Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 103 Returning to Chang'an City

Chapter 133 Returning to Chang'an City

War is always a conflict of interests.

As the sun set, outside the city of Yangzhou, the moose battle began. The quaint city walls were already covered with scars.

After several hours of offensive and defensive battles, more than half of Yangzhou's more than 2000 defenders have been lost.

There were broken limbs everywhere, and blood stained the city walls.

However, the bandits under the city wall continued to fight desperately.

On the city wall, Jiang Yan's face was tired and his body was crumbling.

However, he still supported the city wall with his hands, commanding the defenders with a hoarse voice.

He knew that if he fell, Yangzhou would really be over.

More than 2 people in Yangzhou City will be killed by these bandits.

Chen Yu hid aside, staring closely at the bandits who kept charging, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.

Yangzhou's defenders are at the end of their strength, and it won't take long for Yangzhou to fall into his hands.

Anger distorts people, and Chen Yu is like this now, because of jealousy in his heart, he did such a desperate thing.

Seeing the people around him fall down one by one, Jiang Yan sighed, grabbed the sword from the guard next to him, and stared angrily, "I will fight with you!"

Rumble!
But at this moment, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then a group of thousands of cavalry charged forward.

Jiang Yan was even more desperate. Could it be that the bandits still have accomplices?
But gradually, the despair on Jiang Yan's face turned into excitement.

For he saw, among the cavalry, a banner fluttering in the wind.

That is the dragon flag of Datang!
at this time.

Seeing that the gap in Yangzhou's defenders was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Yu laughed grimly and shouted: "Everyone, charge, as long as you break through Yangzhou, you will have money and women!"

This condition is indeed very tempting for the bandits. One or two regained their confidence and continued to rush towards Yangzhou.

But when they were rushing to kill, they suddenly heard a dull sound from behind.

Hearing this voice, Chen Yu's expression changed, then he left and turned to look behind.

Not only him, but even the bandits who were attacking the city couldn't help but stop.

After seeing this, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Suddenly, densely packed Tang cavalry appeared behind them. Without any hesitation, these cavalry were like a huge bulldozer, destroying all the targets standing in front of them.

"Saved, we are saved!"

Jiang Yan murmured a few words dully, and then his voice became louder and louder, even tears fell down.

Nothing makes people cry more than the aftermath of a disaster.

Hope, like raindrops, fell on every Yangzhou person.

In a short while, these bandits were wiped out by the sudden cavalry.

Looking at the completely defeated team, Chen Cang couldn't help but collapsed to the ground and passed out.

...

The surviving Yangzhou defenders and people began to clean the battlefield.

Chen Yu and the other bandit leaders were killed on the spot. As for the rest of the bandits, they were placed under supervision and awaited to be dealt with by Chang'an.

In the governor's mansion, Jiang Yan pursed his lips tightly and looked at the young man sitting in front of him with a complicated expression.

He did not expect that the person who finally helped him and saved tens of thousands of people in Yangzhou would be Li Chengqian.

For Li Chengqian, Jiang Yan actually had no hatred.

The reason why he made things difficult for Li Chengqian before was because of the grievances between Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

He is Li Tai's man, so naturally he has to deal with Li Chengqian together.

At that time, he didn't dare to embarrass him too much, at most he just sneered, but in the end he was punished by Li Chengqian, who had diarrhea for two days, which tortured him terribly.

Of course, it is impossible for Jiang Yan to know that Li Chengqian did it, so there is really no grievance between them.

But today, Li Chengqian led the cavalry to help him at a critical moment.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian's sudden arrival, Yangzhou would undoubtedly be destroyed!

"Thank you, Your Highness, for resolving Yangzhou's urgent situation!"

After a long time, Jiang Yan tidied up the messy official uniform, and then bowed deeply to him.

Li Chengqian accepted it calmly, and then waved his hand lightly, "Okay, you are very lucky. This king is going to Chang'an to report on his duties. As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, he encountered bandits attacking the city."

As he said that, he curled his lips, "You are really inferior. You are so little bandits, so I beat you like this."

Jiang Yan smiled wryly, but was powerless to refute.

Because what Li Chengqian said was right, the performance of the Yangzhou defenders this time was indeed very poor.

After a while, he said solemnly: "Your Highness, I will remember today's matter. In the future, if there is any useful place for you to go up and down, please feel free to open your mouth. I will never refuse!"

Li Chengqian squinted his eyes. This sentence was actually equivalent to surrendering. Could it be that Jiang Yan decided to mess with himself?

However, as a local official, his role is actually not great, and even if it is spread, it will be said that he is forming a party for personal gain and intending to rebel.

"Hehe, I'm in Qianzhou, what can I do for help?" Li Chengqian smiled lightly.

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, to be honest, one month after he is dismissed from office, he will be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he may be able to help His Highness by then."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry... but the second in command of the Ministry of Industry, he also has a little say in the court.

Now he is thinking about how to arrange his people in the court, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door, what a mistake!

"Haha, then I would like to congratulate you first. If you have anything to do in the future, you can find me!" Li Chengqian said lightly.

Jiang Yan's face brightened, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your official understands!"

Li Chengqian looked at him, "Where is King Wei?"

Jiang Yan said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."

"No!"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "You still have to follow the king of Wei, you are a chess piece that the king placed on the side of the king of Wei, so everything remains the same, but you must not forget it!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although I am not a sage, I have read the sage books for decades. If I don't even know how to repay my kindness, then wouldn't I have read all the sage books for nothing!"

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth raised, he never thought that passing through Yangzhou would yield such a big harvest!
A minister of the Ministry of Industry... And he was placed next to Li Tai, which would be of great help to him in his future work!
After resting for a few days and waiting for Yangzhou to repair the battle damage, Li Chengqian continued his journey with the White Robe Army.

...

Ten days later, Chang'an City!

After more than two years, when he saw this majestic city again, Li Chengqian... felt nothing in his heart.

To be honest, he only stayed in Chang'an for a few days, so naturally he couldn't have any emotions.

"Wooooow, Chang'an..."

But Su Han, when he saw the Chang'an city wall, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li Chengqian patted her head, "Be good, there will be opportunities in the future!"

"Ok!"

Su Han wiped away his tears, and then the carriage slowly drove into Chang'an...

"stop!"

At this moment, the guards suddenly stopped their progress.

Li Chengqian got off the sedan chair and said with a straight face: "Presumptuous, you don't even know me?"

Seeing Li Chengqian, the guard was taken aback and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness King Qian!"

"Hmph, they are all my king's guards!" Li Chengqian snorted coldly.

The guards were a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, without His Majesty's decree, these guards are not allowed to enter Chang'an..."

Li Chengqian glanced at him, then took out the Holy Ink and waved it in front of him, "Here is the Holy Ink. Can I bring people into the city now?"
