It was already late at night. When Mingde Gate in Chang'an City was about to close, more than a dozen military horses rushed from a distance like lightning, scaring hundreds of people who were about to leave the city dodge to both sides. The cavalry team arrived in an instant, and the officer in charge held up a token and shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles of emergency military information! Go away."

The soldiers guarding the city recognized the token and hurriedly dodged a path. The cavalry team rushed into Chang'an City without stopping.

Cui Yuan stood up suddenly, "What! Zhu Xicai is dead?"

His eyes went dark and he fell heavily on the couch. Zhu Xicai was actually dead. He couldn't believe that the news was true no matter what.

"Reported to the Prime Minister, the thirteen generals of the chief lieutenant wanted to rebel together. General Zhu died in the chaos in order to stop them. His Majesty has already posthumously awarded him the Duke of Zhu and the three corpses of the founding of the Mansion.

"Where are the thirteen commanders?" Cui Yuan asked extremely weakly.

"Report to the Prime Minister, all thirteen people have been sentenced!"

Cui Yuan waved her hand weakly, "I understand, I will reward you with a hundred guan, go!"

The person who reported the news withdrew, and Cui Yuan closed his eyes tiredly, his mind was blank. He had not succeeded in seizing power, and he even lost one of the most capable generals. This was a severe defeat he had never experienced in more than ten years, and even more serious than the failure of the last time he was appointed as the crown prince.

When did the Li Group become so powerful?

Cui Yuan's mind had a pale and thin face. The emperor who had been addicted to alcohol and sex for fifteen years had seemed to have changed from the court meeting at the beginning of the year.

"Li Shi!" He murmured twice, and he suddenly gritted his teeth, "Just be arrogant! I want to see how long you can laugh?"

Soon he recovered from Zhu Xicai's death, reached out and gently pulled the rope, and the butler immediately appeared at the door.

"Go! Get Zhu Li for me."

The butler hesitated for a moment, "Master, it's already late at night. It will affect the Master's rest and the Master's health..."

Cui Yuan glanced at him coldly, and the butler was so scared that he shivered and went away in panic.

Cui Yuan closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, then sat up again. He took the military newspaper and looked carefully again, "It's interesting to establish the Tianqi Camp. Establishing the Longwu Army by himself, he established the Tianqi Camp." Cui Yuan snorted and continued to look down.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped, and he saw a very familiar name. Zhang Huan, the General of the Tianqi Camp, "Zhang Huan?" Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Huan became the General of the Tianqi Camp,!

Cui Yuan stood up suddenly. He seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't see clearly. He walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he stopped and the knot in his heart suddenly unraveled. It was the Hedong Army. The Zhang family's army was actually used by the Li clan as the Tianqi Camp. It really coincided with his own speculation. This is the conclusive evidence of their collusion."

"Li, Zhang family" Cui Yuan smiled coldly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Zhang Ruohao, it seems that I can't help but let you go!"

At this time, the door knocked gently, and the butler said to the outsider: "Master! Zhu Li is here, waiting to see him at the door."

"Let him come in." Cui Yuan quickly put away the battle report.

"Last time, Zhu Li will bow to the Prime Minister!" Zhu Li strode in and gave Cui Yuan a half-kneel salute.

Cui Yuan waved her hand gently and smiled, "Come on! Sit down and talk."

Zhu Li sat down, he straightened his waist and waited for Cui Yuan to continue asking questions.

"I heard that the Longwu Army was complaining, why is this?"

Zhu Li quickly bowed and said, "Most of the children of the Longwu Army come from officials and aristocratic families in the capital. They are more majestic and lack murderous aura. I train them hard every day to sow away the impetuous aura from them and become a real army."

"Oh! So that's why, how effective?"

Zhu Li shook his head gently, looking a little depressed.

Cui Yuan saw it in his eyes, and he smiled and changed the subject and said, "The siege of the west surrender city has been resolved. Do you have any news about your father?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, my father has passed away." Zhu Li had no expression on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Cui Yuan was stunned. The purpose of his call to Zhu Li was to comfort him, but he had already known about it in advance.

"When did you get the news?"

"One hour ago, a personal soldier of my father fled back to report this to me." Zhu Li replied calmly.

Cui Yuan stared deeply into his eyes. After only an hour, did he look normal? After a while, Cui Yuan said again: "Do you know how he died?"

"Yes, I know!" Zhu Li slowly lowered his head and whispered: "I'm very sad."

"I'm sad too!" Cui Yuan walked slowly in the room with her hands behind her back. His voice was low and slow. "Your father has always been my right-hand man. It would be a huge loss for me if he died. I hope you can fill this gap."

He walked to Zhu Li, patted his shoulder gently, and encouraged him, "Do it well, I know your wish very well, maybe one day our relationship will go further."

Zhu Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately half-kneeled down and gave a big gift to Cui Yuan, "Thank you for your commitment!"

"It's still a little early to thank me now."

Cui Yuan smiled faintly and said, "It's not so easy for my daughter to marry, go ahead and show me."

"yes!"

Zhu Li straightened his waist and walked out of the room. Cui Yuan watched his back disappear, and suddenly showed a cold feeling of disdain on his face, "Pretending in front of me, you are still a little tender!"

On the tenth day after Zhu Xicai's death, Duan Xiushi's condition gradually improved. The Li family left Zhang Yanshang to temporarily assist Duan Xiushi, and he himself was escorted to Zhang Huan's three thousand troops and horses to the capital.

It is already the summer season, and milky white light mist is filled with the air, covering the woods in the distance, and the woods exudes a burning atmosphere.

On this day, less than thirty miles away from Fengxiang, the cavalry team lined up on the official road. Although the weather was hot, the three thousand cavalry were still neat and full of energy.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing that Li Hengqiu, who had just been promoted to a tooth general, Zhang Huan laughed from time to time, and snorted and said disdainfully: "What else can you think except women all day long?"

"Not this time!"

Li Hengqiu scratched the back of his head and grinned, "This time I made a fortune. I wonder if my wife and mother knew about it, I wonder how happy they would be?"

"What about you?"

Zhang Huan pointed at another personal soldier with a whip and smiled: "I heard that you got a lot of gems, do you want to share half of me?"

The personal soldier hesitated for a moment, took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Zhang Huan, saying, "Here! It's all here, the general will choose it yourself!"

Seeing that he really took it out, Zhang Huan couldn't help laughing at the sky and chased Li's carriage.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Shi opened the car window and asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are all homesick."

Li Shi glanced at him and smiled, "What about you? Who are you thinking about?"

"No one wants to do it!"

"Really?" A strong interest suddenly surged in Li Shi's eyes. "This time you are famous. I don't know how many famous ladies in the capital are rushing to marry you. Tell me, who are you interested in? I'll let the queen play a matchmaker for you."

Zhang Huan smiled but said nothing. He suddenly remembered Cui Ning. He hadn't seen him for several months, and he didn't know how she was now?
