The bow was drawn towards the full moon, but the expected panic between the two did not occur.
Huyan Chen narrowed his eyes and pulled the bow harder.
"You two, do you want to be a pair of desperate lovers? Or are you fulfilling my wish?"
Li Tangyi was not afraid at all and stared straight into his eyes.
"When the bow and arrow leave your hand, you will die."
Hu Yanchen seemed to have heard a huge joke, "All the people around this dangerous bend are my people."
Li Tangyi smiled and took a few steps forward.
"Oh, really? Are you sure? You think we fell into your trap, but how do you know you are not part of our trap?"
The Hu people are rough and only know how to attack with force. Naturally, they don't know anything about military tactics.
"Don't lie! Black Valley is my territory. You have to obey my orders whether you enter or leave."
Li Tangyi covered her mouth and chuckled, pointing around.
"Then Third Prince, take a look around here, is there anyone who belongs to you?"
Hu Yanchen secretly felt something was wrong. After watching for a week, his face suddenly changed. He didn't know when, half of the people he brought with him were already lying down. The arrows in the hands of those archers were not aimed at Li Tangyi and Nangong Jin, but at himself.
Hu Yanchen gritted his teeth, "Are you guys cheating?"
Li Tangyi curled her lips slightly, "All is fair in war, isn't this the principle that the Third Prince taught me?"
Nangong Jin took Li Tangyi and left, leaving the finishing work to Mu Feng.
If Hu Yanchen is captured, the remaining Hu people will not be a threat.
Sure enough, everything went smoothly afterwards.
.
The Hu people did not dare to act rashly, and Nangong Jin and others set out on the journey back to Kyoto unharmed.
After reaching a safe place, the remaining troops gathered together. For a moment, the army was unstoppable and the Hu people were defeated!
On the other side, Nangong Yue, who had escaped halfway, had already brought Li Tangru to Kyoto.
Li Tangru whispered in the carriage.
"Your Highness, let's get back first. We must take the initiative and put ourselves in an invincible position."
Nangong Yue nodded in agreement, "It's time to go in and make public what my good brother has done."
“No.”
Now is a great opportunity, why don't you take it to throw dirty water on Nangong Jin and still want to tell the truth?
"Your Highness should first prove that Prince Xiao is guilty of treason."
But at this moment, the servant hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Your Highness, it's bad. Our spies have sent news that the scouts have rushed 800 miles and the army has won!"
Nangong Yue looked anxious, "What? Hurry and enter the palace!"
Naturally, Li Tangru had no qualifications to enter the palace, so she got off the carriage halfway. She was just confused and didn't know how the situation would develop.
In the South Study.
Nangong Yan sat quietly on the dragon throne, listening to Nangong Yue's tearful report.
"Father, my third brother has grown too powerful. Not only has he disobeyed my orders, he has also disrespected me and even imprisoned me in private. Father, you must stand up for me!"
Nangong Jin closed his eyes without responding, so Nangong Yue took the opportunity to exaggerate.
“Withdrawal of troops from Montenegro
When we were in the valley, my third brother was obsessed with fighting and insisted on confronting the Hu people. I was afraid that he would cause a disaster, so I returned to the capital early. "
Nangong Yan finally opened his eyes, but the emotions in his eyes were dark and unclear.
He knew very well what kind of person his son was. Nangong Jin was a good material, but not a good chess piece.
When necessary, it can be abandoned.
"Yue'er has done well. I will reward you handsomely. As for that rebellious son...when he returns to the court, he will be charged with disobeying my order and sent to prison."
Nangong Yan picked up the paper and pen, and the ink began to spread.
"I will draft an edict and send it to Prince Xiao immediately."
Nangong Yue knelt on the ground with his head down, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
See, in the end, he is still the winner.
On the other side, Nangong Jin's troops returned to the capital.
Upon hearing that the prince had returned, the people spontaneously welcomed him at the city gate.
"Your Highness's triumphant return to the court is what the people want."
"Yes, Your Majesty is devoted to the people and deserves to be loved!"
Nangong Jin rode on a tall horse and had fun with the people, while Li Tangyi was at the end of the team and met Bai Cai and others.
Bai Cai and the others had received the news early in the morning. When they saw Li Tangyi returning safely, their eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Princess, you are finally back. It has been three months. I have been worried about you day and night, fearing that something bad might happen to you."
Li Tangyi had no choice but to hold the little crybaby in her arms and comfort him.
"I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Have you encountered any difficulties while watching over the palace?"
Bai Cai shook his head.
It is all done according to plan, but something has happened in the clinic, so we have to wait for you to come back and make the decision."
Li Tangyi let go of her, and then noticed that Yunlin, the little beggar Acheng and others had also come to welcome her.
But the little beggars now are no longer the same as before. They are all full of energy and their eyes are bright when they look at Li Tangyi.
Li Tangyi raised her chin towards the huge crowd of people in front of her and looked at Ah Cheng jokingly.
“Is this your work?”
Ah Cheng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"The princess has been kind to us. Before she left, she ordered people to repair the dilapidated temple and turn it into a place for us to live. She also taught us how to make a living. We can only repay your kindness in some unpresentable way."
Li Tangyi pursed her lips with relief. The last time she saw Ah Cheng, he would never say such a long speech.
She patted Ah Cheng's head as she did before and gave him encouragement, "Well done."
Lingdang and Baicai hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they got together to reminisce about the past. Only Liuli stayed aside, looking out of place in the scene.
Li Tangyi patted her on the shoulder and was about to say that they should treat this place as their home, but she saw the people suddenly kneeling on the ground, shouting "Long live the emperor".
A man was riding a horse not far away.
Liuli stared at him intently and murmured, "It seems to be an imperial decree."
Sure enough, the voice of the eunuch conveying the imperial eunuch's orders could be heard.
"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, declares that Prince Xiao has disobeyed the Emperor's orders, refused to negotiate peace and provoked war.
"You have abandoned the people and your country. You will be detained by the Dali Temple immediately and will be tried later."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people present, including the common people, turned grim and they lost their strength.
Why, even after winning the battle, he is still being arrested?
Li Tangyi looked at Nangong Jin's motionless back through the crowd, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Being a prince is not an easy job.
Nangong Yue fled from the battlefield and failed in the fight, but his ability in filing a complaint is first-rate!
And that pedantic old emperor actually helped the tyrant to commit atrocities, which was really a misfortune for his country.
"Princess, you won the battle, why are you being arrested? This is not fair!"
The youngest, Ah Cheng, was the first to lose his temper and looked indignant.
"Don't worry."
Li Tangyi turned around and got on the carriage, quickly stuffing the various powders she had prepared into her sleeves.
She touched Ah Cheng's hair again and smiled.
"There are too many people surrounding us now. We cannot implicate them because of us. Please do not stop us. If necessary, the prince and I will pass on the news to you as soon as possible."
After saying this, she turned around resolutely, walked towards Nangong Jin step by step, and was taken to the Dali Temple with him.
Of course, it wasn't because of any marital relationship.
Li Tangyi knew very well that she had been away from Kyoto for quite some time, and the person in the palace must know where she had been.
Rather than staying in the palace, trembling with fear and waiting for the wrath that may come at any time, it is better to go to jail with this bastard, so that you can ensure your safety and discuss strategies together.
