All Heavens Planes

Kou Zhong felt itchy, and couldn't help but ask, "Old Chen, what kind of maneuver did you fight with Beauty Hou?"

Chen Chen grinned and said, "The Buddha said that the secrets of heaven should not be revealed~"

Kou Zhong became angry immediately, pretending to be angry and said, "Good old Chen, believe it or not, all the brothers will surround you and beat you up."

"Try if you have confidence, and see who is going to get a fat beating~" Chen Chen and Kou Zhong laughed, and brought up the gorgeous brocade box about the size of a foot that Wei Lianxiang left behind, and put it on the table .

The brocade box was not locked, and it opened with a light lift.After seeing the contents of the brocade box, Chen Chen's complexion changed, and he said in amazement, "Wu Hou is really ruthless!"

Kou Zhong and the others gathered around, they were gasped when they saw it.There are two items inside the brocade box, one of which is a command talisman, and the other is the head of Qi Wang Li Yuanji!

It was getting dark and it was almost You hour.

Li Jiancheng paced back and forth in the palace, looking very anxious.After some recuperation by the imperial doctor, although he could not recover all his skills, he was able to act normally like an ordinary person.

At this moment, Da Zhimai stepped in, and Li Jiancheng hurriedly asked, "Any news from Yuanji?"

Da Zhi shook his head slightly, and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness, there is still no news from King Qi, and the subordinates ordered people to search the Hall of Martial Virtue, but they could not find the slightest trace..."

"Where did Yuan Ji go at this critical juncture? It's really not enough to succeed, but more to fail!" Li Jiancheng was upset and angry, his eyes were burning with fire, and he said bitterly, "Leave him alone, how is the arrangement?"

Da Zhi's expression was solemn, and he replied, "It's all done according to His Royal Highness's orders. Fifteen thousand garrison troops are lurking around the imperial city, and another five thousand Changlin troops are lurking inside the Xuanwu Gate."

After finishing speaking, his tone paused slightly, with a trace of guilt and unbearable expression on his face, and he continued, "The manpower has been deployed, and it can only be activated when King Qin and... Kou Zhong and his party pass through Xuanwu Gate and enter Taiji Palace. The imperial guards stationed at Xuanwu Gate Commanded by Chang He, the front and rear attacks will definitely wipe them out. The three hundred Turkic elite soldiers under me are also ready and ready to be used as a surprise attack force at any time."

Li Jiancheng nodded silently, with a cold light in his eyes, and said to himself, "Second brother, don't blame me for being cruel, blame us for being born in Tianjia..."

Da Zhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "The king of Qi is missing, and his [-] soldiers are now stationed at the Fanglin Gate, under the command of his general Yu Wenxin. , do not receive the Prince's edict..."

"This Yu Wenxin is ignorant of current affairs, so he really should be killed!" Li Jiancheng looked sullen, and snorted coldly, "We have enough manpower, and we can accomplish things without him. Afterwards, I will definitely make him die!"

Da Dazhi said, "His Royal Highness, if we act like this, where is the emperor...?"

"Without the acquiescence of the father, how could the transfer of troops and horses be so convenient." Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "The father made it clear that he would not interfere in this matter."

Da Dazhi was silent when he heard the words, the general trend of the Tang Palace has been established, and the situation of fighting for power and profit cannot be avoided.I can't help sighing secretly, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit.The same is true of the tribes on the prairie, and the same is true of the Central Plains.

………………

Dozens of people gathered on the square outside Yeting Palace, including Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Hong Funu, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and other core generals of Tiance Mansion, all of them wearing helmets Guanjia is fully armed, waiting for Li Shimin's transfer order.

The palace gate opened, and Li Shimin, accompanied by Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, strode into the square.Dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, he is full of heroism, and when he stands up, he is as awe-inspiring as a tiger crouching on a dragon's plate and cannot be offended.In the blink of an eye, an outstanding leadership temperament emerged spontaneously, and the majesty of the king shocked the audience.

Li Shimin glanced around, the brilliance in his eyes faded, and he bowed to everyone with his hands clasped.

"The king of Qin can't do that, I can't bear it!" Changsun Wuji exclaimed, he and the other generals hurriedly avoided, and then they all bowed down to return the salute.

Li Shimin looked serious, and sincerely said in a low voice, "You are all brothers who share weal and woe with the people of the world and can be handed over to life and death. Our fate is already connected, and one is prosperous and the other is lost. Now this situation is well known in everyone's mind. "

After a pause, he continued, "Frankly speaking, the fate of the people in the world, my life, Li Shimin's life, and everyone's future are all facing a turning point. I am really uneasy about making this decision..."

Wei Zheng took a step forward and shook his head, and said, "Why should the King of Qin care about it? In the world, the capable and the virtuous live there. Qi Wang Yuanji is domineering and domineering, and secretly colludes with the devil. When he is built as a prince, he relies heavily on the Turks, which is actually collaborating with the enemy." Both of them have lost their fundamentals and are not worthy of inheriting the great rule. His Royal Highness King Qin has no choice but to fight back to protect himself, even if there are accidental casualties, it is the inevitable result of putting things right."

Li Shimin sighed, showing grief, and said earnestly, "The crown prince and King Qi are Shimin's brothers and sisters. If the situation permits, no matter which general, please give them a way to survive..."

All the generals of Tiance Mansion knelt down in unison, touched the ground with their heads, and shouted in unison, "The last general will die for King Qin!"

Fang and Du exchanged glances, Fang Xuanling got up and said, "King Qin is benevolent and does not care about trivial matters, colleagues, get up."

Du Ruhui respectfully said to Li Shimin, "Your Highness, it's getting late..."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said, "Wei Qing, Fang and Du Qing's family will stay at the Yeting Palace to coordinate the deployment of troops. The rest of the generals will go to the State Guest House to meet the young commander!"

The stars in the sky were obscured by the haze, and the moonlight was reddened with a layer of blood.

In the courtyard of the State Guesthouse, Chen Chen was drinking alone, and the distant sound of firecrackers could be heard faintly in his ears, as if to remind people that today is the Lantern Festival.

Xu Ziling came slowly and sat down beside Chen Chen.Softly said, "Is power and wealth so important?"

“…Of course it matters”

Chen Chen looked back at Xu Ziling, it was the first time he looked at a person so seriously.

Calm and indifferent, free and unrestrained, and the temperament of being isolated from the world is outstanding.

Xu Ziling looked directly at Chen Chen with calm eyes, and asked again, "Is it important to you?"

is it important to me?important?unimportant?

Chen Chen stood up and paced back and forth, looking back on his life, and then smiled, saying, "To be honest, I am a small person, so I naturally yearn for power and wealth. But I know myself better, I am an ordinary person with no ambitions. Even if I set foot on the road of martial arts Lu is still a small person in his bones, and his personality will not change easily..."

"Ha~ With your behavior and experience, you are destined to be a hero of the generation!" A loud laugh came, and Kou Zhong had already appeared on the spot.

Chen Chen shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "I just want to do what I want, and I don't ask for merit or demerit. It is destined that there will be no reverence and applause, but booing is possible, but I don't care about it."

"It's just like the grievances and hatreds in this arena. Regardless of whether the person who kills or is killed is a good person or a bad person, the root of it is that no matter right or wrong, he is killing people. High-sounding excuses, or infamy... What do I have to do with it? "
