Tang Xuan

Li Jin patted his shoulders and stood up to leave. The sky gradually brightened.Lang Huai sat motionless, looking at the rising sun, his mind gradually calmed down.She got up and looked at Lu Laosan's bulging arms, hesitating like a half-grown boy who has done something wrong.

Li Xin was thrown to Tao Jun by her, Lang Huai said: "Third brother, come with me."

Lu Laosan blushed and agreed that the destruction of the East Palace was his responsibility, but Lang Huai didn't say a word of blame.After all, who would have expected that Li Qian could bring fire oil?

The two led a team of guards and rode over slowly.Although the fire was extinguished, the smoke was lingering, and the once beautiful and magnificent East Palace was completely changed, and the former scene could no longer be seen.

It was only at this time that Lang Huai showed unbearable grief, and his face was gloomy.Among the younger generation, she and Mingda loved Li Tang the most for some reasons.She knew that it was her own carelessness, if Mingda was allowed to come here, she would feel even more sad.Therefore, Lang Huai is duty-bound to collect the remains of the remains.

Lu Laosan said: "Miss should be in the backyard when the accident happened." Li Dong in his arms was soundly asleep, completely unaware that he had returned to the place where he grew up.

Lang Huai nodded, got off his horse and looked for the way.In recent years, she can also be regarded as a frequent visitor to the East Palace, and she is familiar with the road.Passing through the collapsed palace, the water in the pool was mostly dried up, and there were still dead fish floating around, making the desolation tight.

The small courtyard where Li Tang lives can still be seen in outline, but the gate is also down.The beams appeared to be half burnt, protruding from the house and still smoking.Lang Huai stood outside the door, but he didn't know whether he should give an order to disturb the tranquility.

Lu Laosan suddenly knelt down, the tower-like man couldn't help shaking his shoulders, and said in a rough voice: "Ah Huai! Third Brother, I'm sorry! Your Highness! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Lang Huai also stood a little stooped, and did not say a word for a long time.The guards didn't dare to show their anger, only Lu Laosan gradually couldn't suppress his wailing, and Li Dong's crying after being woken up.

Suddenly Lang Huai shouted, "Shut up!"

Lu Laosan was taken aback, Lang Huai's ears moved, with disbelief on his face, he confirmed the direction and ran away.The guards looked at each other and followed.

Bypassing the ruined palace, it should have been a gazebo.The pillars collapsed, and one of them hit a man on the shoulder.The man had long been nothing more than a human figure, charred.

Lang Huai rushed over, regardless of other people, and pushed the Jiaoren away, revealing a hole.With ecstasy, she tremblingly said: "Tang'er?!"

"Little uncle?" The childish voice inside made the guards who rushed over silent for a moment, and they cheered collectively.

The hole is not deep, only as high as an adult's neck.Lang Huai jumped in and climbed up with her on his back. Although she was in a mess and her face was dirty, but she had no scars, he couldn't help being overjoyed. "What's wrong?" Lang Huai asked her cautiously.

"No discomfort." Li Tang turned his head and looked around, and suddenly cried: "Where is the nanny?"

Only then did Lang Huai realize that the Jiao man was probably the Xi family who served Li Tang.I don't know how she escaped here with Li Tang, and saved Li Tang's life in the fire and the vicious pursuers.

Li Xun has been benevolent and righteous throughout his life, and has done many good deeds.Saving the life of Wen Yong's wife that day was such a good reward, leaving a pair of sons and daughters alive, it is an eye-opening to the heavens.

She suddenly remembered Li Xun's last words, looked at Li Tang's small face, gritted her teeth and said, "Take them back to Duke Mu's mansion quickly, and tell Sister Shang to hide them."

Lang Huai didn't explain anymore, these guards were all her confidantes, they were the Tiger Army who had been chosen by her thousands of times, seeing that she was determined, they all bowed silently.One of the captains, Weiss and Lu Laosan, held one in their arms, and quietly left while taking advantage of the chaos in the palace.

On the fourth day of September in the 34th year of Kaiyang, Emperor Ming issued an order at the court meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace to apprehend Li Qian's remaining party, ordered people to collect the remains of the former prince Li Xun, and buried them together with his wife and children.He ordered Mu Gonglang Huai to be the general of Pingxi, select the generals, draw half of the Yulin army, and set off for Anxi on the sixth day.

Only then did the courtiers realize that Anxi might have changed.

The Emperor Ming then decreed that Li Yu, the king of Boshan County, should be rescued in time, and he should be crowned prince.Feeling old, the Emperor Ming ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a date to hold the Zen Throne Hall, which was said to be located in Prince Li Yu.

Many officials died in the chaos this time. Fortunately, Xie Bi presided over the overall situation. With the cooperation of Wei Lingzhi, Tang Feiyan, Xie Jue and other capable officials, the chaos was quickly stabilized.The rebels of the imperial forest army were all punished according to the law, and they were not blamed for their defection before the battle. They were divided into the Pingxi army, and everything was in order.And Tatuo Tu, who was hidden the deepest, was hacked to death by the aggrieved Lu Laosan that night, so why he took refuge in Li Qian was unknown.

Lang Huai hadn't seen Mingda for a day, she stayed up all night and was injured, Tao Jun looked worried, but he knew he couldn't persuade her.

Finally, when it was time for dinner, Tao Jun just took some food, and when he returned to the side hall of the Xuanzheng Hall where he was temporarily stationed that day, he realized that his grandfather had disappeared again.

Tuoba took the steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't cry, someone from the harem invites you in, it should be Madam."

Tao Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

The Linde Hall was intact, and after the Ming Dynasty meeting, he locked himself in the side hall, with only Mingda by his side.

When Lu Youlin's body was found, Emperor Ming burst into tears, and his body fell apart instantly.Mingda comforted him for a long time before coaxing him to sleep.Fortunately, the chaos was settled, so she sent Lan Jun back to Weiyang Residence, and took Jiang Liang into the palace with the seal.

Jiang Liang shed tears when he knew that Lu Youlin had passed away.Seeing Mingda come out at this time, he said: "Miss, go and rest, the old servant will watch."

Mingda, who was always in high spirits on weekdays, stared blankly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

After walking to the side hall where he usually lived, Ming Da saw Lang Huai sitting on the stone steps at the door.She wasn't wearing a helmet, her bun was a little untied, and a few strands of hair fell loose, adding a rare touch of fragility.

Hearing Mingda's footsteps, Lang Huai suddenly stood up and pulled the corners of his lips at her. "I asked someone to bring hot water. My body is too dirty. I can finally wash it off later." Lang Huai took Mingda by his arm, and when the two of them entered the room, she made sure that there were no outsiders around. Whispered in her ear: "Sizi, Tang'er is alive."

Knowing that Mingda must be sad, Lang Huai didn't dare to waste a moment and told her quickly.Mingda exclaimed, grabbed Lang Huai's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Really?"

"I have ordered my confidants to send her and Dong'er back home." When the two walked to the edge, Lang Huai gently hugged her and sighed: "Before His Highness leaves, let me take Dong'er away. Clear, but I understand what he means, and I don't want my child to fall into the struggle for imperial power again. Besides, it's embarrassing for Dong'er to stay in the palace when the seventh brother ascends the throne."

"Brother Seven is not that kind of person!" Mingda suddenly said anxiously, Lang Huai stretched out his fingers and pressed her lips, stared into her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Si, Brother Seven is kind by nature. But the imperial power is like this. How can the person in the seat not change? For so many years, even though you and I have been outside the palace, have you really never touched the filth inside the palace walls?"

"Ah Huai, Daddy must be crazy, he would actually ask me to be the prince." Mingda told her about the day's trivial matters with confusion and mockery in his eyes.

The important event was established, and before the Emperor Ming fell ill, he issued an order to lock Concubine Liang Gui into the Liyuan, and put her in the cold palace in disguise.Then Xie Bi remonstrated to establish the crown prince, and the Emperor Ming opened his mouth and said that he was wise and intelligent, and frightened all the courtiers to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly.

"My grandmother can sit on the dragon chair, so why can't my daughter sit there!" Emperor Ming became angry, and even pointed at Li Yu, who was in a hurry, and said, "Do you think you are qualified?"

Li Yusha turned pale, knelt down and said, "I am the most unqualified, if my sister sits on the dragon chair, I will wipe the ashes on the dragon chair for my sister for the rest of my life!"

Standing beside Emperor Ming, Ming Da felt that he saw an absurd farce.She lay down beside Emperor Ming's lap and said, "Father, Ming Da is willing to be a free skylark for the rest of his life, but he doesn't want to be trapped in the palace. What's more, Ming Da doesn't know how to govern the country, how can he compare with the Empress?"

At this moment, no one expected that Wang Chaoyuan suddenly said: "If your majesty establishes a girl, please dismiss Duke Mu first. Otherwise, the foreign relatives will monopolize the power, and the country will not be a country."

It was the blunt words of the young minister of Dali Temple that finally calmed Emperor Ming down.The Western Regions are in chaos, and if Lang Huai is dismissed at this time, no one will be able to quell the chaos.Emperor Ming knew that time was running out, so he finally gave up the unrealistic idea, and changed his mind to make Li Yu the heir apparent, so he had the previous will.

"Your Majesty, the hero for half his life, if you say that the one you miss the most is probably your mother." The hot water has been brought in, and Mr. Zhu is guarding the door, and the two of them can finally take a good breath.

"Mother has passed away for many years, if she is still alive, I'm afraid I will have criticisms against my father in the past few years." Lang Huai's body smelled of blood, and Ming Da was scrubbing her with soap.Many small wounds had been added to her body, which had already adhered to one place, and could only be washed with a towel after the hot air had finished fumigation.

While talking, Ming Da suddenly fell on Lang Huai's back and murmured: "Ah Huai, you have to be good."

Lang Huai's eyes were sore, his thin lips trembled a few times, but he didn't know how to answer.

She's about to go off again.Compared with the 26 years of Kaiyang, this situation can be described as difficult.It took Lang Shi a year to prepare for his new expedition to Anxi, but Lang Huai only had a few days to spare.

What's more, from Canglan Lake, Chen Cang must be secretly hidden, and now he is in the Western Regions.It is unknown how many of the four Anxi towns survived the Tang Dynasty, and Lang Huai's available troops were less than [-].

Lang Huai's thin shoulder bones also trembled, she turned around, hugged Mingda in her arms, and said, "Sis, I really don't know how lucky I am to have you in this life. I also want to spend the rest of my life with you, ignoring the secular world from now on. But those who died in the battle in Anxi were soldiers of our Great Tang, and those who died were the people of our Great Tang! I am a general, how can I be a deserter at this moment!"

The water that contained the two of them was getting warmer and colder, but the tears falling from the chest were hot.Lang Huai held Mingda's face in his hands, and the pear blossoms in front of her were raining, which really made her want to run away and fly together.

"Si son," Lang Huai said, kissing those hot tears, "Chang'an cannot do without you. After all, Brother Seven doesn't understand government affairs. Without your help in secret, how can I calm down Anxi?"

"Ah Huai, when Chang'an is stable, I will go to Anxi to find you!" Although Ming Da was wronged, he also understood that Lang Huai was telling the truth, for her, she must also stabilize Chang'an for Seventh Brother.

"This..." Lang Huai was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered the promise the two had made before, so he changed his words and said firmly: "Okay. When you come, Brother Huai will take down Shule City and take you to the wine shop and music workshop there. We We will never be separated again."

"Yeah." Mingda leaned into her arms again, listened to the strong heartbeat, and closed his eyes.

The water was getting colder.Lang Huai didn't dare to delay, he stepped out with Mingda in his arms, and casually took a towel to dry his body.Mingda was exhausted, and she didn't feel much better, and she didn't care about her injuries.The brocade quilt shook and covered the two of them.

After all my thoughts went away, I fell asleep in a short time.

On the seventh day of September in the 34th year of Kaiyang, the Pingxi Army set off from camp.

Mu Gonglang Huai took command, with Lu Laosan Linda as the left and right generals, and Li Jin as the forward, dispatched more than [-] guards from each of the Imperial Forest Army, and marched towards Dunhuang.The more than [-] people recruited before will also belong to the Pingxi Army.At the same time, Li Yu ordered to urgently mobilize the border troops, one to fill Chang'an, and the other to supplement the insufficient strength of the Pingxi Army.The armies of the prefectures were dispatched, and each was commanded by its deputy general, and rushed directly to Dunhuang.

Five days after the army set out, Anxi's military report was finally sent back to Chang'an.The three cities of Khotan, Shule, and Suiye have been captured from Canglan Lake. Xue Hua, the governor of the Anxi Protectorate, and the main generals of the four towns were all assassinated to death.Kucha had already fallen into the enemy's hands. Fortunately, Wei Qianyi, the governor of Beiting Protectorate Mansion, led an army to attack and regained Kucha. Only then did he defend the fortress from Anxi to Chang'an, and keep Dunhuang and Gaochang behind him.

Chang'an was in an uproar for a while, thinking about the young general who led the army that day, she was only a weak crown, could she turn the tide?
