"Your Majesty, the minister delayed the fight, which caused His Majesty to this point. I am a sinner, please kill me."

Xiegu is located at an important pass in Mei County (now Mei County), and it guards the important transportation route between Guanzhong and Sichuan. This place is under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Prefecture, and to the south is Xingyuan Prefecture (i.e. Hanzhong, but its jurisdiction also includes parts of northern Sichuan and northeastern Sichuan).

At this time, a few miles before the Xigu Pass, flags covered the sun, and the soldiers with high military appearance were on both sides of the official road. In front of the army, a white-haired old man wearing a rosy (bi, four-tone) official uniform and wearing a silver sword on his waist were kneeling in front of the young Emperor Xizong Li Yan crying.

When Li Yan saw the crying old man in front of him, he was also moved and quickly helped the loyal minister in front of him.

"This is not Zheng Qing's fault. I will go to Xingyuan first to avoid it. Zheng Qing, you must stick to the barrier of the rebels' advance."

When the old man heard this, he immediately said righteously, "The old man is dedicated to serving the country and dies. Please do not worry about the affairs of the East. But I am afraid that many things will not be asked for instructions from Your Majesty in time, and ask Your Majesty to allow me to do things at a disadvantage."

"I am allowed to report. As long as it is beneficial to the court and to suppress the rebellion, Zheng Qing will do it."

Li Yan agreed without thinking, and Tian Lingzi and others next to him couldn't stop him, so they could only look at the "Shangfang Sword" given by the old man in front of him.

"I have prepared delicious food in the pass. Your Majesty and his group are exhausted. I think they are exhausted. You can rest in the pass for one night and go to Xingyuan. I will lead the army to hold this place. After Your Majesty arrives in Xingyuan, we will assemble troops to fight the rebels."

"It's Zheng Qing who is willing!" Hearing the minister in front of him, Li Yan directly treated the other party as his life-savior, and gave it to the other party as his power.

The second-rank official in front of him was former prime minister Zheng Qi. He was demoted to the prince's guest for how to quell the Huang Chao rebellion. Later, the Huang Chao uprising became increasingly large and captured several counties in Huainan. Zheng Qi was re-activated and appointed him as the Minister of Rites. Soon he was appointed Fengxiang, the governor of Longyou, and the governor of Fengxiang and Longyou.

When Huang Chao captured Tongguan, Li Yan fled from Chang'an with hundreds of people. On the way, he encountered the rebellion of the Shence Army soldiers. He did not dare to stay too much along the way, and was worried. It was not until Zheng Ting led his army to greet him that Li Yan's heart was at ease. Zheng Ting was the first minister to come to meet him along the way. Li Yan's natural favor for him increased greatly. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was his life-saving benefactor.

"Your Highness, we are finally safe!"

Looking at the army in front of him, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh, and he was very happy, and the heart hanging in his arms finally landed. Not only him, but the others who accompanied him were relieved, and finally no longer had to live a wandering life. Although the Xigu was still far from Chengdu, it was not necessary to escape in a panic like the previous few days, and sleep in the open, which was very difficult.

"It's safe, but this is just the beginning." Li Ye looked at the army in front of him and murmured in a low voice.

Li Ye was right, the Huang Chao Rebellion was just the beginning. This rebellion really set off the curtain for the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty. One by one, the characters from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms began to appear one after another, and their performances began during the decades of turbulent storms.

Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, Wang Jian, Li Maozhen, and Qian Miao all began to appear in the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, the world will be even more "exciting".

When they arrived in Xiegu Pass, the group could finally have a stable sleep, but Li Ye was not sleepy, so he picked up a book next to him, which was the "Book of Sui" written by Wei Zheng. After reading it a few times, he found that it was all traditional Chinese characters, so he couldn't recognize a few, so he put it aside.

At this time, it was drizzling outside the window. It was cold winter, and it was not cold when it snowed, but unexpectedly it was raining and the temperature dropped a lot. Fortunately, Zhang Wei put on the clothes for the cold before leaving, and he was not sleepy, so he went out wearing a marten fur coat.

"Your Highness, it's raining outside, are you?"

Before they left, Xiaoyue and Xiaoying, who were Li Ye's personal maids, were alarmed and rubbed their tired eyes. They looked at Li Ye who was about to leave, and then asked.

"You guys rest, go out alone for a walk." The two girls were leaning against the table for a nap just now. Li Ye also knew that the two girls were also very tired along the way, so he didn't wake them up, but unexpectedly he was still awakened.

After saying that, Li Ye walked out of the room and found that Li Hong was guarding outside the door with two guards. After a few days, Li Ye also had some understanding of Li Hong's character and was stubborn. As long as he decided, it would be difficult to change, just like Li Ye had advised him to sit down and have a meal together before, the other party disagreed, and finally Li Ye gave up.

When he came to the corridor, he reached out to feel the cold rain. When he saw a trace of broken ice melting in his hands, Li Ye understood why it was so cold. It turned out to be snow. It was different from the snow that could be clearly seen. The snow melted when it landed, so it gave people a very cold feeling.

Li Ye walked along the corridor, while Li Hong led two guards to follow after a few steps, without disturbing him to enjoy the night view. In the distance, where Li Yan and others were staying were still brightly lit and bursts of laughter came, but the conditions were simple, and Li Yan had no conditions to have fun.

"The rain gurgles outside the curtain, the spring is gone, and the silk quilt cannot withstand the coldest moment. I don't know that I am a guest in my dream, and I am greedy for a while.

Don’t rely on the railings to be independent. The infinite mountains and rivers are easy to see when they part. The flowing water falls and flowers are gone, and the sky is on earth."

Looking at the scenery in front of him and thinking about his situation at this time, Li Ye didn't know why he recited the song "Langtaosha Ling: The Rain of the Curtain" by Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although it was not very suitable, Li Ye suddenly understood some of the mood of Li Yu, the king of the destruction of the country. The Tang Dynasty seemed to exist at this time, but what is the difference between being destroyed?

"Good words, I didn't expect that His Highness Shou had such talent, which surprised me."

Just as Li Ye stood on the railing, clapping sounds sounded behind him, and then a few words of praise came. When Li Ye saw the visitor, he quickly bent down to salute.

"Mr. Zheng."

"King Shou, don't dare to do this. You are the prince, and the weak minister is the minister, so you should not be so generous." Li Ye's salute caught Zheng Yi off guard.

The person who came was Zheng Qi. He was originally from where Emperor Xizong was staying. He passed by this yard. Unexpectedly, he heard Li Ye chanting a very artistic lyric. He also loved poetry. Although he was not good at lyrics, he wrote a lot of poems. Apart from his official position, he could be regarded as a poet. When he heard the young Li Ye sang such a good lyric, he was a little curious, and came to greet him regardless of the taboos of the ministers and the prince in private.

"Mr. Zheng deserves Xiao Wang's worship. Xiao Wang is in trouble and flees westward with the emperor's brother. If Master Zheng did not lead the army to welcome him, we might have to continue living a life of displaced escape." Li Ye's words came from the heart. Before meeting Zheng Ting, they did run for their lives in a hurry, and now they have changed this situation.

"Your Highness, King Shou, is a tragic praise." Zheng Ting made a big change in the young King Shou. In the past, he was just a young prince who was taken care of by the emperor. He only knew how to play polo with the emperor, but he didn't expect to be so knowledgeable and well-educated.

"I just heard the lyrics chanted by Your Highness, describing yourself as a traveler. Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Your Highness is the lord of the lord (actually not. Although Li Ye and Li Yan's mother both have the surname Wang, they are not the same person). How can they be a traveler?" Zheng Ting did not intend to continue to argue too much about etiquette, and turned the topic to the lyrics sang by Li Ye.
