Among the ordinary soldiers in Tiance Mansion, there were also many spies planted by Li Jiancheng, so the fact that Li Shimin was captured by Zheng She also went away, and everyone in the Li clan knew about it before dawn.
Although Li Shimin returned to Tiance Mansion not long after dawn, the news still spread, and with the help of the Yingui faction, it spread wider and wider, and became more and more unreasonable.
In Shanglin Garden, several female ticket-goers started talking together.
"Have you heard? Last night, King Qin was captured by King Zheng in Tiance Mansion."
"ah!"
"Prince Zheng's martial arts is really so good that he actually captured Prince Qin among the heroes of Tiance Mansion!"
"If that's true, His Highness the King of Qin will be in danger. Who doesn't know that the Central Plains is now divided into two parts. From the Yangtze River to the South China Sea, it belongs to King Zheng, and most of the land north of the Yangtze River belongs to Li Tang. King Qin and King Zheng
It can be said that they are enemies of life and death."
"Hey, it's true. King Zheng really captured King Qin."
"It's a pity that His Highness the King of Qin had a reputation for benevolence, but he lost his life at the hands of King Zheng. Without King Qin in Chang'an, how can these people live?"
"Brother, listen to me first. King Qin was indeed captured by King Zheng, but King Zheng did not kill him and put King Qin back safe and sound."
"Oh? Did King Zheng also know King Qin's benevolence and righteousness and let His Highness King Qin go?"
"Tch, how is that possible? If it were you, would you let him go?"
"Uh...I definitely won't."
"That's it. In fact, the reason why King Zheng let King Qin go is because the two of them reached a consensus. The brother-in-law of my third cousin's second aunt's eldest nephew is working in Tiance Mansion, and I have inside information."
"What's the news? Brother, tell me quickly."
"In fact, it is not difficult to guess that although King Zheng and King Qin are enemies, they have a common opponent, and that is the current Crown Prince."
"Ah. It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"The King of Qin and the Crown Prince have been at odds for a long time. This is no secret in Chang'an. It is simply that the Crown Prince is jealous of King Qin's military exploits and is afraid that he will take away his position as Crown Prince. He has always been hostile to His Highness the King of Qin, the princeling party and the Tiance Mansion.
The conflict among the people has been deep for a long time. As for King Zheng, it goes without saying that the conflict between Zheng and Tang is the biggest conflict in the world today. The two people conspired to deal with the prince, and after the prince is removed, the two will share the world."
"I see, that's why the two of them reached a consensus, and King Zheng let King Qin go."
"Of course, otherwise how could King Zheng let King Qin leave safely."
"I always thought that the King of Qin had unparalleled love and loyalty, but it turns out that when it comes to life and death, he would compromise and turn against his brothers."
"Everyone is like this. It's understandable."
Someone next to him sneered and said, "My third aunt's second cousin's eldest nephew's brother-in-law is also an errand in the Tiance Mansion. That's not what I heard."
"What do you know? Tell me."
"The two of them have indeed reached a consensus, but the content is different from what you said. It is already known to everyone that King Zheng's lovely wife and concubines are the most beautiful in the world. This shows that King Zheng is lustful.
.I heard that it was King Qin who dedicated Princess Xiuning to King Zheng, and that he also secretly surrendered to King Zheng. King Qin has signed a letter of surrender. He promised that after moving the prince down, he would dedicate the entire Li Tang Dynasty to his wife after becoming the queen of Tang Dynasty.
To King Zheng."
"Fart. His Royal Highness the King of Qin understands the righteousness, how could he surrender to King Zheng?"
"Hey, for King Zheng, who is the greater threat, King Qin or the prince? Of course it is King Qin. Therefore, King Zheng cannot let King Qin go just because he agrees to deal with the prince together."
"this……"
"It is because His Highness the King of Qin understands the righteousness well and knows that the people's lives are the most miserable during the war. He wants to end the war as soon as possible, so he surrendered to King Zheng."
"This...could this be the real reason?"
"Of course not." Another person interjected, "You are all special. My eldest cousin's second aunt's junior brother-in-law is also working as an errand in Tiance Mansion. That's not what I heard."
"Brother, what do you think?"
"Everyone knows that King Zheng was lustful, so King Qin gave in to him and exchanged a woman for his freedom."
"Brother, isn't it the same as what I said? The King of Qin presented Princess Xiuning to save his life."
"Wrong, really wrong. Although Princess Xiuning is a stunning beauty, she is not worthy of King Zheng letting go of King Qin. Talking about being a communist enemy of the prince and surrendering to Zheng are all nonsense. With the current power of Zheng, Li Tangruo would not have
How can the King of Qin and Tiance Mansion stop the Zheng army? As long as the King of Qin is killed, the Northland will be at your fingertips. A beauty like Princess Xiuning is not unique in the Northland, and King Zheng may not care about her alone."
"Oh? Then who are you talking about?"
"When it comes to the unique beauty in the world, it must be the Shixianzi from Jingzhai. So the King of Qin relied on the Shixianzi to save his life."
"Fart, Fairy Master is so noble. If you slander my Fairy Master again, I will make your blood splatter on the spot."
"I dare to guarantee it with my life. If this statement is false, I will be struck by five thunders from heaven, and I will never be reincarnated."
"It doesn't look like this guy is lying."
"Is it really true that I exchanged it for Master Fairy?"
"No, how could King Qin do this, exchange his own life with a fairy? This is too..."
"Hey, except for a peerless woman like Shi Xianzi, who else in this world can make the emperor not even want the kingdom?"
"Although your words make sense, what I heard is indeed that King Qin and King Zheng formed an alliance to deal with the prince together, and they returned safely."
"No, King Qin understands his righteousness and surrenders to King Zheng in order to prevent the people from being displaced."
"No, it was Master Shixianzi who exchanged himself for it."
Tiance Mansion.
"Your Highness, what's wrong, I heard a lot of rumors outside, which are extremely detrimental to Your Highness." A young general hurried into Tiance Mansion and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Don't panic, it's just some rumors, don't take it seriously."
"But, but they said..." the young general stopped predicting.
"What did they say?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"They said, they said..." the young general said squeakingly.
"Speak quickly if you have anything to say." Cheng Zhijie said angrily.
"Yes, yes, General Cheng. They said that His Highness and King Zheng formed an alliance to deal with His Highness the Crown Prince, so King Zheng released His Highness. Others said that His Highness had surrendered to King Zheng and presented Princess Xiuning. Others said that His Highness had surrendered to King Zheng and presented Princess Xiuning.
Say..." The young general spoke, and his voice became lower and lower.
The more Cheng Zhijie listened, the angrier he became, and he roared: "What else did they say?"
The young general said: "They also said that His Highness King Qin was brought back by Shi Xianzi."
"That's nonsense. I, Old Cheng, will kill you first." Cheng Zhijie was so angry that he swung his ax to kill the young general.
"General Cheng, spare your life." The young general panicked and knelt down with a plop.
Du Ruhui frowned deeply and said: "Your Highness, there is something bad about this matter, and people's rumors are terrible. If it is spread like this, I am afraid it will destabilize the morale of the army. It will be very detrimental to us. Your Highness, we must find a way to refute the rumors.
Stop this storm."
Shanglin Garden.
A man who looked like a young sergeant drew his sword, cut the table in two with one blow, and roared: "You are so brave, you dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of King Qin, you are simply treasonous, let Wu kill you scum today.
"
A man who looked like a knight shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
The sergeant surnamed Wu said: "This is Wu Tiande, the captain of the right army guard of Tiance Mansion. Those who are killed today are shameless people like you."
After that, the two started fighting in Shanglin Garden. For a moment, the swords were sharp and the swords were shadowy.
"Come on, hurry up, that man is indeed Wu Xiaowei from Tiance Mansion. I met him once when His Highness King Qin was traveling." Someone said.
"Yes. Wu Tiande is indeed a guard of Tiance Mansion, and I have met him." Another person said.
There are many knowledgeable people in Shanglin Garden, and indeed many people have met Li Shimin and recognized Wu Tiande. This man is indeed a genuine Tiance Mansion sergeant.
"Even people from Tiance Mansion said so. It seems that this news is not a rumor."
"Yeah, let's go quickly, don't let the people from Tiance Mansion catch us. These palace guards don't regard us as human beings, and killing us will be in vain."
Many timid people saw that the situation was not good and fled quietly.
The man who wielded the sword was stabbed, jumped out of the window, stood on the street and shouted: "Wu Tiande, don't think that just because you are from Tiance Mansion, you can be lawless. King Qin has done these dirty things. Do you dare to do it?"
Even if Liu died in battle today, he would not give in."
"Wu will not be a human until I kill you with my sword today." Wu Tiande roared angrily, and rushed out of Shanglin Garden, slashing at the sword wielding young man.
The young swordsman surnamed Liu staggered backwards and ran away, not forgetting to shout: "Wu Tiande, if you have the guts, come with me."
"Don't run away." Wu Tiande yelled and chased after him.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared into Zhuque Street.
In an alley, Wu Tiande bandaged the wound of the swordsman surnamed Liu and said humbly: "Junior brother Liu, I have offended you a lot this time, please forgive me."
The young man surnamed Liu said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, for the sake of the Holy Sect's grand plan, these minor injuries of Junior Brother are nothing to worry about."
In less than a cup of tea, a group of sergeants from Tiance Mansion appeared in Shanglin Garden. Seeing this, people became even more convinced of the previous rumors.
Tiance Mansion.
The young general ran in again and shouted: "Your Highness, it's not good."
Li Shimin's face darkened, with sadness on his brows, and he asked in a solemn voice: "What happened?"
The young general said: "Someone from our Tiance Mansion has come out to refute the rumors."
Luo Shixin said: "Isn't this a good thing?"
"It's just..." the young general whispered: "It's just that after the Yue man came forward to refute the rumors, it seemed to have the opposite effect. Not only were the rumors not suppressed, but they spread even wider. Moreover, after our people went out, the discussion became even louder.
Big."
"not good!"
Fang Xuanling yelled and sighed: "We have fallen into a trap. Take one step first, step by step. King Zheng has already calculated our response in advance. It is really a good means and a good strategy."
At the same time, news in the city also reached the ears of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan. (To be continued...)
