Chapter 953
Back in the palace, Li Er asked Li Fu: "Li Fu, did you find anything unusual about the palace maid Lin Wan'er I asked you to investigate?"

Li Fu shook his head and said: "Reporting to Father, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that Lin Wan'er. I don't think she is a bad person."

Li Er nodded and said, "Okay, then don't worry about her."

Li Fu was startled, he hastily knelt down, and said: "Father, please forgive my incompetence, I really have no interest in these court struggles, I beg my father to take back my order."

Li Er frowned slightly and said: "Li Fu, I know that you have always been very disgusted with politics, but this time, you can't help it. Listen, you have to do this this time."

Li Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Father, I really don't want to. I hope that Father will choose someone else."

"I have decided that I will send you to handle this matter in person this time. No pushback will be allowed."

"This." Li Fu hesitated.

Li Er said coldly: "What is this? What I have decided has never changed. You just need to do what I say."

Li Fu was startled, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than follow orders."

"Yeah." Li Er nodded.

Li Fu withdrew from the royal study, stood outside and took a few deep breaths. He knew that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone had high hopes for him.

It's just that he really doesn't want to take this hot potato.

Li Fu lingered outside the imperial study for a long time before he raised his feet and walked towards the imperial garden. When he entered the imperial garden, he found someone sitting in the gazebo drinking tea, and he recognized this person as his father.

He walked slowly into the pavilion, bowed and said: "I pay my respects to my father."

Li Er put down his teacup and said, "Get on your back."

Li Fu stood up and asked, "Father, what do you mean by asking your son to come to the Imperial Garden?"

"Oh, I just saw that your complexion was not good, so I wanted to ask if you were sick."

Li Fu shook his head, and said: "My son is in good health, and he is not sick, but he was taken aback by His Majesty's sudden call just now."

Li Fu was right, Li Er really surprised him just now.

Because he not only found Li Fu wandering outside in the imperial garden, but also found that Li Fu's complexion was extremely bad, and his eyes were red, as if he had been crying all night.

Li Fu felt distressed, was he such an unbearable person in the eyes of his father?
But Li Fu didn't dare to show it on his face, because he was afraid that his father would be angry.

Li Er saw that Li Fu didn't want to speak, so he didn't force him anymore, and said, "Li Fu, you also know that the situation in the court is changing during this time."

"Many ministers are impeaching you, saying that you don't look like a prince, and every move involves public outrage. If you don't want to get involved with them, then leave."

"Father." Li Fu panicked when he heard this.

How could he just leave like this.

"Li Fu, you are not young anymore. You should no longer stay by my side."

"You are a generation of princes, you can't just guard by my side, and I can't protect you forever, if you are willing to do this, then you can rest assured."

"But you have to remember one thing, you are my prince, and you cannot give up your principles and bottom line just because of what these people say."

"You can choose to inherit the throne, you can choose to be in charge of the army, or you can choose to be an ordinary person. In short, you can't back down just because of their words. This is an insult to you, do you understand?"

"Understood." Li Fu nodded, and said, "Thank you, Father, for reminding me."

"Go and prepare, I will announce the news that you are about to leave later, you can prepare to leave."

"According to the order."

When Li Fu left the imperial study, his heart was full of loss and sadness, because this time he had completely given up, but he was unwilling to give up.

He still wants to fight hard again, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability, and he doesn't have this opportunity, he is doomed to lose, and there is no chance to stand up again.

He returned to his palace, changed into casual clothes, and quietly left Chang'an City.

After Li Fu left the capital, he came to a deserted Zhuangzi.

Although Zhuangzi was deserted, there were quite a few things planted there. Li Fu found a farmer to borrow a carriage and drove out of the city with his parcels.

The owner of the villa is an old man in his 60s and [-]s. He looks very honest. He was very happy when he heard that Li Fu was leaving.

He hurriedly prepared a luxurious carriage for Li Fu, and took out a lot of grain, vegetables, meat and fruits to lead Li Fu, so that Li Fu could enjoy it.

Li Fu sat in the carriage with mixed feelings in his heart.

This trip can be said to be the most important turning point in his life. He may never be able to enter the palace again, or even return to his own country.

And he was about to become an ordinary soldier of Datang, which made him very unhappy.

He sighed secretly, and he couldn't help but start to wonder if he would never have the chance to become an emperor in this life?
Li Fu shook his head, and drove the coachman to leave quickly in the carriage, unwilling to continue thinking about this matter.

Soon, Li Fu left Chang'an City and took the imperial edict given to him by the emperor. He would join the Tang Border Guard Army and become an ordinary soldier.

……

Li Fu stayed in the Datang Frontier Army for a few months, and he always existed as an ordinary soldier. Until recently, he became a small commander.

On this day, suddenly, a small army came from the west from the forest.

Li Fu rushed forward with his soldiers, and the two sides fought. Li Fu's men and horses suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers were injured.

"General, let's retreat quickly." These soldiers were all terrified by the scene before them, and suggested to Li Fu one after another.

Li Fu glanced at the pile of fallen corpses behind him, with strong hatred rising in his heart, he ordered loudly to his soldiers:
"Brothers, kill me! I don't believe that under the siege of such a group of mobs, our entire army will be wiped out."

"The general is so brave!" Upon hearing Li Fu's words, these soldiers immediately cheered up, picked up their swords and joined the battle, fighting to the death with the enemy.

Not long after, more than [-] soldiers under Li Fu had died, and the rest did not dare to join the battle easily.

Because they know that if they continue to fight like this, sooner or later they will be wiped out by the small enemy force on the opposite side, and they will eventually be slaughtered.

Li Fu looked around and found that the number of people on the opposite side was no bigger than his.

But their tactics are very strange. Once they get into a hard battle, they will use these strange tactics to destroy their soldiers and put themselves in a desperate situation.
