Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

After Shen Lian left, Yang Zhao returned to the Crown Prince's East Palace.

In the main hall of the East Palace, I met Li Xiuning.

"Brother Zhao."

Li Xiuning called softly.

In private, she almost always calls Yang Zhao that way.

Because Li Xiuning is used to this name, she also thinks this name is more intimate.

"Haven't you rested yet?"

Yang Zhao asked with a smile.

This point is too late, Li Xiuning should rest.

"Not too sleepy."

Li Xiuning replied with a smile.

"Because of the Li family's affairs?"

Yang Zhao walked over and asked.

What happened in the court hall was not a secret, and it was not surprising for Li Xiuning to know.

"Ah."

Li Xiuning didn't want to lie to Yang Zhao, so she simply nodded in response.

The struggling smile also dissipated, and his expression was a little sad.

"Xiu Ning, actually you only need to say one thing."

Before Yang Zhao could finish speaking, he was stopped by Li Xiuning.

"Brother Zhao, I support all your decisions. Some emotions are inevitable, and things have reached this point and it is impossible to ease them."

Li Xiuning said.

She is very clear and understands how far the conflict between the royal family and the Li family has reached.

Hearing this, Yang Zhao said no more.

He also didn't intend to talk about the Li family.

"Brother Zhao, rest, it's getting late."

Li Xiuning said proactively.

She has adjusted her emotions, and the sorrow between her brows has reduced a lot.

"Ok."

Yang Zhao withdrew his thoughts.

In fact, he still felt sorry for Li Xiuning, but what Li Xiuning said just now was true.

Things have come to this point, there is no room for maneuver.

And all of this was brought on by the Li family.

Then Yang Zhao flicked his long sleeve, and the candles in the entire hall were extinguished.

The hall was plunged into darkness, and there were one or two faint sounds.

Five miles away from Longmen, Li Shimin and the remaining [-] troops stopped to take a final rest.

Not long after he stopped to rest, Li Yuan woke up.

"Mr. Tang, how are you doing?"

Everyone hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Li Yuan was speechless, but kept waving his hands.

He only felt that his throat and eyes were dry, and he would not be able to adapt for a while.

It wasn't until Li Yuan drank a little water that the situation got better.

"Where are we?"

Li Yuan asked in a hoarse voice.

"Back to Tang Gong, we are not far from Longmen at present, and we can reach Longmen by walking another five miles."

Liu Wenjing replied.

"Ah."

Li Yuan nodded, his expression relaxed a lot.

This shows that they have passed the danger and only need to return to Longmen.

"Father, the boy has decided to return to Taiyuan."

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly spoke.

"what?"

After Li Yuan heard this, his mood suddenly became agitated.

And he coughed continuously, until his face flushed before he eased up.

"I managed to get to Chang'an with great difficulty, so I'll go back at this time?"

Li Yuan asked.

"Mr. Tang, there is no problem with the second son's decision."

Liu Wenjing sighed.

Then, he told Li Yuan all the content and judgment of the previous discussion.

"Tang Jian joined the Sui army?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, otherwise it would have been planned for the Sui Army from the very beginning."

Yin Kaishan said.

"No, it's impossible."

Li Yuan didn't want to believe it.

He knew Tang Jian's loyalty in his heart.

Such a person, how could it be possible to say the opposite?
"But the matter of the letter is difficult to explain, and it is impossible for Yue Fei to return to Chang'an quickly."

Duan Zhixuan said.

After hearing this, Li Yuan fell into a long silence.

"Father, there is another message."

After hesitating for a long time, Li Shimin faltered and said.

"what news?"

Li Yuan asked subconsciously.

"Brother's life or death is uncertain."

Liu Wenjing and others were shaking their heads, signaling to Li Shimin not to speak, but Li Shimin still said it.

"Cough cough."

Li Yuan's eyes burst out, and he began to cough violently again.

Li Jiancheng is the eldest son!

It is equivalent to Li Yuan's most beloved heir, how could he accept the sad news?

Seeing that Li Yuan was about to vomit blood, he fell into a coma again.

Li Shimin changed his words and said that Li Jiancheng had a high chance of successfully escaping.

Besides, Pei Ji, Liu Hongji and others are all fine, and they should be on their way back to Longmen.

After hearing these words, Li Yuan calmed down a bit.

"how come?"

He couldn't believe it.

How could a great battle that was bound to be won turn out like this.

All dreams disappeared without a trace at this time.

Li Shimin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Duke Tang, return to Taiyuan."

Liu Wenjing and others suggested.

The rest of the people looked at Li Yuan nervously.

Whether to return to Taiyuan, the decision is still in the hands of Li Yuan.

"Shimin, thanks to you this time, the Li family can retain their blood and manpower."

Li Yuan didn't answer, but looked at Li Shimin and said.

The scene of Li Shimin taking a breakthrough and looking for a way out in a desperate situation is deeply engraved in Li Yuan's mind.

"Father, this is what children should do."

Li Shimin said quickly.

"So it's up to you to decide whether to go back to Taiyuan or stick to Longmen."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

He also doesn't know how to command the Li family's army.

Since Li Shimin can provoke a big responsibility at a critical moment, let him decide.

"Hail still decided to return to Taiyuan."

Li Shimin was ecstatic in his heart, but pretended to be dignified on the surface.

Li Yuan's choice shows that he is regarded as the future successor of the Li family.

This also means that Li Yuan thinks that Li Jiancheng is more ill than good.

Even if Li Jiancheng is still alive, Li Shimin's status will increase a lot.

"Okay, then go back to Taiyuan."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Whoa."

While several people were talking, there was a sudden noise.

Everyone was tense, Duan Zhixuan and Yin Kaishan approached with their hands.

There was a loud noise, as if someone was moving cautiously.

Duan Zhixuan gave Yin Kaishan a look, and the latter understood.

At the same time, the two pushed aside the bushes blocking their view, and saw a face full of dirt staring at them in horror.

"Duan Zhixuan?"

Just as Duan Zhixuan was about to strike, his face suddenly shouted.

"Lord Pei?"

Hearing that the voice sounded familiar, Duan Zhixuan quickly stopped and asked cautiously.

"Yes, it's me!"

Pei Ji quickly replied, and wiped off the dirt on his face.

Seeing their faces clearly, Duan Zhixuan and Yin Kaishan both heaved a sigh of relief.

The two walked out with Pei Ji, accompanied by hundreds of Tang Jun.

"Duke Tang!"

After Pei Ji saw Li Yuan, he walked over quickly.

"You'll be fine!"

He said with snot and tears.

"You are really alive!"

There was also a touch of joy on Li Yuan's face.

"Where is it built, and where is Liu Hongji?"

As Li Yuan asked, he looked around the crowd.

"It's all lost."

Pei Ji replied with a wry smile.

Tang Jun fled in all directions, and everyone was forced to separate.
