At his feet was Mo Hedu who was tied up in five flowers.

As more and more heads fell to the ground, Mo Hedu's eyes became redder and redder. He wanted to break free and rush forward, but the hand on his shoulder seemed to be in a tight grip. It was so heavy that he couldn't move at all.

"Cheng Yi!! Kill me!!! Kill me!!!"

In the end, Mo Hedu, who couldn't bear it any longer, let out a mournful roar.

"Not urgent."

Cheng Yi glanced at the few remaining Western Turkic people on the other side of the guillotine, and said lightly.

"It's your turn soon."

After finishing speaking, he looked down at Mo Hedu, and happened to meet the scarlet eyes of the other party.

"Is this unbearable?"

Cheng Yi sneered and said coldly.

"When the Western Turkic soldiers invaded the Tang Dynasty, you should have thought about what would happen to you."

Cheng Yi's voice was colder than the falling snowflakes.

"This king said that those who dare to violate the border will be killed without mercy!"

A strong murderous aura burst out following the last three words, and Mo Hedu was instantly overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from Cheng Yi's body, unable to lift his head anymore.

"Me! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

Mo Hedu gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence, a little bit of scarlet fell from the corners of his lips.

Cheng Yi only snorted coldly.

"What's the matter with you people? It's clear that you provoked first, why does it always seem like this king is bullying you every time you die?"

After saying this, Cheng Yi saw that the execution he did not want was over.

Glancing at the heads that rolled around, most of them with their eyes open, Cheng Yi raised his head expressionlessly and looked at the snowflakes that kept falling. After handing Mo Hedu to his subordinates, he turned and left the bloody smelling place. execution ground.

"Cheng Yi!!!"

Behind him, Mo He's hoarse and desperate roar rose straight into the sky.

"I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!!!"

Chapter 135 Dare to covet Lao Tzu's woman?

After staying in Yumen Pass for half a month, the Shence Army finally returned to the court.

As for the Western Turks, which has now become a no-man's land, Li Shimin has already sent a letter to Cheng Yilai, saying that he will set up a Protectorate in Western Turks, and he has already selected a candidate for the governor.

After this battle, not only the entire Mobei, but also some countries and tribes on the east and west sides of the Tang Dynasty once again deeply realized that Cheng Yi's reputation is well-deserved!

Early spring is approaching, and the Shence Army traveled from north to south, passing clusters of winter jasmine flowers that had bloomed ahead of schedule.

When the army finally returned to Chang'an City, the harsh winter had been completely replaced by the spring of March.

As soon as the Shence Army was ordered to return directly to the camp, Cheng Yi was invited into the Daming Palace by the eunuch who came in a hurry.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Walking into the Tai Chi Hall, Cheng Yi saw Li Shimin's unattractive expression at a glance.

"But what happened?"

Cheng Yi frowned and asked.

Hearing this, Li Shimin finally let out a long sigh, and then he frowned and looked at Cheng Yi.

"The battle between Chengqian and Qingque is almost on the surface."

On the imperial case in front of Li Shimin, among the piles of memorials, more than half of them were memorials of the party members attached to Li Chengqian and Li Tai who attacked each other.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

It seems that it should have nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi went to the imperial case again, reached out to grab a few memorials, and read them at a glance.

After reading it, Cheng Yi pouted and threw the basic memorial back on the imperial case.

"Your Majesty is prepared to do so?"

Most of the things written in those memorials were trivial matters, but it was not easy to smell a bit of unusual taste from those trivial things.

"If I knew what to do, I wouldn't worry about it."

Li Shimin said with a splitting headache that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for five days.

"Has Your Majesty ever thought that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei may have been provoked by someone's heart?"

Cheng Yi tentatively opened his mouth.

Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Yi. He didn't expect Cheng Yi to want to go with him!

"To tell you the truth, I have had such a guess before, but Chengqian and Qingque have been fighting each other for a long time, and I am really not sure."

Li Shimin said in distress.

The corner of Cheng Yi's mouth twitched: "Why is this so difficult? Just send someone to investigate carefully?"

Li Shimin sighed deeply again: "When I thought of this place before, I sent people to investigate, but found nothing."

Nothing?

Cheng Yi knew that there was a dark force under Li Shimin's hands that no one knew about. Those people were always in a hurry and acted very strangely.

If even they can't find anything...

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but glanced at Li Shimin again, and saw that the other party was looking at him with burning eyes.

"The minister can relieve His Majesty's worries."

Cheng Yi chuckled secretly and said.

Hearing Cheng Yi's words, the boulder hanging in Li Shimin's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he was greatly relieved.

After that, Cheng Yi asked Li Shimin a few more words, and then left in Li Shimin's infinite expectation.

Although he had promised Li Shimin to investigate, but now that the Shence Army had just returned to Chang'an City, he decided to let the Shence Army's people rest for a few days before taking action.

Anyway, this kind of princely dispute is not so urgent yet.

After coming out of Daming Palace, Cheng Yi strolled all the way back to his General's Mansion.

……

This time, the Shence Army rested comfortably for a total of ten days before Cheng Yi gave orders to Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Shence army camp, meeting hall.

Li Feng and the others changed several times, and in the end, Qin Shandao, who was the most impatient, asked a question.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is suspicious of the Crown Prince and King Wei..."

Qin Shandao didn't finish his sentence, but the people present were all smart, so they naturally heard what he had to say.

Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty always suspected that someone in Chang'an stretched his hand too far and broke the brotherhood between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei."

Brotherhood?

Maybe others here don't know, but as the first cousin of the two, the eldest Sun Chong really knows the two of them very well.

"Achong, tell me."

Just as Chang Sun Chong's thoughts were flying in all directions, and he didn't know where to go, Cheng Yi suddenly called his name.

Hearing Cheng Yi's voice, Changsun Chong came back to his senses.

He speculated back and forth on the unspoken words, and finally spoke after confirming that there was no problem.

After what Chang Sun Chong said, everyone finally knew that these two Highnesses who came out of the same mother's womb had been at odds with each other since they were young.

From fighting for favor in front of parents, to the turbulent undercurrent in the imperial study, to the current court battles, in the past ten years, there have been only a handful of years where they can live in peace.

And those few days were all related to Li Lizhi without exception.

It's also strange to say that no matter how Li Chengqian and Li Tai fight to the death outside, every time they are in front of Li Lizhi, they can maintain a respectful appearance of brothers and friends.

So much so that in the past few years, even Empress Changsun has noticed that her two sons seem to be at odds, but Li Lizhi still believes that her two brothers are very united and friendly.

After listening to Chang Sun Chong's words, Cheng Yi first shook his head with a helpless smile, and then became serious again.

"How much do you know about the people around them?"

Cheng Yi asked again.

Changsun Chong shook his head helplessly: "After the magistrate, I have less contact with the two highnesses, and because of the father of the subordinate, the two highnesses are not very close to the subordinates."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but understand.

As Li Shimin's hard-core confidant, Changsun Wuji, as long as Li Chengqian and Li Tai have some brains, they will seek their own death to win over their uncles who are in power.

"This time, the main purpose is to check the people around the two Highnesses."

Cheng Yi glanced over the faces of the people in front of him one by one, and instructed again.

"Yes!"

After the words fell, several people got up and left the meeting hall at the same time.

On the third day after the order went down, Cheng Yi received another letter from Xiye before anything was found out about the matter between Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Looking at the five big characters "Prince Sheng Ming's personal invitation" on the envelope, Cheng Yi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

After quickly reading the letter, Cheng Yi's face suddenly became gloomy, as if it could drip water.

King Xiye's letter this time was not for Xiye, but to tell Cheng Yi another matter that was very important to him.

It turned out that since Cheng Yi brought the frost worm to Chang'an City, King Dabolu immediately sent spies to sneak into Chang'an City in an attempt to find the location of the frost worm.

It's a pity that because Cheng Yi acted too secretly, the other party could not find any clues.
