"What? Li Qiu is gone?!"

As soon as they heard the news, Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others were shocked.

At this time, Feng Deyi and the others also looked anxious and vicious: "This Li Qiu is really too arrogant and reckless. "

He even dared to snatch the eight-hundred-mile urgent holy decree, is there anything he didn't dare to do?"

"This time he snatched the holy decree and disappeared, he must have delayed the warplane. "

Your Majesty, this son is bold and reckless, and he despises the imperial power, not once or twice. "

The ministers implore that this Li Qiu be beheaded according to the law to set an example!"

Listening to his words, Du Ruhui on the side frowned.

"Li Qiu had approached the minister before, saying that he was going to Shuofang City to rescue General Chai Shao. "

When the minister didn't approve it, he submitted it to His Majesty again, but His Majesty rejected it again.

"This time, don't even think about it, Li Qiu must have gone to Shuofang to resist the decree.

After Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling's tone was heavy, and after exhaling lightly, he looked at Feng Deyi slowly and sighed and said

, "That Shuofang City, which has not been built for many years, is tall, strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"At the time of the siege, our army was at an absolute disadvantage.

"No matter how good Li Qiu's martial arts are, they can't show much in the process of attacking the city.

"And it is often the more heroic the performance, the most volleys and attacks are received by the defending side.

"Li Qiu is gone, and he will die without life.

"According to Li Qiu's character of being the first to bear the brunt of every battle, once he leads the team to attack the city, the chance of coming back alive is one in ten thousand.

"So at this time, Lord Feng is discussing whether to behead him because of the resistance, and there is no point in it.

After listening to his words, Feng Deyi looked stunned, and then subconsciously asked a question in his heart.

"Xuan Ling, do you mean, knowing that he would die if he went to Shuofang, he still wanted to hijack the holy decree and disobey the order?"

"I'm afraid this doesn't make sense, right?"

Listening to his suspicious words, a trace of anger flashed in Du Ruhui's eyes.

"Li Qiu's son, who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, is bold and aggressive, and acts eclecticly, which is very different from the people we have seen and known.

"At the beginning, on the bank of the Weishui River, he led a hundred elite cavalry, and he dared to break into the army formation of more than 100,000 Turks.

"Now, because of Luo Cheng, this Chai Shao treats Li Qiu best on weekdays, so Li Qiu has to sacrifice his life to rush to Shuofang to rescue Chai Shao.

"Maybe, when he left, he didn't plan to come back alive at all..."

Listening to his words, Princess Pingyang on the side showed great shock in her eyes, and then there was that deep emotion and reluctance.

The

more we are at such a critical moment of life and death, the more we can reflect the preciousness and sincerity of one's feelings.

At this time, Li Shimin, when listening to Fang Xuanling's analytical words, had already turned sideways, tilted his head slightly, and quietly closed his eyes.

Then I couldn't help but imagine in my mind that Li Qiu, who was dressed in silver armor, led the team to attack the city, and then all kinds of miserable deaths.

The tears that were rolling in the eyes just now because of my sister and brother-in-law finally couldn't help rolling down quietly.

In his life, he didn't know how many cities he had attacked.

Naturally, I know the hardships involved.

So this is one of the reasons why he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

This Shuofang City, if it is attacked hard, it will not be able to be attacked!

Just as they were just speaking, Empress Changsun was originally rushing towards Chengqing Hall with the eunuchs and palace maids.

Today, she just heard the news of Li Qiu's disappearance, and then she thought of coming to Chengqing Hall to ask about the situation.

But who knows, I happened to hear the words of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.

At that moment, Empress Eldest Sun only felt that it was dark in front of her, and her body collapsed as if she had lost support.

Hurriedly supported by the old eunuch Xu De behind him.

......

Late at night, the lights in the Lizheng Hall are still the same.

Empress Eldest Sun cried with red eyes, and she never interfered in national affairs, and she finally couldn't help but beg to come out.

"Jiro. "

I beg you, save Qiu'er, okay?"

At this time, Li Shimin, with his hands in his hands, stood by the window, staring at the dark night outside.

After listening to his wife's words, he almost trembled and exhaled deeply with endless sadness.

"Alas..."

"Guanyin, it's not that I don't want to save it. "

It's just, it's too late..."

Like when I was young!

" "He is also a good boy of my Tang Dynasty!"

"It is the eternal pride in my heart..."

As he spoke, a tear of extreme reluctance quietly slipped from the corner of Li Shimin's eyes.

And the eldest grandson queen had already buried her head in the bed, silently sad and crying.

......

In the old county king's mansion, Luo Kexin, who had already put on his helmet and armor, was constantly pacing uneasily around the house.

Originally, she was going to escape from the house in the dark, but she was caught by the old county king.

"Grandpa

!" "Why are you stopping me, why don't you let me go to Shuofang

?" The old county king shook his head and glanced at her, "Are you still in the boundary of our own Youzhou City?"

"This is in Chang'an

!" "You are fooling around like this, it is easy to have a big accident!" "

Besides, Li Qiu has been gone for a day and a night.

"That means it's too late to set off now.

"Now, the only thing you need to do is to be patient and not cause any more unnecessary trouble.

"Li Qiu, that kid is auspicious, there will be no problems. This

last sentence, even the old county king himself, felt that he lacked confidence in his heart.

......

In the Yingguo Mansion, Wu Jue also looked nervous and anxious to ask about his father's detailed situation.

As for the samurai, although the words spoken were very relaxed.

But it is inevitable that there will be some squeaks and unsmoothness.

Wu Jue, who is extremely thoughtful and meticulous, can naturally hear some different things from it, which makes her extremely worried.

......

Two days later, in the afternoon, Shuofang City was down.

In the case of not receiving the holy decree for a long time, the marshal Li Jing still decided to withdraw his troops.

He couldn't go on like this, let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty make senseless sacrifices, and added firewood to the Liang division every day.

In the current situation, even if he is unwilling to admit it, he has to accept the reality.

This Chai Shao, he can't save it.

He couldn't take this Shuofang City.

These days, nearly 20,000 soldiers have been lost.

When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed.

We can't go on like this.

After hearing this order from Li Jing, the more than 10,000 soldiers who were originally deployed by Chai Shao, with red eyes and tears, all knelt down for Li Jing with a plop.
