……
That same night, Xue Rengui, who had just returned to Chang'an from the Eastern European battlefield, also learned the news that the sky had fallen.
Then he ran desperately to the gate of Li Qiu's courtyard.
With bloodshot eyes, he fell to his knees with a plop.
While kowtowing heavily, weeping loudly.
"Master!"
"Your disciple is not filial, come back late!"
"Early tomorrow morning, disciples will follow the army and go to Goguryeo."
"Revenge for the teacher."
"Will you call that wolf-hearted thief and traitor Qu Hetai, die!"
……
Outside Chang'an City in the early morning of the next day.
The mighty, majestic and murderous elite army has assembled outside Chang'an City.
Dressed in military uniform, with a silver helmet and silver armor, holding a five-hook flying spear, Luo Kexin, who has a famous horse, White Hoofed Crow, on his crotch.
The eyes are cold and fierce, and they are in the middle full of murderous intent.
Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Li Daozong, Cheng Mingzhen, Feng Li, Niu Jinda, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and other generals are also ready to go.
Immediately, Luo Kexin, who returned to the battlefield once again, gave an order.
The army marched towards Goguryeo at the speed of the wind.
Jing Wuming also followed closely beside Luo Kexin, protecting her left and right.
……
In the next few days.
For Luo Kexin and others, the only thing in their minds and hearts is hatred.
The time to stop and rest every day is very short, and I have been rushing in silence almost all the time.
A feeling of hatred, anger, and murder was also fermented and brewed in this army.
And these days, for Li Shimin, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and other people in the city.
It's just like a year.
How much they wanted to get even a sliver of good news from Princess Yunzhong.
but……
What awaited them was only shorter and worse replies.
Finally, in the evening of this day.
Li Qiu survived until the oil ran out, and his vital signs weakened again.
It seemed as if he was going to leave completely at any moment.
At this moment, the whole person in the cloud, the whole world, seemed to have turned back into chaos with Li Qiu's departure.
It turned out that without realizing it, Li Qiu had become her whole world, everything she could have.
And when the people who had been anxiously waiting outside got to know the bad news.
Ma Zhou, Gao Jifu, Song You, Li Chunfeng, Sun Simiao and others all collapsed.
Kneeling on the ground, weeping loudly.
Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Changsun Wuji, Wen Yanbo and other important officials also felt that the world was spinning before their eyes.
No matter what, they couldn't accept it.
How could Li Qiu, the unparalleled God of War, fall into the hands of such an unknown junior so easily.
As for Li Shimin, after hearing the bad news, his body shook immediately, and he was about to faint.
Fortunately, he was supported by Chu Suiliang and others who were prepared for it.
The next moment, Li Shimin walked into Li Qiu's room alone.
Looking at the son who was exhausted at the moment, his face was thin, he was defeated, and his anger was hanging.
In an instant, there were turbid tears.
Can no longer stop rolling down.
Afterwards, he choked up, and stretched out his old wrinkled hand again.
With great pity, he touched his son's forehead and cheek.
He is still so young and has a bright future ahead.
In the future, he will inherit the Great Tradition and become the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
but……
How could there be such a result?
After a long time, Li Shimin's heart was ashamed, he didn't know what to do, and left here with vain steps.
He went directly to Zhaoling where his wife was buried.
Then alone, with his back against his wife's tombstone, he sat on the ground.
Tears of regret flowed down again.
"Guanyin maid."
"Qiu'er, he is afraid that he will go with you..."
"It's me, sorry for your mother and son."
"Before you died, I promised you to take good care of Qiu'er."
"Now, I have broken my promise."
"All of this is my fault."
"It's all my fault, for being greedy for the throne, for the merits of this prosperous age, for the vain name of an eternal emperor."
"Thus harming Qiu'er."
"If I had passed on the throne to him earlier, how could he have been killed by that traitor so easily?!"
"I, pretend to be a husband, pretend to be a father!"
"Guanyin maidservant, I am really in a difficult situation right now."
"I'm getting old, and I'm going to die soon."
"But now that Qiu'er is gone, Wen Zhi is still young, no matter what, I have to hold my breath, and watch the last part of the Tang Dynasty..."
Chapter 1086 If you have a soul
Just in the process.
The East Palace and the entire city of Chang'an have already started the funeral for the crown prince, and hastily made preparations.
This bad news, like a hurricane, quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
The people in the entire Chang'an City also felt as if the sky had fallen.
Spontaneously came to the gate of the East Palace, almost blocking the entire area.
The sound of crying and mourning stretched for tens of miles.
They really dare not imagine that the folk prince who has been worshiped and admired by them has come out from under their noses.
Their unparalleled martial arts general, their young master Li Qiu, just left them suddenly.
In the East City of Chang'an City, countless old neighbors came to that old house again.
Wipe away the dirty tears with the sleeves.
He spilled bowls of wine in his hand in front of the door.
Still muttering in his mouth: Our Prince's Highness, this wine is his favorite drink.
We have grown up since we were young, watching His Highness grow up little by little.
After that, he became the great hero of the Tang Dynasty, then the prime minister, and the prince of the East Palace.
But Your Highness?
You, why did you leave like this?
Jealous of talents today!
Pingkang Square in Chang'an City.
This was originally the most lively and romantic place in the entire Chang'an City.
But today, this place has become a sea of sadness and sadness.
Countless girls walked to the streets spontaneously.
There are white flowers on their temples, their eyes are reddish, and there are crystal tears rolling down from time to time.
Afterwards, these girls played a sad and mournful Butterfly Lovers song.
Listening to the mournful chords, it made people shed tears and break their hearts.
During the interval between music and music, these girls could no longer stop their grief and began to cry.
"Slaves, send off His Highness the Crown Prince respectfully."
"Farewell today, there will be no more leisurely fun in Pingkangfang."
"There is no more in the world, Xiaoyao Wang..."
In the Furong Garden outside Chang'an City.
Abbas, Rudaki, and tens of thousands of followers of the Holy King Sect all knelt there at this moment.
While weeping bitterly and shedding tears, he recited the scriptures of the Holy King's Sutra.
They couldn't believe how His Royal Highness the Holy King left them like this and returned to the Holy Cult Paradise.
They still have too many instructions that they haven't listened to, and too many doubts that haven't been solved.
In their hearts, they were also devoutly praying to the Holy Spirit, not to take His Highness the Holy King away so early.
……
A few days later, it was not long before the army led by Luo Kexin and others arrived in Youzhou.
The subsequent urgent report from Chang'an, eight hundred miles away, also came at the same time.
After hearing the sad news, Luo Kexin squatted on the ground, heartbroken, and covered his face in tears.
Ever since she had memories when she was a child, she has been constantly suffering from great suffering and pressure, and she has been carrying forward with heavy burdens.
She disguised herself as a man, and was going to fight at a young age to defend her family and the country.
He supported the entire Youzhou Army by himself.
At this moment, out of instinct, she still wanted to try her best to maintain her general style.
Whenever she is in the army, she will forget her identity as a daughter.
But at this moment, she only felt that her world had collapsed.
She couldn't bear the weight of this kind of life at all.
Similarly, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Feng Li, Cheng Mingzhen and others also beat their chests and stamped their feet after hearing such a sad news.
There were hot tears rolling down.
As for Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui and other disciples, they headed directly in the direction of Chang'an City.
Crying loudly, kneeling down deeply.
