In Chang 'an Fortress.
A piece of news shocked the entire Chang 'an. The King of Shu, Li Ke, had been assassinated on his way to the throne, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
"Bastard!"
In Taiji Palace, Li Er's cold gaze swept across his two sons. The accident of his third son was definitely related to these two sons.
"Crown Prince, who do you think did this?”Li Er said coldly.
Li Chengqian's expression changed. He didn't expect his father to directly ask him. He couldn't help but laugh dryly."Father, your son is far away in Chang 'an and doesn't understand the situation.”
"However, Third Brother's incident in Yizhou, your son feels that this matter might be related to Tuyuhun. I heard that they are very active now.”
"Oh, is that so?"
Li Er's eyes flashed as he sneered,""The Crown Prince has indeed improved. In order to make the Crown Prince study hard, he is not allowed to leave the Eastern Palace for three months!”
He was not a fool!
The Great Pond was no longer what it used to be, and not just anyone dared to provoke it.
When Concubine Yang heard the news last night, she fainted and begged Li Ernian to save her son. This made Li Ernian even more miserable.
In fact, he was also very optimistic about Li Ke, but in the end, he had no choice but to compromise and seal Li Ke out. He did not expect that something would happen in the end.
The officials 'expressions changed. How was this a reward? This was clearly imprisoning the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
Could it be that this incident of the King of Shu was related to the Crown Prince?
Dugu Wuji's face twitched as he sighed and walked out. He said seriously,""Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to find His Highness the King of Shu. Otherwise, the King of Shu will be in danger!”
Li Er glanced at Dugu Wuji and said in a deep voice,""The auxiliary engine is very thoughtful!"
"Since that's the case, let Yuchi Jingde make a trip on my behalf and let him be the military advisor of the Yizhou provinces. He will be the governor of Yizhou and be in charge of finding the King of Shu! If they couldn't find him, all the officials in Yizhou would be killed!”
As soon as these words were said, the ministers immediately turned pale with fright. This could be said to be a massacre.
The Duke of Wei couldn't help but stand out and stop him,""Your Majesty, you must not do this. This is going to be a bloodbath. How innocent are the officials of Yizhou?”
Bang!
Before he could get up, Li Eryi threw his inkstone at him. He said angrily,"The King of Shu was assassinated in my territory. You tell me that they are innocent. What are your intentions? Where is my dignity?"
The Duke of Wei was bleeding profusely and was about to say something when Duke Du kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Emperor, Lord Wei Gong caught a cold yesterday, so his mind is not clear.”Duke Du pleaded.
"Humph!"
Li Er snorted coldly and gave Old Master Du face. He directly flicked his sleeves and left. Before he left, he even glared fiercely at Li Chengqian!
Seeing this scene, the officials could not help but sigh. It seemed that the pond was going to be in chaos for a while.
Duke Du looked at the Duke of Wei and smiled bitterly.""Lord Duke of Wei, why are you doing this? The emperor is in a rage right now. If you bump into him,"
He could tell with discerning eyes that this matter was probably related to Li Chengqian.
However, President Li Er couldn't punish the Crown Prince without evidence, right? Therefore, he really couldn't vent his anger.
If not for Duke Du stopping him, he would have killed Duke Wei in a fit of rage.
The Duke of Wei covered his wound and sighed,""It wasn't easy to recover some of the weather. The pond can't be messy anymore.”
However, today's matter had started to ferment!
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace and was forbidden to enter and exit. Dugu Wuji's residence was also monitored by hundreds of cavalry.
Li Tai, the King of Wei, was warned by Li Er not to cause any more trouble.
At the same time, the Duke of E, Yuchi Jingde, rushed to Yizhou with his talisman and was in charge of finding the King of Shu!
The pond instantly became chaotic. Everyone knew that a new round of the Crown Prince competition had begun, and they couldn't help but secretly worry.
......
Li Ke, who was far away at the border of Rongzhou, naturally didn't know about this. He was doing his best to develop his own strength.
Ever since the capture of these prisoners in Wollonggang, the reclamation work had been carried out very smoothly. Under the pressure of the Blazing Flame Army, these captives had become the best farmers, frantically excavating the wasteland.
This directly increased Li Ke's farmland to more than 70 mu. All the fields were planted with rice and wheat. Once the harvest was good, it could completely satisfy the food of his troops.
After seeing that he had accumulated more than 1,000 gold coins, Li Ke couldn't help but smile. It was time to kill another wave of soldiers.
In order to save food, he had already endured for two days without dropping any weapons. After all, once the weapons dropped, he would have to eat.
Li Xing suddenly walked in.
"My lord, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it? Bring it over!"
After a while, five people walked in. These five tall and burly men emitted a murderous aura. Clearly, they were existences who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Boss, please. We are from Pomelo Mountain and have come to form an alliance with you.”One of the scarred men walked out and said casually.
Li Ke's lips curled into a cold smile as he said disdainfully,"Alliance? Why should we ally with you?”
From the looks of it, these guys were not here to form an alliance. They were clearly here to inquire about the actual situation. Unfortunately, he had found the wrong person.
"Pardon me for being blunt, but with just the number of people you have, you're not enough. If you ally with us, you'll be able to stand firm.”Scarface said with contempt.
Li Ke's eyes flashed with coldness as he smiled and said,""Then if we form an alliance, who will be the boss?”
"Of course it's our boss. What's the use of so few of you? Why don't you join us?”
"Are you sure you can take us down?" A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Li Ke's mouth. It seemed that these guys were used to being arrogant.
"So what if I've got you guys?"
Scarface couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He said disdainfully,"I originally thought that you guys had some great background. I didn't expect that you were actually a young kid. I'm really dying of laughter.”
"How dare you look down on my lord. You should be beheaded!”
Li Xing was instantly enraged. He could feel the contempt on this guy's face.
He actually dared to look down on his lord. He was simply courting death. In his heart, this person was already dead.
However, without Li Ke's order, he did not dare to make a move.
Scarface became even more arrogant when he saw this. He smiled and said,"Let me tell you the truth. As long as you dare to touch us, our five hundred people in Pomelo Mountain can completely wash your place in blood.”
At this moment, Li Ke suddenly laughed.
"You actually have 500 people.”
