The three women stood at the door of the courtyard, looking at the door quietly.
Just now, the most important man in their lives walked out of here.
He went to fight the enemy.
But they knew what this man was capable of.
But they still couldn't help but worry.
Worried that once he walks out, he will never come back.
Su Qingling, Lu Wanjie, and even Li Tingxue all faced the courtyard gate.
It seemed as if the next moment, he would open the courtyard door and walk in.
It seems that God has heard the voices of several women.
As the saying goes, if you never forget, there will be a response.
After an unknown amount of time, the courtyard door was pushed open. Li Chengqian wiped the blood on his body and face with the little dragon robe he had just taken off, then pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing him come in, the three women all breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Li Tingxue stepped forward first and examined his brother carefully.
It wasn't until I discovered that he had no missing arms or broken legs that I finally felt relieved.
Gao Zhixing, covered in blood, also came in after him.
When he saw Li Tingxue, Gao Zhixing's eyes became obviously complicated.
He didn't see anything else, he mainly saw the bruises on Li Tingxue's face and the footprints on her lower abdomen.
Everyone present at the time, including Li Chengqian, felt a trace of murderous intent spreading in the air.
Li Tingxue is Gao Zhixing's weakness, and also his fate.
Anyone who dares to touch Li Tingxue will have Gao Zhixing killed.
And Li Chengqian also knew what he was thinking.
He raised his head slightly and said, "Send the order to capture the assassin's accomplices throughout the city."
"If you find anyone suspicious, take him back to the military camp immediately for strict investigation."
"Once identified, there is no need to report, and the person will be beheaded immediately in public display."
Li Chengqian paused and then said: "Afterwards, remember to hang their heads on the city wall."
"yes!"
high It should be the best to intervene.
Then, he took another deep look at Li Tingxue, then turned and left.
Changzhou City was destined to be restless that night.
Late at night is a time of tranquility, when people are sleeping.
But the thunderous footsteps of the Qianziying soldiers broke the tranquility.
After the Qianziying soldiers entered the city, they were still divided into five groups, with each group consisting of a hundred people.
Search for the remaining assassins in the four cities of east, west, south and north respectively.
The remaining 500 people, led by Gao Zhixing, spread to the four cities in the east, west, north and south respectively, and organized local troops to block the city gates.
Inside the hotel.
Han Qilue was supported by his soldiers and walked to Li Chengqian, who was watching Zuo Yi's guards clearing the battlefield.
His pale face was filled with guilt.
He followed Li Chengqian out this time just to protect his safety.
However, the assassins broke through his defense and directly attacked the inner house, causing heavy losses to everyone.
Because of this, he naturally took the blame on himself.
If he could detect the assassin early.
Then they wouldn't have killed or injured so many brothers.
"Your Highness..."
Han Qilue lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian said: "We are all brothers who live and die together. There is no need to say those high-sounding words in front of him."
Looking at the corpses being carried out, Li Chengqian sighed softly.
"And speaking of it, I can't blame you for this, but blame me..."
"After all, I'm still too young."
"Although sometimes I can think of everything, I never feel defensive."
"I thought no one would cause trouble in a place like this."
"I thought the deterrent effect I left in Yangzhou was enough to make people look forward to it.
And fear..."
"I thought……"
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I brought them here. It is also my responsibility not to take them back."
His fault was not that he didn't expect anything.
But he underestimated the enemy too much, or was too naive.
His fault is that as the prince of a country, he has a weak temperament and only knows how to avoid disaster.
His fault was that His Highness, as a group of people, forgot about his current wealth and status. If he collapsed, many people would die with him.
If only he could establish his prestige as early as Li Shimin did.
Who dares to openly touch his bad luck?
If only he could be more cold-blooded and eliminate all dangers first, instead of avoiding them one after another like now.
How could there be so many brothers paying the price with their lives for the mistakes he made?
Seriously, if he wants to.
He has ten thousand ways to keep himself safe forever.
Li Chengqian certainly behaved very calmly.
But I felt really uncomfortable inside.
After all, that's more than a hundred lives...
Not long after, Li Yuan also walked in from the outside accompanied by several followers.
When he saw the corpses covered with white cloth outside, his face didn't look very good.
Li Yuan walked to Li Chengqian who was sitting on the stairs of the hotel: "Has the assassin been caught?"
"No."
Li Chengqian shook his head with dull eyes.
He looked straight at the hotel door, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
He sat next to Li Chengqian and followed his gaze at the hotel door.
The two of them just sat and stood, neither of them speaking.
After a long time, Li Yuan slowly asked: "Who do you think these people are from?"
"Everyone comes Some masters in the world."
"And those who can recruit the masters of the world are either very rich or very prestigious."
"Obviously, I have enemies in both areas."
Li Chengqian pursed his lips: "As for who sent them specifically, Gao Zhixing is still reviewing it."
"You little guy."
"Sometimes, I really don't know what to say to you."
Li Yuan also stood up slowly and walked to Li Chengqian's side: "You are the grandson I am most proud of, but you are also the grandson I am most worried about."
"It's true that you are capable, but you are too soft-hearted."
"When it comes to people who harm you, it doesn't matter if you don't fight back, but you still give them every chance."
"Aren't you just looking for trouble for yourself?"
Li Yuan raised his hand and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said, "I know that your personality must be related to the previous changes."
"But grandpa will tell you something today."
"The Imperial Family is far from as simple as you think."
"Every emperor can achieve great things in the end only by stepping on the shoulders of his brothers and stepping on the bones."
"So, sometimes you have to force yourself to be cold-blooded."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to protect the people you care about, the people around you."
Li Yuan sighed and said: "You may not want to be cold-blooded, but you can't help it. Who said this is destined."
"Who is calling you, are you a child of our Lao Li family?"
"Who is calling you, you are the successor of our Datang..."
Li Yuan patted Li Chengqian's shoulder again: "Grandpa, go back and have a rest first. When you figure it out, come and talk to grandpa..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan took a step and walked away without stopping at all.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Yuan's back and suddenly felt a little dazed.
It seems like... I really need to make some changes.
As Li Yuan said, you should think more about the people around you as well as yourself...
