Li Yu had only one goal in this expedition to the Eastern Turks, and that was to find news of his brother Li Wang's parents!
According to Li Jing's guess, Empress Xiao was probably the only person in the world who knew who the jade pendant belonged to!
Because of this possibility, Li Yu was unwilling to travel thousands of miles to this place.
The purpose was to find Empress Xiao and ask about the jade pendant!
Now that he had captured the Turkic royal family alive, he knew that Empress Xiao had indeed brought Yang Zhengdao and the others with her and had been captured!
One could imagine the excitement in Li Yu's heart. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, he had to do his best!
In this way, he would not let down his brother's wish and his promise!
"Li Yu, the person you want to see is inside. After reading the letter to her family, her emotions have stabilized.”
When they arrived at the camp of the captives, Governor Liu personally led the soldiers to wait. When he saw Li Yu, he immediately spoke respectfully.
In the beginning, he had thought that Li Yu had relied on Li Jing's status to come to the Eastern Turks to gain merit.
At that time, he was quite disdainful and felt that the dignified Duke Wei was actually using nepotism. He was very unhappy.
Now, he was truly convinced and admired Li Yu to the point of prostrating himself on the ground. He was even extremely polite when he spoke.
Not only did Li Yu have a clear grasp of the battle situation, but he was even more unrestrained in the use of troops at the last minute!
Using one thousand soldiers to scare off five thousand soldiers, killing three thousand enemies and capturing the Turkic royal family!
He even seized all the resources and food that Jie Li had stored in Qikou!
What kind of great merit was this?
It was said that this was his first expedition!
Governor Liu could only use one word to describe this kind of talent.
Genius!
War God Li Jing had a successor, and the Great Tang would prosper!!!
"Thank you, Governor Liu. I'll go in then.”
"You're being polite, it's only right. In the future, Li Yu, if you have any orders, Liu Cong will not say anything and will definitely die for them!”
Governor Liu bowed respectfully to Li Yu.
"Governor Liu, you're too polite. In the army, we should be united in order to defeat the foreign races!”
Li Yu quickly held Governor Liu's hand and said,"
"I'll go in first. This matter…"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!”
Governor Liu patted his chest and promised.
Without the orders of the court or the commander-in-chief, it was not allowed in the army to make contact with captives in private.
Li Yu nodded and immediately opened the tent and walked in. There was an old lady sitting inside.
Even if time had left its mark on his face, one could still tell that this person had been magnificent in the past.
Xiao Meiniang was a woman who was famous in the history books of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"You are the one who wants to see bengong?"
Empress Xiao was surprised to see Li Yu.
She had thought that it would be some kind of general, but who knew that it would be such a nameless brat.
However, she did not dare to underestimate him.
She had seen it on the battlefield today. It was this man who had charged into the enemy camp, knocked Princess Yicheng out with one blow, and captured Dieluo Shi alive.
"Not bad."
Li Yu sat down opposite him. He was not good with words and had no experience in negotiating with others, so he went straight to the point.
"I'm here to ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll guarantee your and Yang Zhengdao's lives!”
Yang Zhengdao was the grandson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the last descendant of the Great Sui Dynasty. He was Empress Xiao's weakness.
"Hehe, you're just a general, how dare you kill bengong and Zhengdao?”
Empress Xiao sneered. Li Yu didn't answer but shouted,
"Men, bring me the saber!"
Suddenly, a soldier came in with a large knife, placed it beside Li Yu, and turned to leave.
"You…"
Empress Xiao was shocked. Li Yu's stance was very clear. If he wanted to kill her, the surrounding soldiers would not stop him!
"My patience is limited. You only have one chance. Otherwise, you will see Yang Zhengdao's corpse!”
Li Yu glared at Empress Xiao.
"Good, good…Anyway, it's all in the hands of the Tang army.”
Empress Xiao's face was filled with sorrow as she gritted her teeth and shouted,""What do you want to ask? If this Queen knows, she will definitely tell you!”
"Phew…"
Li Yu took out the jade pendant from his pocket and handed it over.
"I heard that this jade pendant was forged by the former emperor of the Sui Dynasty. As the former empress of the Sui Dynasty, do you know who it was given to?”
" Huh?!"
Empress Xiao's pupils contracted when she saw this. She suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, and her heart was shaken.
How could she not know?
This jade pendant was the jade pendant that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had given to Li Shimin!
Back then, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was trapped in Yanmen Pass and almost died. Li Shimin, who was only eighteen years old, led the army to rescue him and came up with a plan to solve the situation.
Yang Guang was overjoyed. Although he didn't reward him, he gave the jade pendant to Li Shimin as a reward for protecting the king.
At that time, Empress Xiao also knew about this matter and heard Yang Guang praise Li Yuan for having such a son and having a successor.
"You really recognize this jade pendant?”
Li Yu asked excitedly when he saw Empress Xiao's enlightened gaze.
"That's right, BenGong naturally knows."
Empress Xiao nodded, then looked at Li Yu meaningfully and said,"You want to find the owner of the jade pendant?"
"Yes! Please tell me who you belong to, I will guarantee your and Yang Zhengdao's safety!”Li Yu clenched his fists excitedly.
"May I know your name?"
Empress Xiao asked in return. Li Yu was stunned and immediately said,"Your surname is Li."
"Who are your parents?" Empress Xiao asked again.
Li Yu frowned and slammed the table with a heavy expression.""Don't try to wear down my patience!"
"Hehehe…"
Empress Xiao actually laughed, and a look of understanding appeared in her eyes. She looked at Li Yu and said,"
The person you are looking for is in Chang 'an!"
"Chang 'an Fortress? How did you know that he was in Chang 'an?"
Li Yu's pupils contracted. Empress Xiao said with a mocking smile,"
"Not only do I know that he is in Chang 'an, but I also know that he is still alive!”
"Phew…"
Li Yu suddenly stood up and looked at Empress Xiao, his pupils trembling slightly.
A noble surnamed Li who was still alive in Chang 'an?!!
This…
"Who exactly is it!"
Li Yu spoke in a deep voice. Empress Xiao said,
"You have to ensure the safety of BenGong and Zheng Dao. When we return to the Central Plains and settle down, BenGong will tell you everything!”
"Phew!"
Li Yu suddenly drew his saber and pointed it at Empress Xiao's neck. The latter was not afraid and said,"
"BenGong should have died long ago. You can't scare BenGong, but if you kill BenGong, you will never get the truth!”
"As long as you settle down the political affairs and ensure your safety, I swear to the heavens that I won't hide anything from you!”
"I'm just a pawn. How do you know I can settle you down?”
Li Yu spoke in a deep voice. Empress Xiao smiled and said,
"Just the capture of the Turkic royal family is enough to earn you great merit in today's battle. Moreover, you can definitely do it!”
"Phew…"
Li Yu withdrew his saber and looked at Empress Xiao."
"If you dare to hide anything, I will make Yang Zhengdao suffer a fate worse than death.”
After saying that, Li Yu turned around and left.
He had some guesses in his heart, but he still found it hard to believe.
He also needed time to investigate and confirm this truth. Empress Xiao's words alone might not be true!
