Helan Minyue didn't resist, and she didn't even wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. The burning pain in her cheeks and the temporary tinnitus made her unable to react at the moment.
After coughing a few times, Helan Minyue propped up her body with her arms, sat on the ground and panted rapidly. After a while, she calmed down and said slowly again: "I can't bear this death-like silence, Li Hong, or you can Kill me, or take me back to Chang'an!"
After finishing speaking, Helan Minyue raised her pretty face and said with a stubborn look.
This stupid woman, until now, still thinks that she dare not kill her! I thought I would take into account my father’s feelings!
"I won't kill you. Whether you die or not has no impact on anything. If you hadn't been with Li Zhong back then, maybe you would have stayed in Chang'an and lived the rest of your life in fine clothing and fine food. But you are still under your mother's care." After the death of He Lanmin, you still have desires and ambitions! Do you think Li Zhong can be restored? Even if I don't become the prince, it will not be his turn. There are Li Xian, Li Zhe, and others in front of him. Even Li Dan! He is just using you, you still don’t know it yet!”
"Li Hong, you don't need to trick me. I know some secrets, but I won't tell you! As you said, Li Zhong is using me, but I am not using him! Of course, Li Zhong still has secrets , I don’t know, I know I’m of no use to you, but when I return to Chang’an, I can at least convince others that you, Li Hong, are not a mass murderer. At least, I can prove to some people that you, Li Hong, and Li Zhong You, Li Hong, won the game!" Helan Minyue's eyes showed ripples of desire, and she wanted to arouse Li Hong's inquiring mind through such specious and ambiguous words.
Li Hong glanced at her lightly, sighed and said: "It's useless, you have no value at all in my eyes, just stay here. Of course, you can also pray that I will not last long as the prince." . Come on, bring it up.”
When Bai Chun heard Li Hong's words, he glanced at Helan Minyue, and then waved behind him. He saw four middle-aged women with big shoulders and round waists walking over with stern faces.
"This slave has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Looking at the four girls, Li Hong was startled, "I'll go!" How did Bai Chun find these four fat women? They were not easy to get along with at first glance, and looking at their hands and feet, they all seemed to be a little outstretched.
"Explain clearly and set off immediately." Li Hong turned around and said to Bai Chun, then walked quickly from the mausoleum of Mrs. Zhonglie of Lu State to the entrance of the cemetery.
Just after taking two steps, Helan Minyue's voice sounded from behind: "Li Hong, Li Hong, you can't abandon me. For the sake of your father, take me back! I'll tell you everything I know. !”
Li Hong ignored Helan Minyue's desperate voice and allowed the heartbreaking voice to continue. In the empty cemetery, under the gaze of the stone men and horses, Helan Minyue crawled on the ground desperately chasing him.
Helan Minyue's hair was disheveled. At the moment, her mind was filled with Li Hong's decision and her current despair. Her hands and feet were restrained by four women, making it impossible for her to pursue Li Hong one step further.
"Li Hong, I beg you, I will die here! Please, I was wrong..." Helan Minyue's clothes were messy and stained with loess, and her white cheeks were stained by tears and loess. , getting dirty.
The heartbreaking pleas did not make Li Hong stop her ruthless pace. She lay on the ground and looked at the footsteps of the group of people. How she wished those people would suddenly stop.
"Take me to catch up with them. As long as you can let me return to Chang'an, I can give you whatever you want. I can beg your Majesty to grant official titles to your family. Really, believe me, I am Helan Minyue!" Helan Minyue! Looking helplessly at the backs of the leaving group, he suddenly began to ask for help from the four women around him.
"Sir, you won't really let her fend for herself here, will you?" Bai Chun's sympathy was overflowing, and her heart-wrenching cries made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable and sad.
"Poor people must be hateful! Stay here for now, whether it's life or death, and let others have a headache when you go back." Li Hong said as he walked.
Baqiao, in the east of Chang'an City, is a place where people greet each other, break willows as gifts, and sigh after farewell.
At that time, Duke Mu of Qin dominated Xirong, changed the name of Zi River to Ba River, and built a bridge called Ba Bridge to this day.
There are many willows on both sides of Baqiao. In early spring, the catkins flutter like wind and snow, so Baqiao snowstorm is even more praised by people today. This scene of smoky greenery and dancing snow has become an elegant place for literati in Chang'an City to often play and compose poems.
Every early spring, this place is a lively scene with crowds of people. There is an endless stream of literati and common people who come to greet and send off, all of them break willows here to give each other, or hold broken willows in their hands, concentrating on the excellent poems of leisurely artistic conception.
But today, Baqiao was solemn. On both sides, there were not only the Jinwu Guards of Chang'an City standing solemnly with their horses in hand, but also many civil servants and generals gathered.
Behind him are the military guards in red uniforms and holding halberds, and the second row of bow and arrow honor guards stand solemnly. The flags are in three rows, and the horizontal swords and flags of various colors are in another row.
The left and right commanders and officials stood on both sides of the carriage, six in front of the carriage and six in the back, each with twelve red banners. The prison gates on the left and right each led two people to inspect the gates and led the riders in front.
The young master, the young master, and the young master Shaobao stood on the road and prepared the books. The civil and military officials of the East Palace stood on both sides.
Zuo Shuzi returned to the front, and the Prince's Royal Highness stood on his side with his carriage, Guchuang, Jinlu, and Siwangche. The Prince's family order, the Prince's Lingeng order, the Prince Zhan Shi, the Taibao, the Taishi, and the Taifu stood at the front.
Behind him are the clear roads of the East Palace, ceremonial swords, ceremonial arrows, horses and flags, grinning in the wind.
The civil servants and generals were solemn. If His Royal Highness Li Hong was a minister based on his achievements in the Western Regions, it would have been the emperor and the empress who came to Baqiao to greet him.
But now it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hong who has made such earth-shattering achievements. Do you want the emperor and the empress to welcome him in person? Then they supported each other to Baqiao. His Royal Highness dismounted and reported? !
The etiquette officer has been having a headache for more than ten days. Regarding His Royal Highness the Prince's return to Chang'an, neither the royal etiquette nor the etiquette of civil servants and generals can be used.
Finally, Xu Jingzong, who was still lying on the hospital bed, said weakly: "I should think that His Royal Highness should be greeted with a guard of honor, mainly officials from the East Palace, and supplemented by courtiers."
When Li Zhi and Wu Mei heard this suggestion, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief!
Let the two of them go greet the little brat? When the time comes to see if he can resist the urge to beat him, I’m not sure, but I’ll lead him to Baqiao!
Does Li Hong dare? I'm afraid we won't be able to walk up to the horse by ourselves. That brat can really turn around and ride away, leaving everyone behind and running away.
"That... who, Bai Chun, you are useless, what should I wear instead? Armor? Prince's uniform? Or court uniform?" Li Hong sat in a simple carriage. It was quite comfortable along the way. Since entering Chang'an, Li Hong I started to feel that this carriage was a bit stuck in my buttocks and I couldn't sit still.
Seeing that the Chang'an city wall came into view, envoys from all walks of life had begun to rush to tell each other. On the road from Baqiao to his army, from time to time, we saw the Qingdao led by brightly dressed and angry horses, and the military guards under the ceremonial guard, riding their horses and whipping their whips. Running on this journey.
"It's not mentioned in the memorial." Bai Chun tilted her round hips. She had almost torn through the memorials along the way, but she couldn't find what clothes the prince should wear.
Li Hong was also a little panicked at this moment. When he saw the round butt raised up, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but now he had no idea. He looked at the people in the car at Xia Zhi, each holding a prince's costume, but he didn't know what to wear. Which one is suitable.
"Why don't you wear armor? The armor you wore when you left." Bai Chun's eyes hurt a little and he was tired from reading the memorial.
"Okay, then wear armor. After all, I came back from the battle."
"Sir, I suddenly feel that since it is the prince's ceremonial guard, should you wear the prince's court uniform?" Bai Chun's beautiful face was full of worry and uncertainty, and she didn't know what to do.
"Can you give me some advice? Which one should I wear?" Li Hong was anxious. He was halfway wearing his armor, but you said he should wear regular clothes!
"Oh, forget it, you can just wear armor. If you get beaten up, this armor can still hold up for a while." Bai Chun said very carelessly and irresponsibly.
"Am I your master? Do you like me being beaten so much? Hurry up and tie up my hair. Banmei, bring the etiquette over here. Let me take a look. I can only improvise. In the past few years, the royal family has been almost destroyed. I have forgotten all the etiquette." Li Hong took the memorial and watched it casually while letting the five women help him tie his armor, and Bai Chun pulled his hair and started to tie it up, preparing to put on the helmet.
"Hua Meng, what the hell are you doing here? Go and get the food stamps. Also, watch out for Bai Qi, don't let him run out suddenly. Then he will be spoiled." Li Hong kicked. Opening the window of the carriage, I'm afraid I'll have to ride in the prince's carriage after a while, so it doesn't matter if the carriages are different.
"Yes, Master." Hua Meng was startled when he saw the window suddenly flying out of the carriage.
Hearing Li Hong's shouting, he hurriedly ran back. He didn't even know where the food stamps were. How could he find them among 10,000 people
Hei Te Changzhi, Xue Rengui, Wang Mingyuan, Belus and others, who had followed Li Hong, were now wearing bright armor, standing behind the prince's honor guard and the officials of the East Palace, quietly waiting for the prince's army to come.
The Crown Prince, Zuo Shuzi, saw Hua Meng running over quickly, and behind him was His Highness the Crown Prince's majestic body, wearing a helmet and armor, and the black armor shone in the sunlight.
"His Royal Highness the Prince personally conquered the Western Regions and returned triumphantly..."
