******

Li Yuan sat blankly in Ningbi Pavilion, as if he were mourning his heir.

Li Yuan has shown similar expressions in the past, because Ningbi Pavilion is the residence of his favorite concubine Zhang Jieyu, and Zhang Jieyu's strange illness has been a long-standing problem. He has some thoughts about this fragrant and beautiful concubine. With some real feelings, I feel heartache when I think of how weak he is lying on the bed!

But that kind of heartache is nothing compared to the current fear of decline from the inside out. It’s right to think about it. If the concubine dies, you can still recruit her again, but if the throne is lost, everything will be over!!

Li Tang has come to this point and has no retreat. No matter who will dominate the world in the future, it is impossible to tolerate the Li family and his son!!!

"Gao Xu..." he muttered the name that enveloped him like the most terrifying nightmare. The scene where his subordinates came to report that Gao Xu entered the city and summoned an army out of thin air seemed to reappear in front of his eyes. At that time, Li Yuan fell down. And he didn't get up for a long time, even the eunuch's support was useless!

Like Li Jing, Li Yuan immediately thought of the strategic use of this move. If Gao Xu sneaked into the imperial city at night with his peerless skills that could kill the martial master Bi Xuan, and then recruited a large army, then...

As a result, Li Yuan became like this bear.

You can't blame him. Li Yuan didn't go through too many hardships. The rebellion was launched under the pressure of his son. Later, Li Shimin conquered the country and built a great empire for the Li family. Even if Li Yuan didn't enjoy the success, he played a role. The effect is also minimal.

In fact, looking at Li Yuan's performance in the main plot of The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, except for being set up by Yang Xuyan and Dong Shuni to become a father and being ousted from the throne by Li Shimin during the Xuanwumen Incident, the others are all comparable to the protagonists of Destiny. It's a pity that as soon as Gao Xu appeared, his plug-in was shut down by the server, and now his account is about to be blocked!

How could he not panic, fear, fear, or feel sad?

In this case, Li Shimin asked for a consultation and brought a miracle doctor, who actually diagnosed the real cause of Zhang Jieyu's strange disease, poisoning!

Fenjing Powder is specially effective for people who do not know martial arts and have weak constitutions, especially women. The poisoned person will suffer from menstrual qi imbalance, which will greatly reduce his ability to fight diseases. This poison is colorless and odorless, because it only indirectly affects people's health. , the process is long and slow. Therefore, even a first-rate doctor cannot detect that the patient is poisoned!

However, once it is confirmed that it is poisoning, it is not particularly difficult to get rid of it. The miracle doctor brought by Li Shimin solved the strange disease in three strokes, five in five and two in two. Li Yuan sat next to Zhang Jieyu and inserted his right hand into the embroidery. "The chapter is updated the fastest" Quiet held her hand tightly and looked at the beloved concubine lovingly, but her mind was not on the beauty in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, she stopped Li Shimin who was about to leave. Looking at the second son who was not usually liked by him, he pretended to be calm. He asked: "What's going on over there with the Holy Son?"

Li Shimin replied calmly: "I am temporarily staying in Fuju Building. I am located on the third floor and enjoy the scenery around the Yuanma Bridge and Yong'an Canal. According to my speculation, there is a great possibility that Duke Yang's treasure house is in that area!"

Li Yuan frowned even more when he heard this. As of now, he no longer covets Yang Gong's treasure house. If Gao Xu can agree to take Yang Gong's treasure house, he will leave and make a solemn oath as a disciple. He promises to give the treasure to him. , It’s a pity that people always refuse to drink wine as a penalty. Li Jiancheng’s siege has already put the two sides in the opposite direction...

Wanting to be here, Li Yuan unconsciously felt a strong dissatisfaction with Li Jiancheng. How could he be so impetuous and impatient?!

In comparison, Li Shimin is still calm, and Zhang Jieyu is the best example. In Li Yuan's opinion, Li Shimin must have been secretly working hard to find experts from all sides, and only reported it today when he was absolutely sure!

I remember last night, Concubine Yin De, who had always criticized Li Shimin, inadvertently praised Li Shimin. Li Yuan reflected on himself for the first time, whether he had been too harsh on the second son who contributed the most to Li Tang, and couldn't help but ask

After some countermeasures, Li Shimin respectfully repeated what he said a few days ago. At that time, Li Yuan heard it in one ear and out the other, but now he felt it was very reasonable. He nodded and said: "Shimin, your Tiance Mansion is responsible for

In the conquest of the country, there are many talents and the most experience! I originally thought that Jianghu means were enough to deal with the Holy Son, but now it seems that it is unrealistic. In this way, you will order Liu Zhengjiang to block the three official gates of Tongxunmen, Tongmingmen and Jiamen.

!”

Li Shimin was startled for a moment. These three official gates are no small matter. Tongxun Gate is the only passage between the East Palace and Taiji Palace. Jiamen and Tongming Gate connect Yeting and Taiji Middle Palace. Once blocked, Li Jiancheng will return to Taiji Palace.

You can only enter the palace through Chengtian Gate or Xuanwu Gate.

Of course, Li Yuan will not consider Li Jiancheng's convenience at this moment. What he wants is his own safety. Limiting access to two gates will naturally make the defense much more stable...

It is not surprising that Li Yuan issued this order in order to guard against Gao Xu. What is strange is that he asked Li Shimin to pass the order to Liu Zhenghui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the meaning expressed is quite intriguing~~

"In addition to Liu Zhenghui, I will let Shen Tong and Pei Ji assist you. Don't let me down!" Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and his tone suddenly became softer. He stood up and put his hand on Li Shimin's shoulder, patting him heavily.

Different from the hint just now, this sentence is an obvious commission!

Li Shentong is Li Yuan's younger brother, and his prestige in the world is even greater than that of his brother. He is good at using the three-armed halberd to chop, peck, cut, and stab in various ways. He is well-known in the north and is the number one master of the Li clan!

Pei Ji is one of Li Yuan's "close ministers". His deep relationship with Li Yuan is only comparable to that of Liu Wenjing. Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and Feng Deyi are all inferior. More importantly, Pei Ji is in charge of the general guard of Chang'an.

Department, this heavy force stationed at Xuanwu Gate was originally commanded by Li Yuan personally, and was on duty, responsible for the defense of the palace!

Xuanwumen is a department that Li Jiancheng has always wanted to control but has been unable to infiltrate, because the four generals and eight deputy generals of the General Guard Department are all trusted generals selected by Li Yuan personally. He comes from a wealthy family and is familiar with the battles of the royal family.

He definitely didn’t want to become the emperor early. But now he has handed over the power to Li Shimin, which shows his expectations for him...

In view of this, Li Shimin's brows were filled with excitement and fighting spirit, and his loud voice echoed in the inner garden of Ningbi Pavilion:

"My son will never disappoint his father!"

******

After leaving the palace city, Li Shimin's excited expression disappeared.

There is no way, no father and son in the world, especially among the royal family, will like a son who is too deep in the city and whose thoughts are completely unpredictable, so deliberately showing an excited look is a necessary move to forgive Li Yuan's heart.

On the other hand, everyone in Tiance Mansion suddenly became energetic. On the battlefield, they were invincible commanders who frightened the enemy. But when they returned to Chang'an, they faced a completely different way of fighting, with conspiracies and tricks, and they used all kinds of tricks.

, and Li Jiancheng is the rightful heir to the throne after all. Certain things should be done as a matter of course. Once Tiance Mansion follows suit, it will be an overstep. No wonder they are completely at the disadvantage of being beaten...

Good now. Under Gao Xu Ruyuan's prison-like pressure, Li Yuan finally recognized who was Li Tang's mainstay. As long as the Emperor of Tang changed his attitude, Li Jiancheng would be more content and they would be much more relaxed...

At least at this moment, most of the generals in Tiance Mansion focused their attention on the crisis in front of them, and did not think too far ahead until a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.

At the main invitation of the Holy Son Gao Xu, Li Jiancheng entered Fuju Building for negotiations, accompanied by two close confidants, Xue Wanche and Feng Liben.

"Your Highness, Gao Xu's move is extremely vicious. He wants to divide and sow the brotherhood between you and the prince!" In an instant, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling exclaimed in unison. Their words were actually a bit ridiculous. Li Jiancheng

The discord with Li Shimin was the cause of the disaster that was planted the moment Li Yuan became emperor and established the crown prince. There is no need to provoke it. It's just that the discord has not been fully exposed. If Gao Xu intervenes, it will be huge.

Because it’s different…

It is completely conceivable for the two great counselors of Tiance Mansion that if the negotiation conditions proposed by Gao Xu and Li Jiancheng involve not only Yang Gong's treasure house but also Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng will definitely be overjoyed and go along with the situation, agree to the other party's unequal treaty, and put Li Shimin at risk.

A dangerous situation!

And don't look at Li Yuan's support for Li Shimin just now. It was because of the pressure from the outside world.

It has been completely reversed in a short period of time. If Li Shimin is sacrificed, Gao Xu can be sent away. Will Li Yuan accept this stupid choice that is obviously a poison to quench his thirst?

It’s really hard to say!

Of course, no matter how far they go, Li Shimin and Tiance Mansion will not be able to surrender and be slaughtered by others. They will definitely fight back. Unfortunately, Li Tang implements the government army system. After the war, he goes home and the government soldiers return to their fields, just like ordinary people. If

If Chang'an, the capital city, wants to recruit soldiers, it must first send military symbols to the local prefectures and counties. The governors of the prefectures and counties and the Zhechong guards will jointly verify that the military symbols are correct before sending troops.

Just imagine if Li Shimin raised an army to resist, he would first have to obtain military symbols from Li Yuan, then wait a lot of time, and finally mobilize in a big way. How could he not alert Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji? There is no doubt that Tiance Mansion would be destroyed before the soldiers arrived.

Nine tribes...

Not long ago, Li Shimin repeatedly asked Li Yuan to allow him to send troops to attack Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, who were eyeing Taiyuan. However, Li Jiancheng and his concubines made suggestions and sabotaged them. It was because they were afraid that Li Shimin, seeing that the situation was not good, would support his troops outside and attack on his own.

Chang'an!

Li Shimin, who has military power, is invincible in every battle and can conquer all attacks; Li Shimin, who has no military power, relies on the power of Li Jiancheng's gang leader Yang Wenqian and the large number of masters he recruits, which is enough to defeat Tiance Mansion!

In view of this, if the situation develops as expected, Gao Xu will dismantle and overthrow Li Tang without spending a single blow!!!

Everyone present, including Li Shimin, felt a chill, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. After several minutes, Yuchi Jingde's voice rang out: "Your Highness, instead of being beaten passively, it is better to strike preemptively and take advantage of your Majesty's opportunity to attack Xuanwu."

We are entrusted with a heavy responsibility, we..."

"Shut up!!!" Li Shimin suddenly interrupted in the middle of the sentence. His sharp eyes glared at Yuchi Jingde, who was speechless. He said word by word, "Don't mention this matter again. Who dares to do this again?"

Such thoughts, don’t blame me for not thinking about friendship!”

I have never seen Li Shimin become so angry. The generals of Tiance were shocked for a while. After a while, Changsun Wuji said in a roundabout way: "Your Highness, I must not give up the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty."

Outsiders! In this special period, there is nothing we can do except this method..."

"Don't say it anymore, don't say it... No matter what, he is my eldest brother..." As soon as he said this, Li Shimin's whole body trembled, and a heavy look of sadness appeared in his eyebrows. His tone couldn't help but become much weaker, and he put it down.

After saying something of unknown meaning, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, leaving behind only his subordinates who looked at each other in confusion, and their eyes gradually became firmer.

"His Royal Highness has a kind heart and cares for all the people. Unfortunately, the devil Gao Xu has appeared, and he has conspired and plotted to disrupt our Tang Dynasty, forcing our brothers to fight against each other. Let us... take full responsibility for this eternal infamy!"

******

"Unlimited work" "Master Immortal, please rest assured. Although my second brother is ignorant and refuses Immortal Master's kindness, my father and I are both sensible people. We will definitely persuade him to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with Immortal Master.

Cultivation of the Way of Heaven..."

Li Jiancheng's voice of fear and uncontrollable joy was still echoing in his ears. While looking leisurely at the Prancing Horse Bridge not far away, Gao Xu curled up the corners of his mouth and murmured: "Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng, you are still too heartless."

You think everything will be fine if you send Li Shimin away? If you let him live, I wonder if he will let you go?"

"Li Jiancheng is responsible for the city defense of Chang'an, but Li Shimin has no soldiers. Even if Li Shimin wants to resist, he probably won't be able to!" A pair of jade arms wrapped around Gao Xu from behind, and she put her head on his back.

, Yuhan asked in confusion.

"Back then, it was different when Buddhism and Shi Zhixuan hooked up... Li Yuan'er has a weak heart, and becomes more useless as he gets older. He is easily bewitched by concubines. In addition, Li Jiancheng is indeed not as capable as Li Shimin. Maybe he will be entrusted with power soon.

"It's..." Gao Xu smiled slightly and said the second link to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, which was also the most fatal link.

The fall of the Tang Dynasty came from within!

"But even if Li Shimin has the power to fight back, he will be afraid of our existence and dare not attack. If he takes the initiative to provoke the tragedy of brotherly hostility, he must succeed. If he fails, he will be benevolent!" Huanwan thought carefully and proposed a new idea.

He was confused, but saw Gao Xu pointing at the Leaping Horse Bridge from a distance and spitting out four words, "Yang? Gong? Treasure? Treasury!"

Huanwan's beautiful eyes completely lit up. Yes, isn't the day when Yang Gong's treasury is opened, which is enough to attract the attention of all forces, the best time for Li Shimin to launch an attack?

Fortunately, Gao Xu thought about everything and even gave the opportunity to the enemy generously!

"I'll lay the trap. If Li Shimin is really a benevolent gentleman and is the same on the outside, then he should give up all his glory and wealth and live in seclusion in the mountains with the Holy Son. If he isn't..." Gao Xu's face turned cold and he said slowly, "I'll let him

People all over the world should take a good look at what a sad joke it is that the Mingjun of the world, the True Dragon who is the savior of the world, is chosen by Buddhism to support!!!"

Hanhan's breathing immediately became rapid. The Demonic Sect and the Buddhist Sect have been hostile for hundreds of thousands of years. They have been dreaming of destroying their opponents in all directions for an unknown amount of time. Now they are finally one step away. You can imagine the excitement in Hanhan's heart.

The favorability score instantly soared to ninety-nine points, just one point away from perfection...

Huanwan is known as the ever-changing elf and has a changeable personality. She is probably the most difficult plot character to increase her favorability in the same difficulty. After all, she was almost defeated by Gao Xu. Gao Xu, who was full of ambition, embraced Huanhanxiang's soft and delicate body.

**, after discussing the details, suddenly asked: "Have you found that person? Next, he is also a very useful chess piece!"

"Don't worry while we work, Lord Shengzi~~~!" Huanwen joked in a good mood, pretending to listen attentively, "Look, isn't it coming?"

"" A moment later, a round, fat figure was thrown into the side room, climbed up in a panic, and looked at Gao Xu with a bit of disbelief in fear. He was none other than the eight masters of the Demon Sect, the master of the Tianlian Sect, and the most powerful Shi Zhixuan.

Trust Ma Zai Anlong!

"Uncle An Shi, are you alright when you come?" Gao Xu's tone was the same as the first meeting in Hefei a few months ago, but the status of the two parties was completely different. As soon as the protective umbrella Shi Zhixuan was lost, Anlong was immediately found and surrounded by the Yingui faction.

Du, outnumbered, captured, and with all face lost. At this moment, looking at Gao Xu and Huan Huan hugging each other, in a trance, I seemed to see the Evil King and the Yin Queen from decades ago, leading the Demon Sect hand in hand, and the Tao disappeared.

Demon Chief, the sun is in the sky!

"Hmph, this kid named Gao only knows how to play tricks and cling to Yin Gui. How can he be compared with Brother Shi?!" An Long shook his head and snorted unwillingly. He was about to say something to show his unyielding backbone.

Seeing Gao Xu let Huan Huan stand up, he sat aside and said to him, "Uncle An Shi, I know you are dissatisfied. Now I will give you a chance. As long as you can take my three moves without defeat, I will let you go An Ran."

Leave and offer holy water to help you heal the crippled Luo Jian..."

"Is this true?" Anlong glanced at Huanwan with great fear, and then felt the ambush around him. He found that the Yingui people who had kidnapped him here had actually left, and he couldn't help but ask with doubt.

"I can decide your life with just one word, do you need to do anything unnecessary?" Gao Xu shook his head and laughed, waving his hands and said, "Get some rest, otherwise in your current state, you won't be able to take even one move, let alone three moves.

!”

An Long laughed angrily, took a deep breath, and didn't care about Gao Xu's disdainful words. He really sat cross-legged and recovered, showing the calm demeanor of a sect leader in the face of danger. It didn't take long for him to adjust his mood and calm down.

, began to recover the energy consumed by the previous series of battles...

After a while, Anlong stood up, his narrow eyes revealed a sharp edge, and he said sullenly: "Boy, I don't know what kind of trick you pulled this time, but how many pounds did you have a few months ago?"

I know exactly how many taels I have, so let you brag about it to the sky. Using your true talent and practical knowledge, defeating me in three moves is also a fantasy and completely impossible!"

"Just because you can't accept reality, you are far worse than Shi Zhixuan. Until he was beaten to a cripple by me, he never said a word that it was impossible..." An Long originally wanted to use words to ridicule Gao Xu to see what he would do.

Gao Xu's reaction, who knew that Gao Xu's understatement would cause his face to change drastically and his mood to be shaken.

"Anlong, let me tell you the truth, the reason why we made the three-move agreement is for nothing else. We are just approaching a breakthrough and need pressure to push!" Seeing Anlong's dejected look, Gao Xu curled his lips, hating that iron cannot be made into steel.

He said authentically, "If you dare to test my patience again, I will send you on your way. Anyway, there are Zhao Deyan, You Niaojuan, and Yin Zuwen coming one by one. I am not afraid that no one will practice my moves for me!"

This sentence really expresses Gao Xu's purpose. Although Anlong's strength is no longer in his eyes, it is different if it is replaced by a three-move agreement. Even Shi Zhixuan in his heyday wanted three moves in a head-on battle.

Defeating An Long, who ranks sixth among the eight masters of the Demon Sect, is not an easy task, so in Gao Xu’s eyes, An Long can barely make use of the waste~~~

Immortal Seal... It’s time to advance to the sixth level!!! (To be continued.)
