Chapter 285

Three days later.

Li Er once again led a group of people on an expedition!

Li Chengqian and Zhangsun Wuji held a grand farewell ceremony.

All the people of Chang'an City came to the city gate to see Li Er off.

The scene was grand and the atmosphere was lively.

Li Er was dressed in armor, riding a warhorse, looking heroic and spirited, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

He liked the feeling of being worshipped by the masses.

"Cheng'er, Wuji, I leave Chang'an City to you."

Whose son is so excellent? (Please subscribe!)

Looking at Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chengqian who were seeing him off, Li Er said earnestly.

No matter how much Zhangsun Wuji messed around, and no matter how stupid Li Chengqian was, these two were after all the people Li Er trusted most.

At the time of parting.

Li Er still decided to reconcile with them.

Let the matter of holding a funeral on Vermilion Bird Street and Li Chengqian sending that novel all vanish into thin air!

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your health."

Zhangsun Wuji pretended to be moved, even wiping away tears.

"Father..."

Li Chengqian's lips moved, seemingly wanting to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

He knew in his heart.

Perhaps this was the last time father and son would meet, or perhaps the last time they would be on good terms.

No one knew what would happen next.

Since he had chosen this path of no return, he could only bite the bullet and keep going.

"Hahaha, why worry so much? I have fought for many years, what scene have I not seen? What is wrong with you two today? Why make it seem like I won't be coming back! Come, be happy!"

Looking at the expressions of Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chengqian, Li Er laughed heartily.

He thought these two were genuinely worried and reluctant to part with him.

But who could have thought.

In the near future, Li Er would be stabbed in the back by these two people he trusted most.

It would take a narrow escape from death to finally return to Chang'an.

"Pass on my order, depart!"

Li Er waved his hand and set off under the gaze of everyone.

Li Chengqian and Zhangsun Wuji stood quietly at the city gate.

After everyone had passed, the two began to speak slowly.

"Your Highness, how are things prepared on Hou Junji's side?"

"Uncle, don't worry! All nine gates of Chang'an City have been replaced with Hou Junji's subordinates."

"Very good, in this way, we can control the capital without anyone knowing. Next, let's wait quietly for the Emperor's movements on the front line, and then we will act when the opportunity arises!"

"Good!"

A few days later.

Great Qin, outside Jiannan Circuit.

"Finally here!"

Li Er looked at Jiannan Circuit not far away, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart.

The last time he came here, Jiannan Circuit still belonged to Great Tang.

And now.

This land had been forcibly taken away by Qin Mu.

Thinking of this, Li Er felt a pang of heartache.

Ceding the land of Great Tang was as painful as cutting his own flesh!

"Your Majesty, the army led by General Cheng will take another half a month to arrive."

"If discovered by Great Qin, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

We only have 3,000 Black Armored Cavalry, isn't it a bit too risky to set up camp here?

Fang Xuanling said with concern.

He couldn't understand what Li Er was thinking.

Traveling and sightseeing along the way, it didn't look like an expedition at all.

Arrived at the destination.

Suddenly decided to set up camp near Jiannan Circuit.

It was a pure act of sending one's head to the enemy!

"Xuanling, do you really think I want to fight Great Qin to the death?" Li Er smiled meaningfully, finally revealing his true colors.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

Fang Xuanling was somewhat confused.

War was declared, troops were raised.

Just one step away, and you're pulling up your pants and leaving?

Are you kidding me!

"Sigh! How can you not understand my thoughts? Great Tang is currently at a critical moment of reform, and it must not be damaged. You have also seen the combat effectiveness of Great Qin; even with Old Cheng's 200,000 troops, it wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth."

"This was a war with no victory in sight, why insist on fighting? Wouldn't that just increase casualties in vain?"

Li Er sighed, his expression somewhat helpless, and somewhat unwilling.

Of course he was unwilling!

Think back to the past.

The famous Prince of Qin, Li Er, was the brightest star on the battlefield.

How many heroes who roamed the world back then were defeated by his hands.

How high-spirited was that?

And now?

The tides have turned!

He himself had become like the defeated opponents of the past.

"Sigh! How could your humble servant not understand?"
