Chapter 543

On the banks of the Yellow River, soldiers are in turmoil, and horseshoes kick the snow away.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes and the sound of breaking through the sky were mixed together.

And in the sky, snowflakes are falling, confused, as if people can't see everything in front of them clearly.

The Yellow River torrented and the waves were turbulent. Standing on the bank, Li Zhiwan watched the scene of falling snow, but her vision was a little blurred.

At the age of 12, Li Shimin and his three brothers and sisters also had such a heavy snowfall in their hometown.

The snow was piled up everywhere, Li Shimin swept out an open space in the backyard of his house, set up traps, swept up bait, and waited for the birds to eat.

It snowed heavily that time, and the birds in my hometown hadn’t eaten for a long time, so if they were caught by traps, they would always harvest a lot of birds.

Catching Que'er at that time, Li Zhiwan could smile happily for a whole day.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhiwan's mouth.

The horse's hooves were rolling, and the snow was splashing. Seeing the scene in front of her, Li Zhiwan felt that what she had done for Datang was meaningless!

Father and son are kind and filial, brothers are harmonious, all of these things, I will never see them from now on.

When the Promise Hall arrived, when the blood flowed to the top of the ranks, which Li family member's blood would be shed, whether it was his eldest brother's, his second brother's, or Yuanji's.

None of this mattered, because the one who survived was also the murderer of his brother.

Could it be that this is the Datang that he brought down with his own hands, the Li family that he wanted to defend to the death, that brother killed each other, father and son turned against Datang, how could Li Zhiwan have the courage to visit him.

They are all their relatives, and now they are going to leave Li Zhiwan one by one.Either they died at the hands of their own brothers, and the one who survived was her enemy. Today, her second brother would even kill herself.

Li Zhiwan's heart was pierced like a thousand sharp knives, what's the point of living for her right now.Maybe now that they are dead, they don't have to see the scene of blood and blood.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwan showed a calm look on her face, death is the best destination for her now.

The long sword was slowly withdrawn from the scabbard, Li Zhiwan's clear eyes were looking in the direction of Chang'an in the distance.

"Father, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial. I can no longer serve you." Li Zhiwan said softly.

"Your Highness, you can't." Lan Kai stepped forward and said hastily.

Li Zhiwan glanced at Lan Kai, smiled, and put more force on her wrist and sword.

"No, Your Royal Highness, you cannot die. If you die, King Zhao will be sad."

Li Zhiwan was taken aback, and asked, "Lan Kai, what did you say?"

Lan Kai said: "Princess, please forgive me. My subordinate is not named Lan Kai, but Xu Kai. I am not from Wuwei, but from Taiyuan. Three years ago, I was ordered to lurk in the Princess's mansion."

"Okay, Lan Kai, it's in vain for me to take you as my confidant, but it's hard for you to hide it from me." Li Zhiwan's eyes froze.

Lan Kai raised his head and said proudly: "Your Highness, although my subordinate is Zhao Jun's secret agent, but I have served Her Majesty for three years, but I have never disclosed anything about Her Majesty to Zhao Guo. In the past three years, I have never done anything disrespectful to Her Majesty. With sincerity, I have not disclosed a single military secret of Datang to Zhao Guo in the past three years."

"This subordinate has only one mission since he came to Her Royal Highness, to protect Her Royal Highness, even if he sacrifices his life."

Li Zhiwan suddenly understood something, she bit her lower lip lightly with her bright teeth and asked, "It's because of you that you lurk by my side..."

"That's right, this subordinate is following King Zhao's wishes. Apart from this subordinate, there are also three Zhao Jun secret agents who are also lurking beside the princess. They also want to protect Her Royal Highness with their lives."

"So that's the case, then why didn't he let you send me a message?" Li Zhiwan asked.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. I just advise Her Highness, don't seek short-sightedness, even if it's because of King Zhao, Her Highness can't die."

"Thank you." Li Zhiwan smiled happily, sheathing her sword.

Suddenly Li Zhiwan threw the fox fur on her body to the ground, revealing her fitness attire, and the frailty just now was swept away from her body.Zhi Wan said: "Even though Zheng Jun is coming, if we go upriver, there must be a boat there!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhiwan raised her whip vigorously, and rode several horses along the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

On the way, he fought fiercely with Zheng Junxiaoqi, and all the other cavalry were lost. Only Lan Kai, who was hit by several arrows, followed Li Zhiwan.

"Boat! Your Royal Highness, it's a boat!" Lan Kai shouted excitedly.

Li Zhiwan saw that it was a small boat, parked not far behind the reeds, and an old man in coir raincoat at the bow seemed to be fishing.

"Boatman!"

Li Zhiwan and Lan Kai shouted together.The cavalrymen of the Zheng army also found out and came after them.

Seeing that he was about to reach the side of the boat, he shot an arrow coldly from behind.Lan Kai spurted blood from his mouth, and was hit by an arrow and turned over and fell off his horse.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhiwan gritted her teeth and tried her best to drive the horse, and the horse jumped onto the boat.

"sail!"

After hearing this, the boatman tried his best to support the boat to leave the shore.

"Stop, stop for me!"

Zheng Jun's cavalry rushed to the river with a high drink, but saw that the boat had left the bank.

"Fire me an arrow!" General Zheng Jun shouted angrily.

Zheng Jun's cavalry drew their bows on their horses, and a burst of arrows shot towards the small boat sailing in the middle of the river.

The boatman at the helm couldn't dodge in time, and fell into the Yellow River in the middle, and the boat lost control of the boatman, spinning and going downstream with the torrent of the Yellow River.

"General, dead or alive?"

The general Zheng Jun said: "So many sharp arrows have passed by, and I can't live if I think about it. Forget it, go back and report to Your Majesty, saying that we shot and killed General Tang Jun."
All the Zheng army cavalry agreed together, at this moment, a fast horse came galloping and said: "The Tang army has come out of the camp to kill!"

General Zheng Jun was surprised when he heard the words, and when he saw the sound of drums and drums in the distance, the soldiers of the Tang Army were coming to kill here.

"Withdraw!" General Zheng Jun waved his horse, and all the Zheng Jun cavalry decisively urged the horses.General Zheng Jun took another look at the boat going downstream, shook his head, and rode away again.

The snow stopped for a while, and the sky gradually darkened.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others rode their horses towards the Yellow River. Duan Zhixuan, a general of the Tang army, told Li Shimin, "The Zheng army's cavalry are very cunning. They all ran away when they saw our army's flag. I also caught more than [-] riders!"

Li Shimin looked at Duan Zhixuan and asked, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the princess?"

"This," Duan Zhixuan hesitated and said, "Zheng Jun's captives have different confessions, but generally speaking, all the Tang soldiers were killed, and finally a few cavalry fled to the riverside to board the boat, but they were shot by random arrows. Killed and fell into the Yellow River! There are discrepancies in the details, but the general situation is the same."

Grandson Wuji!Li Shimin suddenly shouted.

"The last general is here!" Changsun Wuji bowed his head and cupped his fists.

"On the battlefield, can you find anything?"

Changsun Wuji said: "We have collected all the corpses, many of them were trampled into a pulp by horseshoes, making it impossible to identify, and we found Her Royal Highness Princess by the river, wearing fox fur! The general will venture to speculate, Her Royal Highness may...may have fallen into the river."

After all, a soldier gave the fox fur he picked up to Li Shimin to have a look.Seeing that it really belonged to Li Zhiwan, Li Shimin fell silent immediately.

The generals looked at the tumbling and roaring Yellow River. In the cold winter months, if they fell into the Yellow River, there was absolutely no possibility of surviving.

The people around were silent for a while, at this moment someone came riding a horse, and everyone thought it was Chai Shao.

But seeing that Chai Shao was pale and bloodless, he asked as soon as they met, "His Royal Highness Qin, how is the princess safe?"

Li Shimin shook his head, pointed at Hu Qiu and said, "Third Sister, she left me."

Hearing that he saw the fox fur, Chai Shao stretched out his hand to stroke it, but saw that it was indeed Li Zhiwan's.Chai Shao could smell Li Zhiwan's breath, and he couldn't help but looked up to the sky and said in mourning: "Wang Shichong, if I don't kill you, I, Chai Shao, swear not to be human!"

After speaking, Chai Shao resolutely raised his whip and rode away.

Li Shimin watched Chai Shao go away, and said coldly to the generals: "You are not allowed to disclose the death of Her Royal Highness, so as not to shake the morale of our army. Over there in Chang'an, I will present a memorial to the Emperor Father. Remember, everyone, Those who disobey the order shall be beheaded!"

"promise!"

All the generals agreed together and left separately.

Changsun Wuji said: "King Qin, let's go back to the camp too, it's cold here, it will be bad if there are Rangers who are alone with Zheng Jun."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I want to be alone."

In Youjing City.

It was also a heavy snow, but in the bedroom, the charcoal fire was lightly ignited, but it was as warm as spring.

Li Chongjiu was pacing in the hall with his infant daughter in his arms, but his face was full of father's kindness.

Empress Xiao and the two former concubines of the Chen family were also sitting there, talking with Yang Ehuang.

Yang Ehuang smiled happily with shallow brows.

Empress Xiao looked at Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang, and regret that they couldn't be perfect.

Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang are so affectionate, and they also have a daughter. It would be great if Yang Ehuang could not give birth to a prince for Li Chongjiu.

Empress Xiao couldn't help but smile when she thought of this, yes, there is no such thing as perfection in the world.Life is inherently imperfect.

Thinking of this, Empress Xiao couldn't help but feel relieved.

Li Chongjiu said at this time: "Ehuang, what do you think we should name our daughter?"

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Yang Ehuang turned to look at Empress Xiao and asked, "Yes, Queen Mother, what do you think?"

Empress Xiao said with a smile: "This is a matter between your husband and wife, so don't ask me about it. Speaking of names, this is a very troublesome thing. The Ai family doesn't want to add a few white hairs so early because of this." What about the hair?"

After speaking, everyone in the room laughed.

Chen's sister said: "I think this little princess is so cute, no matter what name she chooses, it must be very nice."

"Yeah, I can tell at a glance that the little princess is a blessed person. Parents, grandma, grandpa, so many people love him, where did he get that blessing?"

"That's right, this is the daughter of the royal family!"

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard the words, and Yang Ehuang was even more happy from his face.
