There was an uproar in the hall.
Everyone's gaze once again gathered on the young prince.
Twenty steps away, after shooting Li Yuanji blindfolded, how could such archery not shock everyone?
"Your Highness…"
Yue Fei opened his mouth slightly, his eyes surging with shock. He was actually speechless.
He had once witnessed Li Xuanlie's shocking arrow at the gates of Rome.
He thought that was the peak of Li Xuanlie's archery.
At this moment, Yue Fei suddenly realized that the arrow from that day was not worth mentioning compared to the one in front of him.
Li Xuanlie took off his black veil and calmly glanced at Li Yuanji's corpse. There was no change in his expression.
When he turned around and faced Li Xiu Ning, he saw a shocked and absent-minded face.
His royal sister, the person he loved, obviously didn't expect him to have such incredible shooting skills.
"Xiu Ning, do you blame me?"
Li Xuanlie stared into her eyes and asked.
Li Xiu Ning came back to her senses and let out a regretful sigh, but there was no hint of complaint in it.
"It was he who did not care about family ties and tried to harm you first. He can only say that he brought this upon himself.”
Li Xiu Ning was ultimately a woman who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.
Li Xuanlie nodded slightly and waved his hand."Conceal King Qi's body and bring it back to the Eastern Capital."”
The Black Flag Army rested at Yang Pass for a day. The next day, Li Xuanlie set off on his journey back to Luoyang.
…
At the end of autumn, Luoyang was the eastern capital.
On this day, Luoyang City was filled with people.
The citizens of the Great Tang flooded the streets to catch a glimpse of King Reliance.
Although Li Xuanlie was on an expedition to the west, the people of Luoyang were constantly paying attention to his every move.
For the past three years, he had sent the spoils of the Western Expedition back to Luoyang, allowing the people of the Great Tang to enjoy the benefits of conquering the West.
Amongst them, the most popular in Luoyang was the "foreign slaves".
On his way to the west, every time he encountered a city that refused to surrender, he would capture all the women of the officials in the city and make them slaves.
Most of these female slaves were given to meritorious soldiers, while some were sent back to the Great Tang.
Because these female slaves came from the West, the officials and people of the Tang Empire named them " foreign slaves."
Soon, raising foreign slaves became popular in Luoyang.
Whether it was a high official or a rich merchant, it would be beneath their status if they did not raise a few foreign slaves.
Now, the legendary King Reliance had brought with him the miraculous feat of pacifying Rome, countless treasures of the West, and thousands of foreign slaves to the Tang Dynasty. How could the people of Luoyang be excited?
It was noon.
Finally, the young prince, who was dressed in black armor and looked like a god, slowly rode into Luoyang.
The entire city was in an uproar.
"I finally get to see that King Reliance. He's truly handsome and mighty.”
"I heard that King Reliance has returned to the Tang Empire because His Majesty intends to make him the Crown Prince!”
"King Reliance is the Son of Heaven's adopted son. How can he be made Crown Prince?”
"So what if he's an adopted son? King Reliance has helped the Great Tang expand its territory and performed great feats. It's only right and proper for him to be the Crown Prince.”
"King Reliance Thousand Years!"
"Welcome, King Reliance!"
On both sides of the street, the people of Luoyang began to discuss, fighting to squeeze in and take a look at Li Xuanlie.
"San Lang, now you know how much the people support you.”
Li Xiu Ning smiled as she looked at Li Xuanlie, a trace of pride flashing in her eyes.
It was a pride that came from the bottom of his heart when he saw the person he loved being so welcomed by the people of the Great Tang.
Li Xuanlie was indifferent and calm, completely ignoring the noise in his ears.
His thoughts had already flown to the royal court.
He had shot and killed Li Yuanji. Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, when he met the emperor later, it would definitely shock the court.
A storm was waiting for him.
The siblings crossed the Imperial Street and stepped into the palace city under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Inside Hanyuan Palace.
All the civil and military officials gathered.
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, was restless and looked out of the hall from time to time.
"King Reliance has arrived ~~"
The eunuch's loud singing sounded.
All the civil and military officials were in high spirits.
Li Yuan's eyes widened as he stared at the palace door expectantly.
Finally, that familiar figure stepped into the hall and entered his sight.
"Your son, Xuan Lie, greets father!"
Li Xuanlie stepped into the hall and clasped his hands at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was overjoyed. He jumped up and stumbled down the jade steps to help his son up.
"Xuan Lie, oh Xuan Lie, it's been three years, you're finally back.”
Li Yuan was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He looked up and down at Li Xuanlie, not hiding his deep fatherly love.
"Imperial Father, your hair has turned much whiter.”
Li Xuanlie looked at the silver hair on Li Yuan's temples and felt a little sad.
Three years ago, Li Yuan was still in the prime of his life with a head full of black hair.
Now that they met again, it was as if their hair had turned white overnight and they had aged a lot.
Li Yuan could only shake his head and sigh. He subconsciously glanced at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
As a father, seeing his two biological sons fighting openly and secretly, like fire and water, but he was helpless, under this kind of torment, how could he not turn white?
Li Xuanlie felt Li Yuan's distress, and his sharp eyes glanced at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
That gaze made Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming feel as if they were in an ice hole, and they shivered.
