Li Xu, with his troops and horses, hurried back to Wandu headquarters day and night.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and the status of the current emperor is about to be lost. The wise men of the Great Zhou Dynasty each defected to the hero. Even the children on the street sang nursery rhymes. The north and the south were vying for a wise king. Naturally, the nursery rhymes talked about Li Xu from northern Xinjiang and Southeast Xinjiang.
Song Chengxuan.
Li Xu's soldiers and horses moved all the way south, breaking through the city one after another. It seemed that if they continued like this, they would be able to capture the capital in one go. However, at this time, Li Xu returned to Guangning Guards from Wandu Division.
Because Nuergan made a mistake, Nuergan seems inconspicuous. Once out of Li Xu's control, Li Xu will be attacked from both sides.
Li Xu got off his horse and strode into the Chinese army's tent.
Gao Jian Song was discussing the war with several generals on how to solve Nuerqian's dilemma. Li Xu suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and everyone could not hide their surprise.
"Master Hou."
Takamatsu and others stepped forward to salute.
Li Xu did not respond and quickly walked to the map. Gao Jiansong immediately dismissed the generals in the tent.
"What's going on?" Li Xu's faint voice came.
Gao Jiansong's eyes fell on Li Xu's mourning clothes under his armor. Ever since Mrs. Li was "killed" in Northern Xinjiang, Li Xu's mourning clothes had never left her body. In addition to Li Xu, the generals of the Li family also volunteered to serve Li Xu with the Marquis.
Madam's mourning... This originally strengthened the momentum of the Li family's army, but now it has become a pain in the ass.
Gao Jiansong's voice was hard: "Nuergan spread the news that the madam is not dead, and that the madam also led the Haixi tribe to obstruct the Yu family and killed General Li."
Li Xu stood there motionless, his expression still calm, but his face seemed to become paler.
Takami Matsu hurriedly said: "I think this is 80% false. We all saw that Madam's carriage was on fire, and she was stabbed. With Madam's body, even if she hadn't suffered this disaster, she would have been exhausted.
, how to lead troops to fight."
There was silence again.
Li Xu said after a long while: "Has anyone seen her?"
Li Xu's voice was low and cold.
Takamatsu said: "I just saw a figure, but I can't be sure it's the madam. Most of the time, the woman covered her face with a power fence, but once... when she saw the city being destroyed, she revealed her true face... but she couldn't tell."
Li Xu turned his head and looked at Gao Jiansong's face.
Gao Jiansong swallowed: "Because her face is burned, so... you can't... see."
Xu Qinghuan's figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Xu's eyes. No matter what time, she was so bright, like a flower that had just bloomed, radiant, and her eyes were as bright as the morning sun, able to illuminate everything.
When she walked towards him, she always had a smile on her lips. Even if she was angry with him, she would take care of everything for him in private.
He also thought about always being the person she expected in her heart.
But it was doomed to be wrong from the beginning.
Li Xu's voice was slightly hoarse: "Has Li Changyan's body been brought back?"
"Brought it back, but," Gao Jiansong's breathing became difficult, "the head was taken away... It should be the soldiers from the southeast. The person who killed General Li is not sure who it is, because he faced that person head-on.
All the soldiers on the other side are dead, I suspect..."
Takamatsu didn't dare to say that person's name.
Li Xu raised his head: "Song Chengxuan."
Gao Jiansong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Song Chengxuan appeared in Nuerqian, killed Li Changyan, and rescued Mrs. Li. What if this all seemed to really mean?
Mrs. Li did not die and joined forces with Song Chengxuan.
It was a great shame and humiliation for both the Li family and Li Xu.
"Master Marquis," Takamatsu finally couldn't help but say, "Did you find your wife's body in the carriage at that time?"
The wife's funeral arrangements were all handled by Li Xu himself. Only Li Xu knew whether the body that was buried in Li's cemetery was that of Xu Qinghuan.
"Yes," Li Xu turned around calmly, "Ms. Xu is dead."
Li Xu went to see Li Changyan's body. Li Changyan's hands were still tightly held. It can be imagined that he was still fighting hard before he died.
The corpse had begun to stink, and Takamatsu and others did not know what to do with it.
Li Xu lowered his head and saw his own eyes on Li Changyan's armor. They were neither sad nor happy, no waves, no need for any covering.
"Let someone bury it!" Li Xu said calmly.
Gao Jiansong said: "Otherwise, I will lead people to snatch the general's head back. It would be better to have a whole body. Zhou Yue has already gone to pick up a highly respected mage to redeem the general. If this is it... I'm so sorry.
General."
Li Xu said: "No need to do anything, just be buried with the fallen soldiers."
Li Changyan worked hard for his own interests and wealth. He had already asked for kindness and received kindness, and there was no need for him to give more.
He still remembered the situation when Li Changyan learned about his life experience. Although he was angry, he quickly accepted the status quo.
The relationship between father and son is never as important as interests. Forgiving Mrs. Li and King Jian will obviously bring more benefits to the Li family. From then on, Li Changyan kept mentioning in his ears the sacrifices and efforts made by the Li family for him.
.
When he learned that Qing Huan was preparing to return to Northern Xinjiang from the capital, Li Changyan accused angrily: "Our father and son are fighting for you, and the entire Li family is planning for you. What are we doing? As long as we can help you rise to power, our Li family will not hesitate to die.
Then Mrs. Xu has enjoyed all the glory and wealth with you, but at a time like this she refuses to plan for you, what's the use of keeping her?
I heard that she had frequent contacts with the Marquis of Song in Beijing, and even used your guise to make friends with powerful people. Even Yu Jiang, who was close to the emperor, was a frequent visitor to the Li family. Who knows what she did behind your back.
No matter we win or lose in the future, we will never betray you. The Yu family, the Xiao family, and the Gao family are all loyal to you. This is not necessarily true for the Xu family. Maybe when the war starts, she will be the first one to escape."
After Li Changyan attacked Qing Huan, he didn't want to see Li Changyan. Li Changyan rushed to him and handed him the sword in his hand: "I am not your biological father, but I have always treated you well. How could I do this if I didn't think about you?
Regarding the matter, I have already thought about the outcome. If Mrs. Xu dies, I can take my own life for her. You just need to take my life to comfort Mrs. Xu."
Force him to choose, force him to accept, because it is crucial for Li Changyan that he wins this battle. If he can sit in that position, no one will laugh at Li Changyan because of his life experience, but not vice versa...
In the end, everything is profit.
Including King Jian, they clearly occupied Fengyang but were reluctant to send troops, so they used him to contain Song Chengxuan.
The winner is a prince and the loser is a bandit. The world only cares about the result and does not care about the sincerity.
Li Xu looked at Li Changyan's empty neck: "You have lived long enough."
Li Xu returned to the military tent and began to read the battle reports. The days of fighting were too hard. He leaned on the desk and fell asleep. In his dizziness, he seemed to feel someone opening the curtain and walking in, holding a bag in his hand.
A bowl of hot Yangchun noodles.
"Master Hou, it's time to eat."
Her eyes were like water, and there was a gentle smile on her lips.
In the cold winter, she is the only warm sun.
Li Xu stretched out his hand to ask her to come over and talk.
As soon as his body moved, he immediately woke up and saw an empty space in front of him.
