What makes Li Hong feel even more uncomfortable is that if his mother is behind the scenes, what should he do
But will the Queen Mother join forces with Prince Liang? There is no evidence to support this assumption!
When the Queen Mother defeated Queen Wang, Li Zhong was Queen Wang's nominal prince, but he was still the Crown Prince. Will they put aside their differences and join forces? What is the purpose of joining forces
But if the manipulator behind the scenes was not the Queen Mother, why was there no movement from King Liang and no movement from Taiyi City? There was no movement in the entire Chang'an. Who was secretly working against him and disrupting the situation
Helplessly shaking his head again, Li Hong continued to ask: "Does Wang Fangyi have any 'Jingwei' around him?"
"It was arranged. It was arranged after you came to the Western Regions. No evidence has been caught in the past few years. Wang Jing and Wang Kang were assassinated to death by the 'Jingwei'. It didn't seem to have any impact on him, and King Jinyang He didn't put any pressure on him, so I think he should be fine." Bai Chun's beautiful eyes seemed to be able to attract Li Hong's whole body.
Li Hong looked at Bai Chun, couldn't help but put his arms around her shoulders, and pressed his lips against Bai Chun's seductive red lips.
After a long time, Li Hong reluctantly separated from Bai Chun's lips, and saw that Bai Chun's beautiful face was full of blush, shy and annoying, and he turned his head from time to time to see if anyone was looking at them.
"You... aren't you going to go back?" His chest was rising and falling violently, and his mind was still immersed in the process of being kissed just now, so he was a little shy and couldn't find anything to say.
"Go back, of course go back. Since nothing has been found, let's use the soldiers to block it and the water to cover it up with the soil to see who is more skilled." After someone took advantage, he looked satisfied and stretched out his rough hand to touch With pure and beautiful cheeks.
"What a big pervert, even sexier than you, aren't you Bai Qi?" Yeyue looked at the scene from a distance and pouted.
Xia Zhi and others did not dare to embarrass this woman too much. Although they did not know who she was, looking at her appearance with the crown prince and her expression when she called him, it seemed that she was different from the crown prince.
In the next half day, Ye Yue became completely invisible and could no longer get close to Li Hong as before.
At Li Hong's suggestion, the grand bonfire party began after night fell in the valley. Except for the soldiers on guard, everyone else began to gather around the dozens of large fires. Each fire was fat. Countless cattle and sheep were grilled on small fires.
Bai Chun didn't bring a lot of wine, but it was enough for these soldiers to drink.
Xue Rengui, Hei Te Changzhi, and Wang Mingyuan also had long-lost smiles on their faces. They had not understood His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intentions these days. Now that they know they will break camp early tomorrow morning, they are relieved.
After all, this is not a safe and secure area. The longer His Royal Highness stays here, the more danger there will be, and their vigilance cannot be relaxed for a moment.
Yeyue finally sat next to Li Hong again. The woman on the other side, whose figure she was very jealous of, smiled at her and greeted her in a friendly manner. Her indifferent temperament was like that of a fairy, which she could never learn from. .
But it also made her feel the friendliness in the smile, so she smiled like a flower and said hello to Bai Chun.
The flames shot up into the sky, and all the huge fires were lit. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the fires were like stars in the night sky, scattered on the half-slope of the dark grassland.
Whether it was Bai Chun, the beautiful women who had prevented her from approaching Li Hong, or the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty, the nine of them seemed to only have eyes for that hateful guy.
Every move, word and deed revolves around that guy, and several people cooperate with each other to serve that guy like a king.
But think about it, His Highness the Crown Prince will be the emperor of their Tang Dynasty in the future.
Li Hong picked up the wine bowl and drank several large bowls with Xue Rengui and others. The somewhat intoxicated Li Hong, with the support of Bai Chun beside him, just sat down when he saw the alert scouts wandering away from the fire.
"Xu Yanbo?" Li Hong frowned. After this guy followed him, he ignored him. If he hadn't seen that familiar figure just now, he might not even remember it when he returned to Chang'an.
"Go and call him over." Li Hong said to Hua Meng next to him.
Bai Chun was also forced by Li Hong to drink a little wine. At this moment, her face was flushed under the light of the fire. She lost some of the indifferent and otherworldly taste, but gained a hint of charm that had disappeared from her body for many years.
Li Hong stood up with his arms around Bai Chun's shoulders, indicating that they should ignore him, and then walked towards Xu Yanbo who was running over quickly.
"The last general, Xu Yanbo, has met the Great Protector." Xu Yanbo is dressed in armor and stands tall and strong. After several years of hard work, he has changed his temperament from the somewhat frail scholar and turned into a true battle-hardened general.
Looking at Xu Yanboy's handsome figure, Li Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't tell that you, who looked like a scholar back then, are now Captain Guo Yi, who is on the sixth rank. Who are you following now?"
"Back to the Great Protectorate, from the time we went to Jiling City, we will eventually be placed under the command of General Hei Te Changzhi." Xu Yanbo replied loudly and sternly.
"Yes, I will go back to Shule tomorrow, and I will go back to Chang'an soon. What are your plans?" Li Hong took a roast leg of lamb from Xia Zhi and handed it to Xu Yanbo.
"General Protector, the general is on a security mission. You cannot violate military orders and eat during the security process." A look of danger flashed across Xu Yanbo's face, and he hesitated before speaking in accordance with military law.
Li Hong looked at Xu Yanbo and felt a little sorry for Xu Jingzong, but then he thought about it, wasn't this Xu Jingzong's intention
Touch the royal family in this way, so that his descendants can stay with the royal family from generation to generation, serve the royal family, and honor their family's ancestors, just like himself.
"Then what are your plans for the future?" Li Hong asked again.
Xu Yanbo looked at Li Hong with bright eyes. Li Hong had never paid attention to him in the past few years. His current achievements were entirely achieved by his bravery in fighting the enemy and meritorious service.
He didn't know if His Highness the Crown Prince did this on purpose or if he had really forgotten about him, but no matter what, he now completely fell in love with this rough military career.
"The Protector General, I would like to... want to stay under the command of Hei Chichang and continue to guard the border for the Tang Dynasty." Xu Yanbo thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.
Li Hong took the mutton leg and started to chew it by himself, and said with a mouth full of oil: "It's a good idea, but I'm afraid Xu Jingzong won't agree to it. So, let Hei Te Changzhi give you his position and come back with me." Chang'an, let's discuss it later. After all, Xu Jingzong is old now. I should give him an explanation when I bring you out. "
"Yes, I will obey your order." Xu Yanbo was a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, he hadn't been home for four years, so it was time for him to go back.
The bonfire gradually extinguished. Bai Chun followed Li Hong and slowly walked towards the largest tent. Yeyue followed behind, Lao Gao with a small pout.
I just asked Li Hong if he could send troops to send him back.
Li Hong looked at himself as if he were a monster, and after a while he said: "Have you ever seen any country that personally sent prisoners back? Also, write a letter to your father and prepare ten thousand taels of gold to redeem the prisoners."
Hearing this, Ye Yue's willow eyebrows stood up in anger. I am not a commodity, but a living person. Even if I am captured, I should not be exchanged for money!
Feeling that her dignity had been insulted, she rushed forward to fight with Li Hong with all her teeth and claws, but when she saw Li Hong's hand holding Bai Chun's shoulders and naturally hanging on Bai Chun's chest, she hesitated again.
If this guy behaves like last time in front of so many people, he will really lose his temper, and... Thinking of this, Ye Yue can only glare at Li Hong hatefully, and turn around. Walking towards the tent prepared for her.
The four girls of Xia Zhi followed Li Hong into the tent. While undressing Li Hong, they listened to Li Hong say: "Go back and watch the girl. Don't let her run away. If she does escape, she will be caught by Tocharo." But life is worse than death.”
Banmei and Xunlan responded respectfully and left in a hurry, leaving the affairs here to Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue. Bai Chun did not leave without Li Hong's order.
When Xia Zhi and Xiao Xue had prepared all the expenses, Li Hong said calmly: "You two can go down as well. It's enough to let Bai Chun wait on you."
"Yes, Crown Prince." The two women had ulterior motives. After hearing Li Hong's words, there was unconcealable joy in their voices, and they secretly made faces at Bai Chun.
The grimaces of the two women made Bai Chun, who was pretending to be calm, blush even more. After drinking a little wine, he started to feel a little hot, and even his whole body became a little hot.
After watching the two women leave, Bai Chun still managed to calmly walk behind Li Hong, stretched out her jade hands tremblingly and began to help Li Hong undress. She was a little hopeful, but also a little scared.
She knew what Li Hong meant by staying, and she was looking forward to this moment from the bottom of her heart, but now faced with such a scene, her heart jumped like a deer, and she was still a little scared unconsciously.
As pieces of clothing were removed from Li Hong's body, Bai Chun's slender fingers, as white as jade, tremblingly touched Li Hong's broad and solid back.
The scar on his shoulder when he was assassinated in Taiyi City is now just one of the scars on his body.
The scars, large and small, are as dazzling as the battle exploits. The cruel battlefield, the shocking shouts of death, the blood-stained swords, and the heroic figures of the warriors. Each scar seemed to suddenly turn into a battlefield full of killing in her eyes, as if telling her the cruelty and ruthlessness of those wars.
