Tai was called a dog. He looked dumbfounded and would not react in any way.
What's more, he had done this reaction many times, and every time he was either beaten with a bruised face or not given food, even in a carriage, but this carriage was not much better than a prison.
On the other side, Li Ke is also being ridiculed by these people, and he will definitely make you pay the price you deserve.
Li Ke didn't negotiate too much with them from the beginning, and let them keep making fun of him, pretending he didn't hear them.
After the night was quiet, Li Ke looked around at the people who felt that he would not pose any threat, and went to rest early. He himself tiptoed down from the carriage, looked around and tiptoed. He ran outside with a bang.
"I am free!"
Li Ke was very happy, he finally ran out of the cage
Got it!
Li Tai went to Yangzhou, and Li Ke went to Zhenjiang. Neither Niu Jinda of Yangzhou nor Changsun Shunde of Zhenjiang were easy-going people. They had already arranged soldiers and horses to surround the city in front of them, and even sent cavalry to roam around. See if anyone will come to support them or cause trouble for you.
"Nothing can happen. I am the only Tang Army here, His Majesty Chang'an's Tang Army!"
There is an arrangement from above and it needs to be carried out below.
Soon, everyone discovered two teams coming from the direction of Jinling.
Although the number of people was not large, since it was a team coming from Jinling, it meant that their enemies had not escaped.
Several cavalrymen gathered together to discuss.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
"What else can be done? Leave two people here to keep an eye on their whereabouts, while the others hurry back and report to the general, who will make a decision."
The commander of the Tang army told him his plan, and the two soldiers nodded hurriedly.
"Then the two of us stay!"
The captain nodded.
"You must hide and be ready to join us at any time. We will report back to the general. Maybe it won't be long before we lead our troops to deal with them. By then, both of you will have done a great job."
After the Tang Army commander finished speaking, he rushed forward quickly, walking through the woods towards the path, so that his whereabouts could not be discovered by others.
However, they had just moved forward not far when the cavalry captain waved his hand.
"Stop!"
Such a scene made the two Tang soldiers following him stunned.
"What's wrong, Captain? Aren't we in a hurry to go back and report to the general? Why did we stop advancing?"
"There's someone ahead!"
The cavalry captain said this again and then pointed forward, and his two younger brothers followed his finger and looked over.
Sure enough, there was a figure in the shadows ahead, moving quickly through the woods.
He didn't look like a sergeant at all. He didn't have the fake flesh of a sergeant. Although he couldn't see clearly when he ran casually in the night, his clothes could bring up black shadows.
It always feels so awkward.
Everyone thought that this was not a big show, why was it so complicated to wear it in the woods? Aren't you afraid of getting hung up on your clothes, or are you quite rich and willful?
Although these soldiers were not very clear about what was going on in front of them, they still rushed forward quickly to ensure their actions.
No hidden dangers can be left behind!
Li Ke, who was running forward for his life, suddenly heard such a movement and looked back and was instantly startled.
cavalry?
It's actually a cavalry!
They found themselves using cavalry to chase them, which was abominable! They don't even care about the many restrictions on cavalry in the woods, just to catch themselves. It seems that they still have a lot of weight in their hearts.
Li Ke thought this, but he kept moving forward quickly, avoiding the cavalry who came to search for him.
However, these three elite cavalrymen of the Tang Army were not for nothing. They looked at the figures hiding in front of them and said with a smile.
"Little chicken, there's no need to run. I haven't seen you. If you run again and don't stop, we're going to shoot."
The three men laughed and threatened Li Ke, but Li Ke didn't even look back and said unhappily.
"If you have the ability, shoot me to death with an arrow. Look at my father.
Will I spare you? You use these excuses to threaten me every day. Do you think I am afraid? The worst possible outcome is death. I, Li Tang, only have clans that died in battle, and I will never have any clans that are coerced into surrender by you! "
Li Ke finished speaking solemnly, leaving the people in front of him stunned.
"Wait! You...are you from the Li Tang clan?"
Hearing this sentence, Li Ke couldn't help but stand up straight.
"What? Don't you know that I am King Wu Li Ke? Don't you want to use me to do shameful things? Why are you still pretending now?"
"King Wu? Li Ke?"
The cavalryman was stunned for a moment, but a person next to him said hurriedly.
"That's not right! Your Majesty has already demoted him to a commoner by depriving him of his title. He is just an ordinary person! He is not in the clan, but he is still the King of Wu Li Ke in Tiantian? It is really whimsical to claim himself as a king!"
Li Kegang wanted to reply to them a few words, letting them know that even if he was deprived of the title of king, he was still Li Shimin's son.
But he was suddenly startled, as if he heard the meaning of their words, he seemed to have remembered something.
"What did you mean by what you just said? Are you the Tang Army from my father's side?"
"What do you think? We are under General Niu Jinda Niu!"
The cavalry captain said this, and Li Ke burst into tears for a moment.
"One of our own! Finally met one of our own!
It was they who coerced me. They caught me and wanted to do that shameful thing, probably to go to Yangzhou and let you throw yourself into the rat machine. I ran out. "
"Really? It doesn't matter if we talk about this matter."
The cavalry captain saw Li Ke crying and admitting his mistake, so he said lightly.
This made Li Ke couldn't help but feel a toothache. You don't care, so what are you talking about in front of me?
Li Ke felt unhappy, but the person in front of him had already told the truth, and Li Ke had no choice but to say it in front of him.
"I have always been a good boy. When my father arranged for me to control the river water, I went to control the river water.
It's just that those aristocratic families are so abominable that they dared to besiege Luoyang in my name, and even took me to Jinling to be their puppet.
Now they are taking me to Yangzhou to do the things that make you jealous. I have made it clear that I was wronged!
You must take me to see your General Niu. As long as I meet your General Niu, this matter will come to light. "
"That's fine!"
When the cavalry commander heard what Li Ke said, he didn't know what to choose.
He knew that Li Ke and Li Tai besieged Luoyang in the name of Qing Junzhi, but in the end they were defeated by a strange combination of circumstances and it became a big joke.
After Li Ke met this man, he couldn't help but look in another direction, as if he could see Li Tai who was also imprisoned across thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Just wait. As long as I get in touch with my father's people first, I will still be my father's best son."
