……
Five days after the battle in Youzhou City, Yuchi Gong led 30,000 cavalrymen to join Li Er.
Li Er immediately issued an order to send troops to Youzhou City. At this moment, a winged cavalry arrived.
"Who is that?" Li Er looked at the person on the warhorse and asked.
Qin Qiong looked up and was suddenly shocked." Your Majesty, it seems to be my son, Qin Huaiyu."”
"Nephew Huaiyu? What is he doing here?" Li Er waved his hand in confusion." Call him over."”
"Yes." Qin Qiong cupped his fists and greeted Qin Huaiyu. Not long after, the father and son duo returned.
"Your humble subject Qin Huaiyu greets Your Majesty." Qin Huaiyu walked in front of Li Er and cupped his fists.
"Rise, Huaiyu. Why are you here?”Li Er asked.
Qin Huaiyu stood up, a hint of excitement on his face." Your Majesty, you've really escaped. The heavens have truly blessed our Great Tang!”
"Just now, my father said that you had escaped. I didn't believe it. Your Majesty, did Princess Changle send troops to save you?”
"Changle?" Li Eryi was stunned." No, I've never seen Zhi 'er. What do you mean?”
"What?" Qin Huaiyu said in surprise," Isn't it the reinforcements that Princess Changle sent over?”
"Then where is Princess Chang Le?"
I was trapped for half a month and just got out. How could I know where my hostage is?
"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!”Li Er asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, ten days ago, Empress Zhangsun summoned Marquis Pingyang into the palace to discuss the matter of sending troops to rescue Your Majesty," Qin Huaiyu hurriedly replied.”
"After Marquis Ping Yang left, Princess Chang Le disappeared. She only left behind a letter saying that she would follow Marquis Ping Yang to mobilize troops to rescue His Majesty. She also took away the Golden Dragon Token Arrow that you gave her.”
"Empress Zhangsun received the news and discussed with Lord Zhangsun. In the end, she concluded that Princess Changle was likely to go to Daizhou to mobilize troops. She ordered me to hurry to Daizhou and find Princess Changle.”
"Your Majesty, have you really not seen Princess Chang Le?”
When Li Eryi heard this, he immediately became anxious." I've never seen Zhi 'er at all. I've never even heard of her!”
"What are you officials who stayed behind to guard the palace doing? How dare you lose Princess Chang Le?”
Li Lizhi was Li Er's most beloved daughter. When he heard that Li Lizhi had disappeared, he panicked.
"This subject is guilty!" Qin Huaiyu saw that Li Er was angry and hurriedly bowed in fear." Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps you and Princess Changle have missed each other. Perhaps Princess Changle has already arrived in Dai Province."”
"Yes, yes, Yuchi Gong!" Li Er turned to look at Yuchi Gong and asked anxiously,""When you were in Dai Province, did you hear the news that Princess Chang Le went to mobilize troops?”
" Your Majesty, I haven't heard of it," Yuchi Gong hurriedly replied." Please wait for me to ask the soldiers of Daizhou."”
With that, Yuchi Gong left with cupped fists and asked the soldiers of Dai Province. Soon, he returned.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Dai Province have never heard any news about Princess Chang Le. Princess Chang Le should not have been to Dai Province!”
"You've never been to Dai Province? What does this mean? Did my Princess Changle disappear into thin air?”Li Er shouted angrily.
Qin Qiong and the others lowered their heads and did not dare to respond. They all knew how important Li Lizhi was to Li Er. If Li Lizhi was lost, Li Er would definitely be furious.
Only Xu Maogong revealed a doubtful expression. He pondered for a few seconds and went forward to say,"Your Majesty, may I know where Princess Chang Le is?”
"Minister Xu knows? Tell me, where is Zhi 'er?" Li Er hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Princess Chang Le shouldn't be in danger.”Xu Maogong first comforted Li Er and then said,"Just now, Nephew Qin said that Princess Changle followed Marquis Ping Yang.”
"Then she should be together with Marquis Ping Yang. Since Marquis Ping Yang is not in danger, then Princess Chang Le should not be in danger either.”
"Yes, that makes sense. Continue.”Li Er nodded repeatedly.
Xu Maogong hesitated for a moment before saying,"Your Majesty, since Marquis Ping Yang met the Mountain Thieves of Mount Peak Dragon, is Princess Chang Le also at Mount Peak Dragon?”
Actually, Xu Maogong had a bold guess in his heart. He had been wondering who the father-in-law and brother-in-law the Mountain Bandits of Mount Peak Dragon were talking about was.
Li Xiu Ning admitted that she was married to Lin Chen. The brother-in-law was naturally Li Er, but what about his father-in-law?
Now that Li Lizhi had gone missing and was once with Li Xiu Ning, could she have been captured by the mountain bandits of Mount Peak Dragon and taken in as Lin Chen's wife?
Xu Maogong's guess wasn't completely baseless. It wasn't the first time he had heard the Mountain Bandits of Mount Peak Dragon address Li Xiuning as Eldest Madam.
Since there was First Madam, then there was Second Madam!
This Second Mistress was very likely to be Princess Changle.
Although Xu Maogong guessed so, he did not dare to say it out loud. If Li Er knew that his sister and daughter were married to the same bandit, he would be furious!
"Minister Xu is right!" Li Er's eyes lit up, and then he said angrily,"How dare you, bandits, offend Marquis Ping Yang and detain Princess Chang Le. If I don't flatten Mount Peak Dragon, where will the face of the Great Tang Imperial Family go?”
"Pass down my order. We will take Youzhou first, at Pingfeng Longshan!”
"Report!"
At this moment, another winged cavalry warrior came.
"Your Majesty, the scouts have reported that the crisis in Youzhou has been resolved and the Turks have been defeated!”
"What is it? The Turks were defeated?" Li Eryi was shocked." What happened?”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Marquis Pingyang led ten thousand troops to rescue Youzhou City and defeated the Turks. The Turkic Khan Jie Li only led a few thousand defeated soldiers back to the Turks!”
"Haha, Marquis Pingyang is truly heroic, using only ten thousand elite soldiers to defeat the Turks. As expected of our Great Tang's Heaven Raising Bai Yuzhu!”Li Er laughed loudly.
Xu Maogong, Qin Qiong, and the others looked at each other. They knew very well that the one who won this battle shouldn't be Li Xiu Ning, but Li Xiu Ning's mysterious husband.
After Li Er was overjoyed, he thought,'Now that Youzhou City is out of danger, I can directly send troops to Mount Fenglong.'
The princess of the Great Tang will never marry a bandit!
Thinking of this, Li Er immediately ordered," Send my order, the troops will be dispatched to Dragon Mountain Peak!”
When Xu Maogong heard this, he sighed in his heart. It seemed that this battle was inevitable.
"Bull nose." At this time, Cheng Yaojin came to Xu Maogong's side and whispered,""Bull nose, were you hiding something from His Majesty just now?”
"Eh?" Xu Maogong was stunned for a moment before he smiled." Don't spout nonsense, Brother Cheng. How would I dare to hide it from His Majesty? Hiding it from His Majesty is the crime of deceiving the sovereign."”
"Hehe, Bull Nose, you can fool others, but can you fool me?”Cheng Yaojin grinned." I saw you stutter just now and knew that you were hiding something from His Majesty.”
"Tell me, have you guessed who that father-in-law and brother-in-law are?”
When Xu Maogong heard this, he was so scared that he quickly covered Cheng Yaojin's mouth. Cheng Yaojin's small eyes narrowed and flashed.
Haha, I guessed right. His Majesty is that father-in-law and brother-in-law!
