To be honest, Li Yuan never took Dou Jiande seriously. Although he was addicted to enjoyment, he was talented and scheming. Otherwise, he would not have lived safely for more than ten years under Yang Guang's suspicion.

But this time Li Yuan regretted looking down on Dou Jiande for the first time. Dou Jiande was just a commoner. Twenty years ago, he was just a farmer. Most of the people who revolted with him were farmers who could not read big words. Therefore, in Li Yuan's eyes, even if Dou Jiande occupied Hebei, it would not be a climate.

Unexpectedly, Dou Jiande dared to cross the Yellow River to the north, capture Heyang, Huaizhou, and arrange for the main general to guard the situation. He led a large group of people to beat drums and raise flags, cross the Taihang Mountains, and enter Shangdang County. All of this was just a measure to hide his true purpose. Dou Jiande bluffed, but secretly accelerated to Hukou, disturbed Pujin, and seized the land in Hedong, and finally became Li Tang's confidant.

Li Yuan's gentle eyes fell on the ministers and said gently: "The Xia thief attacked my confidant place. What are the countermeasures for all the ministers?"

Li Yuanji stepped forward and said, "As long as the father gives his son 30,000 people, his son will definitely be able to bring Dou Jiande's head back."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "The King of Qi is bold, I feel very relieved. Do the other dear friends have any good plans?"

The ministers knew that the King of Qi and the Prince were now openly disagreeing, and at this time, people outside the two factions did not want to get involved. In order to prevent the King of Qi from becoming the second King of Qin, the prince would rather let Li Xiaogong, who was not part of either party, command a large army to conquer Wang Shichong than let Li Yuanji control the military power.

If there is no military power, the King of Qi will not be able to fight against the prince. It can be said that Li Jiancheng has learned from his mistakes and has a very accurate view. Moreover, with the support of Cihang Jingzhai, Li Yuan would not be too biased towards the King of Qi. It can be said that Li Yuanji is even worse than the King of Qin at that time.

Feng Deyi, an important official of the Sui family who was born into Li Yuan, said: "The capital of Huai'an was trapped in the hands of the Xia thieves. Now the Xia thieves are very powerful. We should be quiet and not move now. If the King of Qi comes out, we will be very passive." Feng Deyi was born in the Feng family of Bohai. In his early years, he was a staff member of Yang Su, and later was responsible for supervising the Jianren Shou Palace and was promoted to the Neishisheshes. During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, Feng Deyi was relied on by Yu Shiji, which gradually corrupted the government. After the Jiangdu Incident, he defected to Yu Wenji and served as the Neishisheshen.

After Yu Wen and his defeat, Feng Deyi followed the Yuwen family to naturalize Li Tang. He was from a high school and was an important official in several dynasties. Li Yuan also respected him very much, so he had to carefully consider Feng Deyi's words.

Li Jiancheng knew that he had not recruited Feng Deyi for nothing. At this critical moment, it was difficult for Li Jiancheng's subordinates to come forward, otherwise it would only make Li Yuan unhappy at this time. Feng Deyi, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, would not make Li Yuan suspicious, and he could only kill him.

He didn't know that Feng Deyi was actually Song Que's inner supporter who was invaded to Guanzhong, and it was impossible for him to be on the same mind.

Feng Deyi understood in his heart that Li Tang occupied Guanzhong, Da Zheng occupied Henan, and Da Xia occupied Hebei, which was a situation where the three main players confronted each other. Now that Tang is strong and Zheng is weak, the situation of the three main players will be broken, so it is inevitable that Dou Jiande will send troops. Feng Deyi must also maintain the situation of the three main players as much as possible and wait for the day when Song Que goes north.

After a quarrel and discussion, Li Tang still did not come up with a definite plan. In the end, Feng Deyi used the old and conspiring state words and failed to let Li Yuanji send troops.

Feng Deyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Dou Jiande worked harder and arrived in the Hulao area, Li Xiaogong had to give up the attack on Luoyang and turn around to deal with Dou Jiande.

In a quiet bamboo forest outside Xiangyang City, there is a stone house quietly located in it. The stream flows in front of the house, and the sound of Zen singing insects wanders freely among the bamboo leaves. The rising sun rises in the east, and the bamboo shadows become more quiet and moving.

Li Zhichang said slowly: "Although I have long realized the true meaning of 'All thoughts turn into one mind, no thoughts arise, and all thoughts are empty', but the shadow left by Fu Cailin's blow from his life essence still cannot be erased from my heart. Therefore, whenever I naturally perform my luck, I also remind myself that I still have injuries, which has been delayed for so long but has not healed."

Through the bamboo curtain, Shi Qingxuan could still feel Li Zhichang's dullness and nature at this moment. By this time, she was convinced that Li Zhichang's injury was healed without any recurrence.

Shi Qingxuan chuckled and said, "How do you know if you are an excuse? Let me play the flute for you."

Li Zhichang chuckled and said, "Qingxuan's flute sound does have the magic that makes me forget all worries, and thus return to the state of "all thoughts are empty", which finally restored my injury. This is absolutely false, let alone Qingxuan lived in seclusion outside Xiangyang City, which surprised and happy."

Shi Qingxuan showed a playful smile on her face and asked back, "Are you much more surprised or much happier?"

Li Zhichang smiled and said, "If I say I am mostly happy, does Qingxuan believe it?"

Shi Qingxuan smiled and said, "You are now the noble king of the south. Do you think they dare not believe it?"

Li Zhichang sighed: "Does Qingxuan not want me to continue the battle? I know that you have always liked to live alone and live alone. Even if you and I know each other in my heart, I will not force you at all."

Shi Qingxuan was silent for a moment and said lightly: "You didn't force me at all, so of course I can't force you either."

Outside the stone house, someone sighed softly: "Qingxuan, you are really the stupidest woman in the world. If Li Zhichang didn't take you to heart, why would he pretend that his injuries were not healed and came here?"

Shi Qingxuan finally heard this voice that she had been thinking about for more than ten years but was reluctant to face. Yurong became extremely calm and said to Li Zhichang: "You guessed that Shi Zhixuan was coming to kill me, so you came here to save me?"

Li Zhichang walked out of the stone house, under the bamboo forest, beside the stream, the stone pavilion stood leisurely, between the seemingly there and there, staring deeply at the clear stream.

The morning breeze moved, and the bamboo leaves on the bamboo forest sprinkled from the sky, adding to Shi Zhixuan's desolate and cold mood at this moment.

This touch of melancholy is inevitably moved no matter who sees it.

Shi Qingxuan whispered beside Li Zhichang: "This is Shi Zhixuan, who fascinated her mother."

Shi Zhixuan did not look up, but Shi Qingxuan seemed to feel Shi Zhixuan's affectionate gaze at her, and was ruthless because of her deep affection. He chanted slowly: "The wind and catkins have gone away and have turned into duckweed, and the lotus mud is just lingering in the lotus root. Take care of the fragrance and remember the past life.

When the love is deep, the love becomes thinner, but now I regret it and feel passionate. When I look back at the heart, I have tears to steal from it.”

A few tears flowed down Shi Zhixuan's cheeks and merged into the stream. No matter who it is, he could feel Shi Zhixuan's sadness at this moment.

Shi Qingxuan held Li Zhichang's hand tightly. Li Zhichang could still feel the woman who looked down on everything, and her hands were sweating profusely.

Li Zhichang said leisurely: "The Evil King has finally reached the state of ruthlessness and selflessness. Are you very lonely now?"

Shi Zhixuan raised his head, with his hands behind his back, his cold eyes were not as good as humans should have, but he chuckled softly and said, "Since I have become sensible, I have felt my loneliness. It is not a question of how many people are around me, but when you see through this world, you will become a calm bystander. Their obsession with gains and losses are just ignorant in my eyes. Li Zhichang, you are the same person as me, I will ask you, aren't you lonely?"

Li Zhichang said calmly: "I am different from you. I am as fearless and terrible as you in life and death. We have done better than others in this regard. But I will not believe that any external force can provide me with a cage-like outlet for life, nor will I hope that religion can give you liberation like you. Even if everyone is drunk and I am so lonely, I will not make me as crazy as you."

Shi Qingxuan didn't say a word and looked at her father deeply. No one understood Shi Zhixuan's coldness better than her. His inhumaneness was not because he was naturally good at killing or enjoying destruction, but because his extraordinary intelligence, seeing through the essence of life, and thus creating a way of dealing with others that is difficult for others to shake.

So to this day, Shi Qingxuan also understands that her mother has never hated Shi Zhixuan, but she has no reason to forgive him, nor does she want to hate him. The contradiction in her heart is completely opposite to her calm appearance at this moment.

Shi Zhixuan sneered: "You are now Ku Xiao when I first met Xiuxin. I thought Xiuxin was my only chance to break free from the sea of ​​suffering, but it was destroyed by me with my own hands. Until now, I have understood that Shi Zhixuan has never been wrong, but the world is wrong."

Li Zhichang said lightly: "So that's the case, you can't hurt Qingxuan no matter what. I have given you a chance to recover. Now it's time for you and me to finish it. Unifying the world is inevitable. Maybe I won't be able to stay in this world for long, so I can't let you stay in this world."

Shi Zhixuan was leisurely and freehand, and he was not moved by Li Zhichang's harsh words at all. After killing Shi Qingxuan, he would not have any concern in this world. At that time, either he would complete the mission and ideals of the Holy Gate, or be destroyed, and there would be no third possibility.

He also understood that Li Zhichang was deeply afraid of him, and only he could destroy the hope of unifying the world without any effort. This was not a big deal, just because except for a few people, no one could compete with him, and he was a truly unscrupulous person.

Like Li Zhichang, he would not kill like him. Li Zhichang's free will be in line with the inherent rules of the world. He pursues the traditional immortals and saints. The root of it itself lies in self-liberation. Conquering the world is just a wonderful thing in Li Zhichang's life, not all of him.

He said happily: "You understand my murderous intent at this moment, why don't you take action?"

Li Zhichang said calmly: "First of all, I will make you unable to kill Qingxuan, and secondly, I will kill you, not to mention that the strength of the Evil King is not inferior to me at all, so why would I take action rashly?" (To be continued...)
