Chapter 652: Watching on the wall

Li Yu's troops at Longmen Pass retreated, which really reduced the pressure on the Eight Kings.

They were also afraid that after they finally captured the capital, Li Yu suddenly led his army to pick the fruits of victory.

Now Li Yu retreated his troops, leaving only Shen Fang to lead 100,000 troops to guard Longmen Pass, which was obviously a defensive posture.

This shows that Li Yu has no intention of advancing the capital, which makes the kings breathe a sigh of relief.

But among the kings, some were happy and some were worried.

Only one person is worried, Li Zhen, the King of Dai.

He thought Li Yu would have the intention to seize the throne, but he did not expect that Li Yu would give in. Even Li Yu himself led his troops to Qincheng, set off his stance, and prepared to devote himself to the reconstruction of Qinzhou.

This made Li really unhappy.

I angered that he was not strong and hated that he did not fight.

Li Zhen himself was not very interested in the throne, and he didn't like Li Deng, Li Lie, Li Hao and others.

Even Li Feng, the brother of the same father and mother, felt that he was not worthy of reaching the throne.

Relatively speaking, Li Zhen is more optimistic about Li Yu.

As a result, Li Yu had no intention of seizing the throne at all, so he ran away first.

For this reason, Li Zhen also made a special trip to Qincheng.

Qincheng, as the prefecture of Qinzhou, was also robbed by the Xifan Army and the city was severely damaged.

When Li Zhen came to Qincheng, construction was everywhere inside and outside the city.

The damaged farmland was rebuilt outside the city, and the walls were repaired inside the city, and a large number of damaged houses were pushed to rebuild.

The entire city was filled with dust and the sound of ping-pong was constantly coming.

Li Zhenxijing, he really doesn't want to stay in this kind of environment for a day.

He walked along the way and inquired, and came to Li Yu's Wu Palace.

There is no Wu Palace in Qincheng at all, and the Wu Palace was rebuilt on a ruin.

When he arrived at the gate of the King of Wu's Mansion, Li Zhen happened to see a group of people coming out of it.

These people were wrapped in cloth towels on their heads, wearing short brown bodies, and covered in dust. When they saw that they were the coolies who were doing rough work.

In the crowd, a little fat man said loudly, "We have to have a good meal today! We have been working all morning and my waist is almost exhausted!"

Li Zhen recognized the little fat man at first sight, Liang Pi!

He looked closely and realized that Li Yu was walking beside Liang Pi.

He couldn't help but say in surprise: "Seventeenth brother?"

Li Yu, who walked out with Liang Pi, looked up and widened his eyes in disbelief, and said in surprise and joy: "Brother Seven?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked up to meet him and asked, "Brother Seven?"

Why did Brother Qi come to Qincheng?

When did it come?"

Looking at Li Yu who was walking towards him quickly, the expression on Li Zhen's face was both amused and helpless.

He frowned and asked, "What are you dressing up?"

How can a dignified vassal king look like?

Li Yu subconsciously looked down at his body, and it was a little dirty.

He rubbed his hands and said, "I...I am building a house!"

As he spoke, he quickly patted the dust on his body again.

Li Zhen, who was originally standing in front of him, leaned back two steps.

Li Yu scratched his head embarrassedly, and then he respectfully intervened to Li Zhen and said, "Brother Li Yu, pay homage to Brother Seven!"

Li Zhen waved his hand, and when the dust disappeared, he walked back and asked with a frown: "You need to build the house yourself?"

Li Yu grinned and smiled at Li Zhen, explaining: "Isn't this a lack of manpower? I have scattered all the 100,000 border brothers, but the progress of rebuilding Qin City is still slow!"

If there are enough manpower, why would Li Yu personally act as a laborer?

He suddenly thought of something, and once again bowed respectfully to Li Zhen, saying, "I haven't thanked Brother Qi for saving my life! Last time in Panlong Town, if Brother Qi hadn't helped me, I would have died long ago!"

Li Zhen waved his hand distractedly, indicating that Li Yu didn't have to keep this matter in mind.

He said, "You and I are brothers. When I see you in danger, how can I sit back and see you ignoring me?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Yu's right hand.

At that time, he could see how serious Li Yu's right hand was injured very clearly. Unexpectedly, Lao Shiqi's right hand actually recovered, which was really incredible.

Li Yu seemed particularly excited about Li Zhen’s arrival.

He said enthusiastically: "Brother Qi hasn't eaten yet, right?

Let’s go, I’ll treat Brother Qi to a big meal!”

"Yes, yes! I just said, it's time to have a meal today!"

Liang Pi nodded repeatedly and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, he also intervened to Li Zhen and said, "Boy Liang Pi, I have met His Highness Dai King!"

Li Zhen nodded lightly, saying that he had responded.

His character has always been cold and he doesn't care much about people and things, including his brothers.

Liang Pi was used to Li Zhen's cold attitude and knew that Li Zhen had such a personality.

Li Zhen asked curiously: "Seventeenth brother, is there any place for Qincheng to eat now?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "There is a good restaurant!"

Liang Pi continued, "The name is Qingxiang Pavilion! He was very famous in Qinzhou before!"

Li Zhen nodded and said, "I've heard of it."

He has been to Qincheng before.

At that time, Qincheng was still very lively and prosperous, but now it has almost become a ruin.

He said quietly: "The people of Xifan do evil in Qinzhou!"

Li Yu continued, "So my brother will beat them out of Qinzhou and drive them back to Xifan!"

Li Zhen nodded with relief.

Qingxiang Pavilion is one of the few surviving buildings in Qincheng.

They and their group booked a private room.

Li Yu also specially changed into clean clothes.

When the food and food were all here, Li Yu and Li Zhen were having a chat.

He asked curiously: "Why did Brother Qi suddenly come to Qinzhou?"

Li Zhen put down his chopsticks and said, "I want to ask you, why did you come to Qincheng?

Do you know that the army of the kings is about to attack the capital. Once the capital is forced and Li Guan is abolished, the new emperor will be born!"

Li Yu nodded.

Li Zhen asked unhappily: "Are you not moved at all by the throne and have no intention?"

Li Yu did not immediately answer Li Zhen’s question, and he asked back: “Brother Seventh thought, who is most likely to take the throne when the capital was destroyed?”

Li Zhen took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's King Yan!"

Li Yu said: "When King Yan takes the throne, the world will be peaceful?"

Li Zhen and Li Yu looked at each other for a moment and shook their heads slowly.

Won't!

Li Hao, Li Feng, Li Jin, Li Hong, and Li Le will not be convinced. Even Li Deng, who is timid and afraid of things, will not be in the same position as Li Lie.

Seeing Li Zhen fall into deep thought, Li Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The king of Yan has reached the top, but the kings are still dissatisfied. If I were to the top, wouldn't the kings be even more dissatisfied?

Therefore, no matter who is the emperor, he will become the target of public criticism!”

"So, you hid in Qincheng?"

Li Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It seems that Lao Shiqi is not without the will to seize the throne or enterprising spirit.

However, he temporarily hid in Qincheng and watched from the wall.
