"What does Commander Li hope I can do?"

Perhaps because of the age of people, Yang Pei was particularly stubborn. He was not grateful for Li Zhen's advice to him to avoid the edge. In the lobby of the state yamen, Yang Pei raised his face without hesitation, "I am the governor of a state. How can you ask me to give in? Should I retire with my seal or leave my official position and flee? If Lai Junchen wants to take revenge, he will do whatever he wants. I'll wait here to see what he can do to me."

Although Li Zhen was reluctant to persuade Yang Pei, he needed to make a gesture to Li Xian or Shangguan Wan'er. He had tried his best, but Yang Pei refused to accept it.

Li Zhen was not upset and smiled again, "I can understand the difficulties of governor Yang, and I don't want to persuade governor Yang to leave, but I think governor Yang should prevent problems before they happen. For example, destroy some sensitive letters and documents as soon as possible, and some witness evidence must be dealt with as soon as possible. In short, all the adverse effects on him must be eliminated. Does governor Yang think my suggestion is difficult to accept?"

"I can certainly accept this suggestion by Commander Li. In fact, I will do this too. However, I suggest that Commander Li should discuss with His Highness Luling King first and see what his attitude is?"

Yang Pei’s implication is that he hopes that Li Zhen will not care about his nostalgia. If it is for the rise of the Tang Dynasty, he can go to Luling King Li Xian. Of course, Li Zhen heard his hint, so he stood up and bowed and smiled: “Using the official connections of governor Yang for decades, it is no problem to deal with a small Lai Junchen. It seems that I was too worried and said goodbye.”

"I will leave soon, and I will see you off soon." Yang Pei didn't even raise his eyelids and allowed Li Zhen to say goodbye.

After walking out of the gate of the state yamen, Di Yan immediately came up to meet him, "What did he say?"

"If I said I was actually driven out, do you believe it?"

Di Yan was stunned, "His he drove you out?"

"Absolutely let me ignore him."

Di Yan also became angry, "How could he do this? Others kindly reminded him that even if he doesn't accept it, he should listen humbly. How could he treat guests like this? No, I want to find him."

Di Yan turned around and wanted to enter the state yamen. Li Zhen grabbed her arm and shook her head, "A Yan, forget it."

"But-" Di Yan's eyes were full of worry, "If something happened to him, my father would be very sad. After all, after so many years of friendship, my father would blame me.

"He will come and ask me, but not now."

"What should we do now?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Since the matter in Fangzhou has come to an end, I plan to return to Beijing to report my work first. In short, we did not find the incident in the report letter.

Di Yan nodded silently, "I'll go back with you."

At this moment, a carriage rushed towards this side, stopped in front of Li Zhen, the curtain was opened, revealing Li Chongrun's broad face. He said anxiously: "General Li, my father had just received the decree of the emperor and asked him to return to Beijing immediately."

The King of Luling was temporarily recalled to the capital, and there was no reason, nor was it a New Year's Festival. Moreover, this was the first time he was called to the capital in eleven years since he was demoted. This made Li Zhen feel a bad feeling. Could it be that something happened in the capital? What evidence did Wu Sansi find in the capital?

But at this time Li Zhen had no time to think about it. He nodded to Li Chongrun and said, "Since that's the case, we will follow us and guard the prince into Beijing."

"Old Li, you said that Lai Junchen left Fangling overnight. Has he already received the news that King Luling was recalled to Beijing?"

Li Zhen slowed down his horse speed. In fact, he was also thinking about this. Before, he didn't know why Lai Junchen suddenly stopped investigating the case and left overnight. He could only think like Di Yan, and speculated that Lai Junchen used the tactic of trying to get.

But now that he has received the news that King Luling has entered Beijing, it is easy to understand Lai Junchen's motive, and he should have also entered Beijing.

"It should be true" Li Zhen smiled bitterly, and he began to feel a little passive.

Li Zhen returned to Baishui Town. As soon as he entered the temporary garrison gate, Zhao Qiuniang came up and whispered: "I received an emergency pigeon letter from Shangguan Sheren."

Li Zhen nodded silently. Shangguan Wan'er sent a quick message at this time. He was not surprised at all. He took the Gexin and walked quickly towards the inner hall. Zhao Qiuniang was puzzled and pulled Di Yan and asked in a low voice: "Little Junior Sister, what's wrong with him?"

Di Yan curled his lips, "King Luling was recalled to Beijing, and Lai Junchen rushed back overnight, so he knew he should go back."

"Oh, so that's it. I said, how could Shangguan Sheren send a message back with an emergency pigeon?"

At this time, Li Zhen walked over quickly and said to Zhao Qiuniang: "Immediately notify all brothers to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Beijing."

"Does Lu Jin and the others want to go back too?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "They continue to stay in Fangzhou, and we escort King Luling back to Beijing."

Even King Luling Li Xian himself did not expect that this time he was recalled to Beijing. Although no one told him the reason for entering Beijing, he vaguely felt that this entry into Beijing must be related to the recent incident he was investigated, and it would not be a good thing, which made King Luling worried.

Despite his worries, Li Xian did not dare to disobey the imperial edict. The imperial edict was made very clear and he immediately set off. He and Princess Wei immediately packed up their luggage and prepared to go on the road.

Princess Wei Lian has seemed quite low-key these days. She is a smart person. She knows that since she gives power to Li Zhen, she must remain silent and never interfere anymore. Only in this way can the Wei brothers obediently follow Li Zhen's arrangements and avoid the risk of being involved in the crisis.

Although the crisis of the Wei family generals was alleviated by Li Zhen's decisive evacuation order, the crisis of the Xingtang Association quietly surfaced. Wei Lian vaguely heard about the Xingtang Association last year, and for this reason she forced her husband twice. Although Li Xian firmly denied the matter twice, Wei Lian always felt like a stone was put in her heart, and she felt an indescribable pressure.

This time the emperor summoned the couple to Beijing, and Wei Lian was even more worried. She had sex with her husband for the first time. Of course, it was not to restore the love between the couple, but to know the truth from her husband.

The couple talked about the middle of the night, but Wei Lian still found nothing. Before dawn the next day, she got up and prepared to set off.

This time, it was very hasty to enter Beijing. Li Xian brought only a few eunuchs and palace maids who were serving each other in person and prepared two carriages. The eldest son Li Chongrun would accompany them. In addition, twenty guards would guard them along the way.

"Prince, are there too few guards we accompany us?" Wei Lian looked at the twenty horse-riding guards outside the car window and asked with some concern in front of the palace gate.

Li Xian sat cross-legged in the carriage, and he closed his eyes and recited the scriptures, as if he had not heard his wife's worries at all. Wei Lian looked back at him, and a trace of unconcealed disgust flashed in his eyes. What is the difference between chanting scriptures all day long and the old monk?

She no longer paid attention to her husband and waved to her son Li Chongrun. Li Chongrun hurriedly rushed forward and bowed to him, "Is there anything wrong with my mother?"

"I think there are too few guards, and it may be unsafe on the road, otherwise I will bring some guards with me."

"Report to my mother, last night, Commander Li sent someone to tell the child that they will also accompany us to protect us."

Wei Lian was overjoyed, "Does Commander Li want to accompany you too?"

“It’s right”

Li Xian, who had been chanting scriptures next to him, had his eyelids pounded suddenly, and then he returned to calm, as if he had heard nothing.

At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar, and the guard leader Han Zhiqi shouted loudly: "It's the inner guard who is here."

I saw about thirty inner guard warriors running from a distance, and the leader was Li Zhen. He urged his horse to run to the carriage, bowed to Wei Lian and said, "I received the emperor's oral order and will guard His Highness and the princess into the capital."

Wei Lian was relieved immediately. With Li Zhen guarding them into Beijing, at least she would not worry about danger on the way.

Li Xian kept his eyes closed and recited his scriptures with concentration. Soon, the two teams gathered together and escorted two carriages away from the palace and headed east along the official road.

In the Liang Palace of Luoyang, Wu Sansi was lying on the soft couch in the study with his eyes closed. Two maids were trying hard to massage his back. Since spring, Wu Sansi's back has been in unbearable pain, and it can only be relieved by massage.

At this time, the guard's report came from outside the door, "Report to Your Highness, there is an emergency news from Fangzhou."

"Come in"

Wu Sansi was not dressed, so the maid quickly pulled the curtain up. After a while, the guard walked into the room, knelt down on one knee, and presented a pigeon letter high. The maid took the letter and gave it to Wu Sansi. Wu Sansi opened the letter and looked for a moment, and immediately sat up and ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Ming over quickly."

The guard hurriedly retreated, and Wu Sansi had no intention of massage again. He got up and put on his clothes, and ordered the two maids, "Get out first."

The maids packed their things and stepped down. At this time, Mr. Ming's voice came from outside the door, "Does Your Highness look for me?"

"Sir, please come in quickly"

The door opened, and the thin Mr. Ming walked into the room. He bowed to Wu Sansi, "See Your Highness"

"Sir, please sit down"

Wu Sansi relied heavily on Mr. Ming and almost obeyed his suggestions. It was Mr. Ming's suggestion a few years ago to send someone to Fangzhou to lurk. Now it seems that his suggestions are completely correct. However, what disappointed Wu Sansi slightly was that Lai Junchen did not cooperate with his plan and actually let go of Wei's private equity warriors, but instead investigated the Xingtang Association.

Although Wu Sansi was very annoyed that Lai Junchen changed his plan without authorization, if Lai Junchen could destroy the Xingtang Association in one fell swoop, Wu Sansi would be even more happy. Compared to Wei's private samurai from the victims, the Xingtang Association was of course a big fish. It is precisely for this reason that he also began to change his plan and cooperated with Lai Junchen to investigate the Xingtang Association.

Mr. Ming sat down and asked with a smile: "Who advised the emperor to recall the King of Luling? Did Your Highness find out?"

Wu Sansi shook his head and said, "I have not found out so far, but I have received some news. I am afraid that this time the recall of Li Xian is related to the Xingtang Association."

After pausing, Wu Sansi said again: "I'm wondering, could it be Shangguan Wan'er?"

Mr. Ming laughed, "Your Highness, it's not Shangguan Wan'er. She will never connect Li Xian and Xingtang. Besides, it is not a wise move for Li Xian to leave Luzhou under the current situation. Even if Li Xian wants to return to Beijing to participate in the battle for the legitimate situation, he will have to wait until the situation is clear before talking. It is too dangerous to come back at this time."

Wu Sansi pondered and said nothing. The current situation was indeed a bit chaotic. He had a thought in his mind, could he make a difference by taking advantage of this chaotic situation?

He hesitated and said, "I think... Li Xian's return to Beijing this time may be an opportunity."

Mr. Ming understood what Wu Sansi meant, and he also thought that this was indeed an opportunity, but the risk was also very high. He thought for a while and said, "If Your Highness must take action, it is not impossible. However, this matter must not be done by the Palace Dean. You must use it for false action. Your Highness cannot be suspicious."
