Li Shimin had no intention of saving face for Li Yuanjing.
They told the public that Li Yuanjing and Liu Xiaosun colluded with Cui Yinghe.
As for the collusion between Li Yuanjing and Cui Yinghe, Li Yuanchang also testified.
But just when Li Shimin was about to sentence Li Yuanjing to death.
Li Yuan rarely appeared in the court.
He personally came forward to intercede for Li Yuanjing.
And Li Chengqian also took advantage of the situation and stood with his grandfather.
finally.
This also forced Li Shimin to give up killing and instead demoted Li Yuanjing to a commoner.
But Li Yuanjing's matter came to an end.
Li Chengqian finally had time to rest and recuperate.
Ten days passed in a flash.
This day.
Li Chengqian sat in his study and read all morning as usual.
When the sun set to the west, Li Chengqian put down the book in his hand and stretched out.
"The leisure time has been too long."
"It will also make you feel bored."
That's when Li Chengqian sighed.
Xiao Chuzi suddenly ran over and whispered in Li Chengqian's ear: "Your Highness, a message has been sent from Beimo."
Hear this.
Li Chengqian's spirit was lifted.
He turned to look at Xiao Chuzi and asked, "How is it? Is it good news or bad news?"
"this……"
Little Chuzi hesitated and said: "There are good and bad..."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Why are there good and bad? Where is the person who sent the letter now?"
Seeing Xiao Chuzi, I can’t tell clearly.
He didn't bother to ask, so he could just ask the person who sent the letter.
Little Chuzi was relieved and said quickly: "The person who sent the message is in the East Palace now."
"Walk!"
Li Chengqian strode straight back to the East Palace.
Before anyone could enter the courtyard, they saw Wang Fang wandering outside the East Palace.
Wang Fang looked happy when she saw Li Chengqian coming back.
He quickly walked up to Li Chengqian, knelt down on one knee and said: "My subordinate Wang Fang, please pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"My brother, there is no need to be polite!"
Li Chengqian pulled Wang Fang up from the ground and asked, "How is the situation in the Northern Desert? Have you found the whereabouts of the rebels?"
"found it!"
"And just before I came back, we just fought against them."
Wang Fang said truthfully: "After the first battle, many of the Cui family girl's accomplices were captured, a total of 392 people."
"Those people are now in Liu Lv's prison. If you want to interrogate them, you can do so at any time."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was ecstatic.
He and Cui Yinghe had been fighting openly and secretly for many years.
But because of the relationship between light and darkness, he has always lost more and won less.
This time, I finally defeated the opponent once.
"Great, great!"
"What you did is really great."
Li Chengqian sincerely praised: "When you come back victorious, I will reward you well."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Fang bowed and saluted, and then a touch of sadness flashed across his face.
"This time we won a small victory."
"but……"
Wang Fang pursed her lips and said, "Cao Qi, it's broken..."
As soon as this statement came out.
The smile on Li Chengqian's face suddenly froze.
"Cao Qi got broken? How?"
He clearly knew that Cao Qi was a fly on the grass.
If he wants to escape, no one can stop him.
Before leaving, Li Chengqian even thought that something would happen to Fu Laoliu and the others, but he did not expect that Cao Qi would die.
Li Chengqian grabbed Wang Fang's arm and said, "Cao Qi's Qinggong is so powerful, how could he die?"
Wang Fang pursed her lips tightly and said nothing for a long time.
"I'll let you talk!"
"How did Cao Qi die?"
Li Chengqian roared at Wang Fang.
He and Cao Qi have not known each other for a long time, but they have already gone through life and death several times.
He has long regarded Cao Qi as one of his own and his brother.
Now that he heard the news of his death, Li Chengqian felt his heart churn.
"I...we were noticed by that girl from the Cui family when we first arrived in the Northern Desert."
Wang Fang lowered her head and said, "Cao Qi died in a sneak attack to cover Zhang Zhong."
It was also after that sneak attack.
Young Master Qi made up his mind to meet Cui Yinghe.
He summoned all the brothers he could muster in the rivers and lakes to go to Bei Mo, where he had a big fight with Cui Yinghe.
Those people under Cui Yinghe.
Or they are some reckless bandits in the rivers and lakes.
Or they are some carefully trained dead soldiers.
The fighting modes of the two parties are quite similar.
In many cases, the two fight in a life-for-life manner.
The vast desert is full of battlefields between the two sides.
Sometimes, Young Master Qi would have the upper hand, and sometimes Cui Yinghe would rely on his familiarity with the terrain to fool Young Master Qi and the others around.
Anyway, for a long time, both sides were victorious.
