Li Shimin was not surprised at all, but just smiled bitterly and said, "Since Brother Long already knows the identity of the young master of the Dark Sect, I think he can guess that the woman who left messages and warns the young master twice is Xiuning." Speaking of this, he looked at his sister who loved Youjia with a soft look. Before I could ask, he continued, "Don't be surprised, brother Long, you will understand when you listen to me." Then he told the story as it was.

It turned out that Li Xiuning married Chai Shao under the threat of Chai Shao. A year ago, Chai Shao had already salivated Li Xiuning's beauty, and what he valued more was the strong strength of the Li family. So he sent a stunning woman from the Dark Sect to Li Yuan, and finally gained Li Yuan's trust after all. However, Li Xiuning had no affection for Chai Shao at all and refused to interact with Chai Shao. In anger, Chai Shao made the Dark Sect woman around Li Yuan's food add chronic poison, but

Li Yuan's health was getting worse day by day, and he had to rely on Chai Shao's medicine to temporarily stop the pain that was thrust every day. In order to hold Li Yuan's life, Li Xiuning had to marry Chai Shao, but her hatred for Chai Shao was increasing day by day, so she secretly collected information from the Dark Sect and left me a letter warning twice. It was precisely because of the huge sacrifices made by Li Xiuning that the lives of many loyal ministers and generals of Li Tang were saved and the country of Li Tang were saved.

Li Yuan finally understood, but Li Xiuning, who had just seen the powerful underground forces of the Dark Sect, knew Chai Shao's ruthlessness. At that time, many officials in the Tang Dynasty who held real power were tightly attracted by Chai Shao through his identity as the son-in-law. If he rashly attacked the Chai family, it would not only fail to destroy the Chai family. The Tang Dynasty would also quickly collapse. Under the bitter persuasion of Li Xiuning and Li Shimin, Li Yuan endured it and secretly weakened the power of the officials close to the Chai family. Gradually weakened the influence of the Chai family on the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Yuan accidentally discovered Li

Jiancheng secretly colluded with Chai Shao, and with the help of Li Jiancheng's identity as the prince, he slightly retaliated. He even dared to compete with Li Yuan in the court. This made Li Yuan furious and wanted to abolish the prince Li Jiancheng. At this time, Li Jiancheng committed suicide by committing sexual misconduct in the harem. This made Li Yuan firmly determined this idea. Li Jiancheng was worried that his position as the prince would not be guaranteed, so at the instigation of Chai Shao, he decided to kill Li Yuan on the day of Li Yuan's birthday, so that Li Jiancheng could succeed the throne in advance with the identity of the prince, and then produce Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion in one fell swoop.

After learning the truth of the matter, Kou Zhong and I couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in our eyes when we looked at Li Xiuning. Unexpectedly, a princess like her, who is as strong as a golden branch and a jade leaf, is even better than those seven-foot men who claim to be heroes.

I frowned and asked Li Shimin: "Brother Shimin knows how much military power is in Li Jiancheng's hands?

Li Shimin replied without hesitation: "In addition, the imperial guards in the palace have a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses around Chang'an City. The four camps in the outer city are all 50,000 soldiers and horses in my palm, but the 40,000 city defense troops in the inner city are in the hands of my elder brother. General Wei Yongfeng only had 100,000 troops in Shangjun and Shuo. The general Ji Hong, who was left behind in Taiyuan, also had 100,000 soldiers and horses. If the matter begins, Ji Hongdi can arrive in Chang'an in four days to assist me. Although Wei Yongfeng's position is unknown, his

It will take at least ten days for the army to come. If the eldest brother really rebels on the day of his father's birthday, he would have to distribute at least 20,000 troops to resist the attack of the four battalions of the outer city, and the 10,000 imperial guards in the imperial city were enough to resist the remaining 20,000 city defense troops for ten days. With ten days, Ji Hong's troops had already arrived in Chang'an. The guards and horses of different Chang'ans, the soldiers stationed in Taiyuan had sufficient siege equipment, and with Ji Hong's troops helping him, they would definitely be able to capture Chang'an within two days."

I smiled, looked at Li Shimin and then looked at Li Xiuning beside me. I smiled and said, "Since Brother Shimin has already made plans and is sure to win. Why are you still making an appointment to come?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he suddenly said in a humble voice: "Brother Long, listen to me. What I just said was just a soldier from both sides. What I was most worried about was the endless masters of the Dark Sect. The existence of these people is the biggest threat to the 10,000 imperial guards in the Imperial City. It is no longer as proficient in assassination as regular military horses. The victory or defeat is no longer solved by the number of people. So I hope Brother Long can take action and deal with the killers of the Dark Sect. Li Shimin is very grateful!"

Stop Li Shimin, who was about to bow and bow. He said, "Don't worry, Brother Shimin. I have no choice but to deal with these people in the Dark Sect." After a pause, he looked at Li Shimin and said, "Brother Shimin seems to have forgotten Wei Yongfeng and the 13,000 elite wolf cavalry of the East and West Turks outside the city."

Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this. Then he smiled and said, "The Tuli Khan of the Eastern Turks and the Zhao Deyan of the Western Turks have reached an agreement with me and will not interfere with the family affairs of Li Tang. Wei Yongfeng's troops followed my orders to monitor the Turks' soldiers and horses every move. If they do any evil actions, they will definitely annihilate them."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, he was inevitably confused. Could it be that Yang Tian's special report on the secret contact between Wei Yongfeng and the Chai family was wrong? Could it be that Wei Yongfeng was a chess piece arranged by Li Shimin to Wei Yongfeng? Thinking of this, he said to Li Shimin: "According to the news of the 'Tianya Hai Pavilion', Wei Yongfeng and Chai Shao secretly communicated with the ditches. Brother Shimin had to be careful."

Li Shimin smiled faintly and said, "Brother Long, don't worry, Wei Yongfeng colluded with the people of the Dark Sect under my instruction. His original purpose was to call on the power of the Dark Sect in my Li Tang territory. The reason why his father was able to accurately weaken the image of the Dark Sect in the court was Wei Yongfeng."

I shrugged and said, "Since Brother Shimin said that, I am too careful. But I have a question to ask Brother Shimin."

Li Shimin paused and said with some surprise: "Brother Long, please tell me?"

"Brother Shimin thinks that Jiancheng Prince's land is as talented as you?" I asked with a smile.

Immediately heard my question, his face looked a little embarrassed, and I didn't know how to answer. Li Xiuning next to me interrupted, "Captain Jiancheng is just a little clever. How can he compare with the wisdom of his second brother?"

"Oh. That's right." I raised my eyebrows. I nodded. A smile appeared on my face as a matter of course. I said, "Brother Shimin If you are a Khan of the East Turkic Territory, who do you want to ascend to the throne of Li Tang?"

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning were stunned at the same time. They immediately suddenly realized and stammered with a puzzled look on their faces: "This..."

"Hehe, don't worry, King Qin. The Turkic root army was handed over to me. I want to see if the Turkic wolf army is more cruel or my 'wolf teeth' is sharper!" Kou Zhong patted his chest and agreed without waiting for Li Shimin to finish his sentence.

The basic matter has been discussed directly. This is a silent apology and Li Xiuning suddenly said: "Second brother, Young Marshal. Can you let me talk to Mr. Long alone? Xiuning wants to say something to him."

Li Xiuning's words made me feel a little ugly. Li Shimin and Kou Zhong looked at each other and retreated tactfully. Leave time for the two of us.

I immediately fell into silence in the secret room. Li Xiuning's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and sat there quietly. I walked to her side and sat down. I asked with a smile: "Since Xiuning's worries are so worried, why don't she say it?"

Li Xiuning raised her head, looked dim and said in a sad voice helplessly and self-deprecating voice: "Even if you say it, there will be no result?"

He stared at Li Xiuning's eyes and said word by word: "If you don't say it out, how can you know if there will be a result?" After pausing, I continued: "Is it really that simple to leave a letter to warn me just to retaliate against Chai Shao. The plan to destroy the Dark Sect? In fact, that night in the Huzhu area, I had already woken up from the time you stepped into the courtyard. From your every move, I could feel your deep affection for me. Why do you still deceive yourself? War is a matter for men. Since you only have hatred between you and Chai Shao, why do you still have to be so wronged and leave him to come to me."

Li Xiuning, who was told by me, looked a little panicked when she stared at her. Her sad expression was filled with the feeling of happiness, but this was just a flash of moment. She shook her head, and her voice was a little sympathetic, "No. I can't do that, I'm already a broken willow body, it's impossible between you and me."

"I don't care!"

"But I care!" Li Xiuning stood up "huo", her face was dull and haggard and pale cheeks full of sad tears, but her hysterical voice was filled with a kind of sadness that was not commensurate with her age. "Brother Tian. I don't know if you believe in love at first sight. But I believe. When I was only very young, I dreamed that my husband was a man who stood up and down. Since the moment I saw you at the Pegasus Ranch, I couldn't extricate myself fell in love with you. But I knew that it was just a luxury of my own. How could I be worthy of being a hero in the world?"

I stood up and was about to speak, but Li Xiuning stopped me, shook my head, and said softly: "No. Brother Tian, ​​don't say anything. Xiuning understands your heart, and I also know that Brother Tian is sincerely good to me. But this is Xiuning's fate. Maybe it was because he did evil things in his previous life. He should repay the happiness of this life." Speaking of this, he smiled faintly, but he lost the kind of sorrow he had just now. "Siu Ning always complained about God's injustice. Since I saw a man worthy of love for my whole life, I can't love. Now I finally understand that loving someone does not necessarily mean getting him. As long as he can be happy, as long as he understands my heart. No matter how many misfortunes are, Xiuning is willing to bear it!"

Li Xiuning threw herself into my arms, raised her toes, closed her eyes tightly. The four lips intersected with deep affection for saying no to ask for help. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, and the crystal clear tears were flowing along the pink and tender

Her skin gently slid. Her slender jade hands, as white as flawless jade, gently stroked my cheeks, and smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Xiu Ning will remember this taste for the rest of her life." After that, she left my arms and left quietly. I know that our trajectory will no longer be intersected with her in this life...

The Chang'an City was calm on the surface for four days after leaving Tiance Mansion. How could ordinary people see the murderous intent hidden behind the prosperity? Dugu Feng also ran to our residence, and was really hit by Zhu Yuyan. As soon as the girl met, she punched me without saying anything, and then threw herself into my arms and started crying. She was so happy that I tried all my strength, holding the smile on my chest, and finally moved all my love words out before I stopped.

She cried. In order to reduce the loss of "Wolf Fang", I asked the Dugu army to secretly draw 10,000 troops to assist Langya. Ji Hong personally led 70,000 troops to leave Taiyuan, and it is estimated that one day would arrive at the ambush designated by Li Shimin. According to the information from Hawkeye, Wei Yongfeng also led the 60,000 troops from Shangjun to arrive forty miles north of Chang'an City in two days, monitoring the every move of the Turkic soldiers.

Jing Wuming turned out to be Li Shimin's close friend. A year ago, his master died of a misunderstanding, so he took over the head of Jingzhao Lian, the most powerful gang near Chang'an. However, because he was still inexperienced, some of the gang's elders did not support it. Under Chai Shao's intention, most of the people in Jingzhao Lian had defected to the Dark Sect.

The most disabled person in these days is the Xiang family, and the condemnation of them is higher and higher. In just a few days, the Xiang family's industries in the entire Central Plains were divided up under the planning of those who were interested, and 70% of them fell into the pocket of the "Tianya Hai Pavilion". Only Xiangyushan, the Xiang family fled to the Turks, and the others died tragically under the stick of anger.
