Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3655
Chang'an City, Yanshoufang.

Zhangsun Wuji leaned on crutches and dragged his injured leg. He stood on the side of the street and looked at a headless body on the ground. He was shaking slightly, his eyelids kept beating, his cheek muscles were squirming, and his eyes were red and swollen with bloodshot eyes. , apparently trying to suppress grief.

Yesterday, there was news that Changsun Anye was intercepted and killed by Fang Jun in Yanling Pass when he was returning from Luoyang. Even when Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood, he ordered the body of Changsun Anye to be returned quickly. The elite cavalry of the clan was dispatched to search for Fang Jun's trace along the ancient Shang-Yu Road. Once found, they would be killed without mercy!

Today, the body of Changsun Anye was sent back...

When Changsun Jiaqing died, Changsun Wuji was more angry than sad, but now looking at Changsun Anye's headless body, he is more sad than angry.

Although he was not born to the same mother, he was rejected and abused by his stepmother and several older brothers after his father died. It was wonderful, it was the eldest grandson Anye who came secretly from time to time, and gave him some money, so that he could have more money in his hands, and he would not feel resentment against the eldest grandson's family.

For so many years, he has always cared about this young brother. Even if the eldest grandson Anye made a big mistake and was exiled to Lingnan by His Majesty Li Er, the eldest grandson Wuji paid a lot of benefits to ask Feng Ang, the general manager of Gaozhou, to take good care of the eldest grandson Anye. .

In this incident, he originally wanted to recall the eldest grandson Anye and make some contributions, and then when the new emperor ascended the throne, he could clear his guilt and enter the center.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother was buried in the "Nanwei Road", and his head was in a different place...

Yuwenjie saw that he was too sad and was afraid that he would dismiss the idea of ​​peace talks in a fit of anger, so he took two steps forward and whispered to persuade him: "People cannot be resurrected from the dead, I hope Zhao Guogong will mourn and take care of your health. Sending elite cavalry to kill Fang Jun, there must be good news soon, and now the situation is unpredictable, and we need to focus on the overall situation."

Thinking that last night, Changsun Wuji sent the remaining elite cavalry of the Changsun family to Shangyu Gudao, and issued an order to kill him, he was worried for a while.

Although they are now their own masters, and the friendship of the year has long been indifferent, he and Fang Jun have become more and more divided over the years, but he is a person who is nostalgic. Thinking about the love and friendship at the beginning, Fang Jun will soon be He died tragically under the knife, and his past merits were all in vain. I couldn't help but feel sad...

Changsun Wuji is very human after all, and those who try to restrain themselves feel sad in their hearts, and slowly said: "For the time being, put the body in the righteous village outside the city, prepare a coffin, and wait until the enemy has given the head and retrieved the head, and then buried it."

He must never let the broken body of his younger brother be buried, let alone let his enemies live freely. Otherwise, if his younger younger brother entrusts him with a dream in the Jiuyou Underworld and asks him why he ignores the brotherhood, he will be speechless...

"Here!"

The self-owned people took the servants to take the corpse of the eldest Sun Anye and put it in a coffin. Eight big men carried the coffin and walked out of the city.

Zhangsun Wuji stood and watched for a while, until the team was far away, and his eyes were blocked by the square wall, then he sighed, turned and walked back into the hall tremblingly.

Standing behind him, Yuwenjie suddenly found that this world-renowned man who used to disdain the court and now stirs the Guanzhong situation in the hands of the imperial society, is already so old.His aging body was trembling and he couldn't even walk steadily, his pale hair was messed up by the cold wind, his hunched waist was no longer as tall and straight as a gun, and his vicious aura was like a candle in the wind. ...

He looked up at the clear sky. Winter was coming to an end and spring was coming.

Perhaps times have changed.

……

In the side hall, Changsun Wuji endured the pain of his injured leg. He sat on the desk with difficulty, put his crutches aside, took a teacup and drank a sip of hot tea. People seem to be alive.

Seeing Yuwenjie approaching with a worried face, he waved his hand, let out a long sigh of coldness, and said slowly: "Don't worry, this old man has a great life, what kind of things have not happened, what kind of pain has not been experienced? Bereavement is painful, but it will not be engulfed by anger and make a foolish act. Peace talks are necessary, and the interests of Guanlong should be echoed. It should continue to be carried out. ."

After a pause, he gritted his back molars and said, "But this old man will not let it go! My brother just arrived at Yanling Pass and stayed overnight in the pass, but in the middle of the night, he was attacked and killed by Fang Jun. Strange! Even if Fang Jun happened to be going to Luoyang, the two of them went back and forth without encountering each other. How could Fang Jun come so quickly and attack and kill so accurately? Cheng Yaojin escorted my brother to the 'Nanwei Road' in name, It's not necessarily that he didn't have contact with Fang Jun secretly, and he couldn't get rid of my brother's death."

Although Changsun Anye was in a different place, many of his accompanying family soldiers fled back. He explained the situation in detail at the time. When he heard that Li Ji did not respond to Guanlong's wooing, he ordered Cheng Yaojin to escort Changsun. Anye went to "Nanwei Road", Fang Jun suddenly appeared under Yanling Pass that night, blew up the pass, and assassinated Changsun Anye. Changsun Wuji guessed that it must be more than a coincidence.

Yuwenjie frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Duke Zhao, that Cheng Yaojin wanted to help Fang Jun to persuade the British to vote for the East Palace, so he leaked the whereabouts of General Changsun, and Fang Jun attacked him in the middle of the night, so as to make you angry at British Lord, destroying the alliance between Guan Long and British Lord?"

If you think about it, it is indeed possible...

It is impossible for Li Ji to rebel. The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time. The Li Tang imperial family has a high reputation in the court and the opposition, and is supported by the whole country.Even the Guanlong clan who created the Wei, Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties did not dare to rebel, and had to support the King of Qi as a puppet. How could Li Ji risk the world?

Since they did not dare to rebel, Donggong and Guanlong could only choose one of them in the end.

Either Donggong or Guanlong, there is no other way.

As long as Changsun Wuji is angry with Li Ji because of the death of Changsun Anye and completely cuts off the possibility of forming an alliance between the two sides, then no matter whether Li Ji is satisfied with Donggong or not, he can only choose Donggong to assist him in the end, and he will completely become water and fire with Guanlong...

Before Zhangsun Wuji could speak, Yuwenjie said again: "So, the death of General Zhangsun has nothing to do with Li Ji, but Lu Guogong and Fang Jun colluded in private?"

Changsun Wuji put down the teacup, shook his head, his face gloomy: "What is the truth, I don't know yet, so naturally I can't simply confirm it. Even if it is true, they underestimate my grandson Wuji's mind and bearing, as long as it is good for Guan Long, kill my brother. What about the feud? No matter whether the British public is involved in this case or not, I will let it go and only punish Fang Jun! As for Cheng Yaojin... I will talk about it later."

*****
Inside the heavy door.

Today is a rare sunny day, but the north wind does not stop. Between the two tall gates of Xuanwumen and Neizhongmen, it is still dark and cold.

When Li Junxian galloped all the way to the Prince's residence, Li Chengqian was negotiating peace talks with Xiao Yu and Ma Zhou. Seeing Li Junxian rushing in, he was shocked and asked, "But what happened?"

Li Junxian stepped forward to give a salute, and then succinctly said: "The Duke of Yue went to Luoyang, and halfway he learned that Zhangsun Anye had been ordered by Zhangsun Wuji to go to the British Office to try to persuade the British Duke to form an alliance with Guanlong, so the Duke of Yue sent his Attack and kill, intending to destroy the potential possibility of their alliance!"

The hall was silent.

After a long while, Li Chengqian closed his grown mouth and said in amazement, "Erlang... Killed the eldest grandson Anye?"

Li Junxian nodded: "Xiao's head, defeated his army, now the body of Changsun Anye has been transported to Chang'an City, but the whereabouts of the head are unknown. Yu Gudao, intends to intercept Yue Guogong and avenge his younger brother!"

"what?!"

Li Chengqian was shocked, got up after the book case and walked out with a worried look on his face: "How many people did Changsun Wuji send? Is Erlang in danger?"

Xiao Yu and Ma Zhou couldn't sit still and looked over together.

Although the former was quite arrogant with Fang Jun, the small-scale battle at that time was not worth mentioning compared to the overall situation. Right now Fang Jun was the mainstay of the Eastern Palace, leading the Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, and the Tubo Huqi to guard Xuanwu. The door was impregnable, and it was impossible to open it. Li Jing and Li Jing, both inside and outside, jointly helped protect the East Palace.

If Fang Jun died, not to mention the morale of the Youtun guards plummeted and the morale of the army collapsed, the more than [-] Tubo cavalry would have to leave immediately, and the armed forces of the entire East Palace would suffer a tragic loss, and they would be completely helpless...
