If the New Year's Eve of the fifth year of Zhenguan is described in color, the three brothers Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai will definitely define this New Year's Eve as black New Year's Eve at the same time.

So what color should Li Lizhi’s New Year’s Eve be?

I think it is the purple color that represents deep longing.

In Li Lizhi's longing, the sunset of the sixth year of Zhenguan finally arrived.

The curfew in Chang'an City was lifted, with happy smiling faces everywhere, and people could hear each other saying "congratulations on making a fortune".

At the same time, three armies were moving forward in the snow like goose feathers on the official road in the west and north.

To the north are the Right Guard led by Li Jing and the senior officials of the Turkic Protectorate who followed him into Beijing. The sudden war blocked the footsteps of their performance that they should have set out long ago. Now that the war is over, the senior officials of the Protectorate will naturally return to Chang'an.

At the forefront of the team, Li Ji rode on the horse's back and his body slowly rose and fell with the horse's steps. White mist kept spitting out from his nostrils.

"Dingfang!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Go and see the guy in the prison car, don't freeze to death. Tang Laosi still needs to slice it!"

"promise!"

Li Jing ordered, and Su Dingfang responded and turned toward the middle of the team.

Soon, a prison car appeared in Su Lie's eyes. The prison car lived in the grand manner as the first war criminal. The guy was cobbled with his hands and curled up in a prison car covered with hay.

The young Prince Tiel is no longer as full of energy as before. His feet are hidden in haystacks, and his body is covered with hay, and even his hair is covered with a few pieces of hay.

It seems that it is not much different from the beggars in Chang'an City, except for hair accessories.

Su Dingfang looked in the prison car for a while, and confirmed that the sloppy former Prince Tiel inside was still gasping for heat. He turned around and rode forward.

Behind the prison car were a long string of Tieler generals strung with ropes. They were not qualified to enjoy the treatment of generous arrangements, but were walking in the snow one deep and one shallow. Their sheepskin clothes were covered with snowflakes. Many people were trembling while walking, not afraid, but frozen.

"You report to the Grand Manager, the little puppy is fine!"

Su Dingfang bowed and reported: "Compared with those Tieler generals, that guy felt very good. If Deputy General Tang had not called him to return to Chang'an alive, he should have walked at this time! He was dragged by a horse!"

"Okay!"

Li Jing waved his hand and stopped his apprentice's straightforward words, "When you arrive in Chang'an, you will know whether he feels so good. Let's let him get better for a few days."

"Master General!"

Su Lie grinned and asked, "Deputy General Manager Tang really wants to cut him into pieces?"

"Um!"

Li Jing just nodded and didn't talk to him anymore.

But I was silently reciting in my heart: Don’t underestimate the boy on Tanghe. He is like a person who is harmless in daily life. If you really want to be cruel, you are more cruel than anyone else. Otherwise, how did Jingguan in Lingnan come from? Otherwise, how did the title of the number one ruthless man in Chang'an come from?

The pace of the Right Guard's return journey has never stopped, as is the same as the Zuo Xiaogu led by Li Ji, and even more so is the two guards led by Hou Junji and Tang Heshang.

......

Above the Golden Gate Tower, the city gate order has already made itself a husband-watching stone. It has not been closed during the Spring Festival holiday. It has been looking at the West with a telescope on the tower.

"Brother-in-law!"

The soldiers beside him breathed a sigh of relief in their hands, and then rubbed them violently, "We waited here not long after we arrived at the good news. It was the seventh day of the first lunar month. Why haven't the army returned yet? If we wait like this, we will freeze to death before they arrived!"

"Call me boss!"

The city gate rolled his eyes. His brother-in-law was good at everything, but he didn't even talk to his mind. He said angrily: "Why are you called your brother-in-law during the time of duty? You have a lot of things to do, and you didn't see you frozen to death? You are afraid of the cold, so I'm not afraid of the cold? Look carefully. If you can't see the army coming back as soon as possible, I will peel you off!"

The soldier stuck out his tongue and muttered in a low voice: "You dare to peel me? Be careful that I will tell my sister that she will never peel you again!"

———

"What did you say?"

"No! Nothing!"

"snort!"

The city gate snorted coldly, and turned around and said, "I'll go bake the fire, I'll change you in a quarter of an hour, so I'll control my mouth!"

Without waiting for his brother-in-law to answer, the city gate order left his words and walked directly into the dance posture on the city tower.

"Brother-in-law wait!!"

But I didn't expect that after only two steps, a voice calling my brother-in-law came from behind me.

"I said don't call me brother-in-law during duty!"

The city gate order turned around and glared at his brother-in-law fiercely.

When I glared, I happened to see my brother-in-law holding the telescope with one hand and pointing straight to the west, "Brother-in-law, hurry up, look, is that our army?"

Um?

When the city gate ruler heard this, without saying a word, he grabbed the cold copper tube hanging around his neck and looked towards the north.

I saw a group of knights wearing fish scale armor walking in a straight shape on the pipe towards the West Chang'an Toll Station.

The city gate was so excited that he took two steps ahead. If my brother-in-law hadn't grabbed it, he would have walked down the city tower.

"Yes! It's our army!"

After seeing it clearly, the city gate said excitedly: "Either the right guard or the left guard, the word "Li" is written on the flag on it! Hurry up, go and report it! Forget it, I'll go by myself, you can watch here!"

The city gate was a little incoherent, but at least he thought of his brother-in-law's words, so he immediately changed his order.

In the telescope's vision, the dark army was unhappy and finally got off the toll station entrance of the official road.

Then, they stopped walking not far from the official road entrance and began to line up.

Soon, two knights left the team and rode towards the Golden Light Gate.

When they arrived, the soldier who was in charge of guarding the city gate on the city tower made his brother-in-law not return yet.

"We will return from escorting the prisoners and ask the brothers on the city tower to communicate with each other, and then say, "The Right Guard returns victoriously, and wait for His Majesty to review outside the city'!"

The voice from the downstairs came, and the brother-in-law was stunned for a moment before answering: "Brother downstairs, I... the head of the family has already gone to report it, and I would like to ask the army to come later."

"Thank you!"

Under the city tower, two right guard soldiers bowed and thanked each other and turned toward the main force.

At the same time, the reliance of the emperor in the palace to welcome the return of the victorious army has been prepared.

His Majesty Li Er turned over his horse and quickly galloped towards the direction of the Golden Light Gate with this wave of important officials of the court.

But what His Majesty Li Er couldn't see was that as soon as he left, a little girl rode a young horse with excitement on her face and followed her secretly.

If I saw this scene, I don’t know if the emperor would feel that his girl was stolen again.

......

Li Lizhi's excitement was destined to turn into loss, because there was no Ying Yangwei outside the city gate, nor the shadow of the young man he had longed for.

This forced her to walk around and turn back to the palace with her mouth puffed.

On the other side, His Majesty Li Er accepted Li Jing's order of surrender with a smile.

After completing a set of procedures, His Majesty Li Er said: "Senior Brother Yao, thank you for your hard work!"

“The responsibility is!”

Li Jing was very humble, "Your Majesty can't be like this."

"Hahaha!"

His Majesty Li Er smiled heartily, patted Li Jing on the shoulder and said, "It's so good! It's so good! Pharmacist, take me to see the gains of your battle."

"promise!"

Li Jing responded and took His Majesty Li Er to the direction of the prisoner.

In the cold wind, the iron generals strung together were already trembling with coldness.

His Majesty Li Er thought the other party was afraid when he looked at this scene. He pointed at the prisoners and laughed: "Look, these bastard hyenas on the grassland are afraid of us like quails when we go to Chang'an! I don't know where these hyenas got the confidence to invade our Tang Dynasty?"

Li Jing twitched his lips and said against his heart: "Your Majesty is right!"

Tang Jian really slapped his mouth and said in his heart: Your Majesty, he is trembling with coldness!

As for why I don’t say it clearly, there is one thing that is not afraid of that guy Li Er!

After all, it’s your own in-laws, and there are still prisoners here. You can’t lose face to your in-laws at this time, right?

"Your Majesty is right!"

The other ministers also took great care of His Majesty Li Er's little emotions and did not point them out.

Everyone knows the emperor's temper. If you lose face at this time, how many children's shoes will be waiting for you in the future?

“******!”

However, if all civil and military officials don’t say it, it doesn’t mean that no one says it. For example, Prince Tiele, who could understand the official words of the Tang Dynasty in the prison car, said with a look of contempt and said it very well.

"Brother Yao, is this the generous plan?"
