Tongguan, the place guarded by Li Chu, became the most intense battle. An Lushan proclaimed the emperor in Luoyang and ordered his soldiers to take Tongguan. Li Chu personally took the command and took the soldiers to guard Tongguan to the death.
The prince who hosted a banquet in the East Palace learned that the Tongguan war was in a hurry, and hurried to Miansheng. Crown Princess Zhang took the pearl to the Daxingguo Temple. On the surface, she wanted to pray for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact she had other conspiracies. When she left, the princess stayed in the temple for an excuse.
Pearl was pregnant, and she got up and returned home first. Unexpectedly, on the road, Pearl was attacked by a killer, and the windbreaker appeared in time to make Pearl survive the catastrophe without risk. But Feng Shengyi’s heart murmured, because he felt that the assassin’s leader gave him a feeling of deja vu. On the other side, the leader of the assassin went to Daxingguo Temple to return to the crown prince, saying that he had accidentally missed his hand. The princess was unhappy when she heard this.
In the Quang Binh Palace, Pearl heard Li Yan scolding Cui Caiping as soon as he entered the door. Pearl pulled Li Yan away, trying to calm down the situation. Cui Caiping, who had been pampered since childhood, couldn’t swallow this breath, and moved to aunt in the palace on her own terms.
Li Ji and General Guo worked together, and Tongguan was temporarily unaffected. Li Chu was strolling in Tongguan city, and saw the rattle, and he loved it. He bought it and wanted to give it to Shier when he returned to Beijing. Li Chu learned that Li Di and Guo Ziyi had defeated Shi Siming in Hebei, he was very happy, thinking that the current plan is for General Guo and Li Di to pursue the victory and continue to lead their troops northward. General Guo and General Yang also believed that Li Chu’s idea was the best policy.
Lin Zhi followed his father and master to the Hebei Army. Li Kui learned that Lin Zhi had arrived and was very worried, so he sent someone to find out about Lin Zhi. Li Di was injured, and his men asked Lin Zhilai to treat Li Di. Seeing Lin Zhiqing, Li Di couldn’t help asking her why she committed the risk alone.
Lin Zhi looked at Li Di’s worried face, and some fragments of the past suddenly appeared in her mind. These fragments made Lin Zhi feel scared, and she subconsciously pushed away. Li Di, ran out of the account. The next day, Li Kui had a fever due to a wound infection.
Lin Zhi came to Li Kui’s account again, and involuntarily thought of some things in the past. As a doctor, Lin Zhilian suspected that she was suffering from loss of soul. She told her master that she wanted to go to her father because as long as she saw that person, she would think of the past episodes. I can only avoid it.
In the palace, Yang Guozhong, who only considered his own self-interest, persuaded the emperor to let Li Chu go outside Tongguan to fight the enemy. The emperor once again listened to Yang Guozhong’s slander and ordered Yang Guozhong to rush to Tongguan with his imperial decree. After listening to the imperial decree, Li Chu was angry and refused to accept the decree. He analyzed the current situation to Yang Guozhong and said that he thought it would be beneficial to stick to Tongguan.
However, after Yang Guozhong returned to Chang’an, he did not relay Li Chu’s meaning to the emperor, and even distorted Li Chu’s meaning. The emperor successively issued thirteen imperial edicts, asking Li Chu to leave the customs and take the initiative to meet the enemy. Li Chu had no choice but to lead the soldiers out. Before setting off, he asked his cronies to bring his handwritten letter and rattle to Pearl.
Pearl in Chang’an worries about Li Chu on the front line, thinking day by day and dreaming at night. In her dream, she even dreamed that Li Chu was covered in blood, and Pearl was awakened and worried.
