    Li Shimin was also not surprised at all. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Since Brother Long already knows the identity of the young master of the Dark Sect, he must be able to guess that the woman who left two warning messages for the young master is Xiuning."  At this point, he looked at his beloved sister with soft eyes.  Before I could ask, he continued, "Brother Long, don't be surprised. Just listen to me and you will understand." Then he told me exactly what happened.  It turns out that Li Xiuning married Chai Shao under the coercion of Chai Shao. As early as a year ago, Chai Shao had already coveted Li Xiuning's beauty, and what he valued more was the strength of the Li family.  So he sent a stunning woman from the Anzong to Li Yuan, and after all his efforts, he finally gained Li Yuan's trust.  Unexpectedly, Li Xiuning didn't like Chai Shao at all and refused to associate with Chai Shao.  In anger, Chai Shao ordered the secret sect woman next to Li Yuan to poison Li Yuan's food. However, Li Yuan's body was getting worse day by day, and he had to rely on Chai Shao's medicine to temporarily stop his heartache and bone-piercing pain every day.  pain of.  In order to save Li Yuan's life, Li Xiuning had no choice but to marry Chai Shao, but her hatred for Chai Shao grew day by day, so she and Chai Shaoxu secretly collected information about the secret sect, and they left me two letters.  warning.  It was precisely because of the huge sacrifice made by Li Xiuning that the lives of many loyal ministers and generals of Li Tang were saved and the country of Li Tang was saved.  Li Yuan finally understood, but Li Xiuning, who had first glimpsed the powerful underground forces of the Dark Sect, knew very well how ruthless Chai Shao was. At that time, many officials with real power in the Tang Dynasty were tightly controlled by Chai Shao through his identity as the consort.  Drawn to his side.  If we attack the Chai family rashly, we will not be able to eliminate the Chai family.  The Tang Dynasty will also collapse quickly.  Under the earnest persuasion of Li Xiuning and Li Shimin.  Li Yuancai tolerated it and secretly weakened the power of officials close to the Chai family.  Gradually weakened the Chai family's influence on the military and politics of the Tang Dynasty.  However, Li Yuan accidentally discovered that Li Jiancheng was secretly colluding with Chai Shao. With the help of Li Jiancheng as the prince, he slightly restored the situation and even dared to compete with Li Yuan in the court.  This made Li Yuan furious. He had the idea of ??deposing Li Jiancheng as the crown prince. At this time, Li Yuan's drunken and promiscuous harem incident happened, which made Li Yuan firm on this idea.  Li Jiancheng was worried that his position as prince would not be guaranteed, so he was instigated by Chai Shao.  It was decided to kill Li Yuan on the day of Li Yuan's birthday, so that Li Jiancheng could succeed to the throne in advance by virtue of his status as prince, and then create Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion in one fell swoop.  After learning the truth of the matter, Kou Zhong and I couldn't help but look at Li Xiuning with a little more admiration. We didn't expect that she, a princess with a golden body and beautiful leaves, could be so strong. Even compared to those who claim to be  The heroic seven-foot man is even better.  I frowned and asked Li Shimin: "Brother Shimin, do you know how much military power Li Jiancheng holds?" Li Shimin replied without hesitation: "Including the Imperial Guards in the palace, there are a total of 100,000 troops and horses around Chang'an City.  The four camps in the outer city, totaling 50,000 soldiers and horses, are all in my hands, but the 40,000 city defense troops in the inner city are in the hands of my eldest brother.  General Wei Yongfeng only had 100,000 troops in Shangjun and Shuofang.  The general Ji Hong who stayed behind in Taiyuan also has 100,000 soldiers and horses. If something happens, Ji Hong's soldiers and horses can rush to Chang'an in four days to assist the king.  Although Wei Yongfeng's position is unclear, it will take at least ten days for his army to arrive.  If the eldest brother really rebels on the day of his father's birthday, he will have to dedicate at least 20,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack of the four battalions of soldiers and horses in the outer city, and the 10,000 imperial guards in the imperial city are enough to resist the remaining 20,000 city defense troops.  Ten days.  There are ten days.  Ji Hong's troops had already arrived in Chang'an.  Unlike the guards and horses in Chang'an, the soldiers and horses stationed in Taiyuan have sufficient siege equipment. With the help of Ji Hong's soldiers and horses, they will definitely be able to capture Chang'an within two days.  " I chuckled, looked at Li Shimin and then at Li Xiuning beside me. I smiled and said, "Since Brother Shimin has already planned the strategy and is sure of victory, why do you still make an appointment?  " Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he suddenly said in a humble voice: "Brother Long, listen to me. What I just said was just the troops of the two sides. What I am most worried about is the endless number of masters of the Dark Sect. There are these people.  Existence is the biggest threat to the imperial city's 10,000 imperial guards. They are no more proficient in assassination than regular soldiers and horses. For them, victory or defeat is no longer determined by their numbers.  So I hope Brother Long can take action to deal with killers like the Dark Sect.  Thank you very much Li Shimin!  " He stopped Li Shimin, who was about to bow and salute, and said: "Brother Shimin, don't worry. It is my duty to deal with these people from the Dark Sect.  He paused and looked at Li Shimin and said, "Brother Shimin seems to have forgotten Wei Yongfeng and the 13,000 elite wolf riders from the East and West Turks outside the city."  " Li Shimin was startled after hearing this. Then he smiled and said: "Tuli Khan of the Eastern Turks and Zhao Deyan, the Imperial Master of the Western Turks, have reached an agreement with me not to interfere in my Li Tang's family affairs.  And Wei Yongfeng's soldiers and horses are monitoring the Turkic soldiers and horses according to my orders.If they do anything inappropriate, they will all be annihilated.  " Hearing what Li Shimin said, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart. Could it be that the special report that Yang Tian said about Wei Yongfeng's secret dealings with the Chai family was wrong? Could it be that Wei Yongfeng was a pawn arranged by Li Shimin to be with Wei Yongfeng? Thinking of this,  Then he said to Li Shimin: "According to the news from Tianya Haige, Wei Yongfeng and Chai Shao secretly communicated in a ditch. Brother Shimin had to guard against it.  " Li Shimin smiled faintly and said: "Brother Long, don't worry, Wei Yongfeng colluded with the people of the Anzong under my instruction. The original purpose was to imitate the power of the Anzong in our territory of Li Tang.  Therefore, Wei Yongfeng was indispensable for being able to truly weaken the image of the Dark Sect in the court.  "I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Brother Shimin, since you said that, you are overthinking.  However, I have a question that I would like to ask Brother Shimin.  " Li Shimin looked stunned and said with some surprise: "Brother Long, please tell me?  " "Brother Shimin, how do you think Prince Jiancheng's talents compare to yours?  "I asked with a smile. Ming immediately listened to my question. His face was a little embarrassed and he didn't know how to answer. Li Xiuning next to him interjected: "Prince Jiancheng is just a little clever.  How can it be compared with the wisdom of the second brother?  " "Oh. That's right." I raised my eyebrows. I nodded. With a natural smile on my face, I said: "Brother Shimin, if you are the Khan of the East and West Turks, who do you want to board Li Tang?  Where is the throne?  "Li Shimin and Li Xiuning brother and sister were stunned at the same time. They suddenly understood and hesitated: "This" "Hey, don't worry, King Qin. The Turkic Army will be left to me.  I want to see whether the Turkic wolf army is more ferocious or my ¡®wolf teeth¡¯ are sharper!  "Kou Zhong didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish. He patted his chest and agreed. The basic things had been discussed. Li Xiuning, who had been silently apologizing, suddenly said: "Second brother, young marshal, can Mr. Long and I be together?  Talk alone?  Xiuning had something to say to him.  " Li Xiuning's words made me a little surprised. Li Shimin and Kou Zhong looked at each other and walked out knowingly, leaving time for the two of us. There was silence in the secret room. Li Xiuning's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and sat quietly.  There. I walked over to her and sat down. I asked with a smile: "Since Xiuning has something on her mind, why didn't she say it?  " Li Xiuning raised his head. His face was gloomy, and he said helplessly and self-deprecatingly: "Even if you say it, there will be no results?  " Staring into Li Xiuning's eyes, he said word by word: "Don't tell me.  How do you know if there will be a result?  "After a pause, I continued: "Is it really that simple to leave me a warning letter just to retaliate against Chai Shao and destroy the secret sect's plan?  In fact, that night in Hulao, I had already woken up from the moment you stepped into the courtyard. From your every move, I could feel your deep love for me. Why should I lie to myself?  War is a man's business. Since there is only hatred between you and Chai Shao, why should you wrong yourself like this? Leave him and come to me.  " Li Xiuning looked a little panicked when I said the central thing. His sad expression was filled with happiness for a moment, but it was only a momentary flash. He shook his head and his voice was a little pale. "No. I can't.  If I do that, I will be disabled, and it will be impossible for you and me to be together.  "    "I do not care!  " "But I care!  "Li Xiuning stood up in a hurry. Her dull, haggard and pale cheeks were full of sad tears, but her hysterical voice was filled with a sadness that was inappropriate for her age. "Brother Tian, ??I don't know if you believe in love at first sight.  .  But I believe that when I was very young, I dreamed that my husband would be an upright man. From the moment I saw you at Pegasus Ranch, I couldn¡¯t help but fall in love with you.  But I know that it is just my own extravagant wish. How can I, with the appearance of a broken willow, be worthy of you, the hero of the world?  " I stood up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Xiuning. He shook his head and said softly: "No. Brother Tian, ??don't say anything. Xiuning understands your heart, and I also know that Brother Tian is.  Be kind to me sincerely.  But this is Xiuning's fate. Maybe she did evil things in her previous life. She must use the happiness of this life to pay for it.  "At this point, she smiled faintly, but without the sadness and forgiveness she had just now. "In the past, Xiuning always complained about God's injustice. Now that I have met a man who is worthy of loving in my life, but I can't love.  Now I finally understand that loving someone does not necessarily mean getting him. As long as he can be happy, as long as he understands my heart. No matter how much misfortune Xiu Ning is, she is willing to bear it!  " Li Xiuning threw herself into my arms, raised her toes, and closed her eyes tightly. Her four lips met with deep affection that said no. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, and crystal clear tears flowed down her pink and tender eyes.  The skin slipped gently. It was as white as flawless.Her slender jade-like hands gently caressed my cheek, and she whispered with a smile and tears, "Xiu Ning will remember this feeling for the rest of her life." After saying that, she left my arms and walked away quietly.  I know. In this life and this life, our trajectories will no longer intersect After leaving Tiance Mansion for four consecutive days, Chang'an City seemed calm on the surface. How could ordinary people see the murderous intentions hidden behind the prosperity.  Dugu Feng also came to our residence, and Zhu Yuyan was really right.  As soon as we met this girl, she punched and kicked me without any explanation, then she threw herself into my arms and started crying. She couldn't stop crying.  I tried my best to suppress the smile on the bottom of the box, and brought out all the love words to finally stop her crying.  In order to reduce the losses of 'Langya', I asked the Dugu Clan's army to secretly mobilize 10,000 troops to assist Langya.  Ji Hong personally led 70,000 troops and horses to leave Taiyuan, and it was estimated that he would arrive at the ambush location designated by Li Shimin in one day.  According to the information from Eagle Eye, Wei Yongfeng also followed Li Shimin's order. The 60,000 soldiers and horses led by Shangjun will arrive forty miles north of Chang'an City in two days to monitor every move of the Turkic soldiers and horses.  Jing Wuming turned out to be a close friend of Li Shimin. His master died unexpectedly a year ago, so he took over as the head of Jingzhao Lian, the most powerful gang near Chang'an.  However, because of his junior qualifications, some elders in the gang did not support him. Under Chai Shao's deliberate intention, most of the people in Jing Zhaolian had already defected to the Ansect.  In the past few days, the Xiang family has been the most miserable, and the criticism against them has become stronger and stronger.  In just a few days, the Xiang family's property in the entire Central Plains was divided up under the planning of thoughtful people, and 70% of the property fell into the pockets of "Tianya Hai Pavilion". Only one person from the Xiang family, Xiang Yushan, escaped.  When they reached the territory of the Turks, everyone else died tragically under the sticks of the angry crowd.  There are two days left before Li Yuan¡¯s birthday. Dongfang Yanran and Nangong Qian also came to Chang¡¯an, and my little family was finally reunited.  Under Yang Tian's arrangement, two hundred masters from the "Tianya Hai Pavilion" were mobilized nearby, each of whom had first-class skills. They secretly sneaked into Chang'an. Under Li Shimin's arrangement, they secretly lurked in the palace.  And the Eighteen Cavalrymen also transformed themselves into Li Yuan's personal bodyguards under my instruction.
