Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 270 The past is gone

Hanoi.

Yuan Baoju originally wanted to stay in Chang'an for a while, but Yuan Mingyue and Princess Yifu both disliked him.

Helpless, he had no choice but to set off again, rushing back to Hanoi from Chang'an. He wanted to see Yuan Ziyou first, but Erzhu Rong intercepted him.

Wang Xiang, a close attendant of Erzhu Rong, smiled and invited Yuan Baoju to the outside of Erzhu Rong's tent.

"General Tianzhu is waiting for the Prince of Nanyang in his tent!"

"Thank you!"

Although Yuan Baoju was unruly, he didn't dare to really court death and remained respectful in front of Erzhu Rong and the Erzhu clan.

After all, they really are capable of killing.

Yuan Baoju lifted the tent flap and went inside, where he saw Erzhu Rong drinking with his subordinates.

"Oh, the Prince of Nanyang has arrived!"

Erzhu Rong was tall and had thick hair. When he called out, the eyes of his wolf-like warriors looked over, making Yuan Baoju's legs go weak.

"General Tianzhu, I pay my respects!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Prince of Nanyang. I wonder if you gained anything from your trip to Guanzhong?"

"Reporting to General Tianzhu, the reason why Da Yeshuang sent Xiao Gang to Luoyang was to fulfill his agreement with the Liang people."

Erzhu Rong held up his wine cup, took a small sip, and asked:
"This will not reassure the Emperor!"

As soon as Erzhu Rong finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent became much more tense.

Yuan Baoju felt a sense of pressure, lowered his head, and cupped his hands, saying:
"General Tianzhu is right, but Da Yeshuang is arrogant and rude, and I can't do anything about him."

Erzhu Rong said with a cold face:
"The Prince of Nanyang has failed in his duties and has betrayed the Emperor's trust. Guards, drag him away and give him twenty strokes of the cane!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Baoju's face filled with panic, and he begged for mercy:

"General Tianzhu, please forgive me! General Tianzhu, please forgive me!"

Yuan Baoju was dragged out of the tent. Murong Shaozong stepped forward and advised:
"General Tianzhu, he is, after all, the Prince of Nanyang and the Prince of Qin's brother-in-law. This is not appropriate!"

Erzhu Rong laughed and said:
"I called it to show my third brother!"

Murong Shaozong sighed inwardly, wondering why Erzhu Rong always lost his composure when Li Shuang was involved.

A wail came from outside the tent. Erzhu Rong looked at Murong Shaozong and asked:
"You went to the front lines, how was it?"

"The several gaps in our attack that we had chosen beforehand have now been blocked by the reinforcements brought by Li Shengui. It will probably be difficult for us to launch another attack!"

Erzhu Rong frowned and asked:

“Li Shengui is not knowledgeable in military affairs, how could he have such abilities? Is someone helping him?”

Murong Shaozong replied:

"This has not yet been determined, but Li Shengui has no shortage of fierce generals under his command, and his soldiers are different from the soldiers that Yuan Hao has temporarily recruited. They still have the strength to fight."

Erzhu Rong listened and smiled dismissively.

"He had the strength to fight, but he had no will to fight. What was he doing after entering Luoyang?"

"I heard he hired a lot of caravans to go to Shancheng."

Erzhu Rong's expression changed. He took a deep breath and, after a long while, calmed himself down before saying:
“My third brother is really capable. He said he wouldn’t come to Luoyang, but he didn’t take anything less from the city.”

Murong Shaozong listened to Erzhu Rong's words and glanced at Erzhu Rong's expression. For the first time, he sensed such obvious emotion on this overlord's face.

Killing intent!
Luoyang, Shuangnü Temple.

"Prince of Chenliu, halt! Lady Fengyi will not receive guests today!"

Two nuns blocked Li Shenggui's way, preventing him from entering the temple.

Upon seeing this, Li Shengui simply said:
Didn't you tell her it was me?

"As I said, Lady Fengyi said that the past is the past, and there is no need to see old friends again!"

"Hey, that woman is so heartless!"

Li Shenggui left cursing, and the nun, seeing this, returned to the temple.

Hu Xuanhui, who had already shaved his head, was reciting scriptures, but his emotions were clearly not as calm as usual. It wasn't until he heard the nun's echo saying that Li Shenggui had left that Hu Xuanhui finally calmed down.

But the sense of loss in my heart could not be made up for.

Hu Xuanhui closed his eyes, and the faster he twirled the prayer beads in his hands, the faster he chanted.

into the night.

Hu Xuanhui finally calmed down the emotions that had been stirred up in his heart, and was about to wash up and go to bed.

But the commotion outside alerted her.

"Who's out there?"

"Of course it's me!"

Upon hearing the sound, Hu Xuanhui put down the crossbow he had taken from the hidden compartment, coughed a few times, and signaled the dark figures outside to retreat. Li Shenggui dusted himself off, walked into the house from outside, and looked at Hu Xuanhui with a grin.

"It won't be easy for you to get in here!"

After several years apart, Li Shenggui has become even more mature.

When Hu Xuanhui saw Li Shengui, he was initially delighted, but then his expression turned serious.

"Haven't I already said it? What's past is past!"

"You're done on your end, but I'm not done yet!"

As Li Shenggui approached, Hu Xuanhui felt both nervous and expectant.

"what are you up to?"

"What else can we do!"

"I have already shaved my head and become a monk!"

Li Shenggui became even more excited upon hearing this.

"That's not right!"

……

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

……

On the bed, Li Shengui looked at Hu Xuanhui, who was getting dressed, and asked:
"Why are you keeping so many assassins?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xuanhui's expression changed drastically. He turned around, looked at Li Shenggui, and said:

"How did you know?"

Li Shengui looked at Hu Xuanhui's expression and said:

"Isn't it obvious? All these servants in your temple have the same look in their eyes as veteran soldiers; they've all killed people!"

Hu Xuanhui listened with some emotion and said:

"You can't even fool yourself, let alone that person!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shengui raised an eyebrow and said:
"What do you mean you can't even fool me? Am I that bad?!"

Hu Xuanhui ignored Li Shengui and simply said:

"How exactly can we deceive those who wage war?"

"Those who wage war are very cautious. They can tell at a glance whether someone is an assassin or not. If you want to deceive them, find some assassins who are not actually suicide soldiers!"

Li Shenggui's casual remark caused Hu Xuanhui to fall into deep thought.

After a while, Hu Xuanhui looked at Li Shengui and asked:
"You didn't climb over the wall this time just to catch up with me, did you?"

Li Shengui stood up and said:
"if not!"

Li Shenggui was about to touch Hu Xuanhui's shoulder, but she dodged him.

"You are now the Prince of Chenliu, a great general, unlike before. I knew that the moment I saw you. Tell me, what is it?"

Li Shen Track:

"I heard that Miss Yuan is with you!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xuanhui's expression changed drastically. She unconsciously took a step back, looking somewhat wary.

"what are you up to?"

"I want to take her to Chang'an!"

"She's only a three-year-old child, what does Li Shuang want her for?"

Li Shengui shrugged and honestly said:
"How should I know? If my sworn brother says so, then I'll do it!"

"You just listen to him like that?"

Li Shengui looked indifferent and said:
"if not?"

Hu Xuanhui's expression was complicated. After a long while, he said:

"She died young!"

"If she died young, would I still ask for this? Do you really want her to stay in a temple from childhood and spend the rest of her life with only the dim light of the lamp and the ancient Buddha?"

Hu Xuanhui clasped his hands together and said:
"That might not be a bad thing for her!"

Li Shengui shook his head and said:
"This is what you think, but it may not be what she wants! Besides, can Luoyang still be the same as before, where she can spend her days with only the dim light of a lamp and ancient Buddha statues?"

Hu Xuanhui looked at Li Shengui, his heart wavering.
