The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 727 Li Ke’s Choice
Ashina Yun had just drunk quite a bit of wine in order to get Li Yan drunk, and she stood up in a hurry. She suddenly felt dizzy and her vision was blurry. She almost fell down after a while of shaking. She held onto the window railing, holding her breath, and concentrating her attention on looking at the street across the street.

Sure enough, I saw a horse team of seven or eight people coming this way. Several guards were protecting a young man in the middle, and a carriage was following behind.

When the convoy gradually approached the intersection, Ashina Yun saw clearly the noble young man in the middle. It was none other than Li Ke, the King of Shu, with whom he had been spending a few days together. These days, the two of them had been traveling together day and night. Even after drinking some wine, Ashina Yun could clearly distinguish each other's identity.

The important witness who can save his life must be in the carriage behind. What will Brother Ke choose?
When Li Ke led the convoy to the street corner, he stopped.

Ashina Yun's eyes opened wide, her heart suddenly started beating fast, her breathing became rapid, and she stared at Li Ke, who was standing hesitantly at the intersection, with a shining look in her eyes.

Turning east means leaving the city, and turning west means entering the palace.

Watching Li Ke on his horse turning his head to look outside the city, she knew that Li Ke must be hesitating now. Should he go outside the city to rescue herself and give up Cheng Yunliang; or give up himself, enter the palace to hand Cheng Yunliang over to the emperor, strike down political enemies, in exchange for his own prince title?

The two had already revealed their feelings in the past few days. Brother Ke did not seem to be faking his feelings for her. He had expressed his true feelings to her. Although there was no vow of love, they had expressed their love to each other. They had also held hands and looked at each other with deep affection.

He also told himself that he would explain their relationship to his father after a while and seek Li Shimin's support.

The two of them each persuaded their fathers and worked hard to overcome various obstacles in order to be together.

Knowing that he was in danger, Ke Ge would definitely save him, Ashina Yun had full confidence in Li Ke. As long as the children on the grassland are determined, even if they are not married, a man will sacrifice his life for the woman he loves.

Ashina Yun prayed silently in his heart, convincing himself that he should not doubt Li Ke.

But Li Ke, who stood at the intersection and looked towards the east for a long time without moving, made Ashina Yun feel a little depressed that he could not suppress no matter what.

Ashina Yun clenched her teeth tightly, her expression tense, her fingers as delicate as scallions turned white as she gripped the windowsill, she was extremely nervous.

At such an important moment, it is normal to weigh the pros and cons. After all, Brother Ke is a man with lofty ambitions, and he has a broad mind like an eagle. As long as he passes the test and chooses himself in the end, then these brief hesitations and wanderings will not matter, right?
Ashina Yun kept finding excuses to comfort himself in his heart. His heart beat faster and faster, his breathing became more rapid, and his expression became more flustered than he could detect.

"No, that won't happen. Brother Ke is just thinking about which road is closer. He is not hesitating whether to save me or not. He must be sincere to me." Ashina Yun's muttering voice gradually became louder, and even Wang Xuance, who was standing next to him, heard it.

Wang Xuance did not look at Li Ke and his group on the street outside, but he already knew the result.

The prince once said that whoever steals a country becomes a marquis. As long as one holds power, there is no one who does not desire to ascend the supreme throne. Even ordinary wealthy families secretly covet it, not to mention the emperor's descendants.

As long as one is of the emperor's bloodline, no matter how they behave in daily life, they will not be out of touch with the world.

It's just that the ways of fighting are different. Some use the cover of wielding guns and sticks, as if they are just warriors; some use profanity to show their innocence and show that they admire the teachings of sages; there are also some people who stay in their mansions every day, never going out of the front door or the back door, burning incense and practicing Taoism all day long, looking like they are not interested in fighting with the world, and believe in fighting without fighting.

In fact, they are all secretly spying on the artifact
Just like the prince setting up the Jinyiwei, whether it was to spy on the enemy or to monitor the local area, they were all excuses. No matter how things change, their core mission remains the same, which is to fight for the dragon, that is, to protect the prince to inherit the throne safely, and everything else is just a cover-up.

The main task of the Jinyiwei is to monitor, control and restrain these princes!
The Crown Prince had once ordered that all persons other than the princes were under the jurisdiction of the Emperor, and all persons below the princes were under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace. As long as they were of the Emperor's bloodline, no matter who they were, even if they were newborn babies, they would be guarded by someone.

Wang Xuance knew that the so-called "under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace" specifically meant that it was under the jurisdiction of him, Wang Xuance, so he was very attentive to these princes.

Especially for princes like Li Ke and Li Tai who were ambitious and determined to fight for the throne, he was very sure what Li Ke would choose. Moreover, in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he also asked Quan Wanji to act as a double insurance.

Therefore, at this time Wang Xuance didn't care about Li Ke outside at all, but put all his attention on the Hu princess in front of him. Every move of the other party did not escape his eyes.

Seeing Ashina Yun so nervous that her body was trembling slightly, Wang Xuance smiled as if everything was under control. His Highness is really smart. He is attacking the enemy's mind. This Hu princess probably has never experienced such a situation before?
After this incident, I'm afraid this Hu princess will never trust Li Ke again.
"drive"

Li Ke stood at the crossroads, looking towards the east of the city for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and let out a loud roar.

He suddenly turned around and hit the horse's butt hard with the whip in his hand.

The horse felt pain and started running fast, following the direction of the rein in Li Ke's hand, heading west towards the Taiji Palace.

With a crisp "pa" sound, Ashina Yun felt as if struck by lightning. The wine bowl in his hand slipped silently and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

The girl who was as lively and cute as a little deer before, her face that could stun the moon and shame the flowers turned pale in an instant, her eyes became dull, her eyes were empty, and the tears in the corners of her eyes flowed freely along her delicate cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string. Wang Xuance sighed in his heart, he knew that the love that had just been stirred up by the Hu princess in front of him was also shattered. The young girl who had just begun to fall in love was ruthlessly abandoned by the man she loved. This blow was really too cruel.

"Princess, are you okay?" Wang Xuance asked with concern.

Ashina Yun stared into the distance, the wetness gradually blurring the horse team in his sight, then he raised his head and closed his eyes, biting his lower lip tightly with his neat and white teeth, which seemed to seep out a trace of bright red, and looked particularly dazzling on his pale face.

Ashina Yun was totally unaware and stood silently in front of the window for a long time. He squeezed out the last tear from his eyes and sat down at the table in a daze. He saw Li Yan, who was still holding back from getting drunk and chattering nonstop.

Ashina Yun's mind was blank, as if he could not hear anything. He picked up the wine jar on the shelf next to him, removed the seal, and without even using a bowl, he just held the jar and poured the wine into his mouth.

The wine poured out so quickly that it splashed all over Ashina Yun's face and body, but Ashina Yun seemed not to notice and continued to swallow it in big gulps. She wanted to use a drunken state to numb her heartbroken and broken heart.

The wine is pouring, but the tears are flowing out
"Princess, you can't!"

Wang Xuance pretended to be anxious and at a loss: "Princess, drinking like this will hurt your body. Princess, take care of yourself and don't destroy yourself like this."

"Yes, yes, Princess, drink less."

Li Yan also stretched out his hands and grabbed randomly. Maybe he was too drunk, and he failed to stop the wine jar several times. Until Ashina Yun finished the whole jar of wine, the king and his minister were unable to stop him.

Putting down the wine jar, Ashina Yun laughed uninhibitedly: "What a good wine! The wine from the Central Plains is indeed different. It's rare for us on the grassland to drink it. I want to drink it again."

As he spoke, Ashina Yun grabbed another jar, and when he had almost finished the jar, he finally became drunk, his eyes blurred, and he said with a wry smile: "You, the men of the Central Plains and Tang Dynasty are really no good, you can't compare to the men of our grasslands who are free and easy and honest, and you are always good at playing tricks and deceiving people."

"So and so said so."

Seeing this, Li Yan stood up tremblingly, walked to Ashina Yun, sat down next to Ashina Yun's delicate body calmly, patted his chest, and said in a somewhat confused manner: "My Great Tang's Crown Prince is... the best man in the world."

"you"

Perhaps the men and women of the grasslands did not have as many etiquette rules as those in the Central Plains, or perhaps Ashina Yun was already confused. In short, in Wang Xuance's very surprised eyes, the distance between the prince and the little Turkic princess was a little too close.

But Ashina Yun turned a blind eye to Li Yan's obviously rude behavior. Her beautiful eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and she sneered at Li Yan with contempt: "You are the worst, Brother Ke. That bastard Li Ke said you were incompetent. He also said you were a waste. He said you only knew how to flatter and curry favor with the emperor and empress, and you don't have any real skills at all."

"I only half believed you before, but after seeing you today, I can see that you are so fussy even when drinking, and you don't act like a man. I really despise you."

"What? You dare to make fun of me?"

Li Yan immediately became furious and said, "Xuan Ce, bring me two jars of wine. If I don't make this girl... drink herself to death today, I will no longer be the crown prince."

"Your Highness, your alcohol tolerance is not that good. Why do you have to compete with the princess?" Wang Xuance did not dare to disobey. He said words of persuasion and discouragement, but his legs and feet were very nimble. He quickly picked up two jars of wine from the side and put them on the table.

"Hehehehe."

When Ashina Yun heard Wang Xuance's words, he looked down upon him. He smiled like a silver bell, put his hand on Li Yan's shoulder and patted him unceremoniously. He said in a heroic manner, "Okay, the prince is really a man. Come, let's drink. We won't go home until we are drunk today."

"If you make me drunk, I will form an An-An-An-An relationship with you."

"Prince?"

As soon as Wang Xuance said this, Li Yan immediately glared at him, looking like he couldn't stand being provoked and acting out of loyalty, and said angrily: "I'm drinking, and you still have to stop me? Get out of here, no one is allowed to come in unless I tell you to."

Li Yan was anxious, and said this sentence very smoothly, but Ashina Yun didn't notice anything wrong, the expression on his face was already out of control, he laughed wantonly, his smile was very bright: "Hahaha, well said, get out, don't disturb us drinking"

"Then Your Highness, I will be guarding outside the door. If you need anything, please call me." Seeing this, Wang Xuance drooped his eyelids, lowered his head and sighed, then had to retreat.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Yan and Ashina Yunyun picked up the wine jar and continued drinking.
