The second prince Li Jiye and the fourth prince Li Wenji welcomed Li Chengdao on his triumphant return. They congratulated each other in front of the horse, but Li Chengdao did not show any pretense and rode over.
After the team passed by, the two of them felt strange, why didn't they see the prince and the third prince?
"Where are the eldest and the third child?"
Li Jiye said doubtfully.
The fourth prince Li Wenji gently shook the folding fan in his hand. Even in the coldest months of winter, he still wanted to maintain the demeanor of a scholar.
"Are the rumors true?"
Li Wenji whispered.
They heard a lot of news in Jinling City, saying that Li Chengtong, Li Yuanying, and the three sons of the Murong family were all killed by Long Chen at Jade Buddha Pass, and their heads were sent to Linjiang City.
Although Li Chengdao issued an order to block the news, anyone who dared to speak nonsense would be killed!
But with so many people in the city at that time, word always got out, and the two of them got the news.
"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense!"
The second prince Li Jiye felt that his opportunity had come.
Li Chengtong and Li Yuanying were too powerful and he didn't dare to compare, but compared to Li Wenji, Li Jiye felt that he was better.
"Second brother, I didn't say anything, you did."
Li Wenji was secretly happy and turned around to find a group of literati and poets like him to discuss the matter of seizing the throne of the East Palace.
After the two brothers died, they were not sad at all, but happy.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai entered the city, feeling heavy in their hearts but pretending to be victorious on their faces.
As soon as the two returned to the palace, they received an order to enter the palace.
The two men hurriedly changed out of their armor, put on their court clothes, and immediately entered the palace to meet the saint.
Entering the imperial study, Li Chengdao was still wearing the clothes he had worn when he returned from the expedition, and the dust, mud and water on his body were still there.
"Wei ministers pay homage to the emperor."
The two of them prayed.
Li Chengdao came back to his senses and said tiredly: "Sit down."
The two sat down on the chairs next to them and waited for Li Chengdao's instructions.
"This battle... was brutal!"
Li Chengdao used the word "tragic" to describe this personal expedition.
They lost not many troops, only 20,000, but Yufo Pass lost three powerful Martial Emperors, the crown prince and the third prince.
One is the Crown Prince of Daliang, and the other is the head of the Imperial City Department.
All three sons of the Murong family died, and Murong Xiao became the last descendant.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai were silent, they didn't know what to say.
"Long Chengen's power is beyond my imagination. He alone... actually killed three Martial Emperors in a row and seriously injured two. Jing Tianlie's Red Flame Army was defeated like a mountain."
Li Chengdao sighed quietly, hating him to the extreme.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai never spoke.
"Long Chengen will replace Jing Tianlie and become the general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the war in the world will definitely restart."
"General Hu, lead the troops to guard Qushui City and resist from the east."
"General Qiu, lead the troops to guard Hanling City and resist in the west."
"You rest at home for seven days, and set off immediately after seven days without any mistakes."
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai stood up and worshiped: "Wei ministers accept the decree."
The two of them exited the imperial study room.
"Zhong Gui!"
Zhong Gui came in from outside and said: "Your Majesty."
Li Chengdao ordered: "Immediately select talented, intelligent, and preferably martial arts-trained beautiful women to enter the palace. The more the better."
"Jinling Heroes Stage has reopened, and there are daily competitions to select generals. I want to recruit heroes from all over the world. As long as they are strong in martial arts, I will appoint them regardless of nationality or ethnicity."
This hero platform once recruited a lot of generals for Nanliang, including Long Ye who came from a poor family.
Zhong Gui bowed and said, "This slave accepts the order."
Li Chengdao added: "The person you sent to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, let him find a way to do something."
Zhong Gui bowed and said, "This slave accepts the order."
Li Chengdao closed his eyes and looked very tired.
Eunuch Zhong Gui asked softly: "Your Majesty, the coffins of the prince and the third prince are placed in the ancestral hall. Do you want to bury them?"
Jing Tianlie sent six coffins to Jinling and kept them secretly in the ancestral hall.
Li Chengdao closed his eyes and said coldly: "Replace the head. Send the Murong family's secrets back and comfort them."
Zhong Gui accepted the order and slowly exited the room.
Xuan Jizi came in from the outside. He had changed into a Taoist robe and sat next to Li Chengdao. After a long time, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."
Li Chengdao didn't say anything. He leaned on the dragon chair and took a nap. He was extremely exhausted.
"Although we have failed several assassinations, Pindao still suggested trying again. We did it ourselves before, but this time we can let professionals do it professionally."
Li Chengdao still didn't speak.
Xuan Jizi continued: "Wan Jin Lou has been hiding in the world, and his assassination methods are extremely clever. If..."
Li Chengdao opened his eyes, which were bloodshot, and said bitterly: "Yes! Pay the silver from the treasury!"
Xuanjizi bowed and said, "I am a poor man who has received the decree."
Wanjinlou is a mysterious sect in Jianghu, and no one knows the specific situation.
But one thing everyone knows is that Wanjinlou is an assassination sect. They only accept assassinations of princes and offer extremely high prices.
There is a saying in Jianghu: Ten thousand gold tower, ten thousand gold tower, ten thousand gold can buy the top one, please don't talk about princes, ten thousand gold can buy your head!
Because Wanjinlou always targets princes and dignitaries, the courts of various countries severely crack down on them.
But Wanjin Tower always exists, and as long as it can produce 10,000 taels of gold, anyone below the emperor can be killed.
This time, Xuanjizi placed his hope on Wanjinlou to kill Long Chen.
Li Chengdao was ill and rushed to the doctor. He thought that killing Long Chen with ten thousand taels of gold was a good deal.
Xuanjizi immediately contacted Wan Jinlou.
Zhong Gui came out of the imperial study and met Yu Fuguo. Yufuguo smiled sadly and said: "This battle is a great victory. The manager has made great contributions."
Zhong Gui's face turned cold and he warned: "Yu Fuguo, don't make yourself uncomfortable."
With a cold snort, Zhong Gui walked over.
Yu Fuguo looked at Zhong Gui's back coldly and said sarcastically: "Deceiving yourself."
....
Daughter City of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Long Chen appeared outside the west gate with five female generals. Xuan Yi saw it and hurriedly rode to the city gate and shouted: "Master Long has returned to the capital!"
Hearing the sound, Di Luoxi was the first to ride out of the city gate and rush to the west.
Yesterday, I received news from the inn that Long Chen could arrive in the capital today.
The empress led the Chinese, civil and military officials to greet him at the west gate.
"Princess, wait for us."
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue rode in hot pursuit.
The empress is dressed in a bright red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. She has a majestic temperament and joy on her face.
"How anxious is the fourth sister?"
The eldest princess Di Yu said slightly sourly.
Long Chen was from the West Palace, and Di Luoxi benefited from it.
The second princess, Emperor Xingwan, looked at the white-faced eunuch behind her and said with a smile: "Sister, you should also work hard to find a good eunuch."
This white-faced eunuch was selected by Emperor Xingwan and is now the manager of Nangong.
The white-faced eunuch smiled humbly and apologized.
Yingfeng and Di Waner stood on tiptoe, hoping to look further and see Long Chen earlier. Xiang Ning and a group of maids from the West Palace were also anxiously waiting for Long Chen to return.
Li Junjun, the censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was dressed very formally today. In addition to his official uniform, he also bought new shoes, and his face was filled with joy.
This time, her daughter made a great contribution, and he, the father, was honored.
"Master Li, my concubine is worthy of your honor and has made great achievements in battle."
Wu Wenjing, the Minister of Justice next to him, congratulated in a low voice.
Li Junjun smiled and said: "It's just a matter of honor, it's all Master Long's prowess."
Other officials also congratulated him.
In the past, these people would have laughed at Li Junjun, but now because Bai Tingting is following Long Chen, they are all very polite.
Di Luoxi galloped on her horse, followed closely by Xuan Yi and Qing Yue, and soon saw Long Chen and the others.
"The princess is here!"
Zhang Qian shouted happily when she saw Di Luoxi running towards her.
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Luoxi rushed over.
"Little Dragon Dragon!"
Di Luoxi actually flew up from the horse and rushed towards Long Chen.
"It's not that bad..."
Long Chen was startled.
