The battle at Weishui River was a complete victory, with countless casualties. Blood dyed half of the Weishui River red, while piles of corpses were piled on the riverside.
The Turkic tent was burned to the ground, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky outside Chang 'an City.
Standing by the bank of Weishui River, Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. He smiled in relief and mounted his horse again before turning to leave."Return to the palace!"
"Yes, sir!"
With that order, they marched back to Chang 'an. Zhao Zilong and Li Yuanba, who were covered in blood, each led thousands of Imperial Army soldiers with torches.
Li Jing led ten thousand soldiers in pursuit of the remaining Turkic forces, but even so, there were still several tens of thousands of soldiers. Unfortunately, without their leader, they were like a motley crew, their morale completely scattered as they fled for their lives.
At this moment.
It was close to 10 o'clock at night, but Chang 'an City was unusually lively without the curfew. The commercial markets of the eastern and western cities had now expanded to other markets.
After entering the city, the large army behind them quickly turned into Golden Guards and returned to their homes to begin tonight's patrol.
The Thousand Houses on both sides of Vermilion Bird Street were no longer as angry as before. The number of people walking on the streets had increased, but at the same time, it also brought a huge hidden danger to public security.
Li Xuan had witnessed everything along the way and understood it deeply. Now was clearly not the time to ask about this. He only hoped that Liu Zhenghui's capital government would be established as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty…"
When they were almost at the palace gate, Xue Wanche came over with a saber at his waist. He cupped his fists and knelt,"This general has already brought Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui here to await Your Majesty's punishment!”
"Where is he?"
Li Xuan reined in his reins and stopped in his tracks.
"Bring him up!"
Xue Wanche shouted, and in front of the dark Taiji Palace, more than ten Imperial Army soldiers escorted Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were in a sorry state, and kicked them to the ground."Kneel down!"
"Li Jiancheng, do you really think you can sit still in this world just because you killed us?”
Du Ruhui snorted coldly as he was forcefully detained. He flicked the messy hair on his forehead and said angrily,"This world belongs to the King of Qin, and the Great Tang also belongs to the King of Qin. If you kill us, more people will stand up. This old man's death is not worth regretting, but I'll give you a piece of advice. An emperor who kills people without mercy never has a good ending.”
"Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui defected and colluded with the Turks in an attempt to join forces with the King of Qin to attack the Great Tang. This is a great crime of treason, and if I keep you alive, I'll be leaving a great disaster for myself.”
Li Xuan looked at them like two childish children and sneered.""Men, chop off their heads and hang them in front of Taiji Palace. Let the officials see them tomorrow. In addition, all the men in Fang Mansion and Du Mansion were killed without mercy, and the womenfolk were reduced to official prostitutes or sent to Lingnan!”
"Understood!"
Just as Xue Wanche hugged him, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's faces turned ashen. They looked at each other in shock and pounced at Li Xuan like crazy."Your Majesty…Your Majesty, this old man was wrong. This old man would rather die a hundred times than to kill the family members of your residence…Your Majesty…"
The palace doors opened as Li Xuan slammed his legs on his horse and entered the palace, completely ignoring the shouts of the two people behind him.
Fang Xuanling and Xue Wanche had gone completely mad. They didn't care about their image and were about to jump to the Taiji Palace. Seeing this, Xue Wanche reacted quickly. He pulled out his knife and chopped off their heads.
The soldier beside him trembled in fear. However, Xue Wanche swiftly sheathed his sword,""Hang the heads of these two old thieves in front of the palace gates as a warning to others!”
"Understood!"
With the two old fellows completely dead, Li Xuan finally felt at ease. Chang 'an City's latent danger, which had been in turmoil for more than half a month, was resolved. The Turkic army had also become a stray dog.
When he arrived in front of the bedroom, he dismounted and the eunuchs surrounding him tidied up Li Xuan's horse.
"Your Majesty, are you still going to the royal study to review the memorials today? This old servant has already held the lamp for Your Majesty!" The eunuch said flatteringly.
"Forget it!"
Li Xuan shook his head and said tiredly,""All of you should rest early.”
"Yes…"
He entered the bedroom and pushed open the creaking door. The lights inside were dim as Li Xuan wiped his face with a wet towel. The palace maids who surrounded him undressed him before leaving with the basin.
He lifted the curtain in front of him and saw a figure lying on the bed. He had not spoken since he came in?
"Looks like my empress is asleep?”
After these days of training, Zheng Guanyin's thinking had become much more avant-garde. She would often have some fun with Li Xuan, and the two of them had a lot of fun.
Li Xuan also believed that Zheng Guanyin was probably lying in bed and staring at him. With a wicked smile, he slowly moved to the window and pulled open the brocade blanket.
There was indeed a naked woman under the blanket, but it was not Zheng Guanyin, but…
"Consort Qi? You…"
Li Xuan was dumbfounded because the woman in front of him was Li Yuanji's wife, Yang Shi. She seemed to be frightened as well as she hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover herself. With a cowardly expression, she looked at Li Xuan in trepidation."Your…Your Majesty…"
"You…Why are you here?”Li Xuan was rendered speechless. What was this?
"It was…it was elder sister who asked ChenQie to serve His Majesty.”
Consort Yang's face was flushed red. She lowered her head and was extremely shy. Her slender jade-white body was exposed as she said submissively,"Your Majesty, don't…don't you dislike me?”
"No…that's not the case!"
Li Xuan was a little embarrassed. D * mn, was Zheng Guanyin already helping him expand his harem? He sat down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He stroked Consort Qi's black hair and smiled bitterly,""It's just that I'm afraid you'll be wronged. Why bother?”
