Hua Gonggong conveyed the message of Li Wang Wuxin back to Lidu. On the third day, the concubine Li Xiuning led the crowd to Xuyi. They would meet Wuxin first and then go north back to the capital of the Tang Dynasty... Dongdu.
As one of the five princesses who left the country, Li Xiuning went home to visit her relatives and had important responsibilities, so she naturally received great attention.
On this trip, in addition to the eight maids, eight eunuchs, and ninety-nine and eighty-one female guards that Li Xiuning brought with him when he got married, Li Guo was also equipped with a Lotus Shadow Guard, four Xinwu Imperial Guards, and five hundred Xinwu Jingjing.
Wei and three thousand iron guards, and temporarily assigned General Wu Meng among the five generals to Li Xiuning. There will also be Gods and Demons Mansion and Shadow Mansion taking care of him secretly, but not in the open.
Such a lineup is enough to protect Li Xiuning and prevent most crises. After all, the Sui Empire will definitely be able to find out Li Xiuning's whereabouts. It is very likely that it can guess the intention of Li Xiuning's sudden return to the Tang Dynasty, and will definitely send people to sniper!
You know, when Li Wang Wuxin started his career, he only brought 500 Xinwu Iron Guards with him!
Of course, at this moment and that moment, Li Xiuning's actions attracted the attention of the world, and there must be many culprits secretly involved.
Who knew who Wu Xin was back then?
The Lord's Mansion of Xuyi City.
In the quiet courtyard, Wu Xin and Li Xiuning were alone in the pavilion. Xuyi City seemed to be filled with the lingering death and fighting spirit from the Jinhu battlefield, making the flowers, plants and trees somewhat withered and withered.
The breeze blew by, rolling up the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard, stirring up the mood of the two people in the pavilion...
Dozens of maids and guards were scattered in all directions, and the nearest one was more than a hundred meters away.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, it is difficult to hide the words in the pavilions from the strong Qi refiners, let alone the great monks, but no one dares to eavesdrop, or they will pretend not to hear them if they hear them.
"you lost weight!"
After looking at Li Xiuning quietly for a while, Wu Xin took Li Xiuning's cold little hand, patted the back of it, and said softly.
At this time, Li Xiuning obviously knew the situation of the Jinhu War and the current situation of the Tang Kingdom. His delicate and heroic face was a bit haggard and gloomy. Even his originally clear and bright eyes were obviously bloodshot. He must have been suffering from insomnia for many days!
"Do I have to fight?"
Li Xiuning's pretty face softened slightly, revealing a gentle look, and she asked in a hoarse and low voice, which was extremely sticky and magnetic, and had quite a charm.
This sentence alone shows that Li Xiuning has changed a lot since she married Li Guo, and is no longer as heroic and rational as before, otherwise she would not ask such useless questions.
Of course, it may also be related to Wu Xin's intentional arrangement.
Without Wu Xin's nod, the information from outside the palace could reach the hands of the four princesses, but the four princesses were unable to spread any decisions and arrangements out of the palace. As time went by, they were appointed and stayed in the palace with peace of mind and lived a peaceful life.
"Yes!" Wu Xin responded softly.
Li Xiuning's eyes turned red instantly, with tears in her eyes, and her face was about to cry.
"Even if we don't send troops, the Sui Empire will not miss such an opportunity. If the Sui Empire is allowed to retake the Eastern Capital, it will be difficult to deal with, and it may even be enough to make a comeback!"
Wu's heart softened, he gritted his teeth and explained in a hushed tone.
Of course, if the Li army was supporting the Tang State instead of attacking, the Tang State should be able to survive this disaster, but is it possible?!
Li Xiuning was thinking that Wu Xin would turn his attack into support, but he knew it was impossible, let alone said anything.
As his mind was spinning, Li Xiuning lowered his head to look at the ground and whispered: "After all, I am a member of Li Tang. I have to do my best after all. My king no longer needs to let General Wu Meng lead his army to accompany him!"
"Li Xiuning is Li Xiuning after all. She took the initiative to marry Li Guo, but she still cares about Li Tang. To say that, it is already a little tenderness that cherishes the kindness of a husband and wife for a day and a hundred days..."
Wu Xin frowned slightly, thinking in his mind, shook his head, and said with a wry smile:
"When you decided to get married and leave the country, you should have expected that this day would come. Why do you have to think so much?"
Li Xiuning was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Wu Xin with candid eyes, and said directly: "When I return to the Eastern Capital, I will join the army. It will be inconvenient for General Wu Meng to follow me, and it will also make things difficult for her!"
After a pause, without waiting for Wu Xin's reply, he quickly continued: "Don't worry, my king, I am not a weak person. It will be perfectly fine for me to return to the east. There is no need to mobilize troops like this. Now that our country is attacking the three countries at the same time, our troops are not enough..."
"The world-famous Detachment of Women? Is it going to be formed after all? This is a special force famous in ancient and modern times (previous lives), perhaps only second to Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army!"
Wu Xin felt a shiver in his heart, suddenly remembering what he knew about Li Xiuning in his previous life, and couldn't help but frown in thought.
What kind of world is this?
Why is it so magical? It has the shadow of the memory of the previous life, but it is completely different, which is quite surprising.
"Take it with you! Your whereabouts cannot be hidden from anyone. All the forces in the world will definitely not let you return to the country as you wish, especially the Sui Empire. Even some people in the Tang Kingdom do not want you to go back. Even Wu Meng and those who believe in martial arts
Wei, Gu is not worried enough!"
After thinking for a moment, Wu Xin shook his head slightly and explained. After a pause, he looked at Li Xiuning calmly and continued:
"Don't worry! To escort you back to Dongdu, you can let Wu Meng return directly to the country. It is best to stay in Dongdu. If the Sui army moves faster, she can also protect you and escape from Dongdu. How you choose depends on you.
I will tell Wu Meng that I will obey your orders..."
"Husband..."
Li Xiuning's heart was throbbing, and she shouted tremblingly, then whispered with determination: "If the Eastern Capital falls, I will not..."
"Gu Jin talks a lot and never lies. Among the four princesses at that time, Gu was the most optimistic about you and had the most favorable impression of you. Unfortunately, you care too much about your mother's family, and you must have a certain level of filial piety..."
Wu Xin frowned, waved his hands and said in a deep voice. He paused, ignored Li Xiuning's slightly changed and complicated expression, and quickly continued:
"The Eastern Capital will definitely fall. Even another five-nation coalition can't change the outcome! You have to fulfill your filial piety, and I can only promise you to give the family and friends of the Tang Dynasty King and Empress Tang and Concubine De a chance to spend their old age peacefully.
.If the king of Tang surrenders to Gu before the fall of Dongdu, Gu can give him the title of Duke of Tang, and Li Jiancheng, the brother of the concubine De, can also be granted the title of marquis. If he surrenders only when the situation is over, Gu can only give Li Tang an Anlehou, otherwise he will not be able to submit to civil and military officials.
Hundreds of officials explain..."
"Everything in the world is like a drama, and God's will is like this. What's the point of saying nothing? I thank my king for his love..."
Li Xiuning smiled bitterly, feeling a little sad, a little happy, and a little helpless. She bowed and thanked her. Then she continued:
"I will definitely convey my king's wishes. However, I have always had a doubt in my heart. My king has the world in mind and is quite tolerant. Why did he deliberately force his second brother (Li Shimin) to death?"
"De Fei should be very clear about the relationship between De Fei's second brother and Gu!"
Wu Xin thought for a while, responded frankly, and explained: "He was originally Gu's most valued subordinate, but he left without saying goodbye. Then he became Gu's most difficult opponent, and he targeted him because of his understanding. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs.
He is as smart as a ghost, but ambitious, and is by no means a person who is inferior to others. Gu can guarantee that if he does not die, even if the Tang Dynasty wins the world, he will kill his brother and father to seize the throne. Today's Tang Dynasty may not even have a chance to surrender.
No……"
"ah?!"
Li Xiuning covered her mouth in disbelief and exclaimed, her beautiful eyes staring at Wu Xin without blinking, but she saw that Wu Xin's eyes were calm and sincere, as if he was just stating a fact without adding any personal feelings.
"I understand, I understand..."
With a faint sigh, I looked up at the sky, my mind was like the low-hanging clouds in the sky, thick and layered, unable to distinguish, and my eyes were filled with empty sand.
The breeze stirs up dust and dead leaves, who is sighing in sorrow... (To be continued.)
