Datang's journey to death

Chapter 71

Li Yin stared at Li Ke with wide-eyed eyes, never expecting it to be such a reason, but it was precisely such a reason that made him have no chance to stand up.

Li Yin stammered and said, "This... what kind of reason is this?"

Shouldn't it be based on status, status, background, and the like?Even depending on age...they are not going to get married!

"The reason is obviously that Yuyi thinks you are too naive, Xiaoerlang." At the critical moment, Pei Xuan came out to make up for it again.

Childish... Childish, Li Min took a deep breath and looked at Li Ke seriously and said, "I can work hard..."

"It's too late, he's mine now." Pei Xuan hugged Li Ke's waist while talking and kissed him ambiguously in his ear.

Now Li Yin really wished that he had a sword in his hand and directly stabbed that shameless thing to death!

Li Ke felt very troubled by the farce in front of him. He looked at Li Yin and said, "I gave you a reason if you want a reason. As for whether you accept it or not, that is your problem. Of course, even if you don't accept it, you can't change it." What." Li Ke looked at Li Yin indifferently and said, "I could still treat you as my closest brother, but now it seems that this is unnecessary, and you can just do it yourself from now on."

Li Ke's mind is very clear and he won't say anything. If you don't have this thought, we are still good brothers. This choice is just a loophole for the other party. People like Li Yin understand what it means to make progress , he may agree first, but he can't say what he will do later.

If you don't like it, don't stick to it. This is Li Ke's style all the time, and now Pei Xuan is going to love this style to death.

Li Yin stood there with a pale face, and asked in a daze, "Third brother, do you want me?"

Li Ke looked at him completely unmoved, Li Yin's expression gradually turned dark, Li Ke seemed to have seen the process of his blackening, I have to say that this process is quite new.

Li Yin's tone was blunt: "Third brother, aren't you afraid that Dad will know? If Dad knows about you and the Duke of Hedong County..."

Whoops, the wings have grown hard, and you dare to threaten me, Li Ke still looked at him indifferently and said: "Believe me, Dad will not want to know that his son likes another son. The matter between me and Pei Xuanjue is much more serious.

Pei Xuan added from the side: "The most important thing is that you have no evidence."

Li Yin said sarcastically, "Do you have evidence?"

"Probably there is no evidence, but I think father may be more willing to believe me." Li Ke looked up at Li Yin and said, "Liu Lang, I will teach you the last lesson. When your strength is no match for your enemy When confronting each other, you must at least learn to endure rather than actively provoke."

Li Yin's eyes were slightly red: "I didn't regard you as an enemy!"

"Xuan Jue's enemies are my enemies."

Li Yin stared at Li Ke with wide eyes and suddenly laughed like crazy: "Okay, okay, okay, so I am nothing in your eyes."

Although he was smiling, the tears in his eyes kept falling. Li Ke sighed. He didn't feel bad seeing Li Yin like this. It's just that this kind of thing can't give the other party the slightest hope. If you refuse, just refuse it. Thoroughly, procrastinating to the end can only hurt him.

Li Yin stumbled away, but Pei Xuan sat on the side very quietly and did not show the pride and embarrassment of the winner, which made Li Ke feel very strange.

"Why didn't you speak?"

Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke quietly for a long while before saying, "It's just that I feel a little empathy all of a sudden."

Li Ke looked at him inexplicably, but Pei Xuan did not explain but showed a smug smile: "I knew you liked me."

Pei Xuan's empathy was just imagining that if Li Ke rejected him, he...he would probably be so sad, and the reason why he said this sentence was because he saw through Li Ke's character. If you don't like him, you will refuse very decisively, as if you were treating Li Yin, instead of hesitating for so long.

Li Ke obviously didn't understand what Pei Xuan meant, but it didn't matter whether he understood it or not. Anyway, he wanted to drive Pei Xuan back. It was no problem for Pei Xuan to come to his house, but it would be a problem if he stayed overnight. After all, the two families were close to each other. The curfew is only the main road outside the forbidden square, but there is no such thing as a curfew inside the square.

Pei Xuan was a little reconciled, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to go further, Yuewu once said that if he could become a human, it would be very comfortable to do that kind of thing with his master, but unfortunately he only had one chance, Pei Xuan was tickled by him, and wanted to try it a long time ago, but Li Ke didn't agree.

Of course Li Ke would not agree, although his mental age is already an adult, but his body is not. It would be fine if Pei Xuan was also a minor, but it is very weak. Pei Xuan is already a stupid adult. Well, the size of that place is not small, really asking him to do that is simply a deadly rhythm.

However, Pei Xuan was obviously much more cunning than Li Ke thought, especially after he saw a white cat on his bed that night.

Li Ke really never expected that this guy turned into a white cat and ran over the wall to his bedroom. After seeing the hair on the quilt and bed sheets, Li Ke said helplessly: "How do you explain this to me tomorrow?" ?”

Naturally, his room was cleaned up by servants of the palace. He no longer keeps cats, but he found cat hair on his bed. Doesn't this mean there is something wrong?

Pei Xuan's cat eyes widened: "You dislike my hair loss again!"

Li Ke was confused for a moment, what is another?When did he dislike Pei Xuan and lose his hair?

Seeing him like this, Pei Xuan was so angry that he turned around and pointed his butt at him. At the same time, he rubbed his stomach on the bed vigorously, and rubbed off more cat hair.

Li Ke: ...

"I think there is a misunderstanding between us." Li Ke poked Pei Xuan's chubby butt, only to find that the other party moved his body and still refused to turn to him.

Li Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to hug the white cat that hadn't grown up for so many years, scratched the other's chin comfortingly, and then heard the white cat purring comfortably, Li Ke turned him around Kissed him on the forehead and said, "I'm just worried about being discovered."

After Pei Xuan tossed his hind legs twice and found that he couldn't break free, he raised his head and looked at Li Ke: "Won't you think of a way to make them shut up?"

When Pei Xuan was human, he was good-looking enough, so it is not annoying to put on this arrogant look. When he turned into a cat, Li Ke felt even more cute. He couldn't help but kiss Pei Xuan again His forehead said: "Then you have to be careful, Liu Lang is not a person who will shrink back when he is hit."

Pei Xuan snorted slightly: "Don't just kiss the forehead, kiss me."

Li Ke looked at the white dumpling in his hand and put him down. Pei Xuan thought that Li Ke rejected what he was about to say, when he heard Li Ke say quietly: "You should turn back into a human being."

Although he has no morals, kissing a cat is still too shameful.

After thinking about it, Pei Xuan also felt that his current appearance was too weak, so he directly changed back to a human being, but after he changed back, Li Ke regretted it-Pei Xuan obviously did not turn into a man like in various legends. A human figure will naturally have a suit of clothes, he...he is completely naked!However, Pei Xuan didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and directly stretched out his hands to hold Li Ke's face and wanted to ask for a kiss.

When he was a cat, Li Ke could molested at will, but when he became a human, Li Ke could only be molested.After the clothes on the bed were almost stripped off, Li Ke gasped and pressed Pei Xuan's hand stretched behind him: "Don't."

Pei Xuan didn't look angry, but he looked at him with rare tenderness. He kissed Li Ke's forehead and said, "Don't be afraid."

Li Ke shook his head: "My body is not fully grown, unless you want me to not show up for several days."

The fact that the other party couldn't get out of bed obviously made Pei Xuan more excited, but he saw that Li Ke's youthful body hadn't faded, although he was a little regretful, he still couldn't bear to hurt him: "Okay, then wait until you're ready." Let's go..."

Li Ke looked at Pei Xuan's green eyes and refused to think about what would happen when he was ready. He smiled and kissed Pei Xuan, stretched out his hand to hold the other's high spirits, and said, "Although we can't make it to the end, there are ways to make you happy." Comfortable."

Well, what Yue Wu said is right, this kind of thing is indeed very comfortable, Pei Xuan thought contentedly, he left many marks on Li Ke's body, which made him so satisfied that even before dawn he would Even being thrown out by Li Ke couldn't stop his good mood.

The two people who were getting bored couldn't imagine that the sky had already started to change in the imperial city.Early the next morning, when Li Ke was thinking about whether to go to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian and inquire about the news, he received the news that Li Shimin wanted to see him.

Li Ke was very strange. Today is a holiday. In the past, Li Shimin would specially accompany the eldest grandson empress on this day, especially after the eldest grandson empress became more and more ill, why would he want to let him enter the palace today?

After tidying up, Li Ke went to Li Shimin's study, but Li Shimin was not busy with business at this time, but just sat there as if waiting for him, Li Ke's heart skipped a beat, as if something was about to happen.

Li Shimin's expression was very calm, and he didn't have any emotions when facing Li Ke, but this was enough for Li Ke to raise his vigilance to the highest level. After all, after he crossed over, as long as he was around, Li Shimin would basically be calm when facing him. With a smile, an expression like today's is really rare.

"Sanlang, do you know what Shiro has been doing recently?" Li Shimin asked a question that had nothing to do with Li Ke as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Ke was a little dazed: "Shiro? Isn't he still reading recently? I brought him a lot of lonely books before, and I heard that he was so obsessed with reading that he forgot to eat and sleep. I haven't seen him much."

It's true, recently Li Ke didn't meet Li Tai so much, if he could, he would really be too lazy to deal with Li Tai, and it would easily lower his IQ.

Li Shimin's expression didn't change but he just said: "The things dug out from Changsun Huan's other courtyard before have found some clues."

Li Ke nodded and waited for Li Shimin to continue. Yes, Li Chengqian buried his things in the property owned by Changsun Huan. According to the principle, before the separation of the family, children and grandchildren cannot buy private property without authorization, so Strictly speaking, Changsun Huan's move violated the etiquette and family rules. The reason why Li Chengqian chose to be there was that it was difficult to do such a small move in the Duke's mansion of the Changsun family. After all, Changsun Wuji was still alive, and he was not Changsun Huan. Maybe let him follow the clues and scoop them up.

Compared with Changsun Huan's private house, it was simply too easy to attack. Of course, it was precisely because of this that Changsun's family was not completely implicated.

When Li Ke was still wondering what this matter had to do with him, or why he had to tell him about this matter alone, Li Shimin dropped a bomb on him: "What we found out now is that Shiro It was buried with Changsun Huan."

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, and blurted out almost instantly: "This is impossible!"

"Tell me." Li Shimin didn't show anger, maybe he was already angry before, or maybe he didn't believe that his son would kill brothers, and Li Tai was even the younger brother of Li Chengqian's mother.

Li Ke stood up and knelt down and said, "Father, there must be something strange about this matter. Why is it someone else but Shiro? Shiro is always gentle and kind, how could he do such a thing? Besides, where did he know about this?"

Li Shimin lowered his eyes slightly and said: "He has a reason, and as for why he knows this, it is because he recently acquired some new books, which are said to have records in this regard."

Li Ke's face turned pale, and he said that something was wrong. It turned out that they were waiting for him here. There is no need to doubt that this kind of thing must be written by Changsun Wuji. He may have guessed something, but there is no evidence. Li Chengqian can't move. , simply took this opportunity to stew him and Li Tai together.

Before Li Ke thought that Changsun Wuji would not target him, but after this happened, he didn't dare to think so, Changsun Wuji was going to put him to death!

Li Ke said in a panic: "Father, my son has read those books, and there is indeed nothing in them..." At this point Li Ke's voice stopped abruptly, and he had already thought of it, if the other party really needs this aspect in the book content, then even if it didn’t exist in the first place, it might have it now.

It's really careless, I really didn't expect that Changsun Wuji could bite him back at this point, and even he only needs to sacrifice one son to drag him and Li Tai into trouble.

Li Ke took a deep breath and said after a while, "Father, send me to the border."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "You want... to ask yourself to be exiled? Don't you plan to say anything?"

In the end, Li Shimin's voice raised a lot, as if he didn't believe that Li Tai would curse Li Chengqian, and he didn't believe that Li Ke would use Li Tai to do these things. After all, it was not good for Li Ke. Li Tai will also be deprived of the right to inherit because of this matter, but there is still Li Zhi, as long as Li Zhi is still there, there will be no chance for Li Ke.

A look of exhaustion appeared on Li Ke's face: "Let's stop here. I can't figure out the purpose of those people, and I don't know who is behind the scenes. It's just that they have spent so much effort. Want to drag me and Shiro into the water, father, the real danger is the elder brother. If they can use us once, they can use us the second time, and they may even use us younger brothers. Just use me as a warning, and than Speaking of these... On the contrary, the thrilling battlefield makes me feel more comfortable, father, let me guard the country for you and elder brother."

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke silently, he sighed and stood up, pulled Li Ke up from the ground and said, "I didn't doubt you..."

"I know, but if someone else finds out, Father is protecting me like this, it will deal a huge blow to my elder brother, and it is very likely that his position as the crown prince will be shaken."

After all, both Li Ke and Li Tai were clearly planning to kill the prince. If Li Shimin hadn't made any moves, what would others think?Yes, the eldest son is the natural heir, but the identity of the eldest son is not reliable in front of the throne.

Before Li Shimin said anything, a gentle but firm voice came from outside the door: "Saint, you can't do this."

Li Ke turned his head and looked at the door. Empress Changsun came slowly in a gorgeous palace attire. The medicine should have been given to Li Chengqian earlier, otherwise, who knows if there will be any accidents?

"Didn't Fengyu tell you that you need to rest more? Why are you here?" Li Shimin walked over and gently helped Empress Changsun to sit down.

Empress Changsun didn't answer, but just looked at Li Ke and said, "Sanlang, we know that this matter has nothing to do with you, the saint will naturally clear your name."

"My lady." Li Ke smiled bitterly: "How can such a thing be proved?"

Empress Changsun had a look of determination between her brows: "That can't just be like this, the people behind the scenes must be found out, otherwise who knows which prince will suffer next time?"

Li Ke's eyebrows stretched: "I was thinking wrong, but the most urgent thing is to clean up Shiro's grievances. This matter doesn't have much to do with me. He is... a lady?"

Li Ke looked at Empress Changsun's flushed eyes for a moment and was a little confused. Then, as if he knew something, he looked at Li Shimin hesitantly, and found that Li Shimin's expression was also very heavy, and Li Ke's face suddenly became extremely pale. : "This... this is impossible, Shiro..."

"Don't worry about this matter. I know you want to take it for Dalang's sake. You are a good boy." Empress Changsun tried not to let her tears fall but said, "But Shiro, Shiro..."

"Don't mention that traitor!" Li Shimin's eyes were also red, one was really sad, and the other was that he was very distressed to see his wife in such a state.

Li Ke analyzed it in his heart and finally said: "Father, it seems that not many people know about this matter, so... let's stop here, I'm afraid Changsun Huan will have no way to get out, Shiro... Shiro will let you He wants to be a governor or something, just stay away from Chang'an."

The expression on Li Shimin's face became a little indifferent: "Should you let him go out and continue to curse your brother?"

Just as Li Ke was about to say something, he suddenly saw Cong An walking in from the outside with a serious expression on his face: "Sage, Shiro has been brought here, and just now..."

Li Shimin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "What?"

Cong An glanced at Li Ke with some hesitation, but still said: "I just found something in Wei Wang's mansion, with the birth date of Saburo and Jiulang on it."

"What?" Li Ke was really stunned, who the hell is this?This is to punish Li Tai to death.

"This evil beast!" Li Shimin's calm appearance was finally broken, he slapped hard on the table in front of him bitterly, and the eldest grandson empress beside him was pale, tears finally couldn't hold back and fell in clusters: "Shiro...how could..."

"Guanyin maidservant, go back and rest first, I'll interrogate that rebellious son!"

Although Empress Changsun looked weak and might faint at any time, she still said firmly: "Bring him here, I also want to know Shiro...how did Shiro become like this."

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin and then at the eldest grandson empress, smartly did not speak, and played the image of a severely beaten brother very well. When Li Shimin raised his eyes and saw this son who was also on the verge of collapse, he couldn't help feeling very pity in his heart.

He didn't let Li Ke go. Now is not the time to protect his son. Li Shimin is very satisfied with Li Ke. He is smart and capable. Satisfied, that is, Li Ke is too emphatic about love and righteousness. Of course, this is an advantage, but if he is too soft-hearted, it is not a good thing. It happens that Li Ke also needs a little shocking education.

Li Tai was quickly brought over, and as soon as he entered the door, Li Tai rushed over to hug Li Shimin's leg and cried, "Daddy, daddy, my son was wronged, son didn't want to curse three Brother and ninth brother, I don't know how those things are in my palace."

Li Shimin stood there looking indifferently at his fourth son, who he liked so much in the past. Li Tai, as his son-in-law, is also very smart and good at reading. He naturally likes it, but even if he likes the same, there is a difference. The first in my heart is naturally his eldest son Li Chengqian, the second is Li Ke, the third is not Li Tai but his youngest son Li Zhi, and the fourth is Li Tai.

As a result, Li Tai cursed all his favorite sons all over the place. Li Shimin said that he was not disappointed, but the most important thing was that he thought of more. Anyone who can compete with him will be cursed by him. If these people are really...then in the end he will be the logical candidate for the crown prince, which makes Li Shimin start to be vigilant.

Although Li Chengqian sits on the seat of prince, Li Shimin actually owns it. He can only be the prince whoever he asks to be the prince. Li Shimin's throne was snatched by himself, so he can think of many possibilities—how fresh Ah, wasn't Li Shimin's prince position also snatched in the same way back then?

The difference is that he fought with Li Jiancheng with real swords and guns at that time, while Li Tai chose another method, but it was better to come directly with real swords and guns, at least it would make Li Shimin feel that Li Tai had something to do. this courage.

Li Tai cried for a long time but did not wait for any reaction from Li Shimin, so he turned his head and crawled to Empress Changsun and continued to cry for grievances. Li Ke looked at Li Tai's clothes that were always flat and wrinkled, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. The winner is the prince and the loser Thief, Li Tai will be defeated sooner or later, but this time it is a little earlier.

Empress Changsun closed her eyes in pain and did not speak. The only person who could make a decision at this time was Li Shimin, and Li Shimin finally said, "Bring those things up."

So a guard came directly with a big bag and put it on the ground and opened it back. Those things were just dug out. Li Ke didn't dare to move them, but with his eyesight, he could tell that those things were no longer new. Well, at least not recently.

Li Ke glanced at Li Tai thoughtfully. Li Tai sat there with a pale face. Zhuangruo rushed over madly, pinched Li Ke's neck with a pair of fat hands and shouted mournfully: "It's you, you framed me!"

"Come on, pull him down!" Li Shimin's face was gloomy. He had already thought of many things just now. These things seemed to have been buried for a long time, and Li Ke had indeed just narrowly escaped death. No one would believe it was a coincidence!

Li Ke's force value is much better than Li Tai's. Not only did he break free from Li Tai's grasp, he even handed him over to the guards. He looked up at Li Shimin for a while before saying, "Father, I... go back."

Li Shimin sighed: "Go." Li Ke's condition didn't look very good, thinking that although his son's wound was healed, but it was said that his vitality was hurt, Li Shimin decided to let Li Ke go back first.

When Li Ke returned to the palace, he saw Pei Xuan lying on his bed again. Recently, Pei Xuan suddenly liked to become a prototype and rushed over, which was really sweet and distressing.

Li Ke hugged Pei Xuan while petting the cat and talked about today's events. Just when he was wondering who it was, he heard the white cat in his arms say lazily: "Who else? Of course it is me La."

Li Ke: Excuseme
