Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Li Xi had never killed anyone before, so he couldn't do it.

He was waving his whip to save people.

He saved those who wore Daye armor, no matter generals or soldiers.

In fact, his appearance was a great encouragement to the Daye soldiers.

The future prince will fight with them!

The entire city of Chang'an is their backing!

Someone raised his voice and shouted: "Protect the prince! Protect Chang'an!"

——In the hearts of the soldiers, Li Xi has already been regarded as a prince, and he deserves it.

For a while, morale was boosted, and the killing sound shook the sky.

The Turkic soldiers will retreat steadily.

Someone rode out of the city tower on a horse, with a human head on a blood-stained red-tasseled spear, and rushed into the formation regardless of swords, guns, swords and halberds, shouting——

"Here is the head of the great Turkic prince, please surrender quickly!"

It was Chai Yang who spoke.

What he holds in his hand is the "women's tassel" that Princess Jinyang has used for more than 40 years.

Princess Jinyang had just passed away, and Chai Yang had no time to grieve. He couldn't let his grandmother die in vain.

When the Turkic soldiers saw the head of their eldest prince, they immediately became confused. Some people turned their horses and fled, while others rushed to kill them, shouting in Turkic——

"Kill Prince Daye! Avenge the prince!"

These people are the prince's personal soldiers. Even if they return to Turkic by chance, they will be killed by Khan and buried for the prince.For them, only by killing Li Xi can they have a chance of survival.

The threat of death inspired their fighting spirit, and waves of Turkic soldiers rushed towards Li Xi like wolves.

Some people rushed to the gate of the city and blocked the gate with siege vehicles to prevent Daye soldiers from coming out to rescue them.

No one expected that the Turkic prince was still ambushing a team of archers here.As soon as Li Xi approached the city gate, the Turkic soldiers hid in the dark and shot arrows.

Seeing Fei Longwei lose the lottery one after another, Li Xi became anxious.

"If you don't enter the city, just fight outside!"

"Run north, out of their range!"

"Two iron shield soldiers come out, go, draw those grandchildren out to me!"

The orders were issued one after another, decisively and calmly.

However, the situation is still not good.

This Turkic army was originally arranged by the Turkic prince to ambush Haoyue here—yes, although Haoyue and the Turkic prince had temporarily formed an alliance, they did not trust each other.

Haoyue arranged a manpower, intending to kill the eldest prince and erase the evidence of her collusion with the Turks after the matter is completed.The Turkic Prince also arranged for people to lie in ambush outside the city disguised as ordinary people, trying to kill Haoyue and monopolize Chang'an.

It was also unlucky to catch up with Li Xi and meet these killers.

These people are not using ordinary bows and arrows, but long-range and highly lethal arrows.

Li Xi ran while beating, and was forced to the slope by the enemy, almost becoming a living target.

Fig was anxious, "I can't go on like this, or I might as well rush to the gate of the city, as long as I can rush there, I can save Alang!"

The flying dragon guards immediately said: "Okay, let's protect the little prince in the middle, let's fight!"

"Fight ass!" Li Xi flatly refused.

When he can't hear it?

These people wanted to use their bodies as shields to block arrows for him. When he reached the city gate, there would be no more than three people around him who could breathe!

The Flying Dragon Guards looked at each other and said solemnly: "My lord, our lives are worthless, it is worth it to be by your side these few months. Being able to send you safely into the city today is not in vain in this life! "

"For me, life is worth money."

"Go, run for your life!"

Li Xi wiped the blood on his face, flicked his long whip, and rushed to the highest point.

The Turkic soldiers pursued him relentlessly.

Suddenly, heavy horseshoes sounded from the opposite side, smoke and dust billowed, and there seemed to be many people.

Fig lost his voice: "Could it be the Turkic reinforcements?"

Li Xi also panicked, God, he won't be so unlucky, right?

Just as he was about to find a place to hide, he saw a tall figure wearing armor and holding a spear, stepping through the billowing dust and smoke, riding a horse.

He ran very fast, his body leaned forward slightly, the wind and sand raised the tassels on his helmet, even though his face could not be seen clearly, Li Xi recognized it at a glance...

It's Brother Shuyun!

It's his brother Shuyun!

"Brother Shuyun!"

Turkic soldiers or something, count as a ball!

His brother Shuyun is here, whether he is an archer or a nude archer, they will all die!

The two horses met, and both raised their front hooves.

The person on the horse also stepped on his feet and stood up.

"Brother Shu Yun!" Li Xi let go of the rein and rushed over regardless.

Wei Yu stretched out his long arms and hooked the man in front of him.

There was stubble on his chin, his face was stained with wind and frost, and there was helplessness and doting in his deep eyes.

"I knew you wouldn't stay in the palace well."

"I knew you wouldn't go to Hebei properly, so I'll come out to pick you up right now." Xiao Fu Wang grinned without guilt.

They looked at each other and smiled, each feeling at ease.

Behind them, the well-trained cavalry climbed over the high slope and surrounded the chasing Turkic regiment.

When the bow was trampled under the horse's hoof, the Turkic soldiers hadn't reacted yet.

what happened?

Why did they lie flat and get beaten instead?

It is obvious that he is going to seize the future prince of Daye!

When Wei Yu came back, Li Xi's state immediately changed.

The waist is no longer straight, the whip is no longer flicked, the talk has become more, and she will complain about it, and she still leans stickily in the arms of her man to play awe-inspiring.

For example, tie up the Turkic soldiers who were chasing him just now and kick them one by one.

They didn't go back to the city immediately, but went to join Li Hong.

"Father Smelly is back too?" Li Xi asked.

Wei Yu explained as he walked: "After the disaster relief convoy set off, they originally took the official road, but it was blocked by heavy snow as soon as they arrived in Jinzhou. After discussing with Prince Gong, I decided to take a detour."

Li Xi gritted her little white teeth, "You didn't discuss with the second brother, did you, the second brother listened to you?"

Wei Yu smiled, "Prince Gong was also courteous to me because of Chong Chong's face."

"That's right." Li Xi poked his stubble-covered chin, "Go on."

It was this decision that saved Chang'an from catastrophe.

Wei Yu saw messy footsteps in the mountains, as well as traces of hunting. The footprints were deep, and they hunted wild animals such as boars and black bears. They were not like ordinary mountain people, but more like armor-piercing soldiers.

Wei Yu was worried, so he asked someone to investigate quietly, and only then did he discover the Turkic soldiers in the mountain depression.

With just a few words, Wei Yu deduced that the Turkic soldiers had changed their route, and that the attack on Yuguan was just a cover, and they were actually trying to sneak into the Central Plains secretly by way of the Western Turks.

Wei Yu immediately anticipated the crisis in Chang'an City, and reported to Li Hong through the white pigeon.

Li Hong ordered the main force to go to the northwest to stop the Turkic army, and then returned to Chang'an with Wei Yu each with a team of troops.

Just in time.

Wei Yu rescued Li Xi.

Li Hong stopped the remaining Turkic soldiers outside Chang'an.

Standing on the hillside, Li Xi saw Li Hong's appearance on the battlefield.

It's not like the anger and unspeakableness he faced when the officials made things difficult, the submissiveness and relaxation he was in front of the Queen Mother, the arrogant and clingy when he was in love with Zheng Jiarou, and it's not like being blown away by his own son. The look of the beard staring.

On the battlefield, he was brave and decisive, killing the Quartet.

The enemy's blood splattered on his face without blinking his eyes; he didn't take pleasure in killing, but he never relented, his eyes were always firm and calm.

Occasionally, the hidden sorrow is revealed, for example, when a soldier of Daye was injured trying to defend him from an arrow, and he watched the soldier of Daye being killed, but there was no time to save him...

It may not be appropriate to say this, but Li Xi really felt that the image of the smelly father in his mind suddenly became taller.

The night before, he realized how difficult it is to be a good emperor.

At this moment, I saw again how powerful this person is who is unwilling to call out "Grandfather" seriously.

His biological father was a hero enough to make him admire.

This battle was fought from New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve.

Great cause won.

No cheering, no celebration.

Scarlet blood stained the bluestone road in front of Chongxuan Gate, there were enemies and relatives.

Li Xi said in a muffled voice: "Jinyang's aunt died, and before she died, she and Chai Yang killed the Turkic prince."

Li Hong paused and nodded slowly.

Li Xi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Haoyue took her handwriting and knocked on the Chongxuan Gate, attracting Turkic soldiers into the city... But she must have been deceived by Haoyue."

Li Hong sighed lightly, it was no longer important.

At the gate of the city, Concubine Chai brought all the young and old members of the Chai family to kneel in a pool of blood.

Next to it, the body of Princess Jinyang was just there, with only a white handkerchief covering her face.The armor on his body was not removed, and the blood-stained tasseled spear was placed beside him.

Seeing Li Hong, Prince Chai fell deeply on the ground, without saying a word, just kowtowed heavily.

Chai Yang knelt with his head down, his eyes were red.

Chai Lanlan gritted her teeth, not letting herself cry.

Li Xi felt uncomfortable, and gently tugged at Li Hong's sleeve.

Li Hong paused, turned his head to look at Princess Jinyang, and said, "My condolences to Chai Qing, the funeral of my aunt is important, so I will ask the officials for leave."

Allowing him to attend the funeral is equivalent to euphemistically telling the Chai family that Princess Jinyang will not be held accountable for "treason" and the Chai family will not be implicated.

"Thank you saint!"

Chai Fuma lay down deeply on the cold green bricks, tears streaming down his face.

Chai Lanlan finally stopped being depressed and began to cry.

The acquaintance of the little lady wanted to go over to comfort her, but was held back by her family—whether the Chai family was guilty or not was uncertain, so it was best not to get involved with them at this time.

Li Mujin rushed over regardless, and put her arms around Chai Lanlan's shoulders.

The second one to pass was Wei Qingqing.

Originally, Chai Lanlan didn't like her the most, even after the rift disappeared, the two of them didn't get close.At this time, Wei Qingqing quietly stood beside Chai Lanlan.

Cui Lanxin and Wang Rongrong also followed.

Chai Lanlan lay in the arms of her sisters, crying into tears.

The eldest prince and Haoyue are not far away.

Haoyue died, stabbed to death by the eldest prince.

The Jinwu Guard found Haoyue when he was counting the battlefield, and wanted to take him away, but the First Prince refused, and just sat on the ground blankly, hugging his already cold body.

The Jinwu guards had no choice but to stand in a circle and wait for Li Xi to make a decision.

Li Xi didn't want to make a decision, so she pushed it to Li Hong.

Li Hong had the heart to strangle the eldest prince to death, if it wasn't for his bad brain, Haoyue wouldn't be able to cause so many things easily!

It was rare for the first prince to be brave. He knelt down and climbed up to Li Hong, begging, "Father can punish me in any way, demote me to the northwest, and stripped me of my title. A whole corpse! He is... is..."

"Shut up!" Li Hong kicked him away angrily, and said to Jin Wuwei, "What are you doing in a daze? You knocked him out, take him away!"

Then, the eldest prince was really knocked out and taken away.

Haoyue's body was also wrapped in a straw mat and sent directly to the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Xi watched this wave of operations, silently took two steps back, took Wei Yu's hand, and slipped to the tower.

In this battle, Feilongwei and Longwujun suffered the most casualties, and the generals, lieutenants, and fire chiefs at all levels are counting the number of people.

The Jinwu Guards, in a team of ten, strictly investigated the escaped fish that had slipped through the net.

The street patrolmen brought carts of clean water to wash the blood on the ground.

The people also opened the doors one after another, cooked porridge and steamed cooking cakes, packed them in bamboo baskets, and silently stuffed them to the passing soldiers.

Usually, they only felt that they were mighty and imposing. After this battle, the people really realized that this armor carried not only glory, but also responsibility.

Standing on the tower, Li Xi watched this scene, her amber eyes were no longer as clear as a child's, as if there was something more.

Wei Yu raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Chongchong, this is Chang'an, the place you want to protect."

Li Xi nodded slightly, and then nodded again.

He turned his head and said, "You still have to go back to Hebei."

Not a question.

Wei Yu looked at him without saying a word.

"Let's go, you have your responsibilities, and I have mine, I won't stop you."

Li Xi grinned, "It's agreed, on the Lantern Festival, by the Qujiang Pool, you want to accompany me to visit the garden and enjoy the lanterns."

A look of confusion flashed across Wei Yu's eyes, "Okay."

His worms have grown, at such a high price.
