On the night of the attack on Yanhuang College, Li Zexuan learned of the general situation and immediately asked Li Tai about Li Gang's injuries. At the time, Li Tai said that Li Gang had only suffered some minor injuries and that his body was fine. Only then did Li Zexuan feel slightly relieved!
Later on, Li Tai asked Li Zexuan to send an imperial edict via telegram, allowing Li Zexuan to mobilize the soldiers of the northern provinces and counties. Setting up ambushes at the main passes to prevent Wu Jie from escaping the Great Tang, Li Zexuan thought that since nothing major had happened at the Academy, the most important thing would be to deal with Wu Jie. At the very least, he would have to take back the Academy's secret files from Wu Jie!
What happened next was somewhat out of his expectations. Firstly, Wu Jie only used a little more than a day to rush from Lantian County to Dragon Gate Pass. At that time, Li Zexuan had just taken over the security of Dragon Gate Pass with an army of ten thousand. From the time he was stationed there to the first battle between the two sides, only a few hours had passed. Wu Jie's speed caught Li Zexuan off guard.
Second, Xu Tingda had led ten thousand soldiers from Bingzhou's Zhichong House to Yanmen Pass. Many of the soldiers hadn't even had time to rest before Yanmen Pass was attacked by Ashina She 'er's fifty thousand elite wolf cavalry. Their numbers were inferior to that of the Turks, and coupled with the haste of the battle, the defenders of Yanmen Pass were quickly routed. As a result, Ashina She' er's army didn't have to spend much time to enter the Great Tang's territory!
These two unexpected events had almost caused Longmen Pass to fall, and even caused the Yanhuang College's files to almost fall back into Wu Jie's hands! Fortunately, Xue Rengui and Xuan Qing had stepped in at the critical moment to help, and Wang Renbiao's thirty thousand Qizhou soldiers had also arrived!
Last night, when Li Zexuan woke up from his coma and learned of what had happened at Longmen Pass, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Could this be the 'protagonist' of Heaven's blessing?
"Little Xuan, His Highness King of Wei probably replied to you like that because he didn't want you to be distracted while dealing with Wu Jie in the north! Don't blame him! "
Li Zexuan found it difficult to accept this sudden news. Right at this moment, Qin Qiong walked over from somewhere and said in a low voice, "Before the army left, this old man made a trip to Yanhuang College. According to Mr. Kong Gui, Mr. Wen Ji's condition is indeed very serious. Now that the matter here has been settled, Little Xuan, you should quickly return to Cloud Mountain to take a look!"
Li Zexuan's expression was a little sluggish as he nodded and said, "Yes! Uncle Qin! I'll pack my luggage and hurry back to Cloud Mountain! "
Li Gang's serious illness was a huge blow to Li Zexuan. According to the original history, Li Gang died five years after Zhen Guan, which meant that Li Gang still had at least three years to live! But now, because he had temporarily handed the Academy over to Li Gang, Cloud Mountain had coincidentally been attacked by Wu Jie, causing Li Gang to be injured and bedridden. His life could even be at risk at any time. If not for Sun Simiao's superb medical skills, Li Gang would have already passed away!
Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh. He had changed history, but he had also changed the fate of many people! For example, Xu Ting Da and the ten thousand Tang soldiers who died at Yanmen Pass. If not for his existence, they would still be living well in Bing Province's Subjugation Residence. They were all brave and fearless soldiers of the Tang Empire, but because of his appearance, they died prematurely on the battlefield. There was also Li Gang. If not for his repeated pleas to the old man to come out, Li Gang would be comfortably teaching Li Chengqian in the Imperial Palace right now. How could he have encountered such a life and death crisis?
All of this made Li Zexuan feel guilty, and at the same time, a trace of confusion appeared in his heart. He felt that on his path to making the Great Tang even more prosperous, he had inadvertently taken the lives of many innocents. Even though he had done it unintentionally, the truth was that he was shouldering more and more lives. Li Zexuan suddenly felt that his shoulders were very, very heavy!
"Remember to call Daoist Xuanqing!"
Qin Qiong saw Li Zexuan's brow furrowed in pain, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat distressed, but he still loudly reminded him.
"I know, Uncle Qin!"
Li Zexuan didn't turn his head, only responded in a low voice.
Haaa! This child is good at everything, but sometimes his heart is too soft!
Qin Qiong stared at Li Zexuan's back, and after a long while, he shook his head and sighed.
… … …
"Teacher Wenji? It's Li Gang, right? "
After leaving the camp, Li Zexuan went up the city gate tower. In the eastern corner tower, Li Zexuan found Xuan Qing, who was meditating cross-legged. He briefly told Xuan Qing about Li Gang's serious illness and how Sun Simiao needed their martial uncle and nephew to go back together to help. After hearing this, Xuan Qing frowned and said,
"Then let's go back to Lantian immediately!"
Without any hesitation, Xuan Qing agreed to Li Zexuan's request.
Li Zexuan had spent so much effort before, but he didn't expect Xuan Qing to agree so easily. Li Zexuan couldn't get used to this "super efficient" communication method, so he was a little confused at this moment.
"What are you waiting for? You and I, quickly pack our luggage and go back to Lantian! "
Seeing Li Zexuan standing there in a daze, Xuan Qing couldn't help but frown and urge him.
"Yes! Little Martial Uncle! "
Li Zexuan came back to his senses and hurriedly cupped his hands in obeisance.
He couldn't help but think in his heart, "Little Martial Uncle's personality really hasn't changed. Not only is he a man of few words, but he is also swift and decisive. He is simply a model of doing more and talking less. The bosses of modern big companies must like a" real person "like Little Martial Uncle!"
In fact, in Xuan Qing's opinion, Li Gang had been the imperial tutor of two princes and had a good reputation among the scholars. Now that he was injured and even bedridden because of Li Zexuan's Yanhuang College, he, as his martial uncle, had to go and help no matter what! Besides, the purpose of his trip down the mountain this time was to visit Li Er in the Imperial Palace, tracking Wu Jie was just a "Side Quest" he had issued for himself. Now that the "Side Quest" had been completed, it was time for him to return to the "Main Quest".
"Little Xuan, Taoist Xuan Qing, where are you going?"
Martial Uncle and nephew had finished packing their luggage and had just brought their mounts from the stables when they met Wang Renbiao. Wang Renbiao saw that Li Zexuan and Xuan Qing were both carrying a bag and couldn't help but ask.
There was another person behind him, and that was Leng Yuyao!
Seeing that the person who came was Wang Renbiao, Li Zexuan couldn't help but be startled. Then, he felt ashamed. If it wasn't for Wang Renbiao leading the army in time yesterday, it was unknown whether or not Longmen Pass could be completely defended! Wang Renbiao was willing to take the risk of being suspected by his superiors and lead the army of Qizhou to support Longmen Pass two or three times. Li Zexuan didn't even have time to thank him and almost directly returned to Lantian County without saying anything. He really didn't do it properly and felt sorry for Wang Renbiao's deep friendship!
"Uh! It's Renbiao! You've come at the right time. I have something to tell you! "
Li Zexuan coughed awkwardly and then shamelessly said with some apology, "I just received news from Qingque that Teacher Wen Ji suffered some minor injuries in order to protect the Academy that night. Due to his old age, he was bedridden and now his life is in danger. As the Yamachō of Yanhuang College and my Youngest Martial Uncle is quite proficient in medical skills, we must return to Yunshan as soon as possible to save Teacher Wen Ji's life!"
Wang Renbiao was shocked when he heard that. His expression was serious and he said with some worry, "Is there such a thing? Teacher Wen Ji is an upright person and has always been clean as an official. As a teacher, he has noble character and unquestionable integrity. He is one of the people I admire the most in my life. Since this is the case, Little Xuan, you and Taoist Xuan Qing should return to Yunshan as soon as possible! As for Longmen Pass, General Qin and I will take care of the aftermath. You don't have to worry! "
Li Zexuan heaved a sigh of relief and then said with a guilty expression, "Renbiao, you led the army from hundreds of miles away to help us. As your brother, I wanted to host a banquet and drink with you to express my gratitude. However, now that Teacher Wen Ji …"
"Little Xuan, you don't have to say anymore!"
Wang Renbiao did not let Li Zexuan continue. Instead, he interrupted him, "Little Xuan, you and I are brothers. There's no need for formalities between us. Whether it's wine or food, they are all just external things. Since we are brothers, why should we care about such formalities? After such a big thing happened at Yunshan, you should indeed return to the Academy. How can I not understand this? You can go with peace of mind! If it weren't for the fact that I can't leave here, I would also want to go back to Yunshan with you to visit Teacher Wen Ji! "
"Thank you for your understanding, Renbiao! With a brother like this, what more can I, Li Zexuan, ask for? "
Li Zexuan was touched as he saluted Wang Renbiao and said.
