"Is my father okay?" Yeyue took advantage of the dawn and grabbed Li Hong's sleeve and asked.
After traveling all night, Li Hong finally met up with Yeyue Qingqiu and others according to the originally scheduled time and place. Even the place where they camped during the day was determined by the caravan run by Jingwei over the years. As a result, arrangements have been made early.
Li Hong looked at Yeyue, whose beautiful eyes were slightly dimmed and her expression was a little haggard due to a night of worry. He gently stroked her cheek and said, "Don't worry, your father will be fine, but..."
"But what?" Yeyue has been holding on to Li Hong for a night, sat down under an extremely simple tent, and asked hurriedly.
"Saleh's ambition has grown. I'm a little worried that your father will be angered by his ambition. Everything else is fine."
"It's a matter of time." When Ye Yue heard what Li Hong was talking about, she leaned on Li Hong's shoulder dejectedly and murmured: "Brother Wang's ambition has been growing since he first went to Datang. It started to grow slowly, and that’s when I noticed something had changed in him.”
"Datang?" Li Hong turned his face and asked with some surprise.
Yeyue rolled her eyes at Li Hong helplessly, then stretched out her pink fist to hit Li Hong's chest, and then said angrily: "Don't pretend not to understand, I don't believe it, you don't know that my king Why did my brother go to the Tang Dynasty for the second time? Did he need a wealthy prince to go there in person? An example, show him the supreme power that your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, has in the Tang Empire. This will make him even more determined in his ambition!"
"I think even if it weren't for me, Saleh's ambition would have grown, right? You can't blame all this debt on me. Hassan been able to take charge of the Khawalij family, didn't you let your brother see it? Eyes red?" Li Hong moved his shoulders and asked, looking at Ye Yue's fair cheeks.
Yeyue didn't know when the gauze had been taken off, and the two of them cuddled together. One was worried about whether there would be less Dashi's pursuers behind him on the way to the Tang Dynasty, and whether there would be danger ahead. Without the obstruction of the big food nobles.
The other one has been worried about the turbulent situation in Dashi. She wonders whether her father and her brother Wang will suddenly have internal strife between them when the royal family of Dashi is at its most turbulent, and then give up. Hassan could take advantage.
But things in the world are like this. If you don’t want something to happen, congratulations, the thing you hope for will never happen. What happens is always something you don’t want, and the situation is worse than you imagined. Worse.
Aviye woke up from the bed in a daze. As soon as he regained consciousness, Saleh's words immediately sounded in his mind: "I just like the way you can't stand me and can't kill me."
"Li Hong, what kind of person are you? You want to use such despicable and childish methods on Saleh and me." Aviye lay on the bed with a headache and committed suicide. Talk to yourself.
He knew very well that at this time, chaos was spreading among the nobles, and open and covert fighting had begun, so the royal family could not follow the nobles into chaos.
Saleh looked at Hassan and Li Hong, especially Li Hong. Although he was still the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the power in his hands, even without Saleh telling Yeyue, was that Li Hong was in Dashi. A few actions were enough to reveal that his rights as a prince of the Tang Dynasty completely exceeded the rights that a prince should have.
In addition, Yeyue and Saleh said that in the Tang Dynasty, Li Hong's power was almost equal to that of his father, and his father even willingly handed over all the rights of the empire to him.
Why didn't the emperor of the Tang Dynasty attach great importance to power? Could it be that it was really because of his poor health that he became tired of the court? Could it be that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty really couldn't let the emperor of the Tang Dynasty feel reluctant to part with the right to control life and death in the world
"Hassan had retreated from the capital last night and headed for Basra." Saleh appeared next to Aviyeh again and said respectfully.
"What do you mean?" Aviye asked, still a little weak.
"Father... the child hopes to have full authority to handle the struggle between our royal family and Hassan..."
"Do you think you are a match for Hassan?"
"But... although the child was defeated by Hassan last night, it was not because the child was incompetent, but because the child had a father... who restricted the child, preventing him from letting go and fighting Hassan on the fly, so he repeatedly lost his first priority. Machine." Saleh hesitated, but finally said what was in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when Saleh finished speaking, Aviyeh did not hit him or curse him, but became uncharacteristically silent.
Just when Saleh was about to bend his waist, he heard Aviyeh say: "Now a war has broken out in our country. This moment is by no means a time for impatience. If we, father and son, cannot unite as one, If we deal with other nobles, in the end...our royal family will be replaced by other nobles. Do you understand?"
"Father..." Saleh raised his head, glanced at Aviye who was deep in thought, and said after careful consideration: "My child understands, but... My child still hopes to be able to duel with Hassan with full authority. In this way, one day my child... If I inherit my father's position, I will have enough prestige and qualifications to make the nobles who oppose us look at me differently and respect my child, instead of thinking that my child can only sit on the throne because of your father's protection."
Listening to Saleh's words, Aviya's eyelids jumped violently, and his temples on both sides bulged, but he finally calmed down: "It doesn't matter whether you have decided or not. , but under the current situation... My father now only has you as the heir, and my father will never allow you to make any mistakes, because when the time comes... I will naturally take advantage of those nobles and give my father some world. We, father and son, will judge me together. How about we discuss this matter after the civil strife?"
Saleh looked at Aviye's sincere eyes and knew in his heart that this was his father's biggest concession, but the desire for power in his heart made him unable to suppress it.
Especially when looking at the ruins that were being cleared, it appeared in front of him that Li Hong had great power in the Tang Dynasty, and he wanted to force his father to abdicate immediately. Concentrate the royal power of Dashi in your own hands, and stand on the top of Dashi's power like Li Hong did.
Therefore, in the face of Aviya's retreat, Saleh just shook his head silently and showed with actions that he was not satisfied with Aviya's answer.
Looking at Saleh's leaving figure, Aviye's heart was just like the Tang language that Saleh translated last night, and he wanted to cut Li Hong into pieces immediately.
One order after another, Li Hong flew back to the capital of Dashi as if with wings on his route back to the Tang Dynasty. None of the places marked with skulls were left behind. They were all left behind after Li Hong passed by. , there was a loud noise that shook the mountains, and then a raging fire broke out, regardless of whether there were obstacles in front of it or pursuers behind it!
Just like the Bigfoot fireworks that bloomed at the Olympic Games, they bloomed one after another on the route to Datang, just like seeing off Li Hong and his party.
After Hassan left the capital, he tried non-stop to take a shortcut to intercept Li Hong. The overt and covert fighting in Dashi was easy to talk about behind closed doors, but if an outsider, after disturbing a puddle of muddy water, brought the nobles of Dashi to him, With endless wealth and beautiful women, he returned to the Tang Dynasty smoothly.
Once everyone knows that, not only the royal family represented by Aviyeh will be disgraced, but the Hassan Khawalij family will also be disgraced. What's more, if they win the battle against Aviyeh , then it must be imperative to crusade against the shame that Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty brought to Dashi.
So no matter what, in order to win the support of other nobles, he still temporarily collects some interest from Li Hong. Like Aviye, he can prevent Li Hong from returning to the Tang Dynasty while fighting among himself.
It's just that the elite soldiers and generals sent by the two men along the way, especially the other nobles and wealthy families attached to the wings of the two nobles, suffered heavy losses in trying to stop Li Hong along the way.
In addition, there were people who were obstructing the process and helping the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty to return eastward to the Tang Dynasty. This made them encounter great difficulties in pursuing Li Hong.
The Cordo family, as the family with the least contact with Li Hong in the Great Food City, acted like the prince guarding the Tang Dynasty along the way. Once they found that there were pursuers, they would go up and fight without knowing the reason.
Sometimes he was even able to annihilate all the other nobles who came to intercept the Tang Crown Prince amidst the thunderous cheers of the Tang Dynasty.
Hassan's brother Husse died in the battle, and his head was cut off by Li Hong himself. Together with the flag of the Khawalij family, Li Hong hung it on the top and inserted it in the middle of the road.
When Hassan was finally about to pursue Li Hong, only half a day away, he finally stopped his pursuit under that flag and the head of his brother Husse.
Even Aviye's pursuers from another road encountered obstacles at this time. Several Tang people around the Cordo family joined forces with them to surround Aviye's troops with sky thunder, and once again carried out a battle of annihilation. .
After nearly two months of pursuit, Hassan and Aviye finally had to stop the pursuit when they were approaching Jiling City, because they didn't know when the Cordo family had secretly occupied the city. They conquered this area and completely drove the Khawalij family, which was the most powerful here, out of this area.
That is to say, from then on, the Kordo family, another noble family of Dashi, has become the real leader of the Jiling City area and even the land like Tochara in less than two months. dominate.
