Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 89 Dou Yinger Assassinates Li Shimin Again

If he was the only one in the Li family, he might agree to Li Shimin's fight with the Turks.

After all, he has lived for so many years, and if he can do something for Datang with the rest of his life, it is considered that his life is not in vain.

But he's not alone!
He has to think about the people he wants to protect. For the rest, he just wants to avoid their edge, live a stable life, and ensure the safety and smoothness of future generations.

Li Shimin pursed his lips when he heard the words, and sighed softly after a long time: "Since General Li has said so, I can't force it anymore."

"General Li has a good rest, I will go back and make arrangements for peace."

Li Shimin's words undoubtedly pierced Li Jing's heart.

His lips trembled slightly, but Li Jing finally said nothing.

He just knelt on the ground quietly and kept kowtowing until Li Shimin left.

"General, this Marquis Wu..."

"No." Li Jing waved his hand, "Just tell him and let him rest assured."

Although the boy couldn't understand Li Jing's words, he still nodded and left.

As soon as Li Shimin went out, he ran into Luo Bin who was waiting at the door with a bunch of gifts, and frowned slightly.

But he quickly adjusted his expression, and said with a soft smile: "Luo Aiqing is also here to visit Old General Li?"

Luo Bin nodded when he heard the words, then bowed slightly to Li Shimin, and after saluting, he responded: "I heard that General Li is suffering from old illnesses, and he hasn't been to court for many days, so I came to see him."

"Marquis Wu is interested." Li Shimin smiled, then exchanged a few words with Luo Bin and left.

After Li Shimin left, Li Jing's servant trotted forward.

"Master Hou, my general is not feeling well today, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

"But he asked the little one to tell you, so that you can rest assured."

The boy's words undoubtedly gave Luo Bin a reassurance, and then he handed the things in his hand to the boy and said, "This is my heart, please pass it on to Old General Li."

"Okay." The boy replied and left.

But Li Shimin, who had already walked away, looked back suspiciously, and was slightly relieved when he saw that Luo Bin had been rejected.

Then he said to Changsun Wuji who was standing aside: "Why do you think Luo Bin came to see Li Jing?"

"It must be because of the battle with the Turks." Changsun Wuji said with a slight frown.

"Then what does he want to discuss with Li Jing? Do you want to persuade him to take command like I did, or tell him not to agree to me?" The creases between Li Shimin's brows were deeper.

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then chuckled and said: "This minister can't think of it either, but General Li hasn't seen him, so no matter what Luo Bin wants to say to General Li, it's useless."

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin nodded with relief, "That's right."

After a long time, he rested his forehead and sighed softly: "What worries me the most now is this matter of begging for peace."

Li Yuan was very dissatisfied with him at first, he wanted to make some achievements to impress Li Yuan, and then prove to Li Yuan that it was right to hand over the throne to him.

But he didn't expect that the throne would be like this only a year after he was given the throne.

Now they have to beg for peace from the Turks, who have always been the most shameless,

"Your Majesty, the bridge is naturally straight from the bow of the ship." Changsun Wuji also sighed, and then comforted: "As long as my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are still there, we will have the moment to make a comeback."

Li Shimin nodded, "That's the only way to go."

The two of them didn't sit in the sedan chair, thinking about observing the people's sentiments along the way.

Just as I walked to Suzaku Street, I heard a burst of discordant voices in the streets and alleys.

"Hey, Miss Wang, why are you still selling buns here? Hurry up and go home, pack up and leave the city. The Turks have already reached the Weishui River and are about to attack Chang'an."

"I'm afraid the world is about to change hands. If you don't want to suffer here, pack up your things and run away."

The one who was called Sister Wang was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Is it true? Didn't you say that His Majesty is a wise king today? Why can't you even win against a Turk?"

"I don't know, but it's absolutely true that the Turkic army has reached the Weishui River. Hurry up and go home and pack up your buns and don't sell buns here." The old woman said in a hurry.

"Okay, okay, I'll go home right away." Sister Wang responded and closed the stall immediately.

Li Shimin on the side was a little ashamed when he saw this, but he still couldn't hold back and stepped forward, "You don't need to clean up, Datang has decided to negotiate peace with the Turks, and there will be no more fights."

The old woman glared at Li Shimin, "Who do you think you are? If you say reconciliation, you reconcile?"

"Don't spread rumors here to delay our escape. If you want to stay in Chang'an, just stay here!"

The woman snorted coldly, then flung her sleeves and left.

"How do you talk? Do you know..."

Changsun Wuji's face darkened in anger, he was about to say something but was held back by Li Shimin, and then he turned and left with Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, that's a troublemaker, don't get angry." Changsun Wuji said with a frown.

Li Shimin shook his head upon hearing this, "I'm not angry."

"I just hate myself for being incompetent..."

People on the street were all discussing this matter, discussing how to get out of the city.

These words were extremely harsh in Li Shimin's ears, but he was helpless.

Just as Li Shimin was thinking, a pair of cold eyes in the alley not far from him were staring at him.

"Foolish Lord..."

Dou Ying'er clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.

When she learned that Datang was going to war with the Turks, she agreed to Luo Bin not to move Li Shimin for the sake of the people of Datang.

But now, because of Li Shimin's incompetence, the Tang army was forced to the Weishui River by the Turks, and could only survive by begging.

Since the two sides can no longer fight, it is useless to keep Li Shimin, the dog emperor...

Wanting to come here, Dou Yinger gritted her teeth and covered her face with her square scarf, then flew towards Li Shimin with the short blade in her hand.

Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately kicked Dou Yinger and then took two steps back.

Dou Yinger dodged lightly, and then rushed towards Li Shimin again from a very secretive angle.

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji was startled.

At this time, four hidden guards suddenly appeared from nowhere, one of them took Li Shimin behind him and protected him, and the other three rushed towards Dou Yinger.

This is Li Shimin's newly trained secret guard.

He has been feeling uneasy since he was assassinated last time, so after his secret guards were killed by Luo Bin, he quickly cultivated another batch in secret.

"Kill her!"

Li Shimin glared at Dou Yinger angrily, "No matter what, I will kill her!"

This time, we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as not to cause further troubles.

And Dou Yinger was startled when she saw this, she frowned slightly, then quickly turned and ran away.
