Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 44: In the chess game, the changes of the black dragon and the movements of the golden phoenix!
Imperial City.

All the reactions from the people were reported back.

Fang Xuanling frowned slightly: "Pharmacist, rumors are spreading among the people now. This is not a good sign."

"When our army goes out to fight, what will we do if civilians follow us and check on us?"

Li Jing exhaled: "The truth will always come out. The people will follow. As long as our army destroys Pei Xingjian's army with the force of thunder, that will be enough."

Fang Xuanling nodded: "Indeed, but...are you sure? Your opponent is Pei Xingjian, who was famous back then and is your second."

"His reputation was already very great back then. In addition, he has been fighting in the West over the years, so he will only be stronger than before. If he insists on hiding, can we really find him?"

Hearing this, Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Xuanling, there is no point in guessing many things. We can only know how capable Pei Xingjian is by fighting him in a battle."

"After that, we can rely on the experience gained from the first battle, adapt to the situation, and find a way to defeat them."

Fang Xuanling sighed: "So... Pharmacist, even if you have some ideas, I'll leave the fighting to you."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'd like to go back."

Fang Xuanling was here this time because Li Jing asked him to discuss the affairs of the court. Only after he was sure that there were no major events in the court or among the people recently could he go to the battlefield with peace of mind.

It is certainly important to eliminate Li Chengdao and his followers.

But the basic foundation cannot be lost.

Only when everything is alright at home can I go to the battle with peace of mind.

After some inquiries, he was sure that everything was fine in the court, so... he could devote all his energy to dealing with Pei Xingjian together with Chai Shao.

"Okay, Xuanling, thank you for your hard work."

Li Jing nodded and agreed to Fang Xuanling's departure.

……

After leaving the imperial city, Fang Xuanling did not return to the Fang Mansion, but went to a residence in the west of the city.

The house is a bit desolate, just a thatched hut.

Last night it rained,

Fang Xuanling could even hear the sound of dripping water inside the thatched hut.

It's a leaky house.

Looking at this house, Fang Xuanling had a complicated expression.

Angry at their lack of resistance, helpless, and unbelievable….
Many emotions flashed through his mind one by one, and finally turned into a long sigh.

He went inside.

"Da da da…."

The footsteps were light, but they sounded particularly harsh in this thatched house.

Because it's too quiet in there.

"Who is it? Who's here?"

"Xiaozhu, are you here?"

From inside, a very clear and pleasant sound came.

Followed by.

Fang Ruyan, dressed in plain clothes, walked out.

Although it was a plain dress, it could not hide Fang Ruyan's stunningly beautiful face.

But when Fang Ruyan saw the person coming, she was stunned.

"Dad... No, Master Du, why are you here? Did Xiaozhu tell you?"

Fang Ruyan couldn't help but ask, and subconsciously dodged Fang Xuanling.

She only told Xiaozhu her address, and Fang Xuanling was able to find it, so there was only one possibility: Xiaozhu told it.

"you…."

Fang Xuanling said this, his eyes full of helplessness.

After a pause, he sighed and said, "I asked Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu said that you were going to leave?"

Fang Ruyan didn't dare to look at Fang Xuanling, and nodded, "Well, I will leave Chang'an City in the afternoon and go to Jiangdong to find His Highness."

Fang Xuanling was silent.

Fang Ruyan didn't say anything either.

There was silence for a long time, as if the two people were separated from their original world and came to a place where time stood still.

For a long time,

Fang Xuanling then said, "Did you know long ago that Li Chengdao is not dead?"

Fang Ruyan was stunned: "Your Highness is not dead?"

Looking at Fang Ruyan's appearance,
Fang Xuanling originally thought that his daughter had known about it for a long time, so she made up her mind to leave. But now it seems that this is not the case.

My daughter has no idea!
Li Chengdao's return and his daughter's departure for Jiangdong were all unexpected. "He's not dead."

"He has also returned to Datang."

After thinking for a long time, Fang Xuanling told the truth.

boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Ruyan's eyes widened instantly.

"What, Your Highness... Your Highness, is he really still alive?"

Fang Ruyan's red lips were trembling.

next moment,
There were tears in her eyes, she was crying with excitement and joy.

Ten years, these full ten years!

Countless nights,
She was praying that Li Chengdao was not dead and that Li Chengdao could come back.

But everyone told her that Li Chengdao was dead and no one could go to the sea and still be alive.

Fang Ruyan didn't believe it at first, but as time passed, her confidence gradually collapsed.

It has been ten years now, and even she has to admit that His Highness is probably really dead. This time she went to Jiangdong to keep vigil for His Highness, to repay the man who saved her life and to give an explanation for their years of affection.

But now?

Now, she heard something!
My father said that His Highness is still alive!

Is this...really?
The more Fang Ruyan thought about it, the more tears welled up in her eyes, but she still couldn't believe it.

If His Majesty were still alive,

Then the ten years of waiting were worth it...worth it!

"He's still alive, and he's back with a million troops."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will declare war on the entire Tang Dynasty. He is the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty. So... do you want to follow him?"

Fang Xuanling stared at Fang Ruyan with burning eyes.

Fang Ruyan said without any hesitation: "Yan'er is your Highness's person in life and your Highness's ghost in death. I am willing to follow your Highness, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

She didn't hesitate at all.

Not even a trace...!
At this moment, Fang Xuanling wanted to see a hint of fear or hesitation in those eyes, so that he could try to persuade his daughter to come back.

But now…it’s impossible.

My daughter is in too deep.

"Why…."

A long sigh expressed Fang Xuanling's helplessness.

"You...be careful on the road."

"The war is coming. As a girl, you need to be more careful."

Fang Xuanling instructed.

Since there is no way to persuade my daughter to turn back, I can only let her leave.

"Ah."

Fang Ruyan nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling said nothing more and left.

But halfway through,

Behind him, a fiery voice came.

"Master Du... No, Dad, thank you for bringing the news about His Highness."

Fang Xuanling paused when he heard this.

Then he walked away without looking back.

After he left,

Fang Ruyan felt lost, her eyes full of nostalgia: "Your Highness, you are really back, do you remember Yan'er?"

"Please wait, Yan'er... I will come to Jiangdong to find you."

If she went to Jiangdong for the purpose of guarding the body before, this time, her purpose was to find Li Chengdao.
.
….…….….….….
Li Jing led an army of 50,000 and set out in the afternoon.

at the same time.

Yuchi Jingde also led 5,000 black-armored cavalry to attack Liangzhou.

The war has begun.

for real….
In the seventh century, the greatest war in the world!

As the trends of the Yan and Tang empires changed, in a dark space in the dark, the two black shadows sitting on both sides of the round table also changed.
