Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Teeth, chattering like crazy.

The corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

His face was extremely livid.

He had already heard the news outside, and Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu had also confirmed the news.

Finished!

Finished!

Finished!

When he heard the news, he was completely stunned, as if he had been slapped dozens of times.

His brain was beaten into pieces like tofu brain.

His eyes were as big as Tongling, and his pupils were filled with bloodshot veins.

The Turks were defeated.

but!
This is no longer the most important thing. The most important thing is that Jie Li Khan and his men were captured alive!!

This was a huge blow and the worst news for the Prince of Wei's Palace!

If…If…

The collusion between the Prince of Wei's Palace and the aristocracy and the Turks was exposed. As the Prince of Wei, I should be thankful to God that I could keep my life, let alone the throne.

Li Tai really did not expect such news.

He did this before because he was really sure that the Turks would never lose.

To put it another way, even if we lose, we won't be captured alive.

This is good, Jie Li Khan and his men were captured directly!
Li Tai panicked.

He was really completely panicked.

This time, it’s over!
My whole body is cold.

It's like being put into a well in winter.

"Wei...Wei Ting, speak...speak...speak!"

"We...what should we do?"

"It's over, it's over, it's all over! If we wait until Jie Li Khan and his men reach Chang'an, we will really... die without a burial place!!"

"It's no big deal if the common people skin us alive. But if Li Ji and the other border troops in Yunzhou City knew that we were colluding with the Turks, then... then... I'm afraid we would be thrown into the oil pan and fried!"

Li Tai looked at the two of them tremblingly.

There was a cry in his voice.

He is afraid!

At this moment he was really scared.

Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu stood in front of Li Tai.

Both of them seemed to have aged by dozens of years.

All of a sudden, it seemed as if all the energy in my body was drained away.

To be honest, they had never expected this news.

“Hehe…”

Wei Ting opened his mouth, but a sound came out of his throat and he couldn't speak.

After taking several deep breaths, I finally calmed down.

"Damn it, you piece of shit! Don't let me know who he is, or I'll suck his blood dry!"

Wei Ting's expression is really cannibalistic.

Of course, he also knew about the battle report.

The Turks were defeated because of that mysterious army of 20,000 people.

Otherwise, they would have happily welcomed the Turks into Chang'an!

Ugh!

He hates it! !
He hates it! !
"Wei Ting, what should we do now? Chai Lingwu, give us some ideas, you two should think of a solution!"

"Once Jie Li Khan and his men are brought to Chang'an, everything will be over. Everything will be over!!"

Li Tai's voice was filled with tears.

To be honest, he is really scared now.

Imagine that scene, in front of all the officials and countless people, Jie Li Khan said that he and others colluded with the Turks. That...
can not imagine.

I can’t imagine it!
Wei Ting took a deep breath.

He also knew that what Li Tai said was the most important thing.

Even though he almost hated that prince to death in his heart, there was nothing he could do but stay where he is now.

When we know who that prince is, it won’t be too late to kill him!

"Hiss... Don't worry, Your Highness."

Wei Ting's eyes were gloomy, and he continued, "Don't panic, don't rush, I will go to the clan and discuss it with them right away."

"Don't worry, don't worry. This matter is of great importance. Besides, my Wei Wangfu has not had direct dialogue with the Turks. It is the nobles who have been in contact with the Turks."

"As long as our Prince Wei's Mansion can completely abandon this matter, then everything will be fine."

After Wei Ting finished speaking, his eyes flashed with cunning light.

"But... huh..."

Wei Ting raised his head and looked at Li Tai. He pursed his lips, showing a trace of determination, and said: "But Your Highness, if we want to completely abandon the Wei Palace, it is impossible without paying a price."

"Your Highness, we must find a scapegoat to take our place in the disaster of Prince Wei's Palace. Please agree to this!"

Wei Ting stared at Li Tai.

This is sacrificing the car to save the driver.

It is almost impossible to want to give up everything and at the same time suppress this matter.

There is no such good thing in the world.

“Gudong…”

Li Tai swallowed hard.

He looked at Wei Ting, then at Chai Lingwu, and said in a panic, "Wei Ting, I agree, but I don't know who will take the blame."

Wei Ting's eyes suddenly became serious.

He narrowed his eyes, filling them with haze.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He uttered four words, one word at a time.

"Hou...Jun...Ji!"

Immediately.

Li Tai was shocked.

Hou Junji was originally loyal to Crown Prince Li Chengqian, but recently Li Chengqian seemed to be not interested in the throne and was only thinking about dealing with Li Kuan, so Hou Junji joined his camp.

Hou Junji’s idea was very simple, he wanted to be an important official in the founding of the country.

And he, Li Tai, was happy to give such a status, he only needed the throne.

The two sides hit it off.

This time, Hou Junji secretly told the Wei Palace about the border defense map of the northern border and a series of military movements.

Now, we have to abandon him...
Li Tai couldn't accept it.

However, he was also very clear that the Prince of Wei's Palace would definitely have to pay a price for this defeat of the Turks, otherwise, there would be no hope of a peaceful past.

Compared to being beheaded by his father, it is a good deal to let Hou Junji replace him.

Even though Hou Junji is extremely important in the Prince of Wei's Palace.

Yes… … .
There is no way!

Li Tai opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Okay."

After saying this, Wei Ting bowed and hurriedly retreated.

Chai Lingwu also said goodbye.

They want to go to the nobles and negotiate with them.

This time, the Prince of Wei's Palace and the aristocratic families were tied together, and the Prince of Wei's Palace directly abandoned Hou Junji. This big move can be said to have cut off an arm of the Prince of Wei's Palace.

Then, it is the turn of the nobles to give up something.

The nobles knew this truth. After the Turks were defeated, they wanted to minimize all losses, so they had to find a scapegoat.

A scapegoat that can be accepted by Li Shimin and the people of the world.

If we don't push it out, we will all die together.

But such a result was beyond doubt, and the nobles would not choose it. Li Tai looked at the backs of the two of them, his limbs trembling, and he sat down on the ground.

Eyes stiff.

His expression was gloomy.

"Hou Junji, I'm sorry."

"However, you are a person who changes with the wind. In addition, you were the one who told me the news about the Prince of Wei's Mansion. I, Li Tai, did not force you."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family after you die, don't worry, don't worry..."

Li Tai muttered.

….……….…….
The main residence of the Longxi Li family.

A silence.

Silence fell.

Like a cemetery.

Like an old grave.

It was eerily quiet.

The breath seemed to be gone.

When Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu came in, the heads of the Longxi Li family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Xingyang Zheng family were already sitting there.

After Wei Ting came in, he glanced at their faces one by one and silently sat down in the two empty seats next to him.

They seemed to be waiting for the two of them.

The head of the Longxi Li family had cloudy eyes and looked as old as rotten wood. When Wei Ting and the other man sat down, his eyes, which had been motionless, finally raised up, and it could be seen that this person was still alive and not dead.

"I think everyone has heard about what happened in the city."

"Don't have any more illusions about the Turks. They are a bunch of idiots. There are 400,000 of them, but they were crushed by 20,000 people. In the end, they were even captured alive."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!!"

The throat of the head of the Longxi Li family was torn, and the sound was extremely sharp, as if something was pressing against his throat.

No one spoke in the lobby.

There is no need to talk about this matter.

They already knew it, otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here now.

To be honest, when they heard it, they thought their ears were broken.

But later, when the nobles confirmed it, they were completely stunned.

Four hundred thousand people!
This is an army of 400,000! !
Damn it, they were actually crushed by the killing of 20,000 people. In the end, Jie Li Khan and his people didn’t even have a chance to escape, they were captured alive so easily.

this…….
Who would have thought?

It was like a basin of cold water being poured directly over their heads!

numb!

Completely numb!!

The heads of the Qinghe Cui family and others all sighed.

To be honest, they haven't reacted yet.

How many days has it been?
Everything was fine originally.

But look at it now, damn, it makes people feel a little desperate.

An army of 400,000 collapsed so easily. He is indeed a brainless guy.

There were only 20,000 people. Even if they were powerful, how powerful could they be? It was just a round of archery.
Damn!

You deserve to be defeated!

It’s really no brainer at all!

Absolutely amazing! !
If they had known that the Turks were so rubbish, they would never have cooperated with them even if they were beaten to death, and would have just done business normally.

As for the in-depth ones? Just kidding!
But now, it's too late.

Things have happened.

"Master Li, stop talking about this and tell us what we are going to do."

"Huh... If we don't have a solution, and Jie Li Khan is escorted to Chang'an, maybe... we will all die."

The head of the Qinghe Cui family said in a deep voice.

When these words were spoken, everyone's bodies were shocked.

At the same time, everyone's eyes fell on the head of the Longxi Li family.

Now, this is the most important matter.

After all, even if they cursed the Turks again, they could not save the Turks from collapse.

It’s better to protect yourself first.

The head of the Longxi Li family took a deep breath.

He nodded.

His eyes moved, scanning the audience, and he said, "Those who should come are all here, and those who shouldn't come are not here either."

"Time is running out. In that case, I won't keep you in suspense."

"It's impossible to cover this up without leaving any trace! Li Shimin and Yunzhou City have already noticed some details of this war."

"The Tang Dynasty's defense line in the northern border, and the series of sniper attacks and assassinations afterwards, these are not something I can cover up with coincidences."

"They will definitely track us down! The only way for us to keep everything we have is to push out a scapegoat!"

"Otherwise, the clan will be completely destroyed in our hands!!"

"A small discrepancy can ruin a big plan. You should understand this truth."

The voice of the head of the Longxi Li family was extremely low.

While speaking, he cursed the Turks several times in his heart.

Shabi!

What the hell!

An army of 400,000 could be defeated so completely. Even if it was commanded by three dogs, it would not collapse so quickly!

hiss…….
The head of the Longxi Li family took a deep breath and forced himself not to think about it.

But he was really angry.

“Then…” The eyes of the head of Qinghe Cui family flickered.

"Master Li, you are right. You tell us what we should do. We will listen to you."

The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang echoed.

They all knew that the fact that they could sit here now meant that there was no conflict between themselves and the noble families behind them.

That being the case, they won't say anything else.

As long as they don't die and this matter can be resolved safely, they should really thank God.

"Okay! If that's the case, let's be frank. Our clan is connected to the Turks. This is ironclad. Jie Li Khan and the others also know about it."

"We can't hide it even if we want to. I've been thinking about it these days, and finally, I can only push the Zhaojun Li family out. What do you think?"

As the head of the Longxi Li family finished speaking, his eyes were like sharp swords, sweeping across everyone's faces one by one.

"Of course, when this decision was made, I felt extremely painful. As our good friend, the Zhaojun Li family had to share the pressure for us at this time."

"This old man... is really very sad, but there is nothing I can do."

"However, we must do our best to protect the descendants of the Zhaojun Li family and leave seeds for the Zhaojun Li family! They sacrificed themselves for the aristocratic family, and we must do all this well!"

"If anyone doesn't protect me with all my strength, don't blame me for turning my back on them!!"

The head of the Longxi Li family continued.

Everyone nodded and made assurances.

However, they knew in their hearts that these words sounded nice, but why leave seeds behind?
how is this possible! !
Now that such a decision has been made, the next step is to root out the problem completely and not give the Zhaojun Li family any chance at all.

Of course, the head of the Longxi Li family must say such polite words, and they must also guarantee it.

The lobby gradually quieted down.

The head of the Longxi Li family looked at Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu.

"The Prince of Wei's Palace is also involved in this matter."

"General Chai, you should all be ready, right?"

The head of the Longxi Li family spoke again.

He wanted to kick the Prince of Wei out before, but now he regretted it very much. If the person who delivered the order at that time was from the Prince of Wei, it would be easy to deal with the nobles. At most, they could just throw the Prince of Wei out.
