The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

After waking up in the wounded soldiers' camp, Sect Leader Xi immediately listened to Wang Xinyi's report on the intelligence that was coming in from all over the place.

After listening to the briefing, crows flew over Master Xi's head, leaving behind a row of dense black dots.

She was full of doubts: I have seen people destroy the Great Wall, but I have never seen anyone as outrageous as Li Yuan. Conquering the world, he dismissed his own son, the most capable commander, and put him under house arrest?

Sect Leader Xi scratched his head. History had already changed beyond all recognition, but this change still came too fast like a tornado.

Sect Leader Xi lifted the thin blanket from her body. No matter what guilt or nightmare it was, now that Xi Mingming had woken up, she would just keep moving forward with determination.

Xi Mingming, who was no longer trapped in the nightmare, knew it very well.

The Central Plains wants to speed up unification, and the people want to recuperate quickly, so they cannot avoid war, and war will result in deaths, large-scale deaths.

In all her killings, she could not just focus on the Turkic cavalrymen lying at her feet and forget the charred corpses and body parts that once filled the city.

Who should those dead people from the Central Plains seek justice from?

.

Sect Leader Xi, whose emotions had stabilized again, paced back and forth in the military tent.

After stopping, she asked Wang Xinyi cautiously, "Is Li Yuan trying to confuse me? He plans to have me march south to attack Taiyuan... and then send Li Shimin's surprise attack?"

In history, Li Shimin's 3,000 black-armored soldiers were good at dealing with all kinds of disobedience, and they won countless battles with fewer troops.

What? Are the Li family planning to use this tactic on her?

Wang Xinyi awkwardly suggested: "Regarding this matter... Master, would you like to interrogate Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling first?"

"How is this related to Kou Zhongziling? Call them over."

"They are kneeling outside the door to plead guilty. I will go and call for help."

Kneeling down and asking for forgiveness, what had they done? Didn't they just accompany Aunt Fang to Hedong County and kowtow to Mother Zhao?

.

"That's it."

Sect Leader Xi sat on a simple hospital bed with his big horse and golden sword, which made the military tent of the wounded soldiers look like a mirror in the hall.

After hearing this, Sect Leader Xi showed no change of expression and slowly raised his eyelids.

She calmly concluded, "To put it simply, you two were taking Aunt Fang back from Hedong via Taiyuan. The Bingzhou governor, the Prince of Qi, Li Yuanji, raided the inn where you were staying at night and offended Aunt Fang."

The air in the military tent seemed to freeze. Sect Leader Xi said softly, "So you stayed in Taiyuan and inquired from various sources, and learned some things about Li Yuanji."

"For example, when he was born, his biological mother was unwilling to raise him and ordered the servants to abandon him. It was his wet nurse who took him home and raised him, so that Li Yuanji would not die in infancy. Such a lifesaver was killed by him because she advised him to be a good person."

Kou Zhong nodded: "Yes. I am not making this up, Master. If you go to Taiyuan and ask around, you will find that many people know about this."

Sect Leader Xi ignored him and continued, "You have only been in Taiyuan for five days, and Li Yuanji has been shooting arrows at the people in the street twice for fun?"

Xu Ziling replied: "Yes."

"Randomly raiding civilians' homes at night and raping their wives and daughters?"

Xu Ziling had a forbearing look on his face, and it was unknown what he was recalling.

He tried his best to restrain himself and replied quietly: "Yes."

Sect Leader Xi stood up suddenly and said expressionlessly, "So you investigated so much, the facts are clear, and the evidence is sufficient. In the end - you, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, you two losers only injured the beast, but didn't kill him!"

Kou Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to plead guilty, but when he heard this, he looked up and said, "We only seriously injured him, which was very restrained. Master... Kill... Kill him?"

Kou Zhong jumped up in surprise, "Master, are we going to attack that old fellow Li Yuan? He wanted to punish us two, but I heard that it was Li who stopped him."

Are you a little too self-indulgent?

Wasn't the conflict between the Li family father and son the cause of Liu Wenjing's death? In history, this incident was one of the triggers for the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

"Somebody come!"

Wang Xin, who was standing outside the door, lifted the curtain and walked in, "Sect Master."

"Take the military stick."

"Yes."

.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were tied to the execution platform and beaten by the executioner with sticks. The two were hit with thirty military sticks and their skin was torn.

Sect Leader Xi, who almost fainted from suffocation, saw them both being beaten with military sticks and asked with a dark face, "Do you know why you were beaten like this? Kou Zhong, tell me."

Kou Zhong, who was being beaten, didn't know why he wanted to laugh.

He did have a silly grin on his face.

This was the first time that he and Ziling did something wrong and the elders got angry and beat them.

Kou Zhong was crying “Ouch, ouch” while sticking to his butt, while stealing glances at his master.

Sect Leader Xi had an extremely grim expression from beginning to end.

Kou Zhong stopped crying out in pain and answered hesitantly, "Because Ziling and I failed to protect Aunt Fang."

Sect Leader Xi: ...Kou Zhong is a kid who still needs to be taught.

From what he said, he thought that the Border Town Army was not ready to break off relations with Li Tang for the time being, so he chose to endure it.

Xu Ziling was even worse, he was always easily led by Kou Zhong.

The worst thing about these two people is that no one asked Aunt Fang, the victim, for her opinion. Perhaps it was a good thing for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling not to let outsiders pay too much attention to Aunt Fang.

But when I relayed this matter to the Master, I didn't mention Aunt Fang's opinion, which was very problematic!

It really deserves a fight!

.

"Xu Ziling, go ahead."

The two of them had just been beaten, and they didn't dare to use their true energy to resist. Otherwise, if the master attacked them personally, they would be in even greater misery.

Xu Ziling carefully recalled his master's summary and suddenly his face froze.

He hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "If Master's purpose in conquering the world is to let his relatives and the people suffer humiliation and not get justice... then Master would rather not have this world."

When Yuchi Jingde heard that the sect leader had just woken up, he became furious and rushed over.

Hearing this, he continued, "Your master hates bullying the weak the most in his life, whether it's based on family background or force... You should kill Li Yuanji on the spot, send his head to Chang'an, and present it to Li Yuan in person."

When Li Jing and others heard that the leader had woken up, they all rushed to the wounded camp. They also heard that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had angered the leader, so they quickly transferred him to the execution platform.

When she heard the name Li Yuanji, Hongfu felt disgusted.

She frowned and said, "I know this Li Yuanji best. If he wasn't Li Yuan's legitimate son, regardless of national law, family law, or military law, he would be beheaded a hundred times."

Sect Leader Xi said calmly: "Even if he is Li Yuan's legitimate son, he should be punished according to the law. If the Li Tang Dynasty has no law to punish the King of Qi, I will do it according to the Border Town Management Regulations."

.

The post-war summary meeting of Border Town was formally held.

In the Battle of Asamizuhara, the Battle of Capturing Jincheng, and the Counterattack on Eastern Turks, the generals reflected on and summarized the various advantages and disadvantages of both sides' military strength, weapons, intelligence, and mobility in battle.

This summary took almost a whole day.

At the end of the meeting, Wang Xinyi gave a report.

This report does not need to be as detailed as the one given to Master Xi. It only needs to objectively state the current status of the armies and armaments of all parties.

Afterwards, the Xi clan leader ordered Wang Xinyi: "Pass my imperial edict back to Shanyang, and have General Gao send an envoy to Chang'an at full speed to ask Emperor Wude to hand over the criminal Li Yuanji."

Wang Xinyi took the order and left.

Sect Leader Xi just woke up. She asked, "Manager Li, when will the collective military funeral for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the border town be held?"

Li Jing replied in a deep voice: "It will be held at noon on the third day."

"Is the tombstone ready? If not, I will take responsibility. I want to carve the names of all the fallen soldiers on it myself."

Hong Fu Nu couldn't bear it: "Sect Master."

The military doctor did say that the sect leader was just too tired and fell asleep, but the military doctor also said privately that the sect leader was seriously injured.

Xi Mingming shook his head, thanked everyone for their caring looks, and said softly and firmly: "They are heroes, and their names should be remembered by the world, including me, the clan leader. Let me do it."
