"Your Highness, are you comfortable living here?" Song Bokang stood in front of Li Xingzai with a smile on his face.
Li Xingzai was lying on the Arhat bed, with his crossed leg pressed on by the other foot.
"It's so comfortable. It's so comfortable that I forget everything."
Li Xingzai had been in Liangzhou City for some time. He had a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. He had met almost all the popular dancers in Liangzhou City. Song Bokang's hospitality was not without attentiveness, and Li Xingzai's life was not without.
Comfortable.
But when he said this, Li Xingzai gritted his teeth in his heart and suppressed his anger with excellent self-control.
Song Bokang laughed, seemingly unaware of Li Xingzai's anger.
"Your Highness, I have some good news."
"Oh, I can still hear good news here. It's unbelievable."
"It is indeed good news, it came from Chang'an City."
Li Xingzai's expression was startled. Ever since he arrived in Liangzhou City, he and Fordler have been under house arrest in this courtyard, and news from the outside world has been completely cut off. The war situation in Chang'an City has always been what he is most concerned about.
"Oh, what's the news?" Li Xingzai looked up at the sky above the eaves, where a cloud gathered and dispersed.
"Great news, the bandits were repulsed outside Chang'an City, and they retreated to Huguan. The day to defeat the bandits can be expected." Song Bokang said excitedly.
Li Xingzai was silent. From Song Bokang's attitude towards him, we can see the situation in Chang'an. If the empire could defend Chang'an, then the strategy of holding the prince to control the princes would be of little use. In order to avoid Japan's revenge in the future, Song Bokang
It is possible to kill people and silence them. And if the thieves broke into Chang'an, the world would be in chaos. My identity as a prince was too important. There was no way I could be pushed to the throne.
Good news? Bad news?
Now Li Xingzai can't figure out what is good news and what is bad news.
Of course, Song Bokang was his only source of information now, and Li Xingzai couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
In the distance, Fordler was sitting on the rockery, looking coldly at Song Bokang and Li Xingzai. Although he had followed Li Xingzai for so long and understood most of the things in the empire, he still couldn't understand these hypocritical politeness.
Isn't it a very simple principle to differentiate between strong and weak? Why are the people of the Empire so accustomed to hiding it?
"Master Song, since the situation in Chang'an is favorable, when will we send out troops? If we don't go, all the bandits will be killed, and all the credit will be taken away by my brothers."
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have been preparing for sending troops. Military warfare is not a trivial matter. Everything must be considered in the long term."
"How long does it take to discuss this? Shouldn't it wait until the crops grow next year?"
After Song Bokang left, Fudler came over and glanced at Li Xingzai.
"Why do I feel that after you regain your status as a prince, your life is worse than when you were a wanderer before?"
Li Xingzai sighed: "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. I only wish I was born in an emperor's family."
"How many days have we been stuck here?" Fudler.
"Seven days." Li Xingzai replied immediately.
Seven days is not a long time, nor is it a short time. If you put it in the soil, the seeds will not have time to germinate. But if you put it in Chang'an, it can even determine the victory or defeat of a battlefield.
"We have to find a way out of here." Fordler.
In the distance, Azhu Acui was looking this way, and Li Xingzai smiled and waved to the two of them, saying, "You think I don't want to leave, but how can we leave?"
"Contact the boss and tell him our current situation." Fordler said: "There should be a hidden thread in Qinchuan Pass in Liangzhou City."
"What you said makes sense, but now we can't even get out of this courtyard?" Li Xingzai said, "How to contact Qinchuan Pass."
Fordler was silent for a moment and said: "Think hard, you can always come up with a solution."
…
Song Bokang stepped out of the courtyard, and Li Xingzai could not see what was going on outside the courtyard. The entire courtyard was surrounded by heavy troops ten steps away, and there were people watching from high places. Li Xingzai's every move could be seen clearly.
Although it was said throughout Chang'an that the Sixth Prince was a waste, Song Bokang was still very careful. He himself was a very cautious person, which is why Cui Xiang sent him to take charge of Liangzhou.
All the way through the corridor and into the hall, as soon as Song Bokang sat down, Chief Shi Luluo was waiting to report to him.
These days, intelligence about Chang'an City has been sent here continuously. Song Bokang did not lie to Li Xingzai. Outside Chang'an City, the imperial court did win a battle. The Justice Cult retreated and ambushed Hu Pass, but the situation in Chang'an City was still not optimistic.
The Righteous Sect is guarding Fuhu Pass and the reinforcements cannot attack. The longer they hold on, the more dangerous Chang'an City will be.
"Sir, there is news from the Prime Minister's Mansion asking about the situation of His Highness." Lu Luo.
"Report truthfully and tell the Prime Minister that His Highness is in our hands now and nothing can go wrong." After Song Bokang said this, he asked again: "How are the preparations, Your Majesty the Prime Minister?"
Lu Luo nodded, with a flash of excitement in his eyes: "We are all ready. The city of Chang'an is broken, which is our opportunity to start an uprising. Jiangnan, Yuzhou, including Liangzhou, when the time comes, we will fight against the thieves from heaven, and we will surely be able to pacify the world."
Although this world belongs to the Li family, there are many aristocratic families under it. These families have been inherited for hundreds of years and are deeply rooted. No matter who is in the Dragon Court, it actually has little impact on their identities.
The Li family has run out of energy. This is something that many people have seen for a long time. It is time to change the day. The Cui family, the Lu family, the Song family, the Dai family... these big families need to find new spokespersons, or they themselves
Be the master.
Among the heroes vying for the throne, it is impossible for anyone not to covet the position above tens of millions of people.
"If the city of Chang'an is destroyed, we will make the sixth prince emperor." Lu Luo said: "What the prime minister means is, is the sixth prince easy to control?"
"He is known as the useless prince in the capital. Emperor Ming has so many heirs, and he is the least likely to inherit the throne." Song Bokang said: "But after all, he disappeared for a long time, and he reappeared in the hands of Cheng Dalei. Who knew
Has there been any change in him?"
"Judging from these days, he is nothing more than a drunkard." Lu Luo.
Song Bokang nodded: "What you said makes sense, but he wanted to leave on the first day. This kind of vigilance should not be underestimated."
"Sir, he is just a cover. Once the world is pacified, if we find an opportunity to get rid of him, what kind of waves can he cause in our hands?" Lu Luo.
Song Bokang was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Li Xingzai had been completely controlled, so there was no need to be overly concerned about him. What he was currently concerned about, and of course what the whole world was concerned about, was the war situation in Chang'an City.
"Do you think it's possible that the Li family can defend Chang'an City?" Song Bokang asked worriedly.
