Chapter 3652: Hatred is as deep as the sea
Chang'an City, Yanshoufang.
Changsun Wuji was leaning on crutches and dragging his injured leg. He stood on the street and looked at a headless body on the ground. His whole body was shaking slightly, his eyelids were beating constantly, his cheek muscles were squirming, and his eyes were red and swollen with bloodshot eyes. , obviously trying his best to suppress his sadness.
Yesterday there was news that Changsun Anye was intercepted and killed by Fang Jun in Yanling Pass when he was returning from Luoyang. Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood while ordering people to quickly return Changsun Anye's body. Send the elite cavalry of the tribe to search for Fang Jun's traces along the ancient Shangyu Road. Once discovered, he will be killed without mercy!
Today, the body of Changsun Anye was sent back...
When Changsun Jiaqing died, Changsun Wuji was more angry than sad, but now looking at the headless body of Changsun Anye, he was more sad than angry.
Although he was not born of the same mother, after his father died, he was ostracized and abused by his stepmother and several brothers. He had no choice but to live with his younger sister in the Duke of Shen's Mansion. Although Gao Shilian was very kind to their sisters, the life of living under the fence was always unsatisfactory. It's wonderful that it was Changsun Anye who came secretly from time to time and gave him some money, so that he would have more money and not feel resentful towards Changsun's family.
For so many years, he has been worried about this young brother. Even when the eldest son Anye made a big mistake and was exiled to Lingnan by His Majesty Li Er, the eldest son Wuji also paid a lot of benefits to entrust Feng An, the general manager of Gaozhou, to take good care of the eldest son Anye. .
In this incident, he originally wanted to recall his eldest grandson Anye and make some contributions, so that when the new emperor ascended the throne and discussed his merits and rewards, he could be free of guilt and enter the center.
Unexpectedly, the younger brother was buried on the "Nanxiao Road" and his head was missing...
Yu Wenjie saw that he was too sad and was afraid that he would give up the idea of peace talks in anger, so he took two steps forward and whispered to dissuade him: "People cannot be resurrected after death. I hope Zhao Guogong will express his condolences and take care of himself. Now that we have already Send elite cavalry to attack Fang Jun, and there will surely be good news soon. The situation is unpredictable now, and we need to focus on the overall situation.”
Thinking that last night Changsun Wuji sent the remaining elite cavalry of the Changsun family to the ancient Shangyu Road and issued a killing order, he became worried.
Although they are now their own masters, and the friendship back then has long faded, and the differences between him and Fang Jun have become more and more serious in recent years, he is a nostalgic person. Thinking about the close friendship at the beginning, Fang Jun soon wanted to He died tragically under the sword, and his past achievements were all in vain. I really couldn't help but feel sad...
Changsun Wuji was a very human being after all. He who tried to suppress himself felt sad in his heart, and said slowly: "For the time being, store the body in a righteous village outside the city, prepare a good coffin, and bury it after the enemy has beheaded him and his head has been found."
He must never let such a broken body of his younger brother be buried, let alone let his enemy live freely. Otherwise, if his younger brother were to entrust him with a dream in Jiuyou Underworld and ask him why he ignored brotherhood, he would be speechless...
"Here!"
The clan members took their servants to bury the body of their eldest grandson Anye, and put it in a coffin. Eight big men carried the coffin and walked out of the city.
Changsun Wuji stood and watched for a while, until the team was far away and his vision was blocked by the wall. Then he sighed, turned around and walked back to the hall tremblingly.
Yu Wenjie stood behind him and suddenly realized that this great man who once dominated the court and now single-handedly stirred up Guan Zhongyun and controlled the empire was already so old. His aging body was trembling and unsteady even when he walked. His pale hair was blown to pieces by the cold wind. His stooped waist was no longer as straight as a gun. His vicious and fierce aura was swaying like a candle in the wind. ……
He looked up at the clear sky. Winter was about to pass and spring was about to come.
Perhaps, times have changed.
……
In the side hall, Changsun Wuji endured the pain of his injured leg. He sat down behind the desk with difficulty, put his crutches aside, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of hot tea. The hot tea went down his throat and into his abdomen, and the coldness all over his body was dispelled. People seemed to come to life just now.
Seeing Yu Wenjie approaching with a worried look on his face, he waved his hands, let out a long breath of cold air, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I have a magnificent life. What kind of things have I not gone through, what kind of pain have I not experienced? Dear relatives, Mourning is certainly painful Although I have a strong heart and spleen, I will not let my anger take over my mind and make foolish moves. Peace talks are necessary and I agree with Guan Long's interests and can continue. I will not change my mind because of the tragic death of my brother."
After a pause, he gritted his molar teeth and said, "But I will never let this matter go! My brother just arrived at Yanling Pass and stayed overnight in the pass. As a result, he was attacked and killed by Fang Jun in the middle of the night. This matter is quite serious." Weird! Even though Fang Jun happened to be going to Luoyang, the two of them Without meeting each other, how could Fang Jun arrive so quickly and attack so accurately? Cheng Yaojin escorted my brother to Nanxiao Road in name, but he may not have been in contact with Fang Jun secretly. , it’s hard for him to get away with it.”
Although the eldest grandson Anye's head was missing, many of his accompanying soldiers fled back. He explained the situation in detail. When he heard that Li Ji had not responded to Guan Long's solicitation, he ordered Cheng Yaojin to escort the eldest grandson. When Anye arrived at "Nanxiao Road", Fang Jun suddenly appeared at Yanling Pass that night, blew up the pass, and assassinated the eldest son Anye. Changsun Wuji guessed that there must be more than a coincidence.
Yu Wenjie frowned and asked: "What you mean, Duke Zhao, is that Cheng Yaojin wanted to help Fang Jun persuade the British to vote for the East Palace, so he leaked the whereabouts of General Changsun, causing Fang Jun to attack and kill him in the middle of the night, so that you could vent his anger on him." The British Duke, destroy the alliance between Guanlong and the British Duke?”
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible...
It is impossible for Li Ji to rebel. The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time. The Li Tang royal family has a high reputation in the government and the public, and is supported by the whole country. The country has long been as stable as Mount Tai. Anyone who dares to rebel will be punished by the whole world! Even the Guanlong clan who single-handedly created the Wei, Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties did not dare to rebel openly and had to support King Qi to ascend to power and act as a puppet. How could Li Ji risk the disapproval of the world?
Since they don't dare to rebel, Donggong and Guanlong can only choose one or the other in the end.
Either the East Palace or Guanlong, there is no other way.
As long as Changsun Wuji is angry with Li Ji because of the death of Changsun Anye and completely cuts off the possibility of an alliance between the two parties, then regardless of whether Li Ji is satisfied with the East Palace, he can only choose the East Palace to assist in the end, and he will completely become a quarrel with Guanlong...
Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Yu Wenjie asked again: "So, the death of General Changsun actually had nothing to do with Li Ji, but was just a secret collusion between Lu Guogong and Fang Jun?"
Changsun Wuji put down the tea cup, shook his head, and said with a gloomy expression: "We don't know the truth yet, so naturally we can't simply confirm it. Even if it is true, they have underestimated my magnanimity and magnanimity. As long as it is beneficial to Guan Long, they will kill my brother. So what about the hatred? Regardless of whether the British public is involved in this case, I will forget about it and only kill Fang Jun! As for Cheng Yaojin... we will talk about it later."

Inside the heavy door.
Although today is a rare sunny day, the north wind does not stop, and the two tall gate towers of Xuanwu Gate and Neizhong Gate are still dark and bitingly cold.
When Li Junxian rushed all the way to the prince's residence, Li Chengqian was discussing peace talks with Xiao Yu and Ma Zhou. When he saw Li Junxian hurriedly entered, he was shocked and asked hurriedly: "But what happened?"< br>
Li Junxian stepped forward to salute, and then said succinctly: "The Duke of Yue went to Luoyang. On the way, he learned that Changsun Anye went to the British Duke's office on the order of Changsun Wuji to try to persuade the British Duke to form an alliance with Guanlong. Therefore, the Duke of Yue sent him to Luoyang. Attack and kill, intending to destroy the potential of their alliance!"
There was silence in the hall.
After a long while, Li Chengqian closed his grown-up mouth and said in surprise: "Erlang...killed the eldest grandson Anye?"
Li Junxian nodded: "Officially take his head and defeat his army. Now Changsun Anye's body has been transported to Chang'an City, but his head is missing. Changsun Wuji is extremely angry. He sent the elite cavalry from his clan to Shang last night." On the ancient road, I intend to intercept and kill the Duke of Yue and avenge his brother!”
"Ah?!"
Li Chengqian was shocked. He stood up from behind the desk and walked out with an anxious look on his face: "How many people did Changsun Wuji send? Is Erlang in danger?"
Xiao Yu and Ma Zhou couldn't sit still anymore and looked over together.
Although the former had quite an affair with Fang Jun, the petty dispute at that time was not worth mentioning compared to the overall situation. Now Fang Jun is the mainstay of the East Palace, leading the Youtun Guards, Anxi Army, and Tubo Huqi to guard Xuanwu. The door is so impregnable that no one can open it. Together with Li Jing, inside and outside, they help protect the East Palace.
If Fang Jun dies, not to mention the morale of the Youtun guards plummeting and the morale of the army collapsing, the tens of thousands of Tubo Huqi may also have to leave immediately. The entire armed force of the East Palace will suffer heavy losses and be in a state of collapse... (End of this chapter)
